  Speaker 1: Our great friend, the very talented Janice Dean. Janice, you
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: are Canadian. Are you a big Neil Young fan?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: That's a terrible Neil Young song.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: What do you like? Do you like Harvest Moon? What
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: do you like?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: You know, he's fine. He did a good job when
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: he was with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: He did that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: He wrote that song, too, which was good with the
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: 25-year commemoration of 9-11 coming up. He wrote that song
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: about the United Flight 93 passengers.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Let's roll. Remember that?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: A wonderful song by Neil Young. I'm a Rush fan.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And I love that they're touring. And I was a
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: little worried because I thought, how can they tour without
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Neil Peart? I mean, how was that possible? I was
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: actually mad at them. But this drummer that is subbing
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: in for the great Neil Peart, who we lost to young,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: she's fantastic.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: She is.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Good for Rush. Yeah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Lou said that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Lou said she was really good. And we play Rush
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: here all the time. We love Limelight. And don't forget
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: the song that your old favorite, the I-Man, used every
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: morning to start his show, Tom Sawyer by Rush.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: You know what, Sid? It's 24 years ago, I think
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: this week, that I was doing my auditions for I
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Miss in the Morning.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Do you believe that? Is that right? Yeah. I do
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: believe that.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Because I got the job the first week of September.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: The year after 9-11, so it would have been 2002
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: you got the job with Amos.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And then when did you get the Fox News? When
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: was that?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: That was 2004, January of 2004. So I was with
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: you guys for like a year and a couple of months. Right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: The longest year of my life. Many, many thousands of
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: dollars in therapy.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Trust me. I'm right there with you. But it did
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: prepare you for the real world. Let's put it that way.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And it brought us together.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Brought us together. That's right.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And Lou and Janice again.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Come on. How about that? Where's my therapy? You get
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it every morning right here with me, Louis, as you know.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And, of course, we miss Bernard. We love you, Bernard.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we love Bernie, of course. Bernie's going to be gone.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: November will be, is it four years already? Four years.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe five.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Four in November. Yeah, four in November.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Do you think him and the I-Man are, like, having
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: fun up there?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: No doubt. No doubt. You can count on that. You
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: can count on that, Bernard and the I-Man.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Is Armisen heaven?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He did a lot of good things.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, kids with cancer. He did.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I've softened over the years.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Me too.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I really have.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: He brought me to New York. He's the one. Well,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if he loved me.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I think it was just.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Hold on. Who's got something? Wait, wait, wait. Straighten this out.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Recall who fought for you.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Who?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I know you did. Lou, I know that. I know
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you thought I was the dark Canadian horse.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I said it right away.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And I had no chance in a double hockey stick.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, but I said she is the best. He did.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Lou was the one.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, Bernie had nice things to say, too.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: But Lou was the one who really brought you across
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the finish line.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I'm the same way. I've softened, too.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: In fact, you're not going to believe this, but I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: talked to Deirdre and Wyatt yesterday. Once in a while,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: they've congratulated me on making the Hall of Fame and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: the whole thing. And I do admit that a lot
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: of the influence on my career, which has gone well,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: came from Imus.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So the longer he's gone, the more I like him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: It is what it is.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I think I should have stood up for myself more.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And who knows? Maybe I would have, you know, stayed
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: with you guys. I'm not sure. That's hindsight.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: You just don't know. Who knows? A long time ago,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of course. But look, you're doing great things now.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: And I know that you've got a big charity coming up.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: This sounds like it's going to be great.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: All those beautiful clothes you wore on Fox News every
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: morning out there with the fans and doing the weather
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and all that fun stuff.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You're about to auction all that stuff off. Is that right?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yes. So on Tuesday, September 1st at the Harrison in
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Floral Park, I have to tell you, I think I've
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: hoarded a lot of these clothes. Like people are like,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: why did you save all of that stuff? And the
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: reason is because when I find something that fits me,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I keep it and I buy like five of them.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: So I have like... Hundreds of dresses and coats that
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I wore outside doing the weather and skirts and belts
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and jewelry that I'm giving to charity basically for under
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: every piece will be under 50. I would say like
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: dresses 15 to 25. And some of these coats are
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: probably 400, $ 500. And all of the money, every single
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: penny of it is going to go to a cause
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: nursing home warrior. And this woman goes across New York
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and brings pop-ups, shops to nursing homes so that the people,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the residents can come down and shop for free. She's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: an angel here on earth. So all of the clothes
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: that I wore on television going to this great cause,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the Harrison on Tuesday, nothing over $ 50. hundreds of items.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Hugs are for free. There is an admission charge, but
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: open bar and also lots of hors d'oeuvres. And listen,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I know you got a lot of male fans out
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: there listening. Buy the ticket for your wife. She will
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: love you. This is a great present for your wife.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: You'd be surprised. 48% of my listeners are female, believe
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it or not.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Go, girl!
