  Speaker 3: Wegmans grocery store in Montvale, New Jersey, which is really
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: just across the river.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Wegmans.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: That's a great supermarket.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And if you're into salads and salads, You want to
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: go to Wegmans if you're going to any supermarket. They
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: have the best selection of greens and all the things
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: you would put in a salad.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: And a food bar. I mean, you go there and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: you can get Mexican food. You can get Indian food.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: They have the most extensive food bar I have ever seen.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: So let's trace previous winners who have all of a
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: sudden gone MIA. We know what happens. They contact a lawyer.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: The lawyer says, hey, we need a financial planner. You
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: need to basically be in the witness protection program. Don't
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: let anybody know where you are. Plan on moving. You
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: will get deluged with people you forgot all about who
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: are suddenly your very best friends. So plan. Plan potentially
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: on moving out and starting a new life with all
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the money you're going to have. And then they tell
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you how much you're going to be paid in taxes.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: In New Jersey, you don't have to have your name released.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You have that option. Not every state has that. Most
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: states are getting it now, but not every state has that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: So you don't have to have your name out. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: do you know who the director of the Lottery Commission
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: is in New Jersey? Guess what his name is?
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey. Does he look like Jim Carrey? No. But,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: you know, he's got a good personality. This is what
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: he said yesterday.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Check your tickets. Because prizes for Powerball range from $ 4
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and up, all the way up.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: To $ 847 million.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: So make sure you check the ticket.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: You can go to any lottery retailer, scan your ticket
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: at the scanner, and you can find out.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Maybe you won $ 4. Maybe you won $ 847 million.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It is very possible, he said, because this has happened before.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: It is very possible, if it's not Natalie. If it's
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: not Natalie, because believe me, she would have checked her ticket.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: And she only buys one at a time. Are you kidding?
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: That would be amazing. Yeah, no, she buys one. Most
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: people buy like $ 20. Wait a second, Larry. Apparently, the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: winner only bought the one ticket. The last time. The
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: last time they won, not this time. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. And Natalie loves her family and her
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: family loves her. This is not a dysfunctional family. Like
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you don't want to go with daddy and mommy wherever
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: they went to retire. Down in Florida, right? It's now
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: costly to move to Florida. It's not like it used
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: It's up there.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I could easily see the Segway taking place and she'll
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: be joining John Gambling in retirement down there.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you i i feel it i feel it
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: in my bones yeah it could well the fact that
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: she texted me at 2 44 in the morning leads
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: me to believe that no she didn't win unless she's
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: up because she's so excited now yeah they probably i
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be doing any work if i won the uh
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: If I won the lottery. You wouldn't be here. No,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: she was messaging us about work stuff, so I don't know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: That would not be me. I have a feeling it's
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: somebody that hasn't checked their ticket yet. Probably. That's the thing.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question, Larry.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You've been with Natalie a long time. She plays the lottery.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You play the lottery. Did she ever say what she
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: would do with her winnings? Did she ever say that?
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: The only one thing she said to me, which is
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: so pure Natalie... She said, the first thing I would do,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: now most people would say, I'm going to buy a yacht.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get a nice house. I'm going to move.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: I'm going to invest it all. She said I would
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: pay off my kids' student loans. Oh, my God.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And then she could really cut all ties and leave. Hey, kids,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: you're on your own. I'm going to give you a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: little nest egg. I'm paying off all your student loans.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: You don't need to be dependent on me anymore. You're
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: going to have your own nest. We're going to invest
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it so it makes money on its own.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I'm out of here. I'm down in Florida. I think
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of people that play the lottery already have
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: it lined up what they want to do. And I'd
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: love to get a talk back about this because I
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: know I do. I have like a list. I have
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: a top 10 list of things I would do. So
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: do me a favor and leave us a talk back.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: If you are the same or if you have a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: couple of things that you will definitely do, you go
