Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 4: The Odyssey
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Larry.
- 0:00Speaker 2: The news psych was moving so quickly since we spoke
- 0:04Speaker 2: with John Deker, our White House correspondent, in the seven
- 0:07Speaker 2: o'clock hour, about what our President Donald Trump was saying
- 0:10Speaker 2: yesterday about Iran and also Saudi Arabia allowing them to
- 0:15Speaker 2: develop nuclear fuel. He's now added in addendum to that,
- 0:20Speaker 2: he's announced, Yeah, I'm gonna let the Crown Prince in
- 0:23Speaker 2: Saudi Arabia develop the nuclear fuel, but in return they
- 0:28Speaker 2: have to join the Abraham Accords. So that's major news.
- 0:32Speaker 2: And then secondarily, the Hooties in Yemen. The client state
- 0:36Speaker 2: of Iran said they had bombed two Saudi oil tankers
- 0:42Speaker 2: going through the Red Sea, and the President has said,
- 0:45Speaker 2: for that act trying to expand this war, we are
- 0:49Speaker 2: going to bomb the hooties again in Yemen. So that
- 0:52Speaker 2: gives you just two updates in two hours.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Yeah, the hooth Is we've been hitting now for twenty
- 0:58Speaker 3: five years, if you remember, during the Biden administration, we
- 1:02Speaker 3: launch strikes against them. Obama has launched strikes against them.
- 1:07Speaker 3: I think there has to be a certain time where
- 1:09Speaker 3: we hold Yemen responsible or we just take them out.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Because it's a small group, it's not a big group.
- 1:16Speaker 1: It's an offshoot.
- 1:18Speaker 3: But yeah, they made the mistake of bragging that they
- 1:20Speaker 3: hit a ship, and so they kind of brought this
- 1:22Speaker 3: upon themselves. And I'm all for it. I think the
- 1:26Speaker 3: Houthis have been a pain in the neck for a
- 1:30Speaker 3: long time. They've killed a lot of people, they've hit
- 1:33Speaker 3: a lot of ships, they've hit our warships in the past,
- 1:36Speaker 3: and so I'm all for this. This is great news.
- 1:40Speaker 3: We're going after the houthis Lan. Let's talk about Mikey
- 1:44Speaker 3: Cheryl because everybody else is now. She's become the talk
- 1:48Speaker 3: of the country. If you've been watching CNN, if you've
- 1:53Speaker 3: been watching ms NOW, Fox News, all the networks. It
- 1:58Speaker 3: was bigger news than I expected it to be yesterday.
- 2:02Speaker 3: And the reason it was such big news is because,
- 2:06Speaker 3: if you remember, the Democrats constantly said, oh no, that
- 2:11Speaker 3: never happens. They laughed it off. It was silly. Why
- 2:15Speaker 3: there's nobody illegal voting, And she came out and she
- 2:19Speaker 3: said no. Back in twenty twenty four, yes, we had
- 2:24Speaker 3: at least four hundred people voting, but we had six
- 2:27Speaker 3: six hundred registered. And she said that she put an
- 2:31Speaker 3: end to it, which she didn't. Governor Murphy put an
- 2:34Speaker 3: end to it and then kept it secret. But she
- 2:37Speaker 3: wanted to come out in front of this because she
- 2:39Speaker 3: knew a bigger investigation was coming. Then she blamed some
- 2:42Speaker 3: software and she said the software when you went to
- 2:46Speaker 3: get a license, which, by the way, if you're here illegally,
- 2:49Speaker 3: you shouldn't be getting a license. But anyway, if you
- 2:51Speaker 3: wanted to get a license, you get a license, and
- 2:54Speaker 3: then they ask you if you also want us to
- 2:57Speaker 3: register you to vote now today the credit all the
- 3:02Speaker 3: people or most of the people said no. But for
- 3:05Speaker 3: some reason, Mikey Cheryl claims there was a glitch in
- 3:09Speaker 3: the software and they were automatically put on the voting rolls. Well,
- 3:14Speaker 3: the people that make the software said, we don't even
- 3:16Speaker 3: have that capability. I don't know where she got that from.
- 3:19Speaker 3: But this is not us. We can show you, and
- 3:22Speaker 3: we've had this working in other states. Nobody's had a problem.
- 3:26Speaker 3: So it sounds as if there was something the fairy
- 3:29Speaker 3: is going on. If it's not the software, then how
- 3:33Speaker 3: did all of these people get onto the voting rolls
- 3:37Speaker 3: unless someone put them there? And if they put them there,
- 3:43Speaker 3: who else? So if this is a much bigger investigation,
- 3:47Speaker 3: now the DOJ has announced it's going to investigate. This
- 3:51Speaker 3: is going to now spread. It's not going to just
- 3:53Speaker 3: be in New Jersey. Now they're going to spread this
- 3:55Speaker 3: to other states. Curtis, you've said they should definitely be looking.
- 3:59Speaker 1: At New York.
