  Speaker 1: was it the Daily News of the World Telegram on
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: one of those things and Jack O'Brien, yeah, used to anyway,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: The show was called Critics Circle. I actually knew the guy.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: It was very late in his life. Not the nicest
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: guy in the world. I never really liked him.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: But go ahead, Well, well about Sinatra. He had some
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: kind of feud or he hated Sinatra?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Well, uh, Jack O'Brien was this guy could have a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: feud with anybody. If you met him for two minutes,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you'd hate the guy.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, he just not a nice guy. I'd argue
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: about anything and everything.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Can I tell you you know the man? I didn't,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: But can I tell you my favorite Sinatra quote?
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, is it?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: When he was freshed about this mob connections early on, right,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: he says, any of the checks were always good?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: You know, well, it's too much to get into the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: whole mob thing. He wasn't the mob singer. He was
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: made out to me. He loved the mob. He romanticized
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that he chased after these mobsters. He loved hanging out
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: with him. There were other guys in the music, other
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: famous singers who were so mob connected, way beyond Sinatra.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: But Sinatra liked to play it up a lot. Let's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: go to Dave in Chicago.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Dave, how you doing, Good morning, Mark.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: I'm doing very well. Thank you, Mark. I have a
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: couple of Frank Sinatra questions, if I may go ahead.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I know he had a record label call the Reprise Records.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: The Night.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I had heard that he did not like the song.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: And the second question is regarding the rat Pack. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: had heard that Angie Dickinson was a member. Is this true?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, she was in the movie Ocean's Eleven. She was
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a member of the rat Pack Strangers in the Night. Yes,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he did hate that song. He didn't like my Way,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: couldn't stand it, hated paul Anka. Despite anything, paul Anka,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I tell you, Sinatra was not a big paul Anka FANU.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's the Concert for the Americas. You can
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: get the video the Concert for the America's whenever it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: was big TV special and we're going to film the concert.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He had to do Strangers in the Night. He hated
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the song. But if you get the Concert for the Americas,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: he does Strangers in the Night and at the end
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: people are applauding and applauding. You see him go over
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and say something to Vinnie Falcone, the pianist and conduct
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And I said the Falcon, what did he say to you?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And he said he went over and said, that's the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: worst Fens song ever written. He didn't, he said the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: actual effort. So I went back and I got you
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: can barely hear it, but if you turn it up
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: real loud, put your ear right up there, you can
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: hear him say that to Vinnie Falcone. Let's go to
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing, Good.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning Marah. Mark. You may
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: remember the theater critic of the New York Times, Andrew saras.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, I didn't know him. I know the name.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he lived in my building. He was more lived
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: in my apartment building.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: There's more of a film critic.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: Wasn't he He was. I was very young when he
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: lived in my house. But anyway, he lived in my
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: house when my when my family owned the building. What
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: I wanted to say is, it would be easy to
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: bring a case against Letitia James in New York because
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: here it's black and white. It was in Virginia, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: here at first off, we would go to Brooklyn because
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: she owns the property in Brooklyn and she listed it
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: as a four family. It's a five family. And also
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Dre's here.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you're also you're right about the law, But you
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: can't bring the case in New York because you got
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: New York judges, new York jury's they'll never do anything.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: But don't they have the same crooked problem in Virginia mind?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently, But in New York, forget it. You know
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that case she brought against Sinatra, not Sinatra Trump, in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: case she brought against Trump. No judge jury anywhere in
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the world would allow that, no court room, but only
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: here in New York, crazy left wing judges.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're you're right, Bok, you're you're right. Probably it
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: would be like a lead balloon here. But I just
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: thought because maybe with the insurance company, because you.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Gotta get it anytime you're in the New York Court,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: New York judge, New York jurors.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Forget it. You got no shot. That's ted.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Unfortunately, you're probably right.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Mak all right, great call, Thanks for Colin. Wh break

• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to the greatest polster in the world. You're
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: being bombarded with fake polls right now, ap those kind
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of crazy left wing slanted places. We'll get We'll get
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the real story. Let's see what kind of what he
