(upbeat music) - Better strap yourself in. It's time for the Howie Car Show. - Even just now allowing the women to have brackets and what that does to encourage people to talk more about the women's teams to watch them. - And at the top of the second half, it's 16 to nine. Easton leads the scoring with four. - These gals sure do make it look difficult. - Live from the Matthews Brothers Studios. - I should start by saying, the only reason I'm able to stand here is because of the Greek community. - Choir, the nickname I'm very proud of. I am Joe Biden-Nopolis. - Before that, she was an ambassador in the Biden, Obama, double Biden. - Yeah, I don't know. Whatever it is, it's not right on the teleprompter. - Who's your captain, Howie Car? - You made that in Northman 2020. Are you happy with the state of America? - The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at that time. Am I gonna do that again this year? That answers no. - Rum swabs, hacks, and moon bounce beware, it's... (upbeat music) Howie Car. - 844-542-42, the human interest stories about the earthquake are now appearing. There's one in the New York Post. The guy was having a vasectomy when the earthquake occurred. You know you're having a bad day when you're getting a vasectomy and there's an earthquake. 844, that didn't happen to me, but I did wake up as you know with Mayor Buddy C. Standing over my, over me with a scalpel in his hand. But I take that over an earthquake. 844-542-42, 844-5. Did you work at WNAC also? No, WNAC was the name of Channel 7. Before, it became WN-E-V New England video. That was when David Mugar picked it up and I was hired and it later became WHDH. And WHDH was owned by the, it's complicated. It was owned by W, it was owned by the Herald. And then it was sold to various people, sconics, et cetera, and it moved around. And I think the Celtics owned it. No, they, I don't know who owned it, but it ended up with Channel 7 with Mugar. And then I ended up back at Channel 7 after being fired at Channel 7. But I wasn't working at Channel 7. I was working at the radio station. And that's when I was selling the, selling the journalistic awards. Just for a joke, for a joke. 'Cause I was going back to RKO. We had crushed RKO from WHDH. And so we were coming back to take over the station after being fired for no, well, for reasons I can't go into for many reasons. Anyway, 844, 542, 42. We had a lot to get to this hour, including the Biden remarks. But I'll take a couple of calls here. - Someone wants to talk about the, me selling the WHDH Journalism Awards. Monique, you're next with how we car. Go ahead, Monique. - Yeah, you told that a little too quickly. So you worked at WHDH in what capacity? - I was the afternoon host at 850. - Oh, okay. - Of the, before WHDH was, was subsumed into the WRKO. I went head to head with Jerry Williams, and I won, and so I went back to RKO. And the station, and then WHDH became W-E-E-I. 'Cause the W-E-E-I had gone bankrupt, so they decided to put it on 850 for a while. - Okay, and then, so what happened at the point, though, that you were selling the journalistic awards that had been sold, and their station been sold at that point, or? - The station was gonna go from being a news talk station to being a sports station, and so they were, they were just, I mean, you know, a sports station is just basically people, Jock Sniffers, running around, talking how much they wanna have sex with Tom Brady, or whoever the, or Larry Bird, or whoever the athlete of the day is. So they didn't have a news department or anything like that. They were just, they were, so I just did it as a joke to get rid of, they had all these stupid trophies that had cost about probably 50 cents to produce. And so I just said, I'm taking 'em downstairs and selling 'em out front. - So, okay, okay, was this a reflection on the journalism of that station, or I'm trying to understand? - It was just a joke. It was a joke. - Okay, okay, right. Wow, that's something. - I was leaving the station for the second time. I'd been fired from Channel 7 earlier, and then I, and now I was leaving kind of in victory, so I was selling everything. It's not a profound story, Monique. I was not making a profound statement. - No, it's not, but it's kind of unusual that it is a little bit silly, you know, so it just was very interesting and amusing to hear that you did this, so. - Yeah, that's all, not a big deal, Monique. But thanks for the call, I appreciate it. Bye-bye. Bob, you're next with highway car, go ahead, Bob. - Yes, hello, Holly, this is your first time caller here, calling from New York. - Yes, I'm glad you're still alive, Bob. - Yeah, well, yes, I