1:17
Speaker 2: the Mayor ol Race, Hey, there was a Mayor Old debate.
1:20
Speaker 2: Is this Saturday Night Live? Yeah, Saturday Night Live. Uh
1:24
Speaker 2: you know it was the first week on Saturday Night
1:25
Speaker 2: Live where the opening sketch the cold openers, they say
1:30
Speaker 2: not political It wasn't Trump bashing us the first time
1:32
Speaker 2: in years. They didn't do any Trump bashing on it.
1:35
Speaker 2: But then the there's only two things anybody watches, that
1:37
Speaker 2: opening sketch and then that fake newscast a weekend update.
1:42
Speaker 2: This is from weekend update.
1:43
Speaker 3: During the first New York mayoral debate Andrew Cuomo attacks
1:46
Speaker 3: are on mom Donnie's saying that he once gave the
1:50
Speaker 3: finger to the Columbus Day statue, whereas Cuomo snuck up
1:53
Speaker 3: behind the statue and grabbed about of hips.
1:57
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:57
Speaker 2: See that's the thing. Even these Democrats can't stay in Cuomo.
2:00
Speaker 2: Remember he lost by a lot. He lost the Democratic primary.
2:04
Speaker 2: Democrats rejected him in the primary. He's running as a
2:08
Speaker 2: third party candidate now although we say running, but he's
2:11
Speaker 2: not actively campaigning. There's been no there's no campaign headquarters, shet.
2:16
Speaker 2: He's taken like ten days off from the race. Now
2:19
Speaker 2: here's Cuomo right away.
2:20
Speaker 5: First one hundred days in office, five thousand new police officers,
2:24
Speaker 5: fifteen hundred in the subway. Number two, We're gonna start
2:28
Speaker 5: construction on eighty thousand new affordable units. The only way
2:31
Speaker 5: you're gonna get the rents down is by increasing the supply.
2:35
Speaker 5: That's what has happened. We have been super rests on
2:37
Speaker 5: short term before you start building. You can't no now
2:41
Speaker 5: without a gimmick that comes back and bite you in.
2:44
Speaker 2: That took us later on. Yeah, see, he got all
2:46
Speaker 2: kinds of plants. First hundred days, first one hundred day.
2:49
Speaker 2: One of the reasons is he tends to leave office
2:51
Speaker 2: early in disgrace. Last time hesing off. We gotta leave
2:54
Speaker 2: early in disgrace. So that's why the first hundred days
2:56
Speaker 2: is important. You know, they keep talking about this affordability problem,
2:59
Speaker 2: housing affordable. This is the problem. It's a crisis, big
3:02
Speaker 2: crisis affordability. Then why would you vote for the Democrats.
3:06
Speaker 2: They've been running everything in New York for fifteen years.
3:09
Speaker 2: The mayor, the governor, the legislature of the city council,
3:12
Speaker 2: everything is Democrat. If they've created such a crisis, switch parties.
3:17
Speaker 2: That's enough. President Trump, I think.
3:20
Speaker 4: It's a joke. I looked at the people.
3:22
Speaker 6: They're not representative of this kunjaint.
3:24
Speaker 2: Oh he's talking about the No King's rally. I think
3:26
Speaker 2: it's a joke. I looked at the people.
3:27
Speaker 7: They're not representative of this kunjact.
3:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was mostly senior citizens. It's the people in
3:34
Speaker 2: the nursing homes that survived Cuomo. They were the ones
3:36
Speaker 2: out there with no kings stuff. Trump is not a
3:41
Speaker 2: Curtis fan. He does not like Curtis. But remember on
3:45
Speaker 2: the radio for years, Remember Curtis had like the number
3:47
Speaker 2: one morning show for twenty years and he was bashing
3:50
Speaker 2: Trump all the time, and Trump was listing. So he
3:54
Speaker 2: hasn't forgotten that this is Trump on Sleewey Am.
3:56
Speaker 6: I a big fan. This isn't exactly idea where he
3:59
Speaker 6: wants to make Gracie Mansion a home for the cats.
4:03
Speaker 6: You know, Gracie Mansion is a magnificent home of Fiorello
4:07
Speaker 6: LaGuardia and the great Mayor's Rudy Julian. Yeah, Rudy Giuliani
4:11
Speaker 6: was the greatest mayor in the history of New York.
4:15
Speaker 2: Well, if that's the case, Rudy is telling everybody to
4:17
Speaker 2: vote for Curtis. Rudy is saying the Curtis will keep
4:21
Speaker 2: going what he started. Rudy Giuliani has a one thousand
4:25
Speaker 2: percent endorsed Curtis. So now, as far as sending the
4:30
Speaker 2: National Guard or troops into cities into states, why that's awful.
