Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie yesterday. Natalie Migliore was sampling opinions with
- 0:07Speaker 1: the rebirth redevelopment of the Port Authority that is causing
- 0:11Speaker 1: chaos for New Jersey folks coming in to the Lincoln Tunnel.
- 0:18Speaker 2: And today, you should have seen our own Natalie, producer.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I saw fire and smoke coming out of your nostrils
- 0:27Speaker 1: and your ears because you were so ticked off at
- 0:31Speaker 1: what has now happened as a result of this maybe
- 0:34Speaker 1: years-long redevelopment.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Wait, what is the reason for the— it' s not the backup there.
- 0:41Speaker 3: That's still Gateway, isn't it?
- 0:44Speaker 2: Well, I think it's both now.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Because it's been Gateway for a long time. They haven't
- 0:48Speaker 3: really started.
- 0:48Speaker 2: The other one.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Right.
- 0:50Speaker 4: But so something definitely has changed in the past week
- 0:54Speaker 4: because it's gotten a lot worse.
- 0:55Speaker 3: They just closed down different roads. The one we use,
- 0:59Speaker 3: they go back and forth and back and forth and
- 1:01Speaker 3: back and forth. It's the same construction.
- 1:03Speaker 4: I mean, the Lincoln Tunnel, as we know, was built
- 1:05Speaker 4: a long time ago. It's. The Helix is probably not
- 1:10Speaker 4: the best for the amount of traffic that's coming in.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:13Speaker 2: But we deal.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Now you're going to have two major projects going on
- 1:18Speaker 4: right on the other side of the tunnel. This is insane.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know what you could do.
- 1:26Speaker 3: It's going to get worse because they're going to start
- 1:28Speaker 3: closing down some of the tunnels. That's the next phase
- 1:32Speaker 3: in this. Right now, the phase is in the outside.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Um, and, and so what they do is there's only
- 1:37Speaker 3: two ways when you get out of the tunnel, you
- 1:38Speaker 3: can take a right, you can take a left, right?
- 1:40Speaker 3: That's the only two ways you can go. And they've
- 1:42Speaker 3: been cutting off one at a time. And we like
- 1:46Speaker 3: to go to the left when we get out and
- 1:48Speaker 3: that's cut off. You know what?
- 1:50Speaker 4: I'll go anywhere that doesn't take me 20 minutes at 4.30.
- 1:54Speaker 2: In the morning to get somewhere. No, I'm there at
- 1:58Speaker 2: 4.30 in the morning.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Well, honestly, the traffic, you should not be sitting in traffic,
- 2:05Speaker 4: dead stop traffic, you know, in 4 o'clock in the morning.
- 2:07Speaker 2: Just you shouldn't. I don't know. I don't know, Chris.
- 2:09Speaker 4: I don't know, Larry.
- 2:10Speaker 2: I don't know what anybody's going to do about this.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Probably nothing.
- 2:13Speaker 4: But you know what they could do? Maybe put some
- 2:15Speaker 4: more public transportation from New Jersey coming in.
- 2:18Speaker 2: Which they don't.
- 2:19Speaker 4: I live in northern New Jersey, probably one of the
- 2:21Speaker 4: most populated, densely populated areas in the country. I cannot
- 2:26Speaker 4: take a bus or a train from anywhere near my
- 2:30Speaker 4: house before 5 a.m.
- 2:31Speaker 3: There's a lot of buses just not near your house.
- 2:34Speaker 3: There's something to have against you because when I leave here,
- 2:38Speaker 3: there's a line of buses I can't believe. And they're
- 2:41Speaker 3: all in that single lane on the Helix. All of
- 2:44Speaker 3: them are in that single lane. There must be 50
- 2:46Speaker 3: buses that go all the way back to the turnpike.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Anyway, enough complaining.
- 2:51Speaker 4: If you're coming through the Lincoln Tunnel, just brace yourself.
- 2:54Speaker 2: No, yeah, you're right.
- 2:55Speaker 3: And you got pushed back so far today, you didn't
- 2:58Speaker 3: even miss the discount on congestion pricing. I know.
- 3:01Speaker 4: To really add insult to injury. I usually get in
- 3:04Speaker 4: before 5, so you only pay $ 2.
- 3:05Speaker 3: 25.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Well, that didn't happen this morning. Nine bucks in their
- 3:09Speaker 4: pockets today.
