00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game
00:00:04.120 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.
00:00:07.520 Not anymore.
00:00:08.480 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.
00:00:12.820 That's right.
00:00:13.380 If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute,
00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:21.620 Brian Kill Me. But we've done this now
00:01:23.680 the last two days because, well, according to the numbers,
00:01:29.340 people love this.
00:01:32.140 And why wouldn't they?
00:01:33.080 When you talk about the all-time great New York radio hosts,
00:01:37.320 I'm not including myself.
00:01:38.400 I'm not that arrogant, okay?
00:01:40.040 But this guy, the better half of Opie and Anthony,
00:01:45.660 I'm not disrespecting Opie.
00:01:46.800 Opie's fine.
00:01:47.480 He's fine.
00:01:48.920 But this guy's a superstar.
00:01:50.760 He's on 8 to 11 every Sunday night here at WABC.
00:01:53.680 He's been filling in this hour all week long, and he is beautiful.
00:02:00.820 Who's called you beautiful lately?
00:02:03.340 Sid.
00:02:04.600 You're about it.
00:02:06.460 I don't think I've ever, ever been called beautiful.
00:02:09.760 Never?
00:02:10.380 But thank you.
00:02:11.180 I'm going to take your intros for me and just loop them on a tape
00:02:15.120 and play them when I go to sleep at night.
00:02:16.860 I know.
00:02:17.440 Like a gentle, you know, people like the beach or rain or something like that.
00:02:22.500 I'm just going to have the gentle sounds of Sid Rosenberg giving me accolades.
00:02:28.460 You know, I actually bought one of those machines years ago from Brookstone.
00:02:32.100 I swear to God.
00:02:33.100 Babbling Brookstone. 1.00
00:02:34.680 The most useless. 1.00
00:02:35.940 Useless. 0.99
00:02:36.960 But rivers and oceans. 0.79
00:02:38.520 And all it was was static.
00:02:40.140 Yeah. 1.00
00:02:41.160 But you could masturbate to mine. 0.99
00:02:46.020 Now, I don't think I'll use it for that. 1.00
00:02:50.580 I think I'll use it to get my self-esteem up.
00:02:52.900 But thank you.
00:02:54.280 You have no issues with self-esteem.
00:02:56.740 You're going to tell me that Jill Nicolini never called you beautiful?
00:02:59.400 I don't buy that now.
00:03:00.300 No, no, no.
00:03:02.560 Our summer of love that ended in hatred.
00:03:08.500 You heard what happened there, right?
00:03:11.200 Years ago?
00:03:12.040 I think everybody heard of it.
00:03:13.400 Yeah, yeah.
00:03:14.580 I had a wandering eye back then, Sid.
00:03:18.920 A wandering eye.
00:03:20.580 And we had a big Labor Day party.
00:03:24.000 It was the end of summer.
00:03:26.000 We had been in this relationship the entire summer.
00:03:29.580 It was the summer of what they were calling us, Anthelini.
00:03:32.640 Like how Hollywood people, they put the two names together.
00:03:35.180 It was Anthelini.
00:03:37.760 And it was a Labor Day party at the end of the summer over my house.
00:03:43.160 And I had a few in me.
00:03:45.640 And there was this other girl there.
00:03:48.340 And, yeah, we were in the jacuzzi.
00:03:50.580 and things started happening and um i got i got caught you got caught i got caught by by jill
00:03:59.080 she took uh a bunch of stuff uh from that girl and from me and put it in the fire pit
00:04:05.560 and burnt it swear to god oh i swear it was a scene man i kind of like her even more right now 0.73
00:04:11.900 oh yeah but that's really cool no oh you don't mess with her she was like the definitive
00:04:16.800 still is i guess no she's an italian girl oh no she's all right no she's a sweet girl i actually 0.53
00:04:22.820 you know i saw her i saw her at an event in suffolk county for the pba for the cops they
00:04:27.580 love her they love her oh yeah yeah now everybody i used to because i would have to go out uh with 0.98
00:04:33.080 her to some of these events and you know she's a pretty girl and all these guys are gawking at her
00:04:39.920 and she's doing great charitable things.
00:04:41.740 Sure.
00:04:42.080 And then, you know, this ogre shows up and they're looking like,
00:04:47.460 what the hell is she doing with this shock jock?
00:04:52.160 Sure.
00:04:53.140 Yeah.
00:04:53.940 You know, it was an odd couple.
00:04:55.080 So that does go back to self-esteem because here you are, okay?
00:04:59.600 I'm going to sit down like Dr. Belfi here.
00:05:01.680 Here you are.
00:05:02.860 You're like the most famous man in New York, you, Stern, and Opie.
00:05:06.540 At the time, you're making millions of dollars.