4:34
Speaker 2: It's unheard of Trump talking about using the Insurrection Act.
4:38
Speaker 2: Why that's unheard of. That's ridiculous, that's unlawful. Well, if
4:42
Speaker 2: you check the record, it's done all the time. Every
4:46
Speaker 2: president has sent troops into cities and states. Every president
4:49
Speaker 2: has used the Insurrection Act. It's done all the time.
4:54
Speaker 2: You could just google it. How many president Google how
4:56
Speaker 2: many presidents have used the Insurrection Act. You'll get hundreds
4:59
Speaker 2: of hundreds of answers. How many times is a president
5:02
Speaker 2: send troops into a city or a state? You'll get
5:05
Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. You know, when Kennedy wanted it,
5:09
Speaker 2: was having trouble with these schools in the South. They
5:11
Speaker 2: wouldn't let black students in. Even the Southern governors would
5:15
Speaker 2: stand in the doorways to block it. When Kennedy was
5:18
Speaker 2: fighting that, at one point he had to send seventy
5:21
Speaker 2: five thousand troops into the Southern States military to get
5:27
Speaker 2: that done. So it's done all the time. You can
5:30
Speaker 2: find almost every president in a riot in all sorts
5:33
Speaker 2: of situations. You remember the George Floyd riots, for the
5:37
Speaker 2: troops were sent into many, many cities in those cases.
5:41
Speaker 2: Here's Trump on the insurrection Act.
5:43
Speaker 6: But don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. Fifty
5:48
Speaker 6: percent of the presidents almost have used that, and that's
5:52
Speaker 6: unquestioned power. I choose not to. I'd rather do this,
5:56
Speaker 6: but I'm met constantly by fake politicians, politicians that think
6:03
Speaker 6: that you know, it's not like part of the radical
6:06
Speaker 6: left movement to have safety. These cities have to be safe.
6:12
Speaker 6: Are cities that are Democrat run exclusively? Just about our
6:17
Speaker 6: unsafe cities.
6:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see no Kings. I think they enjoyed themselves.
6:24
Speaker 2: They get to give them something to do. These angry,
6:27
Speaker 2: crazy left wingers, mostly senior citizens. They were out there
6:29
Speaker 2: yelling and screaming and chanting. Maybe you should every week.
6:32
Speaker 2: Let me give them something to do every week. Set
6:35
Speaker 2: up like a No King's field where they can go
6:37
Speaker 2: do this every week. They did it all over the place.
6:40
Speaker 2: If you were out in the suburbs, you'd see it
6:41
Speaker 2: in your town. Connecticut. There was a No King's rally
6:45
Speaker 2: in Greenwich, Connecticut, where the governor himself Ned Lamont, left
6:48
Speaker 2: wing Democrat, although very often a common sense Democrat, but
6:52
Speaker 2: there he was leading the No Kings march. It was
6:57
Speaker 2: quite something. It must have been thirty people, forty people.
7:01
Speaker 2: It was quite a march right in front of Restoration
7:05
Speaker 2: Hardware They're rh store. Lasted a couple hours, then they
7:09
Speaker 2: went home. Hey, you know Twitter, of course, you know
7:13
Speaker 2: Twitter x. When Elon Musk bought it and he took
7:18
Speaker 2: away the censorship. Under the old owners, conservatives were getting censored.
7:25
Speaker 2: They would what they call shadow ban you. They make
7:27
Speaker 2: sure nobody saw your feed. I had that happened to me.
7:30
Speaker 2: Everybody had it happened to them. And then there was
7:32
Speaker 2: out and out censorship where they removed people's accounts. The
7:35
Speaker 2: New York Post they took away their account because the
7:38
Speaker 2: Post published the story about Hunter's laptop. So they let
7:41
Speaker 2: mean think about this. This is hard to believe this
7:44
Speaker 2: kind of censorship could exist in America. They literally took
7:47
Speaker 2: down band, took away the New York Post Twitter account.
7:52
Speaker 2: Even President Trump, the actual president the United States, they
7:55
Speaker 2: took away his Twitter account. This unbelievable censorship. So Elon
7:59
Speaker 2: Musk bought it and took away the censorship, the bias
8:03
Speaker 2: and made it fair balanced. Well, this drove liberals nuts.
