As we go to the phones, because it's your turn
to be heard? What should be your talk radio station
seven ten wor the Voice of New York. It certainly
is in the Sleeper family now, And don't be a
massacres and go back to WABC always blaming Curtis for
Zorah Mandamian, always bashing Curtis. I mean, that's what they do.

(00:37):
Let's go to the phones if we can. And first
up in the queue is Diane, who is calling from Summit.
Your turn to be heard here on seven ten wor Diane, Oh.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Thank you, Curtis. I'm so grateful to speak with you.
I cannot tell you how thold them with emotion.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I am.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
I'm grateful to speak with you. I love to listen
to you, and what you did speaking of Bernhard was
so touching. However, I don't want to speak in an
emotional fashion. I have a few quick comments to make.
It was terribly disturbing, disgraceful, and disappointing that the previous

(01:24):
a W place you worked, Uh this you know regarding
you that spoke about you after you've been such a
royal person. I listened to you regularly. You are you
would have good best manor you are very intelligent. Codis

(01:48):
I really speak my heart? Would I tell you how
much I admire you. I'm trying to be so emotional,
but no, no.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
You have you have a to be emotional again. Feel
free speaking.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
I'm speaking for the community. I'm speaking for many people right.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
But I want to focus not so much on me.
I'm still alive and well, at least I think for today.
With all the people whould love to kill me, that's
been my history. It's okay. That's why I love that
edm song bunt Oh. I enjoy. I enjoy this day,

(02:30):
another day of life. It's the best day of my life.
It is because I'm alive. I have the best wife
you could ever have, Nancy. I have our cats, and
I have so many people who've grown up listening to
me for thirty five years in talk c radio, and
all the people that I've reached out and touched all
over the world. No, no, this is the tribute to

(02:51):
Bernard McGirk, who is not here. And if you want
to honor bern All McGirk as I do every year,
as you should do. The way you can do it
every day is to warn men forty five and older
to get that simple prick of the finger that psa
blood test that saves lives. I had stage four prostate cancer.

(03:14):
You hear from doctor Gil Leiderman often after other doctors
have not done well for their patients, he oftentimes can
patch people up and give them life where they would
have normally had a horrendous death like Bernard McGirt did.
So keep that in mind. That's how you honor the

(03:36):
memory of Bernard McGirt, to make sure that doesn't happen
to other men. A simple blood test and he would
still be alive. He was the healthiest of all of us.
Over there at WABC, let's go over Canon Chris Is
calling from Beth Page. Your turn to be heard here
at seven to ten WOR Chris take Curtis.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
I used to listen to and call you a lot
on the other station, obviously, and I love you, You're great,
But I have to push back on a couple of things,
if you, if you will let me. First of all,
I listen to Sid all the time. He used to
have you on like five days a week. These guys
were the best together. I don't know what the heck happened.
And to this day Sid will even say he goes,

(04:16):
I love Curtis. I'm not you know, I'm sorry that
this election got between you guys. It's it's just it's
lunacy to me that this has happened. You were tremendous.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well, you have to understand. You have to understand that
all when he was saying that Testio, remember the godfather
whoever arranged the meeting is the trader. That's Sid who
all along was contacting people to vote for Cuomo, encouraging

(04:47):
people to jump from my campaign to the Cuomo campaign. Look,
I have all the evidence. There's no doubt about it.
He had had five lunches, five dinners with Andrew CMO.
What's he having dinner for? That's how Andrew Cuomo Andrew
evil eyed operated. I knew that Sid is a novice

(05:07):
to politics. He never dealt with politics before. He is
a sports guy, and then he became a CMO sexual
big time. Oh take time. And the reason that I
was on five times a week is I would not
ever consider being his partner because he needs one, He
desperately needs one. Lu Rafino does a great job as

(05:28):
his wingman. The board operator was great with Imans. That
keeps him a little more focused. But when he got.

