Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now back to the Mark Simo show on woor.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Aaron
in Indianapolis erin how you doing, good.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Morning, Mark? Speaking of Andrew Pomo, would it be possible
to replace him with Perry Como?
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Well, that'd be great if for those of you under
eighty five, Perry Como was one of the greatest television
stars ever. He was a great singer, but the biggest star,
biggest variety show in the late fifties early so he
was a big, very nice guy. Lived at Long Island
Sands Point. And you remember Perry Como? Are you a
(00:46):
fan of his?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
I was from walking him on TV with my dad.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Oh, okay, so that while you're from back then, actually
remember I'm trying to remember. Yeah. It was was at
a party. I'm standing there with Joe Namath and Matilda
Cuomo comes over, wife of Mario, and says hello to me,
and I introduced her. I said, Joe Namath, this is
Matilda Cuomo. I swear to God. And he says, your
(01:16):
husband was the greatest singer ever. I said, no, no, Cuomo,
Quoma not como. But she laughed, she said, I get
that a lot. Let's go to uh Rich in Myrtle Beach, Rich,
How you doing pretty good?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Just sitting around the pool. Finally got the sleep of
the windows open last night. We got a nice little
cool snap down here. We finally got a trade of
Joe's opened up this past Tuesday as well, so everybody
was excited. It wasn't it u, No, that was quite out.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
It's Myrtle Beach. It's like also in any suburb if
anything opens, they line up for one hundred miles. They
get all excited about anything. If you opened something, you
could open a trader Joe's right here, fifty sixth Street,
everyody go what the hell away? But in the suburbs
they will line.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Up well, lined up around the block, get poor and
rain on Tuesday morning. It was hysterical. It wasn't it
the Channel four that screwed Curtis last year in the debate.
Did he make any preps to have certain rules that
he's allowed to speak more than thirty seconds this time around?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, that's a good point. Channel four rigged the mayoral
debate last time. He early allowed a thirty second answer,
which of course is not enough time to give a
full answer, and they were trying to protect Eric Adams.
They thought he wouldn't be too articulate. And then the
whole second section yes or no answer only, which is idiotic.
It's just preposterous to have yes or no answers in
the debate.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
And hous Curtis made any kind of points or any
kind of you demands on how the debate's supposed to
be run.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, if you'll recall, he was on the show a
couple weeks so I said all this to him. He said, yeah,
I'll be taking care of him, so I'm sure he will.
I'm sure he will. Actually, I think they're always trying
to help, knowing Channel four, they always trying to help
the Democrats. So, mom, Donnie's a very articulate guy. He
has no problem in to debate. So I'm sure they'll
loosen up the rules, let people actually talk this time.
(02:58):
And Cuomo is terrible a debate, you know, Mom donne.
He's a fast talker. He talks like this and he
sounds like he knows what he's talking about. And Curtis
is a professional debate for thirty years. Cuomo talks so
slow that compared to these two guys, he's gonna look
ridiculous in this debate. Let's go to Jay in New Jersey. Jay,
how you doing?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah? He Mark?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
You know about the sombreros. I just think that you
know what's great about that, you know, is that is
that the Democrats, just like you know, when Kamala Harris
and Hillary Quinton put on fake accidents, if if Deem
Jefferies were to court the Hispanic vote, he would probably
put on a sombrero, the same way they chose Tim
(03:40):
Wall to appeal to men's So this this joke has
a lot of truth to it, and I don't think
they realize you that that it does.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, well, the whole fight is over paying for illegal
aliens health care. That's why the Mexican stuff. But again,
the Democrats invented this sombrero stuff. They did it to Trump.
They called it Taco Trump. They started these means all this,
and but Trump does you know, you can start trolling Trump,
but he's better at trolling than you are. Now, the
argument is, it's a president United States. He should not
(04:08):
be making silly jokes like this with memes. And I
don't know, I don't know We're in a different world now.
I mean, it is kind of WWE kind of a presidency,
but it's twenty twenty five. You're in a different world now.
He's not Eisenhower, he's not Harry Truman. He's he's a
modern day guy. Let's go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim,
(04:28):
how you doing, Mark?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Speaking of the Yankees. You don't have they got the
name the New York Yankees. No, well, they were the
turn of the last century. They were the New York
Highlanders because they played way up in Manhattan. Yeah, and
circa nineteen twelve nineteen thirteen, in the off season they
would go down south and play exhibition games. Now we're
still very wrang. This is less than fifty years after
(04:53):
the Civil War. So the residents would down they would say, oh,
here come those Yankees from the North. They changed the
names of the Yanks.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's actually a very good story, very good.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh thanks, Mark, have a good weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Thanks for calling. Yeah. Well, yeah, they still they all
go south for obviously spring training and Florida and Arizona
and all those places. So playoffs begin, first game Yankees
Toronto tomorrow afternoon, four o'clock. Now, remember it used to
be when did the season end? It was like October second,
(05:27):
the season would end always that was it final. And
then the World Series is start like October fourth for
one week and that was the World Series. Now you
got a division playoff, section playoff of this playoff that playoff.
Remember they used to call Reggie mister October because he
had really hit in the World Series. Mister October. That
(05:48):
doesn't mean anything anymore, you know, it's mister November. Now
they have to actually change the name. So and it's
hard to believe we're already in the postseason. But hey,
when we come back, doctor Arthur Perry will be with us,
the great plastic surgeon. I think, is he coming in person?
We love the guy and it's always good. Yeah, he's
(06:09):
coming in person. Yeah. I don't like when they come
in person.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
For first of all, I mean, I love the guy.
He's a great plastic surgeon. But when he's looking at you,
you can tell he's looking at you, going huh, I
could fix that. Oh, look at that. I need to
fix that. They just look at the wader. It's like
the contractor when he looks at your house, he wants
to fix everything in there, so we'll talk to him next.
If you got any plastic surgery questions or things you
always wanted to know but didn't want to be seen asking,
(06:37):
we'll do it next on seven to ten wor
Now back to the Mark Simo show on woor.

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.
