	Here we are, my friends.
	On this Thanksgiving Eve Ventilation Friday with the lovely and talented, the bewitching Mrs. L, wishing you and yours a...
	Happy, happy Valentine's Day.
	Day of love, and I am so lucky to be with my handsome husband.
	With our I Love You balloon.
	All day, just celebrating.
	Celebrating.
	Celebrating our love.
	Celebrating our disgusting love.
	I'm going to try to put this over here.
	It's okay.
	It has a unique shadow to the thing.
	In any event, welcome everybody.
	Glad you could be a part of this with us.
	We're so happy you could join us.
	Thank you to be a part of the mirth, the merriment, the fun, the frivolity, the absolute, just excitement.
	And it's such a pleasure to have you, my darling, with us today as we celebrate today.
	And it's been a while since we've done this.
	Well, I was out on a mission last Friday night, so I was not available.
	Let's put it that way.
	Doing the Lord's work, doing warrior's missions on the West Coast, may I add?
	Yes, on the West Coast.
	But you know what I want to start with?
	What?
	Let's talk about Valentine's Day for a moment.
	You know, for us, Valentine's includes, you know, it can be children, it can be relatives.
	It's just a day of love and reaching out to people or sending a little heart.
	Or how are you doing?
	Because not everybody has, you know, a romantic partner.
	And so I think Valentine's Day, you know, I posted something today for the Warriors, you know, let's love all the kids the month of February.
	Let's open up this Valentine's Day to a different kind of, does that make sense to you?
	Kind of love, you know, loving the children, all children, as opposed to the emphasis, and we know it's commercialization, about the romantic love.
	That indeed is...
	Good also, everybody.
	But let's open it up.
	It's for everybody.
	One day where we can just love everybody.
	Aww.
	That is beauteous.
	I thank you for that.
	Especially kids.
	Can you imagine kids who today, you know, they hear about Valentine's Day.
	They've got phones or whatever.
	They may have a single parent who's out at work all day.
	They may not do anything in their homes.
	And I don't think schools.
	I mean, we used to make Valentine's and have the little mailbox in the classroom.
	I don't know if kids even do that anymore.
	You have inspired some incredible discussion.
	We're going to do that.
	We're going to invite you, of course, to weigh in and join in and to expatiate in limb and your particular preponderance of pellucidity.
	Let me remind you to follow Lionel Nation to make sure you are 87% of the people who actually watch us do not subscribe for reasons I don't understand.
	I don't understand.
	Same thing for you at Lin's Warriors.
	Well, don't even mention that because people subscribe and then they're just unsubscribed and they have to re-subscribe.
	So who knows what's going on?
	We're going to get to the bottom of this.
	But first, my friends, this.
	We've been told our whole lives that wrinkle creams were the easiest way to look younger.
	Now, one doctor says that's nothing but old news.
	According to Dr. John Lakey, the world-renowned Beverly Hills beauty expert, most wrinkle fixes on the market are nothing but glorified moisturizers.
	He says they hardly make a dent on your appearance and some can even be harmful to your skin.
	Now recently, Dr. Lakey has focused his attention away from mainstream cosmetic practices.
	Why?
	So he can pursue a revolutionary anti-aging breakthrough.
	One that some experts say could empty the wallets of the cosmetic industry.
	He says it's almost like Photoshop for your face.
	You may even be mad after seeing how easy it is to visibly erase your wrinkles from view.
	His personal clients have dubbed his new do-it-yourself technique the age rewinder method, because it can take years or even decades off your appearance in under two minutes.
	In light of this amazing breakthrough, Dr. Leakey has released a step-by-step video to the public, free and uninterrupted, where he outlines exactly how to use this simple solution from home.
	He says if this helps even one person look younger or feel more confident, I'll be thrilled knowing it helped.
	Now, the video has since gone viral.
	At first, it was shared by users on Facebook.
	But since then, it's racked up over 2,300,000 views and counting.
	So far, the comments and feedback have been outstanding with thousands of women reporting they look decades younger.
	One viewer even commented, quote, But the results are great.
	Thank you.
	Now, so you can find out more about this yourself.
	Right now, go to bhmd1.com slash Lionel or click on the link in the description below.
	That's bhmd1.com slash Lionel.
	Now, there is one thing Dr. Leakey asks from his viewers.
	If watching this video helps you look and feel younger than you have in years, then please, he says, share this video with your friends and loved ones.
	Together, We have the power to help as many women reclaim a youthful look as possible.
	Go watch the video at bhmd1.com slash Lionel right now, or just click on the link in the description box below.
	Right off the bat, my friends, our dear friend Deb Kemp from Across the Palm says, Hope you all have a special evening.
	Unfortunately, can't stay, so lots of love to you both.
	I love Deb right back.
	Deb is...
	It's late across the pond.
	Indeed.
	Five hours from now, so it's midnight.
	Proceed with what you were saying, dear.
	Well, I was just saying, let's open it up.
	I want to hear all of our Lionel Nationers any thoughts on love, on things you did as kids, things you do now.
	What kind of love do you share?
	I'm very interested in that, so I want to hear from everybody out there.
	Well, another thing, too, is I find that I think I don't know, but I don't know if kids today necessarily enjoy or appreciate the notion of romance, love letters, courting.
	Is it just hooking up?
	Momentary, transitory?
	How does this thing work?
	First of all, it's our jobs to bring it back.
	This Gen X, this 0-14, they are craving...
	A return as these studies are unfolding, various studies actually, that they are the ones that want to witness.
	Now, when I say zero, you know, that's just how they define it, zero to 14. But 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, what was it like?
	What was something I just said, you know, mailboxes in the classrooms.
	I mean, that's a conversation starter with kids to see how that goes.
	We always had the nun who said, make sure you make a valentine for every...
	Buddy in the classroom, don't leave anybody out.
	But I think it's going to swing back, and we're seeing it in these studies.
	And also, even with the kids a little bit older, you know, dating.
	One of the biggest things, I just saw something two nights ago.
	There's a group here in New York, and it's becoming very popular, Shabbat dinners.
	Meet, like singles meet, and they're getting back to sharing a meal kind of thing.
	Or these gym groups.
	Let's meet at the gym.
	So I have a lot of hopes.
	A lot of hope, I should say.
	It's going to swing back.
	Will it take a little time?
	I think so.
	But I think in the next couple of years, we're going to see a lot of changes and changes that we like because they've just been doing everything on the phone.
	After all, when these dangerous algorithms, as I call them, and are proven.
	Are showing kids porn when they're not even looking for it.
	And kids think that's a relationship or that's what you do to a woman or to a man or a girl or a boy.
	I mean, come on now.
	We've got to get away from that.
	But that's a whole other program.
	Stephen Ross, also from Across the Pond, says, Today is my 34th sobriety date.
	My beloved lady is 16 years sober.
	Blessings from Belfast, Lionel, and your wonderful wife.
	Oh my God.
	Everybody needs to cheer for that.
	That is one of the...
	That is something which I don't think people can understand.
	When you are fighting and tackling not only a chemical, psychological, physical addiction, but all of the things that go with it, God bless you for that.
	God bless you.
	Many, many, many, many more.
	Yes, and sending love and prayers and good wishes, and it's just absolutely terrific.
	And the clarity you have.
	The clarity you have.
	And how many people do you think right now, out there, who have problems, who don't think, they're saying, oh, I don't have a...
	Because, you know, one of the things about that is, of course, lying and deception.
	Oh, I don't have a problem with that.
	I'm just...
	Anyway.
	Far from me to preach.
	Congratulations.
	Excellent.
	Well, I think it's just exceptional.
	That's what I think.
	And everybody better weigh in on that and engage.
	We got someone here for 15 years sober.
	It's an incredible thing.
	Listen, it is a very tough journey.
	Let's be realistic here.
	Every day, it is a one day at a time.
	And it is incredible to overcome that type of thing.
	So I think just so wonderful.
	Tell them about...
	Remember that thing about that?
	Oh, just part of what I was saying before is because the kids are going back a little bit older now.
	You know, 15 plus going into their 20s are loving golden girls.
	And we've spoken about that.
	And they love friends.
	And they like to see, you know, how groups are living together.
	How friends are acting in New York City.
	They're searching out what did New York used to look like.
	And that's just not, you know, people that live here in New York.
	Right.
	Teens in...
	Kids in their 20s, as I like to call them, that's around the country.
	So we're going to get back to that.
	Everybody needs to just keep at it.
	But again, I want everybody, really, in their home, community, whatever it is where you are, talk to kids.
	Not everybody has children, but you know somebody who does.
	Let's bring back that mailbox idea.
	I kid you not.
	As the schools, just stay tuned.
	We're going to be hearing a lot about...
	Education department.
	CryptoDomini says, love y 'all.
	We love you as well.
	Thank you.
	Talking to some kids, they are very, very difficult, very, very tough, especially when kids hit around, they start to shut down.
	Who was it?
	Gore Vidal says, he's never met a six-year-old he couldn't talk to or didn't find interesting, or a 16-year-old he did.
	You know what happens.
	They get very, very, there's almost like a...
	Puberty.
	It's almost like a form of psychosis.
	You don't recognize, who is this?
	Is this my little boy?
	My little girl?
	Who is this?
	Angry.
	It can be very, very, very tough.
	It can be for reasons that you have nothing to do with.
	Well, hormones.
	That's a big reason for everything.
	But not everybody with hormones.
	Most people have hormones.
	No, no, no.
	But I'm just saying also at that age, remember...
	Now, remember back.
	Do you remember being 15, 16, 17?
	Yes.
	I felt like almost an adult.
	Yes.
	Even though I was just a teen, kind of couldn't wait for these teen years because I kind of knew everything, I thought, and want to move forward.
	Yeah.
	So they're just stuck.
	And on top of it, we have to talk about it.
	On top of it, these kids have grown up in the digital bubble, which has affected.
	Now, we can't blame it for everything, but it has certainly affected kids and families.
	In so many ways.
	Well, I will go one step further.
	It's not necessarily just digital or social media.
	It's the camera.
	If there was not a camera on the phone, it would be a different story altogether.
	The camera is what I'm talking about.
	I don't mind somebody really, because we are always, people who are looking at email and people who do this, at least they're communicating.
