Sid Rosenberg is one of the greatest radio broadcasters of all time, but he also has a dark past. He served time in prison for drug possession and served a good amount of time for possession of marijuana. He was also convicted of drug possession in the late 1980s and early 1990s, but it wasn't until he was released from prison that he was able to turn his life around and make a full recovery.

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.

00:01:00.220 It's the Anthony Cumia
00:01:02.000 Show. Entertaining and
00:01:03.760 informative. On the Red Apple Podcast
00:01:06.140 Network.
00:01:08.440 Violator by Depeche Mode.
00:01:10.260 This is Enjoy the Silence.
00:01:12.180 I actually saw these guys once perform
00:01:13.840 at Giant Stadium.
00:01:16.320 And I think
00:01:17.500 the Pixies and the Rockets
00:01:19.540 also performed that night, but I was
00:01:21.680 pretty high. I don't really remember.
00:01:23.360 Anyway, this has been a blast all week long during this hour.
00:01:27.740 Brian Kilmeade will be back from vacation Monday.
00:01:31.800 So we go back to four hours of Sid and Friends in the morning.
00:01:34.820 It's been five, three days this week, six hours two days ago.
00:01:39.460 But the joy has really been working alongside one of the greatest radio personalities in the history of our business.
00:01:45.600 And we're lucky enough to have him at this station, 8 to 11, every Sunday night.
00:01:50.320 My dear friend, the multi-talented Anthony Cumia.
00:01:55.300 Anthony, good morning.
00:01:57.160 Sid, always, always amazing working with the great Sid Rosenberg.
00:02:03.180 And, you know, I was listening to the show before we just started just now.
00:02:09.340 And you are an anomaly, my friend.
00:02:13.300 You're talking about all the things you accomplished.
00:02:17.120 class president great tennis player played golf with the mad dog russo and all when you were on
00:02:27.200 drugs like you are not a good advertisement to keep kids away from drugs sid's like hey kids
00:02:35.620 look you could do drugs and be a complete screw-up yeah and still do very well for yourself
00:02:42.840 You know, you're so funny, and you're brilliant, you're funny, but I have to tell you, just to add to what you just said, when they ask me to speak to young kids who are looking to get into our business, Anthony, and they expect me to say, well, I went to the Connecticut School of Broadcasting, or well, I studied tapes of Howard Cosell and Don Imus.
00:03:05.800 Now, I say to the kids, the fastest way to success is do what I did.
00:03:12.040 Two things in particular, rehab and jail.
00:03:18.380 And if you make it through, you get spit out the other end,
00:03:21.480 and you could be a professional broadcaster.
00:03:23.700 Right, and I kind of say it tongue-in-cheek, but I'm not really because,
00:03:28.720 and you can attest to this because you're as good as anybody ever in the history of our business,
00:03:32.700 Because without life, right, I don't care how much you know, you watch Fox News all day, you read every article, you know, you know everything about every country.
00:03:42.200 It doesn't matter.
00:03:43.340 You're never, ever, ever going to be the entertainment genius.
00:03:47.840 You're not going to get the big money and the big ratings unless you've got life stories.
00:03:53.520 Yeah.
00:03:53.980 Yeah, you've seen these guys, and like you said, been through Connecticut School of Broadcasting or any other broadcast school.
00:03:59.400 and uh you know they know the alloy that the transmitter tower is made out of but they can't
00:04:07.180 string together a coherent sentence and not an interesting story to be found they're not
00:04:13.260 passionate about anything so anything they talk about isn't really compelling and now unfortunately
00:04:19.300 that's also expanded into the world of podcasting because everybody and their mother has a podcast
00:04:26.620 now i know i i always talk about this i i you could go to best buy and buy a podcast kit
00:04:34.980 where you just go home plug it in set it up and now boom you're a professional podcaster i know
00:04:42.720 and that's what that's what uh because i just did an interview it just went up it's on my twitter
00:04:47.320 anthony cumia and it uh i did this interview a while ago and the guy said why go back to
00:04:53.700 terrestrial broadcast radio when podcasting's a thing it's like it's all come full circle
00:05:00.160 you know when you radio was the big thing and podcasting was just uh kind of a small time thing
00:05:07.640 that a few people did everyone wanted to gravitate toward podcasting because it was rebellious it was
00:05:14.260 different and now that's super saturated with just some of the most untalented boring people
00:05:22.520 i've ever seen you're being broadcast radio right you're being kind when you say some i mean i'll
00:05:28.280 be honest there's been discussions in my household over the years yeah you know look at joe rogan
00:05:33.620 he's making 35 million said you can make 30 something million dollars you're every bit as
00:05:38.500 good better better than joe rogan why are you wasting your time in terrestrial radio and i
00:05:43.620 would say to them because yes for every joe rogan there's a million kids in their parents basement
00:05:51.980 with 70s porn on in the background
00:05:54.800 and old Chinese food boxes
00:05:56.820 littered all over their couch.
