- 0:00Speaker 1: Slewa Menty morning starts here Curtis Sliwa and Larry Minty.
- 0:06Speaker 2: In the morning on sevent ten.
- 0:08Speaker 3: Wa Well, I have to admit, Larry and Natalie, I
- 0:13Speaker 3: suffered separation anxiety because you were away on Friday, Larry,
- 0:19Speaker 3: doing your family duty, which was to transport your son
- 0:24Speaker 3: along with your wife down to the start of his
- 0:27Speaker 3: academic he at what I thought was Elon Musk University
- 0:31Speaker 3: somewhere in North Carolina.
- 0:33Speaker 4: But you corrected me. But I have to admit that
- 0:37Speaker 4: I had separation anxiety.
- 0:39Speaker 2: It was so sad. Nice to beat us sad. What
- 0:42Speaker 2: it is true.
- 0:43Speaker 4: As Tom Cuddy, our great program director, said, we're better together.
- 0:47Speaker 4: So I saw that right away. It's almost like I
- 0:50Speaker 4: was missing my right arm here. But we made it
- 0:53Speaker 4: through good teamwork. The Quiet storm Chris on loan from
- 0:56Speaker 4: Mark Simon in studio while Natalie continues to come but
- 1:00Speaker 4: less from the niche surgery.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Chris had a lot, Yes he did, did he really?
- 1:04Speaker 4: Oh?
- 1:04Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh he was a chatterbox. I was sitting in
- 1:07Speaker 2: your seat. I felt that, you know, I had to
- 1:09Speaker 2: talk a little bit more. Did yeah. I was keeping
- 1:11Speaker 2: this I was keeping your seat warm. Right now, you've
- 1:14Speaker 2: talked more than I've ever heard you talk just this moment,
- 1:19Speaker 2: so I believe you.
- 1:20Speaker 4: He was on a him plant and Natalie Magliori, the
- 1:23Speaker 4: two of them like chatterboxes. It was great, except we
- 1:28Speaker 4: missed you, Larry. But what was it like there because
- 1:31Speaker 4: you left when there were threats of inclement whether he
- 1:35Speaker 4: and threats of inclement flooding down in the Middle Atlantic States.
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't hit anything on the way down. On
- 1:42Speaker 2: the way back, wow, we hit just torrential thunderstorm, torrential rain,
- 1:47Speaker 2: lightning flashing all over the place like I had never
- 1:50Speaker 2: seen before. And that was in Virginia going into Maryland.
- 1:53Speaker 2: On the way back. On the way down, it was
- 1:55Speaker 2: really nice. Let me tell you something though, And I
- 1:58Speaker 2: went on a trip as I've talked about a few
- 2:00Speaker 2: months ago out west of Wisconsin, and it is incredible.
- 2:06Speaker 2: I don't want to get political right off the bat,
- 2:08Speaker 2: but it just stuck out to me when you go
- 2:11Speaker 2: from state to state to state to state. So I
- 2:13Speaker 2: went Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington, d C. Maryland, Virginia, then North Carolina.
- 2:21Speaker 2: When I got to North Carolina, I thought I was
- 2:23Speaker 2: going to hear the angels sing. It was incredible. The
- 2:28Speaker 2: road was nicer, the trees on the side were more beautiful.
- 2:33Speaker 2: It was as if I went to another country and
- 2:37Speaker 2: everything was less expensive. GUS was three point fifty nine
- 2:43Speaker 2: in some places. Other places it was a little bit
- 2:45Speaker 2: over three sixteen. Yeah, most places it was up to
- 2:49Speaker 2: like three sixty five or three sixty four. But wow,
- 2:53Speaker 2: it was just so much cheaper for everything. When I
- 2:57Speaker 2: went at the lunch, when I went to the dinner,
- 2:58Speaker 2: everything was cheaper. And and so I just I you
- 3:04Speaker 2: need to know that most of the money you're paying
- 3:06Speaker 2: on things is taxes, and and when Republican states have
- 3:11Speaker 2: lower taxes, that's the big difference between Republicans and Democrats.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Democrats tax a lot, Republicans don't tax as much. That's it.
- 3:18Speaker 5: And I know I wasn't cheaper, No, he wasn't.
- 3:26Speaker 2: And the problem is not my son. The problem is
- 3:30Speaker 2: my wife, who I tried to keep from going because
- 3:33Speaker 2: I knew that anything he asked for he.
- 3:36Speaker 5: Was going to get it, and they were going to
- 3:39Speaker 5: You did the same thing, You do the same thing.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 3:45Speaker 4: Yea.
- 3:45Speaker 2: They would actually sneak off with and and not tell
- 3:48Speaker 2: me so they could buy him more stuff.
- 3:50Speaker 4: What do you mean, didn't he have enough stuff that
- 3:52Speaker 4: you guys were transporting from your home down to his
- 3:56Speaker 4: college dorm.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Yeah, we had plenty of stuff. We had plenty of stuff.
