1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Then now the Guardian Angel of talk radio is here.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: Curtis Leewah guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: tenor oh god, it's crucinating music hit you know, since

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: this is my final hour substitution for Mark Simon. By

5
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: the way, smooth operator, Mark Simone, based on what I

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: last said as we went out on the top of

7
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: the hour, when you go and talk radio from doing

8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: talk TV to talk radio, you're always a disaster. But

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: if you go from talk radio to do TV, your success.

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Look at Mark Simone. He made the transition and the

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: rock rabbed all American Conservative voice sub region from Franklin Square,

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: Long Island, Sean Hannity Radio first and TV. It's different.

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: It's totally different. And you don't hear many talk show hostesses.

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: Now if in this season of You, you must refer

15
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: to me as I identify myself today, he is he?

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: So I could be a he she? They right, Let's

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: just say I felt like a woman today and I

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: was a female hostess talk show. Why would I want

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: to sound like all the guys? Why would I want

20
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: to sound like an echo chamber of all the guys

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: reading from the same talking points? You would need to

22
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: break out a tribute to one of the greatest of

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: all time, Lynn Samuels, Oh eclectic as she was WABC

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: WBAI also the producer and phone screener for Matt Drudge,

25
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: another great talk show host who was driven out of

26
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: the business at WABC because he just wanted to do

27
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: Sunday nights. Did a great job. Oh no, you gotta

28
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: do five days a week. Guess what he didn't want

29
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: to do that They try to make him do it wrong.

30
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: They lost a great talk show hosts ship. Who has

31
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: h it come a bit of an enigma of late,

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: But I don't even put that aside. Great talk to

33
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: your hosts. And that's how Mark Levin got his break

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: to be on five days a week because that was

35
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the five days for Matt Drudge. But Lynn

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: Samuels was eclectic. Remember a theme song too, beg you

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: didn't come in with that fat bottom girls by Queen

38
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: I remember that. I mean she lived there off the

39
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: number seven training I think was which side of Sunnyside

40
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: she'd come in. She'd be commenting on everything. She leaned left,

41
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: but wasn't predictable. You see, that was the interesting thing

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: about listening to Lynn Samuels that you couldn't predict where

43
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: she would be on any issue. It made you wanna

44
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: listen every day and listen more and more as opposed

45
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: to again, if I listened to a show, I look,

46
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: I know what they're all gonna say, right, you know

47
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: what they're gonna say. What they say today, they're gonna

48
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: say next week, the following week. So whatever's on the

49
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: talking parts they watched our TV, they repeat what they

50
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: on Fox News Channel mon on. But anyway, I had

51
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: to do that tribute. I don't take for granted this

52
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: thing of ours. A lot of people have come before

53
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: all of us in order to pave the way for

54
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: talk radio, and our job should be with everything out

55
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: there that competes with talk radio now is to keep

56
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: this thing of ours alive. And I've been charged with

57
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: that mission by my wife. So you gotta stay tuned

58
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: and see what's gonna be happening. Also going to be

59
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: talking about how this Valentine's Day for the first time ever,

60
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Yes he is. He Guys and gals preferred to go

61
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: to AI dating cafes and celebrate Valentine's Day with their

62
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: favorite their computer with artificial intelligence. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it

63
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: even dominated that holiday. And of course we now must

64
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: talk about the man who beat me Farren Square to

65
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: become mayor, and beat Eric Adams, who wasn't man enough

66
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: to run in a Democratic primary or as an independent.

67
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: He decided to take the money and run and drop out.

68
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: And of course Andrew eviliesquormack zorn my Dami And you know,

69
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: it's hard to paint him down on a lot of things,

70
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: but the hardest is what his theme song is now.

71
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: I remember during the campaign he enjoyed singing waving through

72
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: the window from dear Evan Hansen, you know that song. Izzy.

73
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: Of course you don't hey later for that. And then

74
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: he said, oh to Donna, you know I listened to

75
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez, you know, typical politician. He wanted to pay

76
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 1: props to everybody for me. It was straight up chain smokers.

77
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: Don't let me down because a lot of people did.

78
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 1: They didn't vote for me. And then bunt a German

79
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: edm band And today is the greatest day in my life.

80
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: It is every day that I wake up. It should

81
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: be for all of you, even though it's facing You

82
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: could be a curmudgeon, it could be great clouds over

83
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: your head. Everything is not going right. Just to be alive.

84
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: I have so much to be grateful for, so much

85
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: as you know, any of you who know my history,

86
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: And if you don't, all you gotta do is go

87
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: on all the social networking at Facebook and Instagram, at Twitter,

88
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: x your TikTok. I love that every time I hear

89
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: Andrew Evilize cools your run one because the TikTok. No,

90
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: he didn't you jerk, It's because he out hustled you.