	This I can deal with.
	This I can talk with.
	But this, you have no idea how.
	We went to an event one time fairly recently.
	You know what I'm talking about.
	And there were grown women, 50, 60 years old, like they were Rula Lenska.
	You know, ask your parents.
	Or they were like...
	Come up with somebody new.
	I love Rula Lenska.
	But they were doing that.
	And then they're putting their picture.
	I'm thinking, put that damn thing down.
	And then the music.
	And look at this.
	And look at how...
	Am I beautiful?
	That's it.
	Most events.
	It's about taking pictures of the food.
	These are adult women.
	I know, but...
	I've got so many friends!
	Look at my friends!
	Oh, love you!
	BFF!
	BFF my ass!
	Okay.
	It's changing.
	Drew B says, My husband and I are married 37 years.
	Yikes.
	We have our first grandchild due in August.
	The gender reveal is tomorrow.
	Boy or girl, who cares?
	We are excited for the next generation of our family.
	How exciting is that?
	Congratulations.
	I think that is just so exciting.
	You know, God bless you.
	Healthy baby, healthy family.
	Gender reveal, yes!
	It is.
	But there's no such thing as gender.
	Remember when Party City...
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I think they're completely out of business.
	Well, I think they're going to be bought by somebody else.
	No, there were stores closed in New Jersey.
	I see, like, store closed.
	But anyway, the point was they had, for a while, like, the pink aisle with all the baby stuff, and then they had the blue aisle, and then there was a kerfuffle or something happened where, because of the gender reveals, you can't put the pink with the blue.
	They had it with the toys, the Toys R Us also.
	I want to go back, though.
	I saw something go by Care Bear, a comment that said, I think it said something like, because everybody, these comments go kind of fast on this end.
	True love has been replaced by lust.
	I don't know.
	That's always been to an extent.
	To an extent, people misunderstand.
	You know what I mean?
	I think we've been saying that for a while.
	I'm not going to agree with that one.
	I think it remains the same.
	For some people, they've never had...
	Do you know how unselfish...
	It's hard to find true love.
	But how unselfish love is?
	What do you mean?
	It's very giving.
	If you want to fall in love to get stuff back, which of course you do, it's a very kind of a quid pro quo.
	It's also an OCD thing.
	Well, Steve has got it.
	He says, true love is a willingness to self-sacrifice.
	Oh, wow.
	Okay, but that is exactly true.
	That is it.
	Yeah, just giving, loving, patience, understanding, and walking away sometimes.
	Let me give you...
	When need be...
	Yeah, sometimes closing the door.
	If it gets a little heated.
	Keep your mom shut.
	Go.
	Whoever says, communication.
	What?
	No!
	Be cacked.
	I don't want to know every single thing.
	You don't want to know every single...
	Some things are better left unsaid.
	That's just the way it is.
	I think Bruce Hornsby said it, but...
	I'm very much a morning person.
	Four or five, got to do this, got to do that.
	And you very much are also a morning person who just is silent and wants to just focus on what you're doing.
	And I also hate to hear, don't tell me what we've got to do today.
	I know.
	I'm thinking.
	Edie Crowley says, I love to see people in love.
	I do too.
	I like to see older There's something about an old couple.
	I saw this one.
	I don't know what the hell.
	I go through these things.
	These two people, they met at the Fillmore East.
	And they look like 80 years old, but they were hippies then.
	And they would love each other.
	Rule number one.
	Don't define it.
	Don't define it.
	Good luck.
	Rule number two.
	You don't have to work on it.
	Anybody who says, you know, you gotta work.
	Love is a lot of work.
	No, it's not.
	If it's a lot of work, you've got a big problem.
	Parenting is a lot of work, but love is not work.
	And also, I think the third thing is, you're the only person I want to be with.
	I mean, I've got friends, and I don't want to be with them.
	I may talk to them every now and then.
	You're the only person.
	I never have to get away from you.
	I get away to you.
	And that's it.
	And if you've got to sit here and go to counseling, forget it!
	It's over!
	Counseling?
	Counseling?
	When was the last time you had to go to counseling to like chocolate?
	Or to go to counseling?
	No!
	I'm sorry.
	Listen, if it works, if you've got kids, God bless you.
	But that's not good.
	It's supposed to be fun.
	It's not supposed to be.
	I mean, I don't know what people think it is.
	I think it also, you know what it really does?
	When your parents, when you see parents in love, And you see what a normal family is, and it's like, my father comes home, and they...
	You don't realize what you're being taught.
	Am I right?
	I think you're right.
	I think you're right.
	Do you ever see couples where you think, how do they stay together?
	What the hell is this about?
	But listen, some things, some couples, I'm thinking back now, over the decades, are together for companionship.
	That's their version of love.
	What's wrong with that?
	So I'm just saying it's not even the in love, like we're in love kind of thing.
	Some couples are there.
	I've heard this before.
	Financially, two people get together because they can live together, but they call themselves a couple.
	It's not like they're in love.
	There's all kinds of different things going on here.
	Listen, whatever melts your butter.
	Crypto Domini says, been calling my baby, baby, baby, babe for 15 years.
	Remember that one, the worst thing, You've Been Together 30?
	Just kidding.
	You know that song, She Called Everybody Baby?
	Who was that?
	What was that song?
	What was that line?
	She Called Everybody Baby.
	Anyway, there's a song.
	Go ahead.
	No, nothing.
	But I also think, and Carol said something, it reminds me that also being best friends, friends, like liking your spouse is so important.
	You like your spouse.
	What do I always say?
	You're my best friend.
	And I mean that.
	Lonely all night.
	She calls me baby.
	She calls everybody baby.
	John Mellencamp.
	That would have driven me crazy all night long.
	I saw you were very laser focused on finding out who was saying those lyrics or something like that.
	Where is John Mellencamp?
	He's fine.
	By the way, Big Night the 22nd.
	Yeah, we do.
	Next week, about a week.
	A week count.
	And everybody who shows up gets a free Trump pin.
	That sounds terrible.
	February 22nd.
	It's beautiful.
	February 22nd at the Cutting Room.
	Tickets are available.
	We got this.
	President Trump's face.
	Every day we've got our flags.
	We've got our...
	Making it a very flag-centered.
	That's what I do.
	That's all we need.
	Right?
	And how...
	Great is this since the last show in October.
	I really was on the pins and needles.
	I mean, I really was for those few months that now we can celebrate.
	Now we can...
	Let me show you what love is.
	I'm a grown man.
	Grown man with...
	I bought her a cutie.
	We've got these things and she bought me one of those.
	Honey, it's upside down.
	You put them upside down.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Excuse me.
	I'm cutie in here.
	XOXO.
	It looks the same.
	And I found it in a different place.
	And now we've got a pair.
	That's all.
	Our bedroom looks like...
	What is this, a child?
	That's what it's about.
	Because we're demented.
	That's what it's about, honey.
	And I'm not asking anybody any permission to be what I want.
	Crypto says, I love it.
	I'll listen after.
	Well, thank you, sir.
	I appreciate that.
	No, he's got to go.
	No.
	No, or it could be...
	John Mellencamp.
	Right.
	And the song.
	It could be that.
	Do you?
	Oh, that's right.
	You're right.
	Do you?
	Can you believe Trump won?
	Can you?
	No, I'm still in disbelief.
	But there is also a part of me, because I've blocked out that horror, that disgusting four years where I was sick every day, that I feel like, and this sounds a little crazy, he's been there the whole time.
	No, I know.
	I know.
	Seriously, because...
	There is so much for me to constantly tell you.
	I can't keep up every day with what's going on.
	There's so much going on behind the scenes the public doesn't know about yet that's working on.
	I mean, it is unbelievably, incredibly fantastic.
	And I am so happy that the president is surrounded by some very good advisors, strategies, and they've been preparing for this, you know, the last couple of years.
	And it's very exciting.
	I've got my gold coin, my Trump coin.
	I've got my...
	Look at this.
	Look at this.
	Keep America.
	Look at this.
	Trump 2020.
	Part of the memorabilia.
	We're going to go back to D.C. Well, I'll be there this week.
	You're going to be back.
	I'm going to check out our...
	Please go by.
	...to see what's going on there.
	Nelson A. says, Happy V-Day to both of you.
	Thank you for keeping us sane, listening to you during these difficult times in my life.
	Thank you.
	Well, thank you.
	Thank you, Nelson.
	But let's talk about...
	Like, we have so much...
	So today's Valentine's Day and love and all that.
	Don't you feel good?
	Oh, yes.
	Because...
	That gang of goons, whatever those people were.
	I don't even call them people.
	I don't know.
	They don't celebrate things like love and family and kids.
	And I have to say, and I'm always about don't put your kids online and I still maintain that, but that's pictures, everybody.
	I love when I see J.D. Vance landing with his wife in Paris and carrying his little daughter.
	I like seeing little X in the Oval Office.
	Yeah!
	His little outfit looking like a little cute man.
	I like that kids are being brought back.
	And we're exposing them.
	Every child, you know, you know what we'll see now?
	The return under the first Trump administration.
	Washington was filled with bus trips, with schools.
	I couldn't keep up with it.
	The buses would run you over, the school buses.
	There was nothing in the last four years.
	There was nobody going there.
	Okay, forget that horrible C period.
	I'll leave it at that.
	But when we were coming out of that, the schools weren't returning.
	A couple here and there.
	It was so...
	What's the C period?
	Oh, oh, oh!
	I thought Kamala starts with it.
	Oh, no.
	And she thinks she's right.
	They just put out these crazy PR headlines.
	Everybody knows that.
	Everybody's savvy.
	You see what she was walking up to?
	She was at the Lakers game.
	And sat in the back in some, like, behind ZC.
	Yes!
	Like, she didn't even get a seat, like, you know, on the court or one row back.
	She got nothing.
	And she's going to run for...
	First it's Senator, then it's Governor.
	I don't know what this...
	Nobody wants her.
	No.
	Her own people don't want her.
	So, it's just PR, everybody.
	Relax.
	Take a breath.
	She's not going anywhere, this woman.
	Nowhere at all.
	And you know what?
	I also maintain, and I don't know her...
	She doesn't want to work.
	She's lazy.
	I know.
