Hour 3: Toy Hall of Fame · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You know, early on, Larry, you and I were remembering
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: when we played touch football and how you had to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: count out Mississippis before you charged a quarterback. M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I. Nobody,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: nobody in this stratosphere of politics thought that Mississippi was
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in contention. The sitting Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith was considered a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: shoo-in as a Republican. And Scott Column, people were saying,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you'll have a good career in the future. You were
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a good DA, but you're just not resonating with the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: voters at all. As I had mentioned a month ago,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a series of black Democrats from Mississippi went to Chuck Schumer. Hey,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the guy's showing he's starting to really move up. Look,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: check it out. Chuck Schumer said, no chance. We're not
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: spending a nickel, dime or penny in Mississippi. And now
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: with the neck and neck vote, very slow count, I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: might add. It has come down, not to a recount,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: because Larry, you pointed out early on in this process,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Mississippi is one of those states that has no provision
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: for a recount, no matter how close.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It could be 10 votes. There's no recount.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So the lawyers for the Republican senator have moved quickly
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and they have filed for an immediate separation and custody
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: for the presentation of all affidavit ballots. So this is
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: going to court. And remember, I've been warning about the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: affidavit ballots. And let me just explain real quick. Many
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: people go to their local polling location, no matter where
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it is, and they walk in.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, your name is not on. you know, in our book.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And they get frustrated and angry and they storm out.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And I say, you request an affidavit ballot. You fill
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it out right there. And then they'll check to see if,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in fact, you're on the rolls. In Mississippi, you have
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to provide a government ID. Whoa, Mississippi, you have to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: provide a photographed government ID.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Some people sometimes forget it. It happens. And so you
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: get to cure it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: That means you get to come back to your board
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of election headquarters and show the photo ID that you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: said you had left home or it wasn't available to you.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You have a limited amount of time to do that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: That could be about 4,000 votes of people who filled
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: out this affidavit ballot at their polling location.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: They could determine the winner of this neck and neck race.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: The reason I'm laughing, I'm not laughing at anything you said.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I just checked Alaska's results, the slowest counting state in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the whole world, and they had 75% of the vote
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in yesterday, right? And they had 75% of the vote
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: in the day before. They have 74% of the vote
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: in today. How is that possible? They're going the wrong way.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Well, is it that some of the absentee ballots, mail-in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ballots are coming in the Iditarod race, you know, where
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you have much, much, much, you know, you got the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: dogs transferring it on the sled because a lot of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: these places, there's no roads.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But they're also proud of the way they count. There's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: a guy named Eric Croft who is head of the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: election counting. You know, there's a Republican and a Democrat
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that's there as they count these votes. And this is
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the way he described the voting in Alaska.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: We're still counting up here. We take a kind of
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: different approach. We treat this process more like sex. Finishing
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: first and early is not the main goal. We prefer
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: to take it slow, kind of do it right. And
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: hopefully at the end, everybody involved is satisfied.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Larry, please play that again.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard a description of Avoiding
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: delay in this way.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: This is quintessential Alaska.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: We're still counting up here. We take a kind of
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: different approach. We treat this process more like sex. Finishing
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: first and early is not the main goal. We prefer
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: to take it slow, kind of do it right. And
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: hopefully at the end, everybody involved is satisfied.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Satisfied. Everybody's happy at the end. Nobody's going to be
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: happy with it.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, in addition, apparently Kash Patel has his
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: FBI agents in Alaska hunting down the fake Sullivan.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Nobody can find the guy now in that fishing village. Oh, again?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Near the Aleutian Islands. Yeah, the newspapers had him for
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: a little bit, and that's amazing that he escaped again.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: That is, listen, it is ranked choice voting, so who
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: finishes third and where those votes go are going to
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: be a big deal. Right now, Mary Peltola is still ahead.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: But again, it's just a few hundred votes. And you
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: know the controversy by now that there's someone else. Dan S.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Sullivan is the Republican nominee and the senator. And Daniel J.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Sullivan is just some guy the Democrats allegedly found to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: confuse voters. And I said it's a few hundred votes.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Right now, Daniel L. Sullivan has 3,600 votes. Now, You
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: heard constantly, starting with the New York Times, and then
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: from many other people, that this was a plot by
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the Democrats. They went out to find this guy. They
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: looked at 48 possible Daniel Sullivans, and this fisherman from
