this is the mark simone show 710 w o r well uh joe bartlett of course was a big big big part of

w oar for decades and of course big part of this show and uh he retired but look at this look

who's come crawling back joe bartlett you admit it was was a mistake. You're coming out of retirement. Well, I don't know about that. I mean, I do miss working with you, the morning show, and, you know, being in the middle of the exciting city of New York. I do not miss being stuck in traffic like a lot of people are today in New Jersey, you know, two or three hour delays

trying to get into Manhattan. That's, that I do not miss. You know, life is a lot easier. It takes

me four minutes to get to my golf course. Okay, but how many days a week can you play golf?

Three or four, easy. Really? Yeah, sure. I know you get bored with it but i enjoy it no i

used to play a lot you know i don't know what it is now now i can't uh i don't know it's a different

world now you know it's a you're on your phone every two seconds and yeah yeah it's tough out there

so um you really don't you when you come do you you ever come back to New York and visit? Occasionally. It's a long trip. Oh, well. But don't you miss getting up at 3 a.m.? Don't you miss? That I don't miss. That I do not miss. Man, I haven't seen 3 a.m. in such a long a long time okay but when it's debate night or something

this is exciting yeah don't you miss being on the air for that absolutely but i can talk to you about it

oh okay i know i was i was listening to you this morning and as always you're spot on here um i think

no matter what happens tonight tonight this is going to be

spun in Kamala's favor because you know it's important what is said tonight but more

important I think is how it's reported the next day because a lot of people we

they can't form their own opinions or they will not have watched it, uh, completely. So they'll look at their favorite news site and they'll tell you, Kamala destroyed him. Uh, she could stumble through this whole thing. She could give you the word salads that, uh, she does all the time, but they're going to pick out one or two kind of crazy little things that Trump might say,

and that's going to be the highlight of the coverage tomorrow.

Yeah, you know, last week he came to New York, and he addressed the most serious thing in the world,

the New York Economic Council, and all the great economists were there,

and they told me it was unbelievable, how knowledgeable the detail he went into. Yeah. Hour and 15-minute speech.

They were so impressed at his detailed knowledge of economic policy.

Then the brilliant economist asked him questions.

Adlib, the answers were amazing.
