0:00
Speaker 1: Fly from midtown Manhattan.
0:03
Speaker 2: Here comes the Mark Simone Show. On seven ten wo Onday,
0:11
Speaker 2: it's Saint Patrick's Day. Today it's the Irish super Bowl.
0:14
Speaker 2: Now normally here at iHeart, you're going way down there
0:17
Speaker 2: at that end. We got buffets everywhere, the greatest food
0:22
Speaker 2: except Saint Patrick's Day. It's enough with the soda bread
0:25
Speaker 2: and there's nothing good to eat down there today. So,
0:29
Speaker 2: but what's a wonderful day in New York. Don't drive
0:31
Speaker 2: into Manhattan today. Saint Patrick's Day parade takes place starting
0:34
Speaker 2: about eleven, goes to about three or four, and it's
0:39
Speaker 2: just a traffic nightmare. So stay out of Manhattan if
0:42
Speaker 2: you're driving. Hey, three days until spring. Spring begins Friday,
0:47
Speaker 2: actually eleven forty nine Thursday night, so Friday will be
0:52
Speaker 2: the first day of spring. That's great news. Now a
0:56
Speaker 2: lot to get to today. We'll get to Iran, a
0:58
Speaker 2: lot is developed, we'll get to Cuba, a lot is
1:01
Speaker 2: about to develop. We'll get to Saint Patrick's Day. We'll
1:04
Speaker 2: get to the Democrats their latest craziest nonsense they're proposing
1:07
Speaker 2: in the legislature. And Tom Holman's got a great idea.
1:13
Speaker 2: We'll get to that coming up Saint Patrick's state breakfast today.
1:17
Speaker 2: That's a big tradition, Gracie Mansion. The mayor, the mayor
1:21
Speaker 2: of course, making a fool out of himself this breakfast.
1:25
Speaker 2: You know, the mayor has to I mean, it's not funny.
1:30
Speaker 2: He's got to do something about the anti Semitism problem.
1:34
Speaker 2: He can't keep it under control. He can't stop with
1:36
Speaker 2: the anti Semitism. It's like deep inside him and his
1:39
Speaker 2: wife is just as bad. But speaking to the Irish
1:43
Speaker 2: former Irish president, and this is the Saint Patrick's day breakfast,
1:47
Speaker 2: starts talking about the genocide in Palestine, the genocide that
1:52
Speaker 2: took place, and everybody just looking at each other. They
1:56
Speaker 2: can't believe. He just can't control this nonsense that comes
2:00
Speaker 2: out of his mouth. So here's the good news. As
2:04
Speaker 2: far as Iran, Chuck Schumer would call it the endless war,
2:08
Speaker 2: it's day thirteen. Ukraine is fine with him. That's a
2:12
Speaker 2: year five, that's not endless, but day thirteen of this
2:15
Speaker 2: this is the endless war. But we took out last night,
2:20
Speaker 2: well we didn't do it, actually Israel did it. We
2:21
Speaker 2: took out two top leaders, the current leader of Iran,
2:25
Speaker 2: which was not the Iatola's son. Apparently he is either badly,
2:30
Speaker 2: badly wounded or dead. Nobody's sure about that, but he
2:34
Speaker 2: hasn't been leading it anyway. But the real leader of
2:36
Speaker 2: Iran was and the biggest enemy, United States was taken out,
2:41
Speaker 2: blown up, a bomb, hitting him right on the head.
2:44
Speaker 2: That was Israel that did that and took out another
2:46
Speaker 2: couple of leaders. So Iran without any leadership right now.
2:51
Speaker 2: Carg Island, which is very crucial to them, we've taken
2:54
Speaker 2: out everything on it. We left the oil there because
2:56
Speaker 2: it's their biggest oil refinery, it's the biggest storage center.
3:01
Speaker 2: We've taken that out. Endless war. I don't know you
3:04
Speaker 2: probably everybody thinks, I mean people that are in the
3:08
Speaker 2: know about this, Israel, United States, DC. I think you
3:12
Speaker 2: got about two weeks. More about two weeks. They'll start
3:15
Speaker 2: wrapping it up, maybe three weeks. They'll wrap it up
3:17
Speaker 2: in three weeks and that'll be the end of it.
