Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Tom s'all, I'm seventeen.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Wr Well, we got a lot to get through this hour.
Now let's start with Wheel of Fortune. So there's a
woman from Connecticut who's the contestant on Wheel of Fortune.
Her name is Christina d J Dreamer jick but whatever
(00:27):
it is. But she's from Stanford, very nice looking, beautiful, energetic,
great personality. She's thirty four years old, she's engaged. And
last night she won a million dollars. You know, they
have this secret. You open the envelopes, see how much
you want if you get this puzzle. And Ryan Seacrest courses,
(00:48):
the host of Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
What happens if you win a million dollars?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I may be putting in my two weeks, but we
won't tell her that yet. Well, uh, she I thought
it was a pretty easy puzzle. You know, even I
could have solved it. But there was a not too
tough a puzzle and she got it right and she
won a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Living things, that is the category. You'll have ten seconds
to try and solve it. Christina staring at me, good luck,
pack of coyotes.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, so she won a million dollars. Now she is engaged,
and apparently she never told her bo that she won
a million dollars. She kept it from him. Now you
see these headlines, it sounds like something's wrong with this relationship.
Why didn't she tell them? Well, you know they do film.
(01:56):
They record these Wheel of Fortune episodes way way months
in advance, and you're sworn to secrecy. You have to
sign a document and you might not get the million
dollars if you tell anybody. You have to sign this
agreement to keep it secret. And she did. Now they again,
they do these Wheel of fortunes months in advance. So
(02:18):
she signed the agreement and she didn't want to risk
losing the million dollars, so she didn't tell him. He
just found out she's one million dollars. So that's great.
She lives. Doesn't say where in Stanford. Single thirty four
could be Harvard Point. She got that look about her.
But that's great news. Now let's get two Business news.
(02:40):
Business news. All right, I'm not exactly Liz claiming here,
but a couple of things going on. Starbucks is having
real trouble. You know, they were having real trouble. Anyway,
they got rid of the CEO and they brought in
the CEO from Chipotle, which has been booming. No fast
food chain has gotten bigger, faster, done better than Chipotle,
(03:02):
so they got the Chipotle CEO to come over. He
thinks Starbucks needed a lot of change. So if you
notice every time you look at the Starbucks, they've closed
it down for two weeks to rebuild it, and they
all got this different look now. Instead of all these
different cases where they sell mugs and they sell coffee
makers and they sold again, it's just a long counter
(03:22):
and it's just coffee. He also streamlined the menu. Instead
of seventy five things, it's just the twenty most popular,
even the food that condensed it. So he's been doing that.
But apparently they're going to close lots of Starbucks, and
they start doing it without any warning. They're closing hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, four hundred stores around
(03:43):
the country. They're closing dozens right here in New York. Yeah,
fifty four coffee shops Starbucks. Fifty four are closing in
New York, and some in what you would think would
be prime locations Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Financial district,
Midtown Manhattan right over there, fifty second near sixth between
six and seven, that one's closing. They were underperforming, but
(04:06):
they just closed them just like that. You remember how
Starbucks would always tell you what a wonderful company they are,
how they take care of everybody, their employees are like family. Well,
these are closing stores no notice. People show up, the
stores closed, You're fired. That's it, you're gone. They'll just
literally put signs in the windows overnight. Didn't tell landlords,
didn't tell building managers. Newmark Retail vice chairman said there
(04:31):
was no warning, no heads up, and he explains, you know,
retail Tennis will always let you know, well in advance,
they'll reach out to the landlord and to negotiate concessions.
But this was quick. This was instant. It says, underperforming stores.
I mean this guy, I guess you gotta do that.
If you see it, always kind of cold about it.
(04:51):
Underperforming stores got to go. That's it. Now speaking to coffee,
Maxwell House, you know the name Maxwellhouse coffee. It's like
one of the oldest. It's very good coffee, but one
of the oldest. Even if you're eighty years old, you
remember those commercials as a kid. Maxwell House. They're changing
(05:11):
their name this doesn't sound good at all. They must
have hired the marketing team from a cracker barrel. Maxwellhouse
changing the name to Maxwell Apartment. No, I'm not kidding.
They're actually changing the name of the It's going to
be called Maxwell Apartment. This is the there's been one
(05:34):
hundred and thirty three years. One hundred and thirty three
years they were in Maxwell House. Now it's going to
be Maxwell Apartment. They say, we'll have the same taste, aroma, quality,
and ingredients. The rebrand is to represent the reality of
today's consumers. Why nearly a third of Americans are now
renting smaller places. They're not purchasing full size homes. The
(05:56):
coffee giant wants to reflect that with a rebrand. Two
thirds of American and adults drink coffee every day two thirds, yeah,
seventy percent, seventy five percent, and head of Coffee Marketing
said they tend to be younger, tend to live in apartments.
(06:17):
So Maxwell Apartment. That is the dumbest name. And I
get all right, let's just predict right now, this is
the next cracker barrel. They're going to have to change
it back. They're going to have to go back to
the old logo, the old name, and there it's supposed
to imply that if you're drinking Maxwell Apartment, it will
help you save more to buy a house more quickly.
(06:41):
What again, just we'll predict right now it's October two,
by December, by the end of the year, by January first,
the name will have to go back and again this
is the new Cracker Barrel. It's amazing. You know, people,
before you go out and hire these marketing companies, they
(07:02):
are the dumbest people we've ever seen, you know. Here
at iHeart, not just or but we got Power one
O five over, they got Z one hundred, you got
Light FM, you got the biggest radio stations in the world.
Upstairs is the Network where you got Sean Hannity and
Buck and Cley. The biggest advertising operation there is iHeart.
If you're an advertiser, if you want to advertise, come
(07:26):
here because you can reach everybody just on this floor.
All these stations. I think we reach like twenty two
million people every day. Upstairs at the network, I think
they reach twenty eight million people every day. But so
we do advertising all the time, and I can't tell
you how many times. Now, if you come here to advertise.
We'll help you. We'll show you how to word the commercial,
how to fix it up, what to say. And we
(07:47):
do that all the time because these companies come here,
even the big companies with the worst marketing, and you
look at the copy. Who told you to say this?
What's our new marketing company? Watch out for these marketing companies.
