Speaker 1 (00:01):

WR Heydiction calls eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Is the number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

(00:21):
Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Good morning, Mark, and happy birthday to the Chairman of
the board.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
One hundred and ten today, one hundred and ten.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
One hundred and ten years young.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
You know you mentioned Jackie Vernon recently and it was
it rang a bell because I remember you used to
do this.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Bit, you know, with he'd have the clicker. Here I
am on my summer vacation.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah, for those who are Jackie Vernon was a comedian
back in the sixties, very popular and he was a
very boring guy. That was his act that he was
the most boring quiet and he'd say hello exactly, hello friends,
and he would do a like a slideshow with a
click and he goes right. But it was a very
boring guy. Now, this thing came out the other day
that he had like twelve families, nine thousand women.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
He was a corralser, but I saw, you know, he
was on Sullivan and Sullivan. People may forget he had
the greatest comedians week after week on from you know,
the ordinary Jackie Varnings, but he knows Myron Cohen and
Alan King and Joan Rivers and John Byner and Sandy
Barron and two guys like London Lee and Stanley Myron Handleman.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know, there I go past. But also, like he
did with rock and roll, he was quite cutting edge.
He would have a young Richard Pryor on and all
those guys were on site.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Exactly before Carson became the place for comedians to get
make their name, Sullivan was light years ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
No, it was quite a show. It was done right
over there at what's now unfortunately the uh Stephen Colbert Theater,
but that was the Ed Sullivan Theater for years. And
when you went on there, forty to fifty million think
about this, forty or fifty million people would be watching.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
It was unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
And like the Carson desk, if he called you over,
you know and shook your hand, that was you know
the next day you were headlining in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, and it was quite a show. Everybody used to
tell me about doing that. George Carlin had a whole routine.
You went to the deli next door, you got like
a six pack of beer. You took it there because
you'd be there the whole day. You'd do a dress rehearsal,
then you'd do a dress rehearsal for the audience, then
you take a break, then you come back and do
the show. So you do it like three times in
one day. Well, Mike grell As always, thanks for calling.

(02:35):
Let's go to Steve and bed sty Steve, how you.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Doing happy and healthy? Mark?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Thanks?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I had a suggestion days. It'll be a year since
we lost Dobrina Kouam on the f line. Are you
familiar with these still?

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Who are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Dabrina Kuwam, the woman who was burned alive by the
Guatemala and the legal immigrant.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Yeah, yeah she was. It was a woman who and
illegal was here a nut and set her on fire
right on the subway platform there. So it's one year.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Are you familiar with that station?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Which station is it?

Speaker 4 (03:14):
It's still will Avenue terminal. Do you know the station?
You've been there?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
No, it's in Brooklyn, right by Nathan's. I've never been
on the subway outside of Manhattan. I only take it at.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Manhattan, one hundred feet away from where she was killed,
right in the center of the dome on the overpass.
It's an open space twelve x thirty six that would
make a perfect place for a stage, so that they
can play music under that dome.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's it was a terrible, terrible situation. I think you're
getting a little carried away with this. It's a terrible
terrible situation. Instead of worrying about that, let's worry about
doing something to patrol these subways. We need more protection there,
although it's gotten better. We need Curtis, the Guardian Angels,
we need the police, we need everything there. Uh wait,

(04:06):
I take that back. I did take the subway once
to the Barclay Center once, but otherwise just Manhattan. Let's
go to lou and Queens Lou.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
How you doing, hey, Mark, I want to comment on Venezuela.
You were absolutely right. I want to bring up something.
They gave no coverage to the great escape of Maria Machado,
who of course was elected first to become the president
of Venezuela. It wasn't to happen. She now had, you know,

(04:36):
was escaping to receive the Nobel Prize winner for being
the opposition leader there. Why didn't she get any coverage?
It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Well, do the math. She's a big Trump supporter. She
shared her Nobel prize with Donald Trump. She likes Trump.
She's the good of Venezuelan leader, the one currently there.
Maduro is the crooked, corrupt. So guess guess who the
fake news is defending. Guess which one promoting? Take it again.

(05:04):
Maduro is supporting Iranian oil, He's supporting the drug cartel.
Guess which one NBC likes, The one who wants to
clean up Venezuela, the woman who likes Trump. Now they're
not supporting her. There behind Maduro, the one with the
drug cartels, the narco terrorist boats, the illegal tankers shipping

(05:25):
Iranian oil to China, Cuba. That's the one there backing.
That's the way they are. So you got to remember,
it's all emotion democrats. It's very childish. They just get emotional.
Ever they hate, they go crazy, and it's always double standard.
Whatever they go after Trump for doing, you find out

(05:46):
Biden did it four thousand times, Obama did it nine
thousand times. It doesn't matter to them. Hey, you remember
when remember they dropped some illegals in Martha's vineyard. It
was DeSantis. Remember he sent a planeloading, just dropped these
illegals one morning, All these illegal aliens Martha's vineyard. What
are the Democrats there do? They called the National Guard,

(06:07):
had them deported immediately, no due process at all, just
Adam deported. Adam sent the hell out of there. Hey,
when we come back, Howie Carr, we'll be with us.
We'll talk to him next on seven to ten wor
