  Speaker 1: This is a podcast from WOR.

• 0:04
  Speaker 3: Mendte in the morning on 710WOR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Well, Larry, look who's here.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's on loan from Mark Simone, Chris, The Quiet Storm.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I've been trying to get him to shut up. My God,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: that guy just talks and talks and talks. That's what
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: they say about me, yeah. Let's give you an IQ
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: test here. Proud graduate of Seton.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Hall, right?
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Just like Natalie, Natalie, right? Proud graduate of Seton Hall,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: our producer.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: What do you notice that's different about this studio today
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: as we begin the morning show?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I noticed your hat looks a little bit different. Do
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: not refer to it as a hat. Sorry, your beret.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Your beret looks a little bit different. My apologies. That beanie?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Or a tam.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You know, if it had the little twister on top,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it would be called a tam. It looks a little fresher. Well,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: let me give you the origin of this. Yesterday, Larry,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: remember we joined all our colleagues at iHeart. Sales, promotions,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: all the shows, all the morning shows were present. And
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I was publicly humiliated and embarrassed in front of our
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: colleagues because Elvis Duran of Z100, while surrounded by his posse,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: looked at me and pointed because he had seen that
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the sales department had a Halloween party the night before
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and they were wearing red berets. And he goes, gee,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the red berets on the sales department seem to be
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: so much better than yours.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I noticed, Curtis.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: You have your red satin jacket and a dingy, dirty.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: What color is that beret? See, I like the old beret.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I like the old beret. You know what? What do
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: they call it in fashion when a beret, a distressed?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: It was distressed. It had life to it. Yes, exactly.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It's like you've been a few places. You're right, Chris.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You're right, Larry.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But I made the classic mistake of telling my wife, Nancy,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: who is a groupie of Elvis Duran and his show. That,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you know, your hero humiliated me today. And she goes,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: over what? And then I explained, you know, that he
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: basically said I need a new red beret. And so
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: when I go to sleep at 10 at night, I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: wake up at 1.30 in the morning and I begin
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to do my show prep because that's the quietest time
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of the day it is for me. I'm looking around
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: for my red beret.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Gone. Gone. So I'm in a panic. You know, this
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: is like you just lost your wallet, right? I'm tossing everything.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: She probably disposed of it, incinerated it. I have no idea.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And then there was the backup beret. The backup beret
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: was out, and I said, oh, man, how could she
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: do that to me? And so now I have to
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: style and profile and break in a brand-new red beret.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Here's why you should feel okay about it, because I
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: will be honest to God honest with you.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't notice.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: When you came in, I didn't notice there was a
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: different beret. And if he didn't tell you, Chris, now
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: you be honest now, if he didn't tell you it
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: had changed, would you have noticed?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I didn't notice before he said something.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, see?
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I feel like maybe throughout the span of the show,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: of the morning, I might have figured it out.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on. Yeah, well, I mean, you're barely awake
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: for the span.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Of the show.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: All right, okay. You know.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Even though I love the support you have lent me
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in this issue against my wife and Elvis Duran, when
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is the last time you were at an eye check
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: at the Department of Motor Vehicles?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Because, I mean, it's a big difference. Is it really? Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: It's big.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I really, honest to God, this isn't like a bet.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Honest to God, I didn't notice the difference, and I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: still don't.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: There was wear on, like, the seams.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Of his old one.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I like it that way. I like it that way. But, hey,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you know, the wife has prevailed because of Elvis Durant.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Part two.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I walked into a Chase Bank yesterday. I had to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: get documents notarized, a whole series of documents. And I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: had the old torn and tried and true red beret
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: on my head. So a young man is notarizing it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, we saw that video you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: put up about mailbox theft.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Because it's systemic everywhere.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And he goes, you know, most of my day is
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: spent with people like you.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I know what he meant. My age, you know, boomers
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: walking in.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Here screaming because their checks were stolen that they sent
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: in the mail. And the first thing I tell them
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: is don't mail your checks in the mailbox. Now, this
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is your generation, Chris. Telling my generation, don't trust the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: blue mailbox. Don't put checks or things of value in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the mailbox. You know, bring it, as he said, bring
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it to the post office or give it to your
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: postal carrier. He said people still insist on writing checks.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: They're angry at me. I'm warning them, even though I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: got to try to track down these checks, even our
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: own Natalie Migliore. has said that her parents are old school.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: They write checks. They mail checks. No matter how many
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: times she tells them and her sister tells them, you know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: there's a good chance that check may not arrive where
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. And more importantly, you could be
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a victim of theft.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. They keep writing checks and mailing them.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: This is your thing. I mean, you've been on this
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: now for a while. This is a crusade. It's a campaign.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: You should call your hand-holding friend, Mom Donnie, and see
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: if you can do a PSA.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You know, he wants people not to have the mail-in
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: votes counted, right? Yeah, there you go. Because it's the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: elderly vote. He wants them stolen. I got it. It's
