Last night, when I was watching the 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: basketball basketball game, I've got a phone survey from the 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: American Survey Company asking about my radio listening habits AM 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: and FM. Yeah, that's the first time that's ever happened 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 2: to me. So I told him, I said, listen, what 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: do you listen to? I said, well, I listened to 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: WOOR from ten to noon. And what do you listened to? 15 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: I said, I listen to Mark Samo And he goes 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: and he couldn't understand my accent because this guy had 17 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: a Spanish accent also, but he says WOA. I said, 18 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: no WR. And he says, what do you listen to 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: an FM? I said, I don't listen to FM radio 20 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: in South Carolina, but to w R two hours a 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: day from Marx Simone. And I listened on iHeartRadio and 22 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: he's asking you know my name, and you know how 23 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 2: old are you? And how many people in the house 24 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: and all that kind of crap. And he says, what 25 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: do you listen to for music? I said, I listened 26 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: to this to serious radio. After Mark Simone, I go 27 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: to the Grateful Dead channel. Listen to the concert of. 28 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: The day, Grateful Dead channel, Oh. 29 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: My god, yeah, grateful my buddy Bob and San Diego. Yeah. 30 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: But the uh IF. I listened to the Beatle Channel, 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 2: and they got nice channels. I'm serious, like pop and 32 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: country hits. So you got to pop hit, then you 33 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 2: get a country hit from all different decades. But I 34 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: thought it'd be interesting because that's one of the first surveys. 35 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: And I was in radio for twenty five years too, 36 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: but that's the first time I ever got cold about 37 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: a radio survey. And how old are you? How much 38 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: you make? I said, I'm not answering that question, but 39 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: I told him, I said, for two hours every day, 40 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: five days a week, it's wo R Mark Simone from 41 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: ten to noon, and I go listen to Serious. I 42 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: couldn't even tell him the call letters of an FM 43 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: station in South Carolina because I. 44 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: Well, unfortunately nobody's ever heard of the American Survey Company. 45 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell that is or where 46 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: the service. Yeah, well, thanks for mentioning us, Thanks for 47 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 1: thanks for that. Good, good good. I know, yeah, I 48 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: don't know, you know. I mean there's like Nielsen Ratings, 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: and there's uh, what else do we use. There's a 50 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: few rating services that that we use here in radio, 51 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: But I don't know. They've never heard of the American 52 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: Survey Company. You know, people always say when you talk 53 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: about surveys, well, nobody ever asked me, Or when you 54 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: talk about a poll, I don't know about these polls. 55 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 1: Nobody ever pulled me. Well, uh, that's it doesn't matter. 56 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: They pulled somebody like you. If it's a really good poll, 57 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: they've got a representative sample of everybody. And I believe 58 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: it or not, I have been contacted by poles, even 59 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: rating companies. I've been uh, you know, you have to 60 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: tell them you can't do it, you're you know so. 61 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: But I've actually been contacted a few times. Let's go 62 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing? Ah? 63 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: Hi, Mark, here's the I agree with the comedian Robers. 64 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: Foster Brooks of Pennsylvania, go ahead. 65 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I agree with Rob Schneider about the 66 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 3: Nineteenth Amendment. I mean, I think we should allow women 67 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: to vote. Just not unimportant. 68 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: Well that's very open of you. You know, you think 69 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: we should allow women to vote. That would not be 70 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: too controversial. 71 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 3: No, just not on an important thing. 72 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: Oh, just not unimportant talk all right? Phil Foster Brooks Junior, 73 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: thank you for calling. It's hard to believe women were 74 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: not allowed to vote until was it somewhere in the twenties? 75 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? Do you imagine that finally let 76 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: it was controversial to let women vote. Let's go to 77 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: Albert in Keyport, Albert. How you doing? 78 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: What's happened? I usually call sports shows, but you're raped 79 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: by the sports thing and I heard you talking anyway, 80 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 3: Thanks for taking my call. 81 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: What do you call the sports shows about? 82 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: You know, the different guys who play stuff that you know, 83 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: you know, just talk about sports and stuff. I mean, 84 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. 85 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: It's hard to listen to that sports radio. Uh, it's 86 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: just a bunch. 87 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: Of some of them, some of the ones that are 88 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: on right now in the morning, I can't stand them, 89 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? 90 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: But the whole thing. I used to listen to Mike Francessa. 