FULL SHOW: Super Bowl recap; Savannah Guthrie's mom. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Now seven Wor presents, no Mark Simon Show. Well, we
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we'll get to the super Bowl. We'll get to the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Guthrie kidnapping, bring all the latest, We'll get the Washington Post,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We'll get to voter ID, We'll get to the crazy Mayor.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We'll get to Galla. Maxwell testifying today, lots to talk about,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Like you, I probably I don't feel so great. Stomach full,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: stomach ache from last eating too much. Super Bowl party,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you know, yesterday, of course, super Bowl Sunday. Today they
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: call it miswork Monday. A lot of people call in
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: sick today or plan ahead and take the day off
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: because of the super Bowl party. So twenty six million,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: twenty six million people have taken the day off today.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe I should have too, but no, no, it's better
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: to work. Super Bowl was possibly the most boring Super
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Bowl game ever. It was just a total mis match.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: The season, it was a very weird season. Scheduling was
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: bad because the Patriots, they called it a soft schedule.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: They didn't get any really tough games. They got really
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: easy teams to play, got them to seventeen and three,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: which they probably didn't deserve. Then some weird things happened
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs where the teams that should have gone
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, Denver, the Bills, the Ramp the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: teams that should have gone because just the way the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: playoffs worked out, they somehow accidentally got eliminated. So you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: had the Patriots, who weren't really ready for a super
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Bowl against Seattle. So the Patriots not enough offense against
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the best defense in the world, and it was a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: kind of a dull game. Patriots are going to be great.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: They were in the Super Bowl a couple of years
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: too early. Otherwise it went pretty well. You know, the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: commercials were great, they were really well done, but they
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: didn't have the impact they usually have. A lot of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: people not that thrilled with the commercials. I think the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: reason is those commercials on the Super Bowl really dazzled you.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But now in the world of AI and Instagram and TikTok,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: you see so many unbelievable videos AI videos, so many
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: unbelievable videos every second, all day long, every day, that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: by the time you get to the Super Bowl, it's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: nothing I've seen better than that on TikTok all all week.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So that's going to be a problem. I'm I'm gonna
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: deal with that because those commercials are important. Bad Bunny,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it was pretty good. He was nothing offensive. Look great,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: move great. And I don't know what Ally's singing. It's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: certainly a snappy, bouncy Now you see a guy like
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that can't really be offensive. Nobody knows what the hell
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: he's saying. What the hell is this guy talking about?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Nobody knows. Well, if you speak Spanish, I guess you
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: know what the Helly's saying, but most of us don't.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We don't know what the hell he said, but I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: don't know. Look, hey, listen, musically, it's it's not Carnegie Hall,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it's the super Bowl. That's good enough for the super Bowl.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You know. The problem is, we'll talk about this later.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: It used to be a mainstream artist who everybody knew
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: would perform at the super Bowl. It'd be Billy Joel,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: it'd be the Rolling Stones, it'd be the most mainstream.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Everybody every age knew them, loved them. You can't do
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that anymore. We'll talk about this a little later. You
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: can't come up with any artist that everybody would like
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: or everybody would know. It's also splintered nowadays. Nancy Guthrie,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the Kidnapping, The Deadline is today at five o'clock for
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: six million dollars to be delivered in bitcoin. I don't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: know what's going to happen at five o'clock today. I'll
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just give you all the latest on it over the weekend.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And one reason you're not hearing much. You noticed the
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: first couple days you heard a lot and that goofy
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: local sheriff was having a press conference every hour. Every
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: two hours, there were these press conferences, the statements that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: were revealing stuff. All of a sudden, it went quiet
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the last four or five days. That's because the FEDS
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: took over the FBI, and the FEDS took over and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the FBI. Feds are very quiet. They don't reveal things,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: they keep it. They keep a lid on everything. So
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that's what's been going on for the last few days.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: What we can piece together is they believe, they have
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: reason to believe the kidnappers were in the house a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: long time, over a half hour. That's unusual. Now, a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: woman in that age who's not mobile, who can't walk
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: without a cane, it's very hard to move her, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that might have taken them while. But they believe they
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: were in the house doing something and that's why they've
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: been back in the house all weekend. They've been seen
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: coming in removing suitcases and bags full of stuff, some
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: sort of evidence. They've even gone through the septic tank
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: of the house. They believe that while the kidnappers are there,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: they might have disposed of evidence, flushed it down the toilet.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: That's what they were looking for. They've been back in
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the house looking for DNA. They don't believe that it's
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: possible for kidnappers to be in the house for over
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a half hour and not leave something, if not fingerprints, DNA,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: something some kind of clues. They've been up on the roof.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It's believed there might have been another camera up on
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the roof. But the other reason they were on the
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: roof is if you've seen the video where it shows
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the roof, it's bright white. It's really clean white the roof,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and neighbors have pointed out that when you live in
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that area, your roof gets very dirty, it gets grimy,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: it gets gray from the elements, and that because it
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: was so white, it was so new looking. They believe
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that she recently had a roof redone and they're looking
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: at that right now. They believe for various reasons that
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the kidnappers were familiar with this woman, familiar with the house,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and that could indicate friends, relatives, but more likely it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: could indicate workers, people who were recently in the house
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: doing work. If there's any kind of servants there, a housekeeper,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: an aid or something like that, obviously they've talked to them,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But if she recently had her roof redone, they'll be
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: talking to those workers. Anybody that's been in the house,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Y're familiar with the situation. So five o'clock today is
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the deadline. They want six million dollars in bitcoin. You've
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: seen the video where Savannah Guthrie and the family say,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: we just want our mother back, we want to celebrate
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: with her. We'll pay. And it's a very very very
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: carefully scripted statement that she made. The FBI has hostage negotiators,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: experts at how to talk to kidnappers, and they've worded
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that thing very carefully, with keywords, trigger words, things that
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: appeal in the right way to kidnappers. So that's why
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I was so carefully read. Other than that, we'll just see,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: we'll see. It turns out, we find out now when
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: her mother went missing and she wanted to go to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the police. Savannah Guthrie first called Senator Mark Kelly, the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Arizona Senator spoke to him first and asked him to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: call the police. Asked he's the senator from Arizona. Asked
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: him to call the authorities and get them going. So
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that's how it all started. FBI believes this is some
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: it's not. In other words, they've said it's not a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: traditional kidnapping. Something's not traditional here. A they were in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the house way too long. Also, ransom notes go to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the family. In this case, they're sending the ransom notes
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to the media. They're sending it to local TV stations.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That's very unusual. That's extremely unusual. They don't quite know
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: what that means. It might just mean they want it
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to go very public for some reason. Otherwise, why wouldn't
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you just send it to a family. Usually when a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: kidnapping happens, nobody hears about it until it's over because
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it's right to the family and they keep it quiet.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But the ransom notes are going to the media, extremely unusual,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: so not traditional. Also, they were in the house a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: very long time. The neighborhood where she lives, very very
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: close to the Mexican border. It's just a few miles away.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So they're also thinking that these kidnappers could have come
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: from Mexico or they could have gone to Mexico. In
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: one of the ransom demands, it said USD US dollars
