  Speaker 1: his podcas. Now back to the Monk Simone show on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: woor Hey, that's stock market up. Oil prices are dropping
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a little. Hey, we'll take some calls. I see a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: couple of open lines there. I don't usually see that.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Call me. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: ten is the number. Eight hundred three to two one
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Let's go to Rich Myrtle Beach. Rich,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Hey? Thanks Mark, hel The price of gas down here
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach is now well over four dollars. It's un American.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: With WTI and what our congress and centive people are doing.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: The amount of oil and gas produces this country is
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: zero reason it's Unamerican. Is zero reason our gas should
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: be anything other than two fifty to three dollars a gallon,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: even in a crisis like this. It's on boarders, treasons, born,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: it's out.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It's unnecessary, it's not there's trees and it is not necessary.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: No, we have more gas and we could ever use.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: There's absolutely no reason the gas prices should be up
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in America. But if that's the worldwide price. Technically, these
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: American producers can raise the price to match the world price.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: That's that's you know, WILLI Market's on americanunging.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It's not good. But if you, let's say the present
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: clamp down on and made him put the price back down,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: then what happens is they Tim Scott, let me finish,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: let me finish the sentence. If if the present were
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to order them put the price back down, and they
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: could easily, then the problem is they'll just not drill
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: as much. They'll cut down on drilling, they'll cut down
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in production. Right now, we're at fourteen million barrels a day.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: They'll cut back to like eight million barrels a day
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and just do that to raise the price up. Let's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing morning Mark?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: That's Mike.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: American Graffiti was on Tarno Classic Movies again last night,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: so I watched it but a million times, but got
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: me to think.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Jack, that was the movie with Wifeman Jack and they
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: were looking at this beautiful blonde and the thunderbird, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that was a young Suzanne Summers, right.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Suzanne Summers.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: It was a great great movie I've seen in a
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: million times, and you mentioned the wolf Man Jack. But
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: it got me to thinking when you were still up
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: coming up as a DJ and playing records. You know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: back in the day, there was cousin Brucy and Marie
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: de Kay and they had the stage names, you know, Dandy, Dan, Daniel.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Did you have a a You always Mark Simone or yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I was born with that name, and I always thought,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I never met anybody else with that name,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: so I thought it's kind of an odd name. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: guess I'll have to change my name. But from the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: time I got in the radio, nobody ever asked me
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to change my name. You know, it wasn't It wasn't
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: until it wasn't until the Internet was invented. You know
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: how you could google your name on the Internet. When
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it first came along search engines that I realized, there's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: plenty of people named Mark Simone. There's all over the place.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: There's a famous soccer star in Europe named that. There's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: some minister in the Midwest that has best selling books.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: There's a car dealer.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: And no relation to Nina Simo, and of course.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No but but you ever do that google your own name,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: just to see how many people I have.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: There's a couple of actors with there's a one or
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: two actors and my and uh so it's it's strange.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And it's actually somebody where I lived that's got the
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: same name, which is strange.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I keep it.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I was getting his mail for a while, which is
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: very odd.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Now sometimes I have a Google alert. You can go
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to Google and put your name in there on an alert.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: If your name is ever on the internet, it'll send
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you an alert. So sometimes I see my Google alerts
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and it says Mark Simone being honored with a parade thousands.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Then I realized it's that soccer guy in Europe. It's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: not me.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: But as long as it's not the obituary that comes through,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: that must be cool.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: That has actually happened.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I think one of them died and I saw it
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in the obituary. So all right.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: And did you have any did you have any of
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: those jingles? I remember Harry Harrison here and Harry Harrison,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: you know, did you have any of those?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I had plenty of those jingles. In fact, not that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: long ago, it was it ten now fifteen years ago.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: We did the Saturday night oldie show. I had all
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: those jingles in my name money. Yeah, those were great.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Those You should release them. You should release them as
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: sort of an album movie.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It would be awesome.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You got to be honest. I don't think there'd be
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a line around the block to get that. But all right,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Yeah that was Radio used to use
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: jingles all the time. I don't really use it anymore. Uh,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it just kind of went out of fashion. Some stations
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: would throw them in once in a while. It's kind
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of a nice nostalgic thing. And let's go to Let's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: go to Will in Connecticut. Will. How you doing?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mark?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Good?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, real quick. You were just saying about playing that
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: clip from Scott Besson not being able to pay their soldiers.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious what currency are they paying them?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're right, Ranian currency is pretty bad, but
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it's pretty worthless thanks to US shutting down their economy.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's killing their currency.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not paying them a dollars no, No, it's an Iranian.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the currency is there, but you're right,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: we've crushed their currency. It's a good point. So they're
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: running out of money. It's the straight of Horror Moose
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: being closed is great for us. We don't get any
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: oil out of there. We don't need it for anything.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: The entire Iranian economy depends on the Strait of Horn
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Moose going through there. As long as it's closed, they
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: have no economy. So it's killing them and they're not
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to make their payroll. So they're saying, well,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: if they don't pay the soldiers. I don't know how
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that works in Iran. You have a feeling if you're
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: an Iranian soldier in that Republican Guard or whatever that is,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that Revolutionary Guard, and if your paycheck doesn't come through,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling you can't just quit and walk away.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It's probably not the safest thing to do.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Let's go to is it, Joseph, whoever it is. Nope,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that's not good. Let's go to David in New Jersey. David,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Hey, I'm doing good. Minus theologies. I wanted it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know it's terrible, these allergies.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I wanted to politely ask. I'm going to
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: vote regardless in November. But I can appreciate that a
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: lot of people are very disillusioned with a lot of nonsense.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: In terms of Congressional responsibility, no promise is kept since
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: they got reelected or elected about a year and a
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: half ago. And I was just curious. Winning the hearts
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: and minds is never easy. I'm voting regardless, and as
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: a registered Democrat, I'll vote Republicans, so I at least
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: double my action. But in terms of getting out the
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: vote for people that are tired of I mean, Congress,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: let's face it, they're not really doing much of anything else.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: No, that's the problem. That's why you see. You know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: they always show you the poll Republican approval of Congress.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Republican approval. Oh, it's only forty two percent. They always
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: show you that. They never show you the other part
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of the poll. Approval for Democrats in Congress is like
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: fifteen percent. It's actually set a record. Democrats in Congress
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: approval rating is at the lowest in the history of polling.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: They forget to show you that part in the poll.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And you got these awful, awful people in Congress, all
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of them. You just got to throw them all out,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: one by one, anybody, it's been there over fifteen years.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Just throw them the hell out Chuck Schumer, the phoniest
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: guy in the world. Jilibrand seems better, but she just hides.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: You know, she never see her, you never hear from her.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: She's it's like she's in the witness Protection program. She's smart,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: she just hides. And both these the two of them,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: all they do is donor service. They just take care
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of the donors all day. Otherwise they get absolutely nothing done.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And the guys that they're all over television, Adam Schiff
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and those types, you know I'm talking the one's always
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: in the Trump Arrangement syndrome, just get absolutely nothing done.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Just talk, just do shows, looking for TV shows. Never
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: otherwise nothing gets done by them. Hey, when we come back,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Michael Goodwin, the greatest columnist in America. We'll talk to
• 8:09