3:20
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens, what kind of government comes
3:22
Speaker 2: in there, what kind of leadership. But imagine a free,
3:25
Speaker 2: liberated Iran that's no longer a terrorist state, no longer
3:30
Speaker 2: a brutal dictatorship. And then Cuba is expected to fall next.
3:34
Speaker 2: Cuba already has rioters on the street breaking into the
3:38
Speaker 2: communist headquarters buildings. You had a blackout last night, believed
3:43
Speaker 2: to be deliberate, the government turning off the power trying
3:46
Speaker 2: to control the rioting problem. Is like any socialist communist country,
3:53
Speaker 2: the people are starving while the leaders have everything. So
3:56
Speaker 2: you could have a blackout, but the leaders all have
3:59
Speaker 2: generators and power on and their lights are on and
4:02
Speaker 2: the rioters can see that, only making the mangreer. So
4:05
Speaker 2: expect Cuba to fall in the coming months. That could
4:09
Speaker 2: be another amazing development. Imagine that Iran free, Cuba, free,
4:14
Speaker 2: a democracy all over again. Cuba's not really a threat
4:18
Speaker 2: to us. Iran is. Iran's a threat to everybody sponsoring
4:21
Speaker 2: terrorism all over the world. So to eliminate that threat
4:26
Speaker 2: would be a major relief to the world. That people
4:28
Speaker 2: may not see that now. They might be yelling and
4:30
Speaker 2: screaming about how awful this is. But once it's done.
4:33
Speaker 2: That's the problem with the critics of Trump. They attack
4:35
Speaker 2: him like crazy over something and it looks bad. He
4:39
Speaker 2: can look like he doesn't know what he's doing. He
4:41
Speaker 2: can look like he's just flying by the seat of
4:43
Speaker 2: his pants. He can look like he's making it up
4:46
Speaker 2: as he goes along. That's actually not the case. He
4:48
Speaker 2: can just look like that. But then when it's over
4:50
Speaker 2: and it turns out it was great, everything worked out fine,
4:54
Speaker 2: and it turns out he was right, then they don't
4:56
Speaker 2: know what to do. You're seeing that right now. Yeah,
4:59
Speaker 2: these are critics, especially the Democrats, Schumer, Hillary Obama, for
5:06
Speaker 2: years years, all the video exists. You can see them
5:10
Speaker 2: yelling and screaming about we have to take out the Iatola,
5:12
Speaker 2: we have to get rid of the Iranian government. We
5:14
Speaker 2: have They all talked about doing it, even John Bolton.
5:18
Speaker 2: Nobody was more of a hawk on this than John Bolton.
5:20
Speaker 2: Now they're all critics. Now, it's the worst thing you
5:22
Speaker 2: can do. They couldn't stop saying they had to do it,
5:26
Speaker 2: and now it's the dumbest thing. It's the craziest thing.
5:29
Speaker 2: Why did he have to do this? You're the ones
5:32
Speaker 2: that have been saying it for thirty years now, the
5:34
Speaker 2: other line of attackers. He's betrayed his base, he's betrayed
5:37
Speaker 2: the Maga Bass. He doesn't betrayed anybody. If you check
5:41
Speaker 2: you again, I think they don't understand the internet. You
5:45
Speaker 2: can go back and look at videos of Donald Trump
5:48
Speaker 2: going back forty six years. For forty six years in interviews,
5:52
Speaker 2: he's been talking about getting rid of the Ayahtola, getting
5:55
Speaker 2: rid of this Iranian regime, wiping them out to remove them.
6:00
Speaker 2: He's been talking about it for forty six years. He's
6:02
Speaker 2: talked about it all the time. It's not it shouldn't
6:05
Speaker 2: be any shock to anybody. Susie Wilds, the chief of
6:08
Speaker 2: staff who everybody loves and respects, announced she has breast cancer.