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: instead of just six million dollars six million USD usd.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: It's usually a phrase, a term used by foreigners. Americans
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: don't usually use it. That's another reason they suspect Mexico. So, hey,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Gallaine Maxwell testifies today. She's going to do it from
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: jail by zoom. It's in front of the Congressional Committee.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: She's going to testify in the Epstein stuff. She has
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: already said she'll take the Fifth Amendment. Now her conviction,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: she's gotten appeal coming up. She goes back into a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: court to appeal her conviction, so that would justify the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment. You don't want to do anything to screw
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: up her upcoming appeal, so you won't hear much of anything.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You'll get to look at her, but don't expect much
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to come out of that. I've been reading through the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Epstein files all weekend. It's fascinating. You just google, just
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: google Epstein files. It'll take you to the Department of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Justice website where they have it's called they call it
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the Epstein Library. It has a search bar, so in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: there you type whatever name you want. It'll bring you
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: all the things that are in the Epstein files. Just
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: for the hell that I type my name. I came
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: up six times. Nothing bad, nothing bad, all harmless, innocent stuff.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I always kept my distance from Epstein, but he was
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: going to come to a luncheon where I was the MC.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So that's how one thing got in there. He was
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: friends with Jackie Martlin, Jackie the joke Man, emailing back
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and forth of them, so I got mentioned in one
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: of those emails. Nothing is totally harmless, innocent stuff, that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Who else is all through it? But
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Woody Allen is all through it now. Woody Allen continued,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You know, after Hollywood got done with him, he continued
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: to make movies. But to make those movies and they
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: were low budget movies. All the Woody Allen films, good films,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: but low budget. He had to go find wealthy people
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: to finance the movies outside of Hollywood, so Epstein was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: one of them. He got Epstein to finance the movies
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and Epstein would pay for his movies. Now. In exchange
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: for that, Woody Ellen has to keep showing up at
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Epstein's house whenever Epstein tells him, please come to my
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: dinner party. Please come to this party. I'm having lunch
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: with these people. Please come. So whenever Epstein had a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of CEOs or whoever he was trying to impress,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: he'd have Woody Allen come and sit with them at dinner.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: That was the price for the financing of his films.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Dick Cavitt shows up in the Epstein files. I guess
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Woody Allen's very close to Dick cat. Woody Allen must
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: have dragged him into this. And Cabot not as much
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: as what he owned, but he wanted some financing. He
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was looking to do a PBS special. You know when
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: you see those big PBS specials, somebody has to pay
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for them. PBS very rarely pays for him. Somebody has
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to finance him. So there was going to be an
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: American Master's profile Attic Cabot. But Cabot had to get
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the financing, so Epstein volunteered to pay it. It was
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty thousand dollars now in exchange for that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: You'll see in the emails. He wants Cabot to show
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: up at this lunch with a bunch of his friends.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: He wants Cabot to come to this party he's having.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: He wants Cabot to come to this dinner he's having.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So that's the price you pay the most embarrassing one
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of these college presidents. Epstein would make big donations to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the colleges, but some of the I don't want to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: mention names because some of them I know. But these
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: college presidents, they would be at his house every week
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and constantly calling him and coming to his house every
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: which way. You got some Steve Tish is in there.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: It doesn't look so good, Steve Tish. They're always talking
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: about women. And there's one email exchange he's trying to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: there's some young woman, not underage, but a younger woman,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: let's say, in her twenties. Tish is trying to invite
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: her to Boston for the weekend. And she said, you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I'm in school, I go to college. I can't come.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: So but I don't think it's not a problem for
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Steve Tish. Remember Bob Kraft with the with that little
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: strip mall massage parlor whatever.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: If that didn't get him in trouble with the NFL,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the Steve Tish thing won't. Otherwise it's pretty harmless. Hey,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: we have a new cardinal began this weekend. His first
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: service was this Sunday Friday. There was the big luncheon,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you know, to welcome the new cardinal. I noticed it
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was not like the other cardinals. It was not like
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Dolan O'Connor. I noticed the governor didn't come, the mayor
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: didn't come. A lot of people didn't come for the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: new cardinal, and a lot of people not crazy about
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: this new cardinal. He's sort of a left wing, woke cardinal.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: He doesn't sound great, you know, Dolan, besides being the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: most magnificent, wonderful guy you could ever know, and a
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: great leader, very inspirational. This guy Dolan incredible speaker, makes
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: amazing speeches. This guy doesn't sound so great. He's not
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the great speaker here here he is.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the neighborhood. I'm in a New York state of mind,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: concrete jungles where dreams are made of There's nothing you
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: can't do now you're in.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: New York, all right. Again, not the most impressive speaker
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in the world. But he's the new Cardinal. Ronald Hicks
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: is his name. Maybe he'll get better, Maybe he'll get better.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, we keep saying that about mom, Donnie,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: but it's I don't know. We'll get some I'm Donnie,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and why the snow didn't get picked up so fast?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: And got a whole lot more to get to. We'll
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: get to voter ID, we'll get to the Washington Post.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Big mess over there, everybody, you're getting laid off. The
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: CEO quit resigned. He didn't resign, he got fired. I'll
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: tell you why later, but he got fired. You know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: he pretended. They allowed him to pretend to quit, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: he put out one of those statements that I'd like
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to spend more time with this. I want to spend
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: more time with my family. Have you seen his family?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to spend more time with them. They always
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: give you that same crazy excuse. But oh wait, we
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: got a lot to get to, so we'll get back.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: When we'll get to the super Bowl, we'll go over

• 15:46
  Speaker 5: So some of my liberal friends are up in arms
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: about the Voter Registration Act and you have to show
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: ID and I said, you got to show an ID
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: to get into the CNN building. You gotta show an
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: ID to buy booze, buy cigarettes by Latto, by this
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: buy that. I had to show my driver's license to
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: pick up some fish supplies I pre ordered at the
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: local pet store. I mean, and these people just up
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: and arms. It's all about as much cheating as they
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: could possibly get away with them.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. Well, anyway, good luck tomorrow. You'll be fine.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But good luck with the surgery tomorrow. Let's go to
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Tom in Point Pleasant, Tom. How you doing.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good morning, Mark, Mark. I let ask you
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: a quick question about the Guthrie kidnapping. Last week, they
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: said that this Tomaso Sheiani was a prime suspect, and
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: since then there has been no word about him, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: he's not in any of the videos supporting his wife
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: and family.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Are you talking about the brother in law? Yes, yeah,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Some people got the idea. He didn't
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: like the way the brother in law looked in the video.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: They didn't like he didn't come out he was I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: don't know. They were suspicious of the brother in law
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: that he was somehow involved. I don't know. I mean
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: you got to figure the family knows him as well
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: as anybody, and they they are including him in the video.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, it's just it's a rumor going
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: around about the brother in law. Let's go to Mike
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and Florida. Mike, how you doing.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, you'll be happy to know.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: I'm on my way to go see Marty Supreme.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, you'll love that film. It's a great movie. Because
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you live in Florida, nothing else to do during the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: day except go to the movies and go to lunch.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm taken advantage of one of my DGA perks,
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: so I get a screening.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, Director's Guild of America. You get a discount. That's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the other thing in Florida. Everybody wants a discount on everything.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Well, that brings me to my point.
