Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's always a nefarious is tonight? Hey? So no, you're
on camera. We got you, so welcome back to New York.
Of course they're both from here. They started at our show.
Now they've got their own shows going on, so welcome back.
What are your thoughts so far being here with your
family this morning.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Well, I haven't actually seen most of my family. I
got here last night and with a time define.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
You're worse fam He means this place I love like
it's our favorite thing to just come back and see
all of you guys at the same like I hang
out with people on the show individually, but when you're
around everyone together it's such like a different vibe.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
It's fun.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Uh, elephant in the room time. Can we look at
Anthony's muscles. I've been flexing this whole time, but look
at that. So Corn, you sleep with him? I mean,
how long has this been going on? Next he?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I mean, I'd say for what like the last two
three years.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
He's like really been working out.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
But ironically enough, when he tore his achilles this June,
he like went even harder at the gym, so he's
like working.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
On the arms way more than the legs.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
He looked a little bit like Johnny Bravo for a second,
like he was like really big legs. But it's actually
been really cool to see how he's like, I'd hurt myself,
but I'm still gonna Like Danielle witness.
Speaker 6 (02:04):
O, my gosh, when we went there too for the
All Star Game. For the MLB All Star Game, we
stayed with them, and he did not let that stop him.
He was doing everything and we would go someplace and
wed be like, maybe you can you handle it. I'm good,
puts the boot on. He's out there actually, and he
had this really cool device that I.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Never saw before called the I Walk two point zero.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah, he's really cool.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So we had to meet him from lunch one day
for brunch. What's the name of that restaurant in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We were at the Olympic Pharma.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So they walk in and Alex looks over and says,
did they amputate below the knee? Because it's a little
peg leg thing you walk on. You don't see yahr
knee cap down, So it looked like you had been
you had an amputation. The way there's nothing wrong with that.
I don't love that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
The way that it works is if you hurt your
foot or your achilles or something, you basically lean your
knee on this knee board thing and it has a
little peg leg and then you just hop around on it.
Instead of uh, having like the little cart that you
would use, this is a little more mobile.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
You're a pirate.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I did think you had lost it below then.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I didn't realize when I posted my first picture on
either Instagram or Twitter or whatever it was that the
angle that I took that picture from legitmate, it looks
like it made look like I had no leg So
many I was going pictures, what happened? Why do they amputate?
What's going on.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Someone yelled at him.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Once they realized that it was actually his achilles, someone
yelled at him. I was like, how dare you do
that to people and make us think that you're.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Like man, They thought that I was pretending to lose
my leg for sympathy likes. That's what they legitimately.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
People like that. Moving on, Hey, so welcome back to
New York. Of course, thank you Christmas Central. Other than
the North Pole, I mean, even though you guys are
both from New Jersey, you still get a little charge
coming into the city during Christmas.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
We were driving in this morning. We picked up Andy
on our way in and we're coming down six to
Halve and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Look at Macy's.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I was like screaming about seeing Macy's, Like beautiful, Seattle's great.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
But Christmas time they just don't. We just don't do it.
Like the lights. It's not the same as here.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
We're everywhere you go, everyone is trying to one up
someone else with their Christmas lights.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
It's so different when you're in New York for Christmas.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
If you want to go see the tree, this is
a good time. I think I'm might nine thirty. I
went the other morning, there was nobody at the tree.
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'm real reason why because it's light.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Yeah, you could still see the lights.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah you can still see them.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You really could, Gandhi. Yeah you've been here for five years?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Are you still getting a charge out of New York City?
And at Christmas time?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I mean every single time, every single day?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
I love it here. I don't you know, I travel
all the time in December. I don't want to go anywhere.
I just want to stay here because it's so magical.
And then of course everyone from out of town wants
to come see you during this time. But watching yesterday
the holiday special that you did with Jimmy Fallon, I
got to watch it from my window and I was like.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
This, this is just the coolest ship everg That's.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Right your window in Jersey City, New Jersey, in your
apartment building, you can see the Empire State Building.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yes, best views of New York or from New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Hell yeah, Scotty Bee, you grew up in Long Island.
All Long Island. Sorry, I mean, so, did you ever
used to sneak into the city when you were a kid?
I did?
Speaker 8 (05:20):
I remember coming in when I was thirteen years old
on the train by myself.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
What did your parents know you were coming in? You're
coming in to go to a porn store, weren't you?
