• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now the guardian Angel of top radio is here.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Curtis Leewa guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: to ten.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Woo oh yeah.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: My responsibility as being on Mark Simone's turf, the best
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: talk radio host in our region bar none. And I'm
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: sure Greg Kelly was listening over there at WABC doing
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: his show prep as he always did by listening to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone. Hey, why not? He had good stuff and
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: always says good stuff. He'll be back on the fifth
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: on Monday, but I'll be back on Friday. And the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: kind of talk radio I do is different than most
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: because I believe that we have this opportunity to speak
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to all of you now because of the technology, not
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: just throughout the Try State area, throughout the United States,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: but all over the world because any radio station can
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: be picked up virtually anywhere. And I've heard from a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: lot of people listening to me on WOOR my place
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to be seven to ten. Never again at WABC, which
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the acronym stands for always blaming Curtis for Zaramandami being
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the mayor and always bashing Curtis even to this day.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: You think they would give it up, right, Ain't coming
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: back there? Never I'd rather live in a homeless shelter.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I'd rather be stuck on the number four train and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: going round than round.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: They're rout, is he?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Do you think people understand that? And this is a
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: much better station in a lot of different ways. But
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: this thing of ours, talk radio, it requires that you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: pay homage to it. Now, Mark Simone does because nobody
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: knows more about radio and television then March some mom.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: And he talks about it regularly.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I listened to his show, and as you know now
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: you have the benefit doesn't have to be appointment radio.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: You can always get it on the podcast. But I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: want to touch on a few things before I do
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: my homage in these last two days, for the reason
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that many of us have the opportunity to speak to
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: all of you, whether in live form or if you
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: wanted to listen to three four days, a month later,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: a year later on these podcasts. First off from Nancy
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and yours. Truly, we have a special message. New Year's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: message will be posting to all of you, the many
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands who have now become followers all over
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the world on all the platforms. So whether it's TikTok
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that most of you know nothing about, Oh you gotta
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: be on TikTok, and he trust me, he didn't get
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: elected because he was on TikTok.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Two years ago.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: President Donald Trump is saying this is a red Chinese
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: threat to take over America, and then all of a
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: sudden he discovered, hey, maybe I can get a few
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: votes with this, and then all of a sudden, yeah,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: we love TikTok. TikTok does not get you elected to anything.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: So whether it's TikTok, Instagram or Facebook, where you're putting
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: on there what you had for beakfast this morning at
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the local diner. Do I need to see you having
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: eggs and pancakes, you know with toast? Yeah? Yeah, you
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: post what you had for lunch and then a mydaam,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: your life must be so miserable?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Is that all you compose?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And of course Ellen musk X, Twitter so many different
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: ways to get you a message out. But our message
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to everybody listening right now and they'll be posted later
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: on at Kurtisley, which have a you can get that
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: social network.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: All Nancy and I want for this New Year's is
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: for all stray and shelter animals to have a loving home.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: And I know for some of you we're like, oh,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: here it goes with the animal welfare stuff. Yeah, and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: again as we welcome in a new year, it doesn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: get any better than Mahatma Gandhi again a victim of
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: an assassination because of his beliefs, but a man who's said,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: is society that does not take care of its animals
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: does not take care of its people. And on my
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: way here to Wor seven ten to do this broadcast
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to all of you, I had to pass the homeless
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: people and emotionally disturbed persons in the subway because the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: hawk is talking out there it's cold, and talk with them,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: not many of them that I know.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: And see all the flots and jets.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: As I came up top to the street, I was
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: picking up the garbage. It was flying all over and
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: people are looking at me. You pick up garbage too,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and so what is it? That's where I was raised
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: by my grandfather, Fidela Biangino from Body, Italy, on my
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: mother's side, Trancesca side. He said, one young which means
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: young man, young boy.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: You see garbage?
