it was nice yeah, paris reminds me a lot of new
york city the way the cabs,everything's like, the way
lifestyle is like, always in arush, always in a run.
Prices are just like, for me,like new york city, very close
to new york city.
It was beautiful.
I'll be honest.
You're very beautiful.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We had a great time you said that the people in
paris are straight shooters,just like in new york.
Don't tell you straight to thepoint.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
They're pretty, they're pretty hardcore, so I'm
used to it, right, because we'refrom new york.
I was born and raised in newyork so I'm used to it, but
paris is very similar to newyork city.
The alpha tower was beautifulin person.
It's gorgeous, especially whenthe lights go on.
They have it on like every hour, the lights, so I mean it was
beautiful At night.
It just looks incredible.
Yeah, the museum is gorgeous.

You saw the Mona Lisa and it's just like a little.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
A little picture, and it was thousands of people I

I can't complain I didn't know that they had disney
in paris.
Yeah, they do?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I didn't know either.
My wife was the one that foundit and I was like we have to go,
we're gonna be in paris.
I was like, yeah, let'sdefinitely do one thing I like
to go to different places.
I do not like going to the sameplace, because I want to get
adventure as many places aspossible what's next on the on
the list?
We have italy, we have bainmadrid or dubai dubai yeah,
(03:39):
which ones are you?
personally, I think I'm lookingat more at italy italy yeah,
definitely want to go over toitaly, so that would be
interesting.
I like to go to differentplaces yeah one thing is just
creating.
Uh, my, my wife knows that.
I always tell her, let's pickdifferent places yeah, what
about the food in paris?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
how was the food?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
man, all we ate was basically bread and butter, and
and um hot chocolate.
Jesus christ, they drink somuch hot chocolate, so much hot
chocolate, jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
They drink so much hot chocolate.
So much hot chocolate yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And then one thing they have cafes every corner and
you got to make always lines inall these cafes to go in, yeah.
And then one thing they do toois that when they sit you down,
it's like you're sitting alltogether.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
They put you all together.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It's like so close and then every table is like on
top of each other, so it's likeyou can't even have a
conversation.
I was hearing everybody'sconversation, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So I'm like oh my God , how do you even hear?
Your partner then, like youjust have to scream, I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
At that point it was like everybody just whispers.
Oh, they just whisper A lot ofpeople just whisper because it's
like we're so on top of eachother and you know you feel able
to right yeah and my kids areloud, so I'd always tell them to
calm down quietly.
It was like, ah, jesus god, butit's beautiful.
I definitely recommend peopleto go out there.
Pictures are beautiful.
(04:51):
I mean the pictures we take.
We took were very beautiful.
I mean paris definitely veryunique yeah, no, very unique,
absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Uh, maybe in the future I'll go and visit paris
yeah, you should definitely gowith your girlfriend.
Yeah, no, absolutely I think umsomething in the future I'll go
and visit paris.
Yeah, you should definitely gowith your girlfriend.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
I think um something in thenews that has been like riling
up a lot of people that we'veactually noticed as well was the
congestion price now oh my god.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I mean, I'm from the bronx, I used to go down a lot
to manhattan.
I'll be honest, you man thatright there, what man?
What they did in manhattan Ithink was wrong.
I personally think it was sowrong.
The MTA did it right becausethey wanted to do a lot of
upgradings to their service thatthey give to the city.
But but reality it's a lot.
You know, $9.
And I was told that in certainareas you go in and out, it's an
(05:37):
extra $3, $3.
So it's like, yeah, it's up.
Definitely is going to hurt alot of to me personally, it's
going to hurt a lot of business,Small businesses that rely on
that traffic coming in.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Correct yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Because it definitely is going to hurt a lot, to be
honest.
Well, one thing about New YorkCity too, about new york city
till you get used to it, I wouldsay too right because people
get used and adapt to it.
You know we got no control ofit, right, that's what they say,
but I think it's more hurtingthan beneficial.
What they did you know?
I think it's more thing.
I think I feel like new yorkersjust thinking about their
pocket before the public rightand it's not fair.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I saw videos of people like in like the seventh
floor, eighth floor, lookingdown at the at the streets below
60th and there's like no onethere.
There was one where there waslike a christmas tree going
around and I thought it wastumble yeah and I saw it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I saw that one.
Yeah, new york city definitelyis gonna.
You know, the impact is gonnabe big for those business owners
over there.
Right, you know it's definitelypeople gotta get used to it.
