Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Guardian Angel of talk radio is here. Curtis
leewa guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WOAR.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
As I continue on here in my substitution role, well
my new found friend, then station seven to ten woar,
which I hope will be all of yours, substituting for
the best guy in talk radio in the trich State area,
bar Non Mark Simone. I mean he's a smooth operator.
(00:38):
And I'll be with you until January second, the day
after the ball drops, you know, I'm in Times Square
with the Guardian Angels. And then the next day we'll
see about the inauguration of Johan Mandami with Bernie the
out the Coca Sanders standing there in city Hall. Look
a lot to deal with coming up, but a lot
(01:00):
to deal with me here and now, because is he
who's on the boards formerly a refugee from WABC. Used
to be always broadcasting Curtis No more, it's always booked
bashing Curtis so good, good that you hear? Is he
much better place? And as you know from my many
years of broadcasting, whenever the temperatures would get below freezing,
(01:25):
I would have a phrase that was taught to me
by my father Chester, who grew up in the Chicago
area right off of Lake Michigan, when there were real
winters with real snow storms twenty foot more before we
had global warming and climate change. I know a lot
(01:46):
of you it's a fake fake, it's not fake global
warming and climate change. Let me tell you it is
not fake. But no hawk is talking. Now, you're not city.
I've heard that phrase over the years. What does that mean?
The hawk is talking? Actually came out of Chicago's South Side,
(02:06):
where my dad was from and his family on the
polar side of my family forty six in Rockwell. I
actually spent four years going up there from ages one
to five and then came back to Brooklyn. But the
hawk was talking, I think was first said by Louis Armstrong.
(02:27):
That's say, play that horn. Louis from North Corona in Queens,
right opposite where Tony Bennet grew up, the crooner from Estoria,
the estorya kid. Yeah, oh they got him. You see
him near the house of Louis Armstrong. But Louis Armstrong
would come into the South Side black jazz clubs frequented
(02:49):
by whites and blacks, interracial crowd and because it felt
like it was forty degrees below zero wind chill fact
up because the winds were coming off of Lake Michigan.
He would say, the hawk is talking because his lips
which is so frozen. Like the other performers, they tell you, basically,
(03:10):
it's gonna take like five or ten minutes from my
lips to unfreeze. So I be able to play that
horn now, which probably didn't know, or maybe some of
you knew that Louis Armstrong probably consumed and inhaled and
exhaled more reef for more marijuana than anybody else during
(03:31):
the jazz era. That's what he was knowing. In fact,
he would actually shotgun you through the horn, which meant
basically he would inhale it and then exhal it through
the horn and right into your schnazola. Long before the
nineteen sixties, peace, love and happiness, Hate Ashbury Woodstock, half
(03:52):
a million strong up the New York State through it. Yeah,
a long time before the era that we called the
counterculture there. I grew up in the ear of the hippies,
era of the Hippies. Well, anyway, the hawk is talking,
and it reminded me at the times we would go
visit the Polish side of the family Christmas Easter. My
(04:15):
dad had put everybody in the fifty four Ford station
wagon Old Betsy, you know, whitewall tires, wood panels, and
we'd be going through all different areas. I mean, we
ended up going across Phillipsburg from Jersey, across the bridge
through Easton, which was the home of Larry Holmes world
(04:37):
champion heavyweight. Obviously not back in the early sixties when
we were riding through there. And then I remember Allentown
and Bethlehem had the US Steel Plan going. Now it's
a casino, and we go through Pittsburgh three ships around
the clock on an orange plume would hang over the
city because of all the steel mills. And then eventually
(04:58):
through Gary, Indiana, South Chicago, the steel mills there going
three shifts right into Chicago itself. That's when Steele was
king in the United States. Now you have US Steel
partly owned by the Japanese, partly owned by the United States.
To the Trump administration to keep all that steel being
made here, right boy, that's a throwback. And I remember
(05:22):
we'd go out to the sleep With compound. By then
they were out in Lockport, which was between Joliet had
that walled prison there in Chicago, and they had the subdivisions,
and my job was to go out and slap the hogs.
Oh yeah, slap the hogs after the feed for the family.
(05:44):
And I learned there were the two of the smartest
animals ever, the hogs, the pigs and the crows who
were out there in the cornfields, you know, with these
scarecrows trying to scam away. My dad, in fact, when
he was young, had Jimmy the crow was his pet.
He would fly with him to and from school to
Sherman Park in his public school, and he would wait
(06:06):
there on the window sill until my dad was ready
to walk home again to the south side. Forty six
and Brockwell, that's a little bit of that side issue.
But let's talk about this storm warning and the fact
that many of you are you know, well, you gotta
sort of go back in time to remember when heavy
(06:27):
snowfalls were common and now it's an exception to the rule.
And I've always said, why is it different now? I
say global warming, climate change. Look what's happening in southern
California there. It's like a tsunami has hit the area.
But oh no, no, it's of course not you know, Okay,
(06:48):
you could have your opinion. I have my opinion. But
I remember it'd be like fourteen sixteen foot of snow
had to go out, put the chains on the tires
the buses, the klang klang huge, I mean, the sanitation
bulldozers would push the snow all to an area, you know,
(07:11):
almost like amount rushmore there on the corners. You don't
have that anymore. And it's interesting as we were hearing
these forecasts, because Nancy was driving me all through the
tri state area visiting her relatives.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And also, oh, some interesting information I picked up at
a copper crow remember as the crow flies. That's on
Broadway and Olmony Capitol Land. What is that is the
crow flies? It's the most direct straight line distance between
two places. Yep, a great place, coppyler. And man, did
(07:47):
I learn a lot about how Republicans are throwing the
party under the bus that will not have those chains,
those old iron chains at all. No, no, no, no, but
thrown under the bush with as you know, Alice Stephonic
leaving the race. Oh that's gonna be operation hush hush,
(08:09):
mush much. You're not gonna want to miss it because
I'm connecting all the dots. As i worked my way
through troy Almanies, connected the Hamilton Hill, all these places
again with the predictions where snow. You know snow is coming.