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: to the iHeartRadio app, you look for 710WOR. And then
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the talkback page. There's a little red microphone. You record
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: what you want to say. If you don't like it,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: you can record it again. And then we play you
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: on the air. And the best talkback of the day
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: wins a Curtis Lewin, Larry Menti, and the Morning T-shirt.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: The best talkback of the week. That's today. We're going
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to figure that out. Takes home a C-Crane radio. So
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: you might want to get in on that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Chris, this may be your permanent position here now. So
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: get prepared.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Early, you know, early to bed, early to rise, because
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: you've got to get in here really early, Chris. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: have a feeling that Natalie is halfway out the door. Hey, look,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I've been right so far in terms of the election results.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I'm on a roll here. Yeah, you're on a hot streak. Yeah,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: you're going to blow it in this one. You've got
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: like a one in 200,000, more than that, one in
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: two million chance. We'll know on Monday, won't we? Yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: we'll know on Monday. Because if she isn't here on Monday,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: that's it. She's the winner.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Anyway, talking about winners, remember the big story we talked
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: about involving Jersey where the Republicans got wiped out? Except
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: for Chris Smith, who you pointed out, doesn't want anybody
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: to know about him. He flies under the radar screen,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the congressman from, what is that, Ocean.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: County, right? Yeah, Ocean County. He is the longest-serving congressman.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Tie for it right now. the longest-serving congressman. He's won
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: like 48 elections.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: But there was that battle royale in the community meeting,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: which you must host, you know, when you are the
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: mayor of a village, a township, a small municipality, where
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the gadflies show up, where the.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: People can be heard.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Remember Mayor Bianchini, who got into fisticuffs, wanted to kill
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the guy who was asking questions?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: He wanted to get in fisticuffs. They held him back.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: The cops held him back. Well, he was up for re-election.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Guess what happened? Yeah, he lost. He lost to the Democrats.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: A wipeout! A wipeout! Well, the problem is it's a
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: wipeout across the country. I mean, all the attention has
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: been on Congress, of course, and then the governor's races,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: but nobody's talked about What has happened in the state
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: legislators and in the state senates and at the county level,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: this was pervasive. I mean, it was across the country. So,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and it was deep. And listen, this kind of stuff
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: has happened before. I mean, you know, I push back
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: all the time and everybody's saying this is the biggest
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: that ever happened because it's not. It's far from it.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: This has happened under FDR. It's happened under Reagan. It
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: has happened under Clinton. It happened twice under Obama. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: this is not unusual. This is democracy. But the fact
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: that it was so deep and went into municipalities, went
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: into counties where Republicans were losing and losing and losing
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: all across the country.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Or, as we're going to be talking about later, Mike
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Lawler yesterday on CNN said, Jesus Christ couldn't have won
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: this election, meaning his election that involves Rockland County, Putnam County.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And Westchester.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And remember, he is the most in the middle Republican
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: you're going to find. You'll find him on MS Now, CNN,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Fox News. You know, he always walks that fine line.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He said Jesus Christ couldn't have won the election. And
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I believe him on that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't. I think Jesus Christ would be a
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: great candidate.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: No, I want that to stick to him because the
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: last person who used Jesus Christ in a reference, remember,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: was John Lennon of the Beatles.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: That's right. He got in trouble for that. The Beatles
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: are bigger than Jesus Christ. Yeah, and the statement he
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: was making, he's always been, even before he died, he
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: was talking about that, how upset he was about that,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: how he was misquoted and the fact that he was
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: misunderstood and He thought that was a bad thing. Like,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: that's ridiculous. He wasn't bragging, which is the way that
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: the media played it at the time. But yeah, I mean,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the Republicans have to lick their wounds right now, but
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: now the Republicans have to lead. And did Natalie win
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: the lottery? I doubt it, but I'd love it if
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: it happened because— By the way, did I ever mention
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: she's my favorite person.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: In the world?