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the only vote.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: That he didn't win, the elderly vote. But in reality,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: there's five days left of voting. I don't care who
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you're voting for. I want you to vote. And if
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you're going to do it by mail-in votes, because now
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you're really pressing it. You know, normally it might take
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the U.S. Postal Service three days to deliver a ballot.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It has to be delivered by the time your balloting ends,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: whether in New Jersey or New York, on election night.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We don't have the extended afterwards, like California. What is it,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: 300 days the mail-in ballot can arrive afterwards?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Then it can be added to the account. So please.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Bring your mail-in ballot to your local post office or
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: give it to your postal carrier. Do not put it
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in the blue mailbox because of all the theft that's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: taking place.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: This brings up a lot of really interesting questions. Do
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: you use the mail anymore? When was the last time
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: you and your generation mailed a letter? Me personally, like
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: a letter, I don't.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Use the mail very often i said sometimes i like
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: when i sell clothes online i'll like go to the
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: post office and drop it off.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Wait a second will you sell clothes online.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Not like regularly but you know something old things in
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: my closet like i've made like a couple hundred dollars
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: over like a year like on ebay yeah oh not
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: not ebay specifically but a site similar to that that's
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: just for clothes like secondhand clothes yeah you know when
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: i have things that i've like gone through my closet
• 7:18

• 7:22
  Speaker 1: This?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this shirt? Yeah, I just got this like a
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: few months ago. Let me ask you a question. The strokes, man.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: You don't go through your closet and then say, I'm
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: going to give this to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: No, there are certain things that I give to Goodwill.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: And then there are certain things, like it's usually like
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: old sports jerseys. I have old sports jerseys and I'm like, oh,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: I could get like 30, 40 bucks for this.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I give hundreds of dollars to Goodwill. I give so
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: much to Goodwill. Just the special ones I sell. There
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: you go. Now, we're immersed in marathon coverage.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie will be taking it from beginning to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: end on Sunday.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But yesterday.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: A specialist at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital published his research.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Remember about 60 years ago, Larry?
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I remember I was a teenager and they were telling
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: older people at that time, you need to take 10,000
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: steps a day. You'll live a long life. You'll have
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: less problems. 10,000 steps a day. Well, this guy, the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: specialist at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital said he You know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that would take you two hours of walking every day.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Nobody took that seriously. Nobody took that seriously. Did you? Oh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: you probably do 10,000 steps anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: didn't affect me. You didn't even count.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: No, no, I don't know anybody that saw that and said,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I got to get my 10,000 steps in. I know
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: people that walk every day, which just to keep an elf,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: you know, but. I don't think anybody ever took that seriously.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: What's he saying?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: How many? He said taking fewer than 2,000 steps is
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: considered sedentary, meaning you're inactive, you're more subject to have
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: medical issues. So he said try to get it up
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to like 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, and in smaller increments. Don't
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: try to take on too much at one time. But
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: it's still, look, most people are not going to run
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a marathon. Most people are not going to run. or jog.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: So this is the best alternative for a lot of
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: our listeners out there is get out and just start
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: walking around.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I've seen a lot of people, especially older walking.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I think that message has gotten through, but if it
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: didn't anybody, they should get out and walk. And here's
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: what I want to know about the, uh, about the
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: post office. How many of you are still mailing letters
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: in a mailbox? It'd be interesting because I don't think
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I have in a while. I usually had to go
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: to the post office or just do it online. That's
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: a pretty interesting question. Also, is there a piece of
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: clothing that you're so attached to that you will not
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: get rid of it, like the beret that was thrown
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: in the trash?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: If I know my wife, Nancy, she disposed of it
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: way away from the apartment.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: See? he could have sold that. Oh my God. That's
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. That would fetch some money. Oh, no question. Right?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you see, unlike you, you uber-capitalist looking to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: make money, I would have donated it to a charity.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: You know how sometimes they'll have it before the charity event.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: They'll have different things showcased. How much will you bid
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: for this?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Auction it off.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can auction it. Yeah, somebody else can make
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: money from it. That's not what you said. Okay. Somebody's
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: selling it. It doesn't have to be him selling it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: A church could sell it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Nancy, probably like a squirrel, you know, hiding nuts, has
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: hid it somewhere. But that's a great idea. I'm going
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to say to you, look, I give up. No mas,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: no mas. I got to wear the new beret. But please,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of charities, animal welfare charities. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: That's a good idea. That we subscribe to.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Why don't you donate my beret to them so they
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: can auction it off?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: That's a way to get your old beret back. There
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you go.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: You just say, hey, I need it back because I
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: want to auction it off. for a pet charity or
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: a dog charity or something, and she'll go for that
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: cat charity. Yeah, but she'll do it herself. She'll say,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I'm not giving it to you. His hands are never
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: touching that beret again. She's way too smart for that. Anyway,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: if you do want to leave us a talkback on
