• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: What's on your mind today?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Nothing but it's Friday, so there's not much coasting.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I'm always going, oh, man, this guy is like, you're
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: so bland. If we had to depend on you, we'd
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: all have to go out and get jobs hanging wallpaper.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Do you realize you're devoid of any personality?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm aware. It's been like that my whole life.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: I'm aware.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: You're okay with it, right?
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Eh.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what am I going to do?
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: I'm 29.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I can't really change it. Oh, yes, you can.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Grab hold of your life. Make some major changes. Come on,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: let's start right now.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: So go ahead. Tell us what you think is the
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: biggest issue in the country right now.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Throw me on the spot. I think I'll pass on
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Look at that, see?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: And you're involved in talk radio. Did you ever hear that?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I'll take a pass on that. Boy, you're like Dr.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Fauci.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: You take the Fifth Amendment on everything.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: But anyway, Larry, you know what took place yesterday.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, the lead story of almost every local newscast
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: was the passage of the bill that eliminates the horse
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: carriage industry in 2028.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Now, the opposition, John Samuelson of.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: TWU, local 100, you know, we're still going to federal court.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, windbag. But it's pretty much a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: fait accompli.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And I know there was a lot of interest in
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: terms of how I would be treated.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: But I'm not telling you right now.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I'm going to keep you all wondering.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I was watching the local newscast just to see you.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Because you said yesterday, if they don't treat me well,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make a ruckus. Yes. Like if they
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: don't acknowledge you and if they don't let you inside,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: you're going to make a ruckus. I love that word,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: by the way, ruckus. And so I was looking on
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: television for the ruckus. I'm thinking to myself, oh, my God,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: this is going to be great.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And, you know, I always deliver on those kind of promises.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: I know, and I don't want to give away too much,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: but apparently you didn't have to.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Well, let's just tell you that my wife was with me, Nancy,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: because obviously she's involved in animal welfare and protecting the horses,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: free the horses. And she said to me at the start,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you know, Curtis, I've been with you at a lot
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of events. I've never seen you more mistreated. And that's
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: saying a lot in 10 years of our relationship.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Wow. It was not a good start.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: But, you know, right now, I'm not going to talk
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: about it because there is something that is more of
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a disgracia and a shanda than even this. In my household,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: in so many households, Friday was pizza day. You know,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: whether your mom or dad got a frozen pizza or
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you went to a local mom and pop pizzeria, now
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: they have all these cardboard cutouts You know, franchise pizzas, which, well,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I guess if you're going to do it, you're going
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to do it. But it always was a tradition. Friday
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: was the big pizza day. And one thing I felt,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: there was a recent poll, and normally when they do
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: polls about pizzerias and even like Portnoy has one of his–
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: attributes as he goes around testing pizzas at pizzerias.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: People love it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he can make or break a place.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's my favorite food. So I'm looking at this
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: recent list. Okay, they have New York City first.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Jersey second.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: And then I said, well, where's Connecticut?
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: 16th.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm saying to myself, what? And I'm looking, Texas, Missouri, Oregon,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: you don't go there for pizza. We're rated ahead of them.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: 16th.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Now, for many of our listeners, they know when you
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: cross over from the New York State border, as I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: have many times going in in Connecticut, right along I-95.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Entering Greenwich, you know, very trendy Greenwich from New York.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: There's a big sign that says, welcome to Connecticut, home
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of the pizza capital of the USA. And likewise on
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I-84 when you're entering Danbury from New York.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: They've earned that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they have that. They have that ultra thin coal
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: or brick. oven pizza. Yes. That, what do they call it?