- 4:00Speaker 3: So this is a bigger story than just yesterday Mikey
- 4:05Speaker 3: Cheryl trying to get out in front of this. She
- 4:08Speaker 3: also lied about it, and it shot off alarms all
- 4:12Speaker 3: across the country, in other states and especially in the
- 4:15Speaker 3: federal government. So now this is going to be a
- 4:17Speaker 3: bigger campaign issue. And what the Republicans are hoping for,
- 4:21Speaker 3: Curtis is this will help push the Save America Act
- 4:25Speaker 3: through the House. In the Senate, it just it just
- 4:28Speaker 3: passed an important hurdle in the House. The problem has
- 4:31Speaker 3: always been the Senate. So we're going to see now
- 4:33Speaker 3: what happens.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Well, I think we could have probably peered into the
- 4:38Speaker 2: offices of the New Jersey State Attorney General last night.
- 4:42Speaker 2: With all of the minions working away, they're going to
- 4:46Speaker 2: go to court. They're going to try to block you know,
- 4:49Speaker 2: Department of Justice, Cash Pattel, his people or whoever else
- 4:54Speaker 2: catches signed by Trump to come in here and vet
- 4:56Speaker 2: the rols. So they're going to try to fill about
- 5:00Speaker 2: to that. But I remember yesterday I said as much
- 5:03Speaker 2: as New Jersey is at fault, and clearly the governor,
- 5:07Speaker 2: the helicopter governor, wanted to get ahead of it because
- 5:10Speaker 2: some publication was gonna drop it. That's why politicians do
- 5:15Speaker 2: these preemptive press conferences out of nowhere.
- 5:18Speaker 4: It hadn't even been discussed of lad so boom, she
- 5:21Speaker 4: drops it.
- 5:22Speaker 2: As you said, it wasn't properly vetted out, properly resourced
- 5:26Speaker 2: by her.
- 5:26Speaker 4: She just tried to get ahead of the curve.
- 5:28Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, Tiss James is probably likewise planning
- 5:34Speaker 2: on doing something in New York because you know they're
- 5:35Speaker 2: gonna come to New York too. And in states where
- 5:39Speaker 2: you can get a driver's license without being a citizen,
- 5:42Speaker 2: where you're supposed to check off a box, now, this
- 5:45Speaker 2: is the lunacy of the issue of signing your own box,
- 5:50Speaker 2: acknowledging that you know, as a illegal alien, a migrant,
- 5:54Speaker 2: you do not have the right to vote. You have
- 5:56Speaker 2: to check it and say, I realize this is a
- 5:59Speaker 2: federal crime. Well, first off, nobody ever goes after you.
- 6:04Speaker 2: There have been such miniskuled times that anybody has ever
- 6:08Speaker 2: been tried or gone to jail for voting twice, never
- 6:10Speaker 2: mind for voting illegally. So you know it's happening here,
- 6:14Speaker 2: you know what's happening in other states. I think this
- 6:16Speaker 2: gives us an opportunity put aside the politics. We got
- 6:20Speaker 2: to clean up these voting roles, the rules. I mean roles,
- 6:23Speaker 2: because I don't care what state it is. People die,
- 6:26Speaker 2: people move on, people who are on the role who
- 6:30Speaker 2: shouldn't be on the rolls. With computers now, it's not
- 6:33Speaker 2: a difficult thing to do. You don't have to do
- 6:35Speaker 2: it manually. I can't say it enough. But in New
- 6:38Speaker 2: York State, which has the most arcane registration rules to
- 6:43Speaker 2: qualify candidates, Republicans have the hardest time because they are
- 6:46Speaker 2: less Republicans. I got so frustrated in both campaigns twenty
- 6:50Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty twenty five. You have to have a
- 6:52Speaker 2: certain number of registered Republican voters. It's never equal to
- 6:58Speaker 2: the roles because people have moved on, they've died. Yes,
- 7:01Speaker 2: So I would always tell the canvas says, look, check
- 7:05Speaker 2: to see if they have an American flag outside at
- 7:07Speaker 2: that house. Nine times out of ten that's going to
- 7:10Speaker 2: be a Republican. Don't knock yourself out going door to
- 7:13Speaker 2: do it, because most of those people answering, they're like, huh,
- 7:16Speaker 2: that's so sad.
- 7:17Speaker 1: What you said.
- 7:18Speaker 3: And I think everybody was nodding their head out there
- 7:20Speaker 3: that it's mostly Republicans that would raise the flag. But listen,
- 7:25Speaker 3: eighty percent of Americans want ID shown when they vote, sure,
- 7:29Speaker 3: and most Americans something like sixty percent want either a
- 7:33Speaker 3: birth certificate or a passport shown when you register. You
- 7:37Speaker 3: don't have to show it to vote, but when you
- 7:39Speaker 3: register you have to prove that you are a US citizen.
- 7:43Speaker 3: That it just makes complete sense, and so exactly why
- 7:47Speaker 3: so you what you said is very logical.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Clean up the roles.
