Hour 3: NYC Marathon · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I did a video earlier today that you can find
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, right, at 710WOR, talking about the fact that
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: there has been increased early voter turnout across the country.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Some places are setting records up 200% in Kansas, for instance,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: up 75% in New York State. And so there's a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: lot of interest in this election, and it's worrisome. if
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you're a Republican, it's worrisome if you want Donald Trump
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to continue with his agenda for the next two years,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: because usually, usually, not always, but usually when there's a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: high turnout, it is caused by anger. And the anger
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: is definitely on the Democratic side. And so that's what's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: happened in past elections. That's why it's very difficult for
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a party that owns the White House or that controls
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the White House is then able to win in the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: midterms because the anger is all towards the president at
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the time. But let me tell you why I feel
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit better now about Texas. Because Texas, they
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: got 4.5 million people that voted already. And that is
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: close to a record. There was one time, only one time,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: when there was more people that came out for early voting,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and that is when Beto O'Rourke ran against Ted Cruz.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: If you follow politics, you know where I'm going with this.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Because Beto O'Rourke was the big star of the Democratic Party.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: All the attention was put on him. He was going
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to knock off Ted Cruz. All the polls showed it.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: And then there was this mess of early voting. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: he got beat. And not just by the slimmest of margins,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he got beat. It wasn't a landslide, but it was
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a pretty good win for Ted Cruz. So people came
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: out because they were afraid the Democrats were going to
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: take over in that midterm election. Now, other Democrats won
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: across the country, but their big star, Beto O'Rourke, went down.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So there is some hope in all of this. In
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the meantime, Donald Trump isn't taking any chances. He went
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to Texas and he came up. Now, the big issue
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: there is cost of living is high, but not as
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: big as immigration. Immigration is still, according to the polls,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the number one issue in Texas. So Donald Trump came
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: with a new proposal.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You'll be my guest at Mar-a-Lago.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's not it. This is the one. That's the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: one you want to play. This is the one I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: want to play.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: We will pass the no invasion of our country act,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: prohibiting any future president from ever opening our borders to
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants again.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: It's never going to happen to you again. Texas, it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: will never happen to you again. What happened to you?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: That was an invasion of our country. That was a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: military invasion.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Right, and that is the quote that is getting the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: most play in Texas right now. But again, Curtis wants
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to play another cut. Go ahead.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: But wait, before you play the cut, you're comparing Paxton
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: to Ted Cruz, who ran a presidential race, who finished
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: second to Donald Trump, who was not a flawed candidate?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: No, I understand that you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Paxton is a flawed candidate who has a lot of
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Republicans refusing to support him.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, they've refused to support him mainly because they
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: like John Cornyn so much, not because of any of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: his flaws. Paxton is still popular in Texas. Paxton was
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: so popular in Texas, he won, he beat Cornyn. Now,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I know Donald Trump helped in that, but I wouldn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: say Paxton is a flawed candidate. Well, he's not good
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on the stump.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Number two, he has been embroiled in all kinds of
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: corruption charges, got impeached by the state legislature. None of
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: that ever happened at Ted Cruz, so I think your
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: dynamics in comparing O'Rourke.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Beto O'Rourke was here in New York. Beto O'Rourke was
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: everywhere because he was the new star of the Democratic Party.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And he fell on his face. And so, yes, you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: can compare it because Republicans came out in mass. You
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: heard me talk about the early turnout that year. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it was all rural. Guess what it is this year?
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: All rural.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: You think those people are going to tell a real?
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: The president has been there four times. The president knows
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: a hell of a lot that his candidate that he
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: chose is in trouble. Four times going to Texas? He's
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: been everywhere and he saw the polls. He doesn't want
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: to lose Texas.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You're right. But he doesn't want to lose South Carolina.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: He's going back to there. He doesn't want to lose.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: There's many states he's been to a couple of times.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: That's another candidate. I know you come up with these stories.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Darlene Graham, who is.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Now neck and neck in the polls, and Republicans are
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: jumping off her campaign. I know, you're thrilled. You were
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just thrilled. I'm just telling you the fact, when he
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: picks candidates, a lot of them lose. That's his history.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows the side you're taking on, every one of
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: these races.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: You do know Cornyn would have done much better against Tallarico.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You do know.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know that. In this climate, I don't know
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that at all. How do you know that?