They're not always there's a couple of good ones, but
there are a lot that are not so hot. Let's
(08:10):
say Zora and Mam Donnie. Uh, every you know, he's
been very careful last couple of weeks, Mam Donnie has
been extremely cautious answering questions. He dances around these answers. Hey,
by the way, Mam Donnie is Starbucks. Mam Donnie's out
there fighting for the Starbucks baristas. He's doing some kind
(08:30):
of protest or something.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This is a city, and this is a movement that
deserves a mayor who isn't staying at home and calling
billionaires for donations. This is a city, and this is
a movement that deserves a mayor who knows exactly what
a picket line looks like, as well as what a
practice picket looks like.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Who what mayors. Who's staying home calling billionaires, not Curtis,
It's not really Adams, now Adams. Oh, he's talking about Cuomo.
Cuomo actually does that if you're a want of his billionaires.
That's the whole secret of Cuomo. Everybody hates him. The
public hates him. He's creepy, he's weird, public can't stand
(09:07):
and me has the highest unfavorabilities. But as soon as
he got run out of office and he fled in
disgrace from Albany, he descended on Southampton and the Upper
east Side and Palm Beach, and he wooed those billionaires
who are the most starstruck people ever, and he went
to all their dinners and their dinner parties, and uh,
(09:27):
that's how that's where the donations came from. They're all
backing him. And remember that crowd, whoever they back, always loses.
They're always wrong about everything. But that's who he's talking about, then, Mom,
Donnie's talking about picket lines.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
And absolutely the point of this position is to stand
up for the people of the city. And this city
would not be what it is without organized labor, without unions,
ensuring that workers have a dignified life and they deserve
a Mayoro's going to stand with them on the picket line.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Gotta admit he's a good talker. He talks real fast.
You know, if you talk fast, you sound very smart.
When you talk that fast, people think you must know
what you're talking about. How else did you talk that fast?
Then you get Cuomo who talks like this. Now, also,
besides being very careful dancing around questions, he's trying to
he's got a big problem with the anti Semitism. I mean, listen,
(10:14):
let's be honest. This guy is anti Israel, anti Semitic.
He's horrible. But he's trying to be a little more
cautious with.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Him, so to be very very clear, of course I
condemn hamas of course I have called October seventh what
it was, which is a horrific war crime. And of
course my belief in a universality and international law is
also the same set of beliefs that have led me
to describe what's happening in Gaza as a genocide.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah. See, he puts on that very sincere voice, he
talks fast, in that sincere voice, he lowers his tone
and he throws in that of course, I would never
of course I would never. Of course I would never.
He was probably cheering on October seventh. Now here he
is on Trump.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
This is a moment where we have to address the
administration for what it is, which is authoritarian. It's going
to require us to do everything in our power to
fight back, not coordinate like Andrew Cromo's don being on
the phone with Donald Trump, or collaborate like Eric Adams
is done by welcoming ice into the city.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Authoritarian. They love this. He's a fascist. He's authoritarian. Now,
what Donnie is proposing is socialism, which is authoritarian. As
you can get. He has come out with some dangerous positions.
I mean in the past obviously, but even recently. Now
here's another one. A lot of police officials have talked
(11:29):
about this. Mom. Donnie. He's now proposing that he take
power away from the NYPD commissioner and give it to him.
And one place he wants to do that is on discipline.
You know, when an officer has to be disciplined, Mom,
Donnie wants that to no longer be the power of
the police commissioner. It will be the power of the mayor.
(11:49):
This is very dangerous. He wanted to be the police commissioner.
The NYPD's largest union is warning Police Benevolent Association is
warning this is dangerous. Now, what he wants to do
is have the Civilian Complaint Review Board have the final
authority on discipline. Now, the problem there is that's a
(12:10):
board where everybody would be appointed by Mamdani. So on
his Civilian Review Board, it'll all be a cop hating,
crazy left wing kook who hate the cops. You know,
no bail, no jail crest, so they will go after
every cop. Now, what happens if Mamdani gets in and
he does that, he's the final say on the discipline.
(12:31):
His review board is the final say. Well, the damage
will be unbelievable. Police officials have said privately, it'll be
unbelievable what this will do to crime because what will
happen is the policeman or woman will be afraid to
intervene in most situations because they could end up discipline
(12:52):
fired by this Mamdanni review. And if Mamdani has the
final decision, the one thing about the police commission at
least you know you'll try to stand up for you.
If you watch Blue Bloods, you remember how many Blue
Bloods episodes for the mayor for political reasons, says, you
gotta fire that cop right now. You got to indict
that in The police commissioner says that he was just
(13:13):
doing his job. And if this happens, no cop will
will want to approach any situation that's questionable in the street.
They'll have to just let it go. You know, one
thing Cuomo did, he took away the qualified immunity the
cops have, which is protection, legal protection. He took it
away from them. That's why a lot of cops had
(13:35):
to stop approaching certain situations because the person could then
sue them, and they weren't covered for lawsuits by the department.
He could sue them personally. This is what Cuomo did
to them. It's just awful. So a horrible proposal. Hey,
Forbes magazine, you know they do the rich Who's the
(13:56):
Richest Person list? Bloomberg does it. A lot of people
do the best one Forbes, that's the most accurate, that's
the best one of all. Forbes now saying Elon Musk
will be the first person to hit five hundred billion dollars.
He'll be worth half a trillion dollars. That means he'll
be a trillionaire. He'll be the world's first trillionaire probably
(14:18):
within ten years. Musk hits five hundred billion. Second place
Larry Ellison three hundred and fifty billion, which means Musk
can look at this guy with three hundred and fifty
billion and say three hundred and fifty billion, that's nothing.
(14:38):
Zuckerberg in third place two hundred and fifty billion. Jeff
Bezos found it falls to fourth place two hundred and
thirty three billion. You know, if you see a guy
with two three billion dollars, you go, wow, he's a
billion or two three billion. These guys now look at
him like they're a welfare cas whoes aid five hundred billion.
Can you imagine that you couldn't spend this if you tried,
(15:01):
If you just put it in the in the right
in the right fund, it would generate forty billion a
year in interest. Forty billion a year. You could just
live off that. You don't never have to work again.
Just invest this, collect forty billion a year in interest.
You couldn't spend that if you tried, You could not.
It's impossibly you couldn't spend it if you tried. Hey,
(15:24):
we'll take some calls next eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three two
one zero seven ten.

I went away for a few weeks. A few days
I came back and the store was closed, and my
neighbor told me that nobody knew she had spoken. She
had seen a sign. It was basically almost overnight. It
was a sign in the window, and then the next
day they were they were closed, and even the employees
couldn't explain what happened.

