Speaker 1 (00:00):
Larry Mentee, he's got more of what New York needs
now Minty in the morning on seventor.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I just heard Gray Stangeic talking about a chance of
thunderstorms tonight. It's a beautiful day. Let's just accept that
it's going to be a really nice day tonight's tonight.
But I want one nice day. I want to enjoy
one nice day. It's going to be, you know, almost
ninety degrees in the high eighties today, So yeah, there's
(00:34):
rain coming tonight or the possibility of a passing thunderstorm tonight,
but enjoy the day. In the Big Three, the first
New York My yor Old debate turned into the Andrew
Cuomo roast.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Personal regrets.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Question was about your personal regret in your nun's politics.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
I said, I regret the state of the Democratic Party is.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
No person Trump's when it comes to cutting medicaidor healthcare.
No regrets when it comes to cutting child care, no
regrets when it comes to slow walking PPE and vaccinations
in the season of COVID to black and brown communities.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Really no regrets.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
That was City Council President Adrian Adams, but he took
incoming from everybody, and Zori and Mandani basically skated through.
It's almost like it was the Zori Mamdani gang ganging
up on Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani took a couple of shots,
nothing like Cuomo. He was like a pinata at a
kid's party. Laura Curran is coming up and going to
(01:36):
talk about that in just a couple of minutes. The
Trump administration is threatening Columbia University's accreditation for allowing anti
Semitic behavior on campus, and that affects one of the
mayoral candidates in the debate last night.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
My daughter is one of them in college right now.
My wife and children are Jewish. This is personal to me,
but I am and these mobs.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Let's be clear.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
We're incited by activists like the Democratic Socialists of America.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
That's Whitney Tilson, and I bet most of you didn't
even know he was running until last night's debate. The
FBI is making it crystal clear that it is investigating
the attack on Jews in Boulder, Colorado as a terrorist attack.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
We're not the Federal Bureau of freaking word games anymore. Okay,
it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's Dan Bongino. Now they are calling it a hate crime,
hate crime in Boulder, Colorado locally, but Bongino says it
is being investigated as a terrorist attack and may be
charged accordingly. A handful of conservative senators are concerned about
the big, beautiful bill, and they're talking about starting over.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
We don't have time for.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
A branded bill, and I want Elan.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And all my friends to recognize the complexity of what
we've accomplished here, this extraordinary us of legislation.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Now, when the bill was in trouble in the House,
Donald Trump made a personal appearance. You can expect that
to happen in the Senate now. And Karine Jean Pierre
has a new book out trying to now distance herself
from not only President Biden but the Democratic Party. Karen,
we remember what you did.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Do you believe that the president is as sharp today
as he was when he took this job slowed down?
Speaker 8 (03:29):
What I can say is this is a president who
is strong and resolute in delivering for the American people.
That's what I see. He is as sharp as as
ever as I have known him to be in my engagement,
in my experience with him.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Uh huh sure. Now the book isn't out to the fall,
but it sounds like she wants to distance herself from
the Biden cover up as much as she can. That
will be investigated by both Congress now and the Justice Department.
And with all all of that, now, let's get the
Laura Kurran, political commentator and former NASA County executive. Good morning, Lauren, Laura,
(04:10):
good morning.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Because it's Laura Curran sort of you know, you blend
it together, it's Lauren.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah. No, it's like I should get Laura right every
single time. But how about how about last night? What's
your takeaway?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Well?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I listened instead of watch, which I always I always
feel I can pay attention better if I'm not distracted
by the visual. And it really seems to me like
everyone was ready. Everyone brought their a game. I think,
real service for voters. Moderators, great on time, on task,
you know some one of the moderators which was so
(04:47):
you know, yeah, these really short answers one minute thirty seconds,
and everyone was ready to go. Obviously everyone attacking the
front runner, Andrew Cuomo, so they were all ready with
their attacks and a little size and that sort of thing.
I thought he comported himself well, he kept his cool,
which is really important when you have eight people coming
at you. I think it's important to stay calm, answer
(05:09):
what you can, jab where you can, but don't let
it get you flustered, which is exactly what he did.
And the other surprise was Tilson. You mentioned that earlier,
Whitney Tiltson. I think you're right. A lot of people
saw him for the first time, and I'm sure around
New York City Google searchers were lighting up for this
Whitney Tilten guy. Who is he? Because he was interesting
and he seemed very much like a non politician. He
just talked like a normal guy. And it'll be interesting
(05:32):
to see if this debate increases his visibility.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know, it's weird how they stage this because in
the presidential debates it goes by poll numbers, So whoever's
leading in the polls is right there front and center.
And Andrew Cuomo was front and center, but then Whitney
Tilson was right next to him. I mean, that's a
prime spot. I just can't figure out how they settle that.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I wondered that too. I wondered about the placement of it.
And I mean, usually in a debate of that size,
you have one or three candidates who are dominating the floor.
You didn't really have that last night everyone. I think
voters really got a chance to see what each of
these voters was like in terms of just their vibe
(06:17):
and their aura and their personality, but also their policies,
what's important to them, what they're emphasizing in their campaigns.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What I saw was a group of far left liberal
politicians ganging up on the moderate in the race. And
it concerns me because I think that that's orchestrated. I
think they Yeah, we've seen at news conferences they're all together,
and so, I mean it keeps looking like we have
(06:46):
a real possibility of a Mayor Zamdani.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
It is a fact that they are all ganging up
on Cuomo. But I think what is good for Cuomo
is there are so many of them, there is rank
choice voting. I know they're all kind of playing the
survivor game of aligning with a certain team. Just vote
for these three people to put me at the top.