6:12
Speaker 2: She'll continue to work though while she gets treatment. Treatment
6:16
Speaker 2: will be three days a week, but she'll continue to
6:19
Speaker 2: work as chief of staff. You know, got some good, strong,
6:23
Speaker 2: tough women in the White House. Caroline Levity, you remembers
6:26
Speaker 2: she had a baby and recently and took three days
6:29
Speaker 2: off and was back at work. Unlike Pete Boodhajeedge. Remember
6:33
Speaker 2: when he had a baby. And it's not like he
6:35
Speaker 2: actually gave birth. Remember when he had a baby. He
6:37
Speaker 2: was out for three four months, in the middle of
6:40
Speaker 2: the supply chain crisis, in the middle of the ports
6:43
Speaker 2: being clogged. He was out for months and months and months. Now,
6:47
Speaker 2: why do those isis?
6:50
Speaker 3: Not?
6:50
Speaker 2: Isis? Why do those ice agents wear masks because of
6:54
Speaker 2: the threats against them and their families. All the crazy
6:58
Speaker 2: protesters have been trying what they call docs them give
7:02
Speaker 2: out their address, put it up online, put it up
7:06
Speaker 2: on Twitter or actually Blue Sky wherever they are, and
7:10
Speaker 2: have their house surrounded by protesters, which does nothing except
7:13
Speaker 2: terrify their family, terrorize their wife and their kids. So
7:17
Speaker 2: that's why protesters, you know, do That's what protesters do.
7:23
Speaker 2: That's why the ICE agents are wearing masks. Now, Holman,
7:28
Speaker 2: Tom Holman thinks maybe you should just docks the protesters.
7:32
Speaker 2: You know, it's easy to do. You figure out who
7:34
Speaker 2: people are, you know, as long as you can photograph
7:36
Speaker 2: their face. There's so much software now where you can
7:39
Speaker 2: just put the face into Google reverse photo search of
7:43
Speaker 2: those kind of things, and it'll bring up who they are.
7:46
Speaker 2: It'll bring you to their Instagram, their Facebook page, their LinkedIn,
7:49
Speaker 2: stuff like that. So Holman wants to dox the protesters,
7:54
Speaker 2: reveal who they are and what are they doing out
7:56
Speaker 2: in the middle of the day protesting. Well, here's Holman
7:59
Speaker 2: with his idea.
8:00
Speaker 4: We're going to create a database those people that are
8:03
Speaker 4: arrested for interference in Peanut. So we're going to make
8:06
Speaker 4: them famous. We're going to put their face on TV.
8:09
Speaker 4: We're going to let their employers in their neighborhoods, in
8:12
Speaker 4: their schools know who these people are because, as you said,
8:15
Speaker 4: a lot of these people they say they're taking time
8:17
Speaker 4: off work to protest. I bet your lamer calling in sick.
8:20
Speaker 4: I bet your lobbler employers don't know what they're doing.
8:23
Speaker 2: That could be so fight fire with fire. There you go.
8:28
Speaker 2: You know in Hollywood, all they talk about is climate change,
8:30
Speaker 2: the environment. You got to use a paper straw, not
8:33
Speaker 2: a plastic straw, big on the environment, cleaning the environment. Well,
8:38
Speaker 2: everybody was stunned when they saw this photograph that came out.
8:42
Speaker 2: It's up on my Twitter if you want to see it.
8:45
Speaker 2: After the Oscars were over, after the auditorium emptied out,
8:50
Speaker 2: after it was totally empty, somebody way up high on
8:52
Speaker 2: the top took a photograph of all the empty seats
8:57
Speaker 2: and it was they were all just litter with garbage,
9:01
Speaker 2: with water bottles and paper and bags and wrappers. They
9:05
Speaker 2: just the whole floor was just filled with garbage thrown
9:09
Speaker 2: there by these Hollywood elitists who are lecturing you about
9:12
Speaker 2: climate change, clean the environment, protect the environment, and the
9:16
Speaker 2: worst case of littering. You can imagine. Take a look
9:19
Speaker 2: at the picture. It's on my Twitter if you want
9:22
Speaker 2: to see it. But I mean, listen, the hypocrisy Hollywood
9:26
Speaker 2: is famous for. The hypocrisy Democrats are famous for. But
9:31
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just shocking. Also, the elitist idea
9:36
Speaker 2: of we'll just throw this stuff all over the floor,
9:39
Speaker 2: let somebody else clean up. That's Hollywood for you. So hey.
