Latest / Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning / Hour 2: Update on Legionnaires' disease
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hopey, jump up and sit down. Talk about a pivot
- 0:03Speaker 1: and shift. The FDA, the Food and Drug Administration, which
- 0:08Speaker 1: is responsible for the safety of all the food that
- 0:13Speaker 1: is sold and grown in the United States or in
- 0:17Speaker 1: meatpacking places, wherever, wherever food is developed and wholesale and retailed.
- 0:25Speaker 1: It's not walking back. It's an issue claims that the
- 0:29Speaker 1: Taco Belt lettuce supplier is responsible for sickening hundreds of
- 0:36Speaker 1: Americans with as Larry calls it, explosive diarrhea. I call
- 0:41Speaker 1: it Montezuma's revenge, saying the original test results were a
- 0:47Speaker 1: false positive. So they say they've double checked now and
- 0:51Speaker 1: they've apologized to tail of Farms, which grows it's lettuce
- 0:55Speaker 1: in Mexico, and it is a mistake and it hackins
- 1:00Speaker 1: me back. First secretary of any cabinet who was indicted,
- 1:05Speaker 1: I remember, for Ronald Reagan it was Raymond Donovan, not
- 1:09Speaker 1: not the character on TV.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Raymond Donna.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Labor secretary was indicted by Mario Morola in the Bronx Local.
- 1:15Speaker 2: DA was really unjust and he was cleared.
- 1:20Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't a shred of evidence against it,
- 1:23Speaker 1: and he said afterwards he had to resign. Where do
- 1:26Speaker 1: I go to recover my honor and my dignity because
- 1:31Speaker 1: I've been blemished. I mean, if you if your tail
- 1:36Speaker 1: of Farms, which is this huge outfit that supplies lettuce,
- 1:40Speaker 1: not just the Taco Bell, so many other fast food
- 1:43Speaker 1: outlets and in stars. I'm sure that Natalie here who
- 1:48Speaker 1: had determined that she wouldn't be eating lettuce, she likes
- 1:51Speaker 1: that bowl of salad before they have dinner in her household.
- 1:56Speaker 1: You were foregoing any salad. Where did they recover? You know,
- 2:03Speaker 1: there's almost as bad as that tailand all scary. Remember
- 2:06Speaker 1: where do you go? I mean, people are thinking in
- 2:09Speaker 1: their minds, Oh my god, it's the tainted letters. Check
- 2:12Speaker 1: the label. Is it Tailor Farms? Oh, we're sorry, we
- 2:16Speaker 1: double checked. It's a mistake, a mistake.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a mistake.
- 2:21Speaker 3: But it's also Taylor Farms, who have had many problems
- 2:26Speaker 3: in the past, and Taco Bell that has had many
- 2:29Speaker 3: problems in the past in the past. And it wasn't
- 2:32Speaker 3: the type of mistake where they just said, well, they've
- 2:36Speaker 3: been recalled and closed down several times, it must be
- 2:39Speaker 3: them again. It's not that there was a false positive
- 2:44Speaker 3: and they kept checking. Good for them, they kept checking,
- 2:47Speaker 3: and immediately when they realized the FDA made a mistake,
- 2:51Speaker 3: they made a public announcement that they were wrong. And
- 2:54Speaker 3: if you've noticed, Taylor Farms and Taco Bell basically said, oh,
- 2:59Speaker 3: that's okay, because they were so happy that they didn't
- 3:03Speaker 3: have another violation against them. Here's the funny thing about
- 3:06Speaker 3: Taco Bell. I've gone to Taco Bell many times, especially
- 3:10Speaker 3: growing up especially that's good. It's good, and you go
- 3:14Speaker 3: there knowing you're taking a chance, but you don't care
- 3:18Speaker 3: because it's late at night, it's open, it has food,
- 3:22Speaker 3: and you want something. And so I think everybody knows
- 3:26Speaker 3: when they go to Taco Bell they're taking a chance,
- 3:28Speaker 3: but they don't care. So Taco Bell doesn't have a
- 3:31Speaker 3: stellar reputation. I think that they've had six recalls in
- 3:36Speaker 3: the last twenty five years.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Oh yeah, remember our Chavan crash. Our boat operator remembers
- 3:41Speaker 1: when he was board operated for me at WABC, they
- 3:45Speaker 1: went through two condemnations, one for salmonila and one for E.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Colid distance over the years, and each time that happened,
- 3:55Speaker 1: to prove that I'm a tough guy to have a
- 3:58Speaker 1: gastronomical stomach, I would order Taco Bell and eat it
- 4:02Speaker 1: on the air with the tainted lettuce. Luckily I did
- 4:06Speaker 1: not get e coli or salmonila. But you've pointed out.
- 4:09Speaker 2: You think I know.
- 4:11Speaker 4: I mean, if I gave you a bag of shredded
- 4:13Speaker 4: lettuce right now, would you eat it?
- 4:14Speaker 2: Yes, I wouldn't hesitate. I wouldn't. I'd be like a rabbit.
- 4:17Speaker 2: I'd be eating that lettuce.
