  Speaker 1: Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in the morning, 710 WOR.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, we have a hurricane coming, the first hurricane of
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: this season. It's really late. It's been strange that there's
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: been nothing until now, and it's supposed to hit the panhandle,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: possibly as a Cat 3. And if you've noticed, I
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: haven't said the name of the hurricane yet, because apparently
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: nobody can pronounce it, even... Even the Florida governor who
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: deals with hurricanes all the time, he passed.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Because it's not normal. I don't know how to pronounce
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: this because it's not normal. So, you know, I'm calling
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: it Isaiah. You guys can call it what you want.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I know that's not how you pronounce this. It's something else.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: But it's weird, and I'm just going to keep butchering
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: it for the next 72 hours, and I'd rather just
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: be that.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's great.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: But when I first started, remember I said it to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the both of you, Natalie, and to Larry. I said
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: it sounds like the newest leader of ISIS, al-Qaeda, or Hamas.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Well, it sort of sounds like ISIS. It's ISIS, I think,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: or ISIS.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: ISIS?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: ISIS, that's it.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: What a dumb name. ISIS. Let's see if we have
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Ray Stajic on the line, the meteorologist for WOR and
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the Weather Channel. And have you been pronouncing it right?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Have you been practicing it all day?
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: My head hurts.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Please tell us how to pronounce it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: Really, I mean, it's Isaias.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Isaias. Isaias. Isaias. Where did that come from? Who chooses
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: these names?
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: I have no clue. You know, we had that discussion
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: this morning. Our hurricane expert, Dr. Rick, I was like,
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: he used to work at the Hurricane Center.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Down in Miami.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: And I was like, Dr. Nab, who does this? I said,
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: why can't you just go with one syllables? Like Ray
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: or Rick.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Or John or Bill. Or just give them numbers like
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: Storm 1A, Storm 1B.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Since you asked, I have the origin. You want to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: hear the origin? Oh, yeah, please. Spanish and Portuguese form
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of the biblical Hebrew name Yeshayahu. What? So that ought
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to clear things up for you, which means Yahoo is salvation. Yahoo. Yeshiyahu.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: That's it. Very good. Yeshiyahu. Yeshiyahu is salvation or God
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: saves in Hebrew.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Now, I got to tell you guys, we used to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: call it, what a yahoo that guy is.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: That was a term that we would commonly, what a yahoo,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you know, what a schlub. What a yambo.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Where did they get these names from?
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: We're coming up with our own names next year because
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I think yahoo would be a great name for a storm.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: How about Hurricane Yambo?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I like that one. Okay. Isaias.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I'm back to Bill, Ray, Nick, John.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Let's go with Mary. Don't leave out those female genders, please.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Come on. I heard you saying all males there.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Come on, Ray. No, I said Mary. Oh, okay. Okay.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Right away, you want to pounce.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: You're learned.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: It only took me a couple of months, but I
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: got you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So what can you tell us about Isaias? No, Isaias.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Hurricane. All right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Isaias.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Advisory is coming out now every three hours. It's full updates, 5A, 11A, 5P, 11P,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: and then intermediate advisories where they send updates out. So
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Hurricane Hunter is out there. The last update, 110 mile
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: per hour, Category 2. One mile per hour away from
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: being a major hurricane. which starts at one 11, probably
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: strengthen a little bit more of the hurricane center does
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: bring it to one 15 and then tries to weaken
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: it right before landfall somewhere around, let's say near Pensacola
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: and the Western pandemic on that area of Florida. And
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: it takes it onshore weekends, starts accelerating for momentum as
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: it does weekend. And it'll make a turn a little
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: jog toward the West before it heads Northeast. And at
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: that point, it was when it heads in our direction and,
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: as we look ahead towards Sunday and Sunday night. You're
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: going to get some rain and showers, maybe up to
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: an inch of rain. I don't think big impacts here,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: but at least some wet weather around. But obviously, as
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: you get down into the southeast, where we see landfall,
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: we're going to see a water rise, that storm surge
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: of water coming in off the Gulf, and then you've
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: got rain, heavy rain and flooding. Severe weather, as you
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: traditionally do on the east side of the eyewall, where
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: you'll get severe weather, including tornadoes in the southeastern U.S.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: and The heavy rain, the flood risk will move inland.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: But I think here it's just rain. I don't think
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: we have much of a flood risk at all. Just
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: a damp Sunday forecast that looks like it's going to
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: be the worst of it. All right.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Two things of importance. Donald Trump going to the Bulldogs,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Georgia versus Alabama. He'll get a great reception. Is this
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: going to be wiped out because of this storm slash
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: hurricane going right through that area?
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: No, I think the worst is going to be well past.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: I mean, it'd be a little breezy, maybe some showers
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: in Tuscaloosa. 6.30 central kickoff for the Bulldogs and the
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Crimson Tide, but the worst of it's going to be gone.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: But they've canceled just about everything else before the game.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: There's no tailgate, there's none of that stuff, but it
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: will be nasty before and during the day in central,
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: south-central Alabama, but it should be improving as we head
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: toward kickoff.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, he'll love it because he'll get a great reception.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Second, you totally didn't mention Monday, Columbus Day Parade. Everybody
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: wants to forget it up Fifth Avenue. What's the weather
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: forecast going to be for all those people who don't
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: even want to acknowledge Christopher Columbus anymore?