- 3:10Speaker 2: Okay, I'm done.
- 3:11Speaker 3: And the worst thing, let me go on, because the
- 3:14Speaker 3: other problem is, can they get together and decide how
- 3:19Speaker 3: many projects they're going to do at the same time?
- 3:21Speaker 3: Because they're also working on the streets. So then you
- 3:24Speaker 3: can only go one way getting out of the Lincoln tunnel.
- 3:26Speaker 3: They make you go to the right or left. And
- 3:28Speaker 3: then sometimes the streets closed right when you get there
- 3:31Speaker 3: because of another project on the, on the, I had
- 3:34Speaker 3: to go all the way over to the East side
- 3:37Speaker 3: to go around and come back to the station. The
- 3:40Speaker 3: other day because there was two streets closed that early
- 3:43Speaker 3: in the morning. And they seem to only do this
- 3:45Speaker 3: stuff overnight, right? It's not like this. There's a certain
- 3:49Speaker 3: hour when they open things up.
- 3:50Speaker 5: Well, yeah.
- 3:51Speaker 4: Usually after 5 a.m. most of the construction is put
- 3:54Speaker 4: to rest for the night.
- 3:56Speaker 3: So nobody else cares.
- 3:57Speaker 4: But, you know, because they have normal congestion because they
- 4:00Speaker 4: have more people coming in during the daytime. So they
- 4:02Speaker 4: have their own issues. Obviously people coming in now, you know,
- 4:05Speaker 4: it's just starting to build up. You know, it is
- 4:08Speaker 4: not an easy life here in the city.
- 4:09Speaker 2: No, not at all. It is not.
- 4:11Speaker 3: There's always something. It's always something. Now, does this, when
- 4:16Speaker 3: the winter starts, do they stop a lot of these projects?
- 4:19Speaker 3: Probably not.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Probably not because everybody knows what it looks like. There's
- 4:25Speaker 2: no way of.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Clearing it up now.
- 4:27Speaker 2: They have cranes up and holes in the ground. You know,
- 4:32Speaker 2: that's not just going to go away.
- 4:33Speaker 3: They will go away eventually.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Well, eventually. But not this winter, I'm going to say.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Later in this segment, we're going to talk about How
- 4:42Speaker 1: New Jersey drivers are rated the second worst in the nation.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Because we're all stressed out. Let me talk about Donald Trump,
- 4:54Speaker 1: who is in a marathon. You and Larry are preparing
- 4:57Speaker 1: for the New York City Marathon, which 710WOR covers from
- 5:01Speaker 1: beginning to end on Sunday.
- 5:04Speaker 2: That's like four straight hours. No interruptions whatsoever. Okay, when
- 5:07Speaker 2: you say preparing.
- 5:08Speaker 4: We're not preparing to run, just.
- 5:10Speaker 2: So everybody knows that. Oh, you're not running this year?
- 5:12Speaker 2: We're preparing to broadcast. Yeah, me with my knee injuries, sure.
- 5:17Speaker 1: But the president has hit 30 sites in 30 days. Today,
- 5:24Speaker 1: two in Texas for Paxton, who's neck and neck with Tallarico.
- 5:29Speaker 1: He came off the barnstorming tour of Mississippi yesterday, M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-B-I.
- 5:37Speaker 2: And his voice was hoarse.
- 5:40Speaker 1: But he responded as to why, Larry, exactly why his
- 5:46Speaker 1: voice is getting very hoarse.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Yeah, it wasn't because of all the appearances. He was
- 5:51Speaker 3: yelling at some foreign dignitary over tariffs.
- 5:56Speaker 2: I feel great.
- 5:57Speaker 6: I was shouting at people because they were stupid about
- 6:01Speaker 6: something having to do with trade in a country, and
- 6:05Speaker 6: I straightened it out. But I blew my stack at these.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Well, it sounds like there's a follow up there.
- 6:12Speaker 4: But can I ask you about Venezuela?
- 6:13Speaker 2: You suggested what? It sounds like there's a follow up there.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Can I ask you about Venezuela?
- 6:17Speaker 3: You said there was a polyp. That's a big deal
- 6:24Speaker 3: if you get a polyp in your throat. But it's
- 6:26Speaker 3: not a polyp.
- 6:27Speaker 6: No, it's not.