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: One of the things I'm gleaning gleaning from these Epstein
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: files is none of these rich people like.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: To reach into their own pockets.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: You mean to tell me that Big Cavic doesn't have
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: a half a million dollars in the bank that he
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: could finance his own, you know, his own project with well,
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: And there's a lot of stories like this.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: There there.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: No, Well, it's kind of a rule and show business.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: You don't finance your own projects. It's no. I like,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: if you're doing a Broadway show, if it's Andrew, Lloyd Webber, anybody,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they go out and they raise the money, and the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: one or two times I've seen the guy put up
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: his own money, it's like a jinx and the whole
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: thing is a disaster and you lose your money.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: So it just seems amazing, because.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: There's a lot of these stories seem to be they went.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: Visited him because they needed money.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: So so went to the you know the house way Allen.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: You know, No, it's just tradition, even if you're Scorsese,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: even if you're whoever you are, Wolfe of Wall Street.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: They couldn't get Hollywood money. So they went out and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: they found private financing. But you never financial own movie.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: It always it's like a curse against that. It always
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: leads to disaster. Maybe two or three times I've seen
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: somebody who thought this Broadway show, this movie, it's such
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a sure thing, it can't miss. I'll put up my
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: own money, and then all of a sudden, the bombs
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and you just don't ever do it. Let's go to
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, good luck rich tomorrow which
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: is surgery Mark. When you close your show Friday, you
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: talked about a great man in the Middle militariat under
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: the tutelage of Donald Trump catching capturing the SOB who
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: did the attack on Benghazi. I saw the hit live
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: that night on Italian TV, which was six hours ahead,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and they had a journalist that I would if you wanted,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I would when we were off Mike, I'll give you
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the name of the journalist and everything who was embedded,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and they blindfolded him, brought him to the access roads
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: to the ambassador's compound. They showed on film the terrorists
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: put in and raise a wire across the roads. Bob
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: wire is the roads. And I saw the initial beginning
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: of the attack. I saw it then when he Chris
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Stevens must have had a surrogate. He must had a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: corrupt individual embedded with him, because when they got out
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: of the first the ambassador's residents, they went to a
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: safe house, and as soon as they got to the
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: safe house, the terrorists were already there. I saw Tyrone
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Woods before he got whacked on the roof. They called
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: into sackcom for support. Obama never mentioned that because that
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: would have brought down his second election, and the Obama
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: administration told him that the jets the support were too
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: far away in Sicily and that was a bunch of crappic.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: There's a little more to it, but that's what you
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: watched on TV last night.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: No, because what happened was was I was trying to
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: get to the video to Sean Hannity and there must
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: have been a liberal news director on the Italian station.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: When Obama came out with that BS story about the cartoon,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: you couldn't find a video. They scrubbed it. Vincent, it
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: was all Mark. That guy was shut up from the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: very beginning.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Good stuff, Vincent, thanks for calling. Yeah, I told it
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: was a long story about BEng Ghazi.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: The problem is Obama. When they were working on what
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to do, it was like twenty guys in the situation
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: room and Obama left the room. It was about six
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock at night. He decided that was the end
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: of the workday and he went up to the residence.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: He didn't stay there until something happened, and he said
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to all twenty guys, do whatever you need to do
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: for them and left. It doesn't work that way. You
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: got to put one guy in charge, because when it's
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: twenty people, nobody wants to make the decision to send
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: any troops in. So he should have put some, he
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: should have stayed. But also just put one person in
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: charge and tell him it's your decision. But anyway, so
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: they've captured the Mastermind. He's in custody, in federal custody
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: in Washington. Hey, when we come back, Roger Friedman, the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Great Entertainment Reporter. All right, we'll go over the super
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Bowl last night, bad Bunny, the commercials, everything. We'll get
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: to all of that coming up next one, and we'll
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: get to Epstein with him and more coming up on
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: seven to ten WR. Mister New York. Here's more, Mark
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Simone on seven ten WR. Well, Roger Friedman, the Great
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Entertainment Reporter. His website showbiz for one one dot com.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: You should check it every day. There's always new stuff
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: up there. Showbiz four one one dot com. Roger Friedman,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I'm great, Good morning, How are you Mark?
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I'm good? Little stuffed over eating that super Bowl stuff
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: that's parties. I know, what do you think? The game
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: was pretty boring? But what'd you think of the rest
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: of it?
• 22:36
  Speaker 9: I thought the Bad Bunny was fabulous. I thought the
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: show was beautifully produced. I liked all the acts before that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: I thought Green Day was terrific and Brandy Carlisle and
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: I loved Coco Jones.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: You know, it was great. It's the toughest thing to
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: do national anthem. You know it was great. Was Charlie Pooth,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: He was really good.
• 22:57
  Speaker 9: Charliepooth was excellent. He was excellent. But and I love
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: to the he set up all that gospel choir.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: But what the hell was he wearing that beat up
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: leather jacket. He looked like a munks in the cab
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: driver on all in the family. What was he wearing?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: That's the Super Bowl? Put a nice jacket on.
• 23:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know. Somebody should have addressed him, but
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: he did. But musically it was very good, and he
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: said it was a tribute to Whitney Houston, who did
• 23:26
  Speaker 9: the best one of all.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: So h so that was very nice.
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: And then Bad Bunny with Lady Gaga was fabulous, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: Ricky Martin was a really nice nod. This Bad Bunny
• 23:38
  Speaker 9: is such a respecting, respectful guy. And he knows that
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: Ricky Martin is the biggest star in Puerto Rico. So
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: he had him on and h and his whole it
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: was g It was like g rated.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: It was so h wholesome.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: It was in Spanish. Who knows what he was saying.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: But you know what the problem, Well, we.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Can tell it. I know everyone complaining that they were
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: in subtitles.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Now here's the problem with bad Bunny. In today's world.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: This guy's the biggest star in the world, but half
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the audience doesn't know who the hell he is.
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: And you could have I don't know, Mark, he sold
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: like ten million albums last year.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. But if you go to people over
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: forty five, they don't know who he is. Fifty they
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: don't know who he is. You know, in the good old.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: Days forty six, well you know who he is.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: No, But in the good old days you have the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Rolling Stones. Everybody loved them, Billy Joel, everybody. There's no
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: such thing as a mainstream artist anymore. That every demo
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: everybody knows.
• 24:32
  Speaker 9: No, that's hard to do. That, that's definitely hard to do.
