Inside the last 19 minutes of the Sports Max zone for this Thursday, we are switching to cricket now as day two action in round four of the West Indies championship concluded across three venues a short while ago, well three countries. We begin our recap at Sabina Park where the Jamaica Scorpions are facing the West Indies Academy team, Riccardo Chambers is on location. Yeah, thank you so much Lance and Mariah. Well, it's been another enthralling day of cricket here at Sabina Park, the West Indies Academy taking on the Jamaica Scorpions yesterday's opening day. We had 344 runs scored and 10 wickets taken today. We have we've seen that 306 runs scored and seven wickets taken and the Jamaica Scorpions have batted out an entire day for the first time this campaign, so they will be relatively pleased about that. Let's tell you about the situation of this game. The Jamaica Scorpions resumed their first innings on 20 without loss. Carlos Brown and Kurt McKenzie both on 10 in response to the 324 made by the West Indies Academy in their first innings and the Scorpions getting to 326 for seven at the close of day two. They lead by two runs. They have been led by the captain, Brandon King, who top scored with 77 from 132 deliveries. We'll tell you more about his innings later. Leroy Lug had a well played 64 and then Pete Salmon with some amount of attritional agility getting some 55 none out, made that 60 not out from 157 deliveries and bowling for the West Indies Academy. There was a 3485 for Joshua Bischoff. He bowled 27 overs today in tandem with Ashmead Ned who bowled 28 overs and had won 466 to close the day. Let's quickly get in a word from Joshua Bischoff who had three wickets and three very key wickets as well, including Brandon King and Leroy Lug. He also had Abhije Mansing who is a dangerous customer and Joshua first of all taught me through your performance today and just how tough it was out there for the bowlers. Well it was very tough today. Leroy Lug played a very good innings, Brandon King as well and Pete Salmon at the end so we just had to stick to our plans and just fight it out. How do you find that the pitch is playing? It's very good for Brandon so he just had to vary his pace and just have to stick with it straight through. 326 for seven is what the Scorpions are at this stage, entering day number three. How do you feel about the position of this game? Well I feel very confident in the position that we're in. Just tomorrow we just have to come and wrap up, wrap up the tail, not trying to get and get a very big lead. All the best. Thank you very much. Yeah Joshua Bischoff, there are three 485 from his 27 overs today for the West Indies Academy. Let's get a quick word in with Leroy Lug who scored 64 for the Jamaican Scorpions, Leroy Lug. Very important innings for you today in the Jamaican Scorpions side. Second game this season. Talk to me about the performance. Well I'm pretty pleased with the performance. I just went out there and tried to play straight as possible because the pitch is a good pitch so I was just trying to play straight and play each ball and it's merit. Yeah just before lunch you had an over where you went for a big hit. I think it was off Ashmead Ned. You missed it then you had a word with Brandon King and the next two deliveries, one hit over mid on for four and then the other one through mid wicket and the feelers probably felt they had a slight chance. Talk to me about what the conversation was with your captain. Well King just came down to me and he told me that it's the last over for London so I should just play safe cricket but the ball was there and the field was in so I just took my chances. How do you feel about how you got out getting caught on the long on boundary at a stage where it looked as if you were on course to get a big one? I'm really really disappointed even though no excuses still but I was trying to hit the ball over mid off but the inside edge of the baton went down to long on but I'm really disappointed. You're naturally an aggressive player. How difficult is it to curb that natural instinct and the fact that you also know that you have the ability to clear the ropes? It can be good and it can be bad, kind of difficult but I'm working on it.  Well good knock today and all the best going forward. Thank you very much. Yeah Leroy Lug there for the Jamaica Scorpions getting 64 today. It was a very good innings from Leroy Lug because he put on a 103 run fourth wicket partnership with his captain Brandon King. The Scorpions were in trouble early. They were 67 for three within the first hour of play. They had gotten off to a really good start, a 59 run opening stand between Carlos Brown and Kurt McKenzie. Kurt McKenzie was brilliantly caught by captain Naim Young at extra cover for 29 and then Carlos Brown was third to go when the score was on 67. I want to talk you quickly though through Brandon King's innings because I thought it was an excellent knock one in which the head of selectors for the West Indies Test Team might be pleased at. I think everyone here at Savannah Park would be a little bit disappointed that he didn't go on to make a century. He started out slowly when he was at the wicket with Leroy Lug in that 103 run partnership. He played very responsible cricket. Leroy Lug was the man going and Brandon King was the one willing to rotate strike, pick up the singles and show Leroy Lug had most of the strike. His 50 came up of 95 deliveries and he ended up on 77 from 132 deliveries. So the next 27 runs came up of 37 deliveries. He increased the scoring rate. He would be very disappointed the way he got out looking to hit the ball over mid wicket and got bold of Joshua Bishop. But I thought for the most part it was an extremely responsible knock and if this is what we're to expect from Brandon King going forward in this competition, then yeah, maybe he does have a very good future in Red Bull Cricket. Remember, he's no slouch in Red Bull Cricket. He averages 34.95 coming into this match in first class cricket with three centuries. Today was his 15th first class half century and sadly it was not a fourth for him. Pete Salmon also played a very good knock for the Jamaica Scorpions ending not out. He got a chance when he was on nine. So he took full advantage of that one to give the Scorpions a two run lead at the end of the day. I also quickly have to tell you about German Blackwood who has been having a torrid tournament and maybe it's been even worse for this match. Earlier this week it was announced that he would no longer be the Jamaica Scorpions captain that he would be relieved of those duties. Brandon King took charge coming into this match and Blackwood scored 56 runs in five innings. After his doc today, he went LBW of Kadim Alain and after that doc today, that's 56 runs now in six innings. He had a terrible first day as well, putting down two chances at slip and it's not going well for German Blackwood, the ex-West Indies Red Bull captain looking to get back into the West Indies side at 32 years old and how terrible the season has gone. You just can't see that at the moment unless he does something extremely special from this point on. That's about it from Savannah Park. Then a quick recap of where we are. Jamaica Scorpions 326 for seven having resumed a two on 20 without loss in response to 324 made by the West Indies Academy. The Scorpions lead by two runs, Lance and Mariah. Thanks Ricardo, good to hear from Joshua Bishop and Leroy Lug, some of the top performers in play today. Lug had some experience playing in Barbados for Maple, I think it was a few years ago and getting an opportunity in regional cricket now and trying to grab the opportunity with both hands. Let's head now to Queen's Park over in Trinidad and Tobago where on Webster's on beaten 100, 107 led the TNT Red Force to 103 run first innings lead over the Windwards volcanoes and before the volcanoes batted a second time, Kenneth Denver, the Vincentian Offspinner 5463 as the TNT Red Force scored 294 and replied to the Windwards 191 all out and the Windwards in their second innings now 68 for two. Jeremy Salazzano, the TNT batsman 30, not how it carved PR one for seven so far so the volcanoes trail by 35 runs at the moment. Still in Trinidad at Tobago where the Leewards Hurricanes and the combined campuses and colleges are in action at the Sir Frank Wall Memorial Ground. Kyron Powell's knock of 114 brought the Leewards Hurricanes within 14 runs of the CC's first innings score of 273. So 259 all out