00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.820 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:00.080 Listen, all you New Yorkers.
00:01:02.360 You mean taxi?
00:01:04.000 Okay, then you want to look around?
00:01:05.300 This is the 77
00:01:07.140 WABC Minicast.
00:01:10.900 I wax
00:01:11.700 fantastic, as they say, about
00:01:13.700 the good old days of
00:01:15.300 real first class.
00:01:18.500 You get a first class
00:01:19.580 flight now, if it's two hours
00:01:21.460 or less, it's not
00:01:23.700 first class. They should just call it
00:01:25.420 kind of a bigger seat
00:01:27.160 and that's really the only thing you're
00:01:29.780 getting. They do business now internationally.
00:01:31.920 It's like a lot of the three class
00:01:33.620 services are no good. They just have business
00:01:35.700 and coach. You take a low class?
00:01:39.000 Call me when you
00:01:39.860 have no class. No class.
00:01:41.680 Alright. Yeah, but I
00:01:43.080 I'm flying business to England.
00:01:45.560 I won't fly coach to England, but I'm using
00:01:47.620 miles and it's costing me all
00:01:49.860 of my United miles.
00:01:51.380 Like 500,000 miles to go round-trip business.
00:01:55.400 And what airline is that? 0.97
00:01:57.340 I'm doing United out of Newark, which, I mean, literally, I couldn't be stupider. 0.97
00:02:05.080 They really have screwed the pooch on their air traffic control over there. 0.99
00:02:08.940 They've always been terrible. 1.00
00:02:10.360 I've been flying down to Newark for 30 years. 1.00
00:02:11.780 They suck. 0.99
00:02:12.780 They've always sucked, and they've just gotten exponentially worse. 1.00
00:02:16.980 They don't have money to do what they need to do. 0.90
00:02:20.460 And infrastructure, like you could have the money, but if you don't have the person that's going to put the refurbation in place, they're using systems that are so old.
00:02:32.800 They're so old.
00:02:34.340 How old are they?
00:02:38.300 Moths flying out of there.
00:02:40.040 Boop.
00:02:40.780 I was one time I said, we're going to land.
00:02:43.440 And they said, is this Amelia Earhart?
00:02:45.180 Ed.
00:02:45.660 70 year olds are rolling 1.00
00:02:50.780 They are just 1.00
00:02:51.780 They're barely remembering
00:02:54.300 What we're talking about
00:02:56.100 Yeah so
00:02:57.980 Going to England though
00:03:00.220 You have to
00:03:01.080 You cannot fly coach
00:03:02.680 No
00:03:03.160 For a flight that long
00:03:04.200 Especially 2025 coach
00:03:06.280 No I mean
00:03:07.320 Hopefully I'll be able
00:03:08.580 Just to relax a little bit
00:03:09.740 And I'm also
00:03:10.280 Because it's such a fun thing to do
00:03:11.960 You know since I left
00:03:13.860 Sirius XM
00:03:14.820 and I parted ways.
00:03:16.020 Yes.
00:03:16.520 I've been a little more cautious with money,
00:03:18.420 doing a lot more road work.
00:03:20.020 Gotcha.
00:03:20.480 Yeah, a little bit more, like, making sure.
00:03:23.280 That's what you gotta do. 1.00
00:03:24.300 Not stupid. 1.00
00:03:25.140 You don't want to be stupid. 1.00
00:03:26.620 So, you know, I'll use miles. 1.00
00:03:28.160 I'm not going to just spring for a seat.
00:03:30.700 The flight over there, though,
00:03:34.140 Coach would be a nightmare,
00:03:36.760 especially these days.
00:03:37.640 I look at some of these old films
00:03:41.000 where they're like,
00:03:42.120 here they are on the Pan Am Clipper.
00:03:44.420 Yeah.
00:03:44.820 Going to Europe, and they're rolling a giant roast beef down the aisle with a chef, with the big chef hat on, and a carving knife, a giant machete.
00:03:59.860 Yeah.
00:04:00.160 And this is for coach.
00:04:05.080 This is for coach.
00:04:07.080 But back then, though, here's the disadvantage.
00:04:09.480 Yeah.
00:04:09.720 Those planes, like the Clipper and stuff, didn't they fly at, like, a lot of them flew at, like, 13,000 or 14,000 feet?
00:04:16.200 They're a little higher, but not under the weather.
00:04:18.220 You were right through it.
00:04:19.720 They were bouncing.
00:04:20.560 They would have vomit buckets.
00:04:21.460 They would give you, like, buckets to throw up in. 0.62
00:04:23.740 Roast beef and vomit buckets.
00:04:25.120 Yeah, on the Clipper.
00:04:27.120 And they had some of those cool, like, bongs that you could sleep in.
00:04:30.300 Yeah.
00:04:30.420 There were some amazing lounges and stuff.
00:04:34.340 And here's another thing.
00:04:35.420 I did it again.
00:04:37.960 I mean, I did it again.