was gonna say, as I was listening to you, I didn't think I was gonna call it. All of a sudden, I felt the aftershock. We just had one just about right around six o'clock. - Really? - Yeah, I felt it. It wasn't as much as the one earlier today, I think it was 10, 20 in the morning, but yeah, we've had an aftershock, at least in my area, you might be hearing it on the news, I'm not too sure, but I figured I'd be the first one to call you about it. - Well, an update from New York, from Rockland County. Hang on, Bob, hang on. Thanks for the call, I appreciate it. Keep listening to the show. 844-542-42, breaking news. ♪ Da-da-da-da ♪ Chuck, you're next with Howie Carr, go ahead, Chuck. - Hi, Chuck, thanks. Hi, Howie, thank you for taking the call. - Sure. - I just wanna talk to you about a politician here on the North Shore, Sheriff Cropinger, who was the Lynn Police Chief, getting retirement, and also now sitting as Sheriff, getting paid well over $150,000. - I mean, this is not a rare occurrence in Massachusetts, is it, Chuck? 'Cause I just mentioned the two congressmen. - Yes, exactly. And, you know, he's a sitting sheriff now making $300,000. - Well, I don't think he's making $300. Oh, are you talking about with his pension? Do you know what his pension is from the city of Lynn? - His pension from Lynn is about $150,000. And I think he's-- - Oh, that seems really high. That seems really high, Chuck. 'Cause the DA's-- - Yeah, it is. - The DA's were only making like, you know, their pensions group four were only like making 110, only 110,000. - Well, if you look at the people that ran against Cropinger the first time, they were making an issue out of that, but as people say, there's nothing to see here. Move on. - Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I'll have to check into that. I haven't been following much of Essex County Sheriff's politics since Chuckles Reardon went down in flames. I wonder if he'll be mentioned that the Dukakis remembrance. Dukakis appointed two sheriffs, the Phil vacancies, both of whom went to prison. Honest John McGonigal and Chuckles Reardon. Thanks for reminding me of that, Chuck. I will definitely get that into my column. I wonder if Chuck is Chuckles Reardon. No, I don't know. I don't know about that. 844-500-4242. That trophy story was like, was Biden-esque. Well, I can't help it if it was by-- I mean, it was true. It was true. It was a goof. You know, you do four hours a day. You're doing your last day. You're in a weird place where you've worked on and off for a decade, and you're leaving it for the last time. You're going to have some laughs on-- you're going to try to have some laughs on the way out the door, or at least I was. Now my store begins in 1982. What do you want? What do you want me to say? How much money did you make selling trophies? I think I said I was going to give it to charity, but I didn't make anything. I made $5, $10. I think I said I was going to give it to the art street shrine or something like that. Any trophy wives? No trophy wives. All right, 844-500-4242. OK, now let's move on to real Biden stories here. And I know it's Friday evening, and some people may have had an adult beverage by now. But no one slipped anything into your drink if you're discombobulated or confused by what you're about to hear. The confusion, even if your stone cold sober, it will be in these sound cuts, or at least some of them. Cut 11. My administration is committed, absolutely committed, to ensuring that the party is responsible for this strategy. Pay-- party responsibility for this strategy or tragedy. She said-- My administration is committed, absolutely committed, to ensuring that the party is responsible for this strategy. Pay-- Cut 10. And they have committed to keep workers and payrolls on their businesses in Baltimore. Moon, cut 9. Day, my administration is announcing the first tranche of dislocated worker grants-- fancy phrase, which is dimes, all it is there, to make sure it helps create jobs for workers involved in the cleanup. What? I want a fancy phrase that sounds great. What? Day, my administration is announcing the first tranche of dislocated worker grants-- fancy phrase, which is dimes, all it is there, to make sure it helps create jobs for workers involved in the cleanup. They quote you on that, Mr. President. Fancy phrase, because it's dimes. Come on, I'm happy. Cut 8. Proud to announce that the federal government will ride over $8 million. He's proud to announce the federal government will rovide. Proud to announce that the federal government will ride. It will rovide. Rovide, 8.4. He just wanted to get to-- he just wanted to get home to Roebeth Beach and his remote control and his meat TV marathon of Matlock and his Swanson TV turkey dinner, and his tapioca pudding for dessert. Can't his caregivers rovide those nice things that are so necessary for him in his golden years? 