You know, Maxwell apartments works very good from Manhattan, but
maybe northern California they just have Maxwell Tents.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Or that's a very good idea and.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
They can do it by different areas, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
All right, thanks for callin. What we're talking about is
it's the stupidest thing since cracker barrel, Maxwell House changing
the name of the car. It's going to be Maxwell Apartment.
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. But I
like that, Jay. I actually make it Maxwell Condo, Maxwell Co.
It doesn't make any sense at all. It's like cracker barrel.
You know the problem is these marketing companies. They all
(19:27):
think you got to change the name, change the logo. Change.
It's all about the product. Let's go to Marlow in
New Jersey. Marlow, how you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Hi, it's Mario here in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Mark.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Hey, listen regarding that Maxwell House saying, do you know
that Missus Dash that's been around for the longest time
is changed in name? It's now just Dash? Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, you can't say missus anymore?
Speaker 7 (19:55):
No, I guess I want to buy some at the
local supermark. A couple of months go looking for Missus
Dash and see and I was confused. Then I saw
Dash and I thought, well, this is the same must
be the same part if update changed.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It, So what is the deal? Miss No time to remember.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
That Dash was actually a detergent years back.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
That's right, Well, maybe miss Missus Dash went trans or something.
She's not a missus anymore. Maybe maybe she's that's true,
maybe it's today now all right, thanks for calling. Yeah,
stop changing the names of everything. Just make it. You
know what, You can hire a marketing company, hire like
the greatest chefs or whatever. Make the product taste better,
(20:35):
make it delicious. If it's delicious, if it's unbelievable, nobody
cares what it's called. Hey, when we come back, Jimmy
Fayla will be with us. Let's talk to him about
everything going on in the world. Next on seven to
ten w o R.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Mister New York marks them upon seven ten w R.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Hey, Jimmy Fayla, the great host. You got to listen
to him every night. He's on w o R every
week night now nine to midnight, excellent show, interesting, funny,
nine to midnight every night, and he does the best
late night show on television every Saturday night, ten pm
on the Fox News Channel. Jimmy Fayla, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
It's better now? I was watching Mom Donnie on the
View this morning.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, Now, I didn't see so.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
The best part is like during the during the View itself,
he's in one of the commercials for The Golden Bachelor.
You know the show The Golden Bachelor, and those actually,
oddly enough, those marriages actually work out the best because
on the Golden Bachelor, till death to at part isn't
his law.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It's like when the twenty two year old get married
on TV, they gotta.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Make it a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
But I'm watching Mom Donnie and he's given his speech
about the Golden Bachelor and giving people the Rose, and
I'm like, wait, this is the guy that supports legalized prostitutions. Yeah,
why are you wasting your time on a gating show?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Well, uh, is that a bad thing? Legalized prostitution?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Well not if he wants to get Bill Clinton's endorsement, but.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That Hey, how are you coping with the government shutdown?
How is it affecting your life? Well, it's not.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
It's not me I worry about. It's you know, there's
a lot of drag shows in Latvia that aren't being
funded right now. I mean, think think of the poor
kids in Iraq that wanted to get out of bed
this morning and watch a transgender sesame street but our
government had to shut down, so now they're not paying
for it, you know, Yeah, to think about the other people.
Mark but the whole thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, when they say non essential, don't you say, wait
a minute, you have non essential workers? Why why are
we paying for that?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
It's such a good it's such a good point. It's like,
you know what, every once in a while you go
over the credit card statement and go like, oh, we
paid twelve ninety nine for this, why are we doing that?
But in the government it's like, we pay twelve billions
for this, why are we doing that? Hey, somebody else
has to look at their master card statement?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry. Oh no, I say, as
a great comedian, could you give Hakeem Jeffries some advice
on how to take a joke. This guy's the biggest
stiff I've ever seen. Oh, I know.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
And it's funny because he's obviously like a karaoke Obama.
You know, he's an Obama comber band. That's totally what
he is. And you know, to Obama's credit, like the
media never gave him a hard time, but he at
least had a bit of a personality. Hakeem Jeffries, it's weird.
He almost reminds me more of Hillary, and that the
(23:38):
octaves in his voice never change, you know, like if
Hillary was the lead singer a Kiss, you'd be like,
I want to rock and roll all night in the
party every day And you're like, wow, you don't sound
that enthusi asked about it Hill, and that's kind of Jefferies.
There's no passion. So he wants to be Obama. But
to Obama's credit, he could at least get out there
(23:58):
and sell you the bs that he was pedaling. Yeah,
nobody buys a king. Like if I was the king, Jeffreys,
I would want Trump to be accenting all of my
videos with mariachi's and hats and mustaches because it gives
them some life, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
And what about Schumer, He's like from nineteen eighty two.
He's just so a relic updated sort of guy.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah. The problem with Schumer is and they Democrats always
give us that speech about how we're the Party of
the youth, and they're like, we're the Party of the
youth this you know, this country needs new blood. From
looking at Schumer, I assume they actually mean new blood
like transfusions. You know. He looks like a villain on
the Simpsons, and I don't ever know what to make
(24:42):
of him. Because there's the problem with being in Washington,
like he's seriously, Schumer's been in Washington since Washington, you
know what I'm saying, And it's like there's not going
to be a position you don't contradict yourself on. So
we've all heard the clips of him in the nineties
in the early aughts being like a legal immigration it's
all a scam for Medica benefits. There's all these illegals.
(25:02):
That's where we can't let him in. And that was
obviously on the complete opposite side of himself. Its every
Democrat could just debate themselves. You can get like a
hologram of like here's you a year ago, and you
can just have that debate.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
And who told Schumer these glasses look good on you,
those big clunky glasses.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Listen, I'm not going to have you insult Schumer's stylist
or his seeing eye dolls.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's not nice. That's what he looks like. Yeah, he
looks like he needs a dog with those glasses. So
uh good. Hey, I'm sure you're thrilled that un week
is over. That was pretty bad, wasn't it. That un General.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Oh Man wasn't the best part though, That macrone had
to get out and walk across town because they had
the one street blocked off, And I was saying on
my show, you know, it's.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
A real slap in the face to.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
A world leader when you got to get out and walk.
But luckily mccron's used to getting slapped in the face
by his wife. Do you remember that playing video She
beat him up on the plane and he had to
get off like it was cool, dude.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
We all thought, man, yeah, I remember the day had
that video Trump and Milania in the fight on the
helicopter they were trying to go after But then the
lip reader said it was Trump yelling at her, so
he wasn't getting slapped around apparently.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
No, no, no, they're not going to beat him up. No,
McCrone looks like he's into it. Let's be honest. He
looks like one of those people I would drive around
in my taxi.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Because that's thing about.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
New York tells you is the traffic's the worst on earth.
