Highlights for Curtis and Larry. · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Well, Jimmy, failure.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: You go to sleep with Jimmy at night, 9 to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: 12 here at 710WOR, and you wake up with me
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: and Larry in the morning at 6. Yeah. Hey, Jimmy,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I noticed you weren't at the U.S. Open there where
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: they were blazing away so much that Maui Waui and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Hindu Kush, they had a stop play on center court
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: because of the Purple Haze.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm assuming this was her first time in New
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: York because I've never walked a foot. The other day
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: a cop stopped me in Times Square. He's like, are
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: you smoking marijuana, sir? I was like, no.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He's like, well, here you go then. And he just
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: handed me a joint. I love the idea.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Of her trying to make this a playable space, but
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: you're not going to survive in New York if you
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: can't take on the weed.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: That's the sad reality of what we've become.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: How strong must that weed have been for it to
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: float over the court?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: We're in Flushing, Queens. So for that weed to drown
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: out the pee.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Just that alone. Just that alone, from.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: All the Mets fans who get off at that Subway platform,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm talking about.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: The world's largest outdoor urinal. Willits Point. She should actually
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: be thankful for that weed.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: But now, in addition to the weed, people doing puff-puff
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: pass in the high-end seats.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Then, of course, there were the honey deuces for $ 23.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: That's the cocktail with three honeydew melon balls in it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It ain't the nutcrackers that you're used to, Jimmy, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: at Robert Moses State Park. Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you where I started because we
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: used to remember bug juice. Did you guys did your
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: parents anybody drink bug juice?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I went to the beach. It was essentially an Arnold Palmer.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: It was lemonade and it was iced tea and you
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: threw it in a like a Tupperware pitcher.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: And as you got a little older, you realized, like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Grandpa was slurring his speech a lot from the bug
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: juice because they would spike it with vodka or something
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Bug juice.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: We called it bug juice. I don't know where it
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: got its name from. I think a lot of people
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: drank it as an Arnold Palmer.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Okay. But the honey juice is.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Just, you know, for people who like bug juice but
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: want to spend $ 58 instead of the $ 3 we spent
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: because they're expensive. Yeah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Well, what we did was you bring a watermelon in,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you make a hole at the top, you put a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: pint of vodka in, it saturates in the watermelon.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So this way.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: The park ranger can't come around and.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Say you had booze on the beach. But boy, you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: love that watermelon. Oh, you were a mess.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I think it's funny that they're not going to ban
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: the weed.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: No.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: But they are going to ban the influencers. The influencers
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: can't go anymore because apparently they've just been a nuisance.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Because that's the thing. The smell of weed is baked
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: into the cake at this point. We've all made peace
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: with the fact that this is just our life now.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: The influencer is still, you know, a new thing, relatively,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: in the last four or five years. That's just popped up,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: and I think it's one of those universal things we
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: all agree is kind of annoying.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Is that a fair way to put it? It's just annoying.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: In a confined space with a hole out of them?
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Dude, I was in Jackson Hole with Jenny Fela over
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the weekend, which again, Wyoming, amazing.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Jackson Hole with all the masters of the universe, Elon
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Musk and company.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Come on, let's be clear.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Where I rank on the totem pole at Fox News,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: it was like Jermaine Jackson Hole.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I was a Tito Jackson home. Okay.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: It wasn't fancy, but the point is we were out
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: there and you're in the wild and there's like bison
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and there's like bears. And then there's like this gorgeous
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: 19 year old filming a selfie video, walking straight down
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the thruway.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Where the bison are crossing the road.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I have never rooted harder for an animal to spontaneously
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: kill somebody.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And that's not who I am, but influences have made
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: me that guy, you know? Because everywhere you go.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Now, you're actually a B actor in somebody else's movie.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: So I root hard for that bison.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Well, no, the king and queen have demanded that no
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: influences be at Wimbledon next year for their strawberries and cream.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Keep the influences out.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, they want no influencers and no Meghan and Harry.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It's like, nah. Have you heard about.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: This serial nudist in Reddington Township, New Jersey? He's been
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: doing this for years. He rides his bike naked. He
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: has his helmet on. Yeah. But all the rest of them,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: no clothes.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I saw that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: You saw that? They're trying to stop them. Do you
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: know anything?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I know nothing, but I know the first guy who
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: called it in said he had a suspicious package.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Good night, everybody!
