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.

00:01:54.460 In case you didn't know, my guest this evening is Jim Norton.

00:02:00.760 Jimmy, hi, how are you?

00:02:02.300 Oh, I'm good. 0.79

00:02:03.180 I've been doing so good not eating bad, and I come here and I just start fat pig snacking

00:02:07.520 on the peanut M&M's and all the treats.

00:02:10.340 Oh, I bet it's just here.

00:02:11.860 Oh, I've been here.

00:02:12.780 Don't get me started. 1.00

00:02:15.680 What a little woman you are as far as your little diet goes. 1.00

00:02:19.380 I know. 1.00

00:02:19.620 A little woman with a fat stomach. 1.00

00:02:21.740 A little lady with a fat belly. 1.00

00:02:23.440 Why don't you do Ozempic? 1.00

00:02:25.260 I hear that's a big thing for celebs these days.

00:02:28.640 Because I know how to lose weight.

00:02:30.300 I know what to do, just not what I'm doing right there.

00:02:32.820 And Ozempic does weird stuff to you.

00:02:34.560 You knew what to do years ago to lose weight.

00:02:36.480 Yes, I certainly did.

00:02:38.220 AIDS.

00:02:38.940 That's what I understood.

00:02:40.800 Well, the audience might not have.

00:02:42.300 They got it.

00:02:42.660 They probably got it.

00:02:43.380 Yeah, of course they do.

00:02:44.200 What else can I be doing that would help me lose weight?

00:02:46.420 I wasn't exercising, and I'm a fruit.

00:02:51.800 So, yeah, I just, oh, that bit scares me.

00:02:53.620 Because, like, isn't there something in there that, like, messes your teeth up?

00:02:56.960 It's everything.

00:02:57.640 It seems like your eyes, your teeth, your skin.

00:03:01.040 Like, I think Rosie O'Donnell is on it.

00:03:04.440 Yeah, she lost a lot of it.

00:03:05.220 And they show her in Ireland now because she ran away from Trump.

00:03:10.140 And she looks – but people – I can understand if you are – it's like supplemental to losing weight naturally.

00:03:19.560 Right.

00:03:19.880 And you use Ozempic, maybe.

00:03:21.420 I don't know.

00:03:21.920 I think if you're really trying physically and diet-wise.

00:03:26.140 But if you really are obese, which I think Rosie was, and you take Ozempic, it doesn't look good.

00:03:35.220 You just drop so much weight, you got that hanging skin and gaunt look.

00:03:40.500 You never want to be gaunt, do you?

00:03:42.440 And you want to lose it healthy, because then as soon as you stop taking it, you become a fatso again.

00:03:46.740 And that's what scares me.

00:03:48.180 How is Bob Kelly?

00:03:49.620 I mean, you know, I'm not even there.

00:03:52.860 He actually looks good these days.

00:03:54.440 He looks great.

00:03:55.060 He got the surgery, and he has been...

00:03:57.740 Lobotomy? 1.00

00:04:02.700 He is as dumb as they come. 1.00

00:04:05.220 But no, he got the surgery, and he's lost like a ton of weight, and he's keeping it off, which is good. 1.00

00:04:09.840 Yeah, that's the toughest thing, because you look at somebody like, what's his name, from Jersey, you know, the fat.

00:04:15.840 Chris Christie.

00:04:17.040 Christie, thank you, Jimmy.

00:04:18.760 Chris Christie had his stomach stapled.

00:04:22.280 He did, get your kitchen staples.

00:04:25.780 Rich, we get it.

00:04:28.060 He did that, and he's still obese.

00:04:32.280 Yeah.

00:04:32.460 Some people just can't continue and follow through with what they need to do when they have that surgery.

00:04:38.180 Which is exercise and eat.

00:04:39.500 You've got to eat right.

00:04:40.300 You can't be a big fat.

00:04:41.640 Wait, wait.

00:04:42.360 Are you saying they should go to the gym?

00:04:43.940 Eat better?

00:04:44.580 I mean, it really is.

00:04:46.040 I avoid those words in a row now because of the one time, you know, going to the gym, eating better.

00:04:52.020 Eating better.

00:04:52.960 Yeah.

00:04:53.300 Don't you know.

00:04:54.520 Always after me, lucky charms.

00:04:58.540 Ah, they bombed the building I was in.

00:05:00.740 Lucky I wasn't around. 1.00

00:05:02.460 Shin-fin-bon. 0.99

00:05:03.940 I remember the troubles.

00:05:07.120 Have a potato, would you? 0.99

00:05:09.540 I've got tiny genitals. 1.00

00:05:12.620 Potatoes, wait, they've got the eyes on you. 1.00

00:05:14.520 Hold on a second.

00:05:15.720 Don't slow me down.

00:05:17.240 Like the eyes?

00:05:18.680 Private eyes?

00:05:19.520 The potato eyes?

00:05:20.480 They're watching you.

00:05:21.440 No, no good.

00:05:22.580 No.

00:05:26.020 I really, I thought about bringing the wig tonight.

00:05:29.800 I just decided.

00:05:31.080 Why didn't you bring the beard?

00:05:33.680 I thought I'd bring a beard.

00:05:37.100 Yeah, that's true.

00:05:38.160 I mean, if I could have picked a more convincing beard.

00:05:42.120 Yeah, so, yeah, I just don't want to be fat anymore.

00:05:44.460 I got so mad.

00:05:45.520 I saw myself the last time.

00:05:46.840 The first time I was on here, I was sick.

00:05:49.580 I was coughing, and my voice was going, and I was bloated. 0.97

00:05:53.800 So that really motivated me, like, you pig, do something. 0.99

00:05:56.840 Do something, you pig. 0.99

00:05:58.060 People gave you a lot of credit on that appearance that you were sick and still came in like a good pal. 1.00

00:06:03.360 Of course.

00:06:03.900 I wanted this.

00:06:04.560 I was looking forward to this.

00:06:06.100 But I'm happy I feel better.

00:06:07.420 I got a special coming out in June, and so I'm going to go out and do promo for it. 0.97

00:06:12.520 And I'm like, I'm not going to show up on all these podcasts and just be a bloated, ugly pig. 0.97

00:06:16.460 Oh, yeah. 0.99

00:06:16.980 You want to look good. 0.99

00:06:18.220 People don't want to look at a bloated, ugly pig when they're watching a special. 0.99

00:06:22.940 No, they just don't. 0.99

00:06:23.780 It's unpleasant.

00:06:24.600 Where will it be available?

00:06:25.760 YouTube.

00:06:26.220 I'm just putting it on YouTube.

00:06:27.020 Oh, YouTube.

00:06:27.640 Yeah.

00:06:28.060 That's what everyone does now.

00:06:30.040 There's no reason to have some other entity grabbing, just in there with their hand, grabbing your money.

00:06:37.520 That's a great way to look at it, and I should spin it that way.

00:06:40.280 However, it was an utter lack of interest.

00:06:42.920 No, just stop it.

00:06:44.260 I didn't try to sell it.

00:06:45.980 I just couldn't go through that process again.

00:06:47.860 I'm like, no, people have been doing it here, so I would like my abysmal view count to really be visible so no one can be fooled anymore.

00:06:56.420 Don't even start with that nonsense.

00:06:59.320 You have a show that is on every, is it every week?

00:07:04.980 Every Wednesday we release an episode.

00:07:07.040 Every Wednesday you release an episode and everyone's enjoying the hell out of it.

00:07:11.520 Well, thank you.

00:07:12.240 I love it.

00:07:13.040 I watch it.

00:07:14.620 I saw your recent episode with Ryan.

00:07:18.360 Ryan Hamilton.

00:07:18.760 Ryan Hamilton.

00:07:20.940 And you guys hit on something that I just want to talk about.

00:07:26.000 As you get older, there's this weird misconception.

00:07:30.840 I don't even know if it's a misconception.

00:07:32.680 You just think this because you're younger, now you're older.

00:07:35.780 And you think that you're going to become another person once you get older.

00:07:41.300 Someone that will not care about things you care about now, maybe care about different things.

00:07:46.740 You're just not going to be the same person.

00:07:48.400 And he was talking about looking at his parents and thinking, well, when I get their age, will I still...

00:07:56.000 think like i do now and uh the unfortunate fact is we all do and that's a little frightening

00:08:03.560 because you kind of want to maybe have less enthusiasm for life as you approach the end of

00:08:11.160 it right and it doesn't happen no i hope that i i hope my parents i would hate to think of my dad

00:08:17.860 in his 80s still twiddling his nipples i mean that's just uncomfortable i hope that there's

00:08:22.900 You don't want to chip off the old block, are you?

00:08:25.680 But you do think that you're going to someday be sitting on this mountaintop of like,

00:08:29.580 like just calm and content.

00:08:32.920 Yeah, yeah.

00:08:33.260 And it never happened.

00:08:34.080 The contentment never comes.

00:08:35.280 There's always one more thing.

00:08:36.900 One more thing.

00:08:37.380 Do you think it's contentment?

00:08:38.740 You think you're just looking for something or you're just existing and wanting to continue to exist?

00:08:45.620 I think that I always thought I'd be content at one point.

00:08:48.860 Like I would always get to a point where like, okay, everything is where it should be.

00:08:52.900 And now I can just enjoy.

00:08:54.940 But it doesn't happen like that.

00:08:56.120 Things are always out of place.

00:08:57.260 There's always something falling through.

00:08:58.580 I got to get to that point.

00:08:59.820 You never get to the place.

00:09:01.340 And I think that's what kind of makes you creative.

00:09:02.880 You just keep going.

00:09:04.480 Yeah.

00:09:04.860 I know I'm talking to you like we've never met before.

00:09:06.580 You know, I think where I get my ideas from. 0.98

00:09:08.600 Shut up, Jim. 0.94

00:09:12.060 Joe Norton with us this evening. 0.99

00:09:14.200 What's your name?

00:09:14.980 but like growing up you you'd look at your parents like they knew something you didn't know

00:09:27.340 and they um they they didn't act like you did and the truth of the matter is they did

00:09:35.700 and they never stopped like i always had this impression that my parents no matter how

00:09:40.560 irresponsible i realized they were once i got older i had this impression that they knew something i

00:09:46.600 didn't know because i couldn't know it because i wasn't old enough yet and wise like they were

00:09:51.960 and then you realize no they were the same people they were probably at 18 for the most part and

00:09:59.760 i don't i don't really know much about what my parents were like at that age but looking at what

00:10:07.440 they were like older you could assume they were probably just the same so it's almost it's a

00:10:13.560 little frightening i think you always want to think you're going to get this wisdom that will

00:10:17.620 make you content with yeah getting older and and meeting you know facing the end uh but oh my god

00:10:26.280 we don't we just we just plow right into it the person we are no i i as far as facing the end i

00:10:33.460 I mean, I'm already booking a ticket for Sweden.

00:10:36.960 I can't wait to just sit in a capsule.

00:10:39.140 Look at my ticket counts.

00:10:40.260 You face your end at your wife. 0.57

00:10:42.460 Yes, I do.

00:10:43.540 Grab my toes.

00:10:45.240 You remember how Gunnery Sergeant Hartman would say that?

00:10:49.640 Wait, both of us drop it and grab our socks?

00:10:51.620 No, just you.

00:10:54.860 But yeah, your parents, my parents, they both had kids.

00:10:58.120 You don't have kids.

00:10:58.760 I don't have kids. 0.52

00:10:59.340 Right.

00:10:59.700 So there is something they probably had that we didn't like.

00:11:02.700 It does, I'm sure, settle you on some level that I just never want it to be settled.

00:11:07.660 I just don't want it.

00:11:08.280 It's a tough thing, man, because not having kids, you feel like you don't deserve to tell people what your ideas are about raising kids or how kids should, the environments they should be in.

00:11:26.040 Go ahead.

00:11:26.940 What are you going to say about me?

00:11:28.440 Honestly, nothing.

00:11:29.460 I was just thinking that I never.

00:11:31.400 Dating.

00:11:32.140 Oh, no, no, no.

00:11:34.260 Sure.

00:11:36.660 Crib marks.

00:11:39.020 No, I was like, oh, sure.

00:11:40.800 Yeah.

00:11:41.960 Hey, yoo-hoo.

00:11:44.500 No, I was thinking like, yeah, I don't ever think about how people raise their kids.

00:11:49.100 Unless they're being annoying, I never care.

00:11:52.160 Like, I have no connection to it.

00:11:53.560 Like, however they want to homeschool them, if they want to be religious with them, if they want to be liberal, I just don't care.

00:12:00.620 Yeah.

00:12:00.840 No connection to it.

00:12:02.320 There was a guy on the plane the other day, and he had a kid, and he was crying the whole 0.97

00:12:07.160 f***. 0.95

00:12:07.940 I would do if I had a kid. 0.99

00:12:08.700 Excuse me.

00:12:09.540 Dump that.

00:12:11.600 See what happens?

00:12:12.900 Yeah, I was driven to curse.

00:12:14.520 Did you curse?

00:12:15.120 Yeah.

00:12:15.780 I said the F word.

00:12:17.360 I didn't even hear it.

00:12:19.340 Yeah, isn't that something?

00:12:20.660 I think that's a first.

00:12:22.080 Wow.

00:12:22.340 First time I've done that here on this platform.

00:12:24.720 I heard there was a guy on the plane, and the kid, and there was crying.

00:12:28.640 I go, I wouldn't stop effing crying.

00:12:31.280 I didn't catch it.

00:12:32.120 Yeah, I did.

00:12:32.860 Oh, okay.

00:12:33.780 Interesting.

00:12:35.260 And he was embarrassed.

00:12:38.940 It was a young dad, and he was embarrassed, and he was like, he looked at me, and he goes, I'm sorry.

00:12:44.760 I'm sorry.

00:12:45.760 And I was like, no, that's, I didn't, and I did care.

00:12:49.500 Yeah.

00:12:49.880 Like, it bothered me. 0.99

00:12:51.080 I was, shut up. 0.98

00:12:52.440 Yeah. 0.91

00:12:53.200 But I was compelled to tell him, like, no, I don't care.

00:12:56.200 It's okay.

00:12:56.940 It's okay.

00:12:57.400 And I think we do that a lot, especially where kids are involved, because I don't know what that's like.

00:13:04.340 It's got to be horrible.

00:13:06.420 When I see a dad have to grab a kid and take him out of a restaurant, it's not even his kid.

00:13:12.300 Exactly, because the parents have gone to the bathroom, and he's just deciding it's a perfect opportunity.

00:13:18.760 Hey, the ring is one lad short.

00:13:20.640 it's just it just seems like something that is so intrusive to a night out and just having fun 0.96

00:13:27.800 you got to worry that you're bothering everyone in the restaurant and uh you got to drag a kid

00:13:33.840 out of there not being a parent like that um while i guess that's an asset uh there's the

00:13:40.460 other things where how many um how many dms and stuff do you get from people like you're gonna

00:13:46.800 You die alone.

00:13:49.060 You have no kids. 0.94

00:13:50.640 I get notes on the mirror from my wife.

00:13:54.980 Hopefully soon.

00:13:56.860 I did have an ex say that to me, too.

00:13:58.920 Are you kidding?

00:13:59.540 I was probably like, she was like 20.

00:14:01.500 I was 23 or something.

00:14:02.780 I was newly sober, and we were breaking up.

00:14:05.080 And she's like, you're going to die alone.

00:14:06.840 And I've remembered that for all those years.

00:14:09.000 Wow.

00:14:09.600 And she might be right.

00:14:10.740 I mean, who knows?

00:14:11.860 Is it one that you've kept tabs on?

00:14:13.540 Oh, yeah, we're still friends.

00:14:14.180 And how good she's doing?

00:14:15.180 Yeah, we're still friends.

00:14:16.100 Stop.

00:14:16.700 Yeah, we are.

00:14:17.200 I'm friends with every ex but one.

00:14:18.220 I know.

00:14:19.380 The fact that...

00:14:20.320 Is it the one I know?

00:14:22.480 No.

00:14:22.880 No.

00:14:23.640 No, you're just talking about like real girlfriends, not one night stands or anything.

00:14:27.240 Oh, yeah.

00:14:27.720 I mean like relationships.

00:14:29.020 Yeah.

00:14:29.120 A lot of one night stands I don't...

00:14:30.800 Yeah, you don't acknowledge that.

00:14:32.380 But you are good at keeping a relationship with exes.

00:14:37.320 Yeah.

00:14:37.840 Which I find insane.

00:14:40.380 I can't understand that.

00:14:42.140 Because I was the problem in most of the relationships.

00:14:45.800 Yeah?

00:14:47.340 Now?

00:14:48.560 All right.

00:14:49.480 Jimmy, I would love to continue this conversation.

00:14:52.460 And we will.

00:14:53.300 But we've got to get you out of here.

00:14:55.060 They're telling us to have to go.

00:14:57.800 No, in a matter of moments, we'll be back with the Anthony Cumia Show and Jim Norton.

00:15:03.840 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:15:11.560 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:15:13.860 Entertaining and informative.

00:15:15.580 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:15:18.800 The Anthony Cummings Show

00:15:20.500 on this wonderful Sunday evening, Memorial Day weekend.

00:15:24.940 I sure hope you're having a good time

00:15:27.280 with your friends and family.

00:15:30.420 When I was in New York,

00:15:32.200 when I lived here in this abominable state,

00:15:35.500 I apologize to everybody that still has to live here,

00:15:39.020 but Memorial Day was a huge thing.

00:15:40.760 I used to go out with Keith the cop on his boat,

00:15:42.720 Go down to Jones Beach and watch the air show, Blue Angels and stuff.

00:15:48.460 And it was really awesome.

00:15:52.180 And New York is kind of cool during Memorial Day because the Navy and Marines and everyone come in. 0.97

00:16:01.480 The prostitutes get some business. 0.92

00:16:05.280 But the ships are out there on the Hudson and military aircraft. 0.74

00:16:10.680 They put on a good show on Memorial Day, but it's the day-to-day walking down the street thing.

00:16:17.980 And again, people are just like, boomer, boomer.

00:16:21.300 I was complaining on social media, Jimmy, about the smell of weed everywhere now.

00:16:26.880 Oh, I thought it was going to be the statue that they put up in Times Square.

00:16:33.880 Well, I may go there tomorrow and take some pictures and see if I can reenact 2014.

00:16:40.680 uh no it it just seems i i don't mind weed being legal right right but it's like they legalized it

00:16:52.980 uh made it available to people and then just allowed it to be smoked everywhere and anywhere

00:16:59.100 and it's like look uh booze is legal but a lot of people there are some exceptions don't just

00:17:06.360 walk down the streets drinking yeah um and and the weed thing is just it just it's it's out of

00:17:14.220 hand i don't mind it like i don't love it but i don't i don't care that much because if i have

00:17:19.040 to smell weed walking through a cigarettes i'd probably prefer weed like it's just not as bad

00:17:23.020 of a smell yeah it doesn't matter what you prefer because it's new york i mean you're preferring it 0.89

00:17:27.340 over crap and yeah piss and the vestibules yeah and that homeless smell yeah i get that but it's 0.98

00:17:34.700 just one of those things where again you legalize something because for years how many times do we 0.98

00:17:41.060 hear why don't we just legalize weed the state can tax it make money and then they'll control it and

00:17:47.280 it won't be as crazy as when you know the the criminals are selling it to each other and it

00:17:53.280 just got worse it's absolutely worse because the the good part of the the government being in charge

00:18:01.340 of selling weed, which is ridiculous, is that they thought it would do away with the illegal

00:18:09.300 weed.

00:18:10.060 People still buy pot from their friends and die on the corner.

00:18:14.980 Or like these shops that are open that I guess are just kind of illegally operating.

00:18:19.600 Yeah.

00:18:20.100 Yeah. 0.80

00:18:20.380 They'll sell weed.

00:18:22.140 And now that it's been considered illegal, the problem is now they'll just smoke it anywhere

00:18:27.320 and everywhere.

00:18:28.140 Yeah.

00:18:28.640 And do other drugs.

00:18:29.780 You see people shooting up all the time and the subway stairwells and whatnot.

00:18:36.040 I don't know.

00:18:38.240 Again, I don't want to sound like I'm turning into that fuddy-duddy.

00:18:43.060 But I know this does, especially to younger people.

00:18:46.000 It sounds like I'm turning into a fuddy-duddy.

00:18:48.280 But, I mean, can we just have a little decorum on the streets of New York, Jimmy?

00:18:52.280 Yeah, why would a young person not want to hear this?

00:18:54.640 I mean, they're smoking their drugs everywhere I'm walking.