- 7:50Speaker 3: I get that we wouldn't have to clean up the
- 7:53Speaker 3: roles if that you required ID when people got there
- 7:56Speaker 3: to vote, that wouldn't even be necessary. And I, for
- 8:00Speaker 3: the life of me, don't understand why the Democrats are
- 8:04Speaker 3: fighting something that everybody is for unless they know this
- 8:09Speaker 3: has happening, of course, unless they want to cheat.
- 8:11Speaker 4: There's no doubt.
- 8:12Speaker 2: But let me take it one step further, Larry, because
- 8:15Speaker 2: we know there's a lot of corruption with Social Security cards.
- 8:18Speaker 2: You get a number when you're birthed here, or you
- 8:21Speaker 2: get one when you come here and you jump through
- 8:23Speaker 2: the hoops, and then you get a social Security number
- 8:27Speaker 2: that permits you to be able to go out and
- 8:29Speaker 2: work and you give this to your employee and get
- 8:31Speaker 2: benefits later.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Wrong, but think of this.
- 8:35Speaker 4: It's a little card with a number on it. There's
- 8:38Speaker 4: no photo ID.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I can take you, Larry, and it's not just here,
- 8:42Speaker 2: but I can take you on the number seven train.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Not to watch the Mets at City Field, but right
- 8:48Speaker 2: to seventy fourth and Broadway and walk all the way
- 8:51Speaker 2: through Corona.
- 8:52Speaker 4: And Jackson Heights.
- 8:52Speaker 2: On tables they're selling fake social Security cards of real
- 8:57Speaker 2: people who've died.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Oh, I guess the roads.
- 9:00Speaker 1: No, I get it.
- 9:01Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, Jose who's just newly arrived
- 9:04Speaker 2: from Venezuela is walking around with a Social Security card
- 9:08Speaker 2: that says John Smith.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 9:11Speaker 3: You know, most of the people in this area that
- 9:13Speaker 3: are listening right now have a Democratic representative, because that's
- 9:17Speaker 3: just the way it is in New Jersey and Connecticut
- 9:20Speaker 3: and in New York. Give me a favor and call them.
- 9:23Speaker 3: And this really does resonate. If there's a lot of
- 9:26Speaker 3: phone calls, call them and tell them how upset you
- 9:29Speaker 3: are that they're not supporting the Save America Act. They
- 9:32Speaker 3: need to hear that from you. Curtis and I talking
- 9:35Speaker 3: about it's not going to do anything. If you call,
- 9:37Speaker 3: if you're a voter and you call and you register
- 9:40Speaker 3: and everything is taken down, I can assure you with that,
- 9:43Speaker 3: it will have an impact if there's enough of you.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Notice when you lose your ID, I can't do anything
- 9:51Speaker 2: without my ID, right.
- 9:52Speaker 1: People, exactly, you can't do anything.
- 9:55Speaker 2: And yet one of the most important things you're ever
- 9:58Speaker 2: going to do in your whole life is to ex
- 10:00Speaker 2: size that privilege to vote. And all you have to
- 10:03Speaker 2: do to sign up is have a horizon build that
- 10:05Speaker 2: says you haven't.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Sometimes you don't need anything. You just got to sign
- 10:10Speaker 3: a document. Hey, you know, I love Wahwah. Used to
- 10:14Speaker 3: work at a wah Wah. I love them even more
- 10:16Speaker 3: because of the story yesterday there was birth out of

- 11:57Speaker 1: Just imagine this scenario.
- 12:00Speaker 3: You're in labor and you're trying to make it as
- 12:03Speaker 3: quickly as you can to the hospital because you know
- 12:06Speaker 3: this is moving along quickly. Well, that exact same scenario
- 12:11Speaker 3: happened to Taylor and fill Durham in New Jersey. So
- 12:15Speaker 3: they were driving to Virtua to get you know, because
- 12:20Speaker 3: their doctors were waiting. They notified them ahead of time.
- 12:23Speaker 3: They said, look, she's about to give birth the Virtua
- 12:25Speaker 3: Medical Center. But the labor was progressing too fast. On
- 12:29Speaker 3: the ride there, and they saw some emergency on the road,
- 12:33Speaker 3: so they knew a lot of police cars were there
- 12:35Speaker 3: and they thought, okay, this is a good place maybe
- 12:37Speaker 3: to pull over. And there was a wah wah right
- 12:40Speaker 3: there in Berlin Burrow and they pulled over and they
- 12:45Speaker 3: started to wave down, Hey, hey, we need help, we
- 12:48Speaker 3: need help, and an officer showed up, Patrolman Dominick Hudson.
- 12:53Speaker 3: Let's first hear from Taylor Durham about what she was
- 12:56Speaker 3: going through.
- 12:58Speaker 5: We were driving them around a couple minutes. At this point,
- 13:01Speaker 5: I was definitely in labor.
- 13:04Speaker 3: So Patrolman Hodson admits he had no idea what to do.
