Speaker 1 (00:00):
By the way, it was great to talk to a
former police commissioner, Bill Bratton, one of the best the
city has ever had. If you want to hear the interview,
go to the iHeartRadio app. All the podcasts are there,
but it is fascinating to me what he was saying
about police officers possibly retiring because of Mom Donnie. If
there is a police officer out there that is listening,

(00:23):
we'd love to talk to you, and I'd love to
hear not only how you're feeling about this, but about
how the rank and file is feeling about this. Go
to the iHeartRadio app. You look for seven to ten
woor and then you look for the talkback feature. You
hit the microphone, record what you want to say, and
we'll play that. Coming up. We'll put the NYPD officer

(00:44):
to the top of the list because we'd love to
hear what you have to say. In the Big three
Congress votes to release the Epstein files, passing both the
House and the Senate in one long day.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
There's no reason it can't be on the President's desk
in an hour second.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
The president has to sign it.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
You never know what's him said he would let's wait
and see but third, we have to make sure that
the whole all of the.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Documents are released. That's Chuck Schumer. You know, he was
out there claiming credit for this. He's desperate right now
to hold on to his job. He's not going to
be able to. The socialist wing of the Democratic Party
is slowly taking over, and they're going to push him out.
Speaking of socialists, or in mom Donnie the socialist mayor
electus who wants to make the city more affordable for

(01:32):
struggling New Yorkers. At least that's what he claimed, that's
what he ran on. Still needs more money from those
same struggling New Yorkers. He wants four million dollars of
your money for his transition.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
I hope very soon not to have to ask you
for money, But until then, I'm asking for you to
go to Transition twenty twenty five dot com and give
whatever you can to help with the New York that
everyone can afford. This is your city and I can't
wait to get to work.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
That's what it's going to be like for four years.
He's gonna want your money to pay for, you know,
the free things. Mayor Adams wraps up his trip to
Israel and is now on to Uzbekistan. But New York
and the mayor elect is always on his mind.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
If I was a Jewish New Yorker with children, I
would be concerned right now.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I'll be concerned right now.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
And that's something we should not normalize and it should
not be accepted, and I'm not willing to accept it.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Orders our Tom home and promises major ice raids in
New York before Mom Donnie has even sworn in.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
So we're gonna becoming New York sit We're already there now.
I mean teams are there now. But we were increasing
enforcement present in New York City again because of Sanctuary city,
and we know we have an issue. There are public
state to try to sit in the street every time.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Now we bring in Vicki Palladino, new York City council
member represents District nineteen of Northeast Queens with us every
Wednesday at this time. Let me ask you a question.
Have you ever eaten it? Carlos Bakery?

Speaker 6 (03:06):
Oh man, you gotta take good morning.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
By the way, good morning to you. You gotta good morning.
I'm sitting here Carlos Bakery. Uh there, you know he's
the guy that is the is the cake What do
you call him? The cake cake Boss, the cake Boss
on TV, the cake Boss.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (03:26):
Now, if you mentioned it like that, I might have Yes,
I might have had his. I might have had it
because whenever I do something, somebody brings me and then
all this from the cake Boss. I go the cake Boss.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
Very nice.

Speaker 7 (03:37):
No, I've never had it.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Oh I have. I have an apple pie parfe in
front of me right now, and it is the best
thing I have ever eaten in my life. I'm not
a big cake person, but I love pies. You aren't either.
Oh this apple pie? I wish you were here, would give.

Speaker 7 (03:54):
You one, and I'd be happy to set and a
piece of apple pie. Hey, Thanksgiving in ten days. Okay,
let's cook in the IRI. How's it going.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
It's going pretty well for me. It's gonna go really
well for talk radio because we have something to talk
about over the next four years. But let's not talk
about zorin Mam Donnie for a second, because we all
know what to expect from him. The problem is there's
no gate because it seems the city council is worse
than Mom Donnie, so there's gonna be no filter. Anymore.

