The Anthony Cumia Show - The Anthony Cumia Show ft. Jim Norton ｜ 05-25-25

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.

00:03:31.520 Yeah.

00:03:31.720 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...

00:03:57.760 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, private eyes, the potato eyes, they're watching you.

00:05:21.440 Nah, no good.

00:05:22.580 No.

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

00:05:29.780 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

00:06:17.000 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.

00:06:30.020 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

00:09:46.220 i 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.

00:11:49.220 Like, 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, I 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,

00:12:43.680 I'm sorry, 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

00:12:53.180 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're going to die alone.

00:13:49.060 You have no kids. 1.00

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.

00:14:08.980 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.

00:14:29.040 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?

00:14:47.320 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.

00:14:55.040 They're telling us to have to go.

00:14:57.780 No, in a matter of moments, we'll be back with the Anthony Cumia Show and Jim Norton.

00:15:03.820 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:15:11.680 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:15:13.980 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.

00:18:28.620 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 stores, do you see what Mayor Adams has done over the course of his tenure as mayor here 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 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's, the baby's 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, and I think all parents should like, they should

00:22:10.140 just kind of give like, hey sorry, 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 don't like that.

00:22:34.180 I want a nice fly.

00:22:35.580 I paid for it.

00:22:37.620 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.

00:29:13.380 By the way, I wouldn't want to hear any political stuff.

00:29:15.680 I don't care.

00:29:16.600 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.

00:30:56.320 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.

00:31:50.820 Yeah.

00:31:51.220 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.

00:32:01.300 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.

00:32:11.000 But, I mean, like, he didn't make it easier when he's going, we want to make him the 51st state.

00:32:15.500 I mean, that literally is obnoxious.

00:32:18.240 I mean, what do I want?

00:32:20.060 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.

00:32:43.400 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

00:33:36.680 Amish. They all do. Yeah. Yeah. We don't know where that is. Yeah. I don't know what he's doing 1.00

00:33:43.820 with that stuff. Like, I don't know what's real. But that kind of went away. Yeah. He's not really

00:33:48.640 talking about that. I think he just comes up with things to get people mad and talking and angry.

00:33:54.840 I think he likes getting his opposition all wound up about stuff that means nothing. Imagine

00:34:01.380 sitting in the Oval Office and

00:34:03.100 you say these things and then you're

00:34:05.560 just watching what's coming in and you

00:34:07.560 gotta laugh.

00:34:09.260 They're believing this? I can't

00:34:11.620 believe how stupid they are. 1.00

00:34:13.100 It's gotta be fun for him. 1.00

00:34:15.740 He's a guy from

00:34:17.420 New York that was in construction.

00:34:20.540 You don't think he 0.99

00:34:21.440 loves busting balls? 0.99

00:34:23.560 I mean, it might be some of that, yeah. 0.99

00:34:25.460 I just don't know.

00:34:26.740 I honestly don't know. I don't really care.

00:34:29.460 I don't blame Canada for being a little pissed off at that, like of all the things.

00:34:34.800 I get it, but kind of take a joke 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.

00:34:44.740 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.

00:34:52.660 We talked.

00:34:53.000 It was all fighting.

00:34:54.380 There was no politics because it was a year ago July.

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

00:34:58.360 Right.

00:34:58.840 He didn't want to talk politics.

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

00:35:00.820 Oh, he would have.

00:35:01.240 But Dana said, like, look, man, this is the UFC.

00:35:03.200 And I got it.

00:35:04.480 He's like, this is a sports podcast.

00:35:05.940 Dana White?

00:35:07.180 Dana White.

00:35:07.780 No, no, 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

00:35:21.000 But no, Dana's like, look, man, don't be crazy.

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

00:35:24.060 And he's like, I got it.

00:35:24.920 He was right.

00:35:25.500 Like, we talked all boxing.

00:35:27.320 That's his.

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

00:35:29.220 Screw it up, right.

00:35:30.220 And he also liked Trump a lot, and he wanted another side of Trump to be shown.

00:35:37.740 You know what I mean?

00:35:38.480 Just the personality without anything that people are just going to jump onto for no reason.

00:35:42.740 Right, right.

00:35:43.360 And he was great.

00:35:44.100 He was really—his memory was amazing.

00:35:46.960 People thought we had cue cards up for him because he was remembering so many fights, 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.

00:35:56.100 Were you nervous?

00:35:57.720 I was, but I also, Nikki came with me, and she said, she goes, you didn't seem nervous at all.

00:36:04.140 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

00:37:02.560 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 get more of a

00:42:34.500 balance

00:42:36.300 to let 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

00:42:46.340 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.

00:44:44.760 I'm like, where is he?

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

00:44:46.880 I was like, oh, God.

00:44:47.880 I was going to say, hopefully it was Rich Voss.

00:44:50.700 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

00:47:58.860 jimmy it's it's goddamn broadcast radio no it's i i oh we have to and we have to take a break 0.93

00:48:06.280 what was i saying oh chapelle remind yes i will dave chapelle we will be back in seconds don't 0.98

00:48:14.100 Don't go anywhere.

00:48:14.700 Anthony Cumia with Jim Norton.

00:48:16.680 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:48:24.420 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

00:48:26.740 Entertaining and informative.

00:48:28.820 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

00:48:32.240 The Anthony Cumia Show.

00:48:34.500 That's me.

00:48:35.700 Sure is.

00:48:37.200 Jim Norton here with me.

00:48:38.740 Interrupting like I've never done radio before.

00:48:40.640 You're actually coming back.

00:48:41.580 I'm like, talk, talk.

00:48:43.200 Me talk.

00:48:43.820 Humana, humana, Ed Norton.

00:48:47.060 My no instincts.

00:48:50.440 Yeah, now you wanted me to remind you what you were talking about before the break.

00:48:57.120 Oh, the Chappelle thing.

00:48:57.940 It was almost like we did, I did an interview with some, like a local paper a year ago maybe, on the West Coast.

00:49:05.180 And I record all my interviews now because they've misquoted me so many times.

00:49:09.060 There's been so many things I've got.

00:49:11.820 And he asked about Chappelle.

00:49:13.820 And I'm like, I don't agree with everything, but I like Dave.

00:49:16.420 I think he's a great comic.

00:49:17.340 And he should say what he wants.

00:49:18.680 Like, that's my view.

00:49:19.420 I don't care.

00:49:20.880 And the guy printed something about how I was, like, really angry with Dave Chappelle.

00:49:25.260 See what they do?

00:49:26.220 It was the polar opposite.

00:49:28.560 So I called the guy, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

00:49:31.360 I'm like, hey, man, your editor might have made a mistake.

00:49:34.420 Oh, that's a good tactic.

00:49:36.200 But I'm not mad.

00:49:37.080 I'm like, but I do record the interviews.

00:49:39.160 So I'm saying, if you tell your editor, like, I have the actual audio.

00:49:42.800 and I didn't say that at all.

00:49:44.020 I'm not mad at that.

00:49:44.660 But the piece is out already.

00:49:47.120 It was online.

00:49:47.720 They just bring it down and edit.

00:49:49.420 Oh, okay.

00:49:50.180 They edited it, and he did.

00:49:51.580 He fixed it.

00:49:52.620 But, I mean, you got to record when you're being interviewed.

00:49:54.600 Just record yourself because they literally clickbait,

00:49:57.420 and it's like, I didn't, that's not what I meant.

00:49:59.500 So I'm careful with how I judge other people now

00:50:01.860 because so many times they've gotten what I said wrong.

00:50:04.920 I'm like, I try not to believe almost anything.

00:50:08.200 Yeah, there didn't used to really be the technology to do that

00:50:11.320 for many years.

00:50:12.800 Not like you used to have to bring a big reel-to-reel in.

00:50:15.800 Well, I'll set this up while you do the interview.

00:50:20.180 But it almost seemed clandestine.

00:50:22.820 Like, oh, I've got to put a bug on me to make sure this guy isn't screwed. 0.71

00:50:36.940 You're just trying not to get screwed over by an interviewer.

00:50:41.580 and you have to feel like you're doing something against the rules.

00:50:45.660 Yes, I always bring them into the bathroom,

00:50:47.380 and I'll just have them talk into the toilet camp. 0.97

00:50:54.300 I've never thought of that.

00:50:56.700 Like, why do you want me to look into the tank?

00:50:58.480 I'm like, just do it, trust me.

00:50:59.640 That's a good one.

00:51:00.320 Better audio in here.

00:51:01.360 Yeah, but I record everything for that reason.

00:51:02.660 I don't believe that anybody won't screw you over.

00:51:06.700 They always will.

00:51:07.620 They always do, so I'm happy.

00:51:09.260 I was so happy I had that.

00:51:10.460 Yeah. And the thing being, of course, someone's going to think, well, Dave Chappelle has had his share of issues with the trans community.

00:51:20.940 And so, oh, if Jim Norton is talking about him and he's mad and Jim's wife is trans, then, oh, we got a great story here.

00:51:30.380 Yeah. And that to me seems, yeah, clickbaity. 0.61

00:51:34.040 Yeah. Dave's doing what he should do. He's a comic. Your job is to make me funny and express your opinion.

00:51:40.140 That's it.

00:51:40.760 That's your only obligation.

00:51:42.180 Your obligation isn't to stick up for anybody.

00:51:44.080 It's not to be right.

00:51:44.860 It's not to be wrong.

00:51:45.920 It's just to be funny and to be as truthful as you can.

00:51:48.720 Have you noticed a lot of people like fans being negative with you over Mary and Nikki?

00:51:57.740 Nah, I think they know I don't care.

00:52:00.200 I've talked about it for so long.

00:52:01.540 And some of them are like, I didn't know.

00:52:02.760 And it's like, well, then you haven't paid attention for 20 years. 1.00

00:52:05.840 What do you want me to tell you, stupid? 1.00

00:52:07.960 What do you want me to tell you? 1.00

00:52:09.160 I mean, the tap dancing under the porch.

00:52:11.880 My special was called Mouthful of Shame.

00:52:14.740 How many, what do you want me to tell you?

00:52:16.660 You think that is broccoli?

00:52:18.660 Exactly.

00:52:20.640 No, it's the same color as cauliflower.

00:52:27.240 But you know what I mean?

00:52:28.180 Like, I don't, yeah, but they've been surprisingly better than people would have thought.

00:52:33.680 I don't think they care. 0.98

00:52:34.700 You know, it's because I've been looked at over the course of this piece of garbage. 0.99

00:52:41.300 Sure you have. 1.00

00:52:41.800 Just utter and complete garbage. 0.99

00:52:43.860 Well, the sign says that you have to be an accompanying minor if you're on the playground. 1.00

00:52:47.160 And there you are lollygagging.

00:52:50.460 With my camera around my neck.

00:52:52.860 Yes, of course.

00:52:54.200 No, but obviously, I don't think a lot of people realize I am whatever makes people happy.

00:53:03.660 I'm fine with it.

00:53:05.220 Just don't screw with me.

00:53:06.520 It seems like a very, you know, oh, really, that old gag. 0.66

00:53:09.800 But it is that old gag.

00:53:11.240 It's like, I don't care as long as it doesn't interfere with it.

00:53:14.160 Don't step on my toes.

00:53:15.500 Yeah, do what you want to do.

00:53:16.460 Live how you want as long as it doesn't affect how I live.

00:53:18.540 Yeah, that's fair.

00:53:19.440 Feature came here.

00:53:20.200 You told me you want to get back in business.

00:53:21.900 You weren't going to step on anyone's toes.

00:53:24.580 Jesus Christ.

00:53:25.620 Best yeller ever, by the way.

00:53:27.040 Robert, oh, my God, Robert Lozier.

00:53:30.100 Best yeller ever.

00:53:31.840 And I took him and I passed him in the face.

00:53:34.500 I'm telling you now.

00:53:36.200 Just so unreasonable.

00:53:39.220 When Paulie went into his little bread shop to talk about the lawnmower guy, 0.99

00:53:44.420 and he's like, hey, shit, you want some bread? 0.99

00:53:46.960 And it's all nice. 1.00

00:53:48.240 By the end of it, he's yelling.

00:53:50.760 No one ever, acting, has been able to go from zero to 200 as fast as Robert Lozier.

00:53:58.420 No one has been able to get to that level without, there's no ramp up to it.

00:54:03.640 And then you watch him doing the foot piano in Big with Tom Hanks.

00:54:08.660 And you're like, that's the same guy.

00:54:10.780 I guess that's good acting.

00:54:12.460 He hasn't gotten a bass hit all year. 1.00

00:54:13.980 I should kill him. 1.00

00:54:15.800 What are you talking about? 1.00

00:54:17.040 A toy that turns into a building. 1.00

00:54:20.720 It's stupid. 1.00

00:54:22.500 I mean, he's the greatest. 1.00

00:54:24.320 He's dead now, but the best yellow.

00:54:26.980 Oh, yeah.

00:54:27.440 Oh, was he funny? 0.97

00:54:28.460 Feech Lamanna, yeah. 0.95

00:54:29.400 Feech.

00:54:30.400 Johnny Sack was good at that, too.

00:54:32.300 I mean, incredible.

00:54:32.920 He would go, like, you know, what are you talking about here, Tony?

00:54:38.300 What am I supposed to?

00:54:39.780 What are we, the UN now?

00:54:42.900 And you're like, oh, he's building up.

00:54:44.620 He's going to get pissed.

00:54:45.620 My favorite moment is when he says to Carmine, talking about Ginny, and you could, you know, whatever, for a million.

00:54:52.740 And he goes, Ralph wants Ginny?

00:54:55.560 Yes. 1.00

00:54:56.160 Stupid Carmine. 1.00

00:54:57.440 That's stupid. 1.00

00:54:59.200 Didn't catch it. 1.00

00:55:00.160 He was making, just using an example.

00:55:03.960 Yeah.

00:55:04.520 I'm sure you know this, but you know that he was the guy from the Green Book.

00:55:08.780 The Green Book.

00:55:09.880 Yes, yes.

00:55:10.560 The driver?

00:55:11.340 Yeah, the driver.