- 4:18Speaker 1: But I will tell you this what tackle Bell does,
- 4:21Speaker 1: because you pointed out that they've had six problems in the.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Past, so they're great with drive through.
- 4:27Speaker 1: They're really the best of any fast food restaurant I've
- 4:31Speaker 1: ever known. And remember I managed Mickey D's. So at
- 4:34Speaker 1: the drive through they announced tacos will not have lettuce.
- 4:38Speaker 1: None of our products will have lettuce, and the lines
- 4:40Speaker 1: go around the block. The lines go around the block
- 4:43Speaker 1: because they've done this before. It's almost like they used
- 4:46Speaker 1: to it, because it's always generally in the lettuce or
- 4:50Speaker 1: in any vegetable product.
- 4:52Speaker 4: It is apart right, scallions, green onions. Actually, I was
- 4:56Speaker 4: picking off little pieces of scallions off of something I
- 4:59Speaker 4: was eating yesterday. Honestly, you know how small they are.
- 5:01Speaker 4: I was sitting there picking them off like.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Plate Natalie, what is wrong with you? No, no, get
- 5:06Speaker 2: that thing, big Greek. You gotta have zalad. It's like Italians.
- 5:10Speaker 2: You gotta have the zalad before you have the dinner.
- 5:13Speaker 4: No, no, no, I'm done with salad right now. I'm
- 5:15Speaker 4: actually going to go to my farmer's market tomorrow and
- 5:18Speaker 4: by that by lettuce that was grown in New Jersey.
- 5:21Speaker 2: That's what I'm having. Okay.
- 5:23Speaker 3: I don't know where it came from yet. It could
- 5:25Speaker 3: be the Jersey, it could be the Jersey produce.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Well, this is a farm stand.
- 5:30Speaker 2: I think it's going to.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Be a little tomatoes here, right. You think in Jersey
- 5:33Speaker 1: a tomato is a fruit. We in New York, we
- 5:38Speaker 1: know what it is. It's a vegetable. But one thousand
- 5:41Speaker 1: and six hundred Americans have gotten almost definitely sick in
- 5:45Speaker 1: thirty four states. But the biggest area is Monroe County
- 5:49Speaker 1: in Michigan, biggest area per capita of purer And they
- 5:53Speaker 1: went to the taco bell some reporters. The lines were
- 5:56Speaker 1: alound the bark for you know, the takeout right care.
- 6:00Speaker 2: No, the people that go there don't care. I probably
- 6:02Speaker 2: don't even know. They haven't even read about it.
- 6:05Speaker 1: I think in solidarity with Taco Bell. I hope you
- 6:08Speaker 1: don't mind. I am going to purchase Taco Bell tonight, okay,
- 6:12Speaker 1: and I'm going to bring it here in the morning
- 6:14Speaker 1: with the lettuce.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Uh.
- 6:16Speaker 1: And I'm going to eat Taco Bell if you don't mind,
- 6:18Speaker 1: because look, I'm in solidarity with Taco Bell and Crash.
- 6:23Speaker 1: We're going on the time machine. We're going back in time.
- 6:26Speaker 1: He remembers that I was not hermetically sealed to the
- 6:31Speaker 1: seat in the in the porcelain Palace.
- 6:35Speaker 3: But that may happen normally at Taco Bell.
- 6:38Speaker 2: But see if it does happen, Larry, you're doing the program.
- 6:41Speaker 2: So for a while.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Now we can get we can get a remote thing
- 6:45Speaker 3: on you.
- 6:45Speaker 2: You can. You can do it from the from the boy,
- 6:48Speaker 2: not from the bell. Although I tell you one thing, tremendous.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Sound effects going on.
- 6:54Speaker 3: People wouldn't turn away. I did it, maybe the best
- 6:57Speaker 3: thing Curtis ever said.
- 6:59Speaker 2: I did it. We mote with Rudy Giuliani when he
- 7:02Speaker 2: was at WABC.
- 7:04Speaker 1: From his bathroom in his Palmbee's condo, which was larger
- 7:09Speaker 1: than my whole apartment than its share with Nancy and
- 7:12Speaker 1: the cats in the Parsley palace. Why because he had
- 7:17Speaker 1: everything said it was enormous, I mean.
- 7:19Speaker 4: Bad, just because it was a good space to have
- 7:21Speaker 4: a room.
- 7:21Speaker 1: But though it had the perfect acoustics, you have to
- 7:25Speaker 1: have that when you do remote. I'm telling you, I said, hey, Rudy,
- 7:29Speaker 1: you realize this is larger than the apartment that I
- 7:32Speaker 1: live in with better acoustics.
- 7:34Speaker 2: Oh, I'm telling you it can be done.
- 7:35Speaker 1: And by the way, let's flip the script, because locally
- 7:38Speaker 1: the Alta Kacas is still walking around with it the
- 7:41Speaker 1: stilled water on the upper east side, although now it
- 7:43Speaker 1: seems to have drifted over to the west side across
- 7:47Speaker 1: Central Park, right towards the Museum of Natural History. It's legioneers.
