• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast from WOR. This is Curtis Lewa
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and Larry Minty in the morning, 710 WOR.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Ah, here we go. Big morning here in the eight
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: o'clock hour.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: All eight o'clock, Larry and Natalie will be joined by
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Failure. You go to sleep with him at night
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: at 710 WOR, nine to ten. You wake up with
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Larry and me in the morning at six. And we
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: have something planned for him. Didn't have a chance to discuss.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It with you, Larry or Natalie.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Things have been moving so quickly ever since the Department
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: of Health of the city of New York actually released
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the PSA the way it was supposed to be done
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with me and Zoran Mandami getting our flu shots. I
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: notice it's circulating around WOR, no doubt done by AI.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Artificial intelligence. Sorry, Mr. President, not super intelligence. Was a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: picture of.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Me and you, Larry, holding hands while getting our flu vaccine.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Although you didn't sign up for that, right?
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not. And I'm thinking about being the first
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: AI lawsuit. I'm going to sue over that because that
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: was absolute defamation.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Absolute defamation. I can assure you it's gone.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: It appeared. But I have convinced Tom Cuddy that why
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: not the merging of the PM and the AM, me
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and Jimmy failure together forever sitting next to one another, right?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Holding hands, doing a PSA for all of our WOR listeners,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: those that choose to take the, uh, the vaccine for
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the flu, and both of.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Us get the shots. I think that's a great idea.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I think it's a wonderful idea. I think you should
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: dress alike. It would be so cute. Oh, yes. He
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: can wear a guardian angel's outfit. Is he allowed to?
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Natalie, what do you think of this tremendous idea, doing
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a public service for our WOR listeners who can hear
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: this program all over the United States? Flu season coming,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and Japan is being ravaged by the flu. They've had
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: 36 straight days of rain. So I think we've got
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to really pin down Jimmy Don't Fail Me Now failure
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: when he comes in for the 8 o'clock hour.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I think he'd be all in, but I love how
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Larry is just pushing it over to Jimmy.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely. As a matter of fact, if you'd like
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: to have your picture taken holding hands with With Curtis Lewa.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Just go ahead and leave us a talk back and
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: say you'd like to. But you have to get your
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: flu shot at the same time. Go to the iHeartRadio app.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Leave us a talk back. You could win a Curtis
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Lewa and Larry Menti in the morning T-shirt that's going
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to be awarded every day to the talk back in
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Just one request on that before we move on. Make
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: sure your hands are not sweaty. The mayor's hands, thankfully,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: were not sweaty.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, I thought you were going to tell me they were.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: You remember the texture of his hands? Oh, yes.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Man, I will never forget shaking Richard Nixon's hands in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the White House when I was a newspaper boy of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: It was 1969.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And that was the coldest, sweatiest hand I had ever
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: shaken in my life.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I have nightmares from that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: So I can assure you that Zoran Mondami's hands were
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: not clammy and sweaty. That's why I continue to hold
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: them all during that ordeal of getting my.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: What did he smell like?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: My smell is really not good. I think you know that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: You were pretty close, though.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I was close.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Smell like lilacs?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: It's the Department of Health. You know what the Department
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of Health smells like? A lot of Lysol.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. A lot of Lysol. Like a senior citizen
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: home when you go to visit, like Lysol. But anyways.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I love that you're reminiscing about that moment, though. That's adorable.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: It really is adorable. Man, has it reverberated all over
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Pro and con.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: For everyone who praises me for crossing the political line,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: another one wants basically to make sure I go away
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: for all time. But this is your day, Larry, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I don't want to rain on your day because today, Tuesday,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and Wednesday, and this includes you, Natalie, but not me,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: October 6th, October 7th, very big day. because it's prime
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: big deal day with Amazon. Now, when we last visited you, Larry,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you were so into buying Amazon that you had boxes
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in your hallway, your foyer that you hadn't even opened
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: up yet. And you, Natalie, you always looking for Amazon deals.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And I told you about my wife. She's Miss Amazon.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: She orders nonstop, which really pisses me off because I
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: hate Jeff Bezos. I hate his wife. I hate everything
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he represents. And actually, I think of him first and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: foremost as Mr. Amazon.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: So Larry, are you looking forward to the start of
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the day?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't, I didn't even know it was
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: today until you mentioned it. I order from Amazon all
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: of the time. I do. I order from Amazon all
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the time. If I need something, I look at Amazon
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and it's amazing how quickly they can get it to you.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: So it is an incredible service and incredible service, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm not, I'm not a person. I never
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: run out for sales. I never think of Amazon.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I should.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's the right thing to do. It's
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: not the proper way to do things. Of course I
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: should be looking for sales. I never do. I don't
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: know why. Natalie, do you look for sales?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Excuse me. I'm looking at Amazon right now. Don't bother me.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I'm looking how I can get a Lego river steamboat set.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: For 30% off.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Wait a second.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Wow. Now that's a good idea. $ 229 for Legos.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: If I can get all of the Christmas presents now.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: See, this is why they do it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Through Amazon Prime. Thank you for that.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I hate you guys for that. You want to.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Know how treacherous and devious I am? I come home
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: from the Atlantic attic on Sunday. It was raining, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a big crowd. And that's how I know we're doing well, Larry.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned, if people haven't heard it before, People
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: knew I was away on Friday. I was up at
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the University of Binghamton. They said, oh, we missed you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: with Larry on Friday.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Very good sign.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Very good sign, which means they've come on over to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: 710WOR in the mornings or they've stayed with 710WOR because
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: they've been tried and true listeners. So Sunday night I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: get home and there is Nancy struggling. She had ordered
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: from Amazon. There was the big Amazon box, which had
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: arrived on Saturday, a filing cabinet.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: What?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: She was trying to put it together. She's very good.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: She's like, she grew up reading Popular Mechanics. I did not.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: She's looking for the instructions. I don't know where I
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: put the instructions.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: And in my pile of papers, as you see before
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: me now, was the instructions.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And guess what?