00:55:12.600 In that movie, you know, that was a true story.

00:55:15.860 Yeah.

00:55:16.040 He went on to be Carmine in The Sopranos in real life.

00:55:19.180 That's who that is.

00:55:20.340 Like, he was the real guy.

00:55:22.700 Carmine in The Sopranos was the guy, the driver in The Green Book.

00:55:26.300 Right.

00:55:26.620 was Carmine from The Sopranos.

00:55:28.120 But not the movie.

00:55:28.740 He was the real driver.

00:55:30.000 The real driver, yeah.

00:55:30.900 Yeah.

00:55:31.060 Went on to be a...

00:55:32.220 That's crazy.

00:55:32.760 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:33.320 He was a real...

00:55:33.880 That made me like that movie more

00:55:35.660 because I thought it was such Hollywood schmaltz.

00:55:38.120 Yeah, yeah.

00:55:38.420 Oh, someone learned a lesson, did they?

00:55:40.520 Oh, yuck.

00:55:41.320 I hate learning lessons.

00:55:42.400 Of course, I hate it too. 1.00

00:55:44.800 Unless a lady's putting on a special belt 1.00

00:55:46.580 to teach me about... 1.00

00:55:48.120 Teach you a little lesson.

00:55:49.440 Yeah, then I like learning.

00:55:51.360 Are you learning your lesson?

00:55:52.480 I don't know.

00:55:53.800 I don't know.

00:55:56.620 but yeah but i i like that movie more when i when i learned that i was like all right it was okay

00:56:04.860 so many of those guys were uh you know in in the life uh in one way or another back then i don't

00:56:15.460 know uh so much has changed is that even a thing now if if you want to make a movie do you get

00:56:22.400 someone aside from those guys

00:56:24.480 you know do you get a new guy

00:56:26.380 that was actually a criminal

00:56:28.640 in organized crime

00:56:29.980 and put him in a movie

00:56:31.500 probably as a consultant you probably want them as a consultant

00:56:34.460 yeah yeah if you're gonna make a movie about a guy

00:56:36.340 who kills a lot of like Sammy the Bull would probably be a

00:56:38.360 good consultant because he could tell you

00:56:40.300 how guys really talk or no that's not how

00:56:42.380 it happened when you smell a writer's

00:56:44.660 room like Voss had

00:56:46.280 recommended the Godfather

00:56:48.380 of Harlem with a Forrest

00:56:49.760 Whitaker who is great

00:56:51.520 Is it Forrest Whitaker?

00:56:52.260 Yeah, Forrest Whitaker.

00:56:54.180 Yeah, with the wacky eye.

00:56:57.760 Forrest Whitaker. 1.00

00:56:58.860 He's the big black guy with the kooky. 1.00

00:57:01.900 He's got a little wacky eye going. 1.00

00:57:03.100 Oh, I didn't even notice that.

00:57:03.760 How did you not notice that?

00:57:05.620 It's so obvious. 0.63

00:57:07.180 Does he have a crazy eye?

00:57:07.980 He's like.

00:57:09.500 It's like a Popeye eye.

00:57:11.380 Oh, my gosh.

00:57:12.820 I can't believe it.

00:57:15.620 Okay, let's do.

00:57:18.580 You do some Popeye.

00:57:19.620 I'm going to Pop's Guy's Fried Chickskin.

00:57:22.740 Ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak, ak. 0.61

00:57:24.920 I'm the king of Scotland, ak, ak, ak.

00:57:27.360 That's good.

00:57:28.480 Oh, I got some gas, hit me with a two-by-fours.

00:57:32.480 Oh, come on, I was in Fast Times.

00:57:37.020 I wish olives had a bigger butsk.

00:57:40.640 I was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

00:57:43.000 At Ridgemont's Kai's guy, guy who can't improv back but is trying anyway.

00:57:47.180 I was in Starsquare.

00:57:51.160 He was.

00:57:52.880 I was talking to my wife one time, and she didn't know Popeye's name,

00:57:56.920 and she thought he was called Skippy the Captain.

00:57:59.720 Wait, what?

00:58:00.840 That doesn't even...

00:58:02.340 It translates to Norwegian somehow, and she's like...

00:58:04.580 Oh, I keep forgetting she's from Norway.

00:58:06.680 Skippy the Captain? 1.00

00:58:07.240 I'm like, who are you talking about?

00:58:08.520 Skippy the Captain?

00:58:09.760 It really made me very angry.

00:58:11.080 Sounds like something she'd call you.

00:58:13.160 Skippy the Captain, climb aboard.

00:58:17.180 And she would say, swab the deck, but she would say it a little different, too.

00:58:28.100 So anyway, I'm watching this show, and I'm only in episode one, and it's already annoying.

00:58:34.800 I don't hate it.

00:58:35.560 Like, if Vincent D'Onofrio's in it, I just don't love it.

00:58:40.160 I just feel like it's kind of writer's room-ish.

00:58:43.380 And I just like, whenever you can smell a writer's room on it, I just tend to not like it.

00:58:47.540 Now, did you, how far into it are you?

00:58:50.200 I'm literally in the first episode.

00:58:51.600 Oh, that's interesting.

00:58:52.160 And he just met Malcolm X.

00:58:53.580 And I just, like, you know, there's just certain things you can tell they're doing because they seem like cool things to do in a show.

00:58:58.920 Yes.

00:58:59.700 A lot of these shows, though, these series, they'll put out one season at least.

00:59:06.320 They'll try to put out one good season to hook you. 0.94

00:59:10.180 And then it's just garbage. 0.98

00:59:12.460 They give up. 0.90

00:59:14.380 I think they get good writers for the first season, and then they just go, we're going to pay good writers.

00:59:21.200 Now we'll just get garbage in and try to keep it going.

00:59:25.400 I honestly believe that because these series fall apart after one season.

00:59:32.220 Or they literally are a one-season idea that just doesn't have sustainability.

00:59:38.140 Or they just use all their great ideas.

00:59:39.640 Here's a good example.

00:59:40.600 What's the one where they're in the office

00:59:42.340 And you're not sure where they are

00:59:44.260 Serious XM

00:59:45.780 Yeah we're not gonna renew

00:59:51.620 Alright good

00:59:53.420 Severance

00:59:54.920 Severance was the show

00:59:56.920 And it's interesting season 1 is good

00:59:59.640 And then season 2 just

01:00:00.900 They're trying to

01:00:02.400 It feels like they're just trying too hard

01:00:05.080 To be like

01:00:06.240 To take you in all these crazy directions

01:00:08.760 And it just, I don't know, it just lost me.

01:00:11.100 Like, season two stinks.

01:00:12.660 It happens all the time.

01:00:14.560 It used to take quite a while.

01:00:16.600 Like, remember Lost?

01:00:18.240 Yes.

01:00:18.760 Lost was a huge show.

01:00:20.800 Everyone watched it, loved it.

01:00:23.180 And you talked about it.

01:00:25.180 People had parties over their house to watch it.

01:00:29.040 And then, you know, it fell apart, obviously.

01:00:32.140 But we didn't care that it fell apart at the end.

01:00:35.260 We were invested.

01:00:36.740 Now, it doesn't take that many seasons.

01:00:39.600 It's one season.

01:00:40.060 When Ben was driving the island, is that when it fell apart?

01:00:42.240 When Ben was like, turning the island?

01:00:45.400 It was a ship.

01:00:46.520 Right.

01:00:47.000 Like the skipper.

01:00:48.000 Hey, little buddy, I'm going to turn the island. 0.99

01:00:49.820 Shut up, Ben. 1.00

01:00:51.560 It got so ridiculous. 1.00

01:00:53.480 It got stupid, yeah. 1.00

01:00:54.740 And people were still, you were just invested in it. 1.00

01:00:58.160 You had to keep going.

01:00:59.700 Like a bad stock.

01:01:01.240 Yeah.

01:01:01.500 You're just not going to sell it.

01:01:02.740 You hang on.

01:01:03.280 You hang on.

01:01:04.140 And, you know, that was it. 0.79

01:01:05.640 And then with the final, the big finale, the water cooler talk the next day was, wow, that really sucked. 0.87

01:01:12.320 Because they blew it.

01:01:13.280 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:13.860 They could have made it great.

01:01:15.200 But still, what was a great season two?

01:01:17.740 A lot of people didn't like The Wire season two, but I loved it.

01:01:20.500 I get why they didn't.

01:01:21.580 Oh, right.

01:01:22.020 The docks.

01:01:23.000 The ship.

01:01:23.720 They went to the ships.

01:01:24.880 Yes.

01:01:25.660 Sopranos had a great season two, but Severance season two stinks.

01:01:29.720 Squid Game season two was okay.

01:01:31.760 It didn't stink.

01:01:32.620 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:32.980 But it was not amazing.

01:01:34.120 It was decent.

01:01:35.260 Cliffhanger, too.

01:01:35.960 So we got to see three.

01:01:37.300 I know.

01:01:38.140 Come on.

01:01:38.680 You should have made a complete season.

01:01:40.000 I know.

01:01:40.580 They're trying to rope everyone in.

01:01:42.480 That's what they do.

01:01:43.440 Yeah.

01:01:43.660 It's already been filmed.

01:01:44.400 I think they just filmed two and three together.

01:01:46.000 I think so.

01:01:46.620 Yeah.

01:01:47.400 Oh, my God.

01:01:48.280 Hey, we'll be right back in moments because we have to take another break, Jim.

01:01:53.600 Yeah, we got to.

01:01:54.180 We got to sell this.

01:01:55.000 Can you stay around?

01:01:55.860 Yeah.

01:01:55.960 Can you stick around?

01:01:56.800 Yeah, let's play.

01:01:57.360 The advertisers, you know.

01:01:58.880 We got to pay the bills.

01:02:00.080 Keep the lights on.

01:02:01.220 I couldn't think of what to say.

01:02:02.840 Shut it.

01:02:03.080 I will. 0.99

01:02:03.580 Shut it.

01:02:04.240 Yep.

01:02:04.800 Be back in moments.

01:02:07.320 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:02:14.860 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:02:21.520 Yeah, Anthony Cumia Show, Sunday night, Memorial Day weekend.

01:02:26.840 I hope you got a lot of good plans with your family.

01:02:31.360 It was this big barbecue weekend, the first big weekend of the summer.

01:02:36.620 And then, whoa, it's Labor Day.

01:02:41.360 What have, how does that work?

01:02:45.580 Oh, my God.

01:02:47.240 You know what's great about living in South Carolina?

01:02:50.300 Fireworks.

01:02:51.840 The, for years, like as a kid, here's what, me and Jimmy were earlier talking about how

01:02:58.800 But when you grow up and then you grow older, you're still the kid.

01:03:02.480 You're still the kid you always were.

01:03:05.220 And you think you're going to be different.

01:03:07.580 You think you're going to get older and have these different ideas.

01:03:10.380 But you're still the kid that you always were.

01:03:12.940 So moving to South Carolina and knowing that summer's coming up and Fourth of July's coming up and seeing fireworks stores.

01:03:24.340 Yeah.

01:03:25.160 It does.

01:03:25.780 I don't care.

01:03:26.700 If you are a man, which I aspire to be someday, if you're a man, you look at that and go, oh, yeah, I am buying fireworks, and I am going to buy a huge amount of fireworks and set them off on the 4th of July because that is something I don't think ever really goes away in a guy.

01:03:49.720 I know you love it

01:03:51.980 and I know that a lot of

01:03:53.220 fireworks, I would rather 1.00

01:03:55.940 watch a quadriplegic paint with his teeth 1.00

01:03:58.360 than watch fireworks.

01:03:59.600 Well, most people that set them off end up that way.

01:04:02.520 So

01:04:02.540 they're not mutually exclusive.

01:04:06.980 Dude, I can't

01:04:07.740 stand them. Why do you not like

01:04:09.960 fireworks? I've never enjoyed them.

01:04:11.660 Now watching a display, if you're watching

01:04:14.080 the Macy's or the

01:04:16.160 what is that?

01:04:17.620 the Italians out there on Long Island.

01:04:21.020 The Grucci.

01:04:22.260 I don't know what that is.

01:04:23.140 The Grucci Fireway.

01:04:24.020 They're the ones that do the big July thing

01:04:26.460 on the Brooklyn Bridge and whatnot.

01:04:28.040 Okay, sure.

01:04:28.760 So you got a great vantage point in New York City.

01:04:32.260 I'm sure you would go out there and watch them.

01:04:34.260 I have.

01:04:34.980 But you don't like setting them off?

01:04:36.280 Or even, I watch them just because I'm right there.

01:04:39.600 And I'm like, all right, cool.

01:04:40.440 I don't have to do anything to watch it.

01:04:42.360 But I just don't care about them at all.

01:04:44.260 Even as a kid, there was no thrill of lighting an M-80, throwing it, hoping your hand didn't blow off.

01:04:51.420 No, and that's why I didn't like them, because I was a bit of a cautious boy.

01:04:54.960 Oh, yeah, with your chronic alcoholism at 15.

01:04:58.160 Yeah, I mean, look, there were problems.

01:04:59.060 You're really taking care of yourself.

01:05:00.940 There were problems.

01:05:02.420 I'm okay. 0.86

01:05:05.460 I'm the devil. 0.98

01:05:08.280 Little douche. 1.00

01:05:09.360 With a knife in your hand, walking down the street. 1.00

01:05:11.720 Hoping the police would shoot me. 0.99

01:05:13.200 Of course. 0.55

01:05:14.260 So did everyone else that you knew.

01:05:16.100 And it would have been right.

01:05:17.080 It would have saved a lot of half-sold rooms from being bored.

01:05:22.140 No, I never liked them, though.

01:05:23.900 Like, I just never cared about them.

01:05:25.400 We fired, like, bottle rockets at cars and stuff. 0.98

01:05:28.400 Oh, that's good.

01:05:29.180 I never cared about fireworks.

01:05:30.580 Yeah.

01:05:30.840 I get why people like it, though.

01:05:31.980 I mean, I get it.

01:05:32.940 In South Carolina, they sell, like, you can set off the fireworks that you see in displays.

01:05:40.320 Right.