Probably I did stop there.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
There's no there used.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
To be some great ones, I believe you.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
They clean that place up now, em dirty. Elma had
to pick up tickets.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But during the season, I would just.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Stroll and be like, oh my god, like I was
this young, young teenage kid just.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Walking around all it must be just amazing as a kid. Well,
so so you Cartermarry, Anthony and Garright, I mean you
all lived outside of Manhattan proper. But coming in, Garret,
did you ever sneak in? I'm sorry, I am not
interrupting your eggs. You've been very busy. He's working sugar.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh, good thing, now there we go.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (06:10):
No, I would sneak in, especially during high school, and
that's where I started to get my first fake id's
down in the village. And then I would lose the IDs,
and then for some reason I was stupid. I would
put my actual address, but I was I would live
in Connecticut, but they would send it back to my
Staten Island address, and my parents were like look what
came in the mail.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh my god, Danielle. Growing up in the Bronx, did
you ever come down to Manhattan and get crazy all
the time because you're you're actually you have the easiest access.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
It was easy, and I would come down all the
time with my I remember my grandmother taking me down
to see chorus Line for the first time on Broadway,
and I was like, this is the coolest thing ever
in New York. Is so awesome. When I was a little.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Kid, what was sneaking down on your own?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
No, come on now, me sneak on my own? No
they didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh my god. I would have been here every fucking day.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
I don't even think I thought of doing that for
some reason. I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Did you guys ever come in CAROMERI Antony.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh all the time? One of my earliest memories actually
is only one year we ever did this as a family.
My family came to New York on Christmas Day, which
if you're from here, you know, it's like the stupidest
thing you can do because it's wildly packed. And I
have two younger brothers, so I was probably eight or nine,
and I had very, very young siblings and one of
(07:25):
them got detached from our group. Now, we were at
the tree on Christmas Day and the memory I have
is my mom going full Mama bear and like pushing
people out of the way. And some guy I guess
like tried to tell my mom she was being rude
and she whipped her head around. She's like, I don't
(07:46):
know where my son is. You shut up, That's all
I remember. He was like, oh, you saw it happen.
Oh yeah, she was ready. I was probably eight or nine.
We were the only nine year old boy with a beard. Yes,
it was a mustache at the time. It was a
mustache at the time.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
What about you called them.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Marine I definitely used to sneak it in high school.
I take the Path train.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I can see you and your your maybe your sister
or your girlfriend's coming in and getting into trouble.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, we would just like like walk around the city
because that was the cool thing to do. But even now,
like when I'm coming like yesterday, my parents are like
be careful tomorrow. I was like, what happened, You're going
into the city. Like growing up in New Jersey, my
parents like if they have to come to New York, city.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
It's a whole thing. They don't want to deal with it.
They can't stand it. They hate it. Where I'm like,
it's the city.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Like the fact that I worked in New York City
was mind boggling to them because they would never.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
They would never do that.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
The idea of having across the river and be in
this dangerous city is mind boggling to get that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
We know people. I've met people from Hoboken, for instance.
It's just one little path train ride away from New
York City. They haven't been into the city for twenty
five ye there's no need for them. It was like,
right there, we have is right here in New Jersey.
Why go over there? What about you?
Speaker 10 (08:58):
When you go on a vacation, you you sneak out
of the hotel room.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And I was very young then, but no, when I
was in college, I had come here with friends and
we had a lot of fun. Well leave it at that.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
What is me bringing my kids into the city and
showing them all the things that made me excited? Yeah,
you know, it's fun to watch their faces as they
walk around Christmas time, like looking up at everything.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I love the fact that they appreciate it. Like I appreciate.
Like I feel like I don't take the city for
granted because anytime I see something, I'm like, oh, this
is still so cool, Like.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I still live here, yeeah, for sure, I'm like midtown man. Hot,
don't we go through Times Square?