91
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, when it comes to musical selection, he's like

92
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: a typical politician. He wants to satisfy everybody. Later on,

93
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about Kurt Cobaine's death. You know, the

94
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: age of grunge rock now, how they're reinvestigating that. They

95
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: never thought it was suicide. Never did think Fortney Love.

96
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: Oh well, hold on, you don't want to go anywhere.

97
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: Think puddle of mud? Huh puddle? Did you ever listen

98
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: to puddle of mud? My wife actually introduced that to

99
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: me just the other day. Great ben never had heard

100
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: of them. You see, every day you learn things. Your

101
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: curiosity should be there. Lincoln Park, the suicide at Chester Bennington,

102
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: he was absolutely spectacular. Three Doors down the death of

103
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 1: Brad Arnold from cancer, kidney cancer at forty seven. That's

104
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: why today is the best day of your life. Look

105
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: how many of them are no longer with us, with

106
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: all the fame, with all the fortune, with everything breaking

107
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: their way, and things happen in life. Let's be happy

108
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: you're alive. I know for some of you you said

109
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: I'd rather be dead. Well for some of you, that's

110
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: because zarn Mandami is the mayor of the City of

111
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: New York. What is he yet? Like forty six forty

112
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: seven days since he was sworn in. There's a number

113
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: one problem with Zoramandami because nobody knows the streets and

114
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: the subways better than me. Collectively. You could have put

115
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: Eric Adams Andrew Cormo's Armandami up on any stage, and

116
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: if we did New York City Jeopardy, you know who

117
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: would have won that game? That would have been me overwhelming.

118
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: They don't really know the city. Joran is on a

119
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: learning curve. He got hit with this super spectacular cold

120
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: snap where the snow turned into ice. It's been three

121
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: weeks and the snow and the ice is still out there.

122
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: How do we know because it's turned yellow because all

123
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: the canines in the world have decided to mark their

124
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: spots on the snow and the ice that still exists.

125
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: But what I want to talk about, specifically with Zarahmandami

126
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: is the horror of what I've experienced, and that is

127
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: the homeless and the emotionally disturbed who in many instances

128
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: were not cared for in this Code blue situation where

129
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: they should have been involuntarily hospitalized, taken off the streets,

130
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: brought to a hospital, or brought to a shelter. And

131
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: by the way, nobody knows more about the shelters than me.

132
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: I've been in about two thirds in them, especially imagine

133
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: dizzy is is he? There are shelters that are called

134
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: MICA shelters for the mentally ill and chemically addicted. Now,

135
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: if you're mentally ill, you think a shelter is the

136
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: place you should be, or maybe a mental health care hospital.

137
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: Hunt because that's like one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

138
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: That's Darwinian. It's survival of the fittest. If you've ever

139
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: been in the shelters, the worst for the single males,

140
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: the single females. Family run shelters generally much better run

141
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: and there are a few shelters where you're allowed to

142
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: bring your pet in. That's good, But the vast majority

143
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: of them, it's chaos. So when I deal with homeless

144
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: people and emotionally disturb people who I've known fear and

145
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: by the way, they didn't just all emerge now because

146
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: of this cold and ice snap and the Arctic weather.

147
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: They've been out there all along. Doblasio did nothing about him.

148
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: It was heightened during the lockdown and pandemic. Eric Adams

149
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: did nothing about the enemy. You spent seven billion dollars

150
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: of all money on migrants, people we didn't even know.

151
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Put them in hotels, right, three squares a day. Write

152
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: your ticket for the homeless and emotionally disturbed, who are

153
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: for the most part are Americans, fellow Americans, and yes, Dizzy,

154
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: the predominant number of them are African Americans. So you

155
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: would have thought somebody like Eric Adams would have said, hey,

156
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: you got to take care of my brothers. Insists not I. Also,

157
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: all these elected officials, they are all into hey, you know, equity, equity, Well,

158
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: how come you don't take how come you don't take

159
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: care of the predominantly black population of homeless and emotionally disturbed,

160
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: many of whom I know on a first name basis.

161
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: It is bad out there. Ron Stubborn just refused to

162
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: remove them involuntarily, which was the right thing to do,

163
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. You were saying, well, they

164
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: got drop in centers, they finally put out warming buses.

165
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: But he doesn't understand the nature of the population. A

166
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: lot of them are wanderers. They don't want to go

167
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: to shelter. They certainly don't want to go to a

168
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: mental health care hospital. That's why they have to be

169
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: involuntarily committed. People who were deemed to be a danger

170
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: to themselves and everyone else. So I was out there

171
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: with the Guardian Angels still am every day, every night,

172
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: and giving them badly needed supplies. You know those sort

173
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: of like aluminum foil blankets that you get when you

174
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: finish the New York City Marathon, giving that to them

175
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: to sort of water off the cold protein bars. Water.