the Leewards Hurricanes replying to the 273 there. Romario Graves, the Barbadian Offspinner with 5463 against Kyron Powell's 114 in the combined campuses and colleges in their second innings 76 for three with Sadiq Henry 32 not out and Jeremiah Louis 2 for 16 so far so at Stomps on day two the CCC leading by 90 runs so some good tight cricket Mariah in these matches and good to see some five cricket holes today at the Coolidge Ground. The Guy in the Harpy Eagles 436 so lot. Virasami Permal with a career best first innings 90 against Kemal Roach 2 for 52 and the Barbados pride struggling at 59 for three in reply so a massive total there by the Guy in the Harpy Eagles and drawing their best game of the tournament so far their title defense hasn't been going very well for them but 436 a huge total there and Permal getting runs today 10 short of 100. We spoke of hundreds for Kyron Powell and Tion Webster and a five-quit holds for Romaria Graves and there was a five-quit hole as well for Anderson Phillip yesterday. We spoke about that but there was another five-quit hole today that I'll mention in just a moment but a lot of players applying themselves in this regional 4 day championship and getting among the runs and wickets. Yeah and I'm so happy because we had a lot of half centuries a lot of players although they didn't go on to make the century because you mentioned a couple of them but even Kevin Sinclair that's 72. Kevlon Anderson that 87. I feel like all of this is worth mentioning Lance because you know for quite some time whenever we talk Western cricket we always talk about the problems associated with the batting so for me the bowling I never really worry too much about but it's just a sigh of relief to see them getting runs on their bat looking forward to see some more centuries moving forward. Yeah so Stumps on day two there so Romaria Graves and Kenneth Denver the offspinners that got five-quit holes today we go to break interactive is next on the other side of the break.

Welcome to a live episode of The David Feldman Show. We're coming to you live from QED in Astoria, Queens. What a great place, Astoria. How many of you here, by applause, are from Astoria? Thank you so much for going out of your way to come out and see me. I really appreciate it. I'm so touched. I really want to get the sounds and flavors of Astoria tonight, because we had Jeremiah Tower on the show, the great chef who invented California cuisine. He revolutionized food in America because he taught us to appreciate what's right in front of us. And that's what I'm going to do tonight. We're in Astoria and we're going to celebrate Astoria. The sights, the sounds, the coughs. It's a burkelosus. The people who are dying to see me. It's okay. I love your cough. It's a beautiful cough. Any Greek people here? Big Greek population. Did you know that, ladies and gentlemen? Did you know? I'm sorry? Could you cough a little louder? I didn't hear you. What is your name? Joan Moretti just said that Astoria Queens has the second biggest Greek population next to Athens. In fact, Astoria has so many Greeks. Its real name is Astoria. Astoria. Astoria. Well, it's great to be here. How many of us? Well, Donald Trump is celebrating a hundred days. Well, the Democrats call it a hundred days because we still believe the earth revolves around the sun. One hundred days, one long night. Bill O'Reilly is gone. Don't worry about Bill O'Reilly, Donald Trump just appointed him to be secretary of a woman's interior. Okay, what do you say we start the show? Well, when I announced that I was coming out to Astoria to do the David Feldman show, people went crazy. They could not believe that a big star like David Feldman was coming to Astoria. We had to close off roads. Please welcome the mayor of Astoria. It's great to be here. It's an honor to have David Feldman in this fine neighborhood. Thank you, your honor. You know, we had Jeremiah Tower on the chef who invented California American cuisine farm to table. He has taught me and my listeners that we must celebrate the environment wherever we are. We must taste the wind, smell the scent, taste the herbs. What's in front of us? And that's what we're here tonight in Astoria to accomplish. We want to sample Astoria. We want to smell it. We want to feel it and want to welcome the mayor of Astoria. How long have you been the mayor of Astoria? About five years now. Congratulations. Thank you. I understand you're a Democrat. Yes. And you're about to give me the key to the city of Astoria. Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it the key. I was told it was a key. Well, we basically offer we will... Is there a key? I was told usually when I bring this show to a big city, the mayor usually offers me a key. And I cut a ribbon, and it's David Feldman Day, and there's a framed plaque that I can bring home to my office. I was expecting a key. It's not so much a key. No, no, no. Swag? You can call it swag if you want. We welcome our guest by kissing them. I was told it was a key.  That's what we would do. Is there a key? I was told it was a key. I will kiss you, though. I don't understand. Usually it's like David Feldman Day, a proclamation. I cut a ribbon.  So we're going to kiss on the lips. Am I getting a key? I was told it was a key. Well, we don't have a budget for a physical key. I was told it was a key. Kisses. This is a tradition here in Astoria. The mayor of Astoria, Chris Gerswick, you're telling me that you welcome celebrities by kissing them. Where? On the lips. I was told it was a key. Are you ready to do it? Well, when in Greece, okay.  I was told it was a key. All right, let's try kissing now. Ready? I just want to be honest with you, mayor. This is the first time I've ever kissed a man in the story of Queens. That was fantastic. Yeah. Oh, yes. Okay. Fantastic. All right. Okay. Welcome to Astoria. Thank you. Everything okay? I got I got to get something off my chest. I'm not the mayor of Astoria. There is no mayor of Astoria. It's a neighborhood. It's a part of the borough of Queens and Queens is the part of New York City. Bill de Basio is the mayor of New York City. I'm just a guy. All right. Not getting a key. Enjoy your your stay though. Welcome to Astoria. David Feldman. I'm going to go.  No. Not even a peck on the cheek. Have a great time. Chris Gersbeck. Well, next time I come here, we're going to make sure that Mayor Bill de Blasio sodomizes me because I feel deceived. Our first guest. This is very exciting. He is a local favorite. And you've seen him on Letterman Conan. He hosts Defend Your Movie, a good friend of this shows. Please welcome Sean Donnelly. Hi Sean. I just want to say I am actually the real mayor of Astoria. Okay. All right. Nice to see you. Wow. I am one lucky man. You're the bell of the bull. Not getting a key? Sean Donnelly. I've been trying to get you on the show for a long time. I know. I love your show. Thank you. I love your politics. Oh, yeah. I agree with everything that you say. So I love that's what people want, right? They want to agree with what you're listening to on the radio and TV. Yes. Can you turn the reverb up, Alex? I want this to be as much of an echo chamber as we can possibly. Because we have Bill Dixon coming up later. Pat Dixon. I made him change his name. Actually, there was a Bill Dixon who used to write for my show. Oh, really? Yeah. A very funny guy. Pat Dixon is coming up. The most despised guest I've ever had on the show. Do you get letters? Letters. People cancel their subscriptions. They love them. And my first inclination is good. We have to have them on the show more often. Well, you guys couldn't be more opposite, I feel like. Yeah. Because you guys just talk about politics when he comes on? I try not to. Oh, okay. Yeah. But it's very hard to do, probably. It is. I find that there's a disconnect with certain people. Pat Dixon is one of them. I'm always happy to see him. I think he's brilliant. He's funny. But when it comes to politics, his IQ drops to two. And I don't understand it. I think there's some kind of like physiological, psychological defect. Yeah.  