- 0:00Speaker 1: You know, Larry and Natalie and all the quiet stormers
- 0:04Speaker 1: here Chris on loan from Mark Simone, who has become
- 0:07Speaker 1: a bit of a.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Chatterbox of late.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Not a chat box, but it's chatterbox a bit of
- 0:14Speaker 3: an exaggeration.
- 0:16Speaker 2: You mean he spoke a.
- 0:17Speaker 1: Couple of times, right, But now you'll have an opportunity
- 0:20Speaker 1: to contribute to this discussion because it all came about yesterday.
- 0:24Speaker 1: I'm roaming around the Upper West Side. I'm doing chores
- 0:27Speaker 1: for Nancy and the cats, and I see this modern
- 0:31Speaker 1: bus roll up, so I'm thinking, maybe it's tourists, but
- 0:34Speaker 1: it's all these kids getting off, and they have grandparents
- 0:37Speaker 1: are there and their parents, and they're coming home from
- 0:40Speaker 1: camp up near the Finger Lakes and upstate New York.
- 0:44Speaker 1: And you know, some of them are crying, some of
- 0:46Speaker 1: them are happy. And because they're standing around and have
- 0:49Speaker 1: that chance to get in touch with them and talk
- 0:52Speaker 1: with them. And some of the grandparents have had good
- 0:56Speaker 1: experiences when they went to camp.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Their kids not so good.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to speak to their grandchildren,
- 1:02Speaker 1: their children. But it just took me back to when
- 1:07Speaker 1: I was watching Ed Sullivan waiting for Topo Chico the
- 1:10Speaker 1: Little Italian Mouse to come out, because that was my favorite.
- 1:13Speaker 1: I think he was there sixty three times, and all
- 1:16Speaker 1: of a sudden, Alan Sherman is out there. It's nineteen
- 1:19Speaker 1: sixty three, and he's singing the camp salute, Hello Mother,
- 1:25Speaker 1: Hello Father, Camp Granada, Hello Mater, and he talks about
- 1:30Speaker 1: getting poison ivy. It was real his son had gone
- 1:34Speaker 1: to this camp up near Lake Champlain in Westport, New York.
- 1:38Speaker 1: People think Westport, Oh, Connecticut. You know Tom Cuddy shut No,
- 1:42Speaker 1: is only like a thousand people up there, and he
- 1:46Speaker 1: got poison ivy. And I remember later on in the
- 1:49Speaker 1: song and I want to need the help of Tom
- 1:51Speaker 1: Cuddy and others out there who are music officionados. He
- 1:55Speaker 1: mentions Leonard Skinner, and I'm thinking that that's where that
- 2:00Speaker 1: bunch of Southern Rebels got their name for that group,
- 2:03Speaker 1: Leonards Kennet. Oh, that's interesting spell differently spelled differently, but
- 2:08Speaker 1: I'm thinking that. But anyway, he talked about getting poison ivy,
- 2:12Speaker 1: bad weather, other activities, and it became such a hit.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I think it was number two in nineteen sixty three.
- 2:21Speaker 1: And that was a time where obviously I was a
- 2:24Speaker 1: kid and I had a chance to go to sleep
- 2:27Speaker 1: away camp up in Bear Mountain. So my mother enrolled
- 2:31Speaker 1: me with CYO, which was the Catholic Youth Organization. Jewish
- 2:36Speaker 1: kids said, the YMHA, the YWHA, Young Men Hebrew Association,
- 2:40Speaker 1: Young Women Hebrew Association, the Fresh Air Fund. Kids were
- 2:44Speaker 1: for the poor kids, you know, benefactors paid for them
- 2:48Speaker 1: to go away like two weeks the pal had a camp.
- 2:51Speaker 1: And then there were other families who like they just
- 2:53Speaker 1: believed in sending their kids after school got released before
- 2:57Speaker 1: July fourth, the next thing, they were on a us
- 3:00Speaker 1: to sleepover camp. And then eventually the kids might even
- 3:03Speaker 1: become the camp counselors who would have an undue bad
- 3:07Speaker 1: influence on the younger kids because they would introduce them
- 3:09Speaker 1: to smoke in marijuana, you know, thinking about having sex
- 3:13Speaker 1: because he'd be having sex with the other camp counselors.
- 3:16Speaker 3: All the worstess Oh that all the time.
- 3:19Speaker 2: The worst possible things.
- 3:21Speaker 3: The sex thing is a big thing among the camp counselors.
- 3:24Speaker 3: I was a camp counselor. I'll get into that. In
- 3:26Speaker 3: the second First Yesday nineteen sixty three novelty hit Hello
- 3:32Speaker 3: Mada Hello, Fodda played a direct role in the name
- 3:36Speaker 3: of the band Leonard Skinner.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Now, how is that even conceivable? Right? I mean you think.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Alan Scharman Jewish comedian song still came out of Chicago.
