• 0:20
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Oh? I'm Mark.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Every day. This guy has a different name, a different something.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Walter in Forest Hills. Walter, how you doing?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Hi, Good morning, Mark, how are you good. I wanted
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: to make a comment on the snow cleanup. You know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I was talking to some of the sanitation guys hanging
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: out at the coffee shop and they mentioned, you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the city this year directed them that they never had
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: to do this before, but they had to clean and
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: make a priority clean every bike lean in the city.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: It had to be perfectly clear. So you know, the
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: city you got to remember over the pestcup years, they
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: put these bike lanes down Queens Boulevard the entire length
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: all over green Point Williamsburg. These little side street you
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: got bike lanes, and the bike lanes are protected, so
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: you know, you got these stanchions put up concrete barriers.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: So the city bought these like little snowplow machines for
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: the sanitation guys to use. It's like a quarter of
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the size of a street sweeper. Yeah, they really didn't
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: work out too well. One of them overturned on the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: FDR drive. You know. It was just they're not made
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: for that. It's made for like a mall parking lot,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: they said. So they said, you know, just to push
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: that amount of snow with that machine, they had to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: bring in, you know, really manual labor. Have you doune
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: your pa.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Well, there's some truth to that, but you know, they
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: have not cleared the city bike installations. In fact, there's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: three thousand city bike installations. Only five hundred of them
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: are working right now because twenty five hundred of them
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: are buried in snow. So they haven't helped the bike population.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: They've for whatever reason, left those specs in bank. A
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: city bike is furious about that, losing the fortune. How
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: are the streets and forest hills?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: They're good, you know, the main streets that the thing
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: is on the side streets you have just you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: because people clearing out the driveways. When they clear out
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the driveways, these big mountains of snow in the string,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: huge mountains it's just going to stay there until it mounts,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And all right.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Well fortunately we have a driveway.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: All right, Well thanks for calling Walter. Yeah, you got
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: another other problem is Friday night into Saturday morning, you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: could have one inch of snow. It's not going to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: be much, but it could be some snow Friday night
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: into Saturday morning, up to about one inch. If you're way,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: way way out in Long Island, you could get over
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: an inch. But the other problem is sad Friday night
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Saturday is going to be extremely cold, worse than what
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you've been through in the last seventeen days. Friday night,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Saturday Saturday night may be the single coldest day and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: night of the entire winter. But then next week it
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: goes back into the thirties. That should get back to normal.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Paul in Boston. Paul, how you doing?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Bye? Mock, mock, Why don't you have He's trying to say,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is how.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Break? We can't take your call anymore? No more Paul
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: from Boston ever ever Again, that's the same call from yesterday.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: He's talking about some listener nobody ever heard of. So uh,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: no more Paul from Boston. You're done Paul. You can call,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: but won't We won't put you on the air anymore. Yeah. So, yeah,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it's not even a Paul from Boston. They just changed
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: their voice. The problem is, if you want to do
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, you got to get rid of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the accent. You know, when you got that accent, everybody
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: can recognize your voice instantly. You can't fool anybody. That's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the problem. Hey, the super Bowl is Sunday, so you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: might want to bear that in mind. If you're going
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to a super Bowl party that kind of stuff, you're
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: going to overeat like crazy. You might want to plan
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: ahead the very little eating on Saturday. Eat real light
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday. Get ready for that. Hey, the Milania movie,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the Milania documentary, it's out there. It's in theaters. You
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: can go see it. You know, it's the number two
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: film in America right now. I know if you read
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: all the left wing fake news media. Though it's not
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: doing well, it's a blow what day it's about not
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: reaching the It's the number two film in America right now.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: If you take the list of the top grossing films,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it's number two for the week. Number two. That's that's huge,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: huge for a documentary. It's made over ten million dollars already.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: The only problem with it they there's a theater in Oregon.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: You know, Oregon's like a left wing kook kind of
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a place. So you know it's Amazon. Amazon's behind the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Milania movie. So it was playing in a big theater,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and apparently the local employees at the theater, remember the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: they all left wing kooks out there, put terrible things
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on the marquee. It had the title to the film,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but then they put these insulting things about Milania on
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the marquee next to the title. So Amazon has pulled
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the film out of that theater. Now I think that's it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I'll just pull the film and leave the theater alone.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: But when you're a movie theater, you need to do
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: business with Amazon with a lot of films. So it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a big mistake. You've seen this happen. We're local employees
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: go nuts. Remember that Hilton in Minnesota where they refuse
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: to allow Ice agents to stay there, even though they
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: had a reservation. They turned them away. Hilton fired the hotel,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they took their name off it. They you know, when
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you become build a nice hotel, you make a deal
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: with Hilton to put the name all over it, promote it,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: run it, call it to Hilton. So Hilton walked away
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: from this local hotel. So now these guys have a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: blank hotel with no name, no help from Hilton, no
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: use of Hilton's reservation service or anything. So it's a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: mess for them. Hey, when we come back the hunt
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: for Steve Moore, we hope we'll be talking to him next.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Steve Moore coming up, the great economist, lots to talk
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to him about, and we'll do that in just a second.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: On seven to ten, wor