8:07
Speaker 2: They wanted no part of this, so they went and
8:11
Speaker 2: formed their own Twitter. It's called Blue Sky. Most of
8:13
Speaker 2: the left wing people, most of the liberals, most of
8:16
Speaker 2: the Democrats don't go on Twitter anymore. They go on
8:19
Speaker 2: Blue Sky. That's their version of Twitter, left wing Twitter.
8:22
Speaker 2: So this will be interesting to watch what happens here.
8:26
Speaker 2: President Trump this weekend, for the first time, opened an
8:29
Speaker 2: account on blue Sky and started tweeting on Blue Sky.
8:34
Speaker 2: He made his debut. He took some of his best
8:38
Speaker 2: memes and clips and put him into a montage. That
8:40
Speaker 2: was his opening. He wrote, what's up blue Sky. We
8:43
Speaker 2: thought you might have missed some of our greatest hits,
8:45
Speaker 2: so we put this together for you. Now this is
8:47
Speaker 2: taunting liberals. It'll be interesting to see what Blue Sky does.
8:51
Speaker 2: Do they ban him, do they remove his account? Do
8:54
Speaker 2: they shadow ban him, which means they'd leave you there,
8:56
Speaker 2: But they can fix the algorithm so your feet doesn't
9:00
Speaker 2: go to anybody, So keep an eye on that. James
9:04
Speaker 2: call me His defense will make their first motions today
9:09
Speaker 2: in court. Looks like with John Bolton, they absolutely have
9:12
Speaker 2: him convicted. If you look at all the evidence, it
9:14
Speaker 2: looks like there's no way out of this for Bolton.
9:17
Speaker 2: Looks like a very easy conviction. Call me, should be convicted,
9:22
Speaker 2: But you never know. It's a smaller charge. There may
9:25
Speaker 2: be more charges coming against call me h. He's a
9:30
Speaker 2: very bizarre guy. You know, he's a former Communist. You've
9:34
Speaker 2: seen that Rush Limbaugh clip that's going around the internet. Yeah,
9:37
Speaker 2: he was actual, he became he called himself a Republican.
9:41
Speaker 2: Now most people think he was never ever really a Republican.
9:44
Speaker 2: He just declared himself a Republican at one point, but
9:47
Speaker 2: that was so he could be in the Bush administration
9:50
Speaker 2: and it was more for you know, for his job
9:55
Speaker 2: prospects to become a Republican. At that time, Republicans were
9:59
Speaker 2: in power, so he declared himself for a Republican. But
10:02
Speaker 2: he admits he was actually an active communist to member
10:05
Speaker 2: the Communist Party. Same thing with the James Clapper, you know,
10:09
Speaker 2: the CIA director, And these are two guys that were
10:11
Speaker 2: responsible for all the dirty, sleazy stuff that went on
10:14
Speaker 2: in the Deep State. Clapper was an actual member of
10:17
Speaker 2: the Communist Party. He admits he voted for the Communist
10:20
Speaker 2: candidate for president, so Comby as well. They were both
10:23
Speaker 2: actual members of the Communist Party. We're just goes to
10:27
Speaker 2: show you we came a long way from Joe McCarthy
10:30
Speaker 2: used to be if you went to a meeting of
10:31
Speaker 2: the Communist Party, were banned from everything forever. Now you
10:35
Speaker 2: can be an actual registered Communist like Comy or Clapper,
10:39
Speaker 2: and then you become the FBI director of the CIA director.
10:42
Speaker 2: So things have definitely changed. Government shutdown continues. I just
10:46
Speaker 2: mentioned that because most people won't notice. The Democrats kept saying, well, right,
10:51
Speaker 2: we can't do anything until the No Kings March. Well
10:53
Speaker 2: they did the No Kings March. Let's see if they
10:56
Speaker 2: make any progress this week. The New York Jets, should
11:00
Speaker 2: they be allowed to continue to play? There's a debate
11:04
Speaker 2: going on. Should the New York Jets just stop playing?
11:08
Speaker 2: Give up? Nobody knows what to do. There's an actual movement.
11:12
Speaker 2: The problem is Woody Johnson is a very nice guy
11:15
Speaker 2: and does a lot of great things in the real world.
11:18
Speaker 2: But he bought the New York Jets years ago, and
11:20
Speaker 2: he is, without question. I think everybody agrees on this,
11:24
Speaker 2: the single worst owner in the history of sports. Nobody
11:28
Speaker 2: has been. There's never been an owner this bad. They
11:31
Speaker 2: just lose every game this season. They're zero to seven.