	You always get that impression she's like lazy and just wants to skirt by, show up.
	There were a lot of stories behind the scenes because she had such a large turnover with her staff.
	She just didn't prepare.
	She was a bitch.
	She didn't show up.
	She treated people horribly.
	So, she's going nowhere.
	No.
	Nowhere at all.
	She's kind of like, uh-oh, Josie Muldowney says...
	Do gender reveal party attendees get their money back if the child transitions later in life?
	That's very good.
	By the way, Josie, are you any kin to Cha-Cha Muldownie?
	The first woman, female, drag star, drag racer.
	Cha-Cha Muldownie.
	That is an excellent question.
	A lot of our British friends, are you a Sean Atwood, buddies?
	Here is Carolyn of Utah, says, When my children were at home, we had our sweetheart's dinner with candles, flowers, Avon Valentine album, heart-shaped meatloaf, happy love day.
	I love it.
	I love that.
	I love that.
	Remember the Avon lady?
	We had an Avon lady.
	I used to sit, and I remember one time, my parents never ever said, get out of here.
	But I remember this Avon lady.
	We had an Avon lady down.
	What was her name?
	Oh, my God.
	Did your mother buy it?
	I think so.
	But I would look.
	And Tupperware parties.
	Oh, yeah.
	Claudia says Mary Kay, too.
	But I know.
	But I was always...
	Anytime I got cornered by a Mary Kay or...
	Or the pink car.
	No, but...
	Or an Avon, I had to buy.
	Like, I felt bad for them.
	How can you tell them no?
	There was always something.
	And then over the years, they went into...
	Things for children.
	Eventually, one time, they had watches.
	I mean, how can you say no to them?
	They're trying...
	No, especially, like, the women...
	Did you ever have Fuller Brush?
	Anybody remember Fuller Brush, man?
	Knock on the door?
	Yeah, we had Fuller Brush.
	Today, if you knock on the door, you take your life in your hands.
	Nobody answers the door.
	We had a man who came around and sharpened knives.
	We had that here in the city.
	Remember him?
	Remember that guy on Saturday?
	And he would ring a bell, and then you'd run down out of your apartment.
	With a bunch of knives!
	He was carrying knives.
	Running, running.
	No, but he had like a nice little truck.
	He had this little green truck.
	In the streets of New York, we're running with knives.
	So was everybody else running with knives.
	Oh, the good old days.
	The good old days.
	He had that green kind of like go-kart truck thing.
	He had that open air kind of...
	Yes, yes, yes.
	It was like a really kind of funky, old-fashioned...
	That was a long time ago.
	A long time ago.
	None of that anymore.
	None of that at all.
	Little things I was remembering growing up in Ybor City, we had this Naviera, this Cuban, this coffee place, and the smell of coffee beans roasting.
	It was everywhere.
	It was the most...
	Don't ask me why.
	Why are you thinking of that?
	Because I have brain farts all the time.
	We're talking about knives.
	I'll think of something for no particular reason.
	Go ahead.
	I stopped.
	I was letting you tell your story.
	Rhonda says, boar bristle brush.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, Lisa says, and the scissor man.
	Isn't that something that I...
	That was different from...
	Well, he had a knife man growing up.
	Yeah.
	Was the scissor man different?
	I didn't have a scissor man.
	You didn't have a scissor man.
	I think the knife would probably do it.
	I had the knife man used to come around.
	We had this one guy in Ybor City.
	They had this guy, Bacala!
	He would sell codfish.
	They would ring the bell.
	Codfish?
	Yeah, Bacala.
	They would go door to door and they would ring the produce guy.
	Here in New York City, on every corner, well almost, sometimes in the middle of the night they have these The most elaborate fruit, vegetables.
	You've seen them.
	They're Egyptians.
	Not Egyptians, but they have the most elaborate food stands.
	In front of a store.
	But they're so large, some of them.
	Actually, there is one near us.
	I don't know how I saw this.
	I think it was very early in the morning.
	I was walking.
	Very early.
	Because I would think to myself, how do they, because I've seen them sometimes at night packing up and putting in the back of a van.
	This one puts tarps over it now and leaves.
	Wow.
	I don't even know if there's product under there.
	We have people who you'll see Muslims praying.
	We have one of our neighbors who prays.
	I think that's wonderful.
	Anybody who shows any kind of a devotion, buy yourself.
	And anybody who shows any kind of devotion, I don't care what it is, I think it's terrific.
	I think it's wonderful.
	But anyway, that was kind of that New York sort of thing.
	We don't really have...
	Remember the knife man?
	The famous knife man?
	What happened to these people?
	Oh, this guy was great.
	He was a British accent.
	He wore the tweed suit.
	He lived at the Pierre Hotel.
	I think he died.
	Oh, he did die.
	He did die, right?
	But everybody knew him.
	He would sell these things.
	He was...
	Incredible.
	I don't see those characters anymore.
	We have a lot of characters on the streets.
	Ivana says encyclopedias.
	You're right.
	We had that.
	We had the art link letter.
	A man came around.
	My parents bought them.
	They were colorful, very easy to read.
	The art link letter encyclopedias.
	Look at this.
	Darnie said, my mom told Ivana, we liked the little sample lipsticks.
	I know.
	Isn't that something?
	I love all that stuff.
	Well, we, every now and then, if you're lucky enough, if you're lucky enough, you'll have a friend of yours who works in the cosmetics industry.
	And you don't, like one time you were very kind enough to receive something and you said to me, you know how much this is worth?
	And it was nothing.
	A couple of things, a little brush, a little...
	A couple of palettes of...
	I don't even know what the hell it was.
	Eyeshadow.
	Well, some of these things are...
	We know it's the packaging on cosmetics and beauty products.
	We know it's a tremendous markup.
	But...
	If you go into any of these stores like Ulta, Sephora, I mean, lipsticks now are $40, some of the brands.
	$40 for a lipstick.
	So, this stuff adds up.
	Joseph says, Milkman, we never had...
	You had Milkman.
	We had a little iron door in the back.
	Sounds like a Dickens novel.
	No, because when I was little, I used to love it.
	I can still have heavy iron, black iron, on the outside with this heavy handle.
	He could put the milk, the butter, the eggs.
	My parents only had milk delivered.
	They had nothing else, but the guy had eggs, butter.
	But didn't your father go every night to get milk, too?
	Well, I'm talking about when I was very, very little, okay?
	And then there was a door on the inside.
	Because you had about 15 kids in your family, too.
	That's right.
	And there was a duplicate door on the inside.
	Right.
	I like to pull the handle.
	I was probably like two, three years old.
	Pull the handle, and there'd be the glass bottle of milk.
	And it had the paper top.
	Paper top, yes.
	Remember the paper top?
	Crimped.
	Exactly.
	Look at this right now.
	Darlene Bradley says, My mom succumbed to the World Book Encyclopedia Salesman.
	It was great.
	I loved reading them and never had to go to the library for a report right there on the shelf in the living room.
	Darlene, now she was fancy.
	Remember they were colored pictures?
	We had world books.
	You had Britannica.
	I cannot tell you.
	We would have, I would just plop down.
	Plop down, I should say.
	Or plump down.
	In this chair we had that didn't fit.
	It was the most comfortable chair, but it was the ugliest thing anybody's ever seen.
	And it swiveled.
	And I would just go and grab.
	Remember there was a great Martin Mull song, Girls to Grab.
	And it was the name of the encyclopedia, or dictionary, Girls to Grab.
	And I one time opened up something about Tunisia.
	And I loved the flag.
	And I would just spend just reading.
	That's what I love to do!
	And you did it too!
	And Darlene did it!
	But we also had projects, don't you?
	Where you had to create the flags.
	Did you have the addiction to the library just to get books?
	I did.
	I remember reading about Abraham Lincoln when I was a little kid.
	I thought, this guy's great!
	And they had that plastic around.
	They had the thing in the back where you could see who went to the North Tampa.
	The little pocket.
	Who checked it out before I was always checking out the names.
	Well, that's...
	Look at this.
	Lisa says, our milkman's name was Ed, and I believe he was my father.
	Just kidding.
	He would chat with my mother whenever he came to deliver the milk or pick up the bottles like he was never in a rush.
	I know.
	We had that with the mailman.
	My mother used to give our mailman a glass of water, those kind of things.
	You need to use the bathroom, you need tissue, all kinds of things going on.
	James Stewart says, we had to milk the goats each morning.
	Wow!
	Yep.
	I love them.
	Being on a farm or, you know.
	Here's something I don't know.
	Sweet gal was shunned by the witnesses after she became pregnant.
	Now, I don't know what that's about.
	That's all she wrote.
	But I thought, that's all she wrote.
	I'm not addressing that one.
	You had somebody one time come by and you had a lemon tree.
	What is it?
	Pear tree.
	Pear tree.
	A partridge in a pear tree.
	No, it was very beautiful.
	And came by to say, can we collect some pears?
	Yeah.
	To make some pear pies, pear jellies, pear this, pear that.
	It's a different world, honey.
	Absolutely.
	Different world.
	We used to love, I remember when I was a kid in Tampa, we would make crab enchalado.
	We would have newspaper on this table.
	And we'd have the crab.
	It was the most wonderful.
	Anybody from Tampa remembers the sea breeze out there in the Causeway, 26th Street Causeway, the devil crabs and all of that.
	Oh my God.
	You've never lived until you just...
	It's kind of like a lobster boil, but it's just...
	You suck the bones.
	Oh God.
	You know, our love show for Ventilation Friday has...
	Deteriorate it into a...
	We're letting it go.
	You don't mind, do you?
	We're letting it go.
	We're letting it go, honey.
	We're letting it go.
	We're letting it go.
	Tell them about when you were a kid and you went...
	Listen to this.
	I'm not sure what you're going to say.
	Be very careful.
	When you would go with a little pail and the milk and your white gloves.
	This kills me.
	Yes.
	My mother used to bring us to B. Altman's.
	Or B. Altman, which I always called Altman's.
	In Short Hills, New Jersey.
	And they had a little Charleston Gardens, the restaurant.
	Charleston Gardens?
	It was.
	It was supposed to be like Tara, like Gone with the Wind.
	Slavery.
	Very...
	Did they have...
	And in those days we dressed up...