- 7:53Speaker 1: It is unfortunately killed its third victim. Seventy four cases,
- 7:58Speaker 1: fifty nine people hospital, seventy six cooling towers were cleansed.
- 8:06Speaker 1: It's a bad form of pneumonia. And remember the last
- 8:08Speaker 1: time this happened when Eric Adams was may and well
- 8:11Speaker 1: I'm not blaming any mayors for this, but five died
- 8:14Speaker 1: in Harlem and one hundred and fourteen was shick until
- 8:18Speaker 1: they fully cleansed all these all these cooling towers.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Imagine three dead and.
- 8:26Speaker 1: I'm assuming that with so many hospitalized fifty nine that
- 8:30Speaker 1: number may actually increase.
- 8:32Speaker 3: It may and because one of the people had been
- 8:35Speaker 3: released from the hospital and then died and had to
- 8:37Speaker 3: go back fast and didn't have much time after he
- 8:40Speaker 3: got back there. Listen, I covered this back way back
- 8:45Speaker 3: in the seventies when I was first in the news
- 8:48Speaker 3: in Philadelphia, and You're probably right. There's probably gonna be
- 8:51Speaker 3: a couple of more deaths. They've learned how to treat
- 8:54Speaker 3: this a little bit better, but once it gets a
- 8:57Speaker 3: hold of you. I mean, as you've just heard, released
- 9:00Speaker 3: somebody from the hospital and he had it still and
- 9:04Speaker 3: had to go back and he died. And so I
- 9:07Speaker 3: think you're right. It seems like the cases are going
- 9:10Speaker 3: to diminish now. It seems like they have a handle
- 9:13Speaker 3: on it. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that's true.
- 9:16Speaker 3: But I agree with you, there's probably gonna be one
- 9:18Speaker 3: or two more deaths.
- 9:19Speaker 1: I'm being forced by our program directly the best in
- 9:21Speaker 1: the business, Tom Cuddy, to apologize to Natalie Migliore. I
- 9:27Speaker 1: had insinuated it she was out two days because she
- 9:30Speaker 1: had Montezuma's revenge, or what I call the cyclops disease.
- 9:34Speaker 2: She will be here today.
- 9:35Speaker 1: She's already scouring the streets and we'll be up in
- 9:38Speaker 1: the suites at eight fifty four to give us the
- 9:42Speaker 1: reports from New Yorker's about the end of World Cup.
- 9:45Speaker 2: She did not.
- 9:46Speaker 1: She was in fact on the Jersey shore. And as
- 9:48Speaker 1: you can see our newsgal lambasted me the other day
- 9:53Speaker 1: and said I did not have the cyclops disease. Montezuma's revenge.
- 9:58Speaker 1: She's out today. It was already a day that she
- 10:02Speaker 1: was on her calendar to be off. So now I
- 10:05Speaker 1: have to apologize the same way that the FDA has
- 10:08Speaker 1: had to apologize to the makers of the lettuce tail
- 10:13Speaker 1: of farms and to Taco Bell. So you see, have
- 10:16Speaker 1: I done my apology Natalie Taco Bell.
- 10:23Speaker 2: No, I'm gonna get Taco Bell in in the morning.
- 10:25Speaker 3: Okay, you'll still get it. It may not be that,
- 10:29Speaker 3: but it's still gonna be explosive diarrhea.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Anyway.
- 10:31Speaker 1: As you know, seventy ten wor dot Com Slash America
- 10:37Speaker 1: was the great series we did leading up to our
- 10:39Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
- 10:42Speaker 2: And yes, Larry has.
- 10:44Speaker 1: An addendum to that, an addendum to that that points
- 10:48Speaker 1: out what it was like in that era when we
- 10:51Speaker 1: were fighting the Brits for our freedom and our independence.
- 10:58Speaker 1: Plus a chance to see on Mellencamp at eight twenty five.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Now let's talk about a CEC Radio Solar with Bluetooth.

- 12:51Speaker 1: From time to time people come up and Shay, I
- 12:54Speaker 1: want to compliment Larry on your shelf for that great
- 12:57Speaker 1: series you did leading up to the two hundred and
- 12:59Speaker 1: fifty anniversary of our country, the many vignettes that we
- 13:05Speaker 1: did about the Revolutionary War in New York, New Jersey.
- 13:08Speaker 1: You can get the full number of vignettes by going
- 13:13Speaker 1: to seven ten WR dot com slash America. But from
- 13:17Speaker 1: time to time because we're celebrating the two hundred and
- 13:20Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of this great nation. We'll update you and Larry,
- 13:25Speaker 1: you have a story that really sets the tone for
- 13:28Speaker 1: what it was like.
- 13:29Speaker 2: That this is.
- 13:29Speaker 3: It's just amazing. It's amazing what science can do nowadays
- 13:34Speaker 3: and DNA technology, what it can find.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Listen to this.
- 13:38Speaker 3: Scientists have identified a teenaged soldier killed in the American
- 13:44Speaker 3: Revolution two hundred and forty six years ago. DNA analysis
- 13:50Speaker 3: shows the remains of the Battle of Camden in South Carolina.
