Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is show. I'm sevent ten wo r.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, we 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 jon Dreamer, jered but whatever it is.
But she's from Stamford, very nice looking, beautiful, energetic, great personality.
(00:34):
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, the host
of Wheel of Fortune, what happens if you win a
million dollars?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I may be putting in my two weeks, but we won't.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
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.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You'll have ten seconds to try and solve it.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
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
(01:54):
they do film. 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.
(02:14):
Now they again, they do these Wheel of fortunes months
in advance. So she signed the agreement and she didn't
want to risk losing the million dollars, so she didn't
tell them. He just found out she's one million dollars.
So that's great. She lives. Doesn't say we're in Stanford
Single thirty four could be Harbord point. You got that
look about her. But that's great news. Now let's get
(02:36):
to business news. 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.
(02:57):
No fast food chain has gotten bigger, faster, done better
than Chipotle, 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 a 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
(03:19):
coffee makers and they sold again, it's just a long
counter 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
(03:40):
and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, four hundred stores around
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 location's Upper east Side, Upper West Side, financial district,
Midtown Manhattan right over there, fifty second near sixth, between
(04:02):
six and seven, that one's closing. They were underperforming, but
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, stores closed,
You're fired. That's it, you're going. They'll just literally put
signs in the windows overnight. Didn't tell landlords, didn't tell
(04:26):
building managers. Newmark Retail vice chairman said there 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
(04:47):
mean this guy, I guess you gotta do that. If
you see it, always kind of cold about it. 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
(05:08):
remember those commercials as a kid. Maxwellhouse. They're changing 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
(05:29):
changing the name of the It's going to be called
Maxwell Apartment. This is the there's been one 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,
(05:53):
They're not purchasing full size homes. The coffee giant wants
to reflect that with a rebrand. Two thirds of American
adults drink coffee every day two thirds, Yeah, seventy percent,
seventy five percent, and head of Coffee Marketing said they
(06:15):
tend to be younger, tend to live in apartments. 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 gonna have to change it back.
They're gonna have to go back to the old logo.
The old name, and it's supposed to imply that if
you're drinking Maxwell Apartment, it will help you save more
(06:39):
to buy a house more quickly. What again, just we'll
predict right now it's October, tewod 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
(06:59):
out and hire these marketing companies, they are the dumbest
people who'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 Craig.
The biggest advertising operation there is iHeart. If you're an advertiser,
(07:23):
if you want to advertise, come 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
(07:45):
fix it up, what to say. And we 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
(08:07):
are a lot that are not so hot. Let's 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 one of those 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 he has the highest unfavorabilities. But as soon as
he got a run out of office and he fled
and disgraced 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 mayor'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 could 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.
(10:13):
I mean, listen, 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 him.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
And 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):
Now, you 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 3 (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 to coordinate like Andrew Cuomo has done
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. You want it 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 board where everybody would be appointed by Mamdani.
(12:14):
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. His review board is the final say. Well,
(12:36):
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 fired by this Mamdanni review. And if Mamdani
(12:57):
has the final decision, the one thing about the police
commission at least you know he'll try to stand up
for you. If you watch Blue Bloods, you remember how
many Blue Bloods episodes or the mayor for political reasons
says you got to fire that cop right now, you
got to indict that in The police commissioner says that
he was just doing his job. And if this happens,
(13:18):
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 to stop approaching certain situations because the
person could then sue them, and they weren't covered for
(13:41):
lawsuits by the department. It was 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 rich who's the richest person list? Bloomberg
does a lot of people do the best one Forbes,
that's the most accurate, that's the best one of all.
(14:03):
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 within ten years. Musk
hits five hundred billion. Second place Larry Ellison three hundred
(14:26):
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. 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,
(14:48):
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 cases.
At five hundred billion, can you imagine that you couldn't
spend this if you tried, If you just put it
in the in the in the right fund, it would
generate forty billion a year in interest. Forty billion a year.
(15:13):
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 impossible. You couldn't spend it if
you tried. Hey, 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
This is show. I'm sevent ten wo r.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Well, we a lot to get through this hour. Now

He took it away from them. That's why a lot
of cops had to stop approaching certain situations because the
person could then sue them, and they weren't covered for
(13:41):
lawsuits by the department. It was 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 rich who's the richest person list? Bloomberg

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.
