00:00:00.000 On the biggest stage in the world, FanDuel is changing the game

00:00:04.100 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with them.

00:00:07.520 Not anymore.

00:00:08.460 With FanDuel's Super Sub, if your player's subbed out, your bet stays in.

00:00:12.800 That's right.

00:00:13.380 If your player leaves a match, your bet continues on with the substitute,

00:00:17.560 so you're still in it until the final whistle.

00:01:04.480 They haven't figured

00:01:05.900 it out yet. They're not

00:01:07.940 quite on to me yet.

00:01:10.260 That's nice to know.

00:01:12.100 I keep waiting for

00:01:13.180 the text, the phone call.

00:01:17.260 My

00:01:17.820 boss over there.

00:01:19.900 This isn't one of those shock

00:01:21.320 things where i go oh my boss it's crazy uh my boss over there he texts me you know there are

00:01:28.140 things to do things i have to do meetings and whatnot and uh every so often uh he'll text me

00:01:34.760 and and i just get dread this feeling of dread pours through me my broadcast radio boss needs

00:01:43.720 me to call him and here's the thing he doesn't say hey anthony uh how's the day going oh uh when

00:01:52.660 you get a chance could you give me a call no problems nothing big just want to talk about

00:01:56.940 something it's like call me when you get a minute oh christ i've been through this before if you've

00:02:04.080 done any background check on anthony comey of the opian anthony show uh sirius xm satellite radio

00:02:10.060 It runs the gamut.

00:02:12.320 Every single thing bad that's ever happened in my career has started with one of my bosses going,

00:02:21.680 hey, give me a call.

00:02:24.980 So I'm a little shell-shocked, gun-shy.

00:02:28.560 I'm like that World War I vet.

00:02:31.020 You take a picture of him and you're like, that kid's 19 years old.

00:02:34.980 He looks 60.

00:02:36.320 It's because he's been through it.

00:02:37.600 Been through the ringer.

00:02:38.480 I've been through the ringer.

00:02:40.060 I get a little, uh, you know, shaky when the boss calls me and, uh, three weeks though.

00:02:46.920 So I'm back on unless they yank me during the middle of the show, knock wood.

00:02:51.880 We're doing pretty good.

00:02:53.300 How's everybody else?

00:02:54.540 Hope you had a great week and a great weekend.

00:02:58.160 Spring is in the air.

00:02:59.320 So I hear I'm not going to do a weather break.

00:03:01.980 No time and temps here, even though it is, uh, for the most part, amplitude modulation.

00:03:07.420 Uh, I did want to talk a little bit.

00:03:09.540 First, I got to let everybody know that Steve Grillo from the Howard Stern Show, he's waiting.

00:03:15.480 He's waiting in the wings.

00:03:17.300 We're going to be talking about his gig as intern.

00:03:22.700 Those internships over at Stern lasted forever.

00:03:27.840 So it's always an interesting thing to talk to some of the people that were over there.

00:03:33.400 But Steve was there during those years that were known to this day as the greatest years of the Howard Stern show.

00:03:40.580 Greatest years of the greatest radio show ever.

00:03:43.640 And he was part of that.

00:03:45.520 And he's got the gall to bitch about it in a book now called Gorilla Parts.

00:03:51.500 All these guys.

00:03:53.800 I love Steve.

00:03:54.920 He bailed me out or he backed me up.

00:03:56.660 He had my back at the Comedy Cellar in New York City one night.

00:03:59.940 We'll talk about that.

00:04:01.120 We'll talk about other things in a little bit.

00:04:02.800 sit tight steve will be with you uh shortly but uh first thing i want to talk about is again

00:04:09.760 more of these celebrities are ruining everything ruining movies tv shows music

00:04:18.640 um oh and i've talked about this before i apologize the the over the course of the years

00:04:25.620 we remember these people as not having political opinions and it was great you don't want to hear

00:04:30.000 them you don't want their art tainted you don't want what you love watching them for movies and

00:04:37.460 tv shows and listening to the music you don't want to watch and then go all right this jerk

00:04:43.380 this guy but uh boy there's no getting away from it these days is there no getting away from it

00:04:53.380 they all seem like just pieces of crap.

00:04:58.440 And it's hard to imagine how.

00:05:01.600 How does a community, like the Hollywood people,

00:05:05.220 and I know it's not just Hollywood anymore,

00:05:06.940 it's spread all over the world, a lot of these people,

00:05:10.900 but they come together and they work under this umbrella

00:05:13.380 of what's still called Hollywood.

00:05:16.280 And they all have the same mindset.

00:05:20.660 And it starts really getting you to believe these conspiracy theories that are they in some some weird cabal?

00:05:30.120 Is there a cult? Do they have to go through what are called shame rituals?

00:05:35.360 When you see some of these A-list celebrities come out on award shows wearing a loincloth and everyone laughs.

00:05:42.960 Did someone, did some entity, some conglomerate at the top of the pyramid say, this guy needs a little wake-up call?

00:05:53.680 He's been giving us some problems.

00:05:57.140 Let's make him walk out on the Academy Awards wearing nothing, covering himself with a little cue card in front of his naughty bits.

00:06:08.380 And these are called shame rituals.

00:06:10.680 so there's all this stuff that goes on that and believe me i am a logical reasonable fella

00:06:17.020 do not google me but i i feel i'm a logical reasonable fellow and um all you see are these

00:06:26.280 hollywood people doing things of the same mindset that gets you thinking maybe there is something to

00:06:32.800 this whole conspiratorial thing andrina chrome where they uh extract the blood of youngsters

00:06:42.000 while they are terrorized and then use that as some kind of serum to stay young i don't know

00:06:49.540 years ago i would have told anyone they were i was going to say bat you know but uh they were crazy

00:06:57.040 for suggesting that but today in 2025 who the hell am i this is me being like humble

00:07:06.500 i'm saying who am i to to dispute that to say oh you're crazy with everything we've seen over the

00:07:14.680 course of the years uh i am willing to at least give anything the benefit of the doubt and when

00:07:21.140 it comes to these hollywood people and what they're up to uh it's just too much of a coincidence

00:07:27.580 that every single one of them has the identical political ideology they feel compelled to tell

00:07:35.620 average americans how they should live their lives from their you know gated communities

00:07:41.020 away from all the minorities or illegal aliens or anyone else that they believe you should live

00:07:48.640 near all that diversity they talk about the wonderful diversity our greatest strength as

00:07:55.360 they put it uh you'd be hard-pressed to find one of them that lives anywhere near the diversity

00:08:02.880 that they profess to adore that makes uh our country so strong um so a lot of these people

00:08:11.340 they just come out of the woodwork and and you you enjoyed them and then you see they're

00:08:15.460 Just garbage.

00:08:16.780 Jon Hamm has been one.

00:08:18.000 De Niro is a classic example.

00:08:20.400 George Clooney.

00:08:21.580 But there's this guy, Stephen Graham.

00:08:25.840 He's an actor.

00:08:27.040 He was in Band of Brothers and Boardwalk Empire, The Irishman.

00:08:32.720 And he's a great actor.

00:08:34.400 And I was like, oh, no.

00:08:35.940 They put him in this new thing called The Adolescence.

00:08:42.980 That's it.

00:08:43.400 Netflix put out a thing called Adolescence.

00:08:46.160 And I'm like, another great actor that is put in one of these real PC movies.

00:08:50.960 And then I find out he wrote the damn thing.

00:08:54.580 I'm like, oh, no, he's also one of them.

00:08:59.080 It's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

00:09:01.360 You find out they slept next to a bean pod and they wake up in their jerk offs.

00:09:05.060 so um this guy's in that and and this kind of goes to something that i think anyone can can uh uh

00:09:16.960 agree with over the course of the week things will just piss you off we've all been through them

00:09:22.520 and i have a couple of things that have gotten me a little uh miffed over the course of the week

00:09:27.560 one of these is the netflix show adolescence this is a show based on a real crime that took place

00:09:36.200 uh a young a black teen killed a classmate a girl and this is something that was a big in the news

00:09:47.900 a lot of knife crime in the uk this took place in the uk a lot of knife crime machete fights i've

00:09:54.620 never seen a machete fight and now you go through uh social media you'll be watching uh machete

00:10:00.440 fights over there in the uk um and then netflix decides to use it as a basis for their based on

00:10:07.160 a true story show adolescence and you find out uh it was a young black teen and what do they do

00:10:14.320 they cast the most angelic looking white kid in this role and i've talked all the time about how

00:10:22.160 they trade races in certain roles but uh you you'd be very hard pressed to see um a a white

00:10:31.700 person that is a criminal committed crime a horrible person and then they recast it as a

00:10:37.540 black person in the reboot so this kind of bugged bugged me because i see it all the time in

00:10:43.380 commercials you know they make people um they make the white dudes look like idiots straight white

00:10:47.920 guys i mean you are really the garbage of the world right now and um yeah it's not uh it's not

00:10:57.680 fun to watch if you fall into that category i'll tell you that much uh the other thing was

00:11:03.740 uh jimmy kimmel that annoyed me kimmel he's talking about elon musk and the teslas being

00:11:11.600 vandalized all over the country this is a thing and the democrats call it a protest

