  Speaker 2: Huh, don't be pulling my chain and chewing my shorts.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: That's the way we would have said it in the

• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Winter Olympic sport couldn't be any more boring, like some
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: of talk radio I've listened to lately, And so my
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: wife was asking me about it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I said, it's like bacchi.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: You know, my grandfather if he Dela Bianchino played Bacci
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: with the other gumbas in Kanarsi, you know, they'd be
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: smoking a crooked Italian cigars at theanobla, they be speaking
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: their dialect, cursing one another. It was boring with bachi.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It's boring with curling. Oh, we got to under this
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: boring repetition of talk radio. It's like God, be curious,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: challenge your doughty, ask questions. Don't be sequel fans, Tody's
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and lackeys, and allow for other points of you to
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: be hurt. That's the American way. Let's go to Chris,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: who's calling from Beth Page. Your turn to be heard
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: here seven to ten w or R Chris.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Hey, Curtis, I got an even money bet with a
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: friend that somehow Steve from Manhattan sneaks onto the air
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: in some way today anyhow. But I know you're good
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: at rooting him out anyhow, Curtis. The reason I called was,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I vote it for Trump. I like Trump, and I
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: disagree with you most of us, I'd say, like ninety
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: percent of us. Aren't these lackeys that everything he says.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: We think he's stupid a lot of stuff. We voted
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: for his policies. He's got great economic policies. He closed
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the border, gas is cheaper, you know, you go on
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: and on with his great policies. He's a great president,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: I think. But he's not a good human being. I'm sorry.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: I would never hang out with the guy. He sounds
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: like a more on half the time. But I like
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: his policies and that's what we vote.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Well, no, that's that's extraordinarily fair.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Chris, like wanting to take over Canada, wanting to take
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: over Greenland, Like, really, do you think if he had
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: said that, let's say, in the campaign against first Biden
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and then Harris the bifer kated campaign do you think
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: if he had said, oh, when I become president, we're
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: going to take over Canada, We're going to take over Greenland.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Do you think he would have won that an election?
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Not at all? Okill no, but that's but that's him,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: you know him art of the deal. He's hung out
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: with him, you know his deal. He does what he
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: can to get what he wants and then he goes
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: bats And that's you know, I do that, I know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: but but.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: You see, problem is now, if you believe that we
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: have to have balance in government and Republicans and I
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: am a Republican, we need to win the midterm elections,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: those kinds of attitudes are going to be hurtful to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the ability to maintain the majority. And you know, if
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the Democrats Hakeem Jeffries becomes a speaker he loves for that,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: you imagine the schmuck to putch CHUCKI Chi Schumer returning
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: his majority leader of the Senate. Oh my god, that
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: guy is an advertisement for term limits. And it's not
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: just him. They're Republicans senators there. What are they going
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to be one hundred years old until death? Do us
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: part term limits for everyone? Let's go if we can
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: to at this point, I believe it is Sophie who's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: calling from Connecticut. Your turn to be hurt here on
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: seven ten wor.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Sophie, good morning, Courtis we spoke years and years ago.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: I am also polish that you have Polish in Connecticut,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: as you know. The reason I'm calling. I listening to
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: what was happening the election and how wrong it was.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: And I'm very concerned about the power of w ABC
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: owner into this whole election and political issues. Even this morning.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I know sobe They bashed me all the time. It's
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: over three months. Dominic Carter wouldn't have a show unless
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: he spent half of it bashing me and blaming me
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: for Johann Mandami, and they.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Had no impact.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: First they supported Eric Adams right the Swagerman with no
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: plan to cook. Then they supported Andrew evilized Como Facha
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Brutta that he lost too.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So don't think they're all that powerful.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I gotta tell you just based on the people who
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: come up to me who identify themselves as WABC listeners,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: they say, I miss you on WABC.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, I get that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And since the mayor's race has ended, I listen less
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and less to WABC and tune into other stations. And
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: that's true. You look at the ratings they have plummeted
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: at WABC. Time spent listening is down noticeably. They run around,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: pat each other on the back so hard they'll have
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to go for a chiropractic adjustment.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: But it's not good talk radio, it really is.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: That's why my wife has finally said to me, your
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: job is to get back into action and that thing
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that you've done for thirty five years, talk radio with
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: everything else that I'll be doing because I have a
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: mission to save talk radio and make it come telling
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and interesting and non predictable. Why should I listen to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a show today what I know they're gonna say the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: same thing today that they said last week, that they're
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: gonna say next week, which is bored
