00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: Now.

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone show on woor.

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 3: Well, you know what is becoming very hot? Majong? Remember

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 3: the game Majong? It was like old Yenta's in Brooklyn

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 3: and Queen's. The old ladies would play this Majong was

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 3: I didn't know how you play? It's with tiles and

9
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 3: do you remember this a few Seinfeld episodes where George

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 3: goes home to visit his mother and she's playing Majong

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: with the neighbors. Believe it or not, this has become

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: a very hot, trendy activity right now. Majong is considered

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: very hot, very cool. Younger people are playing it. You

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 3: go to the sleekiest, hottest, trendiest new restaurants, clubs, they're

15
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: playing it. How the hell did this happen? Apparently it

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: goes back to a couple of years ago. Sarah Jessica

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 3: Parker started the trend and another celebrities and then got

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: on Instagram and then it's getting played all over the

19
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: place right now. So these are like the big activities

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: of the future. Pickleball, Majong, that's unbelievable. Let's go to

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 3: Bob in Montvale, New Jersey. Bob, how you doing.

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Mark, Thanks for taking my call. Hey,

23
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: earlier you mentioned that the State of the Union doesn't

24
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: have to take place in Washington, d C. Yeah, Now,

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: can you imagine live from Greenland with JD and the crew.

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: Well, you probably got to do it in America. You

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: probably got to do it in the US, but you

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: could do it from different cities every year. No reason

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: you have to sit there in front of Hakeem Jefferies

30
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: and do it. Let's go to David in New Jersey. David,

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: how you doing?

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 4: Thank you for taking my call.

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 5: I wanted to say, as an honorably discharged Navy veteran,

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 5: where are the indictments on Russia Gate? The gun grabber

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 5: Pam BONDI kept George Zimmerman in jail until his acquittal.

36
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 5: Enough is enough. I have no illusions about anyone ever

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 5: actually getting convicted on Rushi Gate, but at least let's

38
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 5: have some indictments.

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: All right, good idea. Let's go to Bill in Lafayette,

40
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: New Jersey. Bill, how you doing?

41
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 4: Hi? Mark? Two quick things at the very beginning of

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 4: the Olympics, Andrea Bocelli shang, I think it was Polucci

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: Act one. And there is talent there. I stood in

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: my living room crying. The people I talked to at

45
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: goosebumps and were shivering. There's talent and that is why

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 4: my TV went off at halftime.

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: And you got to remember, you're an older guy, you

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: like that. The younger people like bad Bunny and they

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: don't know what the hell Andre but Shelley is singing?

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: You got It was always that way. You can go

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: back to nineteen fifty eight and if you're young, you

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: liked Elvis, if you're old, you like Nat King Cole.

53
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: I mean, it's always a divided between old and young.

54
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's about talent, isn't it.

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, But you're not the one the only one to

56
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 3: judge it. Younger people got their idea of talent, you know,

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 3: if they liked the way bad bet Bunny's pretty talented.

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: Well, how many people got the shivers when they listened

59
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 4: to dumb Bunny?

60
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: I mean compared to well, apparently a lot because he's

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: the biggest selling recording artist in the world right now.

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: Is the concert sell you know, I guess he's selling

63
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 4: had stuff to a bunch of knuckleheads sixteen year olds.

64
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, but they you know, they're not knuckleheads.

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: You know, everybody said the same thing about the Beatles

66
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: back then. They said the same thing about Elvis back then.

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 3: There's always going to be this big split in the demographics.

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you.

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,480