(04:27):
There's no mayor to stop the city council. There's no
city council to stop the mayor. It's going to be
a socialist city. I know.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
And this is like, you know what I found out
for sure. As I've said before, you know, we are
eighteen in the Progressive Caucus and that is now increased
to twenty two, so out of fifty one. That's just
something to be extremely concerned about. And I when we
talked about even during the mayor's run, that how these

(04:59):
con are. My council keeps the rain on the mayor.
So this guy is their dream, so they're going to
do whatever he wants. And we've got some legislation coming
up about the Bread and Breakfast turning your home into
a Bread and Breakfast.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Let me jump in for a second because we just
got breaking news and I don't want you to react
to this. Jessica Tish has announced she's going to stay
on as police commissioner.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
I just read that also, right before Natalie gave me
the buzz to click in. I was reading the Post article.
I'm friendly with Jessica Tick. She's lovely, she's wonderful, She's
been good at her job. For me as a council member,
to have someone from the prior administration still around is

(05:47):
extremely important, and especially to have the police commissioner. You know,
we were kind of floating. We're not sure who the
new commissioners are going to be. This is a slam dunk.
Here's the question. How long is Jessica going to stay?
Don't know? Is she going to stay on for three
months and be transitional because she's gonna be on tough road.

(06:12):
She's got a guy who doesn't believe in police as mayor,
it's obvious he wants to disband the police. Will she
be able to put her finger in the damn and
stop him from doing that? Is he going to be
able to be controlled in that way?

Speaker 6 (06:28):
Now?

Speaker 7 (06:29):
Remember he's with Linda Sousaur. He's got everything pushing him
to stick to his people, to make him stick to
his DSA agenda. She won't stand for that and she
will leave. But if she took this on and said
yes right now, I think that's awesome for us as

(06:50):
the City of New York. I know it's great for
me personally in District nineteen. I'm looking forward to it.
But she cannot be forced to and I don't think
she can be at all.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
No, I agree with you. Yeah, let me tell you, Becky.
Here's what I think happened here. Here's because I fully
expected her to leave. I did not think she was
gonna eat this job. And it seemed that way, didn't it.
It seemed that way, especially after the meeting when there
was no resolution. After the meeting, she must have received
some promises about how things are and how things will stay.

(07:25):
If that is the case, this is one and I'm
not sure that's true. But if that is the case,
this is great for New York City.

Speaker 7 (07:33):
It's terrific for New York City. It's terrific for all
of us. But here is my worry. Is he good
for his word? I don't know. That seems like an
oxymoron to me at this point. But Jessica's smart and
she knows exactly what she's doing. So I think it
went more towards yes. I will stay after much negotiation

(07:57):
only if. But if you cross that line, I'm out.
And that's what I fear can happen because she can't
go against her cops. He can't, you know, And he
wants to sit up. He wants to set up what's
known as this community safety department, which is separate from

(08:19):
the police department, which is made up of all his
own people, separate from the cops.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
They're they're they're on the other end on everything. Vickay,
it's not just that. I mean, that's what I don't
get that. That's how I don't understand how this works.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
Well, I'd like to be the fly on that wall.
I'd like to be the fly on the wall. So
maybe what I will do is I will shoot Jessica
a congratulations text with a question mark, and uh, you know,
maybe I could get more information and find out. You know,
but she she'll play things close to the vest. Right now.

(08:59):
He might have taken on this position to protect your cops,
to try to be a firewall that's between him and
the cops. How that's gonna work, I don't know. When
you've got the likes of every radical left wing lunatic
out there pushing him to do and remember donated to

(09:21):
his campaign big money. So you know we're gonna hear
the sound of the prayer horn five times a day?
Are they going to be allowed to protest? Because she
fought against that. You know, she set your cops in.
She took care of that. When the Columbia Universities and
all the universities were protesting, she stood up against that.

(09:42):
She's also of the Jewish faith. So I don't know.
I mean, there's a lot of things. Yes from Jeff
had to have brings attached to it because she's too smart,
not too The whole thing is is he going to
stick to that?