But it's also the most lucrative week of the year
if you're a cab driver, because there's a lot of
people that have to get around street closures and get
to embassies and York. They kind of will hire you
for that knowledge. And you know a lot of these
people I'm talking about get paid in singles and wear
very high stiletto heels. You're taking up what I'm putting down. Yes,
(26:50):
And that's the part of you. One week I miss
as a driver is you know you're driving some some
guy in a dress named Cinnabuns over to some embassy
because there's a weirdo element waiting.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That was the point I enjoyed. Well, you haven't driven
in a while. I don't think it's singles anymore, is it.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
No, you're right about that, so it's all kind of hunter.
Biden changed the game. Now was wire transfers coming in
from multiple entities.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Whole New world. Hey, uh, you were a cab driver.
He's not kidding, he was a cab driver. Tell us
the truth. Does the driver want to be stuck in
traffic and run up the meter or does he want
to get the right over fast so you can get
a new fare turnover?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
You want to right you want a faster ride. I'll
tell you the reason why every fair that gets in
you're getting the search charge. And maybe it's at night
you're getting that differential So if you ran the meter
for an hour right now, it might generate eighty two bucks,
but if you turned over four fares, you're going to
be around forty before you even take the ride or
(27:53):
get tipped.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
So unequivocally, you'd rather have four mid length fairs, five
midlength fa in an hour, turnovers your friend, and every
fourth or fifth person uses you as an affordable therapist
if you're outgoing, and tips you extra money. So that happens,
And that was definitely my strategy too. The reason guys
want the long fair, like the airport fair, is at
(28:15):
JFK and the taxi lot there is a massive gambling
ring like for real, for real, what where they play
this pie gal poker game and they like to play
this Middle Eastern domino game I'm not making it up.
And a lot of guys because when you go to JFK,
you wait like an hour and a half for your
next fair, and a lot of guys gamble. It's like
a card game basically, it's you know, it's almost like
a recreational card game, but there's a lot of money
(28:37):
at stake, and anytime you're driving to central taxi at JFK,
if you see that massive lot of cabs. The reason
nobody's in them is half of the guys are exercising,
the other half are gambling. Okay, that's like a thing,
and it's a funny, you know, it's a recreational thing,
but it's pretty funny. It's like the new OTB. Instead
of off track gambling, we have off road gambling.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
That's actually fascinating. But why would why would as a driver,
why would you everyone to sit and do nothing for
an hour and a half when you could be doing
twelve fars?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Well, okay, because the thing is that JFK fair that
that you take back is usually pretty lucrative, and it's
for some guys drive. They exclusively do hotels and airports.
What I mean is they have a guy at a hotel.
They have a guy to hotel that they give twenty
bucks to at the beginning of the shift, who's going
to give them the first airport fair? Then they're gonna
(29:24):
wait and come back to that same hotel when they
drop off. And the reason they do that is it
actually minimizes the amount of driving in a shift and
the money is comparable, meaning they might not always make
as much some day as they'll make more depending on
who they're dropping off at the hotel. But the big
thing is it's just highway back and forth as opposed
to the vehicular combat that I'm engaging in across town
(29:47):
for twelve hours a day.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
This is actually fascinating stuff. There's a book in here,
or a Netflix documentary or something in this somewhere.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
This one, well, it won't be Netflix because I'm not
trans but if I decide to make a move.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Well but great. Hey, Jimmy Faylor, what's on the tonight
show at nine o'clock?
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Here?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It's all coming up.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
We got Steve Hilton, he's gonna be the next governor
of California. And my wife, Jenny Fayala making a rare
in studio appearance. She's trying to have an intervention with
me based on some things that have happened on the
TV show in the last week and a half. I
don't know what that means. She just said she's showing
up as standards and practices, So I don't know what
that means. I might be single this time tomorrow. No,
(30:28):
no's I think she's great. You've got like your own
joy Philpman there, it's great. Yeah, she's is, she's got
she's got real chops, and she does, thankfully, she does
have a sense of humor. And everybody's always like, oh,
how did you get her? And I'm like, what do
you mean? Women don't want to marry an overweight cab
driver who has no health insurance?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And it was a buckie forty grand Come on man
well nine to midnight every weeknight, nine to midnight on
w OR. It's a great show. And make sure you
watch him Saturday nights at and I think it's the
best late night show on television Saturday nights ten o'clock
Fox News Channel. I love that show. Jimmy Fayla, thanks
(31:07):
for being with us. You're the man. Marco Soon all right,
take care, Hey, don't forget Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. Right
after this show, they'll be here right after the news
at noon on seven to ten WOR.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Now more Mark Simone on seven Tenry.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
So it's the day today, October second. It's the second
day of October. Now, it's actually where in autumn it's fall.
Doesn't feel like it's beautiful and sunny out and it's
gonna be a really nice weekend. Remember last week I
said this will be like the last summer weekend. I
take that back. This will be like the last summer weekend.
It's gonna be near eighty and bright sunshine Saturday and Sunday.
It's going to be a beautiful weekend. Daylight Saving Time
(31:50):
is not that far away, Evan as far as ending,
like going back to standard time, that's gonna be well,
not good, not good. But now tomorrow eleven am looks
like that might be the next vote on the shutdown.
Government is shut down. I keep mentioning that because nobody
would notice. Otherwise who would notice? But it looks like
tomorrow eleven am something could happen. Even Democrats, I think
(32:14):
they've come to realize. Schumer Hakeem Jeffries the two biggest stiffs,
the worst faces you could put on this, the worst representatives.
The messaging from them is just absolutely awful. It's not working.
Republicans and got their act together as far as messaging solidarity,
So they may cave in tomorrow on the shutdown. If not,
(32:36):
it'll probably end over the weekend. That should be the
end of it. Hey Yankees tonight, right, Yeah, somehow the
Yankees won last night. The series now tied tonight is
the deciding game, six o'clock. Everybody should be watching that
Yankees tonight at six. Anyway, we're out of time. I'll
be back tomorrow ten to noon. Tomorrow's Friday. That's the
(32:56):
good news too. I'll be back tomorrow ten to noon.
And remember you can also listen to the show and
get the podcast here at any time you want. But
I'll talk to you tomorrow on seven ten. Woir
This is Tom s'all, I'm seventeen.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Wr Well, we got a lot to get through this hour.
Now let's start with Wheel of Fortune. So there's a
woman from Connecticut who's the contestant on Wheel of Fortune.