01:05:40.660 And last year, because I've been blessed with jobs over the course of the years that have given me some disposable income, where I could go to fireworks places and buy insane fireworks.

01:05:53.900 How much are they?

01:05:54.340 Last year I did that.

01:05:55.180 It all depends.

01:05:56.140 I mean, you could buy stuff that's $10, and then you could buy hundreds of dollars worth.

01:06:01.560 I bought stuff that, like aerial bombs, they launch M-80s up and explode.

01:06:08.380 It's very loud.

01:06:09.420 Yeah.

01:06:09.720 I like the loud ones.

01:06:12.260 In New York...

01:06:13.500 That's ironic.

01:06:17.780 Because, yes.

01:06:22.080 In New York, you get like...

01:06:24.040 Even in California, they were safe and sane fireworks.

01:06:27.800 I like that.

01:06:28.480 They sold when I was a kid.

01:06:29.240 Yeah.

01:06:29.700 And it was these little sparklers.

01:06:32.260 Yeah.

01:06:32.780 And you like that.

01:06:33.800 I called them another type of word.

01:06:36.280 It started with an F.

01:06:37.480 Yep.

01:06:37.760 I know what they were.

01:06:39.280 Sure they were.

01:06:40.060 Yes, one letter in between.

01:06:41.940 Can you please get what I'm talking about?

01:06:44.180 If the sparkler was an architect in a 1960s sitcom.

01:06:50.640 Exactly, yeah.

01:06:52.260 So, yeah, it bothered me.

01:06:55.360 It's like, wow, they're legally selling fireworks.

01:06:57.820 And my dad would be all like, we're buying fireworks.

01:07:01.200 And it said safe and sane.

01:07:03.980 I'm like, that doesn't sound fun.

01:07:05.760 No, it doesn't.

01:07:06.420 It doesn't.

01:07:06.740 And it was all quiet and sparkly.

01:07:09.660 So South Carolina buying these really big, loud fireworks, I think last 4th of July was

01:07:17.200 my first 4th of July I spent in South Carolina, and I think I spent $1,000 on fireworks.

01:07:25.960 I mean, that's not even as crazy as I would have thought.

01:07:29.200 That's a lot.

01:07:30.060 It was a lot.

01:07:30.980 Just you and Missy, or do you have people over?

01:07:32.640 Yeah, no.

01:07:33.360 No one over.

01:07:35.140 My cat.

01:07:36.740 Do you know how to cook on the grill? 0.99

01:07:39.780 It comes with having male genitalia, doesn't it? 0.99

01:07:45.280 I wouldn't know. 0.98

01:07:46.580 I mean, believe me, I got it.

01:07:48.080 Trust me.

01:07:49.900 No, I, yeah, I can cook on a grill.

01:07:53.900 We have an egg, do we have a nice egg grill, a beautiful egg grill on the, which I got.

01:07:57.620 A Weber.

01:07:58.320 Not a Weber, no.

01:07:59.160 This is like a real big, it's almost, it's not porcelain, but it's a big, it's an excellent grill.

01:08:03.640 I got it from a buddy of mine.

01:08:04.880 And I don't know how to use it.

01:08:06.580 It sat there for a year.

01:08:07.700 My Weber sat there for a year until I threw it out because this one came, and I can't use it.

01:08:12.320 Why?

01:08:12.700 It's the same thing as cooking on a grill or anything.

01:08:15.400 I can't do that either.

01:08:16.640 You can't cook at all.

01:08:17.520 No, I can't.

01:08:18.980 How's Nikki?

01:08:19.680 Can she cook on the grill? 0.98

01:08:20.640 She cooks okay, yeah. 1.00

01:08:21.480 She cooks good fish and stuff like that. 1.00

01:08:23.440 She doesn't like cooking chicken. 1.00

01:08:25.720 Who doesn't like cooking chicken? 1.00

01:08:27.040 Norwegian slop.

01:08:28.740 Like fish, right?

01:08:30.640 No, like giant thick bacon with weird grease on it.

01:08:36.620 It's hideous.

01:08:37.900 It's hideous.

01:08:39.080 I bet it's weird grease on it.

01:08:41.260 Hey.

01:08:41.820 Is that what you call it?

01:08:42.780 Yeah, what are you doing?

01:08:43.500 I'm throwing that on my back?

01:08:44.700 What am I supposed to do with that?

01:08:45.780 Come on.

01:08:46.760 Burns. 1.00

01:08:47.120 Weird Greek. 1.00

01:08:49.880 Because that's, yeah. 1.00

01:08:51.220 Anyway.

01:08:52.040 Sure.

01:08:52.660 Wow, I didn't realize that she- 1.00

01:08:56.000 But you can cook on a grill. 0.98

01:08:57.580 I would like that.

01:08:58.340 I'm thinking of going to your house and grilling and having some fireworks.

01:09:01.320 It's not that hard a thing to do.

01:09:02.440 When I had the house in Roslyn, there was one year, and I've talked about it on the show, where Patrice came over.

01:09:10.040 Oh, yeah.

01:09:11.080 I think I was there.

01:09:11.880 He ran the grill.

01:09:14.240 I have my usual guys, and Patrice just walked over there and was like, yeah, let me take care of it.

01:09:19.520 And cooked burgers and chicken and hot dogs for my entire family and loved it.

01:09:27.360 He just loved doing it.

01:09:29.320 He was a surprisingly good host, too.

01:09:31.940 Yes.

01:09:32.100 Like, when you go to Jersey City, we need to have, I think that was the year I threw Voss's straw hat.

01:09:37.720 Or was he the Voss or Keith's straw hat?

01:09:39.260 I threw it into the fire.

01:09:40.900 Wish his head was in it. 0.93

01:09:42.820 Daddy, my hat blew off. 0.90

01:09:46.000 But Patrice was a surprisingly warm host.

01:09:49.040 He liked cooking for people, which he doesn't seem like the type who would have been gracious and loving to feed people.

01:09:57.180 But we'd love to cook for people.

01:09:58.100 When he wasn't being that guy, Patrice, he was a very sweet guy.

01:10:03.260 And we all, thank God, we all got to see that at some point or another. 1.00

01:10:08.160 But we also got to see, which was 99% of the time, the just bastard that he was. 0.99

01:10:16.340 I didn't like him when I first met him at all. 0.99

01:10:17.920 No one really does, quite frankly.

01:10:20.740 Him and Voss make the two worst impressions I've ever met of anyone.

01:10:23.840 Yeah, yeah.

01:10:24.440 Voss always leaves a terrible first impression,

01:10:26.540 which usually at four or five years in, you get over it.

01:10:29.140 Maybe.

01:10:30.420 Bad last impression.

01:10:32.140 We've got to take another break, but we'll be right back.

01:10:34.780 I want to talk a little bit more about Patrice

01:10:37.340 because people like our little relationship we had with him.

01:10:40.840 Be back in a moment.

01:10:42.680 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:10:49.960 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:10:52.240 Entertaining and informative.

01:10:53.980 on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:10:57.240 The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:11:01.180 With Jim Norton joining me this entire evening.

01:11:05.080 Thank you, Jimmy.

01:11:05.820 It's fun, man.

01:11:06.460 I love it.

01:11:06.820 For coming in.

01:11:07.520 I love it.

01:11:08.740 I come to New York.

01:11:10.000 It's the one thing I look forward to

01:11:13.160 is hanging out with Jim Norton and doing this

01:11:15.940 because I'm not a fan.

01:11:18.680 I know you're not.

01:11:19.360 And I was.

01:11:21.240 i was a huge fan of new york and new york city and everything and then i think covid really

01:11:28.840 changed a lot of people's opinions of big cities and especially and i i don't mean politically but

01:11:35.680 i kind of do but democrat-run cities the way they treated everyone during covid uh was just

01:11:43.200 abominable people play clips now and go hey don't forget what they did and you watch these clips of

01:11:49.920 the police coming into a gym and dragging the owner out and cuffing him.

01:11:55.260 In New Jersey, yeah.

01:11:56.120 This happened.

01:11:57.640 We forget about that.

01:11:58.780 You think, oh, COVID.

01:11:59.700 Yeah, that was inconvenient.

01:12:01.420 People were dragged out of their places of business.

01:12:04.720 And COVID is just one more thing.

01:12:06.340 Everybody's just so mad at each other.

01:12:07.960 Everyone is so angry.

01:12:11.400 Constantly.

01:12:11.800 And, dude, I am guilty.

01:12:13.260 Like, I am so easy to set off that I try not.

01:12:15.760 I was looking at a clip of a guy, just a road rage guy.

01:12:18.320 And I'm like, if I could have shot this guy through the phone, I would have.

01:12:22.660 And I'm like, why do I care?

01:12:24.320 What's wrong with me?

01:12:25.080 How am I so easily triggered into rage?

01:12:28.060 Everyone's just angry.

01:12:29.660 That is an interesting take because I laugh at myself a lot of times when, as other people don't.

01:12:38.220 Sure.

01:12:38.760 I'll just fill in what you were going to say.

01:12:40.660 There might as well be one happy person in any room you're in.

01:12:44.120 it just gets to a point where you're so enraged and looking at something and then you go

01:12:53.900 what what am i doing what am i doing why do i care yeah about this and then you try to justify

01:13:01.360 why you care and and sometimes i can i mean i don't like certain things that are happening in

01:13:07.960 this country because and it's like well it doesn't affect you look out your window the birds are

01:13:11.960 tweet that old gag.

01:13:13.380 And it's like, well, it is affecting

01:13:15.540 me. It's affecting my

01:13:17.900 income.

01:13:20.040 And, you know, if I want to go

01:13:21.900 to a city like New York

01:13:23.800 and I have to come in here every month and do

01:13:25.680 a job, I don't want to have

01:13:27.880 to keep swinging my head around to make sure

01:13:29.740 someone doesn't clobber me over the

01:13:31.800 head with a brick. That's all.

01:13:34.020 Yeah, of course. It's so hard to turn around with that pointy

01:13:36.020 hat.

01:13:41.960 But I know what you mean.

01:13:43.200 I do know.

01:13:44.100 Sure, there's like a ripple effect.

01:13:45.980 Of course.

01:13:47.220 But I just, I'm like, why am I?

01:13:48.560 Cut bigger holes in them.

01:13:51.040 We get it.

01:13:52.020 We understand.

01:13:52.860 Thank you.

01:13:53.860 But I mean, you know me, and I don't want to sound too New Yorkish, but I'm a big Appler

01:13:57.660 through and through.

01:13:59.200 I know, you're a big Bockers fan.

01:14:01.740 Oh, yeah. 1.00

01:14:02.600 Oh, Bock Nation. 1.00

01:14:04.240 Bock Nation. 1.00

01:14:05.320 People don't like that.

01:14:06.220 Now, for some reason, most people call them the Knicks.

01:14:09.180 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:10.080 You know, basketball.

01:14:10.900 But the box.

01:14:12.780 Yeah.

01:14:13.340 Because the Knickerbocker, that's there.

01:14:16.480 So do you call the Mets the Tripolitans?

01:14:19.160 No.

01:14:20.600 The Metaros usually.

01:14:22.280 Metaros. 0.97

01:14:22.960 Or I'll say like Bach Nation.

01:14:25.780 Bach Nation.

01:14:26.900 What kind of response is that getting? 0.99

01:14:28.820 Really positive.

01:14:30.320 Are the shirts selling the Bach Nation shirts?

01:14:34.140 I should sell them.

01:14:35.120 Oh, boy.

01:14:36.020 That would.

01:14:36.300 I won $100 because I know so little about basketball

01:14:41.040 that I said, but they're going to beat Boston.

01:14:43.340 And all the guys at the cellar who know basketball,

01:14:45.540 they're like, no, they're not.

01:14:47.140 We took a $100 bet, and I won.

01:14:49.320 And I have no idea.

01:14:50.620 I wouldn't even watch the game.

01:14:52.120 Of course you did.

01:14:53.540 I read your post, and I'm like, he doesn't watch the game.

01:14:57.460 He doesn't know anything about the players.

01:14:59.760 No, I don't care.

01:15:00.280 Or basketball, yet, yeah, because you tossed a coin.

01:15:05.600 That's it.

01:15:05.940 you hope the box sure i mean look i mean i'm i'm a bacher fan when they're doing well why not

01:15:12.060 i i like to see a happy new yorker you know what i mean go box we all look at each other and we

01:15:17.560 yeah yeah i hope it's been ruining people's day they hate it never heard anyone call them

01:15:23.580 now the box no so that's a bit the bachers that's a big fan i guess i put that little little

01:15:29.440 hyphen before bachers believe you don't have to point that out

01:15:34.900 I definitely saw that.

01:15:38.520 I mean, I just don't care at all.

01:15:40.740 But it's fun to watch a good playoff game.

01:15:42.460 If you're watching a playoff game with people who are into it,

01:15:44.980 it's hard not to get caught up in it.

01:15:46.780 Yeah, yeah.

01:15:47.660 But I don't care.

01:15:49.420 I want to touch on, because that's what radio people do.

01:15:53.780 Sure.

01:15:54.300 No, I want to talk about your show, What You Do.

01:15:57.600 Now you have a podcast, and it's Jim Norton Can't Save You.

01:16:03.940 and you talk about

01:16:05.820 people's problem

01:16:07.380 and sometimes they're pretty serious

01:16:10.140 it's funny like I liked

01:16:11.660 I did the advice show after the old

01:16:13.620 I like callers

01:16:15.900 I know people like to callers but sometimes

01:16:17.700 they take you in a weird direction

01:16:19.340 like you're with a comic everyone's

01:16:21.820 interviewing comics every show is a comic

01:16:23.800 and a comic and somebody doing a gig

01:16:25.740 and look there's only so many things

01:16:27.620 enough a caller will at least

01:16:29.600 just take you into a different

01:16:31.600 place that you never would have thought to go

01:16:33.520 yeah that's why i like it and it's alive and it's in the moment and everyone likes to give advice

01:16:38.280 like every comic who's like as soon as someone would ask a question like wait wait so wait you

01:16:43.740 said you're going to like everyone gets into it i want when i watch your show i see the guests

01:16:49.520 that you normally wouldn't think are people that would dispense advice to anybody but you're right

01:16:56.940 people kind of want to uh give advice i don't even know if it's so much you want to help somebody

01:17:03.280 But you want to seem like you kind of know something.