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this isn't the band. We're not talking about the
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Mets and the Yankees, okay? We're talking about something Moms
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: care about and females love and.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Plus I'm so good looking. They love this show. You
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: kidding me? They love it.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: But this specific event, this woman that you're talking about,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: my God, what is her name?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Who is this lady? She's amazing.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: She, she's amazing. Her name is Danielle and she has
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: been in nursing homes for 35 years. She's in a
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: new nutritionist. You should have her on your program. She
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: started this charity because she realized that a lot of
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: these residents don't have visitors, don't have family, and they
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: barely get like stipends for clothing. So she goes in
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and she gets, you know, clothes from all over the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: place from big pot, big chains. And she, barely use
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: clothes and they go in and they think they have
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: to pay for, you know, these items and they're for free.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: So she's just amazing. Her cause is nursing home warrior,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: lots of volunteers, but it just warms my heart because,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you know, I lost my in-laws in nursing homes during
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the pandemic. So I'm trying to give back to all
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of those, you know, those residents that some are, you know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: some of them are left behind and we have to
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: love them too.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: How many boats, Janice Dean, did Christopher Columbus use in
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: 1492 in his courageous trip when he found America?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: How many boats?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You're asking me trivia right now?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Well, you've heard of the Nina, correct?
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking it was one boat.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: No, you've heard of the Nina, yes?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: You've heard of the Pinta? Yes?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Nope.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow, you see it from Canada.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I thought you were going to ask me questions about Canada.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: No, because there were three boats. The Nina, the Pinta,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: and the Santa Maria. Those were the three boats.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I knew the Santa Maria.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Listen, those are the three boats that Christopher Columbus used
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: on his courageous trek when he found America in 1492.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Three boats.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Three boats unless you ask one man. Are you prepared
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: to listen to this?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I win a prize.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: No, you're not going to win a prize.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: But you're going to be like, oh, my God.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Cut number one.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Lou.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Does it piss you off when people try to... On Columbus?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Like Native Americans and stuff? Christopher Columbus, right?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: He was a degenerate. He had his problems.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: He had his eccentricities.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: He was Jewish.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Did you know that?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It's actually fake.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: They try to say he's.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Jewish, but he's not. No, he had a brush. Trust me.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: He had to drop his drawers to prove that. He
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: had a wrist.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Some people just like that style. You know, back then.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: People like a hoodless style.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: You know, why do you think he had to escape
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Spain in 1492 when Queen.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Isabella and King Ferdinand launched the Inquisition on your people
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and said either convert or die? And he decided to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: leave with the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria. Well,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: there's three, actually, the Santa and the Maria. No, no,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you're wrong. No, no, Santa Maria was the third one.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa, and the Maria. The Nina,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. That's right. Four of
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the chefs. Three of them made it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Not true. As he went. Oh, so he called one
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the Santa Maria after one lot. He combined the names?
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Excuse me?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Are you trying to instruct me on the hero of
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: my peeps, Christopher Columbus?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I thought you, so you're Jewish. No, he is Jewish.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So I know who this guy is. His name is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Andrew Friedland, but I know you recognize the other voice.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I know you love him. That's fine. I don't care.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I don't dislike him either. But I mean, this moron actually.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Said there were four boats and the Santa and Maria
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: were different boats. That's the first thing you learn. That's
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: the first thing you and he's a smart guy. I'm
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: the first to admit it, Janice. No one knows more
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: about the history of New York than Curtis.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody. He's a very smart guy. How do you screw
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that up? I don't know.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: When was that? Yesterday. No.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, this week. This week. So he's getting murdered.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Was it a joke?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: He wasn't joking.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: No.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: He's getting killed all over social media. Again, I'm the
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: person to admit he's a smart guy. He's a much
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: smarter history.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Guy than I am. I'll say it. He is. But, no,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: there were three boats, not four, in the Santa Maria.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: It was one boat.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: You know what they say. All press is good press.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: That's not true. Trust me, Janice.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: No.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Trust me. Just trust me. If anybody can tell you
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: that's not true, it's me. One more time, let's go
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: over this. Really, it's an incredible day you've got coming
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: up on Tuesday and how folks can come by and
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: enjoy this.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: This is really great stuff, Janice. Yes.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And there's two sessions, by the way. So 4 to
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: 6 p.m. and then 7 to 9 p.m. All new
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: stuff in both sessions. So you're not going to come
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: into the first session and take everything. We're going to
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: hold some stuff behind. There's hundreds of items that you
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: can get. If you go on social media, you can
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: see some of the beautiful coats, cashmere 100%. A barely
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: worn outfit and all of it going to charity. It's
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the Harrison and Floral Park, if you've ever been there.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Beautiful restaurant. We've got the whole back room. And it's
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: going to be so much fun. I've got lots of giveaways, too.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: And we'll do some trivia. We'll do the Christopher Columbus
• 11:10