That's what it is. I don't know if he even believes half the stuff that he probably thinks. I like that too. I know Pat for a while. Go on with it. Yeah. I think there's something true about that. I honestly believe that's why I think there's people that something happens in their brains that they go against logic and they go, everybody's thinking this one thing and logic serves this one thing. I'm going to go against it just to be different. Just to be different. Yes. To incite problems, to incite a different point. But I think they're doing it under the guise of, well, I'm doing I have a different point of view. It's just to single yourself out to make yourself more noticeable. But you're literally doing the opposite of logic. That's what's happening with this Trump thing. That's why I don't get it. Like that's why I don't get the whole Trump thing, because it supersedes politics to me. There are people who voted for the guy who agreed that he wasn't qualified for the job. That's bonkers to me. So that's what I think. That's probably what he's doing. Why do you think people would vote for a president who wasn't qualified?  Why would you say, well, you know what?  Let's get on this point.  Yeah. I think what the news tries to make you believe is that it's all these people who felt marginalized for so long, they thought they were being put aside for years and years. But I don't believe that. I think the reason that he won, not to, you know, I feel like this is very brave to say in the middle of New York City, but like the reason that he won is because you had a lot of people that didn't want to vote for a woman. And then you have a lot of people that, it's absolutely true. And if you have a lot of people... Do you believe that? Oh yeah, because I... Well, hang on a minute. We just noticed a woman applauded that, let's ask the people who are evolved. Sorry. I just wanted to push the women away. That's what I do. You're just channeling Pat Dixon earlier on the show. But do you really think that, like Ann Coulter, if she were running, would women vote for her? Who wouldn't vote for Hillary? Is it really sexism? Don't you think that there are Republican women who would vote... I think there's a little bit of everything. I think it's not just that, but I think also I think that when it came to her, I think it was very easy for these people to not get on board with Hillary because of her being a woman. I think that you had a guy who literally wasn't qualified for the job and literally just came out on an interview saying that he thought it would be easier and he misses his old life. That's what he said. That's what he said. Now we're trained to listen to all that and just disregard it because that's just him. And actually there's times where I feel bad for the guy because I don't think he wanted to win. I think he just... I think he did it because Obama made fun of him at the White House Correspondent. I believe that.  Because now that we know him better, doesn't that make sense? Like doesn't that make sense that he would react to that? Like now we know his Twitter and we all know all that, that he saw somebody roasting him that he didn't think should be doing it and he just went right away. That's it! You made my mind up for me. I'm doing it. I'm becoming president! And then he did it. He absolutely did it.  You would love him. Right! Because he hates Mexicans, right? That's why we would love him. Right? Exactly! Yeah, personally I don't think he's charming but anybody who's willing to talk that way about Mexicans is okay with me, right? I will forgive Battable Manners but he hates women. He grabs them without asking for permission. Who is this charmer? No, but I mean the same thing goes with George W. Bush, right? I mean if you met him, I'd want to hang out with him. Yes, absolutely. And that's what everybody says about these guys. I met somebody who was a writer on The Daily Show, I forget the guy's name, and he said that's what he does. That's what he brings all these people in. All these guys that he has all over the news that are defending him, it's because he's known them for years and he just hangs out with them on a personal level. So he's like, no, he's a good guy. It's like, good guy doesn't mean that he can be in charge of nuclear weapons. Do you know what I'm saying? Good guy. It's like, think about your friends. You want them to be president? You know what I'm saying? I love my friends.  I'll hang out with them till I die. But I don't want them to be in charge of healthcare. Do you know what I mean? That's where it boils down to. And because, I think there is a dumbing down that's happened over the years. Put it this way, you ever see a letter that was written in the time of Abraham Lincoln? People had better hand writing back then. Do you ever watch one of those letters? Or a letter from the Civil War, home to a farm kid from the Civil War, home to his girlfriend? He's using like, he's using beyond SAT words. He's using like the, he's like my dearest, he's using the longest word you can use. And think about it now, how people talk now. And that's why people relate to him because he's like, oh, he talks like I talk. That's the other thing. I shouldn't be president either. Like when I watch Trump, I'm like, it's like me being president. It's not like I'm defending myself like, no, no, no, no, he shouldn't be doing that. I could probably pull it off. But he definitely, I shouldn't be president either. So that's what it boils down to, I think. Are you scared? Or are you tired? I'm tired. I'm too tired to be scared. I'm too tired.  That's why I've noticed myself full on ignore it. Like now I won't watch the news for three days. And you miss so much when you do that. You would not watch the news for a couple of, oh my, you go back to it.  That's what's happening. We're dead. The other thing is this, I also, you have to do the fake news thing is not true because there's a lot of news reporting that happens that is absolutely 100% true. But there isn't an element of truth to it because what it is, when you have show business people taking over the news business, they are literally trying to make CNN look like ESPN and it's trying to pull you in visually as well as like sensationally, like where it's like, hey, nuclear war, North Korea, whatever it is.  Like if you watch MSNBC, you would think we're getting into war tomorrow and a nuclear weapon is on its way here. But then what contradicts to this when they go, oh yeah, they tried to do a missile and it failed. And we probably hacked the missile. They didn't have to hack the missile. They just had somebody from the Trump administration press the button. So my thing with that is like, I'm like, you do have to put the news up to blame. Like the fact that the next day after he won, that those networks didn't turn around and go, listen, we failed in reporting things accurately to you and we did not see this coming. And we had poll after poll after poll told us the opposite and we should have done our due diligence more and really understood what the country was and we didn't. The fact there wasn't an apology by any of those networks means that it's all together. It's all one big machine to make you nervous. To make you nervous and to keep the fight going. To keep the fight. There has to be an argument. There's no news unless there's an argument. It can't be a discussion. It can't be a discussion. That's why you have CNN. That's why you have, that's why you have Wolf Blitzer, one of those guys, they bring up nine screens of people talking for, they don't even have nine people on a podcast. You know what I'm saying? Like you can't, why do you have nine people talking about the news in little squares and that's supposed to be reported. It's not reported. It's not reported. It's not reported. It's not. And you kind of have to, you wonder what's going to happen to it. That's what I'm wondering is like, cause I think the only thing, what's the last, the last stronghold of, of objective journalism is what? Newspapers? Yeah. The New York Times. The Washington Post. But even that, you get, gets called out for. Letters to Hustler is, they cover all sides back in front. Yeah. If you let cable news take over the news business, then it's just kind of, you're not going to be able to decide what's for real and what's not. What do you think? Oh, go ahead. Oh, the other thing I wanted to say, I don't know if you know, but did you hear about this? Do you ever hear about now? Do you know, I saw an article about this and then I saw a video piece about it that they've gotten video technology to the point where they can just take a video of you and make it look like you're saying whatever they want to do.  