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, we're all gonna find out together, Vic, But I'm
glad you were here for us to talk about it
as this story broke. I appreciate a counselwoman, Vicki Palladino
with us every Wednesday at ed O five. Talk to
you next week, Vicky. Thanks take Thanksgiving Dinner is coming
up and a new poll was out on one of
the most taboo topics at the Thanksgiving table. Plus take

(10:18):
us to see air supply. Stay with us. Well, just
minutes after we talk with former police Commissioner Bill Bratton
about Jessica Tish possibly staying on as police commissioner, she
announced she's staying on, and the former police Commissioner, Bill
Bratton was kind enough to make himself available again to react,
so without any further Ado Commissioner, first of all, thank you,

(10:42):
and what is your reaction.

Speaker 6 (10:44):
Well, I think like Motionaka's relief that a decision has
been made and release that this is the decision that
she obviously has had several meetings, according to the news report,
with the mayor elect, and they have come to find
common ground, as we talked about, neverally, even of you.
It'll be interesting as to what that common ground is
common cause, and certainly the members of the police department,

(11:08):
the unions will be very happy. I think the majority
of the public, majority of you in the medium. Those
that might not be so happy. A lot of the
mayor lex supporters who were are opposed to But again,
I think he's looking out for the best interests over
all of the city and it's its many residents.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
You know Jessica Tash very well. Do you believe that
she drew a red line and said, I can't do this.
I can't give on this, I can't give on this.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
I would have to assume that there were negotiations and
that there was some coming together in the sense of
her concerns, his priorities. I've counseled that I would hope
that the mayor elect has got a lot of things
on his plate leave her to Alon the police department.
She's been doing a great job. Crime is down, the
sort of is down. There were three new threats that

(11:58):
are emerging very rapidly, aidr own concerns around major events,
and immigration. Mister Trump has been talking about bringing his
immigration forces to New York. So I think the mayor
probably figured that this was not the time to change
horses in midstream. Go with somebody that's proven that she

(12:19):
can run the department, and Jesse is as symbol of
a great team, and it's given more leeway to get
rid of some of the Adams holdovers and bring on
some of the talent that she'd like to bring on.
It could be a very good few months ahead.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah, I think it's a very good thing from New York.
And I know you have to be careful of what
you say, but I believe that they are so far
apart on policing that she would have only stayed if
she was promised that she could run the department and
keep certain things in place.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
And she was able to deal with mister Adams with
his constant intrusions into the department. So she's used to
a mayor that has been very engaged with the police department.
This new mayor elect may be less engaged. He has
no law enforcement background, unlike mister Adamson. Effectively, he might

(13:11):
actually leave her alone more than mister Adams did. So
that would.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
Although he does seem to be obsessed with the police
department in a.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Bad way, well in some respects, but he's got a
lot of other priorities. His free buses and rent control issues,
the education issues, his budget deficits of That's what I'm
saying that leave her at her on the department for
a while while he sorts out some of his other priorities.
There'll be time to work in some of his other issues,
even his community Affairs office that he wants to create. Uh,

(13:43):
that's the creation of a whole new bureaucracy that doesn't
happen overnight, takes time, takes legislative authority in the city Council,
et cet. So, No, he's got a pretty full plate.
Jesse has proven that she can handle her plate and
handle it very well. So as much as I think
of her, and I think a lot offer this is

(14:05):
good news from my perspective.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh, I understand you're going to meet with her a
little bit later today, please.

Speaker 6 (14:10):
Pass she is scheduled to be at an event, is
you aviciente lated state that I'm attending that the as
IS Conference, which is a conference of basically private security.
But my successor, Jimmy O'Neill is the KENO speaker, and
I believe Jesse was slated to attend that. Hopefully she'll
be there. That she's usually a very good event.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, but please pass along the big sigh of relief
from the city and from us and our listeners. And
it's wonderful news. Thank you so much for jumping back
on former Police Commissioner Bill Bretton. Yeah, I really appreciate it.
Thank you, sir.

Speaker 6 (14:45):
All the best.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Now let's get to Jacquelinekarl with the eight thirty News.

Speaker 8 (14:49):
Jacqueline hay lari As you were just talking about Mayor
leg Zarnmond Donnie today announce the appointment of Commissioner Jessica
Tish to serve as the New York City Police Commissioner
and his incoming administration. And there's a key vote tonight
on a contract extension for school bus companies that transport
New York City students.

