• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast from wor Now Curtisliwa and Larry
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Minty in the morning on sevent ten, Doubor, it's the weekend.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be beautiful.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Natalie, Natalie Vaka is not here today. Chris Schweitzer is
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: filling in for her. She's gotten the three day weekend.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: It's perfect. And we start off the show today with
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: we want to extend the conversation we were having before
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: the show because Curtis Sliwa came up with a brainstorm
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: a tremendous idea and I don't I want him to
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: tell it, but we were just talking about naming Penn
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Station because everybody's talking about it being named Trump's station.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: And then again, I don't want to step on your idea,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: but let me just say this is brilliant.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: What happened because Natalia Migliori, she comes in every morning,
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: we brainstorm what are you gonna go down into the
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: eats and ask people about and then bring it back
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: into the streets for the eight fifty four segment, and
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: she says, well, you know, they want to change the
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: name of Penn Station, and she's correct. Transportation Secretary Sean
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Duffy said we're paying the bill, mean, the FEDS for
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: redoing Penn Station eight billion. They don't want involvement of
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: the MTA. They don't want involvement in New Jersey Transit
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Long Island. No, no, no, it's our baby. And they have
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Andy Byfort in charge. Remember the MTA guy that ever
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: the Cormo got rid of from. Yes, but man, he
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: knows transportation so great. So right away the assumption is
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: that they'd want to name it for Trump.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: I don't think so.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: I think they are not things that are going to
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: be named after Donald Trump before he leaves office at
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: the end of his term.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: So let's be a little creative here.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: And I said to myself, we're always subsidizing Amtrak, the
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: new improved a seller versus the old Northeast Regional line,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: and then obviously other services at Amtrak does around the
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: country sell the naming rights. What the hell, man, I
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: want to get off the hook. We subsidize Amtrak all
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: the time. They never make their budget, you know, it's
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: always in the red.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: To be in the epicenter of the gateway to the world,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: New York City, Penn Station next to Madison Square Garden, Boy,
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: how much do you think those naming rights can go
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: As soon as you thought of the idea, I went
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: to Google. Of course, I went to AI and wanted
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to find out exactly how much the stadium naming rights
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: are going for, because that's where the big money is
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: in the stadiums. I think this would bring in more money.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: So to give you an idea, MetLife Stadium, it's seventeen
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: million a year. That's how much they each year. Seventeen million,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: every single single year. But in Los Angeles, I didn't
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: even know what was called this. The crib Do com
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Arena just had the biggest deal ever twenty years, seven
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollars thirty five million dollars a year for
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the naming rights and every year you get a thirty
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: five million check. So listen, Penn Station a billion? Could
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: it bringing a billion over twenty years easily? And probably
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: more because it's New York City. Now think also, the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: first stop is gonna be Newark, Right, that's Penn Station.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: You're not gonna get the same amount of money in
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Newark then Philly. But you told me that Philly is
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: not Penn Station. I always assume, Hey, the headquarters William
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Penn is right there.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: No, it had a dull name.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: It was thirtieth Street station, and now it's named William Gray,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: the third thirtieth.
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: Street station, the long term congressman there.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Right exactly, and nobody calls it that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Okay, next stop Baltimore, Uh No, No, actually Wilmington.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: No, no Baltimore for no Wilmington.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I would have thought that was renamed the Joe Biden.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I know, I just saw that they did. Yeah, it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: But nobody says that. They just say Wilmington.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: And then of course Baltimore, which is a real dive
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: of a station. I think that's still Penn station. And Washington,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: DC they call that Penn Station.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Where's the problem in buying the naming rights? In New York,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: everybody's still gonna call it Penn Station.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Fine, it's like RFK Bridge. No Triborough bridge'll up duck
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Hormo Bridge, right, it's still tapping Z Bridge. Fine, we
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: need the money. I'm tired of.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Paying for Amtrak.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: But the name will be up there. That's tremendous advertising.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: You know, it'll be on the tickets.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Exactly, and people will say, well, you catching your train
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: you know, some will say Penn station out of habit.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you this is a way to raise revenue.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Andy Piford, if you happen to be listening out there,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: you lie me, blind me. It's a brilliant idea so
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: that you take the taxpayers off the hook because Amtrak
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: is always in the red, always in the red.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: I think the guy that you have to convince is
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's got to be willing to accuse himself
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: and say this is one edifice that will not have
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: my name on my way out.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where it runs into a roadblock.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: It was a nice idea, where it will it lasted
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: for those we'll see at eight.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Forty five next to me eight fifty four.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: The reaction that Natalie Migliori gets in the street, she's
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: going to be soliciting those same comments from average everyday
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: folks and then bringing him up to all of us.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Now, meantime, I got it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Let me let me get people in on this, because
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I'd love to hear from them. First for Curtis's idea,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: great idea, isn't it? Talk about that for a second. Secondly,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: would you like Penn Station to be named Trumps Station
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: or not Trump Station?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: What would you like it to be named?