01:17:07.220 You're never going to make someone mad going, what do you think?

01:17:09.920 Everybody wants to be asked what we think.

01:17:12.220 And I just, it's fun to hang with a comic and talk and it takes you in again.

01:17:16.460 You talk about your own life and you know how it is.

01:17:18.800 I love doing it. 1.00

01:17:20.160 I was going to call it good luck stupid. 0.99

01:17:22.520 And the reason I just didn't because. 0.99

01:17:24.500 Why bring Voss into it?

01:17:27.320 I'm not even there.

01:17:28.960 Come on, people.

01:17:30.580 Okay. 0.90

01:17:30.980 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. 0.72

01:17:40.060 Yeah. 0.96

01:17:41.000 And Mike, the guy who does my producing, Mike, Mike, you don't come on the podcast and be unfunny like that.

01:17:52.060 So I kind of wanted to, but he goes, it might be a little easier for advertisers like this.

01:17:56.860 Like, you know what I mean?

01:17:57.760 And I'm like, yeah, okay.

01:17:58.540 I mean, advertisers are the only thing paying me there.

01:18:00.620 so yeah yeah the uh i heard somebody call in the other day and what a weird story about

01:18:07.340 having sex with the was it the brother-in-law oh that guy that was when i was in uh in austin 0.83

01:18:13.700 with casey rocket yeah yeah the guy sounded like woody allen yeah his sister-in-law he goes they 0.95

01:18:18.560 kissed right they kissed and their lips touched during a new year's eve kiss whoa dangerous and

01:18:25.180 And he said every day he's been repainting his belly thinking about that.

01:18:31.420 And I don't blame him.

01:18:33.060 It was so hot. 0.51

01:18:34.680 But this is his brother's wife?

01:18:36.720 His brother's wife, yeah.

01:18:38.400 And did he have feelings for her before this magical kiss?

01:18:43.260 I don't know.

01:18:44.340 I think he thought she was attractive.

01:18:46.160 And why kiss on the mouth?

01:18:47.960 They didn't. 0.98

01:18:48.460 They kissed.

01:18:49.380 It was like when I saw you before, that little weird kiss we do.

01:18:53.040 But I had to open my fly.

01:18:55.180 I know and it's weird

01:18:58.260 It can be a smelly kiss

01:19:04.700 We hand up free toothbrushes here

01:19:09.700 The radio station

01:19:11.220 So that's weird

01:19:14.420 It wasn't even

01:19:15.340 Like you go kiss him on the cheek

01:19:18.160 And the lips just

01:19:19.360 I guess like the lips just touch a little

01:19:21.620 And apparently she said to him

01:19:23.340 Wow the year's off to a great start

01:19:25.040 and that weird little moment

01:19:27.320 that's the type of thing like

01:19:28.740 I know what you're telling me

01:19:31.340 how hard is it

01:19:32.920 for a guy

01:19:36.560 to forget that

01:19:38.340 turn it down

01:19:39.580 never acknowledge it again

01:19:41.360 and not play off of it

01:19:43.380 especially if she's someone you thought was hot before 0.99

01:19:45.820 but the disloyalty

01:19:48.440 it's your brother

01:19:49.740 that should transcend any

01:19:52.300 sexual

01:19:53.380 insanity you have but as a guy especially at a certain age or where you're just completely out 0.62

01:20:01.660 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

01:20:08.780 grossed out by just the idea that someone's having sex you know i mean like i wouldn't be able to get

01:20:13.400 beyond that and i'm a pervert but that would be one that would just be going like but i get it

01:20:18.800 Though I get why the inappropriate, somebody likes a little inappropriate, you know what I mean?

01:20:23.000 If you like the inappropriate, that's another kind of fetish.

01:20:26.000 But if you don't like that but you were kind of turned on by it, what a conundrum that is to have.

01:20:34.120 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.

01:20:43.100 You could imagine something in your head that she thought, like, oh, I think she liked that.

01:20:49.480 When she said, like, the year's off to a good start, that must mean she got the same vibe I did.

01:20:55.080 Now you're infatuated with her, and she didn't even think twice about it.

01:21:00.560 I kissed my friend's grandmother, which I know is trying to—

01:21:03.280 Oh, right.

01:21:04.400 And it was like a little peck in our lips touched.

01:21:07.540 And I'd be lying.

01:21:09.320 Whose lips were thinner and drier? 0.91

01:21:11.160 You have a little contest

01:21:13.100 I would be lying if I said I wasn't turned on

01:21:16.960 I was a little turned on

01:21:20.060 I like the taste of Geritol

01:21:22.140 I couldn't do anything about it

01:21:27.360 Because I'm like, you know, then they close the list

01:21:41.160 Old satin pillow head.

01:21:45.260 Did you really kiss a grandma?

01:21:46.920 No.

01:21:47.400 Oh, right?

01:21:48.200 I thought it was very funny to me.

01:21:51.540 I was literally smiling as you're talking,

01:21:52.800 just thinking about some old bag in a coffin,

01:21:55.240 me giving her a peck, getting a rod and the lid closing.

01:22:01.260 That is so wrong.

01:22:03.200 I know.

01:22:04.060 I love it.

01:22:05.200 But, yeah, no, I've had inappropriate thing,

01:22:08.960 like little weird back touches

01:22:10.720 when you're taking a photo with someone after a show.

01:22:13.020 And you think it means something.

01:22:14.980 And sometimes it does, but it just goes nowhere.

01:22:16.920 That never does.

01:22:18.380 It never does.

01:22:19.580 I know, but then I'm like,

01:22:20.420 what am I talking about?

01:22:21.020 His wife is here. 0.97

01:22:23.700 But yes, sometimes the woman will rub your back 0.82

01:22:26.540 and there's a little signal, 1.00

01:22:28.480 but you know it can't go anywhere and it doesn't.

01:22:31.060 It's just a moment.

01:22:32.360 Like it's some type of a weird moment

01:22:33.920 that just is, and then it expires.

01:22:37.060 What kind of advice did you give this guy?

01:22:41.000 I don't remember.

01:22:42.400 I remember the call.

01:22:43.600 Yeah.

01:22:43.920 But I don't remember what.

01:22:45.160 I'm sure I encouraged him. 0.99

01:22:47.160 To go and have sex with his sister-in-law? 1.00

01:22:50.500 Yeah, of course. 1.00

01:22:51.140 I mentioned Hunter Biden.

01:22:52.200 I mean, how could you not?

01:22:53.620 You're a among men.

01:22:54.840 Be like a presidential son.

01:22:57.520 Do exactly what all of us want.

01:22:58.700 He wanted to for a while.

01:23:00.240 All of a sudden, I was like, I have a headache.

01:23:01.380 And he's like, all right, I'll wait it out.

01:23:06.440 Should I go to the doctor?

01:23:07.380 No, here's some excedrin.

01:23:08.580 No, not at all.

01:23:09.420 Don't you worry about it.

01:23:10.940 Open your cap.

01:23:11.920 One more little button in the back.

01:23:14.400 You'll be fine.

01:23:15.260 Old pudding brain is going away, and I'll take care of business. 0.62

01:23:22.060 It's just so terrible. 0.96

01:23:23.340 It's just awful.

01:23:24.500 Yeah, but I'm weak with that stuff.

01:23:27.100 It's hard not to think about it.

01:23:28.380 Even if you don't act on it, it's still the idea of it.

01:23:30.840 And you're right.

01:23:31.480 Sometimes you imagine it.

01:23:32.800 So you got to be careful it's not that.

01:23:34.160 It's a lot of imagination.

01:23:35.680 Like, you want it to be true. 0.98

01:23:38.600 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

01:23:50.140 Right. 0.93

01:23:50.680 Which was nothing.

01:23:53.320 That was, like, coming on to me.

01:23:55.680 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

01:23:56.600 If a girl talked to you, it was coming on to you. 1.00

01:24:02.680 if she put her hand on your arm 1.00

01:24:05.540 while she talked to you

01:24:06.700 you're like well this is it

01:24:08.640 I have her

01:24:10.940 and the way they think

01:24:13.740 is totally different

01:24:15.200 cause you're always looking

01:24:16.380 and this is all of us who do this

01:24:18.140 looking for the signal

01:24:19.780 like the signal where like

01:24:22.380 oh she feels the way I do

01:24:24.180 and it never comes

01:24:26.180 you write a poem Jimmy did ya

01:24:28.440 I wrote one in rehab

01:24:30.440 No, but I did

01:24:31.820 I told you this time I was sitting on the shopping carts

01:24:33.720 Did I tell you that? I think I had the crush on this girl

01:24:36.080 So much

01:24:37.020 And she's like, I like someone

01:24:39.140 I'm like, you do? And she's like, yeah

01:24:41.780 No, you thought it was you

01:24:43.760 Well, she's like, I'm like, really?

01:24:45.780 And she goes, yeah, because it's weird because we're friends

01:24:47.660 I'm like, I'm sure it's okay

01:24:49.460 And she goes, and he's got glasses

01:24:51.440 And I'm like, really?

01:24:53.140 And she's like, yeah, does John have a girlfriend?

01:24:56.440 She's talking about my buddy John Freno

01:24:57.760 Jim, it's not John

01:24:59.720 And the name's Jim.

01:25:00.660 And I was like, oh, that's cool.

01:25:01.800 He's a nice guy.

01:25:03.120 Oh.

01:25:04.260 And I went and got a screwdriver and stole Wii magazine out of the machine, which is what I used to do.

01:25:09.800 And went and chafed my young, confused body with my hand.

01:25:16.920 Dude, I would take the screwdriver and go steal Playboy, Penthouse, and Wii.

01:25:20.360 They were in a machine in the local motel.

01:25:23.620 How would they put those in machines that could be easily lifted?

01:25:26.460 It was a magazine.

01:25:27.360 Yeah, I know.

01:25:28.260 I've seen the machines, but jeez.

01:25:30.960 You put the screwdriver in and just Jimmy the magazine.

01:25:33.260 I didn't take the money.

01:25:34.340 I just wanted the magazine.

01:25:35.500 No, just the magazine.

01:25:35.980 Of course, at that age.

01:25:37.380 Pia Zadora.

01:25:38.360 Oh, yeah, the Pia Zadora issue of Wii.

01:25:41.080 Very hot.

01:25:41.640 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1.00

01:25:43.320 Why are celebrities better to see naked than just regular girls? 1.00

01:25:48.920 Because it's the same thing that OnlyFans probably does now, which is people that you see.

01:25:53.000 Because, guys, you always want to see somebody naked.

01:25:54.920 Always.

01:25:55.520 Yeah.

01:25:56.360 Take your clothes off.

01:25:57.480 something you haven't seen before

01:25:59.840 there's no hair on it which of course you're used to

01:26:02.340 but there's something about seeing

01:26:12.320 these like people you work with 1.00

01:26:14.260 or like women at the office you want to see them naked 1.00

01:26:16.280 so now and only fit that's what it's like with celebrities 1.00

01:26:18.280 like yeah because it was so taboo

01:26:20.160 like celebrity skin became a huge

01:26:22.460 website yeah people wanted to see

01:26:24.400 they'd freeze frame a movie

01:26:26.560 where it was a split second of half a breast or something like that. 0.99

01:26:31.480 Yeah, well, see that outside Sloan Kettering.

01:26:39.320 Jimmy's face is in his hands right now.

01:26:42.800 I'm sorry.

01:26:43.820 You knew that was coming up.

01:26:44.660 I did, but it was worse than I anticipated.

01:26:47.300 I knew it was coming.

01:26:48.420 I didn't think you'd name the hospital.

01:26:51.240 Wait, there was, oh, the celebrity skin, the nude.

01:26:56.560 Oh, I forget what I was going to say.

01:26:58.520 It was something about celebrity skin, seeing somebody naked.

01:27:03.160 I don't remember.

01:27:03.820 Yeah, that was a big thing.

01:27:06.240 He was on Howard a lot.

01:27:08.120 Oh, yeah, Mr. Skin.

01:27:08.980 Because it was a big thing, Mr. Skin.

01:27:11.000 And it was all about celebrities. 0.88

01:27:13.300 Did they even do that? 1.00

01:27:14.200 Are there any women now actresses that expose themselves to that extent? 1.00

01:27:20.940 Maybe a side boob shot. 1.00

01:27:24.760 Oh, now there are much more... 0.99

01:27:27.280 I think people so don't care about nudity as much.

01:27:29.880 It's there.

01:27:30.840 So you're not going to get in trouble for use.

01:27:32.260 Like, what's her name from Brown Bunny? 1.00

01:27:35.360 Chloe Svangy, who went with Vincent Gallo, did that phenomenal scene. 1.00

01:27:40.720 Actual sex. 1.00

01:27:41.460 Yeah.

01:27:42.280 But that really hurt her career because it was like 15 years ago.

01:27:45.100 Yeah, yeah.

01:27:45.780 I think William Morris dropped her.

01:27:47.480 But nowadays, if you're doing OnlyFans, unless you're like...

01:27:50.040 15 years ago.

01:27:50.420 She's like 30 now.

01:27:52.520 Oh, so it was 20 years ago.

01:27:54.260 kidding of course it's a math joke

01:27:56.800 I know

01:27:57.340 it was

01:27:59.780 like if you do something like that now it wouldn't

01:28:02.820 matter like on OnlyFans unless you're like

01:28:04.820 Taylor Swift or somebody like above

01:28:07.000 all of it then it's a big deal but

01:28:08.840 for most people no one

01:28:09.840 but I don't even think they do it anymore

01:28:11.920 movies now don't have

01:28:14.500 gratuitous nudity

01:28:16.840 in them maybe not

01:28:18.340 yeah I don't think I see it as much 1.00

01:28:20.860 I think women are a little 1.00

01:28:22.700 more 1.00

01:28:23.200 I don't know.

01:28:26.140 They don't want to do it.