00:05:08.440 You're funny, everybody loves you
00:05:11.500 And yet you're going to yourself
00:05:13.540 I'm not good enough 1.00
00:05:15.100 This girl is too pretty 1.00
00:05:16.700 Even at my best, I can't compete with her physically 0.94
00:05:20.280 So the only way
00:05:22.360 The only way
00:05:23.800 That I can stay in this 1.00
00:05:25.620 Is if I do something stupid 1.00
00:05:28.260 And then of course 1.00
00:05:30.480 The most unfortunate part is
00:05:32.120 That the guy that snitched on you
00:05:33.900 Was Jim Norton
00:05:34.680 Oh, was it Jim Norton?
00:05:37.720 No, I made that up.
00:05:38.460 No, I know.
00:05:39.960 He's a great friend of mine.
00:05:41.700 I love Jim.
00:05:42.940 No, no one had a snitch.
00:05:44.800 I literally, it was like a sitcom.
00:05:47.540 The girl that I was with, that I had had an indiscretion with,
00:05:55.320 I heard Jill come into my house, 0.84
00:05:58.920 and I had the girl hide in the closet. 1.00
00:06:02.460 Oh, my God, Ed.
00:06:03.800 Oh, it was terrible.
00:06:05.500 Oh, my God.
00:06:06.120 Hide in the closet in the bedroom, and it was, oh, boy, just not a good scene.
00:06:13.000 I was crazy back then.
00:06:16.020 I was a wild man.
00:06:17.140 When I had my, I had a big, you know, one of those big McMansions in Roslyn, Long Island, and a pool,
00:06:24.020 and I'd have parties all the time.
00:06:25.440 The cops used to come by for noise complaints, and the Nassau County cops told me
00:06:31.440 that they would argue about who got to go to the call 1.00
00:06:36.240 because they knew there were going to be topless girls around the pool 0.97
00:06:40.360 and it was going to be a great call for them to go on. 0.99
00:06:44.920 So it would be a simple noise complaint,
00:06:47.540 and I swear there were five Nassau County cop cars lined up in front of my house,
00:06:52.420 and they're all like, Anthony, how you doing, man?
00:06:55.640 You got to turn that down a little bit.
00:06:57.260 And, yeah, yeah, I was just on a tear back then.
00:07:01.820 No, you were doing great.
00:07:02.800 You're still doing great.
00:07:03.540 That was Rosalind, right?
00:07:05.020 You know, Bill O'Reilly was on earlier.
00:07:06.720 He's a Nassau County guy.
00:07:08.420 A lot of famous New Yorkers, Manhasset, that area, people like Anthony Scaramucci, your friend,
00:07:15.300 Mike Francesa, the great voice, Mike and the Mad Dog, Mike Breen, the great voice of the Knicks.
00:07:20.740 These are just a few of the big names that live out there where you used to live.
00:07:24.580 It's a nice place.
00:07:25.420 It's conservative.
00:07:26.440 Yes.
00:07:26.880 It's not as far out as Suffolk, so the commute isn't that bad into the city.
00:07:31.720 And, you know, they don't fool around with their law enforcement, man.
00:07:36.280 Those Nassau cops, they're a good bunch of guys, but they're tough.
00:07:40.920 They're tough.
00:07:41.340 And the commissioner, Pat Ryder, he's great.
00:07:44.120 You know he's great.
00:07:45.120 Yeah, I've spoken with Pat a couple of times.
00:07:46.840 Oh, you have?
00:07:47.540 Yeah, yeah.
00:07:48.800 Because you were in custody or because?
00:07:50.860 Yeah.
00:07:51.740 You son of a...
00:07:53.060 He's a great guy.
00:07:55.500 So, you still love New York.
00:07:57.540 We have these conversations all the time.
00:07:59.200 If you don't know, Anthony moved to South Carolina.
00:08:01.280 I know you all know that already.
00:08:02.300 Yeehaw.
00:08:02.860 Yeah, exactly.
00:08:04.000 But you still love New York, and you'll always be a New Yorker.
00:08:07.460 So, tomorrow, I am going to visit the mayor.
00:08:11.540 I have not.
00:08:12.220 I heard this.
00:08:12.980 You heard about this.
00:08:13.860 Yes.
00:08:14.040 So, he and I were good friends, good friends.
00:08:16.120 I have not seen him or spoken to him in 16 months.
00:08:19.960 And, listen to my show, and I'm not very nice, okay?
00:08:24.020 But I'm going there tomorrow because I like to mend the fences.
00:08:28.480 I don't dislike the guys.
00:08:30.580 Are you on the outs where something needs to be mended?
00:08:33.460 You have said a few things that weren't very flattering to him.
00:08:38.340 Right.
00:08:38.740 That's being nice.
00:08:39.740 I've been downright nasty.
00:08:42.060 Yeah, yeah.
00:08:42.860 Yeah, and everything gets back.
00:08:44.180 Whatever I say on this show, it takes five minutes.