You sound like the lawyer who's defending me in that thing. I can't talk about it, but I'm innocent. So thank you for bringing that up. Of course. We won't need Bill O'Reilly's anymore. No. They can just have robots. They can have robots. They can have, they can have robots. Well, not just the robots like made up people. It's literally you can take some, you can take Hillary Clinton's video. She already has a robot. Ma'am, is that okay? Is it okay that I called Hillary a robot? She has a robot. Hillary is like every HR lady from your office. That's maybe another reason people didn't vote for. That's how she comes off. She does. You feel like you're getting demerits every time she talks. Right. She kind of ran human resources at the White House. She did. Yeah. A woman would come in and say, the president just groped me and now we're going to destroy you, Ma'am, for reporting that. I mean, she really enabled a horrible. Oh, yeah, she did. She did. That is the problem. I did vote for Hillary. And I wanted her in 2008 instead of Obama. Right? I wanted, I wanted Hillary, right? Because I wanted her before Obama because I much rather have a woman than a black guy in the overall. Right? You go right. Right? Women on the evolutionary chart, we put women above black people. It's science. It's phrenology. It's phrenology. It's skull shapes. And I don't want to get into it, but there, I studied phrenology. You wrote the bell curve, didn't you? I wrote the bell curve. I studied phrenology at Heidelberg State. One of those things that goes on top of the head and measures it, remember that? No, I wanted Hillary, but of all the women in all the elections, she had to walk into this trend. Right. Exactly. I mean, it could have been Elizabeth Warren. Yeah. I would have been much happier with Elizabeth Warren. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Just because she's prettier. It was a weird, when he won, it was a weird, if you, if you did not agree with, it was a weird feeling. I was there with the night that he won. I was at the Javits Center. Oh, are you really? Yeah. I was working and we went there to cover the, the victory party. It was just a given. Oh my God. It was a given that she was going to win. And I was already beginning to figure out how to hate her because that's my job.   And can I keep half my shaft? And they didn't find it funny. They did not find it funny, much like this audience. And then as the night wore on, I got darker and darker, really dark and depressing. And then people just were shuffling out. What was happening? There was, you know, I took photographs of women who were there. I took pictures of Andrea Mitchell, a female reporter. They were all really sad. Yeah. And it reminded me of, of Michelle's speech when she went after Trump and talked about what women are constantly putting up with. Yeah. And it was like this collective, oh, this again. Right. Oh, yeah. We're getting screwed again. We're getting screwed again. So it was a great night for me, but I think you went to a strip club, didn't you? I went to a strip club. And I'm trying to do it. I just, you know, put some Harriet Tubman's down in the district. It was great. It just went over to the Trump. I think it was the Hilton. He was at the Hilton. And I took pictures of those people. They are, they are the incredulous problem. They're all drunk. They smell. They're hateful. They are almost as bad as Pat Dixon, who is the most hated guest on the show. The other reason that I think that she didn't win and I really believe this is because she wanted it too bad. I think that's also because she tried hard. I think us not giving it to her was everybody collectively all these people going nerd, would you want to be president since you were a kid? Nerd. I think that was actually part of it. I really did. She may have been overqualified. I think Obama was overqualified. Yeah. I think Obama was too smart to be a president. And I think Hillary, yes, she was overqualified. What do you think about him taking $400,000 from Wall Street to speak from Cantor Fitzgerald? Cantor Fitzgerald, really? Yeah. I think that's kind of, you know, it makes sense to me. I'll tell you why, because he was never, he's not Bernie. He's a corporateist. Yeah. He's not, he was always a Democrat. Like, he was a centrist. He was, I mean, he was like, he had his problems with that stuff. So, I think he's not, he wasn't a financial warrior. He was, you know, he got us, he was, he stayed in wars. He kept us in wars. He put us other places.  So that's whatever. I agree. I agree. But usually when you're no longer president, you have a come to Jesus moment where you kind of, you would hope, you show your true colors. Yeah. Maybe he's showing his true colors. I think as far as like PR goes, they're going to have him donated or something. I can't imagine him coming out of this, especially what's going on now. And not being like, hey, you got to give the money to first responders, because Cantor Fitzgerald. Right. Yeah. They were wiped out. They were wiped out. Can I know in high school? I'm sorry? A kid from high school died. He worked for Cantor Fitzgerald, September 11. In high school he was working for you? No, no, no. I mean, I knew him from high school and he worked for Cantor Fitzgerald in 2001. Oh, really? Yeah, in the building. And they held the whole company I wiped out. That's why his first responders. That's what we were trying to say, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Where were you on 9-11? I was on 65th Street and I didn't realize, I thought it was just, I worked at this place called the Albert Ellis Institute, which was this guy Albert Ellis. And when he died, the times, he was a psychotherapist. The times compared him second to Freud, which is kind of crazy. He was an old... In terms of coke addicts? Yeah, exactly. In terms of groping patients, that's pretty good. And no, no, he was a crazy old guy. I worked in his bookstore. He had a bookstore in the basement. I would sell, send out books. You know what? I wasn't focused. I apologize. I have a joke that I'm pretending to listen to you. So ask me. Ask me where I was. Okay. A 9-11. And then I want to hear about that. Okay, cool. Where were you?  Go ahead. Ask me where I was at 9-11. Where were you at 9-11? I was at Logan Airport going, Oh my God, I forgot to give Muhammad Ata the other box cutter. You did it.   These are people who came to see me who listened to the podcast. I love them. You see why I'm getting a divorce? Do you see why nobody talks to me? I love it. You love it. But if you get too close to me, I'll push you away. These are people who came out of their way to see a taping of the show. What I'm close with now is the mayor of the store. But I want to go back to where I was. So I worked at the Albert Ellis Institute. I sold books for him. The Albert Ellis Institute. Yeah, it's a brown star. It's still there on the 65th Street in Madison. But he was okay at 9-11. He was okay. Yeah, because we were all the way up there. And he's dead. He's dead now. But he died, I think he died like five years ago, a few years ago. And was he a Freudian? No, he invented rationally emotive behavior therapy. Rationally emotive behavior therapy, which basically turned into just yelling at your patients. That's what he did. That's pretty much what it is. But he was the one that's like, you can find a head on. And he was like, I used to hear him yelling from the basement at his patients. So it's kind of like Primal's scream, but it's the doctor screaming at the patients. Exactly. And he didn't want to talk to you unless you were like his intellectual equal or like in his industry. So I used to purposely try to talk to him just so I'd hear what he'd say. Like one time I fixed a doorstop on his door and I go, look, Dr. Ellis, I fixed the doorstop.  What's the guy's name? Albert Ellis. If you look him up, Ellis, Ellis, E-L-L-I-S. Wait, wait, wait, didn't he do like the stages, just trust versus mistrust? He might have. It might be part of RET, rationally emotive therapy. He's famous. He's well known. I know the name, Ellis. Yeah, you do know the name, Ellis. Yeah, they used to bring crazy people to America and put them on Ellis Island. It was an insane assignment. And they would process the people from Ellis Island. And if you were really insane, then they'd let you into New York City. And he was there. He would yell at them for an hour and then you would get to go. Anybody who was rational and wanted to get an education, they would send them back to Europe. That was Ellis Island. And that's how we ended up with Trump. Yeah, first name is Albert. Last name, Ellis. I know the name. You do? Yeah. If you study psychology in school, he's in like the textbooks. I've never studied psychology, but psychology has studied me. I'm sure. Have you ever gone for help? Oh, sure. I've been going for the past four years. I'd be dead if it weren't for therapy. Oh, I love it. I've been in therapy since I was 18 years old.  