	They had Negroes?
	In those days we dressed up...
	Just kidding.
	...to go to have lunch.
	Because in the summertime, they would give you a little...
	You know, pail and shovel.
	So you could use it on the beach, and you got your little PBJ in there, your little carton of milk, and most delicious chocolate brownie.
	But we would go.
	Our mother would have dresses on us with crinolines, white gloves.
	We had little hats, and that was to go get my little lunch pail at B. Altman's.
	Is that the most beautiful?
	Is that the story you wanted to hear?
	That is the most beautiful story.
	I love that story.
	I miss that story.
	I love that story, especially the Fifth Avenue store.
	Hold on for a second.
	Just for a second while I cry.
	That is the most beautiful story.
	It is a wonderful story.
	Absolutely.
	You know what else?

	A special hello and a great, oh, our dear friend Carla, the cookie CEO.
	Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. and Mrs. L. Happy birthday to my mom.
	Oh, she turns 84 today.
	Oh, she's having a hard time.
	Lost her husband just a couple of weeks ago.
	Oh, my God.
	That's so sad.
	Well, kiss her for us.
	Yes, please, Carla.
	Thank you.
	Yes, we've been thinking of you, too, with this.
	That's really something.
	When you see that, you talk about losing a love, that's another thing completely.
	Can't even talk about that.
	When you see your parents, one goes and then...
	No, don't even talk about it.
	I told you, my parents went five years to the day.
	What does that mean?
	I don't know what it means.
	Well, I think it means something.
	I do.
	Well, you know what's funny?
	By the way, somebody wrote a very nice thing.
	And by the way, Carla, we love you.
	We do, Carla.
	Thank you very much.
	The Royal Benny.
	There's one who mentioned Reader's Digest.
	Here we go.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Debbie says, remember when Reader's Digest was the best magazine and there were tons of articles, jokes, etc., and a condensed book at the back of the magazine?
	We recently went to Inchappaqua.
	Which is where Hillary Clinton lives.
	And there is the Reader's Digest.
	They called it the campus.
	The campus.
	The original building is still there.
	But explain what it has become now.
	You tell me.
	I don't even know.
	Section 8 housing, right?
	They sold it off.
	And their building, they turned the original building, because I looked it up then, in a very beautiful red brick.
	Remember I took a picture of it, actually.
	That building has been turned into apartments.
	And then as I don't know how many acres are there.
	They call it a campus, but there are a lot of acres.
	They are building a lot of that.
	They don't call it Section 8. They call it something like...
	Yep.
	and all these fancy names in Westchester.
	And they also put in some stores, restaurants, because that's the vision they want now.
	They want everybody mixed together, and they also want you on a campus, right?
	We've been talking about this for years.
	Yep.
	So you don't want...
	Leave.
	You don't go anywhere.
	You're right there and you've got everything at your fingertips.
	And I'm seeing that as I travel the country.
	I'm seeing that same kind of format in a lot of states.
	Yeah, Section 8. Section 8 is also provided for the discharge of men who were deemed mentally unfit.
	My father told me about when he was in the military, he had a fellow named Sergeant Swint.
	I remember hearing this.
	He was...
	He drove my father's cartoon or whatever.
	It was crazy.
	And they got him out on a Section 8. So when I hear Section 8 housing...
	I know, but in New York, I think it's...
	No, no, it's a housing.
	No, it's just...
	One is Section 8. This is Roman 8. It's another.
	But I was trying to say they're trying to mix in now because they want all this equity.
	However, that started...
	Let's see how that goes.
	I was going to say to you...
	I don't think that goes...
	Because Stonewall today, they took off of their...
	Remember when Biden actually came to New York City?
	I remember this.
	It could have been about within two years.
	I remember this.
	He went to Stonewall because they designated that a historic site.
	And they put up a plaque.
	Obviously, they get funds, correct?
	Historic site.
	Well...
	And it is a historic site.
	It is a historic site, but I would say to you, it was probably about, this is my opinion, about 20 people today protesting.
	Paid.
	Fox lunch.
	Probably by USAID.
	With blue hair.
	Because they took the words transgender and queer off their website.
	Wow!
	Not queer?
	Queer, I can understand.
	But they were also something else I was reading about it.
	They were like gay.
	Now, they wouldn't say women in the description.
	They were saying like persons that are lesbian.
	Now, they were talking about 1969 when all of this went down with Stonewall.
	Because we've heard from people who were actually there.
	So they've given us the scoop of what actually happened.
	The way this article was reading today, it was like fake news.
	It was like a lot of women were there in drag.
	It was basically a lot of...
	Women in drag?
	The article was misleading.
	Oh, yes, yes, yes.
	Right.
	It was basically a lot of men, okay?
	There might have been one or two people.
	I don't know.
	You're going to be seeing that go...
	So far down.
	Well, Disney just undid their whole...
	They had some exhibit called something like...
	Oh, don't hold me to it.
	Well, even Google took down the...
	No, no, but Disneyland, Disney World, they had these exhibits that were like, I don't know what they were.
	They had the weird name like Land of Equality or something.
	It was all about these...
	Yeah.
	That was not the name of it.
	It was something like that.
	All about this trans and equity.
	Got rid of them.
	Took it all down.
	Gone.
	Well, you know what?
	I wonder why.
	Money talks.
	That's all I'm going to say.
	Can you believe how everybody's falling in line?
	And let me explain something.
	Except for Kathy Hochul.
	In New York, we don't care.
	Who cares?
	I told you about my friend Joe and I years ago.
	Oh, yeah.
	I don't know how you two didn't like it.
	I didn't.
	It was a bar.
	We're bouncing around.
	I don't know.
	We're paying attention.
	I walked in there.
	What was it, like Pussycat Lounge or something?
	No, it was actually a very nice place called Henrietta Hudson.
	Yes.
	I didn't know.
	Everybody knows.
	I didn't know.
	Well, everybody in New York knows.
	So we walked in and we sat at the bar and we got this look.
	And I said, what's going on here?
	I didn't put two and two together.
	It was a bar!
	It might have been over, sir.
	I don't know.
	I looked around, but I didn't see the name.
	It was very nice.
	I thought to myself, oh, I know how to do this.
	I told the bartender, there weren't a lot of them.
	I said, bartender, will you buy these ladies a drink?
	That was it!
	That was it!
	I'm in!
	When did it actually occur to you?
	And how did it occur to you?
	Well, after we sat down, I realized, oh, a couple of...
	Well, they didn't have a sign, no men welcome or anything.
	But you know what?
	Great place.
	But once we hit it, I said, listen, I'm sorry, I made a mistake.
	No!
	Come back!
	Come back!
	Of course we were.
	Of course, because you were buying everybody drinks.
	It was.
	No men's room.
	That's a hint.
	Yeah, that's a hint.
	But also, a lot of women I've known over the years, and may still do it, loved going to gay bars with men, because they like...
	That environment.
	And they feel safe with those men.
	I'm not kidding.
	I've heard that for a long time now.
	Who cares?
	Everybody should just be happy with whatever.
	There is something to be said.
	We had a friend of ours years ago who passed away.
	And there's some other people, we're not going to mention your famous name, but it was gay.
	And there is better, how do I say this?
	When they get to be...
	Older.
	When you're 70 years old, and you're figuring, some of the men were very couples for years.
	Very, very elegant and very classy.
	And older, well, first of all, I like older women to begin with.
	What are you saying?
	No.
	Like my grandmother, kind of a thing.
	You do.
	You dig chicks anytime you see.
	And older, but older lesbians are like, These are like, these are, it's like having your grandmother and your grandfather.
	There's a kind of a, whatever.
	In New York, nobody cares.
	Just leave kids alone.
	Oh, that's it.
	That's it.
	And if you want to cut your thing off, go ahead.
	Leave children alone.
	Do not get me started.
	Cut whatever.
	Jody made a very nice comment.
	And happy Valentine's Day.
	Back to you, Jody.
	What did Jody say?
	Jody just said, you know, Happy Valentine's Day to us.
	So you got your glasses on.
	You got to put those on to read.
	I have to keep my glasses on to read.
	Yes, I do.
	Aren't those sexy glasses?
	You got them.
	We got this very nice, older...
	How do I say this?
	He's like this old...
	Old-fashioned.
	He's like an old-fashioned...
	But he is an old-fashioned ophthalmologist.
	But you've got to really block out the whole day.
	Oh, yeah.
	It takes forever.
	Each appointment is five hours.
	Is it better like this?
	All right, get to the point.
	What about like this?
	I lose a little bit.
	It's starting to all look the same to me when he keeps putting those things.
	And we all have like, well, you've got a cataract.
	It's out there.
	Is it a rink in Continental?
	Remember the old joke?
	It was a cataract.
	You get it?
	You know what that just reminded me of?
	It's very sad.
	I have a weekly meeting across town and I always walk across past the Friars Club.
	And every week when I walk past it, there's a padlock on the front door.
	The building is really now falling.
	It used to look so beautiful, the outside.
	Brick and plants and beautiful kind of lead glass windows in the front.
	It's really falling into disrepair.
	It's horrible.
	It's so sad.
	So I guess they have sold that.
	They're waiting to sell it because that'll be worth a lot of money.
	I was in there one time I saw it.
	It's so sad.
	I saw...
	The Jerry Lewis Monastery is the signs like crooked on the outside of the building.
	It's horrible.
	They had this one, I think it's a Billy Crystal Bar.
	Yeah, they have a Billy Crystal Bar.
	And then there was the...
	It was really something during...
	Years ago, they had...
	Lenny, I mean, Henny Youngman and people were...
	No, it was fun.
	It was fun to go to lunch there.
	They had some good food.
	How about the Carnegie Deli?
	That building is completely abandoned now because I passed that.
	They're both on 55th Street, basically.
	On the menu.
	That's right.
	We have your menu here with the vinyl on it.
	But that whole building, so the restaurant downstairs, apartments above and offices.
	Just dark.
	That smell.
	Bored it up.
	With Sandy Levine, that smell.
	Remember walking in there?
	Oh!
	And Sandy was always like, come, come, come.
	But, like, you know, it's kind of community.
	Everybody's jammed in on tables.
	When I ate meat, my idea was a great time was just this pastrami with melted Swiss cheese.
