Mr. New York, Mark Simone.

0:03.0

On 710, W.O.R.

0:05.6

Well, Jimmy Fela, the great comedian talk show host, you know, he's got a big hit show now on WOR every night at 9 o'clock.

0:13.7

9 to midnight.

0:14.6

You've got to listen to Jimmy Fala tonight and every weeknight.

0:17.5

And then on Fox, he does the best late night show, Saturday nights at 10 o'clock.

0:23.1

And it's great to have him back with us. Jimmy Fela, how you doing?

0:27.1

I'm doing, man. What do we got? Four days and counting till Mom Donnie, five days. Is that what

0:32.5

they're telling me? Yeah. This is all the fault of the big donors. They're trying to chase Curtis out, and they tell us our choices between the worst guy in the whole world and a really bad guy, Cuomo. What kind of choice is that?

0:48.3

Amen. You know, I have Curtis on Fox News Saturday night this weekend. I'm trying to give him one more push because, again,

0:54.9

the idea that the Republican Party went from fight, fight, fight, to surrender, surrender,

0:59.1

is never going to sit right with me. It's like, it's never going to sit right. And like,

1:03.3

our job is not to get Cuomo back in there. So, you know, so I'm with you, man. None of this

1:09.7

makes sense. What I'm hoping, have you been following that story where they manipulated the gambling lines a little bit and a lot of mom, Donnie supporters might have thrown money in there to look like he's a better shop and he is? I mean, that's kind of what I'm rooting for at this point. And to be clear, like, I grew up around gambling, man. Like, I was, you know, I paid and didn't pay my rent from betting the NFL in my 20s. So I know, Gamb, I just, I don't know if that's a likely scenario either. You know, this is all nuts. Yeah. Yeah, one thing about those polymarkets, betting markets, whoever's got the most money, places the biggest bet moves the odds the most.

1:46.4

And they say with that polymarket, there's like four major betters that basically set the odds.

1:51.3

Yeah, this isn't like when an NBA coach is fixing a poker game.

1:56.5

This is not like an X-ray vision bet.

2:00.2

It's just people throwing a lot of money, but you can, yeah, you can bluff, I guess, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah. So, what do you think? It doesn't look good for, I mean, we hope Curtis wins, but it doesn't look good for Cuomo, does it? It looks like every poll is 10 points behind, 20 points behind. No, and you know what else? When you hear Cuomo say things like, oh, if I don't win, I'm moving to Florida, you really don't want the candidate who's already halfway out the door, you know, as a gambling man. It's like, think about this, New York. If the Yankees are playing in a game seven and you're interviewing them before the game

2:35.0

and they're already looking at luxury resorts in the Caribbean, this is not a team that's

2:40.4

fighting to advance to the next round, you know?

2:43.5

Once that swim-up bar is on the team's mind, it's generally going to kind of, you know,

2:49.6

go halfway on the field.
