The Beret is back.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Curtis Sleepwa guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven
ten WOO. As promised to the phones, we go because
it's your turn to be heard here at seven ten
w pam in Pattison, New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Thanks for joining us, then thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
And you probably remember me from the past and I
missed Nancy's Animal Hour. Also, you and I have something
in common from that other station called All Day Bullying Callers.
The person who's on one to five in the morning
weekdays spent three out of the four hours mocking me
(00:47):
because I rescue cats and calling it a psychopathy. There
were a couple people who defended me. Your name was
mentioned in vain as a cat person who's you know,
we all have psycho copathy and there's something wrong with
us and we don't like people. This coming from a
person who has no children and no pets. Interesting, well interesting,
(01:11):
And I did not appreciate it because I was one
of the people responsible for helping that station get on
its feet.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh no, no, I know, Ben, but I know you're
talking about Lionet.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
He's not alone.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Look, the President of the United States in the middle
of the mayoral campaign that he should have stayed out
of decided to chastise me and my wife Nancy for
rescuing cats like so many others listening here in the
Tri State area and throughout the world on the Worldwide
Net seven war, who are going to be euthanized in shelters?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Oh, this is a bad thing.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Well, I guess Mahatma Gandhi was a bad person, right,
who said a society that does not take care of
its animals does not take care of its people. Look obvious,
emotionally disturb people everywhere, Homeless people, no way to go
for Christmas in the holidays other than the subways and
parks and streets. And they want to make fun of
(02:13):
people who rescue animals. That's the President of the United
States in this case. She was referring to Lionel others
at Greg Kelly over at w ABC. Same thing, same thing.
Interesting little update. The incoming mayor Zoron Mandami. His wife
(02:35):
has been a bit of an enigma. The incoming first lady.
Her name is Rama, She's an artist from like Bushwick.
She's going to have a cat at Gracie Mansion. I
had no idea that Zoron was allergic to cats. But
in order to satisfy the desire of his wife, he's
going to take the shots because he would have an
(02:57):
allergy with the cat.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
President in Gracy Man. Good thing.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You don't hear anybody attacking him. Of course not they
attack him for other things. But oh, if the worst
thing we ever did in the world was to rescue.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Animals in need.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
These people hate animals and that's what they do. Need
to look at the Pew Research study last year.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Check it out right now.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
If I would ask Crash, I wouldn't even have to
google a chat cheet.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
He would conjure it right up.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
So ninety seven percent of Americans, whether they voted for Trump,
voted for Harris, so they don't vote now view their
pets as family members, as people ninety seven percent.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
So let them make fun.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Of people who rescue animals in distress or people in
distress who are homeless or emotionally disturbed, because, let's face it,
they have self centered iron me in many instances, miserable lives.
We will be talking to animal rescuer rescuer Nancy in
(04:15):
the upcoming hour. Let's go to Stuart, who's calling from
the Lower East Side. The East village, your turn to
be heard here at seven ten w R.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Thank you. Myn was Stu Pardon the voice and World
Trade Center and one of those idiots that ran in
the wrong direction to help that day, and thank God
for the World Trade Center helped registry. But I just
want to say one, I love animals, and to bid
they don't have a shot for an incoming mayor that
wantsn't handle cats stole. He also likes New York Jews.
(04:51):
They don't have a shot for that too. Bet You
I've met three times. I've always liked you. I voted
for you twice. You would have been the best man
of the city ahead. And I hate what they did
at ABC. I can't listen to the station. I hate betrayal.
I hate what they did to you. I can't even
listen to him when that.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
One, No, no, you don't. You don't have to. You
don't have to.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
You may not have been listening to seven to ten
WOR for a long time.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Now.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
You have a friend of your own. Fact, when Nancy
joins me in the next hour, what we used to
do is for the holidays, we would come on ere
and tend to all the shut ins and people at
no one. You know, these times of year for them
can be the most miserable times.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Of the year.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
While others are enjoying family and friends. There are a
lot of people they don't have family and friends who
are either available to them or are no longer around.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
And we used to talk directly to them for.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Hours and hours and hours.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Let's go to if we can.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Anita, who is calling from Maspith, turn to be heard
here at seven to ten, wor Anita, how you doing?
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Curtis? I love listening to you on the radio now
and even more to actually speak to you in person.
I want you to know on my property and on
my block, I had all the vote for Curtis signs
and I have a theory that I would like to
ask your opinion on. When I heard Greg Kelly and
(06:27):
sid Rosenberg tell us to vote for Como, inside my
body I kept saying, what if they had said vote
for Curtis or wouldn't you I believe then have become
our mayor. Now if they would have talked in that vein.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
No, I would have had a much better shadow.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
We'll tell you this so I will be traveling with
my wife Nancy to visit her side of the family.
We'll be up in Capitol Land, Albany, Renzalier, Troy, and
we'll be going her mom and her stepdad's house in Pennsylvania,
so we'll be on the road. I have it on
pretty good authority. I have to check it out in
(07:08):
Capitol Land while I'm there. That Republican leadership through Congresswoman
Elised Stephonic under the bus yep.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Again on behalf of a Democrat.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That grifter Kathy Hoko who you saw in New York
City yesterday basically having a love fest with Eric Adams
swagger man with no plan.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Maybe she's going to give him a.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Parade through the canyony heroes just to get him the
hell out of here.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Do you know where he was?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
He traveled at our expense to Israel, Uzbekistan that he
can't even find on a map, Mexico, and now we
find out he went to Georgia and not Atlanta, Georgia,
the country the home of Joe Stalin. He was in
Tubilisi for a grand opening of a five star hotel,
probably getting line dined in pocket line man. I can't
(08:04):
wait till we are finished with a guy who for
four years pimped our ride at tax payers expense, blumbing
up in the bullpen. The best thing that ever happened
to me. Animal lover extraordinaire my wife Nancy, who will
(08:26):

hour as she is getting ready for our trip to
family members and friends who out to try state area.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