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: There's a name for it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: A pizza. Napolitano.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: A beets. A beets, yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you for the, here's a German-Irish guy
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: correcting me. That is the correct pronunciation. Thank you for that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: But if you've ever been to Little Italy in New Haven,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it's right before you hit the interstate, there is a place,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Worcester Street, in Worcester Square, They got like the three
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: pillars of some of the best pizza in the world.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And I've had it all over the world, especially in
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Italy itself. And I mean, they're not even rated Connecticut.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: There's Frank Pepe's Pizzeria Napolitano.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: There's Sally's. What is that? You say a pizza?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: A beets.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: A beets.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: And modern.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: A beets.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Those are just three of the many. Connecticut is rated 16th.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: So I said, who did this survey? Because, you know,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: these are like polls. There were these instant pop-up surveys.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: A survey by Maine Lobster. Now, I understand that maybe
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Platner needs new work. You know, the oyster guy who
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: got washed out in the Senate race.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: You know, lobsters.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: What the hell would you have a site called Maine
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Lobster rating pizzerias and All throughout the country, from California
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to New York, from Texas, right on up to Maine.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Where was New Jersey on the list?
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Two.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Number two.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Which I accept, too. Absolutely. New York City.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: But always, and look, I'm the New York guy. You know,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: my favorite, I just did a barstool thing just on
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: food in the tri-state area. Stromboli's on First Avenue in St. Mark's,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: owned by the Albanians. Albanians, Montenegrins own most of the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: pizzerias now. I lived on that for a year in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the 80s. And then there's, you got to be careful
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: here because it's, the pizzeria has competition. They all have competitions.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: There's like battles all the time. The original pizza on
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Avenue L. This is another original pizza on Ralph Avenue.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Not the same. And today, my number three, New Park Pizzeria,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: which was the victim of pizza war, a van went
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: right through this side on Cross Bay Boulevard. They're reopening today.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: That's part of the pizza wars. They go to war
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: against one another.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I love New Jersey pizza. There's a place in Edgewater
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: called Al's Sourdough Pizza. Oh, my God. It was the
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: best pizza I ever had. I love sourdough bread, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: I love sourdough. So, man, was that good. But I
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: have been to about four or five pizza places in
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: New Jersey that I would put in the top ten
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: of any list in the country.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, especially along the shore. You find out
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of those pizzerias originally were in Newark. You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: North Ward, Newark, Bloomfield Avenue, St. Lucie's, the Italian section,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and actually as their client's. move to the Jersey Shore.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: They move their business to the Jersey Shore. The one
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that's famous is Raza.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Raza in Jersey City. That's the one they talk about nationally. Look,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I love the pizza in New Jersey. I've never had
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: a bad slice there.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: In New Jersey.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: But not to have I mean, Connecticut and especially the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: little Italy there on Worcester Square, Worcester Street.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's incredible, the pizza there.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I agree. I've never had pizza in Connecticut. I've been
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: to Connecticut several times. I've just never had pizza there.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: But I've heard people rave about it. And by the way,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: on some lists, it was number one. So to be
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: number 16 is kind of ridiculous.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, come on.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Behind Wyoming, Idaho, you know, places that don't even know
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: what pizza is. But. How can people weigh in on
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: this fact of life here, which for many of us
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: is very important, Pizza Day on Friday?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: I would imagine everybody has a favorite pizza. And there's
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: probably some places that are incredible that we don't know about.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: So we'd love to hear from you. Go to the
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback. You could win
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: a Curtis Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: That is going to be awarded each day to our
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: favorite talkback of the morning. And while you're on the
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: free iHeartRadio app, this is really important. Be sure to
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: set a preset for 710WOR. It makes it easier for
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: you in the future. And don't forget, and today is
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the day, the best talk back of the week takes
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: home a C-Crane radio.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Now let me teach you a trick. You're paying attention, Chris.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: You're taking notes. You can do this at any local
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: mom and pop pizzeria. Friday is your busiest day. They
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: usually have some young Italian stallion, or they even have
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Mexicans now. It took me a while to get used
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: to Mexicans making pizza, but they're not too bad. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they're twirling it up, and all the girls are looking.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: So I walk in Friday about 5, 6 o'clock. You know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: that's when they're busiest. And I said, hey, Salvin Jens,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: do me a favor. I got no time here. Just
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: take that sliced pizza. You know, they keep it in
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: trays underneath because they just use it. I don't want
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: you to warm it up in the oven. Here's 20
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: for the pie, and I'll give you another 10 because
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you're going out of your way for me.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Just put it in the box. I got to go. Sorry, Mr. Sliwa,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I can't do that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: What do you mean?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I'm a good customer. You see me from time to time.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I know, Mr.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Sliwa, but I can't do that. What do you mean
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: you can't do it? Just take the sliced pie. You
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: don't even have to heat it up. Here's 20 for
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the pie, 10 for you.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Put it in the box. I got to go.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Can't do that. And you know why, Chris and Larry?