I know that's what mom Donnie's doing. I've seen some
(07:12):
of his stuff. But I think they're just gonna end
up cannibalizing each other. And you know, a lot and
I think CMO will be a lot of people's number
two if he's not their number one, So I think
I think this only helps Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You know, it's funny. I watched it on YouTube and
the Mamdani people were very active on YouTube. So I
was watching the comments to the side, and one of
the comments constantly, and it was always in bold letters
from several different people is don't rank Cuomo if you
vote for Zamdanmi, don't rank Cuomo at all. And that
(07:47):
was constant. It was a constant thread, and I thought
to myself, Wow, that is well orchestrated, because I didn't
see anybody else on there doing that. It seems like
this candidates that he's running mostly on the internet with
videos and on YouTube, has been really effective and the
other candidates need to catch up.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, and this will you know, this could do something
with the youth vote, people who are very online. But
remember the majority of voters are not. They're working, they're
raising their families, they're riding the subway, they're doing what
they got to do to get through the day. Not
a lot of people have the luxury of time to
spend that amount of time online or thanks frankly have
the interest to and Cuomo has a has a big
(08:31):
appeal in vast swats of the city with older folks,
with the with the black community, uh, you know, with
with working people. So he's got a lot of union support.
So this could this could you know, I mean, we
do see Momdani surging. He is doing well in the polls.
He is doing better in the polls. This campaign is
his campaign is very well organized, you know, in a
(08:51):
way that socialist organizers are well organized. But I do
think in the end there will be a cannibalizing effect
of far further to the left candidates.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well, I hope you're right, because I listened to the
Emerson polster who said, among likely voters, now we saw
on like the tenth ballot he loses finally by nine
to Cuomo. But he said, among likely voters, they're tie.
They're tie on the on the tenth ballot. So everybody
seems to be saying, oh, don't worry about it, don't
worry about it. He's going to fade. He's going to fade.
(09:22):
He's not fading, And.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
No he's not.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
He's surging, and you have to be worried about it. Honestly,
if you do not want him to be the mayor,
this is something that you should be very concerned about
and get out the vote for your candidate, whoever you
think that is.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, I just hope that message gets out because so
far he just keeps rising and I think it'd be
horrible for the city and nobody and the media has
not paid enough attention and not asked them the right questions,
like how are you possibly going to pay for all
of this?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You know, if I live in the city, you know,
I'm in Nassau County, I would ask myself who is
the one with the record of actually running and managing
and building things. If you've been a legislator for a
short period of time, you don't have that kind of experience.
You know, it is very challenging. You have headwinds constantly,
and you can't It's not just a cute little slogan
(10:11):
or a punchy little line. You got to actually manage
and run things. And I think a lot of people
when they look at that see Cuomo, even if they're
not in love with the guy. He's built things, He's
gotten things, and he's managed crises. And I thought he
had a compelling case about who can stand up to
Trump's the best.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, that's interesting. I do think he has a ceiling
and that's what worries me. But let's talk again. We'll
talk again next week. Loura, current political commentator and former
NASA County executive. Thank you, Laura.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Oh you're welcome. Bye bye.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Would you use beef fat as a sunscreen? Of course not? Well,
guess what, it's a real thing, and we'll talk about
it next.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
The iHeartRadio app now has presets set one to double
uor to hear Larry live, and another to hear his
podcast anytime. Now back to Miny in the morning on
wor Well, let's.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Talk back time. Thank you so much for your talkbacks.
You always add to the conversation.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
He jp lies, lies and more lies should be the
name of her book.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
She's full of donkey dust. Donkey dust.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
I never heard a donkey dust, Larry never heard a
donkey dust. I was worried that maybe it'd had some
submeaning that I shouldn't put it on the air, but
we looked it up.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Apparently not, but that might be in my new phrase,
donkey dust.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I love that right. We got malarkey and donkey dust today.
Speaker 9 (11:35):
So they say you could use it instead of saying BS.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yes, yeah, yeah, it's a fun way. It's it's actually
a tremendous phrase. I'm going to use it all the time.
I like it better than malarkey, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Is it me?
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Or does anybody see the similarity between AI and terminated
to and skynet?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
The machines are taken over, We're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yes, we all do, yes?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And why are we laughing about it? It's not funny?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, I know, I know you laugh or cry. John
Stewart has a great line about this. He says, you know,
when the last words of civilization are gonna be, they're
gonna come from a lab somewhere and it's going to
be a scientist going who it worked, that's good? Be
the end of civilization? Yeah, no, it's this is going
a bad place. It's gone. And everybody knew, everybody talked
(12:27):
about it. Everybody wanted to put restrictions on it. Nobody did,
and so no nice knowing you larry my ex wife.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Kidnappers, so they say, are now demanding tickets.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
They keep pupping the ante.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
What can I do please help me yesterday shirt.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes, it is the exact same thing as does he
say his X let me play it again.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
X x Y Larry my ex wife X kidnappers, So
they say, are.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Now demanding tickets. You feel unbelievable. They keep upping the ante.
I thought it was, can I do please help me?
Speaker 9 (13:08):
I mean just the fact that he wants to help
his ex sary.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I just don't hear my name? Oh boy, Yeah no,
I mean he's desperate for these tickets. Okay, but it's
his ex wife. But that's okay, she's still get get
the authorities involved. It's not it's not your problem anymore.
That's why she's your ex.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Maybe it's the mother of his children.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I was thinking the same thing, but hey, well that's different.
Well there you go, then they should help.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
How about this, would you use be fat as a sunscreen?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, it sounds like it would fry my skin?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well a lot of people like that, I mean a
lot of people do. There just that reason thematologist right,
exactly right. Remember the old days when people put oil on.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
The baby oil?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yep? Yeah, Well. A photo of a billboard for beef
tallow sunscreen by a brand called Primary Pure has people,
of course, doing a double take when they see the billboard.
