  Speaker 1: Now, it's 710WOR Speed on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, we need this mood elevator.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Larry was talking Rob Astorino off to George Washington.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not on now.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: This is a great story. No matter who you are, Republican, Democrat, Independent,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you're going to love it, right?
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 0:21
  Speaker 6: And you know, the perfect thing is leading into the
• 0:23
  Speaker 6: segment was Christmas music, bits of Christmas music. So with
• 0:27
  Speaker 6: skeletons still out on some doorsteps, not in closets, hopefully,
• 0:32
  Speaker 6: Christmas doesn't care because the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is
• 0:37
  Speaker 6: set to roll into town tomorrow morning. Check your calendar.
• 0:42
  Speaker 6: It's November 6th. So is it too early to be
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: stringing the Christmas lights?
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: Absolutely. We're not even at Thanksgiving yet. And I see
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: Christmas lights in my neighborhood. So, yes, I think it's
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: too early.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Look over at CVS over here. They were celebrating Halloween
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in July. Way, way too early. What happened to Thanksgiving?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: It's all Christmas things.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: So every year, they skip over Thanksgiving.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Halloween comes and goes.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: It's like they go right to Christmas and no Thanksgiving.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was the line of the day.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: CBS was celebrating Halloween in July.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: He's absolutely right.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: That actually is what inspired the story. I walk past
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: the 57th Street CBS quite often, and they have Santa
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: Clauses and Mrs. Clauses of all races that you could
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: ever think of in the window. And I was like,
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: we got to ask people what's going on.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: It's not even Halloween yet.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: So those poor turkeys overlooked as the Rockettes are once
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: again kicking at Radio City Hall while the holiday market
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: at Bryant Park is already in full swing. When is
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: it the right time to start playing Christmas music?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: You know, after Halloween, that's a good amount of time
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: to get started.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Doesn't need to be any shorter than that. My birthday
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: is November 15th. So I think.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Before my birthday. Doesn't Santa close the Thanksgiving Day Parade?
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: So any time after Thanksgiving.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Is that okay with you? That's right. After Thanksgiving is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the appropriate time. Not at Light FM.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Up to Cubby, he'd be playing it 24 hours a day,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: every day of the week.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Remember when we were doing the videos? Cubby, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but Light FM traditionally flips its switch to all
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: Christmas music right before Thanksgiving.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: You took that right out.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: It was like you were reading what I had down.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: So when do people start getting sick?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Of the Jingle Bell Rock!
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Alright, December 26th, because by that time you've heard it
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: for two months now. Although I haven't heard my first
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Christmas song yet, but I usually kind of mentally note
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: that date, like, oh, yes, Christmas music start.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: So I used to work at Botanical Gardens, and their
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Christmas playlist is all day, every day. It gets to
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: a point, I feel like even now when I hear
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Christmas music, I'm like, all right, let's skip to the
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: next song.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Once December rolls around, I'm already over it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: I feel like once the new year hits, everybody's ready
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: to just start fresh.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: So for me, by time January 1st, I don't need
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to hear it no more.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: There's some great songs I like from the 80s. George Michael,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Mariah Carey. But Jingle Bells and all those things from
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the old days, I don't need to hear it anymore.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Unless it's Bruce Springsteen's version.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: A man who knows what he wants.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: You know, Mariah Carey, if she gets to the top
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of the charts again, she could take on Ella Langley again.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I'm back.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: You know that high-pitched thing that she defrosts?
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Nobody attack the worst Christmas song of all times, Feliz Navidad.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: If I hear that one more time, I will impale
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: myself with this microphone.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Feliz Navidad is the worst Christmas song.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: Of all time. I would say keep them away from
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Light FM because we never know when they might randomly
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: be playing Feliz Navidad. And then we have Curtis on
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: a stake, and we don't want that before Christmas.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: He hates Silent Night, too.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: Well, I guess he's just a big hater. What is
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: your favorite Christmas song, Curtis?
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Christmas is not big with me.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: We're going to go down the deep roots of why. Oh, yeah.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Let's move on. Do you have a favorite Christmas song?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You know what I love? I love the Springsteen song.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I just love that song. Give that a watch out.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: That one?
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Do I sound like him? Yes, that was very good.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: Try it again. No, we'll save the listeners' ears.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Larry, you know Republicans, conservatives, they're going to say, oh, Larry, oh,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: you're really a Springsteen fan, even though he supported El-Sayed.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: No, I've said this on the air a million times.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: I love how we've managed to make a holiday story
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: about politics. You've just wrapped it all around. The Christmas tree, though,
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: it arrives tomorrow. There is no live GPS tracker on
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: the Christmas tree. It comes from upstate New York this year,
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: about four hours north of Rockefeller Center, and we're just
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: steps away from it. So we'll see when it arrives.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Then it gets under scaffolding for a couple weeks, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: then the lighting is December 2nd. So I'm sure everybody's
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: looking forward to that.