They kind of hint. They're like divorce attorneys. They want to string it out. I know there's a secret to bedding my mother in the edipal complex. It's very complex. That's actually a pretty good joke.  I don't know what I said. He said it's got to be very complex. It's pretty complex. It's an edipus complex. What kind of therapy do you do? I don't know what type it would be. I just go. It's just psychotherapy. Just it's just pretty straight forward. It's the type where she doesn't tell me anything about her and I just talk the entire time. I feel like I hear about a lot of therapists that get way too involved in their patients' lives. I know nothing about my therapy. Are you Irish Catholic? I am. Yeah. So this is a big deal. What is the difference? You know Irish people. It's a big deal. Really? They don't like therapy? No, no, no, no, no. So they're okay with untreated mental illness. You say. Is that a, is that a, is that, are, you know, we don't want to, I don't traffic in stereotypes, but you are Irish. I am Irish. Right. Irish and American. I'm not going to traffic in ethnic stereotypes, but in your drunken opinion. What in your potato infused brain? What do you think? Do they look down on therapy?  Did Freud say you cannot treat the Irish? Yeah, I think it was Freud. Yeah, it was Freud. Everybody, nobody isn't impenetrable to therapy except for the Irish. That's what he said. Wow. Yeah. It's, why do you think Irish wakes are so fun? Why do I admit what's going on? Why do I love Irish women? Because you like being shitted on them. No, they're so sweet. They're very sweet, but there's a, Irish people are the kings of ignoring the elephant in the room. They're the kings of Irish people in general are just the, are just the masters of, of, of not dealing with whatever issue you have. And I'm a Jew, right? Right. And it's like, give me your, there's an elephant. Let's, let's look at that elephant over there. And then Irish people, okay. So the elephants there, Jews are like, look at that elephant. I'm really worried the elephant's going to understand it. Right. I would feel like, check out his nose. My nose or the elephant? What did you mean by that? No, the idea is make a joke so we don't have to deal with what actually has happened. If you are intermarrying, yes, between me and the elephant. So it makes for a good combination, they say. Irish and Jews, Irish and Jews, it's a good combo. Yeah. That's a big one in Irish and Puerto Ricans. It is. I'm not, we're white, we can't say the word Puerto Ricans are very highly flooded. They like, and they keep it in, but this is a stereotype. Right. It's the Irish keep it in until they punch you. Yeah. If you're an Irish person, you probably punch three walls in your life. I've punched holes in walls. Me too. Yeah.  I'll tell you, don't have it.  This is one of my mottos as you get into your fifties, right, is I will no longer subsidize. This is my motto. I will no longer subsidize dishonesty, incompetence and untreated mental illness. When people misbehave around me, right.  I do not subsidize or tolerate incompetence, dishonesty, or untreated mental illness. That's the healthy way. So you went for therapy for mental illness. What about your dishonesty and incompetence? Are you ever going to deal with that?  Tell everybody who you are. Albert Ellis. When did you fly four years, four years ago? I started therapy. Yeah, four years ago. We have to wrap it up. Yeah. Let's talk about QED. Okay. And why people need to support QED in Astoria. I think because any kind of comedy going on in Queens, I think you need to support. I'm living Queens now. It's a great place. Astoria is a great neighborhood. I met the mayor tonight. That was exciting. And also because I know, I know Cambry very well, and she's awesome. And it's a cool spot because it's a fun neighborhood thing to do. Like people, there's daytime stuff, there's nighttime stuff. It's introducing stand-up comedy to a place that really didn't have much before. And this is a gymnasium. Yes, absolutely. Christian Finnegan, one of the greatest stand-up comics of that time. This is a place where you can experiment. The first thing I thought when we want to do a live podcast, I said, well, we'll do it a QED. Yeah. QED Astoria.com. You take the end train. Yes. All the way out. Ditmar stop. Yep. And you come down and check it out. They got a bunch of cool snacks and drinks and stuff for sale. Come on down. Defend your movie. Defend your movie. It's on iTunes and Google Play and Stitcher. And it's on Laughable. You ever see the Laughable app? No. It's great. You just type in, you download the app, you type in somebody's name, and it'll give you a rundown of all the podcasts they've done. So if you like a particular guest on podcasts, you can just, you can have them all in one spot. You're doing stand-up tonight? I am. I'll be at the comedy stiller tonight. And how was the fire festival? I understand you performed at the fire festival. The fire festival was good. I had three cheese sandwiches and I took a raft back to Miami.  Tell us what the fire festival is. The fire festival is a festival that, Ja Rule, remember the rapper Ja Rule? Where would I be without my baby? That guy, he put on a festival, a music festival with some tech millionaire and all these people paid like thousands of dollars to go and all these celebrities were promoting it on Instagram like Kendall Jenner and all these people. And then people got there and it was literally Gilligan's Island. When they got there, it was like there was no infrastructure. There was no, there was tents that had no beds in them. People were like frantically stealing beds from other tents to get one in their own tent. Wow. And like they canceled the festival on the Thursday that people got there. There's all these news reports coming out that all these bands canceled. So they found out that all these A-listers knew that it was going to be like this. So they were told beforehand, don't come to the island. So it was this whole big mess. If you Google fire festival, you'll find out a lot of stuff. Oh, is it the New York Post? That was the most New York sentence I've ever heard in my life. Read the New York Post. In that lady's voice. Read the New York Post. Sean Donnelly, everybody. Thank you, Sean. Defend your movie. Thank you, buddy. You were great. Thank you so much. One more time for Sean Donnelly. And that was fantastic. Our first guest. Who can follow Sean Donnelly? Other than every comic in New York City. And a little later on, Pat Dixon, the most detested human being in the history of the David Feldman show will be here. But one of the most beloved guests we've had on this show is a very funny comic who hosts a show called My First Time. It's the third week of every month. Here at QED, it's where comics get up and talk about losing their virginity. And she's a great comic. Please welcome Angela Cobb. Hello, Angela Cobb. By the way, can I say one thing? I think it's hysterical that we're supposed to say that Pat Dixon is one of the hateist people because of his politics, because there's so many other reasons to hate him. I think voting for Trump is one of his more redeeming qualities. I just thought that was cute.  Did you know that about him? Yes, I did actually know that about him. At the New York Comedy Club, right?  I was, yeah, I was disappointed about that. I wanted you to... Were you there? No, but I wanted you to show it up. Oh, you wouldn't want? Well, I... What am I? Like somebody who didn't vote for Hillary? Where were you raised? I'm from Long Island originally, Lindbrook. Yeah, but then we moved to Upstate when I was a kid, so I just kept the accent out of pure rebellion.  So I kept it. We're in Upstate? Like near Onianta, like that area? Onianta. Yeah. Where's that? Not too far from Cooperstown. Oh, I know Cooperstown. Yeah. Yeah, it's not too far from Cooperstown. I went to college in Onianta, too. Yeah, so Onianta is not bad. Think about Upstate as like any area where there's a lot of small towns. Like Onianta has two colleges and everybody's fine, and then you go like 15 minutes outside of it, and it's like, oh dear. Like, they don't know. Like you and I would both be considered exotic there. I feel like they'd be like a Jew or a Catholic. Onianta is an old Indian word meeting Onianta. Is that true? And by Indian, I mean Delhi. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. Onianta, and it's near Cooperstown, was baseball invented in Cooperstown? Isn't the big thing like Abner Doubleday invented baseball? Yes. And it was like in, or I took a Native American literature class and Native Americans had an early form of baseball that they played that was much before Abner Doubleday. So it's kind of, I think, a myth that it was invented in Cooperstown. There are a lot of myths. Yeah. That would be a hit and a myth about baseball, right? A hit and a myth. Yeah. They're like, I, we had a, the author of Don't Know Much About History on the show. And I asked him, did we give syphilis to the Indians or did the Indians give syphilis to us? Oh, wow. And they don't know.  Yeah.  No. Well, see, I, as an Italian, see, my whole thing is like, see, to me, being an Italian who's big into Columbus Day, that's like being an Italian who has like, Sinatra in, up in your room. You're an American Italian. You're not a real Italian. You know what I mean?   Well, and he was working for Spain. Yeah, exactly. It was, it was, you know, the Spanish paid him to, to kill the Indians, because it was a hit. Exactly. Exactly. I read Columbus' diaries and he would walk up to the, the Indians. Right. And he'd say, nice teepee you got here. You shame if anything happened to it. What do you got for me? And they gave him tobacco and a potato and syphilis. You do a show where comedians describe losing the virginity. Yes, here at QED, third Wednesday of the month. Yeah.  You know what's funny? I want to say my own is pretty bizarre. Like, I lost my virginity during Hurricane Sandy, so it's kind of hard to top that.  Yeah. So I mean, that's actually why I did the show, because I had an interesting experience and I talked about it a lot in my act. So I was like, well, what can I do here that might be interesting? It was during Hurricane Sandy. Yeah. That was 2012. Yes. Because that's when Christie hugged Obama. Right. So we all did a lot of crazy things. Yes, we did. It was not to Chris Christie. You lost your virginity during or after? No, like during. It was, yeah. The wind was blowing. I mean, we were in an apartment.   It was actually in Astoria. So Astoria is good. You lost your virginity in Astoria? Astoria, yeah. Really? Yeah. But I lived in Brooklyn at the time and everything was okay with my roommates in Brooklyn. Everything was okay where we were. So I didn't, there was no, there was no reason to even feel bad about what was going on because it wasn't like my roommates in Brooklyn were like being flooded. Were you flooded? Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. No, it was good. Do you mind if I ask you about it? Yeah. I talk about it all the time. So as I recall, 2012 would be four and a half years ago. Yeah. And you're coming up on your 30th birthday. Yeah. Not having voted for Trump, I'm pretty sure that would have made you 25 when you lost your virginity because I didn't vote for Trump. I can figure that out. You were 25. Yes. If you were my daughter, I would be okay with that. That would be, I would say, okay, that's good. Good girl. I mean, I would prefer it if you waited until I was dead. But you're not my daughter. Right. No. I have daughters and I, if they want to end a conversation with me, they will talk about their boyfriends. Right. I see what you're saying. I always say, you know what? I want grandchildren. I just don't want to hear how the sausage is made. My dad, my dad is okay with it like on stage. Like he's heard my jokes about Hurricane Sandy and he thinks they're hysterical. But like the minute I start talking about it, like he's like, no, this is your mother. Don't tell me how the sausage is made or what it tasted like. So was Hurricane Sandy? Do you still see him? No, that's what's interesting. It's like we've had a very like complicated relationship. Like I feel like we, we saw each other a little bit after Hurricane Sandy, then he kind of broke it off. And then we tried to stay friends and it got complicated. And then we had saw each other again for a little while a couple of years ago. And now like we just had another fight. So it's a very, he's Italian too. So it's a very like he's- Hey, there's an earthquake in Haiti. Let's have sex. Yeah, right. Exactly. You know what I mean? So, so it's actually kind of like it's both good and painful for me at the same time, the dynamic with the person. Can men and women have sex in America? Because I think this is a screwed up country. I think we're a transactional nation where people confuse love with power, fear and domination. I think we are really screwed up loveless culture where we're all pretending we're dating and we're all pretending we're married, we're all pretending we're in love. And it's all people trying to control one another because we're a sick, diseased, failing country. That's our show. Thank you very much. I had Merrill Marco on the show, great writer. She was saying that it's very hard for men and women to have uncomplicated sex. Okay, we'll see. And I want to know if that's true. Can men and women have sex? And then it's thank you very much. Here's your money. What did you say it was going to cost? Can men and women have sex? I think they can.  Can a man and a woman be friends? That's the question. Can a man and a woman be friends?  Can a man take a woman to Cooperstown just to see where baseball was invented or not invented and can they go you know we're in we're in Cooperstown we're at the Hall of Fame why don't you let me get to first base? Can it be uncomplicated? I think it can be. It can be unc I so he says all right I just want to give you a big wet mayor of Astoria kiss. I think it can be uncomplicated yeah but also you have to consider like are they mutually attracted to each other? Even if they're not mutually attracted. Right see that's where that's an issue already because then it's like you know okay so you gotta have mutual. So they can't have on I maintain that it is impossible for men and women to have anything that involves sex or approaching sex without somebody being disappointed the man the woman the sheep the goat whoever it's somebody is going to end up feeling bad. See again like the only complicated sexual situation I've had has been the guy I lost my virginity to I've had but she said it was uncomplicated. No no that one is complicated. But then you also said it was uncomplicated. I didn't mean okay let me let me I didn't mean I think your generation no that let me tell you something. That one is complicated the rest are complicated.  I don't think it's possible for men and women to just be casual lovers. I think it is but see I don't think sex creates feelings I think that if they're already feelings there it's going to enhance them. I don't think that suddenly like somebody that like I met in a bar let's say we're attracted to each other we go back and we have sex I don't think suddenly I'm going to be in love with that person but like the guy I lost my virginity to I already had feelings for him so it just enhanced those feelings. So you can have sex with somebody without being in love with them yeah okay but it's not gonna be as good as sex with somebody I love in my experience and do you think men fall in love more easily than women no I'm told men fall in love really yes I'm told men confuse the sexual excitement with love oh okay yeah that they're okay so you lost your virginity hurricane sandy the world was falling apart why not so no not necessarily why not like me me and the guy he's another comic I'll say isn't Frank Vignola was who it was he's another comic well I lost my virginity time too yeah there you go yeah by the way this is I'm debuting it on your podcast I've never actually said yeah what don't go oh this is a big deal here guys um and you're in love with him yeah and he's a comic anyway is he married no so anyway he but we were here tonight if I brought him up here tonight this would that would you like you know as the host of a podcast I can marry a couple yeah but he's not interested he's not interested he's not interested no how lucky would he be I know I know I know but anyway what is he blind I know I know maybe all those things let's call him right now that's not do it right now we could do it later I'll talk him in no but he's another comic and but we had already known each other beforehand