To hear him any time? Now? Back to Mark Simone
on wor Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to
Walter in Forest Hills. Walter, how you doing.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Hi? Good morning, Mark, first time caller here.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Well, good we I like new callers, first time callers.
You sound like a great guy, Walter.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Thank you. I didn't want to comment about the casinos.
It seems like, you know, the Casino Commission, they just
sort of rubber stamped the three remaining proposals. And the
issue really, it seems like with the proposal with the
three is they're all so close to each other. You know,
you could get in your car and just try fifteen
minutes one to the other.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Well wait a minute, you try to get from one
of those the other in the middle of the day. No,
they try to go down in Austin Street and Forest
Hills in fifteen minutes, You can't.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
There's going to be a mess of gridlock everywhere you
gotta go, Throgs and neck Bridge. Do you ever try
to get across that in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'll give you that at most a half hour. But
I wonder if one of them will pull out because
they don't see it as a financially piece.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
No no, no, no, no, no, no. Billions have already been
spent on lobbying fees. Money. They're not pulling out. Hey,
But the one in a city field. What a city
field that's flushing right?
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, so that's going to be a that's going to
cause a traffic nightmare, there isn't it. I mean that's
a pretty crowded.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah. And you know, I go to the occasional Met
game and that's the one thing I'm going to mess
is that outdoor parking lot because that's where the casino
is going to be built. And when you go to
a Met game, it's actually pretty great compared to Yankee
Stadium because in and out you park outside in an
open lot. Yeah, it's easy to leave the game, no hassle.
(01:56):
Now they're going to put in these big parking garages,
it'll take you a half hour an hour to leave
a game, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
So that's a good point. Very good, Hey, Walter, you
did good. You did very well for your first call.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Thank you, excellent.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Take care now he's absolutely right. One of the great
attractions of the City Field a big open parking lot.
You drive into the parking lot, park your car, get
out and walk over to the stadium. That's perfect Yankee Stadium.
You gotta go in a garage. You gotta first of
all the prompt these garages, it's like shopping malls. If
you go to Long Island, the great shopping centers, Americana,
(02:31):
Walt Whitman, big parking lots. You gotta drive in, you
get out of your car, you'll walk right into the store.
Perfect Westchester Mall, that's so known. Mall in Norwalk. Pain
in the neck. You got to pull into a garage.
You gotta pay the part. And that's it's not even
just the money, it's trying to get out of there.
You know. If it's an open parking lot, you jump
(02:53):
in your car and you take off. If it's in
the mall, in the indoor garage, you gotta wait in
line to get out. Got a long line. Everybody's got
to try to stick the ticket in that slot. And
it's a pain in the neck. So City Field, you
are going to lose a few people because of that.
No longer outdoor parking. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
(03:13):
how you doing good.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Morning, Mark. I'm doing very well. Thank you Mark. My
entry includes First Lady Milania Trump and President Trumps himself.
I read an article yesterday in a Variety that says
that she's launched a production company called News Films, and
it says the Secret Service used us as her code
(03:36):
name during the first term. I'm not sure. I know
there's a documentary connected with that. I'm not sure if
this is something similar to where the Obamas were using Netflix.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, the Obamas have been much more classic. They've been
cashing in like like like crazy. You're reading Variety. What
are you, Georgie Jessel. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
how you doing good?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Mark? I'm okay.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Mark.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
What the Coast Guard and the Navy blowing up these
drug boats? You could actually go on YouTube and about
a week after the Navy blows up, blows up one
of the drug boats or is like that, You could
go on YouTube. The Navy actually publishes And recently I
(04:25):
was watching them take out one of these drug boats
and the first thing and I noticed, because I've been
stopped on yachts at seeing everything. The first thing, all
these drug boats don't have navigation lights. The boats don't
have registration on the front, on the bow of the
boat on east side. You have to have your registration numbers.
(04:48):
I've been on yachts where on boats where the coast
guard will call you off on Channel sixteen that's the
universal hailing channel. They'll say, we're gonna come when we
want to board your boat, have your light, have your
registration and everything. And I've been on boats where they'll
pull up to you, they'll tie up and one of
(05:09):
the members will get on board, and you got to
show them your registration for the boat and everything, and
you gotta they'll look over to see that you have
your registration, your navelites. Everything jives. Now if you go
on YouTube and you watch them taking out these boats,
all of these boats are not registered. Right there? Said no, no,
(05:32):
it's no no right there. Here's another thing. Mark Jessica Tish,
based on the argument she had with Ice over the weekend,
she should not take this job. Please follow Rob Tucker's lead.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, well, we'll get the Jessicatis.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Vincent kids already see it.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I still can't picture you in a yachting cap like
a thirst and hell the third.
Speaker 3 (05:53):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
