Hour 2: The Odyssey is breaking records! · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

0:00
Speaker 1: Well, there's good news and bad news almost every day.
0:02
Speaker 1: You can say that about Iran. The good news is
0:05
Speaker 1: that the military escalation that lasted for two weeks, with
0:10
Speaker 1: bombing every single night, over one hundred strikes every single night,
0:15
Speaker 1: over one hundred targets, sometimes as many as one hundred
0:18
Speaker 1: and sixty, that has ended right now. That has ended
0:22
Speaker 1: because Donald Trump says, and I hope this is true,
0:26
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's true. It says that they really
0:30
Speaker 1: really want to make a deal now.
0:32
Speaker 2: They have very few drones left, despite what you see,
0:34
Speaker 2: and every once in a while they're going to set
0:36
Speaker 2: some things up, but they don't have much left. And
0:38
Speaker 2: by the way, they are talking to us right now,
0:40
Speaker 2: they'd love to make a deal. I don't think they're
0:42
Speaker 2: ready to. I don't think it's time yet, but I'm
0:45
Speaker 2: willing to listen. But they cannot have a nuclear weapon.
0:48
Speaker 3: Yeah.
0:48
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also confirmed there are
0:52
Speaker 1: talks still going on, mostly through third parties, but there
0:56
Speaker 1: are talks still going on, and they believe they can
0:59
Speaker 1: still make a deal now. The reason so that is
1:03
Speaker 1: one reason given by the administration that they have ceased
1:08
Speaker 1: firing right now, they've ceased the nightly bombing all the time,
1:11
Speaker 1: and they apparently a big shock in awe day that
1:13
Speaker 1: they were going to have that apparently is off the table.
1:16
Speaker 3: And one of the big.
1:17
Speaker 1: Reasons for it is that a lot of the people
1:20
Speaker 1: in the top brass including Joint chiefs of Staff, Chairman
1:24
Speaker 1: General Dan Kine, went to the White House and they
1:28
Speaker 1: said they warned that further escalation, especially a big shock
1:32
Speaker 1: and awe night, could dangerously deplete patriot missile interceptors and
1:38
Speaker 1: other critical air defense assets in the region. So they
1:42
Speaker 1: were concerned if they go ahead and do this, if
1:45
Speaker 1: they keep bombing, if they have one big night of bombing,
1:49
Speaker 1: that's going to leave everybody vulnerable in that area. And
1:53
Speaker 1: the President was wise and said, okay, we'll stop this
1:58
Speaker 1: for now. We'll hope that the bus can continue. And
2:01
Speaker 1: then there's one last thing. There's another front in the
2:04
Speaker 1: war as well, in Yemen, because the Houthies and if
2:07
Speaker 1: now continued firing on ships, but the one we haven't
2:11
Speaker 1: taken them on as much as the Saldis have. Now
2:14
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if that is a deal right now that look,
2:17
Speaker 1: we're depleted, we shouldn't be firing anymore. We're holding off
2:21
Speaker 1: because of the ceasefire, but Saldis have been taking most
2:25
Speaker 1: of the of the fight to them, to the Houthis,
2:28
Speaker 1: so let's hope that continues. That'd be a wonderful change
2:32
Speaker 1: in us leading the way all the time, Curtis.
2:34
Speaker 4: The only problem is if it now slows ship traffic
2:38
Speaker 4: through the Red Sea as it happened once before, although
2:42
Speaker 4: they seem to be aiming only at Saudi Arabian oil
2:46
Speaker 4: tankers that are going through there because they can't go
2:48
Speaker 4: through the stretch of our moves. We have the blockade
2:51
Speaker 4: and Iran is not permitting any vessels to go through.
2:55
Speaker 4: They're trying to intercept them and cause all kinds of trouble.
2:58
Speaker 4: The other unexpected situation that occurred, and this is troubling
3:03
Speaker 4: to me.
3:03
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was a mistake.
3:06
Speaker 4: Drone may be out of control, but there was an
3:08
Speaker 4: Iranian oil tanker and the Caspian scene. Now we haven't
3:12
Speaker 4: talked about the Kasmian Sea. We've talked about obviously, the
3:15
Speaker 4: Straits of Hermus and the Red Sea, but apparently the
3:21
Speaker 4: Iranians are claiming that it was the Ukraine that struck
3:26
Speaker 4: their oil tanker. Now I don't know if Zelenski is
3:30
Speaker 4: trying to curry favor with Donald Trump, like, hey, I
3:34
Speaker 4: could get involved.
3:35
Speaker 3: My drones are the best in the world, and right
3:36
Speaker 3: now they are.
3:38
Speaker 4: Right now the Ukraine has developed the absolute best drones
3:43
Speaker 4: in the world, which has caused them now to go
3:46
Speaker 4: on the offensive and Russia is on the defensive. I
3:50
Speaker 4: hope this was just a mistake because this would just.
3:53
Speaker 3: Expand the war area.