11:35
Speaker 2: There are people yelling and screaming in the sports world
11:38
Speaker 2: that there should be some mechanism to remove a team
11:42
Speaker 2: from its owner, to force an owner out if he
11:45
Speaker 2: really stinks as an owner, and it wouldn't be a
11:48
Speaker 2: bad thing for Woody Johnson. I think he bought the team.
11:50
Speaker 2: I think for I think it was six hundred or
11:54
Speaker 2: seven hundred million, and they say now the team is
11:59
Speaker 2: probably worth eight billion, possibly ten billion, So it'd be
12:03
Speaker 2: a great deal for him to get out. Were people
12:06
Speaker 2: were praying Trump would appoint him to something or make
12:09
Speaker 2: him an ambassador, just to get him the hell out
12:11
Speaker 2: of here. But that won't work either. The last time
12:13
Speaker 2: that happened, his son took over and the Sun was
12:15
Speaker 2: just as bad as an owner. But it's a total disaster,
12:18
Speaker 2: zero and seven. They lose every game, doesn't matter, he said, Well,
12:22
Speaker 2: maybe they should get some better players, doesn't matter. Whoever
12:25
Speaker 2: they get, they ruin them. Remember Aaron Rodgers or whoever
12:28
Speaker 2: they bring in, they ruin. It's it's just the worst
12:31
Speaker 2: owner ever, the worst team ever. Hey, George Santos, this
12:35
Speaker 2: was surprised to everybody. President Trump commuted his sentence. A
12:39
Speaker 2: lot of people were pressuring him to do it. Santos,
12:43
Speaker 2: he says, it's a nice guy. He's a cute guy Santos.
12:45
Speaker 2: He you know, he lied in the race. He lied
12:49
Speaker 2: about his resume, lied about everything. Well, so that Tim Waltz.
12:53
Speaker 2: But and the problem was in the congressional race he
12:57
Speaker 2: was in. He was up against a whole bunch of
12:58
Speaker 2: amateurs who there was no real opposition, and they forgot
13:02
Speaker 2: to do opposition research. They would have discovered these lives,
13:05
Speaker 2: but they didn't until he got elected. Then people started
13:09
Speaker 2: looking at him. But the bad part was he did
13:11
Speaker 2: stuff where he defrauded people to get money out of them.
13:17
Speaker 2: He did defraud people get money. So that's the criminal problem,
13:20
Speaker 2: and that's the criminal charge. But he went through hell
13:22
Speaker 2: in prison for a month or two, a couple of months,
13:25
Speaker 2: three months, i think, and apparently the warden headed in
13:28
Speaker 2: for him and was really rough on him. People were
13:31
Speaker 2: appealing to President Trump over and over, political people, congress people, friends.
13:37
Speaker 2: Finally Trump decided the guy was being treated in and
13:41
Speaker 2: humanely in prison, so commuted his sentence. Now, the other
13:44
Speaker 2: thing that got commuted, he did have to pay a
13:47
Speaker 2: six hundred thousand dollars fine that got commuted as well,
13:50
Speaker 2: So they have been a little over commuting there. But
13:54
Speaker 2: here's George Santas. He got out of prison, and.
13:57
Speaker 1: He's President Trump for and see and for having such
14:02
Speaker 1: an amazing will for second chances.
14:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
14:05
Speaker 1: So I've made some poor choices in my life, but
14:09
Speaker 1: nothing would warrant an insane, arbitrary sentence. But on top
14:13
Speaker 1: of that, a sentence that no one else would have gotten,
14:17
Speaker 1: a treatment that no one else would have gotten, forty
14:19
Speaker 1: one days in isolation in the shoe.
14:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, they put him in solitary for forty one days.
14:24
Speaker 1: I understand people want to make this into a He's
14:27
Speaker 1: getting away with it, right. I'm not getting away with it.
14:30
Speaker 1: I was the first person to ever go to federal
14:34
Speaker 1: prison for this type of civil FEC violation. These are
14:37
Speaker 1: usually solved in penalties, and I don't want to focus
14:41
Speaker 1: on trying to rehash the pass. I want to take
14:43
Speaker 1: this experience and do good and move on with the future.
14:46
Speaker 1: Repentance is an understatement. It's like I have been dealt
14:51
Speaker 1: a second chance.
14:52
Speaker 8: I have.
14:53
Speaker 1: I have a lot to prove to a lot of people,
14:56
Speaker 1: and I have to make sure President Trump understands that
14:58
Speaker 1: I am not going to this appoint.
