- 1:00Speaker 1: you know, everyone comes up to you and wants to
- 1:01Speaker 1: get your money off. Yeah, there's people in costumes. There's
- 1:04Speaker 1: people with Gucci baggs. I'm pretty sure they're not Gucci bags,
- 1:06Speaker 1: but they're selling them very much cheap.
- 1:07Speaker 2: They are not.
- 1:08Speaker 4: None of them are never ever ever Like I used
- 1:11Speaker 4: to think maybe a few of them like fell off
- 1:12Speaker 4: the back of a truck, but like they are all faked,
- 1:14Speaker 4: but they're like amazing figs.
- 1:16Speaker 1: I love.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Just googled a Gucci actually do have a line of
- 1:19Speaker 3: street salespeople.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Yeah, they sell it on blankets that they can pick
- 1:23Speaker 1: up quite quickly as well and move somewhere else.
- 1:26Speaker 4: It is crazy, though, I mean they have gotten like
- 1:28Speaker 4: if you go down to Chinatown and stuff some of
- 1:30Speaker 4: the designer stuff, they have gotten so close that it
- 1:33Speaker 4: really is hard to tell.
- 1:35Speaker 2: And I mean like I'm not above that, no, exactly,
- 1:38Speaker 2: it's way cheaper. At least someone's gonna speak to it
- 1:40Speaker 2: then then.
- 1:41Speaker 4: But also you need to learn when you're in New York,
- 1:44Speaker 4: you look straight and if somebody approaches you, you put
- 1:47Speaker 4: your hand up and say I'm sorry, I have no time,
- 1:49Speaker 4: or you put your cell phone to your ear and
- 1:51Speaker 4: go I'm on a call.
- 1:53Speaker 2: You do not let people come to you.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Obviously, big news over the politics, the race for the
- 1:58Speaker 1: White House. Joe by As finally decided it's too much
- 2:01Speaker 1: for him. He's gonna have a nap. I don't know.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about. The first time
- 2:05Speaker 2: hearing of.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, the thing is, I think it needed
- 2:09Speaker 4: to happen. I think that he's a good person. He
- 2:12Speaker 4: did the best that he could. But a lot of
- 2:14Speaker 4: people sort of likened this whole thing too, when your
- 2:17Speaker 4: grandpa gets older and it's like, Grandpa, you should not
- 2:20Speaker 4: be driving anymore kind of thing. Like he did a
- 2:22Speaker 4: lot of amazing things. Whether you love him or hate him,
- 2:24Speaker 4: he did a lot of amazing things. But it was
- 2:26Speaker 4: time and that's why people retire. Right, you're old, you
- 2:28Speaker 4: should go and enjoy and sail off into the sunset.
- 2:31Speaker 5: But he wasn't driving, he wasn't right, but he was
- 2:34Speaker 5: in control.
- 2:35Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, yeah, I mean honestly, like just I know
- 2:38Speaker 4: that we shouldn't be laughing about this, but like the
- 2:40Speaker 4: memes alone that came out of that debate, like him
- 2:43Speaker 4: just looking so freaking confused.
- 2:45Speaker 3: The thing that was for me I felt really bad
- 2:47Speaker 3: is after the debate there was footage of him and
- 2:49Speaker 3: his lovely wife Jill, and Jill had him on stage
- 2:52Speaker 3: and she was like he didn't need too well the quizz.
- 2:59Speaker 4: I wonder if she was like a little power hungry
- 3:01Speaker 4: and like she wanted him to say, like, let's do this.
- 3:03Speaker 2: You still got it in you. He's still got a
- 3:05Speaker 2: little bit of gas.
- 3:06Speaker 1: I was traveling through the airport and you know how
- 3:08Speaker 1: when you go on your Wi Fi and other people's
- 3:10Speaker 1: WiFi pops up. I'm gonna swear here, we're gonna have
- 3:12Speaker 1: the beat machine. Someone's WiFi was fight No.