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Like every day we see these lights, we see all
the stuff past Radio City.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
But can we Sky said that the ice skating rink
by Rockefeller Center is the most expensive ice skating you'll
ever do in your life.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Well, I did it once.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
It's because they do the tickets based on popular times. Yeah,
it's in the morning, it's like forty or something like.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
That's so crazy.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah, but that.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Includes and everything.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
But later in the day a more popular times, it's expensive,
Like I want to bring the kids in next week.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
It's also just people believe nine dollars who have.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Never been on ice skates before, Like, you're going to
break a leg doing this because someone from a random
city who's never been on ice skates is going to
do it at the tree and take you out, nore belgical.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's a broken a limb under the tree.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Gandhi, what about you? Did you come as to New
York as like a kid.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, I came when I was in eighth grade.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Thank you Deanna for getting me picking my nose just
it's been itching it. Go ahead, sorry, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
No.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
I came in eighth grade and it was the most
overwhelming awesome, so many lights and so much to do,
and it was so expensive and my parents were like,
oh my gosh, you order Chinese food here and you
don't get the rice with it, that's separate.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
This is crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And then I thought, well, that's a chaotic place. I'll
never be there again.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
And here we are.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, it's the only place that would hire you. That's
a reason I came to New York. No other radio
station would hire me. This is the only job I
could find, really.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Pretty solid shot.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Number one place to come home.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But it wasn't number one then what was it?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
We mean number one? Whether the station was.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Number one, market the market was number one.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah. I never wanted to live here, but now I'm here,
I'm like, okay.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Is it You guys were talking about this with a
court over street this morning. New York City is not
a place where you are comfortable. It's just not like
a hey, let me go relax type of city.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
It's very hard. It's not for the faint of heart.
It's expensive.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
You walk everywhere or take a train. It's just it's wild.
This is still it's been five years, but it's still
so different from me all the time, even from Boston.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Like, well, compare this to Boston, compared to Seattle.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh you can't.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, I used to drive in Boston. I'd pull up
in park it places.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
When I first moved to New York City, I would
I would drive, I draw my car. I'm parking on
the street. I would. You'd have to wait for the
parking loss to change at three pm, the opposite side
of the street parking, and you'd rush to your place
or stay in the car, just make sure you didn't
get a ticket.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Absolutely, even just driving here, it's like an obstacle.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Course, it's the craziest of you people throwing things pop or.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's working at video gaming.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
It's like Mario cart I love what Illege's like you, Danny,
this was horrible. I'm like, that is awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I'm sorry, I'm talking. So I'm sorry I'm talking. I
hear what we're saying.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Go ahead, Oh yeah, it's not though, I think driving
in the city is easy because you have to pay
attention and it can't go fast.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
It is worse now because of the bike. The bike,
Oh my gosh, they don't give a ship. They come
out of everywhere.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
So it tells about Seattle.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I think it's probably more similar to Boston, where like you,
I can drive places and park like that is what's
wild is that you can park in front of places,
but we don't have public transportation. Like there's a bus
I've told you, I've taken it once in eight years
of living there once. We don't have public transportationion, So
that's what's super frustrating.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
But I will say the funny thing when we moved
to Seattle was everyone would say the same thing. They go,
oh my god, aren't people here so much nicer than
they are in New York? And my answer was always
absolutely not. People, especially if you can take this with
any West Coast city, not just Seattle. People are nice, right,
They're not gonna curse you out in the middle of
(13:19):
the street, because you kind of get cursed out walking
around New York and probably even Boston too. It's the
East Coast thing. People will tell you if you're in
their way. But the cool thing about New York is
it does get a bad rap for being kind of
in your face and loud and whatnot. But if someone's
walking down the street here and they ask you for
directions and you happen to be walking in their direction,
you'll walk with them and you'll be like, oh, yeah,
(13:40):
I'm going, I'm going four blocks down in that direction.
I'll show you where you can make the left. New
Yorkers are nicer than people give them credit for. We're kinder.
But we'll also tell you if you're standing on the
top of the subway stairs taking a picture like an asshole,
we're going to tell you the way.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You know where used staying with us. And here's the thing.
You know, it's all because of living in wherever you live.
You see movies about New York, they're all based in
New York, and so the people, the characters in the
movies are usually robbers.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Rude, rude, someone from the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
But you know, but yeah, no, you know where you
stand with the New Yorker. I think that's it's I
think that's premium.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
But when you come from this area and then you
move to a quieter city. You're like, you're either aggressive, abrasive,
or you're like this magical character and no one can
understand how you're so outgoing and so wild and so witty.
And I'm like, no, I'm just like everybody else from there,
but here where everyone is so much more subdued. In Seattle,
a lot of tech workers just like coding. We're like
(14:39):
these boisterous wild elves that come out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
You two like the obnoxious of gas on the corner.