	Forget the bread.
	Remember the crowds in there?
	Oh, my.
	Outside, and I'd be in front.
	And he says, just come in the front and just say, you know, I forgot something.
	And they would look at me like, hey!
	And I would go in and one of the funniest stories, Milton Parker, the great Milton Parker, the original owner.
	Oh, I loved him.
	I one time had lunch with Milton, his brother Irving, Sandy, loud!
	So loud.
	The place was so loud.
	Everybody was loud, right?
	Very loud.
	But it was...
	Remember all the tourists?
	They loved it.
	It was.
	It was like a show within a show in that place.
	Sarah Fawcett, the story goes, was doing that burning bed thing.
	Yeah.
	But she kind of was in makeup or something.
	I don't know what it was.
	She came in her makeup, which was all bruises.
	Like, that's not a good look, everybody.
	Seriously.
	And Milton said, look at her.
	Give her a pick up.
	Pick up the damn.
	Crystal Starber, there he is, says.
	Happy Valentine's Day.
	Love yous immensely.
	And you're getting the newsletter!
	I don't know what happened.
	We did something.
	I think he's getting the newsletter.
	Well, I'm sending one out Monday.
	So, shameless plug, everybody.
	Please go to lidswarriors.org.
	Scroll down on the right side.
	E-newsletter and sign up.
	So you will get your Warriors newsletter next week.
	Thank you.
	Remember when the bag from the Carnegie Deli?
	It was like this.
	It weighed up.
	Bread and this.
	I was like throwing some extra rye because you couldn't put those sandwiches in your mouth.
	But just there was no end.
	What a waste because you could not put that whole thing in your mouth.
	You needed extra rye bread to make different sandwiches.
	Charity call.
	Those are scams that I get.
	I get probable scams.
	The truth is charity call.
	Yes, I get them.
	I block them.
	I report them.
	I'm not going to answer that one.
	No, we're not answering.
	Reminder everybody, do not pick up and answer any numbers you do not recognize.
	Because it takes two seconds to steal your voice now.
	Less than two seconds to not do it.
	You know that guy Sebastian Maniscalco?
	He's a pain in the ass, but he does say some things that are funny.
	One was answering the phone.
	Remember when the phone rang?
	When you would say, you would have a little phone, you would have a pad.
	You know, like getting a phone, you always answer the phone, hello!
	Sometimes it would say the residence, which we never did.
	But it was, you always answer the phone.
	Nobody didn't answer the phone.
	Until answering machines.
	Then you screened your calls.
	Exactly.
	But you just answered.
	I was a screener.
	Really?
	Screener.
	My mother was very good.
	She could be yelling at you.
	My mother goes, you goddamn kid!
	Ring!
	Hello!
	I say...
	How she would go, that used to always crack her.
	I can hear your mother doing that.
	That cracked her, but I would tell people, kind of embellished a little bit, but she would say, in your case, I swear to God, I'm going to...
	You had a great mother.
	You had a great mother.
	She had such interest in everything, whether it was, I don't know, a restaurant.
	She wanted to look at it from the outside, review the menus, to...
	She actually...
	I never noticed it before when she came here one time and said they're scaffolding all over.
	And that was a while back.
	I'm so used to scaffolding all over the city.
	I never thought about that before.
	But we know that's just a money-making scam.
	Another thing that'll collapse around here, because I'm seeing a lot of good news around this city, aren't you?
	Remember?
	Oh, yes.
	And those weird people on here walking around.
	You know what I mean?
	Those people that look like they're from jungles.
	I'm sorry.
	I don't want to be rude or politically incorrect, but there were some folks walking around and thinking, where the hell are these people from?
	Well, the hotels are closing.
	As of June 1, there are seven.
	Three right in this neighborhood.
	What's the one?
	The Row?
	The Watson?
	The Row on 44th.
	Used to be the Mildew?
	No, it was called the Milford Plaza.
	Milford.
	There was a commercial with a jingle on years ago.
	I can't sing, so I can't do it.
	But it would be welcoming people come to Broadway, the Milford Plaza, people would be dancing.
	But then they renovated the whole thing.
	It became the Rowe Hotel.
	Kind of okay.
	And then 75% of all New York City hotels took government contracts during that period.
	To get these guaranteed payments.
	That's why only 25% of hotel rooms were available for a long time to tourists and made the prices go sky high.
	What about the Hilton on the 6th?
	Nobody ever talked about the Hilton.
	Except during, you know what, COVID, they put prisoners in there.
	And they put brown paper in all the windows.
	Like, nobody ever announced it, talked about it, but they were locked up.
	Is it Skyway?
	Skyline?
	Skyline's one of them.
	Out.
	It's going to be done.
	It's going to be...
	Going back to being a motel.
	Read your...
	If you ever read The Westies by T.J. English, The Coon, The Skyline.
	That was the place.
	Well, that, the Holiday Inn, which was called the Watson, out the Rowe Hotel we were talking about on 8th AMU, the old Milford Plaza, that was really the headquarters in New York.
	For Trendy Aragua.
	I was talking about forever when people told me I was crazy a few years ago.
	Along with a Roosevelt Hotel.
	That was a beautiful hotel.
	Every president had been in the Roosevelt Hotel.
	Do you know the Roosevelt?
	Was it the Roosevelt?
	No.
	45th Street off of Madison.
	Which one can you...
	FDR would drive...
	I think it's a Waldorf.
	Would drive his car into...
	I think it was a Waldorf.
	But there's also...
	The Roosevelt was beautiful.
	No, there's an underground in the Roosevelt, too.
	You know what's also interesting?
	The Warwick, where that one guy lived, that poor guy from the...
	Nobody talks about the...
	Ryan Thompson?
	Yeah, shot down.
	I walk over that spot a lot.
	I feel bad because I see it all the time.
	And everybody's going about their business, as they should be.
	But Mangione, nobody cares about him.
	Nobody's been talking about him.
	Well, the other day they announced that...
	I don't know if it's true or not.
	That he has acquired $300,000 from donors to pay for his legal fund.
	But he's independently wealthy, the family.
	I don't know.
	He was complaining his mother couldn't afford her health care, which I never understood that story if they have all this money.
	And I thought, oh no.
	UnitedHealthcare turned the mother down for her services.
	That wasn't even their insurance company.
	That whole story was crazy.
	Did you ever have a Waldorf salad at the Waldorf?
	Yes.
	And they used to sell Waldorf salads in other places.
	But that's not on the menu anymore.
	I don't see that.
	Chuck Mangione for five cents.
	Who is his brother?
	I remember Chuck Mangione.
	Remember Free as a Breeze?
	No, Free as a Breeze is George Benson.
	I remember that other song, which I can't sing.
	It kind of sounded like that.
	That was a big hit.
	Gap Mangione was his brother.
	And the...
	I remember...
	It was like, okay, play something else.
	Played the flugelhorn, had that stupid hat.
	God, remember there were like four songs.
	Remember when Frampton came alive?
	Comes alive?
	Frampton comes alive.
	How about this Paul McCartney?
	He's storming through New York City with these surprise pop-up shows that they put a ticket on sale.
	They put tickets on sale 30 minutes before.
	And of course, they sell out in five minutes, so they tell us.
	And people are loving it.
	They're digging it.
	He's practicing it.
	God bless him.
	He's practicing it for the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live, which is Sunday night, by the way.
	Which we are going to watch.
	If I'm going to comment on something...
	Do you agree with me?
	We have to watch.
	Who remembers the night?
	I remember when it started, 75. I do, too.
	This is pretty good.
	We came to high school on Monday, and they're like, can you believe that?
	What was that?
	They gave people the excuse to stay home on Saturday nights.
	It was actually pretty good.
	It was interesting.
	And then it was, you know, it's SCTV on its worst day, with the exception of the Tony Rosato days at the end, but in the beginning, SCTV was absolute genius.
	But at the time, and the most overrated comedian of all time was John Belushi.
	Dan Aykroyd was a genius.
	I never cared for John.
	He's chopping things.
	Garrett Morris, he's the black guy.
	Boring.
	Chico Escuela.
	Boring.
	Lorraine Newman.
	You know who Lorraine Newman's daughter is?
	You know that show I watch called Hacks, which I like because I like Gene Smart.
	She's the young comedy writer.
	Kind of non-binary, whatever the hell that thing is called.
	She's a they or something.
	She's a non-binary, I think.
	In real life also, I believe.
	But that's her daughter.
	So, but she's winning all kinds of, not that it matters, Emmys, no, and things like that.
	She's getting, you know, a lot of accolades.
	Gilda Radner was very good.
	Gilda Radner, in her own way, she's very good.
	They were all good.
	That whole group in the beginning were very, that was, remember how groundbreaking, you forget that, because it's 50 years later.
	And Chevy Chase, what a nut, what a crazy lunatic.
	They say he has, they say he has a little problem.
	Get the phone!
	Carla says, used to get my hair done at Kenneth's.
	Oh, at the Waldorf.
	Ran into Joan Rivers there, the sweet lady.
	Tell him who we are.
	One of our friends worked with Kenneth.
	Still, without naming names, give him that story.
	Nothing.
	He just...
	Okay.
	I'm trying to see how this story should go.
	But he was brought up from the South.
	He won...
	He's probably watching now.
	Yes.
	And if he is, he'll let me know later.
	Thank you, Nick.
	Feels so good.
	No, he won a competition.
	He won a competition.
	He could come up from the South and work as like a shampoo boy for famous Kenneth.
	And so he washed the hair of all the swans, all the society ladies we don't have, and gave me the scoop on different women, which, you know, I love that stuff.
	Of course, he rose in the ranks.
	In the hair world, he'd become quite famous on his own.
	I'll just leave it at that.
	Yes.
	That's what I'll say about it.
	But I love those stories, you know, old New York.
	And the one thing he was telling me in those days, you could still smoke in salons.
	These women were like chain smoking while he's washing the hair.
	Babe Paley, she died of lung cancer very young.
	Just think about that.
	There's no smoking.
	Remember how everybody went crazy when they took it out of the bars?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	When was that?
	10, 20 years ago?
	I don't remember.
	When did that happen?
	People have to go out in the cold.
