No, no, this is the tribute to 42 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 2: Bernard McGirk, who is not here. And if you want 43 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: to honor bern All McGirk as I do every year, 44 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: as you should do. The way you can do it 45 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: every day is to warn men forty five and older 46 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: to get that simple prick of the finger that psa 47 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: blood test that saves lives. I had stage four prostate cancer. 48 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: You hear from doctor Gil Leiderman often after other doctors 49 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: have not done well for their patients, he oftentimes can 50 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: patch people up and give them life where they would 51 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 2: have normally had a horrendous death like Bernard McGirt did. 52 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: So keep that in mind. That's how you honor the 53 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: memory of Bernard McGirt, to make sure that doesn't happen 54 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: to other men. A simple blood test and he would 55 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: still be alive. He was the healthiest of all of us. 56 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: Over there at WABC, let's go over Canon Chris Is 57 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: calling from Beth Page. Your turn to be heard here 58 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: at seven to ten WOR Chris take Curtis. 59 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 4: I used to listen to and call you a lot 60 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: on the other station, obviously, and I love you, You're great, 61 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 4: But I have to push back on a couple of things, 62 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 4: if you, if you will let me. First of all, 63 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 4: I listen to Sid all the time. He used to 64 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 4: have you on like five days a week. These guys 65 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 4: were the best together. I don't know what the heck happened. 66 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 4: And to this day Sid will even say he goes, 67 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 4: I love Curtis. I'm not you know, I'm sorry that 68 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 4: this election got between you guys. It's it's just it's 69 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: lunacy to me that this has happened. You were tremendous. 70 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: Well, you have to understand. You have to understand that 71 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: all when he was saying that Testio, remember the godfather 72 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: whoever arranged the meeting is the trader. That's Sid who 73 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 2: all along was contacting people to vote for Cuomo, encouraging 74 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: people to jump from my campaign to the Cuomo campaign. Look, 75 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: I have all the evidence. There's no doubt about it. 76 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: He had had five lunches, five dinners with Andrew CMO. 77 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: What's he having dinner for? That's how Andrew Cuomo Andrew 78 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 2: evil eyed operated. I knew that Sid is a novice 79 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 2: to politics. He never dealt with politics before. He is 80 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: a sports guy, and then he became a CMO sexual 81 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: big time. Oh take time. And the reason that I 82 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: was on five times a week is I would not 83 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: ever consider being his partner because he needs one, He 84 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 2: desperately needs one. Lu Rafino does a great job as 85 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 2: his wingman. The board operator was great with Imans. That 86 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 2: keeps him a little more focused. But when he got. 87 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 5: Rid of Andrew Giuliani was trying, you can't see you 88 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 5: can't disagree with Sid Now I could, because obviously I 89 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 5: have more credit, I'm older, I have more experience than Siddy. 90 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 2: But others couldn't. He couldn't. So I got on once 91 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: a week and then they said, well, do it twice 92 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 2: a week, three times a week, four times a week, 93 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: five times a week. No problem, he needed that. I 94 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: didn't mind doing the extra radio. Let does Barney talk? 95 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: You know, sit in friends, I love you, you love me? 96 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 2: And then, my god, you can predict what the program 97 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 2: is each and every day. I can tell all of you. 98 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: If Bernard McGirk had survived as prostate cancer, like luckily 99 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: I had stage four, what happened at WABC to me 100 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: would never have happened. Bernard McGirk a man of honor. 101 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 2: You couldn't be any more loyal than Bernard. Look at 102 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 2: all those years with Imus, Look at all those years 103 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: he kept that program together. Look at all those years 104 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: that he would be beaten down each and every day 105 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 2: by Imus, who was a monster. And then he'd be 106 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 2: the one to rally Charles McCord and Rob Bartlett and 107 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 2: Lurefino and the other contributors and say no, no, no, 108 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 2: let's let's focus for another day. And he would do 109 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: all the heavy lifting. He would do all the show prep, 110 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: just like he did for the brand new show Bernard 111 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: McGirk and Sid Roseberg. Let's sit he now. He thought 112 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: he didn't need anybody. He does. You can't just do 113 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: an I and Me show. You gotta do the work, 114 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: and not just with your friends. You have to deal 115 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 2: with your foes.