But I was told and I saw thatTrump wasn't in agreement of it
and he was saying that he isgoing to end it.
I hope it's true.
Right, I did hear it that Trumpwas going to end that
congestion.
(06:43):
He thought it was alsoridiculous and I honestly think
it was real, real stupid of themto do.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You know what was ridiculous?
The amount of people in thetrain that were trying to like
just squeeze themselves in there.
So yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean now everyone.
My mom goes on the train andshe tells me, like now a lot of
people, the trains are going tobe so full.
You know, oh yeah, and rightnow the trains, you know it's
not as safe as it used to be.
I feel like it's gotten worse.
The trains.
It's like you see so manycrimes happening.
(07:16):
You saw, the guy that turned awoman on fire yeah, that and the
train.
Um, he said he was drunk andeven know what he was doing.
He burned a woman live from inthe train station.
So it's like you know, it's somuch crimes happening in this
train station and I hope theyput more control to it for more
officers in the train, but thatcongestion thing, I don't think
it was beneficial.
It's not going to be beneficialjust to new york city's pockets
.
Besides, I don't think it'sbeneficial to anyone else right,
(07:37):
I mean it's just more hurtingthan anything.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, because that's a.
That's a big time to do likenine dollars every day that
you're with.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
By the way, we're the first city that does that in
the united states.
Yes, yeah and the united statesthat a lot that has congestion,
congestion prices.
It's ridiculous Inside the city.
So I have seen a lot of videosthat people are parking, I think
it's on 62 or 63rd Street onthe east or west side, and they
just walk.
Yeah, it's getting crazy, orthey end up taking bikes.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I remember there was like one of these hacks right
when there was like there was aparking garage that you would go
underneath and kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That video went so viral that the owner of the
parking lot he had to close theother side because it went too
viral.
Everyone was driving throughthere to not pay for it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Exactly Also, they did close it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, yeah, they definitely closed it.
I saw it.
They had to.
I mean everyone.
Once he goes on TikTok and itgoes viral.
You know everyone's watchingTikTok and I hope they don't ban
TikTok.
You know that's something bigTrump, please save TikTok.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, TikTok is so great.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And Trump is coming in on the 20th to the office.
You know, I think 2025 is goingto be a very interesting year.
I think Trump have a lot ofthings that he wants to do and
change.
Let's see what happens.
I mean, I always look forwardto like the positive outcome of
it.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Let's see what the new president, donald trump,
does and hopefully, you know hedoes the best for the americans,
as he promised, absolutely.
And something else thatconcerns americans are like the
california fires, like somecrazy stuff happened to america
well, it's interesting, right,it's in areas that are very
expensive.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
A lot of people are losing their property, and we're
talking about millions yeah aprop like like they have.
You know very rich homeownersthere you know, I saw one single
family that was like 35 millionthat when it was totally gone.
I've seen a lot of celebritylose their houses in california
this isn't a really luxury areaof california.
(09:29):
Well, I hope they have homeinsurance and I hope their
insurance is definitely going tocover them, which I'm pretty
sure they do.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I heard that they basically a lot of like the top
insurance companies basicallypulled out before the fire
started happening, saying thatthey weren't going to cover like
fire insurance or somethinglike that.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I forget the specifics.
I did see that President Bidensaid that he was going to cover
the cost of what's going on inCalifornia.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I wonder if he can cover all of it, because that's
a lot of money, a lot ofmillions.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, I'll be honest with you, I'm so in shock how
much fire has been going onthere.
I did see that it's kind ofinteresting that it was this
show that was happening and thislady was mocking God Right, god
right.
And literally the next day allthat fire happened in california
(10:19):
and it happened.
So I know it's interestingwhere all this fire is coming
from.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
But I would say that I hope they're safe and everyone
is good yeah, I mean that firedefinitely is I know our
neighbors are doing uh, a littlebit of work here and there as
well canada and mexico, theyboth like bro, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, I remember that I did see see that Mexico is
sending out.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yes, I did see that.
Yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Canada, too, was doing it.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, I feel like I saw videos of Canada.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Well, donald Trump said that he wants Canada to be
our 51st state.
I mean, I found it funny to behonest with you, right?
But wow, I mean that would beinteresting right, there you go
I love the idea to be honestwith you canada being the 51st
state, oh wow I don't know,canada likes that idea though.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
But yeah, they were sending them, like these planes
that you know, um, they getwater and then they just like
pour it over and like I saw itlooks so crazy everything that's
going on in california.
