Now back to the Mark Simone show on WOR.

0:04.7

Hey, let's take some calls.

0:06.3

Let's go to Jesse in the Bronx.

0:09.4

Jesse, how you doing?

0:11.5

Good morning, Mark.

0:12.4

Thanks for taking my call.

0:13.7

I wanted to talk to you about what my ballot looked like.

0:16.2

And I thought it was very strange in that you didn't really see Andrew Cuomo's name. It didn't come up as independent. It came up as like some fighting whatever party. I don't know. It's a party I've never heard of before. Yeah, well, he's not a major party candidate. He's on some weird third party. The thing is on the ballot at the top is Mamdani and Curtis. Those are the two major party candidates. Right. You got to go eight spaces down to get to Cuomo. That's exactly how it looked. I'm like, where the heck is it? And I'm like, this is rigged for Mamdani to win. And I am not a Mondani guy at all. I'm a single guy, but I want to save the city. I'm sorry to admit it. Okay, but it's not that it's rig. Cuomo lost the Democratic nomination. The ballot is laid out by the major parties, and if you're on a weird third party, you're going to be down further. I get what you're saying. What I'm telling me is that, like, you could have made his name more visible on the top of the line instead of hiding his name somewhere else. Well, you really can't. Then you'd be rigging it because this is always the layout of every ballot in every election. Major parties at the time. If Mondani wins this thing, we're done. We're cooked. And, you know, I... All right, we're changing the subject from what we just say. Okay, we'll change the subject. No'm just saying you can't you can't you can't you got to use the same format for the ballot you always use you can't right okay i get it it goes by the major parties at the top the minor parties at the bottom it's always that way but of course i voted republican down ballot i'm i mean last time i i checked mark you and i were the republicans but you know what i'm saying well i'm not a Republican or a Democrat. I mean, last time I checked, Mark, you and I were the Republicans, but you know what I'm saying? Well, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. I like to pick on both sides, but that's what I'm trying to tell you. You and I know how to vote on both sides of the aisle where Democrats don't know how to vote on both sides of the aisle. Don't worry. Democrats can figure out how to vote. You get a little wet. Okay, we'll see what happens tonight. I mean, a lot of these Democrats, they're crazy. They're Trump haters. They're yelling, screaming, but they're lawyers, professors. I think they could figure out how to read a ballot. Let's go to Rob and Lincoln Park. Rob, how you doing? Mark Simone. Yeah.

2:18.7

2:33.8

Wait, you still get an actual newspaper?

2:37.3

Yeah.

2:38.7

Well, I read it and I put it back.

2:40.7

2:42.1

Oh.

2:43.1

So you steal the neighbor's paper.

2:45.6
