  Speaker 1: Now Curtesliwa and Larry Minty in the morning seven ten
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: wr Wow, I noticed this new census, so to speak,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of young men, young women gen zers who are moving
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: back home after college. And they say, well, all my
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: friends are doing it, so pretty much in the ages
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty seven, during COVID, the lockdown and pandemic,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie and our audience, it had reached its
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: height and was understood. People were being forced to lockdown.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Colleges were closed. It was the worst of times, courtesy
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of the evil doctor Fauci. As we learn more and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: more how he was in doubt privately, but oh publicly.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Shut those colleges down. Go home to mommy and daddy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: But now when they actually discuss it, the results with parents,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: about half of them are welcoming their kids home because
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: they find that the nest is too empty, and the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: other half is saying, I wish they would scrape the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: barnacles off their backside, get their rearing gear and go
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: out and get their own pad or share their pad
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: with a bunch of their friends. It's sort of like, Hey,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you're twenty seven years old and you're living at home
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: sor reminds me this is unrelated to here and now
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and the reasons that people do it any Italian American families. Larry,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I know you probably didn't have a personal experience with
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: this because you are Irish and German and you would
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: look at it from the periphery. I had a lot
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: of cousins all Italian, you know. Mama's Italian father was
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Italian real Mama Lukes. We call them, you know, Mama's boys.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: They'd be at home. They're forty five years old, they're single,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: they're not homosexual. They're clearly heterosexual. They're going to the clubs,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you know, they're going on dates, but they never leave
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the nest because no matter how much in love they
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: are with the girl next door or the girl they
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: found at a club, nobody can equal what mommy does
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: for them. Mommy would not only cook all their meals,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: but would make the bed and actually iron iron. Theyre bvds,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: they fruited the lums.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Can I get a clarification on that story? Yes, being homosexual,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: what does that have to do with them staying at home?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Well, back then it was rough to be a homosexual,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: one out on your own. You understand your had to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: sort of keep it on the down load. They be
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in the sixties, they needed protection from the family. No, No,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it's sort of like, uh, that was a good excuse.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I'm a mama's boy. Nobody, Oh, I love Mama. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: love mom.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Because a lot of people I know that are gay
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: couldn't wait to get out of the house because they
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: you know, they had a hard time not saying what
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: they were, and there was always a community for them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: So I just thought that was interesting that you threw
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: that in. I'm thinking, what if, what if homosexual have
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: to do with something.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Was specific to the Italian family?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, nobody.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Better suggest that to mama.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mama would go out of her way to protect
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the little prince. Remember in an Italian American family, no
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: matter what your sexuality, you were a prince.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You could do no wrong in the eyes of your mom.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: You could have done it drive by shooting past Saint
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Patrick's Cathedral nuns who were praying and kill all of them.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Mommy would say, not my boy, not my little one.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yet.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And we're talking about the sixties, seventies, six, Yes, yes, definitely,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: So it was a big difference.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So let's speed it up. So young man.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Young women are moving back after college and then saying, yeah, well,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: all my friends are doing it too, for totally different reasons.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Totally different reasons.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Your experience, since you have a bunch of young ones, Larry,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: is that common amongst your your boys and your girl?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: My daughter got married and move out, but she she
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: lived at helm until she got married to move out,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: which I think is really common. Natalie, you have the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: same thing. Right until you got married.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: You stay, did I did?
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I think it's common with women. I think it's more
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: common with women than men. My oldest son moved out
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: right away. My other two were in college and we
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: can't get them out of the house.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Are you looking to do that, Larry? I mean one
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of us is not Mama. Not Mama, she would have
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: them there forever. As a matter of fact, I thought
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I thought your wife was Norwegian.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: She sounds like an Italian American.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: She is Norwegian. She's very Norwegian, but she meant and
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: she loves her two little boys. Wow, and the two
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: If she they stayed at home until she died, she
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: would be happy she got out.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, So somewhere we should go to the Church of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the Latter Day Saints Salt Lake City, because you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: they do all the genetic tests, you know, and Tracia somewhere, uh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: probably some of the Norwegians had landed on the coast
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: of Italy and somehow, you know, what has Italian blood
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in her. That is the trait of an Italian American
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: mother in a household.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: The Norwegians and the Italians have been at war for
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: a long time because over the discovery of America. That's correct,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: because they say it was leif Ericson that discovered America.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Everything else is fraudulent. The problem with Columbus wrote everything
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: down Thewegians. He was like, talk to Fauci the Norwegians, Norwegian,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I'll try to get to this line.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: The Norwegians were too drunk to write everything down.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Now. All they did was they used to just show
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: up and drink and rape and pillage. The Columbus came
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: and he tried to make friends with everybody and wrote
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: notes about, oh, these people are going to make nice slaves.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: He kept a diary. He did just like Fauci.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: He did exactly, but he wasn't raving about the people.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: What a kind of a celebrity he was he was
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: more talking about I mean, I don't know if you've
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: ever read his diaries. If if you haven't and you're
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: interested in this for history, read some of the excerpts
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: of his diaries. They're chilling. I mean, how matter of factly,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: he was talking about how easy it is going to
