Speaker 1 (00:06):
You don't need you don't need the headphones.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Excuse me, you don't phones? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Oh wow, we're it's gonna freestyle this without them.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
But I feel so comfortable with headphones. If you want
to wear it, why don't you fake me out?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
By all means, watch me answer questions that oh man, curtists.
We are happy to have you back.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hell of course, of course, of course.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So what we're doing now by popular demand, I must say,
and I want this to go to your head because
your hat won't fit if it gets bigger. People loved
you on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh man, I need some haters out there to be seen.
I saw the door outside, Diamond said, see the door
paradise awaits you. This is not like paradise. This is
like going into hell without an asbestos suit.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
With honey buns is like hell.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Honey buns but also too much estrogen. Oh between you,
Gandhi and you Diamond is estrogen everywhere in the room.
So I brought you gifts, okay from county jail. Lock up,
honey buns.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You brought us honey buns.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, and let me tell you I brought in over
four hundred of them yesterday because the vending machine here,
Hm just happened to be out of honey buns for weeks,
because that is my number one obsession, honey buns from
my time in jail, and it is like currency in
a county lockup, in a city jail, when you go
(01:44):
for your commissary, you get your honey buns, you get
your ramen noodles. And when you could smoke legally in jail,
your new portmantals hard box, not the soft box.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Let me ask you this, Kurt, Yes, how long ago
were you in jail?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I'm locked up eighty two times?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well how long? When was the last time?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh? I would say the last time It was about
two years ago?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Why really?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
What did you do two years ago?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Demonstrations? Man, I'm out there, mobilized, organized, you know, and
then all of a sudden the cop, the sergeant will say,
you know the positions, Lee would take the position. I said,
what's the problem, what's the charge? Sergeant? He says, my
problem with you is you inhale and you exhale. It'd
be a lot better in this world if all of
a sudden you couldn't inhale or excel get out. Oh yes,
(02:34):
they do. Come on, man, I have been a victim
of police brutality for many years. I've gotten wooden shampoos,
concrete facials, attitudinal readjustments where they have me suck concrete
and diamond and Gandhi in the days where they hated
the Guardian Angels for the first thirteen years from seventy
nine too, I would say about ninety two, a cop
(02:58):
would lock me up upstairs on the street, handcuffed in
the back, and they'd say, you see the hood of
the squad car and I knew what was coming here,
bam bam, and then I'd have two big knots on
my head.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You got any cte?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Uh, Well, that's why the furniture is upstairs and apparently
rearranged in the wrong room.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Sometimes makes sense, All right, this tracks.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, I've had many concussions, many concussions. I mean you
could tell.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Right, Curtis, you scare me.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, No, I'm a survivor. I'm a survivor.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You are.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And you're also going viral a lot lately, and people
loved you, and you were on the podcast. People loved you.
So we decided that we're going to do something new,
and we're going to address the mess with you once
a week.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Wow, you're gonna give me a fix once a week.
That's like giving an attic a hook cup. I know,
here's my vein here.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You're nervous. I know we're nervous.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
All you gotta do is put a camera in front
of me, put a microphone in front of me, even
if it's a fagezy a foe, and I'll just keep talking.
You can go out, have a sandwich, a bowl of
soup at the diner on the corner, come back and
I'll still be talking.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well, unfortunately, we are limited to about twenty five minutes.
What Yeah, that's not even a warm up. You're gonna
have to do your best here.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Excuse me? Yes, how long did jay Z keep the
audience waiting? And Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Who you are?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Not? Jay Z? Yo am I from Brooklyn? Okay? Jay
Z Masci Avenue projects week compared to from where Curtis Slee.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is, you've been arrested more times than him.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
For sure me that I got more street cred because,
let's face it, he's not in the streets anymore. He's
in the suite with Beyonsei Blue the NFL. His days
in the streets are over. Although he shot his brother
right and did a rap wrecking out of it, and
what frotum? How do you shoot him brother?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know so much, Curtis. Okay, speaking of all of this,
I don't even know how we begin to address this
stuff with you, because there's just so much to say.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Did I not turn that mother out at the Gay
Pride parade? Did I not turn it out?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I was in the crowd, like I'm impressed with your knees.
Let me just tell you those knees are strong. Just
dropping it, give back up.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know how many times I've been hit with baseball
batch on my knees. I think they're impenetra. Yes, whatever
that word is.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Whatever that word is, Curtis, you're unwell.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well look that's a fight dolar word, that's multi syllabic.
I have difficulty with that.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And he got another one. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
But did you see me on the iHeart frolt First,
maximum respect to all our brothers and sisters from iHeart
that were there for Gay Pride. But you know that
Clowd that was like new in strong on both sides
when they saw Curtisley when the Red sat teen jacket
and the red beret like Tony Manero in Saturday Night
(06:09):
Fever and then twerk in the crowd. I turned that
mother out, you did. I there with young people part
of iHeart, all the different stations, and they all participated.
Who just couldn't keep up with me? I was a
whirling dervish.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You were. I couldn't believe it. I said, what has
happened here? Oh my god, Curtis. It was incredible. And
then from that we found out some interesting things about you.
Is it true that you officiated the first unofficial gay
weddings in Yeah, New York City.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You don't have to listen to me, because a lot
of people you're selling me wolf tickets. Get out of here.
You did the first gay wedding in New York state, Yeah,
nineteen seventy seven. You don't have to listen to me.
Go to the Huffington Post. Years after that. I had
no idea my closes in the McDonald's that I was
(06:58):
a night manager of nineteen seventies, late seventies on East
Fordham roaded Webster in the Bronx. That's why I started
the Guardian Angels. Some of them were gay and lesbian.
Some not. There was one Ralphie three snaps up man.
He was. He was my best closer of all time.