Speaker 9 (15:07):
The Panel for Educational Policies vote on a three year
contract comes after last month's emergency extension with the school
bus companies. That's because of their threat to halt service
to one hundred and fifty thousand students, many of which
are disabled and homeless. Parents and students have been demanding
better service, though, and have found a large number of
complaints to the Department of Education. They would like to
see that addressed before the companies are given a new contract.

(15:30):
I'm scappringleo WRDWS.

Speaker 8 (15:32):
So this next story begs the question, can you unfreeze
your wife?

Speaker 6 (15:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (15:39):
According to the BBC, a moral debate has ignited after
a Chinese man who had his wife cryogenically frozen found
love with someone else. G Jin Moon Jin Minh decided
to have his wife z On frozen in twenty seventeen
after she passed away from cancer. It was said to
be quote a sign of devotion and came known as

(16:00):
the country's first ever cryogenically frozen person. But in a
recent interview, Jin men revealed he's had a partner that
he's been seeing since twenty twenty three short years later.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
What that.

Speaker 8 (16:11):
Chinese social media has been the source of hot and
heavy debate on the predicament with many wondering why he
didn't just let go, at another saying that jin Men
appears to be dedicated only to himself. I'm not understanding
the plan here. Did they think that one day they
figure out how to bring her back? What do you
think about that?

Speaker 1 (16:28):
That is the whole thing. I've been to a cryogenics
lab one time. I was sent there on his story
out in Arizona, and there's people, you know, people come
to visit. They come to visit their frozen former mate.
All the time. You can go in.

Speaker 8 (16:43):
Did you see them?

Speaker 1 (16:45):
No, you can't see them, And some of them it's
just parts of them that they feel that they can
genetically re engineer and put back together. But there were
some of them. They had oscars in front of them,
and I mean it was famous people.

Speaker 10 (16:57):
So I guess it's like visiting a cemetery.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
It is, it is. But yeah, no, so, I uh,
I don't believe in any of that. I don't believe
they're ever gonna be able to tape bring somebody back.
But there's always hope, I guess.

Speaker 8 (17:10):
Yeah, But by the time that happens, you're gonna be gone.

Speaker 10 (17:12):
Who's gonna freeze?

Speaker 8 (17:13):
You think about I love the way.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
She said, who's gonna freeze you?

Speaker 11 (17:22):
Lauren?

Speaker 8 (17:23):
I didn't mean you, Larry. I meant like you, like,
who's gonna freeze this guy? This husband? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:28):
No, but I get it if I get your first point,
who is gonna freeze me?

Speaker 8 (17:31):
See?

Speaker 11 (17:31):
You know, maybe you won't be able to bring back
the frozen person, but at the point where DNA can
cloning come into the fact, they'll be able to then
extract the DNA and.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
Maybe make a simile of the Well, maybe eventually you'll
be able to get the brain cells and memories back.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
We got to start writing these down, Jacqueline. These are
horror movies waiting to happen. And why I have seen
these movies so white tell me back would be a
horror movie. Yes, you're read exactly.

Speaker 8 (18:01):
It's been done. Stephen King's been there.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh that's much different than this. That's bringing somebody back
from the cryogenics. Nobody's done it, I don't think, no, no.

Speaker 8 (18:10):
But movies and books have kind of done like been
there with that.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh see, that's that's the opinion of somebody who doesn't
want to get started on their great horror movie right there. Congratulations,
Thanks a Lot Jacqueline. Congratulations to Jess Seagull from Hewlett,

(18:37):
dot com. Another chance to win tomorrow at eight twenty five. Well,
are real Christmas trees making a comeback? We're gonna find
out from ABC News. Correspond to Jim Ryan when we
get back. And you can also celebrate the season with
the iHeartRadio Holidays Special one night to get you in

(18:59):
the Holidays spirit with the exclusive performances from the Goo
Goo Dolls, Gwen Stefani, Lady A, Meghan Trainer, and Pentatonics.
Listen to the show Wednesday, November twenty sixth at seven
o'clock on Holiday Seasons Radio on our free iHeartRadio app.
So when do you start looking for a Christmas tree?