	Then you'd see people on a cold day in front of office buildings in like a shirt, shivering, you know, smoking, smoking.
	I don't see too much of that anymore, though.
	Now, there was a great line.
	A friend of mine from Italy invited his friend over from Italy.
	And he met him at his office and he says, I can't believe this neighborhood.
	He goes, all these prostitutes outside.
	He says, what are you talking about?
	He says, there are all these prostitutes.
	He says, what prostitutes?
	He says, they're all outside smoking.
	Because anybody who stood outside and smoked in Italy at that time was considered a prostitute.
	I remember this story.
	Nelson, by the way, gifted five Lionel Nation memberships.
	I want to answer Edie as to why...
	Nick, jump on it.
	Go ahead.
	Edie, a while back, asked about, she said she had visited the Russian Tea Room at one point.
	Yes, there is a Russian Tea Room on 57th Street.
	Across from Billionaire, from that...
	No, that is...
	Okay, there's the Billionaire's Apartments that go for $100 million, some of them, that the people who bought them reported, we have no cell phone reception.
	And that's like, really?
	How about the story about the guy had this...
	And the homeless place was right next to him.
	Remember that?
	It was behind it.
	Oh, behind it.
	Backed up on it.
	But it's there.
	You know what I have to say about that?
	It's a men's homeless.
	When you...
	Because I walk past it a lot.
	Clean as a whistle.
	They're not hanging out outside.
	They have security on the inside of the door.
	I've never seen anything going on.
	Russian Tea Room.
	Some of the places.
	Russian Tea Room.
	Right next to Carnegie Hall.
	Right there.
	Russian Tea Room was still there.
	Remember the great...
	The Tootsie?
	Who was it?
	Was Dustin Hoffman in?
	Terry Garr was in.
	Who was the director who played?
	He was really good.
	Pollock.
	Sidney Pollock.
	Sidney Pollock.
	That was right next to it.
	Tavern on the Green.
	But I want to say something.
	That apartment building I just described, the $100 million apartments, next door to it is that...
	Lee's Art House.
	I mean, that went out of business like years ago.
	Across the street.
	It's not there.
	It's across the street.
	But that millennial hotel where Dirty Ditty was picked up.
	It's the building and then the hotel is right next door to it where they caught him.
	Okay, now Lee's Art is interesting.
	You might know this.
	I love Lee's Art.
	And that's it now, folks.
	Lee's Art is across the street from the Art Students League.
	And across the street is Lee's Art.
	And standing in front...
	Every single day was this guy who was saying...
	I think it was opera.
	And he handed out pieces of paper like, what is this?
	It was Jesus or something.
	But he was like...
	And that was the fellow that Adam Sandler based opera man on.
	This guy who would just stand there and just...
	I wonder what happened to him too.
	Oh, we had some Moondog years ago.
	That was a classic.
	We had that Chinese lady.
	Right there.
	Because you usually see men.
	Right by the subway, on the Broadway.
	Across from George's, John George.
	But didn't they trail her one day?
	No, no, no, no.
	That was somebody else.
	There was another woman.
	There was this black woman inside a garbage bag in front of Bergdorf.
	Yes, yes.
	And people say, Jesus!
	God!
	She was just like, please!
	People gave her money, though.
	And then they started getting into the, like Robert Glantz, in the back of the Buick Riviera.
	It was incredible.
	Those were...
	I don't see those kind of people anymore.
	Those were...
	Not seeing anything these days.
	Well, we're coming.
	We're going to...
	We're swinging back here.
	Yeah, now we've got the congestion pricing.
	Yeah, well, that's...
	Remember that time I went to pick you up and we said, God damn it!
	I'm not going to pay $9!
	I know, but you said it's a cup of coffee and I'm like, I don't buy those $9 cup of coffee.
	And you're like, oh, so what?
	And I'm like, it's the principal.
	It's the principal and go up that west side.
	I tried to pick you up so I'm driving around.
	I'm like, I'm avoiding it.
	So anyway...
	We're driving, and I'm going up, and I'm down the West Side Highway and going up the George Washington Bridge to avoid this congestion pricing.
	It's the principle.
	This tag reader.
	I'm not paying it.
	And all of a sudden, and she has this terrible habit.
	Look at that!
	I go, don't do that!
	I'm driving, and she says, there it is!
	I said, why?
	What are you talking about?
	She goes, there it is!
	And it was a sign reader.
	I said, you mean I'm driving here for nothing?
	I'm going up.
	They snuck that in.
	All the other sign readers, listen, they're silver.
	Yes.
	The West Side Highway, I'm going to fight this one, is supposed to be free.
	That's the Joe DiMaggio Highway.
	Joe DiMaggio Highway, as I call it, the West Side Highway.
	Same thing.
	And the FDR on the East Side are supposed to be free.
	They put up this license plate reader.
	It's all black.
	You don't even see it in the sky.
	It's not supposed to be there.
	I want to know why it's there.
	The West Side Highway is supposed to be free.
	Free.
	And the best part is, I look at the toll thing the next day, I'm getting a credit?
	I'm getting credits for this?
	I don't know what the hell we're doing.
	A lot of people are complaining that they're getting charged, they don't know why.
	The whole thing's a mess.
	I predict that President Trump will shut this down.
	That's what I predict.
	Too many people have been complaining, we're getting charged, we don't know why, we're not in the congestion thing.
	But remember...
	It's such bullshit.
	And it's that Kathy Hochul who just...
	Yeah, but they say they need it for the MTA.
	When are they ever going to fix...
	Our trains are disgusting.
	When you go to other countries and cities and see the transport.
	Potholes all over.
	Disgusting.
	Probably goes to USAID.
	Yep.
	There you go.
	Another slush fund.
	Well, I think Donald Trump will be taking care of this.
	I'm thinking about, too.
	Don't be surprised.
	I had no reason to believe this.
	But...
	I'm sorry.
	I keep thinking about the other day they said New York is so...
	The other day they had a birthday party for Tina Louise who turned 91. Remember Ginger?
	Well, I refused to go.
	Let it go.
	Let it go.
	But these people were trying their best to say, ooh, we're at Michael's for Tina Louise.
	I mean, bless her heart.
	No, she's 91. Let her have her birthday party.
	It's over with.
	The swans and the cold basket.
	Oh, man!
	I walk past that a lot.
	It's another French restaurant now, but I always get the vibe because that's the other thing.
	I always tell you this.
	I have this certain route when I'm going to a meeting every week in the evening and early evening.
	I like to walk past Joan Rivers and just Peer up and get her vibe when I'm like crossing East 62nd Street.
	And just look.
	And what you always say too is, there's Mrs. Silverman.
	That's so sad.
	65th Street, Mrs. Silverman.
	Remember Sante and Kenneth?
	Sante and Kenneth Crimes killed her.
	And my friend Mel Sacks represented her.
	Remember that?
	I'm still upset.
	These poor women, she would bring people in.
	Never found her body.
	The one from the bank said, the notary goes, who is this?
	Is this Sante Crimes?
	It was somebody dressed.
	It was her.
	She dressed up as Mrs. Silverman.
	It's a long story.
	They put her in a rug.
	Kenneth said Santi, the mother, used a stun gun, went in her bedroom.
	It's a beautiful townhouse off of Madison Avenue.
	Oh, that gargoyle.
	She had so much money, Mrs. Silverman.
	It's a beautiful place, but she was kind of lonely.
	So she would rent out two floors, like apartments, and just have people.
	And they whacked her.
	And she never had problems.
	And these two come along.
	She thinks it's a mother and a son.
	Well, they were grifters.
	And supposedly, they said they might have been more than just mother and son.
	Don't say that.
	If you know what I mean.
	This is a family show.
	I don't want to go there.
	If you know what I mean.
	No.
	Well, he turned on her in prison.
	Look at Cloudy.
	Cloudy.
	I call him Cloudy.
	Stormy weather.
	I think it's Cloudy.
	I'm in Toronto.
	We now have bicycle laws, their own lanes, traffic lights, cops for biking specifically.
	Not only cars.
	This is Toronto.
	I hate that.
	Well, I don't know.
	We woke up a few years ago.
	And there were these shitty bikes.
	No, but every street started having bicycle lanes.
	So they cut out, right?
	And then they moved the streets even further.
	They made that parking in the middle of the street.
	So it's like one lane each.
	You know what I'm talking.
	Right.
	And those city bikes.
	Well, we call them shitty bikes.
	Well, you say that.
	Yeah, they're horrible.
	There's Cloudy.
	It's my man, Cloudy.
	Or Claudy.
	I like Cloudy.
	Cloudy's my man.
	Bloomberg wanted this to become a walking and a bicycle city based on Europe.
	Paris has...
	I believe it's Paris has...
	Claudia says, I'm a Michigander.
	Don't give me that crap.
	I don't know where you're from, buddy.
	But anyway, you're okay in my book.
	Either way.
	Did you hear me?
	I think Paris has congestion.
	Oh, no.
	I think it's Paris.
	Crypto says, I don't know about y 'all New Yorkers.
	Trump needs a theme song.
	I think so.
	I think he picked YMCA as his theme song.
	You could use a better one.
	Bringing back the trains is nearly impossible.
	We worked on reestablishing the connection between the Poconos and New York City.
	By the way, I will say this.
	The Moynihan Terminal is beautiful.
	Beautiful.
	The old post office across from Penn Station.
	This is...
	The garden?
	That's another smell.
	If you blindfold me and take me to the old Carnegie Deli or Penn Station, I'll smell it.
	There's a...
	Not the post office.
	That's Moynihan Hall.
	That is very much like Grand Central.
	That kind of feeling and vibe.
	Claudia says, I was raised in Michigan.
	Moved here in 2019.
	Yeah, you know, you're making this up.
	I know where you're from.
	I bet you just stopped at the airport a lot.
	Where are you from?
	I'm just kidding.
	It's a good name.
	It could be cloudy, but I'm saying cloudy.
	I like cloudy.
	He's okay.
	He's in my book.
	It doesn't really matter.
	Steve Conner just says things like the ecstasy of gold.
	He just says these things.
	What does that mean?
	I don't know.
	He just says these things.
	And that's the way it goes.
	Poopsie says you two are cute.
	Thank you, Poopsie.
	Appreciate that.