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Good night!
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: I gotta go!
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: All right! Okay! Sorry. Sorry, I'm wide awake.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's a crazy story, man. But it's one
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: of those other stories that, like, also gives you perspective.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Because if you remember, like, out on the West Coast,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I was in Portland. They do these nude bike rides.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: That's a known thing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You can look that up.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Where, like, 500 people ride their bikes nude through the
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: community as some form.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Of free expression.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: They do it in Philly?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: So that's the point. If anything, this guy was just
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: failed by his GPS. He is a victim of... Of
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: bad Wi-Fi. That's what he is.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Now, Jimmy, you are a frequent flyer because of all
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the locations you have to go to perform your comedy
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: with big audiences getting bigger and bigger. We thought with
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the end of Spirit Airline, the Rock'em Sock'em Fights disputes,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: racially charged incidences would sort of... Yes. We couldn't have
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: been more hopelessly wrong. You saw that real estate guy
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: from Arizona. He's in first class.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And he's deciding that he isn't like this black flight
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: attendant and he's dropping the N-bomb and other cusses. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's fighting with the person next
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to him and a woman behind him. And then these
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: two guys get up from, of course, Coach, come up
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: there from New Jersey. And the flight attendant apparently has ties,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: plastic ties.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And duct tape.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: And they totally tie the guy up and then duct
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: take him from his navel right up to his head,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: to his seat, his first class seat.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So that he can't talk. He can't say anything. He
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: can't disturb anybody. Right out of the annals of the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: old spirit air life.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Amen.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: But I think we're all missing the plot here. There's
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: a flight attendant who has a side job as a dominatrix.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: For her to be carrying.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: That much tape and zip ties, I mean, what is
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: she doing on the OnlyFans when that plane lands?
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. But you know what
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: made his first mistake?
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: You can't mouth off in first class because everybody in
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: coach hates you by default. So they've been flying coach
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: their whole lives waiting for a guy like this to
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: pop off. And I loved it. What surprised me is
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: you usually see the chaos on the budget airlines. Because
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: of the surprise charges. That's why Spirit was always violent.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: The plane, your ticket was $ 89 to Detroit, but by
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: the time you landed, you owed them $ 468 for your laptop.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Have you ever really flown Spirit Airlines?
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Where they're like, in the event of a change in
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: cabin pressure, swipe your MasterCard or Visa.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Pull down on the oxygen mask. Now, what do you mean?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: You got the two heroes from New Jersey. They own
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: and work at a gun shop. Do you know that
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: once they landed at BWI, Baltimore-Washington International Airport, and they
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: changed everything, cleaned it out, and then continued on to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Newark International, they didn't even give them free drinks.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Nothing? Oh, come on.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, they know.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Well, that would be fair. They gave them no complimentary drinks.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Just basically, thank you. That would be fair. Drinks is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: what got them into this mess. Hey, listen, we'd love
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to hear from you.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: for Jimmy Fallon. Ask him anything you want. You could
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: win a Curtis Lee and Larry Minty in the morning t-shirt.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: That's going to be awarded to our favorite talkback of
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: the morning. And while you're there, go ahead and sign
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: up and set a preset for 710WOR. That was kind
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: of a way to change the tone a little bit.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Because, you know, this is the 9-11 week. Do you