- 3:17Speaker 4: I mean I couldn't get off it does It is
- 3:19Speaker 4: crazy because depending on where you are in the country,
- 3:21Speaker 4: like we are in New York and we drove all
- 3:23Speaker 4: the way down to North Carolina, so as you enter
- 3:26Speaker 4: the South, I saw flags with Trump on him dressed
- 3:29Speaker 4: as Rambo.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Like people feel very strongly about Yeah.
- 3:35Speaker 4: At the moment that the attempted assassination happened, my husband
- 3:39Speaker 4: looked at me.
- 3:39Speaker 2: He was like, that's it, Like he won, Like and
- 3:42Speaker 2: the fact that.
- 3:42Speaker 4: He knew that it grazed and didn't get him, and
- 3:44Speaker 4: he was like like.
- 3:46Speaker 3: Just the USA chant off the back of it.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I was, this is this.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Is making Yeah, it was crazy.
- 3:52Speaker 1: It really was great.
- 3:52Speaker 3: And so Kamala Karma, Karmala Mamala. You think she's gonna mower?
- 3:57Speaker 3: And now it feels like the support is suede crazy.
- 4:00Speaker 4: I mean like, honestly, there's people like starting in this
- 4:02Speaker 4: country and we just like they just raised fifty million
- 4:05Speaker 4: dollars for her in one day, which is pretty insane living.
- 4:08Speaker 4: I mean, it's historic, right, this has never happened when
- 4:10Speaker 4: it's never stepped down like this. Obviously this would be
- 4:12Speaker 4: the first woman president for US.
- 4:14Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 4:15Speaker 2: I think you's gonnaite gonna give him run for his money?
- 4:16Speaker 1: Can I can I ask you a question because the
- 4:18Speaker 1: obviously you're over there in America. I just I just
- 4:21Speaker 1: came back and I struggled to say my name. Now,
- 4:24Speaker 1: how should I be saying my name? Every time I'd
- 4:26Speaker 1: order a hot drink or somewhere you know, food and
- 4:29Speaker 1: they have to call out my name? I would say
- 4:31Speaker 1: beIN and my New Zealand accent, and I got pen
- 4:34Speaker 1: p I in p e in I got yeh beer
- 4:36Speaker 1: if I okay?
- 4:37Speaker 2: Ben?
- 4:38Speaker 4: Yeah, yes it's Ben. So what you're saying is b
- 4:41Speaker 4: I n Ben. That's just your accent. But guess what
- 4:44Speaker 4: if you're at any Starbucks, no one's getting your name right.
- 4:47Speaker 2: It could be they mess up all of our names.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Because I wondered if I was doing something wrong, if
- 4:51Speaker 1: I needed to you.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Know, no, it's not.
- 4:54Speaker 3: When you tell someone your name, you can tell they
- 4:56Speaker 3: don't care what your name is anyway on day to day.
- 4:59Speaker 5: So so if we said jotto, what does it sound
- 5:02Speaker 5: like we're saying to you John?
- 5:04Speaker 3: No?
- 5:04Speaker 2: John, know that that sounds that sounds right.
- 5:07Speaker 3: I get a lot of over there from the Hispanic community. Hono, Yeah,
- 5:11Speaker 3: they call me Hono.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Actually that's bitter. Yeah, the gymisa sound.
- 5:16Speaker 4: But like also, you guys just see different things like
- 5:17Speaker 4: when my producer Ben from Australia says like like do
- 5:20Speaker 4: you have any like aluminium foil?
- 5:22Speaker 2: I'm like, what the frig is that? But that's not
- 5:24Speaker 2: what is aluminium? I think it's just you know.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Oh yeah, can I say? Can I say you guys
- 5:30Speaker 1: you love the Olympics, Like every shop you would go
- 5:32Speaker 1: to you would be able to get USA merchandise for
- 5:35Speaker 1: the Olympics like everywhere.
- 5:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean literally like my Amazon it might as
- 5:39Speaker 4: well before the July Like they are literally just like
- 5:41Speaker 4: support your country and people do you want to support?
- 5:44Speaker 4: And people, especially in New York City, people get excited.