He was a definitely queen. Oh my god. And he
(07:22):
goes to another assistant manager, Don Chan, and he goes,
you know, Curtis is good with his words. Do you
think he'd be willing to come and marry me? To
my friend Vinnie that we've been living together for four years,
Don said, look, Curtis is up for it. First of all,
I didn't tolerate any homophobia in that restaurant in nineteen
(07:43):
seventy and nine, in the boogiey Down Bronx, where every
second word out of people's mouth was homophobic. So if
you were in the lobby there and you didn't like
dealing with Ralphie at the cash register or some of
the other gays and lesbians, I warn you one time
you don't use that languae which here, or you could
take it outside. And then naturally a white boy who's
(08:05):
gonna make me go outside.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Over the counter, I lift them up boom and their
bones would rattle, and they'd all say, that's a crazy
white boy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But you could not disrespect this cool good not disrespect them.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So you have given as many concrete facials as you
have gotten.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Well, you see, there are a lot of guys out
there and some gals who'll talk about all the beatdowns
they've given out. If you've given beatdowns out, you had
to take beatowns, and a lot of people will never
acknowledge that. And I can tell you all I gotta
do is look at a guy schnaz that Schnezola. Right,
Italians and Jewish guys especially, they got those big beats.
(08:52):
You justam hit them right now. They're like little Mama
Luke's she got to know all the tricks of street survival.
Now that may be considered be course, maybe a little insensitive. Well,
when it's life with death in the streets, man, you
gotta figure out how I can get in there and
get out of there before all the homies start traveling
(09:13):
after me and want to turn me into a speed bump,
depending on what neighborhood you met.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, so speaking of that, there are still people who
want to turn you into a speedbump. Correct to this day.
You just told us the cop wants you to stop reading.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
They wanted me to be a cadaver and for Milde
hide if they.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Would We don't want that. We want you to stay alive,
which brings me to a point that Diamond brought up
not long ago, because one of our commenters left us
a message saying that they saw you sleeping on the train.
You're not worried. You just go to sleep on the train.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Look, homeless people sleep on the train. There, my brothers
and sisters. You know, sometimes I get a little tired. Man,
I cop a squat right there.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
But how are you not scared that someone could just
like get you in your sleep?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
May my dad?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Oh God, I believe you. I believe they should wake
up swinging cops.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Two years ago, when there were jostlers out there, jostlers
would come up to you and they try to pick
your pockets, slice you if you woke up, you know,
if all of a sudden while you were sleeping. So
cops would be undercover and they would pretend to be homeless,
and that's how they would get to jostlers. So, man,
I would welcome that opportunity. Oh you thought I was
(10:26):
a sleeper. I'm a one eye jack. And now you
will pay the price at the fact that you took
on Curtis Sleewer rather than some innocent homeless person. This
is their home. This is their home. They had nowhere else.
So I'm the guardian of the homeless and the emotionally disturbed.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
And you're so emotionally regulated that you can go to
sleep on a train that is respectable.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, when you are on a flight, an airline flight,
unless you're like a nervous snelly, how many people you
just put a blanket over your head. You go to sleep,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But it's different than the subway.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
But planes are aren't jerking the way the trains are jerking.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
No, but you see it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's the sound of the grinding wheels, the smell of
defecation and urine in the air. It's sort of like
a lullaby for me. It brings me to my roots,
to my roots. Man, I was birthed in the subway,
you know. In nineteen fifty nine. I took my first
subway ride by myself and have ridden the subways ever since.
(11:26):
Nineteen fifty nine. How many years ago that hold on.
I didn't do too good at math in school, but man,
that's a long time ago. I love the subways. I
love it, especially when the air conditioning is off and
it's hot. And it's like a sauna, like we're in equinox.
We paid all this mad money to be with the
(11:47):
Trendois and now you get a sauna. You jump the
fair because most people don't even pay the fair. You
have a sauna. What do you have to complain about?
You go home, you're dripping wet, and you feel relieved.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I questions for you. We're supposed to be talking about
pop culture topics and a couple of political things, but
you are such a treasure trove that I don't even
know where to start.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But you start glazing me. Man, I've never been glazed
so much in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Guy, or it'll stop. Don't worry, I'll get me. I'll
give me soon. But you ran for mayor here in
New York City as a conservative. Nothing I hear coming
out of your mouth is conservatives.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
You couldn't be yeah more hopelessly wrong. There is a
conservative party in New York City and New York State.
I've never sought their endorsement. And when they heard what
I stand for, like gay marriage, gun control, all of
those things.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Police brutality, no look looking out for homeless people.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Right. I know these people, they're not bad people, but
I have nothing in common with conservatives. In fact, a
lot of people would say, well, why the hell are
you even a Republican because I am a Republican in
the tradition of Abraham Lincoln, not Donald Trump. Ooh fog.
I'm not part of that cult. I'm not mega.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Thank god, thank god. I don't think we would all
we would all be having this lovely conversation being.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
The president in the election. Make that well known. A
vote ausly is a volfas on my nummie, even though
he's the Republican. Small rye vote for Cuomo who was
slapping fannies and killing granny's.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, you love that one. I So what about you
as conservative? What are your conservative beliefs here? Because you
you were talking about Dolan needing to be taxed.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I don't think I've ever been quiet in my life.
You've You're right, I don't think I have a conservative
vote in my body.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I just wonder because there were so many people I was.
I was blown away by it in the best way possible.
Glazed in you again. Here we go, prepare yourself at
the comment section, because I fully expected people to kind
of calm out us hard about it. But the amount
of people on both sides of that political spectrum seems
(14:01):
to really like you.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well, you know what they want you to.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Be somewhere in the cabinet.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's like, you know, yeah, but the two big powers
in politics now on the right it's Mega. On the
left it's essay, and if you're not with them, you're
on the outside looking. It's polarized. It's like you gotta
jump into your bunker because they're throwing rhetorical bombs back
and forth. I'm talking about unification, what brings us together,
(14:25):
and they're interested in polarization. I ain't having none of that.
But you're right, people think of me as a conservative.