- 13:55Speaker 3: Nine hundred Americans died. Nine hundred American revolutionaries died on
- 13:59Speaker 3: that day. This they identified as the remains of Private
- 14:05Speaker 3: John Pumphrey, and he was from a prominent Maryland family
- 14:10Speaker 3: and they did have some medical records to check on this.
- 14:14Speaker 3: They said he fought for the Seventh Regiment. They don't
- 14:18Speaker 3: know the cause of death.
- 14:21Speaker 5: We don't really know what John Pumphrey's cause of death
- 14:24Speaker 5: was because they did not find a particular injury on
- 14:27Speaker 5: his body. It's possible that he had a soft tissue injury,
- 14:30Speaker 5: like a bayonet injury, but it's a little hard to
- 14:34Speaker 5: tell after two hundred and forty six years.
- 14:37Speaker 3: Once they got the DNA They had to check it
- 14:40Speaker 3: against twenty thousand other samples and what they knew about
- 14:45Speaker 3: the people that were fighting at the time. But listen
- 14:47Speaker 3: to this. They estimated he was between thirteen and fifteen
- 14:52Speaker 3: years old and fighting for the Revolutionary War, fighting for
- 14:57Speaker 3: the Continental Army. And what they also said, say that
- 15:00Speaker 3: wasn't uncommon. I mean, if you were a male and
- 15:04Speaker 3: you were past adolescents, you could fight. You didn't have to,
- 15:09Speaker 3: but most would join the army. Most would join the
- 15:13Speaker 3: either side. You know, there were some loyalists that fought
- 15:15Speaker 3: that went with the British. So but how about that.
- 15:20Speaker 3: The more amazing to me is the DNA technology and
- 15:25Speaker 3: how advanced it is that we can identify a body
- 15:28Speaker 3: from two hundred and forty six years.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Ago, identify the innocent, and identify bodies from now centuries
- 15:36Speaker 1: before that you never thought would have ever been identified.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Ever.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of amazing. Let's get some talkbacks, Curtis.
- 15:45Speaker 6: Is one thing I'm going to miss about the World Cup,
- 15:47Speaker 6: and that's you saying fee five full fun. Maybe you
- 15:49Speaker 6: could say it one last time as a as a yeah,
- 15:52Speaker 6: goodbye and Larry Taco Bell forty years ago, I remember
- 15:56Speaker 6: it first came to the New York area, and I
- 15:59Speaker 6: remember it was out in Long Island. I was grown,
- 16:01Speaker 6: grew up in Queens and it was such a tree
- 16:03Speaker 6: to go to Taco Bell and get the Burrito Supreme
- 16:07Speaker 6: or you know where their tacos, and the quality was
- 16:10Speaker 6: just outstanding.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Not so much anymore, well even back then.
- 16:14Speaker 3: Come on, admit it. You know it's not good for you.
- 16:17Speaker 3: You know you may be spending some time on the pot,
- 16:20Speaker 3: but you can't resist it. Late at night when you
- 16:23Speaker 3: want something to eat, Taco Bell is perfect.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Oh much more. Preferred to have to watch any more
- 16:28Speaker 1: of those fee fi fo fum fifa Soka games. I
- 16:33Speaker 1: hope coming up Warner is gonna share that same feeling with.
- 16:36Speaker 2: Me, I hope not.
- 16:38Speaker 7: Just wanted to comment on the World Cup. Did you
- 16:40Speaker 7: see the clown wanted to be uh on the stage
- 16:46Speaker 7: when Spain lifted up when they lifted the cup. He
- 16:50Speaker 7: didn't want to leave the stage. And if Antino tried
- 16:55Speaker 7: to pull him off the stage and he just stayed there, he.
- 17:02Speaker 3: Is an idiot. But they were just having too much fun.
- 17:04Speaker 3: I think after a while they didn't want to have
- 17:07Speaker 3: to leave the stage. They didn't you get the film.
- 17:09Speaker 3: They didn't care.
- 17:10Speaker 1: I think he was taking shots at the president. I
- 17:13Speaker 1: think so, Yeah, he was. He was because Trump came
- 17:17Speaker 1: up on stage, which was fine. He's the president of
- 17:19Speaker 1: the host nation, not the Canada and Mexico, which it
- 17:25Speaker 1: was also repeta. So he was taking a shot at Trump.
- 17:28Speaker 1: And I want to compliment all the players for not
- 17:33Speaker 1: removing their hands when walking through the line receiving their
- 17:37Speaker 1: medals because some in Spain they don't like us too much.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Was exactly, they wouldn't shake Trump's hands and they did.
- 17:44Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 17:44Speaker 3: No, it was wonderful. Everything was wonderful about it. Now
- 17:47Speaker 3: let's get to Larry Kowski in for Daria Albinger with

- 19:07Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Larry. When we come up, well,
- 19:10Speaker 3: we'll see if Curtis gets his wish. We'll find out
- 19:13Speaker 3: what Warner Wolf thought about the World Cup. Now, let's
- 19:18Speaker 3: talk about life back, and I want to give you
- 19:20Speaker 3: some really good News. Legislation to make Life Back mandatory
- 19:26Speaker 3: in schools is making its way through the New Jersey legislature.