- 3:46Speaker 1: I think he went to like fifteen different schools when
- 3:49Speaker 1: he was growing up. I guess he could never pay
- 3:51Speaker 1: the rent and they were on the move. How did
- 3:54Speaker 1: he have an influence on a group of Southern hillbillies?
- 3:57Speaker 1: Leonard Skinner doing that, Dick se Rock and a Man.
- 4:01Speaker 1: They were one of the greatest bands of all time,
- 4:03Speaker 1: greatest bands. Saw them actually in video performing at Fulton
- 4:07Speaker 1: County Stadium. You know when Ted Turner owned it with
- 4:09Speaker 1: the Atlanta Bridge Man.
- 4:10Speaker 2: They rock the house.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a shame about the plane crash. I
- 4:14Speaker 3: mean the lead singer and some of the other ones
- 4:17Speaker 3: died in the bands.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Could you have ever guessed that the name for the
- 4:21Speaker 1: band from this classic camp soul here's.
- 4:23Speaker 3: The line, you remember, Leonard Skinner he got to Maine
- 4:27Speaker 3: poisoning last night after dinner, because that's the song. The
- 4:32Speaker 3: song builds to a nice ending, but the whole thing
- 4:35Speaker 3: is how horrible the camp is.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Oh so I couldn't wait to break out of the
- 4:39Speaker 1: cyo camp up in Bear Mountain you're entitled to one call.
- 4:43Speaker 1: So after one week there, I felt like it was
- 4:45Speaker 1: a prison. Yeah, prisoner. So I said to my mother,
- 4:49Speaker 1: get me out of it, please, whatever you do, And I
- 4:52Speaker 1: became a real mama Luke. I started crying, I mean,
- 4:54Speaker 1: oh man. And then all of a sudden, my aunt Lucy,
- 4:57Speaker 1: my mother, my uncle Steve came up in the fifty
- 5:01Speaker 1: four to for the station wagon. I saw them driving
- 5:04Speaker 1: towards the camp counselor's headquarters and I was.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Running after the car. I couldn't run fast enough. Get
- 5:11Speaker 2: me out of here. Man.
- 5:12Speaker 1: I had the worst I got poison, ivy mosquito bites.
- 5:16Speaker 3: So like this all.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I hated I hated camp. Yeah.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Some of my friends they came back, you know, right
- 5:21Speaker 1: before they started school after Labor Day.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Oh, camp was great.
- 5:25Speaker 1: We were rowing, we were swimming, we broke out of camp,
- 5:28Speaker 1: we went into town, we did this and that.
- 5:30Speaker 4: And I'm saying, how is it My experiences were so
- 5:34Speaker 4: bad and theirs were so good that they were looking
- 5:36Speaker 4: forward and going back to camp after school finished next time.
- 5:40Speaker 2: Wow.
- 5:41Speaker 3: I never got to go to camp, not once except
- 5:43Speaker 3: when I worked at the camp. But I never got
- 5:45Speaker 3: to go to camp. Because my mom and dad loved me.
- 5:50Speaker 5: You know what, I did not go to camp either.
- 5:53Speaker 5: I grew up in Staten Island, and I don't know
- 5:55Speaker 5: if this was a Staten Island thing, But the only
- 5:58Speaker 5: kids who went to sleep away camp were all my
- 6:00Speaker 5: Jewish friends. They all got and I was jealous. I
- 6:03Speaker 5: was like, where are they going for the summer? And
- 6:05Speaker 5: I'm telling you, I heard their parents were having a
- 6:07Speaker 5: great time about the kids during the summer, so I
- 6:11Speaker 5: think they had something going that was smart.
- 6:14Speaker 3: So I don't remember anybody in my neighborhood going to camp.
- 6:17Speaker 3: That's it just wasn't a thing in our neighborhood. How
- 6:20Speaker 3: about how about you, Chris.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Yeah, Chrish the quiet storm. Not in the Superway camps
- 6:25Speaker 2: now just day camps.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Oh did you sing b I n g O Bingo
- 6:30Speaker 1: was his name? Did you do that on the bush
- 6:32Speaker 1: through the day camp?
- 6:33Speaker 2: No? No, nothing like that.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Well, you know, you want to elaborate a little bit
- 6:37Speaker 3: all that kind of experience.
- 6:39Speaker 6: Just play games, go to the movies, you know, go
- 6:42Speaker 6: to parks. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, regular regular camp stuff.
- 6:47Speaker 6: Go to a baseball game every once in a while,
- 6:48Speaker 6: and to a couple of Yankee games.
- 6:51Speaker 5: They weren't having sex all over camp like they were
- 6:53Speaker 5: talking ten.
- 6:57Speaker 3: The counselors are the ones having the sex.
- 7:00Speaker 6: The camp was also like a thousand feet from my house,
- 7:02Speaker 6: so oh far away.