(19:21):
Some people try to get it up for Thanksgiving, and
then the other question is are you an artificial tree person?
Do you have your tree right now in the attic
or down in the basement or do you like to
go out and get a real tree. Well, apparently real
trees are making a comeback. And for more on that,
let's go to Jim Ryan, ABC News correspondent in Dallas. Jim, so,

(19:45):
tell us about this. How do you know so far
that these trees are making a comeback?

Speaker 12 (19:51):
Well, I mean it's anecdotal at this point. And according
to the American Christmas Tree Association, which deals not with
natural trees but with arti official ones, eighty three percent
of the households planning to display a Christmas tree will
choose an artificial one. But you're looking at prices for
those trees that are going up about twenty percent on average.

(20:11):
A lot of it has to do with the tariffs
that have gone into effect. We know that eighty seven
percent of the Christmas decorations that we have in this
country have come from China, and of course the tariffs
that are in effect there are driving up the cost
of things coming from Asia. Artificial Christmas trees is about
a twenty percent increase just general Christmas decorations about thirty

(20:33):
percent higher this year than last.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Larry, what do you do artificial or real?

Speaker 12 (20:38):
Artificial? But as a kid, I remember very well, you know,
going out to the tree low down the street and
tying it to the car and bringing it on home
and decorating it. But I mean, I think for the
last decade or so, at least according to this Christmas
Tree Association, people have been going toward artificial. First of all, Larry,
I think because they look really convincing these days.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, they do, But most people don't go and get
an The reason you get an artificial tree is so
you can have it year after year after year after
year after How old is yours? Oh?

Speaker 12 (21:09):
Gosh see six years now? By the way, when it
starts losing and when the when the lights that were
on it when we bought it, when they started going out,
I just string new lights around it. Right, It's kind
of a step out and at some point I'll just
give up and buy a new one. But yeah, you
can keep it going for several years that.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh oh we lost them. That usually happens when they
plug in the tree, all the electricity goes out in
the house. Wasn't that in the Christmas the.

Speaker 10 (21:39):
Vacation, Well, yeah, that was the outside lights neighborhood. Do
you do we have a real tree?

Speaker 11 (21:44):
Still, I've been fighting to do artificial, but nobody in
my family wants that.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
So, you know, artificials of pain in the neck. We
got artificial. Decided we weren't going to do this every
single year. We got artificial, and then you have to
unpack it, you have to put it back. Yeah, there
you go. We were just talking about artificial trees and
what a pain in the neck they can be. But
yours seems like you've been using it for years.

Speaker 12 (22:09):
Well, yeah, they will last for a long time. Here's
and of course, you know the price of natural Christmas
trees this year, it's been a pretty good growing season
in the places where they're growing. North Carolina and Oregon
are the top producers in this country, and so the
price will be about what it was last year. Some
growers are saying they'll be a little cheaper. You know
how you can get a tree either for free or

(22:30):
maybe first little as five dollars.

Speaker 10 (22:32):
That go to your neighbor's houses chop it down.

Speaker 12 (22:37):
Well, you can go to Recreation dot gov and apply
for a permit. Now New York State doesn't have any
national forest where you can do this, but you can
go out to Green Mountain National Forest. You can go
over to White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire. You
can actually cut down your own tree. You have to
be in a designated area. You have to have a permit,
but you can actually go cut one on a national.

Speaker 8 (22:59):
Forest and don't charge you.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
They do charge you, Oh okay.

Speaker 12 (23:04):
Charge you five bucks. Wow, don't charge anything at all.
So yeah, you may get a little tiny charge, but
that's about it.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
The gas to New Hampshire.

Speaker 11 (23:14):
You know what I'm waiting for. I'm waiting for the
crew for the house I can have that has a
Christmas room. I just shut it down for the summer
and then just open it back up and everything's still there.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
God bless you for doing the artificial tree. And do
you have to put it back together every year? Jim?

