We love our experience with Blue Apron. Every week that
box arrives, you open it up and you unpack the
right amount of fresh produce and meats and it comes
out to be those beautiful meals. You feel like you
created it, because you did. But you're using the easy
to read instructions from the Blue Apron chefs. They only
send you enough food for the recipes. Therefore there's no
food waste. So important, and like I said, the step
(00:21):

You can have complete meals done for you, your partner
or family of four or whatever in forty minutes or less.
And of course they have the Blue Apron Freshness guarantee

it right. This week's seared chicken and roasted fall vegetables
with caper butter pan sauce, shrimp and pesto, fetacchini with spinach,
(00:42):

(01:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Firm Elvis Represents Morning Show. I'm still not quite sure
how to feel about what happened on today's show. As
you know, yesterday that guy hopped in that rental truck
(01:24):
and mode down innocent people just out having a beautiful
day in New York City. So today I came in
in the message rather than being really sad and really down,
which we have every reason to be sad and down
because it's a very scary, very sad thing, we're encouraging
everyone to go ahead to live your lives and love
New York. It is a matter of fact. Bethany pointed out,
(01:47):
Let's be defiant. Let's actually say, hey, fuck you, We're
gonna live our lives in love New York City despite
what you try to do, you asshole. Sorry part of
my language. So here we are. I don't know if
I feel great about being in a great mood after
what happened and trying to be uplifting and feel uplifted,
or if you know, if we should just be really sad.
(02:08):
Has anyone thought about this? You have to move forward.
When I was in Israel two years ago, three blocks
away from us, somebody walked into a restaurant and shot
it up and killed a bunch of people, and then
we stayed inside. We didn't know what to do, so
we stayed locked in our apartment, and the next day
we decided to go walk around and we just happened
to walk by that place, and there there's people sitting
(02:28):
on the sidewalk cafe drinking coffee, having lunch. There's there's
boarded up, you know, pieces of ply wood over these
broken glass windows, and but people are out walking around
and and that's their mentality over there, at least, is
that they're used to me. Yeah, they're used to it.
You can't conquer us. Well, that's my point. It feels
weird saying we're used to that. I remember, you know,
(02:51):
after nine eleven, it took forever for people to get
it together and get back out into the streets and
eat at the outdoor sidewalk restaurants and stuff. Now it's
like no, no no, no, okay, well this is awful. Let's
adjust and let's move forward. And there's no disrespect for
the people who lost their lives with their families. But anyway,
it's New York City. Uh, the day after an awful,
awful event, we're still talking about it today. It is
(03:12):
your fifteen minute morning show podcast. In the room, we
have some new meat. We have producer Jake in here,
high producer Jake, how are you hello, We're doing great,
Welcome to the show. And also we have Dave Brody
and there's guarantee old meat. We have the one and
only producer Samantha, and we have straight Nate. But someone
else I'm dying to talk to and he has to
(03:33):
go get his work done. But I wanted to front
load of the show with you. Coaster boy Josh. Hello,
you're looking for uplifting and you brought me in here. Absolutely. Okay,
I know you get embarrassed when I tell this story.
But when you first moved to New York, do you
remember how much you loved this city? I mean it's
before you got you know, worn down by what it
can do to you. Remember remember the excitement you had
(03:54):
for New York City. Do you remember any of any
of the things used to say about New York City? Yeah,
it was life changing. Before I came here, I never
wanted to come here, even as a tourist. I was like,
I don't care New York whatever, overrated. And I remember
I flew you here for the weekend and everything changed. Yeah, totally,
then started hounding you to hire me and move me here.
(04:15):
It's just the energy of living in New York City.
There's nothing like it. I mean, I can hear it.
It's nothing like and and since you've moved here, you've
moved here and there, and here and there, Brooklyn, different
apartments right now. But now you're wanting you're thinking about
moving back to the city because you're willing to give
up a great life in New Jersey where you get
(04:37):
a lot for your money or more for your money anyway,
to move into the city where it's going to cost
you a lot to get very little. But you're ready
to do it. Why is that? What is it about
the city? It's and it's uh, it's inspiring, the the energy,
everyone's doing something awesome, everyone's moving around quickly. It I
need that. I need to be more inspired. I think. Okay, yeah,
(04:59):
all right, coach a boy, Josh, everyone, No, I get that.