What I said as the crow flies, a lot of
(08:32):
crows up there, smart animals, smart birds and anyway, I
said to myself, Wow. And then people coming up to me,
no matter where I was, because obviously I'm wearing the
red but Ray, the red SAT Team jacket, and they're
giving me all kinds of information about what I should
be doing with my life. Yeah, is he I'm up
there in Capitol Leant. Oh man, you should be on
(08:54):
WG wire. I heard you on WO off and watch
some morth. I said, why would I want to be
on WGY A ten big station up there in Albany.
But I'm not coming up here at Albany. I've spent
time in the South End in Aubury, Hilm. I'm not
coming up to Albany. And then on my way down
at one of those rest stops in the New York
State Thruway, you know, before we hit Marwall. You know,
(09:17):
we went from Rockland and then into New Jersey and
now threw Fortney over the GW bridge and I looked
up and there was Eric Adams, a swaggerman with no plans,
apartment that he's lived in for years, you know, with
his what is no his boo, his beard, Tracy and
then the other girl friend, the weightlifter underneath apartment twenty
(09:37):
two eighth. I'm not going to give you the address,
And I said to myself, man, I've come full circle.
And then as we finally get into the apartment, it's
in the wee hours in the morning, and what does
my wife do, Nancy the best thing that ever happened
to me. She starts binge watching The Office, you know,
(09:58):
the show from Stratton, Jersey with Steve Carell as Michael
and Dwight and Jim. And she's got on the episode
which is I guess you'd call it the snowball episode
Classy Christmas, in which the whole concept is it's not
a real snowfall if it's just a dusting of snow.
(10:21):
Oh man, if you haven't seen this, you gotta you
gotta watch that episode. Well, one of my favorite TV shows. Again,
Nancy loves to binge watch, you know. As we come
into New Year's I'll be very busy, as I always am,
but uh never busy enough to miss Rod shirling in
the Twilight Zone and the non stop showing of some
(10:42):
of the greatest TV programs of all time. Speaking of
upstate New York state, if he was from Beington, New York,
Day finally put up a statue to his honor in
the park. Deb Boy, I'm moving in a lot of
different directions here because a true snow snowfall is determined
by whether you can make snowballs, whether it's packing snow,
(11:04):
because if it's too light, you can't make a snowfall.
Even if there's some accumulation, it's all about packing snow.
And already you heard the news reports are there. They're
moving out there with all the rock salt. They're spreading
it in advance. Why why you know is he where
the rock salt comes from? Do you have any idea
(11:26):
underneath Detroit? When I was in Detroit, they have canyons
under ground in which they are mining salt rock salt
now for de icing, But back then when I first
saw it, leather, food, processing, all things underneath Detroit, a
thousand feet down. I don't know if people will where
(11:48):
are that that's where the salt comes from. And I'm saying,
why are you gonna throw salt on the ground. First
of all, it's gonna eat up the asphalt. Then you're
gonna have potholes of the size of lunar craters. And
then while you're driving along they already hate drivers in
so many places, especially New York City. Now you're undercarriage
(12:09):
is gonna be thrown out all of a sudden, Your
bull bearings will need adjustment, your trott will end up
sort of becoming bent into shape. You have to end
up in a fender bended shop. And a lot of
that has to do with it's spreading rock salt to ride.
Why not do what they do it up in Wisconsin
where they're used to actual snow or for lake mission
(12:31):
in Milwaukee. Is they spread a combination of beats, yeah, beats,
a brine or a cheese brine so that it doesn't
end up destroying the asphalt and creating those potholes which
become lunar craters. And by the way, then the deer
(12:53):
come out. That's the other problem in Wisconsin. The deer
come out and they want to lick up the beets
and the cheese off the asphalt. And boy, we saw
a lot of deer on all way down coming from
Capital Land last night. And I know for some of
you you look at deer as if it's agent Orange
(13:14):
in hooves, because they eat up everything like a pac
Man packed woman. Don't say that to my wife, Nancy,
Oh my god, you'd be going to war with her.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Look, that's just a little thumbnail sketch where I was
and what we were doing as a family. And also
the information that I learned on this lie hush hush,
much mush about how Key Republicans are working in tandem
to destroy the Republican Party as we know it in
(13:50):
New York State, New York City and actually turn it
into a wing of the old moderate Democratic Party. Well,
you don't want to go anywhere? Are you gonna go anywhere?
All this information that I'm bringing to you, Like Paul Revere,
I'm warning you in advance, doing all the groundwork, and
(14:10):
now it's in your place to be. Seven ten War
our favorite radio station in the sliewa household, and yeah,
our cats love listening to it too. The Voice of
New York. The numbers eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten. That's eight hundred three to two one zero
seven ten. The Pulse of New York.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Now on the Voice of New York, Curtis Sleewall guest
host from Marximon on seven ten war.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Let's talk about it being the pulse of the tri
state area. That's where I was in the last forty
eight hours since I was talking to all of U
s ubstooting for Mark and Grey was with the orange cone. Hell,
you know, if you driving around, they got the orange cones,
and they got the orange barrels there with the reflector
(15:07):
tape so you could see it at night. And you
say to yourself, that's symptomatic of the problems that we
have with our infrastructure wherever you see those throughout Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Upstate New York, wherever we went here in
New York City. And Nancy had the responsibility to drive,
(15:28):
believe it or not. I don't have a driver's license.
I've driven before when I was a teenager. You know,
it took to test, obviously, no problem. The written part
problem was parallel parking. I had long hair at the time.
My cousin Lenny beans me on Chino said, Hey, just
put a twenty. Just put a twenty there right right,
(15:50):
so that the instructor could see it. You'll pass. I
wasn't going to bribe the instructor. And he did not
like long hair. He attributed it or you must be
a hip, must be part of the anti war movement.
And every time it would get to the parallel parking stage,
I would flub it. No license, but I drove for years,
but I don't drive now. My wife asked to do
(16:13):
all the driving, and all she asked for all she needs,
Like for so many of you listening wherever you are,
even throughout the world as you're listening, is seven to
ten WR because I know you are. You're contacting me. Oh,
listening to it in Shanghai, that was interesting. But anyway,
(16:34):
my wife, she just needs a good cup of cool feet.