Her name is Christina d J Dreamer jick but whatever
(00:27):
it is. But she's from Stanford, very nice looking, beautiful, energetic,
great personality. She's thirty four years old, she's engaged. And
last night she won a million dollars. You know, they
have this secret. You open the envelopes, see how much
you want if you get this puzzle. And Ryan Seacrest courses,
(00:48):
the host of Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
What happens if you win a million dollars?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I may be putting in my two weeks, but we
won't tell her that yet. Well, uh, she I thought
it was a pretty easy puzzle. You know, even I
could have solved it. But there was a not too
tough a puzzle and she got it right and she
won a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Living things, that is the category. You'll have ten seconds
to try and solve it. Christina staring at me, good luck,
pack of coyotes.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, so she won a million dollars. Now she is engaged,
and apparently she never told her bo that she won
a million dollars. She kept it from him. Now you
see these headlines, it sounds like something's wrong with this relationship.
Why didn't she tell them? Well, you know they do film.
(01:56):
They record these Wheel of Fortune episodes way way months
in advance, and you're sworn to secrecy. You have to
sign a document and you might not get the million
dollars if you tell anybody. You have to sign this
agreement to keep it secret. And she did. Now they again,
they do these Wheel of fortunes months in advance. So
(02:18):
she signed the agreement and she didn't want to risk
losing the million dollars, so she didn't tell him. He
just found out she's one million dollars. So that's great.
She lives. Doesn't say where in Stanford. Single thirty four
could be Harvard Point. She got that look about her.
But that's great news. Now let's get two Business news.
(02:40):
Business news. All right, I'm not exactly Liz claiming here,
but a couple of things going on. Starbucks is having
real trouble. You know, they were having real trouble. Anyway,
they got rid of the CEO and they brought in
the CEO from Chipotle, which has been booming. No fast
food chain has gotten bigger, faster, done better than Chipotle,
(03:02):
so they got the Chipotle CEO to come over. He
thinks Starbucks needed a lot of change. So if you
notice every time you look at the Starbucks, they've closed
it down for two weeks to rebuild it, and they
all got this different look now. Instead of all these
different cases where they sell mugs and they sell coffee
makers and they sold again, it's just a long counter
(03:22):
and it's just coffee. He also streamlined the menu. Instead
of seventy five things, it's just the twenty most popular,
even the food that condensed it. So he's been doing that.
But apparently they're going to close lots of Starbucks, and
they start doing it without any warning. They're closing hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, four hundred stores around
(03:43):
the country. They're closing dozens right here in New York. Yeah,
fifty four coffee shops Starbucks. Fifty four are closing in
New York, and some in what you would think would
be prime locations Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Financial district,
Midtown Manhattan right over there, fifty second near sixth between
six and seven, that one's closing. They were underperforming, but
(04:06):
they just closed them just like that. You remember how
Starbucks would always tell you what a wonderful company they are,
how they take care of everybody, their employees are like family. Well,
these are closing stores no notice. People show up, the
stores closed, You're fired. That's it, you're gone. They'll just
literally put signs in the windows overnight. Didn't tell landlords,
didn't tell building managers. Newmark Retail vice chairman said there
(04:31):
was no warning, no heads up, and he explains, you know,
retail Tennis will always let you know, well in advance,
they'll reach out to the landlord and to negotiate concessions.
But this was quick. This was instant. It says, underperforming stores.
I mean this guy, I guess you gotta do that.
If you see it, always kind of cold about it.
(04:51):
Underperforming stores got to go. That's it. Now speaking to coffee,
Maxwell House, you know the name Maxwellhouse coffee. It's like
one of the oldest. It's very good coffee, but one
of the oldest. Even if you're eighty years old, you
remember those commercials as a kid. Maxwell House. They're changing
(05:11):
their name this doesn't sound good at all. They must
have hired the marketing team from a cracker barrel. Maxwellhouse
changing the name to Maxwell Apartment. No, I'm not kidding.
They're actually changing the name of the It's going to
be called Maxwell Apartment. This is the there's been one
(05:34):
hundred and thirty three years. One hundred and thirty three
years they were in Maxwell House. Now it's going to
be Maxwell Apartment. They say, we'll have the same taste, aroma, quality,
and ingredients. The rebrand is to represent the reality of
today's consumers. Why nearly a third of Americans are now
renting smaller places. They're not purchasing full size homes. The
(05:56):
coffee giant wants to reflect that with a rebrand. Two
thirds of American and adults drink coffee every day two thirds, yeah,
seventy percent, seventy five percent, and head of Coffee Marketing
said they tend to be younger, tend to live in apartments.
(06:17):
So Maxwell Apartment. That is the dumbest name. And I
get all right, let's just predict right now, this is
the next cracker barrel. They're going to have to change
it back. They're going to have to go back to
the old logo, the old name, and there it's supposed
to imply that if you're drinking Maxwell Apartment, it will
help you save more to buy a house more quickly.
(06:41):
What again, just we'll predict right now it's October two,
by December, by the end of the year, by January first,
the name will have to go back and again this
is the new Cracker Barrel. It's amazing. You know, people,
before you go out and hire these marketing companies, they
(07:02):
are the dumbest people we've ever seen, you know. Here
at iHeart, not just or but we got Power one
O five over, they got Z one hundred, you got
Light FM, you got the biggest radio stations in the world.
Upstairs is the Network where you got Sean Hannity and
Buck and Cley. The biggest advertising operation there is iHeart.
If you're an advertiser, if you want to advertise, come
(07:26):
here because you can reach everybody just on this floor.
All these stations. I think we reach like twenty two
million people every day. Upstairs at the network, I think
they reach twenty eight million people every day. But so
we do advertising all the time, and I can't tell
you how many times. Now, if you come here to advertise.
We'll help you. We'll show you how to word the commercial,
how to fix it up, what to say. And we
(07:47):
do that all the time because these companies come here,
even the big companies with the worst marketing, and you
look at the copy. Who told you to say this?
What's our new marketing company? Watch out for these marketing companies.
They're not always there's a couple of good ones, but
there are a lot that are not so hot. Let's
(08:10):
say Zora and Mam Donnie. Uh, every you know, he's
been very careful last couple of weeks, Mam Donnie has
been extremely cautious answering questions. He dances around these answers. Hey,
by the way, Mam Donnie is Starbucks. Mam Donnie's out
there fighting for the Starbucks baristas. He's doing some kind
(08:30):
of protest or something.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This is a city, and this is a movement that
deserves a mayor who isn't staying at home and calling
billionaires for donations. This is a city, and this is
a movement that deserves a mayor who knows exactly what
a picket line looks like, as well as what a
practice picket looks like.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Who what mayors. Who's staying home calling billionaires, not Curtis,
It's not really Adams, now Adams. Oh, he's talking about Cuomo.