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: And you can't get those Listen, these people Bad Bunnies
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: in his I don't know thirties. You can't get these
• 24:44
  Speaker 9: eighty year old people to come out and perform at
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: the halftime. Yeah, but there's no use to start developing
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: younger acts.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: You know, like take where I'm sitting right now here
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: at iHeart, we got Z one hundred over there, we
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: got QWO one O four down there the place, Classic
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: rock we got one O five. There's no artist that
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: could be played on every station. Each one has their
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: own music. They're all separate musicow So.
• 25:06
  Speaker 9: We were growing up when we were growing up in
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: the radio, we would listen to WABC and they'd play
• 25:13
  Speaker 9: a country song, an R and B song, a rock song,
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: a pop song. It was all like but you know,
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: as you're right, it's splintered into all these different genres.
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: And it's sort of sad in a way because we
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: learned a lot about other music when we used to
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: listen to the radio, and now they can't do that.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: But if you go back to like the nineteen sixties
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Super Bowls halftime was like Andy Williams, can you imagine?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: You can't even picture that.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: But now they had al hurt in nineteen sixty seven,
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: they had al Hurt play the horn.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: He was a trumpet player from New Orleans. He had
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of hit singles.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Here's the other problem. The commercials, which were phenomenal, had
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: very little impact. I think is in today's world, there's
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a million videos, AI videos on TikTok, Instagram, you get it,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: thousands of the day. So after all of that, the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: commercials don't impression anymore.
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: The commercials have been diluted, There's no question about it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: And I really could not stand the one with Ben
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: Affleck sending up Goodwill Hunting, and it's really interesting because
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: he had all these like weird TV stars in it,
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: but he didn't have Mac Damon, who was in Goodwill
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: Hunting with him and they won the Oscar together.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: For writing the screenplay. I think Mac Damon.
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: Said I'll sit this one out because that was a
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: big mistake and it made Goodwill Hunting is a great movie,
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: and they made it seem silly, you know, And it's
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: enough with Ben Affleck and Duck and donuts.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Really enough.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, Roger Friedman, have you been reading through the Epstein files.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: I have been reading a lot of the Epstein.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Files there through there.
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: Well, there's nothing about Woody Allen, nothing bad. The thing
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: is that nothing bad.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: But you know that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: Jack Lynn, who's the French cultural minister, he's in it too.
• 27:14
  Speaker 9: What Jeffrey Epstein did, which was a terrible thing, as
• 27:18
  Speaker 9: it turns out, is that he was giving all these
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: people money and attention and they were taking it and
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: they didn't know what was going on. They didn't go
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: to the island, they didn't do any of that stuff.
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: They didn't know about the girls. But but Jeffrey Epstein
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: was offering them a chance. As we would say, some
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: of your listener listeners will know this word snoring. A
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: lot of these people were schnoring off of Jeffrey Epstein.
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: He was offering them plane rides and dinners and making
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: phone call influential phone calls for them, and everybody was
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: saying yes because they thought, why not, He's not asking
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: for anything in return. Well, so all he really wanted
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: was he was sort of he was. What he was
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: doing was paying everyone to be his influential friends.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the only he had do want. If
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: you're Woody Allen, you had he who would have a
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: dinner party with a bunch of CEOs. You had to
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: come to his dinner and sit there and impress everybody
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: that you were there. Uh, he had to come to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: a few lunches that kind of stuff.
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: Yo, I know what he pretty well, and I know, listen,
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: what do you and siny? They have no other fault
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: except that, like everybody in Hollywood, they.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Want a free dinner. Yeah, well, actually in Hollywood wants
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: a free dinner.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Apparently he's looking for financing for his movies. But you
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: know in every Broadway show, the way they raised money, Yeah,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: they raised money by getting these New Jersey housewives with
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: money to put in five hundred thousand seven. Oh my god.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And they have to pretend that they're the producers and
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: listen to these people.
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: That's I recently went through something like that, or I
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: listened to people doing that.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: So, but you know, but it's all these people.
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: Uh, there are a lot of people in there who
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: I think are actually kind of victims. Not the women.
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: I mean the women thing is serious with the women
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: who were trafficked, but these other people were sort of
• 29:06
  Speaker 9: victimized too because they didn't understand what Jeffrey Epstein was
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: doing to them.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: He was really evil.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, I made the Epstein files, did your congratulations
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: nothing bad, nothing bad, just harmless nothing bad.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: No?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Now was the other Was he just a fan?
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Did he listen to the Shadow?
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: No?
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: But apparently there was an email between him and Jackie
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Martley talking about listening to this show. And then there
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: was another one where I was going to come to
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: a lunch where I was the MC. But that's all, huh.
• 29:37
  Speaker 9: All he wanted to do is go to parties. Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah,
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: he wanted to go to parties day and night, and
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: he didn't care. He was using everyone in town. Howard Rubinstein,
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: who was like a famous publicist, you know, public relations guy,
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: was his publicist.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: So he was keeping his name of The New York
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Post but getting him into things that he wanted to
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: go to.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, we only got a minute left our talk show dying.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: They've just canceled a whole bunch of the top daytime
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: talk shows. Sherry Shepard, Kelly Clarkson, is that talk show?
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: We're coming to the end of this. We've had it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: We've been seeing them for forty years or fifty years.
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: And what's happened is with streaming and all the different things,
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: and you know, they're expensive to produce, and.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Now we're down to really.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: Just Jennifer Hudson has her show, Tameron Hall has a show,
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: and Drew Barrymore.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: We used to have, you.
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: Know, Phil Donahue and Oprah and Sally Jesse, Raphael. We
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: had tons and tons of these shows, but they're expensive
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: to produce, and the stations are finding that it's cheaper
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: just to put on the news all day, just like
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: see it en. They just put on the news and
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: they have, you know, a correspondence running around in Queens
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: telling you what's going on, and it doesn't cost anything.
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: It's not the same cost as flying in movie stars
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: and that kind of thing.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: So we are seeing sort of the decline of it.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Definitely long way from Merv Griffin and Mike Douglas, but.