I hope everyone is well, itlooks like a movie, almost like
something that you would onlyexperience like in a movie with
like everything burning, like Iknow that they're putting so
many memes around like themcdonald's that was burning and
(11:22):
like the wind was going, likecrazy and stuff you just
mentioned.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So insurance, I put, are basically pulling out that
they don't want to.
Yeah, that's so sad.
You know why?
Because we pay so much homeinsurance and for them to tell
you that after years of paying,nothing happens for years, and
now you're going to.
It sounds like a scam.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
With these insurance companies, Because in reality it
doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It doesn't.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That's the point of them covering, but they're going
to be hit hard and I'll behonest with you, they could
definitely do that, but youcould always sue them.
So all those homeowners go suebecause you're not going to come
after me paying so many years,and now you want to back out of
it when in reality, now is whenyou need them.
They should definitely be ableto cover and do the right things
.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And not just one person should go.
Like all of you who gotaffected that are, like you know
, having trouble getting yourinsurance claims, you should all
form like a, like a group, andtried to do a class action
lawsuit, because that'sridiculous.
I've seen some videos where thepeople like a daughter, like in
her 50s or so, her parents arelike I think it was like 80 or
something like that.
(12:27):
There were elderly people andthey were in their home very
scared because they were likeour insurance pulled out.
We've been with them for like60 years and out of nowhere they
just denied the insurance thing.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Jesus.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Christ, yeah.
And now they're just liketrying to salvage 60 years and
out of nowhere, they just deniedthe the insurance thing.
So, jesus christ, yeah, nowthey're just like trying to
salvage everything and it's justlike how could you do that
right, like they've been withyou for so long and stuff.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Yeah, it just goes to show youthat, honestly, just insurance
companies do not have your back.
Some of the time.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, I noticed something about insurance that
they for any little thing.
They want to come out and theywant to like.
We understand a lot of scam ishappening and it always happens,
right, but you know it's prettyobvious that this is not a scam
right in california.
It's so public right now.
It's all over the news.
Everyone's all your insurancecompany.
Make sure you cover them, man.
That would be the right thingto do.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, even though you're going to be at a huge
loss or whatever, you still likeit.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
But they always cover up with all the houses that
they have.
Nothing happened to them, right.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Oh yeah, we're going to have to put the insurance
we're going to have to.
What do you call it?
Pay a premium because of it,which is?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
the reality of things .
Yeah, yeah, the reality ofthings.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, yeah, but as long as they get covered, that's
what matters.
Yeah, for sure.
No, absolutely.
And talking about fires, therewas a fire here in the bronze
and I believe 2910 wallace 2910wallace, I believe last friday
and it was basically um.
It left seven people injuredand over 250 people displaced um
yeah, they said that the causewas something related to you
(14:04):
know those electric heaters.
Or maybe someone left the gasstove on because, um, apparently
, how many units is it?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
is it like four buildings on a row?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I believe it was I think it was like four, yeah,
four multi-family buildings.
They were all kind of like, butthe top floors were kind of
going up in flames.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, I did see that on news and so much fire is
happening, you know, I'm prettysure those were renters, right
correct, they were renters so toall those renters, you know
they do offer insurance, right?
Yeah, you know homeownerinsurance for for those renters.
So I recommend all thoserenters to definitely have
insurance.
You never know what couldhappen how much were you paying
angel?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I heard you say earlier I think it was like it
was dirt cheap and I think itcovered me up for like 20 000.
I think I paid like maybe atmost like 60 70 for six months
or something like oh jesus,that's great, yeah, that was
nothing and it covered upfor,000.
It was actually part of, likethe bundle that I got for, like,
my car insurance as well.
(15:04):
Because if you do renter'sinsurance along with your car
insurance, the renter'sinsurance actually provides you
extra identity for your carinsurance Because they want to
make sure you're living in thepremise that you're saying that
you're living in and if you getrenter's insurance, that kind of
(15:26):
gives another kind of likesense of like yeah, you are
living there right, because somepeople say that they live
somewhere to get cheaper carinsurance.
So they, if you bundle them bothtogether, it's like okay,
there's more validity to your Isee what you're saying yeah, so
that's why, if you bundle bothof them together, you actually
get a cheaper price on your carinsurance, because it's cheaper
like that yeah.
Double verification yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
What those landlords were?
They like slumlords, they wereslumlords.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We won't name names because of legal things.