I grew up in Erie, and the first time I
came here, I would think it was fifteen or sixteen
years old in high school, and there's just an energy
about New York City that I've never felt anywhere else.
And when I was fifteen or sixteen. Now he's just
wanted to move here ever since then. So let's talk
to the people who are from here. But first, Josh,
one more thing. Oh No, I'm just like getting back
(05:20):
from a vacation. It sucks getting back from a vacation always,
but going through that tunnel and like seeing my first
cab again, I'm like, ah, I'm back in the city.
It's it's just it gives you that shot in the
army need. It is a pain. And they asked to
live here. And my favorite story about Josh is he
asked me how much how much do I need to
make to be comfortable in My answer to you was, no,
(05:40):
one's comfortable. Billionaires are not comfortable here. You know this
crazy thing you did too. I don't know if you
remember this. Before I moved here. Uh, you told me
this is how much I would be making, and you
said you have to do this, and it was way
less than what I was actually going to be making.
But you made me make that decision having made less
(06:03):
evil even say it again. So you told me, hey,
you need to move here for this amount of money,
and there's no way I could have gotten that done,
but I said yes. And then you're like, okay, you're
actually making like this much money, and it was like
way more than what I tested you was that evil? Yeah,
I have an asshole. I wanted to see how badly
(06:24):
you wanted it, and you wanted it. So then he
took the job and said, Okay, you're making this much.
So now he makes like one point five million dollars, right,
get your one bedroom apartment? All right, all right, he's
got to go to work. Custom let's just talk me.
So what about you, guys. Look, I've I think I've
lived here longer than some of you have been alive.
So um, listen, producer Jakewell, and I've been here since
(06:48):
night so that means I was born Okay, So I've
basically been here about the same time you've been conscious
about where you live and what you're doing. Yeah, well
I live. I grew up in southern New Jersey outside,
so you didn't grow up in New York. Now, oh
my god, your dog just farted. It smells hard. Max
is farting away. What about you? Producer Samantha. I was
(07:10):
born in Brooklyn, New Jersey ninety moved to New Jersey
pretty quickly, and I was back and forth because all
my families in Brooklyn since then. Um, And it's it's
almost petrifying to be born here because you know how
a lot of people say you should move once in
your life, just go experience another area. I so fully
support that, and I love when people do it. But
(07:31):
I don't know that there's another place in the world
that has my I have very New York energy. So
just the thought of going somewhere, um, that's my biggest concern.
Like my um, very much like my mother, she moved
to l A for six months and came back immediately
because the spirit didn't match her. Like I feel like
I have an appropriate spirit for where I live. So
(07:52):
the thought of moving, you know, it's just, you know,
everyone should Maybe when I say everyone should go somewhere
else for a year, I mean everyone should come to us. Well, yeah,
everyone should live in New York City for at least
a year. Garrett, you grew up in Staten Island, which
is a part of New York City, but as far
as the boroughs go, it really seems to be its
own little town exactly. I mean, I think growing up
(08:13):
in New York it gave me made me the person
who I am. The grind, the hustle, it's beautiful, it's great.
But the energy of just knowing that everyone's trying to
accomplish something else and something more makes you want to
do something else and something more as well. Well. That
is a major part of our city. Is a lot
of people who live here are here for those goals
(08:35):
to be met, and most of them are professional. And
sometimes it's hard to have a relationship with someone who
lives in New York City because they're really on their
own journey and you have to sort of merge into
their their other ideas of what they want out of life.
And uh, it's it's not easy going to have a
relationship in the city because everyone is climbing that ladder
to somewhere. And even though it's so loud and noisy
(08:56):
and smelly at times. One of my favorite moments of
being in New York working in New York is coming
into work around four thirty in the morning. There's hardly
anyone in the street, and you're literally could stop in
the middle of the street without getting run over and
look uptown and just see all the lights, so quiet,
so beautiful, something that you everyone doesn't really get to
(09:17):
experience in New York unless you're drunk on a Saturday
night coming home. That's why I love Sunday morning. Uh.
And of course Brooklyn's own Brody. Thank you. I mean
you are you are a true New Yorker. You can
hear it in your voice, your attitude, that's who you are. Yeah,
I have to agree with Sam. People say you have
to live other places. I can't imagine any other any
place I would live that I would fit in because
(09:39):
I always go to I go to Chicago and go
you barely fit in here. Chicago is great, but it's
not New York. It's missing this, it's missing that. Oh
the people aren't they don't speak fast enough, they don't
move fast enough. And so I like traveling. But what
I like more than anything is when I walk through
the streets in Manhattan and I'll go to my car,
I'm I'm shopping or eating whatever, and there's that person
who's looking around and they have a map or they
(10:02):
don't know where they are. I'm the type of New
Yorker that goes up to them deliberately and says, hey,
can I help you find something? Because I want people
to love this city. I want people to come here
for a week three days and feel the way I
do and want to come here again or move here.
