  Speaker 3: Simone Show in for Mark today, here's Jim Kerr.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Well, good morning. It's great to be here in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: seventh ten WOR studio. And as a matter of fact,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: to tell you the truth, this is the very first
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: time I've ever been in this studio. This is the
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: famous Mark Simone studio here at Radio seven ten WOR.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I've known Mark. Oh, let's see. I got to give
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: you a little background here about my relationship with Mark Simone.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: I first met Mark in September nineteen seventy seven, so
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: in September it will be forty nine years since we
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: first met. When I met Mark, he was the nighttime
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: DJ at what was then WPIXFM here in New York City,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: and his audience predominantly consisted of teenagers at the time,
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: and I observed him at work. He was incredibly funny,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: so creative on the air. To be quite honest with you,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I was kind of in awe at how he could
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: just put something together in about thirty seconds and create
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: hilarity on the air while at the same time keeping
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: the hits coming. He was truly a great DJ. He
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: then later went on, of course, to a very successful
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: career as a talk show host, culminating in this top
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: rated show on Radio seven to ten WR. But besides
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the fact that he was really creative, there was something
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: really unusual about him. Now, you have to understand that
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: in September of nineteen seventy seven, we were both very
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: young guys, and we were working with a bunch of
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: other very young guys, and it was an era of
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: T shirts and blue jeans and sneakers. That's how all
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of us dressed, except for Mark Simone. We're talking early
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: twenties now, not an older guy. A guy in his
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: early twenties playing rock and roll in disco records for
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: a living. At night, you'd go into the studio and
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: the man would have a crisp white shirt on, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: he had a tie, and he had a jacket with
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: a pocket square and slacks and shoes that were polished
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: as if he were a United States marine. He didn't
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: look like the rest of us looked, and he didn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: carry himself the way the rest of us carried ourselves.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: There was a certain kind of bizarre maturity about him,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: and it created a very unique situation in our relationship
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: through the years because when Mark was very young, to
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: all the rest of us his peers, he looked older.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: He looked like an older guy because of the way
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: he dressed, in the way he presented himself. Well, now
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: it's decades later, and he looks the same. He looks
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: exactly the same. So when he was young, he looked old.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: When he's older, he looks young. It's the most amazing
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: thing I've ever seen. How can you know somebody for
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: almost forty nine years and they look the same. But
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: that's the deal with Mark Simone. Had I only met
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: him that one day in September of nineteen seventy seven
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: and then bumped into him on the street yesterday in Manhattan,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I would immediately been able to recognize him. So that's
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: the deal with Mark Simone and his you know, appearance,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: always a perfectly dressed guy. The other thing about Mark
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Simone is he's kind of known as a man about town.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: And the fact of the matter is that anytime you
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: hear a story about Mark being a man about town,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: it's true He knows everyone, and he goes everywhere. If
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: there's a Broadway show opening, Mark Simone is there. If
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: you pick up the newspaper, okay, let me just grab
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: a newspaper. You pick up the newspaper and you see, oh,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: a very exclusive, star studded book party in a fancy
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: apartment building on Central Park West, you know, Mark Simone
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: was probably there. Mark Simone is at every restaurant opening,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: He's at every important civic and charitable event, sometimes in
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: more than one state. And one day I've looked at
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: pictures that Mark has put up on Facebook, and He'll
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: be at one event in Manhattan at three in the afternoon,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and then I'll see him at some charity gala in
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Connecticut at nine o'clock at night. The man has incredible
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: energy and he is he is. It's not BS. Mark
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Simone is New York's man about town. One day I was.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: It was on a Saturday night, and so that's the
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: night that I can stay up late because I get
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: up early in the morning. I get up at three
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: o'clock in the morning for my regular job. It was
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: a Saturday night and I walked into the famous restaurant
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: and bar Elaines, known around the world, but in my case,
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: it was, you know, a neighborhood bar and restaurant, because
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: live a block and a half away, you know, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: I knew the bartender is Duffy and Alex. And I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: went in to go get a glass of wine on
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a Saturday night, the only night I can really stay
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: out late. And I walked in and I could hear
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the voice of Mark Simone because it kind of cut
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: through the ambient noise in the bar. And I looked
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: across the room and there he was sitting at a
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: table facing me. There was a blondhaired woman who was
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: facing him, so her back was to me, but anyway,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: I waved at him, and he waved me over. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I went over to his table and I said him Mark,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: and then he introduced me to his dinner date and Colter,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: the famous author, the beautiful blonde, famous author, best selling author,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: book after book after book after book, and he invited
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: me to sit down, and I had a wonderful conversation
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: with the two of them. He introduced me to her.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: She engaged me in a conversation about her love of
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: the Grateful day ed. She apparently has seen the grateful
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Dead and concert like two hundred and eighty times or
