  Speaker 1: Oh, you're right. You're right. Airport's named for celebrities. Very few.

  Speaker 1: John Wayne Airport. Absolutely. Very good. Yeah, thanks for that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I forgot. As we mentioned before, they have now voted
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: unanimously to name the Nashville airport after Dolly Parton. A
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: lot of airports named after presidents and senators and politicians.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Very few after celebrities. Let's go to Mara in Nevada. Mara,

  Speaker 3: These women jurors and the ladies in the pink jackets
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: showing all this compassion for Lindsay, who her lawyer calls
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: a wonderful mother. I would love to know if they
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: would let her babysit.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I don't think so. Very good point. This
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: lawyer deserves a lot of credit for being able to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: get this stuff out of his mouth with a straight face.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: He said, I know Lindsay. She's like a daughter. She's
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a wonderful mother. Except for the choking her kids to death.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: She's a wonderful mother. But this guy, this lawyer is
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: 75 years old, end of his career. He doesn't have
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a good track record. He hasn't won a lot of
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: big cases. He needs some good note to go on,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: go out on. And this will be it. Let's go
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to John in Manhattan. John, how you doing? Hello, John. John,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: what happened? You fall down a well? We can hardly
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: hear you.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not in the well.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I'm here in Manhattan.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: You sound like you're 20 feet from the phone.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a speakerphone.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Well, there's millions of, several million people are listening. How
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: many people have to be listening before you'll actually pick
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: up the phone and walk into it? One.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I have the invitation.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Ziggy, you know.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Ziggy, right?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Well, wait, if you're going to get that far away,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: hang on. Let me get that far away.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I have the invitation.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I'll go far away, too.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: How's that?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I have the invitation.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: To what?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Her name was requested to be deleted by DJT.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Ah, there you go. Anybody know what the hell she's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: talking about? Where's that Google translator? Why was.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I don't want to call him the president, but DJT
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: requested you to be deleted.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: All right, let's try to translate this.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: DJT is Donald Trump.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think you better hang up the phone. You
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: better hang up before the attendants catch you making this call. So,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: we've got to get unlisted numbers. Hey, what happened? There's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: no calls.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: 800.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: What's the number?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Call us.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: 0-7-10.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, we were talking about Apple before and their new products,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the foldable phone. They're getting attacked by, especially Samsung has
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: taken out ads against them, saying, well, they've just taken
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: our left. They're warming over our leftovers. They're copying us.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And I see some people picking up on that. Look
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: at Apple. They're copying Samsung with the foldable phone. Just
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to correct the record, Apple always... always waits for other
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: companies to come out with stuff, new technologies, new products,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: before they do it. They always let somebody else do
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it first. And then they come along and do it
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: much better. So, for instance, the iPhone was not the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: first smartphone. There was the Palm Trio. There were a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: bunch of smartphones. And Apple watches these companies with their smartphones.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And then they just come out and make the ultimate one.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And iPad was not the first tablet. Remember, Vision Pro
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: made the, well, iPad was, there were plenty of tablets.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Apple watches that. Then they come out with the best
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: tablet of all. Same thing with the Vision Pro. That
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: was not the first reality, mixed reality headset. And the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: list goes on and on. Every product they made, they
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: let somebody else make it first, and then they perfect it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Tim in Hartsdale. Tim, how you doing?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Hi, how are you doing? Yeah, I was called with
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: another celebrity airport.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Louis Armstrong Airport in New Orleans.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Of course, you're right. Absolutely. Louis Armstrong was from New Orleans. Pops. Yeah, Pops.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Lived in Queens while he was a big star. But, yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you're right. Absolutely. Okay, thanks. That's a good one. Yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: celebrity airports. Very few. John Lennon Airport, Liverpool. John Wayne Airport,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Orange County. Bob Hope Airport, Burbank. There will now be
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a Dolly Parton Airport in Nashville, Tennessee. Let's go to
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Eric in New Jersey. Eric, how are you doing?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mark. Good morning. Good show, as always. Thanks. Listen,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: as far as the phones go, I mean, I've always
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: had an Android phone. I just purchased one a month ago,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the Samsung Z Folding 8. It is fantastic.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And you can see it in the daylight.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You can see it in the daylight, not like the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: other phones I had. I'm 74, and I'm still figuring
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: this thing out. I have so many things to do.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: My daughter helped me set it up. I'm tech savvy,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: but I love it. I love it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Android's a good phone, but when you pick up an
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: iPhone and hold it, don't you feel the difference? Hardware's better.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tiny.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: The hardware's better.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: This opens up to a 4x4, almost like a mini
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: tablet also. Or it's just a standard. It's a good
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: phone for a price.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Now that's a good point. Yeah, if you're older and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you need the letters bigger, the tablet, the foldable phone,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: much better for you. Let's go to Greg Long Island. Greg,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: how you doing? Hi, Mark.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: Wanted to talk real quick about Tiger Woods' case.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: I'm concerned about the idea that he can get better
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: by going off into anonymity in a hidden place and
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: get better and come back, and the judge.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Thinks he's doing his job.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: What Tiger really needs, if I may say, having done
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: this myself as a judge, is to put Tiger and
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: people of similar cases in what's known as a drug court,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: where they have a team assigned to them, a probation officer,
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: a drug counselor, and they report back to the court
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: in person every couple of weeks. And the judge makes
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: a determination of whether the sentence should be imposed or
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: held further in abeyance until he makes further improvement. That
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: would incentivize him to succeed because he's on the path
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: where 85% or more of the people who do it
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: his way and the way that this judge is doing it,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: have relapses. They fall apart. It's a path to oblivion,
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: the way they're doing it and the way most drug
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: treatment is done.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense. It's a very good idea.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You were a judge. That makes a lot of sense.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: But remember, this is Florida where things are a little screwy,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: especially in their courts, and Tiger's a powerful guy and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: can maneuver around. Where are you in Long Island?
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: I'm on North Fork out in Jamesport.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Whoa, you're way out there. Very good.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Great places to eat, by the way. Cliff's Rendezvous.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: We have a lot.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: Of other places that I think if you get out here,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: you'd love it. It's where God's country is still holding on.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I know, but it's so far away. You go to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Nassau County, you've got a million great places to eat.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Why do I need to go all the way out
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to Cliff's Rendezvous?
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Because you have the beautiful Long Island sounds a couple
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: of miles one side And a beautiful Peconic Bay estuary
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: system on the other side.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, right. But you go to Oyster Bay, you've got
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a beautiful Long Island sound right there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but do you have farm country? We're one of
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: the leading farming counties still in the state. And we've
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: got a lot of that farming preserved for good in
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: the development rights program right on the north and south forks.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: South Fork is different.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: You should be on the Chamber of Commerce. You're a
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: good salesman for that. All right. Great call, Greg. Thanks
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: for calling. I don't want any farm country, do I? No,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. Oh, when we come back, we'll
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: talk to the greatest columnist in America, Michael Goodwin. He'll
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: be with us next.