- 5:46Speaker 4: So there's certain events like the bars will be packed
- 5:49Speaker 4: and you need your American flag stuff and you need
- 5:52Speaker 4: all your USB stuff. So yeah, they know how to
- 5:54Speaker 4: take advantage of any way.
- 5:55Speaker 5: Snoop Dogg is as the official one of the official
- 5:58Speaker 5: torch bearers house.
- 6:00Speaker 4: He cocked out with you guys, there's nothing better than that.
- 6:03Speaker 2: There's nothing better.
- 6:04Speaker 4: The last time I interviewed him, it was on Zoom
- 6:07Speaker 4: and he smoked an entire blunt while I interviewed him,
- 6:11Speaker 4: Like he I'd ask him a question, we'd be talking
- 6:13Speaker 4: and he'd take a second and a couple of puffs
- 6:15Speaker 4: and then he would answer. And I'm assuming he's going
- 6:18Speaker 4: to do the same wall.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Joint with the torch.
- 6:22Speaker 5: It would be it's the beast slider in the world, right, Yeah,
- 6:27Speaker 5: I mean he's just so great and he's he really
- 6:29Speaker 5: is so sweet, and he knows what he's doing, like
- 6:32Speaker 5: he knows like his stick.
- 6:33Speaker 4: He knows that people want him to do the snoop stuff,
- 6:35Speaker 4: and his commentating was just so popular when he did
- 6:38Speaker 4: it last time, and it's like he's like the everyman man, right,
- 6:40Speaker 4: so when he talks, it's like kind of like what
- 6:42Speaker 4: we're thinking when we're watching some of these events.
- 6:43Speaker 2: So I think it's really fun.
- 6:44Speaker 3: So it feels like he's done a co lab with
- 6:46Speaker 3: the olympos. Is he doing commentary over the year too.
- 6:49Speaker 4: I believe he's going to be doing some commentary with
- 6:51Speaker 4: a bunch of others. I mean he did it with
- 6:53Speaker 4: I think Heart the last time, which was epic. Oh,
- 6:56Speaker 4: it was legendary.
- 6:57Speaker 1: It's kind a lot we have out here. We have
- 6:58Speaker 1: the alternate commentary. I think it was kind of like
- 7:00Speaker 1: that Heart would kind of provide funny commentary of so
- 7:04Speaker 1: you had an option and it was very hilarious. Some
- 7:06Speaker 1: of the stuff we saw was very, very funny.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Even at the super Bowl. So before his halftime performance
- 7:10Speaker 3: at the super Bowl, there was cell phone footage of
- 7:12Speaker 3: him smoking weed before the performance start half time?
- 7:15Speaker 2: Is he even not Heah? No, I'm pretty sure he
- 7:17Speaker 2: wakes up.
- 7:18Speaker 4: He rolls over with either a joint, a blonde or
- 7:22Speaker 4: a bong in his face. I mean, I just think
- 7:23Speaker 4: that that's how he lives his life, and you do
- 7:25Speaker 4: you Bill, Look if that.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Works for you, It's just part of who he is.
- 7:28Speaker 2: It's high functioning, well high look at this totally totally.
- 7:32Speaker 3: I'm just googled one hundred and fifty one hundred and
- 7:34Speaker 3: fifty joints a day.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very expensive. Well, you have the money, So
- 7:40Speaker 2: he's okay.
- 7:41Speaker 3: If he comes into your studio, are you like, sorry,
- 7:43Speaker 3: snoop dog, you can't smoke in hear or what hell's
- 7:46Speaker 3: it rolled out? No?
- 7:47Speaker 4: So the last time he came up to the studio,
- 7:50Speaker 4: I mean he walked in, we all.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Got a contact high.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Obviously, they don't let him smoke in our studio. But
- 7:55Speaker 4: he rolls up and when our talent like readers come,
- 7:59Speaker 4: they open the door or to the car service that
- 8:01Speaker 4: has brought him, and it's literally.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Like a poof of smoke coming out. He comes up.