00:18:58.680 because all the young people listening to W.A.B.C. radio,

00:19:03.920 I really do.

00:19:06.280 That's my demo.

00:19:07.460 W.A.B.C. stands for Wow, A Boomer, and I can't say what the C is.

00:19:13.740 But, no, I don't care about them.

00:19:15.320 I know what you mean, though, and it is crazy how much you smell it,

00:19:18.640 but I still can't get used to, like, legalized pot stores.

00:19:21.440 Like, I'm still, I'm not bothered by it, but I'm amazed by it.

00:19:24.440 I'm walking down the street and I'm seeing a weed store operating.

00:19:27.320 I never thought in my life I would see that.

00:19:29.560 Yeah, I'm not all that pissed off about that, but the government being in charge of those

00:19:39.760 stores, do you see what Mayor Adams has done over the course of his tenure as mayor here

00:19:45.940 in New York City?

00:19:47.420 He's closed down the illegal stores, and then they crow about it like, look at this great

00:19:53.600 thing we're doing.

00:19:54.740 All they're doing, you know when the mob used to go out and blow up stores that wouldn't pay them?

00:20:00.820 Yeah.

00:20:01.380 What's the difference?

00:20:02.820 The difference is they're supposed to be taking all this tax money and then saving us money on it,

00:20:07.360 which we have not seen any savings, zero, except for the brand-new congestion pricing,

00:20:13.320 which has really worked out nicely.

00:20:15.200 So not only have they not saved us any money, they've added on another one.

00:20:18.580 Yeah, that's what annoys me.

00:20:19.700 It's like if you're going to make it legal, I don't care if people smoke it.

00:20:21.660 Smoke it all you want.

00:20:22.480 But then save me some money on taxes.

00:20:24.280 And they don't do that.

00:20:25.480 That was the lie that they were supposed to actually, it was supposed to come to fruition that they would tax and the money would go back to you.

00:20:36.280 You're making money. 0.70

00:20:38.180 The drug, the dirty drug addicts, marijuana addicts, they're the ones that are going to now pay your taxes.

00:20:48.600 And it never, ever works out that way.

00:20:52.120 By the way, do you know, I just thought of this.

00:20:53.420 Do you know why you weren't as, you were nice to that guy on the plane with the kid?

00:20:57.800 Why?

00:20:58.300 Because he apologized.

00:20:59.560 Sometimes that takes this, like the annoyance is there.

00:21:03.520 It really was.

00:21:04.680 But if somebody.

00:21:05.080 I felt bad for him at that point.

00:21:06.460 Yes, because he's like, hey, there's just an acknowledgement. 0.97

00:21:09.340 Like, hey, look, I know this sucks. 0.65

00:21:11.100 And then you're like empathetic. 0.96

00:21:12.500 Like, yeah, it does.

00:21:13.240 But he has to deal with it.

00:21:14.480 It's like if someone cuts you off and they give you the wave, you're not as.

00:21:17.200 Somebody apologizing.

00:21:18.580 But if somebody, the baby is just acting up.

00:21:21.840 Yeah.

00:21:22.100 And they don't.

00:21:23.940 Apologize.

00:21:24.500 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:24.800 I'll typically put on the last mash and show them there are solutions to this problem. 1.00

00:21:31.060 So shut that chicken up, piglet. 1.00

00:21:38.580 Shut your clucky chicken up. 1.00

00:21:40.460 I'm sick of it. 0.98

00:21:41.000 Yeah, if they apologize, I slowly take my finger off the trigger.

00:21:45.500 Yeah.

00:21:46.500 Or they'll go, hey, look, I'm really sorry.

00:21:48.800 And they'll go, do you need help?

00:21:49.800 And I'll go, no.

00:21:50.400 And they'll go, why are you clenching that pillow with both hands?

00:21:53.460 Leaning in.

00:21:54.620 When you're used to biting it.

00:21:58.640 That's very hurtful.

00:21:59.960 It is very hurtful.

00:22:01.540 But yeah, the apology is, I thought that's what it was.

00:22:04.060 Is the fact that the guy acknowledged you were annoyed.

00:22:06.240 Yeah.

00:22:06.540 Or that like, hey man, I know that this.

00:22:08.500 And I think all parents, they should just kind of give like, hey, sorry.

00:22:11.440 And then people would not be half as annoyed.

00:22:13.700 Yeah.

00:22:13.920 Just knowing that they know that they're ruining my experience.

00:22:17.120 I think they, yeah.

00:22:19.060 You know, you're a first class flyer, right?

00:22:21.200 Of course.

00:22:21.760 Yeah.

00:22:22.520 Of course.

00:22:22.980 And the fact that they've opened up first class to such just noisy children and people and, well, you know.

00:22:31.840 I just, I don't like that.

00:22:34.160 I want a nice fly.

00:22:35.580 I paid for it.

00:22:37.160 I mean, and I might not be handling this well, but there's been times where I've seen a little kid in first, and I'll say to the parent, look, you have the right to fly here.

00:22:45.340 But if that kid makes a sound, I'm going to bite it.

00:22:48.960 I'm going to bite your child on its shoulder. 1.00

00:22:51.100 Chew its little ear off. 1.00

00:22:52.380 I'm going to chew your kid's fingers off like a chimp. 1.00

00:22:58.120 We will absolutely, don't fret, be back. 1.00

00:23:01.960 Anthony Cumia Show.

00:23:03.600 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:23:10.600 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:23:16.400 It is indeed the Anthony Cumia Show this Sunday night, Memorial Day weekend.

00:23:21.020 And I certainly hope you're having a good time. 1.00

00:23:25.120 I saw, oh, God, what was stupid Hillary Clinton saying? 1.00

00:23:30.440 This is terrible. 1.00

00:23:31.960 I'll pop it up here so I can read it to the fine folks.

00:23:37.780 Yeah, Hillary Clinton puts out a tweet about what you should be doing on Memorial Day.

00:23:44.940 Now, obviously, Memorial Day is a remembrance of the great Americans that gave their lives for this country in the many wars and other nonsense that went on over the course of the years.

00:24:03.440 So Hillary had a great idea.

00:24:06.120 She said, I'm giving you a mission.

00:24:07.540 She's giving us a mission.

00:24:09.240 I think that's nice.

00:24:10.380 You think that's good that Hillary is giving us a mission?

00:24:13.120 Do you mean Billory?

00:24:14.940 Bill-ery.

00:24:16.360 Oh, that's good.

00:24:18.100 What about a hilly?

00:24:23.200 That's like... 0.98

00:24:24.480 No, hilly kind of works because it's Hillary. 0.89

00:24:27.600 Hilly.

00:24:28.620 But that's like the last half of Bill.

00:24:31.280 How about this Hinton?

00:24:33.720 Hill-yum.

00:24:36.880 All right.

00:24:38.520 You can tune out whenever you want, people.

00:24:40.720 And no one would blame you.

00:24:41.900 No one would blame you if you literally took the radio out of your car

00:24:44.340 and threw it into a ditch.

00:24:45.880 If you're driving right now, that abutment looks mighty tasty.

00:24:49.600 It sure does.

00:24:51.040 Yeah.

00:24:51.460 Have a snack.

00:24:52.160 Why don't you snack on that oak tree?

00:24:55.540 Why don't you have a little nibble of that tree?

00:25:00.140 Step on the gas and have a little bark-flavored snack.

00:25:04.940 No one will blame you.

00:25:07.920 Hillary says, I'm giving you a mission this Memorial Day weekend.

00:25:11.600 I want you to talk to two people, friends, neighbors, cookout attendees.

00:25:20.340 Imagine thinking people that go to a barbecue are cookout attendees.

00:25:25.260 Cookout attendees. 1.00

00:25:26.240 This is how this woman, maybe, thinks. 0.99

00:25:30.680 Cookout attendees.

00:25:34.640 About why Trump's proposed budget would be a disaster to American kids.

00:25:41.600 Can you imagine being at a cookout and, like, someone's having a beer and they're having fun and you walked over and went, Trump's budget, what's it going to mean for the kids?

00:25:50.900 Yeah.

00:25:51.460 Somebody would take that, like, what's the thing?

00:25:53.640 You flip the burger with a spatula and just touch your cheek with a nice hot spatula. 1.00

00:25:58.460 A penis? 1.00

00:26:00.600 You don't flip a burger with that. 1.00

00:26:02.360 You do.

00:26:04.100 No, I don't.

00:26:04.920 That's what I used when I wanted to quit smoking.

00:26:11.600 And she goes, I want you to talk to two people about Trump's budget.

00:26:18.780 Disaster for American kids.

00:26:20.160 We owe it to the next generation. 1.00

00:26:22.320 And here's her notes.

00:26:24.840 Oh, good.

00:26:25.460 Here's what she says you should say.

00:26:29.560 Like, hi, how are you doing?

00:26:31.220 The weather's great, isn't it?

00:26:32.980 How are the hot dogs?

00:26:34.220 Can I get you a beverage? 0.95

00:26:36.040 Drastically cut health care.

00:26:38.460 15 million Americans, including millions of children,

00:26:42.880 could lose access to Medicaid cuts and ACA marketplace changes. 0.99

00:26:48.900 That's what she wants you. 1.00

00:26:50.580 That's her mission to you.

00:26:53.120 I would say it, but I would do it with a different tone.

00:26:55.560 I would say, like, oh, the hot dogs are great,

00:26:57.580 and the kids are going to lose Medicaid.

00:26:59.720 I would say it like it was an upbeat, great thing.

00:27:02.120 Oh, see, she should have said that.

00:27:05.140 Spin it in a good way.

00:27:06.280 In a good way.

00:27:07.140 Hey, everybody.

00:27:08.880 Oh, my God.

00:27:09.920 We're going to have a live DJ tonight for Memorial Day.

00:27:16.420 Increased food security.

00:27:19.180 Nearly 11 million people, including 4 million kids, could lose SNAP food assistance.

00:27:26.120 What's SNAP food assistance? 1.00

00:27:27.600 It's an acronym for stupid. 1.00

00:27:31.820 All right. 1.00

00:27:34.520 All right.

00:27:35.520 I don't know what it's for.

00:27:36.820 They aren't people.

00:27:38.080 And I will not speculate here on this AM radio.

00:27:45.900 Make families poorer.

00:27:48.280 That's what Trump's going to do.

00:27:50.180 It would kick 4.5 million American kids off of child tax credit

00:27:54.380 and leave AI dangers unchecked.

00:28:01.840 The bill would freeze state level.

00:28:03.980 I don't know what it is.

00:28:05.400 It's not artificial intelligence.

00:28:07.620 No.

00:28:08.100 For 10 years, stripping states of their ability to protect kids from.

00:28:11.500 It doesn't matter. 0.99

00:28:13.200 What she's saying here is ruin, ruin your Memorial Day weekend party by fulfilling Hillary's mission, which is, you know, ruining the party. 0.97

00:28:27.220 Other barbecue, other cookout attendees. 0.97

00:28:30.980 Imagine someone springing that on you while you're trying to have a burger.

00:28:33.200 Oh.

00:28:33.680 You're having a nice soda, chatting with someone you haven't talked to in a while, and some political dud sits down.

00:28:39.780 Oh, Trump's plans. 1.00

00:28:42.800 Shut up. 1.00

00:28:44.060 Just shut up. 1.00

00:28:45.200 It just ruins the weekend. 0.99

00:28:47.160 You got a nice fresh burger, hot off the grill, a beer.

00:28:51.000 You walk up to a guy.

00:28:52.280 Maybe you haven't seen him in a couple.

00:28:53.580 You start talking about things that interest you.

00:28:59.340 And a woman walks over and just goes, childhood cancer. 0.99

00:29:05.760 That one's laughing, so nobody's supposed to.

00:29:08.820 It's obviously a funny topic, but, yeah.

00:29:13.360 By the way, I wouldn't want to hear any political stuff.

00:29:15.680 I don't care.

00:29:16.340 Nothing.

00:29:17.020 Either way.

00:29:18.120 I'm not interested.

00:29:18.960 It's a barbecue.

00:29:20.360 You're supposed to be having fun.

00:29:21.880 Only someone so out of touch.

00:29:24.640 Removed, yeah.

00:29:25.260 And elitist and removed and just not, she doesn't know what it's like to be a real person.

00:29:33.980 Just a friend at a barbecue.

00:29:35.320 Right.

00:29:36.180 Chatting.

00:29:37.100 Chatting.

00:29:37.640 And neither do I.

00:29:38.240 I have not been invited to any barbecues this year.

00:29:40.220 Oh, no.

00:29:40.660 I have no barbecue invitations, by the way.

00:29:42.240 That is not true.

00:29:43.360 So I'm in no position to call Old Cavs McGillicuddy a dud because I have not been invited to a barbecue.

00:29:51.500 Oh, I carry fridges up steps, Cavs.

00:29:54.140 Jesus. 1.00

00:29:54.620 She's a cavy woman, an offensive lineman. 1.00

00:29:57.920 She does have some fat calves on her. 1.00

00:30:00.160 She's the cankles kid. 1.00

00:30:01.980 She's a cankled ox. 1.00

00:30:04.780 That baking bread in the shoes thing is a great...

00:30:10.840 But I've not been invited anywhere, so I won't be in a barbecue.

00:30:14.720 I can't imagine.

00:30:15.420 I know Bob Kelly.

00:30:16.720 What is that, Thanksgiving you go over there?

00:30:18.480 Thanksgiving, sure.

00:30:19.360 Over Bob's house.

00:30:20.140 What about...

00:30:20.800 Seven months removed.

00:30:22.400 Oh, you told me he's in...

00:30:24.280 I think he's in New Hampshire, yeah.

00:30:26.480 He likes New Hampshire.

00:30:28.600 That whole little stick, the northern part.

00:30:34.680 Maine, Vermont.

00:30:35.960 Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire.

00:30:38.260 That whole thing should just be given to Canada for something we can use.

00:30:43.320 An extension on Montana, perhaps.

00:30:45.420 Or we'll take Toronto.

00:30:46.600 Toronto.

00:30:47.060 I would take Toronto.

00:30:48.240 Isn't that like all of Canada, quite frankly?

00:30:50.620 Well, it's all of, it's the best part of, or I'll take Vancouver.

00:30:53.940 It's the most populous.

00:30:54.940 It is the most populous.

00:30:56.300 Or even Montreal.

00:30:57.500 What are we getting, hockey players from there?

00:30:59.960 Vancouver?

00:31:00.980 Or is that Edmonton?

00:31:02.180 I think that's Edmonton.

00:31:03.680 I don't watch hockey.

00:31:05.900 Canada, I hate that Canada's a little mad at us,

00:31:09.980 but I'm mad at them for not realizing that their country has just gone down the crapper for years now under Trudeau,

00:31:19.140 and now they've got this new guy.

00:31:20.780 I know you're not very political, Jimmy.

00:31:22.820 I love Trudeau.

00:31:23.620 I think he was tough as nails.

00:31:25.720 He was tough. 1.00

00:31:26.600 And by that, I mean a lady's fingernails digging into the back of another man. 1.00

00:31:30.140 God only knows where those were going. 1.00

00:31:32.980 Yeah.

00:31:33.560 Hey, you're tough as nails, but they smell.

00:31:35.880 Oh, well. 0.93

00:31:36.800 Should worse them.

00:31:38.520 I know where they've been. 0.96

00:31:41.600 A few of those nails left in a body cavity. 0.60

00:31:46.680 Perhaps.

00:31:47.380 I don't know.

00:31:48.040 You know what I mean.

00:31:48.740 I sure do.

00:31:49.640 Of course.

00:31:50.480 Yeah, I get a little like, I don't like how uppity, I'll use the word uppity, Canada's getting in bashing us because of Trump.

00:32:01.220 Don't they have to realize that they wouldn't even be able to have a country if it wasn't for the United States?

00:32:09.280 I'm sure on some level they do.

00:32:11.140 But I mean, he didn't make it easier when he's going, we want to make him the 51st state.

00:32:15.520 I mean, that literally is obnoxious.

00:32:18.480 What do I want? Greenland, and I'd like you to be state number 51.

00:32:24.540 I mean, it is a bit antagonistic.

00:32:27.720 It's almost like if a big guy walks in, and you're sitting there with your girl,

00:32:31.120 and he goes, hey, get her in my lap.

00:32:33.400 I'd like to have her in my lap.

00:32:34.980 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:32:36.420 What do you mean?

00:32:37.680 It's like a guy in Goodfellas that you look at it going, oh, he's going to get beat up.

00:32:42.960 Yeah.

00:32:43.380 He shouldn't be saying this stuff.

00:32:44.640 That's kind of like what we were doing in Canada.

00:32:46.060 for like the 51st date was very antagonistic it was antagonistic but don't do you do you think

00:32:53.560 trump means everything he says verbatim and like gospel or do you think a lot of the stuff he says

00:33:00.640 especially the outrageous stuff is that he just wants to be that guy the troll and and it works

00:33:07.820 in a way where you're trying to negotiate at some point you do things you say things and then later

00:33:13.380 down the line when you're nice it seems like oh he's being really nice but meanwhile you're just 0.98

00:33:19.060 not being that piece of garbage that you were being earlier i don't know i honestly don't like 0.95

00:33:24.200 because then he's like give me greenland we're gonna and then he's sending jd vance to greenland 0.97

00:33:28.520 and they're like hey this is our place you know whatever they sound like whatever i've never met

00:33:32.100 a greenlander i think greenland stinks i don't want it it's giant apparently they sound like 0.73

00:33:36.680 Amish people in Europe. 1.00

00:33:39.880 We don't know

00:33:40.520 whatever that is.

00:33:42.280 I don't know what he's doing with that

00:33:44.700 stuff. I don't know what's real and what's not.

00:33:46.480 But that kind of went away.

00:33:47.800 He's not really talking about that. I think he just comes

00:33:50.680 up with things to get people

00:33:52.820 mad and talking and

00:33:54.620 angry. I think he likes getting

00:33:56.280 his opposition all wound

00:33:58.700 up about stuff that means nothing.

00:34:01.000 Imagine sitting in the Oval Office

00:34:02.780 and you say these

00:34:04.720 things and then you're just watching what's coming in and you gotta laugh like they're 1.00

00:34:09.680 believing this i can't believe how stupid they are it's gotta be fun for him that's what he 0.99

00:34:15.700 he's a guy from new york that was in construction you don't think he loves busting balls i mean it 1.00

00:34:24.060 might be some of that yeah i don't i just don't know like i don't know i honestly don't know

00:34:28.440 i don't really care i just i don't blame canada for being a little yeah yeah pissed off at that

00:34:33.100 Like of all the things.

00:34:34.800 I get it.

00:34:35.180 But kind of take a joke.

00:34:36.520 Yeah.

00:34:37.020 And be like, come back.

00:34:38.660 Did you ever meet Trump more than the phone calls we used to get on ONA?

00:34:44.240 Oh, yeah.

00:34:44.700 I mean, I interviewed him for UFC.

00:34:46.440 Me and Matt were in the room with him for 40 minutes.

00:34:48.280 That's right.

00:34:49.140 We went to Vegas, and I sat with him for 40 minutes.

00:34:52.620 We talked.

00:34:53.000 It was all fighting.

00:34:54.360 There was no politics because it was a year ago July.

00:34:57.280 He wasn't the nominee yet.

00:34:58.380 Right.

00:34:58.800 He didn't want to talk politics.

00:35:00.000 No, no, he wouldn't.

00:35:00.820 Oh, he wouldn't.

00:35:01.200 But Dana said, like, look, man, this is the UFC.

00:35:03.100 And I got it.

00:35:04.520 He's like, this is a sports podcast.

00:35:05.920 Dana White?

00:35:07.180 Dana White.

00:35:07.800 No, no.

00:35:08.460 Plato from Different Strokes.

00:35:11.320 A skinny hand came out of a grave with a cell phone.

00:35:14.820 And she said, I want to hear about mixed market lights.

00:35:17.920 I don't know why she sounds like that.

00:35:18.600 See, that's what I thought. 0.63

00:35:20.980 But no, Dana's like, look, man, don't be crazy.

00:35:22.860 Because it's the UFC.

00:35:24.080 And he's like, I got it.

00:35:24.920 He was right.

00:35:25.520 Like, we talked all boxing.

00:35:27.320 That's his gig.

00:35:27.720 Yeah, it's a sports podcast.

00:35:29.200 Screw it up, right?

00:35:29.840 Um, and it was, uh, and he also liked Trump a lot and he wanted like another side of Trump

00:35:35.600 to be shown like, you know what I mean?