00:11:17.160 oh no this is a protest but they're literally destroying property endangering lives anytime

00:11:23.660 you resort to arson you don't know if somebody's gonna get hurt firemen go in there and even if

00:11:29.080 they have a heart attack uh you will be charged with that person's death in some way shape or

00:11:35.540 form so jimmy kimmel here's kimmel ragging on uh elon during his show and then the audience kind

00:11:43.480 of laughs and applause while they listen to elon speak uh watch a little of this it's it's disgusting

00:11:49.680 is what it is even beyond incidents of arson someone lit a bunch of teslas on fire and here's

00:11:56.920 the thing i get that people are upset burning a car might not be great for the environment i don't

00:12:01.380 think that's what they had in mind when they invented the electric car in las vegas yesterday

00:12:06.180 someone threw a molotov cocktail at a tesla service center at least five teslas blew up one

00:12:12.100 from the molotov and four because that's just what teslas do sometimes and no one should be

00:12:17.720 setting fires you could kill somebody you could hurt somebody elon musk might not care about

00:12:22.300 other people but decent americans should the world's richest man it can has been uh trying

00:12:29.880 to drum up sympathy for himself lately his sales are down his stock is down last night he was somber

00:12:35.680 as he went through this with sean hannity tesla is a peaceful company we've never done anything

00:12:39.780 awful um i've never done anything awful i've only done productive things so uh i think we just have

00:12:46.580 uh a deranged it's there's some kind of mental illness thing going on here because this doesn't

00:12:52.620 make any sense well let me see if i can explain it uh when you pull right here because uh the

00:12:59.560 audience is laughing at his cadence the way elon talks yes sorry sorry the guy's a genius

00:13:06.160 sorry he might be on the spectrum ask any liberal you know if anybody made fun of somebody with any

00:13:12.660 kind of a mental problem or autism or you're on the spectrum there'd be hell to pay this guy

00:13:19.140 who's obviously brilliant there's no denying this guy is brilliant he plucked two stranded

00:13:25.700 astronauts out of outer space and brought him back home whereas no one else could have done

00:13:31.500 that at the time unless we paid some ruskies uh a few rubles uh to bring him back but no american

00:13:37.800 company could have brought him back spacex did that the guy's brilliant sorry he he doesn't speak

00:13:43.600 like you do when you're talking about lgbtq rights and how horrible trump is maybe he doesn't have

00:13:50.480 that uh delivery because he's got brilliant stuff going on in his head these people are so damn

00:13:56.760 annoying we'll be back in a couple of minutes don't go anywhere it's the anthony cumia show

00:14:03.020 oh yeah such a choice this week oh my god who do we have tim walls adam schiff maybe aoc

00:14:12.740 and Bernie getting out there both of them on stage like they're making a run for the presidency

00:14:19.800 the president's been in for a few weeks a month whatever it's been uh slow down slow down they're

00:14:29.660 already campaigning for president these democrats are amazing so funny to watch but um i i think

00:14:36.640 this week we got to make it rosie o'donnell rosie who is just a pro at being a clown she has been

00:14:44.140 for so long now just telling everyone who and what uh who who they should hang out with what

00:14:51.020 they should do um talking about things like she's an expert on it where you watch her life literally

00:14:57.780 fall apart look i'm not a doctor but i don't want to have to uh diagnose those things that pop up

00:15:05.360 on our lips all the time whoa what the hell is that i went through some teen acne but uh by this

00:15:13.340 point in her life she probably shouldn't get that unless well who knows i ain't saying nothing but

00:15:18.900 uh rosie is one of those people that put that cold sore ridden mouth uh put her money where

00:15:26.240 the cold sore ridden mouth was she left the united states of america yes a lot of celebrities decided

00:15:34.960 to do this this is kind of a good thing i think i think it's a good thing we want them gone

00:15:41.300 and some of them are actually leaving rosie did she went to ireland the emerald emerald isle this

00:15:51.520 the poor that country isn't going through enough with with uh illegals pouring over their borders

00:15:58.920 I hear from people I hear from people that say Dublin is like if you go to Dublin and you see someone that's actually Irish, it's like they're a tourist.

00:16:10.720 Like you have something in common, like, oh, look, we're a tourist in this third world country.

00:16:15.220 Where are you from? And they're like, Dublin.

00:16:18.760 And you're like, oh, what happened?

00:16:21.020 Well, we all know what happened.

00:16:22.660 But Rosie decided she's going to move there.

00:16:25.400 And I'm sure she's got plenty of money to move to a great little farm or what have you, be milked twice a day.

00:16:33.760 But she she had to leave the United States because of Donald Trump.

00:16:41.440 And then what do you do? What traitorous garbage do you do?

00:16:46.220 You go on TV and bad mouth the United States of America.

00:16:50.580 Listen to Rosie here.

00:16:55.400 yes you don't oh oh oh no it was the rosy cut of her talking about well well the first technical

00:17:07.380 difficulty uh we've ever had i'll check that but i'm sure you're right and i'm uh i was a miss

00:17:13.080 she goes on tv and talks about uh how she couldn't live in america because of their leadership

00:17:19.320 and starts talking about how horrible Trump is.

00:17:23.740 And Elon, she says that Elon runs the Internet.

00:17:28.260 That's what he's saying, runs the Internet.

00:17:30.880 And that way no one could get a true opinion on the Internet

00:17:35.620 or voice their opinions on what's going on.

00:17:40.220 So again, Rosie is definitively the clown of the week.

00:17:46.520 We got to we got to give her that crown.

00:17:50.000 We're sorry.

00:17:51.040 I think I think aside from the atomic bomb that dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, those two bombs, Rosie could be the worst thing we've ever dropped on on another nation.

00:18:01.080 I apologize.

00:18:01.840 Be right back.

00:21:21.400 I'm so sorry.

00:21:23.280 I don't want to throw anybody.

00:21:25.560 Your staff here is really great.

00:21:27.040 I'm not trying to throw anybody under the bus.

00:21:29.620 I forgot.

00:21:31.280 I've been doing podcasts all week.

00:21:32.880 I apologize.

00:21:34.080 Have you ever been in a podcast studio that looks like the one you're in?

00:21:37.800 Yeah, actually, I have.

00:21:38.700 You did it again.

00:21:40.200 I did.

00:21:40.940 I actually have.

00:21:43.080 Steve, look, you're going to have to calculate your life.

00:21:47.000 I've done.

00:21:47.740 I've done.

00:21:47.980 I got it.

00:21:48.380 I got it.

00:21:48.820 I'm on.

00:21:49.400 Just a little bit.

00:21:50.960 Okay.

00:21:51.180 I know you were on Opie's show earlier.

00:21:54.140 Well, I know.

00:21:55.200 He was supposed to.

00:21:56.320 I did my book signing yesterday.

00:21:58.280 No, that's great.

00:21:59.500 Someone in his family was sick, and he wasn't able to be there.

00:22:04.380 And I understand that.

00:22:05.380 Family comes first, always.

00:22:06.820 But that's great.

00:22:07.640 All I'm saying is you're in the basement of a beer bar at one point.

00:22:13.300 Now you're on broadcast radio, Steve.

00:22:16.000 Yes.

00:22:16.320 And you know what?

00:22:17.260 I feel so at home right now.

00:22:20.500 Well, obviously, you must drop F-bombs and S-bombs nonstop in your house.

00:22:25.940 I grew up in an Irish household.

00:22:28.200 What do you want?

00:22:28.840 Okay.

00:22:29.500 That makes sense.

00:22:30.360 All right.

00:22:30.860 Let's take a breath and get into this whole thing.

00:22:34.260 I'm back on terrestrial radio.

00:22:35.900 Yes.

00:22:36.380 Remember this.

00:22:37.340 I got this.

00:22:37.980 Think about it.

00:22:38.460 Here's what I do, Steve.

00:22:39.740 I kind of recall when I was having to meet a girlfriend's parents.

00:22:44.160 Yeah.

00:22:44.640 And you go over and you still want to sound like you know what you're talking about, about

00:22:48.300 things, and you want to be yourself, but you cut out a few things.

00:22:51.800 Yeah.

00:22:52.100 You don't tell how you had her legs akimbo in the limo.

00:22:56.100 Yeah, exactly.

00:22:57.360 Our breath still smells.

00:22:58.900 Good breath. We're good. We're on regular.

00:23:01.140 You want a real quick funny story?

00:23:03.140 My ex-girlfriend, I met her grandfather who was like the icon of the whole family.

00:23:07.280 He was like dying.

00:23:08.240 And we sat and we watched the news and we just met.

00:23:12.300 And it was like Shaquille O'Neal went up.

00:23:14.160 It was like the highlights for the news.

00:23:15.920 He dunked it and smashed all the glass went everywhere.

00:23:19.600 And I jumped up and I said a bunch of bad words and I got kicked out of the house.

00:23:24.460 All right.

00:23:25.660 So I understand.

00:23:26.660 You just don't say those words in front of people.

00:23:30.020 I understand.

00:23:30.480 You know, you've watched the George Carlin.

00:23:33.380 Yes.

00:23:34.000 Seven Dirty Words.

00:23:35.300 I know.

00:23:35.920 Dude, you were on the biggest show ever.