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like you heard Eric Adams say, we're gonna talk
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: about him a second, A Mama, luke.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: But anyway, you.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: See something, you see something.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Long before they ever quantified that statement, my grandfather would
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: tell me, Hey, you see garbage, you pick it up.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: If you can't find a can and put it in,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you put it in your pocket until you can find
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: a can. That's where I was brought up, and many
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of you listening now were brought up. And it used
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to be the sanitation department. After they pick up the garbage,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: it had brooms on the truck. Remember when they would
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: have broom wear the brooms. Now, huh, they pick up
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the garbage and that's it, not my job. Then we
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: have these business improvement districts. They hire mostly mental women
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: who have been down on their luck, and they go
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: out there and they change the trash can bags and
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: they do a little sweeping and that's all good.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: We never needed that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Years ago, everybody picked up the garbage.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: So people were looking at.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Me this morning on my way here to w oh,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: like I believe, like I belong in the Museum of
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Natural History, Like here is a species from a different
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: era that actually believes if you see something garbage on
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: the ground, you pick it up.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: The problem is.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: That the police commissioner Jessicatsh who you all fall and over.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Once she was sanitation commissioner, she took half the baskets
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: off the streets. Well, if there are less baskets, there'll
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: be less garbage.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Ough past the great poupon Jesscatage.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe jeans or a limital driver on Park Avenue can
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: get you to one police plaza. That was a disastrous program.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Some of the folks in the MTA money taking agency,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you know, they were having the press conference. Ye, it's
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the end of the metro card and now all of
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a sudden you're gonna have to tap and go the
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: omni card, debit card, credit card. There will be nothing
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: left the beginning of the year on your debut of
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: credit card.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: So good luck. And I'm saying to myself, are these
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: people delusional?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: One third of the people don't even pay their subway
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: fair to begin with, and that's gonna increase with Zora
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: on Mondamique. One half don't even pay the city bus fare.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: They don't do a tap in go, they don't have
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: a metro card, and if you say anything to them,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: they give you the finger.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: They're defiant. So they're all mourning the loss of the
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Metro card. What are you talking about?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Half the people didn't even use a Metro card to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: get in on a bus, one third on the subway. Oh,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: because of the crime that never gets dealt with.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: It's called fair evasion. That's a crime. Let's face it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Let's not make any arrests.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Let's not make people pay the fair even though they
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: are all kinds of programs. If you're down on your luck,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: half fair, one third fare, but you gotta go out
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and get that right.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: We're not gonna bring it to eat. So that's my
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: first observation.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, I'm on the subway
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: platform and I'm trying to give tourist directions because naturally
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the token booth clerks who do nothing. Now it's like
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a feather bettered job. They should be out of the
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: booth giving instructions to people at the machines to be
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: able to pay their fare because he's getting scammed by
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: every hustler in the world. But they should also be
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: telling people how to get around town. So I'm helping
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: tourists and many of them already know me. Hey, Curtis,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get down to where else? The World
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Trade Center, that's where they want to go. See the battery,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: want to see the Statue of Liberty, all the places that.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: We folks, we don't go because we know that's where
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: all the tourists go.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Like, if any of you are schmucks or puttses and
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you're gonna go down to Times Square to watch the
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: ball drop, did you not hear Jessica Tish say, Oh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be double screenings. They took all the garbage
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: cans away. There's no porter sands, there's none of that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: They can cattle cars. And you're gonna start moving at
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: three o'clock. That's why they're gonna start letting you in.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: And once you're in, you don't get out. You get out,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: you don't come back. So imagine you've already been drinking
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: a few. It's three o'clock. The ball doesn't drop until
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: until all of a sudden the new year comes in. Right, say,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: let me, I'm not too good at nine hours?
