24
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: We went to middle school and high school together. We

25
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: went different ways in college. In elementary school, I went

26
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: to like a different elementary school. I went to Catholic school.

27
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: And you stayed in touch your whole life.

28
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah somehow? Okay.

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 5: Halfway through Meg moved to Boca and I was in

30
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 5: school in Miami, so like we were connected again there,

31
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 5: and then I ended up moving to New York.

32
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went to Penn State, but I hated the

33
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: farm life, so I dropped out and then started working instead.

34
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Oh you did? What did you start working as?

35
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: So?

36
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: After I dropped out of Penn State, I moved to

37
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: Florida did real estate for a little bit.

38
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: Then I came up to New York and worked in

39
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 3: wealth management.

40
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: And that's why I live in Fidya because I would

41
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: commute to work from here. And during the pandemic, when

42
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: we were working from home, I was just posting content

43
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,639
Speaker 1: and like me and Audrey joined forces and started posting

44
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: content from New York and Miami and here we are.

45
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: Somehow we turned it into a full time gig.

46
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: What made you join forces? And what made you get

47
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 4: into the food review space? So the vip list these

48
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: are two girls, their friends, lifelong friends. I found them

49
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: from doing irreverent, unapologetic, sometimes savage food reviews with a

50
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 4: humorous twist and lingo and like tag phrases like go

51
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 4: cry about it and you're you know?

52
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 2: So how did this get started?

53
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: So basically, Meg posted a video on TikTok.

54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 5: We would FaceTime every day because we were both just

55
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 5: so bored during the pandemic, and Meg posted a video

56
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 5: of a review of Marquee and that video got ten

57
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: k views, and she calls me. She's like, oh my god,

58
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: going viral, Like we need to do something with this.

59
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: So I had a bunch of.

60
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 5: Contents and we're like, oh my god, this is huge,

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 5: like we're gonna be famous, like this is everything. So

62
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 5: we both had a bunch of content from before everything

63
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: shut down. So I had a bunch of content from Miami.

64
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 5: She had a bunch from New York. And we had

65
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 5: both always loved like going out to eat, and a

66
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 5: lot of it was partying to at first, like we

67
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 5: were doing club reviews. So we just started posting that content,

68
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 5: and then once we ran out of that, we did

69
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 5: take out reviews.

70
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: Oh wait, wait, wait, why did you have content? Like

71
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 4: what were you thinking you were doing? Like where was

72
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 4: the content? Just living?

73
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: We were just posting on Snapchat all the time before

74
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: the world of lockdown, Like we had so many videos

75
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: that we would take at the club or at restaurant.

76
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: I through with interning for Dave Grutman at the time

77
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: before everything shut down, so she had.

78
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: You guys, Dave Grutman owned all the major like hip

79
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: spots in Miami. He's like a nightclub impressario in Miami.

80
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: So she was working for Dave Grutman. Okay, so you

81
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: had access to the cool places.

82
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I was part of my internship was taking

83
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: content at the restaurants and clubs, so I had so

84
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 5: much saved just in my camera roll. The we just

85
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 5: were posting, and we also both just loved going out

86
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 5: to eat and were always documenting everything anyways, So I think.

87
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: The takeout were usually blew and stuff though, because at

88
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: the time, no one was going out to the restaurants

89
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: that everyone was ordering in and they didn't know where

90
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: to order from, so we would just really we took

91
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: it upon ourselves to order it out every single day

92
00:03:58,680 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: and just.

93
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: Tell people where to eat, where to get their foods.

94
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: Up and is it Are you writing it all off

95
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: now when you're ordering, when you're posting about it.

96
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

97
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Oh yeah, yeah, we have an LLC, so yeah,

98
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: everything goes through that.

99
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: Okay, So what popped it off? I think our art

100
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: to Choke. We we roasted artichoke pizza during the pandemic.

101
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: It got like six million views and me gained like

102
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand followers from that one video.

103
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: You're saying you roasted it was bad Arto choke, but

104
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: you say, yeah, you said it was bad.

