• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast from WOR. Slewa, Menti, morning starts here.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Curtis Slewa and Larry Menti in the morning on 710WOR.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: We will be getting to the great meteorologist Ray Stajic
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: in about two minutes, so he can give an extended
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: forecast for what you can expect. But most importantly, right
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: now it is September 25th. That is 925 Dolly Parton Day.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Nine to five. Dolly Parton Day is being celebrated across
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: the country. You are encouraged to wear pink and rhinestones,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: which Curtis is doing right now. Thank you for celebrating.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: There ain't no damn way I'm wearing pink and rhinestones.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Why not? Three snaps up. I mean, you know, what
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: do you think? I'm going to be a drag queen
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: today dressed as Dolly Parton? Oh, come on.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe put two soccer balls under your shirt.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, jeez. We just took.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: The nicest thing and just threw it down the gutter.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: That's not the gutter. She was blessed. Are you kidding me?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Right. I'm not going to be looking like Christine Noem's husband.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: You remember him with the false memory glands. Dolly, I'm sorry.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: What a freak.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But anyway.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Now he'll look okay today. He'll be celebrating.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The point is, it is a great day. Celebration. I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: wonder if, although her extended family and all of her
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: financial advisors are going to be celebrating because they seem
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to be at war already.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: They are at war. But let's put that to the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: side for a second and just celebrate the life of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Dolly Parton like they're doing across the country. In Nashville,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: they're making the lights pink. They're putting up giant posters.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: In New Orleans, they're doing the same thing. In Manhattan,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: what they are doing, they called it Dolly Parton Day.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: The borough president came out, and it's officially Dolly Parton Day.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: And he is encouraging people, and this is really a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: good idea. If you can't really go out and do anything,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: if you're not going to wear rhinestones today or anything
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: like that, just take a moment to either donate a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: book or donate some money to Imagination Library. You can
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: find the site online. And that's a really nice way
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to honor her legacy today. In Staten Island. What are
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: they doing in Staten Island?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, gosh.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: There's an organization called Musicians on Call. And they're going
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to hospitals all over, including Staten Island University Hospital, to
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: perform for patients in the hospital.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It is wonderful.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I love that. It makes me almost want to dress
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up in drag like Dolly Parton today with pink and rhinestones.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I love it. 925.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: To tell you the truth, today is my anniversary in 4K.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, happy anniversary. Thank you.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: So, you know, I've celebrated for many years. I never
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: thought of 9-2-5 on September 25th.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It never even occurred to me.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Which anniversary is it? Is it an important one?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: It's 27.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, coming up on 30.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That's pretty damn good. I think all my marriages combined,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think, equals that. Oh, wow.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: What was your longest anniversary? Oh, gosh.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: They end up, you know, seven-year itch, but I never itch.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And then I would say it's like within 10, 11 years. 10,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: 11 years? And then all of a sudden goes south.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: But not this one. This is The Keeper with Nancy.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But meantime, speaking of Nancy.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Wait a second.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: One more last question. Yes. Most importantly in your relationships,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: what was the longest on-air relationship?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Well, that was with Lisa in the morning when I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: did Angels in the Morning at WABC. So that was
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: three years until we both got fired together.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Three years.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: How romantic. Oh, no, that led to the demise of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: our relationship. Talk radio will do that. That's why I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: had to consummate and make sure this relationship was solid
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: with me and Larry after the shit-out that Tom Cuddy did. Meantime, Nancy,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: as you know, loves Central Park, and she loves going
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to the iHeart Global Citizen Festival every year because she
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: lives in Central Park morning, noon, and night. And even
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: though we're going to hear from Ray Stajic about the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: gloomy forecast in the The iHeart Global Citizen Festival will continue.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Bring your ponchos. iHeart is one of the proud sponsors
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of what is really a major event. You've got some
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of the biggest stars in the business who will be
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: performing for all the right causes. So if you were
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: intent on showing up, show up. Just bring your poncho
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: just in case. So now let's get to the great
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Ray Stajic, the best meteorologist. So this is the forecast
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you need to listen to. He has been honing it
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of days. He hemmed and hawed
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: a couple of times. but now he's got it down.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So Ray, what can we expect today?