Way did they ever get that idea?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I need to know.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's because I'm a Republican, right, And they say, well,
if you're a Republican, you must be No. No, the
Party of Lincoln was not a party of conservatives. In fact,
if you go back to the sixties, the Democrats were
the ones who were opposed to civil rights, those from
the Deep South. The Republicans were promoting it. And then
everything got top c turvy in the age of Donald Trump,
(14:58):
which is basically, if you you ain't for Trump, if
you ain't for Maga. They want to shine their boots
on your backside. Nobody's gonna intimidate me, Nobody is gonna
bully me. I am not a trumper, I am not Maga.
I respect Republicans. Everybody should have their own point of view,
but don't try to put me in a box. The
only people who tried to put me in a box
(15:18):
failed to do that with five hollow point bullets.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh my god, I stop, you posted the other air Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Did you see the work that God he's in the
gambinos this sure did see they missed that six shot
which would have went right through my medulla.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Thank god, we're happy about that. Glazing you again.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I could I put out a shout out to the
guy who tried to kill me is now out.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Of jail, all right? Sure, yeah, I don't know if
that's a good idea, Curtis.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Why not? Hey Micha Leonardi, I know you're out there somewhere.
You didn't you twenty years? You should have done more.
Why don't you go for target practice? Maybe the next
time you may actually hit your desired target.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It is who you're like, a UFC fighter, just out
here antagonizing.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Of course I always do that. I always step to you.
I don't step away from you. I believe that's how
I have survived in the streets, especially in your hood.
The ville never ran, never will Diamond in Brownsville. Being
the only white boy seventy four to seventy six man,
I could not step back. I had to step to them,
the brothers, and out of that. If you notice, it's
(16:28):
a respect that is built in over time that I'm
considered now an old time.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Please do not start with this.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Can I say something?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I woke up to eleven text messages from him, what
are you doing?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
And I'm like, what does this man have to say?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Eleven times everything?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Like what is going on?
Speaker 3 (16:57):
I open it and it's graphic after AI graphic also
like Facebook AI graphics of like the old timers schedule
for the entire summer, and I'm like, Curtis number.
Speaker 4 (17:12):

the Flash, the Furious Five, and the message, the greatest
political message of all time. I'm saying all that's coming

Wow, the old timers are out in these streets.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Well they're old. They're as old as me, even older,
and we're old school.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You really don't come across as old. It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
No, that's true.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I saw again, we saw you dropping it like it's hot.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Man. Let me tell you, anybody, how come I'm not
on Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Why would you want to be on Dancing with the Stars.

What a question?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Nobody could outdance Curtis Sleeve on that dance floor, buddy

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Would you do it?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Absolutely? In a heartbeat. They have rejected me time and
time again.

Wait, you've tried to get on.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, you know, you send in your app. I should
be in and I send the videos, and this year

when I first came on WOR. You know, we're the
old people here at iHeart. We're am you know, like

to the topics that we want to talk.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Of course, of course, are you ready?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
We're gonna go rapid fire? Is miss McConnell dead?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Is Mitch McConnell dead.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Is Mitch McConnell gay dead dead?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
No, that was that was.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Graham, Graham Gay and dead.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
He snatch up man. He had the vapors flying there.
Uh Mitch McConnell, without a doubt. That photograph you saw
of him in bed with his wife, that was AI
generated no doubt. This guy is like am I, a
missing in action. He's always half in the bag. He
loves that Kentucky bourbon man. He's falling down. He has
(20:56):
a time to retire, Mitch, but they never want to retire.
They believe they should be in the Senate for life.
That's why you need term limits, Mitch McConnell. Throw you
out of there, get out of it.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
But is he dead or alive? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Man? He was dead when he was alive. He was
a dead man walking when he was alive.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay, fair enough. I'm convinced that he is either dead
or completely incapacitated. But there's definitely he's not having these
twenty minute phone calls with the people that are tweeting
that he is and that picture is crazy. I just
wanted to know your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And by the way, with Lindsey Graham, right, the guy
had to live a closeted life because he was a Republican. Yeah,
you can never really be the flourished guy that he
wanted to be. Yeah, I mean you gotta say to yourself,
why the hell did he have to live that kind
of life. Everybody knew he was gay, didn't nothing wrong
with that. But some Republicans, Oh my, I meantime, how
(21:48):
many of them are closeted gaye. You know how many
of those Holy rollers are closeted gays?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Do you know what grinder is?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Who?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Grinder?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
You heard of that grind?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Every time there's a convention with the GOP, grinder crashes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Man, let me tell you something. You think they're online,
we grind it too. You think that you think they're surfing,
you grind it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I know they are.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Wait a second, how do you know that.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I got friends?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh? Okay, check that to me. No, no, because you're
down in Miami. Remember whatever happens in Miami stage in Miami.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, I think that's a line now too, because that's.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Got him and Gomora. Miami it is. It's like New Orleans.
It's like Las Vegas, Sin City, Miami Beach.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You are correct. It's a great place to grow up.
So next topic, the World Cup. Oh here in the city.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I hate that fake, fully fraudulent football. They spelled with
a you. I love American smash mouth football. I want
all of these forthest to leave my city. I want
my city back. France Spade times here it goes English
school dogs, Get the hell out of here. That's not
our sport. It never will be our sport may some people,
(23:01):
it'll be on the periphery. Our sports are what American
smash mount football, baseball, and basketball America love it or
leave it.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Do you think that we're just not that good because
of the way you have to pay a ton of
money to be part of football with you.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
No, because they're all over the world. I've been the
first world country's third world countries. Yeah, these young men
and women are birth to play soccer the moment they're
brought into the world. Boo, they're kicking around a soccer ball.
American is so kick around soccer ball.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
We have so many people now coming from other places
that I think there are a ton of people that
are birth playing soccer, but they can't afford these travel teams,
so they're never going.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
To get there birthright citizens. Maybe, so we take advantage
of that right and still were not good enough to compete.