3:55
Speaker 4: Russia would love this because they're allied with Iran, and
4:00
Speaker 4: this would just cause more problems. So we got to
4:02
Speaker 4: follow that closely. B If it's true, well it's the
4:06
Speaker 4: Iranians claiming this, So if it's true, maywell be you know,
4:09
Speaker 4: an errand to drone. This has happened before, Russian drones
4:13
Speaker 4: errant Ukrainian drones.
4:15
Speaker 3: Who knows.
4:16
Speaker 4: Let's hope for the best that Zelensi's got his He's
4:19
Speaker 4: got enough problems just with Russia. But BB is itching
4:23
Speaker 4: to get involved. He so far has not continued bombing
4:28
Speaker 4: southern Lebanon. It does not appear that Hezbola is bombing
4:32
Speaker 4: northern Israel. But what BB is doing is he's bombing
4:37
Speaker 4: the Gaza and he's sending his IDF troops into the
4:42
Speaker 4: West Bank. Now, the West Bank is important because there
4:44
Speaker 4: are three million Palestinians there. There's like seven hundred and
4:48
Speaker 4: fifty thousand Israeli's mostly settlers, and the settlers have been
4:53
Speaker 4: going into Palestinian villages and they are combating one another.
4:57
Speaker 4: The IDF is going in there. The world cannot it
5:03
Speaker 4: cannot have a flare up there while we're trying to
5:06
Speaker 4: resolve the bigger issue. The bigger issue I think everybody
5:09
Speaker 4: agrees is United States in Iran settling the differences so
5:13
Speaker 4: there can be some normalcy returning. Because look, this is
5:16
Speaker 4: the poll that our news Galadaria has been referring to
5:22
Speaker 4: CBS News, which is no longer totally biased. As you know,
5:26
Speaker 4: there's a little bit of a movement more towards the
5:28
Speaker 4: administration's point of view since the purchase by the was
5:33
Speaker 4: that the Ellison family, I think, yeah, and a U
5:37
Speaker 4: government poll. So pretty much when you break down all
5:40
Speaker 4: the stats, it's a third say let's keep going until
5:45
Speaker 4: Iran concedes more and two thirds of the Americans polls
5:49
Speaker 4: say end it now, let's get out of there, let's
5:52
Speaker 4: get back on track.
5:53
Speaker 3: So that's the problem that Donald Trump has to deal with.
5:56
Speaker 4: Has when ninety days out of the midterm elections, and
6:00
Speaker 4: you don't want the war in Iran, which is not
6:04
Speaker 4: receiving a lot of favorable response from Americans, to be
6:08
Speaker 4: one of the deciding issues as to whether you're going
6:10
Speaker 4: to vote for Republicans or Democrats, especially when it comes
6:15
Speaker 4: to who's going to control the House.
6:17
Speaker 1: The real weird thing about that poll, and it was conflicting.
6:20
Speaker 1: They asked a whole lot of questions, but when they
6:23
Speaker 1: ask people, how do you feel about the war in iranspose,
6:28
Speaker 1: most people said they were uncertain, They really didn't know
6:31
Speaker 1: how they felt. Thirty seven percent were pessimistic, twenty percent
6:36
Speaker 1: were optimistic. So you know they're bad numbers. They're not
6:41
Speaker 1: horrible numbers. He can fix this. He has to have
6:45
Speaker 1: a happy ending. If there's not a happy ending to
6:48
Speaker 1: this story, if the United States doesn't win, it's going
6:51
Speaker 1: to kill the Republicans in the midterms. There's no question
6:53
Speaker 1: about there. It's as much as they feel like because
6:57
Speaker 1: there's other polls out there that show that only the
7:00
Speaker 1: Democrats like socialism. He's gonna take more than that. It's
7:04
Speaker 1: gonna take more than just labeled labeling them as all socialists.
7:07
Speaker 1: Which is all the Republicans are doing right now, and
7:09
Speaker 1: they're hanging their hat on that. They have to be
7:12
Speaker 1: able to talk about food and gas prices coming down,
7:16
Speaker 1: and that has to start, like in two weeks. It
7:20
Speaker 1: has to start sometime in August for to have an
7:22
Speaker 1: effect on the election. So I think Donald Trump, and
7:26
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought this up, because it is not
7:29
Speaker 1: just what's happening on the ground in Iran. It's not
7:32
Speaker 1: just Saudi Arabia, it's not just Israel, it's here at home.
7:36
Speaker 1: He has to be extremely concerned right now over what's
7:40
Speaker 1: happening at home, and he's got about a two week
7:43
Speaker 1: runway that he's got to land this.
7:45
Speaker 4: And in fact, I got a little bit of a
7:48
Speaker 4: sort of insight into the democratic focus of what they're
7:53
Speaker 4: gonna do in the midterm elections.
7:55
Speaker 3: Guess who I show up on the stage.
7:57
Speaker 4: At Brownsville, Brooklyn's Old Night event on Saturday Night hockey Jeffries,
8:04
Speaker 4: and they were introducing him as the next speaker of
8:07
Speaker 4: the House of predominantly black audience, that was his audience.