00:05:58.540 Hey, I'm not in my parents' basement, Sid.
00:06:01.360 At least get that part right. 0.99
00:06:04.360 But it's true.
00:06:05.180 They're like, everybody's Joe Rogan.
00:06:06.680 And he's not even all that good.
00:06:08.500 But he is what he is.
00:06:09.400 He's a major success.
00:06:10.460 He's had more success than I'll ever have.
00:06:12.360 But for every one of him,
00:06:14.200 there's literally thousands of people
00:06:17.000 doing these crappy podcasts
00:06:18.380 who will never, ever have any notoriety
00:06:21.800 or money yeah and and i believe broadcast radio is still even though people have spelt out its
00:06:28.840 death knell for for years now broadcast radio is still the litmus test you can't really be that bad
00:06:37.000 if you're on the radio you can't just all all of a sudden decide hey i'm going to be on the radio
00:06:43.440 and do it you could do that with a podcast and that's why we have a multitude of just untalented
00:06:48.060 boring uh people and it's mostly a grift they're all just uh trying to get whoever's watching them
00:06:55.680 to send them money they don't give them anything for it they don't give them entertainment so radio
00:07:01.040 is still kind of that litmus test for people that know how to do this i know this i do a morning
00:07:07.360 show in the biggest media market in the world and you've had tremendous success in this market
00:07:11.940 all times of the day with terrestrial radio and even satellite radio.
00:07:16.700 And when I leave these studios, that one-hour trip home, Anthony,
00:07:20.140 between taking the four of the five train down to Wall Street,
00:07:23.200 the six-block walk to Wall Street, the ferry home, and the shuttle to my house,
00:07:28.060 I get stopped on average, on average 10 times a day
00:07:32.200 from people that love listening to me, this radio show, this station.
00:07:37.400 And I promise you, there's probably 50 podcasters on the boat, and no one knows who they are. 0.94
00:07:44.860 Sid, it's been great kissing each other's ass here and telling each other how amazing we are. 0.93
00:07:51.540 But maybe we should talk about something else. 0.99
00:07:54.080 But wait a second.
00:07:54.960 One more thing.
00:07:56.460 I'm not ready to move on just yet.
00:07:58.440 Did you see the numbers that you and I get and continue to...
00:08:03.520 YouTube, our discussion about how it's done.
00:08:05.860 Now, that was you.
00:08:06.660 That was not me.
00:08:07.760 I asked a couple of questions.
00:08:10.360 You did an amazing job.
00:08:11.520 Congratulations on that.
00:08:13.640 It's, you know, I like using the technology available these days.
00:08:18.940 Obviously, I never stopped.
00:08:20.660 You know, I've been a nerd, a science nerd and a tech nerd my entire life.
00:08:25.540 That's how I kind of got into podcasting many, many years ago because I just liked the equipment, the technology behind it.
00:08:32.920 and you know I utilize social media a lot I have my YouTube channel which does very well I get a
00:08:40.700 lot of views on that I'm getting a lot of views on the WABC social media platforms and you know
00:08:49.660 you gotta you gotta stick with the times that's another thing and that's something you know to
00:08:54.100 bring up Howard again that's something he just stopped doing he's a boomer and he never wanted
00:09:00.480 to embrace technology and and still do what he did but kind of utilize uh uh the modern technology
00:09:08.140 that's out there now and i think that's really really important for a broadcaster these days
00:09:13.020 couldn't agree more and uh our boss chad lopez started talking about these things anthony nine
00:09:17.980 years ago at madison square garden and i would say this guy's crazy but he's going to be right
00:09:23.980 and he was right one more then we'll take a break get to the serious stuff because
00:09:28.440 You're such a great entertainer.
00:09:29.700 So I piss people off at Fox News all the time.
00:09:33.200 Yes.
00:09:34.020 Because even though Kilmeade has me on his TV show often, he's on my radio show every week, he's on this station every day.
00:09:40.400 I love the guy.
00:09:42.140 You know, Janine Pirro and I, very close.
00:09:44.420 Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, they're all my buddies.
00:09:46.980 But I don't think that Greg Gutfeld is Johnny Carson or David Letterman reborn.
00:09:54.120 I think what he's got going for him is he's the lone Republican guy.
00:09:59.420 I'm not saying he's void of talent.
00:10:01.840 He's a talented guy, does a nice job on the five, and his show is doing well.