so we had started like fooling around and hanging out a little bit before hurricane sandy and then we both were on a show um at the underground lounge which is now called some other thing and we went back to his place afterwards to hang out and I don't know about you guys but like we didn't think it was going to be as big a deal as it was like we when people are like oh there's a hurricane coming we were kind of like yeah it's not going to be a big deal so we were you know planning to hang out anyway so we go back to his place you know we had sex and then given everything that happened we ended up spending like three days together just having lots of sex you know wow yeah it was good I mean it was a good way to lose your duty I'm not I have no complaints about you were trapped for three days because of hurricane sandy yeah do you mind if I ask you how many sexual encounters you had oh my god I mean it was a lot um I don't know how it was a lot we had sex a lot definitely because I mean what else are you gonna well you know right yeah uh-huh so FEMA came in yeah it was like rescued you this can't happen this is not cool yeah um no then once it got to whatever I forget I think it went what like Saturday Sunday Monday was that how it happened hurricane sandy does anybody remember I want to say like Monday or Tuesday was like when everything was kind of sort of back to normal right and as once cabs started running again because this was before uber was even popular or anything right this was back in 2012 guys we wanted to make sure he was very concerned he didn't want me to end up in like a gypsy cab or end up like in some cab that was like illegitimate and going on forever so we made sure that like things were okay and cabs were up running again and then he was like okay like you know we'll find you a cab and you know you can go home and all that and he was very like I want to make sure he got home okay you know he was very good about everything so dating yeah men and women in New York City does a man put you in a subway did will he walk you to a subway stop and is that chivalrous because when I was your age before this was before we had subways the idea that was cool you know when I was your age in New York City the idea of having sex with a woman and then you know walking her to a subway stop is so degrading in my mind it makes me hard that would be the ultimate like it's adios does a guy walk you to a subway stop and say goodbye or does he put you in an uber so the guy let's let's go back let's let's backtrack I've had both I've had guys I've had one night stands with me like you know and then I've just left you know it's no big deal or I've had you know like the guy lost my virginity to every time I took a cab he would walk me down you know to the cab and to the cab yeah did he pay for the cab sometimes he'd pay sometimes I'd pay it was sometimes depending on he's a comic too so depending on who had money right okay when you go out yeah with a man is it implicit that the man is going to pay I don't think it's implicit I think is there something awkward when the bill comes does the date have to go a certain way for the man to pick up see I don't think so I actually had an awkward date where he said beforehand he was like how do you want to do this and he mentioned he was like you know so there's no expectations which already I found weird because just because you pay doesn't mean this I don't feel you could pay and then we could just make out and then both of us go home and then maybe see each other again like how significant is making out I think it's very significant I mean I've been told I'm a good kisser because probably because I lost my virginity at 25 that was all I ever did for a long time so I got I got good at it you could be the mayor of a story I could be you go out with a guy there's sexual tension is there tension as to who is going to pick up the tab it's you know is that part of the dynamic I think it's one of those things that just kind of happens naturally do you feel that the shiver the cold people listening at home you'll notice there's a chill that's gone down everybody's back it's because pat dixon has entered the room you missed that by like five minutes like is pat here yeah money so I feel I mean I'll always offer I don't really feel like that makes or breaks the situation like who pays or you know I don't know I don't really get too big into all that stuff I feel like it's like how a person treats you do you feel insulted if the guy pays no I don't feel insulted no you prefer if the man pays I think it depends suppose the man is in his fifties right and he's taking you out it'd be nice suppose you're with a man in his fifties you're having sex he asks you to help him with the penis pump is that eternal I might be intrigued by that actually all right let's plug some gins where are you gonna be third wednesday of every month yes here a curatee story at 9 p.m. is the my first time show you should all come check it out it's I book comics and storytellers they all talk about losing their virginity which yeah it's good gonna be a Broadway comedy club next week I'm there a lot yeah okay you know there's a storm coming tonight you may want to slip into something more comfortable I should get out of here thank you one more time for Angela Cobb well well well well that was this is so great this is this turned out to be fantastic I'm gonna bring up the most despised human being on my podcast I love having him on the show despite the number of subscribers who continue to stop listening because they hate him so much he is undefeated in the roast battles here in New York City I think he's six and oh the number yeah he hosts the New York City crime report which is one of the funniest podcasts out there please welcome my friend Pat Dixon hey good to see you buddy how are you sir I'm great I'm happy to be a superlative in any way Dave the most despised guest I've ever had on this show I mean that's an honor and it's funny because I always try my hardest to be likeable when I come to see you and I guess some people just don't have it how are you I'm okay I spent a lot of time in the woods I'm unshaven and I look like a criminal I look like I could be a subject of one of your reports you do actually yeah you you look very similar to what you look like is not like just your typical criminal you look like some sort of a guy who was on ah so much oxy cotton and ran out that he had to shoot a pharmacist this is a podcast it's audio but I'm wearing a ski cap let's just say you look like shit okay it's the unshavenness really in the ski cap you're right yeah kind of said why would why the ski cap did you have another surgery or something sometimes you have to take that day you know where you just don't uh you just give up and best to do that when you do a live podcast or for the real people I love having you on this show my pleasure I love being on your show as long as we don't talk about politics right it's funny but you're right you know I seem to agree with you on so many things that you say you're the most misogynist feminist I've ever met I'm a liberal so I can just say horribly racist and anti-feminist things and people say it's okay oh yeah not only that you're a jew so you get a whole get to play that jay card you didn't convert to that just for that did you you know I have a theory about Hollywood liberals and then we'll go on boy I do too Hollywood liberals are the personification of hypocrisy their anti-union talk a big game but then when they have to actually do something decent they are incapable of it I am convinced that Hollywood liberals are hateful misanthropes who use the democratic party to indemnify the horror show that is their existence wow that is a mouthful I was gonna say their dicks that's a mouthful you know you make a good point you know all in all and and but they they may be anti-union you know but they've all joined SAG you know like say a guy like me like if I go shoot something which I did recently down in Brooklyn when you go to shoot something you have to join SAG you know and I don't get any benefits for that you know they don't provide benefits unless you make X amount of dollars shooting stuff every year and you know I'm not ashamed to say I don't shoot $30,000 worth of show business crap every year so they suck up the benefits you know so basically I contribute money so that Matthew Perry can go to rehab or something what's happened is people resent the unions because they don't have a