Yeah all right, well, welcome, welcome home. Thanks for leting
you always have a home with us as long as
we're here. But they may fires tomorrow. You're homeless. Well,
everyone say
Speaker 2 (14:58):

around everyone together it's such like a different vibe.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
It's fun.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Uh, elephant in the room time. Can we look at
Anthony's muscles. I've been flexing this whole time, but look
at that. So Corn, you sleep with him? I mean,
how long has this been going on? Next he?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I mean, I'd say for what like the last two
three years.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
He's like really been working out.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
But ironically enough, when he tore his achilles this June,
he like went even harder at the gym, so he's

Speaker 5 (01:53):

He looked a little bit like Johnny Bravo for a second,

Speaker 6 (02:04):
O, my gosh, when we went there too for the
All Star Game. For the MLB All Star Game, we
stayed with them, and he did not let that stop him.
He was doing everything and we would go someplace and
wed be like, maybe you can you handle it. I'm good,
puts the boot on. He's out there actually, and he
had this really cool device that I.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Never saw before called the I Walk two point zero.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Yeah, he's really cool.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So we had to meet him from lunch one day
for brunch. What's the name of that restaurant in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
We were at the Olympic Pharma.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So they walk in and Alex looks over and says,
did they amputate below the knee? Because it's a little

knee cap down, So it looked like you had been
you had an amputation. The way there's nothing wrong with that.
I don't love that.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
The way that it works is if you hurt your
foot or your achilles or something, you basically lean your
knee on this knee board thing and it has a
little peg leg and then you just hop around on it.
Instead of uh, having like the little cart that you
would use, this is a little more mobile.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
You're a pirate.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I did think you had lost it below then.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I didn't realize when I posted my first picture on
either Instagram or Twitter or whatever it was that the
angle that I took that picture from legitmate, it looks
like it made look like I had no leg So
many I was going pictures, what happened? Why do they amputate?
What's going on.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Someone yelled at him.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Once they realized that it was actually his achilles, someone
yelled at him. I was like, how dare you do
that to people and make us think that you're.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Like man, They thought that I was pretending to lose
my leg for sympathy likes. That's what they legitimately.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
People like that. Moving on, Hey, so welcome back to
New York. Of course, thank you Christmas Central. Other than
the North Pole, I mean, even though you guys are
both from New Jersey, you still get a little charge
coming into the city during Christmas.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
We were driving in this morning. We picked up Andy
on our way in and we're coming down six to
Halve and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
Look at Macy's.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I was like screaming about seeing Macy's, Like beautiful, Seattle's great.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
But Christmas time they just don't. We just don't do it.
Like the lights. It's not the same as here.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
We're everywhere you go, everyone is trying to one up

Speaker 6 (04:22):
If you want to go see the tree, this is
a good time. I think I'm might nine thirty. I
went the other morning, there was nobody at the tree.
It's perfect.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'm real reason why because it's light.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Yeah, you could still see the lights.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Yeah you can still see them.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You really could, Gandhi. Yeah you've been here for five years?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Are you still getting a charge out of New York City?
And at Christmas time?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
I mean every single time, every single day?
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (04:43):
I love it here. I don't you know, I travel
all the time in December. I don't want to go anywhere.
I just want to stay here because it's so magical.
And then of course everyone from out of town wants
to come see you during this time. But watching yesterday
the holiday special that you did with Jimmy Fallon, I
got to watch it from my window and I was like.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
This, this is just the coolest ship everg That's.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Right your window in Jersey City, New Jersey, in your
apartment building, you can see the Empire State Building.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yes, best views of New York or from New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Hell yeah, Scotty Bee, you grew up in Long Island.
All Long Island. Sorry, I mean, so, did you ever
used to sneak into the city when you were a kid?
I did?
Speaker 8 (05:20):
I remember coming in when I was thirteen years old
on the train by myself.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
What did your parents know you were coming in? You're
coming in to go to a porn store, weren't you?
Probably I did stop there.
Speaker 8 (05:30):
There's no there used.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
To be some great ones, I believe you.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
They clean that place up now, em dirty. Elma had
to pick up tickets.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But during the season, I would just.
Speaker 8 (05:41):
Stroll and be like, oh my god, like I was
this young, young teenage kid just.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Walking around all it must be just amazing as a kid. Well,
so so you Cartermarry, Anthony and Garright, I mean you
all lived outside of Manhattan proper. But coming in, Garret,
did you ever sneak in? I'm sorry, I am not
interrupting your eggs. You've been very busy. He's working sugar.