91 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: He was good. He seemed to know all kinds of 92 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: inside stuff that nobody else knew, so that was interesting. 93 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: But outside of that, these sports shows are like, it's 94 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys in a bar arguing about their opinions. 95 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: The one is the one, the ones they got going out. 96 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: They just switched the one thing. They switched their whole routine, 97 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 3: and they messed up the whole thing. They got to 98 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: take us some really ignorant people. It's just I wanted 99 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 3: to say something about thank you for taking a call. 100 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: It's not a calaistic What I often wondered is why 101 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 3: didn't she had twenty four hour guards on that premises 102 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 3: with her mother here being that old. 103 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: Because would think to have it. That's the house she 104 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: grew up in, lived there all her life. There's absolutely 105 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: no crime in the neighborhood, no crime at all. 106 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: They know who she was. Somebody knew who she you know, 107 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 3: evidently they knew who she was and where she was. 108 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 3: It's just she's eighty. It wasn't like she was fifty 109 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: or something. She was eighty four with a pacemaker. I'm 110 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 3: not putting anything on. 111 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: You know, it would be highly unusual. The biggest celebrities 112 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: in the world don't have guards on their mother's house. 113 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: It's just not something. 114 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: Yea, they ought. It's the way it is going now. 115 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: It's the world's so crazy. It's not really that that's 116 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 3: out of the question. 117 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's interesting. You bring up a good point. Well, 118 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Yeah that maybe now some celebrities or 119 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: mother living alone somewhere now they're hiring guards. It's just 120 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, now, did you see this Howard Stern lawsuit? 121 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: Howard Stern had a personal assistant. He's got a few 122 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: of them, but this one was basically working in his 123 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: Southampton house, managing that house. She's now suing him. I 124 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: can't see what she's suing him over. She's she can't 125 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: seem to explain what it is. She claims a hostile 126 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: work environment, but she hasn't explained what was so hostile. 127 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: She was getting two hundred and sixty five thousand a 128 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: year to be the personal assistant. That doesn't seem that hostile, 129 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: she said. She was forced to sign a non disclosure agreement, 130 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: and in the non disclosure she was not allowed to 131 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: reveal anything about what goes on in the household. She 132 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: was not allowed to reveal what they eat, what consumer 133 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: products they use, what their travel arrangements are, where they stay, 134 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: locations of their residents. Well, that makes sense. I can 135 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: understand not wanting somebody to reveal that. So so far, 136 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: I still can't figure out what the lawsuit is over. 137 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: She was not allowed to reveal private conversations they were 138 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: having their political stuff. Well, it makes sense. I would 139 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: think anybody with a celebrity would make somebody sign that. 140 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: So we still can't figure out what this lawsuit is over. 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing. 142 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: Good morning Mark, Good morning Frince. 143 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: How come nobody talks about the base that we lost? 144 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: Wouldn't he the Iranian mission. 145 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: Be easier if we had that base? 146 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: What base? 147 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 2: The base in Afghanistan that the other two gave away. 148 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that we'd need that base. Now. We 149 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: don't need it for any reason. We can do the 150 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: whole thing from here, believe it or not. The bombing 151 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: of the nuclear reactor was all done from Florida. We 152 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: don't need that base. Okay, thanks for calling the problem 153 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: he's talking about. When Biden pulled out of Afghanistan, the 154 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: most embarrassing bungled up military situation in US history. He 155 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: left billions of dollars worth of equipment lying there, all 156 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: sorts of advanced sophisticated weaponry, just left it there, and 157 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: it fell into the hands of our enemies, and Afghanistan 158 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: and terrorist ISIS got a hold of it. The problem 159 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: with that base is China. And that's the problem. That base, 160 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: believe it or not, was very very close to China, 161 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: closer to China than any other base we've got. That's 162 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: one reason we should have kept it. It was about Bagram 163 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: Air Base. But China has probably taken it over it 164 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: they're now using it. And all those weapons that were 165 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: left on the ground and taken fell in the hands 166 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: of ISIS that probably somewhere in Iran and are being 167 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: used against us as we speak, thanks to Joe Biden. Hey, 168 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: the other thing is you'll hear all these people, these 169 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: pannikins who are all upset about the ranning.