Come on, gandhi diamond. Can we leave these countries with
anything that is their natural sports?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Oh so you want us to out of it? Is
a courtesy to the other countries and just let them know.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
This is what I've seen with my three sons. Unfortunately,
it's the game of choice because everybody gets to participate.
Everybody goes on the pitch, they run up and down,
they knock themselves out. The score is nil nil. Why
don't you just say zero zero, the most boring game
in the world. And then everybody gets a participation trophy.
What are you talking about? Participation?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Football players get them to This has.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Made Americans week particer Hell yes, right? How many parents
said I don't want my children playing American smash mouth
football because they'll get concussions. You see that when they
head the ball boom boom. You don't think they're getting concussed.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I don't think it's the same way.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
They're always faking injuries on them. Oh my god, did
you get Academy awards? Oh my leg my knee. Get
out of here. You're so weak. Your mama, Luke's get up.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So we love soccer, amazing football, football with the you
you're here for.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I love American smash mouth football. Is there anything more
American than American smash mouth football.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
No? I think that's why this is the only place
that has it.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Apple pie, the flag and American smash mouth football that
has created this gambling mecca where all these young men's
with high level of Testostan crashing through the Ukranium, are
betting on FanDuel and all these other Where are they
getting this money from? The rent is? Do? Why to pay? Right?
It's not affordable the course, the living is where they're
(25:33):
getting this smullersh schmooller this scat all. You think they're
doing some of the farious things to get that money?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, So why are we promoting that? Why are we
encouraging them promoted gambling?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I'm talking about soccer being amazing, but I do like them.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
By the way, the biggest cheatahs in the world are
those who organize Fee five four fund FIFA. I mean,
you know how many times have been indicted? How many?
In fact, there was a bulgar every indelegate years ago
who sold his vote on the committee for a pair
of Bruno Maggia's shoes. I mean, how low can you go?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, FIVA's corrupt, super corrupt. It's very American now.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
But then again, NBA is corrupt now, footballers corrup baseballer's corrub.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You got shot because of corruption in America.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Thank you? Hello clazy to me. I love this, I
love this.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Okay, last thing, because we're about to get kicked out
of this studio in a minute, Speaking of America in
the flag, how did you feel about Taylor Swift getting
married right here at Madison Square Garden on July fourth, third,
whatever day it was.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You folks play mad crazy Taylor Swift music on Z
one Hunter I do.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It is the house of the Swifties and Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
It is.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yes, don't worry about us.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Do I have to respect my enemy Elvis Duran? Do
I have to put a chink in his tailors? Swift Empire?
She comes in here with her hillbilly husband. She rents
Madison Square Garden for a million a night. The last
time there was weddings in Madison Square Garden with Sun
(27:12):
Young Moon, with those arranged weddings of hundreds of those Moonies.
And then with all of that, she invites a thousand
Trandois freakersoids or jet setters, and she has a buffet.
Come on, oh, I mean, how low can you go?
They might as well have all gone to a flea
market afterwards. And meantime the cops are outside. They're taking
(27:35):
one hundred thousand Swifties to go to show up. Swifties
are smart, they said, Man, it's too hot outside. You know,
we'll watch it all online. They're like ten Swifties. There
were more reporters. There were more people kickball, kickball, you
know from Norway with the Viking got out, then there
were Swifties.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I mean that was udiscratsiata. That was a shanda. My god,
Taylor Swift should have been married in Cleveland or a
flyover state like Kansas City. Why did you have to
come to my city to get married? And you're knowing
a year she's gonna do a whole drop album on that.
What's the hell billy's name then?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Is Travis Kelsey?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, Travis Kelsey, the guy who likes to drink those
speak tall boys. In a year's time, it's not gonna
be a song she drops to say it. Snay, it's
gonna be a whole drop Dissan dismiss album on this
guy's head.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So you think she got married at Madison Square Garden
to divorce him in a year and have another album.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Look you follow Taylor Swift's Korea. I'd hate to be
one of the many boy toys because man, you will
never recover from that. If she gets angry at you,
she pops out a song and then millions here that
wherever you go, you gotta go incognito. Oh my god,
the Swifties you're after you. How could you have done
(28:56):
that to a goddess?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
They're gonna come for you. I want you to know.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Oh yeah, but you see, I'm used to that. I mean, look,
at least they won't kill me like the Mob tried
to do. Don't haunt me. They'll say, oh, you're so
unkind of Taylor Swift And what's the name of a
hillbilly husband again, Travis Kelsey. I got let's face it,
that was not a match made in heaven.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Okay, I don't really know.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's like a junkyard dog marrying, you know, a princess.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Oh so you think she's a princess. I think you've
saved yourself with the Swifties. They love you.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Now did I damage your reputation? With Taylor Swift and
the Swifties and all those songs said you play a
see one hundred? I hear them. I hear them. Only
song I like a Taylor Swift the song she dedicated
to Coney Island. I can rock that song.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
What song is that?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Oh? See, you don't even know the nation of Swifties
are at the beck and call of Elvis Duran and
the whole court see one hundred. And you don't even
know the Coney Island song. Shame on you, Shame on
you got diamond. You're looking at me like I'm speaking
a foreign language. You never heard the Coney Island song?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
It's a great song. You gotta play it.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
If you tell me what it is, we'll play it.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah. Man, I don't even sing in the shower. I'm
not even gonna try to carry that note.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Okay, Well on that note. If people want to follow
you online, where can they find you?
Speaker 2 (30:21):

No, we only have so much time but we're gonna
have to get you in here again. It's clearly you
can fill it.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You know, buns come in before we go ahead?
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Is Mooney's a slur?
Speaker 2 (30:59):
No, No, that's what they called it. The Moonies of
Sun Young Moon. He had a cult and he would
rent out Madison Square guard eight thousand seats, and he
would forcibly marry his followers who had never seen one
another before, arranged marriages. You don't like the shittach the
matchmaker would do, okay.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I just want to make sure because you say things
sometimes and I don't know what it means, and then
I'm like, oh Jesus.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
See you weren't even birthed. He just shows you. I'm
of a different age, a different generation to not know
who the Moonies are. And Sun Young Moon, who when
he went on trial for tax evasion because he didn't
pay his taxes and the US government put him in jail,
he goes, what do you mean, I am the church.