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: In the whole world! Right now she is, in case
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: she won the lottery. Oh, you're going to send that
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: over to her, that guy, right? Yes, that's right. I'm
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: going to do a little text. Did I ever tell
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: you how much I love you?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Well, wouldn't that be ironic if she moved down to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Florida to be near her parents, which so many children do,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: if they have the wherewithal, and she's now joining John
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Gambling for brunch here. In the morning, because remember, he decided,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: morning radio, no, it's killing me. Larry, that one day
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: you took off for a family event. We were lucky
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: enough to get the iconic John Gambling on.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: And I said, why'd you leave? You were at the
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: top of your game, John. He goes, it was killing me.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And both he and I agreed it's going to take
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: 10 years off our life. Larry, be prepared. It's going
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: to take 10 years off your life doing Morning Tribe.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: And I can just see it somewhere in the west
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: coast of Florida having brunch.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Natalie, with one of the many gambling she's worked with
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: over the years.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Here at W.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Here at WOR. You know what? I pray that's true.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I hope that's true. I doubt that's true. So we'll
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: probably see Natalie. And as far as taking 10 years
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: off my life, it already has. This week, doing the
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: marathon and then doing the election took 10 years off
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: my life. I'm finally feeling it this morning. When we
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: come back, when you fly to Logan Airport, they actually
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: had a contest to see who would be the voice
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: over the announcers, the people that would welcome you to
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Logan Airport and to welcome you to Boston. Man.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: If we had that kind of contest here, who should
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: we have? Who would win? We're going to talk about
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: that when we come back. Plus a chance to see
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Def Leppard and the Goo Goo Dolls at 825. Curtis
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Sliwa and Larry Minty. They're better together.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: On 710WOR.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Right on time, Larry.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Our colleague here, WOR, Rob Astorino, has been through some grueling.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: political battles, but I want to start out first, Rabbi,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: saluting your colleague Mike Lawler, not only for him being
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: so gracious in defeat early in the night, but then
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: had a chance to explain it, because I saw it
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: on my own thread with the malfunctioning of the machines
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: early on election day. The thread was out, you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I saw the stop the steal hats. He didn't want
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: to start screaming fraud. The election deniers were out. See,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: they're doing it again. It's 2020. And he said, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: wasn't going to feed the beast of the conspiratorial thinking.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I knew where my votes were and I knew where
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: they weren't. And I came out and I acknowledged defeat
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: and I was gracious to my adversary. I thought he
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: really did a service to the whole.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Nation, Rob.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, look, you know what?
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: And I talked to Mike yesterday. We had a nice, good,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: long conversation. I mean, we've been friends for a very
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: long time and It's hard. I've been through it and
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: he's been through it now. $ 65 million was spent in
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: that race all in. $ 65 million for that congressional race.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: In the end, honestly, I don't think it would have
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: mattered if they put a billion.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Dollars into that congressional race.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: It was what it was on Tuesday. When you watch
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: those zombie movies, it opens up. It's orange on the
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: screen and It's like tumbleweeds and torn out cities. That's
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: kind of what it looks like for Republicans on Tuesday
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: and Wednesday now. It was an apocalypse almost. Nothing could
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: have changed the outcome or the direction Tuesday.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: We didn't know that. We knew it was going to
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: be a tough environment.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: None of us knew it was going to be so
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: bad until the first return started coming in in Florida.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: On that note, Mike Lawley yesterday said, Jesus Christ couldn't
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: have won that Republican seat, meaning his seat in the
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: 17th Congressional District.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: He's right, but Satan won. Oh, I didn't say that.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Rob, I can't believe you've played into this whole thing.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: An apocalypse? Seriously?
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: I heard you guys arguing yesterday.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: I heard you guys arguing about this yesterday.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Hold on a minute.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Am I talking to Robinson Crusoe?
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Listen to me. Listen to me. This has happened to Reagan.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: It has happened to FDR. It's happened to Eisenhower. It's
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: actually pretty common. This doesn't make the top ten.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: No, but here's why I think it was very brutal
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and it could have longer lasting because it wasn't just
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: that we lost particular areas. We lost in the heartland.
