Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good Morning, New York City.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is menty in the Morning on seven to ten
wor the Voice of New York.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Larry of course off today.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
So they sent in the best of the absolute best,
Natalie Vaka, to book a guest host, and this is
all she came up with.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
I am Jimmy Fala. Stop it.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm beating myself up a little bit. Newest member of
the WOOR lineup. You can hear my show weeknights from
nine pm to midnight. You can also watch me on
Fox News every Saturday night. I host a show called
Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Fala. But enough of
the sandwich board. Let's get into the Big three. Here
we go. So Israel launching a strike on Iran, taking

(00:36):
out top Iranian nuclear leaders and scientists. President Trump truth
socialing about it earlier, saying he gave a rand sixty
days to make a deal. This was day sixty one.
He says they should consider today a second chance or
the attacks are going to intensify. This is obviously very
heavy stuff. I don't doubt that if you're in the
Tri state area there will be protest on either side

(00:58):
of this issue. Former New York City cab drivers out there,
you might want to give sixth Avenue the day off.
Second story in the Big three was the mayorial debate
last night. If you missed it, I believe they're showing
the replay on Bravo and then Andy Cohen will be
hosting a reunion when that's over, because it really got ugly.
It was, of course Mondani and Cuomo going back and forth,
a lot of personal attacks. It wasn't so much what

(01:21):
will you do to the city, It was more what
did you do to your staffers? Is I think the
route Mandanni took this conversation. And the third story in
the Big Three, which I think a lot of people
in my house would argue, is number one is the
Yankees are going up to Boston to beat up the
Red Sox this weekend. Yeah, and you gotta love that.
I grew up in a big I grew up in
a big Yankee house. You know, when you have that

(01:41):
arrested development where men can only communicate with the other
men in their lives through sports.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Sports, absolutely, you know, I mean, so they're just staring
at it.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
If I was mad at my dad, it was a
Yankee sock, you know what I mean? But the first
time I kissed a girl I came home. I was
like the Yankees rule. That was three days ago. That
was three days ago, I believe if it was Tuesday.
But of course, the other story making a lot of
headlines right now outside of the political news, was a tragedy,
a horrific Air India crash. The video is all over
the internet at Josie Boeing seven eighty seven dreamliner plummet

(02:13):
just seconds after takeoff. There is good news out of
the crash. One man seated in eleven a did survive.
I have no idea how it happened, but if any
man can make sense of it all, it is ABC's
World News. Aviation analyst and author John Nance is on
the line.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Good morning, John, Good morning Jimmy. How you doing the most.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Telling thing about the world we now live in? As
if you've seen the video of this miraculous survival tale,
the photo of the guy walking away from the crash,
he's looking at his phone. He has his phone, and
it's like, we're so calibrated to do that, but I'm
also just so overwhelmed because I can't imagine how he
must feel in this moment. But this is obviously a

(02:53):
horrible tragedy. Let's start there. Do we have any insight
into what caused this?

Speaker 4 (02:58):
A little, only a little, and not enough, but we
will get that with the readout of the cocker Horse
recorder and the if I did a recorder. What we
know is the airplane had plenty of thrust to take
off as soon as he got into the air. However,
something happened to both engines simultaneously, which is very very
unlikely in any operation with the twin engine airplane. They

(03:19):
did not have sufficient thrust to be able to maintain
air speed, and they slowly drifted down until they hit
the building. The indications of this are that not only
did the engines fail, whether they actually stopped or not,
they weren't producing power, but the crew didn't even have
time to raise the landing gear, and that's a very

(03:39):
tell tale element. So what we don't know is what
the impetus of that was. It could be anything from
from hitting birds, which we don't think are indicated. We
haven't heard much about that, or about the presence of
birds on the airport all the way to something very
dark like somebody turning off the engines in the car,

