• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Larry Minty in the morning on sevent ten, WR.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You could say, what's.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Oh boy, I don't know if you're aware, both Larry
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: and Natalie and our audience, it's been two nights of
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: a full moon.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I mean a full moon. And how do I know?
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: My wife, Nancy, whose nickname is Lone wolf one, who
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: fancies herself as a wolf, has been in Central Park
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: baying to the moon.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: So while she's in Central.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Park for real, yeah, oh, she's homes in Central Park.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: She's nocturnal.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Two, I'm nocturnal, so you know, I've been on my mission,
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: which I'm hope Spider Man joins me in now that
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: he has returned as the friendly vigilante after five years
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: being away of trying to find the guys who are
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: breaking into the blue mailboxes that people expect that their
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: mail is going to be safe and secured by the
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: United States Postal Service, and in many instances it's not so.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: As I was roaming around in the wee hours of
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: the morning the last two early mornings before I came
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: here to WR.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: No rats, now, I'm sure.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: If they heard that down at City Halls, Johan Mandami
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: would have a press conference.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: You see, the night may occurred. As Sleeve was said,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: there's no rats, and you know why.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Because when there's a full moon, there's light and nobody
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: ever really looks up at night unless you think there's
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: a drone following you. But there are all kinds of
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: birds of prey. They are the owls that we've talked about,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: flockhole and others like flockhole.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: There are hawks. There are other birds who if they.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: See the rat or the mouse, you know, scurrying about
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: which we used to sing, will immediately swoop down and
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: pick them up, and then that's their early morning snack.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: That's why the rats and the mice stay in their hovels,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: because they know that they are subject to being preyed upon.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Why so I'm walking around and I'm like, but meantime,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: the people who are mentally disturbed and homeless, it's sort
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: of like that scene out of you know, Michael Jackson,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: when all of a sudden they're gyrating and dancing thriller.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: That's what it's like. They're really acting up.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: I've heard of that song iout that Can you move
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: to that? No? No, no, I know people that can
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: do the entire thing. If you've been at a wedding
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: when they do that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: No, but I used to be able to do it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: I was like sixteen, Wow, So what is They don't
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: do the electric slide that at the wedding she goes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: They don't do Thriller anymore either, But there was a
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: time when people memorized it and did the whole dance.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: So there are emotionally disturbed people who know me by
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: first name. I've had conversations with you when there is
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: the full moon.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: When there's the full moon, they act really irrationally.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Well, your your wife is going out and howling at it?
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Is that rational? Well she's howling at the moon.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I get it. No, I understand. I know exactly what's happening.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: And then when Natalie said she houses the moon, when yeah, like,
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: as if everybody howls at the moon, are there other
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: people that go out and held at the moon?
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: What I tell her, because her nickname is lone wolf
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: one Nancy is wolves don't howl to the moon.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: That's a myth. I'm I won't call it an urban myth.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: That's a that'stra from the old Old Country.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Myths. You know, the wolves we go, they're actually.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: You know, they're they're howling to bring their whole pack
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: together because they're going to go on a hunt.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: So she's hoping wolves. She's hoping to attract wolves.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Well, she's attracted coyotes. The two coyotes who are in
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Central Park. She has actually attracted them.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: I need to invite Nancy to my house. She would
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: just be so happy there.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Oh with all the critics, Yes, oh, help.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: You want to get her before eight?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: That's Wyoto.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: That's why she loves to go visit her mom in Nowhere, Pennsylvania,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: in the middle of nowhere, because she goes and gets
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: her AK forty seven, shoots some tin cans, and then
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: she communes with the bears. The deer that some people
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: hate that they think it's like age in Orange with wolves.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: She has the way.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: She's like a female version of Doctor Doolittle. She talks
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: to animals.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: Animals understand that.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I get Do other people howl at the moon?
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Just her?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: No, they are emotionally disturbed people screaming to the moon.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I gotta show you that. But let me flip the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: script on all of you, please.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of fascinated by the howling. I'm sorry, I
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: can't get off of that. There may be more questions
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: to come about the howard.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: He's gonna keep doing that.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I can't like him to stop.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Dude, keep telling her that wolves do not howl to
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: the moon. But she looks at me like, what, well,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm I'm the animal expert she is, but
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: you're the movie experts. There's no doubt about it. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: finally will be taking Nancy to a movie this weekend.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: But it's not the two blockbusters Ulysses or Spider Man.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: It's the flock Hole movie that we miss the other night.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: And honesty.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Uses. So there there is a scene. I have seen
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the Ulysses poster.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: Right, if you've seen the Ulysses poster, you're gonna be
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: the only one in.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: The movie theater.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: There's gonna be Ulysses is gonna come out, I promise you,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: and he's gonna call it Odyssey.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: So I see this poster everywhere whenever I'm scrolling.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It's Matt Damon.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: You see he's staring up until he's like five six
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: gigantes that he's gonna fight. It turns out that's not him.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: That's his body double in the movie Who is a woman?