- 13:10Speaker 6: It was a little nerve wracking. I don't have any children,
- 13:13Speaker 6: never delivered baby, so I didn't know what they expect.
- 13:16Speaker 3: Well, she gave birth in the seat of her car,
- 13:20Speaker 3: in the back seat. They moved her to her back so
- 13:22Speaker 3: she could lay down. She gave birth in the back
- 13:24Speaker 3: seat with the help. Who never did this before? Of
- 13:29Speaker 3: Patrolman Dominick Hudson, I stepped up, you.
- 13:32Speaker 6: Know, picked a baby up, made sure the baby was breathing,
- 13:35Speaker 6: wiped the fluids away from the news in the mouth.
- 13:38Speaker 3: How about that for somebody that had no idea what
- 13:40Speaker 3: they were supposed to do. Took the newborn baby and
- 13:43Speaker 3: made sure that all of the breathing passages were cleared.
- 13:47Speaker 3: What a double mench myself tough, That's amazing.
- 13:51Speaker 6: I would say, how slippery the baby was. He had
- 13:54Speaker 6: a lot of fluids on. It wasn't expecting that with
- 13:56Speaker 6: the rubber gloves.
- 13:57Speaker 3: They said to him, what was your biggest and what
- 14:01Speaker 3: did you learn from this? And he said, I thought
- 14:03Speaker 3: I was going to drop the baby. The baby is
- 14:05Speaker 3: so slippery. I didn't know that I had gloves on.
- 14:08Speaker 3: I put rubber gloves on it. But anyway, there's sellom.
- 14:11Speaker 3: This happened back. We're just hearing about it now. But
- 14:13Speaker 3: this happened back on July sixth, and now the baby
- 14:17Speaker 3: is doing great, the patrol man is going to get
- 14:20Speaker 3: an award, and what It's just a wonderful story and
- 14:23Speaker 3: no better place to go than a wah wah.
- 14:25Speaker 2: Well, because you are an alumni, Yeah, you actually have
- 14:30Speaker 2: the credit of having worked. Yet you aren't born with
- 14:33Speaker 2: a silver spoon in your mouth big enough to offset
- 14:36Speaker 2: the trade balance between the Red Chinese and the United States.
- 14:39Speaker 4: You had it, you had a work ah wah wah.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I worked all my life. I was a paper
- 14:43Speaker 1: boy before that. Yeah.
- 14:44Speaker 3: Absolutely, I made it to assistant manager.
- 14:47Speaker 2: By the way, I gotta tell you, I love waha
- 14:51Speaker 2: wah wah wah wah wah wah wah. They closed them
- 14:55Speaker 2: all in downtown Philly. I used to go there. It's
- 14:57Speaker 2: wow Jersey.
- 14:59Speaker 4: I mean, it's like wa food.
- 15:01Speaker 3: It's great. It's it's wonderful. There's nothing like it. Anyway,
- 15:04Speaker 3: let's tell you, Johnny Aleazinski is here. When you said
- 15:07Speaker 3: gourmet food. He actually showed disgust there for a second.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Have you ever been to ah wah Wah?
- 15:13Speaker 5: I haven't, and I am not an elitist.
- 15:15Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 15:17Speaker 5: Yes, I would love a wah wah.
- 15:19Speaker 2: By the way, we can get you a Taco bell,
- 15:23Speaker 2: super crusty taco.
- 15:25Speaker 5: Please don't say taco bell to me.
- 15:27Speaker 1: I don't want.
- 15:27Speaker 5: I don't want any of that painted lettuce.
- 15:30Speaker 4: A taco Bell.
- 15:31Speaker 3: He gave some to Elvis Duran and their crew and
- 15:35Speaker 3: he brought it in.
- 15:35Speaker 5: They ate it is Elvis one of your enemies. Because
- 15:38Speaker 5: I got.
- 15:39Speaker 4: Yes, he is, because my wife Nancy listens to that show. Ours.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Let's get some talkbacks in.
- 15:45Speaker 7: I feel compelled to speak up for the pharmaceutical industry
- 15:48Speaker 7: because I've been working in it for almost thirty years.
- 15:52Speaker 7: You mentioned Bill Shantner and his daughter having stage foot,
- 15:55Speaker 7: being diagnosed with stage four cancer ten years ago.
- 15:59Speaker 1: That was a death sentence.
- 16:01Speaker 7: Ten years later, they are cancer free after their diagnosis.
- 16:06Speaker 7: That's amazing and it's all I'm going.
- 16:08Speaker 1: To get that.
- 16:09Speaker 3: Yeah, really, well said, they're miracle workers.
- 16:12Speaker 8: All this talk about taco bell is bringing me back
- 16:15Speaker 8: to my youth. When I was a kid, I thought
- 16:19Speaker 8: Taco Bell was the Mexican phone company.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Oh man.
- 16:28Speaker 2: And you know something, most people, when I was talking
- 16:31Speaker 2: to them at Taco Bell yesterday on thirty six and six,
- 16:34Speaker 2: think it's a Mexican company. No, it's American in California.
