now the guardian angel of top radio is here curtis leewa guest host the mark simone show on 710 w o'clock oh the hawk is talking outside it's cold and uh one has to wonder what it's going to be like

when the ball drops in times square all the tourists in town you know nobody from our

area is going into time square when the ball drops. You have to wear the pens.

They put you in cattle pens.

You stand there for hours while drunk people are blowing these horns in your ear just so you can go back to your country of origin and tell them you were there when the ball dropped in