8:13
Speaker 4: But he was outlying to the audience, and I was
8:15
Speaker 4: watching the response. Remember, there's very very pro Democrat audience
8:19
Speaker 4: African Americans. Uh, it came down to the economy. That
8:24
Speaker 4: was what got most of the response from the crowd.
8:27
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, naturally mentioned Iron not as much, but he
8:31
Speaker 4: came down to the economy and he was hammering away.
8:34
Speaker 4: And so I think as we're ninety days out, we're
8:38
Speaker 4: gonna watch the sprint. The president and all of his
8:41
Speaker 4: men and women are trying what I call the Red Scare.
8:44
Speaker 4: You know, the communists. They're communists everywhere. We must stop
8:47
Speaker 4: the Democrats. They're really communists, or they're not strong enough
8:50
Speaker 4: to defeat the communists within their own hood and the Democrats.
8:54
Speaker 4: We're going to talk about it later this hour with
8:57
Speaker 4: the new candidate who's going to try to beat Susan
9:00
Speaker 4: Collins up in Maine. You know, it's the economy, the economy,
9:04
Speaker 4: the economy, as they swing from the left.
9:07
Speaker 1: So it's smart. The whole thing starts Tuesday, September eighth.
9:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's when it starts.
9:13
Speaker 4: But Iran can monitor our media, we can't really monitor them.
9:18
Speaker 3: It's an in house situation.
9:19
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think it matters as much. I mean,
9:23
Speaker 1: I think this is played up too much that we
9:25
Speaker 1: don't know what they're saying, we don't know what they mean.
9:27
Speaker 1: We don't know what's happening. Look, I trust the people
9:31
Speaker 1: in our government right now, and I trust that we
9:34
Speaker 1: are talking to them because it just makes sense, doesn't it.
9:36
Speaker 4: It makes a lot of sense to the third party says,
9:38
Speaker 4: you know, it's never the best way. But I do
9:41
Speaker 4: believe that they have a better sense of what's going
9:43
Speaker 4: on with us than we do of them, because they
9:47
Speaker 4: now hear oh advance and kin convinced the president, Okay,
9:51
Speaker 4: thirteen nights, let's roll it back. Let's see what diploma
9:55
Speaker 4: she can do. So they're monitoring this, whereas we don't
9:59
Speaker 4: know what the he oh they're talking about, what they're doing,
10:02
Speaker 4: you know, whether they're communicating with.
10:04
Speaker 3: Pigeons sign language. We have no idea.
10:08
Speaker 1: We do know through intelligence that they've been decimated, but
10:13
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to matter to many people in the
10:16
Speaker 1: administration there I shouldn't say administration, because they don't get
10:19
Speaker 1: voted in. Some of the Supreme leaders and the people
10:22
Speaker 1: with the Revolutionary Guard don't get voted in. But they
10:25
Speaker 1: don't care. I mean, they're willing to let the whole
10:28
Speaker 1: country burn to the ground, but they're not going to
10:31
Speaker 1: give in to the Great Satan. So when you have
10:34
Speaker 1: somebody like that in the conversation, it throws everything.
10:39
Speaker 3: Hey way, and I think they're very cogent. They think
10:41
Speaker 3: they can just wait it out.
10:43
Speaker 4: Remember, early on in this process, I use the image
10:46
Speaker 4: of Robert de Niro. Remember Robert de Niro raging bull
10:50
Speaker 4: Jay Klamada after six fights with Sugar Ray Robinson and
10:56
Speaker 4: he's all bloody.
10:58
Speaker 3: We don't Ray. This is what the Irodia just said.
11:02
Speaker 3: Down we're almost out, but were.
11:04
Speaker 1: Still stand and the fact that we have to stop,
11:07
Speaker 1: now that's a big deal when we come back.
11:10
Speaker 3: Have you seen the Odyssey? I was dying till it
11:13
Speaker 3: was this close. Almost saw it.
11:15
Speaker 1: But it's setting records, especially on Imax where everybody wants
11:20
Speaker 1: to watch it. Plus a chance to see Deep Purple
11:22
Speaker 1: in Kansas at a twenty five? Has anybody here seen
11:26
Speaker 1: The Odyssey?
11:27
Speaker 3: Anybody yet? You want to?
11:30
Speaker 4: I do.
11:30
Speaker 3: I don't understand you.
11:32
Speaker 4: You two folks, every weekend you were either one or
11:35
Speaker 4: the other was going to a movie. Now that is
11:38
Speaker 4: the biggest blockbuster ever and neither of you have gone.
11:41
Speaker 4: I'm not a movie guy. I wait until you know
11:44
Speaker 4: it's out there in which you can grab it right
11:47
Speaker 4: off online.
11:48
Speaker 3: I'll tell you you can steal it. I didn't say that.