105
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 5: I made it sober unfortunately, and uh, we were like,

106
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: I don't know how I ever enjoyed this.

107
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 4: And it got because it was growing because it was

108
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: like slop like cheesus.

109
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it was just straight yeah exactly.

00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: Oh and so you roasted that and then you were

111
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 4: like okay, and then you led with the irreverent yeah.

112
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: And then people started like parodying us, like the way

113
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: we spoke, and they were getting a lot of views,

114
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: and we're like, okay, like, if they're parroting us and

115
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: getting more views, why don't we just start saying the

116
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: most unhinged stuff possible and get the views ourselves.

117
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: So we just started doing that and here we are.

118
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: So who's the saying, go cry about it? Which one

00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 5: doing the voiceover and writing the scripts pretty much just

123
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 5: like every other restaurant.

124
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:11,599

Speaker 4: Okay, so when did you Who's who bankrolled all this

126
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 4: to begin with? Do you come from money? It sounds

127
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 4: like you come from the suburbs of Philadelphia.

128
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: Oh, no, we did not come from money at all.

129
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, it's giving, it's giving a little bit of

130
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: money on the main line of a Philadelphia I'm excited

131
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 4: to hear that it's not really you don't come.

132
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: To money, not at all, like we honestly, like we

133
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: started making more of our parents.

134
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 3: We first started like no, yeah, like yo.

135
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: Like you had a beat up car in high school.

136
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: I didn't even have a car.

137
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: Oh okay, Well, first of all, people should know that story.

138
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 4: I think I don't feel like I feel like I should.

139
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: Somehow in your videos have known that story. I think

140
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: that's very uh, you know, because when I see the videos,

141
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 4: you guys seem like two rich girls out like with

142
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: a credit card getting meals.

143
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: Oh I know, we really try to make it look

144
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: that way.

145
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: But no, we come from nothing, like honestly, we still

146
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: like our hustling and making it like to make ends meet,

147
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: like we because we pay for all of our reviews.

148
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: So it is a struggle. Like for the first year

149
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: I was working two jobs to try to finance the food.

150
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: And literally everything we make is put back into the

151
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: business and put back into the content.

152
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: Like right now, like, we're definitely not rich.

153
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: Yeah wow wow, okay, so you so when did you start?

154
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: So how were you financing this?

155
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: The whole way?

156
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: We literally any money.

157
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 5: I was working as a hostess in little Italy, but

158
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 5: literally every dollar we made we put back into the business,

159
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 5: like literally into content, into reviews. And then we started

160
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 5: working with brands like pretty early on because we were like.

161
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 3: We need to figure out a way to make this work.

162
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: So we started social media management too, like we were

163
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: like finding any way to make money.

164
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 2: Smart.

165
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we managed like three different restaurants social media to

166
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: make it work.

167
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: Once I left my job, we did restaurant consulting.

168
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 5: Whatever the I don't know if it allowed us to

169
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 5: do that, To think that we happened in that.

170
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: Way, you could, you could. Wait, I think you could.

171
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: You know your shit. Wait, but you don't do the

172
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,119
Speaker 2: social media management anymore.

173
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 5: You can't.

174
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: You don't have enough time.

175
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 5: No, it's so time consuming, especially when you're trying to

176
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 5: run your own page as well. It's like we just

177
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 5: did not have the time for it. So we that

178
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 5: ship sailed.

179
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: Okay, So now you're supporting yourselves. Each of you can

180
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: support yourselves in a good way, in a fine, way

181
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: do you still feel like you're broke?

182
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: Like what is it?

183
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 5: I mean it has its ties and lows for sure,

184
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: Like certain seasons like summer is a pretty slow season,

185
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 5: and like the dead of winter is slow too.

186
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 3: But then you'll get like a huge deal that.

187
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 5: You kind of just like have to save up and

188
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: just account for the times where you don't have like

189
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 5: everything coming in at once because it's very inconsistent.