Along with a photo of the product. The ad reads
poison free SPF with tallow and next to the ad
there's a blonde woman under the text that read the
(14:26):
sun isn't poison, but your sunscreen is. So I guess
they're trying to get rid of the chemicals in the sunscreen.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Yeah, but some dermatologists are also saying, hey, guys, you know,
where's your sunscreen? The sun is poison to your skin,
you know, if you're not protected and just wear sunscreen.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
So they're not so into this.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
But this is not nearly as offensive as a billboard
you saw.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Was the worst.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
So apparently Connecticut is going after New York pizza. So
we've all heard about this, you know, debate on who
has the best pizza as a Connecticut is in New York.
But blah blah blah. Well, this morning I saw one
of the billboards up. I didn't think it was true,
but it is. It says the nation crazy enough, it's
(15:15):
right under a pizzeria, this poor pizzaa. I guess it's
good for the pizzeria, but it says the nation's best pizza,
not you New York, Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I didn't even know Connecticut was in the company.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Oh yeah, new Haven.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
New Haven is supposed to have a lot of good pizza,
and I know we got a lot of Connecticut to
people out there, and I haven't had it for myself.
I personally love pizza from Staten Island.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But you know, if you did a poll across the country,
they'd say New York. Of course I did a poll
across the country. But Connecticut's not going to get in
this game.
Speaker 9 (15:44):
Well, they've been trying for a long time, and now
they're spending money on billboards.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, all I heard about is this place in Jersey
City that I'm dying. Now you're telling me I can't
even get in there. No raza, and it's that jammed
up that you have to get man for a pizza.
I'll keep trying.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Minty in the Morning continues, It's Larry Minty on the
Voice of New York.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Well we all know. Steve Gutenberg is a great comedy
actor in The Police, Academy Film Academy Films, and Three
Men and a Baby. He's an actor, producer, director, author.
He is a businessman. He has a star in the
Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he has a new project
coming out. And so if you remember him in Police Academy,
(16:33):
if you remember him in Three Men and a Baby,
this is nothing like that, Uncle John. I want to
know the truth. I owe you a story.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
John.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I've been a suspect of four murders. I don't know
what do you think you're gonna find here? You did
something to those women. It made some mistakes in my life.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
He's not going to stop until somebody stops him.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I want to know where I came from?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Is this me?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I did not form any one? Can you believe it?
I know, I know. It's really good. It really is good.
It's kidnapped by a killer. The Heather Robinson's story. This
is based on a real life story and Steve Gutenberg
plays John Robinson. Steve, thank you so much for being
(17:22):
here today. This is a wow you. I've been watching
clips of this. You are too good in this as
a serial killer. You were really good.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Thanks you so much. It's a great opportunity, and first
of all, I'm glad to be on your show. Thanks.
And Lifetime is it's a terrific network, a great platform,
and they give me the opportunity to play this serial killer,
which an actor only really gets to play once in
his career. There aren't there many parts for serial killers.
(17:55):
But I really enjoyed playing the part. It was a great,
great challenge, and I think I succeeded. And the research
was difficult because this is a guy who led a
heinous life. But it's a true story. But the real
was that is going to be with Heather, Heather Robinson,
(18:16):
who was adopted by her parents not knowing that she
was actually stolen from her mother by her uncle, supposed
uncle who actually murdered her biological mother and gave her
as an infant to his brother and sister in law.
(18:37):
It's a fascinating story. You know, you couldn't make things
up like this. I always find that absolutely true life
is weirder than fiction, but in this case, it really,
it really just broke the ceiling. So I hope everybody
gets to see it on Saturday night at eight o'clock
(18:58):
on Lifetime. And I'm really proud of my performance.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, well, you were great in the clips I've seen
that you were great. Is it difficult? Is it difficult
to become this person a serial killer?
Speaker 7 (19:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I always look at work as both and I'm grateful
to work. I love to work. So no difficult, there's life,
there's occurrences in life that are difficult. Work is not difficult.
It's a great opportunity to prove yourself, to use my
skills and my craft and create an illusion that I
(19:35):
am a certain character, like all actors do. Every actor
in every play or movie or television program is creating
an illusion. So I got the opportunity to do that again.
Usually actors are cast for what they can play. They're players.
You know, Gary Cooper or you know and anybody who
(19:58):
you'll see. I've just pointed out Gary Cooper is not
funny Carry Grant. We'll always play Carry Grant and that's
who you want to see. But when you're able to
disappear into a role like I did with John Robinson,
it's a great opportunity. And when we actors love that,
We love to do an hour and a half of makeup,
(20:19):
which I did weed a different walk, a different positioning,
a different posture, different voice. So it was really a
great opportunity. And no, you know, what works not difficult.
Not working is difficult.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, that's a great point. Although there are some actors
that get so involved in a role it almost haunts them,
and it's good to hear that that doesn't happen with you.
You can walk away from a role of playing a
serial killer and it doesn't affect you afterwards.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Right, everybody's different, you know, all human beings have different tolerances,
and there are some actors that need to be method
and need to be in the character all day and
they need maybe to bring that character home. I don't
think it's fair for my for my coworkers to have
to deal with somebody who's who's putting sort of a
(21:12):
burden on them that you have to act like they're
that character unless I really need it. But then I'll
keep my circles small. But when I come home. I
absolutely don't think it's fair to everybody in my life
to sort of create this this illusion that I'm so important,
that my work is so important that it takes me
(21:34):
a few hours to come down from it at the
end of the day. That's not fair. The truth is
we're not that important. Actors are not that important. We're
doing a job just like plumbers and politicians and accountants
and teachers and nurses and doctors. We're all doing a job.
