• 1:22
  Speaker 4: I'm doing great, Monk. I was a Greek American from Brooklyn,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: where family was in the restaurant business. Michelle's you may
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: know it, and c Fair of the Gene and.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: See Fair of the Agan that was in Queen's right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: That was in Queen But there was another place. Chris
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Bastus old that very gray used to come in there
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: a lot. But that's about my point. My Greek relatives
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: didn't believe in the child label law. Was they had
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: me working like what, I'm eight nine years old, so
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I think I'd better go to school. And all my
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: relatives who worked in that business, they're pushing up daisies
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: twenty hours a day, seven days a week. It's a
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: terrible it's a tough business.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: For the owner.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: You're talking about the great classic diners.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Oh they're great. I mean, I mean the food's good.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to say, but I'm saying it's a
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: tough business for the owners. They work like you work
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: like a dog in these businesses. Yeah, that's that's why
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: the kids don't go into them. Okay, come doctors and
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: lawyers and all of that stuff.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: So the kid kid works in the diner with the pharans,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: sees how bad it is and decides he's going to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: do something else for a living.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough, long hours, seven days a week.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And which diner did Barry Gray go to.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: It wasn't a well, it was a restaurant. It wasn't
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Chris Bastus owned it. And the one in family we
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: had a participation in was Michelle's in Brooklyn. It's just
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: a tough business, that's all I want.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: No, that's a good point. That's why all the next
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: generations didn't go into it. Barry Gray was an important figure.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: He created talk radio. Basically nineteen forty seven forty eight,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: he was doing the first radio talk show. You know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: It was on wr Actually he was on WOR. This
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: is where talk radio was invented. And then one day
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: he decided to take a phone call on the air.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: But this is how primitive it was. You couldn't hear
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the caller, so he would have to repeat what the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: caller was saying and then answer it. And then eventually
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they figured out how to hook it up so you
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: could hear the caller on the air, but it was
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: very Gray. He invented talk Rado. He became the absolute
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: god king of talk radio. He was the biggest ever
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and years ago WMCA was the number one talk station
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: in America. That was back in the early eighties. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: was a little kid. I went to work there with
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Barry Gray. He was always so nice to me, unlike
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: some of the other big talk but he was really nice.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: And oh yeah, we used to go to the diner.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I'd go the diner with him, and you always have
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the same order, three crispy pieces of bacon. That was
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: always the same thing. But he was a great man.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Then he came back to wor and finished up his
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: career here. He's he invented talk radio here and then
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: finished his career here at WORE. Let's go to Jimmy
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: and Westchester. Jimmy, how you doing?
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: How you doing?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Mark?
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Been listening to you forever, never called you my first
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: time we did. I'm glad you're on more hours. I'll
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: be continuous to listen. Two things I want to ask you.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: Number one, remember the concert that line on Rich you
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: had at Madison Square Garden and for some reason he
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: was stuck up there in Boston. He didn't show and
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: the h you know, he didn't come and the show
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: couldn't go on. Did we ever find out what what
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: the problem was?
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: No? No, but it's a good question. We got to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: look into that. Okay, next question.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: The other thing I wanted to ask you, if can
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: I ask another one?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, go ahead, Oh, okay.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: With Michael Cohen, I know what you've been saying about
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: him and everything, and he was just a little handy man.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: But that's not what I'm getting.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we've all been listening to this Michael Cohen show.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Nobody can believe the things he's Yeah, he's seems to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: be lying about everything if you listen to him. Nobody
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: was ever closer to Donald Trump. I was the single
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: closest friend you ever had. Not true.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: No.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: One day I'm listening and then he said, take it
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: from a Washington insider. I am the ultimate Washington insider.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think this guy's ever even been to Washington.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe visited for two hours. Washington Insider.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: Well, Mark, thank you. I I want to congratulate you.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: I will continue to listen to the show, and I
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: hope you keep growing and growing.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You're great.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, thanks a lot, thanks for calling. Glad
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you called. Let's go to uh gup in Danville. When
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: was the last time you met a guy named Gup? Gup?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: How you doing? Wait a minute, let me push the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: button again. Gup?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Oh there we are, take too. Good morning, Mark, Yes,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: all right, there we go. Hey for my money, pal,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: you could do six hours and talk ready, it would
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: be a better spot for it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Oh. Thanks, but I did that years ago. I don't
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: want to do I used to do a six hour
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do that anymore. That's all I got. Yeah.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: The other thing I wanted to talk about was whose
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: word progressives and how it's applied to the Democrats and liberals.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, progressive always had a positive connotation to me,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and now it's just the opposite. They ought to be
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: called regressives.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a good point. What happened was Reagan
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: won and he was a very successful president for eight years.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He was so successful that his vice president, George H. W.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Bush was able to win just based on Reagan. They
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: were people were basically voting for a third term of Reagan.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And then when Democrats go into a tailspin and they're
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: out for years, they always go to the left. They
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: go way too far to the left. You're seeing it
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: right now. But they did that with Reagan and Bush.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: That was twelve years of report. So they went way
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: too far to the left. And then they nominated and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: they nominated Mondale. You know, when Reagan was so big,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: they nominated Mondale. Then they nominated Ducoccus, and they were
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: losing by going way too far to the left. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: then when Bill Clinton came along, the word liberal had
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: become a bad word. It was associated with Jimmy Carter,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: with Mondale, with Ducoccus. The word liberal had such a
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: bad connotation to it, so they didn't want to use
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the word. I think it was Carvill. They came up
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: with progressive and they would say, well, you're a liberal,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: now I'm a progressive. They got rid of liberal and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: they started calling it progressive. They've done that for years now.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: They made progressive bad word, so they're gonna have to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: come up with another name. It progressive. Everybody just holds
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: their nose when they hear that. Let's go to Mike
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and Portchester. Mike, how you doing?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: Mark, got to talk to you again. I want to
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: say hi to my Payson in Brooklyn, but.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no saying hello. Just get to
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the point, all right.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to call and say what's Mark? And
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: in this generation these young people is that they're lazy. Okay.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: They expect things to come to them. And when I
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: was a kid, I had to learn three different jobs
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: in order to survive.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. These over educated, they get
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: over educated, they get degrees, they're useless. They're living in
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: their parents' basement. They blame America, blame the system. You know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: you could be living in your parents' house no money.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You know you could if you were Jeff Bezos. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: mean he just started making something in his garage and
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: designing a business, all this stuff, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: They all started making something in their garage, inventing a
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: pridject or going out and working their tail off. You
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: can no matter what situation you are, you can work
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: your way out of it. Hey, when we come back, Bill,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: O'Reilly will be with us. We'll talk to him next
• 8:50