Apparently, this person was, ifI'm not mistaken, voted for one
of the city's worst landlordsin 2015 by News 12, I believe it
(16:11):
was Wow you know, I've beennoticing that in the Bronx
remember the other building thatcollapsed because he had a
slumlord.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
So all these landlords that own buildings in
new york city apartment buildingwill have to be hard on them,
shrink on them and hpd, becauseyou know it's people's safety.
You know you gotta make sure.
You know these.
These tenants are paying rent.
You should definitely make surethey're safe and always do a
full inspection.
They should definitely come upwith something with department
of building hpd for people'ssafety, safety.
(16:39):
You know I know they're payingrentals and that's why I always
recommend these renters todefinitely go buy a house.
These are the reasons.
Right, when it's your house,you're more safe because you're
going to make sure you're safe.
It's your property, you'regoing to invest into the
property.
Much of these slumlords, angela, do not like investing into
property, but if you're notpaying rent, they instantly
taking the courthouse righttrying to evict you.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But the reality is that, like um, usually when
these things happen, like firesor a building collapsing,
usually because they'reslumlords yeah, they're not
taking care of their propertyright right and you can see like
something like this already, um, unfolding before it did,
because slumlord kind of didn't,you know, didn't put the
heating on most of the time, sopeople had to do these things
(17:23):
like uh turn on the stove, dothe electric thing, because
imagine you can't, you can'thave your kids there, like
feeling all cold and stuff.
You gotta do something, right?
It's a lot of people that losttheir apartments.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, I hope they are safe and hopefully they found a
home.
I hope the city definitelyhelped out, but mostly those
landlords.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Man, that's so wrong man yeah you know your building
getting on fire, so all over thenews yeah, that's why our
co-worker chris, he basicallysays, like dude, if you're ever
um, essentially in thatsituation when you have a summer
, always when something likethat happens, you should always
contact, like the city, make acomplaint, make a complaint,
(18:01):
because after a certain amountof complaints they're going to
be up in their ass.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
They're going to definitely investigate them.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So it's best for when these landlords are not doing
the correct thing, you can go tothe department of building, you
can go to HPD and makecomplaints about it and make
sure you're definitely gettingin contact with them, because
they know they build a list onthem, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
so it's best for them to definitely do that yeah, no,
absolutely, because you have tohave a track record.
You can't just be complainingand not doing anything about it.
Right, you have to be activelydoing something, telling, uh,
telling the city that what'sgoing on, because how will they
know?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
right to take action you have to communicate, you
know you have to let the publicknow what's going on.
But I really hate slumlords,man.
I mean when I was growing up wehad a slumlord, so our
apartment actually got on firetoo.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Oh, you told me yeah our apartment got on fire.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So we actually had an apartment.
We had no electric, no heating,and my single mother, we a in a
building in the bronx samething got on fire and they don't
really care.
Yeah, it's just a commonoccurrence I actually told us,
the slumlord, how you feel ifyour family and your kids was in
this situation.
He just walked away like theydon't care yeah all they care is
(19:12):
about getting their money theirrental money.
That's all they care about.
So all those renters, man, um,especially those renters that
you know went through thistragedy, man, I wish you guys
the best.
I hope you know you guysgetting the attention you guys
deserve, and we are here for youguys yeah, no, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I always advise you to reach out to your you know,
to your local, you know,community, everyone.
Yeah, just um the city if youhave any complaints like that,
because it's always better to beactive than just like be
another statistic call 311.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
They always have um.
You know routes and they alwayshave help out there that you
guys could get um.
Always call 311 and keepcalling 311 until they do
something.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yes, 100, yeah because you're gonna have to
call them several times to getanything done.
But after a certain amount oftimes you're gonna get through
to them, especially like in thiscase where, like, the building
in general was having problemswith maintenance.
Tell other, tell other tenantsto also call, like um, the city
because, like then there'll bemore complaints.
Right, every time you complainit's not just one person, it's
(20:20):
multiple persons, so it's goingto fill up the queue a lot
faster and get you to.
You know, have something putagainst the landlord so he can
actually do something about it.

I did a one shot right there.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So how was your years over there in paris?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
it was nice yeah, paris reminds me a lot of new
york city the way the cabs,everything's like, the way
lifestyle is like, always in arush, always in a run.
Prices are just like, for me,like new york city, very close
to new york city.
It was beautiful.
I'll be honest.
You're very beautiful.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We had a great time you said that the people in
paris are straight shooters,just like in new york.