(21:54):
Some people are more important than others. I would say
maybe doctors and emergency service h you know, but absolutely
that my job is that important.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
The last time we talked to you was during the
wildfires out in Los Angeles and you were out helping
your neighbors fight, get back and survive and help them
to get their stuff out of the houses. How are
you doing, how's your house doing, and how are your
neighbors doing.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Well? The Palisades and the Altadena are full of resilient,
hopeful people and strong people, smart people. We've got a
terrific One of our leaders is Rick Caruso, who's a
great builder and developer, and he's going to do a
lot of great work in the Palisades. Everybody is doing
the best they can. We can't really hide the fact
(22:45):
that it was an insane natural disaster. Six thousand homes
were burned to the ground total loss, and that means
let's say four people a home, you got twenty five
thousand people without their homes. It's a lot of people
double that with the Alcadena fire. So it's a very
difficult time. Everybody puts a smile on their face, gets
(23:06):
up in the morning does their best, and that's what
we do as human beings. We want to be our best.
But it's not without it being a very very difficult time,
and it's going to take many years for both Alcadena
and the Palisades to come back. The hills are getting
green again, which shows that Mother Nature is so resilient,
(23:28):
and it'll take a long time to rebuild all these
homes and take a long time to get everything back
to normal.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, we all remember you out there helping people, and
we're going to probably remember you for a long time
after people watch Kidnap by a Killer the Heather Robinson's story,
because it's a different Steve Gutenberg than you're used to.
But you did a wonderful job at Saturday, June seventh,
on Lifetime at eight p m. Thank you so much,
Steve for spending some time with us.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Thanks having me on the show. Really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
No, you were wonderful. The dry A Film Festival kicked
off last night with the premiere of Billy Joel's documentary
and so it goes? So how did it go? Find out? Next?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Back to MANI in the morning on woor.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Before I get to the Billy Joel documentary. I wanted
to talk about something I've sound of in playing in
the Big Three that you've heard over and over again.
It is Dan Bongino, who is the deputy director of
the FBI, and he was hot, he was mad. And
one of the reasons he was so hot is because
(24:33):
Mohammed Solomon, who burnt twelve people in Boulder, Colorado, six
of them extremely seriously, with molotov cocktails and a makeshift
flame thrower. There was all this talk afterwards where they
were hiding his anti Semitism. They didn't come out and
just say this was an anti because it was so
(24:54):
obvious was an anti medic attack. And then it was
a year in the planning, and so the Trump administration
came out very fast and said this is an act
of terrorism, and the Boulder police walked that back and said, no,
we're calling it a hate crime and we're looking at
it as this, and we're looking at it at that.
And he's starting to get fed up on the whole
(25:15):
thing because everybody was telling him, no, you know, you
shouldn't call it terrorism. You shouldn't call it terrorism, and
that's exactly what they're investigating it for. Because how do
we know that Mohammed Solomon, who was overstaying his work
visa and was from Egypt and came here into the
country without being vetted whatsoever. How do we know he
(25:37):
wasn't in contact with some terrorst cell until it's investigated,
Until it's investigated. But it was absolutely an act of terrorism,
and we don't even know what else he was planning.
We don't know who he was in contact with, we
don't know who made him this much of an anti
(26:00):
Semitic threat. So Bongino was on Fox News and he
let loose.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
We're not the Federal Bureau of freaking word games anymore. Okay,
it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When some guy shows
up at a scene and I'm getting an intel stream
from our information center that indicates he threw an incendiary device,
okay while screaming very specific words with multiple witnesses and video,
(26:28):
We're damn well going to investigate it. Listen to me.
Investigate it as targeted violence and a terror attack. You
don't like it, you don't have to follow my official Twitter,
but I saw a whole bunch of people losing their minds.
What the hell you want us to investigate it as
a freaking grand larceny auto.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I love that guy. I just do. I mean, just
a nobs individual. So the Tribeca Film Festival opened last
night and they opened with a documentary on Billy Joel
that was wonderful and there were so many things that
the documentary is called and so it goes beautiful Song
by Billy Joel, And apparently there were so many things
(27:10):
that we learned in the documentary that people that saw
it are leaking out. Now. I don't want to spoil
anything for you, but just a couple of things I'll
tell you real quick that we found out that you
probably didn't know about Billy Joel. Did you know when
he started the band he wanted to be heavy metal? No,
and that's so surprising, that's pretty incredible. Yeah, No, that's
(27:32):
what it's really what he wanted. He wanted to be
Robert Plant. That's who we idolized, and that's who we
wanted to be from Led Zeppelin. Also, Joe at one
time broke his bandmate's heart by stealing his best friend's wife. Well,
that's not nice, not at all. And he said it
was funny though, because in the movie, I guess. He
says he got punched right in the face and it
(27:54):
broke his nose, and he said, I deserved it. I
deserve that. He did a suicide at one point in
his life after depression. We find that out, and Joel
says he was performing as Billy Martin when he was
inspired to write the Piano Man. How about that.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
I can't wait to see it. It's gonna be Apparently
only the first part was screened. It's a two part documentary.
Gonna be able to see it later this summer on HBO,
and I'm gonna be watching that for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, Billy Martin was a moniker that he used when
he played on other people's albums, and that's when he
came up, Yeah, and doing that, that's when he came up.
So many more. I didn't even tell you all of them.
But there's so many surprising things. And I can't wait
till it hits the theaters. The Billy Joel and so
it goes. And the Tribeca Film Festival right now is
(28:47):
in full weekend mode. Here we go. It's gonna be
running right through the next several days. I should say
that Natalie Migliori is out today, but she's gonna be
back tomorrow morning at eight point fifty and coming up,
would you choose AI as your therapist? Before you answer,
you're gonna want to hear what doctor Arthur Kaplan has
(29:07):
to say. He's next
Larry Mentee, he's got more of what New York needs
now Minty in the morning on seventor.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I just heard Gray Stangeic talking about a chance of
thunderstorms tonight. It's a beautiful day. Let's just accept that
it's going to be a really nice day tonight's tonight.