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Larry, if you haven't understood Paxton's rocky road in Texas,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: and you're comparing it to Ted Cruz.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Listen, I know he's still popular in Texas because the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: polls tell me he's still popular in Texas. I think
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: anybody that ran in this.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Climate was going to have a difficult time. People are
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: having a difficult time who are Republicans across the country.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: The only state that Donald Trump has done two campaign
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: stops in one day is Texas.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Why is that? Because he wants the guy to win.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're getting at.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Because he knows he's in danger of losing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: He knows a lot of people are in danger. Have
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you looked at the polls? Why do you want to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: focus on this? Because you want to play this bite.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Here you go. Oh, well, let me intro the cut here. Yeah,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Because with affordability, cost of living, number one in the
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: minds of all Americans, all Americans, Donald Trump, who can't
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: stop himself from talking, said something that in the waning
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: days of everybody's campaign in America, who's a Democrat, is
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: going to be part of their last minute bias.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You'll be my guest at Mar-a-Lago.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: The problem is that for $ 5, 000, the most you'll be
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not even sure you could buy that. No, don't
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: go there. That's not a good place. If you're price conscious.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, you think that helps? You got it. No,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think it hurts at all. I think the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: people that came there, no. It's not. You say this
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: all the time. You keep asking for different soundbites. We
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: play them, and you tell me, oh, this is going
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to have legs. It's going to kill them, and it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: never does. It never does.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Would you agree that nationally, affordability, cost of living, is
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the number one issue on everyone's minds?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I do. You sound like a Democratic consultant right now.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Anybody will tell you that. Republicans will tell you that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: No, but you are the one that focuses in on
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: this stuff all the time, and it never has legs.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Because he should never have said that. It never has legs.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: In the waning days of the campaign, where people are concerned,
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: they're living check to check. What a stupid thing to say.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're right. That's like the great dad speech. No,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: he was telling a joke, and the people that are
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: there know that. You heard them laughing. It's telling a joke.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Those people are voting Republican, right?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: There's a vast majority of people out there that he
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: needs to vote Republican.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And they will because he was there. Who are independents,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: who are Democrats, who are not going to take well
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to that statement. We have done this almost every week.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: You've pulled out a Donald Trump bite or a bite
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: of some Republican somewhere that you told me is going
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to turn the election. And it never has. It has
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: no legs. Come tomorrow, nobody will be talking about this.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Nobody will be talking about this. But you want to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: focus on it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: That was the stupidest thing he could possibly say.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: In the face of affordability, cost of living, a rich
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: guy in Mar-a-Lago talking about how much it costs to
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: go to Mar-a-Lago.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows he's a rich guy. Tell me a favor.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Leave me a talk back. Let me know if you
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: were that offended by what Donald Trump said that you're
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: never going to vote for Donald Trump because that apparently
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: is the theory of the man sitting behind me.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I know he wants this election to be about him.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Think of me on the ballot.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Or Republicans. You know what I mean? That's what you're saying.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: This is so damning that he just lost. The Telerico
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: just won.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Would you agree that Democrats across the country are going
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: to use that in last minute ads?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: No, they're not. They're going to use it in ads.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They're going to help them in their states. They're not
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: going to use this. We'll see. Now, that's easy. We'll
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: be able to find out if I'm right about that.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: You do realize that... No, no, no, no. Let's wait.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Republican prospects are sinking as we speak. We'll wait for
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: all these ads. We'll wait for all these ads to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: prove if you're right for once.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Has Trump's appearances in any of these states helped anybody
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: in the polls?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm asking you. We're going to see. Listen.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: He hasn't helped anybody in the polls.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, some of the polls have gone up, but the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: only poll that's going to matter, the only poll is
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: going to matter is going to happen on tuesday rogers
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: rogers went up in the early voting rogers just early
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: voting is up but you're wrong right rogers you're wrong
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: it's neck and neck.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Okay come on Come on. You can't give anything. One
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: minute you say, I'm not feeling good. I'm feeling like, oh, man,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: we may lose this. And then the next minute you're
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: defending the indefensible.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Listen, I talk in facts. I don't talk about opinions
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: or the you seem to be this anti-Trump thing that that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: guides everything you say and everything you do and everything