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: We lost in the Midwest.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: But more significantly, Texas committed suicide on Tuesday night. Economically,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: that is the state everyone was going to, which was
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: part of the problem, maybe. But what they decided to do,
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: it wasn't just sending Tallarico to the Senate. It was
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: literally overturning the entire table and breaking everything.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: That was working.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: So up and down, the Republicans are all out.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: Including in the state legislature.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Texas now, if Texas holds, and in two years, they
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: got a redistrict. Now they control all the redistricting. They
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: control all the power statewide for a presidential election. So
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: if the Democrats take Texas and the Electoral College vote,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: You tell me how the Republicans are going to win nationally.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: No, I get it. Believe me, I understand it. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: understand it. I'm just saying that everybody thinks this is historic.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Everybody thinks this is the biggest ever. It's not. It's
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: nowhere close to the biggest ever. There had to be
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: resets many, many, many times. And what happens over the
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: next two years is going to determine that. Like when
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Obama had two awful midterms in a row.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Yes. And by the way, you know, there are you
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: can ride a wave or you could you could be
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: just completely drowned by it. And I've had both when
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I got elected county executive. I mean, look, we defy
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: the odds. Why? Because Obama got elected in 09. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: was I'm sorry, in 08. I was running the following
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: year and I you know, there was a big issue
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: that I was running on with the HUD settlement. But
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: it was also a backlash against Obama. So I that's
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: how I won in a two and a half to
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: one Democratic county. But then in 17, Trump got in.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: In 16, I'm running for re-election.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: We had good numbers, but like Mike, same thing, good numbers.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: But you can't keep up with the volume of people coming.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Out to send a message, especially the Democrats.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of what happened. But if you look
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: around the country, Republicans did not come out in many ways.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: They didn't come out. Some Republicans flipped their vote to Democrats.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: And independents went, you know, went big on to the left.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: So and obviously Democrats were foaming at the mouth to
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: vote all week. And you just you cannot keep up
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: with that. Right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Again, it's happened before, though.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it does.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Your friend, my friend, Mike Lawler's friend, Elise Stefanik, the congresswoman,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: came out firing her Gatling guns.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: She said there needs.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: To be a generational change. Goodbye, Ed Cox. I will
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: help the GOP get back on its feet.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: She recommended Mike Lawler become the chairman of the state GOP.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: He's well familiar, as you are, with all 62 counties.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: The battle is on for what is left of the GOP.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: And obviously she took shots at Blakeman. And then Blakeman said, oh, man,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: let me tell you something. She had one moment of
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: glory in what was otherwise an unremarkable career.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Blakeman, shut the hell up.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Look, this is what happens when we get our ass kicked, right?
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Nationally, we're going to go through this. Here, nothing's really changed,
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: and that's been very frustrating. It's hard. I mean, you're
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: in a blue state, deep blue state. It's hard to
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: win as it is.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: And then when you have divisions, and we've had that
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: in this state party and even.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: With the conservative party.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, at times we're battling with the conservative party.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: We can't win together, let alone alone. So That's going
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: to happen.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Do I think Ed Cox should stay as chairman anymore?
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: I love Ed. I've known Ed a long time.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I do think it's time for a change. I do
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: think we need somebody else in there. Whether it's Mike Lawler,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I doubt he would do that.
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think he should do that, quite frankly. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: think he should take a very deep breath, you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: go back into the real world, provide for your family, relax.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: He's young. He can come back at some point, and
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: he should.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: But, you know, the party has to be, the party has.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: To be fixed nationally. Now we need to, and here
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: in New York.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: State, Rob, I don't know if you were listening yesterday. Oh,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: of course you were. I mean, why wouldn't you be right?
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Of course, of course you were listening yesterday, but Curtis
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: suggested that you be the new chair of the Republican
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: party in New York city. And I thought to myself,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: New York state, New York state.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Of course, New York state. And I thought to myself,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Why would he possibly do that? He's rolling in the
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: big bucks with the seven jobs he has.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: Especially the WOR one, right?
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: If there's any sharp objects near you in the studio, Larry,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: can you pick it up and stab him.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: In the eye?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Well, there's always Constantino, the last mega man standing. Rob,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I've been warning our audience. This is the worst candidate
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen. He replaced Stefanik as Trump picked him
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: against the Republican Assemblyman. Ladies and gentlemen, you must go
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: on the thread and see. You think George Santos was bad?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: This guy's 10 times worse.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Honestly, and the El-Sayed stuff. Did you see El-Sayed's, quote,
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: victory speech? You know, I've always said thou shall not
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: gloat in victory, nor sulk in defeat.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: I just think you have to have grace. He has none.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: El-Sayed screaming in Arabic and telling Mike Rogers to go,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: you know, retire in his 10 homes, which doesn't.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Exist.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: It's just so frustrating. I mean, we're so far off
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: on moorings in this country. And two years from now,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: that's it. That is the threshold two years from now.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: They will hold the Senate, the Democrats. They likely will
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: hold the House. And if a Democrat president gets elected
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: and they have the trifecta, then they're going to do
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: everything that they say they would do. There'll be too
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: much pressure not to. And this country will no longer be.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's not hyperbole anymore to say it because
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: they're telling us what they want to do.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: So this country will.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: You're going to make me stab myself. What are you
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: talking about? Is this Rob Astorino?