- 6:28Speaker 1: He bruised his throat. And because I've had a lot
- 6:32Speaker 1: of throat issues over the years, anybody. doing talk TV,
- 6:35Speaker 1: talk radio. In fact, remember I said it was Dr.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Lederman to the rescue. I had no voice. 12 midnight.
- 6:43Speaker 1: It was Sunday going into Monday. And then I got
- 6:46Speaker 1: my prescription of prednisone, which is what a lot of
- 6:49Speaker 1: people with voice issues have because they have too much mucus.
- 6:54Speaker 1: It covers the voice box. And that's what causes it.
- 6:57Speaker 1: But the other cause is a bruised throat muscle. And
- 7:01Speaker 1: this is what President Donald Trump has. Now, it's not
- 7:05Speaker 1: like you can have the MD with the black bag.
- 7:07Speaker 1: who follows every president, who has every miracle you can
- 7:11Speaker 1: imagine under the sun, like they did for Joe Biden,
- 7:14Speaker 1: you know, to get him going with the amphetamines.
- 7:16Speaker 3: This is the Dr. Curtis segment. I didn't know you
- 7:19Speaker 3: could diagnose someone from afar. Well, I believe the president
- 7:23Speaker 3: because I've had bruised vocal cords. And a bruised vocal
- 7:27Speaker 3: cord is like any kind of bruise you have on
- 7:29Speaker 3: your body. There is no miracle shot or pill that's
- 7:34Speaker 3: going to resolve that. It requires a little bit of rest,
- 7:37Speaker 3: of which the president has no time. Imagine two major
- 7:41Speaker 3: speaking engagements today in Texas. And as you know, Donald
- 7:45Speaker 3: Trump does not give you the hors d'oeuvres. He gives
- 7:49Speaker 3: you the full entree. 90 minutes is considered a short talk.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Sometimes he goes two hours. But this is not unique.
- 7:58Speaker 1: JFK, in the waning days of his campaign against Nixon,
- 8:02Speaker 1: which was neck and neck, had his black bag doctor
- 8:05Speaker 1: who was giving him all kinds of shots, including amphetamines,
- 8:09Speaker 1: which they claim were B12 shots, the Upper East Side doctor.
- 8:13Speaker 1: And as you know, Bill Clinton always had allergy problems.
- 8:17Speaker 2: He'd lose his voice.
- 8:19Speaker 1: Every antihistamine he takes, Sudafed, everything else. It didn't work
- 8:24Speaker 1: at times, but this is going to be a real
- 8:26Speaker 1: test for the president.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Do you think so? I think he's going to be fine.
- 8:31Speaker 3: He's dealt with this kind of stuff before, you know,
- 8:34Speaker 3: and so... I think if he thought he couldn't do it,
- 8:37Speaker 3: he wouldn't even give the speech. I don't know what
- 8:40Speaker 3: they do with him, and they must do something. I
- 8:42Speaker 3: don't know what treatments he goes through. I don't know
- 8:44Speaker 3: if he gets shots. But, man, the guy has an
- 8:48Speaker 3: immense amount of energy, and every time you think exactly
- 8:52Speaker 3: what you're saying, because he's had voice problems before, every
- 8:55Speaker 3: time you think, well, that guy's got to give it up,
- 8:57Speaker 3: he's got to take a night off, He doesn't, and
- 9:00Speaker 3: he's fine. So there must be some regimen he's on.
- 9:04Speaker 3: There must be something the doctors do to bring him back.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Because I guarantee you, he's going to be speaking later
- 9:11Speaker 3: tonight or later today, and he's going to be just fine.
- 9:14Speaker 2: What do you see?
- 9:15Speaker 1: Now, he has been known to take Sudafed, which a
- 9:18Speaker 1: lot of people take. I forget what the other one is.
- 9:21Speaker 1: People have allergies. My wife has allergies.
- 9:24Speaker 2: I forget. It starts with a C. Same kind of effect.
- 9:27Speaker 1: In a way, it dries up all the mucus and
- 9:31Speaker 1: all the inflammation that you have.