00:08:47.360 All right?
00:08:47.860 That could be, you know, Mom Donnie can be in Uganda, 0.88
00:08:50.640 and he'll know in three minutes.
00:08:51.860 So he knows everything.
00:08:53.440 But the other thing is, of course, I want to make sure that I know what's going on.
00:08:57.520 Because if Curtis, I know you're endorsing Curtis, too.
00:09:00.300 If Curtis doesn't win, God forbid, and he may, man, he got $2 million yesterday.
00:09:04.880 If he doesn't win, then I got to choose between Cuomo and Adams to take out Mom Donnie.
00:09:11.360 So if it was you instead of me going to see the mayor tomorrow, what would Anthony Cuomo ask Eric Adams?
00:09:18.000 Besides, where do you get that good weed?
00:09:23.440 Oh, man, I would absolutely have to address this mental patience roaming the streets thing.
00:09:32.180 Yeah, yeah.
00:09:32.720 Like, look, and I know that's a tough nut right there because they closed down all of the loony bins, you know?
00:09:41.180 They closed down all those places that they put these crazy people.
00:09:44.920 The cops can't deal with them. 0.72
00:09:46.680 It doesn't fall under law enforcement.
00:09:48.820 You know who did that?
00:09:49.600 I think it was Andrew Cuomo.
00:09:51.380 Was it?
00:09:51.960 Yeah, I think so.
00:09:52.680 I mean, that makes perfect sense.
00:09:54.700 Well, he was also in there during the bail reform nonsense where there's all these violent people roaming the streets of New York.
00:10:03.580 Right.
00:10:03.760 But, yeah, I think the homeless, they talk about the homeless like they're from a movie where it's somebody that just fell through the cracks.
00:10:15.200 oh this guy's motivated he's trying hard but society has been pushing him down and he's a 0.85
00:10:22.140 smart guy i'm begging you this does not happen these are mentally ill people they they are 0.70
00:10:30.560 incapable of taking care of themselves for the most part so they can't be treated i'm sorry to 0.84
00:10:36.320 say this i don't mean be cruel but let's be realistic about it they got to be rounded up
00:10:41.720 And maybe we can open up one of these places, like the old mental institution out on Long Island.
00:10:49.120 You don't got to do that.
00:10:50.240 I remember that place, but you don't got to do that.
00:10:52.140 And you got acres and acres and acres and open buildings in Rikers Island. 0.72
00:10:57.920 So you could literally have one area that's for the real Horton criminals, right? 0.89
00:11:03.620 One area for the ICE detainees, for the illegals, and one area for the homeless. 0.99
00:11:09.600 You got room for all three. 0.98
00:11:11.560 What a great place to go on vacation, that sounds like.
00:11:14.840 What a great...
00:11:16.580 What's the difference between that and 42nd Street?
00:11:19.080 Let's be honest.
00:11:19.840 It is true, yeah. 1.00
00:11:21.200 There's mental patients, criminals, and illegals. 0.99
00:11:25.280 Right, right. 1.00
00:11:26.180 They just haven't put the fence around it yet.
00:11:28.080 Yes, and it remains a huge tourist. 1.00
00:11:30.040 Are these people morons? 1.00
00:11:31.160 They travel from all over the world to come to that. 1.00
00:11:33.820 Think about that, right?
00:11:35.400 We're not talking about Hilton Head.
00:11:37.100 We're not talking about Myrtle Beach in your state.
00:11:39.360 No, people walking around dressed as Mickey Mouse who are carrying guns.
00:11:46.420 Yeah, yeah.
00:11:47.280 I've never understood, you know, oh, we're going to spend the summer taking pictures of the M&M store.
00:11:53.420 And then let's have a lovely dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp in Times Square.
00:11:59.540 Hold on a second.
00:12:00.640 Here's where I'm going to stop you.
00:12:01.900 Uh-oh.
00:12:02.860 Have you ever been there?
00:12:04.560 No.
00:12:05.580 It's a tremendous place.
00:12:07.280 Well, tremendous in size.
00:12:09.360 I don't know.
00:12:11.960 I wouldn't think in New York City, supposedly one of the great cities for gourmet food,
00:12:18.360 that you'd go to Times Square, Bubba Gump Shrimp for your seafood.
00:12:22.900 You can't get a table there, Anthony.
00:12:24.940 You can't get in.
00:12:25.680 Are you kidding me?
00:12:28.220 You're too much.
00:12:29.800 And then what else do they have?
00:12:31.600 Margaritaville, is that still open?
00:12:35.180 That's it.
00:12:35.900 Base a restaurant around a song.
00:12:38.780 That's good.
00:12:41.680 I went to a great restaurant called Too Shy Shy Hush Hush R.U.I.
00:12:48.260 If you're going to make restaurants after a song, yeah, hit me with your best shot.
