Hour 1: NY State Radio Award · Curtis Sliwa & Larry Mendte In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Styling and profiling today. You know, normally, Larry and Natalie,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: when I join you in studio here, it's part of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the I Heart Confab. I'm either wearing the red sateen
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: jacket or occasionally my blue sateen jacket that says the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: People's Mayor.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You know, with my name on it, you know, obviously
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: very narcissistic.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: You are always dressed in character.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Definitely. And always the red beret.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: But can you describe, both Larry and Natalie, the accoutrements
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that now are part of my fashionista look today?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll just say that when I first saw you,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I thought, well, he's either going to a wedding or
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: he's going to a funeral. That's what I thought. But
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: then I thought, well, maybe you actually wear the guardian
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: angel stuffs to weddings and funerals, so maybe it's not that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You're correct.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, see? So then I'm thinking, well, maybe it's not that.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Is he trying.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Well, then you'd have to take the beret off to
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: sneak into somewhere.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Which I did remember in the two debates. Remember how
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: people said, you take that beret off, I'll vote for you.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Less people voted for me in 2025 than 2021.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Curtis, you were on with Larry one morning and we
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: had a talkback that said that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: We had several talkbacks.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, and we mentioned that to you and then we
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: felt bad that you did it. We're like, oh no.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I did it because I figured, look, I wore
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the beret against Eric Adams all the time. All these
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: people are saying, I would have voted for you if
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you took the red beret off. Yeah. Guess what? I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: got two-thirds less votes this time around. Yeah, that really works.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: What's funny is all those talkback people were convinced if
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you just took the beret off. And then in the debates,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: they went, oh, maybe not.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And maybe not. But the reason that I'm styling
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and profiling today, as you know.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Full suit. Nice suit, by the way.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you. It is a big day for all the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: animal welfare people who have dedicated their lives to ending
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the horse carriage industry and sending the horses out to pasture.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: There is a bill that will do that today that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: will be debated and voted on in the city council.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But it's a fait accompli. You don't. enter a bill
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: on the floor if you're the speaker, as Julie Menon is,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: without having the votes. But they have a big rally
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: at 12 noon in City Hall Park. Was never invited. Now,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I don't expect to speak, but, you know, we'd like
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge Curtis because He and his wife were in
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the forefront of this. Thank you very much. Yeah. Having
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: been invited to be up in the peanut gallery, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: where obviously people are forced to sit and they're not
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: able to boo or applaud. You know, they have to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: do one of those. That's not right. And I'm saying
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to myself, wow. So maybe if I just come in
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a suit and tie with the berets. like I did
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in the campaign, they're not going to be able to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: come up with an excuse. Well, you're not the people's mayor.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That's an insult to John Mondami, who's in City Hall.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So I figured I'm going to eliminate all possibilities of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: why they might keep me out for that historic vote.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I'm a little disappointed because I put out a public
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: plea yesterday to Vicky Palladino, who is going to be
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: at that rally to invite you. And I know she listens.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: So I'll do it one more time. Vicki, it is
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: a wrong. It's a wrong that can easily be righted.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And all you need to do is call Curtis, call
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: the station and let us know. Yeah, no, please come.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: We'll acknowledge you because it really is a slight and
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: it's a big oversight on your part.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Well, they can be fixed easily. She stood with the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: horse carriage owners yesterday in city hall. They're going to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: apparently go for a temporary restraining order, but The one
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: person who's no longer in council who would have done
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: this is Robert Holden.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: He is a true believer.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That's why I was able to speak at that city
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: council chamber. In fact, Natalie, you got to repost that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: When I hit the two-minute mark and they yanked the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: microphone right from me because the chairwoman, Lynn Shulman, the councilwoman...
