| 0:06.2 | Hey, let's take some calls. |
| 0:08.7 | 800, 321, 0-710 is the number. |
| 0:12.0 | Let's go to Rich in Myrtle Beach. |
| 0:14.6 | Rich, how you doing? |
| 0:16.4 | Hey, thanks, Mark. |
| 0:17.3 | I don't know if you touch on, |
| 0:18.2 | but Rick Derringer passed away yesterday on Memorial Day. Oh, I know. I forgot to mention. Yeah, he was, he played with Ringo's All-Star band. I saw him many times. He was a buddy in mine. I, you know, had him to my house a couple times when he played in Long Island in the 90s. But he was just a monster and he did more to music, you know, producing wise than people even realized. and so he produced all those Weird Al Yankovic albums and stuff like that. I know that. I know he's a great producer. I didn't know he did Weird Al Yankovic. Oh, yeah. And he also played on a lot of the Dewey Dan albums. I wouldn't count that as a great producing credit, though. But he produced a lot of other music too, and he too and he played with cindy lawpah's band in the 90s i think it was and uh the lingo star all-star band he did a lot of the cuts on some of the big uh steely dan uh he was a big session musician too so right also forgetting his own uh hits of the 70s rock and roll hoochie coup. What else? That's it, yeah. No, there's another one. Hang on Sloopy. Hang on Sloopy. Let's not forget. Liz Derringer, his wife, went on to be a great PR woman. Yep, yeah. Everybody loves her.

People that |

| 1:51.8 | do something really dramatic, it is going to take them 10 years at least to recover from this. |
| 1:57.9 | You know, Harvard has a horrible history of this kind of crap. In World |
| 2:01.8 | War II, they had Nazi clubs right on the campus. They had a president who openly supported |
| 2:07.5 | Hitler. This is Harvard. In the 20s, they had a Ku Klux Klan chapter right on the campus of |
| 2:15.2 | Harvard. It's got a long terrible history of |
| 2:19.3 | this kind of stuff. Let's go to Jeff |
| 2:21.4 | in Islip. Jeff, how you doing? |
| 2:24.0 | Good, Mark. Mark, |
| 2:25.5 | Billy Joel, nobody's talking |
| 2:27.4 | about this. He's not |
| 2:29.3 | going to be cured by physical therapy. |