(04:00):
which I'm not assuming is the case, but these airplanes
are built to never have something happen simultaneously to both engines,
and so when something like this does occur, they're just
not a whole lot of explanation that is readily. You know,
it's easy to come by. It's something that's almost completely unprecedented,
and certainly with the respect of the seven eighty seven,
it isn't completely unprecedented.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Wow, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
We're talking to John Nance, ABC World News aviation analyst
and author. One thing I did read earlier is some
of the photos from the crash. I'd say the tail
section of the plane appeared to be intact, and that
would be where the black box is stored. So does
that make it any easier for them to retrieve the
black box as comparative to other situations.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Oh, immensely easier. I mean when the sail section and
the racks and which those two devices are instact, when
you can just walk up and pull those out, that's
one hund hundred thousands, not one hundred thousand times better
than having to sit through a smoking hole somewhere, which
we've had to do many times.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
That's heavy.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
Does anyone hazard a guess as to how this gentleman
in seat eleven A did survive.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
You know, I bridle it the use of the word
miracle most of the time in aviation disasters, but this
is one I would endorse. When you were dissipating one
hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty miles an
hour in less than one hundred and fifty feet, you've
got basically metal flying everywhere, and how anybody could get
out of that mailstream of flying knives, if you will,

(05:29):
is literally miraculous. But somehow it all worked for him.
And the door was just cracked open enough there at
eleven A, which is one of the emergency exit ros,
he was able to squeeze out and not fall, you know,
very far. He was actually on a surface. All of
those things could have been different than in a microsecond,
just a tiny little bit of pressure in one direction

(05:51):
or another during the dissipation of the speed. But I
can't I can't tell you. I know, we're going to
have a lot of people saying, Okay, I won't see
eleven eight from now on. This is completely random. He
could have been at the back of the airplane, he
could have been in the front, of the airplane.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
You know, I have a quick question. I saw a
video and I cannot believe everything you see on social media,
but there are so many videos coming out and right
before the plane, you know, had this incident, they were
people on the plane saying that there was no power
to their you know, to the televisions, that the air

(06:29):
conditioning was off.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Have you heard about that?

Speaker 4 (06:33):
No, But it doesn't surprise me. I mean, we have
only one eyewitness who survived and listening very carefully to
anything that he's reported to have said. The fact is,
if you lose both engines, are they both go so
far down in terms of their rotation that that they're
not producing electrical power anymore. You've got backup systems, but

(06:53):
they're not going to click in necessarily for the cabin.
So you might not have operating televisions in front of
the seats. But there's also may be an overstatement because
again we have only one witness, only one person was
a board.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, the other thing I would ask we're talking to
John Nance, ABC World News aviation analyst and author, is uh,
you know, Bowe's been under a lot of scrutiny lately.
Obviously this isn't going to help that situation.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Have they reacted, Yeah, they've done all the right things.
I mean, they've they got their own version of a
go team that joins in this case, of course, is
not in the US, so the NTSP National Transportation Safety
Board has to be invited, in which I think they
already have been. Boeing will be an inevitable party to
that because they are the manufacturer of the airplane. You know,

(07:40):
the tendency is always is for those of us in
the media to say, Okay, this dot is connected to
that dot. As far as anything detrimental to Boeing, will
have to wait and see if there's anything indicated when
they get into the so called black boxes, which are
actually international orange, the cockpit voice recorder and the flight
data recorder. If there's something that looks like it might

(08:02):
be a generic probability or possibility in the future for
a repeat, this will be addressed immediately, and of course
it could be very worricent. There are thousands of these airplanes,
are a little more than a thousand flying out there.
They've got a superlative, almost perfect record, and their dispatch
reliability is very, very high. So I'm not anticipating any