- 7:05Speaker 2: That's not come on, that's not a good camp experience.
- 7:08Speaker 3: It was.
- 7:08Speaker 2: It was fine, about a thousand feet away from your house.
- 7:12Speaker 2: You right by my high school.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Did you have the Elmer's glue with the sticks that
- 7:16Speaker 1: you know you had in the good Yuma barge and
- 7:18Speaker 1: you had to make all kinds of.
- 7:20Speaker 6: House Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah we did that. The arts
- 7:23Speaker 6: and crafts and the macaroni are yeah.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Okay, god you had some of those experiences.
- 7:30Speaker 3: Boy, dragging information out of Chris, it's like being in
- 7:35Speaker 3: a police precinct.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Or being like in Ditmo with the terrorists, you know,
- 7:40Speaker 1: asking them about terrorist activities, and then we do we
- 7:44Speaker 1: have to waterboard you to get Total'd rather you're not, but.
- 7:51Speaker 3: All right, we'll let you go.
- 7:53Speaker 2: Okay, thanks Chris.
- 7:54Speaker 3: You have a way of telling the stories.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Great, thank you.
- 7:57Speaker 1: But I'd be so interested in hearing from Mom any
- 8:00Speaker 1: listeners of their camp experiences, or their parents, or their
- 8:05Speaker 1: grandparents or even their kids or grandchildren, because some families
- 8:10Speaker 1: it's like a tradition.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Everybody, absolutely everybody goes to sleep away camp.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Yeah, I know the camps are ranked, like you're like, oh,
- 8:18Speaker 5: you went to that camp. I went to this camp.
- 8:21Speaker 2: And I know.
- 8:22Speaker 5: People who were in their seventies and eighties who continue
- 8:26Speaker 5: to go to camp reunions like you have a college reunion.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Their camp reunions are even more important to them than that.
- 8:32Speaker 3: It's starting to sound like a cult. I'm almost glad
- 8:35Speaker 3: I didn't go.
- 8:36Speaker 2: I am telling you.
- 8:37Speaker 1: The kids that I grew up with had better experiences
- 8:41Speaker 1: going to summer camp sleep away camp than they did
- 8:44Speaker 1: in school.
- 8:45Speaker 2: They look forward to it.
- 8:47Speaker 3: So I was a counselor to camp. I never went
- 8:49Speaker 3: to a camp, but it was a counselor at camp
- 8:51Speaker 3: because when I was in high school, Lisa Pinto, my
- 8:54Speaker 3: first love, broke up with me and I just had
- 8:59Speaker 3: to get out of town Italian Girl and I went,
- 9:02Speaker 3: yeah Italian Girl and went to uh Florida for the
- 9:05Speaker 3: summer to work at Camp Challenge, a camp for handicapped
- 9:09Speaker 3: kids disabled that it was the best experience of my life.
- 9:14Speaker 3: I really wanted to work at disney World and be Goofy.
- 9:17Speaker 3: That's what my dream was at the time, but I
- 9:20Speaker 3: didn't have a car, so they wouldn't hire me.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Hold on, you wanted to be the goofy character at
- 9:27Speaker 1: disney World.
- 9:29Speaker 3: Disney World, Yeah, remember disney World was pretty new back No. No,
- 9:32Speaker 3: it was the coolest thing in the world.
- 9:33Speaker 1: In that costume. Yeah it's humid, dad, it's hot. You'd
- 9:37Speaker 1: be fitching underneath that.
- 9:39Speaker 3: I was eighteen. I didn't think it out. I just thought,
- 9:42Speaker 3: you think you.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Were going to attract chicks by being goofy?
- 9:46Speaker 3: No, but I did at Camp Challenge, that's for sure.
- 9:50Speaker 3: So it ended up being the vetterest election. No, I
- 9:52Speaker 3: grew up a lot. It was wonderful. I still know
- 9:55Speaker 3: some of the kids that were there.
- 9:56Speaker 7: Wow.
- 9:57Speaker 1: She So even though there's not an alumni CU, you've
- 10:01Speaker 1: maintained contacts.
- 10:02Speaker 2: See.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Yeah, especially with some of the kids. There's a kid
- 10:06Speaker 3: named Marco who had severe autism and couldn't speak, and
- 10:11Speaker 3: I just fell in love with the kid, and I
- 10:13Speaker 3: keep in touch with his parents. He's doing really well.
- 10:15Speaker 3: He's he's come along.
- 10:16Speaker 2: This is just so nice.
- 10:17Speaker 5: Larry want most I want more information on Lisa Pinto.
- 10:21Speaker 3: What you're looking I thought about the camp thing. I
- 10:26Speaker 3: thought you'd look up camp challenge, not Lisa Pinto.
- 10:29Speaker 5: No, I'm looking up every Lisa Pinto.