- 9:33Speaker 2: But I will tell you this.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Two in one day for Paxton, who now has to
- 9:39Speaker 1: spend all of his time in rural areas because that
- 9:41Speaker 1: was considered originally a slam dunk. You know, Tallarico has
- 9:45Speaker 1: the urban areas. That's a Democratic vote. And probably the
- 9:48Speaker 1: deciding vote in a neck and neck race in Texas
- 9:51Speaker 1: will be the growing suburbs. But the president has got
- 9:55Speaker 1: to get the MAGA vote up because Abbott, who's running
- 9:58Speaker 1: for governor, also. a neck and neck race unexpected is
- 10:02Speaker 1: not throwing a lifeline to Paxton neither are a lot
- 10:06Speaker 1: of the traditional Republicans Corrin the Bush family so man
- 10:10Speaker 1: this is quite a race and the president is probably
- 10:12Speaker 1: going to be at his MAGA best in Texas.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be quite a race, except it's this.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Telerico's now been sliding the last couple of weeks ever
- 10:20Speaker 3: since he took that time off, and he really has
- 10:22Speaker 3: not regrouped from that. I thought it was desperate that
- 10:26Speaker 3: he was doing that ad, trying to get Paxton to
- 10:29Speaker 3: debate with him, because that's the only shot he has.
- 10:33Speaker 3: I disagree with you. I think this is now Paxton's
- 10:36Speaker 3: to lose, because it's going the wrong way for Telerico.
- 10:42Speaker 3: His poll numbers are just starting to slide and starting
- 10:44Speaker 3: to go the wrong way. So it's bad this time
- 10:48Speaker 3: in a campaign when the poll numbers.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Start to slide. Well, you know, we doubted Telerico the
- 10:52Speaker 1: 12 days he was off the campaign trail for that
- 10:55Speaker 1: super flu. You know who just came down with it?
- 10:59Speaker 1: Tom Jones, he had to cancel his dates, his singing
- 11:02Speaker 1: dates in L.A., San Diego. He's got three coming up
- 11:06Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. He may not be able to do it.
- 11:09Speaker 1: And his reason, the super flu. Yeah, how old's Tom Jones?
- 11:13Speaker 1: The Tallarico super flu.
- 11:14Speaker 2: How old's Tom Jones? What, in his 80s?
- 11:17Speaker 3: Yeah, when you get the flu and you're in your 80s,
- 11:20Speaker 3: that's a lot different than.
- 11:22Speaker 1: When you're in your 40s. I would have held Tom Jones'
- 11:25Speaker 1: hands and taken flu shot. Can you imagine me and
- 11:28Speaker 1: Tom Jones holding hands while he got a flu shot?
- 11:31Speaker 3: When we come back, one of the best characters we've
- 11:35Speaker 3: ever seen on television has died. And a very important
- 11:41Speaker 3: anniversary of someone we all know and love. Plus, a
- 11:45Speaker 3: chance to see comedian John Mulaney at age 25.
- 11:48Speaker 2: The conversation continues.
- 11:51Speaker 3: Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti.
- 11:53Speaker 6: 710WOR.
- 11:56Speaker 1: So there I was, like so many people, watching the
- 11:59Speaker 1: wedding of the rock-reved, all-American, conservative voice of reason from
- 12:02Speaker 1: Franklin Square, Long Island, Sean Hannity, and his lovely bride, Aimsley,
- 12:07Speaker 1: all dressed in white tux and tail, everybody. And who
- 12:12Speaker 1: do I see off to the side, like a real goober?
- 12:16Speaker 1: Dressed in white, busting at the seams. Our own Jimmy Failure,
- 12:20Speaker 1: who was the ring boy for the ceremony.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Come on, Jimmy. Is that the only way you could
- 12:24Speaker 2: get into this ceremony?
- 12:27Speaker 5: Good for you. You stop it. I was actually out
- 12:30Speaker 5: in Napa telling jokes Saturday night. I took my mom
- 12:34Speaker 5: with me to California because she's 75 and she's never
- 12:37Speaker 5: had fentanyl. So, you know, you got this bucket list.
- 12:41Speaker 5: You got to check the items. It's like you got
- 12:43Speaker 5: it now or never.
- 12:44Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
- 12:45Speaker 5: So I missed the royal wedding. I was not there.
- 12:47Speaker 5: And just so you understand, Fox does not have.
- 12:50Speaker 2: Me at any event that has an open bar.
- 12:56Speaker 5: If you notice at the White House Correspondents Dinner, my
- 12:59Speaker 5: show is on the red carpet and not inside the ballroom.
- 13:05Speaker 3: You got into the ballroom after the shooting happened, right?
- 13:09Speaker 3: You hid out in there. Did you eat?