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: who hates me and actually hates the animal welfare people,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: but was forced to do it by Julian Mennon, yanked
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the microphone, and everybody went crazy and all, and started applauding, oh,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: throw you all out. No, you won't, lady. So I'm
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: going to come in, suit and tie, and see if
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: they try to keep me out of the rally or
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: keep me out of the historic vote, and we'll be
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: here tomorrow. Remember the guy who pioneered this? They never
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: mentioned his name, our own Barry Gray, who invented talk
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: radio here at WOR, was the first to take on
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: that issue. But it's not horses. It's not the Wild West,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, where a guy would be riding along and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you know, pull out a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: six shooter and start shooting at another guy in a horse.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: What a road rage incident on the George Washington Bridge,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: at least the upper level entrance from the Manhattan side.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: We're getting all the details, man. And I know a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: lot of our listeners out there, Larry, because you're in
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: their cars now listening. have probably experienced a road rage
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: incident or felt that, man, my life is in jeopardy.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I've really pushed this a little too far.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Here, I'm shocked. I actually looked up the statistics
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: on road rage. 96% of drivers have witnessed or been
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: engaged in road rage. 89% report being a victim of
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: an aggressive driver. 37% of aggressive driving and road rage
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: incidents involve a firearm. 37%. That is scary. Leading to
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: 116 road rage related deaths in a single year across
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the country. And there's, go ahead.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, I was telling you earlier,
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: that is one of my biggest fears is that if I,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: you know, cut somebody off by accident.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, it happens, right?
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: You know, you don't realize you did something and then
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the person starts going nuts and then you start waving
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: your hand. That somebody would have a weapon and just
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: do exactly what we saw that.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Happened on the GWB.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Or try to run you off the road.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: There's a million things.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: That they can do.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: They chase you.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, everybody's seen that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: No, I've had that. I've had that happen. You know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I'm on the turnpike every single day and I've seen
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: it every single day. Especially the people that pull up
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: like inches from you and back of you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: And then you could see them, you know, window to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: window and they're staring at you and they're pointing at you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Here's some tips on what to do in those situations.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Avoid eye contact, which I always look right at the people.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Returning rude hand gestures, which you just said you did.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a rude hand gesture, but.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: You waved them off.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Or yelling back, create space, safely slow down, change lanes,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: or let the aggressive driver pass. Do not go home
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: if they're following you.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's good advice.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Drive to the nearest police station or a well-lit public
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: space instead of heading home and then call 911. The
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: last one is one that I'm embarrassed about. It says
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: consider a dash cam so you can record the whole thing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: The reason I'm embarrassed about it is because my daughter
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: gave me one for Christmas and I never installed it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, really?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and she's very insulted by that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never thought about having that, but it's probably
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: a good idea.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to put it up.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: You don't want to do that because it records all
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: your conversations, as we saw with the two terrorist kids
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: from Bucks County on their way to throw those bombs
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: outside of Gracie Mansion, remember? Their entire conversation was recorded
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: by the dash cam, unbeknownst to them. They're guilty. They're
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: going away forever.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: But.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Let me make mention, there was a great episode with
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Larry David. He's in the car, and apparently he cut
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: off a biker. And the biker comes up on his side,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and then Larry David reaches over, puts on the MAGA
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: cap as the biker is screaming and yelling at him.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And then the biker goes, oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: thumbs up. One of the great episodes. Smart. But let's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: give the details of what happened. A retired NYP narcotics detective.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: He retired in 2001 after getting into a shootout with
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: three gunmen while he was off duty at his family's
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: laundromat in Brooklyn. He got hit in the chest. He
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: got hit in the hand. Victor Romero. And then he
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: had to take a disability pension. So he was out
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of the department for 2001. But he became a driver.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: They call it executive protection, corporate security. Lives in Havistraw,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: New York, in Rockland. He's assigned to protect and drive
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: around executives. So you would think the guy's cool, calm,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and collected. Well, not on this occasion. As he was
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: going up, you know, a lot of people listening right now.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: He's on the Manhattan side. He's going up to the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: upper deck. A lot of times, you know, the traffic conflates.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It goes lower deck, upper deck. And then there's that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: way you can actually go towards the Cross Bronx Expressway,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: which at times you see people like really starting to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: argue with one another. And there was another guy, Corin Irvine,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: who had grown up in Flatbush, worked for Con Ed.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: He was in a Volkswagen dark blue hatchback. And apparently
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: some kind of road rage incident occurred at that location
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: before they even got onto the bridge. And this poor guy, Corin,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: A bullet came to the back windshield that they attribute
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to the former detective, the guy named Victor Romero. He
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: gets shot in the shoulder. You could survive that. But
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the bullet then goes right into his head. Oh, geez.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And then he crashes halfway across the bridge because he's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: trying to drive across the bridge. Because where are you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: going to stop on the bridge? Crashes into the pole.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They take him to Englewood Hospital. And unfortunately, he died.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: But a road rage incident happened. Like so many others.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: That's why Nancy oftentimes will yell at me. Well, you drive.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Because when she's behind the wheel, God forbid she thinks
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: she was cut off. She starts beeping the horn, speeding up.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: She wants to go side by. side and start giving
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the finger. Oh, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Nancy,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: would you please calm down? I'll give you some Prozac.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Don't make an incident out of this.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: If my wife's exactly the opposite, she's the one that
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: causes road rage all the time. And she's not sure
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: why she doesn't know what she's doing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: She like Mr. Magoo. It is.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: It's exactly the case. I'll talk to her on the phone.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: There's some guy that's really upset with me. He's pulled
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: up next to me. He's yelling out of his window.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure what I did. And I said, well,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: just ignore them. Just don't look at them. No, I said,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I don't even know what I did. I just,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: I mouthed, I'm sorry. But this, every time I talk
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: to her, there's one of these people.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, beeping the horn, speeding up, or giving the finger.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the universal language, F-U. You might set
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: it off right there. Or what the hell are you doing?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: The hands go up.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Put your hands on the wheel.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: So listen, I'm sure everybody out there has dealt with
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: a road rage incident of some kind. So you can
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: go to the iHeartRadio app, leave us a talkback. You
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: could win a Curtis Lee and Larry Mendte in the
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: morning t-shirt. That's going to be awarded every day to
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: our favorite talkback of the morning. While you're there, set a...
