Speaker 2: Oh? I'm Mark.

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: Every day. This guy has a different name, a different something.

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to Walter in Forest Hills. Walter, how you doing?

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: Hi, Good morning, Mark, how are you good. I wanted

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: to make a comment on the snow cleanup. You know,

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: I was talking to some of the sanitation guys hanging

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: out at the coffee shop and they mentioned, you know,

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: the city this year directed them that they never had

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: to do this before, but they had to clean and

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: make a priority clean every bike lean in the city.

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: It had to be perfectly clear. So you know, the

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: city you got to remember over the pestcup years, they

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: put these bike lanes down Queens Boulevard the entire length

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: all over green Point Williamsburg. These little side street you

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: got bike lanes, and the bike lanes are protected, so

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: you know, you got these stanchions put up concrete barriers.

23
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: So the city bought these like little snowplow machines for

24
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: the sanitation guys to use. It's like a quarter of

25
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: the size of a street sweeper. Yeah, they really didn't

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: work out too well. One of them overturned on the

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: FDR drive. You know. It was just they're not made

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: for that. It's made for like a mall parking lot,

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: they said. So they said, you know, just to push

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: that amount of snow with that machine, they had to

31
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: bring in, you know, really manual labor. Have you doune

32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 2: your pa.

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: Well, there's some truth to that, but you know, they

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: have not cleared the city bike installations. In fact, there's

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: three thousand city bike installations. Only five hundred of them

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: are working right now because twenty five hundred of them

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: are buried in snow. So they haven't helped the bike population.

38
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: They've for whatever reason, left those specs in bank. A

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: city bike is furious about that, losing the fortune. How

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: are the streets and forest hills?

41
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: They're good, you know, the main streets that the thing

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: is on the side streets you have just you know,

43
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: because people clearing out the driveways. When they clear out

44
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: the driveways, these big mountains of snow in the string,

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: huge mountains it's just going to stay there until it mounts,

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: you know.

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And all right.

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: Well fortunately we have a driveway.

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: All right, Well thanks for calling Walter. Yeah, you got

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: another other problem is Friday night into Saturday morning, you

51
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: could have one inch of snow. It's not going to

52
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: be much, but it could be some snow Friday night

53
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: into Saturday morning, up to about one inch. If you're way,

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: way way out in Long Island, you could get over

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: an inch. But the other problem is sad Friday night

56
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: Saturday is going to be extremely cold, worse than what

57
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: you've been through in the last seventeen days. Friday night,

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: Saturday Saturday night may be the single coldest day and

59
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: night of the entire winter. But then next week it

60
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: goes back into the thirties. That should get back to normal.

61
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: Let's go to Paul in Boston. Paul, how you doing?

62
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: Bye? Mock, mock, Why don't you have He's trying to say,

63
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: is how.

64
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: Break? We can't take your call anymore? No more Paul

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: from Boston ever ever Again, that's the same call from yesterday.

66
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: He's talking about some listener nobody ever heard of. So uh,

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: no more Paul from Boston. You're done Paul. You can call,

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: but won't We won't put you on the air anymore. Yeah. So, yeah,

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: it's not even a Paul from Boston. They just changed

70
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: their voice. The problem is, if you want to do

71
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, you got to get rid of

72
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: the accent. You know, when you got that accent, everybody

73
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: can recognize your voice instantly. You can't fool anybody. That's

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: the problem. Hey, the super Bowl is Sunday, so you

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: might want to bear that in mind. If you're going

76
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl party that kind of stuff, you're

77
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: going to overeat like crazy. You might want to plan

78
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: ahead the very little eating on Saturday. Eat real light

79
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Friday and Saturday. Get ready for that. Hey, the Milania movie,

80
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: the Milania documentary, it's out there. It's in theaters. You

81
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: can go see it. You know, it's the number two

82
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: film in America right now. I know if you read

83
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: all the left wing fake news media. Though it's not

84
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: doing well, it's a blow what day it's about not

85
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: reaching the It's the number two film in America right now.

86
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: If you take the list of the top grossing films,

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: it's number two for the week. Number two. That's that's huge,

88
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: huge for a documentary. It's made over ten million dollars already.

89
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: The only problem with it they there's a theater in Oregon.

90
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: You know, Oregon's like a left wing kook kind of

91
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: a place. So you know it's Amazon. Amazon's behind the

92
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Milania movie. So it was playing in a big theater,

93
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: and apparently the local employees at the theater, remember the

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: they all left wing kooks out there, put terrible things

95
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: on the marquee. It had the title to the film,

96
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: but then they put these insulting things about Milania on

97
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: the marquee next to the title. So Amazon has pulled

98
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: the film out of that theater. Now I think that's it.

99
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: I'll just pull the film and leave the theater alone.

100
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: But when you're a movie theater, you need to do

101
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: business with Amazon with a lot of films. So it's

102
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: a big mistake. You've seen this happen. We're local employees

103
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: go nuts. Remember that Hilton in Minnesota where they refuse

104
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: to allow Ice agents to stay there, even though they

105
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 1: had a reservation. They turned them away. Hilton fired the hotel,

106
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: they took their name off it. They you know, when

107
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: you become build a nice hotel, you make a deal

108
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: with Hilton to put the name all over it, promote it,

109
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: run it, call it to Hilton. So Hilton walked away

110
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: from this local hotel. So now these guys have a

111
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: blank hotel with no name, no help from Hilton, no

112
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: use of Hilton's reservation service or anything. So it's a

113
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: mess for them. Hey, when we come back the hunt

114
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: for Steve Moore, we hope we'll be talking to him next.

115
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: Steve Moore coming up, the great economist, lots to talk

116
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: to him about, and we'll do that in just a second.

117
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: On seven to ten, wor