I don't have to pay taxes. And as everybody knows
(31:43):
in America, from the cradle to the grave, this one
thing that we all have in common, we must pay taxes.
Est Leona Helmsley said only the little people pay taxes
and she went to jail.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Oh my god, I look that up too. Okay, getting
the get out of the studio wrap up sign from
out there. I don't know if you saw them.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
I'm just warmed up piece.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
I know you are.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
I thought this. It says the gateway to Paradise. You
are now expelling me from Paradise and casting me back
into hell without an asbestos suit.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Yes, you gotta take your honey bunch. You gotta go
back to where you came from. We love you, though,
thank you for stopping by people. Oh my god, he's
making out with the honeymoon box. That's cute, diamond. If
people want to find you, where they find you. Yeah,
and I am at baby Hot Sauce. And this is
addressing the US. Curtis will see you and we can't
You don't need you don't need the headphones.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Excuse me, you don't phones? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Oh wow, we're it's gonna freestyle this without them.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
But I feel so comfortable with headphones. If you want
to wear it, why don't you fake me out?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
By all means, watch me answer questions that oh man, curtists.
We are happy to have you back.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hell of course, of course, of course.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
So what we're doing now by popular demand, I must say,
and I want this to go to your head because
your hat won't fit if it gets bigger. People loved
you on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh man, I need some haters out there to be seen.
I saw the door outside, Diamond said, see the door
paradise awaits you. This is not like paradise. This is
like going into hell without an asbestos suit.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
With honey buns is like hell.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Honey buns but also too much estrogen. Oh between you,
Gandhi and you Diamond is estrogen everywhere in the room.
So I brought you gifts, okay from county jail. Lock up,
honey buns.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You brought us honey buns.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, and let me tell you I brought in over
four hundred of them yesterday because the vending machine here,
Hm just happened to be out of honey buns for weeks,
because that is my number one obsession, honey buns from
my time in jail, and it is like currency in
a county lockup, in a city jail, when you go
(01:44):
for your commissary, you get your honey buns, you get
your ramen noodles. And when you could smoke legally in jail,
your new portmantals hard box, not the soft box.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Let me ask you this, Kurt, Yes, how long ago
were you in jail?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I'm locked up eighty two times?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well how long? When was the last time?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh? I would say the last time It was about
two years ago?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Why really?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:07):
What did you do two years ago?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Demonstrations? Man, I'm out there, mobilized, organized, you know, and
then all of a sudden the cop, the sergeant will say,
you know the positions, Lee would take the position. I said,
what's the problem, what's the charge? Sergeant? He says, my
problem with you is you inhale and you exhale. It'd
be a lot better in this world if all of
a sudden you couldn't inhale or excel get out. Oh yes,
(02:34):
they do. Come on, man, I have been a victim
of police brutality for many years. I've gotten wooden shampoos,
concrete facials, attitudinal readjustments where they have me suck concrete
and diamond and Gandhi in the days where they hated
the Guardian Angels for the first thirteen years from seventy
nine too, I would say about ninety two, a cop
(02:58):
would lock me up upstairs on the street, handcuffed in
the back, and they'd say, you see the hood of
the squad car and I knew what was coming here,
bam bam, and then I'd have two big knots on
my head.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
You got any cte?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Uh, Well, that's why the furniture is upstairs and apparently
rearranged in the wrong room.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Sometimes makes sense, All right, this tracks.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
No, I've had many concussions, many concussions. I mean you
could tell.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Right, Curtis, you scare me.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
No, No, I'm a survivor. I'm a survivor.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You are.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
And you're also going viral a lot lately, and people
loved you, and you were on the podcast. People loved you.
So we decided that we're going to do something new,
and we're going to address the mess with you once
a week.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Wow, you're gonna give me a fix once a week.
That's like giving an attic a hook cup. I know,
here's my vein here.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
You're nervous. I know we're nervous.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
All you gotta do is put a camera in front
of me, put a microphone in front of me, even
if it's a fagezy a foe, and I'll just keep talking.
You can go out, have a sandwich, a bowl of
soup at the diner on the corner, come back and
I'll still be talking.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Well, unfortunately, we are limited to about twenty five minutes.
What Yeah, that's not even a warm up. You're gonna
have to do your best here.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Excuse me? Yes, how long did jay Z keep the
audience waiting? And Yankee Stadium?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Who you are?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Not? Jay Z? Yo am I from Brooklyn? Okay? Jay
Z Masci Avenue projects week compared to from where Curtis Slee.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Is, you've been arrested more times than him.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
For sure me that I got more street cred because,
let's face it, he's not in the streets anymore. He's
in the suite with Beyonsei Blue the NFL. His days
in the streets are over. Although he shot his brother
right and did a rap wrecking out of it, and
what frotum? How do you shoot him brother?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know so much, Curtis. Okay, speaking of all of this,
I don't even know how we begin to address this
stuff with you, because there's just so much to say.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Did I not turn that mother out at the Gay
Pride parade? Did I not turn it out?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I was in the crowd, like I'm impressed with your knees.
Let me just tell you those knees are strong. Just
dropping it, give back up.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You know how many times I've been hit with baseball
batch on my knees. I think they're impenetra. Yes, whatever
that word is.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Whatever that word is, Curtis, you're unwell.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well look that's a fight dolar word, that's multi syllabic.
I have difficulty with that.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And he got another one. Good for you.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
But did you see me on the iHeart frolt First,
maximum respect to all our brothers and sisters from iHeart
that were there for Gay Pride. But you know that
Clowd that was like new in strong on both sides
when they saw Curtisley when the Red sat teen jacket
and the red beret like Tony Manero in Saturday Night
(06:09):
Fever and then twerk in the crowd. I turned that
mother out, you did. I there with young people part
of iHeart, all the different stations, and they all participated.