- 13:11Speaker 2: Did you get some drinks while you were hiding? No,
- 13:13Speaker 2: you're going to laugh.
- 13:14Speaker 5: I was in the ballroom as it happened, okay? It's
- 13:18Speaker 5: so crazy. So I was walking up to the front
- 13:21Speaker 5: thinking I was going to be cool and fist bump
- 13:22Speaker 5: the president. Like, oh, look at Jimmy, you know? And
- 13:25Speaker 5: literally halfway to the front of the room.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Everything went down.
- 13:28Speaker 5: So I'm under a table with Kennedy.
- 13:31Speaker 2: Okay.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Eating rolls, chugging wine. And then the shooting happened.
- 13:35Speaker 2: I'm kidding.
- 13:36Speaker 5: No, we were, we are, but it was just crazy. And, uh,
- 13:38Speaker 5: you know, we made it out.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Did you ever get to eat by the way, during
- 13:43Speaker 2: that whole thing?
- 13:44Speaker 3: Okay.
- 13:45Speaker 5: Yes. Because what happened was, is this funny story because
- 13:48Speaker 5: I was the guy hosting the TV show for three hours.
- 13:51Speaker 5: They're obviously, when breaking news like that happens, they throw
- 13:54Speaker 5: me out of the way. They're not going to have
- 13:55Speaker 5: Jimmy making balloon animals in a rhinestone jacket while the
- 13:59Speaker 5: SWAT team's in the Secret Service.
- 14:02Speaker 2: So you're going to laugh.
- 14:03Speaker 5: This might be the fattest.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Thing I've ever done.
- 14:06Speaker 5: In real time, as I see the chaos unfolding in
- 14:09Speaker 5: the ballroom, I'm not even making this up. I room-serviced
- 14:14Speaker 5: to 339, and it got there before everything shut down.
- 14:17Speaker 5: I hit a turkey club. I'm not even kidding. I
- 14:21Speaker 5: wish I was lying. We had this app. It's like
- 14:26Speaker 5: a valet parking app where if you text your code,
- 14:28Speaker 5: it just brings you stuff. I ordered a turkey club
- 14:31Speaker 5: and fries and got to my room and ate it
- 14:33Speaker 5: and watched my own TV show. Like I said, Fox
- 14:35Speaker 5: News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fallon, but I wasn't on it.
- 14:38Speaker 5: It was amazing.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Now, speaking of eating. You have this thing going on
- 14:43Speaker 1: with our producer, Natalie. Nothing on the hush-hush down low,
- 14:48Speaker 1: but she tends to text you pictures of loaves of
- 14:53Speaker 1: Italian bread, and I don't know.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Do you get off on.
- 14:58Speaker 6: That, Jimmy?
- 14:59Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no.
- 15:00Speaker 5: Innocent.
- 15:01Speaker 6: Right, Jimmy?
- 15:02Speaker 5: No, but Natalie has sent me so many of these
- 15:05Speaker 5: six-inch loaves, I feel like Anthony Weiner is back on Twitter.
- 15:09Speaker 2: It's crazy. Sailing in. Well, I'm going to see Jimmy
- 15:14Speaker 2: tomorrow night, so I'm excited.
- 15:16Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Tomorrow night. Sold out crowd. What can people expect that
- 15:20Speaker 2: are going to be there tomorrow night? Well, I mean,
- 15:23Speaker 2: you're going to see me. I always say my natural habitat.
- 15:26Speaker 2: This is where I started.
- 15:27Speaker 5: You know, when you first start to.
- 15:28Speaker 2: Instead of comedy, you're doing open.
- 15:30Speaker 5: Open mics like opium dens on the Lower East Side.
- 15:33Speaker 5: And then you actually do play Italian restaurants because they'll
- 15:36Speaker 5: have like a comedy night.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Families come down. They like to laugh.
- 15:39Speaker 5: So you're seeing, like, for real, this is like a
- 15:41Speaker 5: 2001 Jimmy Fallon, but I'm not going to have the
- 15:44Speaker 5: bleach blonde hair this time.
- 15:45Speaker 2: Got to rein it in a little.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Bit for TV.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Disappointing.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Disappointing.
- 15:48Speaker 4: Rhinestone jacket, I hope, though.
- 15:52Speaker 5: You never know.
- 15:52Speaker 2: You never know.