9:44
Speaker 2: Speaking of democrats, the Democrats in the state legislature, they
9:48
Speaker 2: come up with one ridiculous, crazy idea after another. The
9:53
Speaker 2: latest is this new proposal. It's making its way through
9:57
Speaker 2: the legislature. Nobody could believe they would to actually attempt
10:00
Speaker 2: anything this crazy. It's called the what's it called? The
10:03
Speaker 2: Lights Out Proposal to massive statewide ban on lights on
10:11
Speaker 2: after eleven PM. Now inside, I guess you can keep
10:14
Speaker 2: your lights on. But the proposed bill, it's already making
10:17
Speaker 2: its way through Albany, the Dark Sky's Protection Act, would
10:21
Speaker 2: regulate outdoor lighting. In other words, you have a light
10:24
Speaker 2: on your building, or a floodlight, or lights around your house,
10:27
Speaker 2: they all have to be out at eleven PM. You
10:30
Speaker 2: have to turn them off. This would include residential floodlights,
10:35
Speaker 2: building uplighting, commercial spotlights, and billboards. You have to shut
10:41
Speaker 2: everything off at eleven o'clock. The goal, they claim is
10:45
Speaker 2: to preserve and enhance the state's dark sky while promoting
10:49
Speaker 2: safety for people, birds and other wildlife. What does that
10:55
Speaker 2: even mean? Birds? I mean, if you walk around a
10:58
Speaker 2: building with lights on it, you see dead birds all
11:02
Speaker 2: around it that have crashed in. No, I've never seen that.
11:05
Speaker 2: And what birds are flying around at midnight? I really
11:08
Speaker 2: don't you ever see a bird at midnight? Never. It's
11:11
Speaker 2: all about conserving energy, reducing our carbon footprint. You know,
11:16
Speaker 2: it just never stops. First you had to switch to
11:19
Speaker 2: these LED lights because that conserves electricity and one bulb
11:22
Speaker 2: can last fifty billion years and it doesn't use any electrics.
11:25
Speaker 2: But now you've got to shut those off too. Another
11:29
Speaker 2: be exemptions obviously for emergency services, airports, construction sites. Times
11:37
Speaker 2: Square got an exemption. Okay, Seasonal decorative lights and small
11:42
Speaker 2: low wattage fixtures would also be exempt. Sports venues would
11:47
Speaker 2: be exempt. Can you imagine if they had to turn
11:48
Speaker 2: the lights off at eleven o'clock during a game. This
11:51
Speaker 2: is the Democrats proposing this absolutely preposterous ridiculous. The idea
11:57
Speaker 2: of government is fill the potholes, make the streets safe,
12:01
Speaker 2: run the police, run the fire department, that sort of stuff.
12:04
Speaker 2: Fixed the highways. It's not about regulating your life. It's
12:08
Speaker 2: not telling you what you're allowed to do in your house,
12:11
Speaker 2: what light bulb you're allowed to use, what lights you're
12:14
Speaker 2: going to have outside your house, what time you have
12:16
Speaker 2: to turn them off. This is not not the role
12:19
Speaker 2: of government. Absolutely ridiculous. Hey, speaking of the Oscars, we
12:23
Speaker 2: didn't get the ratings. Sht, I'll check on them. Oscar's
12:26
Speaker 2: getting a lot of criticism, a lot of criticism for
12:31
Speaker 2: what's his name, Avir Bardem is yelling about Palestine or
12:35
Speaker 2: whatever the hell he was yelling. Critics attacked him left
12:39
Speaker 2: and right. He's got a history of anti Israel stuff,
12:42
Speaker 2: and some even question why he was there. He had
12:44
Speaker 2: no business being there, not nominated for anything, but it
12:48
Speaker 2: was as one person road. One critic wrote, if the
12:51
Speaker 2: Oscars chose him anyway, it can only be described as
12:54
Speaker 2: open hunting season on Jews worldwide by the Oscars. Well, anyway,
13:00
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's day today, so the parade will be on.