(08:22):
problem with the Dreamliner as such, but if that did happen,
that would be a major blow to boy.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Wow, very heavy stuff, John Nance. We appreciate a few
minutes this morning, great stuff as always, you bet, thank you, sir,
great John Nance, ABC World News, Aviation analyst and author.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
One more thing to throw at you.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
The largest, the largest taged mail shark has been tracked
off the North Carolina coast. But is it coming our way?
That's what we want to find out. Don't ask me.
I'm a cab driver. I know loan sharks. I don't
actually know like regular sharks. But we're going to talk
with a shark expert, doctor Harley Newton, joining us when
we come back. Jimmy fallis sitting in for Larry on

(09:00):
seven ten wo R, the Voice of New York. Getting
a lot of talkbacks out there. We're going to get
to more of them shortly. If you haven't waited in
taken a shot at your MENTI in the Morning t shirt,
go to the iHeartRadio app, leave us a talkback and
we will get to it shortly. Because joining us now,
this is a big deal. This next guest is, of
course an O Search chief veterinarian and senior veterinary scientist,

(09:23):
which sounds pretty straightforward, but I actually think she's kind
of nuts. Doctor Harley Newton is on the line. Hello doctor, Hi,
good morning. So I'm very fascinated by your work. But
I have to know, as a kid who grew up
watching Jaws, what motivated you or drove you to go
out and get into the business of tagging sharks. This

(09:44):
blows my mind.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
You know.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
I even when I started my veterinary career, I didn't
think this would be an option because there's just so
few opportunities. And I just found the way. I was
interested in exotics in veterinary school and trusted in aquatic animals,
and I just took every opportunity offered and here I am.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Wow, really cool stuff. So to get the audience up
to speed, it's the biggest great white shark that's ever
been recorded in the Atlantic. They do believe, according to
these reports, that it could be headed north towards our area.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
But you yourself tagg this shark.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Correct, I did, and I do want to clarify. He
is the largest male white shark that oh Search has
ever tagged. Okay, definitely not the largest white shark ever
recorded in northwest Atlantic. These guys get big and he
was about fourteen feet so nothing to sniff that. But
oh god, definitely not the biggest.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Okay, so it's only a fourteen foot shark, honey, everybody
back in the water. Only a fourteen footer. No, this, this,
this blows me away. And in the process of oh,
search and yourself tagging a shark like this, I assume
you're able to deduce what is on this guy's agenda
When they say they're tracking him and it's heading north,
what does that mean to us in plain English?

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Sure? So, white sharks are migratory. They spend their summer
and fall up north, typically in Cape cod or Istlantic, Canada,
and then they spend their summer down south anywhere from
the Carolinas down around Florida and into the Gulf. But
this is the time of year that they're on the move,
so they're actually migrating now, and very often when we

(11:20):
watch our animals on our Global Shark Tracker, they spend
some time off of Cape Hatteras and typically right inside
the Gulf stream. We think that's because there's a lot
of food there and they're about to travel more than
a thousand miles, so we think what's on his agenda
is he's going to be moving north and very likely
moving through the waters of New York.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh wow, would you look at that lovely this time
of year? Well thanks for that. We're talking to the
great doctor Harley Newton. Now I did see here that
you have a particular interest in stress physiology and sharks
and what conditions induce higher stress levels. That's what I
wanted to ask you. Is there something that this shark
might be experiencing him that that made him want to

(12:00):
come here, or you're saying this is just regular seasonal migration.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
This is regular seasonal migration. This is what he should do.
And you know the interesting thing about that is these
sharks seem to choose a primary place to spend their summers.
They either go to Cape Cod or they go to
Atlantic Canada, And this will be the first year we'll
be able to kind of follow them and see which
one he chooses. So for me, that's the primary point