- 16:37Speaker 2: They try to open up in Mexico twice.
- 16:40Speaker 4: It didn't work.
- 16:41Speaker 1: I wonder why, Curtis.
- 16:43Speaker 9: It amazes me that you think the country's going to
- 16:45Speaker 9: fall apart because we don't have somebody to pick crops
- 16:49Speaker 9: and stuff.
- 16:49Speaker 4: Get over yourself.
- 16:51Speaker 9: The country will survive without immigrants, illegal immigrants, thank you.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Oh by the way, you're willing to go out there
- 16:57Speaker 2: in the hot, sweltering heat and pick crops. My three
- 17:00Speaker 2: sons ain't doing that, and your three sons of grandchildren
- 17:04Speaker 2: ain't doing that either.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a ridiculous argument because I used to live
- 17:07Speaker 3: in San Diego and they would come over with work
- 17:10Speaker 3: permits and they were able to stay, as a matter
- 17:12Speaker 3: of fact, with work permits to pick the crops. So no,
- 17:16Speaker 3: And I feel bad for the people that want to
- 17:18Speaker 3: come in legally that can't because so many came in illegally.
- 17:22Speaker 3: They'd love those jobs, but they don't get enough.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you like your milk and your coffee in
- 17:27Speaker 2: the morning. Right, what do you think is milking? Elsie?
- 17:29Speaker 2: Upstate New York?

- 20:41Speaker 4: I read that review.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Really that bad King of Philops, he called him.
- 20:47Speaker 5: All I do is come on this program with facts
- 20:50Speaker 5: and figures and data. I'm I can prove my point,
- 20:56Speaker 5: it's not like I just decided that The Rock was
- 20:59Speaker 5: a terrible actor.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Though he is.
- 21:01Speaker 5: He is a horrible, horrible, horrible actor. The last five
- 21:05Speaker 5: years of films this guy has made, uh, Moana, Jungle Cruise,
- 21:11Speaker 5: Red one. We're talking hundreds, hundreds of millions of dollars
- 21:15Speaker 5: down the drain. The audience doesn't want to go to them.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Is whatever appeal he once had for slugging people and
- 21:22Speaker 5: taking folding chairs and bashing their heads in, it's gone,
- 21:26Speaker 5: so nobody wants to see him anymore.
- 21:28Speaker 3: You're not gonna count Malwana, the animated.
- 21:30Speaker 5: Movie that was That was ten years ago.
- 21:33Speaker 1: No, it wasn't twenty four November twenty twenty four. That was.
- 21:36Speaker 1: That's that's made a billion dollars.
- 21:37Speaker 5: Oh Moana two, Okay, it made a bit, But it's
- 21:40Speaker 5: a voice. It's a voice. Who cares about voices. I
- 21:42Speaker 5: see a lot of animated movies and I couldn't tell
- 21:44Speaker 5: you who the voices are. That is not The Rock.
- 21:47Speaker 5: Wasn't selling Moana. The kids, the little kids that like,
- 21:51Speaker 5: you know, the Moana doll, that's what's selling Moana. But
- 21:53Speaker 5: then when he comes on and we actually see him, Oh,
- 21:55Speaker 5: we actually see him in his awful screen presence. Then
- 21:59Speaker 5: everyone was like always don't want to see live action more.
- 22:01Speaker 2: You know, last week was Sinatra, right, the week before
- 22:07Speaker 2: it was Taylor Swift and her Hillbilly Hudgman, you must
- 22:11Speaker 2: be have a death wish. A dead man walking is Johnny.
- 22:14Speaker 5: Oh, you don't like that Taylor Swift wedding either, So
- 22:16Speaker 5: don't don't don't read that history over there.
- 22:19Speaker 3: No, don't you understand if he attacks some icons like
- 22:22Speaker 3: the Rock and Taylor Swift, he's gonna get hits. He's
- 22:24Speaker 3: gonna get red. He doesn't care if he's hated, just
- 22:27Speaker 3: so the people read him and and follow him on
- 22:29Speaker 3: social media.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Am I right?
- 22:31Speaker 5: You know you've been you've been introducing me on this
- 22:33Speaker 5: show for years now, You've been you've been introducing me
- 22:36Speaker 5: for years. And he said, next up the entertainment critic
- 22:39Speaker 5: critic from the New York Post. And then then you know,
- 22:42Speaker 5: then one of you will mispronounced my last name. And
- 22:44Speaker 5: that's fine. It's my job is a critic. I'm here
- 22:47Speaker 5: to judge, I'm here to evaluate, I'm here to have opinions. Well,
- 22:50Speaker 5: people don't read that. They don't want to read me.
- 22:52Speaker 5: For it's not Johnny Pedia. They want opinions.
- 22:54Speaker 2: My god, you couldn't have been nicer to the Dolly
- 22:58Speaker 2: Parton Broadway Shop. If you tried any hard hit, I mean,
- 23:03Speaker 2: you're like going got goog Okay.