00:10:06.480 But for me, that's more a product of he's the only Republican, right?
00:10:11.200 Fallon and not even Fallon.
00:10:13.640 He's actually okay compared to Kimmel and Colbert and the rest of them.
00:10:17.320 So, Fallon decides, I'm going to bring on Greg Gutfeld last night on The Tonight Show and do some cross-promoting.
00:10:25.580 Right, Anthony?
00:10:26.280 Right, yes, yes, I saw some of that.
00:10:27.900 Well, let me play this.
00:10:29.260 Lou, play cut number 16.
00:10:31.300 Then I want Anthony's opinion on A, Gutfeld's performance last night and what you think about Gutfeld in that very successful late-night spot at Fox News.
00:10:41.640 This is cut number 16.
00:10:42.700 I walk into this bar, and I'm with my friend Andy.
00:10:44.900 We just got off shooting something, and I walk in, and I'm looking around.
00:10:47.840 I go, what the hell have I got into?
00:10:49.400 And then I see you, and you look at me, and you have your eyes just kind of explode.
00:10:54.160 And you run towards me, and you tackle me like a giant golden retriever.
00:10:59.740 You're on top of me.
00:11:01.600 And so we're wrestling.
00:11:03.100 We're wrestling.
00:11:04.040 And then you change, and you start wrestling my buddy Andy.
00:11:07.400 And you're wrestling him, and you guys get on the ground.
00:11:09.920 You guys are now on the ground wrestling.
00:11:11.760 What?
00:11:12.000 Yes.
00:11:12.760 So I pull out a cigarette.
00:11:13.840 I light a cigarette and I'm smoking it and you stop and you come over to me and you grab it and you crinkle it and you go, these things will kill you and you threw it.
00:11:25.440 And then and I go, I go, dude, I go, I'm not rich.
00:11:31.120 You're rich.
00:11:31.960 I have to put that.
00:11:33.160 Cigarettes are expensive in New York City.
00:11:34.920 I yell.
00:11:35.380 And you just and all of a sudden your face changed and you look sad.
00:11:40.160 And then you left.
00:11:41.680 Yeah.
00:11:42.080 And then five minutes later, you come back with a fresh pack of parliaments and you hand them to me and you go here.
00:11:49.340 And I go, that was really sweet. 0.93
00:11:50.300 You want me to die.
00:11:53.320 But so get this. 0.82
00:11:54.500 So we're smoking and we're drinking.
00:11:55.920 It's really weird.
00:11:56.640 And then you go, hey, let's go to another bar.
00:11:59.720 And so I go, OK, so we pile into the back of your of your car.
00:12:03.400 It's a backseat.
00:12:04.020 You got a driver.
00:12:04.960 It's me, Andy, you, somebody else.
00:12:06.900 I don't know who cares.
00:12:08.040 Probably dead.
00:12:08.860 We drive.
00:12:10.040 But get this.
00:12:10.700 The amazing thing about this is we drove, took a quick left, got out to another bar.
00:12:17.540 It's the same building.
00:12:18.920 We drove.
00:12:20.500 We drove from one door to another door.
00:12:26.740 Yeah, we had a nice ride.
00:12:28.060 So I think he wanted to impress that you had a driver.
00:12:30.520 now sid what i get from this clip first and foremost is that fallon was very uncomfortable
00:12:40.100 during it because he's had allegations against him that he really drinks a lot
00:12:44.360 he's very belligerent and uh irresponsible when uh when he drinks and this was a story about
00:12:52.340 how drunk jimmy fallon was yep uh so that's what i took away from it when i heard the clip uh
00:12:58.980 earlier uh but as far as by the way you can see that to your point anthony's very smart you can
00:13:04.620 actually see that from fallen's body language when you watch it very uncomfortable he doesn't
00:13:10.700 like talking about his uh days of really getting hammered now i've been out with gutfeld a few
00:13:17.240 times after uh recording a red eye uh when that was on it at fox and uh he could drink back in
00:13:25.160 the day and uh it was always fun and always alcohol was a big part of the after show uh ritual
00:13:33.020 so i know he could drink and and fallon we we've heard like i just said but as far as the the
00:13:41.120 appearance goes and and gutfeld himself i i think he's not only the only republican over at fox news
00:13:48.580 he's an anomaly over there as as a republican um not a republican at fox news there's plenty over
00:13:54.760 there but on late night television right uh he's he's an anomaly he he's he surrounds himself with
00:14:01.640 funny people he has comics on and news people and uh they're very funny i think he writes
00:14:07.740 a good monologue for himself but i don't even think he's trying to be uh johnny carson or
00:14:13.560 letterman reincarnated and i think that's why it does so well is that it's different from those
00:14:19.160 typical late night shows and even fallon is different from kimmel and and i think he's still
00:14:25.300 fallon's still under that network thumb you know and it's agenda driven i mean it's nbc they're
00:14:31.020 very liberal and i think they've they've tamed that down with him and tried to make him not as
00:14:37.180 political they'd rather have him crack raw eggs over sydney sweeney's head than talk about trump
00:14:43.280 so what i and it's worked for him by the way he just got a contract extension trump's been saying
00:14:47.680 for days. Kimmel and Fallon are
00:14:49.600 next. Not going to happen. Fallon's
00:14:51.600 going to stay because of what you just said, Anthony.