Who just couldn't keep up with me? I was a
whirling dervish.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
You were. I couldn't believe it. I said, what has
happened here? Oh my god, Curtis. It was incredible. And
then from that we found out some interesting things about you.
Is it true that you officiated the first unofficial gay
weddings in Yeah, New York City.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
You don't have to listen to me, because a lot
of people you're selling me wolf tickets. Get out of here.
You did the first gay wedding in New York state, Yeah,
nineteen seventy seven. You don't have to listen to me.
Go to the Huffington Post. Years after that. I had
no idea my closes in the McDonald's that I was
(06:58):
a night manager of nineteen seventies, late seventies on East
Fordham roaded Webster in the Bronx. That's why I started
the Guardian Angels. Some of them were gay and lesbian.
Some not. There was one Ralphie three snaps up man.
He was. He was my best closer of all time.
He was a definitely queen. Oh my god. And he
(07:22):
goes to another assistant manager, Don Chan, and he goes,
you know, Curtis is good with his words. Do you
think he'd be willing to come and marry me? To
my friend Vinnie that we've been living together for four years,
Don said, look, Curtis is up for it. First of all,
I didn't tolerate any homophobia in that restaurant in nineteen
(07:43):
seventy and nine, in the boogiey Down Bronx, where every
second word out of people's mouth was homophobic. So if
you were in the lobby there and you didn't like
dealing with Ralphie at the cash register or some of
the other gays and lesbians, I warn you one time
you don't use that languae which here, or you could
take it outside. And then naturally a white boy who's
(08:05):
gonna make me go outside.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Over the counter, I lift them up boom and their
bones would rattle, and they'd all say, that's a crazy
white boy.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But you could not disrespect this cool good not disrespect them.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So you have given as many concrete facials as you
have gotten.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Well, you see, there are a lot of guys out
there and some gals who'll talk about all the beatdowns
they've given out. If you've given beatdowns out, you had
to take beatowns, and a lot of people will never
acknowledge that. And I can tell you all I gotta
do is look at a guy schnaz that Schnezola. Right,
Italians and Jewish guys especially, they got those big beats.
(08:52):
You justam hit them right now. They're like little Mama
Luke's she got to know all the tricks of street survival.
Now that may be considered be course, maybe a little insensitive. Well,
when it's life with death in the streets, man, you
gotta figure out how I can get in there and
get out of there before all the homies start traveling
(09:13):
after me and want to turn me into a speed bump,
depending on what neighborhood you met.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Okay, so speaking of that, there are still people who
want to turn you into a speedbump. Correct to this day.
You just told us the cop wants you to stop reading.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
They wanted me to be a cadaver and for Milde
hide if they.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Would We don't want that. We want you to stay alive,
which brings me to a point that Diamond brought up
not long ago, because one of our commenters left us
a message saying that they saw you sleeping on the train.
You're not worried. You just go to sleep on the train.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Look, homeless people sleep on the train. There, my brothers
and sisters. You know, sometimes I get a little tired. Man,
I cop a squat right there.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
But how are you not scared that someone could just
like get you in your sleep?
Speaker 2 (09:59):
May my dad?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Oh God, I believe you. I believe they should wake
up swinging cops.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Two years ago, when there were jostlers out there, jostlers
would come up to you and they try to pick
your pockets, slice you if you woke up, you know,
if all of a sudden while you were sleeping. So
cops would be undercover and they would pretend to be homeless,
and that's how they would get to jostlers. So, man,
I would welcome that opportunity. Oh you thought I was
(10:26):
a sleeper. I'm a one eye jack. And now you
will pay the price at the fact that you took
on Curtis Sleewer rather than some innocent homeless person. This
is their home. This is their home. They had nowhere else.
So I'm the guardian of the homeless and the emotionally disturbed.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
And you're so emotionally regulated that you can go to
sleep on a train that is respectable.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Well, when you are on a flight, an airline flight,
unless you're like a nervous snelly, how many people you
just put a blanket over your head. You go to sleep,
for sure.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But it's different than the subway.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
But planes are aren't jerking the way the trains are jerking.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
No, but you see it.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's the sound of the grinding wheels, the smell of
defecation and urine in the air. It's sort of like
a lullaby for me. It brings me to my roots,
to my roots. Man, I was birthed in the subway,
you know. In nineteen fifty nine. I took my first
subway ride by myself and have ridden the subways ever since.
(11:26):
Nineteen fifty nine. How many years ago that hold on.
I didn't do too good at math in school, but man,
that's a long time ago. I love the subways. I
love it, especially when the air conditioning is off and
it's hot. And it's like a sauna, like we're in equinox.
We paid all this mad money to be with the
(11:47):
Trendois and now you get a sauna. You jump the
fair because most people don't even pay the fair. You
have a sauna. What do you have to complain about?
You go home, you're dripping wet, and you feel relieved.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I questions for you. We're supposed to be talking about
pop culture topics and a couple of political things, but
you are such a treasure trove that I don't even
know where to start.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
But you start glazing me. Man, I've never been glazed
so much in my life.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Guy, or it'll stop. Don't worry, I'll get me. I'll
give me soon. But you ran for mayor here in
New York City as a conservative. Nothing I hear coming
out of your mouth is conservatives.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
You couldn't be yeah more hopelessly wrong. There is a
conservative party in New York City and New York State.
I've never sought their endorsement. And when they heard what
I stand for, like gay marriage, gun control, all of
those things.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Police brutality, no look looking out for homeless people.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Right. I know these people, they're not bad people, but
I have nothing in common with conservatives. In fact, a
lot of people would say, well, why the hell are
you even a Republican because I am a Republican in
the tradition of Abraham Lincoln, not Donald Trump. Ooh fog.