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Set while you're on the free iHeartRadio app. Set a
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: preset for 710WOR. And don't forget, the best talk back
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: of the week takes home a C-Crane radio.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Up next. Oh, yeah, Natalie. Where were you at the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Harry Styles concert in Madison Square Garden? Well, guess who
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: was there? The Mr.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Nick.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: That's why they probably lost the game. We'll get into that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And the ring that you need an 18-wheel tractor trailer
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to carry around. The Nick Championship ring that Natalie is
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: continuing to talk about. Plus a chance to see Journey
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: at 825. You know what my theory is, Larry, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I've said it over and over. That the world champion
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks will not go on to defend their
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: championship because all of the distractions. They're being invited everywhere.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, a bar mitzvah, you know, wedding, you know,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the agent gets a fee, they get a fee. But
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the other night, who did I see there in the crowd?
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Not Natalie, who's like the number one groupie of Harry
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Styles in his residential appearances in Madison Square Garden. But Mr.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: MVP of the Knicks. What the hell is he doing
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: at a concert when he should be resting his tired legs?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: As his coach Mike Brown said, you know, our starting five,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they look like their legs were stuck in mud as
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the sixes were running up and down on our starting
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: five and pushing them right into the ground. Hey, Natalie,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: where were you? There were all women and one man, Brunson.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: It was actually the week after, I believe, I went.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: But Curtis, it was like 10 days before.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: But was he.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Supposed to be resting and not moving for 10 days?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I am telling you, these guys, and not even just
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the starting five, but the scrubs that you can't even
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: pronounce their names, are being asked to go to all
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: different kinds of places. That begins to wear on your body.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: James Harden went to the clubs and got drunk every
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: night until 6 in the morning, and he won the
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: league's MVP.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: How do you do for the Cavaliers in this last go-round?
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Now he's like 80.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Let me make mention of the more important issue, which
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: is Natalie's fascination at these World Championship New York Knick rings.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with that ring. I really am.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: That is some piece of hardware.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: It's incredible.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: And how much is it worth?
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Well, there was one jeweler that estimated, you know, doesn't
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: have the ring in his hand or anything. It was
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: a quarter of a million dollars per ring.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Quarter of a million dollars on their finger.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And it's a fold-out. It's like the new phones, you know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: fold-out phone, right?
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Yes, exactly. It's like a flip phone.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: So because it raises up to make it look like the,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: you know, Madison Square Garden, you can twist off the
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: top and you can see inside the court.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: It opens up. It just opens up. Remember the old
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: decoder rings you used to get? What do they call it?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Cracker Jacks.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Cracker Jack boxes.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Cracker Jack boxes. That's what it's like. It opens up.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: But it has diamonds and sapphires. That is one incredible ring.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: It has the court from Madison Square Garden with the
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: baskets and the crowd.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: And Harry Styles right in the middle.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think they're missing Harry Styles. You are Harry
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Styles obsessed.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, I am. Let me make a prediction. And this
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: won't happen with Jalen Brunson, you know, the stars. They'll
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: have bodyguards with them wherever they go, especially when they
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: go to a club. But some of the scrubs, they're
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: going to want to impress the ladies. They're going to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: wear their world championship ring, and some of the homies
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: inside are going to get on their cell and say, man,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: when he comes out, they're going to see he's got
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: no security. Let's jack him up. And this has happened before. Really?