(12:26):
of interest.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
It makes sense.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
Yeah, the stress of theology work, it largely just has
to do with how these animals handle fisheries, capture, and
that really comes back to policy. There's a lot of
policies that involve catch and release of sharks, and some
species handle it really really well and other ones really don't.
So we're just trying to get to the bottom of
which animals can handle fisheries capture and which ones can't.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Well, he's swimming his way to a changing world in
New York as. The adults are scared of sharks, but
the kids actually like them because of that Baby Shark
Dot song.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
You got to see.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
The adults are running out of the water, the kids
are running in. It's gonna be a whole spectacle. I
thank you so much for taking a few minutes to
make sense of this for us, because it is far
beyond my pay grade, and I just find you in
your line of work so fascinating.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
Well, thank you so much for having me this fun.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
The great doctor Harley Newton. There she goes really great stuff.
But yeah, it's a if he's swimming up here to
New York City, New York waters, I don't he might
make a U turn and go back. He doesn't really
want to swim with a hubcap off the coast of
Coney Island. Some floating teamster who did somebody dirty. Send
us your callbacks on the iHeartRadio app. We've got a

(13:37):
couple more that I want to play. This one sounds
like he's mad at the Democrats. Uh oh, here we go,
about to get partisan again.

Speaker 7 (13:44):
Good morning, Jimmy.

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Hey.

Speaker 7 (13:45):
The last two years of Biden, as he was wiping
out on stage and mumbling, bumbling and fumbling, shaking hands
with the air and all his antics, and the Democratic
supporters either said nothing or actually talked about how sharp
he was. And now they will come out and question
the current president's mental acuity. I mean, these people want
to be taken seriously. It's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
He is, of course, referring to recent attacks on the
Democratic side of the isle. I even think Newsome tried
playing one of these Trump's the oldest president ever. We
need to do something, but nobody wants advice on cognitive
assessments from the Democratic Party. I believe there are more
people listening who'd be willing to take dating advice from
OJ Simpson than cognitive assessments from the Democrats. After the

(14:32):
four years of Biden shaking hands with invisible people, they
used to yell at me, like I get into these debates.
You know, in comedy, green rooms and sometimes on TV
and there you know, Biden's fine, this is a Republican
right wing conspiracy. I'm like, dude, Joe Biden is the
only president in history who made the sign language interpreter shrug.
I mean, really think about that. At the State of
the Union, I saw the sign language interpreter literally pick

(14:55):
up her phone and start googling because she's like, that's
not a word. We had a president. You couldn't play
scrap you know what. I would play scrabble with Jacquelin Carl,
who joins us now with the.

Speaker 8 (15:03):
News, Thank you, Good morning. The Israeli military is claiming
that Iran's nuclear program is reaching the point of no return.
Israel on Thursday launch what it called a preemptive strike
against military and nuclear sites in Iran. The Israeli army
says it had accumulated evidence about Iran's efforts to produce
enough enriched uranium to obtain a nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, the

(15:26):
NYPD is tracking the situation in the Middle East and
increasing security locally.

Speaker 9 (15:31):
As a precaution. The NYPD stepping up security at Jewish Israeli,
another site throughout the city. After Israel's military strike against Iran.
In a statement, the NYPD says they're coordinating with federal
partners and will continue to track the situation in the
Middle East for any potential impact to the city. New
York City Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish
already will be holding a security briefing this afternoon, a

(15:53):
head of anticipated weekend no King's Day protests and now
the security concern stemming from the Middle East. JENNIFERI WOUR News.

Speaker 8 (16:01):
So this parking garage is testing out a security robot.
According to WTP, the Montgomery County, Maryland Department of Transportation
says they're giving a test run to this five foot four,
four hundred and twenty pounds security robot and a silver
spring parking garage that they say reminds people of an
air freshener or droids from Star Wars. Reportedly, this robot

(16:25):
has the ability to detect people, read license plates, make
broadcast announcements, and run thermal scans. The future, that's the
sci fi future is with us.

Speaker 7 (16:35):
I thought he was.

Speaker 8 (16:36):
Going to like protect people going to their cars, but
I guess they have other ideas for this guy. What
do you think about that.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Well, they're making him too real. I mean we're basically
like a month away from the robots, just hitting on
chicks two.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
Real five foot four and four hundred pounds.