I'm not part of that cult. I'm not mega.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Thank god, thank god. I don't think we would all
we would all be having this lovely conversation being.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
The president in the election. Make that well known. A
vote ausly is a volfas on my nummie, even though
he's the Republican. Small rye vote for Cuomo who was
slapping fannies and killing granny's.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah, you love that one. I So what about you
as conservative? What are your conservative beliefs here? Because you
you were talking about Dolan needing to be taxed.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I don't think I've ever been quiet in my life.
You've You're right, I don't think I have a conservative
vote in my body.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I just wonder because there were so many people I was.
I was blown away by it in the best way possible.
Glazed in you again. Here we go, prepare yourself at
the comment section, because I fully expected people to kind
of calm out us hard about it. But the amount
of people on both sides of that political spectrum seems
(14:01):
to really like you.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well, you know what they want you to.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Be somewhere in the cabinet.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
It's like, you know, yeah, but the two big powers
in politics now on the right it's Mega. On the
left it's essay, and if you're not with them, you're
on the outside looking. It's polarized. It's like you gotta
jump into your bunker because they're throwing rhetorical bombs back
and forth. I'm talking about unification, what brings us together,
(14:25):
and they're interested in polarization. I ain't having none of that.
But you're right, people think of me as a conservative.
Way did they ever get that idea?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I need to know.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
That's because I'm a Republican, right, And they say, well,
if you're a Republican, you must be No. No, the
Party of Lincoln was not a party of conservatives. In fact,
if you go back to the sixties, the Democrats were
the ones who were opposed to civil rights, those from
the Deep South. The Republicans were promoting it. And then
everything got top c turvy in the age of Donald Trump,
(14:58):
which is basically, if you you ain't for Trump, if
you ain't for Maga. They want to shine their boots
on your backside. Nobody's gonna intimidate me, Nobody is gonna
bully me. I am not a trumper, I am not Maga.
I respect Republicans. Everybody should have their own point of view,
but don't try to put me in a box. The
only people who tried to put me in a box
(15:18):
failed to do that with five hollow point bullets.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Oh my god, I stop, you posted the other air Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Did you see the work that God he's in the
gambinos this sure did see they missed that six shot
which would have went right through my medulla.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Thank god, we're happy about that. Glazing you again.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
I could I put out a shout out to the
guy who tried to kill me is now out.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Of jail, all right? Sure, yeah, I don't know if
that's a good idea, Curtis.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Why not? Hey Micha Leonardi, I know you're out there somewhere.
You didn't you twenty years? You should have done more.
Why don't you go for target practice? Maybe the next
time you may actually hit your desired target.
Speaker 1 (16:00):

here antagonizing.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Of course I always do that. I always step to you.
I don't step away from you. I believe that's how
I have survived in the streets, especially in your hood.
The ville never ran, never will Diamond in Brownsville. Being
the only white boy seventy four to seventy six man,
I could not step back. I had to step to them,
the brothers, and out of that. If you notice, it's
(16:28):
a respect that is built in over time that I'm
considered now an old time.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Absolutely? In a heartbeat. They have rejected me time and
time again.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
It really doesn't this way.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
So why is an am guy here? I mean, think

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Because you're fabulous? Oh got him glazing you again?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
I gotta start, I gotta start.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Is terrible. Okay, Well, I told you we only had
a certain amount of time, so we have to get
to the topics that we want to talk.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Of course, of course, are you ready?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
We're gonna go rapid fire? Is miss McConnell dead?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Is Mitch McConnell dead.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Is Mitch McConnell gay dead dead?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
No, that was that was.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Graham, Graham Gay and dead.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
He snatch up man. He had the vapors flying there.
Uh Mitch McConnell, without a doubt. That photograph you saw
of him in bed with his wife, that was AI
generated no doubt. This guy is like am I, a
missing in action. He's always half in the bag. He
loves that Kentucky bourbon man. He's falling down. He has
(20:56):
a time to retire, Mitch, but they never want to retire.
They believe they should be in the Senate for life.
That's why you need term limits, Mitch McConnell. Throw you
out of there, get out of it.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
But is he dead or alive? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Man? He was dead when he was alive. He was
a dead man walking when he was alive.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Okay, fair enough. I'm convinced that he is either dead
or completely incapacitated. But there's definitely he's not having these
twenty minute phone calls with the people that are tweeting
that he is and that picture is crazy. I just
wanted to know your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And by the way, with Lindsey Graham, right, the guy
had to live a closeted life because he was a Republican. Yeah,
you can never really be the flourished guy that he
wanted to be. Yeah, I mean you gotta say to yourself,
why the hell did he have to live that kind
of life. Everybody knew he was gay, didn't nothing wrong
with that. But some Republicans, Oh my, I meantime, how
(21:48):
many of them are closeted gaye. You know how many
of those Holy rollers are closeted gays?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Do you know what grinder is?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Who?
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Grinder?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
You heard of that grind?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Every time there's a convention with the GOP, grinder crashes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Man, let me tell you something. You think they're online,
we grind it too. You think that you think they're surfing,
you grind it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
I know they are.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Wait a second, how do you know that.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I got friends?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh? Okay, check that to me. No, no, because you're
down in Miami. Remember whatever happens in Miami stage in Miami.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, I think that's a line now too, because that's.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Got him and Gomora. Miami it is. It's like New Orleans.
It's like Las Vegas, Sin City, Miami Beach.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
You are correct. It's a great place to grow up.
So next topic, the World Cup. Oh here in the city.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I hate that fake, fully fraudulent football. They spelled with
a you. I love American smash mouth football. I want
all of these forthest to leave my city. I want
my city back. France Spade times here it goes English
school dogs, Get the hell out of here. That's not
our sport. It never will be our sport may some people,
(23:01):
it'll be on the periphery. Our sports are what American
smash mount football, baseball, and basketball America love it or
leave it.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Do you think that we're just not that good because
of the way you have to pay a ton of
money to be part of football with you.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
No, because they're all over the world. I've been the
first world country's third world countries. Yeah, these young men
and women are birth to play soccer the moment they're
brought into the world. Boo, they're kicking around a soccer ball.