- 4:00Speaker 2: But when he gets there, he sees what other kids
- 4:02Speaker 2: have and he wants what they have, and he happens
- 4:05Speaker 2: to room with some rich kids. And so I'm like,
- 4:09Speaker 2: I can't keep up. Let's go to Goodwill. We'll go
- 4:12Speaker 2: over to good Will and see what. That's what I
- 4:15Speaker 2: did when I was in college. You could do the
- 4:18Speaker 2: same thing, but no, my wife was constantly sneaking off
- 4:21Speaker 2: the more expensive places. So she's not going next time.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 4:25Speaker 4: So what did he need that was so incredibly important
- 4:28Speaker 4: that your wife had to go out with him to
- 4:30Speaker 4: purchase it now before his first.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Day in class. Well, he's going to rush for a
- 4:36Speaker 2: fraternity and he had to have apparently a blue jacket
- 4:40Speaker 2: and some khaki pants for this fraternity and nice clothes,
- 4:44Speaker 2: and so she wanted that. That was all she thought about,
- 4:47Speaker 2: and then for the whole weekend and she went to
- 4:49Speaker 2: rush off. I said, he's got it at home. We
- 4:51Speaker 2: can send him that. He doesn't have to get a
- 4:53Speaker 2: new one. But they snuck off and they got it.
- 4:57Speaker 4: Pledging for that fraternity does not acquire bagging cocaine and
- 5:02Speaker 4: distributing it like yea, you wouldn't be doing that in
- 5:06Speaker 4: khaki pans and a nice blue jacket.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I can assure you that the thing is about Elon.
- 5:12Speaker 2: They're all high there anytime or anyway on life. I mean,
- 5:15Speaker 2: my god, it looks like a Hollywood set. It is
- 5:19Speaker 2: the nicest look in college I've ever seen in my life.
- 5:23Speaker 2: I want to go there. Oh my god, you sound
- 5:27Speaker 2: right now.
- 5:28Speaker 4: It was so early into this program as people are
- 5:30Speaker 4: waking up, getting ready to get their day's activities in
- 5:35Speaker 4: order that you want to move to North Carolina. It's
- 5:38Speaker 4: a better quality of life, it's cheaper, the university is
- 5:41Speaker 4: the best ever.
- 5:42Speaker 2: My god, you got one foot out the door, Larry. No,
- 5:46Speaker 2: what I'm saying is we can be that. It's just
- 5:50Speaker 2: that you have to start voting that. Well, that's what
- 5:52Speaker 2: the problem is.
- 5:54Speaker 4: I appreciate you being so honest, because that's why so
- 5:56Speaker 4: many people from our area, whether it's Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
- 6:00Speaker 4: New York, Connecticut, heading down on North Carolina. You go
- 6:03Speaker 4: to Charlotte, the greatest Charlotte area. Rawley Durham all those areas.
- 6:07Speaker 4: There's all people from the northeast and South Carolina and
- 6:11Speaker 4: Georgia and obviously Florida.
- 6:13Speaker 2: But when I went to Wisconsin, same thing. I drove
- 6:15Speaker 2: through Indiana. Guess was like a dollar fifty lesser gal
- 6:19Speaker 2: and there were no tolls. Everything looked beautiful. I'm thinking
- 6:22Speaker 2: of myself. Life can be like this.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Oh my god, you have a choice now of going
- 6:26Speaker 4: to Wisconsin or Indiana.
- 6:29Speaker 2: I just think people need to make wiser choices when
- 6:32Speaker 2: they vote, because you just keep voting for more taxes,
- 6:35Speaker 2: you keep voting for higher crime, and it's in your head, Oh,
- 6:39Speaker 2: the other side is bad. Why don't you try it.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Take a trip every once in a while, just look
- 6:43Speaker 2: what the hell the other side lives and what their
- 6:46Speaker 2: life is like.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Okay, so that's your son. He's safe and secure, and
- 6:50Speaker 4: you made it back with your wife. She's doing her
- 6:53Speaker 4: radio performance in Philly this morning. You're with us here
- 6:57Speaker 4: where you'll always are. I need to be. But Natalie,
- 7:01Speaker 4: your son, what does he begin his first day of classes?
- 7:05Speaker 5: Well, he's starting his senior year. I have no idea
- 7:09Speaker 5: how that happened, absolutely insane. Haven't seen him all summer
- 7:14Speaker 5: because he's been living there because he had an internship.
- 7:18Speaker 5: But I believe he starts next week, so I don't
- 7:23Speaker 5: get anything except some Vemo requests here and there.
- 7:27Speaker 2: See, we live the same life. By the way her life,
- 7:32Speaker 2: her son is going to be very rich, and I
- 7:35Speaker 2: would like to be his best friend.