00:12:53.440 A great little place.
00:12:56.560 Oh, you just killed me for the whole day. 0.65
00:12:59.100 Terrible. 0.93
00:12:59.640 Oh, that was great.
00:13:00.400 We've got to take a quick break so I can go make reservations at Bubba Gump Shrimp Lunch, I swear to God. 0.92
00:13:05.420 How dare you?
00:13:06.120 You fly the world, you eat gourmet food, Bubba Gump.
00:13:13.400 Anthony, Bubba Gump Shrimp.
00:13:17.740 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:13:24.020 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:13:29.640 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:13:33.160 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:13:36.540 We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
00:13:41.200 That's how we protect Ontario.
00:13:43.220 For all of us.
00:13:45.280 Learn how at Ontario.ca slash SaferOntario.

00:13:58.220 My buddy Kevin Canessa.
00:13:59.420 My longtime buddy Nessie Boy out there in Jersey says if there was a restaurant for you, they'd call it, I did it my way.
00:14:07.680 Thank you.
00:14:08.460 I love Frank Sinatra.
00:14:09.680 I'll be in Jersey on Saturday, not Hoboken, where old Blue Eyes is from.
00:14:13.860 I'll be in Seaside Heights at a place called the Beachcomber. 0.79
00:14:18.200 Me, Scott Pressler, Jack Cittarelli, and thousands of others as we try to turn New Jersey red.
00:14:24.860 See, Anthony Cumia lives in a red state already, South Carolina.
00:14:28.420 Oh, yeah.
00:14:29.000 I know you do.
00:14:29.600 So I'm talking the other day to, I forget who it was.
00:14:32.860 Oh, Anthony D'Esposito, congressman from Nassau County.
00:14:35.880 You're part of the woods.
00:14:37.120 And I brought up that the last interview George Santos did, Anthony, before he went to prison was with me.
00:14:42.640 Yes, with you.
00:14:43.380 Yeah.
00:14:43.880 And he was, I like the guy.
00:14:44.920 I know he broke the law.
00:14:45.940 Who cares?
00:14:46.460 I got a lot of friends who are criminals. 1.00
00:14:47.620 I think you're a criminal, to be honest. 0.99
00:14:49.440 So am I. 0.99
00:14:50.340 Likewise.
00:14:53.180 So I like the guy.
00:14:54.500 So Marjorie Taylor Greene said, let's pardon George Santos, because Trump has been talking about pardoning P. Diddy.
00:15:01.780 People are like, wait a second, this guy, let's say he didn't do these freak-offs and sexual miscarriage.
00:15:06.980 At the very least, at the very least, he beat the living daylights out of his girlfriend.
00:15:12.720 He's not a good guy. 0.74
00:15:13.920 Not a good guy.
00:15:14.920 Right.
00:15:15.100 So to me, you know, they're both criminals, but I'd pardon George Santos before P. Diddy.
00:15:21.620 What does Anthony Cumia think?
00:15:23.820 Yeah, absolutely.
00:15:25.060 I mean, any of these guys that get pardons for violent crimes, I don't see it.
00:15:31.060 I don't see how that is a good thing.
00:15:33.720 The Diddy thing, though, this is he has been bad mouthing Trump since 2016.
00:15:40.240 Right. 0.98
00:15:40.820 And and this is this is a great life lesson, said you don't you got to be careful who you crap talk, as they say.
00:15:52.040 over the course of the years because you never know. 0.53
00:15:55.240 You just never know when you might need them.
00:15:58.860 And, you know, be pleasant.
00:16:01.360 Respect power.
00:16:02.680 That's another thing.
00:16:03.660 You've got to respect people's power because, again, you might need that.
00:16:07.020 Now, did he getting a pardon? 1.00
00:16:09.060 Yeah, he's a piece of garbage, this guy. 1.00
00:16:12.160 Why would Trump want to align himself with pardoning this guy? 1.00
00:16:17.480 And then he's already talking about having a big shindig at Madison Square Garden
00:16:21.880 when he gets out.
00:16:24.720 That's going to be his big thing.
00:16:27.240 They're going to grease the whole place up. 0.91
00:16:29.560 Hopefully it's going to be during a WNBA game 1.00
00:16:32.020 and they could throw dildos around. 1.00
00:16:35.080 Yeah, they do that.
00:16:35.940 Yeah, I love that.
00:16:36.980 Yeah, Diddy would probably enjoy that.
00:16:39.340 He would love that, sure.
00:16:40.700 And that party is not going to happen until 2057, by the way,
00:16:44.240 when Diddy gets out.
00:16:45.660 But I have to tell you, now that you mention that,
00:16:47.980 I've never, ever, ever had a desire to go to a WNBA basketball game.
00:16:53.800 I'm not a chauvinist.
00:16:56.520 I'm not a misogynist.