When people say, oh my god, I was in New York,
I want to live there someday. Nothing makes me happy.
I feel like everyone should be an ambassador for this
(10:24):
city that lives here, and I feel like that's my
role as a New Yorker is to meet people who
aren't from here and tell him how great it is.
Because when you travel, people think it's like the TV shows.
They think it's like law and order. They think, like,
you know, this crime everywhere, and the streets are this
All of that sometimes happens, the stink, the garbage, whatever.
This is the greatest city. Nate mentioned the subways, the
(10:44):
fact that you can get on a train and go
anywhere that you can see a Broadway show and then
go to Central Park and feel like you're in the
suburbs in the middle of Manhattan. Everything you could possibly
want is here. And that's why I don't travel as
much as maybe other people do because I haven't finished
see my own city. There's so much here, and so
I love it. I love what people say I talk fast,
move fast because to me, it's just normal. And I
(11:06):
love that. Like Sam said, I love it, but I
just love what other people love it. You know, when
Jake moves here, and and and Nate moved here, and
Josh moves here, nothing makes me happier than that. To
hear that other people love what I have makes me
feel special. The only problem when Josh moved here, though,
The only thing I'm still mad at him at is Elvis.
You gave him the option when he moved here to
take the entire show to a Yankee game, sitting the
(11:28):
most expensive seats ever. Were very excited Josh. We're like,
all right, Josh, make this decision. He goes, I'd rather
go to a Broadway show, which is still great, but
we missed out on an opportunity at sitting at very
expensive seat. I know, but that was a gift for
him and not you. But anyway, he'd never forgiven him
for that. Now, say that's another New York thing. Just
don't forgive people your friends what do you love about it? Elvis,
(11:52):
what's your favorite thing that you if you had to
do it all over again, the one thing that you
would make sure you didn't miss h all of it.
I mean, I just love New York. I've learned so
much about people in New York. People. Look, I'm from
the South, where you know, Uh, there are a lot
of people in the South that New Yorkers need to
learn about, Okay, But here in New York you learn
from about people from different nation, from different nations, different religions,
(12:15):
different different food The food culture teaches you a lot. Here.
You can travel around the world just by going to
Queens and going to Brooklyn and two different restaurants and
all the boroughs. Now, what I love most about New
York is what I miss when I'm away from New York.
And I know that sounds kind of weird, but look,
New York grinds you down. I know, the life I'm living.
I can't speak for everyone here in the city in
(12:36):
the room, but New York City just wears you down.
Sometimes the energy is fantastic, and the energy is debilitating.
The noise is invigorating and the noise is irritating. You know,
every great thing in New York City can also become
just way too much because everything here is so amplified,
(12:58):
the noise, the taste, everything. Sometimes it's great to just
get on that plane, And when I get on a
plane in flat of New York, I'm like, oh God,
it's so good to get out of the city. But
when I'm on that plane landing at one of the
New York airports and I see the skyline, I'm so
happy to be home, unless it's LaGuardia. But you know, okay,
(13:19):
you know, I'll even give Laguaria okay, being nice. But yeah,
you know, the things I dislike about the city are
also the things I love most about the city, which
I guess you could describe about any relationship you have
with any loved one in your life. I love New York.
The thing that blows my mind is that you could
go that you could eat somewhere different and drink somewhere
different every day and not eat or drink at the
(13:40):
same place for like years. Yeah, there was a study
and I think the number was I think it was
nine years. You could eat somewhere different for every meal
we go back, we go back to the same place,
which the same thing. Now. I looked at trip Advisor.
I was looking at this restaurant I wanted to go
to dinner to just to see where it's ranked on
trip Advisor. New York City Manhattan alone has like thousand restaurants,
(14:01):
and that's just listed in trip advisu. That's just listening.
So if a restaurants listed at number that's still high
on the list, that's still y restaurant number three is
still highly rated. That's why when when you go to
a small town American and listen. I love small town America.