00:35:38.340 Like just like the personality without anything that people are just going to jump onto for

00:35:42.240 no reason.

00:35:42.820 Right, right.

00:35:43.360 And he was great.

00:35:43.980 Like he was really, his memory was amazing.

00:35:46.560 Like people thought we had cue cards up for him because he was remembering so many fights

00:35:51.120 and he was big in the early UFC.

00:35:53.580 So it was a great interview.

00:35:54.680 He was great to everybody.

00:35:56.380 Were you nervous?

00:35:57.740 I was, but I also, Nikki came with me, and she said, she goes, you didn't seem nervous at all.

00:36:04.120 And it was like, when you're, there's so much on the line.

00:36:07.060 Right.

00:36:07.760 That you just, you almost go full circle, and you're like, now I'm not nervous anymore.

00:36:13.360 Because it's so big a deal.

00:36:15.260 Yeah, yeah.

00:36:16.000 Like, if it was any, like, if it was J.D. Vance, I probably would have panicked and spilled coffee on myself.

00:36:20.080 Because it's just that one inch less.

00:36:22.120 Less, yeah.

00:36:22.800 The fact that it was more, I was just like, it's almost like you're doing this and it's not real.

00:36:29.260 Did you want to say something about politics to him?

00:36:32.320 I had like six pages of questions, but I would have just, the one thing I wish I had.

00:36:37.240 One question on each page?

00:36:38.300 Yes.

00:36:38.680 One big question.

00:36:40.900 How much does Air Force One weigh? 0.99

00:36:46.580 That's a really dumb question. 0.97

00:36:49.240 Do you think Amy Klobuchar's joke is funny? 0.98

00:36:52.800 No, one thing I wished I had told him, and I regretted this ever since, is I wanted to say to him, hey, I love that you spoke to Kim Jong-un. 1.00

00:37:02.540 Stupid thing. 1.00

00:37:03.460 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

00:37:04.180 But I love that he did it.

00:37:05.300 And he would have gone off 20 minutes on that alone.

00:37:08.820 Yes.

00:37:09.280 And it would have been really interesting.

00:37:11.140 I believe in talking to people we don't like.

00:37:13.380 Yes.

00:37:13.540 So I loved that he did that, and he didn't get any credit for it.

00:37:16.560 Even though, look, Kim Jong-un did what he wanted.

00:37:18.680 I still like that he did it.

00:37:20.300 And that's the one thing I wish I had said to him was, like, I just forgot at the end because he was taking pictures with everybody.

00:37:26.000 He was like, everybody's got pictures?

00:37:27.020 Like, he was so great.

00:37:28.620 Jeffrey Epstein taking pictures with everyone.

00:37:31.840 Well, I mean, I'll be honest.

00:37:32.860 I wasn't going to bring his up.

00:37:33.960 All I need to do is start crying just thinking about how that great soul is lost.

00:37:39.600 R.I.P. Jeffy.

00:37:40.900 um do you do uh without even being political i think looking at trump and what he's done

00:37:49.800 since he's become president uh it's very different than any other president we've had

00:37:56.720 yeah and everybody looks at these past presidents and goes oh why didn't they do this why didn't

00:38:02.340 they do that and i think a lot of people on the left democrats will just not like anything he does

00:38:09.440 Yeah, that's obvious. But isn't it kind of cool to have a president that's doing things that is so out of line of the the the presidential thing you're supposed to do or that you've done over the course of years?

00:38:23.800 I like that he wants to talk to to Putin about Ukraine and they're like, no, don't even talk to Putin until he capitulates.

00:38:31.740 It's like you're not going to really try to stop a war until you actually have some rapport with this guy.

00:38:38.660 Or obviously Israel-Gaza.

00:38:41.120 What's going on there?

00:38:42.480 Nothing as far as I have to say.

00:38:44.500 I ain't getting myself in trouble.

00:38:46.020 I haven't heard.

00:38:46.640 If I say one thing, Sid's going to not let me do his show tomorrow. 1.00

00:38:51.240 Super Jew Sid. 1.00

00:38:53.620 He's amazing. 0.97

00:38:54.660 No, it's one of these situations, though, where it's like, I like a president that is doing something completely different because every American over the course of history has said, why can't we get a president that does this instead of this?

00:39:11.820 Sure.

00:39:11.960 Well, you got one.

00:39:13.400 So let's just see how it plays out.

00:39:15.520 Like it or not, it's only four years.

00:39:18.440 He's not going to try to run again.

00:39:20.140 He put out the 2028 hats, which, again, a great, funny gag.

00:39:25.260 He's Trump.

00:39:26.260 This is what he does.

00:39:27.360 But he's leaving the presidency after four years.

00:39:31.420 And we have enough checks and balances in place where no president can really go too crazy.

00:39:39.120 Let him do what he wants to do.

00:39:41.500 See how it works.

00:39:42.860 Some of it I don't agree with, but I still, I do like the idea of somebody who hates the other people in that city.

00:39:51.540 Like, he really does hate people in Washington.

00:39:54.060 The Beltway.

00:39:54.600 I mean, he just hates them, and he tapped into something.

00:39:58.280 And they hate him.

00:39:59.580 They certainly do.

00:40:00.380 Yeah.

00:40:00.700 There's a lot about him I like, and there's certain things he's doing that I just wish that he wouldn't do.

00:40:05.200 But, you know, I would have got...

00:40:06.440 You want to elaborate on that a little bit? 0.97

00:40:08.040 I just don't like the – I don't think he's – I think he's too anti-transgender, but I understand the pushback against liberals who are crazy. 0.91

00:40:16.160 I don't disagree with that. 0.97

00:40:17.420 I don't mind transgenders marrying comics. 0.99

00:40:20.560 Me neither. 0.99

00:40:21.060 But being in a foxhole in combat, do you see that as maybe a conflict? 0.99

00:40:27.380 Because too many soldiers – I think soldiers have to be such alpha males, so crazy, so like, you're a killer, 0.97

00:40:34.360 that I think it might not work 1.00

00:40:38.320 to have transgender people in combat situations.

00:40:42.680 I don't agree because. 1.00

00:40:44.660 I think that they use them in other countries like Israel, 0.80

00:40:47.580 and I think they're allowing trans soldiers.

00:40:50.500 And I just don't think the image matters that much. 0.98

00:40:53.480 I think with the weapons we have

00:40:54.860 and the fact that most things are fired,

00:40:57.180 I just don't think if someone can make it.

00:40:59.500 She is.

00:41:02.080 Come on.

00:41:04.360 When I said foxhole, I didn't mean that one.

00:41:08.780 No, I don't.

00:41:10.260 I think that as a soldier, if you're in a place with a person and you're both going to be killed, I think you act like soldiers.

00:41:15.980 I don't personally think that anybody who's capable, if you're qualified to do it, you should be able to do it.

00:41:21.380 If you're willing to die for this country, I respect you.

00:41:25.320 That's how I feel about it.

00:41:26.500 But if you're not, if you're an agenda-driven person and you can't do the job, they should boot you out.

00:41:31.040 Here's another question about that same topic.

00:41:34.360 Do you think that the Democrats, well, not so much Democrats, liberals, whatever you want to call the extremists on the left have ruined it for a lot of people that would be qualified and would be allowed by some really, you know, not centrist stuff that's gone on over the past four years so that that pushback has to be so drastic so that the other half of the country goes, good, yeah, we did that.

00:42:04.000 100 percent that's of course 100 i'm a firm believer that a republican president very firm

00:42:11.140 from what i'm saying tripped in my middle of my bosoms i'm a rather flabby believer i think that

00:42:17.900 a republican president should only be able to nominate democratic judges and vice versa

00:42:23.620 interesting yes they have to find someone who's more moderate who is much more towards the way

00:42:29.960 that's how I see it

00:42:32.140 but it'll never happen

00:42:33.080 you'd get more of a

00:42:34.500 balance 0.86

00:42:36.300 to letting all these kooks

00:42:38.380 it's crazy

00:42:39.660 I apologize

00:42:41.240 that's how I see it

00:42:43.000 hey it's the Anthony Cumia Show

00:42:46.320 we have Jim Norton here

00:42:48.120 all night long and we'll be back in moments

00:42:50.860 it's the Anthony

00:42:52.400 Cumia Show on the Red Apple

00:42:54.500 Podcast Network

00:42:55.800 it's the anthony cumia show entertaining and informative on the red apple podcast network

00:43:05.240 the anthony cumia show thank you for tuning in we do appreciate it um i thought you liked

00:43:15.640 talking live like like podcasts are great and i love doing them but knowing that people are

00:43:20.960 list it really is a different feeling so different there's like you know we were talking about this

00:43:28.180 earlier the idea of podcasting and that everybody got into it and the what finally made me go like

00:43:34.960 oh geez okay this is what podcasting is i saw a podcast kit in best buy it was a single box

00:43:44.120 It had a camera, a microphone, and you just, it's a podcast in a box.

00:43:51.380 Best Buy.

00:43:53.760 I have to shoot over there, grab myself a kit.

00:43:57.920 And then you're just doing a podcast.

00:43:59.780 To me, when you get to that point, podcasting really needs to pull the reins back.

00:44:06.140 Back in the early 80s, I think it was very similar to the comedy thing.

00:44:11.560 Everyone was a stand-up comic.

00:44:13.340 It's just – they were – so many TV shows, Evening at the Improv and –

00:44:20.680 Comedy on the Road with John Beiner.

00:44:22.120 Comedy on the Road.

00:44:22.920 MTV had comedy shows.

00:44:24.700 All the networks had the Friday night comedy.

00:44:27.720 And it got oversaturated and terrible.

00:44:31.700 And you could still go into certain comedy clubs and look at the face shots on the wall and go,

00:44:36.520 who the hell is that and what could he possibly be doing now?

00:44:40.100 Where is that – I asked him.

00:44:41.320 I did ask about one guy who I'd worked with years before.

00:44:44.780 I'm like, where is he?

00:44:45.500 And they're like, oh, he killed himself.

00:44:46.880 I'm like, oh, God.

00:44:47.960 I was going to say, hopefully it was Rich Voss.

00:44:50.680 No, it was an Asian fellow who I envied his conviction, though.

00:44:55.560 Did he do it the good way, Harry Carey? 0.96

00:44:58.900 No.

00:44:59.600 All right.

00:45:01.580 Why would he do it with an announcer for the Cubs?

00:45:04.600 I know.

00:45:05.240 I'm humiliated I said it.

00:45:07.000 I'm embarrassed I thought it.

00:45:08.260 I'm humiliated that I said it.

00:45:09.920 I didn't even fly my plane into that aircraft carrier.

00:45:14.300 Now I've got to take care of business.

00:45:18.060 Is that Harry Caray?

00:45:19.340 Yeah.

00:45:20.640 Yeah, there are just so many podcasts.

00:45:24.320 And look, there's some really good ones, obviously.

00:45:28.260 I mean, I think the presidential election was obviously helped by podcasts.

00:45:38.300 Yeah.

00:45:38.480 And you have Trump going on Rogan's show.

00:45:44.500 He did Schultz.

00:45:45.280 He did Theo.

00:45:46.320 He did huge podcasts.

00:45:47.800 Yeah.

00:45:48.540 And now it's hilarious because it always seems like the left is just a little behind what the trend is.

00:45:57.440 And that really gets them because they're they're now complaining that podcasts and comedy is more right wing now.

00:46:08.600 And that's an issue that shouldn't be because what happened?

00:46:15.480 It's hate. It's hate comedy now.

00:46:18.580 Do you know, like, here's what I hate to break it to progressives because I really kind of need you in some ways to, you know, because for my marriage to work.

00:46:25.580 i don't want my wife to be forced to change her name to hank but i i do uh i think that

00:46:33.200 progressives have gotten so unbearable like so i do i do i'm doing a bit now about trans uh girls

00:46:40.680 and sports and all this stuff right and it's pro-trans but it's a funny bit and i get this

00:46:45.540 email from this trans man who tells me like i was devastated when i saw your and i it was i wasn't

00:46:51.920 angry at the email but i wrote back like but you don't point out that i agree with this i agree with

00:46:55.440 that i agree with like it's like the one thing you don't see a hundred percent eye to eye with

00:46:59.980 you get the tsk the scolding about what do you want comics to do any comic that bends into that

00:47:06.640 is not going to be funny at this point so yes it's got to be funny if you're a comic yes sometimes

00:47:13.340 even the comedian isn't agreeing with what he's saying he just has to be funny but if you're

00:47:20.340 putting something out there like i guess it was uh dave chappelle got so much crap for that uh 0.95

00:47:26.040 trans bit he did and the bit was literally him talking about how he adored this trans woman yeah 0.66

00:47:33.600 and had a great relationship uh and they use that against him it's crazy like i record every

00:47:41.300 interview i do now like when i do like press when you want to go to sleep do you play them

00:47:45.200 yes i do because they're boring i would love for you to take that and run with it but again

00:49:04.440 That's me.

00:49:05.940 Sure is.

00:49:07.440 Jim Norton here with me.

00:49:08.960 Interrupting like I've never done radio before.

00:49:10.640 You're actually coming back.

00:49:11.720 I'm like, talk, talk, me, talk.

00:49:14.200 I'm going to Ed Norton.

00:49:17.480 My no instincts.

00:49:20.720 Yeah, now you wanted me to remind you what you were talking about before the break.

00:49:27.340 Oh, the Chappelle thing.

00:49:28.160 It was almost like we did, I did an interview with some, like a local paper a year ago maybe, on the West Coast.

00:49:35.400 And I record all my interviews now because they've misquoted me so many times.

00:49:38.900 Good, yes.

00:49:39.520 There's so many things they've got.

00:49:41.500 And he asked about Chappelle.

00:49:44.340 And I'm like, I don't agree with everything, but I like Dave.

00:49:46.620 I think he's a great comic.

00:49:47.580 And he should say what he wants.

00:49:48.920 Like, that's my view.

00:49:49.640 I don't care.

00:49:51.060 And the guy printed something about how I was, like, really angry with Dave Chappelle.

00:49:55.480 See what they do?

00:49:56.440 It was the polar opposite.

00:49:58.780 So I called the guy, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

00:50:01.580 I'm like, hey, man, your editor might have made a mistake.

00:50:04.640 Oh, that's a good tactic.

00:50:06.220 But I'm not mad.

00:50:07.340 I'm like, but I do record the interviews.

00:50:09.400 So I'm saying, if you tell your editor, like, I have the actual audio, and I didn't say that at all.

00:50:14.260 I'm not mad at that.

00:50:14.880 But the piece is out already.

00:50:17.340 It was online.

00:50:17.940 They just bring it down and edit.

00:50:19.640 Oh, okay.

00:50:20.400 They edit it, and he did.

00:50:21.820 He fixed it.

00:50:22.840 But, I mean, you got to record when you're being interviewed.

00:50:24.820 Just record yourself, because they literally clickbait, and it's like, I didn't – that's not what I meant?

00:50:29.640 So I'm careful with how I judge other people now, because so many times they've gotten what I said wrong.

00:50:35.120 I'm like, I try not to believe almost anything.

00:50:38.420 Yeah, there didn't used to really be the technology to do that for many years.

00:50:42.800 Not like you used to have to bring a big reel-to-reel in.

00:50:46.020 Well, I'll set this up while you do the interview.

00:50:50.380 But it almost seemed clandestine.

00:50:53.060 Like, oh, I've got to put a bug on me to make sure this guy isn't screwed. 0.52

00:50:56.740 you're you're just trying not to get screwed over by an interviewer and you have to feel like you're

00:51:13.480 doing something against the rules yes i always bring them into the bathroom and i'll just have

00:51:18.100 them talk into the toilet camp i've never thought of that yeah that's a like why do you want me to

00:51:27.900 look into the tank i'm like just do it trust me better audio in here yeah but i record everything

00:51:32.360 for that reason i just i don't i don't believe that anybody won't screw you over they always

00:51:37.480 will they always do so i'm happy i was so happy i had that yeah and and the thing uh being of course

00:51:44.060 someone's going to think, well, Dave Chappelle

00:51:46.400 has had his share of

00:51:48.380 issues with the trans

00:51:50.300 community, and so

00:51:52.200 oh, if Jim Norton is talking about

00:51:54.380 him, and he's mad, and

00:51:56.360 Jim's wife is trans,

00:51:58.360 then, oh, we got a great story here.

00:52:00.600 Yeah. And that to me seems

00:52:02.500 yeah, clickbaity.

00:52:04.260 Yeah, I could care less with Dave. Dave's doing what he should

00:52:06.380 do. He's a comic. Your job is to

00:52:08.000 be funny and express your opinion.

00:52:10.380 That's it. That's your only obligation.

00:52:12.400 Your obligation isn't to stick up for anybody.

00:52:14.300 It's not to be right.

00:52:15.080 It's not to be wrong.

00:52:16.140 It's just to be funny and to be as truthful as you can.

00:52:18.940 Have you noticed a lot of people, like fans, being negative with you over Mary and Nikki?

00:52:27.920 Nah, I think they know I don't care.

00:52:30.420 I've talked about it for so long.

00:52:31.760 And some of them are like, I didn't know.

00:52:33.100 And it's like, well, then you haven't paid attention for 20 years. 1.00

00:52:35.960 What do you want me to tell you, stupid? 1.00

00:52:38.180 What do you want me to tell you? 1.00

00:52:39.740 I mean, the tap dancing under the porch?

00:52:41.880 My special was called Mouthful of Shame.

00:52:44.960 What do you want me to tell you?

00:52:46.860 You think that is broccoli?

00:52:48.900 Exactly.

00:52:50.880 No, it's the same color as cauliflower.

00:52:57.440 But you know what I mean?

00:52:59.320 They've been surprisingly better than people would have thought.

00:53:03.960 I don't think they care. 0.99

00:53:05.220 You know, it's because I've been looked at over the course of years as a piece of garbage. 0.99

00:53:11.300 Sure you have. 1.00

00:53:12.020 Just utter and complete garbage. 1.00

00:53:13.500 Well, the sign says that you have to be an accompanying minor if you're on the playground, and there you are lollygagging. 1.00

00:53:20.700 With my camera around my neck.

00:53:23.080 Yes, of course.

00:53:24.420 No, but obviously, I don't think a lot of people realize I am whatever makes people happy.

00:53:33.860 I'm fine with it.

00:53:35.420 Just don't screw with me.

00:53:36.640 It seems like a very, you know, oh, really, that old gag.

00:53:39.840 But it is that old gag

00:53:41.380 It's like I don't care as long as it doesn't interfere with

00:53:44.240 Don't step on my toes

00:53:45.500 Yeah, do what you want to do

00:53:46.520 Live how you want as long as it doesn't affect how I live

00:53:48.720 Yeah, that's fair

00:53:49.440 Feature came here, you told me you want to get back in business

00:53:51.940 You weren't going to step on anyone's toes

00:53:54.040 Jesus Christ

00:53:55.580 Best yeller ever, by the way

00:53:57.280 Robert Loja

00:53:59.980 Best yeller ever

00:54:02.100 And I took him and I passed him in the face

00:54:04.580 I'm telling you now

00:54:05.820 It's just so unreasonable

00:54:07.680 when Paulie went into his little bread shop

00:54:12.320 to talk about the lawnmower guy. 0.99

00:54:14.680 And he's like, hey, shit, you want some bread? 0.99

00:54:17.180 And it's all nice. 1.00

00:54:18.160 By the end of it, he's yelling.

00:54:20.920 No one ever acting has been able to go from zero to 200

00:54:26.060 as fast as Robert Lozier.

00:54:28.640 No one has been able to get to that level

00:54:30.820 without there's no ramp up to it.

00:54:33.820 And then you watch him doing the foot piano in big

00:54:37.340 With Tom Hanks

00:54:38.440 That's the same guy

00:54:40.840 I guess that's good acting

00:54:42.620 He hasn't gotten a bass hit all year 1.00

00:54:44.160 I should kill him 1.00

00:54:45.140 What are you talking about a toy 1.00

00:54:47.780 That turns into a building 1.00

00:54:49.380 It's stupid 1.00

00:54:51.980 I mean he's the greatest 1.00

00:54:54.400 He's dead now but the best

00:54:56.000 Oh yeah

00:54:57.660 Oh was he funny

00:54:58.520 Johnny Sack was good at that too

00:55:02.460 I mean

00:55:03.060 He would go

00:55:03.760 What are you talking about

00:55:06.840 hear tony but what am i supposed to what are we the the u.n now and you're like oh he's building

00:55:14.580 up he's gonna get pissed my favorite moment is when he says to carmine uh so you're talking 0.99

00:55:19.840 about ginny and you could you know whatever for a million and he goes ralph wants ginny yes stupid 0.97

00:55:26.740 carmine didn't catch it he was making just using an example yeah i'm sure you know this but you 0.96

00:55:35.880 know that he was the guy from the green book the green book yes yes the driver yeah the driver

00:55:42.620 in that movie uh you know that was a true story and yeah he went on to be carmine in the sopranos

00:55:48.860 in real life that's who that is the like he was the real guy that's the whole thing in the sopranos

00:55:53.900 was the guy the driver in the green book right was carmine but not the movie he was the real

00:55:59.820 driver the real driver yeah yeah it was a real i was a true that made me like that movie more

00:56:05.860 because I thought it was such Hollywood schmaltz.