- 23:06Speaker 5: I have not yet seen it. This was a story
- 23:08Speaker 5: I wrote yesterday about two musicals coming. There's the Dolly
- 23:12Speaker 5: Parton Musical and the Paddington Musical. Both cost thirty million dollars.
- 23:16Speaker 5: There's a lot of money, but I have sources. My
- 23:19Speaker 5: sources tell me that the Dolly Parton show is selling
- 23:22Speaker 5: surprisingly well the tickets. They've announced it two weeks ago
- 23:26Speaker 5: and tickets have been moving. They she didn't do any
- 23:28Speaker 5: national interviews for it. There hasn't been any marketing yet,
- 23:31Speaker 5: and people are, especially groups of people are buying tickets
- 23:35Speaker 5: and the thing. The show didn't get very well received
- 23:38Speaker 5: when it tried out in Nashville, but Dolly Parton is
- 23:41Speaker 5: just so rawly appealing to people people love. They don't
- 23:44Speaker 5: love the rock, oh, they don't love the rock anymore,
- 23:46Speaker 5: but they love Dolly Party They do love the rock.
- 23:49Speaker 3: And you just decided, oh, his one billion dollar movie,
- 23:52Speaker 3: I'm not gonna count because it doesn't make my point.
- 23:55Speaker 5: Because I can't see his face. You can't see his face.
- 23:58Speaker 5: And it's not that it's not about the rock, but
- 24:00Speaker 5: Dolly Parton. I think this musical it has a chance,
- 24:03Speaker 5: It has a chance. Do you like Dolly Parton?
- 24:05Speaker 4: Curtis, of course, who doesn't like Dolly Parton?
- 24:08Speaker 5: That's well. I think that's a good litmus test for
- 24:10Speaker 5: a quality person because all she has is joy and
- 24:13Speaker 5: good songs.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true. And she put out a video and
- 24:16Speaker 3: everybody played that video. We played it here in the air,
- 24:18Speaker 3: they played it on Entertainment tonight, saying please come to
- 24:21Speaker 3: New York and watch my show.
- 24:23Speaker 1: But you're right, I would think.
- 24:25Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of a celebrity that's more love
- 24:28Speaker 3: than Dolly Parton. I can't come up with one.
- 24:30Speaker 5: No, she's the great uniter. She's the great uniter because
- 24:32Speaker 5: she's a political She just gives to wonderful charities. She's
- 24:39Speaker 5: always herself. Dolly is always Dolly. And I don't like
- 24:43Speaker 5: jukebox musicals. But even just talking about it now, I'm
- 24:46Speaker 5: convincing myself.
- 24:46Speaker 3: I want to go, hey, I'm sure you've seen the Odyssey. Yeah,
- 24:50Speaker 3: I'm dying to see the Odyssey. Did you see it
- 24:53Speaker 3: on an Imax screen? Do you see it on a
- 24:55Speaker 3: wide screen?
- 24:56Speaker 5: As an elite, privileged critic got to go to a
- 25:01Speaker 5: free press screening of the Odyssey on the biggest Imax
- 25:05Speaker 5: screen in America, which is the one on sixty eighth Street,
- 25:08Speaker 5: and the oh my god, So it just fills your entire
- 25:11Speaker 5: field of vision. You're watching, you know, all these people
- 25:13Speaker 5: galloping on horses on a giant beach and there's a
- 25:15Speaker 5: Trojan horse, and it's it's just incredible. It's so much money.
- 25:19Speaker 5: You just look at it and you go, God, that
- 25:20Speaker 5: costs a lot of money.
- 25:21Speaker 3: They already made the money back, though. That's what's incredible
- 25:23Speaker 3: about it. They I mean, and they spent a fortune
- 25:25Speaker 3: on this, what two hundred and fifty million or something they.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Spell on it.
- 25:28Speaker 5: It's up there with the most expensive movies ever made.
- 25:31Speaker 5: It's it's like Avatar money.
- 25:32Speaker 1: But to make it back in a weekend is incredible?
- 25:35Speaker 1: Is it that good? Well?
- 25:37Speaker 5: I think what's great. What's great is we're kind of
- 25:39Speaker 5: returning back to the nineteen seventies a little bit, not
- 25:42Speaker 5: in the way that the Curtis would like us to,
- 25:44Speaker 5: but you know, back when you go to a movie
- 25:46Speaker 5: because because Martin Scorsese directed it, because Woody Allen directed it.
- 25:50Speaker 5: Now we're in this era where you go to a
- 25:51Speaker 5: movie because Christopher Nolan directed it or Ryan Coogler, Greg Ger.
- 25:55Speaker 2: They're just can't go to Woody Allen movie because of
- 25:58Speaker 2: the Epstein files.
- 25:59Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I can't.
- 26:00Speaker 1: I know.
