| 1:04.4 | They've got great baseball and all kinds of cool stuff all summer long at the baseball home of the Staten Island Ferry Hawks, right on the water. |
| 1:09.6 | And yes, we do partly own the baseball team with John Katzumat and my friend, Randy Levine. I'm a big Yankee guy. I love the Yanks. So he's part of that process, too. And then we got Gary Perron, who was a Met guy with Stevie Cohen. Not Stevie Cohen who owns the Mets or our former WFPAN teammate. but Cohen, who's the GM of the Cyclones, who I can't speak to anymore because he suffers from Trump D'Rangement Syndrome like nobody else. I mean, I wanted to punch him in the base last time I spoke to him. Hope he's listening right now, Steve. So, but Gary's now with us on St. Island.

| 2:28.6 | And then I noticed I heard some screaming or something. |
| 2:31.9 | I don't know. |
| 2:32.8 | The person was writhing in pain. I thought the person was just kidding around with me. Needless to say, they take the hat off of this raccoon. And it happens to be a beautiful young girl. I still speak to today. Her name is Nikki. She's a mom now. She's got a bunch of kids. And she had just had shoulder surgery or something. |
| 2:52.5 | And the next thing you know, a couple of days later, her mom is calling Imis, saying they're considering suing Imis and me and the station because her daughter needs surgery again. |
| 3:02.5 | Was that unbelievable, Steve or what? |