00:56:08.340 Yeah, yeah.

00:56:08.620 Oh, someone learned a lesson, did they?

00:56:10.740 Oh, yuck.

00:56:11.540 I hate learning lessons.

00:56:12.620 Of course, I hate it, too. 1.00

00:56:15.020 Unless the lady's putting on a special belt 1.00

00:56:16.800 to teach me about... 1.00

00:56:18.340 Teach you a little lesson.

00:56:19.660 Yeah, then I like learning.

00:56:21.560 Are you learning your lesson?

00:56:23.020 I don't know.

00:56:24.040 I don't know.

00:56:30.940 But yeah, I like that movie more when I learned that.

00:56:34.320 I was like, all right, it was okay.

00:56:35.060 So many of those guys were, you know, in the life in one way or another back then.

00:56:45.320 I don't know.

00:56:46.360 So much has changed.

00:56:48.100 Is that even a thing now?

00:56:50.140 If you want to make a movie, do you get someone, aside from those guys, you know, do you get

00:56:55.740 a new guy that was actually a criminal in organized crime and put him in a movie?

00:57:01.960 Probably as a consultant.

00:57:03.180 You probably want them as a consultant.

00:57:04.860 Yeah, yeah.

00:57:05.400 If you're going to make a movie about a guy who kills a lot of...

00:57:07.340 Like, Sammy the Bull would probably be a good consultant

00:57:09.260 because he could tell you how guys really talk.

00:57:11.940 No, that's not how it happened.

00:57:13.560 When you smell a writer's room...

00:57:15.720 Like, Voss had recommended The Godfather of Harlem

00:57:19.120 with a Forrest Whitaker who is great.

00:57:21.900 No, is it Forrest Whitaker?

00:57:22.460 Yeah, Forrest Whitaker.

00:57:24.400 Yeah, with the wacky eye.

00:57:28.060 Forrest Whitaker. 0.99

00:57:29.320 He's the big black guy with the cookie. 1.00

00:57:32.120 He's got a little wacky eye going. 1.00

00:57:33.300 Oh, I didn't even notice that.

00:57:33.880 How did you not notice that?

00:57:35.820 It's so obvious. 0.63

00:57:37.400 Does he have a crazy eye?

00:57:38.220 He's like...

00:57:38.700 It's like a Popeye eye.

00:57:41.620 Oh, my gosh.

00:57:43.040 I can't believe it.

00:57:45.220 Oh, I...

00:57:46.020 Okay, let's do...

00:57:47.620 You do some Popeye. 0.98

00:57:49.840 I'm going to Popsguy's fried chick skin.

00:57:52.960 Ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak.

00:57:55.140 I'm the king of Scotland, ak, ak, ak.

00:57:57.600 That's good.

00:57:58.700 Oh, I got some gas.

00:58:00.340 Hit me with a two-by-fours.

00:58:02.760 Oh, come on.

00:58:03.880 I was in Fast Times. 0.77

00:58:07.220 I wish Olives had a bigger butsk.

00:58:11.240 I was in Fast Times.

00:58:12.740 It's Ridgemont High.

00:58:13.220 At Ridgemont's Kais.

00:58:14.700 Guy who can't improv back but is trying anyway.

00:58:18.120 I was in Starsk Warsk. 0.94

00:58:21.340 He wask.

00:58:23.040 I was talking to my wife one time, and she didn't know Popeye's name,

00:58:27.360 and she thought he was called Skippy the Captain.

00:58:30.080 Wait, what?

00:58:30.960 That doesn't even...

00:58:31.960 Even, it translates to Norwegian somehow.

00:58:34.260 And she's like, oh, I keep forgetting she's from Norway.

00:58:36.900 Skippy the captain. 1.00

00:58:37.460 I'm like, who are you talking about?

00:58:38.760 Skippy the captain.

00:58:40.000 It really made me very angry.

00:58:41.320 Sounds like something she'd call you.

00:58:43.440 Skippy the captain.

00:58:44.540 Climb aboard.

00:58:48.020 And she would say, swab the deck, but she would say it a little different time.

00:58:55.840 Come on.

00:58:58.080 Thank you.

00:58:58.840 So anyway, I'm watching this show

00:59:02.680 And I'm only in episode one

00:59:04.280 It's already annoying

00:59:05.000 I don't hate it

00:59:05.800 Like if Vincent D'Onofrio's in it

00:59:07.460 I just, I don't love it

00:59:10.260 I just feel like it's kind of writer's room-ish

00:59:12.860 And I just like

00:59:14.100 Whenever you can smell a writer's room on it

00:59:16.140 I just tend to not like it

00:59:17.740 Now did you

00:59:18.460 How far into it are you?

00:59:20.460 I'm literally in the first episode

00:59:21.720 Oh, that's interesting

00:59:22.380 And he just met Malcolm X

00:59:23.700 And I just

00:59:24.100 There's just certain things you can tell they're doing

00:59:27.040 because they seem like cool things to do in a show.

00:59:29.200 Yes.

00:59:30.000 A lot of these shows, though, these series,

00:59:33.320 they'll put out one season at least.

00:59:36.540 They'll try to put out one good season to hook you, 0.97

00:59:40.360 and then it's just garbage. 0.97

00:59:42.800 Yeah. 0.99

00:59:43.060 They give up.

00:59:44.600 I think they get good writers for the first season,

00:59:48.180 and then they just go, we're going to pay good writers.

00:59:51.100 Now we'll just get garbage in and try to keep it going.

00:59:55.420 I honestly believe that because these series fall apart after one season.

01:00:02.440 Or they literally are a one-season idea that just doesn't have sustainability.

01:00:08.380 Or they just use all their great ideas.

01:00:09.940 Here's a good example.

01:00:11.200 What's the one where they're in the office and you're not sure where they are?

01:00:15.000 Sirius XM.

01:00:20.260 Yeah, we're not going to renew.

01:00:22.040 All right, good stuff.

01:00:22.940 All right, good.

01:00:23.660 We've got my pay.

01:00:24.780 Severance.

01:00:25.420 It was Severance was the show.

01:00:27.140 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:00:28.000 And it's interesting.

01:00:28.980 Season one is good.

01:00:29.960 And then season two just, they're trying to, I just, it feels like they're just trying

01:00:34.460 too hard to be like, to take you in all these crazy directions.

01:00:39.340 And it just, I don't know.

01:00:40.180 It just lost me.

01:00:41.240 Like, season two stinks.

01:00:42.880 I don't like it.

01:00:43.580 It happens all the time.

01:00:44.740 It used to take quite a while.

01:00:46.780 Like, remember Lost?

01:00:48.440 Yes.

01:00:48.700 Lost was a huge show.

01:00:51.020 Everyone watched it, loved it.

01:00:53.500 And you talked about it.

01:00:55.420 People had parties over their house to watch it, and then it fell apart, obviously, but

01:01:02.660 we didn't care that it fell apart at the end.

01:01:05.540 We were invested.

01:01:07.000 Now, it doesn't take that many seasons.

01:01:09.820 It's one season.

01:01:10.280 When Ben was driving the island, is that when it fell apart?

01:01:12.480 When Ben was like, turning the island?

01:01:15.680 It was a ship?

01:01:16.740 Right.

01:01:17.220 Like the skipper?

01:01:18.220 Hey, little buddy, I'm going to turn the island. 0.99

01:01:20.040 Shut up, Ben. 1.00

01:01:21.720 It got so ridiculous. 1.00

01:01:23.760 It got stupid, yeah. 1.00

01:01:24.620 And people were still, you were just invested in it. 1.00

01:01:28.400 You had to keep going.

01:01:29.940 Like a bad stock.

01:01:31.480 You're just not going to sell it.

01:01:32.960 You hang on.

01:01:33.500 You hang on.

01:01:34.360 And, you know, that was it. 0.79

01:01:35.940 And then with the final, the big finale, the water cooler talk the next day was, wow, that really sucked. 0.87

01:01:42.320 Because they blew it.

01:01:43.500 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:44.100 They could have made it great.

01:01:45.440 But still, see, what was a great season two?

01:01:47.980 A lot of people didn't like The Wire season two, but I loved it.

01:01:50.680 I get why they didn't.

01:01:51.720 Oh, right.

01:01:52.240 The docks.

01:01:53.220 The ship.

01:01:53.720 They went through the ships.

01:01:55.880 Sopranos had a great season two, but Severance season two stinks.

01:01:59.940 Squid Game season two was okay.

01:02:02.000 It didn't stink, but it was not amazing.

01:02:04.380 It was decent.

01:02:05.440 Cliffhanger, too, so we got to see three.

01:02:07.520 I know.

01:02:08.340 Come on, you should have made a complete season.

01:02:10.220 I know.

01:02:10.800 They're trying to rope everyone in.

01:02:12.720 That's what they do.

01:02:13.660 Yeah, it's already been filmed, too.

01:02:14.660 I think they filmed two and three together.

01:02:16.220 I think so, yeah.

01:02:17.620 Oh, my God.

01:02:18.220 Hey, we'll be right back in moments,

01:02:21.180 because we have to take another break, Jimmy.

01:02:23.800 Yeah, we've got to sell this.

01:02:25.340 Can you stay around?

01:02:26.080 Can you stick around?

01:02:27.020 Yeah, let's play with the advertisers, you know.

01:02:29.100 We've got to pay the bills.

01:02:30.300 Keep the lights on.

01:02:31.560 I couldn't think of what to say.

01:02:32.960 Shut it.

01:02:33.300 I will. 0.99

01:02:33.780 Shut it.

01:02:35.120 Be back in moments.

01:02:37.640 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:02:45.180 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:02:51.180 Yeah, Anthony Comey's show, Sunday night, Memorial Day weekend.

01:02:56.900 I hope you got a lot of good plans with your family.

01:03:01.900 It was this big barbecue weekend, the first big weekend of the summer.

01:03:06.840 And then, oh, it's Labor Day.

01:03:11.580 What have, how does that work?

01:03:15.800 Oh, my God.

01:03:17.460 You know what's great about living in South Carolina?

01:03:20.440 Fireworks.

01:03:21.180 the the for years like as a kid here's me and jimmy were earlier talking about uh how when you

01:03:29.440 grow up and then you grow older you're still the kid you're still the kid you always were

01:03:34.620 and uh you think you're going to be different you think you're going to get older and have

01:03:39.780 these different ideas but you're still the kid that you always were so moving to south carolina

01:03:45.420 and knowing that summer's coming up

01:03:50.340 and 4th of July's coming up

01:03:51.760 and seeing fireworks stores.

01:03:54.440 Yeah.

01:03:55.380 It does, I don't care.

01:03:57.000 If you are a man,

01:03:59.340 which I aspire to be someday.

01:04:00.960 Sure.

01:04:01.940 If you're a man,

01:04:03.600 you look at that and go,

01:04:04.640 oh yeah, I am buying fireworks

01:04:08.040 and I am going to buy a huge amount of fireworks

01:04:12.980 and set them off on the 4th of July

01:04:15.440 because that is something I don't think ever really goes away in a guy.

01:04:20.640 I know you love it, and I know that a lot of it. 1.00

01:04:24.520 Fireworks, I would rather watch a quadriplegic paint with his teeth 1.00

01:04:28.580 than watch fireworks. 0.98

01:04:29.800 Well, most people that set them off end up that way.

01:04:32.780 So they're not mutually exclusive.

01:04:37.180 Dude, I can't stand them.

01:04:38.940 Why do you not like fireworks?

01:04:40.620 I've never enjoyed them.

01:04:41.620 Now, watching a display, if you're watching the Macy's or the, what is that, the Italians out there on Long Island, the Grucci, the Grucci fireworks, they're the ones that do the big July thing on the Brooklyn Bridge and whatnot. 0.68

01:04:58.260 Okay, sure.

01:04:58.980 So you got a great vantage point in New York City.

01:05:02.460 I'm sure you would go out there and watch them.

01:05:04.500 I have.

01:05:05.200 But you don't like setting them off?

01:05:06.500 Or even, I watch them just because I'm right there.

01:05:09.820 And I'm like, all right, cool.

01:05:10.660 I don't have to do anything to watch it.

01:05:12.600 But I just don't care about them at all.

01:05:15.380 Even as a kid, there was no thrill of lighting an M80.

01:05:18.580 No.

01:05:18.860 Throwing it.

01:05:19.820 Hoping your hand didn't blow off.

01:05:21.640 No, and that's why I didn't like them, because I was a bit of a cautious boy.

01:05:25.180 Oh, yeah, with your chronic alcoholism at 15.

01:05:28.400 Yeah, I mean, look, there were problems.

01:05:29.260 You're really taking care of yourself.

01:05:31.220 There were problems.

01:05:32.460 No, mommy. 0.72

01:05:35.720 I'm the devil. 0.98

01:05:36.940 little douche 1.00

01:05:39.580 with a knife in your hand walking down the street 1.00

01:05:41.920 hoping the police would shoot me 0.98

01:05:43.440 so did everyone else 0.97

01:05:45.820 and it would have been right

01:05:47.220 it would have saved a lot of half sold rooms

01:05:49.660 from being bored

01:05:50.720 no I never liked them

01:05:53.900 I just never cared about them

01:05:55.500 we fired like bottle rockets at cars

01:05:57.960 and stuff but I never cared

01:05:59.940 about fireworks I get why people like it

01:06:02.060 I mean I get it

01:06:03.100 in South Carolina they sell

01:06:05.580 like you can set off the fireworks that you see in displays right and last year because i've been

01:06:13.160 blessed with um uh jobs over the course of the years that have given me some disposable income

01:06:18.980 where i could go to fireworks places and buy insane fireworks last year i did it all depends

01:06:26.220 i mean you could buy stuff that's ten dollars and they could buy hundreds of dollars worth

01:06:31.300 I bought stuff that, like aerial bombs, they launch M-80s up and explode.

01:06:38.620 It's very loud.

01:06:40.300 I like the loud ones.

01:06:42.440 In New York.

01:06:43.720 That's ironic.

01:06:47.840 Because, yes.

01:06:52.200 In New York, you get like, even in California, there were safe and sane fireworks they sold when I was a kid.

01:06:59.380 Yeah.

01:06:59.700 And it was these little sparklers, and you like that.

01:07:04.080 I called them another type of word.

01:07:06.500 It started with an F.

01:07:07.700 Yep, I know what they were.

01:07:09.080 And it with a G.

01:07:09.500 Sure they were.

01:07:10.280 Yes, one letter in between.

01:07:12.180 Can you please get what I'm talking about?

01:07:14.400 If the sparkler was an architect in a 1960s sitcom.

01:07:20.920 Exactly, yeah.

01:07:22.480 So, yeah, it bothered me.

01:07:25.580 It's like, wow, they're legally selling fireworks.

01:07:28.040 And my dad would be all like, we're getting, we're buying fireworks.

01:07:31.160 And it said safe and sane.

01:07:34.120 I'm like, that doesn't sound fun.

01:07:35.980 No, it doesn't.

01:07:36.640 It doesn't.

01:07:37.000 And it was all quiet and sparkly.

01:07:39.380 So South Carolina buying these really big, loud fireworks.

01:07:45.200 I think last 4th of July, it was my first 4th of July, I spent in South Carolina.

01:07:50.520 And I think I spent $1,000 on fireworks.

01:07:56.120 I mean, that's not even as crazy as I would have thought.

01:07:59.420 That's a lot.

01:08:00.320 It was a lot.

01:08:01.220 Just you and Missy, or do you have people over?

01:08:02.860 No.

01:08:03.600 No one over.

01:08:05.380 My cat.

01:08:07.180 Do you know how to cook on the grill? 0.99

01:08:09.960 It comes with having male genitalia, doesn't it? 0.99

01:08:15.480 I wouldn't know. 0.98

01:08:16.320 I mean, believe me, I got it.

01:08:18.300 Trust me.

01:08:20.120 No, I, yeah, I can cook on a grill.

01:08:23.820 We have a nice egg grill, a beautiful egg grill, which I got.

01:08:27.840 A Weber.

01:08:28.540 Not a Weber, no.

01:08:29.400 This is like a real big – it's not porcelain, but it's a big – it's an excellent grill.

01:08:33.860 I got it from a buddy of mine.

01:08:35.120 And I don't know how to use it.

01:08:36.800 It sat there for a year.

01:08:37.920 My Weber sat there for a year until I threw it out because this one came, and I can't use it.

01:08:42.540 Why?

01:08:42.920 It's the same thing as cooking on a grill or anything.

01:08:45.380 I can't do that either.

01:08:46.880 You can't cook it.

01:08:47.760 No, I can't.

01:08:48.880 So I want to –

01:08:49.300 How's Nikki? 0.97

01:08:49.900 Can she cook on the grill? 0.98

01:08:50.860 She cooks okay, yeah. 1.00

01:08:51.640 She cooks good fish and stuff like that. 1.00

01:08:53.500 She doesn't like cooking chicken. 1.00

01:08:55.920 Who doesn't like cooking chicken? 1.00

01:08:57.260 Norwegian slop.

01:08:58.960 Big, heavy fish, right?

01:09:00.860 No, like bacon.

01:09:02.420 Like giant, thick bacon with weird grease on it.

01:09:06.840 It's hideous.

01:09:08.100 It's hideous.

01:09:09.300 I bet it's weird grease on it.

01:09:11.520 Hey.

01:09:12.040 Is that what you call it?

01:09:13.020 Yeah, what are you doing?

01:09:13.720 I'm throwing that on my back?

01:09:14.920 What am I supposed to do with that?

01:09:16.040 Come on.

01:09:16.960 Burns. 1.00

01:09:17.360 Weird Greek. 1.00

01:09:20.100 Because that's, yeah. 1.00

01:09:21.420 Hell yeah.

01:09:21.580 Anyway.

01:09:22.220 Sure.

01:09:22.400 Wow, that's – I didn't realize that she – 1.00

01:09:26.220 But you can cook on a grill. 1.00

01:09:27.820 I would like that.

01:09:28.720 I'm thinking of going to your house and grilling and having some fireworks.

01:09:31.580 It's not that hard a thing to do.

01:09:32.680 When I had the house in Roslyn, there was one year, and I've talked about it on the show, where Patrice came over.

01:09:40.280 Oh, yeah.

01:09:40.980 And he ran the grill.

01:09:44.460 Like, I have my usual guys, and Patrice just walked over there and was like, yeah, let me take care of it.

01:09:49.460 And cooked burgers and chicken and hot dogs for my entire family and loved it.

01:09:58.080 He loved doing it.

01:09:59.540 He was a surprisingly good host, too.

01:10:02.160 Yes.

01:10:02.340 Like, when you go to Jersey City, we need to have, I think that was the year I threw Voss's straw hat.

01:10:07.920 Or was he the Voss or Keith's straw hat?

01:10:09.480 I threw it into the fire.

01:10:11.060 Wish his head was in it. 0.93

01:10:12.980 Daddy, my hat blew off. 0.90

01:10:16.140 But Patrice was a surprisingly warm host.

01:10:19.280 He liked cooking for people, which he doesn't seem like the type who would have been gracious and loving to feed people.

01:10:27.480 We'd love to cook for people.

01:10:28.340 When he wasn't being that guy, Patrice, he was a very sweet guy.

01:10:33.480 And we all, thank God, we all got to see that at some point or another. 1.00

01:10:38.620 But we also got to see, which was 99% of the time, the just bastard that he was. 0.99

01:10:46.560 I didn't like him when I first met him at all. 0.98

01:10:48.140 You didn't?

01:10:48.440 No one really does, quite frankly.

01:10:50.980 Him and Voss make the two worst impressions I've ever met of anyone.

01:10:54.060 Yeah, yeah.

01:10:54.660 Voss always leaves a terrible first impression,

01:10:56.760 which usually at four or five years in you get over it.

01:10:59.360 Maybe.

01:11:00.660 Bad last impression.