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Because for years they used technology. They told us you
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: get more value with a box pie. You know, they'll
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: make a whole pie for you, put it in the box. Hey,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: you get more value than the slice. Turns out the
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: slice pie is bigger. So if they were to take
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the slice pie and put it in the box, they
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: can't close the box because it's flapping over on the sides.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: So I got to tell you, whether they're Montenegrins, they're Albanians,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: or they're crazed Italians, you know, like Mr. Bacigalup from
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: the old Abbott and Costello show, they go nuts on me.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: They say, why are you giving away our trade secrets?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Now they have those boxes that are fit for slices.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Have you seen them? They had little boxes that are triangles.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Thanks for agreeing, Chris. That was very good.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I've never seen them before.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: That was excellent.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Appreciate it. That's amazing, Chris. I'm actually waiting
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: He said, uh-huh, which was wonderful.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, my wife, Nancy, all Polish, right,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: to get through Stony Brook because she didn't come from
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: a family of wealth. She had to make 400 pizzas
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: a day for the kids. Oh, that's wonderful. But remember,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: starting out overnight, you got to put the yeast in,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the dough's got to raise, you got to pound it,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: you got to throw it in the air. Naturally, you
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: got all kinds of baking paraphernalia all over you. 400
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: a day and you're all Polish and you know how
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: to make pizza.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, when we come back, you know
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: how there's some actors that never get the starring roles,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: but you know them and you love them. And every
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: time you see them, you go, he's good. Well, one
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: of them died. Tom Skerritt, an incredible actor. If the
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: name doesn't jump out to you, we'll go through some
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: of his roles and you're going to know who he is.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that. Plus, You got a chance to
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: see Journey at 825.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty in the morning. The conversation continues.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: On 710WOR.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Still on the line right now, our colleague Rob Astorino.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: You hear him here at 710WOR every Saturday from 5
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: to 6. Rob, let's discuss Blakeman Hochul. New poll, Kornipiak
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: says he's 14 points behind. uh, Zeldin was like, uh,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: six points behind at the same period. I don't buy it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I've looked at both campaigns.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I think Blakeman has run a much better campaign than
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I saw Zeldin run. What's been your reaction, uh, to
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: these recent polls that claim he's losing in double digits?
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean, it's typical. It's typical for polling
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: in New York.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: It's typical for these college polls. It's, you know, at
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: this point I'd, I think Blakeman is in a great
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: spot right now, honestly. And he's coming on my show
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: tomorrow from 4 to 5 p.m.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Pardon.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Pardon.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: If you listen at 5 to 6, you're going to
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: hear some doctor talking about cancer.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So, no, no, no.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Honestly, Blakeman is in a really good spot. And so
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: is Saritha Kamachareti. This is where you want to be
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: going into early voting, which starts tomorrow. And they're within
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: striking distance. You look at the weakness of Hochul in
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: so many parts of this state, and the issues are
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: all on Blakeman's side. I mean, watching that debate, she
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: was just like, she was like a sophomore in high
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: school trying to be on a debate team. It was pathetic.