Speaker 12 (23:33):
Oh yeah, but it's easier, easier every year. You know,
it's just three sections, the base and then you put
the next one. It fits into it. The electric is
already connected, and then the upper piece.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
And okay, yeah it looks good. We're just lazy. Long
the problem is in our house, we're just lazy. We
have an artificial tree. It's down in the basement. We
used it one year. We don't want to put it
back together again. So we like to just call and
have a tree delivered and the guy puts it up
for us.

Speaker 7 (23:58):
See.

Speaker 11 (23:58):
Now, I didn't even know that as possible. I didn't
know I could call somebody have the tree delivered, and
they literally put it up in my house. No, we go,
you know, find the tree we want. Everybody argues, I
want this one, I want that one.

Speaker 10 (24:12):
We finally settle on one, one of the cheapest one. Oh, exactly,
because you know what, once they're all decorated, you can't
tell the difference.

Speaker 8 (24:18):
I've learned that.

Speaker 10 (24:19):
And then when I get home, my husband puts it
up and I wait to decorate.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
So that's what we do.

Speaker 11 (24:24):
But can you do all the decorating, usually by myself
because everybody that the spirit's gone and they've all left me.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yes, well, look, let me get back. I'm fascinated by
this chopping down your own tree. Is that become popular?
And do they are there certain trees you're allowed to
I'm certain there must be certain trees you're allowed to
chop down? Is that right? We lose him again?

Speaker 10 (24:50):
I think we did, now, I know.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I think he's just sick of the conversation. He's a
news guy. You notice all I kept trying to steer
us back to the story.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
I know a lot of.

Speaker 11 (24:58):
People who do go down and chop chop their own
trees down. I don't know if it's a National forest.
I think they're tree farms. But if there's somebody's out
there has ever done it, leave us a talkback.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Is going to charge you a lot? They do, I know,
but I'm saying this. The National Forest is five bucks.

Speaker 10 (25:13):
I'm shocked at this. I've never heard about it.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
You know, I'm cheap enough where I'll take a long
drive to chopped out a tree. I'm saying that until
I get to the chopping park, and then I'll say that,
let's just order what again? Is there a good restaurant nearby?
I would love to hear what your experience is with
Christmas trees and what you like to use. Please give
us a talk back. You go to the iHeartRadio app,

(25:37):
look for seven to ten wor the talkback section, and
then we will share all of the Christmas tree stories.
Want to make extra cash this holiday season? New York
City Sanitation Department will pay you to rat on illegal dumpsters.
And speaking of rats, have you seen many lately? Nope?

(26:00):
Wars Natalie mcgleori gets the beat on the street next.

Speaker 8 (26:05):
Now it's sevent ten wars Beat on the Street with
Natalie Migliori.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Natalie mcgliori is on trash Detail today looking for people
that all rat on illegal dumpers and where are all
the rats? Natalie mgliori gets the Beat on the Street.
Good morning Natalie, Good morning Larry.

Speaker 7 (26:26):
You know it's starting to be the holiday season. If
you want to make a little extra cash, you can
maybe rat on your neighbor. The Department of Sanitation is
reminding New Yorkers they can make some extra money by
reporting people who illegally dump on city sidewalks, highways, or
really anywhere. So I went out to see if New

(26:47):
Yorkers are willing to rat on their fellow community members
and neighbors for kay day.

Speaker 10 (26:54):
I actually have good neighbors, so in this situation, I.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Want to I wouldn't write nobody for no money snitch.

Speaker 13 (27:00):
What depends on what would they right on their neighbors
with cash?

Speaker 1 (27:03):
I'm sure everybody would.

Speaker 3 (27:05):
Yeah, No, it's actually not my style. No, I don't
think I would do that. I mean, I have a
really bad neighbor, to be honest, but I still wouldn't
do that.

Speaker 7 (27:13):
I find something else to do you're right a left neighbor,
the one across the street.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Definitely across. I've a lot of good neighbors in my building,
so they get to.

Speaker 13 (27:20):
Pass everywhere, right, left, top, bottom, everywhere.

Speaker 7 (27:26):
Now some people change their minds once I told them.
The Department of Sanitation is trying to root out illegal dumpers,
which is specifically when someone gets out of their vehicle
to get rid of garbage. A lot of the times
they see construction or landscaping DeBras.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
First depends on the neighbor, and definitely, because I'll be
driving this trash. What the hell it's just messed up.

