This is the Mark Simone show.

Mr. New York.

710 W.O.R.

Hey, we'll take some calls 800.

321.0.710 is the number.

Hey, that New Jersey Senate race, the woman I was talking about, she's the mayor of Mendham.

It's Christine, not Senator.

Christine Serenow-Glassner, the mayor of Mendham.

She's the one a lot of Republicans like for the nomination to run against the governor's wife, Tammy.

Anyway, let's take some calls.

Let's go to Mara in Nevada.

Mara, how you doing?

So good.

I'm talking to you and I'm having my first cup of coffee. Mara, one of our favorite listeners. In fact, if you want to see her, we finally got a picture of her. It's up on my Instagram, Mark Simone, NYC, at Instagram. Well, Mark, and tell the truth, that's two years old. It was over the belagio chow vincent mark i wanted to call

you yesterday after those cognitive questions yes number one i could do the clock not only in our

american numbers the roman numerals i could go to 12 but here's the thing about counting back from

a hundred now listen trust me it may sound complicated it isn't. You're going to do it in your head, one, two, three. What I did, 93 is a given. So I went, add 10, 83, then add 3, 86. Now, Mark, trust me joe biden's not going to be able to do that

hey let me point out can i ask how old you are mara um i was just 94 in february now now don't

now don't keep pointing out it's not about age it's not the number no listen to mara sharp as a

tax still working as a hooker in las vegas and god bless you no no, now I got to give a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, please. No, wait. But, look, you got Warren Buffett as 94, goes to work every day, sharp as can be. Bernie Marcus, Home Depot, goes to work every day. Ninety-five. Mark, can I give you a tip? Can I give you my tip? Yes. What's the secret? No BS. Don't BS in your life. Tell the truth. The problem why Biden can't remember when his year his son died, because he said he died in Iraq. And in the brain, he remembers seeing him alive. Don't lie. Very good point, Mara. Thanks for calling. Yeah, that's the thing. Joe Biden, there's certain lies he's been telling so long. You know, if you keep telling the same lie, you forget it's a lie. You start to believe it. Anyways, go to Blowelt in Florida. Blowelt, how you doing? Good morning, Mark. How are we doing today? Good. And you know, I worked over 30 years in New York City. I started in a diamond district. I worked on the trading floor, the New York Stock Exchange, and I started my first business in New York City. I was a jobber selling coal cuts off a truck in New York City. I met Donald Trump on Mattis Avenue in 55th, not just a little wave going down the street, and I'd actually met him. But the last time I was in New York City, and that's what I want to talk about a little bit, as a New York City, you think, well, it's coming back. I was down past Union Square, going straight down Broadway. I've never seen so many empty locations. Well, when I was, when I was, wait, wait, wait, wait, you got to be fair about that. There are empty retail stores, but that has nothing to do in New York. That's everywhere in America. That's just online shopping replacing retail store. That's true. That's true. That's true. But, I mean, that was the great shopping all the way down from...

Yeah, but you go down to Union Square. You know, there are stores going out, but that's everywhere.

But you got major stores opening crate and barrel just open a huge place down in Union Square.