00:16:57.640 I'm none of those things, okay?
00:16:58.860 How about someone that likes entertainment or sports?
00:17:02.900 Correct.
00:17:03.020 That's what you need to be. 1.00
00:17:05.520 That's why people don't go to a WNBA. 1.00
00:17:08.140 Right.
00:17:08.760 But if you're going to tell me that I can actually go to a sporting event 0.57
00:17:11.980 and throw a dildo on the court, I'll be there early.
00:17:15.500 How about that? 0.90
00:17:15.820 Isn't it the only thing that gets anyone talking about the WNBA? 1.00
00:17:21.120 They've got to be mortified about this.
00:17:23.300 Because at the beginning, or a couple of months ago, 0.65
00:17:27.520 it was all about the white girls and the black girls having some issues on the court. 0.91
00:17:33.240 That still is.
00:17:34.100 You're talking specifically about the great Indiana Fever player, Caitlin Clark.
00:17:38.140 And I did an Instagram video last year, Anthony, glad you brought this up, 0.91
00:17:42.400 where I accused Reese, that black player Reese, of racism. 0.98
00:17:47.360 And I had black people really angry with me. 0.89
00:17:50.480 Some pandering whites do. 0.99
00:17:52.100 Boy, they make me nauseous. 0.96
00:17:53.440 They were angry with me.
00:17:54.560 But I got to tell you, even Stephen A. Smith came out yesterday and said,
00:17:58.880 there seems to be some civil rights violations.
00:18:02.100 He wouldn't call it racism.
00:18:03.720 I will.
00:18:04.920 That league, that's a racist league. 1.00
00:18:06.980 She's a white, great player, and the black girls can't stand it. 1.00
00:18:11.160 Yeah, yeah. 1.00
00:18:12.160 And she's pretty good, I guess, for WNBA standards. 1.00
00:18:16.800 Yeah. 1.00
00:18:17.180 You know, the other one, she can't hit a simple layup. 1.00
00:18:22.480 It's pathetic. 0.99
00:18:23.800 So they got to talk about something. 0.99
00:18:26.800 I can't imagine the people in charge of WNBA are unhappy with this dildo situation.
00:18:34.860 This dildo situation. 0.72
00:18:36.980 I can't. 1.00
00:18:38.400 I just don't see that they're unhappy with it.
00:18:40.480 People are talking about the league for the first time.
00:18:43.440 I know.
00:18:44.180 And, you know, it's bringing excitement.
00:18:47.560 Is there going to be another fluorescent green marital aid, as they used to call them?
00:18:53.340 Remember that, Sid?
00:18:54.180 You're old enough to remember when they called dildos marital aids.
00:18:58.000 If you had a problem with your marriage, you had to buy one of these things,
00:19:02.300 and it was going to help out.
00:19:04.800 Now they've changed that from marital aid to sex toys. 0.70
00:19:08.540 Yes, yes, yes. 0.99
00:19:09.640 That's silly, too. 0.57
00:19:10.880 I mean, it's the sporting equipment. 0.89
00:19:12.660 Right.
00:19:13.740 I don't know about you, but have you ever, and be honest here, Anthony.
00:19:16.880 Yeah.
00:19:17.840 Because the answer is yes, but I'll ask anyway.
00:19:19.840 You know me.
00:19:20.300 I'm an honest guy.
00:19:21.420 Right.
00:19:22.320 Have you ever gone to, I don't know, like the Pink Pussycat or one of these stores in New York that sells these types of paraphernalia?
00:19:30.160 Oh, you mean the one on 8th Avenue by 41st Street?
00:19:35.260 You're not familiar with it?
00:19:36.480 No.
00:19:37.100 Never heard of it.
00:19:39.640 Right by Port Authority.
00:19:42.840 Right in the lovely part of Manhattan by Port Authority.
00:19:45.560 Right.
00:19:46.020 I thought the one by the Village was the bigger one, but you're saying by Port Authority.
00:19:50.980 Well, Village, I think they probably gravitate more toward the gay clientele. 1.00
00:19:57.940 Although all of them do, I guess. 1.00
00:20:00.420 I've seen some items in that store that make you wince.
00:20:03.740 I know.
00:20:04.160 You know what's funny is I was just in Greece.
00:20:07.920 and i don't know if you know yes have you been to greece i've never you are a world traveler i
00:20:15.160 wanted to talk to you about this and uh i have never been out of the united states of america
00:20:21.400 aside from you know a cruise right i went to hawaii uh and the bahamas things like that but
00:20:26.920 i've never been uh really overseas to europe and you you're winging around the globe like some kind
00:20:33.580 of a dignitary yeah i've had enough of it i did london paris wales but i didn't i i could never
00:20:38.880 have guessed this and my owner would know this our owner now uh anthony john katsimatidis yes you go 0.93
00:20:44.340 to athens greece every block every block for a good six miles had a sex store really i swear to
00:20:54.640 god i was i couldn't believe what i was seeing well they got kind of a reputation you know it's
00:20:59.700 real it's real listen to me it's real huh i mean i went to the acropolis museum and the tour guide
00:21:07.740 spent so much time explaining to me and danielle why they have a lot of naked women statues and
00:21:15.000 she said because we believe the greeks believe we don't believe in perversion i'm like okay
00:21:20.200 well but we believe that the body especially women deserves pleasure and i'm like what
00:21:29.780 What kind of museum is this?