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: way up north is the one that said, I'll do it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Never campaigned. So it's obvious that he was only on
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the ballot to try to throw the votes to Mary Peltola.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And that's why there's going to be an investigation after this.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: That's why the Republican Party is saying, put aside all
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of Daniel J. Sullivan, the fake Daniel Sullivan's votes. But
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I want you to listen to something. Fox News was
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: up there, and I don't know the reporter's name, but
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: he did a really good job. He found a reporter.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: He found a voter, I should say. that voted for
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Daniel J. Sullivan. And on the ballot, because remember, it's
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: ranked choice, put Daniel J. Sullivan first. And I want
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: you to listen carefully. There's going to be some dead
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: air because he takes a long time deciding whether he
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: should answer a question. But listen to this answer and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you tell me if he didn't know already what was
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: going on. So you did Daniel J. Sullivan first. As
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: your first choice. Then you did Mary Patola as your second. Okay.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Would you like to see Daniel J. Sullivan as your senator,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: or was that more strategy with ranked choice? I am
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: confident that vote will go towards Patola at the end
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: of the day. Mostly strategy. Correct. Oh, my God. So
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: they knew.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The Democratic voters already knew. I think we can agree
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the fix was in on this. I mean, out of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: all the states reporting their returns, and there have been
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: very few suggestions of fraud, the fix was in when
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the old gray lady New York Times spent all of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: its resources to track this down and have pinned this
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to Chuck Schumer, who was in charge of the finances
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: for pumping up Democrats running. who rejected the Mississippi black guy,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even give him a nickel, and poured money into Peltola.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But the other thing is, it was obviously the Peltola
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: campaign itself that was in on this.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Peltola herself. The New York Times had some
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: text back and forth from her. She knew this too.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Here's the problem, and Curtis has the addendum to this,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: but the problem is, If there was no money exchanged
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: or no promises exchanged, which would really be strange, don't
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you think? But if Daniel J. Sullivan just hated Daniel S.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Sullivan and was willing to do this for free, no
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: laws would have been broken. Nobody can find a law
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: either in the state or federal that is a law
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: that was broken. Now, that doesn't stop the Justice Department
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: from being up there right now, because if they can
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: prove that this guy was promised something, then it's a felony.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be a fascinating, a fascinating election
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: results to look at. And it's not going to happen.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I guess they said they're expecting about 10 days for
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: them to have results up there.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Obviously, they're having very long sexual encounters in counting the ballots.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I've never heard anything like that in my life. But anyway,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: on the Mississippi side, and maybe this is a strategy
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the Democrats will use. As you know, President Donald Trump
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: unexpectedly went in and did a rally for the sitting
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Republican senator who was originally thought to be a shoo-in.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Do you know that the Democrat, instead of showing up
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the column, the African-American, instead of protesting, which they always
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: do at a Trump rally, He just walked the line.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He talked to everybody. He listened.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: The MAGA people took pictures with him and then shared
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the pictures, said, hey, you know, I'm not going to
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: vote for him, but he's not a bad guy. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: they think that that might have... persuaded some Republicans, maybe
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: not hardcore MAGA, but seeing him and being referred to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: as a good listener. See, this is what politicians don't do.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: They don't listen. No, you're absolutely right. And Scott Column
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: talks about this. Listen, he got no money. He had
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: nobody supporting him. The Democratic Party wouldn't support him. And
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: he said, I worked every single day. I didn't count
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: on TV ads. I didn't count on radio ads.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: From morning until night, he was out. He was at
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: supermarkets as people walked in and out. He didn't care
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: if they were Republican or Democrat. And he talked to them.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: This is going to be, if Scott Cullum And he's
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a Democrat, so I hope he doesn't win. But if
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: he does win, people are going to look at this
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: race and say, this is how you win when you're underfunded.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You don't just give up like most people do. You
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: work your butt off and you get out there and
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: you talk to as many voters as you possibly can.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: And you take pictures with them and you make sure
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: they share it on social media. If he wins, if
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: he wins... It might be the new way of campaigning
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: because this is going to send shockwaves around the political
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: world that thought you could just buy these elections. So, again,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I hope he loses. But if he does. When we
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: come back, I know all of you have your favorite
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: toys from growing up, and there is a Hall of
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Fame for this. We'll tell you the latest inductees coming up,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: plus a chance to see Def Leppard and the Goo
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Goo Dolls next. Do you know there was a Toy
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame?