8.4. 542. 42. 844. 542. 42. 42. I'm how we are. The emperor of hate, how he got, is back. Today's poll question is brought to you by local silver mint located in Ware, New Hampshire. Silver Dave will work with you directly. Contact him at local silver mint. Dot com, local silver mint.com. Jared, what's the poll question? What are the results thus far? Today's poll question, which you can vote in at howickarshow.com, is which candidate will RFK Jr. take more votes away from in the fall? Donald Trump, Joe Biden, or neither, he will be a negligible factor. I'm going to say Joe Biden. 81% of the audience says Joe Biden, 12% for neither. It will be a negligible factor and 7% for Donald John Trump. All right. Okay, let's play a few more cuts before we go back to the phone lines from Biden. I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. 508 says he said his ancestors were water men in Baltimore Harbor in the 1800s. Water men? Okay, I don't know. We didn't catch that one, but maybe we did. Maybe it's in here. That's six. I say to my dad, dad, they're mispronouncing ballmer. My dad and the Biden, please sit down. The Biden family goes all the way back to being water men in this bay for a long, long time back in the mid 1800s. What's a water man? I used to know some people whose last name was water man, but I don't think they were from Portland. They weren't from Baltimore. His, they were water men. I thought his name was Biden. Now we're finding out his name is water man. Cut seven. I could have Johnny Oh, I like that. Johnny Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Keep your arms out. Mr. President will make it harder for him to throw that net over them. Johnny Oh, knows all the great places. Little man, Roth would never be here. Where all the water men go. Okay. So this was last night Greek independence day at the White House. And so of course he had to become like forest gump. He had to become Greek or is he, is he more like a zelig or is he more like forest gump? Maybe like zelig. This gump was at every event. Zelig actually became whatever, wherever he was. Cut one. I think every Greek American in Delaware voted for me because they, no, no, no, no, no, no, by the way, as some of the Delaware's would tell you, that's why I acquired a nickname I'm very proud of. I am Joe Bidenopolis. Can we get a fact check on that one? Has anyone ever heard that that he was called Joe Bidenopolis? Now this is even bigger whopper, cut two. I should start by saying, the only reason I'm able to stand here is because of the Greek community. That's not hyperbole. That means it's a lie. It's one of those tells. Not a joke. Not kidding. Not hyperbole. All of which are tells for it's a lie. Now this is something I've never heard before and I don't know if you have either. Someone's reading from a teleprompter. Sometimes you get lost, the teleprompter gets stuck. That's why they always tell you in TV news to always have hard copy with you and make sure you've read the hard copy before the teleprompter goes on. I've never seen this happen before until now, cut three. I got into Wilmington and please move all that back, by the way. One of the things that I learned early on. Can a teleprompter go the other way? I don't even know that. I've never seen a teleprompter go the other way. I guess they can theoretically, right, Jared? When I worked, I was in Portland, I worked at WGME channel 13 there and I ran the teleprompter right out of college and you can scroll back up, but it screws everything up and the machine would freeze and we'd have to reboot it and we'd lose the teleprompter for about a minute and a half. Going back is not -- So it would be worse. It would be worse than just kind of ad-libbing and going forward. Yeah. Stumbling a bit. Yeah. Although the best was they had a little skip button for the packages, so you could just skip that. Cut 4. But before that, she was an ambassador and a Biden, a Obama, a double Biden, the Obama Biden administration. Do you know who I am? Yikes. Okay. This is -- he's told this whopper so many times we've lost count. Cut 5. And he once asked by Xi Jinping and I traveled 17,000 miles with him and -- Seven miles out. -- and I was out. And he looked at me and he said to me, "Can you define America?" And I could say the same thing if he asked me to define Greece. I said, "Yes, one word." I mean it sincerely. Possibilities recorded. I said, "One word, possibilities." How did I know that? How did you know that? How did you know that? Live from the Matthews Brothers Studios. 