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: have memories?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So many.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was here and my brother was a
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: city cop. My brother Jerry was a city cop. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: he was one of those guys that was brave enough
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: on his day off to rush down there. And I
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: was brave enough to drive him to the train. He
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: went into Queens. I didn't really drive him directly to
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the train. We drove him to where his sergeant turned
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: out of off the Clearview. And then they went into
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: the city from there. And he spent probably the next
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: six months out in Staten Island. They sent a lot
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: of guys to the dumps that were raking debris. You know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: he was at 9-11 day of. He was there by
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: about 11 a.m. But he spent the next six months
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: out there at the pile in Staten Island. My best
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: friend growing up at Division Avenue High School in Levittown,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Ray DeVito, is a Port Authority cop. He was about
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a week into his career when it happened. And he
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: was there day of and spent basically the next 10
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: months down there at the pit. And thankfully, it's OK.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: He didn't get like any of those retroactive cancers that
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: we hear too much about, which is really sad stuff.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: But what I loved about it as a New Yorker
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: is we got this 17 to 20 day window of
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: people actually, you know, driving around, letting you merge in traffic,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: using their blinkers, putting American flags on their antennas. By
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: about October 1st, we were back to giving each other
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: the finger and throwing bottles of pee at each other.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: But I'll never forget those 17 days where it was
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: so bizarre to drive around New York.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Everybody was friendly. Everybody was a Yankee fan.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, loving one another. Yeah.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Looking for American flags that were made in red China.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: They ran out of them at Wauwat. But I'm glad
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: you brought up the fresh kills in landfill.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Every particuli of debris was loaded on barges in Hudson River.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: When it's loaded on the barges, all the toxic fumes
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: are going up in the air.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And it's taking a fresh.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: It's laid out on the hill. And there are men
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and women, I was there twice, in hazmat suits with
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: little rakes going through all the particuli looking for any
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: DNA that could clearly identify a casualty so that the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: family could clearly say, okay. now we can rest in peace.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: That was really grim. My brother, Joey, was one of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: those guys.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: He was out there in Staten Island almost five, six
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: nights a week because they didn't get a lot of
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: time off in that window in the initial phase. But
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: what you see in those horrible moments is you see
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: the best of humanity. There's no silver lining to something
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: like September 11th, but if you ever want to reinforce
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: your faith in How there's so many more good people
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: than bad people. Because we live in this era where
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: the squeaky wheels get the most grease. That's most of
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: what we cover in the media. And it has a
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: way of convincing you they're a majority. But they're not
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: a majority. You know, 9-11 is the proof that they're
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: outnumbered like 99 to 1. You know, we just didn't
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: have social media back then.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: That's really well said. It was the worst day, but
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: it was the best of humanity. Absolutely. When we come back,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: we are looking forward to your talkbacks for Jimmy Fallon.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Because we have more of Jimmy Fallon when we come back.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: It's 710WOR' s Beat on the Street with Natalie Migliore.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: All this week, Natalie Migliore is going to dedicate her
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Beat on the Street, of course, to 9-11 and the
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: memories of 9-11 that still has scarred not only the country,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: but especially New York City. And this morning, Natalie, I
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: understand you're talking to some young people who have memories
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: of that day.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this Friday marks 25 years since the September 11th attacks.