- 10:31Speaker 3: Oh no, she got married, I forget her new namet married.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember my first love was Angela Sika Italian
- 10:39Speaker 1: Talian girl.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Right of course she got married.
- 10:41Speaker 1: But I'm saying is wow, it crushed you so much
- 10:46Speaker 1: that you decided to get up, go to Florida, become
- 10:50Speaker 1: a camp counselor, and you became a double mench helping
- 10:53Speaker 1: handicapped kids.
- 10:54Speaker 3: It was a great experience. It was an unbelievable experience.
- 10:57Speaker 3: It might have been the best experience of my teenage
- 10:59Speaker 3: years going down there and doing that. Thank Lisa Pento
- 11:03Speaker 3: for breaking.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Up, without which that probably never would have happened.
- 11:06Speaker 3: No, it never would happen. I never would have old.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Well, so how can people weigh in on this discussion
- 11:10Speaker 1: here so they're not like the quiet storm Chris there
- 11:13Speaker 1: sitting over there.
- 11:14Speaker 3: If you go to the iHeartRadio app and leave us
- 11:16Speaker 3: a talkback, you could win a Curtis Leiwa and Larry
- 11:19Speaker 3: Menti in the Morning t shirt, which is going to
- 11:21Speaker 3: be awarded each day to our favorite talkback of the morning.
- 11:25Speaker 3: And while you're on the free iHeartRadio app Go ahead
- 11:29Speaker 3: and set a preset for seven to ten w R.
- 11:31Speaker 3: It'll make it easier for you in the future. And
- 11:34Speaker 3: don't forget the best talk back of the week takes
- 11:37Speaker 3: almost sea crane radio. Sea crane radios that work when
- 11:40Speaker 3: it matters most. Well, Donald Trump, remember that I love
- 11:48Speaker 3: when he does stuff like this. I love when every
- 11:50Speaker 3: president does stuff like this, but it seems even more
- 11:52Speaker 3: special with Donald Trump. Remember that California lifeguard that risked
- 11:56Speaker 3: his life to save a little boy. Well, he was
- 12:00Speaker 3: honored at the White House, and we'll play some of
- 12:02Speaker 3: that for you coming up next. Plus you got a
- 12:04Speaker 3: chance to see Journey at a twenty five. Well, I
- 12:09Speaker 3: love to talk to you about life fact because I
- 12:11Speaker 3: believe in this so much, and I believe in it
- 12:13Speaker 3: because it works, and I believe in it because it
- 12:15Speaker 3: saves lives. As someone who spent a career in news,
- 12:18Speaker 3: I've seen how quickly that it can happen, how an
- 12:23Speaker 3: emergency can happen when everything is just going along normal,
- 12:27Speaker 3: all of a sudden boom. Choking is one of those moments,
- 12:31Speaker 3: and it can happen to anyone, a child, a parent,
- 12:34Speaker 3: a grandparent, And when it does seconds matter. That's why
- 12:37Speaker 3: I want to tell you about life BAC. Lifefac is
- 12:40Speaker 3: the first and only FDA authorized suction anti choking device
- 12:45Speaker 3: to be used for second line treatment when recommended choking
- 12:50Speaker 3: protocols have been followed without success. And here's what's so remarkable.
- 12:54Speaker 3: Life back has helped save over six thousand lives worldwide.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Think about that. That's not just the number. We're talking about,
- 13:02Speaker 3: real people, real second chances. Preparedness matters. Having the right
- 13:08Speaker 3: tool nearby can make all the difference in the world.
- 13:13Speaker 3: Learn more about life back today. Do yourself a favor.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Go to lifeback dot net. That's lifeback dot net. Just
- 13:20Speaker 3: visit lifevac dot net and see how you can be
- 13:24Speaker 3: ready when it counts.
- 13:26Speaker 7: The conversation continues Curtis Leewa and Larry mante wor.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Yes.
- 13:33Speaker 1: The other day, I'm shitting with our program direct at
- 13:36Speaker 1: Tom Cuddy and he's saying, do you have a like
- 13:38Speaker 1: that film Animal House and Drop Dead. I said to
- 13:41Speaker 1: him no, because I couldn't relate. I didn't go to college,
- 13:46Speaker 1: but I can relate to the movie that came out
- 13:49Speaker 1: New Jack City, you know, with Wesley Snipes iced tea.
- 13:54Speaker 2: At Rock Chris Rock.
- 13:56Speaker 1: You know about bagging and distributing crack co cocaine in
- 14:00Speaker 1: the eighties, Cause and the Guardian Angels used to bust
- 14:03Speaker 1: those kind of houses. Who would have ever thought. Then
- 14:07Speaker 1: you go up to Happy Valley in Pennsylvania, home of
- 14:10Speaker 1: penn State University, and it was sort of like the
- 14:14Speaker 1: suburban version of New Jack City, except dealing with powder cocaine.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Out of two frats and two Long Island boys were
- 14:23Speaker 1: at the head of it. Agostino Abatello, who was from Westbury.