00:14:53.520 You're right. He's not nearly
00:14:55.460 as toxic and nasty as 0.58
00:14:57.700 Kimmel and Colbert. By the way, 0.96
00:14:59.820 I like Jimmy Fallon. We'll take a
00:15:01.620 quick break. We'll come back with more. This is
00:15:03.540 the great Anthony Cumia with me,
00:15:05.640 Sid Rosenberg. His dream
00:15:07.680 combination comes right back at you
00:15:09.520 right after these words.
00:15:11.600 It's the Anthony Cumia show.
00:15:13.960 Entertaining and informative
00:15:15.580 on the Red Apple Podcast
00:15:17.440 All right, folks, time now to do the Anthony Cumia, Sid Rosenberg sports report.
00:15:27.000 Now, of course, I know you think we're going to talk about the Yankees struggling taking on Houston
00:15:31.360 or the New York Mets struggling taking on Milwaukee.
00:15:34.480 Both of those clubs, first place teams, the Astros and the Brewers.
00:15:38.760 So it's about to get worse for the Mets and Yankees.
00:15:40.960 Or maybe that the Giants start their preseason tomorrow against the Buffalo Bills
00:15:44.400 or the Jets start their preseason tomorrow
00:15:46.660 out against the Green Bay Packers
00:15:47.980 or that Daniel Jones had to play quarterback
00:15:50.340 for the Colts last night
00:15:51.360 because their starter, Anthony Richardson, got hurt.
00:15:53.640 Now, when Kumia and Rosenberg do sports,
00:15:57.220 we talk about dildos on a basketball court.
00:16:03.320 Yes, Sid, there was another dildoing
00:16:05.860 on the courts of the WNBA.
00:16:09.560 Have you made that a verb now?
00:16:10.940 It's a verb. 0.87
00:16:12.020 Dildoing.
00:16:12.580 Yeah. 0.85
00:16:13.220 Yeah.
00:16:13.760 Yeah. 0.66
00:16:14.400 and uh of course this i believe was the the third the third dildoing yes that we've had this one a
00:16:21.720 different color purple not the fluorescent green we've become so accustomed to watching a flail
00:16:27.740 and flop around on the court um governor hokul has spoken out about this she's asking for common
00:16:34.420 sense dildo control because uh it's getting out of hand it's very dangerous there's no reason
00:16:41.660 anyone should have an assault dildo and uh these things must be uh confiscated and banned
00:16:48.860 so she's pushing for that uh sophie cunningham from the indiana fever who by the way i mean 1.00
00:16:57.380 stunning stunning and before the dildo thing this was the thing like how uh she is unbelievably hot 1.00
00:17:06.980 in an ocean of lesbians right not just lesbians but you know you you referred to both me and gut 1.00
00:17:15.000 belt as anomalies in the first segment cunningham because she's attractive there are attractive 1.00
00:17:20.220 lesbians many uh true but they don't play basketball so no she's she's you know because 1.00
00:17:25.700 she happens to be like you said a very very attractive lady in the wmba not exactly stacked 1.00
00:17:31.920 with that that's all it's okay they can play ball but they're not good looking yeah sophie uh
00:17:36.840 Sophie Cunningham's mom has been sending her texts and it's kind of gone viral because she's very open about it.
00:17:42.640 She did an interview on one of the podcasts, one of the good ones, I guess.
00:17:47.260 And she said her mom has been sending her texts before the game that say, watch out for flying dildos.
00:17:54.480 Come on. 1.00
00:17:55.040 Which is hilarious.
00:17:56.360 I swear.
00:17:57.600 Not flying elbows like you get underneath the basket.
00:18:00.820 Right, right.
00:18:02.280 Do you think they'd, you know, you watch basketball players,
00:18:05.280 they get tapped and they take the big dive on the floor. 1.00
00:18:08.460 Could that happen if a dildo hits one of these girls 0.99
00:18:10.540 and they just flop on the floor and people watch and go, 1.00
00:18:13.600 oh, come on, it barely touched her. 0.99
00:18:15.260 Yeah, because I was told that Sophie Cunningham at the end of the game
00:18:20.180 actually walks back on the court, picks him up, and takes him home. 0.94
00:18:22.900 She doesn't even use her hands.
