  Speaker 2: Well, I'm playing about two hundred shows a year with

  Speaker 2: the band, you know. I do solo, duo and a fish.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I sit around the pool like I'm sitting around the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: pool listening to you right now, waiting to go to
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: a show this afternoon. I'm playing for the little Rivet
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Elks Clubs.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You know what, that sounds really exciting.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: They have so stuffed pork shops special tonight too. This
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: oh well, looking forward.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Well say hello to Op and antp for us.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's you calling on? I know you mentioned that
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Louisiana and West Virginia have joined a subpoena on FOUCH. Mike,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I got two questions for you. Is The first one
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: is is the reporting on Newsmax that FCC scraps a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: TV cap and backs a massive consolidation. What does that mean?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I say that again, the FCC scraps TV cap. Oh,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: backs of massive consolidation.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: There's a limit on how many TV stations a company
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: can own. Used to be you could only own five
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: TV stations, that's it. Then it was maybe seven, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: then they keep expanding it. So, uh, nobody watches TV anymore, well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: network TV, local TV, I mean nobody. But the viewership
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: is way, way, way way down. So the reason they
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: put a cap before was that no one company could
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: buy so many TV stations that they could reach every
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: c But back then, if you had five or seven,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you could reach thirty eight percent of America. Now you'd
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: have to have it. They must, You'd have to have
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: fifty thirty eight percent.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: They must have dumped out of ago because no offul
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: lou own like two hundred and something stations. Include radio
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: stations including W GBB on Long On, which I was
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: on for twenty five years. And the other question that's up.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: There with appearing at the Elks Club. But now that's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that's different. Radio is different. You could buy I forget
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: what I think, you'd buy seven or ten stations in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the market. So all you'd need was to do that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: in twenty cities. Arthur Lose, a guy who put together what.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Are you gonna have? What are you gonna have? McLachlin
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: back on, because the report this morning that Chuck Schumer
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: is out of forty six percent negative through McLaughlin and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: he's always got great information and inside.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Of me will get him on next week. We'll definitely
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: have him on next week. Yeah, let's go to Mike
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and Beth Page. Mike, how you doing good?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Mark?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: How are you good?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I know you're so concerned about the weather. I don't
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: know if you've heard that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: The other day the guy who created the heat index
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: for meteorologists passed away.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He was eighty eight, but he felt like one hundred
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and two.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: All right, that's not bad ex for call. They got
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: these stupid things, the heat index. Nobody can figure it out.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You're watching the weather, it's eighty five, but it feels
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: like ninety seven. Well, if it feels like ninety seven,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: how come it's not ninety seven. They still can't explain
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that to anybody. Hey, now listen to this. When you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: go in the subway, you used to use a metro card.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Before that, it was subway tokens. But over the last
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: few years you'd use your metro card. And if you
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: needed the metro card, how did you get it? You
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: go down the subway station. There was big, huge machine
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that you get the metro card from. You stick in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: your credit card or you slide the money in and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on the screen you type it. Well, you'd get your
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: metro card. Remember that big metal machine. It was like
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the size of a coke machine, actually bigger than a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: coke machine, a little taller, little fatter. So there's no
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: more metro cards. They don't need those machines anymore. There
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: was sometimes two or three of them or five of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: them in a subway station. They don't need them anymore.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So what do they do with them? Just lugging them
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: out of there's got to be a pain in the neck.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But what are they going to do with them? They
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: are now auctioning them off the MTA is holding an
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: auction for those metro card machines. Bidding will start at
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars. Now, who would think anybody would want
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: one of these? They're hideous, They're ugly. They're big, industrial, ugly,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: hideous things. I could see buying a jukebox for your apartment.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: You know, somebody's getting rid of a jukebox. I could
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: see putting that in your apartment. That can be kind
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: of cool. It looks kind of cool. But this big, fat,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: clunky hunk of metal, this thing, not to mention it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a thousand pounds. It's one thousand pounds, and if you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: are the winning bidder, it'll go to the highest bidder.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: This is through August nineteenth, so you don't have a