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you want to do. There you go.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Well, he said the election is about him. Remember, he
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: didn't say it's about the candidates. He picked lousy candidates.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: He picked Darlene Graham in South Carolina. He picked Paxton
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: in Texas.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: The people of South Carolina picked Darlene Graham in South Carolina.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Understand the process.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: When we come back, you know what? We have to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: get to some talkbacks. There's a lot of them. For sure,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: but we've got to talk about the robot dog walker.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: So if you're.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Augmenting your income by walking dogs, which a lot of
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: people do, you can forget about it. You're going to
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: be replaced by a robot, and it's just going to
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: cost $ 20 an hour, plus a chance to see comedian
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: John Mulaney next. One of the things Larry and Natalie
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and I love doing when I go into Central Park
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: is to watch the dog walkers who will enter the
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: park where I live, the Upper West Side, sometimes they'll
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: have 10, 12, 15, 20 dogs at their side. All
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: of them seem to be compliant. They're not fighting with
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: one another. You know, they go in the park. They
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: enjoy a nice spirited walk. They do what they got
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: to do. And then the dog walker will bring them
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: back to their separate apartments. Well, dog walking, which was
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: always a great way to augment your income, especially if
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: you were between jobs, may suddenly no longer exist because
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: I have a robot dog walker. It'll only cost $ 20
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: an hour. And I have a feeling like in so
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: many other work capacities, the robot may end up replacing
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: most of these dog walkers who could really, really use
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: the money.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Many of them, as I said, are in between jobs.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So That's what's happening. Robots. You know, we talk so
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: much about AI replacing people and we don't talk enough
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: about robots replacing people. And everybody says when they talk
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: about AI that it's only going to replace high end jobs.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You know, it's going to be people at the very
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: top or technical people. But no, that's not the case.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: If they have robots, robots can do manufacturing. Robots can
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: come in. Robots can do plumbing. I mean, this is
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: a little scary when you talk about robots.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Also, the fact that how do they get into the
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: apartment to fetch the dog to begin with? Because that's
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: what a lot of the dog walkers do. And then
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: they have to return the dog to the individual apartments
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: because they're not all from the same location.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: Man, this is just a new way. First, it was
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: delivering Grubhub with a robot. Now it'll be Amazon with
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: a robot and dog walking, which has been a fixture
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: in the street life of New York City.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Now, I told you earlier that we were having a
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: problem with the talkbacks. I guess that's fixed now. So
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things we talked about today. I'll
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: try that. weave in a bunch of them we started
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: off talking about halloween and man did we get a
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: lot of talk backs about halloween but but here's one
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: about what we just talked about a second ago about
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: donald trump being in texas the fact that he's had
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to go there two times in one day that's his
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: third trip there overall to try to save the senate.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: Seat there all i have to say is love your
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: show curtis please stop being a debbie downer please please
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: we know you don't like trump We got it, okay?
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Chill out.
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: Chill out.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: I don't drink to Kool-Aid. Trump is going to lose
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: this election. Going to get swept in the House. Going
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: to get swept in the Senate. In just his own words.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Think of me as running.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'll correct you like you correct me. No, Trump's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: not running.
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: Yes, he is.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I agree with Larry. The Mar-a-Lago was a joke.
• 14:20
  Speaker 10: I'm more concerned about what Obama said about... cheesecake factory
• 14:23
  Speaker 10: where the middle class can actually go and have a
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: good meal he puts it down because he goes to
• 14:27
  Speaker 10: fancy places in martha's vineyard that's you should focus.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: On i would put that out more than uh with
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: the joke about mar-a-lago there are.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: Expensive places out there it's a fact i can't go
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: to mar-a-lago and eat a hamburger.
• 14:38
  Speaker 11: Because i mean i but i would go to cheesecake
• 14:41
  Speaker 11: factory and obama put it down wow.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: What is he in space was he in a space
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: capsule when he called god I'm going to say a truck.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: I couldn't even understand what he was talking about because
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: of all the noise in the background.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: We have to get a couple of the Halloween ones in.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: You know what the best thing about Halloween, Christmas, and
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: Easter is? The day after when all the candy is
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: like half off and they're trying to clear it out.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: And anyway, all these holidays are probably sponsored by every
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: dentist across America.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: He's right. Absolutely correct.
• 15:17
  Speaker 12: In Queens Middle Village in the 1970s, there were people
• 15:21
  Speaker 12: who would give out literal little bags of Halloween candy.
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: They used to sell them at the stores. And you'd
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: get Milky Ways and whatever, kisses and tons of different
• 15:34
  Speaker 12: pieces of candy in a little baggie. And some people, yeah,
• 15:38
  Speaker 12: would put change, like 75 cents or 25 cents. Those
• 15:41
  Speaker 12: were the good old days.