- 14:28Speaker 1: He was like the leader of the pack. There were
- 14:30Speaker 1: fourteen of them, and then there was Thomas Robinson. And
- 14:35Speaker 1: what they did was get their frat brothers and their
- 14:40Speaker 1: pledges to actually start processing cocaine on campus that Agostino
- 14:46Speaker 1: would bring back from Westbury. And then they were chopping
- 14:49Speaker 1: it up, they were packaging it, they were selling it
- 14:52Speaker 1: on campus. This was since twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four,
- 14:56Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden authorities got wind of it.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Ristina was begging and pleached, don't give me up, don't
- 15:02Speaker 1: give me up. But eventually some of them decided to
- 15:06Speaker 1: eat the Parmesan cheese, and fourteen of them were taken
- 15:11Speaker 1: away and chained in shackles on the Purp Walk kill. Imagine,
- 15:15Speaker 1: this is a drug trafficking crew operating openly on campus,
- 15:19Speaker 1: in off campus in Happy Valley, dealing with powder cocaine.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, Diegstino. His father is also charged, and he
- 15:29Speaker 3: was apparently helping to buy the cocaine. He was trying
- 15:31Speaker 3: to hide what happened afterwards. He was the one that
- 15:34Speaker 3: was getting the money and laundering the money. So it
- 15:37Speaker 3: was a huge operation. They would go and they'd buy
- 15:41Speaker 3: a kilogram in Philadelphia, or buy a kilogram in New
- 15:44Speaker 3: York City and then take it back to the frat
- 15:47Speaker 3: and they had a whole operation going. They were chopping
- 15:49Speaker 3: it up and selling little bags of it all around campus.
- 15:53Speaker 3: Everybody on campus knew about them. Everybody in campus talked
- 15:57Speaker 3: about him. He was known as the number one coke
- 16:00Speaker 3: dealer in Happy Valley, which leads me to go, well,
- 16:04Speaker 3: who are the other coke dealers? If he's number one,
- 16:07Speaker 3: who's number two, who's number three? And also, if everybody
- 16:12Speaker 3: was talking about this, why did it take so long
- 16:16Speaker 3: to bust this ring?
- 16:17Speaker 1: Because snitches get stitches and end up in ditches, even
- 16:21Speaker 1: in a suburban academic atmosphere. You know, there is a
- 16:24Speaker 1: code of omerta. You don't rat anyone out. And I
- 16:28Speaker 1: think what happened here was once the authority started moving
- 16:31Speaker 1: in and they pinched one guy or another guy, then
- 16:34Speaker 1: they decided, Man, I ain't gonna be doing eight to
- 16:37Speaker 1: ten years, you know, in some prison in Pennsylvania. And
- 16:41Speaker 1: that's when they started coughing up up the ladder, because
- 16:44Speaker 1: you know, you get the small fish first, the pledges,
- 16:46Speaker 1: who obviously thought this was part of being part of
- 16:49Speaker 1: the frat.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Let me give you the two frat names.
- 16:51Speaker 1: There was the Delta Upsilam, which was on campus, and
- 16:57Speaker 1: Sigma Kai, which was off campus. Delta Upsilon has been suspended,
- 17:03Speaker 1: but Sigma Hi, which had their house off campus, wasn't
- 17:07Speaker 1: a recognized flat by the university. And I've seen that
- 17:10Speaker 1: when I do my speech. Yes at university you see
- 17:12Speaker 1: off campus, just say oh yeah, but they're not register
- 17:16Speaker 1: recognize your like animal house.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, wild and crazy.
- 17:20Speaker 5: Curtis, that's actually a really good point when your kids
- 17:23Speaker 5: go off to college, if they're going to talk about,
- 17:25Speaker 5: you know, going into greek life, which I actually don't
- 17:28Speaker 5: think is a terrible thing. Both of my kids were
- 17:30Speaker 5: in it. I was in it. Thankfully, we all had good,
- 17:32Speaker 5: you know experiences. But find out if they're recognized by
- 17:36Speaker 5: the university, because if they are not recognized by the university,
- 17:40Speaker 5: tell them absolutely stay away.
- 17:43Speaker 3: Let me give you the statement from Penn State. We're
- 17:45Speaker 3: horrified by these serious allegations against current and former students,
- 17:49Speaker 3: so former students were involved criminal activity, including hazing such
- 17:54Speaker 3: as this has no place at our institution, and we
- 17:57Speaker 3: will cooperate with law enforcement in every way we can.
- 18:01Speaker 3: We will continue to enhance our efforts around health and
- 18:03Speaker 3: safety and hazing, educational efforts at all of our organizations. Oh,
- 18:09Speaker 3: it's gonna be fun at Penn State for the new
- 18:11Speaker 3: semester coming up. They're all gonna be learning. Everybody's gonna
- 18:14Speaker 3: have required teaching about drugs and hazing. What did hazing
- 18:19Speaker 3: come from? Was there hazing involved in this at all?