00:23:39.080 I know.

00:23:39.340 I know.

00:23:39.840 I know.

00:23:40.440 Okay.

00:23:41.100 I'm adjusted.

00:23:41.620 I'm adjusted.

00:23:42.220 I apologize.

00:23:43.060 Hold on.

00:23:43.440 I want to get into that.

00:23:45.020 The first thing I want to say, though, is I always am indebted to you, Steve.

00:23:50.300 Really?

00:23:50.860 Wow.

00:23:51.100 I remember having my back at the comedy cellar that night when the unbelievably strong, muscular, tall Jon Stewart came up and had a problem, had a problem with me.

00:24:05.140 We were sitting at the bar.

00:24:06.580 We were laughing, having a good time.

00:24:07.880 Yeah, we were.

00:24:08.960 And Jon Stewart came in and sat there, and we kind of were face-to-face for a moment.

00:24:15.080 I go, hey, Jon, how you doing?

00:24:16.800 And he got mad.

00:24:17.800 He goes, oh, really?

00:24:18.760 I know who you are, and I know you've said about me.

00:24:20.700 He just got completely obnoxious.

00:24:22.140 Oh, yeah.

00:24:22.480 He was completely repulsed by you, by the way.

00:24:25.380 Yeah, yeah.

00:24:26.000 He was just like, oh, why are you in my face?

00:24:28.960 And I was in the awkward position because it seemed like I introduced you to him.

00:24:33.820 Yeah.

00:24:34.160 Because I was already talking to him, and you totally, like, C-blocked me and jumped in front of me and was like, hi, I'm Anthony.

00:24:40.380 And you ruined the whole thing.

00:24:41.660 It was horrible.

00:24:42.120 I was having a nice time with Jon Stewart, and you had to interject.

00:24:46.200 Oh, see?

00:24:46.800 You had to.

00:24:47.260 Now, maybe I'll take that back that I intended to you.

00:24:50.700 But when he was repulsed by you, and he had a couple of those words that I can't say to say to your face,

00:24:59.820 but you as a complete gentleman, you kept your calm and said,

00:25:02.460 hey, listen, we're in this business.

00:25:04.880 It's called show business.

00:25:06.360 Why don't you just take a break?

00:25:07.700 I really like you.

00:25:08.840 That's what you said.

00:25:09.760 I would really like to just figure this out.

00:25:11.940 And then all of a sudden, two of his big friends from Goons stood up.

00:25:18.020 It was about to be a three-on-one.

00:25:21.060 The only goon I had was you, Steve.

00:25:22.920 Yo, that's all you need, brother.

00:25:24.400 You were my only goon.

00:25:25.900 Yeah, you want me at your back.

00:25:27.400 Trust me.

00:25:28.760 And I said, yo, I get a one-on-one, not a three-on-one.

00:25:32.320 I'm going to have to stand here and get my boys back.

00:25:35.040 And that's what I did.

00:25:35.740 You did.

00:25:36.200 You stood up.

00:25:37.080 I appreciate that.

00:25:38.600 It got me barred from the comedy cellar for a little while.

00:25:43.080 I was then allowed to come back.

00:25:45.700 And after that, I had some words with Bill Burr and Clemson to Kenny, who does Bill's security.

00:25:52.120 Yeah, that was back with dice.

00:25:54.140 Then I was summarily thrown out of the Comedy Cellar again.

00:25:57.980 And then I came back to talk to Noam, the owner, and he said, maybe you should take a little sabbatical, a little hiatus from the Comedy Cellar.

00:26:06.360 I like the fact that you like to throw rocks at the beehive.

00:26:09.940 That's your best quality, I think.

00:26:12.540 They're hypocrites, dude.

00:26:14.100 They're all hypocrites.

00:26:16.100 I love that Bill Burr is going down hard right now.

00:26:19.320 Hard.

00:26:19.640 I have read nothing but horrible things about his special, about him.

00:26:24.160 Like, people aren't looking at him like that cutting-edge Boston comic anymore.

00:26:27.900 They're going, oh, this is a Disney Star Wars guy that's all of a sudden woke.

00:26:32.520 Oh, yeah.

00:26:33.100 And they're not saying nice things about him.

00:26:35.140 He took the red pill, definitely.

00:26:37.100 Well, the blue pill.

00:26:38.540 Oh, is it the blue pill?

00:26:39.480 Yeah, the red pill.

00:26:39.900 I don't need the blue pill.

00:26:41.380 I'll take the red pill.

00:26:41.980 I am black pill, dude.

00:26:42.940 I've taken the everything sucks black pill.

00:26:45.960 I'm done.

00:26:46.740 I'm done with everything.

00:26:48.140 But speaking of hypocrisy, I want to talk to you about Howard and this book, Gorilla Parts.

00:26:54.200 First of all, why the huge delay in leaving the Stern show, which it was 98, right?

00:27:02.320 Yeah.

00:27:03.020 Yeah.

00:27:03.300 Yeah.

00:27:03.940 And now putting the book out.

00:27:06.520 Like, why?

00:27:07.280 Well, here's the deal.

00:27:08.060 I got stories up the Wazoo, ABC Radio.

00:27:13.020 Hi, Aunt Doreen.

00:27:14.040 My Aunt Doreen, she's blind.

00:27:15.780 This is our TV right now, so she loves you.

00:27:17.560 God bless.

00:27:18.200 Aunt Doreen, we love you.

00:27:19.600 I just have stories up the butt, you know, and I'm always out telling stories,

00:27:26.060 and everybody's like, oh, this is such great stories.

00:27:28.340 And I had one friend, Russ Brinelli, who owned the restaurant, Brinelli's.

00:27:32.400 It was on York Avenue, and he would not stop for years.

00:27:36.980 you're crazy write a book you're crazy

00:27:39.280 write a book what's wrong with you write a book

00:27:40.820 that's great so write a book and I'm like oh shut

00:27:43.260 up nobody cares about anything I have to say

00:27:45.360 give me a break

00:27:46.300 and then I met

00:27:49.020 my co-writer who's right next to me right now

00:27:51.160 with his son in the studio Merrick

00:27:52.560 Jason he we met

00:27:55.080 through a mutual friend Ron Barber and just

00:27:57.120 happened to be at a lunch together and

00:27:58.600 I told a couple of stories he was like those

00:28:00.760 are great and my friend Ron goes

00:28:02.780 Jason why don't you write the book

00:28:05.120 with Steve and I went

00:28:06.980 And Jason goes, okay.

00:28:08.440 We met for lunch.

00:28:10.160 45 minutes later, we had 13 pages, and now we got a full book.

00:28:13.720 See how that happens?

00:28:15.160 But I was a little curious as to why you didn't decide to do it sooner.

00:28:20.500 Because it had anything to do with, you know.

00:28:22.280 Because I didn't have Jason Husa in my life.

00:28:24.980 That's why.

00:28:25.640 You know what I'm saying?

00:28:26.820 Because I can tell the stories.

00:28:28.120 I can't write the stories.

00:28:29.200 How about that?

00:28:29.500 I know this, Steve.

00:28:30.860 Sometimes you'll have so many stories, but then you go, ugh.

00:28:36.980 I don't want to ruin stuff with this guy or that guy or with the business itself.

00:28:42.120 I'm sure my family hates me.

00:28:43.660 My friends hate me.

00:28:44.800 Did you have any reservations that doing a tell-all book

00:28:47.380 was going to get you barred from some things you might want to do for a career?

00:28:52.640 Well, I think I burnt that bridge a long time ago,

00:28:55.500 but I think I totally burnt it this week in the Post.

00:28:59.000 God bless Michael Kaplan in the New York Post.

00:29:01.380 Word up.

00:29:01.840 That was a good article, guys.

00:29:02.880 Thank you.

00:29:03.620 That was a good one.

00:29:04.580 Yeah, I read that one.

00:29:05.560 Very, very nice.

00:29:06.420 I just picture Howard sitting in his basement, steaming, like, and he's not going to do anything about it.

00:29:11.600 No, no, not at this point.

00:29:13.900 It's not the Howard of old.

00:29:15.580 You talk about hypocrisy and stuff.

00:29:17.700 The bigot was, was he always, even back in 91, 92, 93, was he always just enamored with Hollywood and wanting to get into it?

00:29:28.840 And because you saw him when he wasn't on the air.

00:29:31.120 Did he have that attitude?

00:29:32.320 Like, God, I just want to be part of the group, the gang.

00:29:35.960 I think he was just really happy doing what he was doing.

00:29:38.520 I got to be honest.

00:29:39.260 Like, he didn't give a flying, you know.

00:29:41.500 I think he was just happy actually turning what his dream is into a reality,

00:29:47.700 which he did.

00:29:48.700 You know what I'm saying?

00:29:49.340 He knew he had something different,

00:29:51.020 and I just happened to jump on when he was actually developing it to its perfection.

00:29:56.660 You understand?

00:29:57.240 It was like at the pinnacle of his genius, I was there.

00:30:00.460 And I think he was just happy doing what he was doing.

00:30:02.620 I think it's what he dreamed, like little Howie playing with the marionettes and stuff like that.

00:30:07.860 His puppet.

00:30:08.440 Yeah, his puppets.