11:53
Speaker 5: That's for Larry reasons. Mine, honestly is that we usually
11:58
Speaker 5: have a lot of plants in this summer. In the movie,
12:01
Speaker 5: it's a long movie to watch during the.
12:02
Speaker 3: Week for a work week.
12:04
Speaker 1: For me, my reason is it's the first movie ever
12:07
Speaker 1: to be shot entirely on Imax seventy millimeter, and I
12:11
Speaker 1: want to see it in an Imax seventy millimeter theater
12:14
Speaker 1: because the experience. Apparently everybody else does too. It's selling
12:18
Speaker 1: out everywhere, as you know. The tickets are being scalped
12:21
Speaker 1: for hundreds even thousands of dollars in New York to
12:24
Speaker 1: see it in seventy meter millimeter Imax.
12:27
Speaker 3: So I'm going to hold out.
12:29
Speaker 1: But it's sold out everywhere, and the seventy millimeter Imax
12:32
Speaker 1: they start.
12:32
Speaker 3: Early in the morning and they go early the next.
12:35
Speaker 5: Morning, and there are only twenty five theaters that can
12:38
Speaker 5: handle that, you know, version of the movie in the
12:41
Speaker 5: whole country.
12:41
Speaker 4: So I want to hear your excuse, Hilary, what time
12:45
Speaker 4: in the morning were the first shows. I can't believe
12:48
Speaker 4: that they have packed out.
12:49
Speaker 1: Eight o'clock, and I can tell you they're backpacked out
12:52
Speaker 1: because I tried to go see it. Now, a lot
12:54
Speaker 1: of people, especially from New Jersey, go to King of
12:56
Speaker 1: Prussia because you can't get it taken in New York
12:58
Speaker 1: at the seventy millimeter in New York.
13:00
Speaker 3: It's sold out for months.
13:02
Speaker 1: So I went. I looked at just a check. I
13:05
Speaker 1: looked at King of Prussia, and I looked at the
13:07
Speaker 1: eight o'clock in the morning movie and there were four
13:10
Speaker 1: seats right in the center row, right in the middle
13:13
Speaker 1: of the Imax where the sound would be the best.
13:15
Speaker 1: I thought, unbelievable. So I ran upstairs real quick and
13:18
Speaker 1: I said to my sons, you want to go see
13:20
Speaker 1: eight o'clock eight o'clock tomorrow morning? You want to go see?
13:24
Speaker 1: You want to go see the Odyssey on Imax? And they,
13:29
Speaker 1: you know, were tired, and they begrudgingly said yeah, okay.
13:31
Speaker 1: And I called my other son at home and said, hey,
13:34
Speaker 1: do you want to go see? And he said absolutely,
13:36
Speaker 1: And I go and it was sold out.
13:38
Speaker 3: Wow. Now King of Prussia, that's like what the third
13:42
Speaker 3: largest mall in.
13:44
Speaker 1: I think it's after the All of America in Minneapolis. Yeah,
13:49
Speaker 1: and they keep growing. They keep growing, it keeps getting bigger.
13:52
Speaker 3: But no, let me get this straight. You got four
13:55
Speaker 3: ready to go in a good location too, don't rub
13:57
Speaker 3: it in. Instead of just buying it, you could have
14:00
Speaker 3: gone out.
14:00
Speaker 4: Let's say your whole family said, nah, Dad, Pops, not
14:03
Speaker 4: interest shit.
14:04
Speaker 3: You could have stood outside and scalped them. I wasn't
14:06
Speaker 3: gonna go scalp tickets. I wasn't gonna go scalp do
14:10
Speaker 3: it online. Now that's true. That is true. Yeah, it was.
14:13
Speaker 1: I think they were thirty five dollars each, which, by
14:15
Speaker 1: the way, so now if I see it for the
14:18
Speaker 1: next weekend, I'm gonna I'm gonna grab them right away.
14:20
Speaker 1: But everybody wants to see this movie. It has grossed
14:24
Speaker 1: six hundred and thirty nine million dollars worldwide in two weekends.
14:30
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a billion dollar maybe the first two
14:33
Speaker 1: billion dollar movie. I mean, this movie has just taken off.
14:38
Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible. Uh don't.
14:41
Speaker 3: I just mean?
14:42
Speaker 4: A sequel is in the planning stages. Can you do
14:45
Speaker 4: a sequel to the honesty, I'm not sure you can.
14:48
Speaker 4: If the money is there, I think they'll figure out
14:51
Speaker 4: a way to do a sheet rary.
14:52
Speaker 5: You know, I just went I was gonna see if
14:54
Speaker 5: there was any tickets for you, and I just saw
14:57
Speaker 5: a story from this weekend that a pair of at
15:00
Speaker 5: the King of Prussia Imax seventy millimeter Theater.
15:04
Speaker 3: The projector stopped working, which what was showing?
15:08
Speaker 5: You know, I'm trying to do it really quick, they say.
15:10
Speaker 5: Finally they got it back up and running, and on
15:13
Speaker 5: Sunday they started with their eight am show again.
