1
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about a couple of things. One is New

2
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: York City. I told you guys about getting hit in

3
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: the face, and David Spade and Dana Carvey invited me

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: on their podcast. I had been asked by I think

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: Don Lemon and different people some other news network to

6
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: talk about it, and I just didn't feel like talking

7
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: about it. But because it's David Spade, who I love,

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: and Dana Carvey, who I admire, and you know, you

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: guys know I love comics, I went on their podcast

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: together to talk about New York and it got into

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: a conversation about New York crime. It was initially going

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: to be about me and getting hit in the face,

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: which was a trend or is a trend, and we

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: started talking about New York crime, and it led me

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: to a whole thought process and conversation with David about

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: a few things I mentioned on his podcast. And no

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: shade to Jerry Seinfeld, who I think is great but

18
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: a man when the pandemic started, said New York is dead.

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: And Jerry Seinfeld got personally triggered and annoyed and wrote

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: an open letter and I forgot I think it was

21
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: in the New York Times and basically criticizing this guy

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: and saying he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: New York is not dead, and we're New Yorkers and

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: we're survivors and we're fighters and whatever, and that's true,

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: but New York is kind of dead. And like I

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: was talking to you know, I've been talking about like

27
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: several New Yorker New Yorkers, and I bought an apartment

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: in New York. So believe me, it's not like I

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: don't want this to be the opposite. And it sounds

30
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: like I'm a hater and I'm not being but it's

31
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: taken a real beating. And that guy who wrote that

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: article was right in his prophecy, and Jerry Seinfeld was

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: wrong and saying like it's not dead. I mean, Jerry

34
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: Seinfeld's right too in saying that New Yorkers are survivors

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: and fighters, but like it's a shit show right now.

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: And so I was talking today to my publicist and

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: her friend knew someone who has held at gunpoint at

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: Duncan Donuts. My daughter's friend was held at gunpoint at

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: Duncan Donuts. Coincidentally, my same friend knew someone who got

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: hit in the head with a face of a brick

41
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: by a homeless person in New York City. I described

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: being hit in the face. A lot of women are

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: describing that, and my publicist was saying that now she

44
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: walks and is always on her phone on the street,

45
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: and now she's like always worried, so like everyone's on alert.

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: And that was something that Dana Carvey brought up, like

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: regardless of whether something does happen, has happened, or is

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: going to happen, we feel like it's going to happen.

49
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: We are walking around heightened. And I was actually at

50
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: a drug store in Miami last week. I don't know

51
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: if it's as bad. I'm sure it's not great, because

52
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: crime is bad in many places, many cities, but I

53
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: was in Walgreens just every person that came anywhere close

54
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: to me I felt was a threat, Like I just

55
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: I didn't want to be And I just think about

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: my daughter walking up and down the aisles of CBS

57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: and thinking life is normal, and it freaks me out

58
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: because I was also talking about the fact that everything's

59
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: behind a cage. Like if you go into New York

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: City and you want to get something very basic, it

61
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: could be miscoua it could be like lotion, cheap lotion, anything, toothpaste,

62
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: and there's some things that are not locked up, and

63
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: you're wondering why those things aren't locked up because maybe

64
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: sometimes they're more expensive. It's just like a random thing,

65
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: or there are things that are easy for people to steal.

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, but easily eighty percent of what I'm

67
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: looking for is locked up in the store. So the

68
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: thing is that the system is Fredo. Fredo's the character

69
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: and the godfather that had no respect, Like the system

70
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: is not respected. And then you go one layer deeper

71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: and you're talking about this and you're saying things like

72
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: which I said on his podcast. When Juliani was in office,

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: it was the not fucking around Crew, and for whatever reason,

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: whatever he specifically did, the crime was down. And I

75
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: don't really I was young then and I don't remember,

76
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: but I know that that was the general sentiment, and

77
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: that years before that, New York had been pretty grim.