union it's not the union's fault that there aren't enough unions we need unions unions have to be brought back only 8% of the economy is unionized yeah I mean like 25% if we could break up Hollywood the same way the unions broke up Detroit you know that we'd be probably a more entertained nation right are you are you anti-union well I'm anti an unskilled worker getting $60 an hour to turn a screw why you know because it makes cars too expensive and then they can't be bought and then the next thing you know your competitors are doing you and then factories are moving overseas that's not why it's not labor costs and healthcare benefits have nothing to do with the cost of a car that's a myth propagated by CEOs who want to cut costs and jack up the stock price so they can cash out their stock options and collect their money in the Cayman Islands you know that well I do now no I'm not the kind of person who sticks to the party line if there's if there's you know a legitimate argument I guess that I'm not I'm I never believe anything somebody just says to me regardless of the you know the I mean let's face it I mean I would never doubt the veracity of your information you know that's a source but yeah everything's bullshit until you google it right so raising the minimum wage to $15 you know that the congressional budget office has shown that it would be a wash when it comes to inflation yeah right well hey I'm not talking about the minimum wage I was talking about Detroit but like I think $15 an hour maybe a good minimum wage I don't know I think that also maybe we should do away with this lifetime health care that Congress has oh yeah yeah and good stuff too dental and everything you know yeah like why why are we paying taxes for those people to go to the doctor you know if we didn't have to pay for all that shit maybe coming up with health care alternatives to this country would be easier you know and like the government does suck we've just celebrated 100 days of Trump yeah boy what a celebration oh it's so nice to love a president who the media loves you know what I mean I love the positive coverage that he gets and it's like I hate to be always cheering for a winner you know but uh you voted for Trump right yeah of course I did just do you think I would vote for Hillary Clinton oh come on I'm not ahead my 50 points you might ask I have hot sauce in my purse you know I mean like she could say the most like tone deaf racist things and get away with it you know and I think that yeah I am surprised that Trump got picked apart as hard as he did Americans like hot sauce she was being interviewed in front on a morning show okay I would know that you just said African-Americans like hot sauce that's a fact is it a fact yes do they like watermelon too how about chicken she was being interviewed she was being interviewed and they asked if she liked her food this is how he handles a point that he doesn't want to deal with by the way they asked her if she likes hot food and she says I have hot sauce in my purse produced the hot sauce and were the black people offended who were interviewed in her no well I'm sure that they didn't interview the ones uh that we're going to say something that you know how that goes it's selective interviewing of course I mean I I've heard from black people who thought that that was fucking ridiculous sure okay let's do the New York City crime report okay you want to do that yes all right well uh I'm actually launching a new podcast actually uh in the very near future and yeah because I'm you know covering New York City crime is fun I'm going to keep doing it no question uh you know I mean like uh there's there's so much humor to be had in it and I might have mentioned this on your show before but they caught why I remember once they caught a child molester in Queens who was Asian and I thought that's an interesting thing you know because like it shows you can do anything in this country uh really you know and and that's not expected behavior you know I mean it's not an Asian stereotype you know and and uh really I thought how come there's not more Asian child molesters you never see them and I think it might be because their candy tastes like shrimp hard to get a kid in the van you know when you have prawn candy it's a shrimp on the bag it's like I'm not interested in that you know I think you'd have better luck offering dick at that point actually it's like hang on some dick why would you be more upset about an Asian child molester the fact that he's molesting your kid or he's in a van being driven by him right that's the real danger is the accident they're going to have on the way back to his hideout I apologize I that was I hate to try are we we have to wrap it up what we just got here all right that's I'm I'm sorry I have to apologize for uh being uh so so late here what happened yeah uh well you know I mean as you know uh I've been married it's now for uh a year and a half be two years in November and uh you know so this is a rare thing but I met a girl that I really hit it off with on the way I gotta take advantage of this my wife's out of town and uh no it's not you really did vote for Trump no I'm not uh the last thing I would do is commit adultery uh no I I um I dropped my phone down into the subway but that happened to me yeah and and I was and I was gonna immediately go down and and grab it you know and uh there was an mta guy there he would let me go down he saved my life maybe but he also saved me from being on time that happened to me my phone literally fell through that thing it smelled like a pizza so this rat brought it back up to me I got very like let's do one crime report and then I'm sorry we have to wrap it up so oh I mean I was gonna I I'll just I'll tell one more like sort of uh just a very brief thing since we're almost out of time and the crime report is it's a crime report dot nyc I love being a new his listeners always love it because it's so much funnier uh but they took that hard they take everything hard well thank you for your laughter I introduced you as the heel I yeah as the heel right which I thought and and I try to wear the black hat but uh you know it hurts you know the silence hurts but uh I will say just this a woman was abducted don't ever feel like you're safe even though crime is like you know way down and everything they call you there was a guy who abducted a woman in front of port authority uh bus terminal just uh snatched her up and pimped her out he pimped her out he forced her to turn tricks as they drove all the way to New Mexico and uh I read it a port authority no no no she was at the port authority the port authority police did not abduct her uh she was abducted by an abductor oh uh who was a captor and a pimp then uh in a sex trafficker I guess and so like she made it back it was amazing and and and uh she noted in the story with a because there was a question how bad was

Residents in Eastern Kentucky still have an opportunity to vote for their favorite local businesses including dining, shopping and other services until March 31st at midnight. You can go online and vote now at bestinthemountains.com. Best in the Mountains is almost over. We only have three days left to vote as of right now. It's one of the biggest things that we do here in Eastern Kentucky and across the region. One of the best parts about Best in the Mountains is we do keep track after you've won a few times. So we have people that are like three-time winners at this point and that's a great bragging right for the community. The way that it affects local businesses here in the area is they actually get a certificate and we actually print a book every year of all the winners. The book actually acts like a guide to all the best businesses in town. Best in the Mountains is decided by the people for the people. It allows local businesses to boast about the quality goods and or services they provide to the community. Best in the Mountains absolutely is democracy manifest. It is exactly what people think are the best people, places and things in our region. It's 100% people voted. We don't really participate here as part of the company. We just pick the winners at the end and pull them out of the voting and we have our winners. But make sure you go to BestintheMountains.com and get those last few votes and the 31st at midnight is when it's all over. We'll start picking our winners on Monday and we'll be announced sometime next week. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Collum.