- 19:31Speaker 3: It's also now in the Pennsylvania legislature. This is going
- 19:35Speaker 3: across the country because people know how important this is.
- 19:39Speaker 3: People know how quickly an ordinary moment can turn into
- 19:43Speaker 3: an emergency. Choking is one of those moments, maybe the
- 19:47Speaker 3: leading moment, and it can happen to anyone. You've seen it.
- 19:50Speaker 3: It's happened in front of many of us. Just think
- 19:54Speaker 3: if you couldn't help that child, or the parent, or
- 19:58Speaker 3: the grandparent, because you know when it does, seconds matter.
- 20:02Speaker 3: That's why I want to tell you about Life Back.
- 20:03Speaker 3: LIFEFAC is the first and only FDA authorized suction anti
- 20:07Speaker 3: choking device to be used for second line treatment when
- 20:11Speaker 3: recommended choking protocols have been followed without success. Sure you
- 20:16Speaker 3: can see if you can pat them on the back
- 20:17Speaker 3: and get it out. Sure you can try the heimlick.
- 20:19Speaker 3: It doesn't always work. This is a sure thing. And
- 20:23Speaker 3: here's what's remarkable. Life Back has helped save over six
- 20:27Speaker 3: thousand lives worldwide. Those are real people, six thousand families,
- 20:33Speaker 3: six thousand people who got second chances. Preparedness matters. Having
- 20:39Speaker 3: the right tool nearby can make all the difference in
- 20:43Speaker 3: the world. It can be the difference between life and death.
- 20:47Speaker 3: So I'm sure you want to learn more about life fact,
- 20:49Speaker 3: you go to lifefac dot net. That's lifeback dot net.
- 20:54Speaker 3: You visit lifefact dot net and you can see how
- 20:57Speaker 3: you can be ready the next time.
- 20:59Speaker 2: It counts.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Right now, time for the legendary Warner Wolf and thank
- 21:04Speaker 3: you Warner. You can be the tiebreaker here because we
- 21:07Speaker 3: were talking about the World Cup and Curtis just can't
- 21:12Speaker 3: stand it. Thinks it's dull, thought it was boring, can't
- 21:15Speaker 3: wait for it to leave. I'm not a big soccer fan,
- 21:18Speaker 3: but I was riveted by it. I thought it even
- 21:21Speaker 3: though there were no goals, I thought it was exciting.
- 21:24Speaker 9: And you must be riveted by everything. An hour and
- 21:29Speaker 9: a half regulation, no goals. If you missed the entire regulation,
- 21:34Speaker 9: you didn't miss anything. Wait a minute, Argentina had no
- 21:39Speaker 9: shots on goal. None. That means Spain could have played
- 21:43Speaker 9: without a goalie. No shots from goal. You gotta be kidding.
- 21:51Speaker 9: I'll tell you what else I didn't watch yesterday on
- 21:53Speaker 9: TV Golf, UFC, boxing and auto racing. Well, they never
- 21:58Speaker 9: miss it.
- 22:00Speaker 2: The right turn now.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Now, one thing you focused on is good sportsmanship, no
- 22:05Speaker 1: matter what the sport. And towards the end of the
- 22:09Speaker 1: match between the Argentines in Spain, some of the Argentina
- 22:13Speaker 1: players were brawling on the field. They wouldn't do the
- 22:17Speaker 1: postgame interviews, you know, like a little cryberry bees, including MESSI, because.
- 22:22Speaker 2: They're sore losers. I hate that. They had no reason
- 22:27Speaker 2: to be sore losers. They got killed on that pitch.
- 22:30Speaker 9: Warner, Well maybe they don't speak English. Say what about
- 22:38Speaker 9: the football, Curtis, the real football? You know, no matter
- 22:43Speaker 9: what you've done in the NFL, they'll sign you. I mean,
- 22:49Speaker 9: look at this guy, Terry On Arnold. You gotta begindding.
- 22:53Speaker 9: I want to see if somebody signs him. My gosh,
- 22:57Speaker 9: kidnapping and I mean get them. Well, look you shouldn't
- 23:00Speaker 9: be surprised. Look at ray Lewis. Remember that? Oh yeah,
- 23:04Speaker 9: continue to play play play for the Ravens thirteen years
- 23:08Speaker 9: after being charged with double murder, and he settled out
- 23:12Speaker 9: of court with the deceased family. And he was also
- 23:16Speaker 9: charged and convicted of obstruction of justice. Oh man, I mean,
- 23:22Speaker 9: this is that's the NFL. Some people say, and oh,
- 23:25Speaker 9: by the way, Stefan Diggs is still a free agency
- 23:30Speaker 9: right now. So but some people say, instead of the
- 23:34Speaker 9: NFL standing for the National Football League, it should stand
- 23:38Speaker 9: for the National Felons League.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Correct.
- 23:41Speaker 1: And there was a time warner where you would indicate
- 23:46Speaker 1: every Cincinnati active Bengal.