78
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: In the seventies, New York were scary, Like New York

79
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: City was a scary place, and we're kind of there

80
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: now and we need the not fucking round Crew, which

81
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with politics. So someone's gotta get

82
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: in the fucking mix and change this shit, because it's

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: not a joke. The system is not respected. If you go,

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: if you know, you could just walk in and steal

85
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: whatever you want because you know that there are no consequences.

86
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: Put your kids in a school where there are no rules.

87
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: Put your kids in a college, a preschool, any grade

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: and there are no rules because you could get away

89
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: with anything, do drugs, steal something, do whatever you want.

90
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: You're not getting caught, You're not getting in trouble. It's

91
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: not gonna go that great. Last week, I was in

92
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Miami and it was taking twenty minutes. I was trying

93
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: to get into my eyelash error, which was a big failure,

94
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: and I wanted to put on eyelashes, and I wanted

95
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: to put on fake eyelashes, and I had fake eyelashes,

96
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: I think in my bag or I'm I no, I

97
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: know exactly what happened. The fake eyelashes were locked up

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: unlike this thing, like it wasn't the cage, but like

99
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: they were, and I rang and I asked somebody, and

100
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: it was like fifteen minutes later just to get the

101
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: fucking eyelashes off right, So what did I do? It

102
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: was in a paper like you know that little circle

103
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: that hangs on the hook. I ripped open the paper,

104
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: took the lashes off, and ripped open the glue thing

105
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: and took them up to the counter to pay for them,

106
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: like they were out of there. They were like the

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: package was ripped and then went up to pay. It's

108
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: harder to pay than it is to steal. That's fucked up,

109
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: so something has to be done. New York is not

110
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: the same New York is in a way dead. So

111
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: that article was correct. Like what they meant was new

112
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: York is dead as we know it, and it is

113
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: a shell of its former self. It is not the

114
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: same new York. She is suffering, and she needs help,

115
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: and somebody needs to get involved, and somebody. We need

116
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: the not fucking around crew. Now, I am my daughter

117
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: anywhere she is like, wait a minute, had you get there?

118
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: What time is it was a dark did? Like wait

119
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: a minute? No? I sent her every story to the

120
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: point where I'm annoying. I'm like, no, this person just

121
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: got I don't you don't want to scare your kids,

122
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: You don't want to freak them out? What do I

123
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: do scare my kid? Freak her out? Like I'm choosing fear.

124
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: I want to instill fear in her because my alternative

125
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: is pain and death, like and crime. So like, this

126
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: is what we're dealing with. The choices of my daughter

127
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: are instill fear or she's walking through the streets of

128
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: Manhattan thinking everything's normal. I don't want this life, and

129
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't want this life for her. I really don't

130
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: want this life for her. I want her out of

131
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 1: the city. I got an apartment there as a necessary evil,

132
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: and I feel no problem saying a necessary evil. But

133
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: the city's not what it used to be in any way,

134
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: shape or form, and I would like whoever the version

135
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: of the Not Fucking Around Crew is. I don't give

136
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: a fuck if it's Mickey Mouse, Donald Dunk or Hello Kitty.

137
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: I just want someone in there that's gonna crack skulls.

138
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: It does not have anything to do with whether you're

139
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: a Democrat or a Republican. If you want to be

140
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: safe and the girl the producer just told me on

141
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: this podcast after I said this, thinking it was too much,

142
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: they said, every single girl in New York City is

143
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: buying a taser. My daughter has has pepper spray, and

144
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: one of those alarm things. She's she had it since

145
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: she was twelve. I just would like to say I

146
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: love Kristen Wig. I've met Kristin Wig, I've texted with

147
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: Kristien Wig. I just love Kristen Wigg. This is just

148
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: a Kristen Wig appreciation post. So this is a kW

149
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: a quap. It sounds like some bad venarial disease. But

150
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: it's a Christen Wig appreciation post. Why because she looks

151
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: better than she ever has. She s had some sort

152
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: of work and this is not a shame and this

153
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: is not a criticism, and this is not anything. Whatever

154
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: she's done, it's been great. She looks fresh, she looks good,

155
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: she's like looks happy, she's aging beautifully, and she looks

156