Speaker 13 (27:48):
That would be a waste of time because nothing will
get done. Nothing will get done. I can write on
my neighbor, but they don't mean nothing. It's gonna stop.
If one neighbor doesn't do it, then there'll be somebody
else that will.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
I try to mind my own. You know, I may
not like the person, but I don't think. I don't
think I still do that. Then may be repercussions to
that as well.

Speaker 7 (28:05):
Oh that fuck has?

Speaker 13 (28:06):
It depends how.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Much are you paying?

Speaker 6 (28:10):
Ah?

Speaker 7 (28:11):
Well, it got a little curious there. The Department of
Sanitation says you could either report the illegal dumping via
an online app to David and submit a video or
some sort of proof that you've seen it. The other
is simply by tipping off the city and then catching
the person. Either way, you could make up to fifty
percent of defining the city collects from the dumper that's caught.

(28:32):
Some people believe the tip program will help keep the
city tidy, but it could be hard to catch offenders.

Speaker 13 (28:39):
That's part of the problem. Yeah, they have a lot
of people that are that do stuff like that. So
a lot of times, you know, you never you never
know who's leaving, who's dumping track, and who isn't you
just know you got nasty people who they just don't care.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
I'm pretty sure that it possibly can. I don't see
why not, but I think ultimately, I mean, it's the
super who's you know, responsible for making sure that things
are in order, that the garbage is being processed correctly.

Speaker 7 (29:04):
But of course there is no super on the side
of the road if you've got an illegal dumper. So
we'll really see how that happens.

Speaker 8 (29:10):
Then.

Speaker 7 (29:10):
You know, anytime we talk about trash or we talk
trash in New York City. You got to ask people
how we're doing with the rats, especially after the city's
rats are Catherine Karate left her posts earlier this year.

Speaker 10 (29:23):
I actually, you haven't seen any rats, honestly less.

Speaker 13 (29:27):
And where I'm going and where I'm at at the time,
I don't know. Maybe rats around someplace felt better to go.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
I've seen in the past, obviously, but as of late,
I mean here where I work, I haven't seen much
at all within the last year or two.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
I'm sure they're still out there, though not too much rats.
You know, it's too much rats. There's more rats than restaurants,
you know, yeah, more rats than people. I'm serious. And
the rats is brave. They'll come towards you. They not running.
You know, when I used to see rats they run
away from you. They not even running no more.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
But you see cat rats, like cat size rats, like
black cats. You'll see them in a rat form. It's
nasty and their tails huge too.

Speaker 7 (30:02):
You could only imagine my face when that guy was
describing how big of a rat he's scene.

Speaker 8 (30:06):
Larry, So there you have it.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
I mean, people, I got some pretty good New Yorker,
some loyal New Yorkers here, Larry who really wouldn't rent
on their neighbors even if they don't like them. I
don't know. I kind of like the drama. I might
be going and rent on the neighbor if I find
a little bit of a legal dumping over he well.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Really, you'd be the snitch. You'd be the neighborhood snitch.
You know.

Speaker 7 (30:31):
I don't really have time for it, but hey, if
there might see the fine is like fifteen thousand dollars, Larry,
and you can make fifty percent off of that. That's
seven thousand dollars. You like, that's like how many months
of rent for some people.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
You know. That's a good point. That's true. Maybe el
snitch too, that's not a bad point. Let's talk about
the rats for a second. Have you seen a lot
of rats these days? I don't see them anymore.

Speaker 7 (30:56):
I do see them, but maybe that's the hours that
I'm out. You know, I'm out walking around at like
five thirty six o'clock on the streets, and I've seen
some pretty big rats and they're fast. I feel like
they're getting fast.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
To Larry, did you chase them?

Speaker 7 (31:09):
Yeah? I do, because I try to get them on
video to show you, to show you, to show you
that they're out there and they just scurry away from me.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Oh god, i'd love to see that. Natalie Migliore is
going to be back tomorrow morning at eight fifty. Thanks Natalie.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