- 23:49Speaker 9: Oh yeah, but Curtis and Kooby, that's right.
- 23:53Speaker 1: And you would talk about how many of them had
- 23:56Speaker 1: bracelets on their ankles because they were under.
- 24:00Speaker 9: The introductions, right, instead of the numbers, we list their crimes.
- 24:07Speaker 2: Oh, and it went on and on. But let me
- 24:09Speaker 2: talk about Medlife Stadium.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Now that we got MetLife Stadium back, we don't have
- 24:14Speaker 1: to call it New York New Jersey Stadium. Oofah FIFA.
- 24:18Speaker 1: But the Jets are depending on Geno Smith this season.
- 24:22Speaker 1: I mean he's been with us before, right, he's been
- 24:25Speaker 1: with us before. It did great with Seattle, did horrible
- 24:28Speaker 1: with Las Vegas Raiders. But he's involved in all kinds
- 24:32Speaker 1: of Mama drama down in Florida where he lives. He's
- 24:36Speaker 1: had speeding violations. You know what I would say, what
- 24:40Speaker 1: I would say to uh, the owners and operators of
- 24:44Speaker 1: the Jets, get him to live up here near MetLife
- 24:48Speaker 1: Stadium and get him the hell out of that mama
- 24:51Speaker 1: drama that's plaguing him in Florida.
- 24:54Speaker 9: Yeah, we don't want him. Oh. By the way, you're
- 25:01Speaker 9: talking about quarterbacks, you see that ESPN came out with
- 25:06Speaker 9: their greatest one hundred NFL Quarterbacks of all Time. And
- 25:11Speaker 9: by the way, they also said that the Bears Khaleb
- 25:14Speaker 9: Williams was the best active quarterback today. You're gonna be kidding, man.
- 25:21Speaker 9: If I need a touchdown or a field goal with
- 25:23Speaker 9: two minutes to go, it's either Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen.
- 25:27Speaker 9: It's not Khaleb Williams. But as far as this all
- 25:31Speaker 9: time passed quarterbacks, you know, it depends on what city
- 25:35Speaker 9: you're from and what era did he play. Okay, so
- 25:40Speaker 9: they say Tom Brady is the greatest, Well, yeah, especially
- 25:43Speaker 9: if you're from New England. But let me tell you something.
- 25:46Speaker 9: If you're from Baltimore in the nineteen fifties and sixties,
- 25:50Speaker 9: there's only one guy, Johnny Unitas. And if you were
- 25:55Speaker 9: from San Francisco, Joe Montana is the greatest of all time. Pittsburgh,
- 26:00Speaker 9: it would be Terry Bradshaw or Washington, Sonny Jurgensen, Sammy
- 26:05Speaker 9: ball before him. And if you're from Cleveland, there was
- 26:09Speaker 9: no better quarterback than Otto Graham who played ten years,
- 26:13Speaker 9: five in the AFL and five in the NFL, and
- 26:16Speaker 9: he was in championship game in all ten years. You know,
- 26:20Speaker 9: you can't don't give us that here's the greatest quarterbacker. No, no,
- 26:25Speaker 9: I don't bother by the way. You know, the rules
- 26:28Speaker 9: have changed, especially roughing the passer. I once asked Johnny
- 26:31Speaker 9: and IDAs, who got mugged all the time because they
- 26:35Speaker 9: didn't call roughing the passer. I asked him about today's game,
- 26:39Speaker 9: and he said, when are the quarterbacks going to start
- 26:42Speaker 9: wearing dresses? Yeah? I mean that's the way it was. Hey.
- 26:48Speaker 3: You know, hey, real quick, I'm looking up and down
- 26:50Speaker 3: this list. You mentioned Terry Bradshaw. I don't see him
- 26:53Speaker 3: in the top one hundred. I mean the number one
- 26:56Speaker 3: job of a quarterback is to win, right.
- 26:58Speaker 9: Yeah, from Pittsburgh, I mean for super Bowls. That's it.
- 27:01Speaker 9: He's the greatest quarterback of all time if you're from Pittsburgh,
- 27:05Speaker 9: hands down, period. And I don't know these guys. You
- 27:08Speaker 9: got to get these voters out of there, get them out,
- 27:11Speaker 9: wake them up. So hey, and I'm about the stooge
- 27:16Speaker 9: of the week man, the commissioner the w NBA, Kathy Engelbert.
- 27:22Speaker 9: Remember she didn't find or suspend Allison Thomas for punching
- 27:28Speaker 9: Caitlin Clark in the throat. Well, we now now find
- 27:32Speaker 9: out that Engelhart apparently received a phone call from NBA
- 27:37Speaker 9: Commissioner Adam Silver, who told him told her told her
- 27:43Speaker 9: Engelhart to do So that's all there is to it.
- 27:46Speaker 9: I mean, what did Thomas have to do choke Clark
- 27:49Speaker 9: to get at least a foul?
- 27:51Speaker 1: Oh man, man, I'm telling you wanna the WNBA.
- 27:56Speaker 2: She is the goose that laid the gold egg.