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: And she couldn't, she had no answers. She still has
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: no answers for anything other than just scream Trump.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: That's in the back of her head.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: Just like every Democrat now. When you're challenged and you
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: can't win on anything, just scream Trump. And I don't
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: know how far that's going to be. You know, how
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: about we get them? But she's a Democrat in a
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: blue state, so she's obviously winning. But my advice to
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: anyone running right now is, especially a Republican, and Bruce
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: knows this, you're never going to lead in the polls
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: until the polls actually close and you could win on
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: election night. That's it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tremendous advice. And I agree with you, the debate,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: she was awful. And her answer on energy when she
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: was blaming Trump For all of the raises and the
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: energy prices was embarrassing, I thought. As you go across
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: the country right now, I'm starting to feel a little
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: bit better. I asked you to talk me off the
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: ledge before, and I'm squarely off the ledge, and I
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: didn't fall. Because I have a feeling that the House
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: is going to go. I hope it doesn't, but I
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: have a feeling the House is going to go. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: think the Republicans are going to win the Senate, and
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: not only by a couple, by two or three.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Look, I feel the same way. I was with Ken
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Paxton on Monday in Dallas. They're feeling much better. The
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: early voting is very heavy in some of these states,
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: but they're feeling much better where they are. The biggest
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: question is the rural vote. Is the rural vote in
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: a lot of these states going to come out in
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: the numbers that they typically do? Because they're the ones
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: that are dealing with the diesel prices for farming and
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: all those kind of issues. Are they really willing to
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: sit it out or to cross over for a Democrat
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: that they know, I mean, philosophically, ideologically, they can't stand,
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: that they know will be really.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Worse for them?
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Or do they kind of hold their nose or they
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: feel patriotic and stick with their party? That's probably what
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: will happen. I was in Kansas, too, and I saw
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: the debate with Senator Marshall. I don't think he did great.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: He's up against this guy, Adam Hamilton, who is a
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: pastor there. comes across very well. He's actually getting some
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: stupid jerk rhino Republicans to support him. But I, again,
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: think gravity is going to be gravity. And in these
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Republican states, in the end, Republicans are going to end
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: up winning. So I'm with you, Larry. I'm looking over
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: the edge, but I don't think.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: We're going to take.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: It.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Right in your backyard is the Mike Lawler, Kate Connolly race.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I've probably seen more ads... nonstop on my thread, television,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you name it. They've got to have the most ads
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen on television for a local congressional race.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: It appears it's neck and neck if you follow the polls.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: What's your sense? Because that's right in your backyard.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I think it is neck and neck. And
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: it's just because there are more Democrats in this area too.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: And they are fired up. But I still, the thing
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: that gets me hopeful is, Curtis is I still talk
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: to Democrats in the area and the ones who have
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: kind of supported Lawler in the past and they're still
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: with him. And that to me is a very good
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: sign that they haven't broken away. And, you know, he's
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: working very hard. I mean, look, you and I don't
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: see it all the time because I'm not watching CNN
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: too often or MSNL, but he'll go on those stations
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: and he'll He'll deal with their nonsense because that's how
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: he reaches other people. So he's very good with that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: And I think that that's you know, this is when
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: it translates or you hope it does when when the
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: voting actually starts. So, I mean, look, that's just going
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: to be a neck and neck race. And I do
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: think he'll win. I mean, he's had the resources. Thank
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: God he's had the messaging. And, you know, I'll be
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I'll actually be with all of them on. Sunday morning,
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: there's going to be a big rally in Yorktown. Blakeman's
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: going to be there, Lawler and all of them. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: I'm going to actually be there. I think I'm emceeing
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: the event. So that's going to be fun. And look,
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: this is when.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: It starts to get a little chilly. It's a little
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: chilly this morning.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: That means we're about to vote.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Lawler's going to win too. I think
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the Tom Kane Jr. seat is gone though. Rebecca Campbell
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: turned out to be a really good candidate. I do
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: want to ask you if you've seen the new Kamala Harris.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: She's come out with a brand new way of speaking
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: completely as if some consultant said to her, they're making
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: fun of you. You've got to change the way you speak.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: And she's slowed down. She's speaking in shorter sentences. Have
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: you seen it online at all?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I haven't, but.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: You know, every week there's a new Kamala Harris. Anyway,
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: so that's this week's version, I guess. I mean, was
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: she sloshing her words? Was she drunk already or no?