	We're two Poopsies.
	San Francisco smelled bad.
	Look at this Billy Jack, ladies and gentlemen.
	What you did.
	Anyway, San Francisco smelled bad prior to New Scum's influence.
	Yep.
	It was a very nice place, San Francisco.
	San Francisco was a gorgeous city.
	The warmth and all that stuff.
	Back in the day.
	Chinatown.
	They had that big Chinatown area.
	It's going to come back.
	I think so.
	I hope so.
	It has to.
	It'll just be a new type of...
	It's going to come back.
	It's too valuable.
	I'm putting all my hope in this four years.
	Yep.
	I want to remind everybody.
	So happy this guy's in.
	Don't even say it because we just have to keep going.
	24-7-365.
	We must remain vigilant the next four years and then have J.D. Vance take over.
	We can never lose it again for those criminals.
	Did you just call me Billy Jack Haynes?
	Billy Jack Haynes versus Billy Jack the movie, but Billy Jack Haynes.
	I remember seeing him with Gordon Soley, N.W.A.
	One of the best things I ever saw, I gotta tell you something, as a kid, well not as a kid, but at that time, Billy Jack...
	Billy Jack came out and says, hey Gordon, and he had the hat, just like you have.
	Hey Gordon, yeah.
	They had the Florida Sheriff's Boys Ranch.
	It was like an orphanage.
	So he said, so Billy Jack came in and goes, hey Gordon, listen, this little boy named Timmy, Timmy Anderson, who's dying of a disease.
	He's telling this terrible story.
	He gave me this little, little, little lamp.
	This is for you, Timmy.
	And Timmy's got weeks to go.
	And Timmy's, Timmy, I'm going to go out there and win this for you, Timmy.
	And Timmy gave me this little lamp.
	And I'm thinking, oh, shit, I know what's coming.
	And Gordon was just, that's terrific.
	And Gordon, can you keep an eye on this?
	He goes, sure, Billy.
	I'm thinking, no, don't leave it there.
	Because this lamp means the world to Timmy.
	Okay, Timmy, I'm going to go wrestle now.
	Okay, and I'm imagining this poor kid hooked up, you know, at the Florida Sheriff's.
	Boys Ranch and Ocala or Opalock and wherever and all of this.
	Sure enough, here comes the heel.
	So!
	What's your name, huh?
	Kimmy?
	I said, no.
	Not the lamp.
	That's why the heel was the lamp.
	And there's Billy Jack Haines.
	He says, no!
	No!
	And he's looking around.
	And instead of running out, he's just in the ring pleading.
	And he took the lamp.
	He crushed it.
	Stepped on it.
	And I expect that somewhere in Opalock it...
	Some straight line.
	We lost Timmy.
	So when you said Billy Jack Haynes, Dutch Mantel, who gave us the name Shoe Baby, that's our computer name, the great Dutch Mantel.
	In any event, I want to hear a great story too.
	Gordon would do live taping from the Sportatorium 2530841.
	Plenty of free parking.
	There were no parking anywhere.
	Anyway, it was the Sportatorium, this little tiny place.
	Sportatorium.
	So there was a routine they were going to do, and they did live the tape on Tuesday or Wednesday.
	And they went, and this guy went, and he said, Gordon!
	I had a statue.
	This is NWA wrestling, for those of you from the 70s and 80s.
	Gordon, I had a statue commissioned to me.
	And it was a night.
	It looked like something from...
	Like a garden center.
	Like something you put on your lawn.
	And I had this commission to me!
	Because I'm the greatest wrestler in the world!
	Anyway, he's the heel, so he goes into the ring.
	So the face comes out, baby face comes out and says, So!
	Is this your statue?
	Means a lot to you?
	And he says, No!
	No, of course, they always plead.
	They never get out and try to interrupt.
	No!
	Donnie goes, Well, I'll tell you what I think of your statue!
	Hey, Stag Scout, whoever you are!
	And he takes the statue and he slams it and it bounces right back.
	It's reinforced with rebar.
	It's an indoor-outdoor.
	It's an all-weather statue.
	Nobody thought this thing was indestructible.
	Gordon says, we're going to return after we restore order.
	And they have like a minute to shatter this thing.
	So they got sledgehammers.
	They're slamming it.
	And people are in the audience looking at this like...
	This isn't real!
	And they're slamming it.
	And they came back and he said, alright, we've restored order.
	There's no...
	And the guy's like this.
	It's powder with rebar sticking out.
	One of the greatest funniest things.
	I was howling.
	Gordon never lost.
	For those who don't know the name Gordon Sully, the greatest wrestling announcer, you would have loved the work.
	He would have loved you.
	I think everything's a work.
	I say to you all the time.
	It's a work.
	Oh, my God.
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't mean to do that.
	You're digressing.
	Well, Darlene brought up there's a nice Chinatown in Washington.
	That's it?
	Well, you're digressing.
	Okay.
	Chinatown in Washington.
	Remember last time you were there?
	No, but we do have a restaurant we like that we go to.
	It's the worst, but we love it.
	No.
	Well, what do you mean?
	It's kind of just a simple place, but...
	Why are you making that fit?
	They just throw the thing down.
	We like it.
	They throw the noodles.
	It's a very simple restaurant, but we like it, and a lot of congressional staffers, I'll put it that way, go there.
	It's kind of very plain and simple, but we have our favorite shop, right?
	We got that cat that time.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's powered by the sun, and sometimes it goes crazy.
	It's waving its paw in the windowsill, right?
	Yeah.
	And, yeah, we've got our places there.
	We go.
	There is it.
	Keep talking.
	No, I think they have a decent, but again, like many other places, well, no, because Chinatown here in New York has taken over Little Italy.
	That's the exception.
	In Washington, though, Chinatown also is being very much reduced, right?
	The opposite of New York.
	So it's kind of one strip and a side street now.
	A little shady last time we were there.
	This was our famous pizza.
	Our favorite.
	Two Amy's in D.C. Yeah, but we gotta like...
	Oh, that's out of the way.
	It's a little bit of a road trip.
	It's where Obama lived.
	She was up at the observatory.
	Oh, it's like Colorama.
	Yeah.
	Oh, that's where Obama lived.
	Right.
	But it's across from...
	The National Cathedral.
	Yes.
	But two Amy's.
	Delicious.
	We're gonna go back there.
	Now you're making me hungry.
	Now you're making me hungry.
	Whenever we go, sometimes we'll order something and they'll say, okay, you're going to share that?
	We say, share it?
	For one of us.
	We're like, we eat.
	We just want one.
	What?
	Or like when they say, like, oh, you have healthy appetite.
	Yeah.
	They're like, are you going to need a box to bring anything on my box?
	What are you talking about?
	We're hungry.
	Yeah, we eat.
	We went to that place.
	Remember that?
	We found a place in Suffern, New Jersey.
	It's fantastic.
	La Vanya.
	It means the blackboard.
	And we went in there.
	We wouldn't leave.
	After a Warriors event.
	Yes.
	But the guy says, you know, I can normally have one.
	No!
	It was a freezing cold night.
	Remember that?
	No.
	We eat.
	Oh, there's something.
	Yeah, we eat.
	I don't like this when people don't eat and stuff like that.
	So, yeah, he was a little presumptuous, wasn't he?
	With the amount of food we were...
	Where I was, where I live, we call ours Asia Town.
	Chinatown, taking over Little Italy.
	Yep, you just...
	Chinatown...
	It's been going on for years.
	Yes.
	It is...
	Yep.
	Little Italy right now is pretty much one block.
	But if you want to go to Chinatown, Flushing, Flushing Queens, dear God.
	Grandma Pizza, Brooklyn.
	Grandma Pizza...
	They say it started somewhere on Long Island.
	There's grandma pizza, there's grandpa pizza, and there's Sicilian.
	I'm not going to name names, because I don't remember the name.
	But you were ranting and raving about a pizza place one time out on Long Island, and we actually went.
	And I was so disappointed.
	I'm going to just say that.
	Do you know what I'm talking about?
	Right, right.
	Let me also tell you something.
	There's something to be said.
	Have you tried Detroit pizza?
	Now, Detroit pizza is very interesting.
	They have, it's kind of like a grandma, but the outside is charred.
	It's kind of higher.
	No, it's almost like a, it's a little bit like a grandma, a little bit like Chicago, but not the deep dish.
	But the pans.
	You're making me hungry.
	Oh, I'm starving.
	But the pans were supposedly from auto workers would take them.
	There were oil pans, I think, from old cars or whatever.
	And they all had this square style.
	Detroit.
	The styles are Detroit, New York, Chicago.
	I think St. Louis may have one.
	And of course, the, if you're really into it, New Haven.
	Frank Pepe, that is terrific.
	They chop it in ways.
	Yeah, and they have this thing called a beets.
	If you like clams, we don't get that, but clams on the people.
	But they give you a nice big pizza.
	But they chop them.
	You know how you normally have a piece like this?
	They just hack them.
	You'll get a piece like this.
	I think it tastes better.
	Pizza is...
	Look at this.
	Try Ace's Pizza.
	Where is that?
	Williamsburg.
	This is Christos.
	We have to go to Williamsburg.
	Brooklyn is...
	It's like another state.
	Another world.
	And Staten Island?
	That's another country.
	Another country.
	How did that bakery do, by the way?
	Did they ever sue?
	Did they settle?
	No.
	I don't know what.
	Maybe quietly they were given some money.
	I don't know.
	Maybe something from USAID.
	I haven't heard.
	I'll be digging into that one.
	But they're very nice.
	They said, we just want to get back to business.
	And they had a tremendous holiday season.
	They don't have a website.
	They don't have shipping.
	So, you know.
	But they were overwhelmed also with all the orders.
	Marco says we get a dough and make our own because no one can make a decent one.
	You know what the only problem is?
	You have to have an oven.
	Like a pizza oven.
	We've made pizza.
	Oh yeah, we've done it.
	It's tasty.
	We got some from Stu Leonard's.
	Well, the dough.
	Yeah.
	Freedom says, you are a beautiful couple.
	Happy Valentine's Day.
	Me and my wife are going on 33 years in September.
	Cherish these wonderful moments in life.
	Absolutely.
	Thank you, Freedom.