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: So you go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: a talk back and you could win. And we've given
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: a lot of these out now. You could win a
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: curtisly Whin Larry MENTI in the Morning t shirt if
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: you were awarded with the talkback of the morning. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: by the way, while you're on the free iHeartRadio app,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: be sure to set a preset for seven to ten
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: wo R. And don't forget the best talkback of the
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: week takes on the Sea Crane Radio. Seacrane radios that
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: work when it matters most.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Now you remember across from Penn Station in Madison Square Garden,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: the old central post office there. It was converted to
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: the Moynihan train station by Andrew Cmo. It now serves
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: as the Amtrak link. They can keep the homeless people
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: out of there, but not out of the Penn Station.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Goolag I call it. But that was the biggest post
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: office in New York. You know you'd be online for
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: a month to Sundays. But what do they always say?
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Will rain, snow, sleet, hurricane, Dark of Knight, Dark of Knight?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: The male guy's always going to be there. And there
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: was a story that Natalie had referred to us about
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: how men and women of the postal service now have
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a trick to avoid when they come to your mailbox.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: It's mostly in suburban areas, you know, where your mailbox
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: is out near the roadside or not far from your home,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: where they put something in there and to make sure
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: they're not gonna bit be bit by bees or wasps
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: when they open it up to either deposit mail in
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: or as you pointed out, Larry, actually pick up your
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: mail that is going out.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what it is. It's bounce.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: That's what most people call it, because bounce is the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: number one.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Chris, what is the what is the term for it?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Bounce is a trade name, bounces a name of one
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: of these things. But it's a dryer sheet, a dryer
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: adry sheet. Yeah, but that bounce is the one that
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: sells the most.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: So what is the dryer sheet do?
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: If you're a wasp or a bee and you're like
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: hiding in there because I can't understand why it's cool,
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: it's dark, uh, and then naturally you open it up
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: and booth out, they come and attack the mail guy. Yeah,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna find out. And by the way, that's a
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: nemesis to them. But the biggest nemesis of all is dogs.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I've talked to mail carrier after mail carrier, many of
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: them who retired after like thirty five forty years of
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: service work in the same route, knowing all their customers
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: getting tips during the Christmas season because it was so
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: good at providing extra service.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: And they would say, Curtis, without a doubt. Dogs do't.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: For some reason, they look into this uniform and he
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: go absolutely out of their minds. He gets psychotic and
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: they want to tear you lim from limb. I'll tell
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: you what you're on Amazon, right, you get Amazon a lot.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: I don't get it. Nancy does. She's the Amazon coin so.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: She's the one that's gonna get the text then all
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the time, because you get a text saying your Amazon
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: driver is now five houses away. Please secure your dog
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: if you have one. And that's a standard. Now I
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: get that all the time. By the way, I have
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: an answer to your question. Strong scented dryer sheets can
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: deter bees and wasps because they dislike the heavy floral
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: or chemical odors, which is why postal workers sometimes tuck
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: them into mailboxes to prevent stinging insects.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: So they'll do it on their own. They're not expecting
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: you to buy it and put it in your own mailbox.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: They do it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: And this is like the guy who uses too much
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Hi karate old spice. You know I call a tilet
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: word or a woman with that chet knockoff chanel number five.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that would scare away the wasps and the
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: bees too if you put that in there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: You know you doused it in there.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if anybody else you know what for
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: the talkbacks, if you have tricks about how to keep
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: some animals or passed out of your house, aside from
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: like chemicals or aside from hiring, somebody would love to
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: hear about it. Also would love to hear about what
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we were just talking about moment ago. Them naming rights.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Just go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: We're going to be playing them in the next segment.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Oh and guess what I was out there on patrol
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: this morning. You know I'm nocturnal. I'm after those mailbox
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: bandits who put a belt down into that little slit
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: that they have Now which has like the rat glue.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: You know, you used to catch rats and mice on
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: both sides and then they lift the mail out. Third
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: time I caught him, I had been to the twentieth
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: Free Saint in the West Side. He said, what do
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: you want us to do? We got their photos, we
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: know who they are. I said, yeah, I want you
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: to stop it. Can't do it. So now I'm climbing
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: the ladder. You remember when we were kids, we were
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: told that's a federal crime.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: You could be up.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: There in the ten most wanted FBI pictures that they
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: used to have your local post office. My uncles would
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: tell me, if they catch you steal and mail, better
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: to rob a bank than steal mail. Now I gotta
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: climb the ladder, Larry, I'm not getting no help from
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: the cops, the US Postal Inspectors. You know they have Arbois.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I'm going to get action one way or the other,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: but you know, three times to charm. If I got
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: to take I can't business my way. Oh boy, you
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: may be coming in here in a morning find out
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Curtis has been arrested for assault and battery of male fiefs.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Well, it's coming to that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: It's New York.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: They'll let you right out. You'll make the shore. That's
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: right out. He'll be fine fifteen minutes. Don't worry about
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: it all. Hey, when we come back. It's one of
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: the worst things that happen on flights. It is so annoying.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And now finally you can kick off a passenger from
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: a flight if they do this. So we'll tell you
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: what it is when we come back.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: This has been a podcast from wor