15:01
Speaker 2: Now. He did, you know, the fraud people get a
15:04
Speaker 2: lot of money and he spent it on luxuries, on clothes,
15:08
Speaker 2: on cars, on watches, all this stuff. But he has
15:13
Speaker 2: been telling people after he got out of prison now
15:15
Speaker 2: that it changed everything as far as wealth goes. And
15:18
Speaker 2: he realized, you know, when you get out of prison,
15:21
Speaker 2: he said, just to have your own toilet, just to
15:23
Speaker 2: have your own bathroom, to be able to go to
15:25
Speaker 2: the bathroom in private and closed doors, to have your
15:27
Speaker 2: own shower and do it privately. And to have eat
15:31
Speaker 2: actual real food instead of the worst food in the world.
15:35
Speaker 2: To be able to, you know, go to bed when
15:37
Speaker 2: you want. And he said, they realize that's the real wealth.
15:42
Speaker 2: It changed everything. He no longer cares about the material
15:45
Speaker 2: luxuries that he understands what real wealth is have your family,
15:49
Speaker 2: your friends with you. So it's an interesting lesson for
15:52
Speaker 2: everybody to remember. Hey, we'll take some calls in a moment.
15:55
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
15:59

18:15
Speaker 2: have an audience every day. Mickey was there every day.
18:18
Speaker 8: I saw him in there a couple of times.
18:19
Speaker 9: Yeah, times I was there.
18:21
Speaker 2: We could never put him on the air because he.
18:23
Speaker 8: Was no.
18:26
Speaker 9: He was taste testing the products.
18:28
Speaker 2: Yes, thanks for calling. Yeah, I did my show there

Speaker 2: live every day for a year and people say, why
18:33
Speaker 2: don't you have Mickey Manlin, Why didn't you ever have
18:34
Speaker 2: Mickey May? It was a no shape to go on
18:38
Speaker 2: the air, but he was there every day with us,
18:40
Speaker 2: and it was always an inspiration. You know, you're on
18:42
Speaker 2: the air, but you can look over there and sitting
18:45
Speaker 2: there was Mickey Mantle. I mean his head was kind
18:48
Speaker 2: of slumped over, but it was Mickey Mantle.
18:50
Speaker 7: Mom.
18:50
Speaker 2: No less, Let's go to Rich and Myrtle Beach. Rich,
18:52
Speaker 2: how you doing?
18:54
Speaker 8: And thanks Mark? That brings that good memories. I was
18:56
Speaker 8: born in the Bronx. I remember seeing Mickey play and
18:58
Speaker 8: some of those terrible Yankee seams in the early seventies
19:01
Speaker 8: and late sixties. You know this, George Santo's pardon was
19:04
Speaker 8: the greatest fu to the Democrats, Bloominghroal Biden, all these
19:09
Speaker 8: Plagiariyes and lion Democrats and Liberals, and it was just
19:13
Speaker 8: a big, you know, f you to all those people.
19:15
Speaker 8: Trumpted an awesome thing by that. I couldn't be happier
19:17
Speaker 8: for that guy.
19:17
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, but you know.
19:19
Speaker 8: They've a't done the same thing, they'ven't done the exact
19:21
Speaker 8: same thing and got away with it.
19:22
Speaker 2: No, he does a lot of these FEUs to the liberals,
19:24
Speaker 2: but you got to be carey. You don't want to
19:25
Speaker 2: do too many of them. But what do I know?
19:27
Speaker 2: I mean, every time I tell him he's gone too far,
19:29
Speaker 2: as too much, he always turns out to be right
19:32
Speaker 2: in the end. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
19:34
Speaker 10: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara.
19:38
Speaker 10: As far as George Santo's getting out of the joint,
19:41
Speaker 10: the after forty days, he was in forty days in
19:45
Speaker 10: solitary confinement, as George Santos said it, the cell had
19:50
Speaker 10: bed bugs and lice and eating that crappy food. As
19:54
Speaker 10: you pointed out that I'm sure every cook and every
19:58
Speaker 10: handler in the kitchen, you know, spit in his food.
20:04
Speaker 10: So doing forty days in solitary confinement is like doing
20:08
Speaker 10: four months and better. And I believe he really got
20:13
Speaker 10: a good taste of, no pun intended, what it's like
20:17
Speaker 10: being in the joint.
20:19
Speaker 4: Mark. I'm no fan of Andrew Cuomo, but in response
20:24
Speaker 4: to what Zorn Mandani said at that stupid debate the
20:27
Speaker 4: other night, when he leans across the podium the table
20:32
Speaker 4: and goes, how many mosques have you visited? Andrew well, conversely, Zoren,
20:39
Speaker 4: how many synagogues have you gone into? Have you gone
20:42
Speaker 4: into the biggest synagogue in New York City down on
20:44
Speaker 4: the Eastern Parkway where the sap pot Vincent.
