• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to Tom in Pennsylvania. Tom. How you doing?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, I love the three hours. Listen to me.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Around forty years ago, I was in Central Park and
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Tavn on the green h huh, and the horse and
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: buggies that were going through there. You had punks setting
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: off bottle rockets and fireworks at the horses and the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: people and the buggies. And the guy who's driving the
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: damn horse and buggy he was tearing through there. That
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: must have been a ride through hell. I don't understand
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: anybody doing that. I'm not sure if it's like that today.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: No, it's nice now. You know, people don't realize we
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: got a little crime here and they're not much. But
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: people don't realize their crime was far worse than the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighties, much worse back.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Then it was, and that's probably one of the reason.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And what were you doing in tavern On the Green?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You went in there to use the restroom? Is that it?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I had Well.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I actually spent some money.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Good for you, and you know I'm not rich, but
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I had to do it for a wife, and you know,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you know how that works.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Well, tavern On the Green was so beautiful, But weren't
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you surprised to how mediocre the food was?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: That is absolutely correct. It was way overrated, way overrated.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was beautiful. Thanks for calling Tom. You
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: got to remember, uh, tavern On the Green was quite
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the tourist destination. And if you're a tourist destination, the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: food doesn't have to be so great. Nobody's coming back.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: The tourists. They come once every few years. And if
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you're trying to be a local, neighborhood restaurant, better be good,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: otherwise nobody's coming back. Let's go to Dan and Queen's Dan.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: How you doing good?
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Mark? I was on the Lexington and thirty third Street
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: stopped yesterday. I'm always on the Subway's eighty two year
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: old guy. Those subway steps keep me alive. But I
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: noticed they put up new gates. They're plastic. They open
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: up like a door. Yeah, pretty much from the top
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: to the bottom, and possible to jump over. I couldn't resist.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: They asked the clerks, the subway token clerks, if they're working.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: They laughed, and they said, where there's a will, there's
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: a way.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people still get over them. You know, this turnstile jumping,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you can stop it in about two weeks, just to
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: arrest them all and then that's the end of it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: You know, they proved that the NYPD back when Rudy
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: came in. They just started arresting them all. Just prosecute me. Well,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: it gets around real fast that you're going to get arrested,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and they stop doing it. It's that simple. You know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: you can build gates, you can build walls. You just
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: put some cops down there and start arresting them. Let's
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: go to Pete and Queen's Pete.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: How you doing, Mark, good morning? A couple of points
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: about them mayor the Staten Island thing where he was
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: being booed and everything. Yeah, he did that deliberately, in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: my opinion, Mark, to mock, to mock them, you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: just basically show them on here and I'm gonna get
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: in your face and I'm gonna actually laugh in it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, except thirty seconds into it he went running
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: off the stage. So they did chase him away.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: True, but I mean that thirty seconds I'm sure went
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: a long way with his crowd. But the nine to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: eleven thing, in my opinion, he knows exactly what he's doing.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: He's trying to establish control and dominance, and he will
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: show up and even if it is for a few minutes,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that's what he's gonna probably hope to achieve, and unfortunately
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: he just may achieve it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: All right, you may be right, Thanks for calling you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: He went to appear in statn Islant, this police event.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: They boot him off the stage. Listen my day, they
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: boot him off the stage. He had to flee. He
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: left the Staten Island. Good for you. You're not gonna get
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: speed cameras on every corner. As a results, you're going
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to get red light cameras everywhere, and he's going to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: increase tolls everywhere. You're gonna get congestion pricing. He'll get back. No,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'll be able to do that, but
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: but good for you booing them off the stage. Hey,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the new job numbers came out. They were a lot
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: lower than expected. What the hell's happening. We'll talk to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the smartest guy on the subject, John Carney. Brilliant guy
• 7:15