00:18:27.500 That's a great visual. 0.86
00:18:29.100 It certainly is.
00:18:30.260 Right?
00:18:30.580 So that's the big sports story of the week, I guess, right?
00:18:34.740 Yeah, this is going to be a continuing thing.
00:18:38.280 I mean, I don't see this stopping because it's the single most entertaining thing about WNBA.
00:18:44.120 It's true.
00:18:44.600 No one cares.
00:18:46.100 Let's be honest.
00:18:47.040 I mean, I'm sorry. 0.61
00:18:48.000 And I'm not dissing the ladies here. 1.00
00:18:50.800 Yeah, I'm not calling them not beheaded hoes, baby. 1.00
00:18:54.700 But, you know, no one's really watching for their on-the-court basketball prowess. 1.00
00:19:00.580 And so, you know, this is something that people want to see it.
00:19:05.100 They want to see that thing flop out onto the court.
00:19:08.340 I agree with you.
00:19:09.100 You know, locally here last year, the New York Liberty,
00:19:13.100 was that last year, Lou?
00:19:14.100 They actually won the championship.
00:19:15.600 And I remember coming in that morning and the traffic guy, Joe Nolan,
00:19:20.380 was talking about the potential traffic in New York City.
00:19:24.700 I said, what's going on today?
00:19:26.080 He said, they're having a parade for the New York Liberty.
00:19:29.940 I said, what?
00:19:32.660 I mean, they won.
00:19:34.240 Congratulations.
00:19:35.600 Seriously, it's a great thing.
00:19:36.840 They won a championship.
00:19:37.900 They should be celebrated.
00:19:39.520 You're going to take the New York Liberty down the canyon of heroes? 0.95
00:19:43.880 Of course, everybody agreed with me, but no one had the balls to say it. 0.68
00:19:47.880 And that's why I get fired all the time. 0.97
00:19:49.180 I used to.
00:19:50.480 I'm guessing there wasn't a big turnout.
00:19:53.120 I have to guess that the traffic report was smooth sailing, cross-town, uptown, midtown.
00:20:01.300 I don't see anywhere of note.
00:20:05.740 I don't remember what the turnout was.
00:20:07.840 I know the mayor made a big deal, obviously.
00:20:10.340 Who was mayor then?
00:20:11.540 It was Adams.
00:20:12.680 Oh, it was Adams.
00:20:13.360 It was last year or so.
00:20:14.740 Oh, did you have your little meeting with Adams?
00:20:18.800 I'm glad you asked, Anthony.
00:20:20.160 Yes, yes, I remember.
00:20:21.660 It's today.
00:20:22.600 Oh, it is today.
00:20:23.760 Yeah.
00:20:24.220 Is it just a sit down in the office meeting or is it lunch or dinner or something?
00:20:29.640 These are great questions.
00:20:31.080 I don't know.
00:20:32.620 I honestly, I don't know.
00:20:33.980 You know, initially they told me the venue, the time, and I coughed it up.
00:20:39.700 I started getting phone calls, like a lot of them, man, a lot.
00:20:43.440 The Daily News and the Apple.
00:20:45.040 Sure.
00:20:45.380 So there's this one guy, and I kind of like this guy now.
00:20:48.000 I didn't before because he would say horrible things about me,
00:20:50.920 But his name is Chris Sommerfeld.
00:20:52.380 So did I, Sid.
00:20:53.300 Oh, yes, you did.
00:20:55.780 Yes, you did.
00:20:56.920 Now we're pals.
00:20:57.700 Yeah, now we're great buddies.
00:20:58.920 Listen, J.D. Vance called Trump Hitler.
00:21:00.860 Who cares?
00:21:01.260 Yes.
00:21:01.720 You move on.
00:21:02.600 So this guy Sommerfeld would write this nasty stuff about me.
00:21:05.060 He covers the mayor daily, and he hates the mayor.
00:21:07.380 Okay.
00:21:07.880 So he starts calling me, and I give him all the information.
00:21:10.600 Gracie Manchin, 2 o'clock Tuesday.
00:21:12.420 And I don't think City Hall was happy that I gave out all those specifics
00:21:17.700 because, you know, there's going to be 90 guys standing outside Gracie, you know.
00:21:22.540 So all I know is the meeting is today.
00:21:25.780 And even if I knew the venue in time, which I do, I'm going to say that I don't.
00:21:30.800 Why can't I keep it out of my mind that I believe it's going to look like Joe Pesci's scene in Goodfellas
00:21:36.160 when he thinks he's being made?