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: lot of time. If you're the winning bidder, you have
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: to you have to pick up the machine. They will, actually,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they will get the machines out of the subway station.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: How did they ever get them in there? You see
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: how big and fat these things are. Some of these
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: subway stations, you gotta go down like two flights of stairs.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: How did they get them down there? Well, usually the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: machine's up at the top level, but they don't all
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: have elevators, and they wouldn't even fit in an elevator.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So they're gonna keep these Somehow, they'll get them out
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of the subway station. They'll have them in warehouses in
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn or Queens and you will have to pick them
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: up there and somehow transport them to your house. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: now a lot of people may not have a front
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: door big enough to get these things. And that's another problem.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: You got to figure out. Now, why would they think
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: anybody would want this big hunk of chunk. Well, when
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they got rid of tokens, people started buying them. They
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: were put up for sale on eBay and people were
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: spending up to like four thousand dollars for one of
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: these tokens. Even metro cards. People are now selling metro cards,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: which you know aren't valid anymore, but they're going for
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: thirty five hundred. But I could see buying a Metro card.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I could see buying the token. It's a nice little
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it's a token. Both of them are like nice little souvenirs.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: You'll leave them on the coffee table there. It's kind
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of cute. But this big, fat, clunky machine, I don't know.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Anthony and Staten Island, Anthony, how you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: doing pretty good?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Mark? Just a quick science. The reason it feels like
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: ninety seven when it's eighty five is because your body
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: does not evaporate the perspiration when it's very humid.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Ah uh huh, what the hell are you talking about?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Say that again? What are you talking about? If it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: if it feels like ninety five, it's ninety five.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: No, when it's ninety five degrees, that's the air pemphasis
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: where your body, by evaporating perspiration, it cools you down.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: That's why they say, oh, in Las Vegas it's very dry.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: So the one hundred and twenty doesn't bother me because
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: by persperation. The reason is by perspiration evaporation. And why
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: do you think the Arabs and the old Arab movies
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: on their horses were wearing all those clothing Because the
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: perspiration they perspired would saturate the clothing, and as the heat,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the dry heat would evaporate, the temperature underneath the clothing
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: was cooler tank to twenty degrees, cooler than any outside
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: air temperature. So the whole thing has to do with
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: evaporation absorbs heat.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Let's just think of it that way that's fascinating. I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: don't know what the hell you just said, but you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: sounded like you did. That's all. Come on, all right, No,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: it's a I was gonna say, I understand what you said,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: but I really don't know. But you know, that's a
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: good point. You watch those old Lawrence of Arabia movies
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: where you see those old Arabs riding the camel out
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in the desert where it's got to be two hundred degrees.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: They are all covered up with all kinds of crap there.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: But Las Vegas they don't want to admit they're going
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: through a heat wave right now. It's one hundred and twelve.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: One day it's one hundred and thirteen, the next date's
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen. They've been going through this for
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: like five days. They don't want to admit it's unbearable,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: so they keep giving you these explanations about there's no humidity,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and set your oven to four hundred degrees. There's no
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: humidity in that oven. Put your hand in there. It's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: still hot. Even with no humidity, it's still hot. Anyway,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: we've got time for one more called real fast Bill
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: in Connecticut. Bill, what do you want to say, Mark,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you're a smart guy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: They don't put those machines down the stairs. They put
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: them on a train and drive, but it's the station
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: push them out of the train onto the platformy.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I really, Oh that's pretty interesting. I never thought see,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I never thought about that they would fit through those
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: subway doors. Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, we got a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: lot coming up. The show's now nine to noon every day,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: three hours every day, three hours every day, nine to noon,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and then at noon it's Buck and Clay with a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: great show. And then the most listened to radio show
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: in America, Sean Hannity three o'clock, Jesse Kelly at six.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Are you listening to Jimmy Taylor every night? You should
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: be not only interesting, but what a funny show every
• 10:35