00:21:31.520 And then we leave the museum, we're driving back home,
00:21:33.860 and every other block had a sex store.
00:21:36.640 Greece, Athens. 0.51
00:21:37.860 I wouldn't have thought that, you know,
00:21:39.920 because if you've never been to Greece, like I had never been there,
00:21:42.940 I have an impression that it's all, you know, ancient ruins and philosophy.
00:21:48.700 Well, they have some of those, too.
00:21:49.920 They have some of that, too, in all fairness.
00:21:51.480 I would imagine.
00:21:52.480 But the sex toy thing, well, you know,
00:21:56.060 They have to live with the fact that some of those sex dolls, the selling point was authentic Greek features, if you recall that.
00:22:07.840 And what that meant was, well, I guess you could figure it out yourself.
00:22:12.380 You'd be looking at the back of the doll.
00:22:15.520 That's right.
00:22:16.080 Let's just put it that way.
00:22:16.540 That's exactly right.
00:22:17.580 And I wasn't surprised when I was in the airport in Greece looking to take my hour and 40-minute flight to Cyprus.
00:22:28.460 The gate next to us was a flight to Amsterdam.
00:22:33.160 Ah, yes.
00:22:34.040 And I got to tell you, it was packed.
00:22:36.780 I've never been there, but I hear, of course, that is the ultimate den of iniquity going to Amsterdam.
00:22:43.040 Right, right.
00:22:43.120 Red Light District, the weed, other drugs.
00:22:46.560 But you've never gone.
00:22:47.500 You've never gone there, huh?
00:22:48.300 No, and now I'm aged out.
00:22:50.020 You know, I don't do drugs anymore.
00:22:52.720 I like a couple of beers and some wine, but I'm not pounding down the drinks like I used to.
00:22:58.240 So, yeah, I think I aged out of going to Amsterdam.
00:23:02.880 Me too.
00:23:03.180 But you're traveling now, especially these days, Sid.
00:23:06.340 The airlines are terrible. 1.00
00:23:09.180 The airports are, you know what I said, insane asylums? 1.00
00:23:13.660 They've replaced them with airports because there's mental patients 0.55
00:23:16.440 constantly roaming around screaming.
00:23:19.840 How do you deal?
00:23:21.480 You travel so much.
00:23:23.040 I hate it.
00:23:23.540 How do you deal with the delays and cancellations in mental patients? 0.67
00:23:26.640 I hate it.
00:23:26.900 Delays, cancellations, and the worst thing is, when I lived in Florida,
00:23:31.320 if you fly out of the best airport in Florida is the little one.
00:23:35.760 There's a little one in Palm Beach.
00:23:36.860 It's the best, okay?
00:23:38.020 Fort Lauderdale's fine.
00:23:39.200 Good airport.
00:23:40.280 You fly out of Miami, Anthony.
00:23:42.400 Oh, yeah.
00:23:42.780 You better be fluent in Spanish.
00:23:45.340 I go, wait a second.
00:23:46.500 This is still America, right?
00:23:48.020 I'm in Miami. 0.78
00:23:48.960 I know there's a lot of Cubans.
00:23:50.440 But I would ask the simplest question.
00:23:52.960 Ready for this?
00:23:54.440 Where's my gate?
00:23:56.460 And every one of them would go, what?
00:24:00.440 It's an airport, not a common question, I guess.
00:24:03.360 What?
00:24:03.760 Where is my gate?
00:24:04.960 I could never get an answer.
00:24:06.660 And I'm telling you, it happened 20 times.
00:24:09.380 20.
00:24:10.700 Yeah, I don't know what happened.
00:24:12.000 And there's no assimilation going on with people that come from other countries. 0.59
00:24:16.920 They even get jobs here, even if they're legal immigrants. 0.64
00:24:20.520 A lot of times the whole concept of assimilation went away with, you know, the 50s and 60s, I guess, with immigrants. 0.99
00:24:30.000 But, yeah, I'm just annoyed every time I have to go to the airport. 1.00
00:24:34.400 I get so stressed out.
00:24:36.880 And, you know, thank God there are bars there.
00:24:39.580 They're like malls now.
00:24:40.980 You go there, you could sit down and drink, and they know they have to do that because your flight's going to be delayed or canceled.