00:04:39.880 I know. 0.98
00:04:40.420 You know, I thought I didn't curse because I didn't put the N part on. 0.99
00:04:43.740 Right. 0.74
00:04:44.040 No, not the N part. 0.50
00:04:45.140 Yeah. 0.99
00:04:45.340 The F-N. 0.63
00:04:46.340 Yeah. 0.92
00:04:46.740 I just said the F part, but that's a curse, too. 0.77
00:04:49.640 Yeah, you don't have to put the N at the end of it. 0.81
00:04:51.420 Yeah, yeah.
00:04:52.020 I get that.
00:04:55.120 It's one of the things about flying that I hate now.
00:04:59.280 They don't...
00:05:00.240 Oh, God, now I curse, so I can't really recall what I said.
00:05:05.640 Oh, they don't?
00:05:06.380 It's terrible.
00:05:06.960 I thought I was a professional, but I'm not.
00:05:11.800 Yeah, corn pop.
00:05:14.900 Because I curse.
00:05:16.340 You were saying about flying in the old days.
00:05:19.160 Yeah, the good old roast beef.
00:05:20.860 The good old roast beef flying.
00:05:23.160 Knife.
00:05:23.520 No, it's never coming back.
00:05:25.200 It's never coming back.
00:05:27.320 Let's talk to Rose.
00:05:29.360 Oh, my God.
00:05:30.340 Rose in Florida.
00:05:31.400 Hi, Rose. 0.73
00:05:32.460 Hey, Rose.
00:05:33.000 Are you serious?
00:05:34.060 I love you so much.
00:05:35.620 Ooh.

00:05:36.960 Well, I do.
00:05:38.560 Well, thank you, Rose.

00:05:42.620 Wow.
00:05:42.960 You guys are hot.
00:05:43.660 Thank you.
00:05:44.380 I need to tell you this.
00:05:45.300 There were these calls on Sirius and XM.
00:05:48.880 Did you feel bad when he fell off the door at the end of the movie into the ocean?
00:05:53.760 No, no movie.
00:05:55.520 I just felt bad when you're not your real self.
00:05:58.820 And I really like you guys because the world today needs the reality.
00:06:04.440 And down here in the Villages, you know it's a retirement community down here.
00:06:07.880 You're in the Villages?
00:06:09.320 Oh, yeah.
00:06:10.080 I can hear that charm bracelet jingling.
00:06:13.000 You have a golf cart?
00:06:14.740 Oh, God.
00:06:15.820 You know what they say about the Villages?
00:06:17.340 Oh, my God.
00:06:18.220 There's so much this and that.
00:06:19.540 And they put pom-poms on their carts if they're single.
00:06:22.780 A lot of swapping.
00:06:23.840 Is there swapping going on and swinging?
00:06:26.500 No.
00:06:27.240 Down in the Villages?
00:06:28.600 They're too old.
00:06:30.360 Well, what are you doing down there then, your young whippersnapper?
00:06:33.900 Are you ready for this?
00:06:35.340 Yeah.
00:06:35.760 Are you ready for this?
00:06:36.760 I'm ready.
00:06:37.340 I'm in theater down here.
00:06:39.400 You're in theater down in.
00:06:41.320 Yeah.
00:06:42.160 Down in the villages.
00:06:43.320 In the villages in Florida.
00:06:45.880 What kind of theater do you do?
00:06:48.200 Who are you playing?
00:06:48.700 The Grim Reaper?
00:06:50.680 No, not the Grim Reaper. 0.99
00:06:52.140 God damn it. 0.99
00:06:52.640 I really do a lot of good stuff because I did beat her up in New York. 0.99
00:06:56.460 I came from New York.
00:06:57.980 Hey, yeah.
00:06:59.280 Okay.
00:06:59.920 All right.
00:07:00.220 And I was a coal miner's daughter before I went to New York.
00:07:03.860 So it was pretty good life.
00:07:07.260 Yes, I was.
00:07:08.840 I love you guys so much.
00:07:11.520 Can I tell you something?
00:07:12.800 Yes.
00:07:13.100 Can I tell you something?
00:07:14.080 Yes.
00:07:14.840 You know what bothered me what you said tonight?
00:07:17.640 What bothered you, dear?
00:07:19.280 You said you retired.
00:07:20.060 You said you retired.
00:07:21.780 Don't retire.
00:07:23.200 You said you retired?
00:07:25.200 What?
00:07:26.760 I didn't say I retired.
00:07:29.240 I said I was pulling back on the throttle a little bit.
00:07:31.340 Everyone said he should.
00:07:32.980 Oh, Jesus.
00:07:34.740 I said I was pulling back on the throttle a little bit.
00:07:38.140 Yeah, you're very tired.
00:07:38.960 You know, and then I wind up getting more.
00:07:41.500 I wind up having more responsibility and work than I ever had before I pulled the throttle back.
00:07:47.360 That's all.
00:07:48.000 Well, boys, don't pull back on your throttles ever.
00:07:52.020 Yes, that's what I have to say.
00:07:54.200 All right, Rose.