American is so kick around soccer ball.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
We have so many people now coming from other places
that I think there are a ton of people that
are birth playing soccer, but they can't afford these travel teams,
so they're never going.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
To get there birthright citizens. Maybe, so we take advantage
of that right and still were not good enough to compete.
Come on, gandhi diamond. Can we leave these countries with
anything that is their natural sports?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Oh so you want us to out of it? Is
a courtesy to the other countries and just let them know.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
This is what I've seen with my three sons. Unfortunately,
it's the game of choice because everybody gets to participate.
Everybody goes on the pitch, they run up and down,
they knock themselves out. The score is nil nil. Why
don't you just say zero zero, the most boring game
in the world. And then everybody gets a participation trophy.
What are you talking about? Participation?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Football players get them to This has.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Made Americans week particer Hell yes, right? How many parents
said I don't want my children playing American smash mouth
football because they'll get concussions. You see that when they
head the ball boom boom. You don't think they're getting concussed.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I don't think it's the same way.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
They're always faking injuries on them. Oh my god, did
you get Academy awards? Oh my leg my knee. Get
out of here. You're so weak. Your mama, Luke's get up.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
So we love soccer, amazing football, football with the you
you're here for.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I love American smash mouth football. Is there anything more
American than American smash mouth football.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
No? I think that's why this is the only place
that has it.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Apple pie, the flag and American smash mouth football that
has created this gambling mecca where all these young men's
with high level of Testostan crashing through the Ukranium, are
betting on FanDuel and all these other Where are they
getting this money from? The rent is? Do? Why to pay? Right?
It's not affordable the course, the living is where they're
(25:33):
getting this smullersh schmooller this scat all. You think they're
doing some of the farious things to get that money?
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Of course?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, So why are we promoting that? Why are we
encouraging them promoted gambling?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I'm talking about soccer being amazing, but I do like them.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
By the way, the biggest cheatahs in the world are
those who organize Fee five four fund FIFA. I mean,
you know how many times have been indicted? How many?
In fact, there was a bulgar every indelegate years ago
who sold his vote on the committee for a pair
of Bruno Maggia's shoes. I mean, how low can you go?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, FIVA's corrupt, super corrupt. It's very American now.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
But then again, NBA is corrupt now, footballers corrup baseballer's corrub.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You got shot because of corruption in America.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Thank you? Hello clazy to me. I love this, I
love this.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Okay, last thing, because we're about to get kicked out
of this studio in a minute, Speaking of America in
the flag, how did you feel about Taylor Swift getting
married right here at Madison Square Garden on July fourth, third,
whatever day it was.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You folks play mad crazy Taylor Swift music on Z
one Hunter I do.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It is the house of the Swifties and Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
It is.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yes, don't worry about us.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Do I have to respect my enemy Elvis Duran? Do
I have to put a chink in his tailors? Swift Empire?
She comes in here with her hillbilly husband. She rents
Madison Square Garden for a million a night. The last
time there was weddings in Madison Square Garden with Sun
(27:12):
Young Moon, with those arranged weddings of hundreds of those Moonies.
And then with all of that, she invites a thousand
Trandois freakersoids or jet setters, and she has a buffet.
Come on, oh, I mean, how low can you go?
They might as well have all gone to a flea
market afterwards. And meantime the cops are outside. They're taking
(27:35):
one hundred thousand Swifties to go to show up. Swifties
are smart, they said, Man, it's too hot outside. You know,
we'll watch it all online. They're like ten Swifties. There
were more reporters. There were more people kickball, kickball, you
know from Norway with the Viking got out, then there
were Swifties.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I mean that was udiscratsiata. That was a shanda. My god,
Taylor Swift should have been married in Cleveland or a
flyover state like Kansas City. Why did you have to
come to my city to get married? And you're knowing
a year she's gonna do a whole drop album on that.
What's the hell billy's name then?
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Is Travis Kelsey?
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah, Travis Kelsey, the guy who likes to drink those
speak tall boys. In a year's time, it's not gonna
be a song she drops to say it. Snay, it's
gonna be a whole drop Dissan dismiss album on this
guy's head.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So you think she got married at Madison Square Garden
to divorce him in a year and have another album.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Look you follow Taylor Swift's Korea. I'd hate to be
one of the many boy toys because man, you will
never recover from that. If she gets angry at you,
she pops out a song and then millions here that
wherever you go, you gotta go incognito. Oh my god,
the Swifties you're after you. How could you have done
(28:56):
that to a goddess?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
They're gonna come for you. I want you to know.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Oh yeah, but you see, I'm used to that. I mean, look,
at least they won't kill me like the Mob tried
to do. Don't haunt me. They'll say, oh, you're so
unkind of Taylor Swift And what's the name of a
hillbilly husband again, Travis Kelsey. I got let's face it,
that was not a match made in heaven.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Okay, I don't really know.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
That's like a junkyard dog marrying, you know, a princess.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Oh so you think she's a princess. I think you've
saved yourself with the Swifties. They love you.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Now did I damage your reputation? With Taylor Swift and
the Swifties and all those songs said you play a
see one hundred? I hear them. I hear them. Only
song I like a Taylor Swift the song she dedicated
to Coney Island. I can rock that song.

are at the beck and call of Elvis Duran and
the whole court see one hundred. And you don't even

Sun Young Moon. He had a cult and he would
rent out Madison Square guard eight thousand seats, and he
would forcibly marry his followers who had never seen one
another before, arranged marriages. You don't like the shittach the
matchmaker would do, okay.
Speaker 1 (31:16):

I'm like, oh Jesus.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
See you weren't even birthed. He just shows you. I'm
of a different age, a different generation to not know
who the Moonies are. And Sun Young Moon, who when
he went on trial for tax evasion because he didn't
pay his taxes and the US government put him in jail,
he goes, what do you mean, I am the church.
I don't have to pay taxes. And as everybody knows
(31:43):
in America, from the cradle to the grave, this one
thing that we all have in common, we must pay taxes.
