• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to the Mark Simone Show on w O R. Oh no,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: there's more of that Christmas stuff. Well, you got to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: be honest. We have to admit next week at Thanksgiving.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Next week is Thanksgiving. Anyway, let's take some calls. Let's
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: go to uh D in Miami. D. How you doing?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Hello, Yes, good morning. Sure, Yes, I have a question
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I'd like to ask you, sir.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: What do you think will happen if Africa was cut
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: off is uranium export to the United States in the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Western world.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Well, that could affect my iPhone battery. That would be
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: something that would be terrible.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: That's what I think. I think the African counting a
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: you're gonna start, you know, to do because if this
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: man is going to continue in his policies, he's continued.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: What are we talking about trumps?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Of course, sir?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Oh well, but also remember.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Also remember opinion for a minute, please.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: No, I also remember at the same time, it would
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: be the end of the African economy since that's what
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: they do for a living is sell us uranium and
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: without that they'd go broke pretty fast. So let's go
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to Bob and New Rochelle. Bob, how you doing. Wait
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a minute, Bob, are there? Nope? We lost them. Let's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: uh there, we got them. Go ahead.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I know you're big Blue Bloods fan. My
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: wife's got me watching and I got a bit. It's
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: a good show, and I understand that you have to
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: suspend reality to a certain degree to these kind of shows.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: But what would you in your opinion? Would you say
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: a more unrealistic one of the Reagans being involved in
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: the biggest case of the city every week, or Danny
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Reagan have nothing but smoking hot partners and his wife
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: not having a problem with it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Well, these are very good questions. I love Blue Bloods.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I still watch it and reruns every Wednesday. There is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a blue Blood Marathon. I love Blue Bloods. It's the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: most unrealistic cop show ever. First of all, Len carry
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you plays Tom Selick's father. These two guys are the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: same age. There's like a one year age between these
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: two guys. Makes no sense at all. There's all kinds
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of technical things, like the police commissioner does not wear
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a uniform, which Tom Selleck does at times.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: In the show.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Also, Danny Reagan every week is involved in a massive gunfire,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: massive shootout every week. I've asked three commissioners, has there
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: ever been a cop that's in a shootout every week?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And they all said, if there was, I'd pull him
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: off the street immediately. We'd never be able to do that. Also, well,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we could go on and on. It's very unrealistic, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: despite that, it's a great show. You know, Like, if
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you want to go back and watch NYPD Blue, NHYPD
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Blue is probably the most realistic cop show. And I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: started watching Boston Blue, the spinoff with Danny Reagan. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: got to admit, it's pretty good. It's very, very different
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: from Blue Blood. They've kept a couple of factors there,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a couple of little things, but it's very different and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it's a great show. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark, Mike.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: I was laughing when you were talking about that Florida
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: h O way that was putting up the that's cracked
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: down on the Christmas decorations. I live in one of
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: these so called active fifty five communities, and it's neither
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: over just over fifty five or active, unless you consider
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: magong are contact sport. But they can't wait to put
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: up those stinking Christmas decorations. The irony is they're all
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: asleep by six o'clock that they don't even get to
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: see the lights lit up. And they're the most decrepit
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: looking things that they've been in the back of their garage.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: You know that they lived in Michigan and they dragged
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: down here and I'm gonna put you know in their
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: follow liying like there's little kids around, and it's it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: so pathetic. I'm not against Christmas, it's great, but it's
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: their forced joy is like ludicrous. You can't wait to
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: put them up.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of pathetic things about Florida. The most
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: pathetic is when you people in Florida try to celebrate Christmas.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: It doesn't look right. Palm trees and Christmas don't go together.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: No, not at all. It's eighty five degrees and I
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: follow lie.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't work all right, Mike, thanks for calling.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You know, it's better to live in one of these
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: condo communities or something like that, because you know everything's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: taken care of. If you've got your own house, you
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: got to find your own plumber. You got to find
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: your own people to fix it. If it's so much
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: easier in a condo, one of those complexes, one of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: those communities. But then you got the board. You know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it's always little old ladies with nothing to do who
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: go on this board and then run around on patrol
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: enforcing every little rule. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well, Thank you. Mark.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: I'm just beginning to read Love Johnny Carson by Mark Malcolm.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It's the definitive book on Johnny Carson. It's the greatest
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: book ever in Johnny Carson just came out. We'll have
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the author on in the next hour, but go ahead.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: I noticed you've been quoted numerous times in the book.
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: I flipped through it quickly. But I have a question,
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: if I may. It says you had said that the
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Midwest is very important to the Tonight Show and that's
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: what Johnny believes. Could you please explain? And lastly, Mark,
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: my second question is did Johnny's guest hosts follow that policy?
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: A couple of things about the Midwest. One a great
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: analyst show business analyst showed that all the great talk
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: show hosts were from the Midwest, Johnny Carson, David Letterman,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: all these sorts. You could go down a whole list.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: But the guests, we're all from New York. All the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: great comedians are from Brooklyn or you know, New Jersey,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: or they were all local New York. But in their
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: own city, they couldn't be the host. It was always
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the Midwesterner that had to be the host of the show.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And Johnny and one of the valuable lessons he taught people,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: he told me about this. He always taught this lesson.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: The battle is won in the central time zone. It's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a very important rule. Don't try to appeal to like
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: elite New York or La or Beverly Hills. Always try
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to appeal to the middle. And hey, we don't have
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: much time, but let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I'm doing good, Marc, good morning. Mark. I hope us
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Jessicatish does not take the job with Zora Mundani finish
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: out her term. She's doing a great job. She does
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: have a business to go back to. And let Zora
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Mandani's diz that were on his political posters. He just
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: had his first name, Zoran. Well, let the letter z
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: become the new scholart letter. Let him hang by his
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: own petad. And another thing, Kathy Hochel is thinking about
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: flip flopping on the corporate taxes, so Mandamie could have
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: his if we daycare, don't do it, stupid Hoko, you
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: could attract Jersey business to New York. They're paying eleven
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: point nine, we're charging seven point nine. If she had
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: any sense of any brains in her head, she could
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: use that as a selling point to draw the corporate
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: head quality.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not brains, it's backbone. She has no backbone.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: She's afraid of getting primary.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what Michael Goodwin's article talked about. Yeah, she
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't have any backbone. But please, mistache, do not take
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: the job. Let it go to Let let disease for
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Zoran become the new scholar letter. You like trumpiness, when
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: you plan, you come back and then you can wipe
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: the floor with him.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: All right, Vincent, great call, Hey, when we come back.
• 7:51
