  Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Dr. Bob,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: a great surgeon in Long Island. Dr. Bob, how you doing?
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: I'm good, Mark. Mark, I can't let you corner the
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: market there. You know, we have Pastrami and Friends in Comac,
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: and we also have Lido Beach Deli. And Pastrami and
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Friends offers lean pastrami, but also juicy pastrami. But Juicy,
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: you better have your Lipitor or Crestor ready.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: It's okay, but it's not the Carnegie Deli.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but there's no congestion pricing, Mark.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: You've got plenty of expense going out to Long Island. Hey,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: you've got Ben's Deli, Ben's Kosher Deli, all over Long Island.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: It's okay.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: What do you mean it's okay? There's one in Bayside.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: There's one in Woodbury.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: They're good. They're all right. But these others are classic.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: They're similar to the city, but the city is special.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: I'll admit that.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Let me just point out something. They're not the same
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: as the city. I know you. Everybody in every suburb,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in the suburbs that take you to a restaurant, go,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: it's as good as anything in the city, isn't it? No,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: it's not even close.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: You've got to disjoint your jaw to get the sandwich
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: in your mouth.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: All right. You can handle it. You're a surgeon. It's
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: good for business.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Thanks, Mark.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Any suburb. Go visit anybody in any suburb. They'll take
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you to a restaurant. Tell the truth. It's as good
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: as anything in the city. No, it's not even close.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Then the other one they'll take. You know, people come
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: from the city to eat here. Yeah, if their car
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: broke down on the highway, maybe. No, they don't come
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: from the city to eat there. Let's go to Aaron
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in Brooklyn. Aaron, how are you doing?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Thank God I'm alive. Listen, first I want to tell
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: you this. This is not anti-Semitic. Not medic. It's medic. Anti-Semitic.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: And the kosher, what Ben's kosher deli may or may
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: not be kosher, and it's not the quality kosher that
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: would make it so. And once you're talking about that
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: sort of dairy cheesecake with meat, it can't possibly be kosher.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I'm calling the reason I'm calling it kosher.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Did anybody ever tell you you're a little annoying?
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Probably.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: The Carnegie never claims to be kosher. Oh, you're talking
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: about Ben's kosher deli.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Which may be. I don't know. I was the lone
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: holdout juror on a murder case roughly 40 years ago.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're the kind of troublemaker that would do that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Everybody wants to go home. This guy's got to annoy everybody.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: That's true. Why did you hold out?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I want things right.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I don't go along with the crowd.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I can tell. The crowd runs when they see you.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Don't worry. Anyway, you're a nice guy, Aaron, but don't
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: call again. No, I'm kidding. Call anytime. Let's go to
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Bill in Idaho. Bill, how you doing?
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mark.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's just me, but listening to the Democrats reminds
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: me of listening to the old pro wrestling fans.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: You remember pro wrestling?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: It used to be a staple of daytime TV, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: there were matches lost.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Daytime? Wait a minute. Pro wrestling was a staple of
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: daytime TV? How old are you?
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Old.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: You mean like with Dennis James and Gorgeous George? That
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff?
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Gorgeous George versus the Iron Sheik or Andre the Giant.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Andre the Giant? That's a million years ago. Yeah, but
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: here's the thing.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Housewives were the biggest fans, and you could not convince
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: them that it was fake.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the same thing with politics, you know, so.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: What do you think, this color TV, will it catch on?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Or will people stick with the black and white set?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, Trump the villain versus Chuckie Schumer, the good guy,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: All right, Bill, thanks for calling. Let's go see if
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: we can find a normal person here. Let's go to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Gracie in Rockland County. Gracie, how are you doing?
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Hi, how are you doing? Listen, affordability, affordability, the gas
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: is so much, the food is so much, yeah. But
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: maybe if you didn't go to Starbucks, and you didn't
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: pay $ 60 for a loaf of rye bread, put your
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: in order. Worry about if Iran gets the bomb and
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: we're blown away.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, let me go where I want to go. I'll
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: buy what I want to buy. I'll shop where I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: want to go.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Honey, you can afford it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I want to know. All right, stop yelling. She does
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: make a good point, though. There's a lot of these
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: people that complain about prices, and then they go to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Starbucks and pay $ 8 for coffee. Hey, walk down the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: hall here. We got six coffee machines in that kitchen.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It's free. I still see people coming in with the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Starbucks cup. Let's go to Jerry in New Brunswick. Jerry,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Good, Mark. Thanks for taking the call. You know, I
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: just wanted to ask you, when are the American people
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: going to wise up and realize that Islam is fundamentally
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: a political movement.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Not a religion?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Well, actually, it's both. For some people, it's a religion.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: There's a fanatical side to every religion. It happens. There's
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a fanatical bunch of Muslims. There's a bunch of religious Muslims.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: You can't overgeneralize.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: But how do you separate, Mark?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Well, you can tell. There's some very peaceful religious Muslims,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: and then there are the fanatical, lunatic, crazy Muslims. Again,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: there's like a fanatical side– A little small fanatical side
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: to every religion. One more. Let's go to George in
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Port Jefferson. George, how are you doing?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Mark. The Carnegie, it's nice to see
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: coming back. Maybe New York will come back.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: They never left. New York is here.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I've worked at a place I'm sure
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you know, a very famous place. I worked at the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: brasserie in the Seagram's building.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: 52nd and Park. Right. Open all night, 24 hours. We
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: used to go there at 4 in the morning.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I worked a night shift, and when the bars closed,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: every celebrity who would come.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: We used to go there every night at 4 a.m.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and leave at 7.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Right, and I used to see Clyde Frazier come with
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: his fur coat, and Joe Namath came. They were comparing coats.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It was a great experience.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: The greatest place, and you had to come down a
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: little staircase to get in.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Right, and everybody saw you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Door open, everybody watched the staircase to see who was
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: coming in.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Mark, the onions, they were famous for their onion soup.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It was an urban legend that the onion soup was
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: sober you up. And you know what was in the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: onion soup, the secret that the chef would put in?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: What?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Lee and Perrin's Worcestershire sauce.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Well, great memories, George. Thanks for calling. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: ate there 7,000 times. I never had the onion soup.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: But anyway... Oh, when we come back, Ann Coulter will
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: be with us next. Lots to talk to her about.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to Ann Coulter next on 710WOR.