So yesterday, as you know, a lot of places that
closed for Christmas, the only time of the year they closed.
And we're at a Starbucks and all places Troy, New York.
It's open and not far from Russell Stage College. Great,
(16:55):
great college. Yeah, and were you in there like an hour?
Just get a cup corfee and like I'm not gonna complain.
My wife Nancy. She's doing all the driving, but it's
like an hour for a cup coolfee. We could have
gone to one of the gas stations and she goes,
I ain't drinking gas station coffee, No way. And we
(17:19):
waited an hour and Nancy got her coffeeing. Oh, it
was like a mood elevator without that coffee. Lookout, you're
like like Sybil, multiple personalities, I mean, quite ease, and
I'm sure there are a lot of people out there
the same way. But she got that cup of octane,
(17:39):
that coffee, and she was good to go, and we
continued on our way. But there's fear, fright and hysteria
over the coming snow, and I'm saying it's as we
talk about now the segue into Zora Mandami being sworn
in as mayor, And I know a lot of you
are moaning and groaning, and you you can't get over
(18:01):
the election. He won the election. Get used to it.
If he does good, the city does good, we all
do good, the state does good, America does good. But
for some of you, you want the guy to crash
and burn. I mean every step of the way. Look
that's your thing, but I'll tell you this one of
those litmus tests used to be not just in Chicago,
(18:24):
where my dad would take us during the holidays to
visit that side of the family, and I remember there
was a Mayor Blandict there. He didn't get the snow up,
and guess what, he lost the election in a primary
to Mayor Jane Burn simply because he couldn't get the
snow up. Had that happened in New York City, John
Lindsay Forest Hills, Oh, the mounds of snow, and he
(18:48):
lost the Republican line to run for reelection in sixty
nine to one on the Liberal line instead because of
the miracle Mets of sixty nine winning and him claiming
he was a lifelong Met fan, of which he couldn't
be like at that time. I only came around since
the early sixties. But typical political form, he lied and
he rode that to victory. But the point being is
(19:09):
with the snows. I remember Rudy Giuliani getting elected, and
I had campaigned with him when he lost first against
David Dinkins I eighty nine and then when he won
ninety three, and that first two years had more snow
than I ever saw before. In fact, it was that one,
(19:30):
which I think it was like h January twentieth, if
I'm gonna remembering nineteen ninety six, so like maybe the
second year of his mayoralty at thirty inches in Staten Island,
they were twenty inches here in the city. They were
using like salt everywhere. It was like eleven storms that
clobbered us in that year. Loan, I remember it, and
(19:51):
you say to yourself, we don't have that now, and
so you ask yourself, well, why don't we have that.
We're not talking about back into the sixties or the
seventies as I began this program, but right back to
nineteen ninety six and a series of snowstorms, and now
(20:13):
we don't have them anymore. And unfortunately Eric Adams is
still the mayor. Is he in any country today? Is
he in Switzerland? Is he in the Caribbean? Western Who
knows that taxpayers expense? And who cares? But the city
claims they're ready, They got all the rock salt ready,
They're already putting a little salt out into the asphalt.
(20:33):
And I'm saying to myself, man, that's gonna eat up
you go along that FDR drivers already a mess, right
you go south from forty second Street, the FTERR Drive.
You're going down past Houston Street a mess. It's like
lunar crater. Hell, nobody fixes it, and this will make
it that much worse. But oh my god, people got
(20:57):
ready to hunker down. How will we survive? What four
inches six inches maybe eight inches? Imagine when it was
regular twenty inches thirty inches. Oh, so much to reminisce about,
but so much to talk about, because it's really your
turn to be heard. That that's really what talk radio
(21:17):
is about. And I'm gonna give you all an opportunity
on my newfound station on what I hope will be yours.
Listen to station seven ten wor to participate. So is
you gotta be ready? You're multitasking here this morning. Eight
hundred three two one zero seven ten. That's eight hundred
(21:40):
three two one zero seven ten. And by the way,
if you're stun god, you know, if you dank too
much of the eggnog there was spiked, Hey, don't bother
call it because I can talk my way to the
break of dawn. As you know, I said, Boy, what
a great Christmas present to be able to do it
here on seventy ten wor to all of you in
(22:06):
the Tri state area beyond our number's one eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten. That's one eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten. And up next a
bunch of brothers who were handling those uh orange cones
last night told me I should be doing something else. Yeah,
everybody's an expert out there. Everybody tells me I voted
(22:27):
for you. How'd you vote for me in Hamilton Hill
in Schenectady. Well, well I would have voted for you
if I was in the city. You cocka down, you Pinocchio,
you're lying. I know you want to make me feel better.
But some of the brothers is he were telling me
what I should be doing with my life now. Everybody
(22:48):
is a program director, everybody is a soothsayer. Everybody wants
to tell me what I should be doing here. Uh
when in fact, you couldn't have been more hopelessly wrong.
What eight hundred and three to one zero seventen.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The Voice that fights for New York literally Curtis Sleewalk
guest host for Mark Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Woor oh, you don't want to miss it. As I
was up in the Capitol Land area for the Christmas
holiday to be with Nancy and her family members. Also
is doing some side work getting information about how the
Republican leadership has thrown the party under the bus, this
(23:39):
time against Congresswoman at least staphonic for Kathy the Grifter Hockel,
who was in New York City meeting with key Republicans
lining them up because it's all about following the money.
It's all about follow the money. Oh, I learned a
lot at the Copper Crow right there on Broadway in Almany.
(24:01):
Remember as the crow flies cool and by the way,
the hawk is talking out there. So we'll talk about
this hysteria and fear and is sweeping the area because
oh my god, there might be six to eight ten
inches maybe more of snow. And I'm saying to myself, boy,
it used to be that all the time as we
(24:24):
would approach the new year. But let's go to the
phones right now, and it's Rob Who's calling from Montclair,
New Jersey. Your turn to be heard? He on seven
to ten, wor Rob.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Hey, Curtis. During that campaign, I heard you maligned a lot,
and I told my friends, you know, I know one
thing about this guy, and it tells me everything about him.