• 31:02

• 32:17
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more coming. And Scott Shannon will be

  Speaker 1: Just get the podcast back right after the news here
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: on seven ten w.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: Mister New York.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone wr Well, we all a lot to get
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: to this hour. It was a pretty bad weekend weatherwise.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was probably the worst weekend of the winter,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: even worse than those big snowfall weekends that I mean
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: that it was so cold. You just Saturday, just people
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: just hibernated all day Friday night, Saturday Saturday. Although I
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: talked to people that went out, there were people out.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: There were people in restaurants and comedy clubs, in Broadway theaters.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: And it wasn't easy though. You know, it was actually
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: colder on Saturday in New York. It was colder than
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: in Antarctica. It's absolutely true. It was colder here than
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: it was there for the probably the first time ever.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: It was like fifteen below here and something like five
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: degrees Antarctica. So super Bowl last night, a lot of
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: people not coming to work today. They call it miswork Monday,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: twenty six million people either take the day off or
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: call in sick because of the super Bowl. There's been
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: talk of making it an actual holiday, a three day weekend,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: making it the Monday a holiday. Here's the problem, though,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: if you did it, your super Bowl is you know,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: right now in February. If you made this a holiday.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: This upcoming weekend, you got another holiday. You got President's Day.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Don't forget this weekend. You got a three day weekend,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: so you don't want to do two of those in
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: a row. The simple answer would be, moved the super
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Bowl to Saturday. It's just traditional on Sunday, but move
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: it to Saturday night. That's really the solution of that.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Restaurants would hate it. A lot of restaurants lose a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: lot of money because people stay home super Bowl parties,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff, or if they go out, it's
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: usually a sports place, not a regular restaurant. But that's
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, well that's better on Sunday. It's got to
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: be Super Bowl Sunday. Football's on Sunday. Super Bowl should
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: be on Sunday. So Bad Bunny was the halftime performer. Now,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: at the so many people did not want Bad Bunny,
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: or they thought he might get political, or they were
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: for one reason or another offended by his choice of
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Bad Bunny. That the alternative was Kid Rock. You can
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: watch him online. He did the alternative half point show,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Turning Point USA ran it with Kid Rock. Many people
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: turned off the super Bowl with Bad Bunny to go
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: over and watch Kid Rock. Well, it turns out it
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: was about six million. Numbers still coming in might hit
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: seven million, but six million. You got to figure how
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: many people watch the Super Bowl, Big super Bowl sixty million.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe ten percent of the audience turned it off and
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: went over to watch Kid Rock. It was otherwise a
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: dull game, a mismatch Seattle. I can't stand Seattle, but
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the best defense in football. I like the Patriots, but
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: this team is too new. They weren't ready for the
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. It was a slow, sluggish game, not a
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: lot of scoring. Thank god it finally ended. That will
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Seattle rains above the ball in the NFL. The Seahawks
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: super Bowl chickens for the second time.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Here you go. Now here's the other thing, Seattle Seahawks.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: They may not exist next year. The Seahawks may have
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: to move. You know, Seattle, Washington. It's a crazy left
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: wing state with a woke government. And they want to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: impose a tax on the football player, so big tax.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: They want to tax them like crazy, not just the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: team and the Seattle players, but any visiting team. So
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: if a team comes to play in Seattle, which of course
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: will happen all the time, the players will get taxed.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: They're going to hit them with this big, like ten
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: percent tax. Now, remember these guys are getting tens of
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars, so it's going to be a pretty
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: big tax. If they go through with this stupid tax,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I would imagine the Seahawks will have to move to
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: another city. It's ridiculous. Normally, in the past, if you
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: want to get a football team, you give them a
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: tax break because they bring in a ton of business revenue,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: all sorts of glory and help your city. This crazy
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: left wing today's Democrats, and the old Democrats knew better.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: But today's crazy Democrats think a billionaires, let's just tax
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: them businesses, let's tax them, and they just move, they leave,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: they flee. Your economy suffers, everything suffers, you lose jobs,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: you'll lose everything. Then you get states like Florida and Texas.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: If you're in Texas, they'll give you nothing but tax
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: breaks if you're a business. So every major business in
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the world moves to Texas and the economy is absolutely booming.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Same thing with Florida. And this is tradition, this is
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: the way they used to do everything. You know, these
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: rundown Democrat cities. They're in shambles. If you just called
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: up every business in the world say if you open
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: up here, we'll we'll give you, we'll make your tax
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: free for ten years, every business in the world would
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: rush to open there. Now, of course, you got mom
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Donnie here, who may may do this to New York.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: He's talking about imposing new taxes on businesses. Hey. By
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: the way, remember when Donald Trump tried to putting tariffs
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: on and the left wing went crazy, How tariffs is
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: going to ruin everything? Well, these are tariffs. Nobody puts
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: on more tariffs than the Democrats. They call it corporate tax,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: but it's tariffs. And if you got heavy, we have
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the highest corporate tax in the world right now. If
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: you say I'm gonna increase it ten percent, well that's
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: a tariff. That's a ten percent tariff. Here's mom Donnie.
• 38:13
  Speaker 10: So the way that this tax works is it applies
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: to any business doing business here. They could be located
• 38:17
  Speaker 10: in Miami, but if they're doing business in New York,
• 38:20
  Speaker 10: it applies to them. And the reason I believe everyone
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: will keep doing business here is our economy is so
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: large that if it was a country, it would rival
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: the top countries in the world.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: It don't count on it. You see that. Look at
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: the logic of this big, big tax. If you come
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: to New York and open a business, Now, if you're
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: somewhere else and you sell anything here, you're gonna get
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: this big, big tax. I mean, it's absolutely insane, Mom, Donnie.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: It turns out when it comes to the snow removal,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: it's getting better. That might be the weather more than anything,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: but it's a and he has picked up the garbage.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It was a little late, but most of the garbage
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: has gotten picked up. But you still got those snow banks.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: But what happened for two weeks that all that snow
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: was piled up and it was ridiculeds Well, it turns
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: out Mamdani failed to recruit enough emergency snow shovelers. This
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: is what you do in a storm like this. You
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: got a certain amount of shovelers, but when you're going
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: to get a blizzard like that, you need more. So
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: as a Tuesday, all he had were nineteen or eighteen hundred,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: eighteen hundred shovelers in comparison in previous administration when they
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: had this. What they do is they go out and
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: they hire shovelers, They put out ads, they blitze the
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: community with ads. In the past, for instance, twenty fifteen,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: we had sixty five hundred shovelers. Yeah, in fact, the
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: remember the blizzard back then, they had a big blizzard
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: thirty three inches. They had thirty five hundred shovelers at
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: one time, working sixty five hundred total. So we only
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: got eighteen hundred right now. Again, you got to go
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: out and you got a massive advertising to hire these shovelers,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: these laborers. According to the report or it's mom, Donnie,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: made a half hearted outreach effort too late, didn't do
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: enough and didn't get enough shovelers, and that was the
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: main problem with all of that. So hey, the Washington Post,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: this is a fascinating story. They're laying off hundreds and