176
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: They need water because they dehydrate, and when they dehydrate,

177
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: if they have any kind of psychosis or their bipolar disorder,

178
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: or if they're off their medication, whatever it is that

179
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: is mentally ailing them has just enhanced all that more gloves,

180
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: socks hats, sock hats we distribute them and the handwarmers

181
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: very important. Now we're just a volunteer organization. You can

182
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: see what we do. You just go to Guardian Angels.

183
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: You can see all the social networking what we've done.

184
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: When it got most extreme, I would say about seven

185
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: days ago, I now began to run into homeless people

186
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: who were without shoes, both in the streets, the parks,

187
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: in the subways and sub zero freezing weather. I thought, well,

188
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: maybe one person, quite a few of them, and I'd

189
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: have a conversation with them, because I know quite a

190
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: few of them by first name. They've been They've been

191
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: out in the streets and the subways for years. Nobody's

192
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: done anything for them. Hey, Charlie, what happened into your shoes? Well,

193
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: you know Curtis here on the subway. I kept the

194
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: shoes close to me and the stugs came up to me.

195
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Are the homeless people, and they stole my shoes. Hmm,

196
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: stole your shoes sounds like jail. Sounds like what goes

197
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: on in the shelter Darwinian Survival of the Fitters. Another guy,

198
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: he was missing half a foot. It was exposed that

199
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: came from diabetes many years ago. They had to remove

200
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: half his foot. He had a special shoe made, and

201
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: then for his other foot, the regular shoe. They stole

202
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: both those shoes and I posted all of this, and

203
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: then they did it to a woman too. It was

204
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: survival of the fittish Darwinian. The mayor his staff had

205
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: no idea what was going on. Part of the problem

206
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: was he inherited a lot of Eric Adams holdovers who

207
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: did nothing but sabotage his efforts. I mean, that's been

208
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: Eric adams whole goal, sabotage the incoming mayor in terms

209
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: of his learning curve. But he's not a street guy.

210
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: He's not a subway guy, and that was obvious. So

211
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: we will continue to help those who cannot help themselves,

212
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: the forgotten people of New York City. Remember, the mass

213
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: majority of them are American citizens. The mass majority of

214
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: them are African Americans, and many of them are women.

215
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: And they live in the subways, they live in the parks,

216
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: and they live in the streets. That's their home. And

217
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: it's been that way with the Blasio Eric Adams and

218
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: now at the start of Zaran Mandami's run, as Mayor.

219
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, I love this so well. You

220
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: know the buses in the Free York Zoe run said

221
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: the buses would be free. Hey, idiots, any of you

222
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: who are gone to line up for a bus like

223
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: I did the other day at the junction So I

224
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: was going down to the El Caribe, so I had

225
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: to take the Flatbush Avenue bus. You know when No

226
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Straight Avenue meets flat Bush. First off, the lines go

227
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: forever as you get out of the number three train

228
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: and nobody pays the fair nobody. They're all just bum

229
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: rush on the bus. And that's to a main street Flushing.

230
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: I posted that busses back to bed Nobody pays Webster

231
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: Avenue of the bux nobody pays Highland Boulevard and set

232
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: nobody pays. Nobody's paying the bus fare. They say that

233
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: half the bus fares are paid. That's a lie. Just

234
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: ask the bus drivers, Hey, when's the last time anybody

235
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: paid the fare? And they have to stop and think

236
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: our numbers because it is your time to be heard

237
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: here at WABC one eight hundred three two one zero WR.

238
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: That's one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

239
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: Me make sure I get that straight. One eight hundred

240
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten, because my goal is

241
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: to save to our radio and get it back to

242
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,479
Speaker 1: it's an original form, which is taking callers, new callers,

243
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: not the same old fuddy duddy callers that you hear

244
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: every day, and it's predictable what they're gonna say. I

245
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: love you, you love me. It's like an episode of

246
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Barney and make it stimulating again. It all started right here.

247
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: Wr Barry Gray nineteen forty five took a call from

248
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: Woody Herman after playing stacks of wax of Woody Herman's

249
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: great band Classics, and then the suit said you should

250
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: take calls from listeners. That's how this thing of art started.

251
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: And honor of Barry Gray, who began what we now

252
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: call talk radio, which for some has become many podcasts

253
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: because they never take callers. Never do one eight hundred

254
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: three two one zero seven to ten. By the way,

255
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: up next, Valentine's Day with AI has become increasingly more popular.

256
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: Why do it with someone you know when you can

257
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: do it with artificial intelligens who will stroke you to

258
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: the ends of time.