01:28:27.020 It seems like they're being used and abused

01:28:29.120 if they have to perform naked.

01:28:32.700 Intimacy. 0.98

01:28:33.400 I think an intimacy coach is called or something.

01:28:36.320 Yeah, yeah.

01:28:36.680 On the set.

01:28:37.320 Where could I get that job?

01:28:39.000 Hold on a minute. 0.99

01:28:39.940 Put me on a dirt baseman's line. 0.99

01:28:41.900 I mean it.

01:28:42.600 Just don't ask if I could, you know,

01:28:44.840 shake your hand while we're watching.

01:28:46.980 Believe me, I'm still a second, you know.

01:28:53.200 All right, back in moments with more of the Anthony Cumia Show

01:28:59.280 with Jim Norton this evening.

01:29:01.440 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:29:09.060 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:29:11.540 Entertaining and informative.

01:29:13.300 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:29:17.440 Welcoming, welcome back.

01:29:19.920 the Anthony Cumia show

01:29:23.520 on the Sunday evening.

01:29:24.800 That was a quick break.

01:29:25.860 It was.

01:29:26.540 Nice.

01:29:26.900 I like that, right?

01:29:27.760 Short break.

01:29:28.700 Yes, a short break.

01:29:30.420 We do enjoy having

01:29:31.800 the great Jim Norton

01:29:33.780 on board.

01:29:36.240 I'm using radio.

01:29:37.200 On board tonight.

01:29:38.800 Speaking of on board,

01:29:39.680 have you seen on Netflix

01:29:42.000 that show?

01:29:42.940 It's about the ship

01:29:43.740 that gets stuck on the two ships

01:29:45.040 and it's called Terror.

01:29:46.600 Oh, wait a minute.

01:29:47.620 It's like an old,

01:29:48.780 the ship was called Terror.

01:29:50.180 There's two ships, one called Urbis and one called Terror, yes.

01:29:52.840 Yeah, and they got stuck in the ice.

01:29:54.260 Like by Antarctica.

01:29:55.340 I'm only on episode nine.

01:29:57.140 Yeah, I watched that one.

01:29:58.340 Okay, don't tell me the ending, but I'm liking it.

01:30:00.980 The monster looks kind of weird.

01:30:02.460 Yeah, yeah.

01:30:03.360 The weird, it's not, it's close up, it's good, but from far away it looks like when they would have those Christmas puppet shows.

01:30:11.420 Remember like the Heatmiser, the way the polar bear would walk?

01:30:14.520 Yeah, yeah, the animation, what do they call them?

01:30:18.500 Not a claymation, but.

01:30:19.720 No, my God.

01:30:21.260 Thank you.

01:30:22.680 I'm panicking.

01:30:24.380 What are they called?

01:30:25.140 They weren't puppets.

01:30:28.260 What were they?

01:30:28.960 What were they?

01:30:30.220 Looking around the room, no one seems to know.

01:30:33.160 It wasn't animatronics.

01:30:34.840 It wasn't animation.

01:30:36.600 Not claymation.

01:30:37.520 It might have been claymation.

01:30:39.360 But they weren't clay.

01:30:40.160 They weren't clay.

01:30:41.120 They were puppets, I think.

01:30:42.380 I think it was puppetmation.

01:30:44.700 No, clay.

01:30:45.380 I think it's clay.

01:30:46.360 No.

01:30:47.560 I hate it.

01:30:48.180 Like Rudolph and those Rankin-Bass productions.

01:30:53.820 Stop Motion.

01:30:54.760 Stop Motion?

01:30:55.760 Stop Motion.

01:30:56.420 Well, that was...

01:30:57.140 I never would have got that.

01:30:58.180 That wasn't very thrilling of a name.

01:31:00.200 Not at all.

01:31:00.520 Not at all.

01:31:01.200 Stop Motion.

01:31:02.220 Stop Motion.

01:31:03.320 Right now, as he's saying, I'm hearing that Price is Right sound.

01:31:06.560 When somebody would strike out.

01:31:08.320 Oh, I'm so sorry.

01:31:10.360 Yes.

01:31:13.240 I want to bring up a couple of things that I have sound clips for, Jimmy.

01:31:18.080 We do sound.

01:31:19.700 We're amazing.

01:31:20.560 Very good.

01:31:21.360 It's like the 30s here on radio.

01:31:23.980 Ladies and gentlemen, amplitude modulation is all you'll ever need for your entertainment.

01:31:29.860 You know, I never knew what AM stood for until you just said that.

01:31:32.560 And FM is what?

01:31:34.300 Frequency modulation.

01:31:36.000 Amplitude and frequency.

01:31:37.780 One is height and one is width.

01:31:41.380 Really?

01:31:41.940 Yes, it's amazing.

01:31:43.800 So if I want to say three by four, if somebody asked me, I could say amplitude three, frequency four.

01:31:52.420 There you go.

01:31:53.520 Cool.

01:31:54.060 All right.

01:31:54.940 I didn't know what that meant.

01:31:56.700 Yes, it's quite an amazing thing.

01:31:59.060 So amplitude is height?

01:32:00.700 Yeah, yeah.

01:32:01.380 It's how high the frequencies go.

01:32:03.740 And then frequency is how much space between the frequency.

01:32:10.420 Oh, okay.

01:32:11.020 Yeah.

01:32:11.380 So which one goes off?

01:32:12.220 AM travels further.

01:32:14.020 But if someone's driving under a bridge right now,

01:32:17.060 they're not hearing this brilliant talk about frequency and amplitude.

01:32:22.460 They're driving into a bridge.

01:32:23.740 They're going to circle around, go to the top of it, and drive right off.

01:32:27.420 They're driving into the ocean to not have to hear this.

01:32:30.700 Yeah, this is banal dribble.

01:32:32.960 Someone's out there going, oh, he's right.

01:32:35.200 I didn't know it, man.

01:32:36.180 He's right.

01:32:40.360 Whoopi, you like Whoopi?

01:32:42.040 Are you still a Whoopi fan?

01:32:43.640 I know we've, over the course of the years with the O&A show.

01:32:47.100 Yes.

01:32:47.700 When we were at XM and then we went over to K-Rock and XM and then Sirius XM.

01:32:57.040 We've always kind of had maybe a bad relationship with Whoopi Goldberg over at The View.

01:33:05.300 We would always torment her show because she was doing a morning show.

01:33:09.760 and then one day we're on the air

01:33:12.460 and Eric Logan just walked her

01:33:14.420 into the studio

01:33:15.160 and I respected her that she came on the show

01:33:18.500 she was fun on the show too

01:33:19.900 we actually got along

01:33:20.840 she was the comic whoopie

01:33:24.300 when she came in 1.00

01:33:25.460 I don't mind the comic whoopie 0.99

01:33:27.780 the sanctimonious whoopie

01:33:31.040 I don't like it either

01:33:33.660 but I've always kind of liked her

01:33:35.240 and she did a half hour

01:33:38.060 many years ago

01:33:38.880 which made her kind of put on the map and made her famous.

01:33:41.540 Yeah. 1.00

01:33:41.780 She was like a one-person show, and she was great.

01:33:43.800 Like, she's a great actress, and it was, like, really good stuff when she was younger.

01:33:48.300 Before, it was the color purple.

01:33:50.000 So I like her for that.

01:33:50.960 She was hungry back then.

01:33:52.460 Yes.

01:33:52.840 She don't look very hungry now.

01:33:54.260 She does not, and I will acknowledge that's a fat joke and say you are correct. 0.99

01:33:58.260 She's been wearing a shower curtain for the last 15 years. 1.00

01:34:01.440 She's a big lady, Ed. 0.95

01:34:02.640 Yes. 1.00

01:34:03.100 Oh, big woman.

01:34:05.520 Yeah, I don't like the sanctimonious either.

01:34:07.940 Yeah.

01:34:08.380 I don't hate her.

01:34:09.160 She's fine, I guess.

01:34:10.180 Who cares?

01:34:10.460 But she gets on there, and I think there's too much control over what she can and can't say and how she has to say it. 0.99

01:34:18.520 And I think she's actually been programmed to be this network puppet for the left and the media.

01:34:31.860 And look, we're already running out of time for this break, but let's play Whoopi.

01:34:37.120 She's talking about how this Jake Tapper book came out about Joe Biden and his his dementia, his obvious dementia.

01:34:45.160 And Whoopi just goes right over and says exactly what we know wasn't true.

01:34:50.660 I know they knew this.

01:34:52.440 So let's listen to Whoopi talk about the Biden Alzheimer's.

01:34:58.820 Pretty much the trust issue.

01:35:00.660 There has always been a mass trust issue because politicians, media, nobody does what they're supposed to do.

01:35:08.100 Now, I say, for me, listen, he's 83, so he's a little stumbly, he's a little rumbly.

01:35:16.800 I can't point to anything that he's done that he did.

01:35:22.580 No, but he's been running for his next four years.

01:35:25.000 But I'm saying, I want, not you, but I want somebody to tell me, well, when did you know it was bad?

01:35:33.800 If you knew, why did you wait?

01:35:35.800 Can I get in for a second?

01:35:38.240 He said that it was after he moderated the debate.

01:35:40.740 Yes, but that's not what I'm talking about.

01:35:44.000 Because the fact that Whoopi didn't know, and she's like, well, when did you know?

01:35:48.440 And why didn't anyone tell us?

01:35:50.960 Everyone was telling you from 2015.

01:35:54.420 Like from 2019, whenever he would try to run for office, we were like, he seems a little off.

01:36:01.240 I think the 47th time I heard the Corn Pop story, I realized this man is a – 0.82

01:36:08.220 A clue? 0.99

01:36:08.520 Yeah, this guy is a mashed potato-brained boob. 0.98

01:36:11.820 He's finished. 0.93

01:36:13.360 They all now – because Jake Tapper put this book out that says everyone knew in the White House and the media knew.

01:36:21.280 Well, they said the media didn't know because we weren't told.

01:36:24.640 They knew.

01:36:24.980 We were telling you.

01:36:26.240 Every guest that went on their show was telling you.

01:36:29.040 And you called them conspiracy theorists and said, well, you're a doctor.

01:36:35.320 You now know you can diagnose the president from what you're seeing.

01:36:39.100 So we all knew.

01:36:40.280 We all said something.

01:36:41.780 The people that didn't tell you were the ones lying to you.

01:36:45.460 It's funny how, like, we always feel like we say things that has no impact, right?

01:36:48.920 No one here.

01:36:49.460 Right.

01:36:49.680 But the complaints about the media and the continuous pointing out.

01:36:53.960 I was watching a clip today.

01:36:55.100 It's blatantly obvious.

01:36:56.480 Jimmy, we will come right back to this.

01:36:58.420 I have to cut you off.

01:36:59.740 Let's take a break.

01:39:03.400 It'll be a nice, easy day.

01:39:04.060 Take a day off.

01:39:04.940 Take a day of leisure.

01:39:06.240 Yeah.

01:39:06.660 No barbecues to go to.

01:39:08.220 But do you have plans?

01:39:09.520 No.

01:39:09.820 Are you going to do anything?

01:39:10.860 No, I'm not.

01:39:11.720 Go to the west side of Manhattan.

01:39:14.280 Look at the battleships and the carriers.

01:39:18.580 What am I, seven?

01:39:19.800 Go look at the big boats.

01:39:21.140 Go look at the big boats.

01:39:21.680 I want to go to a barbecue and be invited to a place.

01:39:24.160 Look at them back into the Brooklyn Bridge and go, 0.99

01:39:26.120 Ay, caramba. 0.99

01:39:29.340 I mean, what are you thinking when you're on the top

01:39:32.180 and you see the boat?

01:39:32.960 Boats not stopping.

01:39:34.040 Boats not stopping.

01:39:35.380 You just got to stand there.

01:39:36.580 Boats not stopping.

01:39:39.040 They said the power went out like the one in Baltimore.

01:39:43.120 The power just shut off and they couldn't stop it.

01:39:44.980 They couldn't do anything.

01:39:45.920 There's a current in that river.

01:39:47.440 It is a river.

01:39:48.340 And it was going the other way.

01:39:50.520 That's not something.

01:39:52.720 Horrifying.

01:39:53.420 It has got to be horrifying. 0.69

01:39:55.580 But people forgot about it pretty quickly because people are racist. 0.90

01:39:58.720 There was two deaths, which just sucks, but it's not like, what's that? 0.99

01:40:02.780 Because people are racist here in this country. 0.98

01:40:04.900 Oh, absolutely. 0.72

01:40:05.400 They see a Mexican flag on a ship that hits the bridge and people are killed.

01:40:10.680 and they just go, well, what day is it?

01:40:13.280 Two days later, meh. 0.53

01:40:15.080 You know, we'd feel much worse if it was Americans. 1.00

01:40:19.580 It's terrible, but that's kind of the way it is. 1.00

01:40:21.620 It is the truth.

01:40:22.260 We always want to know how many Americans.

01:40:24.240 Don't we always do that? 1.00

01:40:25.620 Like, how many Americans would kill them?

01:40:27.020 And the media does it, too.

01:40:28.360 They're like, oh, three Americans were part of that plane.

01:40:31.380 I bet every country does it, though.

01:40:33.040 Yeah.

01:40:33.340 They just think of their own countrymen.

01:40:35.320 But we think of it, I think, even more.

01:40:37.460 We should.

01:40:38.240 Because we really don't care.

01:40:40.680 and anything happens to people anywhere.

01:40:44.200 And don't we care more if something isn't that far away?

01:40:48.040 Like we care, like let's say something happened in the Bahamas.

01:40:52.360 Wouldn't we care a little more than if it happened half a world away?

01:40:56.940 It would depend on what it was.

01:40:58.340 You think?

01:40:58.900 Sure.

01:40:59.700 I mean, if it was Aruba.

01:41:01.960 Like Greece.

01:41:02.720 We wouldn't care if something happened in Greece.

01:41:05.060 I mean, they're kind of going broke anyway, aren't they?

01:41:08.100 All the EU is going broke, except for France and Germany.

01:41:12.200 I want to go to Greece.