00:30:10.680 God, I bet they were sticky as hell.

00:30:14.160 Disgusting.

00:30:15.320 Disgusting.

00:30:15.980 Sorry.

00:30:16.620 I didn't say a bad word.

00:30:17.720 No, you didn't.

00:30:18.420 That's good.

00:30:18.980 You're doing good.

00:30:19.700 You're doing good.

00:30:20.420 I'm so proud of myself right now.

00:30:24.040 So I think he was just relishing in what he finally created, and it's working.

00:30:30.260 And he didn't care.

00:30:32.640 But the celebrities wind up like, you know, the Coyones or whatever you want to call them.

00:30:39.260 Can I say balls?

00:30:40.380 Is that okay?

00:30:41.160 That's okay.

00:30:42.260 Thank you.

00:30:43.620 If Sid Rosenberg says it on the morning show, I'm going to say it.

00:30:47.400 Apparently, Sid was talking about me on the morning show the other day, and I don't even know who he was.

00:30:51.920 What?

00:30:52.200 Aunt Doreen told me Sid Rosenberg was talking about you with Bo Deedle.

00:30:56.920 He's the new king of the Jews.

00:30:59.740 He is like, I swear to you, the most important Jewish guy in Manhattan and Israel right now.

00:31:06.660 I don't understand why people would even bother messing with the Jews.

00:31:10.180 You don't mess with the Jews.

00:31:11.400 I'm sorry.

00:31:11.880 Don't mess with Sid.

00:31:12.600 You don't mess with Jews.

00:31:13.400 He's like the army.

00:31:14.560 He's like the Mossad these days.

00:31:15.960 They'll come after your bank account somewhere or another.

00:31:18.320 See, now you're spreading stereotypes and tropes that are going to get me in trouble with the Jerusalem Times.

00:31:24.260 Yo, the Jews are my people, man.

00:31:26.600 Of course.

00:31:26.920 I played a Jew on stage.

00:31:30.760 I'm an honorary Jew.

00:31:31.940 I can say what I want.

00:31:33.680 Steve, another thing about your book and Stern and everything.

00:31:37.820 When I was listening to Howard Stern back on those days when you were there,

00:31:43.040 those years that you were there, I was in construction.

00:31:45.220 Yeah, I was a tin knocker.

00:31:46.980 A knocker.

00:31:47.500 And I was your what they call P1 listener.

00:31:51.340 From beginning to end, every single day I listened to the show.

00:31:54.900 And here's what me and a lot of other guys that were doing construction on Long Island and New York and many other places thought when we listened to the Howard Stern show.

00:32:04.460 My God, would I love any, any gig with that radio show.

00:32:10.680 Yeah.

00:32:10.820 So when you put a book out like this, you're going to get people, Steve, that go, this ingrate, this piece of garbage.

00:32:19.500 Oh, yeah.

00:32:20.080 We would have killed to be in that position.

00:32:23.340 and Steve was there.

00:32:25.100 He had a great time.

00:32:25.960 He probably got everything through the show, girls, some cash,

00:32:30.560 even though I know it was a very – you weren't getting paid for the internship.

00:32:34.840 Yeah, I made a friend, though.

00:32:36.700 Oh, no, I know you did.

00:32:37.980 But the fact that I wasn't getting paid isn't right, but yes.

00:32:41.180 Steve, how do you address the people that would say, like,

00:32:44.940 this guy had the dream job of the 90s.

00:32:47.640 Every guy wanted that gig, and now you're kind of poo-pooing on it.

00:32:52.000 How do you address that?

00:32:53.340 Yeah, I found that what you just said, like, the hard way this week.

00:32:58.000 I definitely felt that from people.

00:33:00.820 But, you know, the more I think about it, the more I don't care what they think

00:33:05.200 because you want to know why.

00:33:06.300 What he did was just wrong.

00:33:08.860 There's no two ways about it.

00:33:10.200 He was making, like, $2 million a week, and he made sure that I didn't get paid.

00:33:17.320 And I can't, you know, like, I was happy to be there,

00:33:20.880 and it was the most amazing time of my life.

00:33:22.660 But when I look back at it now, it's like, how could you do that?

00:33:27.700 You knew I had no money.

00:33:30.020 You knew that.

00:33:31.580 And I would have taken a bullet for you.

00:33:34.280 And I almost did.

00:33:35.700 And you still didn't have the grace to even think, pay this kid?

00:33:41.840 How about make sure I have health insurance?

00:33:45.840 Steve, here's what happens, though, as far as the money part goes.

00:33:48.540 A lot of people have this misconception about radio and about the Stern show, especially back then, that what you work from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.

00:33:58.660 More than that.

00:33:59.840 No, I know.

00:34:00.740 But this is what people think.

00:34:01.840 Yeah.

00:34:02.080 And then you have time.

00:34:03.080 You could get another job where it supports you and gets you a place to live and food and everything.

00:34:08.400 They don't understand that that was a full over a full time job.

00:34:12.160 If you added that up, otherwise, you definitely went into overtime.

00:34:15.940 You were going to his house, working with him on organizing archives, on his books, all this stuff.

00:34:22.780 So people just saw that four hours or five hours.

00:34:26.180 My last two years, I was literally handcuffed to a copy machine.

00:34:31.500 He subscribed to a company called Lucy's, L-U-C-E, where any article in the entire country, this is before the Internet.

00:34:43.700 Wow.

00:34:45.100 Yeah, I know what you're going to say.

00:34:46.620 Every week a box would come full of articles, full of articles.

00:34:51.900 And I had to be copied, okay?

00:34:54.300 And it wasn't just like you took a photocopy.

00:34:56.420 There was a system, okay?

00:34:58.480 It was a copy for Howard, a copy for Gary, a copy for Tom Chiasano,

00:35:02.380 a copy for Howard's assistant.

00:35:05.160 And then I had to put the special archive paper in, okay?

00:35:10.860 What the hell is that?

00:35:11.920 This sounds like an obsessive, compulsive person doing nonsense jobs.

00:35:19.280 Nonsense.

00:35:20.780 The archive paper.

00:35:22.100 So that means you did four copies and you had to stop, pull the tray out, put a piece of archive paper in.

00:35:27.180 Because archive paper doesn't yellow.

00:35:30.160 What does he think?

00:35:31.020 In a thousand years, someone's going to be crying a vault open and go, who was this stern man?

00:35:37.800 If I get cancer, I'm suing him.

00:35:41.720 because I guarantee you there's something wrong

00:35:42.980 with that archive paper, man.

00:35:44.080 Probably, or the ink from the printer or something.

00:35:46.320 Yeah.

00:35:46.920 Yeah.

00:35:47.560 So I was chained.

00:35:49.120 So basically, when I walked him down

00:35:50.400 and brought him to the limo, I had to go back up.

00:35:52.420 And I was chained to a copy machine

00:35:54.280 for two or three hours a day, every day, five days a week.

00:35:58.000 And by the way, you're also taking insane amounts of abuse

00:36:03.420 on the air, which by the way, again,

00:36:05.740 now a lot of guys that listen to that show,

00:36:09.120 just like me, we're working slobs,

00:36:11.720 we would go yeah goof on me i don't care you think so i don't care about you think so and then you

00:36:17.240 get there and it's another story you know what i'm saying i always thought i remember listening

00:36:20.760 to like john organji on the air and i'm like those guys are punks if i was there you know what i would

00:36:25.220 say and the first time i got on there i was like i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm ed norton yeah yeah a

00:36:30.480 hundred percent and i uh i was like uh i should never judge a book again like that because when

00:36:36.660 you're in the lines then it is something else you just don't understand unless you're there

00:36:40.480 and I was a young scared kid

00:36:42.820 I was like 19 years old

00:36:44.060 I guess that's it look we're gonna

00:36:46.840 take a quick break we'll come back

00:36:48.880 we'll take some calls we'll talk to you

00:36:50.800 a little more about the good part

00:36:52.600 I'm so happy to be here you have no idea thank you

00:36:54.800 so much Grillo I'm so

00:36:56.680 glad you were the first one to curse on my

00:36:58.780 show we'll be right

00:37:00.660 back but Steve Grillo his book

00:37:02.420 Gorilla Parts available now

00:37:04.060 we'll be right back

00:37:05.380 oh yeah

00:37:08.140 Anthony Cumia show we're back with Steve Grillo of course a former intern former gunga din

00:37:16.840 former assistant to Howard Stern uh a lot of of craziness that went on back in the 90s the golden

00:37:25.080 age of the Stern show is what everyone calls it uh Steve I I want to know because everyone's told

00:37:31.480 a crazy story from the Howard Stern show what happened this that something that maybe hasn't

00:37:37.800 been publicized wasn't in the book wasn't uh broadcast live on air what did you see something

00:37:43.320 you see you saw you were involved with uh that you just look back on and go oh my god that was

00:37:49.000 insane i i will tell you one thing that i always found weird uh and you know i it was that how

00:37:55.980 would i cheat and i would cheat that as far as i know like as loyal as he says he was to allison

00:38:02.080 I kind of believed it, but there was one thing that made me go, what?

00:38:07.720 It was when he was filming private parts, and we were shooting out at, what's it called,

00:38:15.080 was it Steiner, not Steiner Studios, Silver Cup Studios.