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: I hope they don't go out in it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: For them, they don't wear that ring when they go
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to the club, because by the time they get out,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: they may be minus the ring.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: And I know I'm Harry Styles obsessed, but there was
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: a story this morning that's just popping up that TMZ
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: got a video of Harry. It must have just been
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: this week. yelling or it looks like he was in
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: a confrontation with somebody. So apparently, a guy came up
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: to him and wanted him to sign an album. And
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: it looks like he wouldn't sign it because... a lot
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: of these people go out there and do that to
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: resell it. And, you know, he probably didn't want to
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: do it because then his fans are going to be
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: paying a ridiculous amount of money for something. And it
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: was an interesting, you're going to be seeing that video
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: around a lot.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Did he get into a fight, though? Did he actually?
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, pointing, face-to-face, like, pointing. But it did look like
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: he had security with him.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: We should do a Harry Styles segment that you do
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: every day.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: I could do that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I know you'd be into it, too. Like 30 seconds
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: on Harry Styles.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Natalie, can I ask you a question? You were born
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and raised in Staten Island, Staten, Italy. You ended up
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: like most people going over the outer bridge crossing. You
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: live in New Jersey. What is it about this guy
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: who's like, I don't even know what his sexuality is
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: when you look at Harry Styles.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I know we have a talk back to get to,
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: but I've said it before. My daughter was a huge
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: One Direction fan as a young child. And, you know,
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: she couldn't go to concerts alone. So I went with her.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: So it's just something the two of us have together.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: You're a groupie.
• 16:32

• 19:48
  Speaker 1: this is going to be all about you, Lisa. up next.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Larry and Natalie, I've been given clearance by the greatest
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: program director of all time, Tom Cuddy, for years, FM,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: and now at the head of 710WOR, the most listened
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: to station, talk radio station in New York. Well, We've
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: gotten the Nielsen numbers. This is what we live and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: die by. And we can thank our listeners, Larry and Natalie,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: because Nielsen has reported our September ratings, along with Mark Simone,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: you know, does 9 to 10. And we had an
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: incredible ratings growth in the important demos. So from 6
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: in the morning when we wake our listeners up, Larry
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and Curtis, To Mark Simone, who takes you to 12 noon.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Incredible growth. And it's all due to our listeners out there. So,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: you know, Tom said we should take this moment to
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: thank the many who are tried and true WR listeners.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Remember when Natalie first came on years ago as the
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: producer for the grandfather gambling and then the father and
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: then John himself. She's been an institution here.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: How old are you?
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I come in. It's amazing. I'm Collecting Social Security.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: It's amazing you're alive.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: I know. 1922 it all started.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: But with the tried and true WOR listeners loyal to 710,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and then there are a lot of refugees from where
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I used to be, WABC, which is now standing for
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: not always broadcasting Curtis like it did for 35 years,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: but always blaming Curtis, bashing Curtis, and promoting a guy
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: who considers himself the greatest of all time in talk radio,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Sid Rosenberg. So if you happen to see the thread,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the feed, he's talking on and on. He has people
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: doing endorsements of him winning the New York State Broadcasters
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame with so many others and some that
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: he won't even acknowledge, which I'll take a moment to.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: But every day, You know, it's BB, it's the president,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: it's any random person on the street. Please do me
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a video praising me. The guy is just neurotic and insecure.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's so obvious. And I just want to
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: point out here that we don't bust our buttons and
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: bridges with pride. I'm working with one of the greatest
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: news broadcasters of all time who did talk radio here
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: at 710WOR for many, many years. Larry Mendte. Larry, just
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: how many Emmys have you won?
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: 97.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: And you've even won more prestigious awards in business, right? Yeah, yeah.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: I did a documentary that won the Paley Center's first award,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and it was shown there for a year. That was
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: the award. They would show your documentary on Alex's Lemonade
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Stand and Murrow Awards. Yeah, I've won a lot of
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: national awards, too.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: The Paley Center, right?