I teach you the school when Montclair Montclair State University,
and many many years ago, you came with. I guess
it was a WABC basketball team to play the local people.
(25:00):
You probably don't even remember. Well, you got there really
early and I was going to teach a class and
I recognized you, and I said, Curtis, could you speak
to my class. You came, you spoke to him, You
answered questions. You were as sweet as kind as a
person could be. And that tells me everything I need
to know about you.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Wow. And you remember, and I remember we got beat
badly the leader of the team at that point basketball
team because I was known for my sharp elbows. You
got into the paint. I was going to put a
herding on your kidneys and your ribs. Don't come into
the paint. You better be shooting from three point range.
(25:41):
Was Mitch Dolan, who was the general manager and Grandpoopa
of all the stations at that time over at WABC,
and that guy was a sharp shooter from the outside.
He used to call him, Hey, you know, he's like
the six man off the bench. He come in, boom
in a knock a few back. Oh, I remember those memories.
(26:04):
That was good, Rob, that was good. Let's go if
we can to Ellen, who's calling also from New Jersey.
Your turn to be heard here at seven to ten
wor Ellen.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Hi, Curtis. I am so thrilled to speak with you,
and so thrilled that you're back on the air. I've
listened to you for so many years with Angels in
the Morning and Curtis and Coobe, and then of course
I got very little sleep because I was listening to
on the weekends overnight on that other station, in additional
listening to your friend Frank overnight also. But I wanted
(26:39):
to ask you something about your father. It's been bothering
me for years. Do you happen to know if your
father was a member of the National Maritime Union.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
YEAP for close to fifty years he was a delegate.
He would actually go to battle with the trustees and
the leader of the National Maritime Union, who was corrupt,
Joe Kerr.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I know.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
And the reason I'm asking is because for years my
father had had a wholesale optical business and then he
lost it and he wound up working for the National
Maritime Union in that building where all the seamen would
comforted medical needs. And I worked there in the summers,
So chances are your father I met your father.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Oh yeah. And plus back then, you'd have to shape
up for work. So I'd go with my dad and
he'd have to shape up. He was a boson at
that time, which is like the equivalent of his sergeant.
You know, he's part of the union National Maritime Union,
but really a part of management. Also you can't win
for it, and he'd have to shape up like everyone
else to catch a ship that was going out right
(27:49):
near Fourteenth Street where you had the National Maritime Union headquarters.
And it's that building that makes it look like it's
the side of a passenger ship with all those windows.
No longer obviously National Maritime Union. But boy, tremendous stories
that my dad would tell me when he would come home.
He'd be shipped out eight months a year, at home
(28:11):
four months a year, and to make ancillary income, he'd
go out there because he was a master craftsman, and
he worked for my cousin Joey g to teach from
Howard beat you at a construction firm in order so
that me my older sister a leader, my younger sister
Maria to get all the things that we wanted or
(28:33):
didn't want, like my mother forcing me to play the
piano for four years. I hated that every second of
the day that I played. And then when it was
time for my recital at a nearby synagogue in Knarsi,
I was playing Rockmaninoff on the stage. My younger sister,
Maria had played, made every mistake in the world, got
a standing ovation, didn't bother her. My oldest sister, a
(28:57):
very accomplished pianist, and I played rockmano Off. Way through
is He, I forgot where I was. I walked away
from the piano and never came back to play the
piano again. I hated that my friends would be outside. Hey,
come on, Curtis, I gotta practice my piano. Really, are
(29:18):
you a mama Luke? Look as my mom and dad said,
as long as we pay the bills here and you're
living under our roof in our house, you'll follow our rules.
Or hey, you're welcome to hit the highway out there.
See how difficult life is. Oh, what what great role
models they were. They're no longer with us anyway. Let's
(29:41):
go to Glenn, who was calling from New Jersey, your
turn to be heard here on seven ten wo R Glene, goodbody.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Curtis over at the other station there where Greg Kelly
has been disparaging you incredible for the first hour of
his show. He spoke nothing about anything but Curtis and
Curtis this, Curtis that, and so forth. He's a loser.
(30:11):
And I had to call in and tell and tell
Greg that he and w R O you a debt
of gratitude for giving one hour of free publicity because
I mentioned to him two quotes. T. T. Bonham said, famously,
(30:32):
any publicity is good publicity, and Oscar Wilde said, the
only thing in the world worse than being talked about
is not being talked about.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I gotta tell you, Glenn, so you know Greg Kelly
never comes prepared for a show. That's why you would
listen to Mark Simon. That would be his show prep.
You would actually admit that I'm listening to Mark and
then taking notes. He has no Mark to listen to.
He hates listening to me and gives him something to
talk about because he'd always run out of steam. That's
(31:04):
why they had me in the bullpen. You better jump
in there with Greg he's rowing he's running out of
things to talk about because he didn't do his show prep.
You just don't come on the air and think think
you're gonna be able to do talk radio. Oh no, oh, Bob.
By the way, a suggestion for me by a work
coup at the MTA coming up, You're never gonna oh yes,
(31:26):
you might actually conceive it. This you don't want to
go anywhere, And I'll tell you the true nitty gritty
secret of what's going on behind the scenes as the
Republican leadership in New York State now, as they did
in New York City, are selling out to moderate Democrats,
and they did it against elist Dephonic Now More.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
With New York's iconic straight shooter Curtis Leewah guest hosting
from Mark Simone on seven ten.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Wah No, I came out of the subway this morning.
I always do with the MTA money taking agency. Some
workers there, the brothers, and they were telling me everybody
is giving me advice. Yo, man, you should be on
Hot ninety seven. More gangs, more drugs, more drivies. No no, no,
no no. Apparently they had a show that got wiped
(32:16):
out Ebro in the morning. I only knew the one
guy there, Peter Rosenberg. But hey, that's tough times. I
get that, but I ain't. I'm not doing hip hop radio.