01:41:13.700 You do?

01:41:14.140 Yeah, I want to go there once.

01:41:15.140 That makes perfect sense.

01:41:17.000 Jim Norton with authentic Greek features.

01:41:21.420 That's what I'm looking at the statues.

01:41:24.240 Sorry, not allowed to do that while you look at the statues.

01:41:26.440 A lot bigger than mine.

01:41:27.960 They're tiny.

01:41:29.080 They sure are.

01:41:29.940 No hands, no arms.

01:41:31.720 They can't even enjoy them.

01:41:34.000 They can't even hide them.

01:41:35.820 Stand there being mocked. 0.99

01:41:37.340 pathetic would you go would you go to a country for art would you like you're going overseas 0.98

01:41:43.840 with the florentine right yes to see sabbath it's july 5th in birmingham so we're doing a gig in 0.99

01:41:51.460 london and a gig in manchester and a gig in birmingham just to pay for the airfare and the

01:41:56.000 hotels like i just don't want to lose money right right but you want to see sabbath final show

01:42:00.820 yeah it's their final show yeah the last time the all four of the original members will be on

01:42:05.320 together so you gotta go of course i don't even care if it's good like whatever they can do they'll

01:42:09.940 do i all i care about is being there just want to be there and see them and yeah maybe say hello

01:42:14.180 that's it yeah do you think you get a chance to say hi i i hope so i bet i mean i might i don't

01:42:19.160 know if they're doing pictures but i would love you'll worm your way i will i'll slither under

01:42:24.300 the door like an odor like cyanide slither under the door hi guys me again but i do want to see

01:42:34.080 them one that is very very cool i've never done it before like traveled like that for a show

01:42:39.240 when i was a kid rush was on tour in like 1982 and i went and bought a ticket for 35 dollars which

01:42:46.620 was all the money in the world back then yeah but i knew i wouldn't come to new york and see it i

01:42:51.120 knew i wasn't gonna because i had no one to go with really yeah so i might have bought two tickets

01:42:55.580 or one ticket and i just wound up eating it or giving it to someone you uh you're you're performing

01:43:01.480 though. Who

01:43:03.340 books your gigs over there? Because isn't that

01:43:05.560 somebody who's regretting that, I'm sure. 0.99

01:43:08.560 Just take a beating 0.99

01:43:09.480 on it. Not somebody who's 0.99

01:43:11.520 going to keep their job for a long time. Is it scary?

01:43:14.320 Like overseas? You've played

01:43:15.640 overseas. I've done England. I've

01:43:17.540 done Europe. Yeah, once.

01:43:19.480 It was fine. How were you received?

01:43:21.740 I mean, the same is here

01:43:23.500 kind of with

01:43:24.760 surprisingly

01:43:26.580 contempt and a surprisingly

01:43:30.020 international indifference 0.98

01:43:31.360 i mean uh like when you do you have to uh like crap on america is that like a thing they go for 0.93

01:43:42.760 or like you saw recently bruce was over there springsteen and then he he like hey well america 0.89

01:43:49.600 is a terrible place now the president and and i don't know i don't i kind of don't uh

01:43:56.120 maybe it's just me i mean springsteen i don't mind as much because he's very good friends

01:44:01.140 with Obama and he has been this guy

01:44:03.000 for a year. Like, it's not like he

01:44:04.980 just became this guy. If a guy has been

01:44:07.080 pretty consistently

01:44:08.220 one way, I'm more tolerant of it

01:44:11.160 than somebody who just all of a sudden shows up.

01:44:13.160 When was, was he,

01:44:14.580 I guess he did rag on Reagan

01:44:16.560 when Reagan was trying to use

01:44:18.280 Ain't That America, not Ain't That America,

01:44:20.300 Born in the USA. 1.00

01:44:21.960 Like all these America

01:44:23.320 songs that Reagan tried to use, he didn't

01:44:25.380 realize they were anti-

01:44:26.740 anti-American songs.

01:44:28.980 Because he wanted to use Pink Houses.

01:44:31.140 Also, Ain't That America, John Cougar.

01:44:35.960 Isn't that pro-America or no?

01:44:37.300 No, it's not.

01:44:38.480 Apparently, every America song is like, screw America.

01:44:42.200 John Cougar, Mellencamp.

01:44:43.620 Ugh, enough of him.

01:44:45.160 Yes.

01:44:46.040 Oh.

01:44:48.960 Is he a relative?

01:44:50.520 Yeah, he's a distant cousin.

01:44:52.360 A distant cousin or something.

01:44:54.120 Yeah.

01:44:54.980 Yeah, every America song, you're like, oh, that sounds good.

01:44:58.360 Like, I would have thought Born in the USA was a pro-America song.

01:45:02.480 I would have, too.

01:45:03.160 And Pink Houses, you know, Ain't That America for You and Me, Little Pink Houses for You and Me.

01:45:07.620 And it turns out they're all, like, screw America songs.

01:45:12.080 I didn't realize that.

01:45:13.040 Yeah, they just sound good.

01:45:14.240 How about Coming to America by Neil Diamond?

01:45:18.840 Traveling far.

01:45:20.360 I don't like that one. 1.00

01:45:22.800 They're coming to America.

01:45:24.780 Get the border patrol to send them back 1.00

01:45:29.120 When they come into America 1.00

01:45:31.660 The murderous citizen and be freed 1.00

01:45:34.880 They come, they're ruining America 1.00

01:45:37.740 They're raping, robbing, and killing 1.00

01:45:39.900 When they come to America 1.00

01:45:42.460 Donald Trump is shipping them back 1.00

01:45:46.500 At a very impressive rate

01:45:49.900 Yeah, well, not impressive enough for some

01:45:53.840 sitting right here.

01:45:56.440 I mean, it is crazy.

01:45:58.000 I was born here.

01:45:59.460 You going?

01:46:01.140 Bye-bye.

01:46:02.120 Home to mommy.

01:46:03.840 Oh, it's like, I guess the big thing is they say due process.

01:46:09.600 People need due process. 0.57

01:46:10.700 But I think the due process of being illegally here is that you get deported. 0.82

01:46:16.280 That's the process that you are due. 1.00

01:46:19.360 You came here illegally.

01:46:20.940 you don't have to go through a jury trial and be found what guilty of coming here it's not

01:46:28.300 a thing that due process dictates you need a trial for you're here not a trial but don't you have to

01:46:35.420 get like they have to make sure that you're like whatever it is you're seeking is not legit but

01:46:40.020 they could throw you out in the interim like while they're looking up hey do you have a valid reason

01:46:46.660 to claim sanctuary here in America.

01:46:49.780 Let's look.

01:46:50.760 Oh, by the way, while we're looking, get out.

01:46:54.040 Get out. 0.96

01:46:55.560 Get out. 1.00

01:47:00.320 Mexicans coming in here, Alice. 1.00

01:47:03.180 Whatever it is, I just want them to do it by the book, 1.00

01:47:05.780 only because having dealt with immigration, 0.83

01:47:08.980 they make everyone do it by the book. 1.00

01:47:12.840 So I'm for it.

01:47:13.840 Get anyone illegal out.

01:47:15.220 Fine.

01:47:15.740 I'm fine with it.

01:47:16.540 But I think that's what they have to do.

01:47:18.120 And I just also can't understand why people are pushing so hard for a guy that, look, I don't care about semantics or we don't know what's a gang member.

01:47:30.640 I think he's got apocalypto tattoos.

01:47:33.760 Yeah.

01:47:34.120 And they're just like, no, he needs to come back.

01:47:38.260 It's such a just being a contrarian to Donald Trump.

01:47:42.500 Donald Trump wants this.

01:47:43.860 Let's not want it.

01:47:45.120 A hundred percent.

01:47:46.540 I want him to come back and then be shipped out again

01:47:48.800 because don't give them the ammunition.

01:47:51.420 You want to give him miles?

01:47:52.240 You want to give him airline miles?

01:47:53.780 Is that what it is?

01:47:54.520 And I don't think he's a Maryland dad.

01:47:56.140 I agree.

01:47:56.960 I think he's a dad member.

01:47:58.220 Yeah, yeah, Maryland dad.

01:47:58.720 He's just a regular guy.

01:47:59.960 In order to keep the integrity of what you're doing,

01:48:02.660 I think you got it.

01:48:03.600 Like, it's annoying.

01:48:04.920 Yeah.

01:48:05.320 But you know what?

01:48:06.060 If you made a mistake, bring him back, fix it.

01:48:08.760 Yeah, it's a waste.

01:48:09.380 But then all of a sudden, that's done.

01:48:11.560 He's out.

01:48:12.040 I just think it should be like that.

01:48:13.220 You can't set a precedent where they do it for every single person they deported.

01:48:17.720 Because, you know, it's the give them an inch, they take a mile, these liberal Democrats.

01:48:23.180 So you let them do that.

01:48:24.800 Well, for me, it's give an inch, and I claimed I had eight.

01:48:30.820 Give them an inch, it still hurts.

01:48:35.220 They just, they would do it for every single case.

01:48:39.460 You can't set a precedent.

01:48:40.820 it just you're illegal here uh you know get out i i don't have any because we had to do it legally

01:48:47.260 so i don't have yeah any desire to keep people who are illegal here here like we had to do with

01:48:53.060 anyone that's had to go through the nonsense yeah or you know whatever it is not maybe not

01:48:58.120 nonsense maybe it's the real way it should happen and then you see people come in here illegally

01:49:02.940 And then you see them get, like, unbelievable benefits and stuff.

01:49:09.140 It's just not a fair way of doing it.

01:49:11.540 And I'm not like, it's not fair.

01:49:13.160 It's just it has to be fair.

01:49:15.000 That's supposedly the way we do things here. 0.95

01:49:17.580 It does suck, yeah, when I see money going.

01:49:19.560 Of course, I hate seeing that. 0.96

01:49:21.540 Your money.

01:49:22.360 Yeah, my hard.

01:49:23.860 You're hard-earned.

01:49:24.980 But I don't like it. 0.99

01:49:26.780 Having dealt with immigration, though, like, a lot, and I mean for years. 1.00

01:49:30.880 Yeah. 1.00

01:49:31.740 It's antiquated the way they do it.

01:49:33.940 It should be a 24-hour system.

01:49:36.360 It's banker's hours. 1.00

01:49:37.860 They still use the stupid U.S. postal. 1.00

01:49:40.340 What are you doing? 1.00

01:49:41.560 There's so many ways to make it faster.

01:49:44.700 It should not be the nightmare experience, the bureaucratic sludge that it is.

01:49:51.360 Isn't that something that it takes years?

01:49:54.160 I think that's a tactic to get people to not want to do it, maybe.

01:50:01.080 You feel like it's never going to end, but you have to do it right.

01:50:04.520 Like, my lawyer was, like, literally everything has to be right.

01:50:12.020 And he said it has to stand up to scrutiny.

01:50:13.800 And I had a great lawyer.

01:50:15.200 I was very lucky.

01:50:16.720 But, like. 1.00

01:50:17.000 Jewish. 0.87

01:50:17.980 I don't know. 0.80

01:50:19.420 I asked.

01:50:20.600 I demanded he tell me, and he just wouldn't.

01:50:23.340 He showed me his.

01:50:24.400 I say that.

01:50:25.160 I forgot where I was.

01:50:27.200 But I caught myself.

01:50:28.940 Close. 1.00

01:50:29.420 it's just a pain in the ass 0.99

01:50:32.140 they should do 24 hours 0.99

01:50:34.080 I think the court system should be 24 hours

01:50:36.320 more people are employed, more judges

01:50:38.300 more court people

01:50:39.100 there's really no reason that things take years

01:50:42.340 you should be able to do it at night

01:50:44.480 if you're willing to

01:50:45.940 are you willing to come at 2 in the morning

01:50:47.820 yes I am, no I'm not

01:50:50.140 speed it up

01:50:51.240 there are people running typewriters

01:50:53.700 like old school typewriters

01:50:55.760 to do paperwork for things like

01:50:58.280 immigration and uh in the judicial system and why is that with all the money that is being thrown

01:51:05.840 around that we've seen i think because of things like trump and elon and doge we just see the

01:51:10.680 corruption and waste going on why isn't our system up to date where there's still people clickety

01:51:18.800 clacking away on typewriters um for things that are pretty important and should be expedient

01:51:26.440 Because they don't care.

01:51:28.360 They're working for the government.

01:51:29.940 They don't care.

01:51:30.740 It doesn't personally mean anything to them.

01:51:32.420 It has no effect on their life, so what do they care for?

01:51:35.200 I typically don't care about things that have no effect on me.

01:51:37.780 Yeah, that's true.

01:51:38.200 I'm like, ah, so what?

01:51:39.860 Big deal.

01:51:40.700 Ah, big whoop.

01:51:44.680 That's what it is.

01:51:46.380 We'll be back in a matter of moments with Jim Norton on The Anthony Cumia Show.

01:51:52.400 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:51:59.560 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:52:06.040 Yes.

01:52:07.880 Welcome back, Anthony Cumia Show, on a great Memorial Day weekend Sunday.

01:52:15.300 Wondrous.

01:52:15.980 You want to give myself and Mr. Jim Norton a call here at the station?

01:52:22.320 800-848-9222.

01:52:25.480 That would be 800-848-9222.

01:52:30.160 Ponder us.

01:52:31.620 Yes, give us a call and we'll chit-chat with you.

01:52:35.900 That's how we roll, yo.

01:52:38.000 So, Jimmy, obviously, his little hummingbird bladder needed a little relief.

01:52:46.360 He's got a bladder like a tiny little hummingbird.

01:52:50.160 I think the waist comes out all at once like a little bird.

01:52:53.740 What do you got there, Jim?

01:52:55.340 Wow.

01:52:55.960 A little snickety snack?

01:52:58.360 Some pretzels?

