  Speaker 1: Mark Simo live from the WR Life Back Studios. Hey,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: seven ten is number eight hundred three to two one
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Do you ever think about you in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: a time machine like I'd love to go back to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty two, nineteen twenty five, the Roaring twenties. Let's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: say you went back to nineteen sixty two. You'd be stunned.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: There's no such thing as a seat belt. There's no
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: such thing as a helmet for bikes. They didn't make anything.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: They didn't even make them. There was no such thing
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: back then. If you watch TV, all you'd see was
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: commercials for cigarettes. You know, that was the biggest advertisers,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the tobacco companies that you know. One day was at
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: sixty four, sixty five, maybe later sixty seven they banned
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: cigarette advertising. That was a huge, huge blow to the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: broadcasting usury. Not only did they advertise cigarettes, not only
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: did they have commercials for them, but they would you know, nowadays,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: your doctor would go crazy if you smoked. The doctor'd
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: yell you not to smoke. Back then, they would run
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: these commercials. Here's one for camel cigarettes. Now, that was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the strongest, roughest cigarette you could smoke. Frank Sinatra, smoke
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: those camel cigarettes, unfiltered camels. Now here's a commercial for
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: camel cigarettes where they follow a doctor around during the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: day and they tell you that doctors smoke camel. Doctors
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: love camel cigarettes. It's their favorite cigarette.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: You would bind yourself having a mighty busy time keeping
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: up with him. Time out or many men of medicine
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: usually means just long enough.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: To enjoy a cigarette.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: And because they know what a pleasure it is to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: smoke a mild, good tasting cigarette, they're particular about the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: brand they choose. In a repeated national surrey doctors in
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: all branches of medicine, doctors in all parts of the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: country were asked what cigarette do you smoke?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Doctor?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Once again, the brand named most was camel. Yes, according
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to this repeated nationwide survey, more doctors smoke camels than
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: any other cigarette. Why not change to camels?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Now, there's no cigarette less mild than a camel cigarette.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was great, but it was not mild.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: It was a different world back then, you could say.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: A recent study showed ninety percent of all doctors smoked
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: camel first of all, that's impossible. Second of all, it
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: was back then there was nobody to check anything. You
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: could say anything on the air if you do that. Nowadays,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: there's twelve committees, commissions groups that would check, fact check.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: You what study showed ninety nine percent of smoke, But
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: there was very few people actually smoke camel back then. Anyway,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: let's take some calls. Let's go to Victor in cherry Ridge, Pennsylvania.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Isn't that where Billy Joe McCallister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge. No, No,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: that was shocked. Diar Ridge. Okay, Cherry Ridge, Mark. You know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: when you on the other network, you are on seven
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: days a week all the time.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: So I was thrilled that you got three hours, but
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: it was great when you on the other network.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I was thinking back on that, it's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: rough doing three hours. But I used to fill in
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for Imus like twelve weeks a year. That was four hours,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and then sometimes I'd do Imus and I come back
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon do Sean Hannity, and then I would
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: do Levin's show. So yeah, sometimes I would do eight
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: hours in one day, but I got used to that
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: two hours. You get soft. Sometimes let's go to uh
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Terry in Connecticut. Terry, how you doing, Oh, I'm doing fine.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to thank you for talking about the helipad.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, I heard.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I happened to hear Harold Ford yesterday and he was saying, oh,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Trump should be paying attention to other things instead of
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: building a helipad. And I thought, what's this helipad business?
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: And so you explained it so well along with all
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: the other things, and I thought, of course, it makes
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: total sense. And he's not out there digging up the
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: dirt to put in the helipad anyway.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: No, but he's out there. He's great at that. That's
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: what he does best, is build, and he's great out there.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He was supervising the whole thing. Go on line. You
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: can see some great video of him with the guys,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the workers doing it, and it was great. Yeah. They
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: That is the dumbest argument in the world. What's he
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: doing building a helipad when he should be worrying about
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the economy. What's he doing building a ball? He should
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be worrying, He should be focused, don't worry. He spends
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: all day on the economy and everything else. It can
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: take a couple of minutes to go build a helipad.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: You know, the guy's a multi billionaire. This guy's had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: like a fifty thousand employees for forty years. He's run
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a massive business all over the world. These guys can
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: multitask like nobody. You've ever seen any billionaire. These guys
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: are running like fifteen major companies at once. They can
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: keep track of everything. It's not like us, where you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: got to stop and just focus on one thing all
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: day to get it done. They can focus on fifty
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: things at once. And this idea that you building help
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he should be concentrated. Well, you never saw Biden for
• 5:07
