00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.820 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:25.860 Flushing. Who knows?
00:01:28.000 Who cares? It's Mamdani 0.98

00:01:33.820 Oh, Forest Hills. That's where it is.
00:01:36.260 And
00:01:36.500 ugh. AOC
00:01:39.820 was just yapping.
00:01:41.560 It was making me nauseous.
00:01:44.360 God.
00:01:45.560 She's up there. She's got her
00:01:46.900 energetic
00:01:48.300 regular New York voice on. 0.55
00:01:52.100 She didn't put her black voice on or her Hispanic voice. 0.91
00:01:57.360 I guess because it's New York, it's Mamdani's crowd. 0.72
00:02:03.400 So what is that really, I guess? 0.98
00:02:05.600 Indian?
00:02:07.580 Something like that?
00:02:09.140 Islam? 0.98
00:02:10.760 Communist?
00:02:11.200 I don't know what the communist accent is, aside from the old Russian accent.
00:02:17.640 It was moose and squirrel. 0.98
00:02:19.100 so uh it was just making me sick uh talking about uh how how danny's just gonna make new york
00:02:31.560 amazing let's make new york an amazing place to live somehow with everyone else's money and 0.55
00:02:39.520 everything's going to be free and you guys are in some deep crap i gotta tell you i gotta tell you
00:02:51.200 it is looking grim and look i know i know what the mindset is of of many new yorkers and
00:02:59.900 some of my colleagues over on uh this very radio station some of my uh contemporaries
00:03:08.700 My colleagues, they want Curtis out, and they want everyone that does not want Zoran Mamdani to vote for Andrew Cuomo.
00:03:25.740 And look, I see the strategy there. 0.76
00:03:29.140 I'm not stupid, contrary to popular belief. 0.86
00:03:33.360 And I see the strategy there.
00:03:36.340 There isn't a chance of Curtis winning.
00:03:40.340 We know this.
00:03:42.100 And I think Curtis knows this too.
00:03:44.700 But I think backing out of the race for him seems like quitting,
00:03:49.720 seems like abandoning his base of support, his people,
00:03:54.860 his principles and ideology. 0.84
00:03:59.280 You know, he's running a race.
00:04:01.180 He's the candidate, the Republican candidate.
00:04:05.440 He won the nomination.
00:04:07.380 Cuomo didn't.
00:04:09.100 Cuomo lost to Madani.
00:04:11.220 He's an independent.
00:04:13.660 And Curtis feels like, hey, I earned the Republican nomination.
00:04:19.420 I'm staying in this.
00:04:20.800 If anyone should drop out, it's Cuomo.
00:04:23.260 And I understand that take on the whole thing.
00:04:28.420 But even if Curtis dropped out, it's still such a long shot.
00:04:35.440 that Cuomo would win, but maybe.
00:04:39.920 Look, we've seen stranger things in elections,
00:04:43.120 like I was talking about, the Hillary thing, you know?

00:05:19.000 Her birthday, her birthday nine years ago,
00:05:22.660 posting that little picture,
00:05:24.840 a future president's birthday.
00:05:27.540 Happy birthday to the future president.
00:05:31.420 Just a couple of weeks,
00:05:32.700 a couple of weeks from the election they had that wrapped up there was no way possible
00:05:40.600 that that hillary was losing that race and it it looks right now like there's no way possible
00:05:48.780 zoran mandani is going to lose the new york mayoral race but stranger things have happened
00:05:54.660 i i you know for the sake of everyone i know and love in new york
00:05:59.960 a part of me hopes he does not win then there's this twisted sick part of me
00:06:08.240 especially not having to live in new york that uh wants to see we all like to enjoy a good
00:06:18.480 i told you so don't we it's so petty and cheap i get it i understand but there's just something
00:06:29.340 so satisfying i told you with the little smirk you put the that obnoxious smirk on your face
00:06:39.120 you look someone right in the eyes maybe you give a quick little head nod when you smile i go
00:06:45.180 Yeah, I told you.
00:06:47.960 And they get all mad.
00:06:49.660 And there's just this basic human element of satisfaction that goes along with it.
00:06:58.060 And I've spoken and read a lot of comments on social media from people that just cannot wait for the I told you so moment after Danny gets elected and starts his dismantling of.
00:07:14.480 of uh new york city any any recognizable part of new york uh that we know and maybe enjoyed i just
00:07:24.880 can't see it lasting under a zoran mamdani uh mayorship so yeah yeah there's part of part of
00:07:34.900 a lot of people that are saying yeah i want to see it and it it gives validation if he loses
00:07:42.460 um a lot of people won't get to see the damage he would have done now that does sound spiteful
00:07:51.920 like oh i hope he wins so we could see all the damage he can do it's a terrible thing to to want
00:07:59.260 but it really is the only way to show people to shove their nose in it and go look look we told
00:08:06.880 you this we told you this was going to happen it's a disaster and if he doesn't win then you
00:08:16.500 know all of his supporters and all these liberal commies and what have you they get the opportunity
00:08:22.680 to look at whoever is mayor and whatever missteps they make uh and go up would have been so much
00:08:31.180 better under Zoran Mamdani because we never saw a Zoran Mamdani mayor.
00:08:38.760 So in order to validate what everyone is saying about what a disaster he would be as mayor,
00:08:46.680 we kind of have to see it.
00:08:48.660 And I apologize for wanting, for part of me wanting that.
00:08:53.800 And I know, like I said, my colleagues over there at the radio station, they don't agree
00:09:00.620 with that there's a couple that do i know the big boss you know john wants uh wants curtis to
00:09:08.520 drop out he's not demanding he drop out it's an opinion same thing with the sid sid rosenberg uh
00:09:15.480 does the morning show over there and he's gotten a lot of heat for um saying you know i just don't
00:09:21.640 want mem danny to be mayor i don't want cuomo but i more don't want mem danny and that's