01:11:02.360 We've got to take another break, but we'll be right back.

01:11:05.000 I want to talk a little bit more about Patrice

01:11:07.560 because people like our little relationship we had with him.

01:11:11.080 Be back in a moment.

01:11:12.920 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:18.440 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.

01:11:25.900 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours, and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.

01:11:35.020 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,

01:11:39.820 our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.

01:11:45.480 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

01:11:47.120 When you travel, travel well.

01:11:50.300 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:11:52.620 Entertaining and informative.

01:11:54.700 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:11:57.620 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:12:01.480 With Jim Norton joining me this entire evening.

01:12:05.440 Thank you, Jimmy.

01:12:06.200 It's fun, man.

01:12:06.840 I love it.

01:12:07.140 For coming in.

01:12:07.880 I love it.

01:12:09.120 I come to New York.

01:12:10.360 It's the one thing I look forward to is hanging out with Jim Norton and doing this

01:12:16.320 because i'm not a fan i know you're not it's it and i was i was a huge fan of new york and new

01:12:24.300 york city and everything and then i think covid really changed a lot of people's opinions of big

01:12:32.040 cities and especially and i don't mean politically but i kind of do but democrat-run cities the way

01:12:39.260 they treated everyone during covid uh was just abominable people play clips now and go hey don't

01:12:47.640 forget what they did and you watch these clips of the police coming into a gym and dragging the

01:12:53.720 owner out and cuffing him in new jersey yeah this happened we forget about that you think oh covid

01:12:59.860 yeah that was inconvenient it people were dragged out of their places of business and covid is just

01:13:05.900 one more thing everybody's just so mad at each other everyone is so angry i am guilty like i am

01:13:14.120 so easy to set off that i try not i was looking at a clip of a guy just a road rage guy and i'm

01:13:19.400 like if i could have shot this guy through the phone i would have i just and i'm like why do i

01:13:24.200 care what's wrong with me how am i so easily triggered into rage everyone's just angry that

01:13:30.240 is a an interesting take because i laugh at myself a lot of times when as other people don't

01:13:38.080 sure i'll just fill in what you were going to say there might as well be one happy person in any

01:13:44.040 room you're in it it just gets to a point where you're so enraged and looking at something then

01:13:53.900 And you go, what am I doing?

01:13:56.960 Why do I care about this?

01:14:00.020 And then you try to justify why you care.

01:14:03.800 And sometimes I can.

01:14:05.380 I mean, I don't like certain things that are happening in this country.

01:14:09.140 And it's like, well, it doesn't affect you.

01:14:11.060 Look out your window.

01:14:11.880 The birds are tweeting that old gag.

01:14:13.360 And it's like, well, it is affecting me.

01:14:17.420 It's affecting my income.

01:14:19.740 and, you know, if I want to go to a city like New York

01:14:24.180 and I have to come in here every month and do a job,

01:14:27.340 I don't want to have to keep swinging my head around

01:14:29.720 to make sure someone doesn't clobber me over the head with a brick.

01:14:33.080 Sure.

01:14:33.720 That's all.

01:14:34.400 Yeah, of course.

01:14:35.000 It's so hard to turn around with that pointy hat.

01:14:42.380 But I know what you mean.

01:14:43.320 I do know.

01:14:44.460 Sure, there's like a ripple effect.

01:14:46.360 Of course.

01:14:47.580 But I just, I'm like, why am I?

01:14:48.920 Bigger holes in the...

01:14:50.120 We get it.

01:14:52.380 Yes, we understand.

01:14:52.920 Thank you.

01:14:54.220 But, I mean, you know me, and I don't want to sound too New Yorkish, but I'm a big Appler

01:14:58.020 through and through.

01:14:59.580 I know, you're a big Bockers fan.

01:15:02.100 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:15:02.980 Oh, Bock Nation. 1.00

01:15:04.600 Bock Nation. 1.00

01:15:05.680 People don't like that.

01:15:06.600 Now, for some reason, most people call them the Knicks.

01:15:09.540 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

01:15:10.460 You know, basketball, but the Bocks. 0.81

01:15:13.100 Yeah. 1.00

01:15:13.800 Because the Knicker, Bockers, that's their... 0.99

01:15:16.760 So do you call the Mets the Tripolitans? 1.00

01:15:19.520 No, the Metaros usually. 1.00

01:15:23.100 Or I'll say like Bok Nation. 0.98

01:15:26.180 Bok Nation.

01:15:27.260 What kind of response is that getting? 0.99

01:15:29.240 Really positive.

01:15:30.700 Are the shirts selling the Bok Nation shirts? 0.99

01:15:34.520 I should sell them. 1.00

01:15:35.360 Oh, boy, that would.

01:15:38.120 I want $100 because I know so little about basketball that I said,

01:15:42.040 but they're going to beat Boston.

01:15:43.720 And all the guys at the cellar who know basketball,

01:15:45.900 they're like, no, they're not.

01:15:46.760 We took a $100 bet, and I won, and I have no idea.

01:15:51.000 I wouldn't even watch the game.

01:15:52.480 Of course you did.

01:15:53.900 Like, that's why I read your post, and I'm like, he doesn't watch the game.

01:15:57.840 He doesn't know anything about the players.

01:16:00.140 No, I don't care.

01:16:00.700 Or basketball, yet, yeah, because you tossed a coin.

01:16:05.960 That's it.

01:16:06.520 You hope the box won.

01:16:08.020 Sure.

01:16:08.580 I mean, look, I'm a Bokker fan when they're doing well.

01:16:11.780 Why not?

01:16:12.840 I like to see a happy New Yorker.

01:16:15.200 You know what I mean?

01:16:15.820 We can go box.

01:16:16.700 We all look at each other and we.

01:16:18.440 Yeah.

01:16:19.100 Yeah.

01:16:19.280 I hope it's been ruining people's day.

01:16:20.840 They hate it.

01:16:21.500 I've never heard anyone call them the box.

01:16:25.040 No. 1.00

01:16:25.400 Bockers. 1.00

01:16:26.100 That's a big fan, I guess. 1.00

01:16:28.880 I put that little hyphen before Bockers. 1.00

01:16:31.460 Yes, I saw that. 1.00

01:16:32.860 Believe me, you're going to have to point that out.

01:16:35.440 I definitely saw that.

01:16:38.900 I mean, I just don't care at all.

01:16:41.100 But it's fun to watch a good playoff game.

01:16:42.840 If you're watching a playoff game with people who are into it,

01:16:45.340 it's hard not to get caught up in it.

01:16:47.140 Yeah, yeah.

01:16:48.040 But I don't care.

01:16:49.800 I want to touch on, because that's what radio people do.

01:16:54.140 Sure.

01:16:54.660 No, I want to talk about your show, what you do.

01:16:57.960 Now you have a podcast, and it's Jim Norton Can't Save You.

01:17:04.340 And you talk about people's problem.

01:17:08.520 And sometimes they're pretty serious.

01:17:10.920 It's funny.

01:17:11.340 like I liked that I did the advice show

01:17:13.160 after the old OA.

01:17:15.280 I like callers.

01:17:16.340 I know people like to callers

01:17:17.500 but sometimes they take you

01:17:18.680 in a weird direction.

01:17:20.280 Like you're with a comic.

01:17:21.820 Everyone's interviewing comics.

01:17:23.040 Every show is a comic and a comic.

01:17:25.240 And so many of you doing a gig

01:17:26.120 and look there's only so many things.

01:17:28.320 Enough.

01:17:28.820 A caller will at least just take you

01:17:30.840 into a different place

01:17:32.400 that you never would have thought to go.

01:17:34.020 Yeah.

01:17:34.400 That's why I like it.

01:17:35.240 And it's alive and it's in the moment.

01:17:37.180 And everyone likes to give advice.

01:17:38.980 Like every comic who's like

01:17:40.280 As soon as someone would ask a question, I go, wait, wait.

01:17:43.640 So, wait, you said you're going to, like, everyone gets into it.

01:17:47.300 When I watch your show, I see the guests that you normally wouldn't think are people that would dispense advice to anybody.

01:17:56.640 But you're right.

01:17:57.400 People kind of want to give advice.

01:18:00.940 I don't even know if it's so much you want to help somebody, but you want to seem like you kind of know something.

01:18:07.580 You're never going to make someone mad going, what do you think?

01:18:10.280 Everybody wants to be asked what we think, and I just – it's fun to hang with a comic and talk, and it takes you in again.

01:18:16.820 You talk about your own life, and you know how it is.

01:18:19.160 I love doing it. 0.98

01:18:20.500 I was going to call it Good Luck Stupid, and the reason I just didn't because – 0.98

01:18:24.880 Why bring Voss into it? 0.99

01:18:27.700 I'm not even there.

01:18:29.340 Come on, people.

01:18:30.920 Okay. 0.90

01:18:31.320 And I kind of wish I had called it Good Luck Stupid, but I wanted something with my name in it just because, again, you know, people have an idea of what it is. 0.92

01:18:41.360 And Mike, the guy who does my producing, said, Mike, Mike, you don't come on the podcast and be unfunny like that. 0.65

01:18:52.420 So I kind of wanted to, but he goes, it might be a little easier for advertisers like this.

01:18:57.220 Like you, I mean, I'm like, yeah, OK.

01:18:58.900 I mean, advertisers are the only thing paying me there.

01:19:01.000 so yeah yeah the uh i heard somebody call in the other day and what a weird story about

01:19:07.700 having sex with the was it the brother-in-law oh that guy that was when i was in uh in austin 0.83

01:19:14.060 with casey rocket yeah yeah the guy sounded like woody allen yeah his sister-in-law he goes they 0.95

01:19:18.940 kissed right they kissed and their lips touched during a new year's eve kiss whoa dangerous and

01:19:25.560 He said every day he's been repainting his belly thinking about that.

01:19:31.800 And I don't blame him.

01:19:33.440 It was so hot. 0.51

01:19:34.980 But this is his brother's wife?

01:19:37.060 His brother's wife, yeah.

01:19:39.380 And did he have feelings for her before this magical kiss?

01:19:43.640 I don't know.

01:19:44.700 I think he thought she was attractive.

01:19:46.540 And why kiss on the mouth?

01:19:48.340 They didn't. 0.98

01:19:49.060 They kissed.

01:19:49.580 It was like when I saw you before, that little weird kiss we do.

01:19:53.420 But I had to open my fly.

01:19:55.560 I know, and it was weird

01:19:58.620 It was with that back

01:19:59.300 I'm like, this is going to be a smelly kiss

01:20:05.040 We hand up free toothbrushes here

01:20:10.060 At the radio station

01:20:11.600 So, that's weird

01:20:14.800 It wasn't even

01:20:15.700 Like, you know, kiss him on the cheek

01:20:18.540 And the lips just

01:20:19.740 I guess the lips just touch the little 0.85

01:20:22.000 And apparently she said to him

01:20:23.700 Wow, the year's off to a great start

01:20:25.420 and that weird little moment

01:20:27.680 that's the type of thing like

01:20:29.120 I know what you're telling me

01:20:31.700 how hard is it

01:20:33.280 for a guy

01:20:36.940 to forget that

01:20:38.740 turn it down

01:20:39.940 never acknowledge it again

01:20:41.720 and not play off of it

01:20:43.740 especially if she's someone you thought was hot before 0.99

01:20:46.180 but the disloyalty

01:20:48.800 it's your brother

01:20:50.060 that should transcend any

01:20:52.660 sexual

01:20:53.740 insanity you have but as a guy especially at a certain age or where you're just completely out 0.62

01:21:02.020 of control that's a tough thing to do yeah i don't uh i don't quite understand it like i would be so

01:21:09.140 grossed out by just the idea that someone's having sex you know i mean like i wouldn't be able to get

01:21:13.760 beyond that and i'm a pervert but that would be one that would just be going but i get it though

01:21:19.280 I get why the inappropriate, somebody likes a little inappropriate, you know what I mean?

01:21:23.560 If you like the inappropriate, that's another kind of fetish.

01:21:26.360 But if you just, if you don't like that, but you were kind of turned on by it, what a conundrum that is to have.

01:21:34.480 Now, like every time you see her, and you know how it is with guys and girls, because girls won't even think about it.

01:21:43.460 You could imagine something in your head that she thought, like, oh, I think she liked that.

01:21:49.860 When she said, like, the year's off to a good start, that must mean she got the same vibe I did.

01:21:55.440 Now you're infatuated with her, and she didn't even think twice about it.

01:22:00.920 I kissed my friend's grandmother, which I know is trying to—

01:22:03.640 Oh, right?

01:22:04.760 And it was like a little peck in our lips touched.

01:22:07.900 And I'd be lying.

01:22:09.680 Whose lips were thinner and drier?

01:22:11.540 We have a little contest

01:22:13.480 I would be lying if I said I wasn't turned on

01:22:17.340 I was a little turned on

01:22:20.440 I like the taste of Geritol

01:22:22.520 I couldn't do anything about it

01:22:27.740 Because I'm like, you know, then they close the list

01:22:41.540 Old satin pillow head.

01:22:45.620 Did you really kiss a grim one?

01:22:47.300 No.

01:22:47.780 Oh, right?

01:22:48.560 I thought it was very funny to me.

01:22:51.920 I was literally smiling as you were talking,

01:22:53.160 just thinking about some old bag in a coffin,

01:22:55.600 me giving her a peck, getting a rod and the lid closing.

01:23:01.640 That is so wrong.

01:23:03.560 I know.

01:23:04.440 I love it.

01:23:05.560 But, yeah, no, I've had inappropriate thing,

01:23:09.320 like little weird back touches

01:23:11.080 when you're taking a photo with someone after a show.

01:23:13.400 And you think it means something.

01:23:15.360 And sometimes it does, but it just goes nowhere.

01:23:17.280 That never does.

01:23:18.720 It never does.

01:23:19.940 I know.

01:23:20.380 I'm like, what am I talking about?

01:23:21.400 His wife is here.

01:23:24.060 But yes, sometimes a little bit of rub your back,

01:23:27.060 and there's a little signal,

01:23:28.840 but you know it can't go anywhere, and it doesn't.

01:23:31.420 It's just a moment.

01:23:32.720 Like, it's some type of a weird moment

01:23:34.280 that just is, and then it expires.

01:23:37.440 What kind of advice did you give this guy?

01:23:41.600 I don't remember.

01:23:42.780 I remember the call.

01:23:43.980 Yeah.

01:23:44.300 But I don't remember. 0.99

01:23:45.400 I'm sure I encouraged him to go and have sex with his sister-in-law. 0.99

01:23:50.900 Yeah, of course. 0.99

01:23:51.500 I mentioned Hunter Biden.

01:23:52.560 I mean, how could you not?

01:23:54.020 A hero among men.

01:23:55.200 Be like a presidential son.

01:23:56.820 Absolutely.

01:23:57.860 Do exactly what all of us want.

01:23:59.080 He wanted to for a while.

01:24:00.620 All of a sudden, I was like, I have a headache.

01:24:01.760 And he's like, all right, I'll wait it out.

01:24:02.880 should i go to the doctor no here's some excedrin not at all don't you worry about it

01:24:10.940 open your cap one more little button in the back you'll be fine old pudding brain is

01:24:16.780 going away and i'll take care of business

01:24:19.080 it's just so terrible it's just awful yeah but i uh you know i'm weak with that stuff it's hard

01:24:27.780 not to think about it even if you don't act on it it's still the idea of it and you're right

01:24:31.780 Sometimes you imagine it.

01:24:33.160 So you got to be careful it's not that.

01:24:34.480 It's a lot of imagination.

01:24:36.340 Like you want it to be true. 0.98

01:24:38.980 I think a guy, especially a young guy, when I was in high school, every single thing a girl did that wasn't calling me a piece of crap. 0.98

01:24:50.500 Right. 0.93

01:24:51.080 Which was nothing.

01:24:53.740 That was like coming on to me.

01:24:56.060 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

01:24:56.620 If a girl talked to you, it was coming on to you.

01:25:03.100 If she put her hand on your arm while she talked to you, you're like, well, this is it. 0.92

01:25:09.520 I have her.

01:25:12.340 And the way they think is totally different.

01:25:15.920 Because you're always looking, and this is all of us who do this, looking for the signal.

01:25:20.460 Yeah.

01:25:20.700 Like the signal where like, oh, she feels the way I do.

01:25:25.060 And it never comes.

01:25:26.620 Did you write a poem, Jimmy?

01:25:28.320 Did you?

01:25:29.680 I wrote one in rehab.

01:25:31.180 Did you?

01:25:31.560 No, but I did.

01:25:32.260 I told you this time I was sitting on the shopping carts.

01:25:34.680 Did I tell you that?

01:25:35.180 I think I had the crush on this girl so much.

01:25:37.700 And she's like, I like someone.

01:25:39.780 I'm like, you do?

01:25:41.140 And she's like, yeah.

01:25:42.580 No.

01:25:43.040 You thought it was you.

01:25:44.280 Well, she's like, I'm like, really?

01:25:46.120 And she goes, yeah.

01:25:46.840 She goes, it's weird because we're friends.

01:25:48.560 I'm like, I'm sure it's okay.

01:25:50.380 And she goes, and he's got glasses.

01:25:51.800 And I'm like, really?

01:25:53.200 And she's like, yeah.

01:25:54.320 Does John have a girlfriend?

01:25:56.620 She's talking about my buddy, John Freno.

01:25:58.980 Jim.

01:25:59.560 It's not John.

01:26:00.160 The name's Jim.

01:26:01.040 And I was like, oh, that's cool.

01:26:02.140 He's a nice guy.

01:26:03.480 Oh.

01:26:04.620 And I went and got a screwdriver and stole Wii magazine out of the machine, which is

01:26:08.800 what I used to do, and went and chafed my young, confused body with my hand.

01:26:17.300 Dude, I would take the screwdriver and go steal Playboy, Penthouse, and Wii.

01:26:20.740 They were in a machine in the local motel.

01:26:23.700 How would they put those in machines that could be easily lifted?

01:26:26.660 It was a magazine.

01:26:27.920 Yeah, I know.

01:26:28.820 I've seen the machines, but jeez.

01:26:31.340 You put the screwdriver in and just jimmied the magazine.

01:26:33.620 I didn't take the money.

01:26:34.660 I just wanted the magazines.

01:26:35.520 No, just the magazines.

01:26:36.340 Of course, at that age.

01:26:37.760 Pia Zadora.

01:26:38.700 Oh, yeah, the Pia Zadora issue of Wii.

01:26:41.420 Very hot.

01:26:42.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

01:26:43.680 Why are celebrities better to see naked than just regular girls? 1.00

01:26:49.300 Because it's the same thing that OnlyFans probably does now, 1.00

01:26:51.640 Which is people that you see

01:26:53.240 Because guys, you always want to see somebody naked

01:26:55.160 Always

01:26:55.600 Take your clothes off

01:26:58.000 Something you haven't seen before

01:27:00.220 There's no hair on it, which of course you're used to

01:27:02.680 But there's something about seeing these

01:27:13.040 People you work with 1.00

01:27:14.620 Or like women at the office 1.00

01:27:15.800 You want to see them naked 1.00

01:27:16.660 That's what it's like with celebrities

01:27:18.660 Because it was so taboo

01:27:20.560 Like Celebrity Skin became a huge website.

01:27:23.760 People wanted to see, they'd freeze frame a movie where it was a split second. 0.97

01:27:28.740 Half a breast. 0.99

01:27:29.400 Yeah, half a breast or something like that. 1.00

01:27:31.820 Yeah, well, see that outside Sloan Kettering.

01:27:39.680 Jimmy's face is in his hands right now.

01:27:43.140 I'm sorry, you knew that was coming up.

01:27:45.040 I did, but it was worse than I anticipated.

01:27:47.100 I knew it was coming.

01:27:48.800 I didn't think you'd name the hospital.

01:27:50.560 wait there was

01:27:52.440 oh the

01:27:54.280 celebrity skin the nude

01:27:56.460 oh I forget what I was going to say

01:27:58.820 it was something about

01:27:59.780 celebrity skin seeing somebody

01:28:02.500 naked I don't remember

01:28:04.060 that was a big thing

01:28:06.160 he was on Howard a lot

01:28:08.400 because it was a big thing Mr. Skin 1.00

01:28:10.720 and it was all about like celebrities 0.82

01:28:12.840 did they even do that 1.00

01:28:14.560 are there any women now 1.00

01:28:16.860 actresses that 1.00

01:28:17.900 that exposed themselves to that extent? 1.00

01:28:21.340 Maybe a side boob shot, but...

01:28:25.400 Oh, now there are lots much more...