Speaker 8 (16:51):
Well that part, this one, this one looks like, you know,
a droid from Star Wars, but a lot of them are.
I mean, they've got eyes that they've just made I
think in Japan or China where they can see with
eighty six percent accuracy like a human eye. There's a
lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
And we're three pages into every screenplay we've ever watched
where these things kill.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Us at the end, I roll right, yeah, no doubt
about that.

Speaker 8 (17:16):
Yeah, I know, I like it.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Let's go to it.

Speaker 8 (17:17):
Let's go to Wall Street at the opening bell. All right,
So the doll opened down five hundred and fifteen points,
the SNP is down sixty four points, and the Nazac
opened down two hundred and ninety four points.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
That's it, folks.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
There it is another stellar effort by the great Jacqueline Carl.
I mean, just a perfect game at this point. No
one's even talking to where in the dugout between innings,
just throwing a perfecto. Folks, don't go anywhere. Are w
or Movie Minute host Joe nu Meyer's going to give
us thoughts on how to Train Your Dragon.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Hot damn.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
When we get back Jimmy Fayla in for Larry Mente.
Natalie is still sitting next to me though, opening up
a Best Buy, apparently based on the amount of devices
she has in front of her. I believe Mark Simone
walked by and counted seven screens.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
I have a lot of screens. Screens.

Speaker 5 (18:06):
There's a lot of things going on here.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Well, it is an honor to be broadcasting here today
from the Houston Space Center alongside Natalie joining us. Now
Manner knows about all of that and so much more.
W al Water's Movie Men and host.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Joe Numeyer in the house. The crowd goes wild. Good morning, Joe,
Good morning Jimmy.

Speaker 10 (18:23):
Great to speak with you.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Boy.

Speaker 10 (18:25):
You're here for a good Friday. We got two really
good movies to talk about this weekend. You're ready to
jump in.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Let's go.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
I love it go the first Love this the first one.
I am totally surprised to be saying this, but it
is a five star movie. It's How to Train Your Dragon,
which is a remake of a twenty ten animated film
is from a bunch of kids books, but this is
a movie for everyone, not just for kids. It's not
aimed low. I was totally knocked out by it. It
looks great for one thing, but it's got a really

(18:51):
great story. I'm just gonna summarize it really quickly. You know,
it takes place in the Viking era, and there's an
island where these Vikings have been fighting dragons for a
long time, and there's the son of the of the
Viking chief befriends a wounded dragon and realizes that they
are not horrible creatures, that they're actually really nice. You
could kind of get along with them. And so it's
a kind of a basic story, right, It's like the

(19:12):
Black Stallion or you know whatever. Saint George and the
Dragon's the classic story. But really what happens here is
like the film just transcends what all the things that
you think it could be. All of these live action
remakes that Disney has done over the last however many years.
You know, everything from Beauty and the Beast to Aladdin
to you know, the Jungle Book and The Lion King,

(19:33):
all of that, none of that stuff works, and some
of them are like bad drug trips, like Dumbbo, the
Tim Burton Dumbo, like still taont me. So there's a
lot of them that are really bad. This one, though,
it is not that it is a really terrific film.
It's obviously you know, it's it's a kid's movie, but
it doesn't aim low. It reminds me a little of
like there was a remake of Peach Dragon a couple
of years ago that just reminds me of which I

(19:55):
thought was a great film, and or even like Where
the Wild Things Are, or even as I said, the
Black which is a classic. So five stars bring everyone
How to Train Your Drag And honestly, it's a it's
a great time for it for everyone in the family.
It's a terrific film.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
And to be clear, just so everybody's listening who might
not be familiar with your work, I know this audience is,
but you watch these films sober.

Speaker 4 (20:15):
That's right.