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: No.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: It's in Rochester, New York. It's been around since 1998.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Toys and games like Monopoly are in it. Swing sets
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: are in it. Yo-yos are in it. jacks are in
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: it they used to play jacks and they induct new
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: toys every year so they just inducted some toys slinkies

  Speaker 2: slinkies are already in it okay so this is these
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: are the new toys care bears that's a that's a
• 11:49

• 11:51
  Speaker 2: my kids and it's now making a big comeback on
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: social media i feel like they've been around forever and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: i haven't heard of them in a while yeah they're
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: actually making a comeback yeah Pokemon cards, which are huge
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: right now. And then some oldies. Bingo, which wasn't in there. Again,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: how is it not? Bingo has been around forever. How
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: is that not in yet? Well, it's in now. Don't complain.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: And Playground Slides. Playground Slides.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: No wonder why they call Rochester, Rotchester now.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Man, this guy doesn't like anything. No, none
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: of those. These are toys. Come on. Only one classic toy.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: That is the red wagon. I had one.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: My favorite cat of all times, Ajax, who's neurologically impaired,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: has a little red wagon.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, red wagons. Is that the only toy
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: you had? Is that why you're such a curmudgeon? No,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I had the red fire truck, too. Remember, red was
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: my favorite color, and still is. Did you have a
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Red Ryder BB gun? No, I didn't have no guns.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: No?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Okay. Don't be talking about guns here. Let's get to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: our talkbacks, and we start with Natalie's New York accent.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Is it just me?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Since Curtis came out to WOR.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I swear, Natalie Migliore's New York accent has gotten so thick.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Don't say that to her. She got offended.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Do you know what she started in radio at NPR?
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Where they didn't permit that kind of New York accent,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: so she's morphed. But I think I've had that influence
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: on her ever since Tom Cuddy consummated our relationship in March.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: She is sounding more and more New York. Everybody agrees.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Especially when she went to the San Gennaro Festival, did
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: some videos with me. People were saying, my God, you
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: sound like a Supreme Couchinette.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Well, that was an interesting discussion you had with Rob Astorino.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: But I would say that Lawler lost for the same
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: reason Rob Astorino lost. And that is because of his
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: association with Donald Trump in Westchester. Don't fly here no more, guys.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: And whoever's going to be running on the Republican ticket
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: in two years from now has got to divest themselves
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: of a MAGA.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Association. A lot of things there. You're right. You're right.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: A lot of candidates lost because of their association with
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump. There's no question about that. We don't know
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: what it's going to be like in two years. Remember,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: an association with Barack Obama made him lose 63 seats
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: in the House. Two years later, anybody that was associated
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: with Golden. So just slow your roll.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: Good morning. I want to talk about Texas turning blue.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: And I think part of the blame should be on
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: George W. Bush, who came out with his support of Tallarico.
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: He is the past president of the United States and
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: to put country first. And rather than see Trump win,
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: He'd rather see our country fail. What message is he
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: sending to his fellow Americans? The future is for his
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: grandchildren as well as mine. I'm so disappointed.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But no matter, Paxton was a corrupt candidate. He was
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a weak candidate. And he brought down Abbott. Abbott was
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: a strong governor. He built Texas, encouraged all the investment.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And encouraged a lot of people to come there from
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: California and New York, which may have diluted that red
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and turned it purple.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't blame just George W. Bush. This happened
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: across the country.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Curtis, I can't even believe it. As an Italian-American Catholic,
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: and Christmas isn't big for you?
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: What?
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: That is such a disgrace, as you say, disgracia.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Nah, Christmas never big. Sorry. You know, it didn't float
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: my boat. The birth of Christ?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Well, you look at it from the religious connotation. I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: look at it from toys under the Christmas tree, which
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: was very German, I might.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I want to remind you. It was your peeps that
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: created this. Yeah, St. Christopher.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: The purpose of an impeachment is not to get a conviction.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: It's to drag somebody through adverse publicity, tie them up
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: in all kinds of legal proceedings, force them to pay
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars of legal fees
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: and ruin them financially. The process is the punishment, not
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: the conviction.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: They don't pay when they're in office. You're paying for that.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: You are paying for that. Now, the news at 8.30
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: with Daria Albiger. Good morning, guys.
