  Speaker 2: Anyway, it's over at the Iron North Tavern.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Yesterday, well.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Day, uh huh.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And uh you know, I excused myself to go to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the little boys.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Room, uh huh.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And when I came back, he said, uh, did you
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: wash your hands?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You ever heard this?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: This is the hell of a story.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: All the edu did you was your hands?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: And I said, no, I just touched the cleanest part
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: of my body. Why would I wash my hands?
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: But it turns yeah, I'm sure it is clean. It's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: never been used. I'm sure it's very clean.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: That's true. And then the other thing is that I
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: was talking as urologists and he said, and this is
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the big moment, drum roll, you should wash your hands
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: when you go in to the little boys room before
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: because you're touching. So this is revolutionary.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't worry about it. Nobody else is going to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: touch it. What's the difference if it's sturdy or anyway,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: build a hell of a story. Thanks for slowing us
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: up here. Anyway, Let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I'm doing well.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Good morning Moore.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: You had mentioned that you had walked through the.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Old Carnegie Deli with Don Rickles. I mean, the question
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: is what was Don Rickles.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Like Don Rickles? And in real life, if anybody was around,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: he was Don Rickles, he'd insult them me and make
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: fun of him. But if nobody was around, he was
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the quietest, nicest gentle guy, very very cool, and he
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and his wife were like the most non show business
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: people ever. They were like two tourists in New York
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: going to Broadway shows. And that's one reason he and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Bob Newhart were so close. They were totally non show business.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: In real life. They were just like normal family men
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and that's why they got along so well. But as
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: soon as you put them on the radio, boom, it
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: was really kind of an act. I remember once walking
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: into it was Frank Sinatra's apartment and Rickles said to Tonio,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the guy who's let everybody in, And he said, is
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sure it's okay? You sure? It's okay. Are you sure?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: It was very nervous, and he said, no, no, go in.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Are you sure as youre it's okay, Yeah, go on in.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: As soon as he walked in and saw Sinatra, it
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was Rickles and he went Frank, snap out of it,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and it just started attacking him. He could just turn
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it on and off. It was amazing to watch. Let's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark? Yes, Mike, did you have a standing
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: order at the Carnegie anything that you preferred to order
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: on a regular basis?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I can't remember because on the menu the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: big sandwiches all had numbers. It was like a number twelve,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and number three and number six. It was. They were
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: best known for the pastromi, the coinbry, but I didn't
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: eat that too mutually. It wasn't the healthiest thing. But oh,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I actually remember it was turkey. It was like a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: turkey with Coleslaw, Russian dressing, that kind of stuff. Not bad.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: That's only like two thousand calories opposed to a postami,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: which is like seven thousand.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Well, the reason they gave you those the sandwiches were
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: like a foot and a half high. It was ridiculous.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: You couldn't eat it, you couldn't get in your mouth.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It made no sense. But the reason they did that,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Leo the owner, explained it to me once. He goes,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: We're basically giving you two sandwiches, and that way you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: can charge you for two sandwiches, even though you're really
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a long one. So it was a great idea. And
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: it was if you were a big VIP customer, if
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they really knew you and loved you, because everybody had
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: paper napkins. The waiter would give you, the host would
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: give you a linen napkin, a white linen.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Boy, how you knew you arrived.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then I remember at the funeral of Leo
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: stein Or, the owner, Don Hewitt was speaking, and Don
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Hewitt got up and he said, I've won fifteen Emmys,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I've worked with ten presidents, I've produced sixty minutes. He goes,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But and then he pulled out the one white linen
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: nap and he goes, this is the most important thing
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to me. This is when I knew I arrived when
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I got a white linen napkin there.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And I wanted to I just on another subject. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: just wanted to point out about these socialists, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: like to sing in Florida that woman beating Vinman. Yeah,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: you know, it's a very clever tactic. And you pointed
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: this out with Mandanni and Croomo. There's no difference between
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the two. If Mondannie gets in, yeah, okay, that's that's
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: that's cherry on the you know, that's the cherry on
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the Sunday. But if Cromo got and they wouldn't cry