But I want one nice day. I want to enjoy
one nice day. It's going to be, you know, almost
ninety degrees in the high eighties today, So yeah, there's
(00:34):
rain coming tonight or the possibility of a passing thunderstorm tonight,
but enjoy the day. In the Big Three, the first
New York My yor Old debate turned into the Andrew
Cuomo roast.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Personal regrets.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Question was about your personal regret in your nun's politics.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
I said, I regret the state of the Democratic Party is.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
No person Trump's when it comes to cutting medicaidor healthcare.
No regrets when it comes to cutting child care, no
regrets when it comes to slow walking PPE and vaccinations
in the season of COVID to black and brown communities.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Really no regrets.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
That was City Council President Adrian Adams, but he took
incoming from everybody, and Zori and Mandani basically skated through.
It's almost like it was the Zori Mamdani gang ganging
up on Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani took a couple of shots,
nothing like Cuomo. He was like a pinata at a
kid's party. Laura Curran is coming up and going to
(01:36):
talk about that in just a couple of minutes. The
Trump administration is threatening Columbia University's accreditation for allowing anti
Semitic behavior on campus, and that affects one of the
mayoral candidates in the debate last night.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
My daughter is one of them in college right now.
My wife and children are Jewish. This is personal to me,
but I am and these mobs.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Let's be clear.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
We're incited by activists like the Democratic Socialists of America.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
That's Whitney Tilson, and I bet most of you didn't
even know he was running until last night's debate. The
FBI is making it crystal clear that it is investigating
the attack on Jews in Boulder, Colorado as a terrorist attack.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
We're not the Federal Bureau of freaking word games anymore. Okay,
it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's Dan Bongino. Now they are calling it a hate crime,
hate crime in Boulder, Colorado locally, but Bongino says it
is being investigated as a terrorist attack and may be
charged accordingly. A handful of conservative senators are concerned about
the big, beautiful bill, and they're talking about starting over.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
We don't have time for.
Speaker 8 (02:54):
A branded bill, and I want Elan.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
And all my friends to recognize the complexity of what
we've accomplished here, this extraordinary us of legislation.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Now, when the bill was in trouble in the House,
Donald Trump made a personal appearance. You can expect that
to happen in the Senate now. And Karine Jean Pierre
has a new book out trying to now distance herself
from not only President Biden but the Democratic Party. Karen,
we remember what you did.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Do you believe that the president is as sharp today
as he was when he took this job slowed down?
Speaker 8 (03:29):
What I can say is this is a president who
is strong and resolute in delivering for the American people.
That's what I see. He is as sharp as as
ever as I have known him to be in my engagement,
in my experience with him.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Uh huh sure. Now the book isn't out to the fall,
but it sounds like she wants to distance herself from
the Biden cover up as much as she can. That
will be investigated by both Congress now and the Justice Department.
And with all all of that, now, let's get the
Laura Kurran, political commentator and former NASA County executive. Good morning, Lauren, Laura,
(04:10):
good morning.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Because it's Laura Curran sort of you know, you blend
it together, it's Lauren.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah. No, it's like I should get Laura right every
single time. But how about how about last night? What's
your takeaway?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Well?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
I listened instead of watch, which I always I always
feel I can pay attention better if I'm not distracted
by the visual. And it really seems to me like
everyone was ready. Everyone brought their a game. I think,
real service for voters. Moderators, great on time, on task,
you know some one of the moderators which was so
(04:47):
you know, yeah, these really short answers one minute thirty seconds,
and everyone was ready to go. Obviously everyone attacking the
front runner, Andrew Cuomo, so they were all ready with
their attacks and a little size and that sort of thing.
I thought he comported himself well, he kept his cool,
which is really important when you have eight people coming
at you. I think it's important to stay calm, answer
(05:09):
what you can, jab where you can, but don't let
it get you flustered, which is exactly what he did.
And the other surprise was Tilson. You mentioned that earlier,
Whitney Tiltson. I think you're right. A lot of people
saw him for the first time, and I'm sure around
New York City Google searchers were lighting up for this
Whitney Tilten guy. Who is he? Because he was interesting
and he seemed very much like a non politician. He
just talked like a normal guy. And it'll be interesting
(05:32):
to see if this debate increases his visibility.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
You know, it's weird how they stage this because in
the presidential debates it goes by poll numbers, So whoever's
leading in the polls is right there front and center.
And Andrew Cuomo was front and center, but then Whitney
Tilson was right next to him. I mean, that's a
prime spot. I just can't figure out how they settle that.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
I wondered that too. I wondered about the placement of it.
And I mean, usually in a debate of that size,
you have one or three candidates who are dominating the floor.
You didn't really have that last night everyone. I think
voters really got a chance to see what each of
these voters was like in terms of just their vibe
(06:17):
and their aura and their personality, but also their policies,
what's important to them, what they're emphasizing in their campaigns.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What I saw was a group of far left liberal
politicians ganging up on the moderate in the race. And
it concerns me because I think that that's orchestrated. I
think they Yeah, we've seen at news conferences they're all together,
and so, I mean it keeps looking like we have
(06:46):
a real possibility of a Mayor Zamdani.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
It is a fact that they are all ganging up
on Cuomo. But I think what is good for Cuomo
is there are so many of them, there is rank
choice voting. I know they're all kind of playing the
survivor game of aligning with a certain team. Just vote
for these three people to put me at the top.
