• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Well, Jimmy, failure.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: You go to sleep with Jimmy at night, 9 to
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: 12 here at 710WOR. And you wake up with me
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: and Larry in the morning at 6. Yeah. Hey, Jimmy,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I noticed you weren't at the U.S. Open there where
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: they were blazing away so much that Maui Waui and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Hindu Kush, they had a stop play on center court
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: because of the Purple Haze.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm assuming this was her first time in New
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: York because I've never walked a foot. The other day
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: a cop stopped me in Times Square. He's like, are
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: you smoking marijuana, sir?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, no. He's like, well, here you go then.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And he just handed me a joint.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I love the idea of her trying to make this
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: a playable space, but you're not going to survive in
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: New York if you can't take on the weed. That's
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the sad reality of what we've become.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: How strong must that weed have been for it to
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: float over the court?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: We're in Flushing, Queens. So for that weed to drown
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: out the pee.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Just that alone... Just that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Alone, from all the Mets fans who get off at
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: that subway platform, you know what I'm talking about.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's the world's largest outdoor urinal. Willits Point. She should
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: actually be thankful for that weed.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly. But now, in addition to the weed, people doing
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: puff-puff pass in the high-end seats.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Then, of course, there were the honey deuces for $ 23.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: That's the cocktail with three honeydew melon balls in it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It ain't the nutcrackers that you're used to, Jimmy, at
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Robert Moses State Park.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I will tell you where I started. Because we
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: used to– you remember Bug Juice? Did anybody drink Bug
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Juice when they went to the beach? It was essentially
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: an Arnold Palmer. It was lemonade and it was iced tea.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And you threw it in a Tupperware pitcher.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: And as you got a little older, you realized, like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Grandpa was slurring his speech a lot from the bug
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: juice because they would spike it with vodka or something
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Bug juice. We called it bug juice. I don't know
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: where it got its name from. I think a lot
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of people drank it as an Arnold Palmer. Okay.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: But the honey juice is just, you know, for people
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: who like bug juice but want to spend $ 58 instead
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: of the $ 3 we spent because they're expensive.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, what we did was you bring a watermelon in,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: you make a hole at the top, you put a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: pint of vodka in, it saturates in the watermelon.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So this way.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: The park ranger can't come around and.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Say you had booze on the beach. But boy, you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: love that watermelon. Oh, you were a mess.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: I think it's funny that they're not going to ban
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: the weed.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: No.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: But they are going to ban the influencers. The influencers
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: can't go anymore because apparently they've just been a nuisance.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Because that's the thing. The smell of weed is baked
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: into the cake at this point. We've all made peace
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: with the fact that this is just our life now.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: The influencer is still a new thing, relatively, in the
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: last four or five years. That's just popped up, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I think it's one of those universal things we all
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: agree is kind of annoying.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Is that a fair way to put it? It's just annoying.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: In a confined.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Space with a whole lot of them? Are you kidding me?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Dude, I was in Jackson Hole with Jenny Fela over
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the weekend, which again.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Wyoming, amazing. Jackson Hole was all the masters of the universe.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Elon Musk and company.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Come on, let's be clear, okay?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Where I rank on the totem pole at Fox News,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: it was like Jermaine Jackson Hole, okay? It was like,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: come on. I was a Tito Jackson Hole. Okay, it
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: wasn't fancy. But the point is, we were out there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: And you're in the wild. And there's like bison. And
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: there's like bears. And then there's like this gorgeous 19-year-old
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: filming a selfie video walking straight down the thruway where
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the bison are crossing the road. I have never rooted
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: harder for an animal to spontaneously kill somebody.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And that's not who I am.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: But influences have made me that guy, you know, because
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: everywhere you go now, you're you're actually a B actor
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: in somebody else's movie.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I root hard for that bison. Well, no, the.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: King and queen have demanded that no influences be at
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Wimbledon next year for their strawberries and cream. Keep the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: influences out.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, they want no influencers and no Meghan and Harry.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: It's like, nah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Have you heard about this serial nudist in Reddington Township,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: New Jersey? He's been doing this for years. He rides
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: his bike naked. He has his helmet on.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: But all the rest of them, no clothes.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I saw that.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: You saw that? They're trying to stop him. Do you
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: know anything?
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I know nothing, but I know the first guy who
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: called it in said he had a suspicious package.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Good night, everybody!
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Good night!
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I gotta go! All right!