Cuomo actually does that if you're a want of his billionaires.
That's the whole secret of Cuomo. Everybody hates him. The
public hates him. He's creepy, he's weird, public can't stand
(09:07):
and me has the highest unfavorabilities. But as soon as
he got run out of office and he fled in
disgrace from Albany, he descended on Southampton and the Upper
east Side and Palm Beach, and he wooed those billionaires
who are the most starstruck people ever, and he went
to all their dinners and their dinner parties, and uh,
(09:27):
that's how that's where the donations came from. They're all
backing him. And remember that crowd, whoever they back, always loses.
They're always wrong about everything. But that's who he's talking about, then, Mom,
Donnie's talking about picket lines.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
And absolutely the point of this position is to stand
up for the people of the city. And this city
would not be what it is without organized labor, without unions,
ensuring that workers have a dignified life and they deserve
a Mayoro's going to stand with them on the picket line.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Gotta admit he's a good talker. He talks real fast.
You know, if you talk fast, you sound very smart.
When you talk that fast, people think you must know
what you're talking about. How else did you talk that fast?
Then you get Cuomo who talks like this. Now, also,
besides being very careful dancing around questions, he's trying to
he's got a big problem with the anti Semitism. I mean, listen,
(10:14):
let's be honest. This guy is anti Israel, anti Semitic.
He's horrible. But he's trying to be a little more
cautious with.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Him, so to be very very clear, of course I
condemn hamas of course I have called October seventh what
it was, which is a horrific war crime. And of
course my belief in a universality and international law is
also the same set of beliefs that have led me
to describe what's happening in Gaza as a genocide.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah. See, he puts on that very sincere voice, he
talks fast, in that sincere voice, he lowers his tone
and he throws in that of course, I would never
of course I would never. Of course I would never.
He was probably cheering on October seventh. Now here he
is on Trump.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
This is a moment where we have to address the
administration for what it is, which is authoritarian. It's going
to require us to do everything in our power to
fight back, not coordinate like Andrew Cromo's don being on
the phone with Donald Trump, or collaborate like Eric Adams
is done by welcoming ice into the city.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Authoritarian. They love this. He's a fascist. He's authoritarian. Now,
what Donnie is proposing is socialism, which is authoritarian. As
you can get. He has come out with some dangerous positions.
I mean in the past obviously, but even recently. Now
here's another one. A lot of police officials have talked
(11:29):
about this. Mom. Donnie. He's now proposing that he take
power away from the NYPD commissioner and give it to him.
And one place he wants to do that is on discipline.
You know, when an officer has to be disciplined, Mom,
Donnie wants that to no longer be the power of
the police commissioner. It will be the power of the mayor.
(11:49):
This is very dangerous. He wanted to be the police commissioner.
The NYPD's largest union is warning Police Benevolent Association is
warning this is dangerous. Now, what he wants to do
is have the Civilian Complaint Review Board have the final
authority on discipline. Now, the problem there is that's a
(12:10):
board where everybody would be appointed by Mamdani. So on
his Civilian Review Board, it'll all be a cop hating,
crazy left wing kook who hate the cops. You know,
no bail, no jail crest, so they will go after
every cop. Now, what happens if Mamdani gets in and
he does that, he's the final say on the discipline.
(12:31):
His review board is the final say. Well, the damage
will be unbelievable. Police officials have said privately, it'll be
unbelievable what this will do to crime because what will
happen is the policeman or woman will be afraid to
intervene in most situations because they could end up discipline
(12:52):
fired by this Mamdanni review. And if Mamdani has the
final decision, the one thing about the police commission at
least you know you'll try to stand up for you.
If you watch Blue Bloods, you remember how many Blue
Bloods episodes for the mayor for political reasons, says, you
gotta fire that cop right now. You got to indict
that in The police commissioner says that he was just
(13:13):
doing his job. And if this happens, no cop will
will want to approach any situation that's questionable in the street.
They'll have to just let it go. You know, one
thing Cuomo did, he took away the qualified immunity the
cops have, which is protection, legal protection. He took it
away from them. That's why a lot of cops had
(13:35):
to stop approaching certain situations because the person could then
sue them, and they weren't covered for lawsuits by the department.
He could sue them personally. This is what Cuomo did
to them. It's just awful. So a horrible proposal. Hey,
Forbes magazine, you know they do the rich Who's the
(13:56):
Richest Person list? Bloomberg does it. A lot of people
do the best one Forbes, that's the most accurate, that's
the best one of all. Forbes now saying Elon Musk
will be the first person to hit five hundred billion dollars.
He'll be worth half a trillion dollars. That means he'll
be a trillionaire. He'll be the world's first trillionaire probably
(14:18):
within ten years. Musk hits five hundred billion. Second place
Larry Ellison three hundred and fifty billion, which means Musk
can look at this guy with three hundred and fifty
billion and say three hundred and fifty billion, that's nothing.
(14:38):
Zuckerberg in third place two hundred and fifty billion. Jeff
Bezos found it falls to fourth place two hundred and
thirty three billion. You know, if you see a guy
with two three billion dollars, you go, wow, he's a
billion or two three billion. These guys now look at
him like they're a welfare cas whoes aid five hundred billion.
Can you imagine that you couldn't spend this if you tried,
(15:01):
If you just put it in the in the right
in the right fund, it would generate forty billion a
year in interest. Forty billion a year. You could just
live off that. You don't never have to work again.
Just invest this, collect forty billion a year in interest.
You couldn't spend that if you tried, You could not.
It's impossibly you couldn't spend it if you tried. Hey,
(15:24):
we'll take some calls next eight hundred three two one

Oh it's gone, it's gone.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
I went away for a few weeks. A few days
I came back and the store was closed, and my
neighbor told me that nobody knew she had spoken. She
had seen a sign. It was basically almost overnight. It
was a sign in the window, and then the next
day they were they were closed, and even the employees
couldn't explain what happened.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Did you ever run into Yeah? Did you ever run

you know, spas and then realatuors okay, and you know
and Chapa Claw was it was a chain and we
have everything else is individually owned except for there's a

next year thing.