- 28:01Speaker 1: And some of these players are going out of their
- 28:03Speaker 1: way to destroy their income, to destroy all the eyeballs
- 28:07Speaker 1: they get every time Caitlin Clark gets on the hardwood.
- 28:11Speaker 3: But the league has to do something too. The league
- 28:13Speaker 3: has to step in here.
- 28:14Speaker 9: Yeah, she's their meal to She's the w NBA meal
- 28:18Speaker 9: ticket for the other players, and they just don't get it.
- 28:22Speaker 9: And hey, real quick man, how about that All Star
- 28:28Speaker 9: Game and the home run hitting contest last week? Both bogus?
- 28:32Speaker 9: Oh man, you know you had the sixty three old
- 28:35Speaker 9: father throwing meatballs down the middle All Star Game twenty seven. Strakeouts,
- 28:46Speaker 9: you know what, I would take the All Star Game
- 28:48Speaker 9: off TV and show highlights of games of the past,
- 28:53Speaker 9: like you know, Demijo and Mays and Mantle and Jackie Robinson,
- 28:58Speaker 9: Ted Williams Aaron and show the kids how the game should.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Be played right, or just go to the old home
- 29:05Speaker 1: run Baseball Man where you'd see two of the best
- 29:08Speaker 1: who would team off on one another. But anyway, Warner,
- 29:11Speaker 1: it's time for us to say bye bye, same time,
- 29:14Speaker 1: same place, next week, Warner Wolf up next. Remember that
- 29:19Speaker 1: song Pallisades Park Swings all Day and after Dark was
- 29:22Speaker 1: done by Freddie Cannon. Unfortunately he's passed away. But we'll
- 29:26Speaker 1: break it down to you because Palisade Park, the great
- 29:29Speaker 1: amusement park, was never in Palisade Park, New Jersey, was
- 29:33Speaker 1: in Cliffside Park and Fort Lee, but that didn't rhyme
- 29:37Speaker 1: with the saw. And what you gotta also know is
- 29:42Speaker 1: how to protect yourself because there are banditos of all
- 29:46Speaker 1: types out there who are basically surfing the Internet and
- 29:50Speaker 1: they have a file with your name on it, your
- 29:52Speaker 1: home address, you sell number, your email address, and there's more,
- 29:56Speaker 1: your medical conditions, age, how to vote, how you voted
- 30:00Speaker 1: your kids' names. You can't read that file, but anyone
- 30:04Speaker 1: with a credit card combine.
- 30:05Speaker 2: And it's legal.
- 30:07Speaker 1: That file is the product of a multi billion dollar
- 30:10Speaker 1: industry called data brokers. Your file is collected, packaged, and
- 30:13Speaker 1: sold legally. I did something about my file. I use Incognate,
- 30:18Speaker 1: get a pad and pen to write it down. I
- 30:20Speaker 1: n Coogni in cognategals broker by broker and forces each
- 30:26Speaker 1: one to delete your file.
- 30:28Speaker 2: The opt out forms.
- 30:29Speaker 1: They buried in Cogni then finds them every scam call,
- 30:34Speaker 1: every phishing text that knows too much about you. Someone
- 30:38Speaker 1: paid for your file. Last year, Americans lost the record
- 30:41Speaker 1: twenty billion dollars plus to fraud. Scammers didn't get lucky,
- 30:45Speaker 1: they just got prepared. And when your data tries to
- 30:49Speaker 1: creep back, Incognitate wipes it again. So doing cogniti dot
- 30:53Speaker 1: com slash curtis. Go there right now for sixty percent off.
- 30:58Speaker 1: That's i Ni dot com slash curtis. Take your private
- 31:03Speaker 1: life off the marketplace. I n cog ni dot com
- 31:08Speaker 1: slash Curtis. Emotions run hoigh, how many times? And growing
- 31:12Speaker 1: up did I hear the song about Palisades Park swings
- 31:16Speaker 1: all day and after dark. Great amusement park that you
- 31:19Speaker 1: could see from Manhattan, right by the George Washington Bridge
- 31:22Speaker 1: and the Palisades. And the guy who sang it, Freddy Cannon,
- 31:26Speaker 1: the reason we're talking about it now passed away yesterday.
- 31:31Speaker 1: And the irony is he didn't even know what Pallisage
- 31:34Speaker 1: Park was. But Chuck Barris, who eventually went on to
- 31:39Speaker 1: host The Gong Show, wrote a song about an amusement park.
- 31:43Speaker 1: He's across in Manhattan and he says, well, what's that
- 31:46Speaker 1: thing over there with.
- 31:46Speaker 2: All the lights?
- 31:47Speaker 1: Did they tell him, Oh, that's palis Sage Park amusement park.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Boom put the name on it. Freddy Cannon sings it.
- 31:55Speaker 1: And the other irony is Pali Sage Park is never
- 31:57Speaker 1: in Pali Stage Park, New Jersey, was in Cliffside Park
- 32:00Speaker 1: and Fort Lee. They just couldn't get it to rhyme.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Still a great song.
