He knows the news before it's news.

Mark Simone.

On 710 W-O-R.

Hey, we'll take some calls, 800.

321-710 is the number.

Hey, today we got the big retirement party, Joe Bartlett, at Patsy's, the legendary restaurant.

Patsies, where, of course, it was Frank Sinatra's favorite restaurant, Joe Bartlett at Patsy's the legendary restaurant. Patsy's where, of course, it was Frank Sinatra's favorite restaurant.

Joe Bartlett loves it. A lot of New Yorkers do.

Sinatra used to have dinner there.

And when he said dinner, it was 20 to 50 people.

So sometimes a guy would say to me, Frank invited me to dinner. I can't wait. I didn't have the heart to tell them. Dinner's 40 people. You're going to be 14 seats away. And don't talk. You'll never get a word in. He talks the whole time. But let's go to Eric in Morristown. Eric, how you doing? Good. Simone, Simone. The debate last night, we got to get rid of this format. It's antiquated. It's old. It's out of date. They got to find something new. The mediator has too much influence when they should let them go. They should let them go. They shouldn't interfere. I don't know what would be next, but what do you think they should do about it? Well, you know, everybody says that. You're not wrong. It's a terrible format. The worst. This one was pretty good, but like those local, Channel 2, Channel 4, those were the most disgusting debates. A lightning round. I want a one word answer. This should be illegal. It's a presidential campaign. A one word answer. I want to hear

the guy talk. I want to hear him in depth. I want a one word answer here. And then 30 seconds.

You know, the Lincoln Douglas debates, I think went on for five days. And when they brought up

the topic, each person spoke for a half hour on the topic.

I mean, but it's the internet age.

It's the Twitter world.

You can't talk for a half hour on anything.

Nobody's going to listen.

You know, even on a TV show, every segment, five guests, three minutes, boom, the next thing.

So it's just the way people are built nowadays.

But the debates always get criticism it's just

normal let's go to uh rob and franklin square rob how you doing yeah good morning mark