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: In the morning, there could be some lingering showers. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: think they'll be ending by probably 7 or 8 o'clock.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: If there's still some leftover showers for the parade, I
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: don't think it's going to be A bunch of rain
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: at all. The afternoon, we might get some sun in
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: near 70 degrees.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Good, good. Thank you. When you said it wasn't going
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to hit the football game, it was going to be
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: later than the storm. So the storm will have moved
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: past by that point. Is that because, because I'm remembering
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: some past storms, they stuck around for a while or
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: they were very large and there was remnants of it
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: at the very least for hours and hours and hours.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Is this one slow-moving, or is it that big, or
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: is it just the normal timing? No, not slow-moving.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Right now, forward speed northeast at 14 miles per hour,
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: and it will accelerate in forward speed. Every tropical system,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: whether it's a tropical storm or hurricane, is unique. It's
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: all based on how the wind patterns and the steering
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: currents are basically set up in the atmosphere. This one
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: is set up for a storm to keep moving north.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: And as it gets into the northern latitudes and the westerlies,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: it will continue to pick up forward speed as the
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: actual wind speed from the system winds down. So we're
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: not anticipating a slow-moving storm that's hanging around. If anything,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: it will speed up. And as we had said, there
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: will be impacts in Alabama, but those impacts will be
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: before kickoff, at least the worst of them. And most
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: of it should move north and then northeast as we
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: head toward 6.30 kickoff time for that game.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Ray Stajic, we'll catch up with you later today for
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a quickie update in case you want to do a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: pivoting shift and change your mind on it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: There you go. Like you always do, right? No problem.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It's possible.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: I thought the biggest thing he said was that the
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: tailgating was canceled. That's a big deal in Alabama.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: It is. Thank you.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Tailgating and the walk. They do their entrance and all that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: All that's canceled. They moved game day inside, so Oh, okay.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: All that.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So anyway, Natalie, you brought to our attention, along with Larry,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: big story affecting moms and kids in sports in New Jersey.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Well, in Wayne, New Jersey, there is a youth ice
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: hockey league called, I love this name, the Hitmen, Jersey Hitmen.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: What is that, right out of the Sopranos? You can't
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: make it up. It's so Jersey.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Anyway, so- Apparently, they have a rule that, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: if they want to have any merchandise made, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: because every team wants to have merchandise, it has to
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: go through the club. Well, apparently some moms decided to
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: make their own team jackets and the owner didn't like
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: it so much.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: What do you mean the owner didn't like it so much?
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on. This is a youth league. This
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: is moms.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: You were involved in a soccer league where you and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the moms were out there, you know, dealing with the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: kids who.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Are on the soccer pitch. So, I mean, I don't
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: understand this. Yeah, I don't get it either.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: He put out an email to the team basically threatening
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: to suspend the players.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: U10.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: We're talking 9 and 10-year-olds.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: What?
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Suspend them and... To that they were going to have
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: to pay 15 percent royalty fees or something because it
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: is copyrighted.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, he did copyright it. He does have the right
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: to do this. He absolutely has the right.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: And then he basically said I was really never going
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: to suspend them. But and I do understand this. Because
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: you know, Larry, because you have kids that have children
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: right now in youth club sports.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: These parents are crazy.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: And if you don't basically threaten suspension or something, their
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: kids are going to get hurt at the end. They're
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: going to ignore you.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is a lot different. I mean, those
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: crazy parents are the ones that are going up in
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the coaches' faces all the time saying, my son's not
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: playing enough and he's better than this person or this person. This,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it sounds like he's in the right. He's allowed. If
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: he copyrighted this, he's absolutely... in the right. I'm not
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: even sure why it made it to his story, except
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: for some of the parents must be really upset about it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: But no, that was brilliant on his part. Now I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: take this side of the parents on this. Come on, man.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: This is bad PR for him. He doesn't look good.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: It's not bad PR for the parents. I'm telling you,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: in most of these cases, I will find out. And
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I was one of the bad parents. So believe me,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I'm turning myself in. Let's open up this Pandora's box.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Tell us a little bit. We don't have time. Trust me,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I've talked about it before. I've talked about it before.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: But in this case, he put out, he said to people,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: don't do this. And they did it anyway. And he
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: has a copyright. So legally... I don't know if PR
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: is good, but legally, he is absolutely right.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I am suggesting now in retaliation that all of those
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: knockoff illegal aliens on Canal Street now have rows and rows.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: Of these.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: And they'll sell, too. It's a great name. I mean,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: retaliate on this guy.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: But basically, he's saying, if I'm not this strong, then
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: I have to threaten that their kids are not going
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: to play.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: The parents won't listen to me. I don't think Curtis
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: has ever been in the world that we've been in
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: with the crazy parents. And so it's really difficult to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: get mad at the coaches who are taking incoming all
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: day long from these crazy parents that say little Bobby
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: is much better than Jim Joe. Jim Joe? Where did
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: you get that name from, Larry? Just came out. Hey, listen,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: we'd like to hear from you. Go to the iHeartRadio
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: app and leave us a talkback. You could win a
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Curtis Sliwa and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt, which
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: is going to be awarded every day to our favorite
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: talkback in the morning. And while you're on the free
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app, be sure to set a preset for 710WOR.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: And don't forget, the best talkback of the week takes
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: home a C-Crane radio. Well, this is really interesting. Apparently,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Curtis hates Ella Langley so much, he went to a
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: pro to do research on her to show that she
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't deserve the accolade she's getting and the record she
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: set with Billboard. He can explain when we come back. Plus,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a chance to see live on stage A Bronx Tale,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the one-man show starring Chaz Palminteri at 825.