Speaker 9 (06:05):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Oh, good thing, now there we go.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (06:10):
No, I would sneak in, especially during high school, and
that's where I started to get my first fake id's
down in the village. And then I would lose the IDs,
and then for some reason I was stupid. I would
put my actual address, but I was I would live
in Connecticut, but they would send it back to my
Staten Island address, and my parents were like look what
came in the mail.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh my god, Danielle. Growing up in the Bronx, did
you ever come down to Manhattan and get crazy all
the time because you're you're actually you have the easiest access.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
It was easy, and I would come down all the
time with my I remember my grandmother taking me down
to see chorus Line for the first time on Broadway,
and I was like, this is the coolest thing ever
in New York. Is so awesome. When I was a little.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Kid, what was sneaking down on your own?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
No, come on now, me sneak on my own? No
they didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh my god. I would have been here every fucking day.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
I don't even think I thought of doing that for
some reason. I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Did you guys ever come in CAROMERI Antony.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Oh all the time? One of my earliest memories actually
is only one year we ever did this as a family.
My family came to New York on Christmas Day, which
if you're from here, you know, it's like the stupidest
thing you can do because it's wildly packed. And I
have two younger brothers, so I was probably eight or nine,
and I had very, very young siblings and one of
(07:25):
them got detached from our group. Now, we were at
the tree on Christmas Day and the memory I have
is my mom going full Mama bear and like pushing
people out of the way. And some guy I guess
like tried to tell my mom she was being rude
and she whipped her head around. She's like, I don't
(07:46):
know where my son is. You shut up, That's all
I remember. He was like, oh, you saw it happen.
Oh yeah, she was ready. I was probably eight or nine.
We were the only nine year old boy with a beard. Yes,
it was a mustache at the time. It was a
mustache at the time.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
What about you called them.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
Marine I definitely used to sneak it in high school.
I take the Path train.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I can see you and your your maybe your sister
or your girlfriend's coming in and getting into trouble.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, we would just like like walk around the city
because that was the cool thing to do. But even now,
like when I'm coming like yesterday, my parents are like
be careful tomorrow. I was like, what happened, You're going
into the city. Like growing up in New Jersey, my
parents like if they have to come to New York, city.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
It's a whole thing. They don't want to deal with it.
They can't stand it. They hate it. Where I'm like,
it's the city.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Like the fact that I worked in New York City
was mind boggling to them because they would never.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
They would never do that.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
The idea of having across the river and be in
this dangerous city is mind boggling to get that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
We know people. I've met people from Hoboken, for instance.
It's just one little path train ride away from New
York City. They haven't been into the city for twenty
five ye there's no need for them. It was like,
right there, we have is right here in New Jersey.
Why go over there? What about you?
Speaker 10 (08:58):
When you go on a vacation, you you sneak out
of the hotel room.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
And I was very young then, but no, when I
was in college, I had come here with friends and
we had a lot of fun. Well leave it at that.
Speaker 8 (09:11):
What is me bringing my kids into the city and
showing them all the things that made me excited? Yeah,
you know, it's fun to watch their faces as they
walk around Christmas time, like looking up at everything.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I love the fact that they appreciate it. Like I appreciate.
Like I feel like I don't take the city for
granted because anytime I see something, I'm like, oh, this
is still so cool, Like.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I still live here, yeeah, for sure, I'm like midtown man. Hot,
don't we go through Times Square?
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Like every day we see these lights, we see all
the stuff past Radio City.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
But can we Sky said that the ice skating rink
by Rockefeller Center is the most expensive ice skating you'll
ever do in your life.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
Well, I did it once.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
It's because they do the tickets based on popular times. Yeah,
it's in the morning, it's like forty or something like.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
That's so crazy.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah, but that.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Includes and everything.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
But later in the day a more popular times, it's expensive,
Like I want to bring the kids in next week.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
It's also just people believe nine dollars who have.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Never been on ice skates before, Like, you're going to
break a leg doing this because someone from a random
city who's never been on ice skates is going to
do it at the tree and take you out, nore belgical.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's a broken a limb under the tree.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Gandhi, what about you? Did you come as to New
York as like a kid.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Yeah, I came when I was in eighth grade.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Thank you Deanna for getting me picking my nose just
it's been itching it. Go ahead, sorry, that's okay.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
No.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
I came in eighth grade and it was the most
overwhelming awesome, so many lights and so much to do,
and it was so expensive and my parents were like,
oh my gosh, you order Chinese food here and you
don't get the rice with it, that's separate.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
This is crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And then I thought, well, that's a chaotic place. I'll
never be there again.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
And here we are.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, it's the only place that would hire you. That's
a reason I came to New York. No other radio
station would hire me. This is the only job I
could find, really.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Pretty solid shot.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Number one place to come home.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
But it wasn't number one then what was it?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
We mean number one? Whether the station was.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Number one, market the market was number one.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah. I never wanted to live here, but now I'm here,
I'm like, okay.