00:07:55.440 I do see there down here, I've done the Golden Girls, but I was not one of the Golden Girls.
00:08:00.160 I was a tramp. 0.98
00:08:01.500 I was a tramp. 1.00
00:08:02.600 The copper girls. 1.00
00:08:05.140 The tin girls. 0.94
00:08:06.820 I'm a hot chick down there. 1.00
00:08:07.980 Oh, yeah, you're hot down there in the villages.
00:08:11.120 Are you the hottest chick in the villages?
00:08:13.160 Yes.
00:08:13.880 Well, the golden girls meant something different.
00:08:16.660 Well, no, I played the tramp at the Savannah, so that's what I did.
00:08:21.100 But can I tell you something?
00:08:22.480 Charlie Chaplin type?
00:08:24.400 No, hell no.
00:08:26.280 Hell no.
00:08:27.360 I look hot. 0.99
00:08:28.340 Language.
00:08:29.100 I have good legs and good body.
00:08:31.220 Yeah.
00:08:31.500 Okay, good.
00:08:32.260 Oh, that's wonderful.
00:08:34.220 Yeah, there you go.
00:08:35.540 Yeah, yeah.
00:08:36.140 Okay.
00:08:36.700 Anyway, I got to...
00:08:38.100 What was your latest production that you were in?
00:08:41.720 Yeah.
00:08:42.500 The Golden Girls and I played a tramp.
00:08:45.220 In the Golden Girls?
00:08:46.900 Why didn't you get the part of one of the Golden Girls?
00:08:50.980 No, no, they're too old. 0.93
00:08:52.700 Oh, wow, you were too hot to play a Golden Girl.
00:08:57.360 Excuse me? 0.55
00:08:58.580 I am too hot. 1.00
00:09:00.000 Rose, may I ask you, and I know it's usually a question men don't ask women, how old a gal are you?
00:09:07.460 Are you ready for this, babe?
00:09:09.020 I'm ready.
00:09:09.540 And you are sexy.
00:09:11.080 I'm 75 years old.
00:09:12.860 Wow.
00:09:13.620 How are you too young to be a golden girl?
00:09:16.260 They were all like 40 back then.
00:09:18.660 Yeah.
00:09:19.520 Can I tell you what?
00:09:20.860 I had a lot of nice lifts.
00:09:23.500 Okay.
00:09:24.420 You've had some work done.
00:09:25.840 Okay.
00:09:26.400 You had a little work.
00:09:28.140 Scaffolding around her.
00:09:30.000 Hey, listen, scaffolding is wonderful.
00:09:33.100 A few lifts.
00:09:35.040 All right.
00:09:35.640 Scaffolding is wonderful.
00:09:36.940 I love you, boys.
00:09:37.880 I love you, love you to death.
00:09:39.600 Stitches don't pop like a sub that went too deep.
00:09:43.000 No, I didn't do that too much.
00:09:46.600 One good sneeze and the mesh breaks.
00:09:49.820 Looks like someone threw a chum on the stage.
00:09:52.960 Listen, you guys are a pitcher.
00:09:56.060 Oh, I should never say that.
00:09:57.760 Jesus, God.
00:09:58.360 I just sound terrible like I came from New York.
00:10:01.660 You know, language.
00:10:02.580 You're a method actor. 0.90
00:10:05.320 You play a tramp and you speak like one. 0.93
00:10:07.480 Yes, I am. 0.99
00:10:08.040 That's okay.
00:10:08.840 Yes, I am.
00:10:09.440 That's okay, Rose.
00:10:10.160 But can I tell you something?
00:10:11.160 Okay, one more.
00:10:12.360 Why is it that your program is so real and we enjoy it so much?
00:10:18.840 Thank you, Rose.
00:10:20.260 And you're the truth.
00:10:22.460 We try.
00:10:23.140 And you're so beautiful.
00:10:24.080 Oh, see.
00:10:25.040 No, you don't try.
00:10:25.740 Oh, wait, wait, wait.
00:10:26.300 I did teach at NYU one time, and I'm not even going to tell you who I work for,
00:10:30.900 which is a very famous person, but you're going to remember me.
00:10:34.440 You're going to remember me.
00:10:35.460 All right.
00:10:36.540 You worked for a famous person at NYU.
00:10:39.420 Famous at NYU.
00:10:40.740 Okay, we'll think about it.
00:10:41.640 I've got to take a break, though.
00:10:42.880 I've got to take a break, Rose.
00:10:43.980 But thank you for the call, and we appreciate your support, Rose.
00:10:48.600 Thank you, dear.
00:10:49.440 Thank you, dear.
00:10:50.660 There goes, all right, there goes Rose.
00:10:52.080 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
00:10:59.220 It takes you to front row views, voices lost in the music and new shared memories.
00:11:06.260 And when the last song fades, welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:11:10.260 The KLM Royal Dutch Airlines crew is here to ensure your journey home hits all the right notes.
00:11:17.860 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. When you travel, travel well.
00:11:22.080 A Safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:11:28.140 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:11:31.640 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:11:35.040 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