15:16
Speaker 3: Oh good Saturday.
15:18
Speaker 5: You might have not been able to go.
15:19
Speaker 4: It's not the old fashioned projector, is it it is?
15:23
Speaker 3: It's done well.
15:24
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's you know, the ones from
15:25
Speaker 5: the you know, the one guy in there he falls
15:31
Speaker 5: to sleep.
15:32
Speaker 3: You know.
15:33
Speaker 4: It's almost like when you play a record and it
15:35
Speaker 4: plays it over and over and over from the skip.
15:38
Speaker 3: You have a shit in a movie? Hey wake up?
15:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know that's happened where it just goes black
15:43
Speaker 1: and then the screen shows numbers. Yeah, that's had that.
15:47
Speaker 1: That doesn't happen anymore. Hey, listen for the talkbacks. If
15:50
Speaker 1: you saw The Odyssey, or if you've been trying to
15:52
Speaker 1: get tickets, leave us a talk back and tell us
15:55
Speaker 1: about your experience. You just go to the iHeartRadio app
15:58
Speaker 1: you look for the talkback section like these people did.
16:01
Speaker 6: So did I just hear that someone is going to
16:04
Speaker 6: sue McDonald's over hot French fries burning the roof of
16:08
Speaker 6: their mouth? I mean, I've been to so many restaurants
16:12
Speaker 6: and eaten so many foods that are so hot has
16:16
Speaker 6: burned my tongue and mouth and everything. Why is there
16:20
Speaker 6: gonna be so many copycap people cop suing McDonald's.
16:26
Speaker 1: Now, maybe remember back I think it was nineteen ninety two,
16:29
Speaker 1: early in the early nineties, someone sued for hot coffee
16:33
Speaker 1: at a McDonald's. I think it was cought Christie, I think,
16:36
Speaker 1: and they want they got a lot of money.
16:38
Speaker 3: And the other thing.
16:39
Speaker 4: How many times have you gotten a slice of pizza
16:42
Speaker 4: right out of the oven? You're hungry, you put it
16:45
Speaker 4: in and it staks to the top of the roof
16:48
Speaker 4: of your mouth and you're like, oh it hurts so

Speaker 3: Where the local pizza place.
17:03
Speaker 7: You know, every time there's a deal made in Iran,
17:06
Speaker 7: the gas the oil prices dropped, and it gives people
17:11
Speaker 7: a chance to buy the oil futures. Then when the
17:14
Speaker 7: deal falls through, the oil futures rise and gives a
17:17
Speaker 7: change to people to sell those futures and make money.
17:21
Speaker 7: And this is cycle has been going on and on
17:24
Speaker 7: and on for the past five months. I think that's
17:27
Speaker 7: what this is all about. Has nothing to do with
17:30
Speaker 7: anything else.
17:31
Speaker 3: It could be.

Speaker 1: Well, there's been a titanic shift in the NBA power ratings.
20:22
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia seventy six ers, as you all know, by
20:25
Speaker 1: now signing one of the greatest players ever to play.
20:29
Speaker 1: Some people say he is the greatest Lebron James. So
20:33
Speaker 1: let's check in with Warner Wolf to find out exactly
20:37
Speaker 1: how he feels about this and if he feels like
20:41
Speaker 1: the seventy six Ers are now favored to go to
20:44
Speaker 1: the NBA Championship.
20:47
Speaker 9: All right, Larry, Well, First of all, Lebron said he
20:50
Speaker 9: didn't do it for the money forty million per year.
20:54
Speaker 9: He wanted to play for Philadelphia. He would have played
20:57
Speaker 9: for free. Sure. Secondly, he makes it harder for the
21:03
Speaker 9: Knicks to repeat as Eastern Congresce champions. Third, here's a question,
21:08
Speaker 9: will Lebron be able to teach Joe l Embiid, the
21:13
Speaker 9: king of the flop artists, win and where to pick
21:16
Speaker 9: his spots? And Fourth, the biggest question goes to you, Larry.
21:22
Speaker 9: You grew up watching Wilt Chamberlain and the Philadelphia Warriors
21:26
Speaker 9: playing the old Civic Center, and now you drive back
21:30
Speaker 9: and forth every day to New York. Who are you
21:32
Speaker 9: going to root for the Knicks or Philadelphia?
21:36
Speaker 1: I used to go watch the Sixers when they were
21:39
Speaker 1: nine and seventy three, and you could get out. You
21:42
Speaker 1: could buy a cheap seat and move down to court
21:44
Speaker 1: side to watch the games. I've been a Sixers fan
21:47
Speaker 1: all my life. I love the Knicks, I love that
21:50
Speaker 1: they're Villanova North, but my heart's got to stay with
21:53
Speaker 1: the seventy six Ers.
21:54
Speaker 9: Oh boy, you better watch it when you drive in
21:58
Speaker 9: the city.
22:02
Speaker 4: Come on, who expected?