Speaker 7 (11:16):
Is it You guys were talking about this with a
court over street this morning. New York City is not
a place where you are comfortable. It's just not like
a hey, let me go relax type of city.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
It's very hard. It's not for the faint of heart.
It's expensive.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
You walk everywhere or take a train. It's just it's wild.
This is still it's been five years, but it's still
so different from me all the time, even from Boston.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Like, well, compare this to Boston, compared to Seattle.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Oh you can't.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, I used to drive in Boston. I'd pull up
in park it places.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah, it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
When I first moved to New York City, I would
I would drive, I draw my car. I'm parking on
the street. I would. You'd have to wait for the
parking loss to change at three pm, the opposite side
of the street parking, and you'd rush to your place
or stay in the car, just make sure you didn't
get a ticket.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
Absolutely, even just driving here, it's like an obstacle.
Speaker 7 (12:01):
Course, it's the craziest of you people throwing things pop or.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's working at video gaming.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
It's like Mario cart I love what Illege's like you, Danny,
this was horrible. I'm like, that is awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I'm sorry, I'm talking. So I'm sorry I'm talking. I
hear what we're saying.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Go ahead, Oh yeah, it's not though, I think driving
in the city is easy because you have to pay
attention and it can't go fast.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know what.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
It is worse now because of the bike. The bike,
Oh my gosh, they don't give a ship. They come
out of everywhere.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
So it tells about Seattle.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
I think it's probably more similar to Boston, where like you,
I can drive places and park like that is what's
wild is that you can park in front of places,
but we don't have public transportation. Like there's a bus
I've told you, I've taken it once in eight years
of living there once. We don't have public transportationion, So
that's what's super frustrating.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
But I will say the funny thing when we moved
to Seattle was everyone would say the same thing. They go,
oh my god, aren't people here so much nicer than
they are in New York? And my answer was always
absolutely not. People, especially if you can take this with
any West Coast city, not just Seattle. People are nice, right,
They're not gonna curse you out in the middle of
(13:19):
the street, because you kind of get cursed out walking
around New York and probably even Boston too. It's the
East Coast thing. People will tell you if you're in
their way. But the cool thing about New York is
it does get a bad rap for being kind of
in your face and loud and whatnot. But if someone's
walking down the street here and they ask you for
directions and you happen to be walking in their direction,
you'll walk with them and you'll be like, oh, yeah,
(13:40):
I'm going, I'm going four blocks down in that direction.
I'll show you where you can make the left. New
Yorkers are nicer than people give them credit for. We're kinder.
But we'll also tell you if you're standing on the
top of the subway stairs taking a picture like an asshole,
we're going to tell you the way.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
You know where used staying with us. And here's the thing.
You know, it's all because of living in wherever you live.
You see movies about New York, they're all based in
New York, and so the people, the characters in the
movies are usually robbers.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Rude, rude, someone from the Bronx.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
But you know, but yeah, no, you know where you
stand with the New Yorker. I think that's it's I
think that's premium.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
But when you come from this area and then you
move to a quieter city. You're like, you're either aggressive, abrasive,
or you're like this magical character and no one can
understand how you're so outgoing and so wild and so witty.
And I'm like, no, I'm just like everybody else from there,
but here where everyone is so much more subdued. In Seattle,
a lot of tech workers just like coding. We're like
(14:39):
these boisterous wild elves that come out of nowhere.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
You two like the obnoxious of gas on the corner.
Yeah all right, well, welcome, welcome home. Thanks for leting
you always have a home with us as long as
we're here. But they may fires tomorrow. You're homeless. Well,
everyone say
