  Speaker 1: New York. Now three hours every weekday from 9 till
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: noon on 710WOR. Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the number.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Paul, North Carolina. Paul, how you doing?
• 0:10
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: How's it going?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Interesting detail about the disruptive guy on the plane.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: The guy sitting next to him was actually a pastor
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: and a rabbi, a messianic rabbi, which I believe Jesus
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: is the Messiah. And a very well-known guy, Jonathan Cahn,
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: widely reported in the Post and TV interviews. But he
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: said that he wasn't drunk, he was very pleasant, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: he feels that it was a demonic spirit that came
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: over him. instantly changed him when the subject of Jesus
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: came up between the two of him.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: All right. Again, I give you my plain rule. One,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: don't talk to the person next to you. If you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: have to talk to him, forget Jesus. Talk about, uh,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. Don't talk about Jesus with the person.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Believe me.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: I know I ended up sitting next to a, uh,
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: former New Jersey Congressman, uh, a year or two ago,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: flying back to New York for work. And, uh, Ended
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: up having to have a whole political conversation.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Again, don't talk to the person next to you. If
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you find out it's a New Jersey congressman, change seats.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Don't sit next to him.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Believe me, I would have if I could.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for calling. Let's go to Sandy in Rhode Island. Sandy,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: where are you in Rhode Island?
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Mark Simone, it's so good to talk to you. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: haven't talked to you in two years.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, where are you in Rhode Island?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: In Westerly, Rhode Island.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Very nice place. Do you know that I used to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: be on WPRO Providence, Rhode Island?
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: You were?
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Yes. Wow.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Taylor Swift has a house here on the
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: beach in Watch Hill.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where the Ocean House is, right?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Most beautiful, beautiful New England hotel resort in the world.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It is. Well, Michael, you know everything, and I've been
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: wanting to call you for a long time. I've been
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: praying for Nancy, Savannah Guthrie's mother, that they'll find her.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Have you heard anything at all? It's been seven months,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: and the last thing I heard, she got a note
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: saying her mother was buried in nature. I don't hear
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: anything on the radio.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Well, I noticed this past two weeks, for the first
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: time ever, Nancy Guthrie says, when she talks about her mother,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: she was. She's using the past tense on her now.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So I guess she's accepted the fact that she's gone,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: most likely buried somewhere. They may eventually find her, her remains.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I hope so. Yeah. All right. Well, thanks for calling.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Apparently there were a bunch of ransom notes or notes
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: from various people claiming to be the kidnapper. There was
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: one that apparently was the real one because he, in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the note, identified the type of watch, the color of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the Apple watch she was wearing, something about her... cell phone.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: They knew enough that they knew it was the real guy.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And that's the one that said she's buried in nature now.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Rob Franklin Square. Rob, how you doing?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark. Before I get to Comics Unleashed, I'd like
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to shout out to Righteous Brother Bill Medley's birthday. Tomorrow
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: he'll be 86. With Comics Unleashed, I noticed that they've
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: only done like four seasons based over like almost 20 years. No, no, no.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: They've done thousands of shows. They've done it for 20 years.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: But the seasons like today, the show tonight is from
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: November 2025. and then the second one, 1205, is from
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Season 1.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Just like the other late-night shows, they do occasionally run reruns.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been syndicated, but I think the four seasons,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think a lot of them weren't shown in
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: New York until.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, they were. He had a deal where
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: they were on Channel 4 late at night, but now
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: they're on CBS.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought they were always on CBS. Maybe that's
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: why I probably didn't see it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You're a big fan of Comics Unleashed?