- 32:04Speaker 3: It's funny as I look at some of the obituaries
- 32:06Speaker 3: for Freddy Cannon, many of them talk about Pallisades Park,
- 32:10Speaker 3: but the other songs some have put in the headlines.
- 32:13Speaker 3: The writer of Tallahassee Lassie.
- 32:16Speaker 10: He comes from g Jassy Loud. Maybe he looks a
- 32:24Speaker 10: little sassy. Woud's amaze real classy.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Class Now.
- 32:35Speaker 3: Look, he died at eighty nine, but he seemed to
- 32:38Speaker 3: be really doing well till the end. He was even
- 32:41Speaker 3: scheduled to do an interview with cousin Brucey when he
- 32:45Speaker 3: you know, these people called and said he had to cancel.
- 32:48Speaker 3: It's funny. I'm one Variety right now, and I went
- 32:52Speaker 3: to Variety to look up some things about him that
- 32:54Speaker 3: I may not remember, and quoted throughout the article, and
- 32:58Speaker 3: variety is the legendary Tom Cuddy, the program director, who
- 33:03Speaker 3: was a great friend of his.
- 33:04Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but in addition, you went to Palisade Park,
- 33:08Speaker 1: with the world's largest salt water pool at that time,
- 33:11Speaker 1: you would have whether it was cousin bruce or Clay
- 33:14Speaker 1: cole be the MC my sister's favorite. The leader a
- 33:18Speaker 1: little older than me was Bobby Rydal from Philadelphia. But
- 33:22Speaker 1: they had stars galore coming in constantly.
- 33:26Speaker 7: You know.
- 33:26Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty nine, we say half a million strong
- 33:29Speaker 1: went up to Woodstock, right, ten million visitors. That was
- 33:34Speaker 1: the height of the success of Palisades Part ten million
- 33:39Speaker 1: visitors in nineteen sixty nine. It wasn't open all year
- 33:42Speaker 1: long either imagine that phenomenon, and that's that's what Freddy
- 33:48Speaker 1: Cannon was married to that song, even though originally had
- 33:51Speaker 1: no idea what Pallas Aida Park was.
- 33:53Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a quote from Tom Cuddy from
- 33:55Speaker 3: the Variety article only because he's our program director now.
- 33:59Speaker 3: But man year in the business, and he knows all
- 34:02Speaker 3: of the big acts, so I'm not surprised he knows
- 34:05Speaker 3: Freddie Boom Boom Cannon. He says, I had never seen
- 34:08Speaker 3: a performer who kept his performance so upbeating fun. Dick
- 34:13Speaker 3: Clark once told me that every time he hosted an
- 34:16Speaker 3: oldies concert, he asked Freddy to open it because he
- 34:19Speaker 3: knew Freddy would get the audience on their feet with
- 34:22Speaker 3: up tempo rock and roll. So you know, I'm sure
- 34:27Speaker 3: most of the people in our audience remember his songs.
- 34:30Speaker 3: He was a great one. Freddie Boom Boom Cannon dead
- 34:34Speaker 3: at the age of eighty nine.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Let me see if I remember some of those words.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Last night, I took a walk after dark a swinging
- 34:41Speaker 1: place called Palisage Park to have some fun and see
- 34:45Speaker 1: what I could see. That's where the girls are, and
- 34:49Speaker 1: that's where the boys wanted to be.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Oh man.
- 34:52Speaker 1: And if you were a lonely guy and you couldn't
- 34:56Speaker 1: hook up, all he had to do was take the
- 34:59Speaker 1: bus from the George Washington Bridge station on the Manhattan.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Side, the public bus. Right of course. I think it
- 35:07Speaker 2: was like a nickel or a dime, and the next.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Thing, you know, you might have gotten lucky day after dark.
- 35:15Speaker 2: One thing I didn't.
- 35:16Speaker 3: Mention was for everybody that watched Dick Clark an American Bandstand,
- 35:20Speaker 3: his theme song Action, That was a song by Freddy Cannon.
- 35:25Speaker 1: Wow, oh baby, come on baby, come on remember this?
- 35:34Speaker 2: Yeah, baby, come.
- 35:38Speaker 8: It so need to meet your baby.
- 35:40Speaker 1: Weathers all right.
- 35:42Speaker 3: Let's sweeze in and talk back.
- 35:44Speaker 2: Curtis, good morning. You always go over the top on
- 35:47Speaker 2: your comments.
- 35:48Speaker 5: So a few people in Israel said something bad about
- 35:51Speaker 5: Jada e Vance, calling an anti Semi.
- 35:53Speaker 2: It's been that way for decades. They have the right
- 35:56Speaker 2: to say that. No one cares.
- 35:57Speaker 8: There's always going to be some that if anyone says
- 35:59Speaker 8: any thing about Israel, they call him anti Smitik.
- 36:02Speaker 1: It's well, we'll get to that up next. We're going
- 36:04Speaker 1: to be talking about the continued war. It's taking place
- 36:08Speaker 1: in Iran as we speak, and we'll talk about JD
- 36:11Speaker 1: and BB, but first