00:21:38.760 You're going to walk in and go, oh, hi, mayor.
00:21:42.120 Hello.
00:21:42.760 Oh, no.
00:21:46.020 I hope not.
00:21:47.140 But I, boy, I got to give him credit.
00:21:50.280 You know, you haven't been a fan of his.
00:21:52.860 You obviously are putting all your support behind Curtis, which is what everyone that has half a mind in New York City should be doing.
00:22:01.040 So what's his angle on this to try to ingratiate himself with you?
00:22:05.880 So, you know, on the number one rated morning show in New York, you're a little lighter on him.
00:22:12.420 Well, look, you know what it is.
00:22:14.840 you're driving around town and you hear this loud mouth unafraid this is and you're the same way
00:22:21.460 uh you don't want to hear that you don't want to get texts every 10 minutes from your friends
00:22:26.700 hey Sid just said that so there is some of that there but damage control a little fire uh yes
00:22:32.900 without the fires right plus I think he generally liked me when we were friends last year and I
00:22:37.640 liked him but I think uh even more than that for me at least my motivation is well yes yes Anthony
00:22:44.640 I am putting all my eggs into Curtis's basket.
00:22:48.540 I'm really not because I'm not because if I find out, for example, come October or late September, four to six weeks away from the election, that Curtis, based on that data, can't win.
00:23:02.680 I've told Curtis this and he appreciates it.
00:23:04.800 If he can't win, but Adams or Cuomo can, then I will consider jumping ship because for me, as much as, yes, I'm dying for Curtis to win, the most important thing is for Mamdani to lose.
00:23:19.500 So if I find out that Adams or Cuomo's got a better chance, I'm going to jump ship.
00:23:25.660 Now, Adams right now has the least chance.
00:23:29.840 He's polling horribly, horribly.
00:23:34.020 Are you going to bring this up at your little shindig with him?
00:23:38.420 Well, let me ask you this.
00:23:39.780 How would you do that?
00:23:41.220 I don't know.
00:23:43.100 Talking him out of dropping out of the race is probably a tough nut.
00:23:47.560 But I would have to bring it up.
00:23:51.560 Like, hey, maybe not in that way.
00:23:53.920 You'd probably ask him something to the effect of,
00:23:56.420 so what do you think your chances are?
00:23:58.380 Have you seen the polls?
00:23:59.600 Do you have plans for your post-mayoral life?
00:24:04.020 See, no one's going to drop out.
00:24:07.420 He's not going to drop out because he's getting money, right?
00:24:10.160 He's the incumbent.
00:24:11.060 The real estate guys are giving him money.
00:24:12.700 He doesn't get matching funds.
00:24:13.580 No, he didn't get matching funds.
00:24:15.060 They actually said they think he's up to some shenanigans.
00:24:17.960 They said no, but he's got millions already, and the real estate guys are giving him more.
00:24:24.140 And he's the incumbent, and he's got a big ego, so he's not going to quit.
00:24:28.060 Curtis is not going to quit.
00:24:29.580 He's a lone Republican.
00:24:31.380 Andrew's not going to quit.
00:24:32.540 He's in second place, and he can make fun of him all you want.
00:24:35.300 He got over 400,000 votes in the primary, and Mamdani's the leader.
00:24:39.280 So there's no realistic discussion about any of these four men quitting anytime soon.
00:24:46.900 Yeah, I'm afraid for New York, though, because, you know, looking at Mamdani
00:24:52.180 and what a juggernaut he's been during the primaries
00:24:56.660 and even now against these other three candidates,
00:24:59.860 it doesn't look good for New York.
00:25:01.960 It just doesn't look good. Another move by New Yorkers to damage themselves, damage their cities.
00:25:10.500 And, you know, they'll just keep complaining. If he does win, God forbid, you know, is going to be more complaining like, oh, how did this happen?
00:25:19.280 Why is this? Why is crime up even more? Why are prices high? Why are the homeless still rummer?
00:25:26.040 it will continue happening and people won't understand that they brought it on themselves
00:25:32.100 you're 100 right you get what you vote for yeah right don't don't don't vote for somebody and 0.96
00:25:38.760 then bitch about it whether it's alvin bragg our crappy da or the mayor you get what you vote for 0.72

00:26:16.040 happy birthday to one of the great band
00:26:18.200 members not Bino not Larry
00:26:20.180 Mullen Jr. not Adam Clayton but
00:26:22.000 The Edge, the great Edge.
00:26:24.420 Is he 64?
00:26:25.800 First, it's the Joshua Tree.
00:26:27.660 It's not unraveling.
00:26:28.220 Oh, you're right.