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Rain today with a high of 68 degrees, and it
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: looks like we've already hit that high. The temperatures will
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: drop a little bit as the rain continues to fall.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Don't forget the umbrella.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: You'll need it today.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: Police are searching for a suspect in an attempted kidnapping
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: in the Bronx.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: The NYPD is looking for the man who approached an
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: 11-year-old girl walking near the intersection of Bruckner Boulevard and
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: Lincoln Avenue at around 5 p.m.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Tuesday.
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: The girl didn't know the man who allegedly tried to
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: snatch her by forcefully grabbing her wrist. He was unsuccessful
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: and took off from the scene on foot. The NYPD

  Speaker 2: Now let's get to Joe Neumeier, film journalist and WOR
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: movie minute host. Hey, Joe, listen, I know you want
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to talk about the movies coming out this weekend, but
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I just want to talk about a movie. It's a
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: documentary that you would have already talked about before I know,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: but I didn't know it would be this big. Number
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: one at the box office again. You can see everything. Now,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I know there's been bigger documentaries. It's made 64 million
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: so far, and there's been bigger ones, Michael Jackson just recently.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: But the fact that it's made 64 million and it
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: calls itself an American experience. meta documentary don't even know
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: what that means is it really that good? Uh, I
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: don't think so, but I think it's interesting.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: I think it is, it has become something, and this
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: is like the young people kind of go into obsession
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: and back rooms and things like that. People, especially like
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Gen Z and a little older are really going.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: To this film.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: And I think they don't even, they don't need to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: know anything about what it's about. So briefly, it's about,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: remember Elizabeth Holmes?
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: She was the woman who made up the thing about
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: the blood test thing called Thanatos or something, which... Sounds
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: like an Avengers villain, like sounds like Thanos. So but
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: it was a made up thing. So this guy, Nathan Fielder,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: who's who's sort of a like a guy who does
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: like I've never seen his stuff on TV, but people
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: like him. He's sort of like vaguely a documentarian comedian guy.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Moved into her house with her and her boyfriend for
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: like the month before she went to prison. And it
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: has become this sort of phenomenon. It's three hours long.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: At the screening that I saw, I saw it at
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: a regular screening with people. People applauded at the end.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: They were really kind of laughing with it. It's sort
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: of a documentary of discomfort for, and she's really strange
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: in the movie, and then it takes a turn. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: don't want to ruin it for anybody, but it takes
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: an interesting turn when the actress Amanda Seyfried shows up,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: who had played Elizabeth Holmes in a Hulu thing. So
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: it's really kind of shocking to me. It kind of
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: makes me feel good about audiences that they're going to
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: see something really interesting like this, but I really don't
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: know why this has caught on. I think it's about
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: wanting to sort of see somebody like a bug under
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: the glass kind of be a little bit sort of
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: uncomfortable in these strange situations. it is funny at points,
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: but it is a very interesting and strange film to
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: even call it a documentary is a little bit, a
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: little bit off. It is a documentary, but it's not
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: like any, any documentary you've ever seen before. It's a
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: very interesting thing that it's become the, it's going to
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: win Oscars. It's going to, it's, you know, maybe even
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: for Amanda Seyfried, which is very strange to be, to
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: be winning an Oscar for playing somebody in a documentary.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: It's a very strange thing, but A strange phenomenon that
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I think is just sort of interesting about people wanting
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: to go back to the movies this year, right? People
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: are going back for even this.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you didn't like it yourself, huh, Joe?
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: I thought it was okay. I thought it was okay. Look,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: it's no Spider-Man brand new day. Let's put it that way.