Speaker 5 (05:35):
Rid of Andrew Giuliani was trying, you can't see you
can't disagree with Sid Now I could, because obviously I
have more credit, I'm older, I have more experience than Siddy.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
But others couldn't. He couldn't. So I got on once
a week and then they said, well, do it twice
a week, three times a week, four times a week,
five times a week. No problem, he needed that. I
didn't mind doing the extra radio. Let does Barney talk?
You know, sit in friends, I love you, you love me?

(06:10):
And then, my god, you can predict what the program
is each and every day. I can tell all of you.
If Bernard McGirk had survived as prostate cancer, like luckily
I had stage four, what happened at WABC to me
would never have happened. Bernard McGirk a man of honor.

(06:32):
You couldn't be any more loyal than Bernard. Look at
all those years with Imus, Look at all those years
he kept that program together. Look at all those years
that he would be beaten down each and every day
by Imus, who was a monster. And then he'd be
the one to rally Charles McCord and Rob Bartlett and

(06:55):
Lurefino and the other contributors and say no, no, no,
let's let's focus for another day. And he would do
all the heavy lifting. He would do all the show prep,
just like he did for the brand new show Bernard
McGirk and Sid Roseberg. Let's sit he now. He thought
he didn't need anybody. He does. You can't just do

(07:16):
an I and Me show. You gotta do the work,
and not just with your friends. You have to deal
with your foes. Let's go if we can to Bob,
who's calling from Perth? Hand boy, your turn to be
heard here on seven ten wor Bobby.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
Good morning, Curtage. How are you sir? Happy new year?
Do you so? Sir?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Oh? Thank you, thank you, it's been greater. Had a
two week run here substituting for the best in talk radio,
Mark Sabone and can't get any better than that.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
And I also know a good friend of yours that
used to do Elvison Personeder dear elvis Or Daniels.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Oh yes, Paul, lifelong and a good Polish American too,
I might.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
Add absolutely yes, he is definitely well. Anyway, I want
to say, what is uh the airplane, the helicopter pilot
in Poko gonna do bet the outer bridge, which, uh
you know how how bad that is? They picked every
other thing, but they can't pick the outer bridge, the.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Outer bridge crossing. How many people over the years have
done the hop skipping a jump? You know what that is?
Is he they start out in Brooklyn, they cross of Arizona,
they go to the south shore of Staten Island, then
across the outer Bridge crossing go down to Manalapana, Jersey Shore.
Next stop might be Pennsylvania, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee. Parts

(08:51):
are them? It all starts with the outer bridge crossing.
Are there? Right?

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Let me tell you something. I just want you to
keep that focus. I know there are many many callers
blazing away there, blazing away. Please at the start of
the new year, sink back to all the greats in
this sting of ours that we love so much. Talk
radio from Barry Gray to Bob Grant to Barry Farbird

(09:24):
and Samuels to Bernard McGirk all, the people who paved
the way. None of them, though, suffered like Bernard McGirk suffered.
You just have no idea what it was like to
be in the Imus cage in the morning. He had

(09:44):
to deal with that monster, and then he had to
prepare the show. He had to keep don Imus going.
And then when his dream came true, instead of saying
what so many in our business, well no, no, no, no,
I want to do it my own, he said, I
want to bring up my friends Sid Rose Murty from Florida,
who had lost every job down there, and Adjustment fired

(10:04):
from another radio station. I don't know why, but they
were a great partnership. Twenty sixteen. Sid was for Hillary
really legitimately, and Bernald McGirk was a Trumper before many
became Trumpers. And then when Sid thought it could be

(10:26):
his own, watch out the long knives come out. Oh
by the way, he's planning to move to Florida now,
oh yeah, he lives out there in the Irish rival area.
He's ready to sell his house. Hey, look, God bless
all of you out there. If you don't want to
stay in the Land of Mondamie, I get it. That's
what America is about. You get to move to the

(10:47):
places you want to go, but don't pretend you're gonna
stay and fight for what you know is right. Improve
don't move. You gotta prove it. You gotta be a
man of honor. You come into the world when nothing,
you go out with nothing. God bless Bernard McGirk. He
lived as a man of honor. He died as a

(11:11):
man of honor.
