• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark three hours now, our dear sweet governor

  Speaker 4: claims there's only four hundred illegals, which is a lie voted.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Now they're going to go after them because now they

  Speaker 1: want to vote. They had a motor vehicle that al
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a sudden. They put me on the voter roles. They
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: sent me a ballot. No, you're absolutely right. They got
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to stop this. It's I said this before in a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: football game. If there's any question, they stopped the game.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: They bring out the chains, they measure down to the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: micro inch. They go over the instant replay twenty seven
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: times from fifteen angles. If we can do that for football,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: why can't you do that for an election? Why can't
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you go back and examine the ballot, examine everything? It
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: only makes sense to just keep looking at everything over

  Speaker 5: they had to be laughing their heads off when they
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: saw the Varels take the fifth. When the Chinese commerce
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: leaders are the ones who did it. He took a

• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, Now I noticed that Steve Buzzadi does the show
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: on Friday when you're off. He the news. Who Steve Risotti?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: No? No, you mean Ken Risotto, Ken famous newsman?
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Ken Rosatto. He also does the news on
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: a competing network.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And he uses a different name.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what are you the CIA? What do you? What?
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: Are you?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Detective agency? Following people around? But what's your name?
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: Lou?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: From you? You know? I found out you call other
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: stations and you'd use a different name. I do not
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: do that, Mark, Yes you do. I think you've got
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to You're up to something. I can tell. Let's go
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to uh Tom in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Tom. How
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: I'm doing all right, Mark, Mark. Movie revenues are at
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: record breaking areas, Uh, primarily because of how much they
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: charge to get into the movies.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: That's a good yes, so much.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. Yeah. You know when you look
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: at Gone with the Wind was the biggest movie ever,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: only made like ten million dollars. But you're just for inflation.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It's like a billion dollars.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: But fark do they include them any of concession stands
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: with these revenues?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: No? No, okay, but thanks for it's a good point.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: He makes a very good point. Yeah. Well, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it used to be five dollars to go to the movies.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Now it's twenty five dollars. By the time you get
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: popcorn and a big candy bar, it's like one hundred
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and fifty bucks. It's like ridiculous. But I'll give them
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: credit as the theater business is dying. You've been to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: an AMC theater. It's amazing. These big, huge, comfortable recliner chairs,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: got a tray on either side of you for drinks,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: for food, they got like a full menu. I mean
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it's pretty good.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: On the other hand, I got that at home. You
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: gotta have your own recliner chair. You can have an
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: enormous screen, and you can order food from anywhere you want,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So who the hell needs to go to the movies?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: But of course, the only thing you can't get at home.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know where the hell you'd get one of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: those one foot by two foot candy bars, those big
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: candy bars. I don't know where you get those. So
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: he's a brand you ever heard of too? But he's right,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and it's it's affected the price. And when they say
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the Spider Man made three hundred million under a normal
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: price ticket, it would have only been one hundred million.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Let's go to hall in Freeport. Hell, how you doing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: I'm doing wonderful talking about diners. Back in the seventies,
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: we grew up in Queens and streaking was in. We
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: used to streak Queen's Boulevard.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Oh God, who the hell wants to see that? You streaking?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I don't want to see that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: We were streaking, and we streaked the Flagship Diner and
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: then put on our clothes and go in and have
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: cheeseburgers and it was great. And then ten years later
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: I'm in Manhattan. The guy goes you you you're a streaker.
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: He owned his own restaurant and he ordered a sign
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: from me. You like it?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: No, that's a hell of a story. But so this
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: was back you were like John Travolta in the Saturday
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Night Fever.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Ye going to the nightclubs at this goes and so
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: even more interesting, they put me on TV when the
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: dined on Cops. Hikey, No, Hickey Channel eleven.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Hickey.
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they auctioned off the diner, and I go to
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: diner auctions. I'm not there to buy equipment. I'm there
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: to meet business people that might need a sign for
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: their business.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: So anyway, well, this is exciting. It's a hell of
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a story. You might want to write a book. Don't
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: show it to anybody, but more, I gotta go. But anyway,
• 8:24
