We're going to New York next week, and we are doing our guesses and giveaways of New York New York predictions. I don’t think we're doing any giveaways.

Extra virgin olive oil. New York, big apples. A lot of Italians. Let's go. What else is there? Taxis, taxi, subways. Pigeons. Free as a bird. Like. Free as a bird, baby. Like a pigeon in New York.

Brain cells go fewer and fewer. Smaller and smaller. We're frying them away. And you're frying them too by listening. So good. Luck. Welcome to the deep fry baby. Hit me with it. First topic.. It. What is your New York song. What song reminds you of New York. I think it's I don't know if it's Frank Sinatra with that old school in New York. New York. What's your New York song? I'm totally swifted out on it. Welcome to New York. Oh, it's been waiting for you. That's all I can think of. I'm like, that's what I’m comin off the plane to. That's. That's gonna be my whole job. I'm going full swifty. I like it, I like seeing it as a Swifty. In my soft era. Is that why you're blond? Is it actually to be more like Taylor Swift? More like her. But she's in her natural blond era. So maybe you need to, like, go slightly darker. Well, I'm, like, in 2008. Yeah. We are in your platinum phase. Yeah. I'm edgy. I'm hard. You're a little more I think you're giving Avril Levine more than Christina Aguilera. Does Avril Levine have a New York song that we don't know about? I'm sure she's tailored or tossed around in New York before. But a song, I don't actually don't know that may New York songs this is a horrible topic. There's no there's another one by. What's her name? Yeah. Alicia Keys. Alicia Keys has a big New York song. Yeah. What is it like? I don't know.. hit me with it. next topic. New York food predictions. Oh, I'm so excited. I want to eat pizza and dumplings. Pizza? Dumplings. Do you think their pizza and dumplings will be better than your L.A. pizza and dumplings? I think it will be better than LA dumplings. I don't know if it's going to beat LA Pizza those are fighting words. I mean, I'm going to say it. LA pizza has upped their game. LA pizza's pretty fucking good. It's not 1999 anymore. People get get it together. We have great pizza. I mean. Pizza's worldwide. Pizzas worldwide. I mean pizza is Italian. Go to go to Italy. Pizza’s worldwide America created pizza. Not true. Okay. That's God. Damn America. Yeah. Okay. Chinese food. Do you think it's gonna be better? Yes, I think that will be the biggest separation for me of Los Angeles to New York food. I think the Chinese food. Will, I'm hoping it knocks my socks offs I hope it knocks your socks offs, too. Thank you. That's what I'm. Hoping for. I really want a good pork soup dumpling. I really want to try. What's it called? Crispy beef. I haven't tried that really. I want some good szechuan food. Oh, yeah, I want some good szechuan. I want to have Chinese all, like, at least twice. I want la and ma. Ma n la Ma la spices Ma le numb me up. Ma ma la. I want to have so much ma. It's like I just, c*ked my gums up. Ma la la. La la la la. La la. Yeah. Any other cuisine you're excited about? I want to try that soba place that we saw on YouTube. Yes. Soba man. Soba man.. Sobaman in Brooklyn. I think I'm only going to want to be in Brooklyn. Everything. I keep finding is in Brooklyn. A Los Angelino, Hollywood, Los Angelino, Brooklyn looks very appetizing to me. See, I just don't need it to be that clean. I don't need it To be that. But I think Manhattan is like downtown, which I'm not a downtown angelino. Oh, Manhattan Island, yes, I agree, but I think you're you're forgetting there's more boroughs in Manhattan. Like, I think you're forgetting. There's a Beverly Hills in Manhattan. It's not just like downtown L.A.. I understand Beverly Hills. I understand, but it's still big city. Beverly Hills, great L.A. song. Trying to find. Great. LA song, I mean one of the best ones. I mean, how are you. Going to be Randy Newman? Hello? Hello, hello. Get it fucking straight. This is really a Los Angels vs New York episode. It is. So which area do we even know? Which areas of Beverly Hills is it? Soho. Is it uptown? Chelsea? Chelsea? I don't know, we don't know. I don't even know. Most of the boroughs. I think Harlem seems cool. I, I feel like they I want to just go watch a basketball game. I want to go to, like, a jazz club in Harlem. Whoa. Yeah. I want to hear some spoken word poetry. You would glow in the dark at a Harlem Jazz Club. Yeah, I I'm fully fucking aware. Yeah. You would really stand out. Yeah. But yeah, our friends from Harlem he said I give Harlem. You not me. You. He also said I don't. That's for you specifically he said you’re New Jersey. How about you stick to Jersey. I, we were asking him what areas from New York. We're from New York City specifically, and he gave me Jersey. That’s tuff. To take me out of New York City and put me in Jersey. It was so crazy. That's so nuts. Maybe correct though. We don't know. RIP Derek Love you. Rest in peace, big dog. All right, ready for next topic? Tattoos. Okay, I want to. Yeah, just for a hundred tattoos in New York. But too many shops can't tell what's good. I wonder if