844-542-844-542-442. We have immigration news and I'll give you an update on Spinelli's who these people are that are contributing to Mara Healy during the time they're getting $10 million no bid contracts. What a -- it's quite a shocker that this is going on in Massachusetts state politics. I'm shocked. Shocked. But first we'll take a couple of calls on Brandon's appearances. Joe Bidenopolis and his -- his appearance in where his ancestors worked as water men. Joe, you're next with Howie Carr, go ahead, Joe. Hey, Howie, thanks for taking my call. Happy Friday to you. Thank you. Happy Friday to you. Thank you, sir. Great show, by the way. You know, my wife and I discussed this and I talked about these things that happen to us and the things we have to listen to come out of his Joe Bidenopolis mouth. And she says, "Oh, I feel so bad. I feel so bad for him." I said, "Wait a minute, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm going to drive a line in the sand here. I feel bad for us. I feel bad for me." Me too. Exactly. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. And it -- the other thing too is -- and I won't take up -- I know other people are trying to clamor to get on here to express their feelings on this crap. Not your stuff, but the stuff that comes out of his pie hole. It's just what the guy said in Baltimore, was that the mayor of Baltimore? Did you listen to what he said, the adjectives he used to describe Joe Biden and the things he's done? I nearly wanted to ram my car into a cement and button. I didn't even -- Did you hear that? No. I didn't even hear those. Is this the guy who said Tucken last year this week? The mayor of Baltimore. He might have. Yeah. Yeah. I think it had Brandon. That was him. He's another Brandon. Brandon Scott as opposed to Brandon Johnson, as opposed to President Brandon. Yes. Oh, my God. You know, if Dr. Joe Biden -- because I know according to the view, she's a doctor, right? Not a doctor, but a doctor. Maybe she has some speech pathology in her background. She could help her husband out with it, because it certainly would go a long way. She's the -- Edith Wilson, you know, became the acting president basically after Woodrow Wilson had a stroke back more than a hundred years ago. And now she's the new Edith Wilson. I mean, she just -- she will do anything to retain her death grip on power. Even though her husband is obviously non-compass menthas, and -- I won't even get into what else he might be. Thanks for the call, Joe. 844-542-42-617. Did you mention Blinken said we're going to add Ukraine to NATO, WTF, and they always said Trump would cause World War III. You know, that was our poll question yesterday. Was that a good idea or a bad idea? It was 95 to 5, I think, bad idea. Rocky, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Rocky. Hey, Howie. Thanks for taking my call. Listen, I know every day we go over what's going on with these pukes on the left and that idiot in the White House, but the biggest thing that scares me is how do we stop the illegals and the vote of fraud going forward? I don't know the answer to that question, Rocky. So what -- what -- it doesn't matter if we get -- if people engage the vote for Trump, you know they're not going to let him back in. How will I water? You know it, and I know it. You know what it's just sad. I mean -- Well, you know what he said the other day in one of his speeches? He said it's got -- it's a good new slogan. I don't know if it's, you know, if it could be delivered or not, too big to rig. You know, that's the old saying, you know, the Republicans have we got to win by more votes than they can steal. Because you know they're going to steal -- they're going to try to steal as many as they can, just like 2020. You're absolutely right, Rocky. I don't know the answer to it, and, you know, the new chairman of the RNC is saying that, you know, we should all vote early, you know, but I don't -- you know, I don't know. Well, we got to talk to this Jay Valentine again that we talk to sometimes to see what they're doing. I mean, they're winning battles here and there. You know, they got zucker bucks out of Wisconsin. They've -- they seem to have put a stop to these undated mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania. So they're winning here and there. But I don't know if it's enough. And I don't -- I don't think anybody does. And I hope -- I hope there's some people working somewhere in -- on the -- at the RNC or Trump headquarters who are -- who