• 2:32
  Speaker 4: that the soccer is going to be over a week
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: from Sunday. I can't wait. And the other was that
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: you succinctly called these guys communists. Yeah, I already hear
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the usual pundits and experts on the conservative Republican side
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: fun thing all over the place. Well, they're not really communists.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: It's socialism.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But it's like people are clear socialism communists. It's exactly
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the same thing. The only difference is, of course socialism
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is usually voted in. Communists usually take it by revolution.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: But so you hey, yes, yeah, you're in Florida then,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and then make it as much fuss about soccer down
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: there in Florida.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: H This place I go to every day for lunch,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: and it's their promo that they this promotion where it's soccer.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And the games are on.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Usually there's just the TVs are on and his music
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: playing the games. The music goes off this the volume,
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the audio comes on for the games, the four people
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: who can't speak English on the panel explaining what soccer is.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: And then groups of people come into the place, go
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: crazy for ninety minutes and then leave without paying, sometimes
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and without so Unfortunately the place I go to, it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: very it's concentrated on this idiotic games.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: All right, So we got a week from Sunday, soccer
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: will be over. We'll be done with it, Mike, great call,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Thanks for colling. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara. Mark. You're a spot
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: on when you talk about these commercial building conversions to
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: residential buildings. I know because I've converted commercial real estate
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: into residential real estate. And the big problem, as you
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: pointed out, is running the waist line. Because, as you
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: point it out and your an iHeart, you have one
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: bedroom down the floor, you have one waist line going up,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: one waist line going down. You have to have wasste
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: lines for the kitchen for the bedroom, and they have
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: to crisscross all over the place throughout the building. Then
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: in the cellar you're going to probably have to change
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the main waste lines that come out of the building,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: then the ones that go underneath the sidewalk into the
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: city street, because they have an estimated volume per hour
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: that they could handle. That's why, for example, when it
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: rains really heavy, which I hope it doesn't do today
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: in the residential neighborhoods of New York City, after one
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: and a half inches an hour, it starts to back up,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: and then you start to have water. These problems now
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: and in these residents, these big office buildings that they convert,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: those waistlines have double the size that let's say you
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: have in a brownstone or in a small small tenement house.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And my attitude is, unless I see it going up,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I want nothing to do with it. And just for
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the record, Steve Closo, talk about Manhattan real estate. Don't
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: talk about Brooklyn real estate, because you're out of your league. Pale.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Although those going up the real estate colums for the or.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but for for Manhattan and for a certain area.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: For most of what he says, Mark doesn't even fly
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: over here.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Don't worry he's fact checked.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: No, he hasn't. Because all of the dirt avenue apartments
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: that's built on all toxic soil over there that's all
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: a condemned site.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: We got to go for the news, but great call.
• 5:56