• 15:44
  Speaker 13: That brought back such a memory because my grandmother was
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: in Brooklyn. She used to do that for Halloween. You
• 15:50
  Speaker 13: would buy these little bags. They were like treat bags.
• 15:52
  Speaker 13: And you would fill them up. And you would hand
• 15:55
  Speaker 13: out the bags, not just pieces of candy. And that
• 15:58
  Speaker 13: was a thing.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that too. Yeah, so do I. Do
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you know why they stopped that? With all the fear
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: about having unwrapped bags. And that was the, they ruined everything.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: And it turns out much of that stuff, that wasn't true.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Nobody had ever had a razor blade in an apple
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: or anything like that. It just wasn't true.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: Well, we're not giving away candy now. Let's give away
• 16:20

  Speaker 1: you prepare for the race i know how the runners
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: do how about.
• 20:09
  Speaker 17: You Well, it's much like the runners, Larry. First, good
• 20:12
  Speaker 17: morning and thank you so very much. It's good to chat.
• 20:16
  Speaker 17: So all of our runners right now are tapering. So
• 20:19
  Speaker 17: they are getting their last miles in and tuning up
• 20:22
  Speaker 17: for what will be a great day of running. And
• 20:24
  Speaker 17: the team at New York Roadrunners are doing very much
• 20:27
  Speaker 17: the same thing. Checking the list twice, making sure everything
• 20:30
  Speaker 17: that we have is ready to go and looking forward
• 20:32
  Speaker 17: to an amazing race day on November 1st.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And congratulations. This is the 50th anniversary of the five boroughs.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: What has changed? Take us through the 50 years. What
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: has changed over those years?
• 20:44
  Speaker 17: Well, Larry, you know what they say for those of
• 20:46
  Speaker 17: us who are above 50, you only turn 50 once
• 20:49
  Speaker 17: the first time. So 1970 was the very first New
• 20:53
  Speaker 17: York City Marathon that happens in Central Park where runners
• 20:57
  Speaker 17: did about four loops of the park. And the race
• 21:01
  Speaker 17: grew from the first race that had 55 finishers to
• 21:05
  Speaker 17: last year's race where we had over 59,000 finishers.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: So much has.
• 21:11
  Speaker 17: Changed over the years. You know, the running community has changed.
• 21:15
  Speaker 17: The demographic of our runners have changed. The races have
• 21:18
  Speaker 17: become more diverse, more accessible. We're seeing more younger people
• 21:23
  Speaker 17: running the marathon distance, especially over the last 10 plus
• 21:26
  Speaker 17: years coming out of COVID. And older people that are
• 21:29
  Speaker 17: getting out there and challenging themselves and saying, hey, This
• 21:32
  Speaker 17: is a bucket list item I've always wanted to do.
• 21:35
  Speaker 17: So it's been incredible to see our city change and
• 21:39
  Speaker 17: evolve as well. Neighborhoods that have developed, mostly industrial spaces
• 21:45
  Speaker 17: that we ran through in years through Queens are now
• 21:47
  Speaker 17: beautiful neighborhoods and spaces there. So it's been an amazing
• 21:51
  Speaker 17: story to tell about the growth of the Roadrunners, the
• 21:54
  Speaker 17: growth of the marathon and the growth of our great city.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Now, I understand that for the first time in 15 years,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a course change. And I know
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the Bronx are near and dear to your heart. And
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the change is in the Bronx. Tell us about it. Yes, yes.