22:05
Speaker 3: Who expected Lebron? And go to Philly? The betting line
22:08
Speaker 3: shut nobody?
22:09
Speaker 9: I did, nobody, I did?
22:11
Speaker 7: You did?
22:12
Speaker 1: Let me tell you why? Yeah, let me tell you
22:14
Speaker 1: why I did. I bet on it on Calshi and
22:17
Speaker 1: I bet fifty bucks and one, four hundred and twenty five.
22:20
Speaker 1: And the reason I bet on it is because I
22:22
Speaker 1: saw a picture of Ganzi, who is the general manager
22:26
Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia seventy six Ers, back when he was
22:30
Speaker 1: in high school, with his arms around Lebron James. They
22:34
Speaker 1: were the first and second best player in high school
22:38
Speaker 1: in Ohio and they've been friends ever since. Do you
22:41
Speaker 1: think what or that's the reason they hired a miss
22:43
Speaker 1: general manager.
22:45
Speaker 9: Oh, there's no question about it.
22:47
Speaker 6: I don't know.
22:50
Speaker 4: Wow you had that inside information there, Larry.
22:53
Speaker 9: Oh wow, Yeah, US has foorned thirteen Jets, right. Yeah,
22:59
Speaker 9: you might not be able to call them gang green anymore.
23:03
Speaker 9: For their opening game against the Packers, they will wear
23:06
Speaker 9: white helmets, white jerseys, and white pants. So maybe they'll
23:12
Speaker 9: be known as gang white, unless someone says no, that's
23:16
Speaker 9: too racially.
23:17
Speaker 3: Again, that could happen. They're gonna look like Penn stayed
23:21
Speaker 3: out on the grid.
23:22
Speaker 4: Irony, Here's what's the point.
23:27
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know. I don't get this other
23:28
Speaker 3: than to sell more paraphernalia, more merch.
23:32
Speaker 9: Sure Corse, you'll buy it, and then they'll go back
23:34
Speaker 9: to the old losing green. Hey, here's the Hutspow quote
23:40
Speaker 9: of the week goes to the new thirty six year
23:43
Speaker 9: old Kentucky football coach Will Stein. When asked why he
23:48
Speaker 9: thought he could win at Kentucky, Stein, who's never been
23:52
Speaker 9: a head coach anywhere before, said we will win big
23:57
Speaker 9: at Kentucky because of me. Because of me. My Stein
24:05
Speaker 9: realized he's in a semi pro league of the Southeast
24:08
Speaker 9: Conference with teams like Georgia, Alabama, Ole, Miss Texas A
24:13
Speaker 9: and m Texas Oklahoma. Come on, we'll tone it down, man.
24:19
Speaker 9: Well here's one for you. Not only do the players
24:22
Speaker 9: and coaches illegally bet the NFL football Cardinals director of
24:28
Speaker 9: college scouting Ryan Gold has been suspended indefinitely, if not fired.
24:37
Speaker 9: He gave info and bet on the top five Cardinal
24:43
Speaker 9: draft picks before the draft, which he knew in advance,
24:48
Speaker 9: and he won seven hundred thousand dollars on a twenty
24:52
Speaker 9: five dollars parlay where all you had to do was
24:55
Speaker 9: pick all five picks in order. But he already knew
24:59
Speaker 9: the picks unless the Cardinals were going to make a trade.
25:03
Speaker 3: Now they don't want to.
25:04
Speaker 4: One last thing on this gambling thing, which is it's
25:07
Speaker 4: an epidemic. Now it's an epidemic. It's everywhere. Now that
25:12
Speaker 4: they've allowed all of this gambling to take place, professional
25:17
Speaker 4: leagues and colleges are benefiting from it.
25:20
Speaker 3: How can they rain it in? I mean you've seen
25:22
Speaker 3: these cycles before.
25:26
Speaker 9: No, this is not going to be rained in. And
25:28
Speaker 9: as long as you have advertising everywhere you look and
25:32
Speaker 9: call if you have a gambling problem called one eight hundred,
25:36
Speaker 9: What a joke that is. If you didn't have a problem,
25:40
Speaker 9: you wouldn't need to call it. I mean it's everywhere. No,
25:44
Speaker 9: there's too much money to be made now by the
25:47
Speaker 9: professional teams who back it. Now this is here to stay.
25:51
Speaker 9: Man Hey, old school managing baseball. Over the weekend, Jay's
25:55
Speaker 9: manager John Schneider led his starter Dylan Cees go all
26:00
Speaker 9: the way on a one hitter against the Red Sox
26:03
Speaker 9: on one hundred and twenty pitches. One hundred and twenty pitches.
26:08
Speaker 9: That's old time baseball, he said, what's the score? And
26:11

Speaker 3: Nah, Larry's on a roll, man, he's winning all these stats.
26:31
Speaker 9: Larry, he's way off.
26:34
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't bet on it.
26:37
Speaker 9: Now, I here's the stooge of the week.