00:38:18.060 Silver Cup, yeah.

00:38:19.280 And Silver Cup, they made an apartment for him upstairs, so if he, like, you know, we

00:38:25.340 did the radio show until 11 or whatever, and then we did, it was a modified union thing.

00:38:31.900 It was a 10-hour day, straight, 10 hours a day, straight.

00:38:36.000 And you didn't break, but they gave you food all day.

00:38:39.980 And then after 10 hours, sometimes Howard could go back home to Allison

00:38:44.280 or he stayed at the apartment upstairs.

00:38:46.140 Who, Robin?

00:38:46.920 Right, so now Allison, his first wife, Allison.

00:38:50.820 Allison.

00:38:51.560 So, again, this is just something I observed.

00:38:54.000 I can't confirm or deny any of this.

00:38:56.800 But do you know that he had a PA stay overnight if he decided to stay at the apartment?

00:39:02.200 Personal assistant for people out of this.

00:39:04.020 No, it was more like a production assistant.

00:39:06.200 But they had someone there just in case he needed something throughout the night.

00:39:09.200 And that intern happened to be Eli Roth.

00:39:12.720 And he was writing Cabin Fever at the time.

00:39:16.120 And if anybody doesn't know, you look up Eli Roth, he's one of the biggest directors that are out there these days.

00:39:19.540 Oh, yeah, yeah, the Bear Jew.

00:39:20.740 The Bear Jew, exactly.

00:39:22.080 Here we go with the Jews.

00:39:22.800 Anyway, Eli Roth was his overnight PA

00:39:27.380 And that's the only time I saw him

00:39:28.640 Because I dropped Howard off

00:39:29.660 I picked him up

00:39:30.300 Are you saying Howard had gay sex with Eli Roth?

00:39:33.800 Oh my god, Steve

00:39:35.260 This is crazy

00:39:36.900 Front page news, baby

00:39:38.700 I told you I'd deliver

00:39:39.980 This is insane

00:39:41.920 What an accusation

00:39:43.120 It's going to get interesting

00:39:45.120 So Howard didn't have any contact

00:39:49.980 Once he was in the apartment, that was it

00:39:52.260 And at the wrap party, Eli Roth and Mary McCormick had a really bizarre, close relationship.

00:39:59.980 And I was like, hmm, how does Eli know Mary McCormick?

00:40:05.980 She must have been up at the fucking apartment.

00:40:08.520 Oh, easy with the language.

00:40:10.700 I didn't say the whole word.

00:40:11.560 Oh, Grillo is a feisty one.

00:40:13.360 Yeah, I'm feisty right now.

00:40:14.600 I'm so hot tonight.

00:40:16.440 No, Mary must have been up at the apartment.

00:40:20.580 So you think maybe a threesome happened?

00:40:22.420 I wouldn't say Eli was involved.

00:40:23.180 These are all speculations.

00:40:25.800 He wasn't involved in the whole mix, I don't think.

00:40:28.360 But it was just odd how, why does Eli know Mary so well?

00:40:32.100 I would think Howard would just sit on the chair like that chair in the hotel room

00:40:36.700 and just look at the bed and go, go get her, Eli.

00:40:39.660 Go get her.

00:40:40.640 Who, who, who, who, who, who, who?

00:40:43.660 I didn't understand how they were, like, so close.

00:40:48.940 And it made me go, hmm, Mary must have been up at the apartment.

00:40:53.520 All right.

00:40:54.420 That's interesting.

00:40:56.380 Yeah.

00:40:56.740 So that's an interesting story.

00:40:58.420 Come on.

00:40:58.860 But you were there.

00:41:00.300 You were in studio for a lot of the just insanity, the girls, all that stuff.

00:41:06.680 Yeah.

00:41:06.840 And were you ever able to close a deal on one of those who is the?

00:41:11.840 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:41:12.700 There's always a story.

00:41:13.840 There's that one girl that me and God rest his soul, Ralph, brought back to my apartment.

00:41:18.060 and I ran out of the room screaming,

00:41:20.420 I'll never have a threesome with another man ever.

00:41:23.300 Oh, did you try?

00:41:25.640 But was like, yeah, with Ralph?

00:41:27.700 Yeah, with Ralph.

00:41:28.980 And it's really hot, Shipper, that we brought back from Scores.

00:41:32.220 And I gave him my room for the night, and I slept in Ganji's bed.

00:41:37.380 With Ganji?

00:41:38.380 No, he wasn't there.

00:41:39.920 Oh, sorry.

00:41:42.000 Yeah, I literally, it just wasn't for me, man.

00:41:45.680 I just, yeah.

00:41:46.300 Well, anyway, they're telling us you got to go, Steve.

00:41:50.600 No, I have segments.

00:41:52.160 I have network stuff.

00:41:52.860 I know.

00:41:53.440 Let's take clothes.

00:41:54.520 Let's have fun.

00:41:55.100 Did I blow it?

00:41:56.220 I cursed too much.

00:41:57.460 You're wonderful.

00:42:03.440 Yeah, I don't know.

00:42:04.060 I'm so sorry.

00:42:05.040 I beat up Jon Stewart again.

00:42:05.880 Oh, that would be so much fun.

00:42:07.580 Don't worry about the cursing.

00:42:10.300 It's all good.

00:42:11.440 We'll be right back after this.

00:45:37.980 Get off my phone, the great Bob Grant.

00:45:41.840 It's all I could think about being on radio in New York

00:45:48.100 get off my, you swachim, I'll punch your nose down your throat.

00:46:05.180 you uh ma'am hi anthony i'm doing just fine um i had a comment on what you said about rosie

00:46:11.760 o'donnell i for one i'm very glad that she has gone to ireland uh has left the united states i

00:46:16.980 hope she never comes back i hope she stays there forever and actually i have a list of a few people

00:46:22.160 that i hope would join her either there or elsewhere in the world number one being share

00:46:26.480 and number two being jimmy kimmel let him get the heck out of the country he never has anything good

00:46:32.520 to say about president trump or anything that's going on uh and you know i they all need to go

00:46:38.940 yeah nothing that happens they they have any compliments to uh trump believe me if if a

00:46:45.720 president was that bad look and i understand you could disagree with a lot of things the president

00:46:50.580 does but if he was as bad as they profess him to be the the country would be falling apart

00:46:56.960 like where you could really see it not how they say it's terrible everybody's uh uh broke and

00:47:04.440 he's taking away uh social security and none of that's happening elon and trump are trying to

00:47:11.720 find out where the corruption is where the money where our taxpayer money went and uh they're all

00:47:18.500 dummies a lot of these people that um decided they're leaving like rosie uh richard gear

00:47:25.220 decided he him and his wife what a what a beard that is uh they're going to spain where i hope

00:47:32.900 the gerbil population goes into hiding i don't even know how that rumor got started it was before

00:47:38.420 the internet you know the whole richard gear thing jacqueline you ever hear about that no i

00:47:42.520 didn't this is the first time i'm hearing this how old a gal are you and this isn't trying to

00:47:46.560 you know insult you in any way i just want to know because the richard gear reference is really

00:47:51.540 really old well it's funny you should mention him because i watched uh that movie arbitrage with him

00:47:57.540 just last night um i'm going into my sixth decade so i'm no kid but i just don't remember hearing

00:48:05.260 that how the hell do you not know did you ever work in an office where those faxes went around

00:48:10.160 and people would hang them up, the funny little comics?

00:48:12.040 No, no, I didn't.

00:48:13.500 Okay, because it turns out Richard Gere,

00:48:16.820 there was a rumor going around that Richard Gere

00:48:20.280 liked to do things with gerbils,

00:48:24.760 and they would go up what was called the flesh habit trail.

00:48:30.300 I've heard about that in certain circles, yeah.

00:48:33.640 The running wheel might as well have been a prostate,

00:48:38.080 if you're getting what I'm saying.

00:48:40.160 That's what yes. That's what the rumor has been. And it went around before anyone ever had the Internet and the ability to really put stuff out there like that.

00:48:52.700 But that's Richard Gere. And then who else? Who else is leaving? Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

00:49:01.780 Good. Goodbye. Good riddance. Goodbye. Goodbye. You know, it's weird.

00:49:06.620 Why don't they ever go to, I don't know, the Sudan, Somalia, the Congo, South Africa?

00:49:14.820 Why do they always leave America and go to these places where they're living on a huge farm, have mansions like they had here in America?

00:49:24.880 Because, by the way, Donald Trump, their reason is Donald Trump's so awful.

00:49:29.320 he's trying to get third world people out of this country but they aren't moving to these wonderful

00:49:35.920 third world nations i just don't understand it yeah well they want to be able to have their

00:49:41.520 agenda their liberal agenda and many of these countries where they're going to they promote

00:49:46.300 these liberal agendas and they can continue living in the lifestyle to which they are accustomed

00:49:51.220 without any judgment like in the middle east would impose on them great you got it i love it

00:49:57.240 Jacqueline, thank you so much for the call.

00:49:59.800 Be well, my dear.

00:50:02.780 Here's a Mike.

00:50:04.720 Mike.

00:50:05.860 Oh, did he drop?

00:50:07.400 Yeah.