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: No, she seemed okay. It seemed to be working. If
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: she actually stopped and thought about what she was going
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: to say, and that seems to be what they told
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: her to do. You know, don't just spit out the
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: first word that comes into your mind. She's slowed down.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: She's more deliberate. She's a little bit more boring, which
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: is amazing because I thought she was boring before. But
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: she's absolutely trying out a brand new way of speaking.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: It ain't going to work. Because you know what? When
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: you have to think about that and get trained, you
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: always fall.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Back to you.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: And that's what's going to be with her. She's just
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: going to be a human word salad from here to
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: the day she dies. And that laugh is never going
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: to change. I pray to God every day. I light candles.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: I do rosaries that she is their nominee again.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Please, God.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Are you listening, God?
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Please. be the nominee for the democrats.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: You might get your wish rob astorino host of the
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: rob astorino show on wor saturdays i heard it's from

• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Thanks, guys.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: The conversation continues.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Curtis Lewa and Larry Minty.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: 710WOR. Well, well.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: It's Joe Neumeier on the line, our movie guy. And Joe,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: don't give me the excuse that the dog ate your homework.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: A while back, I said, hey, Mr.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Movie Reviewer, a lot of attention to this must documentary.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: In fact, wow, the Academy Award winning director, Alex.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Gibney, four hours.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I even said you could bifurcate it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: You know, look at an hour each time. And, you know,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you did Bupkis, right? Come on, Joe.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: You know, Curtis, it meant so much to me and
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: it was so important to me that I put it
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: off until very late last night. And I know you
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: gave me the assignment a couple of weeks ago, but
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: I saw all four hours and I'm going to talk
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: about every minute of it right now.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: He's born a poor child.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: So, yes, I did watch all four hours.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't think I learned much about the
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: guy that I didn't really know before, except it's a
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: little deeper, a little creepier. He thinks we're all living
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: in a video game simulation. Sadly, not Donkey Kong or
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: Pac-Man or one of the fun ones. He seems, you know,
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: as nuts as you sort of think he is. He's
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: in the news today. I don't know if anything needs
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: to be four hours. I mean, he's not Lawrence of Arabia,
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: so I don't really think he needs four hours, but
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: figure this clown out. It does have an intermission, like
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: Lawrence of Arabia. So if you want to, you want
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: to sit and watch it. It's in theaters now. It'll
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: be streaming on Amazon in a couple of weeks. I'm
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: not sure when.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: You can pre-order it. But it's, you know, it does
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: have an intermission. I don't know.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: I don't think it really tells you much. I think
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: that it kind of goes into depth a little bit.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: And you're sort of like, oh, you.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Know, he is as weird.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: How many stars would you give it?
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: I would give it two, but I also think that
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: it could have gotten, if it was two hours, it
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: really could be 90 minutes. But if it had been two,
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: Alex Gibney goes in depth on these things, and he's
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: a good documentarian. But I really don't think you need
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: all of the levels that it goes to. And I
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: don't care listening to his ex-girlfriends, his baby mamas.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Talk about his kids.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't need that.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: How often were you cursing Curtis as you were watching it?
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Well, I do that anyway, but I was like, ah.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Now, while you were.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I did that while I was watching Clayface.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Now, Joe, while you were talking, your voice was frazzled
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: for a second. Are you sure that wasn't Starlink interfering
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: with your communication because.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: You dare even.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: I think it might... there you go.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: See, he's messing up with our stuff already. He knows
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: when people are good because we're living.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: In a simulation.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: He actually thinks this, this was something I didn't know,
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: which is that he does think that the simulation we're
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: living in, I hope I don't, I don't fuzz out
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: now because this is important is created by future people,
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: creating a simulation that we're all living in based on
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: stuff from the, from humanity's past. So he's not just
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: sort of thinking it's like the matrix or something. He's
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: really thought this out. So he's really got it figured out.
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: So he thinks that it's from the future people, uh,
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: are creating the simulation we're all living in, which I
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: don't know, maybe that explains why.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely watching it now.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: He totally is. And they do talk to that. You
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: know what?