people have that same issue coming to L.A. This is also my problem when I don't know who I want to do my tattoo. It was easier to find a tattoo artist in Seoul than it is New York. Agreed. But is it because it's a less saturated market? Probably, yeah, because it's so illegal. I would say my prediction of New York is not only with tattoos. I'm gonna say with everything 70% of it's really bad. Not that good. Pretty mediocre. Middle ground par. If not under par or over par, whatever you would term it. And then that other 30% is very much better. Than L.A or than everywhere else. Than the par than the baseline. Okay. Average. Okay. But there's a lot of phonies out there. That's my guess. Do you think there's any that's like really like. And they're amazing? excellent? Yes I think that's what I'm saying. There's 30%. I think 30% is excellent. Yeah. Wow. That's a high percentage. But 70% is trash. Yeah. Just trash basically. Not worth it. Well, it's such a big city that there’s a lot of trash to wade though. A lot of competition. Not everything. A lot of everything. But, you know, that's like L.A. too. Okay. Tattoos. What's your take? Tattoos. I think it's going to be a real bitch to get a tattoo, or at least one that I'm comfortable getting. That's why we're looking so hard. That's why it's taking so many shops. And if you're watching this comment your shop below. Oh yeah. Let us know what your favorite shop is because we're looking for a good shop or a good artist. And we're probably in New York while this is out. So so please let us know. Please. ASAP Now. Yesterday. Next topic. Oh you say that next topic. Dive bars. I think that'll be an easy find easy find. fun find. Comment your dive bars below. But I want to go to a dive bar that originated the term 86. Oh is that a thing? Oh okay. So tell me about. When you go oh that's 86. You're eighty sixed. you're 86’d blah blah blah get the. Fuck out. You're 86’d Six. That's from prohibition era. Yep. This bar had two entrances. One was on 86th Street. One was on a different street. Shut up, so when the police were coming eighty sixth exit. out 86. So the place got 86’d They all left. So when their restaurants have a certain food item, 86 that get rid of it. I love it. I want to go New York. What's it called? I don't know, that's an easy to google. I'm so excited. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. I want to. Go to old bars like that. I want to get a really old places. I want to go. To old stuff. We don't have old stuff here. We don’t got Old stuff. This LA is New Town New city, New city, New. York. New York Old City. Old York. Ye, Old York, Ye Old York. Yeah, I. Go. To old places. I really I'm going to really old bars. Old restaurant. What's the oldest restaurant, maybe. a pizza place like the one? The original. Joe's. Yeah, yeah, that's got to be one of the oldest ones. Supposed to be good. What hit me with it. Next topic. Cafe? I'm wondering about their cafes. It's a big cafe culture. Is it? Like you sit and you have a coffee for a long time or is it a grab and go situation? Everyone says New York so fast pace so it gives grab and go. I don't think it is, but I don't think it is either. After all the stories, TikToks, YouTube's recommendations, I'm getting a lot of sit down. Yeah, I'm seeing that too. sit down. I think there's a lot of, where here, we get a lot of delivery things. I don't think because of driving. Yeah. I don't think. you go To a close place and you're right in It. Yeah, yeah, you always seem like you go, though. It's not a big delivery town. You. No. But I think, like, if you're going to a cafe like it's giving friends, you go and you sit at that cafe for an hour or two. I don't know about that. No not that deep like big group situation, but I think you go and you sit at the cafe and have your coffee. You chill, you chill. I think there's a lot of, oh my God, what's the word? What's the word? When a man sits at a coffee shop and reads like a feminist book. In public projecting. Is it a projecting man? I think it's a projecting man. Okay. Have you not heard this? I don't think I know what you're talking about. There's a certain man that sits in a cafe with a feminist book and reads in public. That's hilarious. Is he like, well, it's not queerbaiting. Is it? Like it's women. baiting? Women baiting? Yes. I'm fembaiting. Yeah, fembating, women baiting. I'll make up the term fembaiting fembaiter Oh, you're real fembaiter feminist baiter. I don't know. What a baiter What feminist baiter say, if it’s a feminist book. Feminist baiter I don’t know if I like that. I like fembaiter fembaiter I'm a real fembaiter, I'm a fembot whoa. Hello, bee boop. Bee boop bop. bop bop bop. but, okay, what about him do you think we're going to see a lot of that? I think that that's going to be just. I think that, you know what I'm wondering if there's a lot of like, pretentious energy that happens, like, oh, we're in New York. We're better than you. But I give that in LA. I'm in LA and I am better. I love to do that. Yeah. So I don't know. That's, like, the. Best thing to give What I'm saying. Is it different or is it the same? That's. Next topic