01:28:27.620 I think people so don't care about nudity as much.

01:28:30.260 It's there, so you're not going to get in trouble for use.

01:28:32.640 Like, what's her name from Brown Bunny?

01:28:35.720 Chloe Svangy, who went with Vincent Gallo, 1.00

01:28:38.240 did that phenomenal scene. 1.00

01:28:41.080 Actual sex, yeah.

01:28:42.600 But that really hurt her career,

01:28:44.140 because it was like 15 years ago.

01:28:45.480 Yeah, yeah.

01:28:46.140 I think William Morris dropped her.

01:28:47.500 But nowadays, if you're doing OnlyFans, unless you're like...

01:28:50.460 15 years ago.

01:28:50.800 She's like 30 now.

01:28:52.900 Oh, so it was 20 years ago.

01:28:55.220 Kidding, of course.

01:28:56.400 Math joke.

01:28:57.420 I know.

01:28:59.560 It was like if you do something like that now, it wouldn't matter.

01:29:03.660 Like on OnlyFans.

01:29:04.720 Unless you're like Taylor Swift or somebody like above all of it, then it's a big deal.

01:29:09.120 But for most people, no one.

01:29:10.400 But I don't even think they do it anymore.

01:29:12.280 Like, movies now don't have gratuitous nudity in them.

01:29:18.140 Maybe not.

01:29:19.000 Yeah, I don't think I see it as much. 1.00

01:29:21.600 I think women are a little more, I don't know. 1.00

01:29:26.480 They don't want to do it. 1.00

01:29:27.380 It seems like they're being used and abused if they have to perform naked.

01:29:33.080 Intimacy.

01:29:33.760 I think an intimacy coach is called or something on the set.

01:29:37.680 Where could I get that job?

01:29:39.080 Hold on a minute. 0.99

01:29:40.220 Put me on a dirt baseman's line. 0.86

01:29:42.280 Just don't ask if I could, you know, shake your hand while we're watching.

01:29:47.340 Believe me, I'm still in second, you know.

01:29:52.840 All right.

01:29:56.060 Back in moments with more of the Anthony Cumia Show with Jim Norton this evening.

01:30:01.800 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:30:09.580 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:30:11.820 Entertaining and informative.

01:30:14.000 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:30:17.800 Welcoming.

01:30:19.100 Welcome back.

01:30:21.620 The Anthony Cumia show on the Sunday evening.

01:30:25.140 That was a quick break.

01:30:26.220 It was.

01:30:26.920 Nice.

01:30:27.260 I like that, right?

01:30:28.140 Short break.

01:30:29.080 Yes, a short break.

01:30:30.800 We do enjoy having the great Jim Norton on board.

01:30:36.600 I'm using radio.

01:30:37.560 On board tonight.

01:30:39.280 Speaking of on board, have you seen on Netflix that show?

01:30:43.340 It's about this ship that gets stuck on it.

01:30:44.900 You have two ships, and it's called Terror.

01:30:47.020 Oh, wait a minute.

01:30:48.020 It's like an old, the ship was called Terror.

01:30:50.540 There's two ships, one called Urbis and one called Terror, yes.

01:30:53.220 Yeah, and they got stuck in the ice.

01:30:54.640 Like by Antarctica.

01:30:55.720 I'm only on episode nine.

01:30:57.500 Yeah, I watched that one.

01:30:58.700 Okay, don't tell me the ending, but I'm liking it.

01:31:01.340 The monster looks kind of weird.

01:31:02.820 Yeah, yeah.

01:31:03.740 The weird, it's not, it's close up, it's good, but from far away,

01:31:07.160 it looks like. Like when they would have

01:31:09.040 those Christmas

01:31:09.720 puppet shows. Remember like the Heat

01:31:12.900 Miser, the way the polar bear would walk?

01:31:14.860 Yeah, yeah. The

01:31:15.660 animation. What do they call them?

01:31:18.820 Not a claymation, but... No, my God!

01:31:21.620 Thank you.

01:31:23.040 I'm panicking.

01:31:24.740 What do they call?

01:31:26.920 They weren't puppets. What were they?

01:31:29.240 What were they?

01:31:30.620 Looking around the room, no one seems

01:31:32.860 to know. It wasn't animatronics.

01:31:35.020 It wasn't animation.

01:31:36.960 Not Claymation.

01:31:37.880 It might have been Claymation.

01:31:39.740 But they weren't Clay.

01:31:40.540 They weren't Clay.

01:31:41.500 They were puppets, I think.

01:31:42.740 I think it was Puppetmation.

01:31:45.060 No, Clay.

01:31:45.740 I think it's Clay.

01:31:46.740 No.

01:31:47.940 Ah, I hate it.

01:31:48.640 Like Rudolph and those Rankin-Bass productions.

01:31:54.200 Stop Motion.

01:31:55.120 Stop Motion?

01:31:56.120 Stop Motion.

01:31:56.780 Well, that was...

01:31:57.520 I never would have got that.

01:31:58.560 That wasn't very thrilling of a name.

01:32:00.540 Not at all.

01:32:00.860 Not at all.

01:32:01.560 Stop Motion.

01:32:02.420 Stop Motion.

01:32:03.700 Right now, as he's saying, I'm hearing that Price is Right sound.

01:32:06.600 I want somebody to strike out.

01:32:08.860 Oh, I'm so sorry.

01:32:10.760 Yes.

01:32:13.560 I want to bring up a couple of things that I have sound clips for, Jimmy.

01:32:18.480 We do sound.

01:32:20.060 We're amazing.

01:32:20.920 Very good.

01:32:21.720 It's like the 30s here on radio.

01:32:24.300 Ladies and gentlemen, amplitude modulation is all you'll ever need for your entertainment.

01:32:30.220 You know, I never knew what AM stood for until you just said that.

01:32:32.620 Ooh.

01:32:33.340 And FM is what?

01:32:34.980 Frequency modulation.

01:32:36.400 Amplitude and frequency.

01:32:37.760 Amplitude.

01:32:38.200 One is height and one is width.

01:32:41.740 Really?

01:32:42.320 Yes, it's amazing.

01:32:44.180 So if I want to say three by four, if somebody asked me, I could say amplitude three, frequency four.

01:32:52.780 There you go.

01:32:53.880 Cool.

01:32:54.440 Right?

01:32:55.300 I didn't know what that meant.

01:32:57.080 Yes, it's quite an amazing thing.

01:32:59.420 So amplitude is height?

01:33:01.100 Yeah, yeah.

01:33:01.620 It's how high the frequencies go.

01:33:04.540 And then frequency is how much space between the frequency.

01:33:10.780 Oh, okay.

01:33:11.400 Yeah.

01:33:11.760 So which one goes off?

01:33:12.680 AM travels further.

01:33:14.300 But if someone's driving under a bridge right now, they're not hearing this brilliant talk about frequency and amplitude.

01:33:22.840 They're driving into a bridge.

01:33:24.080 They're going to circle around, go to the top of it, and drive right off.

01:33:27.580 They're driving into the ocean to not have to hear this.

01:33:31.020 Yeah, this is banal dribble.

01:33:33.320 Someone's out there going, oh, he's right.

01:33:35.560 I didn't know it meant either, Jim.

01:33:37.600 He's right.

01:33:40.660 Whoopi, you like Whoopi?

01:33:42.520 Are you still a Whoopi fan?

01:33:44.020 I know we've, over the course of the years with the O&A show.

01:33:47.460 Yes.

01:33:48.060 When we were at XM and then we went over to K-Rock and XM and then Serious XM.

01:33:57.220 And we've always kind of had maybe a bad relationship with Whoopi Goldberg over at The View.

01:34:05.660 We would always torment her show because she was doing a morning show.

01:34:10.480 And then one day we're on the air and Eric Logan just walked her into the studio.

01:34:16.060 And I respected her that she came on the show.

01:34:19.080 She was fun on the show, too.

01:34:20.300 We actually got along.

01:34:21.840 She was the comic Whoopi when she came in.

01:34:26.340 I don't mind the comic Whoopi.

01:34:28.540 The sanctimonious Whoopi.

01:34:32.820 I don't like it either, but I've always kind of liked her.

01:34:35.600 And she did a half hour many years ago, which made her kind of put on the map and made her famous.

01:34:41.900 She was like a one-person show, and she was great.

01:34:44.180 She's a great actress.

01:34:45.300 It was really good stuff when she was younger.

01:34:48.680 Before, it was the color purple.

01:34:50.380 So I like her for that.

01:34:51.360 She was hungry back then.

01:34:52.840 Yes.

01:34:53.220 She don't look very hungry now.

01:34:54.640 She does not.

01:34:55.280 and I will acknowledge that's a fat joke

01:34:57.260 and say you are correct. 1.00

01:34:58.620 She's been wearing a shower curtain for the last 15 years. 1.00

01:35:01.760 She's a big lady, Ed. 1.00

01:35:04.620 Big woman.

01:35:05.880 Yeah, I don't like the sanctimonious either. 1.00

01:35:08.360 Yeah.

01:35:08.760 I don't hate her.

01:35:09.520 She's fine, I guess.

01:35:10.520 Who cares?

01:35:10.840 But she gets on there, 0.99

01:35:12.060 and I think there's too much control

01:35:15.020 over what she can and can't say

01:35:17.520 and how she has to say it,

01:35:19.220 and I think she's actually been programmed

01:35:21.980 Programmed to be this network puppet, maybe, for the left and the media.

01:35:31.220 And, you know, and look, we're already running out of time for this break.

01:35:36.080 But let's play Whoopi.

01:35:37.500 She's talking about how this Jake Tapper book came out about Joe Biden and his his dementia, his obvious dementia.

01:35:45.520 And Whoopi just goes right over and says exactly what we know wasn't true.

01:35:51.020 I know.

01:35:51.240 They knew this.

01:35:52.800 So let's listen to Whoopi talk about the Biden Alzheimer's, pretty much.

01:36:00.340 The trust issue.

01:36:01.060 There has always been a mass trust issue because politicians, media, nobody does what they're supposed to do.

01:36:08.600 Now, I say, for me, listen, he's 83.

01:36:14.300 So he's a little stumbly.

01:36:15.740 He's a little rumbly.

01:36:16.660 i can't point to anything that he's done as president he did no but but i'm saying

01:36:26.940 i want not you but i want somebody to tell me well when did you know it was bad if you knew

01:36:34.960 why did you wait yeah so i'm going to answer that he said that it was after he moderated the debate

01:36:40.700 You can cut it off right there because the fact that Whoopi didn't know and she's like, well, when did you know and why didn't anyone tell us?

01:36:51.320 Everyone was telling you from 2015, like from 2019, whenever he would try to run for office, we were like, he seems a little off.

01:37:01.620 I think the 47th time I heard the corn pop story, I realized this man is a clue. 0.96

01:37:08.980 Yeah, this guy is a mashed potato brained boob. 0.87

01:37:12.200 He's finished. 0.89

01:37:13.500 They all now, because Jake Tapper put this book out that says everyone knew in the White House and the media knew.

01:37:21.660 Well, they said the media didn't know because we weren't told.

01:37:25.020 They knew.

01:37:25.320 We were telling you.

01:37:26.620 Every guest that went on their show was telling you, and you called them conspiracy theorists and said, well, you're a doctor?

01:37:35.680 You now know you can diagnose the president from what you're seeing?

01:37:39.460 So we all knew.

01:37:40.640 We all said something.

01:37:42.140 The people that didn't tell you were the ones lying to you.

01:37:45.820 It's funny how, like, we always feel like we say things that has no impact, right?

01:37:49.280 No one here.

01:37:49.840 Right.

01:37:50.460 But the complaints about the media and the continuous pointing out.

01:37:54.320 I was watching a clip today.

01:37:55.380 It's blatantly obvious.

01:37:56.860 Jimmy, we will come right back to this.

01:37:58.780 I have to cut you off.

01:38:00.080 Let's take a break.

01:38:00.940 We'll be right back.

01:38:01.780 Daddy will be back.

01:38:04.640 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:39:14.160 And it's like, nah, I don't know.

01:39:15.980 Yeah, of course, you want to just do that.

01:39:17.260 Yeah, you got to, can do.

01:39:18.500 You're a can do guy.

01:39:20.240 I'm stepping up.

01:39:21.200 I'm a corporate company man.

01:39:22.760 Are you sure?

01:39:23.420 A shill.

01:39:23.960 A corporate shill.

01:39:24.920 I can't wait until the first year is over. 0.99

01:39:28.280 And I'm just clobbering ass. 0.96

01:39:31.620 And they go, what can we do for you, Anthony? 0.96

01:39:33.820 And I go, I will never, ever again do a holiday.

01:39:38.600 But right now, I'm all for it.

01:39:40.880 Right now, you do it.

01:39:41.900 Look, tomorrow, I normally get up and go to the gym.

01:39:46.640 But I'm not even doing that tomorrow.

01:39:48.080 Gym? 1.00

01:39:48.660 Does your wife get jealous? 1.00

01:39:49.740 G, not J.

01:39:52.520 All right.

01:39:54.340 Anywho.

01:39:56.080 You go to the gym, eating better? 0.99

01:39:58.560 I'm going to the gym, and I'm going to get strangled by a man.

01:40:02.460 But yeah, I'm not doing that tomorrow.

01:40:03.780 It'll be a nice easy day.

01:40:04.420 Take a day off.

01:40:05.320 Take a day of leisure.

01:40:06.620 Yeah.

01:40:06.980 No barbecues to go to.

01:40:08.680 But do you have plans?

01:40:09.880 No.

01:40:10.220 Are you going to do anything?

01:40:11.220 No, I'm not.

01:40:12.440 Go to the west side of Manhattan.

01:40:15.140 Look at the battleships and the carriers.

01:40:18.940 What am I, seven?

01:40:20.180 Go look at the big boats.

01:40:21.500 Go look at the big boats.

01:40:22.060 I want to go to a barbecue and be invited to a place.

01:40:24.500 Look at them back into the Brooklyn Bridge and go,

01:40:26.380 I caramba.

01:40:29.700 I mean, what are you thinking when you're on the top

01:40:32.560 and you see the boat, boat's not stopping.

01:40:34.380 Boat's not stopping.

01:40:35.760 You just got to stand there.

01:40:36.960 Boat's not stopping.

01:40:39.400 They said the power went out, like the one they hit in Baltimore.

01:40:43.480 The power just shut off and it couldn't stop it.

01:40:45.360 It couldn't do anything.

01:40:46.300 There's a current in that river.

01:40:47.620 It is a river, and it was going the other way.

01:40:50.880 It's not stopping.

01:40:53.040 Horrifying.

01:40:53.780 It has got to be horrifying. 0.69

01:40:55.960 But people forgot about it pretty quickly because people are racist. 0.78

01:40:59.080 There was two deaths, which just sucked, but it's not like, what's that? 0.98

01:41:03.140 Because people are racist here in this country. 0.97

01:41:05.260 Oh, absolutely.

01:41:05.760 They see a Mexican flag on a ship that hits the bridge, and people are killed, and they just go, well, what day is it?

01:41:13.640 Two days later, meh.

01:41:14.680 you know we'd feel much worse if it was americans it's terrible but that's kind of the way it is

01:41:21.940 it is the truth we always want to know how many americans don't we always do that like how many 0.84

01:41:26.440 americans would kill them and the media does it too they're like oh three americans were part of

01:41:30.960 that plane i bet every country does it though yeah they just think of their own countrymen 0.97

01:41:35.340 but we think of it i think even more we should because we really don't care and anything happens

01:41:42.180 people no anywhere no and don't we care more if something isn't that far away like we care like

01:41:49.420 let's say something happened in the bahamas wouldn't we care a little more than if it happened

01:41:55.180 half a world away may it would depend on what it was you think sure i mean if it was or aruba

01:42:01.920 like greece we wouldn't care if something happened in greece i mean they're kind of going broke

01:42:07.060 anyway aren't they all the eu is going broke except for like france and germany i want to go

01:42:12.980 to greece i do yeah i want to go there one makes perfect sense off the jim norton with authentic

01:42:18.840 greek features i just want to look at the statues sorry not allowed to do that while you look at

01:42:26.200 the statues a lot bigger than mine because they're tiny they sure are no hands no arms they came and

01:42:32.460 enjoy them they can't even hide them stand there being mocked pathetic would you go would you go

01:42:47.160 sabbath it's july 5th in birmingham so we're doing a gig in london and a gig in manchester

01:42:54.100 and a gig in birmingham just to pay for the airfare and the hotels like i just don't want to lose

01:42:57.760 money. Right, right. But you want to see

01:43:00.020 Black Sabbath's final show.

01:43:01.460 It's their final show. Yeah, the last

01:43:03.780 time all four of the original members will be on together.

01:43:06.180 So you gotta go. Of course. And I don't

01:43:07.720 even care if it's good. Like, whatever they

01:43:09.720 can do, they'll do. All I care about is being

01:43:11.820 there. You just want to be there. And see them and, yeah,

01:43:13.780 maybe say hello. That's it. Yeah.

01:43:15.600 Do you think you'll get a chance to say hi? I hope

01:43:17.700 so. I bet you will. I mean, I might. I don't know if

01:43:19.680 they're doing pictures, but I would love...

01:43:21.460 You'll worm your way. I will.

01:43:23.760 I'll slither under the door like an odor.

01:43:27.760 Like cyanide

01:43:29.160 Slither under the door

01:43:31.000 Hi guys, it's me again

01:43:32.400 But I do want to see them one more time

01:43:35.000 That is very, very cool

01:43:37.000 I've never done it before, like traveled like that for a show

01:43:39.580 When I was a kid, Rush was on tour

01:43:42.120 In like 1982

01:43:43.700 And I went and bought a ticket for $35

01:43:46.460 Which was all the money in the world back then

01:43:48.580 But I knew I wouldn't come to New York and see it

01:43:51.220 I knew I wasn't going to

01:43:52.600 Because I had no one to go with

01:43:53.780 So I might have bought two tickets

01:43:55.960 Or one ticket

01:43:56.740 And I just wound up eating it or giving it to someone.

01:44:00.700 You're performing, though.

01:44:03.240 Who books your gigs over there?

01:44:05.200 Because isn't that somebody who's regretting that, I'm sure.

01:44:08.920 I'm going to take a beating on it.

01:44:11.000 Not somebody who's going to keep their job for a long time.

01:44:13.160 Is it scary?

01:44:15.280 You've played overseas.

01:44:16.840 I've done England.

01:44:17.780 I've done Europe.

01:44:19.280 Yeah, once.

01:44:19.840 It was fine.

01:44:20.480 How were you received?

01:44:21.460 I mean, the same is here, kind of, with surprisingly contempt and a surprisingly international indifference. 0.99

01:44:35.360 I mean, like when you do you have to like crap on America? 0.98

01:44:41.360 Is that like a thing they go for? 0.99

01:44:43.160 Or like you saw recently, Bruce was over there, Springsteen, and then he like, hey, America's a terrible place now, the president.

01:44:52.700 And I don't know.

01:44:54.980 I kind of don't.

01:44:57.220 Maybe it's just me.

01:44:58.840 I mean, Springsteen, I don't mind as much because he's very good friends with Obama.

01:45:01.960 And he has been this guy for a year.

01:45:04.120 Like, it's not like he just became this guy.

01:45:06.620 If a guy has been pretty consistently one way, I'm more tolerant of it than somebody who just all of a sudden shows up.

01:45:13.520 When was, was he, I guess he did rag on Reagan when Reagan was trying to use Ain't That America, not Ain't That America, Born in the USA.

01:45:22.600 Like all these America songs that Reagan tried to use, he didn't realize they were anti-American songs.

01:45:29.340 Because he wanted to use Pink Houses also, Ain't That America, John Cougar.

01:45:36.360 Isn't that pro-America or no?

01:45:37.660 No, it's not.

01:45:38.840 Apparently, every America song is like, screw America.

01:45:42.560 John Cougar, Mellencamp.

01:45:43.980 Ugh, enough of him.

01:45:45.540 Yes.

01:45:46.400 Oh.

01:45:49.340 Is he a relative?

01:45:50.880 Yeah, he's a distant cousin.

01:45:52.740 A distant cousin or something.

01:45:54.500 Yeah.

01:45:55.360 Yeah, every America song, you're like, oh, that sounds good.

01:45:58.720 Like, I would have thought Born in the USA was a pro-America song.

01:46:02.820 I would have, too.

01:46:03.340 And Pink Houses, you know, Ain't That America For You And Me, Little Pink Houses For You

01:46:07.600 And it turns out they're all like Screw America songs.