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: So the yep, you see those biceps. Don he admitted it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Matt Damon gave an interview that he admitted that's not me.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: That is a stunt woman, well known in the industry.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: She's only four foot six.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: It's this stunt double. It's his stunt double.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: So when you're looking at the back of Matt Damon,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: they're staring down these five six gigantors, that's a woman.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: I had to look it up because you know, I
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: had to look it up, and.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: So I don't blame you doubting me.
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Her name is Devlyn Dalton, uh and she is a
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: very famous leading man stunt double wow, and she is
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: in a lot of Christopher Nolan's movies. As a matter
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: of fact, as you pointed out, she's in New Zealand
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: right now. She had to leave that movie and go
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: right to another movie. She's used all the time.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Love that biggest biceps, more so than most men. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the other thing is, she said, you know, we're like ghostwriters.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: We never get credit. You know, somebody writes your book,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: it's really the ghostwriter, and they never mentioned the ghost
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: She goes, he's the first star or starlet ever to
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: mention that it was really me.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: That is his body double. Don't remember he's five ten,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: she's four six. Yeah, that's increating how the director gets
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: that to.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Look the same.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: He also admitted, which was really funny, He said the
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: occupational hazard on this filming was he goes, maybe it's
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: because if we're and old, He's like, but we all
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: had back aches. We were all popping advil because they
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: were walking on stones with you know, really bad footwear
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: because it was supposed to be at the time, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: they all had aching backs every day.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Did you hear the story about there was there was
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: a time when his voice was supposed to be gone,
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: when it was supposed to be raspy, and he could
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: barely speak because he was yelling. So he spent the
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: whole day walking the set yelling to herd his voice. Man,
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: this movie, I gotta see it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: There's the other the other scene. Who is his co
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: star most unlikely coach star. I would every thing for
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: a movie like this. And I'm gonna missprenounce his name
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: because I always do. He's the blind servant John Leguzamo. Right, Oh,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: very good, very good. I had actually interviewed him when
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Rudy put me over at Public Radio WNY. She because
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: he was trying to shell the tower he came in
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: for now. He was from and Heights. I didn't have
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: to ask him one question. He just spoke infinitum. He
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: is like tension deficit disorder. I met him and he
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: said his biggest problem with this movie was that they
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: have a scene where as the blind servant, he's taking
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: puppy dogs and tossing them off a cliff, and he
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: says to the director, I won't be able to walk
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: down the block. I won't be able to be seen
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: in public. People going to think I'm a puppy killer.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: He goes, no, No, we're making the puppies out of cloth,
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: so people will know that in advance, because if in
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: fact he was killing puppies, or they created that image
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: without actually explaining it's not real puppy dogs, he wouldn't
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: be able to go anywhere, which are gonna lead us
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: later on to think the only thing that brought Democrats
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: and Republicans together on the evil Doctor Fauci is when
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: he tortured those beagles in Tunisia.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Nancy Mace wrote the letter.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: The Republican Democrats chimed in, but he was right about that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: He goes, I wasn't gonna do that scene, and let's
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: you know, the director guaranteed me I wouldn't be able
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: to walk around with my family.
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: Well, we've spent a lot of time on the backstories
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: of Odyssey. But the big thing this weekend. There's a
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: news story actually this weekend because it's Spider Man versus Odyssey,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: and Odyssey might go over now a billion dollars in
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: three weekends, which would be close to a record, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: it's still gonna get beat this weekend by Spider Man.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: So the big thing for Hollywood and the big thing
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: for movie theaters is it seems like movies are back.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question. He's been away for
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: like five years, you know, the trilogy. He's been away,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: globe trotting Spider Man. You know, I haven't been any
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: new movies. So the new movie comes. So what is
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: it about this movie that is going to pack them
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: in more so than any other previous Spider Man movie.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: And remember, we grew up with Spider Man TV programs
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: when we were kids. You know, they had so many
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Spider Man programs. Uh, what is it about this that
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: is causing even our very dear friend at the Post,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Johnny Oh, to write a glowing profile of this movie.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: You know him, He dissed and dismissed every movie. This
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: is incredible, and he hasn't even reached out to me
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: as the friendly vigilante returning to New York City. That's
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: how they promoted to ask the real vigilante if there's
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: room enough in this city for two vigilantes.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Well, the question was too long. I think we're at
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: a time now.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Let's put out the question to our talkback people out Yet.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: This phenomenon of movies all of a sudden coming back
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: into vogue when people want to go to the theater.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would, I would say this about that. I'd
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: slow your role a little bit. And I said it too.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: I started to get excited about it as well. But
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: we're talking about the summer, and we're talking about a
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: couple of weekends. Let's let's give it a little bit
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: of time. Let's give it a few months to see
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: if movies are actually back or it's just these two
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: movies that are so good that people want to see them.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Leave us your talk back By the way, let us
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: know if you're gonna see either of these movies, or
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: if you have seen this, give us a review. Also
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: a singer that is famous in certain circles, but he
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: won an oscar and he has played at Carnegie Hall,
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: he has played at Radio City Music Hall. You may
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: not know his name, but you're gonna know his big song.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Plus a chance to see Deep Purple in Kansas at
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: a twenty five.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: This has been a podcast from wor