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: the left wing because he's just as bad, if not worse,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: because it's more covert, and it's just saying that's what
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: they're doing. They're putting up one nut against a lesser nut.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: The lesser nut wins, loses, and the Republicans think, oh okay,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you know we got them right on the ropes. Now
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: we got the real ballunatic. And they have to be
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: careful because the left takes one victory as it doesn't
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: you know, they don't have to win everything. They can
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: win one little thing at a time and be very happy.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I remember when they worry about mom Donnie running things.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You had a mom Donni for years. Cuomo was mom Donnie.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Cuomo was the guy that gave us no bail. No jail.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Cuomo was the first guy that pushed the pieda terror attacks.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Everything mom Donni does, Cuomo did.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: He was.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: He closed Indian Point, he was the he closed prisons,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: He let prisoners out. He changed the parole board so
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they let everybody out, including forty three cop killers. Cuomo
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was the most left wing, woke governor. We survived him, well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: we got it. We got a crime wave out of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: him with the no bail, no jail.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: But uh well, no his you know, those things will
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: you know, they have repercussions for you know, for years.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, they don't end, you know, the day somebody,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: you know, you know, a Republican gets in God forbid
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: in New York. Yeah, Blakeman, you know, God bless him,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: you know, but you know he's not going to be
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: able to end these things on day one. It's going
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: to be very difficult. You know.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Blakeman's pretty good at turning hi oh.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, He's got the temerity to do it, no
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: doubt about it, just like Trump. But it's you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: we see with Trump, he's the president and he's it's
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: it's the tooth and nail every time he tries.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Blakeman did make a big difference in NWSA County. Stopped
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the tax increases, stopped all that stuff. Yes, all right, Michael,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Hey you're in. Are you in northern Florida?
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: No, I'm in just above Palm Beach. I'm about forty
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: minutes from north of Palm Beach and Lucy.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: When you got up that far away from Miami. There's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: still a good Cuban population around, isn't there.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: You know what, the population here has become very Caribbean
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and in the last few years. Yeah, but you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know where they stand as far as loading goes.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Well, you can count on the Cuban population not to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: vote for a socialist. They know what socialism is, so
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: So I'm putting putting out of eggs in that basket,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: and I think you're right.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: All right, Mike, great call is always, Thanks for calling.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Charlie and Queen's Charlie.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: How you doing, Hi, Mark, Thank you very much for
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: taking the call. I'm a retired US Navy Chief Petty
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Officers that served that served on the in my twenty
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: four year career from Vietnam all the way up until
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the Desert Storm. I have been on several aircraft carriers,
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: and let me tell your life on an aircraft carrier
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: compared to the other ships that escort us in the
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: in the battle group. We're talking about a destroyer, a cruiser,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: or supply ship. It's like being in the Hilton Hotel.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: There is nothing wrong with that ship. It's spotlessly, it's clean.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: The decks are swept, swapped, polished, the brass is polished.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: As far as food replenishment, every every every forty five minimum,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: you have a supply ship that pulls alongside of us
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: as we're underway, reloading fuel, soda, fruits, meats, letters. So
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: that story of the Abraham Lincoln being in such a
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: bay condition, you can't have that because you have a
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: daily inspection. You have a weekly quarters inspection. Your bunks
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: have to be made. So it's another another fake news
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: in order to bring down the quality of the United
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: States military by these radicals.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It's a way to attack Trump. This poor ship is
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: out there two hundred days, if you check, the average
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: time of ship is out there two hundred and twenty days.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: So exactly, let me tell Let me tell you I
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: was off the coast during the Vietnam days. We were
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: off the coast eight We were off the coast eight months.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: And then the next time when we were on Kennedy,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: off the coast of Lebanon, when you had that crazy
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Kadafi who sent the two jets out to get us,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: we were there. We were there at that time almost
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: six months. Shire six months.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's very good, very good information, Charlie,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: great call. Yeah, it's perfectly normal for an aircraft carrier
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to be out there that long. Hey, when we come back,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the brilliant business writer, economist nobody better on they trying
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: to convince it the economy as a mess. It's doing
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: really well, and he'll give us the facts. Coming up
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: next on seven to ten w R