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: something like that. And after about fifteen minutes, I left
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: and went over to the bar and ordered myself a
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: glass of wine. And as I savored each sip of
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: that glass of cabernet, what was going through my mind
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: was a simple question, how on earth does Mark Simone
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: end up with Ann Colter as a dinner date? Well,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: there was a very simple answer. Mark Simone is Mark Simone,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: and he knows everybody, and I am thrilled to be
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: able to spend some time with you Mark Simone's friends
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: today here on radio seven to ten WOR. Because I
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: think to Mark, at least in our conversations in the
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: hallway here at iHeartRadio, I think that the most important
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: relationship that he has, besides the fact that he knows
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: everybody and goes everywhere, that he talks about with the
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: greatest degree of affection, those people are you. He loves
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the people who listen to his radio show here on WOR.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: He spends so much time thinking about what it is
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: every day that he wants to share with you and
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: respects so much your participation in the conversation when you
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: call and share your ideas and thoughts with him. That's
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: another attribute that is unfortunately not as common as it
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: should be. Mark Simone loves his audience. And I am
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: so thrilled to be able to spend some time with
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: you today because I feel like I know you because
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: he's talked about you in the hallways as long as
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: we've been here together at iHeartRadio. And today we're going
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: to talk about some things that are going on in
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: New York City. I expect that we'll have a conversation
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: a little bit later this hour that we'll touch on
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: artificial intelligence. You know, AI is coming for us all
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: it is. There was a story in the newspaper today
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: about the hundreds of thousands of people who have already
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: been displaced in their jobs because of artificial intelligence. It
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: is often pooh pooed by corporate executives who say things
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: like our adoption of AI is going to make our
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: employees more efficient and make their jobs easier. Well, that's
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: not necessarily the case. It could be AI just doing
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: your job. We'll talk about that. There's also the danger
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: of AI taking over your image, your likeness. People can
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: put videos created by AI up that people will believe
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: are yours because they look just like you. They can
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: make the voice sound just like you. There haven't really
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: been effective legislative to such things. People are working on it,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: in some cases successfully, in some other cases it's a
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: challenge because there are big companies that push back. But
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I'll have a conversation a little bit later this morning
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: with one of the women on the front lines in
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: state legislatures and in the halls of Congress in Washington,
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: d C. Trying to create protections for you, because even
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: though she's focusing on a particular segment of the population,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: those people who are in the entertainment or media industries
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: as part of her job, the fact is the legislation
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: that she's working on is legislation that will protect all
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: of us, regardless of what it is that we do
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: for a living. So that'll be coming up. Also. I've
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: read in the paper the other day about those crazy
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: women at the courthouse who are just crazy. For Luigi Mangioni,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: the accused murderer who was accused of killing a man.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: We could see that where we could see where that
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: murder took place, right out of our Q one or
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: four point three studio here in New York.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: City.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: One of my personal habits is from time to time
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: I go downstairs onto the sidewalk when there's a break
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: in my show, so that I can enjoy a breath
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: of fresh air on the streets of New York City.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: And I missed coming face to face with that guy
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: because of the route that he allegedly took after the
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: shooting took place by just six minutes. And now there's
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: a courthouse full of young women who think that he's
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the greatest guy in the world. I find that very confusing,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: and we'll try to have a conversation about that coming
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: up as well here at war. Of course, it's your show,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: it's Mark Show, and it's your show. I'm just temporarily
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: sitting here in this chair. So we're going to ask
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: you to call the Voice of New York at eight
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: hundred and three to two one zero seven ten to
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: speak to us about whatever might be on your mind,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: because we'd love to hear from you this morning here
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: on the Mark Simone Show at Radio seven to ten
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: wor I'm Jim Kerr. Remember, I'm open to just about anything.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: Love to hear from you. Although we do have those
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: topics that we'll be coming up a little bit later
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: on during the show. So with that, we'll take our
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: first break and we'll be right back. This is the
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Mark Simone Show on Radio seven to ten wr Grey,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Travis and Buck Sexton. Do any of these guys that
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: are challenging Democrats have the ability to punch through.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: There's a big battleground that in the next couple of
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: weeks is going to officially be walked in.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Ray, Travis and Buck Sexton. We take a new on
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: seven to ten.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Woo Hey, I love Long Island, but the tap water
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: is terrible. You know, some study shows unhealthy, dangerous chemicals
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: and toxins. That's where Long Island Clean Water can help you.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: It's a great company. Let them test your water for free.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: It's a family owned company that's been doing this for forty years.
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: Madeline and Mark Schmidt, excellent team. Every town's water is different.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Let them