- 18:22Speaker 1: They are implying that this was part of the hazing.
- 18:24Speaker 1: That you had to package the product. You know, you
- 18:27Speaker 1: had to go to the frat house, probably do what
- 18:30Speaker 1: you did in New Jack City, take all your clothes
- 18:32Speaker 1: off so they could see you weren't taking any product
- 18:34Speaker 1: with you out to door, and then package it. You know,
- 18:38Speaker 1: in the little yeah, in the little plastic bags with
- 18:41Speaker 1: whatever marking they had on to you know, claim that
- 18:44Speaker 1: was their brand. My god, you know what this reminds
- 18:46Speaker 1: me of. It just came to me slowly. I turned
- 18:49Speaker 1: step by step. His name was the Chemist. He was
- 18:53Speaker 1: the son of one of the most famous Americans of
- 18:56Speaker 1: all time in politics. She almost became Vice President of
- 18:59Speaker 1: the United States. Remember she was on the ticket with
- 19:02Speaker 1: Walter Mondale. She was Geraldine Ferrara. They tried to say
- 19:07Speaker 1: that she was a normal housewife. She wasn't. She lived
- 19:10Speaker 1: in Forest Hills Gardens. Her son was called the Chemist.
- 19:13Speaker 1: At darkness all right, heavy league school. You went to
- 19:18Speaker 1: the Chemist's frat in order to score cocaine. He was
- 19:22Speaker 1: selling cocaine and I think they took a plea or
- 19:25Speaker 1: something like that. But it's not at all unusual that
- 19:28Speaker 1: there are people who are on campus selling drugs and
- 19:31Speaker 1: then you're told don't knock them out.
- 19:33Speaker 3: Yeah, And you see it in every movie. It's always
- 19:35Speaker 3: in some dark room. The guy's got glasses halfway down
- 19:38Speaker 3: his nose, he's got the funny hair, and he's cooking
- 19:40Speaker 3: up all of the drugs. If you've never been to
- 19:44Speaker 3: state college, let me explain something. This isn't like a
- 19:47Speaker 3: small college. There's fifty thousand students and there's eighty thousand
- 19:53Speaker 3: people at State College. Inside State College, in the surrounding
- 19:57Speaker 3: area there's one hundred and fifty th thousand people. So
- 20:01Speaker 3: we're talking about a mid size city with a lot
- 20:05Speaker 3: of college students. One third of them are college students.
- 20:08Speaker 3: So it's not like this can happen and everybody's involved
- 20:13Speaker 3: in it, or it can happen and everybody knew about it. No, no, no, no, no,
- 20:17Speaker 3: It's just like any other mid size city. It could
- 20:21Speaker 3: be happening and nobody knew. Ah, well, it's probably part
- 20:24Speaker 3: of chemistry one on one.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Right, Well capitalism, Well, capitalism supports that man business majors,
- 20:33Speaker 1: they becoming socialists.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Yeah, unless they have that in prison. I gotta feeling
- 20:39Speaker 3: all of them are going to be put away for
- 20:41Speaker 3: quite a long time. Uh hey, listen when we come back.
- 20:45Speaker 3: I don't know if you heard about this, but in
- 20:48Speaker 3: New Jersey there's an area, one area in particular, where
- 20:51Speaker 3: there used to be an aerospace plant and they've closed
- 20:56Speaker 3: it up and the houses that are built on that
- 20:59Speaker 3: area where the aerodynamics of the aeroplane stuff used to
- 21:05Speaker 3: be is well, a lot of people are getting cancer
- 21:10Speaker 3: and they're calling it a national cancer cluster now, and
- 21:14Speaker 3: the state just keeps denying that it's happening. We're going
- 21:17Speaker 3: to talk more about that when we come back to
- 21:21Speaker 3: New York's New Wake Up Call.
- 21:23Speaker 5: Curtious Sleewa and Larry Minty in the morning.
- 21:26Speaker 2: On sevent ten, WR Well, you know what happens.
- 21:31Speaker 1: You go to sleep at night with Jimmy Failure nine
- 21:33Speaker 1: to twelve here Monday through Fridays exclusively on seven to
- 21:37Speaker 1: ten wor and then you wake up with Larry and
- 21:39Speaker 1: me in the morning at six, and boy, I bet
- 21:42Speaker 1: you're licking your chops this morning, Jimmy saying why didn't
- 21:45Speaker 1: I go to Happy Valley? Why didn't I go to
- 21:48Speaker 1: Penn State? But they had that drug dealing operation that
- 21:52Speaker 1: they just busted in the fraternities.
- 21:56Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean this is progress for Penn State, though,
- 21:58Speaker 7: because at least this scandal has kids over eighteen.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Oh man, we got a hello.