Don't tell you straight to thepoint.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
They're pretty, they're pretty hardcore, so I'm
used to it, right, because we'refrom new york.
I was born and raised in newyork so I'm used to it, but
paris is very similar to newyork city.
The alpha tower was beautifulin person.
It's gorgeous, especially whenthe lights go on.
They have it on like every hour, the lights, so I mean it was
beautiful At night.
It just looks incredible.
Yeah, the museum is gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You saw the Mona Lisa and it's just like a little.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
A little picture, and it was thousands of people I
couldn't even barely see.
I had a lift of Levi in the air.
Then I carried Heidi too.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh, you carried Heidi on your shoulder.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, I was like yeah , I put Heidi on my shoulder.
I lifted her up.
She could take a picture of it.
It was nice.
I'll be honest, it was reallynice.
One thing I do recommend Ithink the best thing of the trip
was Disney Paris.
It's the most beautiful.
What Disneyland?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Oh, Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It was beautiful.
I mean gorgeous castle.

It was for leo's birthday.
We went there.
Um, it was amazing.
We definitely had a great time.
Me, I had an amazing time over.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I can't complain I didn't know that they had disney
in paris.
Yeah, they do?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
I didn't know either.
My wife was the one that foundit and I was like we have to go,
we're gonna be in paris.
I was like, yeah, let'sdefinitely do one thing I like
to go to different places.
I do not like going to the sameplace, because I want to get
adventure as many places aspossible what's next on the on
the list?
We have italy, we have bainmadrid or dubai dubai yeah,
(03:39):
which ones are you?
personally, I think I'm lookingat more at italy italy yeah,
definitely want to go over toitaly, so that would be
interesting.
I like to go to differentplaces yeah one thing is just
creating.
Uh, my, my wife knows that.
I always tell her, let's pickdifferent places yeah, what
about the food in paris?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
how was the food?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
man, all we ate was basically bread and butter, and
and um hot chocolate.
Jesus christ, they drink somuch hot chocolate, so much hot
chocolate, jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
They drink so much hot chocolate.
So much hot chocolate yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And then one thing they have cafes every corner and
you got to make always lines inall these cafes to go in, yeah.
And then one thing they do toois that when they sit you down,
it's like you're sitting alltogether.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
They put you all together.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
It's like so close and then every table is like on
top of each other, so it's likeyou can't even have a
conversation.
I was hearing everybody'sconversation, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So I'm like oh my God , how do you even hear?
Your partner then, like youjust have to scream, I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
At that point it was like everybody just whispers.
Oh, they just whisper A lot ofpeople just whisper because it's
like we're so on top of eachother and you know you feel able
to right yeah and my kids areloud, so I'd always tell them to
calm down quietly.
It was like, ah, jesus god, butit's beautiful.
I definitely recommend peopleto go out there.
Pictures are beautiful.
(04:51):
I mean the pictures we take.
We took were very beautiful.
I mean paris definitely veryunique yeah, no, very unique,
absolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Uh, maybe in the future I'll go and visit paris
yeah, you should definitely gowith your girlfriend.
Yeah, no, absolutely I think umsomething in the future I'll go
and visit paris.
Yeah, you should definitely gowith your girlfriend.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
I think um something in thenews that has been like riling
up a lot of people that we'veactually noticed as well was the
congestion price now oh my god.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I mean, I'm from the bronx, I used to go down a lot
to manhattan.
I'll be honest, you man thatright there, what man?
What they did in manhattan Ithink was wrong.
I personally think it was sowrong.
The MTA did it right becausethey wanted to do a lot of
upgradings to their service thatthey give to the city.
But but reality it's a lot.
You know, $9.
And I was told that in certainareas you go in and out, it's an
(05:37):
extra $3, $3.
So it's like, yeah, it's up.
Definitely is going to hurt alot of to me personally, it's
going to hurt a lot of business,Small businesses that rely on
that traffic coming in.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Correct yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Because it definitely is going to hurt a lot, to be
honest.
Well, one thing about New YorkCity too, about new york city
till you get used to it, I wouldsay too right because people
get used and adapt to it.
You know we got no control ofit, right, that's what they say,
but I think it's more hurtingthan beneficial.
What they did you know?
I think it's more thing.
I think I feel like new yorkersjust thinking about their
pocket before the public rightand it's not fair.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I saw videos of people like in like the seventh
floor, eighth floor, lookingdown at the at the streets below
60th and there's like no onethere.