are trying to work to figure this thing out because the Democrats, they will do anything. They will do anything. They look what they're doing to Bobby Kennedy. I was like to hold him yesterday. He's got law -- he got -- they knocked him off the ballot in Nevada after telling him it was okay to solicit signatures without a vice presidential candidate's name on the petitions. And then after he got 15,000, 20,000 signatures and made the ballot, they told him that changed the rules. You know? If they'll do that to a Kennedy, they -- I think what they'll do to a Trump -- 844, 500, 42, 42, 844, 500, 42, 42. All right. This is from -- this is from the Herald. You know, I got to read this in the globe because they don't -- the globe doesn't do stories about arrests of illegal aliens for crimes in Boston. Boston-based U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ICE officers arrested two illegal aliens charged with raping Massachusetts children as well as another charged with murder in his home country. This was just posted about an hour -- less than an hour ago. Over the last week, ICE's enforcement and removal operations, ERO, Boston office, has announced it has arrested both a Colombian national and a Guatemalan illegal on separate charges of raping Massachusetts girls as well as an accused fentanyl trafficker and murderer from the Dominican Republic. Wonder if they're enjoying their catered meals from Spinelli's. The arrest began on March 21st when ERO agents arrested the Dominican national near his home in Sagas. ERO says the man faces local fentanyl trafficking charges has been previously arrested for assault and battery and is wanted for murder in his home country. The next month he was charged on various counts. Next the child rapist, both of whom were arrested on March 28th, an unidentified 33-year-old Guatemalan illegal faces a slew of criminal charges including nine counts of indecent assault and battery on a child, less than 14 years old when he was arrested near his Lynn residence according to a statement from ICE. His very presence in our community represents a dire threat to our residents, Todd Lyons, the head of ICE ERO unit in Boston said. The illegal Guatemalan has appeared several times in district courts and greater Boston including Lynn district court and Boston municipal court. But those courts eventually dismissed all criminal charges, what a shocker, huh? Finally child rape charges. He was indicted in Superior Court, arraigned February 26th, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. ERO lodged an arrest warrant and an immigration detainer on the savage from Guatemala. On November 20th, the head of his indictment but the agency says the state court system refused to honor the detainer and release the accused child rapist. Isn't that special? Massachusetts judges at work. Now that ERO has detained him, he will face an immigration judge's ruling. The same day they, and also in Lynn, they arrested a Colombian national charge with the rape of a girl older than 14. ERO says the man entered over the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas under Biden, January July 2022. After being admitted to the country by Biden, he was arraigned in Lynn district court for a rape and a decent assault and battery of a minor over 14. The ERO lodged an immigration detainer against him that day but says the Essex County Sheriff's Department didn't honor it and released him from custody. So this time it was the sheriff's department, not the court system. 844-542-42, isn't this special? I got more of this stuff too, I got from all over the country, murders, a guy, an illegal alien from Mexico just arrived here two weeks ago and chopped off his wife's head in front of their two kids, it's in Illinois. Margaret, you're next with Howie Carr, go ahead Margaret. Hi Howie. Hi. You know, I know the reason why New York City got that earthquake today because there's too many illegals bouncing around, rocket enrollment. Manhattan's going to flip over like Hank Johnson thought was going to happen to Guam a few years back? Yes. I said to myself, I got to call Howie and tell him that. Thank you, Margaret. Maybe it's God's judgment on the Sodom and Gomorrah that the United States of America has become. Thanks for the call, Margaret. Richard, you're next with Howie Carr, go ahead Richard. Hey Howie, I enjoyed your recollection of HDH and I just wanted to throw in a couple of other tidbits. Bob and Ray, Bob came from Winchester and Ray came from Lowell and Bob was a DJ there and Ray was a newsman and he kind of hooked up and began bantering and this show was called Matt and Ray with Bob and Ray