20:48
Speaker 2: That's a brilliant point. Why didn't Cuomo think of that?
20:50
Speaker 4: That's pro well because his brain is as you said,
20:53
Speaker 4: he's taken too many of those shots, and I think
20:56
Speaker 4: it's actually shrinking the size of his brain.
21:00
Speaker 2: Not only is uh we got the picture.
21:04
Speaker 4: And another thing I want to say. Saturday, I'm listening
21:07
Speaker 4: to one of the shows up the dial, a financial show,
21:12
Speaker 4: and this economist sometimes he's like, comes on your show
21:16
Speaker 4: and his sick liberal that was thrown off all the
21:19
Speaker 4: other shows at night, the over shows at night, the
21:22
Speaker 4: guys about seventy four years old from the Bronx, a
21:25
Speaker 4: Jewish liberal fins gets on the economist show. I'm not
21:31
Speaker 4: going to mention his name and start screaming everything in
21:34
Speaker 4: the world. Trump is this, that and the other, and
21:37
Speaker 4: then the last one. Trump weaponizes the Justice Department to
21:42
Speaker 4: go after his is these individuals, and this economist says,
21:47
Speaker 4: I'm against tariffs and I'm also against weaponizing the justice.
21:53
Speaker 2: But let me just explain that's not lawfair. Lawfairs. When
21:55
Speaker 2: you get in lawfairs, when you get yeah, lawfairs, when
21:59
Speaker 2: you're get in dieted four cities at the same time,
22:01
Speaker 2: that's one man.
22:02
Speaker 4: Can I say that he forgets to mention that all
22:05
Speaker 4: these companies and the countries are putting twenty seven thirty
22:10
Speaker 4: fifty percent tariffs on us. And also the fact that Vincent.
22:15
Speaker 2: We we gotta go though, because we got a great call.
22:17
Speaker 2: We got the greatest living DJ in the world waiting.
22:20

Speaker 2: Oh you mean in Florida. Yeah, yeah, I.
23:11
Speaker 7: Mean I don't live right down the street from him,
23:15
Speaker 7: but I'm close by. Let's put it that way. It's
23:17
Speaker 7: a different area, let's put it that way.
23:20
Speaker 2: And when you're near his house, tell us about the noise,
23:22
Speaker 2: the loud parties. Is that what's going on there?
23:25
Speaker 7: No, there's nothing going on. By the way, I thought
23:29
Speaker 7: about you the other night. I was my wife's birthday
23:32
Speaker 7: was on Saturday, and we went to eat probably a
23:37
Speaker 7: place you go to La Penguin.
23:40
Speaker 2: Penguin is Greenwich, right, that's correct.
23:45
Speaker 7: Yes, Well, we were going in there and I noticed
23:49
Speaker 7: the guy's sitting on the table next to me. He
23:52
Speaker 7: kept looking at me and he said, aren't you Scott Shannon.
23:55
Speaker 7: I said yeah, And I thought he might listen to
23:58
Speaker 7: me on the True Oldies chap or an old PLJ. Listen.
24:03
Speaker 7: I listened to you all the time on Mark some
24:05
Speaker 7: own show.
24:06
Speaker 2: Well, you see, that's our audience, that very upscale, well
24:10
Speaker 2: to do love Penguin type crowd. That's who listens to.
24:13
Speaker 7: That's amazing, I said, yeah, the fact I'm going to
24:17
Speaker 7: be on there coming Monday, I said, you know, we
24:22
Speaker 7: often discuss the power of the Swifties. Yeah, and you're
24:26
Speaker 7: always amazed at how popular she is and how many
24:30
Speaker 7: albums she sells. But now this is kind of weird.
24:34
Speaker 7: Did you hear about the museum in Germany? No, Well,
24:40
Speaker 7: there's a big, famous museum there. I don't know what
24:44
Speaker 7: the name of the place is. But they have a
24:46
Speaker 7: picture of the Shakespeare character Ophelia. And there's a song
24:53
Speaker 7: on her album, you know, the very popular Life of
24:57
Speaker 7: a Showgirl, and it's the first single, I believe, And
25:01
Speaker 7: that's all these Swifties are flocking to the museum to
25:07
Speaker 7: take pictures and to be there and look at Ophelia.
25:11
Speaker 2: Hey, how does that what? You say?