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of people. They laid off about a
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: couple hundred before, now three hundred this past week. The
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: paper is losing a fortune. It's own by Jeff Bezos.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Of course, everybody is up in arms yelling and screaming
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: about these layoffs. But it was the staff of the
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Washington Post, the people running it, that caused the layoffs.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: They went crazy left wing, woke Trump bashing like crazy
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Trump derangements in Rome was way out. It was so
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: far to the left. There is an audience for that.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: But you're going to lose half the normal people. Half
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: of America will stop reading. So they basically got rid
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: of half their readers. And then when you get rid
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: of your readers, you get rid of half your revenue,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: half your income from the subscriptions and all that, and
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: you got to start laying off people. So they caused
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: the layoffs. They're yelling and screaming about it. Now, this
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: paper is such a mess that it loses one hundred
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: million a year. Do you know that it loses two
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: million dollars a week? At the end of every week,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: they're two million dollars in debt. Jeff Bezos owns it.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: So at the end of every week, Jeff Bezos has
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: to write a check for two million dollars just to
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: keep this thing going. Now, I know he's a zillionaire,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: he's worth hundreds of billions, but every week, at the
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: end of the week, he's got to write a check
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: for two million dollars just to keep it going. How
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: many years do you think he's going to keep that up.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: He's a business guy. He's a logical business guy. At
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: some point he's going to wonder why he used to
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: keep writing a check for two million every week to
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: get it to keep it going. So that's why all
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: the layoffs. Now you heard that the big CEO of
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the paper stepped down over the weekend. Apparently he was
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: told to get out. He was in the middle of
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: these layoffs. Last week, they laid off three hundred people.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: In the middle of that, the CEO was out at
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl walking around the red carpet, going to
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: all the parties. Bezos said, that's the final straw. He
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: just can't take this guy. He said, that's the last
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: straw with this guy. And he was basically told to
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: get the hell out. He lost patience with him. Middle
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: of all these layoffs. He's out there at the super Bowl.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Absolutely ridiculous. The CEO claims he decided to quit, and
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: you put out one of those I want to spend
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: more time with my family. And if you've seen his family,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to man more time with him. So that's it.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what what Bezos will do with this
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Washington Post. It's pretty much hopeless. He could try to
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: sell it, but nobody wants These people don't read newspapers anymore.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: Twenty two million people read newspapers in America now two
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty nine million listening to the radio,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: sixty three million listen to AM radio. Newspapers twenty two million.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: So it's not much. I don't know how you could
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: really sell it. The only possible buyers there is some
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: hint that Bloomberg might want to buy it. In fact,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Bloomberg was there kicking the
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: tires on it, so Bloomberg a possible buyer. It's not
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: a good business, there's no logical reason to buy it,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: but you know, Bloomberg is always trying to create some
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: sort of media presence, more of a Washington present, so
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: that's a possibility. The other thing is the Wall Street
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Journal might buy it. The Wall Street Journal just looking
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: to expand their or Washington DC coverage, they might buy it.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Murdoch is about the only guy who's still really interested
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: in newspapers, so that's a slight, slight possibility. Nancy Guthrie,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: it's day nine now, you know she needs all kinds
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: of medicine heart medicinelood pressure medicine. She got cardiac problems.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I've asked doctors if the kidnappers she has no medicine.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: If you're on all these medicines, how long could you go.
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: It's nine days without her medicine. Well they say it
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: it's not good, but you could last a couple of
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: weeks without the medicine. You know. They found a lot
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: of blood, trail of blood. One of the things she
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: was probably taking for the heart problems was a blood thinner.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: So that's why all the blood. It might not have
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: been that much of an injury, but the slightest little
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: cut you can bleed a lot when you're on those
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: blood thinners. So we'll we'll see. Today at five o'clock
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: is a deadline, big deadline. Five o'clock today, I'm supposed
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: to deliver the six million dollar ransom and bitcoin. You know,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: the old days, you had to take the money, put
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: it in a suitcase, They give you a location you
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: drop it off, which meant the kidnappers had to come
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: pick up the money physically, come pick it up somewhere.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: So that was a way to catch them. With the bitcoin.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you catch them I don't know
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: how you'd ever traced them. They could already be long
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: gone out of the country. But we'll see what happens
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: later today. So mayor, Mom, Donnie, and you're saying, why
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't he do something? Why doesn't he act? Why doesn't
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: he Well, he's busy with this is what he was
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: busy with this weekend.
• 45:20
  Speaker 11: The story of the Hidra reminds us the prophet Muhammad,
• 45:24
  Speaker 11: so the ala Ali who was seldom was a stranger too,
• 45:28
  Speaker 11: who fled Mecca and was welcomed in Medina. Sura Nahal
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: sixteen forty two tells us as for those who immigrated
• 45:35
  Speaker 11: in the cause of a law, after being persecuted, we
• 45:38
  Speaker 11: will surely bless them with a good home in this world.
• 45:41
  Speaker 11: Or as the prophet Muhammad Sali al'li he was seldom said,
• 45:45
  Speaker 11: Islam began as something strange and will go back to
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: being strange. So glad tidings to the strangers.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: What the hell are you talking about? Just pick up
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: the snow, What the hell are you talking about? Pick
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: up the garbage? What on earth are you saying this? Hey,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: you gotta blame I hate to say, you gotta blame
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: democratic voters. How the hell did you elect this guy?
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: What on earth were you thinking? What is wrong with you?
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: The real problem was Andrew Cuomo got in a race,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: and everybody hates this guy. Nobody hates Andrew Cuomo more
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: than the Democrats. So he got in the primary. It
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: was it was how it was how Mom Donni won.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: They just it was a lot of voting against Cuomo.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: And they say, you know here, when you win the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Democratic primary, you win the election. Hey, by the way,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Cuomo is now doing a radio show. You should listen
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: to this. This guy is so far to the left.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Cuomo is so left wing. If you're thinking, yeah, Mam
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Donnie is terrible, I wish we had Cuomo listen to
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: his radio show. Sometimes he is to the left of
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie on most issues. This week talking about how
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: awful Ice is. Ice is so terrible. Ice is a
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: bunch of fascists. There are a bunch of thugs. I mean,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: you can use that language, but that's basically what he
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: was saying. Hey, well, take some calls next, Scott Shannon.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: In a few minutes, we'll talk about the super Bowl,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: but we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three to two,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. It's the Marks among show
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: on seven tenor Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: to Steve, Union City. Steve, how you doing.
• 47:23
  Speaker 12: I'm doing great, Mark. I wanted to comment on Seattle's
• 47:27
  Speaker 12: idea of taxing the football players from other cities and
• 47:30
  Speaker 12: states when they play there.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:32
  Speaker 12: I'm an actor, a retired actor. Cities and states all
• 47:35
  Speaker 12: over the country have been doing this to us when
• 47:37
  Speaker 12: we're on tour for decades. We go into some city
• 47:41
  Speaker 12: and they decide, oh, we're going to tax you while
• 47:42
  Speaker 12: you're here for the portion of the money that you
• 47:44
  Speaker 12: made while you're here. So we're being taxed without representation
• 47:48
  Speaker 12: and kind of double taxed because we're still paying tax
• 47:50
  Speaker 12: to the state where we live.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous. And what were you in that
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: we might have seen?
• 47:56
  Speaker 12: I was in the Broadway Company of forty second Street
• 47:58
  Speaker 12: for three and a half years, the National Company of Footloose,
• 48:01
  Speaker 12: lots of other shows.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Very good, excellent, Well thanks for calling, Steve. Take care.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Robert in New Jersey. Robert, how you doing,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark.
