710 W.O.R's Mr. New York. Mark Simone.

Well, hey, the sun is shining. A lot of you around the country, you don't, you're not in New York.

We had the most brutal rain for the last 36 hours. It's just vicious. And Joe Bartlett, it was, you missed all this rain. It was just awful. The worst flooding rain. And it was so, rain so hard, you couldn't call anybody last night. Because if you called him, all you heard was, I got a leak in my basement. I got a leak in this. This is leaking. I have a leak here. My, this is flooded. Yeah, and you got more coming this week, too. There's a lot of rainy days ahead.

Yeah, but normal rain, right?

Yeah, normal rain, yeah. Yeah, normal rain. This was out of control. But you know what? This is good. We actually were in these drought conditions. We didn't have enough rain. And if you want to get enough rain, I'd rather have it just two days. Give us all the rain for the month. It makes more sense, but it was unbelievable.

Even last night, the LIE was flooded around fresh meadows.

They had to close it down.

Cross Island Parkway was so, the water so deep, cars were stalled and abandoned.

Where else?

I think the Sprainbrook, really, really out of control rain, but the sun is

shining. It's beautiful. Another reason to live in Manhattan. You don't have to worry about this

stuff. Never a problem. So, hey, what's this rumor you're retiring? Yes. It's official. Decided it's

time. Why?

Why?

Yeah, why?

You know what?

A week later, you're going to miss it?

Maybe, but, you know, I just need more time.

I'm getting old.

It sounds exactly the same.

More time for what? What the hell do you need more time for? You got plenty of time. No, no, I've got golf tournaments to play in. I got people to see. Look at this. Tiger Woods here. I don't know. I love to play golf, but can you play golf every day?

I don't know about every day, but I mean, this past weekend I played like four days in a row. Oh my God, I can't do that. I can't, I can't play 18 holes anymore. You know, like nine hole, 10 holes, it's enough. You just can't take it after a while. They've got to come up with a pickleball version of golf where it's quicker, easier. I'm sure they will, yeah.