I know that's what mom Donnie's doing. I've seen some
(07:12):
of his stuff. But I think they're just gonna end
up cannibalizing each other. And you know, a lot and
I think CMO will be a lot of people's number
two if he's not their number one, So I think
I think this only helps Andrew Cuomo.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
You know, it's funny. I watched it on YouTube and
the Mamdani people were very active on YouTube. So I
was watching the comments to the side, and one of
the comments constantly, and it was always in bold letters
from several different people is don't rank Cuomo if you
vote for Zamdanmi, don't rank Cuomo at all. And that
(07:47):
was constant. It was a constant thread, and I thought
to myself, Wow, that is well orchestrated, because I didn't
see anybody else on there doing that. It seems like
this candidates that he's running mostly on the internet with
videos and on YouTube, has been really effective and the
other candidates need to catch up.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, and this will you know, this could do something
with the youth vote, people who are very online. But
remember the majority of voters are not. They're working, they're
raising their families, they're riding the subway, they're doing what
they got to do to get through the day. Not
a lot of people have the luxury of time to
spend that amount of time online or thanks frankly have
the interest to and Cuomo has a has a big
(08:31):
appeal in vast swats of the city with older folks,
with the with the black community, uh, you know, with
with working people. So he's got a lot of union support.
So this could this could you know, I mean, we
do see Momdani surging. He is doing well in the polls.
He is doing better in the polls. This campaign is
his campaign is very well organized, you know, in a
(08:51):
way that socialist organizers are well organized. But I do
think in the end there will be a cannibalizing effect
of far further to the left candidates.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Well, I hope you're right, because I listened to the
Emerson polster who said, among likely voters, now we saw
on like the tenth ballot he loses finally by nine
to Cuomo. But he said, among likely voters, they're tie.
They're tie on the on the tenth ballot. So everybody
seems to be saying, oh, don't worry about it, don't
worry about it. He's going to fade. He's going to fade.
(09:22):
He's not fading, And.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
No he's not.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
He's surging, and you have to be worried about it. Honestly,
if you do not want him to be the mayor,
this is something that you should be very concerned about
and get out the vote for your candidate, whoever you
think that is.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, I just hope that message gets out because so
far he just keeps rising and I think it'd be
horrible for the city and nobody and the media has
not paid enough attention and not asked them the right questions,
like how are you possibly going to pay for all
of this?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
You know, if I live in the city, you know,
I'm in Nassau County, I would ask myself who is
the one with the record of actually running and managing
and building things. If you've been a legislator for a
short period of time, you don't have that kind of experience.
You know, it is very challenging. You have headwinds constantly,
and you can't It's not just a cute little slogan
(10:11):
or a punchy little line. You got to actually manage
and run things. And I think a lot of people
when they look at that see Cuomo, even if they're
not in love with the guy. He's built things, He's
gotten things, and he's managed crises. And I thought he
had a compelling case about who can stand up to
Trump's the best.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, that's interesting. I do think he has a ceiling
and that's what worries me. But let's talk again. We'll
talk again next week. Loura, current political commentator and former
NASA County executive. Thank you, Laura.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Oh you're welcome. Bye bye.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Would you use beef fat as a sunscreen? Of course not? Well,
guess what, it's a real thing, and we'll talk about
it next.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
The iHeartRadio app now has presets set one to double
uor to hear Larry live, and another to hear his
podcast anytime. Now back to Miny in the morning on
wor Well, let's.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Talk back time. Thank you so much for your talkbacks.
You always add to the conversation.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
He jp lies, lies and more lies should be the
name of her book.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
She's full of donkey dust. Donkey dust.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
I never heard a donkey dust, Larry never heard a
donkey dust. I was worried that maybe it'd had some
submeaning that I shouldn't put it on the air, but
we looked it up.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Apparently not, but that might be in my new phrase,
donkey dust.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I love that right. We got malarkey and donkey dust today.
Speaker 9 (11:35):
So they say you could use it instead of saying BS.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yes, yeah, yeah, it's a fun way. It's it's actually
a tremendous phrase. I'm going to use it all the time.
I like it better than malarkey, that's for sure.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Is it me?
Speaker 7 (11:50):
Or does anybody see the similarity between AI and terminated
to and skynet?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
The machines are taken over, We're in trouble.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yes, we all do, yes?
Speaker 4 (12:03):
And why are we laughing about it? It's not funny?
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, I know, I know you laugh or cry. John
Stewart has a great line about this. He says, you know,
when the last words of civilization are gonna be, they're
gonna come from a lab somewhere and it's going to
be a scientist going who it worked, that's good? Be
the end of civilization? Yeah, no, it's this is going
a bad place. It's gone. And everybody knew, everybody talked
(12:27):
about it. Everybody wanted to put restrictions on it. Nobody did,
and so no nice knowing you larry my ex wife.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Kidnappers, so they say, are now demanding tickets.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
They keep pupping the ante.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
What can I do please help me yesterday shirt.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Yes, it is the exact same thing as does he
say his X let me play it again.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
X x Y Larry my ex wife X kidnappers, So
they say, are.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Now demanding tickets. You feel unbelievable. They keep upping the ante.
I thought it was, can I do please help me?
Speaker 9 (13:08):
I mean just the fact that he wants to help
his ex sary.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I just don't hear my name? Oh boy, Yeah no,
I mean he's desperate for these tickets. Okay, but it's
his ex wife. But that's okay, she's still get get
the authorities involved. It's not it's not your problem anymore.
That's why she's your ex.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Maybe it's the mother of his children.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I was thinking the same thing, but hey, well that's different.
Well there you go, then they should help.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
How about this, would you use be fat as a sunscreen?
Speaker 4 (13:49):
Well, it sounds like it would fry my skin?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Well a lot of people like that, I mean a
lot of people do. There just that reason thematologist right,
exactly right. Remember the old days when people put oil on.
Speaker 9 (14:01):
The baby oil?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yep? Yeah, Well. A photo of a billboard for beef
tallow sunscreen by a brand called Primary Pure has people,
of course, doing a double take when they see the billboard.