- 26:00Speaker 5: Well, we're not in the seventies anymore. Back back. Let
- 26:05Speaker 5: me ask you your slugging thugs in Times Square.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Let me ask you about the guy who grew up
- 26:09Speaker 2: in Jackson Heights. I remember seeing him in Mulin Rouge
- 26:13Speaker 2: the movie, and then the one that wasn't good, the
- 26:16Speaker 2: Spike Lee movie about the son of Sam Oh Is
- 26:19Speaker 2: that a bomb?
- 26:20Speaker 5: John John, like Azamo, I can't have a bit, but
- 26:25Speaker 5: he do his last name as well as you do mine.
- 26:29Speaker 2: What happened to him while he was performing in the
- 26:32Speaker 2: Ulysses movie?
- 26:33Speaker 5: Well this is so I like it again. I love
- 26:35Speaker 5: the Odyssey, great four stars, but I method acting. Oh
- 26:39Speaker 5: it grinds my gears. The method actors John leg Ozamo,
- 26:42Speaker 5: he plays a blind friend of Odysseus. He he said
- 26:47Speaker 5: he wore contexts that blocked out his vision for fourteen
- 26:50Speaker 5: hours a day. I do I think that changed his
- 26:55Speaker 5: performance so much. No, I think it's kind of stupid
- 26:59Speaker 5: to do something like that when you're doing scenes on
- 27:01Speaker 5: a cliff side. Imagine what if he tumbled off?
- 27:05Speaker 2: Got you even find something negative about this blockbuster? Right?
- 27:11Speaker 4: John A hometown guy?
- 27:14Speaker 2: Right?
- 27:14Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 27:14Speaker 5: Yeah, But it's just when I read a headline like that,
- 27:17Speaker 5: I think, Oh, I don't want to talk to this
- 27:18Speaker 5: guy at dinner. You know, have you heard the.
- 27:21Speaker 3: Great story about Lawrence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman in Method Acting?
- 27:25Speaker 5: You're gonna tell me it?
- 27:26Speaker 1: Oh, in Marathon Well.
- 27:27Speaker 3: They were doing Marathon Man and he decided he was
- 27:29Speaker 3: supposed to be beat up and he was running, and
- 27:31Speaker 3: so he stayed up for overnight and he didn't get
- 27:33Speaker 3: any sleep, and he ran and he showed up and
- 27:37Speaker 3: Lawrence Olivier said, my god, what happened to you? Because
- 27:39Speaker 3: he was all sweaty and dirty. And he says, well,
- 27:42Speaker 3: you know, I have to live this role. I'm supposed
- 27:44Speaker 3: to be tired. I'm supposed to be running for twenty
- 27:46Speaker 3: four hours. And he said, why don't you just act?
- 27:49Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, just just stand in place and say your lines.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Well, you know, Johnny, oh, you've acted enough in his
- 27:56Speaker 2: stint with us today, It's time for you to exit
- 28:00Speaker 2: stage right, because up next I may have jeopardized my employment.
- 28:05Speaker 2: I convinced Elvis Durant, Yes see Elvis Durant at See
- 28:09Speaker 2: one hundred and it's crew to eat the Taco Bell
- 28:11Speaker 2: that I brought them this morning with extra stuffed let
- 28:16Speaker 2: us in it from Mako. We're gonna hear the ramifications
- 28:21Speaker 2: of that. I don't think the suits way up in
- 28:24Speaker 2: the iHeart stratosphere, A're gonna love what I bamboozled them
- 28:29Speaker 2: into doing. Lee Driver my job in a big way
- 28:32Speaker 2: here at Ihart with management that I have never met
- 28:36Speaker 2: that is up in the stratosphere. This is the largest
- 28:39Speaker 2: radio owning company in the world, and their crown jewel
- 28:45Speaker 2: is Elvis duran For all the years he's not only
- 28:48Speaker 2: does a great show with Gandhi and Diamond and their ensemble,
- 28:52Speaker 2: but he generates revenue no ticking, no washing, no talking.
- 28:57Speaker 4: And I used a form of trick and.
- 29:01Speaker 2: I convinced him and his crew that I would go
- 29:04Speaker 2: get them some crunchy tackles from Taco Bell this morning,
- 29:10Speaker 2: stuffed with that questionable tailor lettuce. And then, as Natalie witnessed,
- 29:16Speaker 2: I laid it out on their table right outside the studio.
- 29:19Speaker 4: The lore.
- 29:20Speaker 2: The trap was set like the trap where you put
- 29:23Speaker 2: the pomesh on cheese in to get the mouse in.
- 29:27Speaker 2: And I had a whole bag of the tail of
- 29:30Speaker 2: lettuce on the bottom of this, almost what you would
- 29:34Speaker 2: serve a king, you know, a huge goblet. And then
- 29:38Speaker 2: I had the crunchy tacos with extra tail of lettuce there.
- 29:45Speaker 2: And who do you think was the first one in
- 29:47Speaker 2: that crew who went for it? He didn't use one
- 29:50Speaker 2: of his minions to be the taste testerer, you know,
- 29:53Speaker 2: like a king would have. Well, i'll see how you're
- 29:55Speaker 2: doing in an hour. He ate it himself.
