So Yako is uh.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
He's a program director of Y one hundred in Miami,
and we took him out to dinner last night. We
went to have some sushi, some great food. We went
to Bond Street at Hudson Yards and he he wanted
the sake. And I love sake as well, but I
like it cold. He likes it hot. Okay, they didn't
have it hot. We're finding more and more restaurants don't

(00:45):
have hot socket. Oh yeah, because a lot of traditionalists
don't think hot sake is the way to drink sake.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Sake is very strong. Yes, well it's it's it can be. Okay.
Here's yallo, Hey, Yako wearing a New York Yankees baseball hat.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yes, well, he wanted He didn't want to do his
hair today.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
You see his hair? Sure your hair? Here we go
and there's no hair. All right, It's very cute.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
What is what is your backgrounds on Pipul's cousin, what's
your background? By the way, I am Puerto Rican.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah see, I rarely see a bald Puerto Rican really.
I never see a bald Mexican ever. Ever, I'm Scottish.
That's why I'm balding right.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, you know, I mean for me, it's I don't
I don't know, I don't know. I just seen some
bald perto Ricans.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
I think in New York you're gonna find some bald
perto Ricans and some bald Dominicans as well.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
All right, I'm gonna go look at today. Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
So, Yaka, we go out, we sit down, great restaurant, right,
I mean amazing Bond Street, a Hudson Yards.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Thank you. So like, okay, let's.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Order some cocktails. And I said, let's get a bottle
of socket, right because I love it, Joe Jo. But
Yako says, well, I like my sake hot, which is
not unusual a lot of people do. And they said, well,
we don't do that here. And I'm like, well, she said,
we we will one day. We just don't. So you said,

(02:13):
you you run into this all the time. I run
into all the time. In fact that my in Miami
as well. Like, I went to a restaurant the other
day and it was high end, just like the one
we were there yesterday, and I said hot sake, and
I was enjoying the sushi was amazing, and they said, well,
we don't have a way.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
To heat up your sake. Yes, you have a microwave.
I said, do you have a microwave?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Like?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Is it an issue to have hot sake? That's my question?
Well it is. Some people look at you weirdly.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, okay, Texas, now we're doing he want ya? Yes, yeah,
y'all go with sake.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
He's like, let's let's do a poll, because you know,
program directors are always doing research. Let's find out what
percentage of people that texted like high versus cold. Okay,
if you don't like it, we don't want to hear
from you right now. You don't don't type in well
I don't like soke. Well okay, we're not looking.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
For that part of the poll.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Thank you, Yes, kiddy, what I feel like, the higher
price points on sake would be cold, and there is
no expensive bougie hot sake.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
So if you're at a higher end restaurant. They're gonna
tend to not serve it. They'll look down on a person.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
That's so you're saying. They for hotsoke, they use like
the bad socket, is what he's saying.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
That's what he says.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
I feel a bit shamed in this conversation.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Do you feel a little bit short a little bit?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Do you like hot sooker?

Speaker 3 (03:38):
I did?

Speaker 4 (03:38):
I always thought hot. I always thought ske was served
hot and hot sake. And then when Yako said, oh,
we couldn't get it, I was like, really, I've never
heard of that. And some people were like, well, the
hot end place is doing sup you and.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Your pole people that. I'm sure I'll will enjoy the
hot like a hot talk he does.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
That's the only way I've ever had it, you know, Okay,
but I go to cheap ass restaurant.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'm pretty sure like every hiboshie place I've ever been
to serves hot hockey. Yes, the places are waiting for.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
So you go to you go to like a Noboo,
or you go to where we went last night, Bond Street.
They have sock lists, just like they have wine lists,
I mean, and they have some high, high priced sake.
They're not going to take any of that and heat
it up in a rocker way. So now they have
to go down to the cheap store and get some
cheap sock.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I'm for it.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Why, I don't know. Here they come, okay, oh here
look at this. This one says cold sake, no question,
and then a hot of vote for hot, another vote
for hot. Hot baby, there's I prefer hot. Never have
a problem getting it. Uh, let's say Connecticut has a
lot of bald perto Ricans. We just got that tech

(04:51):
there you go, and Cubans too.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Is this like going to a high end steakhouse and
asking them for steak sauce.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
It could be.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I don't know how, dad, when a lot of high
end steakhouses have their own brand of steakhouse sauce, so
they'll give it to you. But like, for instance, my
husband Alex I explained this to them at the table
last night. He likes red wine, like really nice red wine,
but he likes ice in it. And the wine wine
Steward or Wade or whatever will come over and really,

(05:20):
this is a mistake. I just read this on my ticket,
says he want to He's like, yeah, I want ice
in it, and I'm like, just give him ice, Just
give him mice.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Stop the fight. We have the socket. Well, here's the thing.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
I think that the hot socky it tastes completely different
from the cold sockey. Because when we were tasting the
cold soakey yesterday, I said to elve, is this tastes
like wine? So it gives me that like that wine
tastes like if I'm just drinking just regular wine.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Well, I think that they equate it to a wine
a little bit, or it is saki wine. Well, uh
is made of rice, it's rice wine.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
I don't know. Look, I'm not an expert. I just
love hot hockey, and it's atally matters.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
The whole point is just to get a to get
a feel what the audience is saying. And right now
a majority of our listeners at this moment are saying
they like it hot.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Let's go Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Me, I prefer it cold. I think if you're gonna
drink hot sockey, you are nothing but trash. Wow, I'm kidding,
you're a trash No, no, and I and I totally
don't mean that. And I don't believe any restaurant wants
you to feel that way either. I just think you know,
it's I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's what We should bring hot socket to the high
end and restaurants.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Do you agree, Absolutely, teach them a lesson and start
carrying a hot plate with you so when they say, oh,
there's no way for us to hit it up, don't worry.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Do you have a plug? Why do you want to
charge your phone?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:44):
I need to.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I need to plug in my microwave for my hot
socket to like cheaper restaurants or something. Why if you're
not paying, I heart paid for this. Thank you, thank you,
We appreciate it.