00:26:28.920 It was a Joshua Tree.
00:26:29.840 I just want to make sure you...
00:26:30.700 No, you're right.
00:26:31.460 With or without you and this song and very good.
00:26:34.360 Edge is not happy with you right now.
00:26:35.780 I'm sorry, Edge.
00:26:36.880 You're right. 1.00
00:26:38.040 You're a little bit stupid, man, in there. 1.00
00:26:39.840 It's like coming in Dublin right there. 1.00
00:26:41.640 You're right.
00:26:42.360 The Joshua Tree.
00:26:42.800 Come on, Sid.
00:26:43.920 You're the fan, not me.
00:26:46.000 I don't know what you're talking.
00:26:47.480 Is he 64 today?
00:26:49.040 64.
00:26:50.060 So that makes him always the same age as Anthony.
00:26:53.000 Yes.
00:26:53.600 Yeah.
00:26:53.900 Wow.
00:26:54.240 Crazy, right?
00:26:55.120 Well, how old are you?
00:26:56.840 64.
00:27:01.140 Sid, this just in, the Chicago Sky has just signed the purple dildo to a multi-million dollar deal.
00:27:07.420 It is now the most popular player in the WNBA. 0.91
00:27:11.160 Just get that out.
00:27:12.780 Well, I just got this from my friend Lynn, and this is a very popular social media account.
00:27:18.180 I'm sure you follow it, Anthony.
00:27:20.180 Cat Turd?
00:27:21.280 You familiar with this?
00:27:22.320 I am familiar with Cat Turd.
00:27:24.640 It reads this. 0.52
00:27:26.660 There's been more green dildos thrown on the courts of WNBA games 0.99
00:27:31.360 than illegals crossing the border in the last three months. 0.97
00:27:35.420 We're so back.
00:27:37.120 We are so back.
00:27:38.740 Right.
00:27:39.400 It's true.
00:27:40.480 It is true.
00:27:41.100 I mean, look at the numbers.
00:27:43.820 Maybe not a year ago because Biden and Harris started to catch on that,
00:27:47.880 oh, my God, we're going to lose, so let's make up stuff.
00:27:51.840 But go back to two years ago and look at the numbers of folks 1.00
00:27:55.460 that were coming into this country.
00:27:57.100 I'm not even talking about the ones who have no idea where they are,
00:28:00.080 who they are, you know, those 2 million.
00:28:02.780 And the numbers were astronomical, Anthony.
00:28:05.480 Oh, yeah, and they were talking about how they were tough on the border
00:28:09.300 and they're down there and they're making sure that we have border security.
00:28:13.980 And then that ridiculous thing, every time they asked that dummy, Kamala Harris, about the border, she'd be like, well, there was the bipartisan bill that they didn't sign because Trump sent. 0.77
00:28:26.700 And we all knew that was nonsense because look what Trump did. 0.92
00:28:30.740 No bill, no nothing.
00:28:32.600 He sent down the United States military to protect our own border.
00:28:38.560 What a novel idea that was.
00:28:40.620 i loved your impression too because you added the giggle look i've been around
00:28:46.220 a long time if god is good to me and i'll be 59 not 64 but 59 come next april god bless thank
00:28:53.040 you and i've seen some really bad politicians you know i was alive to see a beam for example
00:28:58.100 when he was mayor here in new york or david dinkins who was a very nice man very nice man
00:29:02.780 but a horrible mayor this harris i've never seen anybody less prepared and i'm gonna say this at 1.00
00:29:10.280 the risk of upsetting women and maybe even some black people she was dumb she's stupid she's 1.00
00:29:15.900 gonna run for governor of california based on what she's dumb yeah yeah not a bright girl and uh she 1.00
00:29:23.040 just had nothing going for herself going in to that election and because the media for the most 1.00
00:29:29.700 part is is a propaganda wing for the left we were told she was the most amazing candidate barack
00:29:37.480 hussain obama said she is probably the most qualified person to ever but ever run for president
00:29:46.200 he did say that but remember that she was running for a couple of weeks and we hadn't heard from the
00:29:52.280 obamas all right yes remember and then all of a sudden she got that rigged phone call from barack
00:29:59.000 and michelle so he had to lay it on and i remember saying this that day he had to lay it on like you 0.99
00:30:05.560 just said really thick because the truth is he knew she was a moron he knew she couldn't win 0.99
00:30:10.960 so he waited to the last minute to call her and then he laid it on real thick yep and did you see 0.99
00:30:17.860 now recently uh the obamas sold their house there in the vineyard i did see that 37 million dollars
00:30:24.540 i think they bought it for 11 million wow something like that just a few years ago
00:30:29.620 And, you know, does it come with the haunted chef that was possibly, possibly murdered while he was supporting?