LA versus New York. Is it really going to be that different. Or is it kind of the same. Or is it basically the same. And then there's imaginary beef that L.A. really doesn't care about. No. Yeah. No one here gives a fuck. No. But I think they give a fuck because they're weather is bad. I think New Yorkers care more because so many people from the Midwest and Middle America go there rather than first. here. Yeah. But then they come here. But then they get like the pride that they're there. Yeah. Oh, I see what you're saying. So that's why they're like. I did this. I'm a New Yorker. Yeah. You know what's funny though is it's the same thing. It's like people that come to LA to pursue their dream and the people that go to New York to pursue their dream. But there's something about the people that go to, L.A. get more hate than the people that go to New York. And it's the same thing. But maybe we'll find out why. I'm not sure. Maybe because it's grittier. They're like, I got the grit. But maybe it's because they're going there to do more like working jobs versus people come here that I don't want to be. I don't know if it's true. I'm just telling my guess. Yeah. Come here to, like, be famous and work in acting. True. Like I'm saying. That the end goal. I would say. Different, but the idea. Is the same because there's people that move there just for money. Reasons not to even. Yeah. Finance bros Bros That's everything. Yeah. Where we get a little bit less of that out here. Yeah. It's more, it's more like finance the finance bro that relocated. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, well I was tired of Morgan Stanley said I could go to the LA office if I wanted to. Yeah, exactly. Literally. Next topic. Sushi It's interesting how much more expensive it seems to be. Is it because they have to ship sushi farther? They were still in the water. The fish there's fish are in. You're right. Fish have not left the water any time soon. Last I checked, there are still some fish. They have fish in the water. Right. There's some fish in the water. do they not Have fish. Guys. Are there fish in the water still? I just can somebody ask Chat GPT. Wait are there the fish that they're using sushi in the water out there or do they have to ship it really far? like is it a shipping issue? Is it a shipping issue? why is it so much more expensive? I think just because they can. I mean they could here to. I don't know, I don't know. Japan's farther from. That's what I'm saying. I get why I get what you're saying. There are fish in the water still. I don't really know what is good. They got, like, crab nearby. Right. Lobster. Lobster. Oh. Oh, you're talking lobster. Oh, I think I got a lot of oysters. Oysters? Oh, god. I'm so bad at accents. Yeah. That's that, that was tuff. How would do an Oyster? Oh your shucking some oysters? You know. Not not boiled or broiled was real broiled. Sorry. My tongue is going crazy with these, Invisalign. And you just look at me. Your tongue goes wild. you're thinking of oyseter you little aphrodisiac freak hahah. perverts. I bet you look up little oyster videos don’t you. Yeah, I love to see‘em shucked. Oh, my, God, I'm clutching my pearls. You should be. Well, I bet there's a lot of pearl wearing the New York. Pearl wearing? Pearl wearing in Chelsea. Pause. hit me. With. A. Next. Topic. Next Topic.. Fashion I have a mean take. I think people in New York dress odd. I wouldn't say good, and I'm excited to see if that's true or not. Just because you have eight different patterns, on doesn't mean it's fashion. I agree, I think if there's going to be a huge difference in LA to New York, I think that's where it will stand. Mostly in my. Head. I think so too, I. That’s my guess. I completely agree. I think we dress pretty LA but then people in L.A tell us we dress New York. So I'm wondering if that. Then you also just said people in New York dress bad, so. Maybe people think we Dress bad. No, I think the people that are very into. I didn't say we dress fashiony, though. We dress pretty simply. I think we just dress LA. I don't know, I think. We dress very LA people don't say that. We dress very simple and clean and cool. I think a lot of black, a lot of white. Yeah. So a little cheetah print. I love cheetah print. We both kind of rock that. Yeah. But in New York, like the really fashion people go crazy. Yeah I know I like texture. They'll do a tool skirt with a leather jacket and. Yeah, like a pattern shirt. It's a bro whoa whoa. I agree. I'm wondering what shoe situations are going to be in New York. I feel like a lot of Adidas. You think it's gonna be sneakers. A lot of sneakers. I think because it's. A lot of walking. It's a lot of walking. I think that's huge. Sneaker, sneaker culture area. I mean. I know, I don't know what shoes to bring at all. I don't really I'm going to do boots mostly. I think I'm not going to change how I dress just to go there. Yeah, I don't really want to wear sneakers. I only wear sneakers to work because. It doesn't matter. I can't wear at work right now. You better work. You better. Next topic. Hotel. Hotel where are we staying at the hotel. Motel. Beverly