01:53:00.040 That I'm being very naughty in the snack room. 0.99

01:53:02.780 fat pig oinker 0.98

01:53:05.800 got himself a couple 0.99

01:53:06.900 another small bag of pretzels

01:53:08.660 and then back to the old diet tomorrow

01:53:10.200 it's Memorial Day weekend

01:53:11.260 you can cheat

01:53:13.000 it's a cheat weekend

01:53:14.480 I'm going to right after we leave here 0.97

01:53:16.200 I'm going to go catch monkey pox

01:53:18.760 again

01:53:20.540 yeah maybe people could call in

01:53:23.620 and we could chat with them

01:53:24.540 when you drive around

01:53:26.680 in New York City

01:53:28.400 you don't see what you used to

01:53:31.160 because 1.00

01:53:32.320 There were a lot of prostitutes in New York City, especially on the West Side. 0.99

01:53:37.580 West Side Highway by the Javits Center was like a lot.

01:53:41.840 How did that – because you look at Mayor Adams and de Blasio before him.

01:53:48.020 They really weren't putting the noose on a lot of the crime that was going on in this city.

01:53:55.340 And I know Giuliani really put a stop to all that.

01:53:58.500 why hasn't that really come back like it it was the internet there's no need for it like wow years

01:54:04.720 ago i was riding around and i would i would cruise for hours and look and i remember one time i i

01:54:10.500 would see hookers in cars and they'd pull up next to you and proposition you from the cars so cops

01:54:15.700 couldn't nail them so that was that was 20 years ago and then it started to once the internet is 0.84

01:54:20.920 what it is it's easier for them it's safer for them than standing on a corner to just do ads

01:54:26.260 Everyone looks on their phone now, or they look online.

01:54:28.520 Like, why would you ride around for hours where you can just look for someone on an ad?

01:54:33.200 I think that's my theory.

01:54:34.580 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.

01:54:47.680 Because that's more dangerous for them, to getting arrested and also just getting beaten up or assaulted.

01:54:51.980 At least online, what I did was very quick. 0.98

01:54:56.260 and didn't hurt at all i think i was a perfect trip just just perfect trick just flick my nipples 0.97

01:55:02.020 and just look at i mean i was so easy i was so easy oh just an easy few but they saw you coming 0.96

01:55:08.660 an easy few bucks relationship guy yeah i'm like as i'm driving him back so you don't need to do

01:55:14.360 this oh no you were saving them oh i i remember one time i was going to a sober dance i was probably

01:55:21.240 19 and i was driving this girl i used to love talking to them after we'd have sex so i was 0.91

01:55:26.140 driving this one girl back who's a white hooker i picked up in new jersey and i'll never forget 0.51

01:55:31.480 she goes why are you doing this like a unicorn well no not quite that good hopefully but years 0.99

01:55:38.180 later i discovered that put your head down fella why are you a horn squatting me so i was driving

01:55:48.360 She goes, you don't need to be doing this.

01:55:50.580 Why are you doing this?

01:55:51.600 You're a good-looking guy.

01:55:53.020 Oh, she was telling you this.

01:55:54.880 Yeah, she was telling me this.

01:55:56.340 Oh.

01:55:58.060 But I always enjoyed chatting afterwards.

01:56:00.520 That was always fun.

01:56:01.480 Yeah, a little chit-chat.

01:56:02.820 A little chit-chat. 0.86

01:56:03.880 With the girl.

01:56:05.060 Yeah, just a little connection.

01:56:06.320 Did they just want to get out and get to the next guy?

01:56:08.840 I mean, no, it was easy.

01:56:10.020 Again, I was never into being a complete menace.

01:56:13.780 So I think that I was an easy one compared to what else might have been out there in

01:56:18.120 that neighborhood did you try to bargain or were you like whatever the price was i'm paying no i

01:56:23.180 very rarely would bargain not in person you ever get robbed no but my one boss did i had a very

01:56:29.600 fat boss and i worked for a company did you work for eric he's not even here the poor little whale

01:56:37.900 it's just

01:56:41.860 and never ends

01:56:43.280 never

01:56:43.980 I would

01:56:46.320 this one

01:56:46.960 I'll tell you her name 0.60

01:56:47.800 was Pam 0.81

01:56:48.180 was her first name 0.98

01:56:48.880 and she was a 1.00

01:56:50.120 short haired gal 1.00

01:56:51.120 very attractive 1.00

01:56:52.560 she looked like

01:56:53.080 the boat captain

01:56:53.840 from Apocalypse Now 0.89

01:56:54.980 and she would

01:56:56.000 and she would

01:56:58.800 and she was

01:57:01.800 not the best looking 0.99

01:57:03.780 but very skilled

01:57:05.400 so one time 0.82

01:57:06.860 She came around where I was working, and my boss at the time wanted to, and he was an older, fat guy.

01:57:12.080 I'm like, just take your wallet out and put it in your desk.

01:57:16.000 Don't have it in your pocket because they go through your pocket.

01:57:18.260 The best of them do it.

01:57:19.900 And I came back to work on Monday. 0.83

01:57:21.960 Jim, she took my money.

01:57:24.160 I go, what happened? 0.96

01:57:24.880 She took my wallet.

01:57:26.600 I'm like, was it in your pants?

01:57:27.780 He goes, yeah.

01:57:28.560 I'm like, you got it.

01:57:29.640 Did he have a spear in his chest? 1.00

01:57:34.080 Darn it. 1.00

01:57:35.000 Oh, wait. 1.00

01:57:35.340 The girl looked like him.

01:57:36.460 I got confused 0.67

01:57:38.240 I'm going to take your wallet 1.00

01:57:43.020 On the Nung River, Captain 1.00

01:57:44.320 She took his wallet 0.97

01:57:51.180 I told you

01:57:52.600 Did I ever get robbed?

01:57:55.860 I don't think so

01:57:57.700 But I'm very paranoid and careful

01:58:00.060 I was really

01:58:01.680 Did you ever have to deal with a pimp

01:58:03.520 Like a guy intermediary

01:58:05.760 that was threatening sometimes but never anything threatening no but again i have a pretty good

01:58:10.460 instinct and i would ride around for like i would make sure the coast was clear and i would talk to

01:58:15.800 them a little bit i was very meticulous like even in the midst of crazy addiction i wasn't

01:58:20.820 so reckless that i was like anybody in like i was paranoid always paranoid um so no never and

01:58:27.780 if something felt weird the energy felt aggressive yeah uh i told you one time i went into this

01:58:34.420 building on second avenue and uh it was supposed to be like this massage and it was a railroad

01:58:39.680 apartment and i walked in i handed it was like 300 bucks i handed her the money and then she

01:58:44.040 went to the door and like handed it to someone outside the door and then i sat with her and it

01:58:48.600 was a blackened out railroad apartment there was like fruit flies in the bathtub with like

01:58:53.360 burger king wrappers it looked almost abandoned and we sat on the couch and she was holding a

01:58:58.380 screwdriver whoa and i got the feeling that someone else was in the room with us like that

01:59:03.600 But there was someone, because the lights were out.

01:59:06.000 And I'm like, someone else is in.

01:59:07.020 It was a crazy animal instinct.

01:59:10.160 And I just left.

01:59:11.260 I told her, yeah, I'm not feeling it.

01:59:12.400 I let her keep the money.

01:59:13.340 I'm like, something bad is going to happen.

01:59:15.240 You let her keep the money.

01:59:16.260 You ran for your life.

01:59:17.740 I just had a bad.

01:59:20.680 It came over me.

01:59:21.940 All my instincts were like, get out of here right now.

01:59:24.700 Trying a bear mask.

01:59:27.040 Giving favors to a man on a bed.

01:59:30.000 Danny.

01:59:31.080 Danny.

01:59:31.980 That was many years ago.

01:59:33.200 I went and saw Colin that night, wherever he was.

01:59:35.380 That was probably 20 years ago.

01:59:37.180 But I just remembered, something bad's going to happen.

01:59:39.580 Get out of here.

01:59:40.300 I'm sure she thought of that when I walked in.

01:59:42.320 I'll be right back.

01:59:43.720 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:59:51.060 It's the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:59:53.380 Entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

01:59:58.140 Yes, the Anthony Cumia Show.

01:59:59.600 So wasn't that – I think that was Bill O'Reilly saying they were doing what they paid to do.

02:00:05.160 Shock.

02:00:06.480 Was it?

02:00:07.080 I don't remember.

02:00:07.760 I didn't hear the clip.

02:00:08.200 I think it was.

02:00:09.180 Me and Opie had done an interview with Bill O'Reilly many years ago.

02:00:14.520 It was a special on horrible things in the media. 0.95

02:00:19.620 And we were featured on it as just pieces of garbage, which we were, of course. 0.97

02:00:25.080 Accurate portrayal. 0.99

02:00:25.660 Yes, yes.

02:00:27.180 And, yeah, and it came off very confrontational because that's, you know,

02:00:32.140 that was what Bill was doing at the time and everything.

02:00:34.420 And we were the shock jocks, so pretty interesting.

02:00:37.800 I'll be filling in for Mr. O'Reilly this Monday, Monday through Friday this week

02:00:42.920 from 9 to 10 p.m.

02:02:46.340 We apologize.

02:02:47.420 What were you saying, dear?

02:02:49.260 108 pounds.

02:02:50.940 I'm just saying I'm glad I don't know you because if you said something about me, wow, I don't think I could handle it.

02:02:57.180 But that's okay.

02:02:58.040 Okay.

02:02:58.580 You got the, you're a little bit on the mean side.

02:03:01.820 We tend to be.

02:03:03.140 We're just rekindling our old meanness from the last century.

02:03:07.820 Yeah, we apologize.

02:03:08.920 You're a star.

02:03:09.760 No, I don't care.

02:03:10.400 You're a wonderful girl, Sandra.

02:03:11.880 You call me every week, and I appreciate it.

02:03:14.020 She's a spinner. 0.78

02:03:14.960 Yeah, yeah. 1.00

02:03:15.700 She's a spinner. 1.00

02:03:16.140 She's a spinner.

02:03:17.620 So what do you think about what you said about heavy people on planes?

02:03:21.200 That's why I called.

02:03:22.180 Yeah, I believe that, like, you have to pay extra for your baggage if it's over 50 pounds.

02:03:29.140 That heavy people should have to pay extra or buy two seats.

02:03:33.620 I was shoved in between two very rotund men in coach class flying from Atlanta to Greenville.

02:03:43.020 Thank God it was a short flight.

02:03:45.220 But their underarm fat and their rolls were piling into me.

02:03:51.700 It was wet and fat and sweaty and hot.

02:03:55.380 I know.

02:03:56.340 Yeah.

02:03:56.820 They should be kicked out with Operation Dumbo Drop. 1.00

02:03:59.500 Get those oinkers off the plane. 1.00

02:04:01.180 Yes. 1.00

02:04:02.200 Yes.

02:04:02.760 Why can they charge you?

02:04:05.700 Like, I weigh myself, and then I'll put 50 pounds on for luggage, right?

02:04:10.080 Why then, if that is lower than a fat person with carry-on, why the hell do I have to pay?

02:04:18.520 I know.

02:04:19.160 I understand what you're saying.

02:04:20.680 I'm not saying you're wrong.

02:04:22.560 I have a question for Anthony, dear.

02:04:25.140 What?

02:04:25.440 Now, I remember that.

02:04:26.540 Your flight got delayed or something, right?

02:04:28.280 Yes, it was terrible, tragic.

02:04:29.740 Why wouldn't you just drive?

02:04:31.320 What was that, a three-hour drive?

02:04:32.760 Why would you rent a car and drive?

02:04:35.120 How tiny was the plane you were on?

02:04:37.140 It wasn't.

02:04:38.100 I think it was a 737, actually, from Atlanta to Greenville.

02:04:41.720 Really?

02:04:42.080 By the time they got up, they were already coming down.

02:04:44.620 Why didn't you just drive three hours?

02:04:46.060 No, I'm not going to drive.

02:04:47.960 It's 2025.

02:04:49.960 What am I going to do?

02:04:50.360 Why didn't you take a Conestoga wagon, Anthony?

02:04:54.500 There's horses in Atlanta.

02:04:56.200 You could clippity-clop your way to Greenville.

02:05:00.040 Dude, I drive so much more when I can.

02:05:02.760 Because the flying at the airport, it's just – but you don't mind the bumps.

02:05:05.420 You don't care.

02:05:06.180 I don't care if I can get somewhere, even if – because I had to wait a day.

02:05:11.500 I had to spend an evening in Atlanta, which for me wasn't very nice.

02:05:15.240 I know, absolutely.

02:05:16.440 Trust me.

02:05:17.060 They weren't happy you were there.

02:05:18.400 No, of course not.

02:05:19.660 But I would rather wait and fly than drive that time.

02:05:25.620 I hate driving long distances.

02:05:27.840 Short distances in a nice sports car, I love it.

02:05:31.280 Get me in there.

02:05:32.180 The second it's over an hour and a half, going into two hours, I'm done.

02:05:36.460 I hate it.

02:05:37.000 So you went, I just drove to D.C. last week.

02:05:39.460 I'm doing, I forgot, I'm doing Ridgefield and Kingston, New York next week.

02:05:43.340 One's an hour, one's like two hours.

02:05:45.520 Like to Boston I drive.

02:05:46.900 Like you'll fly to Boston?

02:05:48.940 Oh, hell yeah.

02:05:50.040 From New York, you mean.

02:05:51.220 Yeah.

02:05:51.460 Because obviously South Carolina I would fly.

02:05:53.220 I would drive to New York, South Carolina.

02:05:54.360 I had a gig in Florida at the Black Box in Boca, and I flew there.

02:06:02.900 How long would the drive have been?

02:06:04.300 The drive probably would have been maybe five hours, I guess. 1.00

02:06:06.960 You're crazy. 0.89

02:06:07.480 I would drive in a second. 1.00

02:06:08.440 I get on that plane.

02:06:09.620 I'm there.

02:06:10.320 I'm at the hotel by the pool.

02:06:12.140 By the time you'd be putting it in drive.

02:06:15.080 Yeah, I understand.

02:06:16.680 Hey, Sandra.

02:06:17.800 I'm saying goodbye to you.

02:06:18.600 Yes.

02:06:19.080 Anything else, dear?

02:06:21.240 No, I was about to say I'm going to say goodbye to you guys.