01:46:12.460 I didn't realize that.

01:46:13.420 Yeah, they just sound good.

01:46:14.600 How about Coming To America by Neil Diamond?

01:46:19.140 Traveling far.

01:46:20.720 I don't like that one. 1.00

01:46:23.160 They come into America.

01:46:26.560 Get the Border Patrol to send them back. 1.00

01:46:29.760 When they come into America. 1.00

01:46:32.020 The murderous citizen and be freed. 1.00

01:46:35.500 They come, they're ruining America. 1.00

01:46:38.360 They're raping, robbing, and killing when they come to America. 1.00

01:46:44.140 Donald Trump is shipping them back. 1.00

01:46:47.980 At a very impressive rate.

01:46:50.820 Yeah, well, not impressive enough for some sitting right here.

01:46:56.640 I mean, it is crazy.

01:46:58.380 I was born here.

01:46:59.680 You going?

01:47:01.560 Bye-bye.

01:47:02.500 Home to mommy.

01:47:04.200 Oh, it's like, I guess the big thing is they say due process.

01:47:09.960 People need due process. 0.57

01:47:11.080 But I think the due process of being illegally here is that you get deported. 0.82

01:47:16.660 That's the process that you are due. 1.00

01:47:19.720 You came here illegally.

01:47:21.700 You don't have to go through a jury trial and be found, what, guilty of coming here?

01:47:27.740 It's not a thing that due process dictates you need a trial for.

01:47:33.580 You're here.

01:47:34.120 Not a trial, but don't you have to get, like, they have to make sure that you're, like, whatever it is you're seeking is not legit.

01:47:40.260 But they can throw you out in the interim.

01:47:42.280 Like, while they're looking up, hey, do you have a valid reason to claim sanctuary here in America?

01:47:50.060 Let's look.

01:47:51.080 Oh, by the way, while we're looking, get out.

01:47:54.260 Get out. 0.96

01:47:55.780 Get out.

01:47:57.740 Oh, I think it's coming in here, Alice, whatever it is. 0.99

01:48:04.660 I just want them to do it by the book only because I having dealt with immigration, they make everyone do it by the book. 1.00

01:48:12.760 So I'm for get anyone illegal out. Fine. I'm fine. 0.99

01:48:16.740 But I think that's what they have to do. And I just also can't understand why people are pushing so hard for a guy that look, I don't care about semantic.

01:48:27.740 or we don't know what's it, a gang member.

01:48:31.220 I think he is Phil.

01:48:32.340 The guy's got apocalypto tattoos.

01:48:34.120 Yeah.

01:48:34.500 And they're just like, no, he needs to come back.

01:48:38.640 It's such a just being a contrarian to Donald Trump.

01:48:42.860 Donald Trump wants this.

01:48:44.220 Let's not want it.

01:48:45.660 A hundred percent.

01:48:46.640 I want him to come back and then be shipped out again

01:48:49.160 because don't give them the ammunition.

01:48:51.880 Give him miles.

01:48:52.620 You want to give him like airline miles?

01:48:54.240 That's what it is.

01:48:54.900 And I don't think he's a Maryland dad.

01:48:56.540 I agree. 0.87

01:48:57.060 I think he's a gang member.

01:48:59.160 He's just a regular guy.

01:49:00.340 In order to keep the integrity of what you're doing, I think you got it.

01:49:04.000 Like, it's annoying.

01:49:05.300 Yeah.

01:49:05.680 But you know what?

01:49:06.440 If you made a mistake, bring him back, fix it.

01:49:09.140 Yeah, it's a waste.

01:49:09.940 But then all of a sudden, that's done.

01:49:11.900 He's out.

01:49:12.360 I just think it should be like that.

01:49:13.620 But then it sets a precedent where they do it for every single person they deported.

01:49:18.020 Because, you know, it's the give an inch, they take a mile, these liberal Democrats.

01:49:23.560 So you let them do that.

01:49:25.100 Give him an inch, and I claimed I had eight. 1.00

01:49:31.200 Give him an inch.

01:49:32.040 It still hurts.

01:49:35.620 They would do it for every single case.

01:49:39.840 You can't set a precedent.

01:49:41.640 Just, you're illegal here.

01:49:43.780 You know, get out.

01:49:45.380 I don't have any, because we had to do it legally,

01:49:47.640 so I don't have any desire to keep people who are illegal here.

01:49:52.180 Like, we had to deal with it for five years.

01:49:54.120 That's had to go through the nonsense or, you know, whatever it is.

01:49:57.980 Not maybe not nonsense.

01:49:58.940 Maybe it's the real way it should happen. 0.99

01:50:00.760 And then you see people come in here illegally and then you see them get like unbelievable benefits and stuff. 0.92

01:50:09.500 It's just not a fair way of doing it.

01:50:11.860 And I'm not like it's not fair.

01:50:13.540 It's just it has to be fair.

01:50:15.380 That's supposedly the way we we do things. 0.99

01:50:17.940 It does suck. 0.99

01:50:18.740 Yeah. 0.98

01:50:18.860 When I see money going.

01:50:19.940 Of course, I hate I hate seeing that.

01:50:21.920 Your money.

01:50:22.800 Yeah.

01:50:23.180 My heart.

01:50:24.120 Hard-earned.

01:50:25.360 But I don't like it. 1.00

01:50:27.180 Having dealt with immigration, though, like a lot, and I mean for years, it's antiquated the way they do it. 0.99

01:50:34.280 Like, it should be a 24-hour system. 0.98

01:50:36.580 Right, right.

01:50:37.060 It's banker's hours. 1.00

01:50:38.220 They still use the stupid U.S. postal. 1.00

01:50:40.680 What are you doing? 0.99

01:50:41.860 Like, there's so many ways to make it faster.

01:50:45.100 It should not be the nightmare experience, the bureaucratic sludge that it is.

01:50:51.720 Isn't that something that it takes years?

01:50:54.120 I think that's a tactic to get people to not want to do it, maybe.

01:51:01.540 You feel like it's never going to end, but you have to do it right.

01:51:04.880 Like, my lawyer was, like, literally everything has to be right.

01:51:12.380 And he said it has to stand up to scrutiny.

01:51:14.160 And I had a great lawyer.

01:51:15.560 I was very lucky.

01:51:17.080 But, like, I don't know.

01:51:19.780 I asked.

01:51:20.980 I demanded he tell me, and he just wouldn't.

01:51:23.420 He showed me his, I say that, I forgot where I was.

01:51:27.620 But I caught myself.

01:51:29.460 Close. 1.00

01:51:30.860 You know, it's just a pain in the ass. 0.99

01:51:32.680 They should do 24 hours. 0.99

01:51:34.880 I think the court system should be 24 hours.

01:51:37.040 Like, more people are employed, more judges, more court people.

01:51:39.420 Yeah, there's really no reason that things take years.

01:51:42.900 You should be able to do it at night.

01:51:44.900 To get done.

01:51:45.540 If you're willing to.

01:51:46.480 Like, are you willing to come at 2 in the morning if we haven't?

01:51:48.880 Yes, I am.

01:51:49.580 No, I'm not.

01:51:50.860 Speed it up.

01:51:51.560 There are people running typewriters, like old school typewriters, to do paperwork for things like immigration and in the judicial system.

01:52:01.980 And why is that with all the money that is being thrown around that we've seen, I think, because of things like Trump and Elon and Doge, we just see the corruption and waste going on.

01:52:13.420 And why isn't our system up to date where there's still people clickety-clacking away on typewriters for things that are pretty important and should be expedient?

01:52:26.940 Because they don't care.

01:52:28.660 They're working for the government.

01:52:30.280 They don't care.

01:52:31.120 It doesn't personally mean anything to them.

01:52:32.780 It has no effect on their life.

01:52:34.320 So what do they care for?

01:52:35.260 I typically don't care about things that have no effect on me.

01:52:38.340 I'm like, so what?

01:52:40.220 Big deal.

01:52:41.080 Big whoop.

01:52:43.420 Well, we'll be back in a matter of moments with Jim Norton on the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:52:52.760 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:52:59.900 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:53:06.340 Yes.

01:53:07.100 Welcome back, Anthony Cumia Show, on a great Memorial Day weekend Sunday.

01:53:15.540 Wondrous.

01:53:17.280 You want to give myself and Mr. Jim Norton a call here at the station?

01:53:22.760 800-848-9222.

01:53:26.080 That would be 800-848-9222.

01:53:30.520 Ponder us.

01:53:31.980 Yes, give us a call and we'll chit-chat with you.

01:53:36.280 That's how we roll, yo.

01:53:40.600 Jimmy, obviously, his little hummingbird bladder needed a little relief.

01:53:46.720 He's got a bladder like a tiny little hummingbird.

01:53:50.520 I think the waist comes out all at once like a little bird.

01:53:54.100 What do you got there, Jim?

01:53:55.700 Wow.

01:53:56.320 A little snickety snack?

01:53:58.740 Some pretzels?

01:54:00.360 That I'm being very naughty in the snack room. 0.99

01:54:03.160 fat pig oinker 0.98

01:54:06.160 got himself a couple 0.99

01:54:07.260 another small bag of pretzels

01:54:09.020 and then back to the old diet tomorrow

01:54:10.580 it's Memorial Day weekend

01:54:11.640 you can cheat

01:54:13.360 it's a cheat weekend

01:54:14.840 I'm going to right after we leave here 0.97

01:54:16.560 I'm going to go catch monkey pox

01:54:19.140 again

01:54:20.900 yeah maybe people could call in

01:54:23.980 and we could chat with them

01:54:24.900 when you drive around

01:54:27.060 in New York City

01:54:28.760 you don't see what you used to 1.00

01:54:31.540 Because there were a lot of prostitutes in New York City, especially on the West Side. 0.97

01:54:37.940 West Side Highway by the Javits Center was like a lot.

01:54:42.220 How did that – because you look at Mayor Adams and de Blasio before him.

01:54:48.380 They really weren't putting the noose on a lot of the crime that was going on in this city.

01:54:55.720 And I know Giuliani really put a stop to all that.

01:54:58.860 But why hasn't that really come back like it was?

01:55:02.720 The internet, there's no need for it.

01:55:04.040 Like, years ago, I was riding around, and I would cruise for hours and look. 0.71

01:55:09.420 And I remember one time I would see hookers in cars, and they'd pull up next to you and proposition you from the cars so cops couldn't nail them. 0.92

01:55:16.820 So that was 20 years ago. 0.95

01:55:19.380 And then it started to, once the internet is what it is, it's easier for them, it's safer for them than standing on a corner to just do ads.

01:55:26.620 Everyone looks on their phone now, or they look online.

01:55:28.900 Like, why would you ride around for hours where you can just look for someone on an ad?

01:55:33.580 I think that's my theory.

01:55:34.960 The thing about that, like everything else, you just go online, instantly connected to somebody that wants to make a deal, and they don't have to stand out on the streets.

01:55:48.080 Because that's more dangerous for them, to getting arrested and also just getting beaten up or assaulted.

01:55:52.360 At least online.

01:55:53.800 Whatever you did.

01:55:55.040 What I did was very quick. 0.99

01:55:56.620 and didn't hurt at all i think i was a perfect trip just just perfect trick just flick my nipples 0.97

01:56:02.380 and just look at i mean i was so easy i was so easy oh just an easy few but they saw you coming 0.92

01:56:09.040 an easy few books relationship guy yeah i'm like as i'm driving him back so you don't need to do

01:56:14.720 this oh no you were saving them oh i i remember one time i was going to a sober dance i was probably

01:56:21.600 19 and i was driving this girl i used to love talking to them after we'd have sex so i was 0.91

01:56:26.500 driving this one girl back who's a white hooker i picked up in new jersey and i'll never forget 0.63

01:56:31.840 she goes why are you doing like a unicorn well no not quite that good hopefully but years later 0.99

01:56:38.800 i discovered that put your head down fella why are you a horn squatting me so i was driving

01:56:48.740 She goes, you don't need to be doing this.

01:56:50.940 Why are you doing this?

01:56:51.980 You're a good-looking guy.

01:56:53.400 Oh, she was telling you this.

01:56:55.240 Yeah, she was telling me this.

01:56:56.740 Oh.

01:56:58.440 But I always enjoyed chatting afterwards.

01:57:00.880 That was always fun.

01:57:01.840 Yeah, a little chit-chat.

01:57:03.180 A little chit-chat. 0.85

01:57:04.240 With a girl.

01:57:05.380 Yeah, just a little connection.

01:57:06.700 And did they just want to get out and get to the next guy?

01:57:09.220 I mean, no, it was easy.

01:57:10.380 Again, I was never into being a complete menace.

01:57:14.160 So I think that I was an easy one compared to what else might have been out there

01:57:18.360 in that neighborhood.

01:57:19.180 Did you try to bargain?

01:57:20.620 Or were you like,

01:57:21.420 whatever the price was,

01:57:22.540 I'm paying?

01:57:23.120 No, I very rarely would bargain.

01:57:24.620 Not in person.

01:57:25.580 Did you ever get robbed?

01:57:27.320 No, but my one boss did.

01:57:29.300 I had a very fat boss

01:57:31.000 and I worked for a company.

01:57:32.600 When did you work for E-Rock?

01:57:34.240 He's not even here,

01:57:35.400 the poor kid.

01:57:36.020 He's not even here,

01:57:36.660 the poor little whale.

01:57:41.440 It's just...

01:57:42.680 And never ends.

01:57:44.040 Never.

01:57:44.600 I would...

01:57:46.860 This one... 0.98

01:57:47.500 I'll tell you, her name was Pam was her first name. 1.00

01:57:49.780 And she was a short-haired gal, very attractive.

01:57:53.060 She looked like the boat captain from Apocalypse Now.

01:57:55.800 And she would – and she would – and she was – not the best-looking, but very skilled. 0.79

01:58:06.420 So one time she came around where I was working, and my boss at the time wanted to – and he was an older, fat guy.

01:58:12.440 And I'm like, just take your wallet out and put it in your desk.

01:58:16.360 Don't have it in your pocket because they go through your pocket.

01:58:18.640 The best of them do it.

01:58:20.260 And I came back to work on Monday. 0.83

01:58:22.340 Jim, she took my money.

01:58:24.520 I go, what happened? 1.00

01:58:25.240 Because she took my wallet.

01:58:26.960 I'm like, was it in your pants?

01:58:28.160 He goes, yeah.

01:58:28.920 I'm like, you got it.

01:58:30.040 Did he have a spear in his chest? 0.97

01:58:34.460 Oh, wait, the girl looked like him. 0.97

01:58:37.000 Okay.

01:58:37.640 I got confused.

01:58:38.620 No, no, no.

01:58:39.100 She did.

01:58:39.640 Yeah.

01:58:40.460 Yes.

01:58:41.360 I'm going to take your wallet on the Nung River, Captain.

01:58:45.880 but uh yeah she took his wallet and i'm like i told you like so did i ever get robbed

01:58:54.260 um i might have i don't think so no i was but i'm very paranoid and careful yeah like i was

01:59:01.400 really did you ever have to deal with a pimp or anything like a guy intermediary that was

01:59:06.580 threatening sometimes but never anything threatening no but again i have a pretty

01:59:10.600 good instinct and i would ride around for like i would make sure the coast was clear and i would

01:59:15.760 talk to them a little bit i was very meticulous like even in the midst of crazy addiction i wasn't

01:59:21.180 so reckless that i was like anybody in like i was paranoid always paranoid um so no never and

01:59:28.140 if something felt weird the energy felt aggressive yeah uh i told you one time i went into this

01:59:34.780 building on second avenue and uh it was supposed to be like this massage and it was a railroad

01:59:40.060 apartment and i walked in i handed it was like 300 bucks i handed her the money and then she

01:59:44.420 went to the door and like handed it to someone outside the door and then i sat with her and it

01:59:48.960 was a blackened out railroad apartment there was like fruit flies in the bathtub with like

01:59:53.740 burger king wrappers it looked almost abandoned and we sat on the couch and she was holding a

01:59:58.740 screwdriver whoa and i got the feeling that someone else was in the room with us like that

02:00:03.980 there was someone because the lights were out and i'm like someone else it was a it was a crazy

02:00:08.740 animal instinct, and I just

02:00:10.840 left. Wow. I told her, yeah, I'm not feeling it.

02:00:12.760 I let her keep the money. I'm like, something bad

02:00:15.000 is going to happen. You let her keep the money.

02:00:16.620 You ran for your life. I just

02:00:18.480 had a bad...

02:00:20.400 It came over me. All my

02:00:22.680 instincts were like, get out of here right now.

02:00:24.880 This is what you're trying to... Trying a bear mask.

02:00:27.380 Giving favors to a

02:00:28.760 man on a bed. 0.74

02:00:30.360 Danny! Danny!

02:00:32.340 That was many years ago. I went and saw Colin that night

02:00:34.680 wherever he was. That was probably

02:00:36.220 20 years ago, but I just remembered something

02:00:38.720 bad's going to happen. Get out of here.

02:00:40.680 I'm sure she thought of that when I walked in.

02:00:42.680 Be right back.

02:00:44.020 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the

02:00:46.660 Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:00:50.700 A safer Ontario means more

02:00:52.620 police and prosecutors making sure my

02:00:54.600 car doesn't get stolen. It means

02:00:56.500 building new jails to keep criminals behind

02:00:58.740 bars. And it means there's

02:01:00.540 no need to worry when I play at the park.

02:01:04.520 Ontario safer to make all of

02:01:21.400 It's the Anthony

02:01:22.600 Cumia Show. Entertaining

02:01:24.260 and informative. On the Red Apple

02:01:26.540 Podcast Network.

02:01:28.660 Yes, the Anthony Cumia Show.

02:01:30.740 Wasn't that, I think that

02:01:32.480 was Bill O'Reilly saying they were doing what

02:01:34.460 they paid to do. Shock.

02:01:37.020 Was it? I don't remember.

02:01:38.140 No, I didn't hear the clip.

02:01:38.820 I think it was.

02:01:39.900 Me and Opie had done an interview with Bill O'Reilly many years ago.

02:01:44.900 It was a special on horrible things in the media. 0.95

02:01:50.140 And we were featured on it as just pieces of garbage, which we were, of course. 0.97

02:01:55.580 Accurate portrayal. 0.99

02:01:56.180 Yes, yes.

02:01:57.520 And it came off very confrontational because that was what Bill was doing at the time and everything.

02:02:04.940 And we were the shock jocks.

02:02:06.500 So, pretty interesting.

02:02:08.540 I'll be filling in for Mr. O'Reilly this Monday, Monday through Friday this week from 9 to 10 p.m.

02:02:16.260 That's a nice time slot.

02:02:17.420 Yeah, yeah.

02:02:18.620 I'm in.

02:02:19.600 6 to 9 East Coast?

02:02:21.700 Or 6 to 7?

02:02:23.100 No, East Coast, it's 9.

02:02:25.360 It's 9 to 10.

02:02:27.360 I meant West Coast.

02:02:28.680 West Coast is three hours earlier.

02:02:31.600 Yeah, so it would be 6 to 7.

02:02:33.420 It works.

02:02:33.720 I was wrong.

02:02:34.380 Not only should I have shut up, but I will in the future. 1.00

02:02:40.780 No time zone, no one idiot. 1.00

02:02:56.220 that I wasn't supposed to be listening to.

02:04:27.680 But that's okay.

02:04:28.540 Okay.

02:04:29.080 You got the, you're a little bit on the mean side.

02:04:32.340 We tend to be.

02:04:33.880 We're just rekindling our old meanness from the last century.

02:04:38.200 Yeah, we apologize.

02:04:39.440 No, I don't care.

02:04:41.040 You're a wonderful girl, Sandra.

02:04:42.400 You call me every week, and I appreciate it.

02:04:44.540 She's a spinner. 0.78

02:04:45.500 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

02:04:46.240 She's a spinner, teeth fly out at the fish deck.

02:04:48.080 So what do you think about what you said about heavy people on planes?

02:04:51.760 That's why I called.

02:04:52.740 Yeah, I believe that, like, you have to pay extra for your baggage if it's over 50 pounds.

02:04:59.800 That heavy people should have to pay extra or buy two seats.

02:05:04.260 I was shoved in between two very rotund men in coach class flying from Atlanta to Greenville.

02:05:13.320 Thank God it was a short flight.

02:05:15.340 But their underarm fat and their rolls were piling into me.

02:05:22.040 It was wet and fat and sweaty and hot.

02:05:25.880 I know.

02:05:26.840 Yeah.