Hills. Oh, no. No, no. Do you want a drop our hotel? Oh do you want to dox us. Yeah, we're at the Love Boat. Okay. Right. Maybe. Maybe not. Down four stop. I don't I don't know what Room yet. chill. I mean, if they want to come say hi. No. What the five people listening to us. What? This episode and the last one. You're trying to get us stalked. stalked. That's crazy. I'm big into it. You really want a stalker? Yeah. I hate it. Pass Yeah. It's good. I think the stop. That London, New York is good. I hate it. I love the truth. I don't know what street it’s on. I lied. What do you want to say about it? Are you excited? I'm very. Excited. Do you think it's gonna be a good hotel? Yeah, I think. I think it's gonna be a beautiful 8.5 out of the ten, which is a high rating. That's pretty. I'm strict with my hotels. Okay. What would make it a ten? Have you ever stayed in a ten? Fufu Kawaguchiko. was a ten. Yeah. The general in Kyoto was a nine. No, it's got a ten. That's a ten. What? Yeah, the fucking free beer. The alcohol is what sold you. The room was not that great. The room is pretty good. The rooms are. Nice. Big window that looked out on a wall. It was a nice room. We had two separate beds that were pretty mid. Two separate beds. It was two beds next to each other. Yeah. At least we were together. Yeah. Okay. 9.8. Nine. Point five. Nine. I felt rich in that hotel. 9.5. You are rich. Look at us. In our one bedroom apartment. All right, all right. Next topic. The people. Well, I think I already said I think it's going to be a lot like LA people, but I don't mean la like the transplants. I mean, I like locals Los Angelinos. Yeah. Yeah. What kind of, minorities do they have out there? Obviously it's Hispanic. Out here is our majority minority. Well, we have the biggest Korean population as well out here. True. I think it's a lot of Italians and maybe Chinese people. So I'm a minority now. Yeah. Ethnic. I love that for you. Isn't it a big Greek community out there? Huge greek community. Lot of Chinese. I said that, did you? I did. Chinese. If you listen, you know, we can have. I'm moving so fast. I'm on New York time. We could have better banter. Maybe. Maybe one day one day. Yeah. There's greek town, italian town. Chinatown. Yeah. I don't know what else. I don’t think there's a little Tokyo. No, I don't know, I feel like, L.A.. has got to the Japanese. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So why our sushis so good. But I think they have a pretty diverse population. Oh yeah. I mean I think so I always hear that there's a lot of Dominican people there. Okay. Huge Dominican. Population. What's Dominican food. Like I don't know I think it's like Papas fritas. Yeah. Papas Fritas I think of fried plantains maybe. Ooh I don't know Its not a cubano. We'll have to get some Dominican food while we're out there. Yeah. I would like. That. Yeah, I like that too. Because I don't know what. Cuban. No no no Cuban. no. Oh my God, I can't say it.. Jesus. Dominican food I would like to try. Jesus Christ. I'm just glad the Dominicans are safe from Castro. I'm so happy they're doing well. Let's get some Dominican cigars on this boy. Pick'em up. Yeah, that'd be lit. Yeah. I'd love to get love to figure out where the small spots. Yeah. I want some good small spot. Yeah. I don't think I'm going to do like Michelin really this trip. I don't think you need it. No. I truly don't like. I know they've got some of the best, gnarliest restaurants in the world, but I don't think that's the point of New York. I think you're kind of missing the point. I think you miss the actual culture, whereas, yeah, where is if you're in like Japan, that's more part of the culture. Yeah I agree, well you can easily do high low in Japan, but these places book out so far in New York too. It's like I don't really want to reserve that much either. I just don't really fuck with that. I'm sorry. Tell‘em. A week ahead I want to come. I want to be able to go. I have to reserve this five months out. I don't know where I'm going to be in five months. I don't even know where I am tomorrow. Breakfast at Tiffany's. Is that, like, a real thing? Yeah, i thought that was just a movie A New York thing you eat breakfast at the Tiffany’s store. Oh, that'd be cool. I'm not. It doesn't look that good. I'm not going to do that. I just saw someone do it. It was like three bread pastries and then, soft boiled egg with caviar on top. Exactly what I thought it would be. It was like,$65, for that? No. Do you get an engagement ring with it? Like.. that might be more worth it. Like, that's a great story. You get a $65 engagement ring. I take it that's a good story. No. Yeah. No ring. Okay, so trip ruined. Trip. Heard That's cool. Oh, yeah. I'm not proposing to you this trip. Why? Not doin it. All right. Well. Look at the floor over there. You'll find the bar. It's lower than that. What!? God damn. No. I'm excited. It’s gonna be fun. What are you most excited for? Maybe the Soba place. We'll put up a video. I want to go to the Soba place. I do too. Yeah. I've been craving soba ever since I saw that guy. Me too. I've. I’ve, I've been, like, holding myself back.