00:24:48.460 And they figure if you're liquored up, you're not going to care as much.
00:24:51.480 But that has also given us some amazing videos on social media of inside the planes, people just going crazy.
00:25:00.840 And I wax fantastic, Sid, about the old days, Pan Am, TWA, taking a wide body to L.A., and people are in suits and ties.
00:25:10.360 the best and now they're in pajamas they got that jiffy pop bag on their head slippers
00:25:17.320 and they're causing all kinds of problems and i hate those people i hate those if you even 0.99
00:25:22.960 scream once on an airplane i'm going to kill you i'm telling you right they don't understand 0.99
00:25:27.780 airplanes are not a democracy no it's a kingdom right the pilot's the king he has his minion 0.99
00:25:34.080 that's the flight crew and the stewardesses and whatnot and you are lowly serfs and you don't
00:25:39.860 have a say they could look at you and go yep get off don't like the way you look right and you
00:25:44.540 don't have a say in the matter no you don't people don't seem to understand that no they don't argue
00:25:48.620 they yell they scream and it makes me nervous i get very nervous you know i get on the plane like
00:25:53.540 in seinfeld remember the episode with the soup nazi that's how i treat everyone at the airport
00:25:58.300 so i don't have a problem and and you know the airport too we got to run for a second not just
00:26:04.040 the bars you talk about being a mall yeah whether you're in paris or greece or or even united states
00:26:10.400 They got, like, Neiman Marcus at the airport.
00:26:12.800 They got Lancôme.
00:26:14.140 They got my wife. 0.95
00:26:15.580 It takes her 30 minutes to walk one gate because. 0.99
00:26:19.140 Oh, my God.
00:26:19.720 I'd go crazy.
00:26:20.840 And it's like 19 stores and the fanciest stores. 1.00
00:26:24.080 I'm not talking about schlock shops. 0.92
00:26:25.880 I mean the Fifth Avenue shopping.
00:26:28.200 I'm talking about Beverly Hills.
00:26:29.800 They're in airports.
00:26:31.220 And they're jacking up the prices because it's in an airport.
00:26:33.560 They're already expensive.
00:26:34.880 Yeah.
00:26:35.440 That's not quite an impulse buy.
00:26:36.900 It's not like buying a magazine before the flight.
00:26:39.340 No.
00:26:39.520 You want to buy a bag that costs $5,000.
00:26:44.380 Exactly.
00:26:45.000 Or a $60 bottle of hairspray because you got two and a half hours to kill.
00:26:49.960 What else are you going to do online at the bank?
00:26:53.580 Oh!
00:26:55.980 We'll come back, and unfortunately, like everything else in life, the fun can't go on forever.
00:27:02.580 We're not done yet, though.
00:27:03.740 Anthony Cumia and Sid Rosenberg.
00:27:05.620 We'll be right back.
00:27:06.300 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:27:36.300 trip home that goes just as planned.
00:27:38.840 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:27:40.620 When you travel, travel well.
00:27:43.280 Howard Stern,
00:27:44.380 still a big story. In fact, Anthony was
00:27:46.220 on this show earlier in the
00:27:48.120 8 a.m. hour
00:27:49.460 after I did the show with Anthony yesterday
00:27:52.300 talking about Stern.
00:27:54.960 And, you know, I played Donald
00:27:56.360 Trump, his cut when Trump
00:27:58.220 was on with me last October 7th
00:28:00.460 asking me about
00:28:01.420 I'm missing Stern. And again, I think we're both in agreement
00:28:04.420 me and Anthony that Stern is not done just yet.
00:28:06.660 Not just yet, but who knows.
00:28:08.740 You know, you're back on Terrestrial
00:28:10.480 Radio now, as you like to say
00:28:12.540 with WABC. You're back. Love it.
00:28:14.780 Doing a great job Sunday nights
00:28:16.560 and filling in shows like this.
00:28:18.620 And the more Anthony we get, the better.
00:28:20.640 I tell John and Chad that all the time. The more Anthony, the better.
00:28:23.240 But now that you're back,
00:28:25.320 what did you miss the most?
00:28:27.240 And now that you are back,
00:28:29.300 what are you enjoying
00:28:30.660 most?
00:28:31.360 uh well you know oddly enough i i like because i've been on a subscriber based thing my own
00:28:39.280 thing on the internet for uh over 10 years now and uh it might sound strange but the people that
00:28:46.920 are listening like you they they subscribe so you know that they enjoy you or they wouldn't have
00:28:53.600 paid uh i always liked that element of the people that don't quite like you and they're willing to
00:29:01.340 We come on the phones because we take calls on the Sunday night show
00:29:04.340 and maybe not agree with everything you're saying.
00:29:08.060 And that was always part of terrestrial radio with the Opie and Anthony show.
00:29:14.280 Some of the best calls we ever got were people that couldn't stand us.