maybe northern California they just have Maxwell Tents.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Or that's a very good idea and.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
They can do it by different areas, you know.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
All right, thanks for callin. What we're talking about is
it's the stupidest thing since cracker barrel, Maxwell House changing
the name of the car. It's going to be Maxwell Apartment.
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. But I
like that, Jay. I actually make it Maxwell Condo, Maxwell Co.
It doesn't make any sense at all. It's like cracker barrel.
You know the problem is these marketing companies. They all
(19:27):
think you got to change the name, change the logo. Change.
It's all about the product. Let's go to Marlow in
New Jersey. Marlow, how you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (19:36):
Hi, it's Mario here in New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Mark.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Hey, listen regarding that Maxwell House saying, do you know
that Missus Dash that's been around for the longest time
is changed in name? It's now just Dash? Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Okay, you can't say missus anymore?
Speaker 7 (19:55):
No, I guess I want to buy some at the
local supermark. A couple of months go looking for Missus
Dash and see and I was confused. Then I saw
Dash and I thought, well, this is the same must
be the same part if update changed.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
It, So what is the deal? Miss No time to remember.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
That Dash was actually a detergent years back.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
That's right, Well, maybe miss Missus Dash went trans or something.
She's not a missus anymore. Maybe maybe she's that's true,
maybe it's today now all right, thanks for calling. Yeah,
stop changing the names of everything. Just make it. You
know what, You can hire a marketing company, hire like
the greatest chefs or whatever. Make the product taste better,
(20:35):
make it delicious. If it's delicious, if it's unbelievable, nobody
cares what it's called. Hey, when we come back, Jimmy
Fayla will be with us. Let's talk to him about
everything going on in the world. Next on seven to
ten w o R.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Mister New York marks them upon seven ten w R.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Hey, Jimmy Fayla, the great host. You got to listen
to him every night. He's on w o R every
week night now nine to midnight, excellent show, interesting, funny,
nine to midnight every night, and he does the best
late night show on television every Saturday night, ten pm
on the Fox News Channel. Jimmy Fayla, how you doing?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
It's better now? I was watching Mom Donnie on the
View this morning.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, Now, I didn't see so.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
The best part is like during the during the View itself,
he's in one of the commercials for The Golden Bachelor.
You know the show The Golden Bachelor, and those actually,
oddly enough, those marriages actually work out the best because
on the Golden Bachelor, till death to at part isn't
his law.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
It's like when the twenty two year old get married
on TV, they gotta.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Make it a long time.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
But I'm watching Mom Donnie and he's given his speech
about the Golden Bachelor and giving people the Rose, and
I'm like, wait, this is the guy that supports legalized prostitutions. Yeah,
why are you wasting your time on a gating show?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Well, uh, is that a bad thing? Legalized prostitution?
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Well not if he wants to get Bill Clinton's endorsement, but.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That Hey, how are you coping with the government shutdown?
How is it affecting your life? Well, it's not.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
It's not me I worry about. It's you know, there's
a lot of drag shows in Latvia that aren't being
funded right now. I mean, think think of the poor
kids in Iraq that wanted to get out of bed
this morning and watch a transgender sesame street but our
government had to shut down, so now they're not paying
for it, you know, Yeah, to think about the other people.
Mark but the whole thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, when they say non essential, don't you say, wait
a minute, you have non essential workers? Why why are
we paying for that?
Speaker 3 (22:49):
It's such a good it's such a good point. It's like,
you know what, every once in a while you go
over the credit card statement and go like, oh, we
paid twelve ninety nine for this, why are we doing that?
But in the government it's like, we pay twelve billions
for this, why are we doing that? Hey, somebody else
has to look at their master card statement?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry. Oh no, I say, as
a great comedian, could you give Hakeem Jeffries some advice
on how to take a joke. This guy's the biggest
stiff I've ever seen. Oh, I know.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
And it's funny because he's obviously like a karaoke Obama.
You know, he's an Obama comber band. That's totally what
he is. And you know, to Obama's credit, like the
media never gave him a hard time, but he at
least had a bit of a personality. Hakeem Jeffries, it's weird.
He almost reminds me more of Hillary, and that the
(23:38):
octaves in his voice never change, you know, like if
Hillary was the lead singer a Kiss, you'd be like,
I want to rock and roll all night in the
party every day And you're like, wow, you don't sound
that enthusi asked about it Hill, and that's kind of Jefferies.
There's no passion. So he wants to be Obama. But
to Obama's credit, he could at least get out there
(23:58):
and sell you the bs that he was pedaling. Yeah,
nobody buys a king. Like if I was the king, Jeffreys,
I would want Trump to be accenting all of my
videos with mariachi's and hats and mustaches because it gives
them some life, you know.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
And what about Schumer, He's like from nineteen eighty two.
He's just so a relic updated sort of guy.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Yeah. The problem with Schumer is and they Democrats always
give us that speech about how we're the Party of
the youth, and they're like, we're the Party of the
youth this you know, this country needs new blood. From
looking at Schumer, I assume they actually mean new blood
like transfusions. You know. He looks like a villain on
the Simpsons, and I don't ever know what to make
(24:42):
of him. Because there's the problem with being in Washington,
like he's seriously, Schumer's been in Washington since Washington, you
know what I'm saying, And it's like there's not going
to be a position you don't contradict yourself on. So
we've all heard the clips of him in the nineties
in the early aughts being like a legal immigration it's
all a scam for Medica benefits. There's all these illegals.
(25:02):
That's where we can't let him in. And that was
obviously on the complete opposite side of himself. Its every
Democrat could just debate themselves. You can get like a
hologram of like here's you a year ago, and you
can just have that debate.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
And who told Schumer these glasses look good on you,
those big clunky glasses.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Listen, I'm not going to have you insult Schumer's stylist
or his seeing eye dolls.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's not nice. That's what he looks like. Yeah, he
looks like he needs a dog with those glasses. So
uh good. Hey, I'm sure you're thrilled that un week
is over. That was pretty bad, wasn't it. That un General.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Oh Man wasn't the best part though, That macrone had
to get out and walk across town because they had
the one street blocked off, And I was saying on
my show, you know, it's.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
A real slap in the face to.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
A world leader when you got to get out and walk.
But luckily mccron's used to getting slapped in the face
by his wife. Do you remember that playing video She
beat him up on the plane and he had to
get off like it was cool, dude.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
We all thought, man, yeah, I remember the day had
that video Trump and Milania in the fight on the
helicopter they were trying to go after But then the
lip reader said it was Trump yelling at her, so
he wasn't getting slapped around apparently.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
No, no, no, they're not going to beat him up. No,
McCrone looks like he's into it. Let's be honest. He
looks like one of those people I would drive around
in my taxi.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Because that's thing about.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
New York tells you is the traffic's the worst on earth.