- 8:05Speaker 4: They put in the green room. They allow him to
- 8:06Speaker 4: smoke pot in the green room, but don't tell anybody
- 8:09Speaker 4: I told you that. And then he comes so, yeah,
- 8:11Speaker 4: he needs another quick one before he comes into this,
- 8:13Speaker 4: but not in our studio.
- 8:14Speaker 1: In New York, it's legal right, there was there were
- 8:16Speaker 1: stores over there was weed stores. But the people selling
- 8:19Speaker 1: it outside with like the rolled up now they didn't
- 8:21Speaker 1: seem like official people. But the cops, lots of cops everywhere.
- 8:24Speaker 1: They were just like walk past.
- 8:26Speaker 4: Yeah, don't do that, don't touch the people off the
- 8:28Speaker 4: of the street. But there are there's tons of dispensaries.
- 8:30Speaker 4: There's tons of little stores literally like Wanner Show every block.
- 8:33Speaker 4: And yes it is now legal, so I you really
- 8:35Speaker 4: can't walk down the street without smelling it. And I
- 8:37Speaker 4: think it's the best. It's like a stupid thing to
- 8:39Speaker 4: be illegal. It's not that there's so many things that
- 8:41Speaker 4: are hurting that people. That is the last thing that
- 8:43Speaker 4: is hurting people.
- 8:44Speaker 1: And I'll meet you to these guys. So you guys
- 8:46Speaker 1: love a revolving door in New York, jeez, you love
- 8:49Speaker 1: you love every show. Yeah, I ran into the one
- 8:53Speaker 1: at Sephora. I didn't realize it was glass around the
- 8:55Speaker 1: outside of it, and I was like, you gotta go quick, kids,
- 8:57Speaker 1: and I ran straight you no glass.
- 8:59Speaker 4: One of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm I'm
- 9:02Speaker 4: going through one, because we have them up a serious XM.
- 9:04Speaker 4: When I'm going through and I'm coming out. Just wait,
- 9:07Speaker 4: just wait a second. You don't have to get right
- 9:09Speaker 4: into the one that I just came out of it.
- 9:10Speaker 4: And also if I get in one and you think there's.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Room, that's an unspoken rule each segment.
- 9:15Speaker 1: One person didn't know that.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Thank you, that turns into your bubble. Okay, how did
- 9:22Speaker 2: you deal with an How did you do an escalator?
- 9:24Speaker 4: Because there's very very specific rules in New York City
- 9:26Speaker 4: with an escalator there, or like when you're walking, like
- 9:29Speaker 4: there's a different lanes, like there's a standing lean on
- 9:31Speaker 4: the escalator, and then there's.
- 9:32Speaker 1: A walking bad because we drive on obviously the other
- 9:35Speaker 1: side of the road over here, so this is where
- 9:38Speaker 1: I hang and that's no. It's like, no, that's line,
- 9:40Speaker 1: get the hell out of my way.
- 9:43Speaker 2: So do you hate it?
- 9:44Speaker 5: Like when people going over to New York and they're like, hey,
- 9:47Speaker 5: Yea'm walking.
- 9:49Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, I hate it a lot, hate it a lot.
- 9:51Speaker 4: I just feel like, just don't like, like, listen, we
- 9:54Speaker 4: love tourists and helps keep this whole city going, but
- 9:56Speaker 4: like I just feel like, try to be be a tourist,
- 9:58Speaker 4: but be as us taurus as you can't.
- 10:01Speaker 3: Does no one over there say hey, I'm walking here.
- 10:05Speaker 2: No, not unless they're trying to get like, like punched
- 10:08Speaker 2: in the face.
- 10:11Speaker 4: Don't do don't do a New York accent to a
- 10:13Speaker 4: New Yorker unless it's really so.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Maybe the Italians aren't saying mama me or all the
- 10:17Speaker 3: time as well, mom me.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Okay, this is very really we've got rid of some
- 10:27Speaker 2: stereotypes today.
- 10:28Speaker 1: That's great. How are you, lovely?
- 10:29Speaker 2: Catching up? You getting the cold?
- 10:30Speaker 3: Well?
- 10:30Speaker 1: That was speaking next week.