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Well, you don't think they would add Washington, D.C., and
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Puerto Rico?
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: Of course they will. You don't think they'll stack the
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Supreme Court?
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I do. I do. I do. I don't think it's
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: going to happen. That's all. I think that there's– listen,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: can we rebuild and be a little bit more optimistic, Rob?
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Not today. I'm so depressed.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: Become chairman of the New York State GOP. Thanks a lot, Rob.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Have a great weekend. Have a great show over the weekend.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: First, congratulations to Denise Maurer in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: You just won a pair of tickets to see a
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: great double bill, Def Leppard and the Goo Goo Dolls,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: March 13th at the Prudential Center. Tickets on sale at
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Ticketmaster.com Monday at 825. Tickets to see Tommy James and
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the Shondells next week.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Now let's get to Joe Neumeier, film journalist and WOR
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: movie minute host. Hey, Joe, listen, I know you want
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: to talk about the movies coming out this weekend, but
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I just want to talk about a movie. It's a
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: documentary that you would have already talked about before I know,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: but I didn't know it would be this big. Number
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: one at the box office again. You can see everything. Now,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I know there's been bigger documentaries. It's made 64 million
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: so far, and there's been bigger ones, Michael Jackson just recently.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: But the fact that it's made 64 million and it
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: calls itself an American experimental meta-documentary, I don't even know
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: what that means. Is it really that good?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Uh, I don't think so, but I think it's interesting.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: I think it is, it has become something, and this
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: is like the young people kind of go into obsession
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: and back rooms and things like that. People, especially like
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Gen Z and a little older are really going.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: To this film.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: And I think they don't even, they don't need to
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: know anything about what it's about. So briefly, it's about,
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: remember Elizabeth Holmes? She was the woman who made up
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: the thing about the blood test thing called Thanatos or something, which.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Sounds like an Avengers villain. Like, sounds like Thanos. So,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: but it was a made up thing.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: So this guy, Nathan Fielder, who's, who's sort of a,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: like a, a guy who does like, I've never seen
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: his stuff on TV, but people like him. He's sort
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: of like vaguely a documentarian comedian guy. Um, Moved into
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: her house with her and her boyfriend for like the
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: month before she went to prison. And it has become
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: this sort of phenomenon. It's three hours long. At the
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: screening that I saw, I saw it at a regular
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: screening with people. People applauded at the end. They were
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: really kind of laughing with it. It's sort of a
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: documentary of discomfort, right? and she's really strange in the movie,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: and then it takes a turn. I don't want to
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: ruin it for anybody, but it takes an interesting turn
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: when the actress Amanda Seyfried shows up, who had played
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: Elizabeth Holmes in a Hulu thing. So it's really kind
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: of shocking to me. It kind of makes me feel
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: good about audiences that they're going to see something really
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: interesting like this, but I really don't know why this
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: has caught on. I think it's about wanting to sort
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: of see somebody like a bug under the glass, kind
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: of be a little bit sort of uncomfortable in these
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: strange situations. it is funny at points, but it is
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: a very interesting and strange film to even call it
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: a documentary is a little bit, a little bit off.
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: It is a documentary, but it's not like any, any
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: documentary you've ever seen before. It's a very interesting thing
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: that it's become the, it's going to win Oscars. It's
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: going to, it's, you know, maybe even for Amanda Seyfried,
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: which is very strange to be, to be winning an
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: Oscar for playing somebody in a documentary. It's a very
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: strange thing, but A strange phenomenon that I think is
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: just sort of interesting about people wanting to go back
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: to the movies this year, right? People are going back
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: for even this.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, so you didn't like it yourself, huh, Joe?
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I thought it was okay.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: I thought it was okay.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Look, it's no Spider-Man brand new day. Let's put it
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: that way.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Well, let's go to your choices because it's an opportunity
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: to go out and see these this weekend.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Wild Horses 9.