There was one where there waslike a christmas tree going
around and I thought it wastumble yeah and I saw it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I saw that one.
Yeah, new york city definitelyis gonna.
You know, the impact is gonnabe big for those business owners
over there.
Right, you know it's definitelypeople gotta get used to it.
But I was told and I saw thatTrump wasn't in agreement of it
and he was saying that he isgoing to end it.
I hope it's true.
Right, I did hear it that Trumpwas going to end that
congestion.
(06:43):
He thought it was alsoridiculous and I honestly think
it was real, real stupid of themto do.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
You know what was ridiculous?
The amount of people in thetrain that were trying to like
just squeeze themselves in there.
So yeah, of course.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I mean now everyone.
My mom goes on the train andshe tells me, like now a lot of
people, the trains are going tobe so full.
You know, oh yeah, and rightnow the trains, you know it's
not as safe as it used to be.
I feel like it's gotten worse.
The trains.
It's like you see so manycrimes happening.
(07:16):
You saw, the guy that turned awoman on fire yeah, that and the
train.
Um, he said he was drunk andeven know what he was doing.
He burned a woman live from inthe train station.
So it's like you know, it's somuch crimes happening in this
train station and I hope theyput more control to it for more
officers in the train, but thatcongestion thing, I don't think
it was beneficial.
It's not going to be beneficialjust to new york city's pockets
.
Besides, I don't think it'sbeneficial to anyone else right,
(07:37):
I mean it's just more hurtingthan anything.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, because that's a.
That's a big time to do likenine dollars every day that
you're with.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
By the way, we're the first city that does that in
the united states.
Yes, yeah and the united statesthat a lot that has congestion,
congestion prices.
It's ridiculous Inside the city.
So I have seen a lot of videosthat people are parking, I think
it's on 62 or 63rd Street onthe east or west side, and they
just walk.
Yeah, it's getting crazy, orthey end up taking bikes.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I remember there was like one of these hacks right
when there was like there was aparking garage that you would go
underneath and kind of.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
That video went so viral that the owner of the
parking lot he had to close theother side because it went too
viral.
Everyone was driving throughthere to not pay for it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Exactly Also, they did close it.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, yeah, they definitely closed it.
I saw it.
They had to.
I mean everyone.
Once he goes on TikTok and itgoes viral.
You know everyone's watchingTikTok and I hope they don't ban
TikTok.
You know that's something bigTrump, please save TikTok.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, TikTok is so great.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And Trump is coming in on the 20th to the office.
You know, I think 2025 is goingto be a very interesting year.
I think Trump have a lot ofthings that he wants to do and
change.
Let's see what happens.
I mean, I always look forwardto like the positive outcome of
it.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Let's see what the new president, donald trump,
does and hopefully, you know hedoes the best for the americans,
as he promised, absolutely.
And something else thatconcerns americans are like the
california fires, like somecrazy stuff happened to america
well, it's interesting, right,it's in areas that are very
expensive.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
A lot of people are losing their property, and we're
talking about millions yeah aprop like like they have.
You know very rich homeownersthere you know, I saw one single
family that was like 35 millionthat when it was totally gone.
I've seen a lot of celebritylose their houses in california
this isn't a really luxury areaof california.
(09:29):
Well, I hope they have homeinsurance and I hope their
insurance is definitely going tocover them, which I'm pretty
sure they do.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I heard that they basically a lot of like the top
insurance companies basicallypulled out before the fire
started happening, saying thatthey weren't going to cover like
fire insurance or somethinglike that.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I forget the specifics.
I did see that President Bidensaid that he was going to cover
the cost of what's going on inCalifornia.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I wonder if he can cover all of it, because that's
a lot of money, a lot ofmillions.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah, I'll be honest with you, I'm so in shock how
much fire has been going onthere.
I did see that it's kind ofinteresting that it was this
show that was happening and thislady was mocking God Right, god
right.
And literally the next day allthat fire happened in california
(10:19):
and it happened.
So I know it's interestingwhere all this fire is coming
from.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
But I would say that I hope they're safe and everyone
is good yeah, I mean that firedefinitely is I know our
neighbors are doing uh, a littlebit of work here and there as
well canada and mexico, theyboth like bro, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah, I remember that I did see see that Mexico is
sending out.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yes, I did see that.
Yeah, I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Canada, too, was doing it.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, I feel like I saw videos of Canada.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Well, donald Trump said that he wants Canada to be
our 51st state.
