Cuomo Brothers at it again: "he's got hands like bananas" "I'll take you out and spank you"
https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/audio-rush-transcript-governor-cuomo-guest-cnns-cuomo-prime-time-1
<snip>
Governor Cuomo: Because it's not reality. I'm doing the same job I've done all the ways that I did in Washington, that I've been doing here in the State of New York. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds he of pop. He used to talk about how he gave the same speech and then one day he gave the Democratic National Convention speech and then he became great and after that speech everybody said, wow, your speeches are so great. Dad's point was, it was the same speech I was always giving but the lens changed. The only thing that happened here is the lens changed. I'm doing what I do and I've been doing it the same way, and I look the same as I've always looked.
Chris Cuomo: I'm hearing your finger nails scratch on something like you're nervous. I know you're busy. What happened with pop was, he delivered the right speech at the right time and it was seen by so many. That's what you're doing right now that is being recognized and given a claim. You're doing the job the right way when it matters when eyes are on you, so thank God for that. The looks have to make you question the veracity of the— it must be very confusing for you, because you know that what people are saying about how you look really can't be accurate. It must be hard for you to make sense of what is real and what is true now. I feel for you.
Governor Cuomo: [Speaks Italian]
Chris Cuomo: Right across the plate. Straight across the plate.
Governor Cuomo: Don't worry. There's still time. There's hope for you. One day you can grow up to be like me.
Chris Cuomo: I've tried to be like you my whole life. Look where it got me. Governor Andrew Cuomo, thank you very much for doing the job, thank you for caring for the family. I love you, I'll talk to you after this.
Governor Cuomo: You're better than me. I'm proud.
Chris Cuomo: Only on the basketball court.
Governor Cuomo: Never. Don't lie.
Chris Cuomo: That's what pop said.
Governor Cuomo: He did not. He did not. You never beat me once. Not once.
Chris Cuomo: He said Andrew has tremendous capability. He is blessed in many ways but he's got hands like bananas and he can't play ball. Everybody knows it. Just saying. You're doing a great job though.
Governor Cuomo: I'll take you out and spank you.
Chris Cuomo: You know where I live. I'll see you soon. Be well, Governor.
Governor Cuomo: I love you.
Chris Cuomo: I do love him. The tension is real though. And I'll tell you what - the pressure is real as well.

Two girls, three boys.
His siblings live in Europe.
On Saturday while discussing Matilda's Law - I notice Cuomo just HAD to take a shot at one of his siblings.
Got a screen shot and posted to Facebook tagging my sisters in law:
****************************
Rosanna and Cristina - Governor Cuomo just HAD to point out that he was right and HIS sibling was wrong. Gio, Lou, Tony - that would never happen right?
Italian brothers - always proving their point.
****************************
One more time for the slow folks: Italian brothers - always proving their point!