• 48:11
  Speaker 13: I wanted to make about the alternative halftime show. You know,
• 48:15
  Speaker 13: it was the big name there was, Kid And the
• 48:19
  Speaker 13: problem was he didn't even actually come on and perform
• 48:22
  Speaker 13: and Buck the other halftime show with the game was over,
• 48:25
  Speaker 13: so everybody went back to watch the game till and
• 48:28
  Speaker 13: the big the big name for the alternative halftime show.
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: I don't even think anybody saw it.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Well, actually seven million people saw the alternative show. Seven
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: million actually twitched over from the super Bowl to watch
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the Kid Rock show. Let's go to Bob in Georgia. Bob,
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 48:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah, hey, hi, Mark. The only thing I could figure
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: they had a Spanish singer for the halftime show is
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: maybe they're trying to bring in that demographic. But I
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: got to tell you, the guys are the Spanish guys
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: I worked with, and the Spanish people I know like soccer,
• 49:01
  Speaker 8: So I don't know who he really was playing to.
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: I guess I guess maybe one of the younger people
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: or something like that. Anyway, that was my opinion about it.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well thanks for calling. The problem is
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: you could actually argue that he is the biggest and
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: most successful singer in the world today. But as we
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: were saying today, you could be the number one selling
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: artist in the world and only one little demographic nose.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: You ulf the half the country's never heard of you.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: It's all splintered up right now, Let's go to Sandy
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: in Long Island. Sandy, how you doing?
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: How are you?
• 49:32
  Speaker 12: Mark?
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 49:33
  Speaker 14: I also have a comment to make about the halftime show.
• 49:37
  Speaker 14: I don't Roger Friedman must be delusional. How anyone could
• 49:41
  Speaker 14: stand that show? I can't figure it out.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Well, he was pretty understand he can understanding. But he
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: was pretty good.
• 49:49
  Speaker 14: He wasn't good.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: He was pretty good.
• 49:52
  Speaker 14: Oh, give me a break.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: No, he looked good. The moves were good. Everything. It
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: was the choreography, the whole terrific.
• 49:58
  Speaker 14: It was borderline porn. It to be Witherking and everything
• 50:02
  Speaker 14: you listen to you you could.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Use a little borderline porn.
• 50:09
  Speaker 14: Private perhaps put not on TV.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, let me ask you a question. This new study
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: shows that more women are looking at porn than ever before,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: the porn sites that I've never seen this boor what
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: do you attribute that to?
• 50:21
  Speaker 14: I have to tell you I don't know, and I
• 50:24
  Speaker 14: have to question who did the survey?
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Well, it's not a survey, it's actual numbers.
• 50:29
  Speaker 14: It's well, I don't know what to say. I'm certainly
• 50:33
  Speaker 14: not one of them. All right, if you're happy own,
• 50:36
  Speaker 14: you don't have to You really don't have to do that.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: No, I understand, thanks for calling me. Yeah, it's just interesting. Uh.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Some experts think it's that people. Whatever they used to
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: do physically in person, they're doing online now. So a
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: lot a lot of women less actual going out with men,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: sex with men, they're just doing it online. It's the
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: same thing with everything else. You used to go see
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: people talk to them. Now you text and everything becomes digital.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe Bergen County. Joe, how you doing?
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark, how you doing?
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I want to switch gears here.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: Kudos to Vincent.
• 51:10
  Speaker 6: Uh, where's my cap on my my PSC?
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: Jal went thirty dollars more?
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: Where's my cap?
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: But are you talking about what he's talking about? The energy? Oh?
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: Electric?
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: Okay, our energy bills went up even more.
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: She's supposed to put a cap on it.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, good luck with that. You voted for a Democrat.
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: No no, no, no, we didn't.
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know how she got in. I don't know
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: where she came from.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: I know, but I'm just telling you you elect a Democrat.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Your energy costs go up, everything goes up. Your good
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: example is New York. You elected Cuomo. He shut down
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: the nuclear plant Indian Point that was twenty five percent
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: of our electricity twenty five percent taken off line. That means,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: you know, you got to buy it from out of state.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: It increases the cost. Absolutelyiculous. One more Michael on the
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: East Side. Michael, what you want to say sorry?
• 52:13
  Speaker 16: Garden with Godden.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: The same thing, what'd you say? Okay?
• 52:21
  Speaker 15: With Garden had been Ghazi attack? The John Batchelor Show
• 52:27
  Speaker 15: had somebody on at the time that really discussed in
• 52:33
  Speaker 15: depth the true story and why Hillary Clinton would not
• 52:39
  Speaker 15: send support because that would expose one of her gun
• 52:46
  Speaker 15: trading operations.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: Well, more likely it was Hillary Clinton and the world's
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: worst manager, didn't know what the hell she was doing.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Left those people there, just left them for dead. It
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: was awful. Hey. When we come back, speaking of music
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: and mainstream artists, we'll talk to the greatest living DJ,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: the legend himself, Scott Shannon will go over the super
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: Bowl and more. Coming up next on seven to ten.
• 53:09

• 53:13
  Speaker 1: woor to hear Mark Live set.
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: Another for Mark's podcast to hear him anytime.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Now, back to Mark Simone on woor Well with us
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: right now, the greatest living DJ, the radio legend himself,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Scott Shannon is with us. Scott Shannon, how you doing?
• 53:34
  Speaker 16: Coming right at you on miss Work Monday. We're both
• 53:38
  Speaker 16: working our tales off today. Yeah, kind of put everything
• 53:43
  Speaker 16: in perspective. I do have. I've been listening to your
• 53:49
  Speaker 16: radio show this morning, and I gotta tell you, you
• 53:52
  Speaker 16: and I usually agree, but not this time. My friend,
• 53:57
  Speaker 16: what that halftime show? It was a business. It was horrible.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Well, visually it looked good and the moves were good,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: and the music was bouncy lively.
• 54:09
  Speaker 16: Let me ask you a question. Back when Prince did it,
• 54:15
  Speaker 16: when Bruce did it, when Lady Gaga did it, all
• 54:18
  Speaker 16: the way back to when Up with People did it,
• 54:21
  Speaker 16: it was all about the music. It was about the
• 54:26
  Speaker 16: singing to the country, right. Yeah, so you're telling me
• 54:32
  Speaker 16: it was an entertaining shoke, except you didn't know one
• 54:35
  Speaker 16: word he was singing.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But see, here's the problem that I was going
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: to ask you. Back then, Bruce Springsteen was a mainstream
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: artist that everybody knew. The music. Now is so splintered.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: Can you name anybody that everybody would know, every demo
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: everybody would know.
• 54:54
  Speaker 16: Well, the thing that you're missing, I think is the
• 54:58
  Speaker 16: fact that most people who speak Spanish are big soccer fans.
• 55:04
  Speaker 16: I think you mentioned that once this morning. Yeah, and
• 55:08
  Speaker 16: then he goes on and you know, also people forgot
• 55:12
  Speaker 16: this was also about the two hundred and fifties anniversary
• 55:15
  Speaker 16: of our country, where our actual most people in America
• 55:21
  Speaker 16: speak English. God, you know, I'd have nothing against mister Bunny.