- 22:05Speaker 7: Wow, listen, you asked you you did? I This is
- 22:14Speaker 7: where I love stories like this because I always make
- 22:17Speaker 7: fun of myself because I'm like, oh, I went to
- 22:18Speaker 7: community college, but that and you know, we kind of
- 22:21Speaker 7: make fun of that, but the truth is all of
- 22:24Speaker 7: the dumb things happening at schools never happen at mind.
- 22:27Speaker 7: Do you know what they're not doing at Nasau Community
- 22:29Speaker 7: College right now, channing free Palestine? You don't know if
- 22:32Speaker 7: they're not doing they're not running an international cocaine ring.
- 22:37Speaker 7: Because we have local guys in Hempstead. You're not gonna
- 22:40Speaker 7: catch us in the middle of some foreign cocaine trafficking operation.
- 22:44Speaker 7: We go right down the block to Terrace Avenue in Hempstead.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Keep the cartels out of it.
- 22:49Speaker 2: What we're doing here.
- 22:51Speaker 3: So at Nasau Community College, who ran the cocaine operation.
- 22:55Speaker 7: Local guys, it everywhere. Sounds like right in Hempstead. Are
- 23:00Speaker 7: you kidding me? I wouldn't be shocked if these cartels
- 23:03Speaker 7: are picking it up at Nansaw and bringing it to
- 23:05Speaker 7: Penn State.
- 23:05Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 23:06Speaker 1: Yeah, they are Westbury, That's where the guy came from,
- 23:09Speaker 1: the leader of the pack, him and his dad, and
- 23:11Speaker 1: they were transporting the kilos from there and also Philly
- 23:14Speaker 1: and bringing him right to Happy Valley where everybody obviously
- 23:17Speaker 1: was happy.
- 23:19Speaker 2: Yeah, they were having a night time out there.
- 23:21Speaker 7: Give him that. You know what like, like I said,
- 23:25Speaker 7: my school, you pay like you dont tuition cost at a
- 23:28Speaker 7: place like Harvard. Okay, you hundreds of thousands of dollars. Yeah, Curtis,
- 23:33Speaker 7: I had to give a guy named Spider a bag
- 23:35Speaker 7: of weed and they let me into Nanta and there
- 23:39Speaker 7: I went the bowling charistry of rap music.
- 23:43Speaker 2: It was amazing. Probably ragweed at the time. Also, am
- 23:46Speaker 2: I correct?
- 23:47Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a lot of potpourri and those.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Uh Hey.
- 23:53Speaker 3: One of the stars of your Saturday I show on
- 23:56Speaker 3: the Fox News Channel, Natalie Makeleori, was out today asking
- 24:00Speaker 3: about shoplifting because we had a crazy Democratic assembly person
- 24:04Speaker 3: who said that if somebody goes in and steals soap
- 24:07Speaker 3: or deodorant, you should just let them go. That's that's
- 24:10Speaker 3: a crime of poverty. And so I was wondering when
- 24:13Speaker 3: I heard that. I think that happens very often when
- 24:17Speaker 3: people shoplift. When you were a cab driver, did they
- 24:19Speaker 3: get in your cab for the getaway?
- 24:22Speaker 7: No, because everybody thought I was a cop.
- 24:24Speaker 2: That's the problem.
- 24:25Speaker 7: When you're a white cab driver, they either think it's
- 24:28Speaker 7: an undercover cop or cash cab. Literally, everyone would get.
- 24:32Speaker 2: In and think of a cash cab.
- 24:32Speaker 7: They would jump in and be like, so, do you
- 24:34Speaker 7: have any questions you want to ask us?
- 24:36Speaker 2: And I'd go, yeah, where are you headed?
- 24:39Speaker 5: You know, because they.
- 24:39Speaker 7: Thought it was a game show. So I told me,
- 24:42Speaker 7: you know what's so dopey about this? Because she said,
- 24:44Speaker 7: you know, well they need it. If they're doing it,
- 24:46Speaker 7: they need it. That makes it okay? Okay, Listen, I
- 24:50Speaker 7: grew up chubby with a bad haircut. I had no
- 24:52Speaker 7: shot of getting laid. Does that mean I could grope
- 24:54Speaker 7: women on the subway because.
- 24:56Speaker 2: I needed it?
- 24:57Speaker 7: Like? It doesn't make sense, but that's you know, that's
- 24:59Speaker 7: what they're trying to justify this wy It's it's stupid.
- 25:02Speaker 1: Now are you upset that it appears that Luigi Mangoni
- 25:06Speaker 1: has thrown in the towel and gone no match, no moss.
- 25:09Speaker 1: All the men Genistas will have no way to go.
- 25:12Speaker 1: The journalists were counting on a full year of trial,
- 25:15Speaker 1: both at the state level and federal level, and I'm
- 25:18Speaker 1: sure that would have provided you with a lot of
- 25:21Speaker 1: comedic material.