• 22:09
  Speaker 17: I am a Bronx native, born and raised, a proud
• 22:11
  Speaker 17: graduate of All Hollows High School. And it was really
• 22:15
  Speaker 17: interesting to see the work that we've put in over
• 22:17
  Speaker 17: the last five plus years to make this adjustment in
• 22:21
  Speaker 17: the Bronx. We rarely make adjustments on the route unless
• 22:24
  Speaker 17: there's something pretty substantial that lies into it. So as
• 22:27
  Speaker 17: I mentioned before, with all of the change and development
• 22:29
  Speaker 17: in our city, What we started to see in the
• 22:31
  Speaker 17: Bronx neighborhoods were a lot of development there that did
• 22:35
  Speaker 17: not exist about 10 plus years ago. Supermarkets that are
• 22:39
  Speaker 17: being built and other community elements that are there that
• 22:43
  Speaker 17: we needed to look at closely and say, hey, how
• 22:45
  Speaker 17: do we change the course, make the route better? but
• 22:48
  Speaker 17: also help the neighborhood out a little bit here. And
• 22:51
  Speaker 17: that's exactly what we did. The section that we have
• 22:53
  Speaker 17: in the Bronx right now is beautiful. It still has
• 22:57
  Speaker 17: the runners going over the Willis Avenue Bridge, making the
• 23:00
  Speaker 17: turn on 131st Street and another turn on Alexander Avenue,
• 23:03
  Speaker 17: which is remaining the same. But instead of making another turn,
• 23:06
  Speaker 17: the runners go straight up to 141st Street. They're making
• 23:09
  Speaker 17: immediate turn onto 3rd Avenue and then making their way
• 23:11
  Speaker 17: over to Madison Avenue Bridge. So it takes some turns off,
• 23:14
  Speaker 17: makes it a little bit faster for the runners, gets
• 23:16
  Speaker 17: to see some really beautiful sections of that neighborhood and
• 23:19
  Speaker 17: that community. And, you know, a little bit of a
• 23:22
  Speaker 17: fuss up for 50 years. So it's kind of, you know,
• 23:24
  Speaker 17: it's like changing an outfit or getting a haircut.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Now, I know that's, well, it's a little bit harder
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: than that, I'll tell you that. I know that accessibility
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: is extremely important to the TCS New York City Marathon,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: and now you have a new category for para-athletes. Tell
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: us about it.
• 23:44
  Speaker 17: Yes, we are piloting a para-athlete division. So we've always
• 23:48
  Speaker 17: had an athletes with disability para program, but not to
• 23:53
  Speaker 17: the scale that we have right now on the competitive side.
• 23:56
  Speaker 17: We do have competitive wheelchair athletes, professional athletes that are
• 24:00
  Speaker 17: incredible and they have participated in all of the Apple
• 24:03
  Speaker 17: World Marathon majors, and many of them have won.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Year over year.
• 24:07
  Speaker 17: But for your non-professional athletes, having this para category allows
• 24:13
  Speaker 17: these athletes to now trap themselves and compare themselves to
• 24:17
  Speaker 17: other athletes with similar disabilities.
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: And you also are expanding your sustainability efforts as well
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: because you have a partnership with Culligan International. Tell us
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 24:31
  Speaker 17: So like many things, it's planting a seed that we
• 24:34
  Speaker 17: watch grow year over year. So coming out of the
• 24:36
  Speaker 17: 2020-2021 marathon. So 2020, the marathon was canceled due to
• 24:39
  Speaker 17: the pandemic. 2021, we brought the marathon back. And we
• 24:44
  Speaker 17: wanted to make some modifications and changes, one of which
• 24:47
  Speaker 17: was really amplifying that athletes can bring their own hydration
• 24:51
  Speaker 17: tools with them.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: These athletes can refill.
• 24:53
  Speaker 17: Their bottles, so they didn't need to use any of
• 24:55
  Speaker 17: the cups along the course if they so choose. We've
• 24:58
  Speaker 17: continued to enhance that program now with bottle refill stations
• 25:03
  Speaker 17: partnered with Culligan are almost like a NASCAR pull-in station
• 25:07
  Speaker 17: for these runners. I've actually participated in an event that
• 25:11
  Speaker 17: had them and it was fantastic. You slide right into
• 25:13
  Speaker 17: this section, you grab your bottle, you refill and you're gone.
• 25:16
  Speaker 17: You're back at it again. Having this sustainability component has
• 25:19
  Speaker 17: been tremendous. So I have to give a shout out
• 25:22
  Speaker 17: to our accessibility team for the amazing work that they've
• 25:24
  Speaker 17: done to continue to make the TCX New City Marathon,
• 25:27
  Speaker 17: the most accessible event in the world, and our sustainability
• 25:30
  Speaker 17: team that is tracking us to being the most sustainable
• 25:33
  Speaker 17: marathon in the world.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Ted, I've talked to you a
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: couple of times and I can't believe your energy. You
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: are so full of energy and I know you're working
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: around the clock. What happens on November 2nd? Do you
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: just pass out?
• 25:47
  Speaker 17: No, quite the contrary, Larry. Like, I appreciate that. You know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 17: I was saying the energy you give is the energy
• 25:52
  Speaker 17: you receive. And then on November 2nd, I'm still working.