• 22:07
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Well, let's go to your choices because it's an opportunity
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: to go out and see these this weekend.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Wild Horses 9.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just one. Just Wild Horse. Wild Horse 9. Guys,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I told you last week, you're going to think Neumeier's
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: had too much coffee. There are two five-star movies opening
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: this week after last week's five-star movie. First one is
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: called Wild Horse 9, and it's with John Malkovich and
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Sam Rockwell, and they play CIA guys in 1973, and
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Malkovich's character is sick, so he kind of wants to
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: have sort of one last sort of Hang out and
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: and and and kind of get his stuff together before
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: before the end. And that's not ruining anything that sort of,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: you know, revealed. And it's it's the two of them
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: are hanging out on Easter Island, which those big giant statues.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: But it's a it's an action movie and it's thoughtful
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: and it's funny and it's made by the filmmaker who
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: did In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths. And he did last
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: he did was the Banshees of Inisharen. It's a really
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: fun movie. And Malkovich could win an Oscar for this
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: for best actor. He's been nominated twice before, most recently
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: for In the Line of Fire back in the 90s.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: So it's a really fun movie and it's and it's
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: a great hangout movie. The second one is I Play Rocky.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Have you guys heard about this?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: No, I play Rocky.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: No.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: It's great. It's a movie about the making of Rocky
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: in the early 70s. It's about Stallone, who was not
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: on board really as anything. He's not an executive producer,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: but this kid named Anthony Ippolito, who oddly enough played
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: the young Al Pacino in a TV thing about the
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: making of The Godfather, is fantastic. He plays the young
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Stallone who's working hard as an actor. He's doing a
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: porn thing at once. He's living on the street, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: he decides to write a movie called Rocky. And he
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: gets it into the hands of some Hollywood producers. And
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: it's about how they will make the movie, but not
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: with him. And he is insisting that he plays Rocky.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And he knows it's his shot. It echoes the actual
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: story of Rocky, of that great Oscar-winning movie of 1976.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: And it's really terrific. Matt Dillon plays his dad. It's
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: a movie about the making of movies. But it's so entertaining.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: And it's terrific.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And it does echo. You see him running up the
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: steps in Philadelphia. You see all the problems they had.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Trying to get this thing going. They said if you
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: go one day over budget. Or one day over schedule.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Or a dollar over budget. We're replacing you with Ryan O'Neill.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Or somebody else.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: And Stallone like.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: It's fantastic. It's so good. It's so funny. And so
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Stallone was like, who was like, you know, eating scraps.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: He was really, you know, he was a nothing to actor.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: And now of course, look who he is. He's a,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: he's a superstar, but this is about that moment in time.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Five stars.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I'm all in. I'm all in. I did it. I,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the first documentary I ever did was a short documentary
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: on the making of Rocky when I was at access Hollywood.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: So all these stories you just told, I know, but man, I,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I am completely all in. How about James Bond? Is
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: there going to be another James Bond movie and who's
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: going to play him?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: There is, and it looks like, I mean, it has
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: not been confirmed yet. It looks like it's going to
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: be this actor named Callum Turner who's got, like, huge ears,
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: and he's 36 years old. Maybe he'll be fine. He's
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: never impressed me in any of the things he did.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: He did a movie called One Night Only earlier this year.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: You know, it has not been officially announced. My problem
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: with all these guys that they've been kind of floating
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: is that they don't feel like Sean Connery or even
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: George Lazenby. Like, they don't feel like guys who can
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: wear a tuxedo. They feel like kids. um and i
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: think that's maybe something about the acting class of of
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: you know 2026 i just think that that this guy
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: callum turner is probably just the least of their of
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: their offers i think the other guys were a little
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: bit better jack loudon was one of them the guy
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: from slow horses but if you're going who callum turner
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: who i mean that's probably to their advantage but i
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: don't think he's a he's a good choice.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Oh so large ears huh large ears you know what
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: that means large ears huh not Come.
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: On, Joe.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Tell me.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Curtis. I don't know.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Large, large. Large ears.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Money pennies?
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Large money pennies?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Large.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I died.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: No, below the navel, pal. Joe, Joe, no, just thinking that.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Like Milton Berle? Exactly. Hey, remember, Milton was the most
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: famous drag queen of all. True, speaking of drag queens. Anyway,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Joe Neumeier, I appreciate that.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: So five-star movies, we're going to hold him to the
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: test as to whether they actually prove at the box
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: office to have earned that status.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Oscar movies never do.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: But fingers crossed on I Play Rocky, guys. Go and
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: see it, honestly. It's the best thing you can do
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: for yourself this week is I Play Rocky.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Five stars. I'd give it 10 if I could. It's fantastic.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I'm in. I'm in. I'm going to see it this weekend.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I'll talk to you about it next week. Thanks a lot, Joe.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Sounds great, guys.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: The fallout, Larry, from the midterms is taking its toll