Speaker 10 (20:16):
I did not see How to Train Your Dragon under
any special circumstances, right that Jill Bob before how to
Train Your dreag But that's right.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (20:26):
So now there's another film, a smaller film, but I
also want to give it a shout out. This week
as well. It's called The Life of Chuck, which is
also sounds kind of a goofy title, but it's based
on a Stephen king short story, so right there, you
know that it's got a good pedigree. And I can't
give too much away about it, but I'll talk about
a little bit. It's it's kind of a twisty kind
of a thing that's told in reverse. It's has like

(20:47):
three chapters, and the third chapter comes first, and then
chapter two, chapter one, and without giving too much away,
there's sort of it starts with sort of this this
futuristics or this kind of what seems like an end
time's kind of moment, and it goes back in time
a little bit to look at this character named Chuck
who's played by Tom Hidleson, and and it's it's a

(21:09):
it's an adaptation of a Stephen kingsolm that reminded me
a lot of the Shawshank Redemption. Okay, reminded me a
lot of the Green Mile. It's or or even stand
by me, so it's not it's got a slight supernatural
element to it, but it's one of those sort of
the more grounded or or you know, maybe sentimental if
you want to call it Stephen Can adaptation, So that
four stars for that. That's also a really good film,

(21:30):
but totally different and and also not really for kids,
so so for a for adults, that's that one. But
you got to go into it with a with an
open mind and be prepared, how to train your drag
and just go and get the popcorn and sit down.
Because it's a great movie.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's a good way to pitch a movie. It's a
bad way to pitch a blind date. You gotta go
into it as an open mind and be prepared. What
are you What are you getting me into over here?
Joe Neumeyer, Oh goodness, gracious? Well as a as a
guy who is a great movie critic in a horror
blind Dade Center Rupper, I kid. Pee Wee's Big Adventure

(22:04):
is turning forty years old this summer, and I consider
that the closest thing to a perfect film that there.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Is in my youth. I loved Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I recently interviewed Mark Holton, who played Francis Buxton, the
bike thief, and they're having a big reunion over the weekend.
Eg Daily is going to be there. I guess it's
out in Glendale, California. It's a great time to be
in California. You know, if you don't have an iPad
to watch it on, you can loot it.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
But were you a fan? Were you a fan of Peewee?

Speaker 10 (22:32):
I absolutely was, And in fact I actually had the
honor of doing a like a little half hour to
forty five career conversation with Paul Rubens a couple of
years ago for that that third pee Wee movie that
he did was called pee Wee's Big.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Holiday That yes, Netflix, Yes, yeah it was.

Speaker 10 (22:47):
It was a fun conversation. He was a gentleman and
really funny. The movie itself, Yeah, I totally agree. I mean,
a couple of minutes ago, I buy Rag Done. You
know Tim Burton's Dumbo, But Tim Burton directed pee Wee's
Big Adventure, And was there ever a better marriage between
a filmmaker and a performer than those two. I think
that the movie is inventive and funny and wacky, and

(23:08):
also shout out to the nineteen eighties. Everybody thinks of
it as sort of this big a decade avot. I mean,
it did a lot of great things, like co Sbusters
and EP and Indiana Jones and Top Gun. But it
also did lots of weird stuff, and that's one of
them is Yeah, Tee's Big Adventures, but weird in the
unusual way. I love it too, hilarious and you can
always quote it right.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, let them go nod well, I can. I tell
you my favorite movie discussing Peewey's Big Adventure is a
great story.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Heraldo Rivera, who worked with me over at Fox.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I was referencing the movie Pee's Big Adventure one day
and someone the question was, if you could have any
prop from any movie, what would you like, And someone
said I'd like the bike from Peewey's Big Adventure, at
which point I joked and said, you're out of luck
because it's in the basement of the Alamo. Heraldo jumps
in and goes the Alamo in San Antonio, and I go, Heraldo,

(23:57):
how many Alamos do you know? Like when someone yells
remember the Alamo, you never follow up with which one
you know?

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Right? Exactly?

Speaker 10 (24:07):
Which one?