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Right, nine hours?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: You think you could hold it in nine hours? Have
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: you been drinking a few, hoisting a few? That's why
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: on my way over here, I stopped at a few.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Dwayne Reid's and CVS's wiped out of depends wiped out
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: because people live their whole life to come to watch
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the ball drop on Times Square, and they come from Monta,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Mexico City, and they come from Kye Town, South Africa.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: They come from everywhere because they want that experience. But
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: if you happen to be living in this Tri state
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: area and you're stupid enough to show up because you
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: want to be able to talk about it, don't waste
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: your time. But make sure you have depends on. Yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: because remember, we come into this world with diapers at
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: some point, and most of us when we go out
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: of this world, we'll be wearing diapers.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: So get ready. And here's Jessicati saying, yeah, there'll be
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: two screenings.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, Jessica, you'll keep talking and then of course, uh,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: there's a boss. But thank god, just the final day
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: that Mama Luke, what a cry baby. Eric Adams the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: most corrupt mayor in the history of New York City,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and that is saying a lot. The swaggerman with no
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: plan and the nightlife mayor. All he ever did was
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: hang out in clubs till they break of dawn. And
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: a man who just waited to be wind eying the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: pocket lined and if my sources are correct, decided to
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: drop out a running for mayor when the price was right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Uh you remember that show the price was right? I
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: think he settled on twenty mil I think time will tell.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Because then he was like, well, should I go to
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: the inauguration at city? Should I ain't not go? I
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: wouldn't have made ask me to go and tell your
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: peeps's or an Easterns, don't yell at me, don't shout at.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: What a mama, luke what a baby?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: And so I guess the mayor had a conversation with him,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: the incoming mayor, Yeah, yeah, you should be there.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm gonna be.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: There, Like wow, wow, Eric Adams, He's the reason this
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: is so. Had Mandami, had he done anywhere of a
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: decent job, halfway job, he would have been the Democratic
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: incumbent mayor running for reelection. I would have been the
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Republican candidate. And hey, it would have been tough. It's
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: tough for a Republican to begin with. He failed, and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: then they resurrected that political some beat Cuomo.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: By the way, has anybody seeing Cuomo?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Will he be at the inauguration, of course, not is
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: he anywhere other than hanging out with his billionaire friends
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: as he's slithered under his rock in the Hampton's where
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: he loves to be. Maybe he can launch it after
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the run for mayor of Southampton. So here was Eric Adams.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: You were talking.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna write a book. I got the title. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: didn't do nothing wrong. He's gonna get involved in cryptocurrency,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: which is bitcoin, crime coin, and he wants to teach
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: a new generation of how to become criminals, because that's
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: what blockchain cryptocurrency is. It's a scam. We'll talk about
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: that on Friday, my last day here. We're gonna talk
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: about AI. Oh my god, what a headache. And also
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: robotics because the masters of the universe are all telling
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: you to worry about it. We're gonna take your jobs,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: but we're gonna give you a universal high income of
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. You're
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: not gonna have to do nothing. You just sit at home,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: scratch your belly button. We're going to take care of you.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: You trust any of them, We'll get into all of that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: These are subjects many of which don't get discussed and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: talk radio. And then of course there is Eric Adams
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: on his way out, who has decided that, hey, you know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: there are things I'm going to do to try to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: make amends. He said, signing an executive order today. I
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: always had breaking news, right, Hey, this is Mark Simon's turf.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: It's not my turf. I had breaking news.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: He's using an executive order in the waning moments.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Of his.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Horrible mayoralty to have charter revision. Now what that is,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. He's going to assign people to actually
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: put on the ballot this coming year, the gubernatory year,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the midterm elections on the back of your ballot.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Things that you as citizens can vote on.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I think the chairman is I gotta check my sources
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: on this, but got it on pretty good authority. My
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: husband and lawd David Pattison, the former governor, a man
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: who needs adderall. In this last mayoral election. First he
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: was Ferrick Adams and he was for co and he
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: was for Eric Adams and he was for Como. He
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: gave me vertigo and I said, do me a favor,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: don't endorse me. It's the kiss her death, and it
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: was so give him some adderall he'll be on the
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: charity commission. I guess the Mayor's going to have some others.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: And there should be the question of sanctuary city up there,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: which I talked about during the campaign.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Let the people vote.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Let the people, boy, A lot of people will come
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: out to vote in an election on that issue, whether
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: you're for it or against it. You can have town
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: hall meetings, you can have spirited debate. You will have
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of people coming out to vote in nothing
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: more because of that issue.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Let's see what.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Eric Adams is going to do. And how about putting
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: on the initiative and referendum for twenty twenty six, once and.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: For all, voting on the horse joint carriage issue. Let
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: the people decide.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: And on that note, it's gonna lead us into a
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: homage coming up to the man who was considered the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: father of talk radio, and he started right here on WOR.