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Okay! Sorry.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm wide awake.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's a crazy story, man. But it's one
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: of those other stories that, like, also gives you perspective.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Because if you remember, like, out on the West Coast,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I was in Portland. They do these nude bike rides.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: That's a known thing. You can look that up, where, like,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: 500 people ride their bikes nude through the community as
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: some form.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Of free expression.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: They do it in Philly?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: So that's the point. If anything, this guy was just
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: failed by his GPS. He is a victim of... of
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: bad wi-fi that's what.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He is now jimmy you are a frequent flyer because
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of all the locations you have to go to perform
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: your comedy uh with big audiences getting bigger and bigger
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: we thought with the spirit airline the rock'em sock'em fights
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: disputes racially charged incidences would sort of.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yes. We couldn't have been more hopelessly wrong.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You saw that real estate guy from Arizona.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He's in first class. Yeah, he is.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And he's deciding that he isn't like this black flight
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: attendant and he's dropping the N-bomb and other cusses. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he's fighting with the person next
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to him and a woman behind him.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And then these two guys get up from, of course, Coach.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Come up there from New Jersey.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And the flight attendant apparently has ties, plastic ties, and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: duct tape.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: And they totally tie the guy up and then duct
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: take him from his navel right up to his head,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to his seat, his first class seat. Yes. So that
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: he can't talk. He can't say anything. He can't disturb anybody.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Right out of the annals of the old spirit air life.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: But I think we're all missing the plot here. There's
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: a flight attendant who has a side job as a dominatrix.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: For her to be carrying that much tape and zip ties.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, what is she doing on the OnlyFans when
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that plane lands? That's what I want to know. But
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know what? He made his first mistake.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: You can't mouth off in first class because everybody in
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: coach hates you by default. So they've been flying coach
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: their whole lives waiting for a guy like this to
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: pop off. And I loved it. What surprised me is
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: you usually see the chaos on the budget airlines because
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: of the surprise charges. That's why spirit was always violent.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: The plane was. was your ticket was $ 89 to Detroit,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: but by the time you landed, you owed them $ 468
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: for your laptop. Have you ever really flown Spirit Airlines?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Where they're like, in the event of a change in
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: cabin pressure, swipe your MasterCard or Visa.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Pull down on the oxygen mask. Now, what do you mean?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: You got the two heroes from New Jersey. They own
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: and work at a gun shop. Do you know that
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: once they landed at BWI, Baltimore-Washington International Airport, and they
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: changed everything, cleaned it out, and then continued on to
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Newark International? They didn't even give them free drinks.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Nothing? Oh, come on.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, they know.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Well, that would be fair. They gave them no complimentary drinks.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They just basically said, thank you. That would be fair.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Drinks is what got them into this mess.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, listen, we'd love to hear from you. Go to
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: the iHeartRadio app and leave us a talkback for Jimmy Fallon.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Ask him anything you want. You could win a Curtis
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Lewin Larry Minty in the morning T-shirt. That's going to
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: be awarded to our favorite talkback of the morning. And
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: while you're there, go ahead and sign up and set
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: a preset for 710WOR. That was kind of a way
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: to change the tone a little bit. Okay. Because, you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: this is the 9-11 week. Do you have memories?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So many.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I was here and my brother was a
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: city cop. My brother Jerry was a city cop. And
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: he was one of those guys that was brave enough
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: on his day off to rush down there. And I
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: was brave enough to drive him to the train. He
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: went into Queens. I didn't really drive him directly to
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: the train. We drove him to where his sergeant turned
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: out of off the Clearview. And then they went into
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: the city from there. And he spent probably the next
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: six months out in Staten Island. They sent a lot
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: of guys to the dumps that were raking debris. You know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: he was at 9-11 day of. He was there by
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: about 11 a.m. But he spent the next six months
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: out there at the pile in Staten Island. My best
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: friend growing up at Division Avenue High School in Levittown,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Ray DeVito, is a Port Authority cop. He was about
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: a week into his career when it happened. And he
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: was there day of and spent basically the next 10
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: months down there at the pit. And thankfully, it's OK.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: He didn't get like any of those, you know, retroactive
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: cancers that we hear too much about, which is really
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: sad stuff. But what I loved about it as a
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: New Yorker is we got this crazy like 17 to
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: 20 day window of people actually driving around, letting you
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: merge in traffic, using their blinkers, putting American flags on
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: their antennas. By about October 1st, we were back to
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: giving each other the finger and throwing bottles of pee
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: at each other. But I'll never forget those 17 days
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: where it was so bizarre to drive around New York.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Everybody was friendly. Everybody was a Yankee fan.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, loving one another. Yeah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Looking for American flags that were made in red China. Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: They ran out of them at Walmart. But I'm glad
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: you brought up the fresh kills in landfill. Yes. Every
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: particuli of debris was loaded on barges in Hudson River. Yes.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: When it's loaded on the barges, all the toxic fumes
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: are going up in the air. And it's taking a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: fresh kick. It's laid out on the hill. And there
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: are men and women, I was there twice, in hazmat
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: suits with little rakes going through all the particuli looking
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: for any DNA that could clearly identify a casualty so
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: that the family could clearly say, okay, Now we can
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: rest in peace.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: That was really grim. My brother Joey was one of
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: those guys.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: He was out there in Staten Island almost five, six
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: nights a week because they didn't get a lot of
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: time off in that window in the initial phase. But
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: what you see in those horrible moments is you see
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: the best of humanity. There's no silver lining to something
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: like September 11th, but if you ever want to reinforce
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: your faith in How there's so many more good people
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: than bad people. Because we live in this era where
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: the squeaky wheels get the most grease. That's most of
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: what we cover in the media. And it has a
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: way of convincing you they're a majority. But they're not
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: a majority. You know, 9-11 is the proof that they're
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: outnumbered like 99 to 1. You know, we just didn't
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: have social media back then.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: That's really well said. It was the worst day, but
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: it was the best of humanity. Absolutely. When we come back,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: we are looking forward to your talkbacks for Jimmy Fallon.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Because we have more of Jimmy Fallon when we come back.