I mean, I found it funny to behonest with you, right?
But wow, I mean that would beinteresting right, there you go
I love the idea to be honestwith you canada being the 51st
state, oh wow I don't know,canada likes that idea though.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
But yeah, they were sending them, like these planes
that you know, um, they getwater and then they just like
pour it over and like I saw itlooks so crazy everything that's
going on in california.
I hope everyone is well, itlooks like a movie, almost like
something that you would onlyexperience like in a movie with
like everything burning, like Iknow that they're putting so
many memes around like themcdonald's that was burning and
(11:22):
like the wind was going, likecrazy and stuff you just
mentioned.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So insurance, I put, are basically pulling out that
they don't want to.
Yeah, that's so sad.
You know why?
Because we pay so much homeinsurance and for them to tell
you that after years of paying,nothing happens for years, and
now you're going to.
It sounds like a scam.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
With these insurance companies, Because in reality it
doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
It doesn't.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That's the point of them covering, but they're going
to be hit hard and I'll behonest with you, they could
definitely do that, but youcould always sue them.
So all those homeowners go suebecause you're not going to come
after me paying so many years,and now you want to back out of
it when in reality, now is whenyou need them.
They should definitely be ableto cover and do the right things
.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And not just one person should go.
Like all of you who gotaffected that are, like you know
, having trouble getting yourinsurance claims, you should all
form like a, like a group, andtried to do a class action
lawsuit, because that'sridiculous.
I've seen some videos where thepeople like a daughter, like in
her 50s or so, her parents arelike I think it was like 80 or
something like that.
(12:27):
There were elderly people andthey were in their home very
scared because they were likeour insurance pulled out.
We've been with them for like60 years and out of nowhere they
just denied the insurance thing.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Jesus.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Christ, yeah.
And now they're just liketrying to salvage 60 years and
out of nowhere, they just deniedthe the insurance thing.
So, jesus christ, yeah, nowthey're just like trying to
salvage everything and it's justlike how could you do that
right, like they've been withyou for so long and stuff.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Yeah, it just goes to show youthat, honestly, just insurance
companies do not have your back.
Some of the time.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, I noticed something about insurance that
they for any little thing.
They want to come out and theywant to like.
We understand a lot of scam ishappening and it always happens,
right, but you know it's prettyobvious that this is not a scam
right in california.
It's so public right now.
It's all over the news.
Everyone's all your insurancecompany.
Make sure you cover them, man.
That would be the right thingto do.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, even though you're going to be at a huge
loss or whatever, you still likeit.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
But they always cover up with all the houses that
they have.
Nothing happened to them, right.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Oh yeah, we're going to have to put the insurance
we're going to have to.
What do you call it?
Pay a premium because of it,which is?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
the reality of things .
Yeah, yeah, the reality ofthings.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, yeah, but as long as they get covered, that's
what matters.
Yeah, for sure.
No, absolutely.
And talking about fires, therewas a fire here in the bronze
and I believe 2910 wallace 2910wallace, I believe last friday
and it was basically um.
It left seven people injuredand over 250 people displaced um
yeah, they said that the causewas something related to you
(14:04):
know those electric heaters.
Or maybe someone left the gasstove on because, um, apparently
, how many units is it?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
is it like four buildings on a row?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I believe it was I think it was like four, yeah,
four multi-family buildings.
They were all kind of like, butthe top floors were kind of
going up in flames.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Yeah, I did see that on news and so much fire is
happening, you know, I'm prettysure those were renters, right
correct, they were renters so toall those renters, you know
they do offer insurance, right?
Yeah, you know homeownerinsurance for for those renters.
So I recommend all thoserenters to definitely have
insurance.
You never know what couldhappen how much were you paying
angel?
Speaker 2 (14:44):
I heard you say earlier I think it was like it
was dirt cheap and I think itcovered me up for like 20 000.
I think I paid like maybe atmost like 60 70 for six months
or something like oh jesus,that's great, yeah, that was
nothing and it covered upfor,000.
It was actually part of, likethe bundle that I got for, like,
my car insurance as well.
(15:04):
Because if you do renter'sinsurance along with your car
insurance, the renter'sinsurance actually provides you
extra identity for your carinsurance Because they want to
make sure you're living in thepremise that you're saying that
you're living in and if you getrenter's insurance, that kind of
(15:26):
gives another kind of likesense of like yeah, you are
living there right, because somepeople say that they live
somewhere to get cheaper carinsurance.
