  Speaker 1: And right away I went to is he was a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: little dizzy or board operator also escape eat from WABC,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: not his place to be in, I say, is he?

  Speaker 1: We're friends right from our WABC days. Once you open
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it up, who knows?

  Speaker 2: You know?

  Speaker 1: I got many many enemies out there, as many of

  Speaker 1: the listeners know. Could take me back to like remember
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: two thousand and one, supposedly some guy in Trenton was

  Speaker 1: selling sending out mail that had cipro in it. Well

  Speaker 1: possibly sippro, not zipro, excuse me antracks the antrax sports.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Remember you inhale those that's it. You're dead on a right.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I remember at the time the Pataki administration decided for
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: he and his staff to be on the safe side
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: because they were getting nefarious mail along with people over
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: at the Fox News Channel and some other places, that
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: they would take cipro as a prophylactic, you know, to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: prevent it. God forbid they did inhale any of those
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: anthrax spores. I said, is he you know, just you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: know for old time say Noah, it's quite all right,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: It's quite a right, Curtis. Friendship only goes so far,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: is he? You weren't going to touch that, were you?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But it does remind me about George Vataki, the greatest
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: governor we've had in our lifetime, without a doubt, three terms,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: no corruption, no chaos. Beat Mario Cuomo, who thought he
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: was on his way possibly to becoming the first Italian
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: American president of the United States. And nobody knew who
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: George Battacky was. Nobody knew. There were six Republicans vying
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to run against Mario Cromo at that time, seeking a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: fourth term, and he superseded them. He had been the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: mayor of Pe skill Semiment state senator. I remember giving
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a speech for him at the Yale Club on the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: day that I got fired in the morning Angels in
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the morning with my wife Lisa at the time. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: he had committed to his campaign manager I would go
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to the Yale Club speak on his behalf. There were
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: eight people there, four family members and four of his
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yale graduate friends. That was it, and he beat Mario
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Ocormo and turned out to be our greatest mayor. He
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: tells a great story. The chauffeur knows everything. I know.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: There's a phone calls of blazing. I'll get to them momentarily.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The chauffeur knows everything. You know. Who was the chauffeur
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: for Nelson Rockefeller for a while the world's richest man,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: former Governor George Batacki and his job When Nelson Rockefeller

  Speaker 1: was traveling the state and spending time at a five
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: star hotel, you know, meeting up with as many gumatas judge.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Vataki had to bring him a bottle of Dubena and
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Oreo cookies. The world's richest man at that time was

  Speaker 2: like Jim McMillan, the basketball player Don Brockington who played
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: for the Packers. But I have two questions for you.

  Speaker 2: Republicans can get behind a last the Ponic to run
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: for Senate against Schuma?

  Speaker 1: broadcaster was, Marty Klickman, who was broadcasting New York Giant
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: football games. Marty Klickman and do you know who was
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Who is the reporter on the sidelines,

  Speaker 1: gorgeous woman that they go to, you know during the breaks.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Elston Howard who had been the catcher MVP for the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: New York Yankees. This is what you used to get
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: high school football broadcasts on Channel eleven Saturday mornings, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you'd always see Mo Finkelstein. You'd see all of a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: sudden Marty clickman, Mo, tell us, how did you beat
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: boys and girls high this week? Tell us? And Mo
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: would go on and on and on. Boy, those are
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: great memories, but I know that's not why you were called.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Football was king with Mo.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: That's for sure. All the memories. By the way, who
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: was the other famous alumni of the baby you projects
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: so with two others. One went on not to own
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: but to run Starbucks three times three times, And I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: have no love for this guy. I'll share that with
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you momentarily. And another great NBA ball player, I went
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to Canarcie High School, went on to success with the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Detroit Pistons and the LA Lakers and became quite a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: broadcaster and handle the sports talk show a little bit
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of trivia here one eight hundred and three two one
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Let's go if we can to Mike,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: who I believe is calling from Long Island. Your turn
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to be heard here at seven ten wor Mikey, Hike Curtis.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I'm glad to hear you back on the radio. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: want to weigh in on the new fire commissioner.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Now, could you speak up a bit, Mikey, speak up
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a bit.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Kavanaugh on the Adams was the first DEI commissioner.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: She couldn't handle the job, so they had that retired chief.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I shall come back to run things now. I know
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: the same thing is going to happen with this thing
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: that he's gonna I mean, listen, I don't know. Hopefully
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: she'll be good, but if not, I hope defied. It's
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: active and retired elicited to me. Do not step up
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to run the department for this guy, mean, Danny, if
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: he wants this to be the commissioner, let him do
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: it now, let her run it well whatever whatever it is.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But you named those other commissioners, but they had they
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: were credible administrators.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Who hold on the incredible administrators. But again what did
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Ellen Musk tweet out as a result of Lillian bon
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Signori being a signed fire commissioner by Johanmandami thirty one
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: years EMS people will die yet. I just went to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a litany of former fire commissioners who served under Dinkins, Giuliani, Bloomberg,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and none of them had ever even put out a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: waste paper basket. But they were good administrators. Well is
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that what may say? Fire commissioner? And by the way,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the fire department can run on itself. Again, it's civil
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: service to the highest level. The political appointment is the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: fire commissioner. But I will tell you this, she deserves
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: an opportunity. And again I speak on behalf of EMS
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: workers that I know work real hard constant calls. They
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: don't have enough personnel. They only make about thirty five
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: thousand to start. They don't have pay parody with the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: other uniform services who started about fifty two thousand. They
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: have to deal with everybody that nobody else wants to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: deal with to take to the hospit many of them
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: don't want to go to the hospital and they fight
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: them in the back of the wagon. How do I
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: know Iron Guardian angels have had to go in there
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and help the EMS people who immediately have to fight
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: with somebody. They just put an IV into their arm,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and as soon as they drop that patient off, they're
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: running to another. Nine to one. I don't know Elon Muska.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: He's an expert, right, He's going to turn out to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: be the Howard Ughes of our generation. Watch, very successful
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: in business, but very eccentric.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Two