00:29:18.660 And as you know, those are some of your biggest fans.
00:29:21.280 You and I are both about the same age.
00:29:22.740 We learned that from the guys before us that even more than the people that love you,
00:29:27.100 the people that really hate you, they're the ones that can't put you down.
00:29:30.980 Well, Sid, you obviously don't remember how many people hated me.
00:29:37.220 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:38.220 I'm this in the morning program.
00:29:39.500 Well, Mr. Iron Man, I do remember.
00:29:41.540 In fact, I was one of them.
00:29:44.060 You called me a prick to the President of the United States, Sid.
00:29:48.920 Sorry about that.
00:29:49.560 And Bernie told me to say that.
00:29:51.220 I hope Moby Worm comes and gets you.
00:29:53.180 Yeah, baby.
00:29:54.840 That's the old, old Iron Man from many years ago.
00:29:59.160 After he got old, he started, he was like, well, I, well, I, well, I, with his cowboy hat.
00:30:07.240 Abonanama, abonanama.
00:30:09.020 And you know who does that?
00:30:10.280 He's very good with that is Daryl Hammond.
00:30:12.020 Daryl Hammond, he does a fat Al Sharpton versus a skinny Al Sharpton.
00:30:17.880 It's hilarious.
00:30:18.860 And then he does the young Bill Clinton compared to the Bill Clinton now.
00:30:23.460 You ever hear that?
00:30:23.900 Yes.
00:30:24.200 It's great.
00:30:24.840 Oh, yeah.
00:30:25.640 Great.
00:30:25.820 I liked, you know, I liked the big fat Al Sharpton.
00:30:29.160 Me too.
00:30:29.700 Better than whatever this is now. 0.94
00:30:31.600 He's an alien.
00:30:32.620 Yeah.
00:30:34.080 When he lost that weight, his head didn't get any smaller, but his body did.
00:30:39.000 So it just looks like one of those, remember the old California Raisin commercials?
00:30:43.740 His head on this little lollipop stick body now.
00:30:47.800 I like the one where he had the big Volkswagen hubcap medallion and his velour jogging suit.
00:30:56.740 Yes.
00:30:57.280 Yes.
00:30:57.600 Oh, was that a great time.
00:30:59.300 They never looked better.
00:31:01.240 Even Al Roker, okay, thinks he's gorgeous now.
00:31:03.960 Just stay fat.
00:31:05.400 That's my advice.
00:31:06.880 Stay fat, right?
00:31:08.360 Yeah.
00:31:08.800 I just saw a picture of John Goodman.
00:31:10.400 Don't stay so bad.
00:31:10.660 Don't be like Ralphie Macy.
00:31:12.320 You'll die at 34 years old.
00:31:13.640 No, no, no.
00:31:14.780 But I just saw a picture of John Goodman, and he lost a bunch of weight.
00:31:19.480 It doesn't look good at that point.
00:31:20.920 And especially maybe when you're a real young guy and you're fat,
00:31:24.420 you could get skinny and that'll work out.
00:31:27.600 But once you get older, it's like the fat is blowing the wrinkles up so you don't get.
00:31:33.460 And then when you lose the weight, it looks like you aged in three months.
00:31:37.680 It's true.
00:31:37.960 You aged 10 years.
00:31:39.040 And we always do the same thing.
00:31:40.180 And I hate doing this, but it's always true.
00:31:41.540 You're like, does he have AIDS?
00:31:43.520 I know.
00:31:43.960 That's what, you know.
00:31:45.840 You got.
00:31:48.860 Come on.
00:31:49.420 He doesn't have AIDS.
00:31:51.280 Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:31:52.560 With the AIDS.
00:31:54.100 Do we not do that all the time for the last 40 years?
00:31:56.780 I mean, the poor guy's out there, he's exercising, he's eating right, he's losing weight, he looks great.
00:32:01.260 We're like, he has AIDS.
00:32:03.020 Yeah, and it all goes back to that, you know, Rock Hudson, and that was in the 80s.
00:32:08.600 They put the camera on him, and everyone went, what the hell happened to Rock? 0.99
00:32:13.340 He's a ladies' man. 0.99
00:32:15.220 It's all about the chicks with Rock Hudson. 0.97
00:32:17.660 And then, oh, oh, we found out.
00:32:21.500 Yeah.
00:32:22.720 I know.
00:32:23.560 It's always a shocker.
00:32:24.980 And who knows?
00:32:25.720 Maybe one day we'll hear that about you.
00:32:27.940 God forbid.
00:32:29.100 Perish the thoughts, Sid Rosenberg.
00:32:31.500 And that was a lot of fun again today.
00:32:33.260 Always, Sid.
00:32:34.300 We're going to do it again tomorrow, buddy, okay?
00:32:35.680 Yes, let's do it.
00:32:36.860 All right.