26:39
Speaker 3: What was the number? Yeah, what was the number? I said,
26:42

Speaker 9: Oh? I didn't tell you. No, you'd have to guess. No,
26:50
Speaker 9: it's ten three thousand complete stooge of the week me.
26:59
Speaker 9: New York Times can attributed opinion a writer E. J.
27:03
Speaker 9: Dion Junior, whose headline said socialism capitalism, Who cares? Who cares? Hey,
27:12
Speaker 9: mister Dion. Socialism communism has never worked anywhere, and it
27:17
Speaker 9: certainly won't work in New York, where the socialists tell
27:21
Speaker 9: us everything is free. It's free until you run out
27:24
Speaker 9: of other people's money, and the government owns everything. Hey,
27:29
Speaker 9: wait till the communists say, hey, you got a nice
27:33
Speaker 9: house there. Let's put in six other families with you. Hey,
27:37
Speaker 9: mister Dion, go back to your original job singing with
27:41
Speaker 9: Dion and the Belmont. Where did they get this guy from?
27:47
Speaker 9: You wanted to talk soccer real quick?
27:50
Speaker 3: Oh?
27:50
Speaker 4: Mad on my if I was going to bury that
27:53
Speaker 4: because you know I hate soccer.
27:54
Speaker 3: That fake.
27:56
Speaker 4: With you, But the president of fe Foot won't let it.
28:00
Speaker 4: He claims that people like me who hate him because
28:04
Speaker 4: he's corrupt, are guilty of hate speech and that we
28:08
Speaker 4: need to stop it. It's sort of like it's over, guy,
28:11
Speaker 4: The World Cup is over.
28:13
Speaker 3: Leaving alone. He won't leave it alone. He won't leave
28:15
Speaker 3: it alone.
28:16
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, move over super Bowl. You know
28:21
Speaker 9: how much money was bet on the World Cup final?
28:25
Speaker 9: Five hundred and seventy billion dollars. That's why they cared
28:29
Speaker 9: who won Spain or Argentina. This dwarfs the Super Bowl
28:34
Speaker 9: number one hundred and seventy six billion. And here's a
28:38
Speaker 9: question for you. The Women's Women's World Soccer Cup will
28:41
Speaker 9: take place in Brazil in twenty twenty seven. Here's the question.
28:47
Speaker 9: Who will be the first country to try and pass
28:49
Speaker 9: off a trensgender man to play in the Women's World
28:52
Speaker 9: Cup and get caught. That's what we want to know.
28:56
Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much. Wanna we pretty much can
28:59
Speaker 3: figure it.
29:00
Speaker 4: There will be the United States of America, right, Oh,
29:03
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
29:03
Speaker 3: I guess it'll be another country.
29:05
Speaker 1: But thanks a lot Warner, legendary sportscaster with us every
29:09
Speaker 1: week at this time when we come back, Maine has
29:12
Speaker 1: a new candidate for senator. And we've been telling you
29:17
Speaker 1: all along this was going to be the guy, and
29:19
Speaker 1: he's not that impressive. Plus, joy is essential and elusive.
29:24
Speaker 1: You can't order it or borrow it. But now there's
29:27
Speaker 1: a new way to start your journey towards a more
29:30
Speaker 1: joyful existence, The Joy one oh one podcast with Hotecopy.
29:35
Speaker 1: Look for it on the free iHeartRadio app.
29:39
Speaker 3: So the replacement for.
29:41
Speaker 1: Graham Platner, the sexual assaulter, the person that makes fun
29:49
Speaker 1: of purple heart winners, all kinds of problems. I know
29:53
Speaker 1: that Curtis loves the story of him sharpening his acts
29:58
Speaker 1: and saying that he can't wait for somebody to try
30:00
Speaker 1: to break in because he's going to rape that guy,
30:02
Speaker 1: not because it's sexual he said, dominance speak.
30:06
Speaker 4: That's like Jack Nicholson, right, shiny head, you didn't realize
30:10
Speaker 4: he was a scooball then you would never realize it.
30:13
Speaker 1: So they had Graham Plattner, who had all kinds of problems.
30:16
Speaker 1: He was a good speaker, he was an exciting candidate,
30:18
Speaker 1: but his past had came back to haunt him. Now
30:21
Speaker 1: they went with the guy who's the dullest guy in
30:23
Speaker 1: the world. And I guess they're thinking, we just want
30:26
Speaker 1: the anti Graham Platner, somebody that's going to cause no problems,
30:30
Speaker 1: a family guy, a former lagger, and he does have
30:33
Speaker 1: political experience, unlike Graham Plattner. He was the president of
30:38
Speaker 1: the Main Senate for about eight years. So his name
30:42
Speaker 1: is Troy Jackson.
30:44
Speaker 3: They're frustrated, and I get that.
30:46
Speaker 10: I've been frustrated by politics slot in my life. What
30:50
Speaker 10: I'm trying to do is make sure that they realize
30:52
Speaker 10: that this is about those issues we all care about,
30:56
Speaker 10: and that this campaign is not about me.