But when you live in a town, for me where
you can put a thought in front of something, I
can't live there. If you say, hey, let's go to
(14:23):
the Walmart or the Burgee King or the dairy Queen,
I'm not used to that. I'm used to being able
to say, Hey, you want to go to Starbucks? Which one?
The one? Which one? The one on the west side?
Which one? I'll blow your mind. In Erie, Pennsylvania, it's
the movie theater. We got we got one. Okay, Look,
I I grew I grew up in a small town America,
(14:43):
Little McKinney, Texas. But we always had Dallas to drive
to which was like thirty minutes away. But now and
now I have a house in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
which is very slow. The reason I love Santa Fe
is because it's beautiful. There's lots of art, there are
lots of great food, and it's quiet. It's the everything
opposite the New York City. So there's if you're gonna
have another place to go from wherever you live, just
(15:05):
for a vacation or wherever, for whatever reason, you choose
the thing that's totally opposite from where you live. And
Santa Fe could not be more different than New York City.
But coming back to New York City, who I love it.
You know, look, I know we're going on and on
about New York City and you may be sitting there
and wherever you are Ville USA, going okay, enough enough enough.
(15:25):
You know what, something major, major, major, happened here yesterday.
But if you think about it, even though not as devastating,
major things happen in New York City every sixty seconds
or less. Because that's what New York City is about.
That's why New York City is a target, because there's
something major happening, good, bad, important, every minute. And that's
(15:45):
why we love New York City, and that's why we're
a target too. So why do we live in New
York City if it's such a target. Because it is
a target, we love it. How awful is that? We
love you, New York City? In Morning Show

of people who live here are here for those goals
(08:35):
to be met, and most of them are professional. And
sometimes it's hard to have a relationship with someone who
lives in New York City because they're really on their
own journey and you have to sort of merge into
their their other ideas of what they want out of life.
And uh, it's it's not easy going to have a
relationship in the city because everyone is climbing that ladder
to somewhere. And even though it's so loud and noisy
(08:56):
and smelly at times. One of my favorite moments of
being in New York working in New York is coming
into work around four thirty in the morning. There's hardly
anyone in the street, and you're literally could stop in
the middle of the street without getting run over and
look uptown and just see all the lights, so quiet,
so beautiful, something that you everyone doesn't really get to
(09:17):
experience in New York unless you're drunk on a Saturday
night coming home. That's why I love Sunday morning. Uh.
And of course Brooklyn's own Brody. Thank you. I mean
you are you are a true New Yorker. You can
hear it in your voice, your attitude, that's who you are. Yeah,
I have to agree with Sam. People say you have
to live other places. I can't imagine any other any
place I would live that I would fit in because
(09:39):
I always go to I go to Chicago and go
you barely fit in here. Chicago is great, but it's
not New York. It's missing this, it's missing that. Oh
the people aren't they don't speak fast enough, they don't
move fast enough. And so I like traveling. But what
I like more than anything is when I walk through
the streets in Manhattan and I'll go to my car,
I'm I'm shopping or eating whatever, and there's that person
who's looking around and they have a map or they
(10:02):
don't know where they are. I'm the type of New
Yorker that goes up to them deliberately and says, hey,
can I help you find something? Because I want people
to love this city. I want people to come here
for a week three days and feel the way I
do and want to come here again or move here.
When people say, oh my god, I was in New York,
I want to live there someday. Nothing makes me happy.
I feel like everyone should be an ambassador for this
(10:24):
city that lives here, and I feel like that's my
role as a New Yorker is to meet people who
aren't from here and tell him how great it is.
Because when you travel, people think it's like the TV shows.
They think it's like law and order. They think, like,
you know, this crime everywhere, and the streets are this
All of that sometimes happens, the stink, the garbage, whatever.
This is the greatest city. Nate mentioned the subways, the
(10:44):
fact that you can get on a train and go
anywhere that you can see a Broadway show and then
go to Central Park and feel like you're in the
suburbs in the middle of Manhattan. Everything you could possibly
want is here. And that's why I don't travel as
much as maybe other people do because I haven't finished
see my own city. There's so much here, and so
I love it. I love what people say I talk fast,
move fast because to me, it's just normal. And I
(11:06):
love that. Like Sam said, I love it, but I
just love what other people love it. You know, when
Jake moves here, and and and Nate moved here, and
Josh moves here, nothing makes me happier than that. To
hear that other people love what I have makes me
feel special. The only problem when Josh moved here, though,
The only thing I'm still mad at him at is Elvis.