13:03
Speaker 2: That'll be great. A lot of activity goes on all day. Now,
13:07
Speaker 2: you just remember the parade will just cross gridlock all
13:10
Speaker 2: over Manhattan in the middle of the day. But then
13:12
Speaker 2: later in the day, just remember, wherever you go, there's
13:17
Speaker 2: going to be a million drunken high school kids from
13:20
Speaker 2: all over the Tri state area that come in for
13:22
Speaker 2: this parade. There's going to be people throwing up all
13:25
Speaker 2: over the streets. That tends to happen, So just beware
13:29
Speaker 2: of that today or tonight if you're going out. Hey,
13:32
Speaker 2: speaking of crazy democrats, this mayor mom Donnie now wants
13:36
Speaker 2: to lower the speed limit to fifteen miles an hour
13:40
Speaker 2: in school zones. You can't drive fifteen miles an hour.
13:44
Speaker 2: It's impossible, it can't be done. Fifteen miles an hour.
13:49
Speaker 2: The current speed limit in New York is twenty five.
13:54
Speaker 2: I mean not that you can go twenty five too
13:55
Speaker 2: much traffic most of the time. But one reason you
13:58
Speaker 2: lower it too low is that way you can just
14:00
Speaker 2: put in those speed cameras and make a fortune giving
14:04
Speaker 2: out tickets. You just never stop with the tickets, So
14:08
Speaker 2: it's a way of just generating lots and lots and
14:10
Speaker 2: lots of revenue. Hey, there's a new book out if
14:13
Speaker 2: you're a big Apple fan. It's called The First fifty Years,
14:17
Speaker 2: Big collector's item. Yeah, it's right, Apple fifty years April first.
14:24
Speaker 2: This April first, there'll be the fiftieth anniversary of Apple.
14:27
Speaker 2: But the book takes you through the five decades, key
14:30
Speaker 2: interviews with everybody that helped shape Apple. Apple will be
14:35
Speaker 2: doing a lot of big fiftieth anniversary celebrations. Now fifty
14:38
Speaker 2: years ago, when was that in nineteen seventy six? What
14:42
Speaker 2: the hell did they do in nineteen seventy six? What
14:43
Speaker 2: did they make in nineteen seventy six. I never saw
14:47
Speaker 2: a computer in nineteen seventy six. Well, that's why the
14:49
Speaker 2: book will be interesting. I think I saw the first computers.
14:52
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, for people to use, like in
14:57
Speaker 2: an office or somewhere. But what was it. I think
15:00
Speaker 2: about eighty six, first time I saw computers in an
15:03
Speaker 2: office eighty six, So for ten years, what the hell
15:06
Speaker 2: were they doing? I don't know? And eighty six the
15:09
Speaker 2: computers were those what do you call those dos or whatever.
15:12
Speaker 2: It's just just text on a screen. There was no
15:15
Speaker 2: picture of any kind. But the book is coming out
15:18
Speaker 2: very expensive, but it'll be a great book. Hey, we'll
15:21
Speaker 2: take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two
15:24

Speaker 2: In fact, last week I stole more stuff from him
17:07
Speaker 2: than he stole.
17:08
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just he kind of I got soured on
17:14
Speaker 5: him when he just turned into the whole Curtis bashing thing,
17:17
Speaker 5: and that just really pissed me off.
17:18
Speaker 6: And I actually I really.
17:19
Speaker 5: Liked listening to Kelly. But I don't go out anymore.
17:22
Speaker 2: You know, the other station's good, but remember this is iHeart.

Speaker 2: This is a what do you do?
18:04
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, I'm sorry. Nothing shady, nothing shady. I just
18:08
Speaker 5: can't say it on the radio because I work for
18:10
Speaker 5: a company and I have very different views from all
18:12
Speaker 5: these liberal you know, I just can't.