and they were on for 15 minutes and but I remember Bob Clayton's Boston ballroom and who else was there, O'Ray Dory and Norm Nathan too. I remember Norm Nathan, I don't remember those other two guys, Norm Nathan and his wife Norm and Nathan was the gossip column, this is the eye for the for the old Boston Herald American. You know Bob, Bob, I never heard Bob and Ray on HDH but I heard him, they used to have a CBS show in the late 50s, early 60s, that thing was hilarious, that show was hilarious, I've listened to it on YouTube, have you ever listened to that? Oh yeah, I listened to it, I listened to it all the time Howie, that MacVeebee twins, Clyde and Claude, the non-identical twin, they have to lead it. I like it when they do the, they do they do they do parodies of the old radio shows up, they had Mr. Keene Tracer of Lost Persons, they made it into Mr. Trace Keener than most persons and it's just hilarious stuff if you know these old radio shows, it was really good, I recommend that highly, if you want to check out some of the late, late golden age radio comedy, thanks for the call Richard, I appreciate it, see some people appreciate the old HDH stories, I wasn't there that long, you know, just just a year.

Paul Benson wrote a great book about the Coconut Grove fire. He's been gone for a while. 844-542, I wanted to tell you, people were talking about the Mass Republican State Committee, Amy Carnavalli just put out a press release mentioning the fact that Spinelli's in East Boston, the catering ravioli place, got a $10 million no bid contract to provide grub for the illegal aliens, $10 million no bid. Some of the managers of Spinelli's gave money to Mara Healy. Jenny Gujio, G-I-U-G-G-I-O gave on March 27th gave a grand to Mara Healy. She's the general manager. On December 20th, before Christmas, they already had the $10 million contract. This woman, Jenny Gujio, gave another $1,000 to Mara Healy. And then one of the managers, that same day, 5 days before Christmas, one of the other managers of Spinelli's Rita Roberto, I don't know if she's any relation to Fat Vinnie Roberto, well-known figure in East Boston. Rita Roberto gave $1,000 to Mara Healy on the same day that her boss, Jenny Gujio, gave $1,000. And let's see, Rita Roberto gave $250 to Kim Driscoll. The same day she gave, this was last April gave a $250 to Mara Healy. Who else did they give money to? Oh, Jenny Gujio, right before the election, gave another $1,000. So she's given to Mara Healy. So she's given $3,000 to Mara Healy, all told. And then she got it, her company got a $10 million contract. Isn't that something? Frank, you're next with Howie Carr, go ahead, Frank. Yeah, hi, Howie. I was wondering if back in the day, you worked with Louise Morgan and Jack Chase and Big Brother Bob Emery. Oh, man, those guys were before my time. How old do you think I am, Frank? About 80 or so. You're giving me the needle here, Big Bob Emery. No, I was there right at the very end. I tell you what, I used to fill in occasionally for Eddie Andelman, when Eddie Andelman was the nighttime guy. And that was, I think that was my first gig ever on talk radio. I felt during the World Series and I think 1986, I filled in for him once. And who else was there that I, there were a bunch of different people, but none of the people, none of the, none of the, the Golden Age people, I was there right at the very end of HDH. Thanks for the call, Frank. Dan, you're next with Howie Carr. Go ahead, Dan. Hey, Howie, thanks for helping me survive another week intact. You know, I was out on the East End of Long Island. I felt that earthquake, too, you know, and, and when I heard it was in Jersey, I couldn't help but think, yeah, that's where Chris Christie is now. You know, we haven't heard of it. Everybody thought the same thing, Dan, didn't they? I've gotten about a million jokes on the text line today about it. I couldn't help it. I couldn't. Listen, and Howie, you know, I want to, I want to, that, there was a caller a few callers ago who said, you know, there's no point in voting. And I wanted to disagree with that. And I think this time, too, I think this time, especially I wanted to disagree with it. I think there's a lot of segments of the, of the population now that are going to vote Republican, no matter what. I think, I think Jewish Americans are getting armed up and getting ready to vote Republican. Yeah, blacks, Hispanics, young people. You see that Democratic pollster who said they got to stop registering young people because they just registered Trump voters. I hope he's right. I hope he's right. Have a good weekend, everybody. I'm Howie Trump. [MUSIC PLAYING]