00:30:40.460 Possibly.
00:30:41.140 The old Vince Foster deal.
00:30:43.460 Yeah.
00:30:43.820 The amount of money that the Obamas made over the years is perverse.
00:30:47.960 I mean, that's all these guys.
00:30:50.300 All of them.
00:30:50.820 Pelosi.
00:30:52.000 You know, you're telling me that on her salary they've amassed hundreds of millions of dollars?
00:30:57.740 or does she know what deals are going to be made
00:31:01.000 and what regulations are going to be put on or lifted 0.94
00:31:03.280 and then invests through her husband
00:31:06.080 when he's not getting hammered on the head by some homeless guy?
00:31:10.520 He's a world-class investor.
00:31:13.560 Amazing. Millions.
00:31:14.940 I got to think whatever Martha Stewart went to jail for. 0.74
00:31:18.020 Nancy Pelosi's done worse. 0.97
00:31:19.600 I mean, she knew about NVIDIA before they did.
00:31:22.140 Let's be honest.
00:31:23.100 Yeah, exactly.
00:31:24.260 The deregulation, all the...
00:31:25.940 Because politics plays into the corporate world so much.
00:31:30.320 They're hand in hand.
00:31:31.760 How the hell do you let them actually invest in these companies when they know what's going to happen?
00:31:38.380 Shouldn't be allowed.
00:31:39.320 Well, have you done, you know, you made millions of dollars in your career, literally millions.
00:31:44.000 I have not.
00:31:44.500 I have not.
00:31:45.040 Yes.
00:31:45.280 But you made millions.
00:31:46.840 Did you invest properly?
00:31:49.500 Well, I didn't.
00:31:50.960 I had really smart people around me that demanded I do that.
00:31:55.540 But my agent, who, you know, he's not with us anymore, Bob Eatman.
00:32:01.360 You remember Bob?
00:32:02.500 You ever deal with Bob Eatman?
00:32:04.020 No, no, no.
00:32:04.620 I knew Don Buckwall.
00:32:06.080 When he said not with us, I thought it was Don Buckwall because he died.
00:32:08.900 Now Tony Burton gets all these guys.
00:32:10.700 I didn't know your agent.
00:32:11.820 No.
00:32:12.080 Yeah, Bob was great.
00:32:13.140 And he really was hands-on with me and Opie.
00:32:17.100 And because we were making him boatloads of money.
00:32:19.860 But he was also a nice guy.
00:32:21.020 And when I got those big paychecks, when we finally signed that WNEW deal, it was a multimillion dollar deal.
00:32:28.120 I didn't know about this whole world.
00:32:30.760 I thought like I'd go to the cubby at the station and grab my paycheck and I'd go to the bank and give them a check for $300,000 for that week and go, could you cash this?
00:32:43.380 And I put it in my pocket and go to the bar and buy some drinks.
00:32:47.340 I didn't know.
00:32:48.520 You never see it.
00:32:49.400 It goes into a deferred retirement plan and this and that.
00:32:53.340 And thank God.
00:32:54.320 Thank God.
00:32:55.000 Thank God.
00:32:55.960 Because now with your tender age of 64, you've got plenty of money to buy more guns.
00:33:00.440 That's it.
00:33:00.940 More guns.
00:33:02.100 Drones.
00:33:02.960 I like drones.
00:33:04.080 I play around with drones.
00:33:05.820 I got my Belgian Malinois.
00:33:08.500 I got cars.
00:33:09.720 I like fast cars.
00:33:11.460 You know, if it wasn't for Bob Eatman and my finance guy, Barry, it would have been over.
00:33:17.100 I would have blown it all.
00:33:18.680 Yeah, I would have, too.
00:33:19.900 Well, life is good.
00:33:20.900 Yeah, life is good.
00:33:21.740 Well, unfortunately, Anthony, these hours fly by.
00:33:24.300 They do, Sid.
00:33:25.160 I got to tell you, it was a lot of fun this week.
00:33:28.020 The people love it.
00:33:28.820 You can watch all this, too, every afternoon at noon.
00:33:31.160 It goes right up on WABC's YouTube channel.

00:33:51.240 Brian Kilmeade will be back from vacation in this spot on Monday.
00:33:55.760 But, Anthony, I got to tell you, what a real honor to do this week with you.
00:34:00.220 Likewise, my friend.
00:34:01.300 You are great.

00:34:57.300 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket
00:35:01.080 takes you to more than just your destination.
00:35:03.860 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,
00:35:07.600 and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.
00:35:13.280 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,
00:35:18.040 our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
00:35:23.860 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:35:25.740 When you travel, travel well.