• 55:27
  Speaker 16: I think he's a fine, fine artist. But here's something
• 55:32
  Speaker 16: for you when you watch when you turn on one
• 55:34
  Speaker 16: of the Spanish speaking televisions, do they have an English
• 55:38
  Speaker 16: show on there?
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: No?
• 55:41
  Speaker 16: I don't think so, Mark, of course not so. How
• 55:47
  Speaker 16: many people do you think started to watch that? Look,
• 55:51
  Speaker 16: the set was beautiful, the dancers were great, but I
• 55:54
  Speaker 16: couldn't understand one damn word he was singing. Well, I
• 55:58
  Speaker 16: don't speak Spanish.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: A lot of today's biggest hits I love. I can't
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: understand one word they're saying either.
• 56:04
  Speaker 16: So oh, come on, you can understand. You can understand
• 56:09
  Speaker 16: Taylor Swift when she's singing.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But there's a bunch of songs I don't know
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: what all they're singing, but they're great and I love them.
• 56:15
  Speaker 16: Well, you know the other thing people aren't. I don't
• 56:20
  Speaker 16: know if you've talked about this or you realize it,
• 56:24
  Speaker 16: but you've got to remember Roger Goodell is very clear
• 56:29
  Speaker 16: with his plans for his league. He thinks he wants
• 56:35
  Speaker 16: it to be the International Football League, not the NFL,
• 56:39
  Speaker 16: not the National Football League. He had a games down
• 56:43
  Speaker 16: in Mexico, he's been in London, he's been in Germany.
• 56:46
  Speaker 16: They're going I think they're doing one in Italy or France,
• 56:50
  Speaker 16: I think, and I think this was just part of
• 56:53
  Speaker 16: that big plan.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. Hey, Roger Goodell, who's a
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: very unpleasant, unlikable sort of guy, but the other guy.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Owners love him because he knows how to make money.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: He makes them a ton of money. So you're right,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: that's his plan, more international and expand.
• 57:09
  Speaker 16: Yeah, that ma and this fits right into his plan.
• 57:14
  Speaker 16: The obvious thing that should have been done it was
• 57:18
  Speaker 16: they're forgetting about the you know, I know they had
• 57:20
  Speaker 16: the flyover, but it's a two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
• 57:23
  Speaker 16: of our country, for God's eight, Then what do you
• 57:26
  Speaker 16: do for the halftime show. Yeah, I can't that couldn't.
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: Take it all right.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: But the good thing was Charlie Pooth I thought was
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: absolutely brilliant singing the national anthem. Would you agree?
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 57:41
  Speaker 16: I thought he did a great job. Yeah, I did,
• 57:43
  Speaker 16: There's no doubt about that.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, wardrobe wise, he looked ridiculous. He looked like
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Marlon Brando in on the Waterfront with that jacket.
• 57:50
  Speaker 16: But uh, you know, one of the I don't know,
• 57:54
  Speaker 16: I don't even know if you saw this, but there
• 57:56
  Speaker 16: was a high, high highs point in the proceedings in
• 58:02
  Speaker 16: the fourth quarters. It has always happened. Some guy ran
• 58:06
  Speaker 16: across the field and it was funny too because nobody
• 58:10
  Speaker 16: could catch him except a guy in a in a
• 58:13
  Speaker 16: New England uniform and he tackled this so he took
• 58:17
  Speaker 16: him down on the ten yard line.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I actually missed it, I thought later, but I
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: was actually eating then buffet.
• 58:25
  Speaker 16: That was pretty cool.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 58:26
  Speaker 16: But and like I said, I thought the sets were
• 58:29
  Speaker 16: beautiful and Bunny was fine. I mean, he's a great performer.
• 58:34
  Speaker 16: I just I'd like sometimes I'd like to hear what
• 58:36
  Speaker 16: there's you know, telepre singing.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but again the problem is Prince was like everybody
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: knew Prince back then. There's no mainstream singers anymore that
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: everybody knows. There's no such thing, even our You took
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: our radio stations here on this floor. You got Z
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: one hundred over there, which you created. You got Power
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: one O five, you got Q one o four. They
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: all played different artists. There's no artists that could get
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: played on all of our stations.
• 59:01
  Speaker 16: You know what, did you get a chance to pay
• 59:04
  Speaker 16: much attention to the commercials?
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 59:08
  Speaker 16: I thought there are some great commercials. This was really
• 59:11
  Speaker 16: a battery year for commercials. You had that Uh you
• 59:15
  Speaker 16: had that one.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: What was it?
• 59:17
  Speaker 16: You had bon Jovi in there, Stop living on a prayer? Yeah,
• 59:21
  Speaker 16: you had the great Budweiser commercials were the best they've
• 59:24
  Speaker 16: had in a long time. Uh that Clydesdale Orse, that
• 59:29
  Speaker 16: little baby and the baby Eagle, all that things strong.
• 59:33
  Speaker 16: And then what about the Goodwill Duncan commercial. Yeah, Film Stiller,
• 59:40
  Speaker 16: Jennifer Addison, Tom Brady, they're all in that thing.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: The only problem is nowadays you watch so much video
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: AI unbelievable special effects video, all kinds of amazing videos
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: all day long on TikTok as. After all, that all
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: day and night. These commercials aren't so dazzling anymore. We're
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: used to it too much.
• 59:59
  Speaker 16: Yeah, but I thought these were very entertained. There were
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 16: a couple of them. There were pretty good commercials, but
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 16: I couldn't figure.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: Out what the product was.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 16: That's a problem when you spend that kind of money.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 16: And oh what did you see the talking toilet seee? Yeah,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 16: so yeah, that was pretty funny.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: They were pretty good. The game itself not very good.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: The New England got to the Super Bowl a couple
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: of years too early. They're not ready for this yet.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 16: Yeah, but that that defense of Seattle was they were incredible.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 16: Oh that was that was an amazing game. I mean, yeah,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 16: there wasn't much action, I agree, but you know it was.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 16: It was good. If you were a big fan.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were a.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 16: Fan of Seattle. Now what about I know, not everybody's
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 16: kicked in yet for the Winter Olympics, but at Lindsey
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 16: von thing was kind of crazy. Yeah, she's forty one
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 16: years old, she's at and a ruptured or a c
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 16: A a week ago. And then he's gonna put a bracelet.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 16: I'm ready, I'm all set. I'll be fine. That had
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 16: that had disaster it all over, I thought. And then
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 16: she she what She hit her shoulder too, didn't she
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 16: on one of those passer by things you skate. I'm
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 16: out of skier, so I don't know what I'm talking about.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 16: And then they had to rush her off, and I
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 16: think she broke her leg or something, you.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: Know, And I can't figure o whut anybody would be
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: a skier. It seems like the dumbest sport in the world.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: You pay money, go somewhere where it's colder than where
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: you are, you have to wear all those contraptions.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 16: It well, it worked all right, worked out all right
• 1:01:39