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I tortured her. You did not.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I would not give her the instructions because I hate
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: every time she orders from Amazon. It destroys the brick
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and mortar fabric of America, the shops, the mom and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: pop shops.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: America is based on retail. And look at all the malls.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: All the malls that have closed. It's a filing cabinet.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Do you expect her to go on the subway, go
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: down to wherever, get a filing cabinet, bring it back?
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Come on.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: This makes it a lot easier for her.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I have another question. What kind of instructions come with
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: a filing cabinet?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: She has to put it together. She has to put
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it all together.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It comes, you know, in one rectangular box. And now
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you've got to build it out. She's good at that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: But without the instructions, she's not that good.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: That sounds like a Timu filing cabinet. That sounds awful.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Now, I would never have done this to a Larry
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and Natalie if she wasn't constantly ordering from Amazon.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll be there in the afternoon. You know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: she has to go out and work. You know, the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: ring and the bell. She said, make sure you answer
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the bell.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And you let them in. They shouldn't ring the bell.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Well, they have to get it. We live in an
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: apartment building.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, they don't want to be.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You don't want them to leave it in the foyer
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: because then all the porch pirates will steal everything. So
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I got to ring the bell and they never get
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in all the way. And you got to keep ringing
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the bell. And then finally they get in. And they
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: look like they could do a home invasion when you
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: actually see them at the door. I'm saying, man, if
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: they weren't working for Amazon, some of these guys look
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: like they could be doing a home invasion. Wow, we
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: have a different experience completely. Our guys are the nicest
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: guys in the world.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: They really are. I had something delivered the other day
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: that had to be signed for from Amazon. And so
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: it was wine that we ordered. We ordered like a
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: case of wine.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: You can order wine from Amazon?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is a new revelation? Yeah, what else have
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: you ordered from Amazon? You are the celebrity shopper in
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: your household.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that you did most of your shopping
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: by ordering on Amazon.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I do. I insist, by the way, on doing all
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the grandkids' Christmas shopping. So when you mentioned Amazon, I
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: went immediately to Amazon to see what toys are on sale.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: If I can get all the Christmas shopping done now
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: and not spend a fortune at the last minute, I'd
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: be a very happy person.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: I'm still shocked about the wine Amazon order. You know
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: what's really bothering you about Amazon now? Well, it's not
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: even Amazon. It's my ring doorbell. See, I used to
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: be able to sneak the Amazon packages in because I'd
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: get home before my husband. Thankfully, the Amazon usually comes
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: before 3 o'clock. I'd grab them. I'd stash them away. Now,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: everybody has a ring doorbell. So you get the notifications.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Package at door.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Packages left the door. So my husband's like, what got
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: delivered today?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like, ugh.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: There's no way I can sneak the packages in now.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: This is not fair.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Because you are addicted. You are addicted to Amazon like Nancy, addicted.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: And you, no doubt, next you'll be getting your groceries
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: from Amazon.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: I've done it before i you because they give you
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: an ad every single time you buy something would you
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: like to buy this and it's all groceries yeah and
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: one time i looked at it and my son loves
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: to get get pizzas and so i ordered a uh
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: I ordered a frozen pizza, two of them. It showed
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: up in an hour.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: An hour?
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: It was at my door in an hour. It's because,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: you see, when you talk about the malls and the
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: local stores and you want to support them, Amazon uses them.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: Amazon uses a lot of their stuff to get to you.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: So if you talk to a lot of these local
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: stores and local workers, they love Amazon.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: What happened to all the Anchor stores? They're gone. Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Saks.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: They're gone. You go to Major Malls, Bergen County, right?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: The mall capital of the world. Natalie, no doubt you
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: shopped till you dropped.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: In Bergen County. There's a Macy's right down the street
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: from me. I mean, it didn't close down. Some of
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: them went down.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: No, but Bergen County, you know, you can't. All the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: stores are closed on Sundays. They observe the blue laws.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: It used to be all, am I right, Natalie? All
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: malls with anchor stores. Are you kidding me?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Now those anchor.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Stores are empty.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: They're closing, yeah. A lot of them are closing. Because
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: of Amazon. Because of Jeff Bezos.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And what's the name of his wife? You know, the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: one with all the artificial things on her.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: What are the artificial things?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, from boobs to everything else. Oh, my God.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Lady, do you think you can wear a decent pair
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: of clothes instead of looking like you're in a strip show?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Only because we're in radio, so nobody can see your
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: hand effects. When you lift up your chest and say
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: the artificial things. Yeah, well, hers are lifted. There's no doubt.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: And she does it on purpose. She does it on purpose.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: I can't. Larry, you just, I.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: When we come back, we got to talk about it.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: The New York Yankees. They're not out. They're not out,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: but they are down. And few teams have come back
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: from where they are now. We'll talk about it next. Plus,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: a chance to see A Bronx Tale, the one-man show
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: starring the man himself from the movie. And he's the writer,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Chaz Palminteri. That's at 825.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: This has been a podcast from WOR.