But it's also the most lucrative week of the year
if you're a cab driver, because there's a lot of
people that have to get around street closures and get
to embassies and York. They kind of will hire you
for that knowledge. And you know a lot of these
people I'm talking about get paid in singles and wear
very high stiletto heels. You're taking up what I'm putting down. Yes,
(26:50):
And that's the part of you. One week I miss
as a driver is you know you're driving some some
guy in a dress named Cinnabuns over to some embassy
because there's a weirdo element waiting.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
That was the point I enjoyed. Well, you haven't driven
in a while. I don't think it's singles anymore, is it.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
No, you're right about that, so it's all kind of hunter.
Biden changed the game. Now was wire transfers coming in
from multiple entities.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Whole New world. Hey, uh, you were a cab driver.
He's not kidding, he was a cab driver. Tell us
the truth. Does the driver want to be stuck in
traffic and run up the meter or does he want
to get the right over fast so you can get
a new fare turnover?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
You want to right you want a faster ride. I'll
tell you the reason why every fair that gets in
you're getting the search charge. And maybe it's at night
you're getting that differential So if you ran the meter
for an hour right now, it might generate eighty two bucks,
but if you turned over four fares, you're going to
be around forty before you even take the ride or
(27:53):
get tipped.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
So unequivocally, you'd rather have four mid length fairs, five
midlength fa in an hour, turnovers your friend, and every
fourth or fifth person uses you as an affordable therapist
if you're outgoing, and tips you extra money. So that happens,
And that was definitely my strategy too. The reason guys
want the long fair, like the airport fair, is at
(28:15):
JFK and the taxi lot there is a massive gambling
ring like for real, for real, what where they play
this pie gal poker game and they like to play
this Middle Eastern domino game I'm not making it up.
And a lot of guys because when you go to JFK,
you wait like an hour and a half for your
next fair, and a lot of guys gamble. It's like
a card game basically, it's you know, it's almost like
a recreational card game, but there's a lot of money
(28:37):
at stake, and anytime you're driving to central taxi at JFK,
if you see that massive lot of cabs. The reason
nobody's in them is half of the guys are exercising,
the other half are gambling. Okay, that's like a thing,
and it's a funny, you know, it's a recreational thing,
but it's pretty funny. It's like the new OTB. Instead
of off track gambling, we have off road gambling.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
That's actually fascinating. But why would why would as a driver,
why would you everyone to sit and do nothing for
an hour and a half when you could be doing
twelve fars?
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Well, okay, because the thing is that JFK fair that
that you take back is usually pretty lucrative, and it's
for some guys drive. They exclusively do hotels and airports.
What I mean is they have a guy at a hotel.
They have a guy to hotel that they give twenty
bucks to at the beginning of the shift, who's going
to give them the first airport fair? Then they're gonna
(29:24):
wait and come back to that same hotel when they
drop off. And the reason they do that is it
actually minimizes the amount of driving in a shift and
the money is comparable, meaning they might not always make
as much some day as they'll make more depending on
who they're dropping off at the hotel. But the big
thing is it's just highway back and forth as opposed
to the vehicular combat that I'm engaging in across town
(29:47):
for twelve hours a day.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
This is actually fascinating stuff. There's a book in here,
or a Netflix documentary or something in this somewhere.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
This one, well, it won't be Netflix because I'm not
trans but if I decide to make a move.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Well but great. Hey, Jimmy Faylor, what's on the tonight
show at nine o'clock?
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Here?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
It's all coming up.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
We got Steve Hilton, he's gonna be the next governor
of California. And my wife, Jenny Fayala making a rare
in studio appearance. She's trying to have an intervention with
me based on some things that have happened on the
TV show in the last week and a half. I
don't know what that means. She just said she's showing
up as standards and practices, So I don't know what
that means. I might be single this time tomorrow. No,
(30:28):
no's I think she's great. You've got like your own
joy Philpman there, it's great. Yeah, she's is, she's got
she's got real chops, and she does, thankfully, she does
have a sense of humor. And everybody's always like, oh,
how did you get her? And I'm like, what do
you mean? Women don't want to marry an overweight cab
driver who has no health insurance?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And it was a buckie forty grand Come on man
well nine to midnight every weeknight, nine to midnight on
w OR. It's a great show. And make sure you
watch him Saturday nights at and I think it's the
best late night show on television Saturday nights ten o'clock
Fox News Channel. I love that show. Jimmy Fayla, thanks
(31:07):
for being with us. You're the man. Marco Soon all right,
take care, Hey, don't forget Buck Sexton, Clay Travis. Right
after this show, they'll be here right after the news
at noon on seven to ten WOR.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Now more Mark Simone on seven Tenry.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
So it's the day today, October second. It's the second
day of October. Now, it's actually where in autumn it's fall.
Doesn't feel like it's beautiful and sunny out and it's
gonna be a really nice weekend. Remember last week I
said this will be like the last summer weekend. I
take that back. This will be like the last summer weekend.
It's gonna be near eighty and bright sunshine Saturday and Sunday.
It's going to be a beautiful weekend. Daylight Saving Time
(31:50):
is not that far away, Evan as far as ending,
like going back to standard time, that's gonna be well,
not good, not good. But now tomorrow eleven am looks
like that might be the next vote on the shutdown.
Government is shut down. I keep mentioning that because nobody
would notice. Otherwise who would notice? But it looks like
tomorrow eleven am something could happen. Even Democrats, I think
(32:14):
they've come to realize. Schumer Hakeem Jeffries the two biggest stiffs,
the worst faces you could put on this, the worst representatives.
The messaging from them is just absolutely awful. It's not working.
Republicans and got their act together as far as messaging solidarity,
So they may cave in tomorrow on the shutdown. If not,
(32:36):
it'll probably end over the weekend. That should be the
end of it. Hey Yankees tonight, right, Yeah, somehow the
Yankees won last night. The series now tied tonight is
the deciding game, six o'clock. Everybody should be watching that
Yankees tonight at six. Anyway, we're out of time. I'll
be back tomorrow ten to noon. Tomorrow's Friday. That's the
(32:56):
good news too. I'll be back tomorrow ten to noon.
And remember you can also listen to the show and
get the podcast here at any time you want. But
I'll talk to you tomorrow on seven ten. Woir

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
