Hey, we had the big going away party, retirement party for Joe Bartlett.

It was at Patsy's, the legendary restaurant, 56th, Broadway and 8th.

I think if you go to my Instagram, there's a couple of pictures from there. Yeah, there's one. When you go to Patsy's, when you walk in, you'll see all these celebrity pictures all over the wall. But at the end of the bar, look at that statue. You can see it in the picture. It's an incredible Frank Sinatra statue. That was his favorite restaurant. And then, let's see, here's another picture. You'll see Joe Bartlett and his wife and Sal, the Patsy's owner, holding a jar. Hey, by the way,

it's the best pasta sauce. You can get it in supermarkets, Patsy's, but it's a big party. How many

people would you say that was? I think 60 people maybe? Yeah. Upstairs, a big private room, about 60 people, all radio people.

So, and the food was incredible. Big, big, big, big plates of food. So when you put 60 radio people in a room with a lot of free food, it was like,

it was unbelievable. It was, yeah. And then they kept bringing more food and more food. It was like, it was unbelievable.

It was, yeah.

And then they kept bringing more food and more food. It was like,

it was like,

then big platters of all these incredible desserts.

And it was really scary for a while.

And a lot of speeches touching tributes to Joe Bartlett, but it was a great party.

I still don't think he's really leaving.

He's not leaving.

It's just the biggest negotiating ploy I've ever seen.

So, and it was not, besides all the radio people, Joe Bartlett invited, like, the people that meant the most in his life.

So, uh, I was sitting next to two bartenders and the starter from the golf course.
