  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, how you doing? Glad to talk to you.

  Speaker 4: So remember when they fired all those people for COVID,
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: that black lady on TV, she was a teacher and
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Kathy Hochul fired her. Bruce Blakeman should put her on
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: TV and everybody else who was fired and didn't get
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: their jobs back.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: All right. Yeah, that's a good point. She did, uh,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the handling of that whole pandemic. Although, uh, really it
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: was Cuomo at the time that was the governor, but, uh, well,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it was the Democrats. So, you know, yeah, so it
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't Hochul, but, uh, But thanks for calling. No matter
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: what you do, you could run a million commercials. Everybody always,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you know what you should have done? Why don't you
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: do this? You should have done this. You can't do everything.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You can't do everything. Hey, by the way, Blakeman fundraising
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: apparently is through the roof since the debate. We'll get
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to that coming up. Let's go to David in Queens. David,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark.
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: Mark, have you noticed these local politicians have altered their
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: method of dress? in order to appeal to the communists.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: For instance, State Senator John Liu goes walking around with
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: these Havana shirts on to different events that Cuomo used
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: to wear. And this Jumaane Williams wears these beads that
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: my grandmother used to wear when she came over for
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: Sunday dinner.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: I wonder if you noticed this, Mark.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some of them do do that. Yeah, you're right.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Cuomo did that. He wore, it was the shirt Fredo
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: wore in the Havana scene in The Godfather. It was
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the shirt Lalo Salamanca wore in Breaking Bad, that weird
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: summer shirt. Let's go to John in Hell's Kitchen. John,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Hello, Mark. How are you?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: I was wondering, since you're a guy that knows really
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: good restaurants, what would be the top five restaurants in
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: New York?
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, you can't do that. It's a hundred-way tie. There
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: are no top five. I mean, technically. Technically, the number
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: one would be per se, LaBernadine. Mazza, but you don't
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: want to eat there.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: What about one that would be reasonable? You don't have
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: to mortgage your left leg or something.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: There's a million great restaurants. Let's just look around. Let's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: look around this block where we are. Oh, up there,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: 7th Avenue, Trattoria dell'Arte. Very fine restaurant.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, okay. See, that's the one near Carnegie Hall.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Right across from Carnegie Hall. That's a great restaurant, Italian restaurant.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Okay, because I know you're always talking about restaurants and stuff, and.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Now that I'm getting older, I remember restaurants from, you know, Gino's.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Remember Gino's?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Gino's was okay. It was okay.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: You didn't like Gino's?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It was like a really old, old, old school Italian.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: You had to pay cash, right?
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the food was good, though.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: It was good. It was good. Trattoria Del Arte, right
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: up the block. It's much better.
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Much better. Much better. Let's go to Greg in Florida. Greg,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. How are you?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: All right, good.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Yesterday you said something about the kids being involved with
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: their phones and everything else and whatnot. Recently I saw
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a child psychologist on that. on TV and she was
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: all worried about scaring the children at Halloween and all
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: of this stuff. And then I thought about it and
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I said, you know, this all started with Dr. Spock
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: years ago. These kids are way, way, way too soft.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We grew up, you know, drinking water out of hoses,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: riding bikes without helmets. You know what I'm saying? This
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: is just, you know, coddling these kids.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Well, that's true. But remember when you were a kid,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: No helmet, drinking out of hoses. Your parents told you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you were soft. You hadn't been through the depression. You
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: didn't know what it was like. They were always doing that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So every generation, this generation when they get old will
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: think their kids are soft. Hey, by the way, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I have dry eye. So I go to the eye doctor.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Everybody has dry eye, you know, which means you got
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to put eye drops in all the time. You probably
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: had this. So I've been talking to all these eye doctors.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Apparently it's caused by the phone, by your iPhone. Because
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you're looking at your phone for many hours a day.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: And apparently when you don't look at the phone, you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: don't blink. You just stare at it and don't blink.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And not blinking causes the dry eye. So I've been
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: teaching myself when I look at the phone to keep
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: blinking all the time. Just blink a lot. So if
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you're always looking at your phone or computer screen, blink
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: every few seconds. Just blink a lot. It gets rid
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: of the dry eye. You'll save yourself a fortune on
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: all those eye drops. Let's go to Sandy in New Jersey. Sandy,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Fine.
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: How are you doing, Mark? Oh, I'm good.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I'm good. You've got to slow down a little. I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: still half asleep. I'm not used to being up this early,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: but go ahead.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: I know that you're kind of like, oh, go another hour. Anyway,
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: the reason I called is I was just reading in
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: the New York Post.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: You always talk this fast. It's very fast. How does
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: anybody keep up with you?
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: Okay, I'll slow down. I said I was just reading.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were just reading.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: I'm talking fast again?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: You're a little fast. Slow down a little.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know. I always talk fast.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: How many cups of coffee did you have today?
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: I've only started my first cup.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: Okay. Anyway, I said I was just reading in the
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: New York Post that I'm a registered voter in the
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: 17th District in New York State, Mike Lawler's district. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: apparently there was a meeting, like all the candidates did,
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: And Kay Conley was there. And she had agreed that
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: Kathy Hochul needs to go. Kay Conley is the Democratic candidate.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but you've got to remember, a lot of
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: these Democratic socialists, the real left-wingers, hate Hochul.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: They don't trust her.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, but I don't think Kay Conley is
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: a socialist. She's kind of like is keeping a low profile.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but the left-wing, the real Democrats hate
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul. They just think she's a bird brain.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so what do you think? You think Bruce Blakeman's
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: got a shot at it?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: No, I think he's got a big shot at it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to win. You see how much
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: better you sound slow?
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Well, I think I'm also a little nervous.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't be nervous. Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: But this is, like I said, I listen to you
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: every morning. And I just really like listening to your show.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: You're really great. And, you know, catch you on TV
• 6:46
  Speaker 7: when you do.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You got TV now. Look at this.
• 6:49
  Speaker 7: Wow. All right.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for calling. Call us again. Let's go to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Chris and Beth Page. Chris, how you doing? Hey, Mark.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Love your show.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Listen, all can decide. Say the Dems win the House, okay?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: And the Republicans retain the Senate, okay? And everyone's predicting
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: all they're going to do is just put Trump through impeachment.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: There's going to be all these hearings. But seriously, what
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: is their plan? Does anyone know to bring down gas prices?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And what are they going to do?
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Well, they don't want to bring it down. Democrats always
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: bring them up. They like to bring them up. In fact,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: if it were up to the Democrats, it would be
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: $ 10 a gallon. Because they want to push everybody to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: electric cars. They always get the gas prices as high
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: as they can get them.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Always.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: But they're running on affordability.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: They're running on affordability. I know.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: How are they going to make things more affordable?
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: They're not.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: They're not. It's the last thing they want to do. No,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: they never do that. I know. They'll run on whatever
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: sounds good. They run on whatever you want to hear.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And then when they get in office, they go right
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: back to the regular Democratic plan, which is green energy,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: get you to stop driving gas cars, get you to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: stop using gas.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Again, with Democrats, it's always $ 10 a gallon. That's always
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: their goal. Hey, coming up next, we have a great guest.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Anybody have any idea who it is? Do we have
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a guest? Oh, you're kidding. Oh, okay. See, it really
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: is a great guest. It's Howie Carr. Somebody canceled that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we were like scrambling for another guest. The great Howie
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Carr will be with us next on 710WOR.