Speaker 8 (24:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Remember the Alamo. Madam Ruby is the one who sent
them there. She was the dead end psychic that sent Peewee.
She read his palm and send them to the fake
basement in the Alamo. Unbelievable.

Speaker 10 (24:17):
That's right, That's right, Solway. Is that that's the that's
the prop that you would get for me or a vehicle.
I would get the transam from Smoking the Bandit. That
would be the one that and a couple of years ago,
I think the one from the sequel not quite as good,
was for sale. I think I think somebody was selling it. Uh.
And if I had had the money, of course I
would have gotten that. But it's that transam from that
from Smoking the Bandit from Making seventy seven came up

(24:38):
the same day as Star Wars, by the way, and
for me, I'd rather watch Smoking the Bandit right now.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
Yeah, because you know, waiting those movies came out the
same day.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
That's ye crazy, Oh that is crazy.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
What a time to be alive. But the but Smoking
the band That eventually stopped going. They're on Star Wars.
They're not even like pretending that it's not at this point,
it's like Star Wars episode ten.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
F you would you ave the title?

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Would you have been a Star Wars or Smoky Guy?
Which one would you have gone to see that night?

Speaker 2 (25:05):
At that age, I actually probably would have went to
Star Wars. But I loved Burt Reynolds. I mean, but
smoking the bandit.

Speaker 10 (25:11):
When it came out, you had to not yet there's
no way you could not see Star Wars. But you're right,
you know how to talk about the Internet's gonna keep
on going on, no matter what if the world dies
out or not. Same thing with the Star Wars movies.
You know it'll it'll you know, it'll be just darkness.
But somehow a new Star Wars movie or TV show
will come out.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Totally agree, Amen, Listen, these were not the droids we
were looking for, but this was the movie critique we
were looking for. Joe Newmyer, just take a bow. This
was epic stuff.

Speaker 10 (25:35):
Thanks Jamie. Great talk.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yet you two and man have a great weekend, the
great Joe new Meyer, I mean, just all around fantastic stuff.
But when we come back, I will have my final thoughts,
a recap of today's show, and we'll wrap it up
the way only I can. But first, the iHeart Radio
Music Festival. It is back September nineteenth and twentieth in
Las Vegas. It is two big nights on one big stage.
You get live performances by Brian Adams, John Fogerty, Sammy Hagar,

(25:59):
Ed Sheeran, Maroon five and more Hot Damn. The Capital
One pre Sale It means that cardholders have access to
tickets before the general public and that starts at one
pm today. It is only for a limited time, so
if you have the Capital One Access pass, the add
on will get you into an exclusive pre concert cardholder
event with a private performance by ll Cooljay on Friday

(26:19):
night and Jelly Roll on Saturday night. So you gotta
go to the iHeartRadio dot com slash Capital One get
your tickets now before they're gone. General public ticket sales
start Friday at two pm. Get moving and don't go anywhere,
because when we come back, Jimmy wraps it up. Here
we go now with some final thoughts as he sits
in for Larry today, here's Jimmy Fayla. We are in

(26:42):
the bottom of the ninth here on MENTI in the Morning.
It is Fala in the Morning, and I enjoyed it
so much. I am here to announce to the Tristate
area that tonight at nine pm, Fala in the Evening
is going live and local. We are ditching my national
talk show format you guys have me all to yourself.
I'm like a rental party clown, and you're gonna take
phone calls, yes, live, and we're taking phone calls all

(27:02):
the way through, like only your phone calls. We're boxing
out the other stations. This is a New York specific thing.
I'm basically like, you guys got a party bus and
hired a radio stripper, and you're gonna be driving around
the Tri State area doing whatever it is you do
in the back of that bus. Just bring a little
greenery for the scenery, you know what I'm saying. If
I'm gonna get out there and shake it and work
the poll, I just want to make sure I am

(27:23):
adequately compensated, as faila in the morning makes the transition
to fail in the evening. It's nine pm to midnight.
You guys better be there. I need the ratings. It's
not like I can go back to cab driving with
the driving record that I have.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
Like that ship sailed right, and I know this morning
you're you're probably a little more reserved than you normally are, right,
just a little more organized.

