  Speaker 1: Now curtis lewa and larry mentee in the morning on
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: 710 wor.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry did ray stajic say low.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: 80s um you know i'm down on ray stajic in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: terms of everything he has said but you folks you
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and natalie seem to give him a pass and obviously
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: our listeners wherever they are but I thought he nailed it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not giving him a pass. I thought he
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: did a great job on that forecast with the storm. No,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I think he was a dollar short and a day late.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: You just don't like his temperament. You thought that he
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: soft-sell'd it, but what he was actually saying was right
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: on the money.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Well, he was too laid back.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: If you notice, yesterday, all the residual effects of this
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: nor'easter became very apparent. From the downed power lines to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the downed trees to the beach encroachment.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: What beach? The beach is gone. All the way up the.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Jersey Shore, South Shore, Long Island, everywhere you look, including
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: my favorite broad channel, Howard Beach and the Rockaways, the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Irish Riviera. Wiped out. Wiped out. And I remember him
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: two days before, well... It might. You never know if
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it goes west. I don't know.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, what?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Compared to the TV forecasters, he was a weather forecaster
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on Quaaludes.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: You are completely misquoting him. He said it was going
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to be bad along the shoreline. It's going to depend
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: for everybody else how far west it goes. And look,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I barely got anything because I'm way off the shoreline. Natalie,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: did you get the high winds and the horrible rain?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So he nailed it. He nailed it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And I know that's because you were a brother in
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: solidarity with him as a fellow weather forecaster who spent
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: years in San Diego. Very difficult job at night. Oh,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it's 78. It's a gorgeous day. The sun is out.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Did it ever rain? Did you ever have a rain forecast?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Here's how easy it is in San Diego. Every weatherman
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: is given another job. like it's not like you're a
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: consumer reporter plus got it it's like part-time gig.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I did features i tried to come up with one
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: for every night so because there's not enough weather to
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: talk about.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: So that clicker in your hand that all the weather
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: guys and gals have you know where you show all
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the winds are coming on shore you know look look
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: at there it was like the clicker was like They didn't.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Trust me with the flicker.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: The director did everything. The director made all of the changes. So, yeah, no.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: But wait a second.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Jersey Shore twins, because the both of you have been
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: basically birthed and grown up on this. The southern part
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of the Jersey Shore, you, Larry, and the northern part
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of the Jersey Shore, you, Natalie. Man, it looked like
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a wipeout in some of those areas.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: You should see some of the pictures from there. They
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: were showing a shot, and I think this was in
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Long Island because they got hit hard too. They were
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: showing the steps going down from either a pier or
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: a boardwalk. It was going down, and it just hangs
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: in the air because so much of the sand was
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: taken out. I'm talking about several feet of sand taken out. The–
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: The job they're going to have to do and the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: money they're going to have to spend to fix the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Jersey Shore and the beaches on Long Island in New
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: York is going to be monumental. You know, it's so
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: lucky this happened at the end of the summer because
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it had to happen the beginning of the summer. The
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: summer would have been a wipeout. There's some of these
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: beaches that you're not able to go to right now.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: So why do.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: We continue this ridiculous, we go out, we dredge up
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: sand way offshore, we bring it back, we pour it
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on the existing beach, only to know it's going to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: be drawn out miles away and you have to do
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the process all over again. We spend basically, when you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: think of all the years we've been doing this, since
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, billions of dollars.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: It's going on right now.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And we're going to want it from the federal government
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: because we can't afford it with state funds or local funds.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: So it's like you would have figured by now they
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: would have– Decompartmentalize and forget. We're doing the same thing.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: This is the definition of insanity. We do the same
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: thing over and over just to have a beach. Yeah, well,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that's a big deal. I mean, they do make a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: lot of money. Tourism, and especially at the Jersey Shore,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: is a huge asset for the state of New Jersey,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and it is for New York and Long Island as well.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Of course, everybody has memories of the Jersey Shore. Forget
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: about the money that's made. It is one of the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: diamonds in this area, one of the things we treasure
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in this area, the fact that you can go to
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the Jersey Shore, you can go to Long Island, you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: can go to any of the New York City beaches.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that's part of your memories from when you were a kid.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Understood, but you say— And there's a lot of money
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to be made, too.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It's a treasure. Well, treasure gets buried. You have no
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: beach to bury the treasure in.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: So your druthers.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Are you would have done nothing?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: No, no.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: You just don't fix these beaches?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I would say since the Army Corps of Engineers have
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: been coming up with all kinds of plans since the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: 60s when I was a kid, you figure by now,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: by now they'd have a better way of retaining the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: sand every time a storm hits.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: You would think by now.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Well, it's not every time a storm hits. It really isn't.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: It's like once every several years there's a really bad storm.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of things people don't want to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: spend money on. I agree with you. That ain't one
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: of them. I think most people, I think you're in
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the minority here, most people want to replenish the shorelines
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: because it's one of our natural beauties and one of
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: our natural treasures.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: That's just because you like it, Larry. That's true. And
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: that's just because you like it, Natalie.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: But I bet you there'll be a lot of taxpayers
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: out there saying, hey, I don't understand that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I don't go to the beach.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'd love to hear from people because I think
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that most people... especially in New Jersey and especially in
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Long Island, go to some beach.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: During the summer.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Well, the few times that I've been down at the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Jersey Shore, usually we started out early, you know, New
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway. And what's the first stop?