- 7:37Speaker 4: How do you know that Natalie's son is going to
- 7:40Speaker 4: be Oh well, how do you know.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Just from all the stories she's telling. He's goes to
- 7:45Speaker 2: Stephens first of all.
- 7:46Speaker 4: Oh man, that's an elite collegen Hoboken. Yeah, he goes
- 7:49Speaker 4: to Stephens first of all. Secondly, he is an amazing
- 7:53Speaker 4: go getter, like he's going out. Neither of my kids
- 7:56Speaker 4: had internships. They were both offered internships.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Both of them stayed home and sucked off of us.
- 8:03Speaker 2: But her son is like already out in his own
- 8:06Speaker 2: is getting jobs, is getting internships. He does so well
- 8:10Speaker 2: at the internships he gets offered a job. I mean,
- 8:13Speaker 2: he is a go getter and he's very small. Now
- 8:15Speaker 2: let me ask you a question. Natalie, your daughter, she's
- 8:18Speaker 2: out of college now right, Yeah.
- 8:20Speaker 5: She finished two degrees a couple of years, two years ago.
- 8:24Speaker 2: I guess half a degree, two degrees. She's a working girl.
- 8:27Speaker 4: But she's a gen Z right, who likes to socialized
- 8:31Speaker 4: with other gen Zers like Chris and Natalie Magleori and
- 8:35Speaker 4: that whole crew.
- 8:36Speaker 2: She would love them, by the way, and never met them.
- 8:39Speaker 2: I understand she was at a gin mill.
- 8:41Speaker 4: She was at a bar in which they had one
- 8:44Speaker 4: of the big seventy two inch big screen TVs you know,
- 8:48Speaker 4: normally promoting sports all the time, those sports bars. Did
- 8:52Speaker 4: you do?
- 8:52Speaker 6: What?
- 8:53Speaker 2: And what happened in the middle of all that? What
- 8:55Speaker 2: appeared on the screen at like twelve o'clock at night?
- 8:59Speaker 2: I get a text then, you know.
- 9:00Speaker 5: You worry.
- 9:01Speaker 2: You're like, oh no, what's the matter.
- 9:02Speaker 5: And there is a picture of a bar and there
- 9:05Speaker 5: is the Curtis Leewa and Larry Minty in the Morning
- 9:09Speaker 5: logo on the TV screen. So I'm like, what is
- 9:14Speaker 5: happening here?
- 9:15Speaker 6: And she's like, they have WPIX on and I guess
- 9:18Speaker 6: there was your commercial. She goes, I was standing there
- 9:21Speaker 6: and I see Larry and Curtis on the screen, so
- 9:23Speaker 6: I grab for my phone and I want to take
- 9:27Speaker 6: a picture.
- 9:27Speaker 2: So, yeah, there you were at midnight.
- 9:30Speaker 6: In a bar.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let's play for our listeners what they're hearing
- 9:34Speaker 4: on WR which is now on network television.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Thanks to you, our listeners.
- 9:40Speaker 1: In just five short months, you've made Curtis Leiwa and
- 9:43Speaker 1: Larry Minty New York's number one morning talk radio show
- 9:48Speaker 1: number six till nine weekdays on sevent Tenor.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Boy, did you tick off your former station?
- 9:55Speaker 6: Oh?
- 9:55Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you mean the Shock Shock shit Rodenberg? He claimed,
- 9:59Speaker 4: you know that he's burying us in the ratings in
- 10:01Speaker 4: the mornings. He's not that I need to retire. I'm not,
- 10:06Speaker 4: but he brags what he says are his ratings. But
- 10:09Speaker 4: I noticed his his owner, who's a billionaire, doesn't advertise
- 10:15Speaker 4: at he's number one. I wonder why he doesn't do that,
- 10:18Speaker 4: because it's all lies. It's all like you got you
- 10:20Speaker 4: gotta be truthful. So here's iHeart, the biggest radio combine
- 10:25Speaker 4: in the country. Our division led by Tom Cutty, our
- 10:29Speaker 4: program director, who has said, I have so much confidence
- 10:32Speaker 4: in Curtis and Larry that we're going to spend money
- 10:35Speaker 4: to advertise this because this is the truth, unlike the
- 10:39Speaker 4: Shock Shock, said Rosenberg, who talks about how great he
- 10:42Speaker 4: is when in fact.
- 10:44Speaker 2: He's not doing that well. So hey, you know, do
- 10:48Speaker 2: your thing over there.
- 10:48Speaker 4: We'll continue to do our thing, But a company that
- 10:52Speaker 4: believes in their.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Product will advertise it.
- 10:55Speaker 4: That's always the case, and apparently over w ABC then
- 11:00Speaker 4: not too sure if shit Rosenberg's going to be around
- 11:02Speaker 4: there all that much longer, or they'd be advertising that
- 11:05Speaker 4: if in fact that ritual. But glory Hawliawski, Alelujah, thank