02:06:23.620 You guys love to talk to each other

02:06:25.380 I enjoy listening to you, you're very funny

02:06:27.360 Me and Jimmy are dear friends

02:06:35.120 And we're just having a little conversation

02:06:36.440 A little different this Sunday, Sandra

02:06:40.280 It was so crazy

02:06:42.760 We both got called to this house

02:06:45.120 And went in for the same slice of pizza

02:06:46.860 Wow

02:06:49.040 Then we reconnected on Grindr

02:06:51.800 Yes, Sandra, you can say something

02:06:56.020 Of course

02:06:59.720 I got together with a friend that I know

02:07:02.080 From many, many years ago

02:07:03.380 So it was really nice to see someone

02:07:05.600 That I knew a while ago

02:07:06.880 And just see each other and remember things

02:07:10.360 Just like you guys are doing

02:07:56.200 norton um 800-848-9222 uh speaking of planes though jimmy that you had to have seen this

02:08:05.120 you're a man uh you're you're you know what's going on in the news yeah the the stand-up seats

02:08:12.600 in airplanes

02:08:13.880 I think it was Orion Air

02:08:16.940 in Ireland they were talking about doing that

02:08:18.340 where they have them

02:08:20.680 these are different than

02:08:22.100 ones that were stacked up almost

02:08:24.220 where your face

02:08:26.840 is right 0.99

02:08:29.000 where the ass of the person 0.99

02:08:31.040 sitting above you is 1.00

02:08:32.600 but I don't think that their ass is in your face 0.99

02:08:34.300 it's a new one 0.99

02:08:36.300 where they're very close together

02:08:38.620 and it doesn't have a seat

02:08:40.500 for you to sit in

02:08:41.320 It's kind of this angled thing with a bump where your groin goes.

02:08:46.380 Yeah, you're kind of standing.

02:08:47.220 So you don't slide off of it, and you're standing.

02:08:50.220 It looks like the most uncomfortable thing you could possibly sit in.

02:08:53.860 I would try it once, though.

02:08:55.240 It's probably, I'm going to guess for like two and a half hour flights or less.

02:08:58.700 I'm going to guess it's for shorter flights.

02:09:00.620 Insanity.

02:09:01.120 I would do this for 15 minutes. 1.00

02:09:03.460 And the one I was talking about, the ass, I think that the guy's ass is not in your face. 0.99

02:09:07.480 Like, I think there's the plastic. 0.99

02:09:08.720 The seat moves in the...

02:09:10.340 I don't think you're actually seeing it.

02:09:11.540 Really?

02:09:12.080 I think so, yeah.

02:09:13.040 Because the seat is there.

02:09:14.780 The picture I saw, they put a pretty girl in the top seat.

02:09:18.640 Oh.

02:09:19.220 So you're sitting there and going, yeah, I wouldn't mind.

02:09:21.620 A little waft.

02:09:22.500 Yeah, normally I have to put my head in a box for this view.

02:09:28.800 A little waft would be nice. 1.00

02:09:30.980 Yeah, maybe she has the Mexican food, a little poof. 0.98

02:09:33.380 Like if it's you or Florentine sitting up there... 0.99

02:09:35.820 You're in deep trouble.

02:09:36.540 There's going to be a problem.

02:09:37.800 So I don't know.

02:09:39.820 I wax fantastic, as they say, about the good old days of real first class.

02:09:48.580 You get a first class flight now, if it's two hours or less, it's not first class.

02:09:54.640 They should just call it kind of a bigger seat, and that's really the only thing you're getting.

02:10:00.480 They do business now internationally.

02:10:02.000 It's like a lot of the three class services are no good.

02:10:04.720 They just have business and coach.

02:10:06.880 You take a low class?

02:10:09.080 Call me when you have no class.

02:10:10.820 No class.

02:10:11.740 All right.

02:10:12.660 Yeah, but I'm flying business to England.

02:10:15.900 I won't fly coast to England, but I'm using miles, and it's costing me all of my United

02:10:20.620 miles, like 500,000 miles to go round-trip business.

02:10:25.480 And what airline is that? 0.98

02:10:27.440 I'm doing United out of Newark, which, I mean, literally, I couldn't be stupider. 0.97

02:10:34.920 They really have screwed the pooch on their air traffic control over there. 0.99

02:10:39.020 They've always been terrible. 1.00

02:10:40.440 I've been flying down to Newark for 30 years. 1.00

02:10:41.880 They suck. 0.99

02:10:42.880 They've always sucked, and they've just gotten exponentially worse. 1.00

02:10:46.360 They don't have money to do what they need to do, and infrastructure. 0.95

02:10:52.260 You could have the money, but if you don't have the person that's going to put the refurbation in place,

02:10:59.720 they're using systems that are so old.

02:11:02.900 They're so old.

02:11:04.300 How old are they? 0.99

02:11:06.580 Mwah.

02:11:07.340 They have moths flying out of their poop.

02:11:10.880 I was, one time I said, we're going to land.

02:11:13.540 And they said, is this Amelia Earhart?

02:11:15.260 Ed.

02:11:16.160 Ah.

02:11:19.180 70-year-olds are rolling.

02:11:20.960 They are just laughing.

02:11:23.060 They're barely remembering what we're talking about.

02:11:27.040 Yeah, so going to England, though, you have to, you cannot fly coach for a flight that

02:11:34.000 long especially 2025 coach no i mean and hopefully i'll be able just to relax a little bit and i'm

02:11:40.140 also because it's such a fun thing to do uh you know since i left or serious xm and i parted ways

02:11:46.000 yes i've been a little more cautious with money doing a lot more road work just yeah a little 0.96

02:11:51.120 bit more like making sure i'm not gotta do not stupid you don't want to be stupid so you know 0.99

02:11:57.320 I'll use miles. 0.99

02:11:58.260 I'm not going to just spring for a seat.

02:12:00.800 The flight over there, though, Coach would be a nightmare, especially these days.

02:12:07.720 I look at some of these old films where they're like, here they are on the Pan Am Clipper going to Europe.

02:12:15.940 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.

02:12:30.260 And this is for Coach.

02:12:35.140 This is for Coach.

02:12:37.140 But back then, though, here's the disadvantage.

02:12:39.560 Yeah.

02:12:39.800 Those planes, like the Clipper and stuff, didn't they fly at, like, a lot of them flew

02:12:44.780 at, like, 13,000 or 14,000 feet?

02:12:46.280 They're a little higher, but not under the weather.

02:12:48.400 You were right through it.

02:12:49.800 They would have vomit buckets.

02:12:51.560 They would give you, like, buckets to throw up in. 0.88

02:12:53.820 Roast beef and vomit buckets here on the Clipper.

02:12:57.240 And they had some of those cool, like, bongs that you could sleep in.

02:13:00.380 Like, there were some amazing lounges and stuff.

02:13:04.420 And here's another thing.

02:13:05.500 I did it again.

02:13:08.040 I mean, I did it again.

02:13:09.960 I know. 0.98

02:13:10.480 You know, I thought I didn't curse because I didn't put the N part on. 0.99

02:13:13.820 Right. 0.74

02:13:14.160 No, not the N part. 0.50

02:13:15.240 Yeah. 0.99

02:13:15.700 The F-N. 0.63

02:13:16.440 Yeah. 0.92

02:13:16.820 I just said the F part, but that's a curse, too. 0.77

02:13:19.720 Yeah, you don't have to put the N at the end of it. 0.81

02:13:21.520 Yeah, yeah.

02:13:22.120 I get that.

02:13:25.180 It's one of the things about flying that I hate now.

02:13:29.360 They don't...

02:13:30.320 Oh, God, now I curse, so I can't really recall what I said.

02:13:35.740 Oh, they don't?

02:13:36.460 It's terrible.

02:13:37.060 I thought I was a professional, but I'm not.

02:13:41.900 Yeah, corn pop.

02:13:44.980 Because I curse.

02:13:46.420 You were saying about flying in the old days.

02:13:49.260 Yeah, the good old roast beef.

02:13:50.940 The good old roast beef flying.

02:13:53.260 No, it's never coming back.

02:13:55.320 It's never coming back.

02:13:57.400 Let's talk to Rose.

02:22:09.740 Oh, boy.

02:22:10.860 Sponsored by Geritol.

02:22:11.980 And, you know, we all get a little older here.

02:22:20.580 This is what happens.

02:22:24.340 I saw a clip

02:22:26.940 I guess Metallica was playing

02:22:28.720 and at some point when the band

02:22:31.040 is doing something James

02:22:32.180 comes down off stage he sits in a

02:22:35.040 chair and like

02:22:36.560 gets the wax off of his ear

02:22:38.960 buds and puts them back in and

02:22:40.840 blows his nose and lights

02:22:42.780 a cigar and takes

02:22:44.800 a sip of a beverage and just sits there

02:22:46.980 and it's like yeah

02:22:48.200 and a lot of people say

02:22:50.000 in the comments it was like

02:22:52.520 i bet he just wants to be home at this point do you think a band like metallica and you're talking

02:22:59.920 stadiums packed with more people than i don't think any other band yeah could outdraw any

02:23:05.800 rock band could outdraw metallica maybe the stones and at yeah at this point um but do you think

02:23:13.020 you get tired of that that he does it before the show too as he's waiting for the music yes i think

02:23:19.780 He's just taking a break during a drum solo.

02:23:22.340 Well, I'm not necessarily saying what he did there indicates that he's tired of it.

02:23:27.000 Like, that's great.

02:23:27.820 If you could step off stage, take a breather, take a cigar and drink, that's great.

02:23:32.220 But, like, just the time, how long, how many times do you do it to where you just go, I kind of want to just be home?

02:23:42.280 Yeah, how much fun?

02:23:43.140 I may be, but when you're still doing stadiums, when you're still that relevant, like.

02:23:49.420 Good point.

02:23:49.780 It feels probably like it did 30 years ago.

02:23:52.580 We still pack that with pretty young people in their 30s.

02:23:55.860 Yeah, no, Metallica pulls a young crowd, too.

02:23:58.220 When you still see that, it probably makes you feel like, wow, man.

02:24:01.480 Rose isn't at a Metallica show.

02:24:03.220 No, not at all.

02:24:04.300 No, she's not. 0.94

02:24:05.240 I'm going to see a lumen foil like a boo. 1.00

02:24:09.120 A boo. 0.93

02:24:09.760 A boo.

02:24:10.580 But it's probably easier then than a band, like when you look at a Smokey Robinson or Frankie Valli, who aren't moving well.

02:24:17.420 Frankie Valli isn't even singing.

02:24:18.800 But he sounds just like the record.

02:24:20.320 Oh, boy.

02:24:21.240 I saw Frankie Valli at the Westbury Music Fair years ago, and he was lip-syncing then.

02:24:27.500 Yeah.

02:24:28.080 You were lip-syncing then, and you did nothing.

02:24:30.740 But now he's just kind of, it's not even matching up.

02:24:33.180 He looks catatonic.

02:24:34.840 Yeah.

02:24:35.520 And again, I can't like Joe Biden with Jill Biden.

02:24:39.220 I think there's people shoving them out there that just make them work because they could still make some money.

02:24:47.080 It's oof.

02:24:48.080 They might like working, too, just because, hey, what else are you going to do if you're not working? 0.70

02:24:51.500 You're dead.

02:24:51.780 I don't think he's at any position to even think if he wants to or not.

02:24:56.140 But like you were saying with Metallica, yeah, you're packing stadiums.

02:24:58.880 It's alive.

02:24:59.680 It's crazy.

02:25:00.280 Arenas like that.

02:25:01.020 Yeah, I could see that.

02:25:02.800 You still feel like you're creating and you're moving forward and you're on the mountaintop

02:25:07.140 and you've stayed there for 30 years.

02:25:08.660 Right, right.

02:25:09.080 Like you did a new record recently.

02:25:11.600 They're still doing music.

02:25:12.800 People love them.

02:25:14.040 Like maybe you just want to go home.

02:25:17.140 You might, but they'd probably take a break.

02:25:18.960 I don't know.

02:25:19.320 Hetfield looks like he's really enjoying himself.

02:25:21.080 He does.

02:25:21.640 He does.

02:25:22.220 He's the definitive rock guy.

02:25:26.000 Yeah.

02:25:26.340 It's amazing, and he has been forever.

02:25:28.380 We're going to take off for the evening.

02:25:31.620 Yes, we are.

02:25:32.280 I'll be back here tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. with Curtis Sliwa to do the show, Sid and Friends show.

02:25:41.200 Jimmy, thank you so much.

02:25:43.180 Oh, of course.

02:25:43.740 I love this.

02:25:44.120 For coming on.

02:25:44.640 Anytime.

02:25:45.160 I adore you.

02:25:46.000 You know that.

02:25:47.700 And we actually, I would, any plugs real quick?

02:25:51.480 You got 10 seconds.

02:25:52.200 I got Ridgefield next Friday, Kingston the week after, Utah the week after that.

02:25:56.860 We will see you tomorrow and next week, next Sunday for the Anthony Cumia Show.

02:26:03.700 It's the Anthony Cumia Show on the Red Apple Podcast Network.

02:26:10.000 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket

02:26:13.760 takes you to more than just your destination.

02:26:16.800 It takes you to winding streets,

02:26:19.020 spontaneous detours,

02:26:20.680 and the realisation that neither of you

02:26:22.960 is actually good with directions.

02:26:25.100 Recalculating route.

02:26:26.380 And when the final shortcut taken

02:26:28.420 isn't exactly short,

02:26:30.720 Welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

02:26:32.480 Our crew is here to give you a trip home

02:26:34.540 that goes just as planned.

02:26:36.520 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

02:26:38.440 When you travel, travel well.

02:26:40.540 A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors

02:26:43.600 making sure my car doesn't get stolen.

02:26:46.160 It means building new jails

02:26:47.420 to keep criminals behind bars.

02:26:49.640 And it means there's no need to worry

02:26:51.500 when I play at the park.

02:26:53.040 We're making every corner of Ontario safer

02:26:55.340 to make all of Ontario safer.

02:26:57.700 That's how we protect Ontario.