30:57
Speaker 3: It's not about Graham. It's way bigger. Not a real
31:00
Speaker 3: exciting guy. No, but he's captured that Northern Maine action.
31:05
Speaker 4: I remember when I was going through there, you know,
31:07
Speaker 4: and it got all those paper mills up there in
31:09
Speaker 4: the morning, it smells like rotten age. The way they talk,
31:13
Speaker 4: it's like that mixture of the Quebec quar because in
31:16
Speaker 4: the Quebec and Northern Maine you never know.
31:20
Speaker 3: Each state is different.
31:21
Speaker 4: And by the way, let's face it, this guy is
31:25
Speaker 4: probably who he says he is.
31:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. It probably doesn't have a lot in
31:30
Speaker 3: this closet. And now they're united behind. Now he's way behind.
31:34
Speaker 4: Susan Collins in front, raising way behind with only ninety
31:37
Speaker 4: days to go.
31:38
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happened in the polls. It's close,
31:40
Speaker 1: yet it always is in Maine. People have to understand
31:43
Speaker 1: that it's nothing new when you look at Susan Collins
31:46
Speaker 1: and Maine. I think people have gotten used to say, well,
31:49
Speaker 1: it looks really close. She could lose her seat, and
31:52
Speaker 1: then you go, Okay, she's not gonna lose her seat
31:53
Speaker 1: because you'll win by like six to eight points.
31:55
Speaker 4: I think the big thing that's happened for Taylor right
31:58
Speaker 4: out of the box is that Ice shooting the death
32:02
Speaker 4: of the Colombian national who was gunned down in a
32:07
Speaker 4: traffic stop. Tom Holman had to do soft foot on
32:11
Speaker 4: this issue because the AP reported that this ICE agent's
32:16
Speaker 4: own family members. He was an Army veit. David brula
32:21
Speaker 4: Let said he should never have been hired. He had
32:25
Speaker 4: serious mental health issues and he had situations of violent behavior.
32:32
Speaker 4: That's the one that is the problematic Ice shooting because
32:36
Speaker 4: this guy was just recruited in no basic training whatsoever,
32:40
Speaker 4: put out there and he ends up shooting.
32:42
Speaker 3: He got three times.
32:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, the surprising thing is that we had predicted. Okay,
32:47
Speaker 1: now all the protesters are going to go to Maine.
32:50
Speaker 1: Maine's been handling this much differently. It's much quieter, and
32:54
Speaker 1: they seem to be willing to wait for an investigation
32:58
Speaker 1: to play out. Yes see that if it doesn't go well,
33:00
Speaker 1: that's when things are gonna blow up. But right now
33:03
Speaker 1: it's quiet and so I'm not sure it's as big
33:07
Speaker 1: of a story now or it'll have that much influence
33:10
Speaker 1: on the Senate campaign unless they bungle this the way
33:13
Speaker 1: they handle it. I mean, if they don't discipline this guy.
33:16
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a problem. It's gonna be a real problem.
33:18
Speaker 4: And also Susan Colins, who's the chairwoman of a committee
33:22
Speaker 4: that determines how money is you're going to be spent.
33:24
Speaker 4: Has said, I don't care what it takes. Every ICE
33:28
Speaker 4: agent should have a body cam on and it should
33:30
Speaker 4: happen sooner rather than later.
33:32
Speaker 3: Right now. Tom Homan has said.
33:34
Speaker 4: The lead agent in any team that goes in in
33:38
Speaker 4: terms of trying to take somebody in to be able
33:41
Speaker 4: to process them for possible deportation, must have a body cam.
33:46
Speaker 4: That's happening as of today, but it would make a
33:49
Speaker 4: lot of sense.
33:50
Speaker 3: It was already happening.
33:51
Speaker 1: I mean they were as soon as they got the
33:53
Speaker 1: money for it, they said they were gonna put body
33:55
Speaker 1: cams on every Ice officer. And if you listen to
33:58
Speaker 1: Tom Homan, Tom and Homan blames the Democrats. Tom Holman says, look,
34:02
Speaker 1: we were willing to, we didn't get the funding for
34:04
Speaker 1: it because they closed down the government twice. Once we
34:06
Speaker 1: got the funding, now we're going through the training for
34:09
Speaker 1: the body cam. As soon as that happens, everybody's going
34:13
Speaker 1: to have them. But many of the officers already have them,
34:15
Speaker 1: and many of the officers that were used to them
34:18
Speaker 1: in the past are wearing them. But every single Ice
34:21
Speaker 1: officer will be wearing a body cam within the next
34:24
Speaker 1: couple months.
34:24
Speaker 4: And they have to keep it on all the time.
34:26
Speaker 4: You can't just put it on. Sometimes they got to
34:29
Speaker 4: keep it on all the time just to be safe
34:31
Speaker 4: rather than sorry, it's actually in their best interest. It's
34:35
Speaker 4: just like one police when they originally had to have
34:37