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Got to get a cup of coffee like everybody else.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: They're lined up for all these foreign blends.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Are you going to go through the whole day before
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you get to the beach?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: But everybody seems to line up. Today is National Coffee Day. Oh,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Sorry. And let's face it. This country is consumed with
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: getting coffee. Not decaf. There are people out there who
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: specifically say decaf, but caffeinated. Caffeinated products, especially coffee for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the older folks and for the younger folks.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Man, it's the caffeinated drinks. Red Bull.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: In fact, Chris, who has returned, what's the one thing
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I asked him, Natalie, right out of the box? Oh,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: you millennials, you Gen Zers, first thing in the morning
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you want, Red Bull.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: He said, yeah, two Red Bulls to get going. That's
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: all caffeine.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Have you ever tasted Red Bull?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind a Red Bull.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, you don't?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: No. I find it a nasty taste, but it's really
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: just to get you, you know, herky-jerky, basically to jumpstart you.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It's huge in colleges. My college-age kids, they drink it
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: all the time. For tests, for exams and stuff like that,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: they're on Red Bull. And believe me, I prefer that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: to the alternatives that they might be taking. So when
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: they do Red Bull, I go, good.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Thumbs up. I'll go get you a case. Well, let
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: me give you this new study. You're a coffee guy, Larry.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I notice you're a really good husband in the morning
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: before you leave to come all the way here to
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: join me and Natalie and our audience. You make a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee for your wife who has to go
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: opposite you towards Philadelphia, right?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I put it out every single morning. It makes for
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a happy marriage. I don't have to do anything else. Well,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you're aware of this. I don't
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: know how you got away with that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: According to the studies... with the 80% of U.S.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Residents who consume caffeine, the older you are, it's generally
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: with coffee. The first sip is the strongest buzz of
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: caffeine you're going to get all day long.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: It's like any drug. You know, your first hit is
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the strongest.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Then you keep taking more and more hits thinking you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: could duplicate the original hit and it never happens. But
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they're saying you shouldn't have that caffeinated coffee until 90
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: minutes after you've woken up.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Well, that's ridiculous. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And that's one study about how many that have been
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: out on coffee. I mean, it's ridiculous. You know, I'm
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: pretty good. And the other thing is how much you're
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: supposed to drink, right? Everybody tells you how much you're
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: supposed to drink. For a while there, it was two.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Then it went up to five. You know, me, 14. 14?
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: 14 cups of coffee in a day is probably what
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I need. No, you're... How many cups of coffee do
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I take during the show? Have you seen me get
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: up constantly? I'm in there getting another.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Cup of coffee. My mouth is on the ground right now.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I drink a lot of coffee.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: And it's just caffeine.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I can't believe you've never seen me. Do you think
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: that's the same cup I'm bringing in all the time?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: First of all, that's two.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Natalie is stunned now.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: That's two in this tumbler.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Now, when the original studies came out and said, you're
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: going to have a heart attack, you're going to have
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a stroke. Remember when they said, if you had more
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: than three or four cups a day, what was your
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: reaction back then? Because I'm assuming you've been a regular
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: coffee drinker all through these years.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I know I'm not going to have a heart attack
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: because I need the coffee just to stay awake, just
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to stay alert. So It never has taken me to
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: the point where I felt like my heart was going
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: too fast or I was going too fast. The coffee
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: just gets me to normal. 14 cups gets.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You to normal?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Yes. Wow.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: If you drink too much coffee, they say that the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: dopamine stops being replenished in your body. So you're actually–
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: replacing the dopamine.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: With the coffee.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So you mean if you were to experiment and just
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: come in and let's say have a normal one cup
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: of coffee when you're home before you come and then
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: another cup here, you would be falling asleep during this program?
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I'd be that boring and Natalie would be that boring
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that we would put you to sleep?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't say that you were that boring that
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I went to sleep, but I would say my lack
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: of coffee, yes, would make me drowsy.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Well, let's find out from our many listeners out there
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: and then talk back. Do you think.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: 14 cups of caffeinated coffee that Larry drinks religiously.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I'll admit, 14 is a number I just made up.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: But I'll start counting. Do you think that's a little
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: too much? Are you similar to Larry? Or do you
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: believe this latest study? It says caffeine.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to have a regulated day, don't
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: drink your first cup of caffeinated coffee.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Until 90 minutes after you wake up.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And the whole idea is your first sip is going
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to be your strongest caffeine boost all day long.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't believe that either. Like I have one
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: in the afternoon. I go home and I nap and
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: then I have a cup of coffee as soon as
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I wake up.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I just can't even believe it.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I only started drinking coffee five years ago, and I
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: have one cup a day, maybe two.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: National coffee day.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: The only downside of it is I go to the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: bathroom a lot.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it is. It's a good eliminator.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Constant.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. All day long.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. Don't forget the prune juice. Just
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: drink the coffee.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Hey, so if you want to leave the talk back,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: go to the iHeartRadio app, leave us a talk back.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: You could win it courteously, win Larry Menti in the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: morning t-shirt.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: You know that.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: We award that every single day. And while you're on
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the free iHeartRadio app, be sure to stay at a
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: preset for 710WOR. Well, explain this Giants and Yankees thing.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: We have two things, big deals going on in town.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: The Giants got a new player, and then the Yankees
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: have two players that they hope can play. but it's
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: very doubtful they're ever going to be able to play
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: this year. But they're praying, they're praying, and they're trying. Plus, man,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I would love to go to this concert. Stevie Wonder
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: at 825. Tickets to see Stevie Wonder. You're going to
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: get a chance when they tell you to call in.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Stick around.