So they, if you bundle them bothtogether, it's like okay,
there's more validity to your Isee what you're saying yeah, so
that's why, if you bundle bothof them together, you actually
get a cheaper price on your carinsurance, because it's cheaper
like that yeah.
Double verification yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
What those landlords were?
They like slumlords, they wereslumlords.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
We won't name names because of legal things.
Apparently, this person was, ifI'm not mistaken, voted for one
of the city's worst landlordsin 2015 by News 12, I believe it
(16:11):
was Wow you know, I've beennoticing that in the Bronx
remember the other building thatcollapsed because he had a
slumlord.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
So all these landlords that own buildings in
new york city apartment buildingwill have to be hard on them,
shrink on them and hpd, becauseyou know it's people's safety.
You know you gotta make sure.
You know these.
These tenants are paying rent.
You should definitely make surethey're safe and always do a
full inspection.
They should definitely come upwith something with department
of building hpd for people'ssafety, safety.
(16:39):
You know I know they're payingrentals and that's why I always
recommend these renters todefinitely go buy a house.
These are the reasons.
Right, when it's your house,you're more safe because you're
going to make sure you're safe.
It's your property, you'regoing to invest into the
property.
Much of these slumlords, angela, do not like investing into
property, but if you're notpaying rent, they instantly
taking the courthouse righttrying to evict you.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But the reality is that, like um, usually when
these things happen, like firesor a building collapsing,
usually because they'reslumlords yeah, they're not
taking care of their propertyright right and you can see like
something like this already, um, unfolding before it did,
because slumlord kind of didn't,you know, didn't put the
heating on most of the time, sopeople had to do these things
(17:23):
like uh turn on the stove, dothe electric thing, because
imagine you can't, you can'thave your kids there, like
feeling all cold and stuff.
You gotta do something, right?
It's a lot of people that losttheir apartments.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, I hope they are safe and hopefully they found a
home.
I hope the city definitelyhelped out, but mostly those
landlords.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Man, that's so wrong man yeah you know your building
getting on fire, so all over thenews yeah, that's why our
co-worker chris, he basicallysays, like dude, if you're ever
um, essentially in thatsituation when you have a summer
, always when something likethat happens, you should always
contact, like the city, make acomplaint, make a complaint,
(18:01):
because after a certain amountof complaints they're going to
be up in their ass.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
They're going to definitely investigate them.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
So it's best for when these landlords are not doing
the correct thing, you can go tothe department of building, you
can go to HPD and makecomplaints about it and make
sure you're definitely gettingin contact with them, because
they know they build a list onthem, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
so it's best for them to definitely do that yeah, no,
absolutely, because you have tohave a track record.
You can't just be complainingand not doing anything about it.
Right, you have to be activelydoing something, telling, uh,
telling the city that what'sgoing on, because how will they
know?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
right to take action you have to communicate, you
know you have to let the publicknow what's going on.
But I really hate slumlords,man.
I mean when I was growing up wehad a slumlord, so our
apartment actually got on firetoo.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Oh, you told me yeah our apartment got on fire.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
So we actually had an apartment.
We had no electric, no heating,and my single mother, we a in a
building in the bronx samething got on fire and they don't
really care.
Yeah, it's just a commonoccurrence I actually told us,
the slumlord, how you feel ifyour family and your kids was in
this situation.
He just walked away like theydon't care yeah all they care is
(19:12):
about getting their money theirrental money.
That's all they care about.
So all those renters, man, um,especially those renters that
you know went through thistragedy, man, I wish you guys
the best.
I hope you know you guysgetting the attention you guys
deserve, and we are here for youguys yeah, no, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
I always advise you to reach out to your you know,
to your local, you know,community, everyone.
Yeah, just um the city if youhave any complaints like that,
because it's always better to beactive than just like be
another statistic call 311.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
They always have um.
You know routes and they alwayshave help out there that you
guys could get um.
Always call 311 and keepcalling 311 until they do
something.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yes, 100, yeah because you're gonna have to
call them several times to getanything done.
But after a certain amount oftimes you're gonna get through
to them, especially like in thiscase where, like, the building
in general was having problemswith maintenance.
Tell other, tell other tenantsto also call, like um, the city
because, like then there'll bemore complaints.
Right, every time you complainit's not just one person, it's
(20:20):
multiple persons, so it's goingto fill up the queue a lot
faster and get you to.
You know, have something putagainst the landlord so he can
actually do something about it.