You gave him the option when he moved here to
take the entire show to a Yankee game, sitting the
(11:28):
most expensive seats ever. Were very excited Josh. We're like,
all right, Josh, make this decision. He goes, I'd rather
go to a Broadway show, which is still great, but
we missed out on an opportunity at sitting at very
expensive seat. I know, but that was a gift for
him and not you. But anyway, he'd never forgiven him
for that. Now, say that's another New York thing. Just
don't forgive people your friends what do you love about it? Elvis,
(11:52):
what's your favorite thing that you if you had to
do it all over again, the one thing that you
would make sure you didn't miss h all of it.
I mean, I just love New York. I've learned so
much about people in New York. People. Look, I'm from
the South, where you know, Uh, there are a lot
of people in the South that New Yorkers need to
learn about, Okay, But here in New York you learn
from about people from different nation, from different nations, different religions,
(12:15):
different different food The food culture teaches you a lot. Here.
You can travel around the world just by going to
Queens and going to Brooklyn and two different restaurants and
all the boroughs. Now, what I love most about New
York is what I miss when I'm away from New York.
And I know that sounds kind of weird, but look,
New York grinds you down. I know, the life I'm living.
I can't speak for everyone here in the city in
(12:36):
the room, but New York City just wears you down.
Sometimes the energy is fantastic, and the energy is debilitating.
The noise is invigorating and the noise is irritating. You know,
every great thing in New York City can also become
just way too much because everything here is so amplified,
(12:58):
the noise, the taste, everything. Sometimes it's great to just
get on that plane, And when I get on a
plane in flat of New York, I'm like, oh God,
it's so good to get out of the city. But
when I'm on that plane landing at one of the
New York airports and I see the skyline, I'm so
happy to be home, unless it's LaGuardia. But you know, okay,
(13:19):
you know, I'll even give Laguaria okay, being nice. But yeah,
you know, the things I dislike about the city are
also the things I love most about the city, which
I guess you could describe about any relationship you have
with any loved one in your life. I love New York.
The thing that blows my mind is that you could
go that you could eat somewhere different and drink somewhere
different every day and not eat or drink at the
(13:40):
same place for like years. Yeah, there was a study
and I think the number was I think it was
nine years. You could eat somewhere different for every meal
we go back, we go back to the same place,
which the same thing. Now. I looked at trip Advisor.
I was looking at this restaurant I wanted to go
to dinner to just to see where it's ranked on
trip Advisor. New York City Manhattan alone has like thousand restaurants,
(14:01):
and that's just listed in trip advisu. That's just listening.
So if a restaurants listed at number that's still high
on the list, that's still y restaurant number three is
still highly rated. That's why when when you go to
a small town American and listen. I love small town America.
But when you live in a town, for me where
you can put a thought in front of something, I
can't live there. If you say, hey, let's go to
(14:23):
the Walmart or the Burgee King or the dairy Queen,
I'm not used to that. I'm used to being able
to say, Hey, you want to go to Starbucks? Which one?
The one? Which one? The one on the west side?
Which one? I'll blow your mind. In Erie, Pennsylvania, it's
the movie theater. We got we got one. Okay, Look,
I I grew I grew up in a small town America,
(14:43):
Little McKinney, Texas. But we always had Dallas to drive
to which was like thirty minutes away. But now and
now I have a house in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
which is very slow. The reason I love Santa Fe
is because it's beautiful. There's lots of art, there are
lots of great food, and it's quiet. It's the everything
opposite the New York City. So there's if you're gonna
have another place to go from wherever you live, just
(15:05):
for a vacation or wherever, for whatever reason, you choose
the thing that's totally opposite from where you live. And
Santa Fe could not be more different than New York City.
But coming back to New York City, who I love it.
You know, look, I know we're going on and on
about New York City and you may be sitting there
and wherever you are Ville USA, going okay, enough enough enough.
(15:25):
You know what, something major, major, major, happened here yesterday.
But if you think about it, even though not as devastating,
major things happen in New York City every sixty seconds
or less. Because that's what New York City is about.
That's why New York City is a target, because there's
something major happening, good, bad, important, every minute. And that's
(15:45):
why we love New York City, and that's why we're
a target too. So why do we live in New
York City if it's such a target. Because it is
a target, we love it. How awful is that? We
love you, New York City? In Morning Show