25:14
Speaker 8: No?
25:14
Speaker 7: And also she's doing she has a video of it
25:17
Speaker 7: that they've had like, I don't know, some like seventy
25:21
Speaker 7: million views already. In the video she becomes she plays Ophelia,
25:29
Speaker 7: and she's, you know, has some kind of white gown
25:32
Speaker 7: and she's in a bed of water lilies and all that.
25:35
Speaker 7: And I think the play the museum weiss modern. Do
25:39
Speaker 7: I say that.
25:40
Speaker 10: Right, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
25:42
Speaker 7: But just more more proof that these Swifties are such
25:47
Speaker 7: big fans.
25:48
Speaker 2: So how does this work? They make an album, there's
25:50
Speaker 2: twelve songs, and then they tell all the radio stations
25:53
Speaker 2: this will be the first single, this is the one
25:54
Speaker 2: we want you to play.
25:56
Speaker 7: That's how it works. However, believe it or not, I
25:59
Speaker 7: think he occupied the top ten places with singles from
26:04
Speaker 7: the album, just songs from the album.
26:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there have been cases where you guys, like
26:11
Speaker 2: a smart guy with great ears, like you'll hear another
26:14
Speaker 2: said wait a minute, this is the one and you'll
26:16
Speaker 2: play that and that'll be coming hit.
26:18
Speaker 7: Without the That happened has happened to me several times
26:21
Speaker 7: in my life. Want to involved the group that's been
26:24
Speaker 7: in the headlines lately. Kiss. Yeah, you know. I left
26:30
Speaker 7: the radio business for a short period back in the seventies.
26:33
Speaker 7: I was young and crazy and wanted to live in
26:36
Speaker 7: La I didn't know, I didn't understand what a hell hole.
26:42
Speaker 7: But I got a job at Casa Blanca Records, which
26:46
Speaker 7: had Kiss on their label. I happened. I knew the CEO,
26:51
Speaker 7: the owner, Neil Bogard, you know his name. They had
26:54
Speaker 7: a movie about him. That was a big flop I had.
26:57
Speaker 7: When Kiss first started. He won. All he wanted to
27:00
Speaker 7: do was get Kiss played on top forty radio. So
27:04
Speaker 7: I suggested that they record this song I thought to
27:07
Speaker 7: be cute. It was an oldie from the sixties done
27:11
Speaker 7: by maybe you remember Bobby Rydell and Kissing Time.
27:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bobby Rydell's still around, isn't he?
27:18
Speaker 7: No, he's passed. I'm sorry.
27:20
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago he was still around.
27:23
Speaker 7: But the group Kiss actually we had to record that
27:27
Speaker 7: because I said that, and Gene Simmons never let me
27:30
Speaker 7: forget that year the A hole made us record that song,
27:35
Speaker 7: Kissing Time. And I also actually toured with the band.
27:41
Speaker 7: He put me on the road with the band to
27:44
Speaker 7: go around the different cities and get them interviewed on
27:48
Speaker 7: the radio stations and possibly they would play their music
27:53
Speaker 7: and we were doing And you got to understand, Ace
27:56
Speaker 7: Frehley was a different kind of musician. He was, you know,
28:02
Speaker 7: he was a little whacky, but he a little bit
28:08
Speaker 7: more whacky, but he was a great guitar player. Ace
28:12
Speaker 7: Frayley was an awesome guitar player, and as you know,
28:16
Speaker 7: he just died at the age of seventy four, he
28:19
Speaker 7: fell at his home. He's got a home studio, and
28:23
Speaker 7: he got a brain bleed and they kept him alive
28:27
Speaker 7: like four or five weeks, and he finally passed away
28:31
Speaker 7: on Friday. But he was a very special guy. And
28:36
Speaker 7: the funny part about it is the guys who actually
28:39
Speaker 7: threw him out of the band all of a sudden
28:42
Speaker 7: love him. They put out these statements about Ace Frayley
28:46
Speaker 7: and Gene Simmons and the singer Paul Stanley actually run
28:51
Speaker 7: that thing. You know, that's the that's their baby. And
28:56
Speaker 7: if you were if you worked in the band, you
28:58
Speaker 7: had a salary, but they owned the band, so to speak.
29:02
Speaker 2: I didn't know. Now this year, you spent a year
29:05
Speaker 2: on the road with him, I imagine, do a concert,
29:07
Speaker 2: go right back to hotel, go right to sleep.
29:09
Speaker 4: Right.
29:09
Speaker 2: No, there were no parties nothing.