Speaker 7 (27:43):
Yeah, you were doing that.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
We had fun menty in the morning show, but tonight,
well you know it is Menty in the morning, I
know it is Natalie on adderall, but it's a totally
different It's very targeted, it's very organized. I loved it,
and I am happy to announced that when I go
off the air, mister New York Mark Simone has still
agreed to come up and do his show, despite rumors

(28:06):
that he might take the day off the stage and
intervention for Natalie and the seventy seven screen she brings
into the studio every day. Were you amish in another
life and you just broke free? You have that much
technology that I'm concerned, Is all I will say. But
Marx Simon is going to welcome political strategist Ed Rollins
and Fox Business analyst Charlie Gasparino. His office is right
down the hall from Miner. But you didn't know that, Natalie,

(28:29):
I did not. But now, courtesy of my man Crash,
a recap of two days show, let's go with wr
Newsmax host.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
See that we did.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
We cross pollinated Newsmax guy, Fox Guy got together. Rob
Astarino my main man. He thinks Andrew CuMo the guy
we see is the same we have seen him for
all along, meaning there's been no reburt. This is not
Cuomo two point zero. That's what I'm saying. It's not
an iPhone, you get one model here, it is.

Speaker 11 (28:55):
He has never done anything other than be the peacock right.
His dad was governor when he was growing up. So
he's walking around the executive mansion. He's telling everybody, you
know who I am, you know why I am. He's
always been driven around by cops, always lived in public
housing on our dime, so he doesn't know what else
to do, and he's like a scorpion. He is not

(29:16):
happy unless he's singing somebody, and this is this is
his life.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Well, not to be.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Clear, I'm not a Cuomo fan, but I too have
been driven around by cops quite a bit in my youth.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Reason.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, do you believe Cuomo was in the front though,
probably riding shotgun, whereas I had a different perch. I kid,
here is the second one. I believe this might be
me having a breakdown about this Japanese walking trend.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Take it away.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
There's a Japanese walking trend, and it may be better
than ten thousand steps a day and you only need
thirty minutes to do it. So this is what everyone
is kidding themselves into thinking will work now, right, guys, guys, listen,
eat a little bit better, stay active, okay, and you've
got a fighting chance in life. But every one of
these dumb fad are designed to get you interested in

(30:02):
working out again.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
That's true.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
And you are not interested in working out again.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
No, like I'll get it in.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
I mean, the problem with working out in New York,
for real is you can't tell who's going for a
jog and who's just getting chased. Yeah, we need to
clean this city up a little bit. It's hard to
tell these days. But the truth is, yeah, you can
always eat a little bit better. But I'm not out
there pushing dramatic weight loss because I've met a lot
of people that have lost so much weight they lose
the character in their face, you know, they almost become

(30:29):
this other thing. So that's my excuse, That's what I'm
going with. I don't want to lose so much.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
You stay real.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Thank you. I mean, it's Father's Day, Happy father, amen,
and thank you for ascertaining that I am, in fact
the father. I know a lot of people are touching
go based on the way I dressed. They're like, no,
this guy probably didn't impregnate a women in those rhyme stones.
He's probably not the dad, but.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
I am in fact the dad.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
But as promised, we have our talk back of the
morning and the winner of the Empty in the Morning
T shirt.

Speaker 12 (30:55):
Here we go, Jimmy Fayla. I am very very upset
with you, and it's your fault. You made me laugh
so hard that it ended up peeing my pants in
the car. This never would have happened with Larry, you know.
So I'm demanding compensation, so you can either send me
your gynecological records or send me a Mentee in the
Morning T shirt.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Well, in lieu of compensation, I'm sending you the Dunkin
Donuts cup that we used when we were cab drivers.
There's your restroom. Stay tuned for the ten o'clock news.