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: From where we were yesterday, gang, you know, we are
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: a little further West. I think everybody's probably heard that.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: And it's more of a slow movement and kind of
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: the retrograde toward the West and kind of sitting around
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: for a little while out over the Western Atlantic.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: That's going to make this a long duration. I'd go
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: moderate impact event.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: That's what the national weather service is saying. So we've
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: kind of ticked up the language a little bit more
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: from yesterday. Thus, The Weather Service has put out the
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: wind advisory. That includes all five boroughs, parts of southeastern
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: New York. You get into Westchester, Rockland County, Long Island.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I'm actually surprised there's not a high wind warning for
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: eastern Long Island, but we should start seeing the winds
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: picking up as we head through tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: Good gusts, 40 to 45, even here in and around
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: the city. 50, maybe 60 mile per hour winds the
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: further east you go out onto Long Island. Strongest winds
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: again as we go through tomorrow and tomorrow night. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: then the rain element, the rain will start picking up
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: again same time as about the wind as we go
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: on through the day.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Second half of tomorrow.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: Into tomorrow night, winds could be gusting again or the
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: rain could be falling a moderate to even heavy at times.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: And we could see about one to three inches of rain.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: There'll be about three to five as you continue to
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: go east into Suffolk and Nassau and Suffolk County. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: there'll be heavier rain, maybe a problem with some localized flooding.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: And then you've got the coastal flooding. It's already occurring,
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: and I really think it's going to be the beaches
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: that are continuing to get chewed up right now down
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: along the Jersey Shore and the southeastern beaches of Long Island,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Jones Beach, for example. Long Beach, these are all areas
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: that have already seen flooding, already seen significant beach erosion.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: I think we're going to get more of that, too. And,
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: you know, it's not like it's been any treat even
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: out ahead of this thing. It's not even been developed
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: so far. We're seeing numerous areas already underwater, down to
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: the Outer Banks, 12's closed. It's basically washed out. Very
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: popular highway down there. And the storm's just developing. So
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: this is going to be a long-duration event battering the shore.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Gusty winds, rainy, probably through Saturday, Saturday night, and even
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: into a good chunk of Sunday.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: So wait a second. You're saying also not only may
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Saturday get wiped out with rain and wind, but Sunday too?
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Sunday may end up being a little bit worse
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: than I think it was yesterday because we got this
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: little retrograde back toward the west. And it's not going
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: to be a fast moving system to most of the time.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: I would say most when you get these nor'easters coming in,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: you know, you get maybe a 12 hour event, maybe
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: 18 hour event that the storm just comes and it
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: goes and it goes racing up the coast.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: That will not be the case with this storm. It's
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: going to develop. It's going to come in.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: It's going to be moving slowly, and then it's going
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: to move back toward the west and just continue to spin.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: So that persistent onshore, northeast, easterly push is going to
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: continue to push water in. And like I said, even
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: around areas around New York Harbor, there's going to be inundation.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: So the question is going to be, how bad will
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: it get? There's coastal flood advisories and warnings, all kinds
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: of advisories on the water, too. But there's no reason, actually,
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: to be out there, whether it's on a boat or swimming,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: unless you've got, you know, unless you're bots or something.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: You've got to just stay put. And, you know, obviously
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: follow what the warnings and the advisors and your local
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: emergency managers are giving for information. So, you know, going
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: to be a tough one. Going to be a tough one.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the first time you said slow moving, I grimaced
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: because I knew that was going to be a longer event.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: But how far west is there going to be rain?