Along with a photo of the product. The ad reads
poison free SPF with tallow and next to the ad
there's a blonde woman under the text that read the
(14:26):
sun isn't poison, but your sunscreen is. So I guess
they're trying to get rid of the chemicals in the sunscreen.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
Yeah, but some dermatologists are also saying, hey, guys, you know,
where's your sunscreen? The sun is poison to your skin,
you know, if you're not protected and just wear sunscreen.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
So they're not so into this.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
But this is not nearly as offensive as a billboard
you saw.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Was the worst.
Speaker 9 (14:54):
So apparently Connecticut is going after New York pizza. So
we've all heard about this, you know, debate on who
has the best pizza as a Connecticut is in New York.
But blah blah blah. Well, this morning I saw one
of the billboards up. I didn't think it was true,
but it is. It says the nation crazy enough, it's
(15:15):
right under a pizzeria, this poor pizzaa. I guess it's
good for the pizzeria, but it says the nation's best pizza,
not you New York, Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I didn't even know Connecticut was in the company.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Oh yeah, new Haven.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
New Haven is supposed to have a lot of good pizza,
and I know we got a lot of Connecticut to
people out there, and I haven't had it for myself.
I personally love pizza from Staten Island.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
But you know, if you did a poll across the country,
they'd say New York. Of course I did a poll
across the country. But Connecticut's not going to get in
this game.
Speaker 9 (15:44):
Well, they've been trying for a long time, and now
they're spending money on billboards.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, all I heard about is this place in Jersey
City that I'm dying. Now you're telling me I can't
even get in there. No raza, and it's that jammed
up that you have to get man for a pizza.
I'll keep trying.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Minty in the Morning continues, It's Larry Minty on the
Voice of New York.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Well we all know. Steve Gutenberg is a great comedy
actor in The Police, Academy Film Academy Films, and Three
Men and a Baby. He's an actor, producer, director, author.
He is a businessman. He has a star in the
Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he has a new project
coming out. And so if you remember him in Police Academy,
(16:33):
if you remember him in Three Men and a Baby,
this is nothing like that, Uncle John. I want to
know the truth. I owe you a story.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
John.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I've been a suspect of four murders. I don't know
what do you think you're gonna find here? You did
something to those women. It made some mistakes in my life.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
He's not going to stop until somebody stops him.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I want to know where I came from?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Is this me?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I did not form any one? Can you believe it?
I know, I know. It's really good. It really is good.
It's kidnapped by a killer. The Heather Robinson's story. This
is based on a real life story and Steve Gutenberg
plays John Robinson. Steve, thank you so much for being
(17:22):
here today. This is a wow you. I've been watching
clips of this. You are too good in this as
a serial killer. You were really good.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Thanks you so much. It's a great opportunity, and first
of all, I'm glad to be on your show. Thanks.
And Lifetime is it's a terrific network, a great platform,
and they give me the opportunity to play this serial killer,
which an actor only really gets to play once in
his career. There aren't there many parts for serial killers.
(17:55):
But I really enjoyed playing the part. It was a great,
great challenge, and I think I succeeded. And the research
was difficult because this is a guy who led a
heinous life. But it's a true story. But the real
was that is going to be with Heather, Heather Robinson,
(18:16):
who was adopted by her parents not knowing that she
was actually stolen from her mother by her uncle, supposed
uncle who actually murdered her biological mother and gave her
as an infant to his brother and sister in law.
(18:37):
It's a fascinating story. You know, you couldn't make things
up like this. I always find that absolutely true life
is weirder than fiction, but in this case, it really,
it really just broke the ceiling. So I hope everybody
gets to see it on Saturday night at eight o'clock
(18:58):
on Lifetime. And I'm really proud of my performance.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, well, you were great in the clips I've seen
that you were great. Is it difficult? Is it difficult
to become this person a serial killer?
Speaker 7 (19:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I always look at work as both and I'm grateful
to work. I love to work. So no difficult, there's life,
there's occurrences in life that are difficult. Work is not difficult.
It's a great opportunity to prove yourself, to use my
skills and my craft and create an illusion that I
(19:35):
am a certain character, like all actors do. Every actor
in every play or movie or television program is creating
an illusion. So I got the opportunity to do that again.
Usually actors are cast for what they can play. They're players.
You know, Gary Cooper or you know and anybody who
(19:58):
you'll see. I've just pointed out Gary Cooper is not
funny Carry Grant. We'll always play Carry Grant and that's
who you want to see. But when you're able to
disappear into a role like I did with John Robinson,
it's a great opportunity. And when we actors love that,
We love to do an hour and a half of makeup,
(20:19):
which I did weed a different walk, a different positioning,
a different posture, different voice. So it was really a
great opportunity. And no, you know, what works not difficult.
Not working is difficult.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, that's a great point. Although there are some actors
that get so involved in a role it almost haunts them,
and it's good to hear that that doesn't happen with you.
You can walk away from a role of playing a
serial killer and it doesn't affect you afterwards.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Right, everybody's different, you know, all human beings have different tolerances,
and there are some actors that need to be method
and need to be in the character all day and
they need maybe to bring that character home. I don't
think it's fair for my for my coworkers to have
to deal with somebody who's who's putting sort of a
(21:12):
burden on them that you have to act like they're
that character unless I really need it. But then I'll
keep my circles small. But when I come home. I
absolutely don't think it's fair to everybody in my life
to sort of create this this illusion that I'm so important,
that my work is so important that it takes me
(21:34):
a few hours to come down from it at the
end of the day. That's not fair. The truth is
we're not that important. Actors are not that important. We're
doing a job just like plumbers and politicians and accountants
and teachers and nurses and doctors. We're all doing a job.
