Now on 710 WOR.

Filling in for Mr. New York, Mark Simone.

Here is Joe Concha.

Hey, good morning, everybody.

Joe Concha filling in for Mr. New York on a gorgeous Friday morning here in New York.

I mean, we have had probably the worst stretch of weather,

Joe Bartlett. I would say in the past 10 weeks, we went from power outages, snow, sleet,

hail, locust, you name it. And now, finally, we have the 85-degree, sunny, perfect start to

the Memorial Day weekend. But unfortunately, I think that's

going to be going by the way side. Yeah, that's too good to last. By the way, Joe, what's

happening to our name? In other words, I'm married to a Gene, okay? Oh, so am I. Are you really?

Yeah. That's, that's freaky. It is. All right, so we got Joe and Gene, right? And my kids are four and two. And by

way, just give a little background on who I am, because I'm on D-list, E-list at best, so I don't

assume that anybody should know who I am. My name is Joe Concha. I am a media reporter and

columnist for The Hill, also on Fox News a lot, do the Fox business, and join Mark's show on a very regular basis, which is a very cool thing.

And then finally, Mark, who apparently never takes a vacation, finally takes a vacation.

And here I am sitting in for this highly rated, popular, affable, tremendously talented host.

And I was telling you, Joe, like before the break, that it's kind of like, you know, when you're watching Michael Jordan when you're growing up, and then you're playing against Michael Jordan, if you're a player, and you're like, wait, I've been watching this guy this whole time. I've been listening to Mark Simone forever, so this is really an odd thing.

But I'll tell you, and it's actually an honor, I should say, instead of odd.

But Joe's and Jeans are gone.

Marys are gone. Allens are gone.

Sandy is gone, because I think the hurricane, basically, you can't name your kid Sandy anymore.