00:50:07.900 I must have hit the wrong button.

00:50:09.340 I'm getting used to this, too.

00:50:11.240 I'm getting used to this, too.

00:50:12.540 Here's a Keith from Florida.

00:50:15.580 Keith?

00:50:16.840 Anthony.

00:50:17.880 How are you doing, man?

00:50:19.460 Thank you, my friend.

00:50:20.900 I'll be 56.

00:50:22.500 God bless.

00:50:23.000 And I got to admit, I was a stern guy.

00:50:25.580 We all were.

00:50:26.080 And O&A came out, and I was like, eh, it's for the younger generation.

00:50:32.260 I'm Gen X, obviously.

00:50:33.360 Yeah, we were just a couple of brash young kids, Keith.

00:50:36.980 Yeah, right, right.

00:50:38.560 But I got to tell you, I love the show, but when you had Steve on

00:50:43.280 and he dropped the F, I'm like, oh, no, oh, no.

00:50:48.120 The show's going to be off the air forever.

00:50:50.780 I'm like, no, Steve, it was like slow motion.

00:50:53.680 I'm like, Steve, what did you do?

00:50:56.080 I knew.

00:50:58.100 I knew.

00:50:58.780 You know, they took care of it back in the mix.

00:51:02.440 I can just picture a legal team running down the hall like, no, no, cut it.

00:51:06.840 Yeah.

00:51:07.640 But, Anthony, I got to tell you, I met Howard.

00:51:10.520 He came to McGuire.

00:51:11.640 I'm retired Air Force.

00:51:13.340 Oh, okay.

00:51:13.780 And he came to the base in 91 after Desert Storm, which I'm a veteran of.

00:51:18.900 Not a big deal.

00:51:19.980 Thank you for your service.

00:51:21.740 Oh, Anthony, come on.

00:51:23.740 Were you a Navy SEAL?

00:51:25.780 Were you a frog man in Vietnam?

00:51:28.400 Because I was.

00:51:29.780 I was a fighter.

00:51:31.580 I was a governor.

00:51:33.700 Jesse, listen.

00:51:34.880 We get it, Jesse.

00:51:36.620 Oh, I know.

00:51:37.340 Enough with the Navy SEALs.

00:51:39.300 Come on.

00:51:40.740 I mean, I don't even worry.

00:51:41.700 You would never know I was in the military.

00:51:45.920 All I have is a shadow box the size of a shoebox of my ribbons.

00:51:49.360 That's it.

00:51:50.900 But I want to share with you.

00:51:53.520 I met him, and he kissed my boots.

00:51:55.820 It's on the Channel 9 show, if you look up YouTube.

00:51:59.020 But, man, what a fraud.

00:52:02.160 Yeah, yeah.

00:52:03.760 He is a fraud.

00:52:05.360 There's a channel on YouTube, which I do watch you, by the way.

00:52:08.680 A little plug.

00:52:09.120 Thank you, sir.

00:52:10.660 But, oh, no, thank you.

00:52:12.440 And there's a channel on there, QF, and it's like they decipher the errors.

00:52:19.300 and it really breaks down like what was i listening to for 20 30 years and i'm thinking

00:52:25.440 this guy's the greatest and i'm like if it wasn't for jackie and um artie fred was there's no show

00:52:33.040 yeah artie yeah it was it was weird it almost feels like you were well you know what the truth

00:52:38.300 of matter is let's be real we were a lot younger then yeah a lot of the um material was shocking

00:52:45.500 and titillating and whatnot so um and we got older we grew out of it you know it kind of

00:52:52.080 that's what happens and and i was thinking about i was if steve was still on i was gonna say steve

00:52:57.200 you know it's funny when he did gunga den gunga den oh but now i look at it's like i cringe i'm

00:53:02.460 like that's not funny it's kind of like demeaning yeah well a lot of the stuff was demeaning but

00:53:08.420 it worked back then i'm never going to say it didn't work i listened all the time and a lot

00:53:13.200 of people did. Yes, sir. So did I. You know, it's just kind of hard to watch him in his

00:53:17.220 70s now trying to, you know, stay relevant.

00:53:22.240 It's a little sad. I got

00:53:25.240 serious because of him, and I canceled serious because of him.

00:53:29.440 Go figure. How did you do that? That's a tough chore to try to cancel

00:53:33.240 that. Boy, they stick on you like a leech. They try to keep you in there.

00:53:37.600 When I spoke to people from America and Canada, it was easy.

00:53:40.620 uh yeah well all right thanks keith from the great state of florida um thank you yeah well

00:53:47.860 moving back uh-oh uh-oh he was going to tell me where he's moving back to that would have been

00:53:52.400 oh just so compelling but we had to let him go i'll take one more before we uh

00:53:57.980 i got time let me see what you there no i don't i don't just just said time's up we'll be right

00:54:05.220 back after these words now fake news folks fake news it's the fake news fake stories news moment

00:54:14.980 fake news fake news uh yeah well pretty much everything is especially uh if you get it from

00:54:23.980 your mainstream media but uh the dems are are really trying to to fight back this is by the

00:54:33.400 way pathetic and hilarious when you say it because they're not really fighting back they're they're

00:54:39.100 they're a one play in their playbook team they get up there they do the same thing over and over again

00:54:46.500 they never never admit that perhaps their platform what they've been saying uh just aren't really

00:54:57.800 going over with the general public with the american people but they won't stop it they

00:55:03.280 won't apologize for anything and they honestly think that they are right they know the reality

00:55:10.200 of it is everyone loves them they love the democrats and uh their fake news poll numbers

00:55:18.920 always uh say that they're the most popular political party and uh somehow trump won

00:55:27.040 the the popular vote and uh the electoral college but somehow uh the democrats policies

00:55:36.140 poll in the 70 80 percentile which we know is just garbage it there's no way and they go out

00:55:46.400 there and they've been parading out all of these democrats and it's it's funny to watch

00:55:52.500 the best couple now is the bernie aoc thing like who saw that coming out of left field

00:55:59.880 they're trying anything so bernie and aoc get out there and they start uh talking to the people and

00:56:06.900 people start speculating is this the 2028 democrat ticket yeah another you know ancient

00:56:15.180 a guy that who knows how long before his mind gives out like biden and a woman of color we need

00:56:23.400 a woman of color so aoc so again they're just trying to do a rerun of the 2020 election

00:56:30.320 but uh this is great this is a great example of the the what the democrats are trying to do

00:56:37.280 tim walls i don't know what's with this guy all of a sudden out of nowhere he he's a a joke

00:56:44.340 flailing around on the stage as the vice presidential candidate

00:56:48.820 in the Harris-Walls campaign.

00:56:52.860 They lose miserably.

00:56:56.080 And he's all of a sudden, he's out and talking like people loved him.

00:57:01.840 He's out there trying to win over the people.

00:57:04.880 They don't like you.

00:57:07.480 You're not likable.

00:57:08.980 You don't have good ideas.

00:57:10.680 Your policies, whatever they were,

00:57:12.660 We didn't even really get to know what the policies of the Harris walls was.

00:57:19.180 And now he's getting out and talking like he knows.

00:57:22.620 And the American people, by the way, 100 percent behind him.

00:57:26.180 This is a joke. Listen to this clip.

00:57:28.700 And you tell me this isn't a complete bull.

00:57:32.580 With we already got a great start on this.

00:57:34.620 The vast majority of the American public.

00:57:36.280 Look, I'm going to just tell you this one.

00:57:37.540 This is my thinking on this as I'm trying to figure out soul search and get out of the wilderness.

00:57:41.360 that issues security issues like rights for all lgbtq issues like women's reproductive rights

00:57:50.040 issues like issues like smart gun reforms to not kill our children those things all those things

00:57:57.140 those or like free breakfast and lunch in minnesota

00:58:03.820 Republicans here in Minnesota, all those things and in D.C. Social Security.

00:58:12.260 Here's what we should recognize.

00:58:13.660 All those things I just listed, if you poll them amongst the general public, all of them poll above 70 percent.

00:58:20.340 All of them poll 70 percent.

00:58:21.260 So I would make the case to you that we who care about this, I don't care what you want to define us.

00:58:27.660 I believe that progress is a good thing.

00:58:31.000 So I'll take the progressive label because I think it's you're moving forward.

00:58:33.800 That's a good thing.

00:58:35.600 But we've won the hearts and minds.

00:58:40.600 He says he says 70 percent.

00:58:44.280 All of those Democrat talking points, they're just bullcrap points polled with the American people.

00:58:52.520 Seventy percent.

00:58:53.760 Do you honestly believe that these are the same polls that had Harris winning, beating Trump?

00:59:01.000 Winning all the swing states.

00:59:03.720 An amazing victory.

00:59:05.780 The same polls.

00:59:07.080 He gets up there.

00:59:08.520 And again, not changing a thing.

00:59:10.860 Not saying, hey, wow, we better start changing the way the Democratic Party is presenting themselves to the American people.

00:59:19.080 Because they do not like us.

00:59:20.860 And they really don't like what our policies were to the point where they elected, you know, what they see as a fuhrer.

00:59:27.700 It's crazy.