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I think it'll get far west is most likely into
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: northwest Jersey, maybe the Poconos and then As far west
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: as the Catskills and as you go up the Hudson Valley,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: most likely going to see that rain get close to Albany,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: maybe into the Mohawk Valley. But the heavier rain is
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: going to be concentrated on about New York City, southeastern
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: New York, northeast Jersey, eastern east Jersey and out onto eastern.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: New England and Long Island. So it will rain even.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Where are you going, Curtis? Somewhere?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Wait a second.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Because each day we talk to you, it gets more dire.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Every time you say it's moving west, it's moving west.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: This is not good for me. I got to get
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: up to Marshall, New York, to rescue the 16,000 beagles.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: We're breaking them out out of Marshall, New York. It
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: is the biggest farm for beagle development that they use
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: to test and torture and kill. And so I'm already
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: all geared up, as the crew here has seen. I
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: got the guardian angel gear on. I look like Senator Fetterman.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I got the hoodie on, man. I'm good to go.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Right into the eye of the nor'easter.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: When are you leaving? When are you heading out?
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Late tonight.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, bad timing. All right, you should be fine. Oh, really?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Look at you. Bad timing.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Well, the later the worse.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, from this point.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You're right, Larry. This guy, he's like, come see, come saw.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Everything's copacetic. Well, that was yesterday.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: I'm a little bit more concerned today.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: A little bit. Not for me. That's for sure.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: My wife is.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: She told me to bring my galoshes with me. I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: haven't heard that term in a month of Sundays.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Galoshes. Do you even have galoshes?
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I forgot what a galosh was. They now call them
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: rain boots.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: So it's interesting that you told him he'd be okay.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: So when is this going to start hitting?
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: We'll start to see showers probably coming in tonight. It
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: doesn't mean it's not going to be raining, but the worst.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: impacts will be as we go through the second part
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: of tomorrow, tomorrow night, and probably into at least the
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: first half of Sunday. It's going to be showery. I
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: can't even say that word, but there'll be showers and
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: the winds have already gusted 20, 30 miles per hour. So,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's not going to be great, but I'm
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: saying you should be able to get there. I'm not
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: saying it's not going to be like rainy and a
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: little breezy, but it'll get... Less rainy and less breezy
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: the further north and northwest you go.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I'm getting nauseous here. I'm really getting nauseous. Ray, one favor, please,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: when you join us later in the show, because obviously
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the weather is the primary story, bar none. I met
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a whole tour group yesterday in Midtown. They were going
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to the Ed Sheeran concert up at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Tonight he has one, tomorrow. And apparently, I guess, that
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: New England area is going to get clobbered bad. They
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: might have to cancel those concerts. So can you give
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: us an update on that when you join us later?
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Yep, we can do that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, Ray Stachik. We'll talk to
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: you in a couple of hours. Go to the iHeartRadio
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: app and leave us a talkback. You could win a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt, which
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: will be awarded every day to our favorite talkback of
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the morning. We'd love to hear how you might be
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: celebrating Dolly Day 925 and also how you're preparing for
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the storm. And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: be sure to set a preset for 710WOR and don't
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: forget the best talkback of the week takes on the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Sea Crane Radio app. Seacrane radios that work when it
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: matters most.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, this is nauseating.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Macklemore is announcing a free Palestine tour. Oh, I'd love
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: to be in that crowd. Plus a chance to see
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Kenny G at 825. Hey, we have Arthur Lee coming
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: up in this show today, the guy that is the
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: founder of LifeVac and somebody I believe is a national
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: hero because he saved so many lives. Because I can
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: tell you how important this is from covering the news
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: all my life. I know exactly how fast an everyday
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: normal situation can turn into an emergency. And choking is
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: one of those moments, maybe the most common. It can
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: happen to anyone, a child, a parent, a grandparent. And
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: when it does, of course, seconds matter. It's terrifying. That's
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: why I want to tell you about LifeVac. LifeVac is
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the first and only FDA-authorized suction anti-choking device to be
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: used for second-line treatment when recommended choking protocols like the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Heimlich have been followed without success. And here's what's remarkable.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: LifeVac has helped save over 6,000 lives worldwide. Just last month,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: it saved a little boy in Rialto, California. We'll be
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: talking to Arthur about that coming up. That's not just
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a number. Just like that little boy, these are real people,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: real families, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: tool close by can make all the difference in the world.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So you should learn more about LifeVac today at LifeVac.net.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: That's all you have to do. Go to LifeVac.net. Visit
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: LifeVac.net and see how you can be ready when it counts.