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here in New York.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: You know, in 2013... I was the honoree of the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: New York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame at the Paley Center.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow, yeah.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: You know what's the funny thing? I've never been. Like,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: they were showing my documentary, and I never made it
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: up to see it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Larry, you should.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I will. I will.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It is great, and I want to applaud the New
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: York State Broadcasters Hall of Fame for doing that. And
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you know who was my co-winner that year? Because he's
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: in the news today. funk master Flex of Hot 97
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: who really brought rap to mainstream stations, Hot 97. Just
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to give you an idea, I used to say, oh,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Hot 97, more drive-bys, more gang bangings, more drug dealing,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: more terror in the streets. He took offense to that,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: as you would.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Yes. You didn't mean it offensively?
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Of course I meant it offensively.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: 1992.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So when he got his award, he was on one
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: side of the Paley Center. I was on the other side.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: They kept us separate because it was like two scorpions
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: in a brandy glass. But he's in the news because
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: he was at the opening. And then it came, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Funkmaster Flex in the rap community is considered like the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: godfather of rap on radio. He sees his partner for
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: so many years on the other side of the room
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: with his wife, he darts across the room, and they
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: start fighting with one another. It just gives you an idea.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: So the reason I bring this up is that we
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: are in line now, as Tom Cuddy has said, better together.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: We are, when he put us together. The National Radio
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. which next will be in 2027. Better together.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Whereas Sid Rosenberg, you know, the I and me guy,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Israel first, Jews versus Muslims, and you know, Zoran is
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a terrorist. I mean, that's his whole show. He's touting
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: the fact that he's won this award. Meantime, if His
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: great partner, Bernard McGurk, who was a true radio guy
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: with Imus.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: And a great guy. Just a nice man.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Super. Yeah. If he was able to survive, unfortunately, prostate
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: cancer took him out. They were better together. When they
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: were together, it was a balanced show. It's no longer balanced.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: And he would have won this award with Bernard much earlier.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: So he gets to first base. You would think this
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: was the greatest thing. He's winning the Academy Award. He's
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: got to lobby him for it. And we're at third
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: base looking to hit home plate with the National Radio
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: And I also just want to give props, because he
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: never does, to other people out there who work this craft.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: They're two guys who are also partners up in Great Falls,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: New York. Dan Miner and Pete Clowder, they do the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: morning show, and they are getting an award. He never
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: mentions them. And you know, in a smaller market, you
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: really got to work hard.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: There must be something going on with him, because as
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: you mentioned, I've won a lot of awards, and I...
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: never talk about them because I don't think they define
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: what I do. The work defines what you do. The
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: work defines it. And I'm prouder that with those awards
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: that I paid for the entry fees so that others
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: were recognized because it's never just one person. It's not Sid.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: It's not even, even if he were to win, it's
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: not just him. There are a lot of people that
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: help you.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and also Bill Ritter, who unfortunately had to leave
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Eyewitness News. You knew as a colleague there.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, sure, yeah.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Because he has that first throes of dementia. Rosanna Scotto
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: of Channel 5, who just lost her wonderful mother, and
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of others. So, okay, Sid, you know,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it's like I and me, you're not the greatest of
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: all time. So you finally got to first base. We'll
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: wave to you from third base because me and you, Larry,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: bedded together. We're on our way into the National Radio
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame in 2027. And that's due to who? You,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: the listeners. Let me just say it quickly again. I
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: want to thank all of our listeners out there. Nielsen
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: has reported our September ratings. along with Mark Simone. So
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: from 6 to 12, we had incredible ratings growth in
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the important demos. Where do you think we got a
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: lot of those new listeners from?
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure, from over there.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: From WABC!
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, of course.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: So thank you all. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Up next, you play the greatest political radio ad I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: have ever heard. We were laughing yesterday. Susan Collins could
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: not run to a bank of cameras fast enough to
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: denounce it even though it was put out by the
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: RNC up next. Wow, this, without a doubt, yesterday, Larry,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: you were so right. You nailed it out of all
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: the radio ads I've listened to involving political campaigns, and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: it's been incredible numbers. You played a campaign ad put
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: out by a PAC on behalf of Susan Collins. That
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: made us laugh. That was memorable. I'm still humming that
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: tune in my head that that means it's really good.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: You can't get it out of your head. Yeah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: And to set it up a little bit, it's against
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Troy Jackson, the person that's running for the Democratic Party
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: in a neck and neck race up there, or at
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: least the polls say it's a neck and neck race. Um,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: but Troy Jackson, it is true. He, he did marry
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: his second cousin and that's what the ad talks about,
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: but it does it in a way that just sticks
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: in your head. All right. That's just the first 30 seconds.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Am I allowed to play the second part? Can I
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: play this? Are we okay? Is everybody okay? Everything's been
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: beeped out.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, outstanding, five-star top shelf. You know, I would give
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: it a Marconi Award for the greatest radio political ad
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: of all time. I still have that. song in my head.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: That shows you it's lasting.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: How many people in Maine are walking around going, Troy
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Jackson's a freak?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: He just stays with you. Married his second cousin. Like
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, you know, for some Italians, Rudy Giuliani
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: married his second cousin. But the point is, he nailed,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: they nailed him. And Susan Collins couldn't find a bank
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: of microphones and TV cameras fast enough to denounce it,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: disparage it, try to distance herself from it. Larry, you
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: know how politics works with these PACs. They always say, oh,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the PACs have no involvement with the campaign. Are you kidding?