	Freedom.
	That's just some people talking.
	Crypto says, scratch that grandma's Long Island, yeah, and Detroit style all day.
	Never hear of a grandpa.
	You make my day.
	Love it.
	You know, it's interesting how many, I told you, crispy pizza is my new one.
	I gotta go.
	I know you keep talking about it.
	Let's just do your show next week and then we'll go the next day to Crispy Pizza.
	Sometimes she's like, what are you doing?
	I can't do that when you'll watch food videos and things all night in bed and I'm hungry and the last thing I want to see is food videos.
	It's as close to it as I...
	And you're in luck because tonight I will be able to finish off year seven of Designing Women.
	I'm at the end.
	How long have you been watching?
	Not that long, actually.
	Well, I was on a warrior's mission, so it's probably been almost three weeks because I wasn't able to watch it a lot, but I've been watching several episodes.
	I love you too, and Lynn, you are so beautiful.
	This is true.
	Thank you.
	Connecticut Avenue?
	I just want to say, I'm not kidding when I say this.
	Don't you feel honored that all these people from across the world tune in?
	Of course.
	And we're sitting on a computer.
	People are commenting.
	It's Valentine's Day.
	I've never had such a great Valentine's Day.
	It's the most incredible thing.
	Here we are talking to you.
	We're leveraging the internet for good.
	What would it be like the next Regis and Joy?
	Where's Joy?
	Joy moved to California after Ridge died, and I believe lives by...
	I don't think Joy got a big kick out of me.
	Joy didn't get a kick out of you.
	Ridge did, but Joy...
	Diaz says, Happy Valentine's to you, cute, crazy guys.
	Thank you, Diaz.
	Thank you, Diaz.
	But she moved out, two daughters, and they have some grandkids, so she moved out.
	Regis was...
	No, Joy was a real...
	What would be the word?
	Fungia.
	Fungia face.
	And he was fun and generous and loving and nice.
	And she was the best in my face.
	Why?
	Why was she like that?
	But then when she went on the show, remember when Kathy Lee or I think Kelly, when they would not be there, Kelly Ripa, I think she would be the co-host and she'd be all cutesy and smiles and all that.
	He was so good.
	I loved him.
	Very nice man.
	Oh, I loved him.
	I loved him.
	But he was genuinely a nice man.
	A nice person.
	People tell me great stories about, you know, just, oh, Carla says, Carla says, Napolitano fatto in casa.
	All right.
	Ooh, all this kind of food talk going on.
	Napolitano.
	Crypto Domini says, it's like town, it's like town hall drive in theater, all pizza you can eat.
	Oh my God.
	I don't want to talk about that anymore.
	Oh, I love it.
	No, I don't want to talk about food.
	It's making me hungry.
	Oh, I love it.
	No, I could do it.
	I'm looking at this.
	I see what you're doing.
	I'm looking this up.
	Fato and Casa.
	There's all this.
	There's a lot of stuff going on here.
	Keep talking.
	Just checking.
	No, I'm just gearing up.
	This is very nice and relaxing on Valentine's night.
	I have a busy week next week.
	A lot of things going on.
	Brooklyn DA's office.
	Yeah.
	Washington, D.C. Because of Lin's Warriors.
	So make sure you follow her at Lin's Warriors on YouTube.
	Let me thank her.
	Let her running around.
	Let me thank her.
	Crypto Comedy.
	Carla, Cookie CEO, you are a delight.
	Carla, you're very generous.
	Thank you very much.
	Please make sure you tell your mother that we love her.
	Yes, and our condolences.
	Absolutely.
	DS, thank you.
	CD Crypto, Domini, Freedom, Nelson A, Nikki DF.
	Nicky the F. Nicky the F. You're watching, Nicky.
	He's watching.
	Old pal of mine.
	Crystal Starver, The Honeyman.
	Caroline of Utah.
	This is beautiful.
	Otherwise, we had our sweetheart.
	Heart-shaped meatloaf.
	That's my favorite.
	I love that.
	Cha-Cha Muldowney, thank you.
	Crypto.
	Edie Crowley.
	Dubree.
	Stephen Ross and Deb Kemp.
	The enigmatic.
	The incredibly dangerous Deb Kemp.
	Remember Dangerous Danny Hodge?
	You don't know.
	No, I don't want to remember those things, whatever they are, whatever you're talking about.
	Danny Hodge had incredible tendon strength.
	Well, I want to say that you sent me such beautiful flowers.
	I did.
	And everywhere I looked, everybody, I kept finding cards.
	Oh, we do that.
	But we do that anyway.
	We do that.
	But all day long.
	I go to this one little place in Clifton.
	I like these old ladies.
	Probably younger than me.
	Probably younger than I am.
	But I walk in and get every card I can get.
	And we just hide them all day.
	And I hear this.
	Nobody's bathroom related.
	You've got to be creative where something falls.
	That's exactly what you do.
	And I find them all day long.
	We've got the thing over here.
	We've got this one over here.
	We even had a party in this house.
	That's from the dollar store.
	We know what we're doing with this.
	But you know what's sad?
	Is that...
	These card stores barely exist these days.
	And a very big Hallmark store.
	It was there for years.
	I'm 34th and 2nd.
	Yep.
	So sad.
	I used to go there.
	So sad.
	There's Indians on there, right?
	I love them.
	They were so...
	Yes.
	And closing.
	Closing, closing.
	I'm very upset about that.
	I love a good card store.
	I like a nice one, too.
	It has mahogany.
	And also now I gave some kind of a Latin look.
	You gave me some sort of Hispanic card.
	I'm going to spread the love around.
	But one was very deceiving because the couple on the outside were very like Hispanic looking.
	Right.
	And then when I opened the card and it was the same people but the skin was like very dark.
	It was very weird.
	Sometimes also when we have the I get the best flower guy in New York.
	The best.
	And we do our thing and he so sometimes I'll say I know they're coming.
	You want to get them before they're rushing.
	So I'll say things like We're Sherlock Holmes over here.
	You can't put anything past me.
	You got any change.
	You're fine.
	You got 20 minutes.
	Why?
	I don't know.
	Maybe you got 20. Where are you going?
	I'm not going.
	Yeah, when you say 20 minutes, I just want to know if you have a 20. Why?
	But she's like, what are you getting at?
	What's going on?
	She will come up with this.
	She can...
	Oh, my God.
	Somebody says, you know what I was thinking about?
	And I went online.
	And I found out.
	And I found that she did this.
	And they...
	Anything you do online, in five minutes she finds out.
	Everything about you.
	I think you work with the NSA, unbeknownst to me.
	I think you got my number, mister.
	Anyway, Toots, I love you.
	Happy Valentine's Day.
	And to everybody out there, we love you so much.
	Happy Valentine's Day.
	This is more than just a...
	This is more than...
	Whatever this is that we do.
	We're like a family.
	It's very important that people have a place to land or share.
	Look how people are talking to each other in the chat.
	Seriously, it's a beautiful thing.
	A place to come.
	I just love all these people.
	Alright, dear friends.
	We'll see you tomorrow in the morning.
	Don't forget to subscribe to Lynn's Warriors on YouTube.
	Don't forget the Lionel Eagle and also Lionel Nation because for some reason people will watch these and they don't subscribe.
	Or you'll be unsubscribed.
	What is that?
	We don't even know.
	I do want to say, though, if I may say so, there are a lot of successes coming out of Washington, and I am so thankful and hopeful the doors are open.
	Like what?
	Well, as far as the work we do at the Warriors, we just had a tremendous act passed called the Take It Down in the Senate, sponsored by Senator Ted Cruz, and I will be visiting his office next week.
	And also, Senator Amy Klobuchar, and you'll notice, Democrat and Republicans.
	Absolutely.
	Because it's all bipartisan.
	Blumenthal did a great job.
	Lindsey Graham did a great job.
	We have to keep these bills bipartisan.
	That is the way to do it.
	We have to erase anything we personally think about anybody out of our minds.
	And you can go back and march into those rooms like you used to.
	March into those rooms in my high heels.
	To take it down is holding big tech.
	Now, this is very responsible if images are reported.
	Inappropriate images, I think you know what I mean, everybody, of children.
	I'm talking children now.
	If they do not, within 48 hours, address it, take it down, they will be held criminally responsible.
	And that's what we need.
	Things with children like that.
	So I'm very...
	Now it's up to the House.
	Because in the old days, if somebody put something up about Trump, it would have been taken down immediately and you would have been flagged and you would have been...
	But it's all, there's so many good things in the works.
	So many good things.
	I want everybody to stay tuned, keep their ear to the ground.
	Also, if I put out a call to please sign on to any of these bills, you know, as a constituent, it's just your name and your zip code, basically.
	Absolutely.
	We need that because we have a couple that are coming back around that will be reintroduced and we need support with that.
	But I'm so hopeful and happy.
	And that all of this is going on.
	And that I see New York City in like the last week starting to get so cleaned up.
	Unbelievable.
	And the mayor is doing anything Trump says.
	Especially after they drop.
	Prosecutors quit.
	Quit!
	What the hell?
	Just the beginning, my friends, as I say.
	There's a new sheriff in town.
	Alright kids, have a great and glorious day.
	Happy Thanksgiving.
	I don't know.
	You said it at the beginning of the show.
	Thanksgiving.
	What is with me and Thanksgiving?
	Because you're thankful.
	Because I'm demented.
	But you did say it at the beginning of the show.
	You're like happy.
	I thought maybe you were just doing some kind of wordplay on Thanksgiving.
	I used to say wedding and funeral.
	Not good.
	Not good.
	Crypto says YouTube algorithm suggests most Trump suggests most Trump ever this week.
	Excellent!
	Well, that's good.
	Maybe, you know what?
	Maybe we're coming along.
	We are coming along.
	All right, dear friends.
	Have a great and glorious day.
	See you tomorrow.
	Don't forget, until then, as we always say, the monkey's dead.
	Oh, Laurie Perigo.
	Sorry, Laurie.
	Thank you.
	Laurie, I say hello to you.
	Don't want to be rude.
	There's wonderful, generous people.
	Wonderful.
	In any event, let me see.
	Oh, yes.
	The monkey's dead.
	The show's over.
	Suya.
	Da-da.