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: be to conquer.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: The Native Americans and make them slaves.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: He because they're very accepting of us, like because they
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: were so nice and they didn't go to war with them.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: He thought, oh, we can enslave these people easy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And they passed on the STDs to them, which they
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: didn't have any immunity to, all the other diseases from Europe,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: and pretty much wiped them out before they had to,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you know, all of a sudden go to war against them.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but we just went far afield. Getting back to
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the kids living at home. Getting back to kids living
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: at home. The biggest reason for it, according to these studies,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: is that it is the cost of housing. It's got
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: it impossible anymore. Housing is going up like forty two
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: percent in just the last few years, so to buy
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: or to even to rent. And then you add to
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: that all the student loans and the debt that they
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: have to pay off time. They can't afford to go out,
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: so they get they go out of college, they think, oh,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: you know, the world is my oyster. It's not there
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: for them. They have to live at home to pay
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: off their debt so then they can go get an apartment.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Now they have to live at home or living at
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: home is better for them because mama does everything for them.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling your wife is like that. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: certainly know Italian mothers are like that, and they dread it.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: And the guy always uses this as an excuse. This
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is a guy. Hey, Minnie child, Joey's U shoes. Nobody
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: does you like mom? You know Mom, I can't leave
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Mom because you would break your heart. What are you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: talking about? Mom does everything for you. That's why you're
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a mama. Luke.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I just can't wait to get rid of the two
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: boys that are living in our house. Every once in
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: a while, I could be right, because I'm wrong about everything.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: The boys, no matter what they say.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: They could have just hoisted a car and she would
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: defend that and say I was wrong.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you if we do a DNA test in
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake City with the Church of the ladder day say,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and you know they seem to have a.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Hold on the market. It is Italian.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: There is Italian blood in your wife.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I gotta feeling it. And she's Greek and I gotta
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: feel and it's the same in her house too. Let
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: me ask you this, Yeah, when you talk to your husband, Chris,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: is it much different than the way you talk to
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: your son? Like with your son, isn't it like, oh high,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you know, you're so glad to see you with your husband.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: It's like, hey, did you take out the trash?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Is that pretty much the conversations?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: How do you know what's going on in my house?
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Because it's every single house in the world, it's the same.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Thing.
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: Is definitely something with you know, your little son. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: he was the baby of the family too.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Mama Luke, you say, that's what I'm.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Mean, But you know what, I don't know. He's a
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: seat going into his senior year in college. There's no
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: way he wants to come home. And I know that
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: and I accept it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It's don't say any of his bills and I guarantee
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you he'll be home in a heart beat.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I can't pay his bills.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I'm hoping this kid's going to be a big success.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Her son's going to be a big success. I want
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: to get to know him really well so he can
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: pay my bills.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I don't know about that, but we'll see. We'll see
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: if he comes home he does have student loans, that's
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: going to be the reason if he comes home crushing.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: And see what I say is, why the hell are
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: we paying everybody else's loans off? Crooked Argentina, whether they
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: are right wing government or left wing government.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: They're dead beats. They're always in debt.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: We just threw him that guy that Trump loves, what
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: like forty four billion dollars of some outrageous figure so
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that they could stay solvent. It's like, why not take
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: care of our own pay off those student dads, help
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: them at least.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: See now that's a great campaign issue. Stop paying all
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: the money the other governments and free our kids from
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: their student Larryons.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I was screaming into a tunnel training the mayoral campaign
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: That was one of my planks. Said it didn't resonate.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, you gotta run for Congress because you can actually
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: then you have then that's federal money.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Ah ah see see, you gotta rethink, rethink, Maybe I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: should run against AOC all our crazy alex had by
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Wait a second, she's running for president, maybe president, maybe
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: US senator.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Her eyes are no longer on the House of Reports.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: You got a lot of Democratic socialists in the city
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: to run against. Just run against one of them. It
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: would get national attention. That would be the one of
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the biggest races in the.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Problem is, Larry, my own Republicans would be against me, right, Well,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: what would you prefer AOC all our crazy Alexander quartet.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: We're just not gonna vote because you they wait for
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Trump to give them the signal. See if their maga,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: which most Republicans are, it has to come the signal
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: from up high.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: You know you don't get the signal from up high.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: That's it. We can't vote for you.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Oh that's right, and you'll never get the Trump endorsm no,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: hell no, no, that's not gonna happen anyway.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Well, we need a little talk back here because.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, even though we went askew a few times,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the basis of the subject is.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Are the kids coming home?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Do you want them out of the nest or you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a nest who feels that the nest is empty and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: you want them side by side with you. And then
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: yesterday you would think that I was the mayor of
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the Upper West Side.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Everybody coming up to me.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're putting the green stickers on because of alternate
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: side and the street parking as they try to shame people.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: After twelve years plus a chance to see let it
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: skinning and Foreigner at eight twenty five,
