  Speaker 3: Trattaria in will and Redding, Connecticut, and we use unbromeated

  Speaker 3: flower from Italy called double zero.

  Speaker 3: But it's not The difference is not it's not a problem.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And what does that potassium bromite actually do?
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I you know, I really don't have any ideas. Something
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: they started adding I think was around World War Two
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: into the flowers to make me perhaps to make them
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: rise faster. I'm really not sure about that. But we
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: know that that's not healthy for you, so we don't
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: use it at all, and you don't have to use
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: it because there's plenty of flowers on the markets that
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: don't have them, that are not romeated.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Very good, excellent, Yeah, good to hear from an expert.

  Speaker 1: name of your place?

• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Let's go to David in Connecticut. David, how you doing good? Mark?
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Thanks? I got this question which drives me crazy about
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: this ambiguous fair share.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: How much is the fair share? They never tell you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: what the fair share is? Well again, right now, if
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you're a billionaire, you're paying about fifty six fifty six
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: fifty seven percent if you're living in New York. That
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: sounds like way hip of it. Nobody should be paying
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that amount. That's immoral to take that much money from somebody.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And again, the top one percent is paying thirty eight
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: percent of the taxes, which is a little that's way
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: beyond their fair share. Let's go to Sergio in New Jersey.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I am if New York State an MRI. What's all
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that noise? Oh machine?
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Are we going on?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, I'm gonna work.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: New York stays. It's in a huge posit of natural gas. Yeah,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: it could copy.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a very good point, Sergio. You know, thanks
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to Andrew Cuomo, your electric bill went up like four
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: hundred percent. You know, remember your electric bill was like
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred dollars. Now it's three hundred. That's Andrew Cuomo
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that did that. He banned fracking, no natural gas. He
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: shut down Indian Point, our nuclear plant that's twenty five
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: percent of our electricity, and those two things have major
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: electric bill go sky high. That's why that happened. Let's
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing. Good morning, Mark,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that's Mike. These lawmakers make me.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Ye, did we lose mic may not cause cancer?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: So they want to get rid of an additive that
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: may or may not get rid of cancer, these lawmakers.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: But the same lawmakers want to allow people food stamp
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: recipients to die soda, So which is more damaging some
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: kid who's raised on soda. So we have his kids,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: you know, his chief fall out and we have to
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: pay for that as taxpayers. And then he gets diabetes
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: and we have to pay for his care for that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Until they're just so self righteously wrong, all the time.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. They're usually wrong about everything.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Great call Mike. You know, you know the great job
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: would be be a laboratory rat, because that's what they test.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're a laboratory rat, they keep giving
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you soda, pizza, bagels. I mean, it's only good stuff
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: they test you. Let's go to Mike in Memphis, Tennessee. Mike,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Great?
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Good Mark, good morning. Hey all this talk about corresponds
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: to dinner and the I'll be curious, So I looked
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: up the very first Friars roast on YouTube, and it
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: was with Johnny Carson getting roasted.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Well, actually, actually the first first Friar's roast was about
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixteen. The Carson roast was in the late sixties.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Oh no, no, I mean televised.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Well, actually the first televised roast. They did a couple
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in the fifties. One was for Ed Sullivan, one was
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for Humphrey Bogart. But the Carson roast is on YouTube.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: It's great. Nineteen sixty eight, sixty nine.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: Thinety sixty eight. Yeah, but it was amazing to see
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Groucho March there and Flip Wilson. But the interesting thing
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: for me was I've always wondered who Curtis Lee were
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: reminded me of his voice. Yeah, Alan King was the host,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: and Alan King and Curtis to me, sounds exactly alike.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And I don't know about that Alan King similarity, but
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Alan King they were. They were kind of loud. They
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: would talk. There was a loudness to them. I mean
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in a good way. That that was just one of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the secrets of Valentin exactly.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Alan King's delivery.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's worth watching. And of course it was
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: absolutely hilarious with Don Rickles on there too.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's actually three of those. There's three of those.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: It was the same group. They would just switch so
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: there's a Johnny Carson roast. In the next day they
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: would tape another one where Don Rickles was the guy
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: being roasted. It was the great Gary Smith, the producer. Yeah,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: they're all on YouTube. Just type Friars Roast YouTube and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they're up there. Same thing with the Dean Martin ROAs.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You know, they would fly like fifteen celebrities to Las
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Vegas and they would tape like eight roasts. They would
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just keep switching who was being roasted. But it was
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the same group. Let's go to Tony in White Plains. Tony,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hi, Mark, Mark. I thought of a good commercial
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: for our mid time elections for the Republicans. You take
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: every montage that you could think of that you need
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: an ID for, and you put him into to a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: sequence and you show him on TV. And then you
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: showed this little old lady. She's shopping in a supermarket
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and she got a crock full of groceries there. She
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: puts them on the counter and the clerk says, oh,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I have to get that. She's got a six pack
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of beer. She sticks it up. She says, I need
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to see your ID.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, actually the montage exists. It's been done online
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a million times. It's more done like a list. On
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: one side you'll see four hundred things that you need
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: an ID for, and the other side you'll just see
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: one thing what you don't need an ID for. Voting. Hey,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: when we come back. The great comedian Jimmy Fayla. He's