00:59:28.680 and what what does he do he gets back out on stage and just keeps repeating the same nonsense

00:59:37.160 that he was saying during uh their failed campaign and this is you know this is just

00:59:45.700 par for the course for these people they don't understand we don't want your policies we don't

00:59:54.540 want what you had to offer we're exposing you for the literal criminals that you are that's what

01:00:03.600 they've been doing for many many years stealing from the american people and then they lambast

01:00:09.280 the people that are trying to expose that and save the american taxpayer money like musk and trump

01:00:15.380 and they get up on stage and say no no 70 percent of the people love our policies do we i don't think

01:00:23.780 we do be right back anthony cumia welcome back anthony cumia show let's talk to sandra

01:00:31.800 from the great garden state of new jersey sandra what's up oh well first of all it's a pleasure to

01:00:38.880 have you on the air now every week of course it is thank you yes you're welcome and you were

01:00:46.780 talking about the democrats how they'll never own up to who they are we saw that well right we saw

01:00:52.760 that obviously at donald trump's last speech when he spoke about the little boy dj who had cancer

01:00:59.820 and how none of them stood up and for all the other reasons that so we saw that they are i don't

01:01:07.120 know what you want soulless and i don't think it's going to ever change and it's a sad sad

01:01:12.160 situation and now going forward the judges are becoming tainted activist activist judges that's

01:01:19.620 what it is activist judges and they sit there well we're doing it in a sense i'm just worried

01:01:27.760 in you know uh three and some odd years when we have another election that uh you know trump is

01:01:35.020 an anomaly this is uh i hope it's not just a speed bump on the road to ruin that we've been

01:01:40.900 on for quite a while and then it goes back to business as usual because it does not look like

01:01:45.460 these democrats ever ever want to actually look at what american people want address it and implement

01:01:51.140 it when they get into power like you said they wouldn't even stand for a kid that had cancer

01:01:56.260 because they hate their hatred of donald trump is so much that it transcends decency they're awful

01:02:04.280 people sandra yes they are i know i know and it saddens me to to see what's happening with elon

01:02:13.540 musk how cruel they are to his business brilliant man it just breaks my heart crucified it's it's

01:02:19.280 terrible yeah sandra thank you so much for the call i appreciate you anthony take kids alling

01:02:24.720 say kids alling as she goes um there's a few other things going on first i want to bring up again

01:02:30.880 the the the movie thing like i get annoyed with the recasting and things like that but uh every

01:02:36.760 so often something happens in the entertainment business that is just oh it's delicious and this

01:02:43.160 snow white disaster is great because people go why do you care about snow white i don't i wouldn't

01:02:52.080 i wouldn't have seen it if it was the greatest snow white movie ever made but it it it's a vibe

01:02:58.020 it it's a sense of stuff that's going on right now we're in a whole new world here where

01:03:06.160 it's not all about woke nonsense people with common sense have opened their eyes ears and

01:03:14.320 mouths and they're starting to say things and do things and when a movie comes out

01:03:19.920 that was supposed to be a kids movie this out of disney and they had to get their woke paws

01:03:29.300 all over it and you know snow white it literally says it's from some german uh literature uh and

01:03:39.580 it says like her skin is white as snow now you think what who cares it's 2025 we could diversify

01:03:47.200 the cast a little bit but it's so um insincere in its innocence because it's not an innocent gesture

01:03:55.420 to cast other people of other races in in these roles it's meant to upset people it's meant to

01:04:02.840 i don't know maybe change history hey maybe if other people weren't so upset when um someone

01:04:08.720 takes a role or say they they jump out and say that's cultural appropriation maybe then we would

01:04:14.560 sit back and go okay i see that but you know we see things like hamilton and we see other things

01:04:20.100 where traditionally they are white people cast in these roles

01:04:25.000 and, you know, yeah, minorities.

01:04:27.220 Again, I don't, I don't, I wouldn't care

01:04:28.740 if it wasn't such a problem

01:04:30.900 when a white girl decides to wear braids.

01:04:34.440 It's just, you know, it seems a little hypocritical.

01:04:37.520 But this movie is tahanking, just God.

01:04:43.260 And I love it because there's another one,

01:04:45.220 Alto Nights with Robert De Niro, that came out.

01:04:49.060 and people just can't stand de niro look the movie could be meh but if de niro was in it you'd

01:04:56.780 probably see it i think even rocky and bullwinkle made money and he was in that so god knows but

01:05:03.200 uh this one i play a dual role an exciting dual role uh and and it's just uh terrible and people

01:05:12.800 are they're they're not supporting donald trump anymore because he's a woke uh jackass who thinks

01:05:23.480 he knows everything and wants to tell us how to live our lives so i don't know um but this this

01:05:32.440 snow white thing's pretty pretty funny do you know initially they didn't even want to cast

01:05:37.380 uh dwarves they said no dwarves will be cast we're not casting actual people as dwarves

01:05:45.460 we're going to use just people one guy's tall one guy short one guy this was initially and

01:05:52.540 they had some uh tests and it did not go well people are like seven dwarves we want dwarves

01:05:58.740 so then they were talking about hiring uh dwarves and of course that doesn't wash these days

01:06:06.920 for what reason i have no idea i have i have no idea game of thrones did very well with a dwarf

01:06:14.140 character he was beloved and not looked at as a freak it was a great actor and it went very well

01:06:22.580 for him in the show but now you got uh uh they they had to put in cgi cartoony dwarves

01:06:31.040 why there's plenty of of people of short stature that would have liked that role i think

01:06:40.020 they call them midgets that's what they are i don't why did you why did you make computer

01:06:48.560 midgets i see these things everywhere they're walking the streets you hand them five bucks

01:06:55.200 They're in your movie.

01:06:57.060 It's a midget.

01:06:58.860 I can understand you need, what, a dinosaur?

01:07:02.280 You need a wolfman?

01:07:04.100 You use your computer.

01:07:06.820 Your FBI, you see, you put it in a computer.

01:07:10.720 Midgets, I see them all over.

01:07:14.280 Give me 20 bucks, I'll get seven of them over here.

01:07:17.800 Ten minutes.

01:07:19.260 Ten minutes.

01:07:20.800 They don't get it.

01:07:23.180 Midgets want to work.

01:07:25.200 Short people, people of short stature.

01:07:28.940 What do they call little people?

01:07:30.340 That's what it's called.

01:07:31.900 Little bit.

01:07:32.340 The little people, Jerry.

01:07:33.920 They call them little people.

01:07:35.680 I don't know.

01:07:36.720 It just seems more more racist than when they try not to be racist.

01:07:44.040 That's pretty much what happens.

01:07:48.240 Anyway, there's another story here that making the news.

01:07:52.660 and this is something that

01:07:54.740 it happens a lot

01:07:56.980 and

01:07:58.100 you really don't want to dwell on it

01:08:00.920 too much or defend the guy

01:08:02.860 too much because it seems like you're

01:08:04.580 misogynistic and you're not believing

01:08:06.600 a woman that claims she was

01:08:08.000 here it comes

01:08:08.960 sexually assaulted

01:08:12.340 so the guy

01:08:14.400 you know the guy from Impractical Jokers

01:08:16.440 Joe Gatto

01:08:17.360 no no no it's Joe Cato

01:08:20.260 not Joe Gatto

01:08:22.080 Joe Gatto he was accused of sexual assault not like improprieties or harassment or anything

01:08:30.780 this is sexual assault um and uh he's denying it but he did say he went through some some crazy

01:08:41.760 times it was a tiktoker juicy juicy i love the tiktok names uh mike uh michael hunt uh he she

01:08:55.220 claims in march 20th that she was sexually assaulted by the comedian 48 when she was 19

01:09:01.440 in 2023 oh boy and then he says i swear to you right now my phone is buzzing it's grillo trying

01:09:10.140 to call me does he not know i'm still doing a program oh boy uh he goes i used to uh poor

01:09:17.380 judgment and as a result have violated the trust of the people i love most because he's married

01:09:23.220 or he was in some kind of a separation maybe but uh he goes anyone that knows me at all knows full

01:09:28.680 well i would not assault anyone uh he goes he's working on himself i'm working on myself

01:09:34.920 It's an ongoing process, and I'm now going to take some time away from the public eye to focus my energies where I need to.

01:09:43.980 I've always loved that one.

01:09:46.280 That one's like rehab, you know?

01:09:48.980 That one's like, oh, they're going into rehab.

01:09:52.900 If you go into rehab because you got in trouble for something, and all of a sudden you realize now maybe I need to be rehabilitated, that's a hell of a coincidence.