And so while we heard you on Charlemagne the God
the Breakfast Glove, Yeah, during the campaign, and I could
kick it with people about hip hop in the streets,
(32:36):
no doubt about it. By the way, I see iHeart
products Charlemagne that got signed up rebooted for like Aaron
Judge money. Hey, he deserves. He told the great story
how his wife took him to his first internship. He
didn't have a car, he didn't have a nickel dimond
penny to his name at a radio station and had
(32:58):
to drive him to him from the job. Well, the
rest is history. And then the brothers were saying, you
saw Nicki MINAJATOI yeah, man, she was attacking the Muslims
for killing Christians in Nigeria. And the President heard it
and he responded, I say, you don't really think that.
Trump responded to Nicki Minajatin, Well, we come back right
(33:22):
here on your new place to be seven ten wor
Now the Guardian Angel of talk radio is here. Curtis
leewa guest host the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WOAR.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
As I continue on here in my substitution role, well
my new found friend, then station seven to ten woar,
which I hope will be all of yours, substituting for
the best guy in talk radio in the trich State area,
bar Non Mark Simone. I mean he's a smooth operator.
(00:38):
And I'll be with you until January second, the day
after the ball drops, you know, I'm in Times Square
with the Guardian Angels. And then the next day we'll
see about the inauguration of Johan Mandami with Bernie the
out the Coca Sanders standing there in city Hall. Look
a lot to deal with coming up, but a lot
(01:00):
to deal with me here and now, because is he
who's on the boards formerly a refugee from WABC. Used
to be always broadcasting Curtis No more, it's always booked
bashing Curtis so good, good that you hear? Is he
much better place? And as you know from my many
years of broadcasting, whenever the temperatures would get below freezing,
(01:25):
I would have a phrase that was taught to me
by my father Chester, who grew up in the Chicago
area right off of Lake Michigan, when there were real
winters with real snow storms twenty foot more before we
had global warming and climate change. I know a lot
(01:46):
of you it's a fake fake, it's not fake global
warming and climate change. Let me tell you it is
not fake. But no hawk is talking. Now, you're not city.
I've heard that phrase over the years. What does that mean?
The hawk is talking? Actually came out of Chicago's South Side,
(02:06):
where my dad was from and his family on the
polar side of my family forty six in Rockwell. I
actually spent four years going up there from ages one
to five and then came back to Brooklyn. But the
hawk was talking, I think was first said by Louis Armstrong.
(02:27):
That's say, play that horn. Louis from North Corona in Queens,
right opposite where Tony Bennet grew up, the crooner from Estoria,
the estorya kid. Yeah, oh they got him. You see
him near the house of Louis Armstrong. But Louis Armstrong
would come into the South Side black jazz clubs frequented
(02:49):
by whites and blacks, interracial crowd and because it felt
like it was forty degrees below zero wind chill fact
up because the winds were coming off of Lake Michigan.
He would say, the hawk is talking because his lips
which is so frozen. Like the other performers, they tell you, basically,
(03:10):
it's gonna take like five or ten minutes from my
lips to unfreeze. So I be able to play that
horn now, which probably didn't know, or maybe some of
you knew that Louis Armstrong probably consumed and inhaled and
exhaled more reef for more marijuana than anybody else during
(03:31):
the jazz era. That's what he was knowing. In fact,
he would actually shotgun you through the horn, which meant
basically he would inhale it and then exhal it through
the horn and right into your schnazola. Long before the
nineteen sixties, peace, love and happiness, Hate Ashbury Woodstock, half
(03:52):
a million strong up the New York State through it. Yeah,
a long time before the era that we called the
counterculture there. I grew up in the ear of the hippies,
era of the Hippies. Well, anyway, the hawk is talking,
and it reminded me at the times we would go
visit the Polish side of the family Christmas Easter. My
(04:15):
dad had put everybody in the fifty four Ford station
wagon Old Betsy, you know, whitewall tires, wood panels, and
we'd be going through all different areas. I mean, we
ended up going across Phillipsburg from Jersey, across the bridge
through Easton, which was the home of Larry Holmes world
(04:37):
champion heavyweight. Obviously not back in the early sixties when
we were riding through there. And then I remember Allentown
and Bethlehem had the US Steel Plan going. Now it's
a casino, and we go through Pittsburgh three ships around
the clock on an orange plume would hang over the
city because of all the steel mills. And then eventually
(04:58):
through Gary, Indiana, South Chicago, the steel mills there going
three shifts right into Chicago itself. That's when Steele was
king in the United States. Now you have US Steel
partly owned by the Japanese, partly owned by the United States.
To the Trump administration to keep all that steel being
made here, right boy, that's a throwback. And I remember
(05:22):
we'd go out to the sleep With compound. By then
they were out in Lockport, which was between Joliet had
that walled prison there in Chicago, and they had the subdivisions,
and my job was to go out and slap the hogs.
Oh yeah, slap the hogs after the feed for the family.
(05:44):
And I learned there were the two of the smartest
animals ever, the hogs, the pigs and the crows who
were out there in the cornfields, you know, with these
scarecrows trying to scam away. My dad, in fact, when
he was young, had Jimmy the crow was his pet.
He would fly with him to and from school to
Sherman Park in his public school, and he would wait
(06:06):
there on the window sill until my dad was ready
to walk home again to the south side. Forty six
and Brockwell, that's a little bit of that side issue.
But let's talk about this storm warning and the fact
that many of you are you know, well, you gotta
sort of go back in time to remember when heavy
(06:27):
snowfalls were common and now it's an exception to the rule.
And I've always said, why is it different now? I
say global warming, climate change. Look what's happening in southern
California there. It's like a tsunami has hit the area.