18:15
Speaker 2: Say all right, all right, Well, good call, thanks for Colin,
18:18
Speaker 2: keep listening, glad you found us. Let's go to Larry
18:22
Speaker 2: and Cranford. Larry, how you doing?
18:25
Speaker 1: Hey, Mark Coy? You know about how your barred them,
18:27
Speaker 1: doesn't that? Not No got a quarter of the people
18:31
Speaker 1: in that audience. He's screaming for free Palestine. They would
18:35
Speaker 1: have been thrown off the roof in Palestine to being LGBTQ.
18:40
Speaker 1: Could there could be a free Palestine. They have a
18:43
Speaker 1: nice piece of real estate there. It just can't be
18:45
Speaker 1: run by Humas who's screaming death to.
18:47
Speaker 2: Israel every two minutes. Yeah, well listen, that's they're just
18:52
Speaker 2: they are crazy. That's why they're actors. But thanks for Colin.
18:55
Speaker 2: Let's go to h Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent.
18:58
Speaker 3: How you doing, good morning, marcoing matter Mark, I believe
19:02
Speaker 3: with some of the gas price increases at the pump
19:04
Speaker 3: in New York all over the country, I actually think
19:07
Speaker 3: it's price gouger because please, somebody don't tell me that
19:13
Speaker 3: the gas in the storage tanks wasn't there before the
19:17
Speaker 3: start of the war three weeks ago. The fuel delivery
19:21
Speaker 3: trucks that bring the trucks to the gas station, they
19:23
Speaker 3: have to go to these massive tanks to fuel up.
19:26
Speaker 3: Why all those trucks were empty at the start. All
19:30
Speaker 3: those tanks were empty at the start of the war,
19:32
Speaker 3: and they had to bite the gas at top dollar prices.
19:36
Speaker 3: First off, that gas was refined six months ago. So
19:41
Speaker 3: me personally, I believe that there is price gouger going
19:44
Speaker 3: absolutely no.
19:44
Speaker 2: We have all the gas we need here, We've had
19:46
Speaker 2: it and we don't take it. I get no gas
19:49
Speaker 2: in this country. We get no gas from the Straits
19:51
Speaker 2: of Horror Moose. That's China, Iran that India gets.
19:55
Speaker 3: Another thing. This lights out law is crazy because I
19:59
Speaker 3: remember in the nineteen fifties when they passed the law
20:02
Speaker 3: that homeowners had to put on the outside entrance of
20:07
Speaker 3: their buildings lights because the theory was at the time
20:11
Speaker 3: that more lights on the street would reduce street crime.
20:16
Speaker 3: Adding the way it does. I mean, you're old enough
20:19
Speaker 3: to remember when there was the blackout in New York
20:22
Speaker 3: City and everything was out. It was kind of dangerous
20:26
Speaker 3: to go out on the street because it was like
20:29
Speaker 3: a doctor's that that was probably like from wwsome buggy days.
20:34
Speaker 3: So what are they talking about.
20:35
Speaker 2: It's just crazy. They're Democrats, They're crazy. They think it'll
20:38
Speaker 2: conserve energy. They want the lights, and maybe it's to
20:40
Speaker 2: help the criminals, maybe make it easier for them.
20:42
Speaker 6: Mark.
20:43
Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, I actually received a ticket
20:46
Speaker 3: because they said an inspector went around in the middle
20:50
Speaker 3: of the night and the lights are supposed to go
20:53
Speaker 3: off automatically at six o'clock in the morning and my
20:56
Speaker 3: lights went off of four o'clock. First thought, I thought
20:59
Speaker 3: it was a bunch of bs, because I said, what
21:02
Speaker 3: inspector is driving around at four o'clock? And it was
21:06
Speaker 3: a rust to make money.
21:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a New York City inspector. They're just there
21:10
Speaker 2: for revenue milon hour, Yeah, just to get revenue. Vincent,
21:15
Speaker 2: we got to go do the news. Thanks for calling,

Speaker 6: You're having a great show today and I'm happy to
22:03
Speaker 6: be on it.
22:04
Speaker 2: I forgot every where did you do Saint Patrick's Day?