- 30:00Speaker 4: Yeah, mine.
- 30:06Speaker 9: Everything.
- 30:07Speaker 4: You know, it's the lettus that makes it.
- 30:11Speaker 11: It's the lettuce that makes it, because I had it
- 30:15Speaker 11: stuffed with extra tailor lettuce that seems to be the
- 30:19Speaker 11: source of this imploding disease that causes you to be
- 30:24Speaker 11: hermetically sealed on the porcelain palace.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Now, because there are rock stations, do they not read
- 30:28Speaker 1: the news? Do they not follow what's going on? You
- 30:33Speaker 1: know what it is?
- 30:34Speaker 4: I did it? Dare you know?
- 30:36Speaker 2: I mean, look, he's a bigger talksual personality than any
- 30:38Speaker 2: of any of us. So I dared him, you know,
- 30:41Speaker 2: I challenged his radio cred and he went for it.
- 30:45Speaker 2: And naturally, all the younger members of his ensembles, they
- 30:47Speaker 2: don't eat at night, they go drinking party and so
- 30:50Speaker 2: it's say I'll eat solid food.
- 30:51Speaker 1: They had.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Now, Doctor, doctor Larrymni, please tell me when the symptoms
- 30:57Speaker 2: of this imploding dire we make kick in.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Well, I went to doctor Google Ai and it told
- 31:05Speaker 3: me that the earliest onset is two days, but it
- 31:10Speaker 3: normally takes a little bit longer. It could take up
- 31:12Speaker 3: to two weeks before it hits, but normally it's about
- 31:15Speaker 3: seven days. That's that's been the average. That's when it hits.
- 31:19Speaker 3: So over the weekend he may get it Sunday if
- 31:22Speaker 3: he's gonna get hit with this thing, but we'll probably
- 31:25Speaker 3: know by Friday.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Of next week.
- 31:26Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure by then we can blame it on
- 31:28Speaker 4: something else, right.
- 31:30Speaker 3: No, No, it's going to be this. It's absolutely going
- 31:32Speaker 3: to be this. You're in big trouble. You're in huge trouble.
- 31:36Speaker 3: You took out the biggest moneymaker at this place. You
- 31:42Speaker 3: knocked him off the air. That could be for weeks,
- 31:45Speaker 3: not yet, But I tell you this much.
- 31:47Speaker 2: I not only used technology, but he asked me straight up,
- 31:52Speaker 2: did you get these this morning? I told him yes,
- 31:57Speaker 2: when I'd actually purchased some yesterday at two thirds in
- 32:00Speaker 2: the afternoon.
- 32:01Speaker 3: Wow. Wow, and you're admitting all this right now? You
- 32:04Speaker 3: know this tape's being pulled.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Well, look, as I told him, don't politicians lie? And
- 32:10Speaker 2: he had a good belly left. That may be the
- 32:11Speaker 2: last belly laugh.
- 32:15Speaker 1: They'll have some belly grumbling over the weekend.
- 32:17Speaker 2: I did this because I was gonna buy it for us.
- 32:20Speaker 2: My wife was moaning and groaning courtage. You can't afford it.
- 32:23Speaker 2: You've had iliitis, callitis shot five times, he had cone sissies.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Larry couldn't afford to have you go down for the
- 32:30Speaker 2: counter on Natalie. So Tom Cuddy was like almost screaming
- 32:33Speaker 2: at me, which he never does.
- 32:35Speaker 4: So why not?
- 32:36Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 32:36Speaker 4: I put shit off to them.
- 32:38Speaker 3: By the way, I don't know where you still do
- 32:40Speaker 3: in this, Natalie. But after thinking about it, I thought,
- 32:42Speaker 3: I'm not eating that stuff. Remember I said I would
- 32:45Speaker 3: eat it. No, I thought to myself, no way, I'm
- 32:46Speaker 3: not here. I wasn't going down that road, especially when
- 32:49Speaker 3: more cases and more cases kept coming out ladies. Unfortunately
- 32:53Speaker 3: Elvis Durant didn't have that information.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Now that I think about it, Please light the candles
- 32:57Speaker 2: and pray for the health and wealth of Elvis Durant
- 33:01Speaker 2: and you and the cure over what may be the
- 33:05Speaker 2: implosion of his inerts. Please please God, haushm whoever is
- 33:11Speaker 2: up up there, don't. I can't afford to lose this shop. Meantime,
- 33:14Speaker 2: the talkback of the Morning and Winter of the Curtis
- 33:16Speaker 2: leew and Larry Mente in the Morning t shirt. It's
- 33:18Speaker 2: a listener who had the best comment about Taco Bell.
- 33:22Speaker 8: All this talk about Taco Bell is bringing me back
- 33:25Speaker 8: to my youth. When I was a kid, I thought
- 33:29Speaker 8: Taco Bell was the Mexican phone company.
- 33:32Speaker 2: That is so good, so funny, That is so good.
- 33:35Speaker 2: And remember the talkback of the week. We'll win a
