now the guardian angel of talk 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 and nobody from our area is going

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