29:12
Speaker 7: They had parties every night. Don't remember that song rock
29:16
Speaker 7: and roll all night and party every day. That's kiss.
29:20
Speaker 7: And it's a funny thing about it too, that the
29:23
Speaker 7: Ace Ace and Peter Chris, the drummer, both had problems
29:30
Speaker 7: in certain areas. All right. Every every time I'd go
29:34
Speaker 7: out with Ace Frehley to the radio station, he always
29:38
Speaker 7: had a bottle of Blue Nun, remember that wine. He
29:43
Speaker 7: would carry the Blue Nun bottle with him everywhere he
29:47
Speaker 7: went and just sip off of it. And I remember
29:50
Speaker 7: we were we were doing an autograph party in Atlanta,
29:54
Speaker 7: Remember the Peaches record stores. They were huge, and we
30:00
Speaker 7: were doing a personal appearance. And back then, they wore
30:04
Speaker 7: all those Kiss outfits everywhere they went. That was what
30:08
Speaker 7: they did. So they get up and get They wanted
30:10
Speaker 7: to be famous and successful so bad. They had makeup
30:15
Speaker 7: artists and makeup do all their makeup and get in
30:17
Speaker 7: those big stupid boots and they would it would go
30:21
Speaker 7: to the station with me, and also I would take
30:24
Speaker 7: them to We set up this big, big promotion at
30:28
Speaker 7: the Peaches store. So there was probably five thousand kids
30:34
Speaker 7: in line to meet Kiss, and all of a sudden
30:37
Speaker 7: they got ready to leave. They had a couple of
30:40
Speaker 7: limos out front, and Jeane Simmons says, Hey, Scott, where
30:45
Speaker 7: the hell is Ace. I said, I don't know, I
30:48
Speaker 7: don't know where Ace is. Let me look around. So
30:50
Speaker 7: I found him. I came back out and he was
30:52
Speaker 7: talking to the manager of the Peaches store and they
30:56
Speaker 7: were sipping his Blue Nun bottle. Back in the store
31:00
Speaker 7: room and I came back. I said, Ace, it's time
31:03
Speaker 7: to go, and Jeane says, he's going to leave without
31:06
Speaker 7: you taking the limos. So sure enough, Simmons just took
31:11
Speaker 7: off and took the other two members, Peter and Paul,
31:16
Speaker 7: but left Ace in full uniform in the back room
31:19
Speaker 7: at the Peaches with me.
31:21
Speaker 2: Hard to hail a cab dressed.
31:23
Speaker 7: Like that, So I was going to get a cab.
31:26
Speaker 7: He's got those big booths on. He says, Nah, it's
31:29
Speaker 7: right down the street. Let's just walk down there. So
31:32
Speaker 7: we're in right on Peachtree Boulevard in Atlanta, walking down
31:37
Speaker 7: the street and some kids come by. They were at
31:41
Speaker 7: the I guess, at the thing and they had like
31:43
Speaker 7: this little Ford, I don't know what it was, a
31:47
Speaker 7: very small Ford Falcon or something like that, and say,
31:51
Speaker 7: you guys want to ride and he said, yeah, we'll
31:55
Speaker 7: go with you. And he had to put his friend
31:58
Speaker 7: in the back seat because Ace could and sit back
32:00
Speaker 7: there because they had the big boots on. So we're going.
32:03
Speaker 7: There's only two blocks down the road and the kid says, hey,
32:07
Speaker 7: you're funny.
32:08
Speaker 4: You dressed up like Ace Frayley to come to the
32:11
Speaker 4: Teacher Store.
32:12
Speaker 7: I said no, no, this is Ace, and the kid swat.
32:16
Speaker 7: He pulled the car over and he says, oh my god,
32:20
Speaker 7: Ace Frayley's in my car and he looks over him
32:22
Speaker 7: and they can't even talk at that point, and so
32:26
Speaker 7: finally they drop us off at the hotel. That was
32:29
Speaker 7: pretty funny. And you got to remember when when Kiss
32:33
Speaker 7: finally got fairly successful, they all four put out solo albums.
32:38
Speaker 7: That was Neil Bogart's idea. They put out solo albums
32:42
Speaker 7: and Kiss I mean and Ace had the only one
32:45
Speaker 7: that really sold. That was the biggest of all four.
32:48
Speaker 7: He had the biggest following and the only and the
32:51
Speaker 7: only big hit. You remember that song called back in
32:55
Speaker 7: the New York Group.
32:56
Speaker 2: I love that song. That's right, huge shit. Hey we
32:58