But oh no, no, it's of course not you know, Okay,
(06:48):
you could have your opinion. I have my opinion. But
I remember it'd be like fourteen sixteen foot of snow
had to go out, put the chains on the tires
the buses, the klang klang huge, I mean, the sanitation
bulldozers would push the snow all to an area, you know,
(07:11):
almost like amount rushmore there on the corners. You don't
have that anymore. And it's interesting as we were hearing
these forecasts, because Nancy was driving me all through the
tri state area visiting her relatives.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
And also, oh, some interesting information I picked up at
a copper crow remember as the crow flies. That's on
Broadway and Olmony Capitol Land. What is that is the
crow flies? It's the most direct straight line distance between
two places. Yep, a great place, coppyler. And man, did
(07:47):
I learn a lot about how Republicans are throwing the
party under the bus that will not have those chains,
those old iron chains at all. No, no, no, no, but
thrown under the bush with as you know, Alice Stephonic
leaving the race. Oh that's gonna be operation hush hush,
(08:09):
mush much. You're not gonna want to miss it because
I'm connecting all the dots. As i worked my way
through troy Almanies, connected the Hamilton Hill, all these places
again with the predictions where snow. You know snow is coming.
What I said as the crow flies, a lot of
(08:32):
crows up there, smart animals, smart birds and anyway, I
said to myself, Wow. And then people coming up to me,
no matter where I was, because obviously I'm wearing the
red but Ray, the red SAT Team jacket, and they're
giving me all kinds of information about what I should
be doing with my life. Yeah, is he I'm up
there in Capitol Leant. Oh man, you should be on
(08:54):
WG wire. I heard you on WO off and watch
some morth. I said, why would I want to be
on WGY A ten big station up there in Albany.
But I'm not coming up here at Albany. I've spent
time in the South End in Aubury, Hilm. I'm not
coming up to Albany. And then on my way down
at one of those rest stops in the New York
State Thruway, you know, before we hit Marwall. You know,
(09:17):
we went from Rockland and then into New Jersey and
now threw Fortney over the GW bridge and I looked
up and there was Eric Adams, a swaggerman with no plans,
apartment that he's lived in for years, you know, with
his what is no his boo, his beard, Tracy and
then the other girl friend, the weightlifter underneath apartment twenty
(09:37):
two eighth. I'm not going to give you the address,
And I said to myself, man, I've come full circle.
And then as we finally get into the apartment, it's
in the wee hours in the morning, and what does
my wife do, Nancy the best thing that ever happened
to me. She starts binge watching The Office, you know,
(09:58):
the show from Stratton, Jersey with Steve Carell as Michael
and Dwight and Jim. And she's got on the episode
which is I guess you'd call it the snowball episode
Classy Christmas, in which the whole concept is it's not
a real snowfall if it's just a dusting of snow.
(10:21):
Oh man, if you haven't seen this, you gotta you
gotta watch that episode. Well, one of my favorite TV shows. Again,
Nancy loves to binge watch, you know. As we come
into New Year's I'll be very busy, as I always am,
but uh never busy enough to miss Rod shirling in
the Twilight Zone and the non stop showing of some
(10:42):
of the greatest TV programs of all time. Speaking of
upstate New York state, if he was from Beington, New York,
Day finally put up a statue to his honor in
the park. Deb Boy, I'm moving in a lot of
different directions here because a true snow snowfall is determined
by whether you can make snowballs, whether it's packing snow,
(11:04):
because if it's too light, you can't make a snowfall.
Even if there's some accumulation, it's all about packing snow.
And already you heard the news reports are there. They're
moving out there with all the rock salt. They're spreading
it in advance. Why why you know is he where
the rock salt comes from? Do you have any idea
(11:26):
underneath Detroit? When I was in Detroit, they have canyons
under ground in which they are mining salt rock salt
now for de icing, But back then when I first
saw it, leather, food, processing, all things underneath Detroit, a
thousand feet down. I don't know if people will where
(11:48):
are that that's where the salt comes from. And I'm saying,
why are you gonna throw salt on the ground. First
of all, it's gonna eat up the asphalt. Then you're
gonna have potholes of the size of lunar craters. And
then while you're driving along they already hate drivers in
so many places, especially New York City. Now you're undercarriage
(12:09):
is gonna be thrown out all of a sudden, Your
bull bearings will need adjustment, your trott will end up
sort of becoming bent into shape. You have to end
up in a fender bended shop. And a lot of
that has to do with it's spreading rock salt to ride.
Why not do what they do it up in Wisconsin
where they're used to actual snow or for lake mission
(12:31):
in Milwaukee. Is they spread a combination of beats, yeah, beats,
a brine or a cheese brine so that it doesn't
end up destroying the asphalt and creating those potholes which
become lunar craters. And by the way, then the deer
(12:53):
come out. That's the other problem in Wisconsin. The deer
come out and they want to lick up the beets
and the cheese off the asphalt. And boy, we saw
a lot of deer on all way down coming from
Capital Land last night. And I know for some of
you you look at deer as if it's agent Orange
(13:14):
in hooves, because they eat up everything like a pac
Man packed woman. Don't say that to my wife, Nancy,
Oh my god, you'd be going to war with her.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Look, that's just a little thumbnail sketch where I was
and what we were doing as a family. And also
the information that I learned on this lie hush hush,
much mush about how Key Republicans are working in tandem
to destroy the Republican Party as we know it in
(13:50):
New York State, New York City and actually turn it
into a wing of the old moderate Democratic Party. Well,
you don't want to go anywhere? Are you gonna go anywhere?
All this information that I'm bringing to you, Like Paul Revere,
I'm warning you in advance, doing all the groundwork, and
(14:10):
now it's in your place to be. Seven ten War
our favorite radio station in the sliewa household, and yeah,
our cats love listening to it too. The Voice of
New York. The numbers eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten. That's eight hundred three to two one zero
seven ten. The Pulse of New York.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Now on the Voice of New York, Curtis Sleewall guest
host from Marximon on seven ten war.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Let's talk about it being the pulse of the tri
state area. That's where I was in the last forty
eight hours since I was talking to all of U
s ubstooting for Mark and Grey was with the orange cone. Hell,
you know, if you driving around, they got the orange cones,
and they got the orange barrels there with the reflector
(15:07):
tape so you could see it at night. And you
say to yourself, that's symptomatic of the problems that we
have with our infrastructure wherever you see those throughout Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Upstate New York, wherever we went here in
New York City. And Nancy had the responsibility to drive,
(15:28):
believe it or not. I don't have a driver's license.
I've driven before when I was a teenager. You know,
it took to test, obviously, no problem. The written part
problem was parallel parking. I had long hair at the time.