02:05:27.340 They should be kicked out with Operation Dumbo Drop. 1.00

02:05:30.180 Get those oinkers off the plane. 1.00

02:05:31.680 Yes. 1.00

02:05:32.580 Yes.

02:05:33.540 Why?

02:05:34.220 Why can they charge you?

02:05:36.120 Like, I weigh myself, and then I'll put 50 pounds on for luggage, right?

02:05:40.600 Why then, if that is lower than a fat person with carry-on, why the hell do I have to pay?

02:05:49.040 I know.

02:05:49.660 I understand what you're saying.

02:05:51.200 I'm not saying you're wrong.

02:05:53.060 I have a question for Anthony, dear.

02:05:55.660 What?

02:05:55.960 Now, I remember that.

02:05:57.060 Your flight got delayed or something, right?

02:05:58.860 Yes.

02:05:59.200 It was terrible, tragic.

02:06:00.420 Why wouldn't you just drive?

02:06:01.840 What was that, a three-hour drive?

02:06:03.480 Why would you rent a car and drive?

02:06:05.580 How tiny was the plane you were on?

02:06:07.640 It wasn't.

02:06:08.140 I think it was a 737.

02:06:10.260 Actually, from Atlanta to Greenville.

02:06:12.240 Really?

02:06:12.600 By the time they got up, they were already coming down.

02:06:15.140 Why didn't you just drive three hours?

02:06:16.040 No, I'm not going to drive.

02:06:18.440 It's 2025.

02:06:20.460 What am I going to do?

02:06:20.880 Why didn't you take a Conestoga wagon, Anthony?

02:06:24.920 There are horses in Atlanta.

02:06:26.700 You could clippity-clop your way to Greenville.

02:06:30.540 Dude, I drive so much more when I can because of the flying at the airport.

02:06:34.700 But you don't mind the bumps.

02:06:35.940 You don't care.

02:06:36.720 I don't care.

02:06:38.020 If I can get somewhere, even if – because I had to wait a day.

02:06:42.040 I had to spend an evening in Atlanta, which for me wasn't very nice.

02:06:46.200 I mean, absolutely.

02:06:46.960 Trust me.

02:06:47.560 They weren't happy you were there.

02:06:48.880 No, of course not.

02:06:50.180 But I would rather wait and fly than drive that time.

02:06:56.040 I hate driving long distances.

02:06:58.340 Short distances in a nice sports car, I love it.

02:07:01.780 Get me in there.

02:07:02.700 The second it's over an hour and a half, going into two hours, I'm done.

02:07:06.780 I hate it.

02:07:07.560 So you went, I just drove to D.C. last week.

02:07:09.960 I'm doing, I forgot, I'm doing Ridgefield and Kingston, New York next week.

02:07:13.880 One's an hour, one's like two hours.

02:07:16.020 Like to Boston I drive.

02:07:17.400 Like you'll fly to Boston?

02:07:19.440 Oh, hell yeah.

02:07:20.540 From New York, you mean.

02:07:21.720 Yeah.

02:07:21.960 Because obviously South Carolina I would fly.

02:07:23.740 I would drive to South Carolina.

02:07:25.000 But I had a gig in Florida at the Black Box in Boca.

02:07:31.760 And I flew there.

02:07:33.400 How long would the drive have been?

02:07:34.820 The drive probably would have been maybe five hours, I guess. 1.00

02:07:37.340 you're crazy

02:07:37.920 I would drive in a second 1.00

02:07:38.920 I get on that plane

02:07:39.940 I'm there

02:07:40.720 I'm at the hotel

02:07:41.500 by the pool

02:07:42.300 by the time you'd

02:07:43.380 you know

02:07:43.720 you'd still be putting it in drive

02:07:45.380 yeah

02:07:45.840 I understand

02:07:46.480 hey Sandra

02:07:48.100 I'm saying goodbye to you

02:07:49.000 yes

02:07:49.420 anything else dear

02:07:51.120 no I was about to say

02:07:52.820 I'm going to say goodbye to you guys

02:07:54.140 oh thank you

02:07:54.880 because you guys love to talk to each other

02:07:55.880 I enjoy listening to you

02:07:57.220 you're very funny

02:07:57.860 me and Jimmy

02:07:58.700 are dear friends

02:07:59.760 we did a radio show

02:08:01.020 back for many years

02:08:02.340 and

02:08:02.840 we've kept in touch

02:08:04.720 as dear friends

02:08:05.640 and we're just having

02:08:06.240 a little conversation

02:08:06.940 A little different this Sunday, Sandra.

02:08:09.240 We actually used to do radio, and it was so crazy.

02:08:13.700 We both got called to this house and went in for the same slice of pizza.

02:08:19.040 Wow.

02:08:20.100 You know, can I say something?

02:08:21.200 Then we reconnected on Grindr.

02:08:24.700 Yes, Sandra, you can say something, of course.

02:08:27.500 Today, for my holiday, I got together with a friend that I know from many, many years ago.

02:08:33.880 So it was really nice to see someone that I knew a while ago and, you know,

02:08:38.600 just see each other and remember things, just like you guys are doing.

02:08:42.840 Yes.

02:08:45.380 Not like you guys.

02:08:46.980 You should submit that to WorstStoriesEver.com.

02:08:51.980 What could I tell you?

02:08:53.580 I can't figure you out. 1.00

02:08:56.340 No, no, don't even try, Sandra.

02:08:58.860 Thank you, dear, though.

02:08:59.960 Thank you for the call.

02:09:00.780 We do a good egg. 0.97

02:09:03.880 Holy crap. 0.98

02:09:08.640 Worst. 0.99

02:09:09.640 Oh, my God.

02:09:10.920 Oh, she thought that was going to be a good capper for the good nightcap for the evening.

02:09:16.060 Well, we're all rekindling.

02:09:18.860 All right.

02:09:19.820 Godspeed.

02:09:20.280 Anyone else?

02:09:21.040 I don't want to take any political call.

02:09:22.920 We could clear the phones.

02:09:24.340 And if you have anything else for me and Jimmy Norton, 800-848-9222.

02:09:30.920 But two, speaking of planes though, Jimmy, you had to have seen this.

02:09:35.860 You're a man.

02:09:37.600 You know what's going on in the news.

02:09:39.900 Yeah.

02:09:40.340 The stand-up seats in airplanes.

02:09:45.080 They're talking about that.

02:09:45.580 I think it was Ryanair in Ireland they were talking about doing that.

02:09:48.860 Yeah.

02:09:49.940 Where they have them.

02:09:51.520 These are different.

02:09:52.600 There were ones that were stacked up almost.

02:09:55.160 That's different, yeah. 0.99

02:09:55.820 Your face is right where the ass of the person sitting above you is. 1.00

02:10:03.140 But I don't think that their ass is in your face. 1.00

02:10:04.900 I think it's almost like. 0.99

02:10:05.980 No, it's a new one.

02:10:06.900 Right.

02:10:07.440 Where they're very close together, and it doesn't have a seat for you to sit in.

02:10:11.900 It's kind of this angled thing with a bump where your groin goes.

02:10:16.900 Yeah, you're kind of standing.

02:10:17.740 So you don't slide off of it, and you're standing.

02:10:20.740 It looks like the most uncomfortable thing you could possibly sit in.

02:10:24.380 I would try it once, though.

02:10:25.700 It's probably, I'm going to guess, for like two and a half hour flights or less.

02:10:29.220 I'm going to guess it's for shorter flights.

02:10:31.140 Insanity.

02:10:31.640 I wouldn't do this for 15 minutes. 1.00

02:10:33.980 And the one I was talking about, the ass, I think that the guy's ass is not in your face. 0.99

02:10:38.000 I think there's the plastic. 0.99

02:10:39.440 The seat moves in.

02:10:40.780 I don't think you're actually seeing it.

02:10:42.040 Really?

02:10:42.600 I think so, yeah.

02:10:43.500 Because the seat is there.

02:10:45.280 The picture I saw, they put a pretty girl in the top seat.

02:10:49.220 Oh.

02:10:49.740 So you're sitting there and going, yeah, I wouldn't mind.

02:10:52.140 A little waft.

02:10:53.000 Yeah, normally I have to put my head in a box for this view.

02:10:55.700 a little loft would be nice yeah maybe she has a mexican food a little like if it's you or

02:11:04.720 florentine sitting up there you're in deep trouble gonna be a problem so i i don't know i i i wax

02:11:12.300 fantastic as they say about the good old days of uh real first class like you get a first class

02:11:20.180 flight now, if it's two hours

02:11:22.060 or less, it's

02:11:24.080 not first class. They should just call it

02:11:26.000 kind of a bigger seat

02:11:27.760 and that's really the only thing

02:11:30.200 you're getting. They do business now internationally.

02:11:32.520 It's like a lot of the three class

02:11:34.240 services are no good. They just have business

02:11:36.300 and coach. You take low

02:11:38.140 class? Call me

02:11:40.260 when you have no class. No class.

02:11:42.280 All right. Yeah, but I

02:11:43.680 I'm flying business to England.

02:11:46.420 I won't fly coach to England, but I'm using

02:11:48.220 miles and it's costing me

02:11:49.980 All of my United miles, like 500,000 miles to go round-trip business.

02:11:56.000 And what airline is that? 0.96

02:11:57.940 I'm doing United out of Newark, which, I mean, literally, I couldn't be stupider. 0.95

02:12:05.680 They really have screwed the pooch on their care traffic controller there. 0.97

02:12:09.540 They've always been terrible. 1.00

02:12:10.960 I've been flying down to Newark for 30 years. 1.00

02:12:12.380 They suck. 0.99

02:12:13.380 They've always sucked, and they've just gotten exponentially worse. 1.00

02:12:16.900 They don't have money to do what they need to do. 0.90

02:12:21.360 And infrastructure, like you could have the money, but if you don't have the person that's going to put the refurbation in place, they're using systems that are so old.

02:12:33.380 They're so old.

02:12:34.940 How old are they?

02:12:37.440 They have moths flying out of there. 0.99

02:12:40.640 Boop.

02:12:40.920 I was, one time I said, we're going to land.

02:12:44.060 And they said, is this Amelia Earhart?

02:12:45.780 Ed.

02:12:49.620 70-year-olds are rolling.

02:12:51.500 They are just, they're barely remembering what we're talking about.

02:12:57.580 Yeah, so going to England, though, you have to, you cannot fly coach for a flight that long.

02:13:04.860 Especially 2025 coach.

02:13:07.220 No, I mean, hopefully I'll be able to just relax a little bit.

02:13:10.320 And I'm also, because it's such a fun thing to do, you know, since I left SiriusXM and I parted ways.

02:13:16.620 Yes.

02:13:17.120 I've been a little more cautious with money, doing a lot more road work.

02:13:20.640 Gotcha.

02:13:21.100 Yeah, a little bit more, like, making sure.

02:13:24.000 That's what you got to do. 1.00

02:13:24.900 Not stupid. 1.00

02:13:25.760 You don't want to be stupid. 1.00

02:13:27.220 So, you know, I'll use miles. 1.00

02:13:28.760 I'm not going to just spring for a seat.

02:13:31.300 The flight over there, though, coach would be a nightmare, especially these days.

02:13:38.240 I look at some of these old films where they're like, here they are on the Pan Am Clipper going to Europe.

02:13:46.980 And they're rolling a giant roast beef down the aisle with a chef with the big chef hat on and a carving knife, a giant machete.

02:14:00.900 And this is for Coach.

02:14:05.600 This is for Coach.

02:14:07.680 But back then, though, here's the disadvantage.

02:14:10.080 Yeah.

02:14:10.460 Those planes, like the Clipper and stuff, didn't they fly at, like, a lot of them flew at, like, 13,000 or 14,000 feet?

02:14:16.800 They're a little higher, but not under the weather.

02:14:19.020 You were right through it.

02:14:20.320 They would have vomit buckets.

02:14:22.100 They would give you, like, buckets to throw up. 0.89

02:14:24.340 Roast beef and vomit buckets.

02:14:25.700 Yeah, on the Clipper.

02:14:27.720 And they had some of those cool, like, bongs that you could sleep in.

02:14:30.900 Yeah.

02:14:31.020 There were some amazing lounges and stuff.

02:14:34.960 And here's another thing.

02:14:35.920 I did it again.

02:14:38.540 I mean, I did it again. 0.98

02:14:41.000 You know, I thought I didn't curse because I didn't put the N part on.

02:14:44.440 No, not the N part. 0.99

02:14:45.800 The F-N. 0.82

02:14:46.960 Yeah. 0.92

02:14:47.340 I just said the F part, but that's a curse, too. 0.77

02:14:50.240 Yeah, you don't have to put the N at the end of it. 0.79

02:14:52.040 Yeah, yeah, I get that.

02:14:55.700 It's one of the things about flying that I hate now.

02:14:59.880 They don't...

02:15:00.840 Oh, God, now I curse, so I can't really recall what I said.

02:15:05.920 Oh, they don't?

02:15:06.980 It's terrible.

02:15:07.820 I thought it was professional.

02:15:09.960 But I'm not.

02:15:12.400 Yeah, corn pop.

02:15:15.560 Because I curse.

02:15:16.660 You were saying about flying in the old days.

02:15:19.740 Yeah, the good old roast beef.

02:15:21.460 The good old roast beef flying.

02:15:23.780 No, it's never coming back.

02:15:25.800 It's never coming back.

02:15:27.960 Let's talk to Rose.

02:15:30.020 Oh, my God.

02:15:31.320 Rose in Florida.

02:15:32.000 Hi, Rose. 0.73

02:15:49.320 Did you feel bad when he fell off the door at the end of the movie into the ocean?

02:15:54.360 No, no movie.

02:15:56.100 I just felt bad when you're not your real self.

02:15:59.020 and I really like you guys because the world today needs the reality.

02:16:05.060 And down here in the villages, you know it's a retirement community down here?

02:16:17.960 Oh, my God.

02:16:18.820 There's so much this and that.

02:16:20.140 And they put pom-poms on their carts if they're single.

02:16:23.380 A lot of swapping.

02:16:24.420 Is there swapping going on and swinging?

02:16:27.100 No.

02:16:27.840 Down in the villages?

02:16:29.020 They're too old.

02:16:30.700 Well, what are you doing down there then, you young whippersnapper? 0.87

02:16:43.920 In the villages in Florida.

02:16:46.820 What kind of theater do you do?

02:16:48.800 Were you playing the Grim Reaper? 0.98

02:16:51.300 No, not the Grim Reaper, goddammit.

02:16:53.340 I really do a lot of good stuff because I did theater up in New York.

02:16:56.880 I came from New York.

02:16:58.560 Hey, yeah.

02:16:59.840 Okay.

02:17:00.500 All right.

02:17:00.880 And I was a coal miner's daughter before I went to New York.

02:17:04.260 So it was pretty good life.

02:17:07.860 Yes, I was.

02:17:09.460 I love you guys so much.

02:17:12.100 Can I tell you something?

02:17:20.820 You said you retired.

02:17:22.400 Don't retire.

02:17:23.800 You said you retired?

02:17:25.820 What?

02:17:27.340 I didn't say I retired.

02:17:29.840 I said I was pulling back on the throttle a little bit.

02:17:31.940 That voice said he should.

02:17:34.080 Oh, Jesus, God.

02:17:35.480 I said I was pulling back on the throttle a little bit.

02:17:38.640 Yeah, you're retired.

02:17:39.540 You know, and then I wind up getting more.

02:17:42.100 I wind up having more responsibility and work than I ever had before I pulled the throttle back.

02:17:47.960 That's all.

02:17:48.580 Well, boys, don't pull back on your throttles ever.

02:17:52.620 Yes, that's what I have to say.

02:21:44.000 She said she was

02:21:47.680 She said she was 74

02:21:50.340 And Jimmy Hoshy 1.00

02:22:39.060 it's am new york am radio that's our demo i'm you know in my 60s that's this is how it works

02:22:47.380 but you do think back and it's you kind of got to equate it to because i saw like guns and roses

02:22:53.920 and a few of these other bands where the clientele you know they still dress they try to dress the

02:23:01.760 same yeah but they are way older than the girls that used to listen sure to uh and go to the

02:23:07.900 concerts and stuff so it's just the nature of the beast it's the nature of the beast sometimes the

02:23:14.280 beast calls i'm kidding yeah i'm kidding we love you thank everybody that called uh this evening

02:23:22.900 we we adore you yeah i wish i had a if i did a jack parr impression i would get late after this

02:23:29.520 oh my god yes the anthony comia show on the dumont network

02:23:38.500 oh boy sponsored by geritol and yeah uh it happened you know hey we all we all get a

02:23:49.580 little older here sure this is what um this is what happens i saw a clip i guess metallic was

02:23:58.800 playing and at some point when the band is doing something james comes down off stage he sits in a

02:24:05.560 chair and like gets the wax off of his earbuds and puts them back in and blows his nose and and

02:24:13.040 lights a cigar yeah takes a sip of a beverage and just sits there and it's like yeah and a lot of

02:24:19.780 people say uh that in the comments it was like i bet he just wants to be home at this point do you

02:24:27.460 I think a band like Metallica, and you're talking stadiums packed with more people than I don't think any other band could outdraw.

02:24:36.160 Any other rock band could outdraw Metallica.

02:24:37.960 Maybe the Stones.

02:24:39.060 Yeah, at this point.

02:24:42.100 But do you think you get tired of that?

02:24:45.860 That?

02:24:46.840 He does it before the show, too, as he's waiting for the music.

02:24:49.820 I think he's just taking a break during a drum solo.

02:24:52.860 I'm not necessarily saying what he did there indicates that he's tired of it.

02:24:57.180 like that's great if you could step off stage take a breather take a cigar and drink that's

02:25:02.540 great but like just the time that how long how many times do you do it to where you just go

02:25:10.600 i kind of want to just be home yeah much fun i don't i i maybe but when you're still doing

02:25:16.220 stadiums when you're still that relevant good point it feels probably like it did 30 years ago

02:25:22.860 Like, we still pack that with pretty young people in their 30s.

02:25:26.560 Yeah, no, Metallica pulls a young crowd, too.

02:25:28.820 Like, when you still see that, it probably makes you feel like, wow, man.

02:25:32.160 Rose isn't at a Metallica show.

02:25:33.720 No, not at all.

02:25:34.800 No, she's not. 0.94

02:25:35.740 I'm going to see a lumen foil like a boo. 1.00

02:25:39.680 A boo. 0.93

02:25:40.280 A boo.

02:25:41.100 But it's probably easier then than a band, like when you look at like a Smokey Robinson

02:25:45.080 or Frankie Valli, who aren't moving well.

02:25:47.960 Frankie Valli isn't even singing.

02:25:49.320 But he sounds just like the record.

02:25:50.760 Oh, boy.

02:25:51.460 I saw Frankie Valli at the Westbury Music Fair years ago, and he was lip-syncing then.

02:25:58.600 You were lip-syncing then, and you did nothing.

02:26:01.320 But now he's just kind of, it's not even matching up.

02:26:03.700 He looks catatonic.

02:26:05.360 Yeah.

02:26:05.980 And again, I can't like Joe Biden with Jill Biden.

02:26:10.060 I think there's people shoving them out there that just make them work because they could still make some money.

02:26:17.600 It's oof.

02:26:18.320 They might like working, too, just because, hey, what else are you going to do?

02:26:21.360 if you're not working, you're dead.

02:26:22.300 I don't think he's at any position to even think

02:26:24.960 if he wants to or not.

02:26:26.660 But like you were saying with Metallica,

02:26:28.080 yeah, you're packing stadiums still.

02:26:29.400 It's a lot of arenas like that.

02:26:31.600 Yeah, I could see that.

02:26:33.320 You still feel like you're creating

02:26:34.580 and you're moving forward

02:26:36.220 and you're on the mountaintop

02:26:37.640 and you've stayed there for 30 years.

02:26:38.980 Right, right.

02:26:39.680 Like, you did a new record recently.

02:26:42.120 They're still doing music.

02:26:43.320 People love them.

02:26:44.560 Like, maybe you just want to go home.

02:26:47.680 You might, but they'd probably take a break.

02:26:49.460 I don't know.

02:26:49.720 But Hedfield looks like he's really enjoying himself.

02:26:51.600 He does.

02:26:52.180 He does.

02:26:52.720 He's the definitive rock guy.

02:26:56.520 Yeah.

02:26:56.900 It's amazing.

02:26:57.560 And he has been forever.

02:26:58.920 We're going to take off for the evening.

02:27:02.140 Yes, we are.

02:27:02.740 I'll be back here tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. with Curtis Lewa to do the show, Sid and Friends show.