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: on both the Republican side and the Democratic side. Let
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: me hit the Democratic side first. Chuck Schumer thinks he
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: bought himself a past remaining majority leader.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: He wants that desperately.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Because if he had to run for re-election, he's the
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: most worst rated Democrat in New York. Him and Trump's
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: ratings in New York are equal. That's how bad he is.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Any liberal progressive DSA candidate could beat him in a primary.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: But he's thinking, if I can remain majority leader, then
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden maybe people will think differently of me.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: But the new incoming senators who have been voted in
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: have almost all said, uh-uh, you're out.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: You're out. It's time.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: It's a generational change. Someone else has got to come
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: in and you've got to leave. So he's going to
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: be lobbying all weekend long saying, hey, you owe me.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: You owe me. Yeah, that's exactly what he's going to say.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I've talked to some people that I trust on politics.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: They think he's going to survive and they think he's
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: going to survive because exactly what you just said, we
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: did this for your campaign. We did this for your campaign.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: We did this for your campaign. It's going to be interesting.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: The Republicans have a bigger problem. I mean, you know, they,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Mike Johnson has stepped aside. I don't, I'm not sure
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Thune's going to survive as the minority leader because he
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: was completely ineffective and, Johnson's going to step aside, which
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: I think is wonderful. Thune might be through a fight,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: but Johnson said he's going to step aside. I think
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: it's going to be Jim Jordan that's going to take
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: over as Speaker, mainly because he will be a great
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: spokesperson for the Republican Party, because that job is going
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: to be getting on TV and doing press conferences and
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: ripping the Democratic Party and what they're trying to do.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: The bigger problem the Republicans have, it's not a national problem.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: The bigger problem the Republicans have is in state by
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: state by state by state. And they have to– because
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: they have some great people that are going to be
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: running for president. They don't have a problem with that.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: But in the state after state, they have to completely
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: re-evaluate and rebuild. And they have to go a lot
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: younger than they have before. And that has been their problem,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: the fresh blood. So if they decide we got to
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: find some comers, we got to get a few people
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: that can take on who won in this election, then
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I think they do have a chance because I think
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: people are looking for something fresh and new.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Instead of that midterm convention that proved not to be
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: helpful that Trump had in Texas, what they need is
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: a GOP boot camp for future candidates, where they start
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: educating them from the ground up. These were the mistakes.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: This is what we have to do. We're here to
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: help you, but your social networking has to get a
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: lot better. Your ability to be out there and meet
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and greet people has to get a lot better. No
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: matter how much grief you get, and you are going
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: to get some grief, You have to be able to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: do a pirouette and listen, listen, because then they'll respect you.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Even if they don't vote for you, they'll say, well,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: he's not a bad Republican. And that's really what you
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: have to get to get the independence.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: The independence. That's all going to start. I don't think
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: it started already, but I think after January 1st, what
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: you're going to see is Republicans recruiting people across the country,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: state senators, state assemblymen, younger people, congressmen, that they believe
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: are ready for the next step. And trust me, they're
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: going to be working with them 24-7. They're going to
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: be working with them because they see that as their future.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: They know the mistakes they made, and they're going to
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: try to fix them.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I concur, except I noticed some of the Republicans are
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: no longer referring to DJT.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: They're calling him POTUS.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: They're criticizing him, but they won't yet get to the point.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: It's Trump's fault. It's POTUS's fault. Don't bury him yet.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen many, many presidents in the past
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: make a comeback after a beating like this. Barack Obama
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: is the number one example of this. He took two
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: midterm beatings and came back. And look at what people
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: think about him now. I mean, so I think Donald
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Trump has the political prowess— to try to beat this.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: We've already seen it. We've already seen him reaching across
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: his hand across the aisle. So anyway, the talkback of
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: the morning and winner of the Curtis Lewin, Larry Mendte
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: in the morning t-shirt has his choice for the voice
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: to welcome people into New York City airports.
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: Now, if you wanted to have an iconic voice welcoming
• 32:00
  Speaker 12: people into New York City at the airports, you would
• 32:04
  Speaker 12: reinvent and reinvigorate the voice of the longtime New York
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: Yankee PA announcer Bob Shepard, he could certainly fit the bill.
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: And now with digital technology, we can bring him back
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: to life.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I'll still go with Curtis Lewa. And the winner of
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the Talkback of the Week who wins a C-Crane radio
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: is looking to move on quickly from the blue wave
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: in the midterms. I don't know, guys.
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: I'm sick and tired of hearing about the blue wave.
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: All I'm thinking about is that McRib sandwich. I may
• 32:39
  Speaker 11: just fly to the Netherlands because it's on the regular menu.
• 32:44
  Speaker 11: You don't have to wait for it to come around.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let me remind you that coming up on Mark
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Simone at 9, political strategist Ed Rollins, he's seen elections
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: come and go, and pollster John McLaughlin. I wonder if
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: he's going to admit that all of his polls were wrong.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: I doubt it, because they never do. Listen for the
• 33:06