My cousin Lenny beans me on Chino said, Hey, just
put a twenty. Just put a twenty there right right,
(15:50):
so that the instructor could see it. You'll pass. I
wasn't going to bribe the instructor. And he did not
like long hair. He attributed it or you must be
a hip, must be part of the anti war movement.
And every time it would get to the parallel parking stage,
I would flub it. No license, but I drove for years,
but I don't drive now. My wife asked to do
(16:13):
all the driving, and all she asked for all she needs,
Like for so many of you listening wherever you are,
even throughout the world as you're listening, is seven to
ten WR because I know you are. You're contacting me. Oh,
listening to it in Shanghai, that was interesting. But anyway,
(16:34):
my wife, she just needs a good cup of cool feet.
So yesterday, as you know, a lot of places that
closed for Christmas, the only time of the year they closed.
And we're at a Starbucks and all places Troy, New York.
It's open and not far from Russell Stage College. Great,
(16:55):
great college. Yeah, and were you in there like an hour?
Just get a cup corfee and like I'm not gonna complain.
My wife Nancy. She's doing all the driving, but it's
like an hour for a cup coolfee. We could have
gone to one of the gas stations and she goes,
I ain't drinking gas station coffee, No way. And we
(17:19):
waited an hour and Nancy got her coffeeing. Oh, it
was like a mood elevator without that coffee. Lookout, you're
like like Sybil, multiple personalities, I mean, quite ease, and
I'm sure there are a lot of people out there
the same way. But she got that cup of octane,
(17:39):
that coffee, and she was good to go, and we
continued on our way. But there's fear, fright and hysteria
over the coming snow, and I'm saying it's as we
talk about now the segue into Zora Mandami being sworn
in as mayor, And I know a lot of you
are moaning and groaning, and you you can't get over
(18:01):
the election. He won the election. Get used to it.
If he does good, the city does good, we all
do good, the state does good, America does good. But
for some of you, you want the guy to crash
and burn. I mean every step of the way. Look
that's your thing, but I'll tell you this one of
those litmus tests used to be not just in Chicago,
(18:24):
where my dad would take us during the holidays to
visit that side of the family, and I remember there
was a Mayor Blandict there. He didn't get the snow up,
and guess what, he lost the election in a primary
to Mayor Jane Burn simply because he couldn't get the
snow up. Had that happened in New York City, John
Lindsay Forest Hills, Oh, the mounds of snow, and he
(18:48):
lost the Republican line to run for reelection in sixty
nine to one on the Liberal line instead because of
the miracle Mets of sixty nine winning and him claiming
he was a lifelong Met fan, of which he couldn't
be like at that time. I only came around since
the early sixties. But typical political form, he lied and
he rode that to victory. But the point being is
(19:09):
with the snows. I remember Rudy Giuliani getting elected, and
I had campaigned with him when he lost first against
David Dinkins I eighty nine and then when he won
ninety three, and that first two years had more snow
than I ever saw before. In fact, it was that one,
(19:30):
which I think it was like h January twentieth, if
I'm gonna remembering nineteen ninety six, so like maybe the
second year of his mayoralty at thirty inches in Staten Island,
they were twenty inches here in the city. They were
using like salt everywhere. It was like eleven storms that
clobbered us in that year. Loan, I remember it, and
(19:51):
you say to yourself, we don't have that now, and
so you ask yourself, well, why don't we have that.
We're not talking about back into the sixties or the
seventies as I began this program, but right back to
nineteen ninety six and a series of snowstorms, and now
(20:13):
we don't have them anymore. And unfortunately Eric Adams is
still the mayor. Is he in any country today? Is
he in Switzerland? Is he in the Caribbean? Western Who
knows that taxpayers expense? And who cares? But the city
claims they're ready, They got all the rock salt ready,
They're already putting a little salt out into the asphalt.
(20:33):
And I'm saying to myself, man, that's gonna eat up
you go along that FDR drivers already a mess, right
you go south from forty second Street, the FTERR Drive.
You're going down past Houston Street a mess. It's like
lunar crater. Hell, nobody fixes it, and this will make
it that much worse. But oh my god, people got
(20:57):
ready to hunker down. How will we survive? What four
inches six inches maybe eight inches? Imagine when it was
regular twenty inches thirty inches. Oh, so much to reminisce about,
but so much to talk about, because it's really your
turn to be heard. That that's really what talk radio
(21:17):
is about. And I'm gonna give you all an opportunity
on my newfound station on what I hope will be yours.
Listen to station seven ten wor to participate. So is
you gotta be ready? You're multitasking here this morning. Eight
hundred three two one zero seven ten. That's eight hundred
(21:40):
three two one zero seven ten. And by the way,
if you're stun god, you know, if you dank too
much of the eggnog there was spiked, Hey, don't bother
call it because I can talk my way to the
break of dawn. As you know, I said, Boy, what
a great Christmas present to be able to do it
here on seventy ten wor to all of you in
(22:06):
the Tri state area beyond our number's one eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten. That's one eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten. And up next a
bunch of brothers who were handling those uh orange cones
last night told me I should be doing something else. Yeah,
everybody's an expert out there. Everybody tells me I voted
(22:27):
for you. How'd you vote for me in Hamilton Hill
in Schenectady. Well, well I would have voted for you
if I was in the city. You cocka down, you Pinocchio,
you're lying. I know you want to make me feel better.
But some of the brothers is he were telling me
what I should be doing with my life now. Everybody
(22:48):
is a program director, everybody is a soothsayer. Everybody wants
to tell me what I should be doing here. Uh
when in fact, you couldn't have been more hopelessly wrong.
What eight hundred and three to one zero seventen.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
The Voice that fights for New York literally Curtis Sleewalk
guest host for Mark Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Woor oh, you don't want to miss it. As I
was up in the Capitol Land area for the Christmas
holiday to be with Nancy and her family members. Also
is doing some side work getting information about how the
Republican leadership has thrown the party under the bus, this
(23:39):
time against Congresswoman at least staphonic for Kathy the Grifter Hockel,
who was in New York City meeting with key Republicans
lining them up because it's all about following the money.
