Mr. New York is on the case. The Mark Simone show on 710 W.O.R.

Hey, we'll take some calls 800. 321. 0-710 is the number. The Bill Ackman pickup line.

May I meet you? Well, Jacqueline Carl just said, if a guy walked up to her and said that that she'd think there was something wrong with him and would run.

He's on to something with the politeness and the good grammar.

So maybe come up with a variation of it.

Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt.

May I just say hello?

Still sounds lame.

I don't know.

Try something like that. Let's to paul in beth page

paul how you doing i'm doing great mark good morning i wanted to ask you about mondani with this

free transit with the buses and stuff let's let's just say hypothetically he tells tish

that don't enforce it like you enforce spitting in the subway

then he's getting his wish isn't he yeah you could do that right now half the people don't pay

the subway or the buses half the people jump to turnstile or just get on and don't pay and drivers

they don't enforce that now so the people that want to ride for free are riding for free. Free buses, it's just a gimmick. If you had a major, massive affordability crisis, the bus prices, that's not going to solve it. Obviously, it's just a little gimmicky thing. Let's go to Cheryl in Monmouth County. Cheryl, how you doing? Good, Mark. How are you? I listen to you all the time. Love you. I'm calling... Now, let me ask you a personal question. If you lived in Connecticut, you'd say, I'm from this town. I'm from Westport. I'm from Danbury. But New Jersey people, they identify themselves by the county.

Why is that?

I don't know.

I'm from Bergen County.

Why don't they just say what town they're in?

You know, I did it because I didn't want too much information out.

What, do you think we're following you?