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I would imagine just because
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: of the legacy of Susan Collins and the way she's been,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: she is maybe the prudish person in the Senate. I
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: think if she heard it, she wouldn't allow that to
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: go through. I really do believe that. So I'm buying
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: what she says. I don't think that would have happened
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: with her. Okay. But if it did happen with her, okay,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: she's a genius because this way you get the best
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: of both worlds. You get to play it and everybody's
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: going to be singing it and they're going to, that's
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: going to be stuck in their head when they go
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: to the voting booths. And she gets to distance herself
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: from it.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Just to give you an idea how these PACs work,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: because I saw it in my own campaign for mayor
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: against Zoran. He had PACs, but nowhere near as much
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: as Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo. Andrew Evil Eyes Cuomo had
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a PAC, and you're not supposed to have anything to
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: do with the PAC, right? No conversations, no above. His
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: best friend, a guy named Steve Cohen, was running it.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Not the owner of the Mets, Steve Cohen. His best friend. Now,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you're telling me they're not having conversations or wink, nod,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you know. And there were some real disparaging ads that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: came out of the pack. They ended up with about
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: $ 100 million in pack money alone. $ 20 million that was
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: used on me from Bloomberg, you know. A vote for
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Sliwa is a vote for Mondami, vote for Cuomo. But
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I got it. There is no way that Susan Collins...
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: Didn't hear through the grapevine, the RNC grapevine. Wait till
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: you hear. And naturally, she would inquire, well, what is
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: it about? And then, naturally, she has to run to
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: the cameras, distance herself. I would never be involved with
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: anything that disparaging. But look.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Because she also comes off looking more moderate too, which
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: is what she runs on all the time. And that's
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: why she wins all the time.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: And the other thing is they insert that thing that's
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: going to hurt Jackson if he loses, where he told
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: her in the last debate, they had five in nine days,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: a total of six. Remember when he turned to her
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: when somebody in the audience interfered, when somebody in the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: audience interfered, remember was yelling? And, you know, right away,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Susan Collins said, oh, that's probably a Taylor Jackson supporter.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: And he goes, shut up. Shut up, Susan.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: That hurt him.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, it hurt him bad. I remember saying that to
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: my wife, playing it for her.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I said, come here.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Listen to this. Listen to this. And I played it
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: for her. And she went, oh, my God, you never
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: say that to a woman ever. She goes, I hate him.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I hate him. And I don't really care about that
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: race at all. So could you imagine how many women
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: turned on him? Absolutely.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: And this ad, this radio ad with that great music soundtrack,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: just solidifies that more and then talks about, you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: basically he's a three-eyed cousin fornicator, you know, having sex
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: with his second cousin and having kids as a result
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: of it. I love it. I love it. Look, politics
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: is the dirtiest business. I don't care who's involved. You
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: feel soiled that you need to take a hot shower
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: every day. You cannot believe how dirty it is. And
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: only the strong survive.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and political ads, to show you how dirty it is,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: have different rules with the FCC. Like, you can't claim
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: certain things about a product, but you can about your opponent.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: And the FCC is fine with that. But who writes
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: the rules for the FCC? Politicians or people picked by politicians.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: So they can lie all they want in these political ads.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: And that really is actually important for you to know
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: as well, because they're lying without any punishment.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: But this one was so entertaining.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: It was so good. But that was all true. Everything
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: there was true.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: But up next, oh, the dean of the White House
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: press corps, our own John Decker up next. A lot
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: of developments in the Trump White House internationally, nationally. And he's,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: you know, he's out on the campaign trail, South Carolina,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: last night. All of that after the 7 o'clock news.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
