It's more of Mark.

Mark Simone on 710 W.O.R.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, the man who should be the mayor of New York right now, Curtis Leewell, of course, also one of the great radio hosts of the last few decades, had the number one morning show for many, many, many, many years.

And he'll be filling in for me.

I'll be off the last two weeks

of the year next week and the week after. Curtis will be filling in 10 to noon every weekday. And he's

with us now. Curtis Slewa, how you doing? Now great, now that you've given me an opportunity to let

my voice be heard on my favorite radio station, W-O-O-R.

Nope, it doesn't get any better than this, Mark,

because obviously you lead and everybody else follows.

So I know you've got a huge following,

because it's all during the campaign,

people would stop me wherever I was going and says,

well, Mark March talking about

you now. I didn't get that from any other radio station or any other talk program.

Hey, now that it's all over, let me ask you about this campaign. First of all, now, obviously

you could win. You could out-talk everybody in the race. You got a much longer career resume than

Mamdani. But they started this mantra. He can't win. Curtis can't win. Curtis can't win. They just

drilled this into people. I heard people start repeating it like it's true. It was ridiculous.

How did that ever get started?

But actually got started right after Andrew Cuomo tossed in the towel because he got so badly beaten in the primary that if you remember, Mark, when he entered the race on March 1st, he was at 40% in the Democratic polls.

Zohan Mandami was last at 1%.
