• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Do we know the name of the winner yet?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Not yet. Nobody has come forward. Nobody has come forward.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: We do know where it was purchased now. At a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Wegmans grocery store in Montvale, New Jersey, which is really
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: just across the river.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Wegmans. That's a great supermarket. And if you're into salads,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: un salad, you want to go to Wegmans if you're
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: going to any supermarket. They have the best selection of
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: greens and all the things you would put in a salad.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: And a food bar. I mean, you go there and
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you can get Mexican food. You can get Indian food.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: They have the most extensive food bar I have ever seen.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So let's trace previous winners who have all of a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: sudden gone MIA. We know what happens. They contact a lawyer.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: The lawyer says, hey, we need a financial planner. You
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: need to basically be in the witness protection program. Don't
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: let anybody know where you are. Plan on moving. You
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: will get deluged with people you forgot all about who
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: are suddenly your very best friends. So plan. Plan potentially
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: on moving out and starting a new life with all
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the money you're going to have. And then they tell
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you how much you're going to be paid in taxes.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: In New Jersey, you don't have to have your name released.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You have that option. Not every state has that. Most
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: states are getting it now, but not every state has that.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So you don't have to have your name out. And
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: do you know who the director of the Lottery Commission
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is in New Jersey? Guess what his name is?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: No. Jim Carrey.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Jim Carrey. Does he look like Jim Carrey?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: No. But, you know, he's got a good personality. This
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: is what he said yesterday.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Check your tickets, because prizes for Powerball range from $ 4
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and up, all the way up to $ 847 million. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: make sure you check the ticket.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You can go to any lottery retailer, scan your ticket
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: at the scanner, and you can find out.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe you won $ 4. Maybe you won $ 847 million.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: It is very possible, he said, because this has happened before.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It is very possible, if it's not Natalie. If it's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: not Natalie, because believe me, she would have checked her ticket.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And she only buys one at a time. You're kidding.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: That would be amazing. Yeah, no, she buys one. Most
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: people buy like $ 20 worth of them.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Wait a second, Larry. Apparently the winner only bought the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: one ticket.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: The last time. The last time they won, not this time.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh. Uh-oh. I'm telling you. And Natalie loves her family
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and her family loves her. This is not a dysfunctional family.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Like you don't want to go with daddy and mommy
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: wherever they went to retire down in Florida. Right. It's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: now costly to move to Florida. It's not like it
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: used to be. It's up there. I could easily see
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the Segway taking place and she'll be joining John Gambling
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in retirement down there. I'm telling you, I feel it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I feel it in my bones.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Well, the fact that she texted me at 2.44 in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the morning leads me to believe that, no, she didn't win.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Unless she's up because she's so excited. Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be doing any work if I won the lottery.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: She was messaging us about work stuff, so I don't know.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: That would not be me. I have a feeling it's
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: somebody that hasn't checked their ticket yet.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: That's the thing.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, Larry. You've been with
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Natalie a long time. She plays the lottery. You play
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the lottery. Did she ever say what she would do
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: with her winnings? Did she ever say that?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: The only one thing she said to me, which is
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: so Pure Natalie. She said, the first thing I would do,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: now most people would say, I'm going to buy a yacht.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get a nice house. I'm going to move.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to invest it all. She said I would
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: pay off my kids' student loans.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. And then she could really cut all
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: ties and leave. Hey, kids, you're on your own. I'm
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: going to give you a little nest egg. I'm paying
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: off all your student loans. You don't need to be
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: dependent on me anymore. You're going to have your own nest.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: We're going to invest it so it makes money on
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: its own. I'm out of here. I'm down in Florida.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people that play the lottery
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: already have it lined up what they want to do.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And I'd love to get a talk back about this
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: because I know I do. I have like a list.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I have a top 10 list of things I would do.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So do me a favor and leave us a talk back.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: If you are the same or if you have a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: couple of things that you will definitely do, you go
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to the iHeartRadio app, you look for 710WOR, And then
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the talkback page. There's a little red microphone. You record
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: what you want to say. If you don't like it,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: you can record it again. And then we play you
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: on the air. And the best talkback of the day
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: wins a Curtis Lewin, Larry Menti, and the Morning T-shirt.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: The best talkback of the week. That's today. We're going
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to figure that out. Takes home a C-Crane radio. So
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you might want to get in on that. Chris, this
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: may be your permanent position here now. So get prepared. Okay.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Early, you know, early to bed, early to rise, because
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you've got to get in here really early, Chris. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: have a feeling that Natalie is halfway out the door. Hey, look,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I've been right so far in terms of the election results.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm on a roll here.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're on a high streak. Yeah, you're going to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: blow it in this one. You've got like a one
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in 200,000, more than that, one in two million chance.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: We'll know on Monday, won't we?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll know on Monday.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Because if she isn't here on Monday, that's it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: She's the winner.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Anyway, talking about winners, remember the big story we talked
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: about involving Jersey where the Republicans got wiped out? Except
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: for Chris Smith, who you pointed out, doesn't want anybody to.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Know about him.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: He flies under the radar screen, the congressman from, what
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: is that, Ocean County, right?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ocean County. He is the longest serving congressman. Tie
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: for it right now. the longest-serving congressman. He's won like
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: 48 elections.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: But there was that battle royale in the community meeting,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: which you must host, you know, when you are the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: mayor of a village, a township, a small municipality, where
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the gadflies show up, where the people can be heard.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Remember Mayor Bianchini, who got into fisticuffs, wanted to kill
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the guy who was asking questions?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: He wanted to get in fisticuffs. They held him back.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: The cops held him back. Well, he was up for re-election.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Guess what happened?