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: The one thing I'll say, they talked to his dad
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: and you, you know how you can really kind of
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: figure people out when you talk to their parents, when
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: his dad comes on, you go, Oh, I get it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Okay. Like the, The nutsy runs deep. And so.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: You'll see it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Nutsy, but also, yeah, you give him some credit. The
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: guy's a genius. I mean, the things that he's been
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: able to create. Yes. Yes. He's a little odd, but still.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah. But yeah, it's, I'm not sure at what cost,
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm not sure.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: At what cost or how much it makes him.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Well, it's made him a lot of money. At what cost?
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Do the cons outweigh the pros? I think that's one
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: thing that this movie tries to get into. It does
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: talk about everything that he's done in terms of the
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Teslas and the self-driving cars, which just killed somebody else
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: in California just yesterday.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Are there advances that he makes? Sure. Are they worth
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: the cost? I don't know.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I think you should have recused yourself from... From going
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: ahead and being a critic on the documentary, it doesn't
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: sound like you like him at all.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Well, but that's an interesting point because you can go
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: into a documentary and think, well, I don't really like
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: this person. But you can learn things that maybe change
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: your mind about him. And there were things that I
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: thought in the documentary I found. They show a lot
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: of his early days in the 90s at startups and
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: things like that. And he really sort of seems to
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: have a purity of vision. And I think that's sort
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: of gotten for whatever reason, I'm not a sociologist and
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: I'm not a politician, but it seems like, you know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: it's sort of has gotten, he's like a James Bond villain,
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: you know, like they all think they're doing the right thing. Oh,
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: a colony in space, uh, an underwater world, you know, uh,
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: you know.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Beware of Starlink.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: It's going to be, it's going to be shadowing.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: That sounds like a James Bond film.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: My other homework assignment is, My other homework assignment to you,
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I loved Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Nation of Kazakhstan by Sacha Baron Cohen, also known as
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Ali G. He's got a new movie out. It's being
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: promoted everywhere. Did you have a chance to check out
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: the flick?
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I sure did.
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: I've seen it, and I like it, and I think
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: it's not as good as the second one, Borat, the
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: subsequent movie film, which we'll just show.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: We'll just call it that.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: That Borat subsequent movie film is like the Citizen Kane
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: of those movies, the one from 2020.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It's fantastic.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: This one's really good, too, though. I think it's really...
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't really.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: Like, I find the character fine when he was on HBO.
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: I think he's kind of funny.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: He really... Like, this is really good, though. I think
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: that the.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: I gotta say the full name, you know, Ali G,
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: who is I, is fun. And if you like that
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: kind of stuff, where he really kind of... does a
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: candid camera thing and gets people who are not aware
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: that he's playing a character. He, there are also sequences
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: in here guys that you don't even understand how he
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: does them where he's like three characters all at the
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: same time. And it's sort of a magic of editing
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: and filmmaking. They really do an amazing job of it.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: So I, yeah, I, I liked it a lot. I
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: give it a solid four stars for allergy.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Who is I?
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: It's really funny.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: And it's a, and it's a, for what he, this
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: kind of stuff that he does, it's not Borat to
• 26:51
  Speaker 6: Borat subsequent.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Movie film, But it's really good. So I liked it.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: He's such a good actor. He could do the remake
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: of Sybil, right? Multiple characters and personalities.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: That's right. The Sally Field TV film. Exactly. He could
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: do 16 characters in one.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: So after the huge success of Spider-Man, are superhero movies
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: back now?
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Well, this Clayface movie that's out now is not a success.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't like it.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: But I mean, it's sort of this thing that they're
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: trying to do, which is create movies around villains. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: think they want it to be like Venom, like the
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: Venom movies, who is a villain of Spider-Man. So Clayface
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: was a villain of Batman, and I remember him for
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: reading comics when I was eight years old. The character
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: actually goes back to the 40s, but this film is
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: not good. It's kind of body horror stuff, but it's
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: a guy who's an actor whose face gets messed up,
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: and he goes to a... a shifty scientist which is
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: always we should know this you don't go to the
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: shifty scientist the you know like the joker did that
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: in the first batman movie you don't go to those
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: guys that are like in a dark alley and uh
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: and he gets stuff injected into his face and his
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: face starts melting i don't know i give it i
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: give it one star it's got some good special effects
• 28:04