- 15:53Speaker 5: But I'm psyched for the gig because I love doing
- 15:56Speaker 5: comedy in Jersey specifically because Jersey.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Never lost the edge.
- 16:00Speaker 5: You know, there's something about waiting two hours to cross
- 16:03Speaker 5: a bridge that charges.
- 16:04Speaker 2: You $ 30.
- 16:05Speaker 5: That, you know, kind of keeps your priorities in order.
- 16:08Speaker 3: That's right.
- 16:09Speaker 5: Jersey crowds are the best crowds. So you will watch, like,
- 16:11Speaker 5: the most aggressive version of my set there is.
- 16:14Speaker 2: And I like that. It's, like, exciting for me. Now,
- 16:16Speaker 2: we talked earlier, Jimmy.
- 16:18Speaker 1: Hopefully you were listening and you weren't in a drug-induced
- 16:21Speaker 1: psychosis sleep.
- 16:23Speaker 2: But we were.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Talking of how New Jersey drivers are rated the second
- 16:27Speaker 1: worst in the nation. You've been all over the nation touring,
- 16:31Speaker 1: doing your stand-up. North Dakota first. New Jersey second. Now,
- 16:36Speaker 1: you've crisscrossed the Garden State to Turnpike, Garden State Parkway.
- 16:41Speaker 2: How do you weigh in on this, Jimmy?
- 16:46Speaker 5: Well, there's a thing, okay? In North Dakota, you've got
- 16:49Speaker 5: to understand, they're driving horses.
- 16:51Speaker 2: So I don't think that counts.
- 16:53Speaker 5: You know what I mean? We've got motorized vehicles back
- 16:58Speaker 5: here on the East Coast, and I think it's a
- 16:59Speaker 5: totally different experience.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Pound for pound is the thing.
- 17:02Speaker 5: I think Jersey are the most aggressive drivers in America, okay,
- 17:06Speaker 5: because it really is the only state where you signal
- 17:09Speaker 5: after you've already made it into the next lane.
- 17:11Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
- 17:12Speaker 3: That's right.
- 17:13Speaker 2: What is that signal again?
- 17:15Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't signal to let them know you're coming over.
- 17:18Speaker 5: You signal to let them know you made it, you know?
- 17:20Speaker 2: That's the funniest thing in the world.
- 17:24Speaker 5: I'll talk about that a little, but I consider Jersey
- 17:26Speaker 5: the most aggressive, but in my experience, I'm not kidding.
- 17:28Speaker 5: I think Florida and California are the worst because there's
- 17:32Speaker 5: no consistency. Like in California, the far right lane is
- 17:37Speaker 5: often the fastest lane because there's a guy in the
- 17:40Speaker 5: left lane who can't speak English or read the road
- 17:42Speaker 5: signs that Gavin Newsom gave a trucker's license to, and
- 17:46Speaker 5: everybody's just trying to stay the hell out of there.
- 17:49Speaker 3: I'm just shocked that there's something called a far right
- 17:51Speaker 3: lane in California. That was a surprise to me. Hey, listen,
- 17:56Speaker 3: tomorrow night you're appearing and you're doing some standup, Kuchina Kalandra.
- 18:02Speaker 3: I look at Donald Trump when he's on this tour.
- 18:05Speaker 3: And by the way, he's doing seven shows in six nights.
- 18:08Speaker 3: That's what comics do. Seven shows in six nights. And
- 18:12Speaker 3: he goes on for 90 minutes. When you see him,
- 18:14Speaker 3: do you think to yourself, he'd be a great standup?
- 18:19Speaker 2: I think he'd be a good emcee.
- 18:21Speaker 5: An emcee is the guy who comes on and just
- 18:23Speaker 5: picks on the crowd for 10 minutes before the comic
- 18:25Speaker 5: comes out. Because those are all of his best moments.
- 18:28Speaker 5: It's like he's a crowd work comedian, you know, and
- 18:32Speaker 5: that's what you'd like him to do because he juice
- 18:33Speaker 5: up the room. He comes on, he calls somebody fake news,
- 18:37Speaker 5: checks out this guy's butt. I was so happy to
- 18:43Speaker 5: get Nicki Minaj on stage because Trump is killing me.
- 18:46Speaker 5: Because all I want to do is tell jokes about
- 18:48Speaker 5: James Tallarico being in the closet. But every time they
- 18:51Speaker 5: throw Trump a microphone, he checks out another guy's ass.