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: I like it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You know, they had a show on earlier this week.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: It was Sebastian. I can't butcher his name. He's like
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the hottest comedian. It was from season one.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Sebastian DiScalco.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, 2006. Yeah, it's good. It's good. Anything's better than
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that Colbert.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Thank God. Thanks for calling. It's a great show, Comics Unleashed.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: They fired Colbert and Byron Allen. A comedian who became
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a big businessman, a billionaire now, came up with this
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Comics Unleashed many years ago. So he actually buys the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: time from CBS. He buys the hour and he runs
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Comics Unleashed. And it's a very funny show with great comedians.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And it's just comedy. There's no politics. Not only are
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you not allowed to do any political jokes, you can't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: do any topical jokes. So it's timeless. And that's why
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: they can rerun a show from years ago. It's totally timeless.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Very successful. It's crushing Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel in
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: 18 to 49-year-olds. That's the most important demo. So it's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: beating the hell out of them right now. Let's go
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to Pete in Wayne, New Jersey. Pete, how are you doing?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Hey, good, Mark.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: I go back a long way with you. I actually
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: listened to you when you were on the Simone phone
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: when I was a young kid.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You're still a young kid.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Excuse me?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Still a young kid.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm 66, but I feel like I'm 30.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Um going back um i was thinking about old talk
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: old time talk radio and i remember bob grant and
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: his opening monologues and most people never listen to bob
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: grant but if you go back now and listen to
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: his opening monologues they were epic well.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: He was a very smart guy very articulate guy not
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the nicest guy in the world in real life but
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a very great talk show host and uh He would
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: open the show. What did he say? Let's be heard.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: All right. He would always do that.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Straight ahead.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Straight ahead.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: And he'd say, straight ahead. And he'd say, free to
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: the open.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Wait.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: The show dedicated to the free and open exchange.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Of ideas and of opinions. Yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: So I'm wondering if you would ever consider doing like
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: an opening monologue the way he did.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Many people copied Bob Grant. Mark Levin copies him. He
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: always talks about him. Sean Hannity. A little once in
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a while throws him in. I tried very hard never
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to be like Bob Grant. No, no, no.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: You have a different shtick. You're more pleasant. But I'm
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: saying if you ever did his opening monologue, I think
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: it would make a great show that much even better.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Well, we already do an opening monologue.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Well, and the way he did it, like he would
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: attack like a hot topic and he would just dissect
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: it and make you think.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: He was also could be a bit of a racist
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: at times. He had a lot of bad sides to him, too.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Remember, he got run out of town several times. And, yeah,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: one time he was run out of town. He couldn't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: come back for like eight years. And then early 2000s,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: remember the New York Magazine big, he put him on
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the cover. It was called Hate Radio. And then, again,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the racist stuff always caught up with him. He tried
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to tone it down in later years. But then one
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: comment got him fired from ABC. Let's go to Vera
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in New York. Vera, how are you doing?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: How you doing?
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: First time caller.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling, Vera.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, I was calling you about the Balance of Nature
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: promo code that you gave out.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: I called them to try to get it, and they
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: wouldn't give it to me.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's for everybody. We don't want you to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: have it. It's just you. They don't want you to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: have it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Well, no, they said the only way you can get
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: it is to subscribe.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Well, I think you have to have a subscription because
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: you've got to take it every month or every day.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But go to balanceofnature.com. Go to balanceofnature.com, the website.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, but I did that. I'm just trying to explain
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: to you, when you give out the promo code, that's
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: the part that's missing.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mention subscription. So when you go on, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I like it, I.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Keep buying it. Oh, I think you can try it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I think you can try it just once and then
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: cancel the subscription.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a smart idea.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. All right. They do that all the time.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Every product does that now.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Every.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: News site, everything. Hey, you can have it now at $ 9.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: And in the fine print, it says, after that, your
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: subscription is $ 20 a month. So you have to sign
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: up for the subscription and then cancel it if you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: don't like it. But balance of nature, you're going to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: love it. You're not going to cancel. Hey, when we
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: come back, plastic surgery. Everybody's got questions. Everybody's thinking of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: plastic surgery. We've got the best plastic surgeon, Dr. Arthur Perry.