It's all about follow the money. Oh, I learned a
lot at the Copper Crow right there on Broadway in Almany.
(24:01):
Remember as the crow flies cool and by the way,
the hawk is talking out there. So we'll talk about
this hysteria and fear and is sweeping the area because
oh my god, there might be six to eight ten
inches maybe more of snow. And I'm saying to myself, boy,
it used to be that all the time as we
(24:24):
would approach the new year. But let's go to the
phones right now, and it's Rob Who's calling from Montclair,
New Jersey. Your turn to be heard? He on seven
to ten, wor Rob.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Hey, Curtis. During that campaign, I heard you maligned a lot,
and I told my friends, you know, I know one
thing about this guy, and it tells me everything about him.
I teach you the school when Montclair Montclair State University,
and many many years ago, you came with. I guess
it was a WABC basketball team to play the local people.
(25:00):
You probably don't even remember. Well, you got there really
early and I was going to teach a class and
I recognized you, and I said, Curtis, could you speak
to my class. You came, you spoke to him, You
answered questions. You were as sweet as kind as a
person could be. And that tells me everything I need
to know about you.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Wow. And you remember, and I remember we got beat
badly the leader of the team at that point basketball
team because I was known for my sharp elbows. You
got into the paint. I was going to put a
herding on your kidneys and your ribs. Don't come into
the paint. You better be shooting from three point range.
(25:41):
Was Mitch Dolan, who was the general manager and Grandpoopa
of all the stations at that time over at WABC,
and that guy was a sharp shooter from the outside.
He used to call him, Hey, you know, he's like
the six man off the bench. He come in, boom
in a knock a few back. Oh, I remember those memories.
(26:04):
That was good, Rob, that was good. Let's go if
we can to Ellen, who's calling also from New Jersey.
Your turn to be heard here at seven to ten
wor Ellen.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Hi, Curtis. I am so thrilled to speak with you,
and so thrilled that you're back on the air. I've
listened to you for so many years with Angels in
the Morning and Curtis and Coobe, and then of course
I got very little sleep because I was listening to
on the weekends overnight on that other station, in additional
listening to your friend Frank overnight also. But I wanted
(26:39):
to ask you something about your father. It's been bothering
me for years. Do you happen to know if your
father was a member of the National Maritime Union.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
YEAP for close to fifty years he was a delegate.
He would actually go to battle with the trustees and
the leader of the National Maritime Union, who was corrupt,
Joe Kerr.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
I know.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
And the reason I'm asking is because for years my
father had had a wholesale optical business and then he
lost it and he wound up working for the National
Maritime Union in that building where all the seamen would
comforted medical needs. And I worked there in the summers,
So chances are your father I met your father.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Oh yeah. And plus back then, you'd have to shape
up for work. So I'd go with my dad and
he'd have to shape up. He was a boson at
that time, which is like the equivalent of his sergeant.
You know, he's part of the union National Maritime Union,
but really a part of management. Also you can't win
for it, and he'd have to shape up like everyone
else to catch a ship that was going out right
(27:49):
near Fourteenth Street where you had the National Maritime Union headquarters.
And it's that building that makes it look like it's
the side of a passenger ship with all those windows.
No longer obviously National Maritime Union. But boy, tremendous stories
that my dad would tell me when he would come home.
He'd be shipped out eight months a year, at home
(28:11):
four months a year, and to make ancillary income, he'd
go out there because he was a master craftsman, and
he worked for my cousin Joey g to teach from
Howard beat you at a construction firm in order so
that me my older sister a leader, my younger sister
Maria to get all the things that we wanted or
(28:33):
didn't want, like my mother forcing me to play the
piano for four years. I hated that every second of
the day that I played. And then when it was
time for my recital at a nearby synagogue in Knarsi,
I was playing Rockmaninoff on the stage. My younger sister,
Maria had played, made every mistake in the world, got
a standing ovation, didn't bother her. My oldest sister, a
(28:57):
very accomplished pianist, and I played rockmano Off. Way through
is He, I forgot where I was. I walked away
from the piano and never came back to play the
piano again. I hated that my friends would be outside. Hey,
come on, Curtis, I gotta practice my piano. Really, are
(29:18):
you a mama Luke? Look as my mom and dad said,
as long as we pay the bills here and you're
living under our roof in our house, you'll follow our rules.
Or hey, you're welcome to hit the highway out there.
See how difficult life is. Oh, what what great role
models they were. They're no longer with us anyway. Let's
(29:41):
go to Glenn, who was calling from New Jersey, your
turn to be heard here on seven ten wo R Glene, goodbody.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Curtis over at the other station there where Greg Kelly
has been disparaging you incredible for the first hour of
his show. He spoke nothing about anything but Curtis and
Curtis this, Curtis that, and so forth. He's a loser.
(30:11):
And I had to call in and tell and tell
Greg that he and w R O you a debt
of gratitude for giving one hour of free publicity because
I mentioned to him two quotes. T. T. Bonham said, famously,
(30:32):
any publicity is good publicity, and Oscar Wilde said, the
only thing in the world worse than being talked about
is not being talked about.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I gotta tell you, Glenn, so you know Greg Kelly
never comes prepared for a show. That's why you would
listen to Mark Simon. That would be his show prep.
You would actually admit that I'm listening to Mark and
then taking notes. He has no Mark to listen to.
He hates listening to me and gives him something to

(31:04):
why they had me in the bullpen. You better jump
in there with Greg he's rowing he's running out of
things to talk about because he didn't do his show prep.

workers there, the brothers, and they were telling me everybody
is giving me advice. Yo, man, you should be on
Hot ninety seven. More gangs, more drugs, more drivies. No no, no,
no no. Apparently they had a show that got wiped
(32:16):
out Ebro in the morning. I only knew the one
guy there, Peter Rosenberg. But hey, that's tough times. I
get that, but I ain't. I'm not doing hip hop radio.
And so while we heard you on Charlemagne the God
the Breakfast Glove, Yeah, during the campaign, and I could
kick it with people about hip hop in the streets,
(32:36):
no doubt about it. By the way, I see iHeart