01:10:03.820 usually people go to rehab when it's uh yeah if you're a big celebrity i guess certain things

01:10:11.480 can happen and you go oh boy i better go to rehab but most people hit a bottom they realize that

01:10:16.260 they go through rehab a couple of times and then um it works or it doesn't it's a lifelong struggle

01:10:22.680 whatever it is but uh people that go to rehab or get out of the public eye immediately after

01:10:30.060 a controversy pops up it's all garbage i know i had to do the same thing i had some legal issues

01:10:37.540 with a uh a young lady a few years ago back in 2015 i think it was and it was all garbage nonsense

01:10:46.780 um yeah it went through the legal system um and nothing amounted to it but i had to go to rehab

01:10:54.900 because it was hey we need you to go to rehab anthony i'm like i why i'm fine which everyone

01:11:03.340 that has to go to rehab says but i knew i was so my uh uh one of the guys i worked with keith the

01:11:10.700 cop he goes um i got a good line on a good rehab place from arty lang yes arty lang recommended

01:11:19.560 the rehab place i went to do you think it was a good rehab place or do you think it was a good

01:11:24.880 place to hang out with people. So, uh, yeah, I went, I went through all that stuff, but a month

01:11:31.620 later at the airport flying back home, I, I went to the bar and got a bud. Um, it's not something

01:11:39.080 you sincerely do when you're in trouble and it makes you look better rehab or, you know, I'm

01:11:45.900 leaving the public eye. I'm spending more time with my family, whatever it may be. But this guy,

01:11:51.020 Joe Gatto, he's in a bit of a jam.

01:11:56.460 He says this girl, Juzy, Juzy, shared screenshots of the pair alleged DM

01:12:03.700 exchanges on Instagram.

01:12:05.100 These girls, for God's sake, where Gatto allegedly told her that he was giving

01:12:09.060 her two meet-greet passes so she could come backstage.

01:12:13.800 A typical, typical gag.

01:12:17.540 She posted a photo of her and Gatto together.

01:12:21.020 Gatto split from his wife, Bessie, in 2001, or 2021, I'm sorry.

01:12:26.920 After eight years of marriage, due to some issues in my personal life,

01:12:30.800 I have stepped away, he said.

01:12:34.140 Where's the other part where he says he has proven with compassion,

01:12:40.740 forgiveness, and an open heart that we can do this together

01:12:44.160 with his significant other.

01:12:47.000 but these girls he he gave her a text and said uh come up to my hotel room and then she goes uh

01:12:57.400 that's where the sexual assault happened ladies ladies do i even have to say this is this something

01:13:05.100 that hasn't been said a thousand times if you are having a provocative exchange with text or

01:13:14.760 dms or anything with a guy and and it starts sounding a little sexual and they invite you

01:13:23.900 to their room or their house or their car wherever it is this white veal you could pound it and pound

01:13:31.540 it it'll never get tender uh yeah just watch casino and see what pesci did in his car so if

01:13:39.160 You step out to a car or an apartment, a house, a hotel room.

01:13:43.880 You are putting yourself in a situation that is going to be very difficult to justify

01:13:48.540 if you claim sexual assault or harassment or what have you.

01:13:53.920 I would never say it doesn't happen, but it certainly seems like something preventable

01:13:59.600 that you could not go.

01:14:03.240 What do you think the intentions are?

01:14:05.780 Can I really just put it straight to girls here?

01:14:08.480 if a guy invites you back to their room in a hotel when they're touring or doing something,

01:14:16.020 this guy's a comic, it's not to sit and chit chat about your latest hobbies

01:14:22.960 or to talk about your TikTok videos or what he can do for you because he's in show business in some way.

01:14:32.260 There's a definite presumption of some type of sexual activity going on there.

01:14:40.920 It's a goddamn hotel room.

01:14:43.720 What are you thinking?

01:14:46.300 And this happens so often.

01:14:48.360 And by the way, the girl will always, always get the benefit of the doubt.

01:14:52.920 And the guy will get in trouble.

01:14:54.880 You've seen these articles come out.

01:14:56.880 It's like, oh, the lady was drunk.

01:14:59.280 and when a girl is drunk she cannot possibly give consent to have sexual activities with the guy

01:15:05.780 and then they go well the guy was drunk too yeah he should have known better what

01:15:10.600 what how does that work how does that work the girl gets drunk she's the vulnerable vulnerable

01:15:16.720 victim the guy gets drunk he should know better this we only hear about you know equality and

01:15:25.380 glass ceilings being broken and women have a place in in any anywhere a man goes anything a man does

01:15:33.120 any little clubs he's involved in a man's go this seems like a boys club i gotta get my snout in

01:15:40.340 there and and ruin everything uh if you're doing that if you're going up to a man's room or to his

01:15:48.740 So many celebrities and sports guys have been a victim of this.

01:15:54.760 And like I said, I have to assume that in some circumstances, maybe the offer was put across to the lady to come up for something that had nothing to do with a physical relationship.

01:16:08.520 That is what that is to be just anomaly.

01:16:12.800 That is something that statistically is zero.

01:16:17.080 Women should know.

01:16:18.740 When a guy invites them up to their room, they expect, at least expect, to be able to make some moves.

01:16:26.440 It's not like sex is going to happen, girls, but at least be open to a guy trying to make it happen.

01:16:34.520 It's going to be charming.

01:16:36.000 Maybe he'll have some drinks up there for you.

01:16:38.240 Maybe.

01:16:39.920 Maybe some good conversation at first is making you laugh.

01:16:44.580 the opportunity to do that not just get up and the door gets shut and locked and uh an assault

01:16:51.440 happens i'm not saying that but uh these girls boy they better be a little more aware of uh what

01:16:58.480 the presumption is when they come up to these uh these rooms anyway that's my two cents we'll be

01:17:04.280 right back. Anthony Cumia show. Welcome back. Yes. You know, the Trump has decided to, as

01:17:18.280 the Democrats say, abolish the Department of Education. Not totally true. There are

01:17:24.160 still some parts of the Department of Education he's going to keep things that actually do

01:17:30.000 something you know they look at it and go what parts of this department are actually working

01:17:36.140 and doing something and then you keep that and then you throw away all the other garbage that

01:17:42.220 isn't working which is a large chunk of the department of education uh and then you'll hear

01:17:47.940 people uh on the left and celebrities and talk show hosts saying that uh oh that figures why

01:17:54.800 wouldn't you get rid of the department of education it's teaching our kids and it's got

01:17:59.020 Is it? Is it really? Because every statistic I've looked at from 1979, from its inception, the Department of Education, it wasn't always there.

01:18:12.480 There was plenty of time we went. The United States did not have a Department of Education and test scores were way up.

01:18:21.200 You had students coming out of the high schools that could actually read and write.

01:18:27.720 amazing do math what they weren't just pushed along they actually were learning things because

01:18:35.280 the curriculum was based on what the states thought was best for their students they weren't

01:18:41.700 beholden and locked to this uh federal nonsense that is the department of education

01:18:49.140 which has just turned into an indoctrination camp for kids going through a primary school

01:18:55.920 so uh yeah jimmy carter at the end of 79 like he's just ready to get thrown out of office

01:19:03.920 good old ron reagan well we should get rid of this nonsense but no no jimmy carter puts it in there

01:19:12.560 and then for some reason uh everyone kept it because it sounded bad it sounded bad for a

01:19:18.880 politician to go i want to get rid of the department of education and it was too soon

01:19:24.400 like it's not doing anything well you don't know give it five years you're going to love this

01:19:28.700 department of education and now we look and realize the united states has never had as low

01:19:36.360 test scores as we have right now we've never scored so low as far as the rest of the earth goes

01:19:43.800 with the students we're putting out of of our school system under this great department of

01:19:51.900 education but they won't fess up to it the democrats they'll just say look he's destroying

01:19:57.580 the department of education how are kids supposed to learn by actually being taught things that they

01:20:04.880 should be taught reading writing arithmetic as they used to say real history not the uh the uh

01:20:13.580 crap they're trying to sell everybody in public school these days so it's you know it's it's it's

01:20:19.480 a good thing i see it as a good thing well who doesn't liz warren she's got that point of view

01:20:26.760 from an idiot that just hears that the department of education they're cutting it and it must be

01:20:34.400 bad because it's educating people right it's right in the name it's the department of education it

01:20:39.880 must be educating people no it's a waste of money that is indoctrinating kids and and teaching them

01:20:46.800 nothing that they need once they leave um public school so here's liz warren talking about the uh

01:20:55.800 do e for every school teacher every public school librarian every administrator every school bus

01:21:05.200 driver everybody who helps educate our kids you need to know this is the moment we got to stick

01:21:12.200 together and we got to fight back. I don't care if you are a Democrat, a Republican, an independent,

01:21:18.520 a libertarian, a vegetarian. We need you in this fight. This is the fight for an America where it's

01:21:26.860 not just rich kids who get an education and have a chance to build something with their lives,

01:21:31.980 but that every kid in America gets the best education they can so they can build the best

01:21:38.920 lives but the only way that's going to happen is if we stay in this fight it is a fight we can win

01:21:44.520 oh shut up shut up just listen first of all that voice talk about education i remember uh nails

01:21:55.480 down a chalkboard in school that voice is the worst and then again not one acknowledgement that

01:22:03.060 our every aspect of of american children's education has gone downhill since the inception

01:22:12.120 of the department of education but they don't see they they can't acknowledge that they can't say

01:22:18.760 wow that's a problem ah oh liz warren we call you one who fell on head out of papoose she claims to

01:22:31.380 be an Indian. She claims to have the answers. She claims to know where cuts should be made and

01:22:39.900 shouldn't be. Why? Why are you cutting that? We would do that humanitarian. We would do it with

01:22:46.760 more humanitarianism. We would you had all these years in power. They did nothing. They've done

01:22:54.440 nothing so uh adios ah face like pile up to tonka crap uh anyway thank you everybody thanks for