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, just one. Just Wild Horse. Wild Horse 9. Guys,
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: I told you last week, you're going to think Neumeier's
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: had too much coffee. There are two five-star movies opening
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: this week after last week's five-star movie. First one is
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: called Wild Horse 9, and it's with John Malkovich and
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Sam Rockwell, and they play CIA guys in 1973, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: Malkovich's character is sick, so he kind of wants to
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: have sort of one last sort of hang out and
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: and and and kind of get his stuff together before
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: before the end. And that's not ruining anything that sort of,
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: you know, revealed. And it's it's the two of them
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: are hanging out on Easter Island, which those big giant statues.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: But it's a it's an.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Action movie and it's thoughtful and it's funny and it's
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: made by the filmmaker who did In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: and uh he did last he did was the banshees
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: of in a sharon it's a really fun movie and
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: malkovich could win an oscar for this for best actor
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: he's been nominated twice before uh most recently for in
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: the line of fire back in the 90s so it's
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: a really fun movie and it's and it's a great
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: hangout movie the second one is i play rocky have
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: you guys heard about this no i play rocky no
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: oh my god it's great It is it's a movie
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: about the making of Rocky in the early 70s. It's
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: about Stallone, who was not on board really as anything.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: He's not an executive producer. But this kid named Anthony Ippolito,
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: who oddly enough played the young Al Pacino in a
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: TV thing about the making of The Godfather, is fantastic.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: He plays the young Stallone who's working hard as an actor.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: He's he's doing a porn thing at once. He's living
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: on the street and he's he decides to write a
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: movie called Rocky. And he gets it into the hands
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: of some Hollywood producers. And it's about how they will
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: make the movie, but not with him. And he is
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: insisting that he plays Rocky. And he knows it's his shot.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: It echoes the actual story of Rocky, of that great
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Oscar-winning movie of 1976. And it's really terrific. Matt Dillon
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: plays his dad. It's a movie about the making of movies,
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: but it's so entertaining and it's terrific. And it does
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: echo the... You see him, like, filming this, running up
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: the steps in Philadelphia. You see all the problems they
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: had trying to get this thing going. They said if
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: you go one day over budget or one day over
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: schedule or a dollar over budget, we're replacing you with
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: Ryan O'Neill.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Or somebody else. And Stallone, like... It's fantastic.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: It's so good. It's so funny. And so Stallone was like,
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: who was like, you know, eating scraps. He was really,
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: you know, he was a nothing to actor. And now
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: of course, look who he is. He's a, he's a superstar,
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: but this is about that moment in time.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Five stars.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I'm all in. I'm all in. I did it. I,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: the first documentary I ever did was a short documentary
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: on the making of Rocky when I was at access Hollywood.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. So all these stories you just told, I know,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: but man, I, I am completely all in. How about
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: James Bond? Is there going to be another James Bond
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: movie and who's going to play him?
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: There is, and it looks like, I mean, it has
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: not been confirmed yet. It looks like it's going to
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: be this actor named Callum Turner, who's got, like, huge ears,
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: and he's 36 years old. Maybe he'll be fine. He's
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: never impressed me in any of the things he did.
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: He did a movie called One Night Only earlier this year.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: You know, it has not been officially announced. My problem
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: with all these guys that they've been kind of floating
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: is that they don't feel like Sean Connery or even
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: George Lazenby. Like, they don't feel like guys who can
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: wear a tuxedo. They feel like kids. um and i
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: think that's maybe something about the acting class of of
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: you know 2026 i just think that that this guy
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: callum turner is probably just the least of their of
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: their offers i think the other guys were a little
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: bit better jack loudon was one of them the guy
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: from slow horses but if you're going who callum turner
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: who i mean that's probably to their advantage but i
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: don't think he's a he's a good choice.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Oh so large ears huh large ears you know what
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: that means large ears huh not Come on, Joe.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Tell me. I don't know, Curtis. I don't know.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Large, large. Large ears.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Money pennies?
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Large money pennies?
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Large.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I died. No, below the navel, pal.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: Joe Neumeier. Just think of that. Like Milton Berle? Exactly.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, remember, Milton was the most famous drag.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Queen of all. True, speaking of drag queens.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Anyway, Joe Neumeier, I appreciate that. So five-star movies, we're
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: going to hold him to the test as to whether
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: they actually prove at the box office to have earned
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: that status.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, the Oscar movies never do.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: But fingers crossed on I Play Rocky, guys. Go and
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: see it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: Honestly, it's the best thing you can do for yourself
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: this week is I Play Rocky.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: 100%.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Five stars. I'd give it 10 if I could. It's fantastic.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I'm in.