22:07
Speaker 2: Every every year used to have a business.
22:09
Speaker 6: I always had some kind of goofy remote broadcast. When
22:13
Speaker 6: I was working with Todd we go out to Jersey
22:16
Speaker 6: somewhere Long Island and have you know, she Ley's shaken
22:20
Speaker 6: good time.
22:22
Speaker 2: So what'd you think of the Oscars?
22:25
Speaker 6: Well, they had some. You know, it's kind of weird
22:32
Speaker 6: because nobody that you know, us lay people, we had
22:36
Speaker 6: no idea what movies were, you know, what the who
22:39
Speaker 6: the stars were, what movies were. We knew a couple
22:42
Speaker 6: of them, but not that many. I mean, I thought
22:45
Speaker 6: it was Grath Michael Jordan was great for Sinners. And
22:50
Speaker 6: I felt bad for Diane Warren. You know her, You've
22:53
Speaker 6: known her for a long time, right, Yeah, she's a
22:57
Speaker 6: She's now a record holder. She had, She's got the
23:01
Speaker 6: longest Oscars losing streak. She's been nominated seventeen times and
23:08
Speaker 6: hasn't won one award yet.
23:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
23:12
Speaker 2: Well, listen, Susan Lucy had the same problem with those
23:14
Speaker 2: stupid Emmys, and she finally.
23:16
Speaker 6: One, but she Diane has written some of the greatest
23:20
Speaker 6: songs ever in the top forty era, and very nicely too,
23:25
Speaker 6: and so someday. I think she'll get on there. I
23:28
Speaker 6: think she'll win something. By the way, I got to
23:31
Speaker 6: a shout out to my Pali Mazilli and his wife Danny.
23:35
Speaker 6: They had moved to Florida a few years ago, and
23:39
Speaker 6: today they're selling their house and they're moving back to
23:44
Speaker 6: Westchester or Reenwich. I can't believe it. They're packing right now.
23:49
Speaker 2: And that's good to hear.
23:50
Speaker 3: Peter.
23:50
Speaker 2: There are now you go back and forth Florida, New York,
23:53
Speaker 2: but there are people moving back. They've had enough of Florida,
23:56
Speaker 2: aren't There are a few.
23:58
Speaker 6: Right well, you don't see that many. It's kind of
24:01
Speaker 6: it is kind of weird. I mean, especially if if
24:05
Speaker 6: you don't like snow. It's not a good idea. Know,
24:08
Speaker 6: they don't want to move back there, and Lee just
24:12
Speaker 6: couldn't take anymore. Danny could stay, but Lee wants to
24:15
Speaker 6: get the heck out of here. You know, he's going
24:17
Speaker 6: into the Mets Hall of Fame very soon.
24:20
Speaker 2: So hey talk about our friend Ernie Anastes who we lost.
24:27
Speaker 2: Funerals later today for Ernie Anastes.
24:30
Speaker 6: And you know he lived for a long time at
24:33
Speaker 6: a place you and I know pretty well, Westchester Country Club.
24:37
Speaker 6: And he lived right off the South Course for quite
24:41
Speaker 6: some time. He was such a gentleman and so nice
24:44
Speaker 6: to everybody. I was. I I've been on his show
24:48
Speaker 6: several times. When he had whatever he did, he'd called
24:55
Speaker 6: me and I remember I had to do my duty
25:02
Speaker 6: as a New York City morning man when he had
25:05
Speaker 6: that little faux paw. Remember when he was talking about
25:08
Speaker 6: the chicken.
25:14
Speaker 7: And the funny thing about it was he didn't even
25:17
Speaker 7: know that he put the f in where the p
25:21
Speaker 7: goes and he said it and he thought it was
25:25
Speaker 7: pretty fun Well, it takes a happy man, he thought.
25:29
Speaker 6: He said, pluck a chicken. And who who was the
25:33
Speaker 6: sidekick at the time. The funny thing about it was
25:36
Speaker 6: the look on her face. She froze. And I mean,
25:40
Speaker 6: there were so many memes offline with the third picture.