- 25:23Speaker 7: Yes, but there is another trial coming because he got
- 25:26Speaker 7: indicted for stealing those eyebrows from a Greek cab driver.
- 25:32Speaker 7: Eyebrow grand theft ibrow he's a wanted man in a
- 25:36Speaker 7: story right now, He's not gonna walk free. And this
- 25:39Speaker 7: is all said and done. I know they were banking
- 25:42Speaker 7: on they love these juicy sexy killers stories. It really
- 25:47Speaker 7: does show you what how many broken people are out there,
- 25:50Speaker 7: you know, but you know, screw him.
- 25:52Speaker 3: It's it's so stupid.
- 25:53Speaker 7: And he ruined the name Luigi. You know that's what
- 25:55Speaker 7: kills me, like I did Mario and Luigi love Mary
- 26:01Speaker 7: old Luigi.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Now you hear Luis.
- 26:02Speaker 5: And he also ruined big eyebrows.
- 26:05Speaker 7: Big eyebrows?
- 26:06Speaker 2: Did he ever?
- 26:07Speaker 7: Well listen, you know he he uh the Luigi thing.
- 26:11Speaker 7: All of those women because the one thing, Curtis and
- 26:14Speaker 7: I'm sure you saw this. These are not like circus
- 26:17Speaker 7: freak women. Some of them are young, good looking women.
- 26:20Speaker 7: But it does show you, like there's so many crazies
- 26:23Speaker 7: out there, like actual crazies. They're a good time but
- 26:27Speaker 7: you know that good time gets old fast, is all
- 26:30Speaker 7: I'm trying to say.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Yeah, the crazies that worry me are not the ones
- 26:35Speaker 3: with the weird hair who or the dress up like
- 26:38Speaker 3: Luigi Mangioni outside courtroom. There are like thirty percent of
- 26:43Speaker 3: the people in this country in a poll said that
- 26:45Speaker 3: they understand why he did it, and they and they
- 26:49Speaker 3: too are that upset with the healthcare industry and with
- 26:53Speaker 3: healthcare insurance. So I'm just it scares me that he
- 26:57Speaker 3: pled guilty. He showed them the way and they're be
- 27:00Speaker 3: another one out there.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Yeah, that is scary.
- 27:03Speaker 7: And you know what's funny is like if ever there
- 27:05Speaker 7: was a moment to like slam on the brakes and
- 27:08Speaker 7: talk about what a failure the Affordable Care Act was,
- 27:11Speaker 7: Obamacare as we've always called it. I mean, the Democrats
- 27:14Speaker 7: passed something called the Affordable Care Act, and here we
- 27:17Speaker 7: are ten years later, and they're fine with us killing
- 27:20Speaker 7: healthcare CEOs because the prices are too high. Like, if
- 27:23Speaker 7: that's not an acknowledgment that your bill didn't get the
- 27:27Speaker 7: job from you know, wow, I you should be asked
- 27:31Speaker 7: about this. They should be asking Obama, what does it
- 27:33Speaker 7: say about the Affordable Care Act that half your party
- 27:37Speaker 7: fine was shooting.
- 27:38Speaker 2: A healthcare ceo. Wow? I had never thought of it
- 27:42Speaker 2: in that way.
- 27:42Speaker 1: And the spirit of John McCain is staring down at
- 27:45Speaker 1: you and saying, Jimmy, are you trying to say I
- 27:47Speaker 1: shouldn't have gotten out of my death's bed and gone
- 27:49Speaker 1: thumbs down when I went into the well of the
- 27:52Speaker 1: Senate and did not kill Obamacare.
- 27:55Speaker 7: No, I don't know that, because the truth is Republicans
- 27:58Speaker 7: were dirtbags on this issue because they ran on repeal
- 28:00Speaker 7: and replace Obamacare for ten years. Then Trump got in
- 28:04Speaker 7: and they were like, we don't have a plan, and
- 28:06Speaker 7: they had to put together that last ditch plan that
- 28:08Speaker 7: most of them get. You know, they got shot down,
- 28:10Speaker 7: So I don't think they were any better, but you know,
- 28:12Speaker 7: the prices of again, they called it Obamacare because obviously
- 28:15Speaker 7: they wanted.
- 28:16Speaker 2: To tie it to him.
- 28:17Speaker 7: But the bigger slander is affordable care. Have you call
- 28:19Speaker 7: it the Affordable Care Act? And now I have to
- 28:22Speaker 7: get into a car accident because that cope is cheaper
- 28:25Speaker 7: than my healthcare cope.
- 28:28Speaker 2: You're not getting the job done.
- 28:30Speaker 3: Jimmy Fayla WLR, host nine to midnight Fox Across America
- 28:34Speaker 3: with Jimmy Fela and host of Fox News Saturday Night