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he lost.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: He lost to the Democrats.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: A wipeout!
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: A wipeout!
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Well, the problem is it's a wipeout across the country.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, all the attention has been on Congress, of course,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and then the governor's races, but nobody's talked about it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: What has happened in the state legislators and in the
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: state senates and at the county level, this was pervasive.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was across the country. So, and it
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: was deep. And listen, this kind of stuff has happened before.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I push back all the time
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and everybody's saying this is the biggest that ever happened
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: because it's not. It's far from it. This has happened
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: under FDR. It's happened under Reagan. It has happened under Clinton.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: It happened twice under Obama. So this is not unusual.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: This is democracy. But the fact that it was so
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: deep and went into municipalities, went into counties where Republicans
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: were losing and losing and losing all across the country.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Or as we're going to be talking about later. Mike
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Lawler yesterday on CNN said Jesus Christ couldn't have won
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this election, meaning his election that involves Rockland County, Putnam
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and Westchester. And remember, he is the most in the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: middle Republican you're going to find. You'll find him on
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: MS Now, CNN, Fox News. You know, he always walks
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: out finally. He said Jesus Christ couldn't have won the election.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And I believe him on that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't. I think Jesus Christ would be a
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: great candidate.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: No, I want that to stick to him because the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: last person who used Jesus Christ in a reference, remember,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: was John Lennon of the Beatles.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: That's right. He got in trouble for that.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: The Beatles are bigger. than Jesus Christ.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the statement he was making, he's always been,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: even before he died, he was talking about that, how
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: upset he was about that, how he was misquoted and
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the fact that he was misunderstood. He thought that was
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a bad thing. Like, that's ridiculous. He wasn't bragging, which
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: is the way that the media played it at the time.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, the Republicans have to lick their
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: wounds right now, but now the Republicans have to lead.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And did Natalie win the lottery? I doubt it. But
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I'd love it if it happened because, by the way,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: did I ever mention she's my favorite person in the world?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: In the whole world.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Right now she is in case she won the lottery.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're going to send that over to her, that guy, right?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's right. I'm going to do a little text.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Did I ever tell you how much I love you?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But wouldn't that be ironic if she moved down to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Florida to be near her parents, which so many children do,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: if they have the wherewithal, and she's now joining John
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Gambling for brunch. In the morning, because remember, he decided,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: morning radio, no, it's killing me. Larry, that one day
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you took off for a family event. We were lucky
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: enough to get the iconic John Gambling on. And I said,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: why'd you leave? You were at the top of your game, John.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: He goes, it was killing me. And both he and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I agreed, it's going to take 10 years off our life. Larry,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: be prepared. It's going to take 10 years off your life.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: doing Morning Tribe. And I can just see it somewhere
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: in the west coast of Florida, having brunch, Natalie with
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: one of the many gambling she's worked with over the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: years here at WOR. You know what?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I pray that's true. I hope that's true. I doubt
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that's true. So we'll probably see, Natalie. And as far
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: as taking 10 years off my life, it already has.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: This week, doing the marathon and then doing the election
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: took 10 years off my life. I'm finally feeling it
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: this morning. When we come back, when you fly to
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Logan Airport, they actually had a contest to see who
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: would be the voice over the announcers, the people that
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: would welcome you to Logan Airport and to welcome you
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: to Boston.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: If we had that kind of contest here, who should
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: we have? Who would win? We're going to talk about
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: that when we come back. Plus a chance to see
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Def Leppard and the Goo Goo Dolls at 825.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: This has been a podcast from WOR.