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: And I ask anyone often over a certain age about
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: that day. And I typically watch them get this far
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: away look in their eyes and say, almost across the board,
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: I remember that day like it was yesterday. And we
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: often hear stories about the people who ran into the rubble,
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: the people who escaped. But what about the youngest kids
• 12:04
  Speaker 7: who were maybe in classrooms at the time? That's where
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: we meet Will Feehan, a musician whose grandfather was first
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: deputy FDNY commissioner William Feehan, who died during the collapse.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: Will says it felt as though he got picked up
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: from school that day as soon as he was dropped off.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: You know, I was five, so I consider it my
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: first memory, like at least my first full day that
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: I remember. To speak on the feelings, you know, there's
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: an ignorance of a little child where it's like commotion
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: is exciting. And you don't know what's happening. And I'm five.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: I'm getting picked up in a police car. And I'm like, oh,
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: you know, the cop is being awesome with me, giving
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: me his police ID card and stuff. You know, so
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: people wanted to make sure my emotions were high and
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: I wasn't feeling it until the end of the day.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: So I'm playing with my cousins out on the street.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: And then finally we go inside and it's, you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: the family, you can feel it. You can feel the trauma.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: You can feel the kind of despair. So I remember
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: all that.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: So these are sort of the first memories of a
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: young child who's sort of realizing that this day is
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: way more serious than it started out. Taking a police escort,
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: Will told me, all the way from his school in
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: New Jersey to New York City, where his grandfather lived
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: at the time. And even with no direct connection, the
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: day has impacted Cam, who's in her 30s now, a
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: native New Yorker, who says if nothing else, If nothing else,
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: first responders and those who serve our country deserve more
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: respect than they've been given.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, I was six years old when 9-11 happened.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: It was a really scary day. And I just think
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: that it's important that we do honor it, that we
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: commemorate it, that I think that it's not a day off. Like,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: I think it's also weird in America. The whole like
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Memorial Day thing is like not really a memorial. Like
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: there are some people do it, but it's also, oh,
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: what are we barbecuing that day? And it's like, I'm Israeli.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: So for me, it's like Memorial Day is a heavy
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: day in Israel. So I just think that like here,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: we need to treat 9-11 with respect. We need to
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: show the world that we also don't forget what happened here.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: And here's how we're moving forward. And here's how we're
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: trying to make the city feel safer for those that
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: love New York City.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: How do you feel listening to that?
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: That was great. No, I was nodding my head as
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I was listening to it. Yeah, absolutely. She's unbelievably correct.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, they have the solemn occasion in Israel.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: followed immediately by the celebration of the Independence Day. So
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: they go from complete depression to complete exhilaration based on
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the independence of Israel and Ben-Gurion leading them as an
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: initial country.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: Now, we're going to turn back to 9-11, but as
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: Will and Will said, sees the memory of that day
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: fade for many generations who weren't born yet. And we'll
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: get to that later this week when it comes to
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: the education and what we're doing about that. Even those
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: who were people around my age, people around his age.
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: But he has a different connection to this day because
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: of his grandpa.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: Even my closest friends that are New Yorkers, New Jersey,
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: and even were in Manhattan at the time, don't think
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: about it ever, you know, unless it's brought up. For us, it's,
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to say 25 years later, I think
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: of it every single day. I think of him every
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: single day, but I don't think of it every day.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: But absolutely, it's an identifier in our family.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Because it comes with immense pride. You know, he absolutely
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: would have wanted to be there. There's no, it was
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: the greatest fire technically in the city's history. He wouldn't
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: have missed that for anything. If he was retired, he
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: would have went down there. Like that's the kind of
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: guy he was.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: And that's, as I talk to people and throughout this
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: whole week, you'll see that people who were there, survivors,
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: people who were first responders, just like the first deputy commissioner,
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: people say there was nowhere else to be that day
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: but down at the towers, but down responding. So it's
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: really interesting to see even this guy who was a
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: kid at the time, he's just so proud, even though
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: his grandfather died, he's just so proud of what has.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: What that legacy was left.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: And so Will's family is actually very involved in keeping
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: the memory alive because his mother, Beth, and Anne McCartan,
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: they worked together on a podcast called Aftermath 9-11 Stories
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: of Hope and Resilience. And that's sort of how we
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: found a lot of these people. But it airs on
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: our station. So it's been great to sort of meet
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: these people and hear their stories in a different light.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I had a long conversation with her. She is amazing.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: And the podcast is absolutely amazing as well. What strikes
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: me about all of the people you talk to, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it's more than when we just heard, is
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: they have memories. I can't remember anything when I was
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: six or even eight. I have no memories of that.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: But these memories, because of that day, are vivid. That's amazing.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Even mine is very vivid. And I wasn't that old yet.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: Everybody's always shocked when I say that, but I remember
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: that day.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I wish more younger people would have those memories, but
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: we look forward to the rest of this week and
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: your interviews each and every morning in terms of the
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: importance and the commemoration of 9-11 on Friday.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: That was wonderful. It was really good. Natalie Migliore is
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: going to be back tomorrow morning. As Curtis just said,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: it's 7.50.