- 18:56Speaker 5: I can't do the Tallarico stuff if you're going to
- 18:59Speaker 5: keep doing this.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Well, anyway, Jimmy, don't fail me now, failure. You go
- 19:07Speaker 1: to sleep with Jimmy in any which way you choose.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Monday through Friday from 9 to 12 here on WOR710,
- 19:14Speaker 1: the most listened-to talk station in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
- 19:20Speaker 1: and Pennsylvania.
- 19:21Speaker 2: And then you wake up with Larry and me in
- 19:23Speaker 2: the morning. What a one-two combination there, huh?
- 19:27Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 19:28Speaker 5: It's a one-two. You know, the people who go to
- 19:30Speaker 5: bed with me, okay? Just to be clear, okay, this
- 19:34Speaker 5: is not one of those, like, you know, we do
- 19:37Speaker 5: a lively show, but Curtis always promotes my show like
- 19:40Speaker 5: it's the Bill Cosby bartending school. I'm just knocking these
- 19:44Speaker 5: people out.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Have a great time tomorrow night. I'm sure it's going
- 19:48Speaker 3: to be wonderful. Can't wait to hear it.
- 19:50Speaker 2: About it. Thanks a lot, Jim.
- 19:51Speaker 5: Red picks for everybody.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Love you.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Take care.
- 19:53Speaker 5: That's right.
- 19:55Speaker 2: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning. The conversation
- 19:59Speaker 2: continues on 710WOR.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Who knew of all the things that you can say
- 20:07Speaker 3: about Donald Trump and have been said about Donald Trump,
- 20:09Speaker 3: that he's a Nazi, that he's Hitler, that he's not
- 20:12Speaker 3: very bright, all these things that are said about him
- 20:15Speaker 3: roll off his shoulders. He doesn't care about any of that.
- 20:18Speaker 3: But for some reason, when Barack Obama in Michigan was
- 20:23Speaker 3: at a campaign rally and said this, it bugged him.
- 20:27Speaker 3: What's up with the gold?
- 20:33Speaker 1: I mean, he's got the White House looking like Saddam
- 20:36Speaker 1: Hussein opened a cheesecake factory.
- 20:39Speaker 5: It's just gold everywhere.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Now, I can't play everything Donald Trump said because he
- 20:46Speaker 3: went on and on about it yesterday. Yes, he was
- 20:49Speaker 3: asked about it, but in most questions, he gives a
- 20:52Speaker 3: 30-second answer. This one, he just kept talking about it.
- 20:57Speaker 3: It is extremely important to him, apparently, that he fix
- 21:01Speaker 3: up the White House and he makes the White House
- 21:04Speaker 3: look great. He says that Barack Obama ignored the White
- 21:08Speaker 3: House and watched that it was falling apart and did nothing.
- 21:12Speaker 6: We have to explain to Obama that the White House
- 21:14Speaker 6: is a symbol of America. And it has to be
- 21:17Speaker 6: maintained properly. It has to be painted. And the exterior
- 21:21Speaker 6: plaster can't be falling off the walls. And the decorations
- 21:25Speaker 6: and ornaments around the windows that are magnificent can't be
- 21:29Speaker 6: on one side of the window and fallen off on
- 21:31Speaker 6: the other side. It has to be clean. The columns
- 21:35Speaker 6: can't be broken. The bricks can't be falling off from
- 21:39Speaker 6: under the plaster. For you to say it's a cheesecake factory,
- 21:45Speaker 6: that just shows why you're a lousy president.
- 21:48Speaker 3: Yeah, and that went on for a long time. I'll
- 21:51Speaker 3: play one last thing, because the best reaction was from
- 21:55Speaker 3: the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson, who went to a cheesecake factory,
- 22:01Speaker 3: and reporters were waiting for him when he got back out.
- 22:04Speaker 3: This is the man who built the museum.
- 22:07Speaker 2: It looks like Darth Vader's tomb. And I would just
- 22:11Speaker 2: tell the, I.
- 22:11Speaker 3: Eat a great meal, always have a great meal, and
- 22:14Speaker 3: I would tell the Martha's Vineyard set to give it
- 22:17Speaker 3: a try. Ah, Obama's elitist for putting down Cheesecake Factory
- 22:23Speaker 3: is what Scott Besson is saying, that he eats at
- 22:27Speaker 3: Cheesecake Factories all the time, according to him.
