• 0:43
  Speaker 2: rest on a fresh store of today.

  Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, go ahead.

  Speaker 2: Anyway. I had an idea with the epidemic two or
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: three years ago to get produce any goods that's grown
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: on the North Fork and the South Fork, put it
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: on pallets and put it on train the last car,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: get it into Penn Station, and you could also feed
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the restaurants there or somehow disperse it where you don't
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: need these big trucks and diesel guzzlers and everything else
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you get.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you, we already do this.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Many of our restaurants and stores are getting produced from
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the North Shore in the South Shore. They're already doing that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: But even if it's a small truck, you got to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: park it somewhere.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: No, no, you put it on a last car of
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: the Long Island Railroad.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but then you have to get it from Penn
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Station to the store.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: No. No, the restaurants at Penn Station.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: There's no restaurants at Penn Station.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Well, what's the other one? Grand Central Station? Yea, they
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: have restaurants, right.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Not really, they got two up on the mezzanine, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: then they underneath they got the clim But no, no, no,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: they can't. It doesn't work that way. No, no, it
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: has to go through the loading docks service entrance.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Grand Central. Actually you can eat very well there.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: There's a steakhouse. There's a brassirat Grand Brassray. There's a Chipriani.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: There's a by the way in Grand Central, they got
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a like a supermarket there. That's phenomenal, phenomenal, that food hall.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: It's like the best of everything. Murray's Cheese and eat
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: from the Upper Easts set like really good. If you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: want to just do your grocery shopping Grand Central, it's phenomenal.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: And there's the oyster bar down below. Now, if you
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: go to Penn Station, there is nothing to eat. It's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like prison food the whole place. There's that one pizza
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: place that's not bad. What's the pizza place down there?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It's okay, it's not it's not bad, but it's not great.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: There's nothing to eat at Penn Station. Let's go to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Danny in Long Island. Danny, how you doing doing good?
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Walk?
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: I remember it was a place of Penn that sold
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: the Giants slice of pizza. It wasn't a great pizza,
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: but the size of it alone was breath taking. But listen,
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: the more I listened to is Mandani. How much he's
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: in over his head. You know, it's gonna cost thirty
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: million dollars to build a supermarket. You have to pay
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: rent to the place where it is now, but.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Actually there's no rent. It's free space. They own the space.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, it's a logistical nightmare. You talk about how
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: many people you have to employ just to run a supermarket.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Manages deli, people stocking the shelves of it. It's a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: twenty four to seven operation. You'd be better off seen
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: that people qualify and give him a fifty dollars gift card.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And yeah, no, that's a good idea. Yeah. First of all,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because you'll never live to see the supermarket.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It's never going to open. It will never happen. You know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: this is how these guys are so crazy, these socialist, communist,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: left wing kook politicians. They take office, they show here's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to all the stuff. Okay, thirty million to build one supermarket,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and he announces it thirty million supermarket. Now, every real
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: expert from the real world has told him it's one
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: million to open a supermarket, maybe two million at the most.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: John Katzimittititi's met with him the other day, told him,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know, it's about two million at the most. Really,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: one million to open a supermarket. If you were a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: normal person, you'd run out of the room screaming at
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: your people, what the hell did you tell me thirty
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: million for? Why would you tell me?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I know it's only one but they don't say a word.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: They go ahead with their thirty million why it's contracts.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: You can hand out lots of contracts to hand out.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Robert and Manhattan. Robert, how you doing.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Mark the discussion. Every truck that enters my Heart on
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: through Lincoln trailer, it's a all about one hundred and
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: thirty five dollars.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Very good point. I forgot about that. Not only when
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: your truck comes to Manhattan, not only will you get
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty dollars parking ticket, you'll pay one
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to come through the tunnel. You're right,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it's an extra three hundred just to get to Manhattan.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Very good point. Yeah, that's you want to bring down
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the prices. All you got to do. No more parking
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: tickets on those trucks, and trucks can come through the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: tunnels and bridges for free. You know. The real good
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: idea was everybody always said, w don't you just have
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: all these trucks do they're delivering between midnight and six,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: when there's no traffic and you can park anywhere. Well,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that would make a lot of sense. But then every building,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: every office building, every apartment, everybody'd have to have their
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: service entrance manned and operated twenty four hours a day.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It's too expensive, so they don't want to do it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Bob in Montvale, New Jersey. Bob, how
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you doing.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I'm doing good, Mark, thanks for taking a call. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: you know I did hear mister Captain Matide's talk about
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: you know, those stores. But last Wednesday on his own show,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: he said he met with the mayor and agreed to
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: help him. So I know what you said, but there's
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: nothing we can do about those contracts. They're always going
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: to be there.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: But no, that's the other way government operates here. John
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: is the world expert in New York City on how
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to operate a supermarket. He has more supermarkets in New
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: York for forty years. He said to the mayor, I'd
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: be happy to help you. If that were any normal person,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: they would call him every day with seventeen different questions.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: You'd keep consulting him. But it's government. Yeah, we don't
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: need him. Well, we can do this ourselves. We'll figure
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: it out. It's fascinating to watch. It's like these amateurs
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: that do these podcasts. I'll go to every professional radio person.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: If I had my podcast, you got to listen to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: my podcast, and it never cursed them. Ask a question,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: ask him for some advice, ask him how to do
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: They never ask. They they just think they're the same
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: thing with politicians. Well, hey, when we come back and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Coulter will be with us next, lots to talk to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: her about in just a few minutes on seven to