(21:54):
Some people are more important than others. I would say
maybe doctors and emergency service h you know, but absolutely
that my job is that important.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
The last time we talked to you was during the
wildfires out in Los Angeles and you were out helping
your neighbors fight, get back and survive and help them
to get their stuff out of the houses. How are
you doing, how's your house doing, and how are your
neighbors doing.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Well? The Palisades and the Altadena are full of resilient,
hopeful people and strong people, smart people. We've got a
terrific One of our leaders is Rick Caruso, who's a
great builder and developer, and he's going to do a
lot of great work in the Palisades. Everybody is doing
the best they can. We can't really hide the fact
(22:45):
that it was an insane natural disaster. Six thousand homes
were burned to the ground total loss, and that means
let's say four people a home, you got twenty five
thousand people without their homes. It's a lot of people
double that with the Alcadena fire. So it's a very
difficult time. Everybody puts a smile on their face, gets
(23:06):
up in the morning does their best, and that's what
we do as human beings. We want to be our best.
But it's not without it being a very very difficult time,
and it's going to take many years for both Alcadena
and the Palisades to come back. The hills are getting
green again, which shows that Mother Nature is so resilient,
(23:28):
and it'll take a long time to rebuild all these
homes and take a long time to get everything back
to normal.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, we all remember you out there helping people, and
we're going to probably remember you for a long time
after people watch Kidnap by a Killer the Heather Robinson's story,
because it's a different Steve Gutenberg than you're used to.
But you did a wonderful job at Saturday, June seventh,
on Lifetime at eight p m. Thank you so much,
Steve for spending some time with us.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Thanks having me on the show. Really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
No, you were wonderful. The dry A Film Festival kicked
off last night with the premiere of Billy Joel's documentary
and so it goes? So how did it go? Find out? Next?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Back to MANI in the morning on woor.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Before I get to the Billy Joel documentary. I wanted
to talk about something I've sound of in playing in
the Big Three that you've heard over and over again.
It is Dan Bongino, who is the deputy director of
the FBI, and he was hot, he was mad. And
one of the reasons he was so hot is because
(24:33):
Mohammed Solomon, who burnt twelve people in Boulder, Colorado, six
of them extremely seriously, with molotov cocktails and a makeshift
flame thrower. There was all this talk afterwards where they
were hiding his anti Semitism. They didn't come out and
just say this was an anti because it was so
(24:54):
obvious was an anti medic attack. And then it was
a year in the planning, and so the Trump administration
came out very fast and said this is an act
of terrorism, and the Boulder police walked that back and said, no,
we're calling it a hate crime and we're looking at
it as this, and we're looking at it at that.
And he's starting to get fed up on the whole
(25:15):
thing because everybody was telling him, no, you know, you
shouldn't call it terrorism. You shouldn't call it terrorism, and
that's exactly what they're investigating it for. Because how do
we know that Mohammed Solomon, who was overstaying his work
visa and was from Egypt and came here into the
country without being vetted whatsoever. How do we know he
(25:37):
wasn't in contact with some terrorst cell until it's investigated,
Until it's investigated. But it was absolutely an act of terrorism,
and we don't even know what else he was planning.
We don't know who he was in contact with, we
don't know who made him this much of an anti
(26:00):
Semitic threat. So Bongino was on Fox News and he
let loose.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
We're not the Federal Bureau of freaking word games anymore. Okay,
it's the Federal Bureau of Investigation. When some guy shows
up at a scene and I'm getting an intel stream
from our information center that indicates he threw an incendiary device,
okay while screaming very specific words with multiple witnesses and video,
(26:28):
We're damn well going to investigate it. Listen to me.
Investigate it as targeted violence and a terror attack. You
don't like it, you don't have to follow my official Twitter,
but I saw a whole bunch of people losing their minds.
What the hell you want us to investigate it as
a freaking grand larceny auto.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I love that guy. I just do. I mean, just
a nobs individual. So the Tribeca Film Festival opened last
night and they opened with a documentary on Billy Joel
that was wonderful and there were so many things that
the documentary is called and so it goes beautiful Song
by Billy Joel, And apparently there were so many things
(27:10):
that we learned in the documentary that people that saw
it are leaking out. Now. I don't want to spoil
anything for you, but just a couple of things I'll
tell you real quick that we found out that you
probably didn't know about Billy Joel. Did you know when
he started the band he wanted to be heavy metal? No,
and that's so surprising, that's pretty incredible. Yeah, No, that's
(27:32):
what it's really what he wanted. He wanted to be
Robert Plant. That's who we idolized, and that's who we
wanted to be from Led Zeppelin. Also, Joe at one
time broke his bandmate's heart by stealing his best friend's wife. Well,
that's not nice, not at all. And he said it
was funny though, because in the movie, I guess. He
says he got punched right in the face and it
(27:54):
broke his nose, and he said, I deserved it. I
deserve that. He did a suicide at one point in
his life after depression. We find that out, and Joel
says he was performing as Billy Martin when he was
inspired to write the Piano Man. How about that.
Speaker 9 (28:15):
I can't wait to see it. It's gonna be Apparently
only the first part was screened. It's a two part documentary.
Gonna be able to see it later this summer on HBO,
and I'm gonna be watching that for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, Billy Martin was a moniker that he used when
he played on other people's albums, and that's when he
came up, Yeah, and doing that, that's when he came up.
So many more. I didn't even tell you all of them.
But there's so many surprising things. And I can't wait
till it hits the theaters. The Billy Joel and so
it goes. And the Tribeca Film Festival right now is
(28:47):
in full weekend mode. Here we go. It's gonna be
running right through the next several days. I should say
that Natalie Migliori is out today, but she's gonna be
back tomorrow morning at eight point fifty and coming up,
would you choose AI as your therapist? Before you answer,
you're gonna want to hear what doctor Arthur Kaplan has
(29:07):
to say. He's next