- 22:30Speaker 1: What this is, is these are the two superstars of
- 22:35Speaker 1: both opposing parties. If you had a dream presidential campaign,
- 22:41Speaker 1: they used to do this facsimile. They would recreate the
- 22:45Speaker 1: two greatest heavyweights of all time, Muhammad Ali, and you
- 22:49Speaker 1: had undefeated Marciano.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Fighting one another. He actually packed the theaters.
- 22:57Speaker 1: It never occurred, but this is what people wanted to see.
- 22:59Speaker 1: And if people had their druthers, they'd want to see
- 23:04Speaker 1: Barack Obama running against Donald Trump because at times they're
- 23:08Speaker 1: like two scorpions in a brandy glass. You can see
- 23:11Speaker 1: they really don't like one another. And then they surprise you.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Remember at Jimmy Carter's funeral mass in Washington? They're sitting
- 23:19Speaker 1: down there. They're having a good old time right before
- 23:21Speaker 1: it started. You know, people are saying, wow, these guys
- 23:23Speaker 1: really get together. Meantime, if you notice, Michelle was, like,
- 23:28Speaker 1: not wanting to talk to anybody. The gal said, no, Melania,
- 23:32Speaker 1: not talking to anybody. Remember Hillary? Hillary with the death
- 23:36Speaker 1: stare when she looked at him. But you see, this
- 23:39Speaker 1: is what politics is about. You know Barack Obama misses
- 23:43Speaker 1: being in the ring. And he's good at it. And
- 23:45Speaker 1: obviously Donald Trump is good at it. And they can pirouette.
- 23:50Speaker 2: And I think.
- 23:50Speaker 1: Barack Obama's strategy here is... Distract him. My job is
- 23:55Speaker 1: to try to distract him to talk about other issues
- 23:59Speaker 1: than the issues that he was really there to talk
- 24:01Speaker 1: about to begin with, because he knows I get under
- 24:03Speaker 1: his skin.
- 24:04Speaker 2: And vice versa. They get under each other's skin.
- 24:06Speaker 3: If that was planned, it worked because he did. He
- 24:09Speaker 3: went and he was very serious talking about everything he
- 24:13Speaker 3: saw and everything he fixed and everything he did. I'm
- 24:16Speaker 3: telling you, we can't play it here because it goes
- 24:18Speaker 3: on forever. But it's worth watching because it tells you
- 24:21Speaker 3: a lot about the guy. I will say I'll give
- 24:24Speaker 3: one addendum, one change to your heavyweight fight. As much
- 24:27Speaker 3: as I love Donald Trump, if I was going to
- 24:29Speaker 3: have the two best campaigners, it would be Barack Obama
- 24:33Speaker 3: versus Ronald Reagan.
- 24:35Speaker 1: No.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Oh, my God. He's the best.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Yeah, but he can't keep up with the pace now.
- 24:41Speaker 1: The pace now is a lot different. You know, it's pirouette.
- 24:44Speaker 1: It's shift. Obama and Trump are the best. Reagan set
- 24:48Speaker 1: the pace. He didn't have to keep up with the pace.
- 24:51Speaker 1: On every debate, he set the pace, and he had
- 24:53Speaker 1: the line of the debate.
- 24:55Speaker 3: I don't know. I'll take Ronald Reagan every single day
- 24:58Speaker 3: of the year.
- 24:59Speaker 2: The other thing, remember, Nobel Peace Prize, Trump is still grumbling.
- 25:02Speaker 1: He didn't get it. He's attacking Norway. Meantime, Barack Obama
- 25:06Speaker 1: got one that he didn't deserve. So here it is.
- 25:09Speaker 1: You had two presidents, one who said, I want my
- 25:13Speaker 1: Nobel Peace Prize. I don't want to hand me down
- 25:15Speaker 1: from Maria Corina Machado that I got.
- 25:18Speaker 2: And then there's Barack Obama.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Who got a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, and
- 25:23Speaker 1: right at the start of his administration, a seven-month war
- 25:26Speaker 1: against Libya. Man, these guys have so much in common.
- 25:31Speaker 1: His library is a cheesecake factory in the south side
- 25:34Speaker 1: of Chicago, and he's accusing Donald Trump of turning the
- 25:37Speaker 1: White House into a cheesecake factory.
- 25:39Speaker 2: These guys, people would pay to watch them debate.
