  Speaker 1: Ah, Jimmy, don't fail me now, failure. You go to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: sleep with him at night. He's on from 9 to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: 12 right here at 710WOR, the biggest talk radio station
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: in the nation. And then you wake up with Larry
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: and me in the morning at 6. Jimmy, the President
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of the United States saved my life. when he said
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: yesterday about artificial intelligence, the robots will not be taking
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: over because I can still do my robot dance from
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: my disco dancing days, and I won't have to worry
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about the competition from them. What about you?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, I did not know that you had this illustrious
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: dance background, Kurt. That explains a lot, though. Listen, I'm
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: not an AI guy. Like, I went to Nassau Community College.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: They think AI stands for Allen Iverson, the basketball player.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: So we haven't been worried about this at all. But
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not scared, man. Whenever the opening in the negotiation
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is do it our way or everyone's going to die,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you kind of know you're getting ripped off. That was
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: climate change. That was the vaccine. That was net neutrality.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: We're going to be fine, okay? You know, I watched
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Jensen Huang speak yesterday. And he is, of course, as
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: smart as anybody out there. The only thing that threw
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: me is, I don't know if you saw those clips,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: but he's wearing a shiny leather jacket. And I don't
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: think anybody wants assurances on the fate of humanity from
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: a guy who's dressed like he's running a disco. Did
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: he go into your closet? Did he go into your closet? Seriously. Seriously. Well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: there wasn't a lot of room because I'm currently in
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the closet, as you know.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, we knew. Hey, I think it's fascinating that the
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is now
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: possibly going into bankruptcy as early as today. Turns out
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: taking that Donald Trump name off, it wasn't such a
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: good idea.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but I still care because I don't
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: want to see it go under. It has a legacy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Why not some JFK-inspired performances? Can we get some Marilyn
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Monroe impersonators in there? Maybe we set up a road
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: obstacle course for a Ted Kennedy Baja off-road challenge. You know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I'm invested, man. I want to see it stick around.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Now, remember the replacement at night you first talked about it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: for the dearly departed Emmy Award winner. Who was it
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: who won the Emmy Award for a talk show yesterday, Larry?
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Stephen Colbert, of course. Everybody knew that was going to happen.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Right, but he's gone, and now it's all comedy all
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the time. Apparently, that format is doing quite well, am
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I right?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, the comics unleashed?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because what's happening is, you know, Byron Allen, who
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is a super smart dude... He actually, it is a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: breakthrough idea, but it dawned on him that people who
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: tune into a comedy show want to laugh. So he
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: was like a pioneer in that regard in late night
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: because no one's prioritized that in the last 10 years.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of what he knows is that unbeknownst
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to Colbert or maybe Jimmy Kimmel, people don't want to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: hear right before they go to bed that fascists have
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: taken over the government. Women and blacks are losing their rights.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: We're all going to die. Go to bed, everybody. Good night.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: That's all he's doing is he's doing comedy in the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: year 1992, which is all we try to do on
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: my show is just do comedy. You don't have to editorialize.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: You don't have to care. So that cold, but you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Colbert thing good for them last night, but it was embarrassing.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: A lot of the stuff they did were embarrassing. Did
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you know any of the shows did the Emmys are
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: like dying because it's streaming and there's 9 million shows
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and not everybody watches this stuff.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're actually changing the name of the ceremony to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: the Googles because you have to Google all the nominees
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: so you can find out who's winning for what. It's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: like dancing with the stars, dancing with the Googles. You
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: have no idea who half of these people are.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Don't bring up Dancing with the Stars. Curtis is still upset.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: He didn't get selected.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Natalie here was supposed to get me into the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: 35th anniversary edition. She did a lot. She did a lot.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I know. I know.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Did they know? Nat, did they know about his robot dance?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe. We should have led with that, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: they might have changed it. You know what?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: If I had just sent the twerking, he would have
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: been on it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: That's what happens.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: It's all my fault. Listen, Kurt, you know, the Trumps
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: do love you. How about you and Don Jr. do
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the Russian edition Dancing.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: With the Czars? Dancing with the Czars. That is a classic. Oh, man,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: I can't top that. I can't top that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Let me take you back to the days when you
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: were riding that yellow cab around like an average hack.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: What would this price of gasoline do to your ability
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to take home enough money to pay the basics?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: It would actually kill you. You know, at $ 4 a gallon,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: you're losing about $ 80 to $ 90 a day in a
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: $ 20 tank of gas. Okay, so at these prices... I'm
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: wearing a blonde wig, powdering my Adam's apple and turning
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: tricks behind the Chevron. You know, this isn't even a
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: debate at this point. It's like, you know, where are
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you going, LaGuardia? Can I get you anything else on
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the way?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: What the hell do you do to your Adam's apple?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I didn't hear that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: What was that verb? Well, you powder it so they
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: don't see it. Oh, I see. I see.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I'm so happy I didn't know that. Yeah. Listen, I
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: want to say something serious for one second. I just
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: want to congratulate Fox News because Fox News was the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: only outlet that covered the rape of a six-year-old girl
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: in New Jersey. All of the networks ignored it. All
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the local news ignored it because she was raped by
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: an illegal alien. So please, whoever was responsible for that
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: and doing that, thank them because without them, we probably
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: wouldn't even know about it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, listen, I appreciate you talking about that story
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: because it starts with the local coverage. If the local
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: coverage doesn't pick it up, it doesn't go wider. So
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: somebody must have caught it at Fox, you know, because
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: another network might have did something like cursory, like a reader,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: like because it wasn't big coverage at all. You know
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? So, yeah, good on whoever did and
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: good on you guys if you've been talking about that. But, yeah,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: just to be clear, I obviously had nothing to do
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: with it. I'm not even allowed to pick a floor
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: for the elevator when I get in. But, yeah, it's
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: nice to know.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That's very bright of them not to let you pick
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a floor. Very astute. Very smart. In fact, that requires AI,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: actual intelligence.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jimmy. Don't fail me now, fail you. Remember,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you go to sleep with Jimmy at night here on 710WOR.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: He's on 6 to 9, Monday through Fridays. And then
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you wake up with Larry and me in the morning
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: at 6. Thank you, Jimmy.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: You're the best, Kurt. See you on the dance floor, Mr. Roboto.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Take care.