25:44
Speaker 6: And then he came back something somebody told him after
25:48
Speaker 6: they went into a commercial break and he had said that,
25:51
Speaker 6: and he says, oh my god, you know how he is.
25:54
Speaker 6: So he went back on I apologize somewhehow some a
26:00
Speaker 6: bad word managed to get on the air. I don't
26:02
Speaker 6: know where it came from. It was pretty funny, but
26:07
Speaker 6: that was That was probably the only time I've ever
26:10
Speaker 6: seen him, you know, mix up and a little bit
26:14
Speaker 6: a little worried about what happened. Yeah, pretty smooth operator,
26:18
Speaker 6: wasn't he.
26:19
Speaker 2: Yeah? I remember he called me that night. He goes,
26:21
Speaker 2: what do I do? He said, nothing, enjoy it, it'll
26:23
Speaker 2: go away.
26:24
Speaker 6: Yeah, let it go. You know, he's he had such
26:27
Speaker 6: a great track record. One mistake like that certainly didn't
26:30
Speaker 6: tarnish it.
26:31
Speaker 2: No. Hey, you know back in the good old days,
26:35
Speaker 2: you know, you come on the air every morning, you
26:36
Speaker 2: talk about something on TV last night that we all saw,
26:39
Speaker 2: everybody saw it. You can't do that anymore. There's fifteen
26:42
Speaker 2: million things on television, streaming everything. There's nothing that everybody
26:46
Speaker 2: watches anymore.
26:48
Speaker 6: You hit her on the head man. It's just even
26:52
Speaker 6: though the series that my wife watches, you know, like
26:57
Speaker 6: Yellow is Stone and all that, you see some people
27:00
Speaker 6: that's their life. They love those Oh please. You know,
27:04
Speaker 6: I would never dream of watching an episode without my
27:07
Speaker 6: husband with me or my wife. But then you run
27:10
Speaker 6: into people have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
27:14
Speaker 2: Even American IDOL, you know that used to be an
27:16
Speaker 2: a whole nation to watch that, the whole country'd be voting.
27:18
Speaker 2: Do you nowadays, so a lot of people don't even
27:21
Speaker 2: know town anymore.
27:23
Speaker 6: By the way, speaking of American idol, I got a
27:25
Speaker 6: buddy on there, a kid that I've followed his career
27:28
Speaker 6: for I don't know, maybe ten years now. His name
27:31
Speaker 6: is Jake Thistle. He was on last night. He did
27:35
Speaker 6: a Huet Lewis song called The Power of Love. Are
27:39
Speaker 6: you aware of Jake's adventure. No, he's twenty one years old.
27:45
Speaker 6: He's been singing since he was seven or eight years old,
27:48
Speaker 6: doing gigs. I mean the guy he knew. He was
27:52
Speaker 6: one of those people like you and me, we knew
27:54
Speaker 6: what we wanted to do, and this guy wants to
27:57
Speaker 6: be a singer, guitar player song. He's twenty one, he
28:02
Speaker 6: graduated from Rutgers and he's on idle and he's very popular.
28:08
Speaker 6: The girls loved this guy. Remember we used to do this.
28:13
Speaker 6: Todd and I used to do this Blightdale Children's Hospital
28:17
Speaker 6: show every year.
28:18
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:18
Speaker 6: Well, on our last show that we did from there
28:22
Speaker 6: back in well, Todd went with me. Then I was
28:25
Speaker 6: over at CBSFW. But back in twenty twenty two, Jake
28:29
Speaker 6: performed for the kids of Blightdale and I've known him
28:32
Speaker 6: ever since. Then the guy's great, you gotta see him.
28:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. So even nowadays, you know, you could be the
28:40
Speaker 2: biggest star in music, number one fifteen, number one records,
28:45
Speaker 2: and half the way doesn't know who you are anymore.
28:47
Speaker 2: People over forty don't know who you are. It's a
28:49
Speaker 2: string now.
28:54
Speaker 6: I think. I still try to stay up, but you know,
28:57
Speaker 6: obviously that's not the kind of music I'm playing now.