• 25:57
  Speaker 17: We have a elite athletes program that we do. They're
• 26:00
  Speaker 17: their media session. We hang out with them. And then
• 26:02
  Speaker 17: I'm checking in on the team. I'm going to the
• 26:04
  Speaker 17: start line in Staten Island to check in on the team.
• 26:06
  Speaker 17: I'm at the finish line with the team there. I'm
• 26:08
  Speaker 17: making sure that folks are taken care of. I'm following
• 26:10
  Speaker 17: up with our city agency partners.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: So the week goes on.
• 26:13
  Speaker 17: It's not until Friday that I'm able to take a
• 26:16
  Speaker 17: little bit of a break and take that weekend off
• 26:18
  Speaker 17: like the rest of the team, rest, recover, and start
• 26:21
  Speaker 17: planning for 2027. They're lucky to have you.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Ted Metellus, New York Roadrunners Chief Event Production Officer and
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Race Director of the TCS New York City Marathon. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: know you hopped out of a car to talk to us,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: so thank you so much. And I know you've got
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: to start running again. That's it. I'm on the move.
• 26:44
  Speaker 17: So on my way to the finish line.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: We're back out to Natalie Migliore right at the finish line.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: of the New York City Marathon, laying the blue line.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: I was out there earlier this morning on my way
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: here to 710WOR, the IHAR, IHAR Confab.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: It was crowded. What's it like out there now, Natalie?
• 27:09
  Speaker 14: Yeah, it's still crowded.
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: People running by, and now that there's a mob of
• 27:13
  Speaker 10: press by where this line is going to be painted,
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: the start of the blue line that runs the whole
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: 26.2-mile course, Of course, runners who are planning to run
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: the marathon are stopping and taking pictures of it because
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: they now realize the significance of where it is. But
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: it is truly bustling. The course is set. We've got
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: bleachers here in Central Park. We just had an NYPD briefing.
• 27:34
  Speaker 10: Now they're going to start painting the blue line and
• 27:36
  Speaker 10: DOT will drag it all the way through the five
• 27:38
  Speaker 10: borough course.
• 27:40
  Speaker 14: But it's pretty lively here.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: We've got energy up in here. Yeah, Natalie is going
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to be along the route during our live broadcast on Sunday.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: But then she has a relative running in the race.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: So like every other family that cheers their people on,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: she now has to run to the finish line. How
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: much time do you have from when that ends to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: when you need to be at the finish line? My
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: brother-in-law is a very, very fast runner.
• 28:11
  Speaker 10: He says no because he knows now he has to
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: pace himself for 26.2 miles.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: But it's going to be quite a scare.
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: I better hope that I get somebody, that I catch
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: the right subway train and get up here in time.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: But I should have enough time. It's all in the timing.
• 28:29
  Speaker 10: It's all a game with the subways because we all
• 28:32
  Speaker 10: know that the cars and everything are that you can't
• 28:35
  Speaker 10: you can't get around the city like that.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, before they had cameras along the pathway
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: to victory. to make sure you were in the race,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: there was a woman named Rosie Ruiz.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Who started at the beginning, then jumped into the subway,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: then showed up, you know, just like two miles out.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: And everybody said, oh, wow. And she did the same
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: thing in the Boston Marathon. And that's where she got
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: cold busted.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Well, I can't wait to talk to you tomorrow. I'm sorry.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Natalie. What were you going to say?
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: No, it's genius.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: It's good for me.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I don't run like that.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Guy, so it's all good. Well, we'll see you running
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Can't wait to work with you then
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: and see you again tomorrow here on the air. I'll
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: tell you, Curtis, one of the moments in the marathon
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: that is the most heartwarming is not the people in
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: the race, but all the people that are along the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: race that then have to run to the finish line
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: to be there for their loved one. They want to
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: show them support on the sidelines. Then they get and
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: they are running. When you're leaving, when we leave, there's
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: people running there to make sure they're there at the
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: ending for their loved one.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 29:45
  Speaker 13: You know, so you can't go to the exact finish
• 29:47
  Speaker 13: line if you're planning on doing that, but you can
• 29:50
  Speaker 13: get super close. The entrance into.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: The park is great. It gets electric there.
• 29:57
  Speaker 13: Even though there's still a little bit more to run,
• 29:59
  Speaker 13: it's They know they're almost there.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, they know where to go. They know where to go.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: But it's amazing. Energy there is great. With their signs
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: and everything.
• 30:07