190
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: Well first of all your advice to other people. But

191
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: we can get there through what we're talking about. So

192
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: you're unapologetic. So you, for example, you started to get

193
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: adding more and more bitchy and like go cry about it,

194
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: and you're a peasant. If you're a peasant. If you

195
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 4: can't afford truffle carbonara, then you are a peasant and

196
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 4: don't deserve to be in my I mean you really

197
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: all the way and you must have when you were

198
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: bridging that like that arc gotten a lot of hate.

199
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: Oh we still get a lot of hate. Yeah, we

200
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: get a lot.

201
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: We get a lot of hate because we have had

202
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people, like people started making videos with

203
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Viatine talking Mary Antoinette, like because we're using the word peasant,

204
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: Like people get really mad, But honestly, it's a joke

205
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: and we now like play into it and try to

206
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: make people as mad as possible because it upset our engagement.

207
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let's talk about the apps because for me

208
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: the first time in the beginning, you guys, would you

209
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 4: say that you have your primary residence and TikTok and

210
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 4: you have a secondary residence on Instagram like you you

211
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: live in TikTok.

212
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: You like what I would say, we make more money

213
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 1: off of Instagram, which is so.

214
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 4: Weird from viewser from brand deals, from brand deals. Okay,

215
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 4: well that is interesting and it's a different person. We

216
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 4: can tell people who the different people are because I

217
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: have my opinion and you of yours. I have a

218
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 4: I have a residence that I've had in Instagram for years.

219
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 2: That's a solid residence.

220
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 4: But I have like a big, new money, flashy Cashi

221
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: house and TikTok and understand that neighborhood really well, Like

222
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 4: I vibe with that neighborhood very well.

223
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: And it's my opinion.

224
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: You guys can correct me or confirm my opinion is

225
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: that TikTok is like really like it's a universe, it's

226
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: a planet, and you have to really live in there

227
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: to understand what the people are like, and you'll be

228
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 4: friends with different types of aliens like in the Star

229
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 4: Wars bar that like when people wouldn't think you're friends

230
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 4: with and you genuinely respect them and vice versa.

231
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: And it literally is a community.

232
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 4: Instagram is more of like a department store that has

233
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 4: different departments and different windows, and like you can really

234
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 4: piss people off, and the moms live very deeply in

235
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: Instagram and they will come for you for things that

236
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 4: you would get away with on TikTok, having a sense

237
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 4: of humor, Like Instagram is more like network television, and

238
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 4: TikTok is like some you know, cable network that lets

239
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 4: you get away with so much more.

240
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: What do you think?

241
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 3: I totally agree. I think TikTok's for oversharing.

242
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: People put all their mental illness, all their unhinged over

243
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 1: sharing stories on there. Where are Instagram It's all like, oh,

244
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: I was on this boat the other day, I'm at

245
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: this restaurant now, Like you don't really get a lot

246
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: of personality from Instagram. With reels, it's getting there, but

247
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: still TikTok is.

248
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: Definitely it's a loony It's a looney bit.

249
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, we get hate on both though, Like we get

250
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 5: hate in our Instagram dms, we get hate comments every

251
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 5: day on TikTok.

252
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 3: I think we get more hate on TikTok honestly.

253
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I feel like for our Instagram following, it's

254
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: a little bit like our demographics are a little bit older,

255
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: so they understand our humor a little bit more, yeah,

256
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: versus like TikTok. Like when we call someone a peasant

257
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: or say someone's poor, they get so offended they actually

258
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: get really mad.

259
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, two questions.

260
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: One don't answer right away, but one is do brands

261
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 4: fully get it? Or do you turn off some brands

262
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: because they're scaredy cats? And two, I would say it

263
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: takes a lot.

264
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: It took me.

265
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 4: I'm much older than you, and I realized when I

266
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: did the Rachel Levis interview and the views were blowing

267
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 4: up everywhere. I was being trashed on five hundred accounts

268
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 4: and I didn't know I was in the upside down

269
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: because I thought it was bad. But the trolls are good.

270
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 4: There are entire pages about hating me. To your point,

271
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 4: and like, it was a little rocky in my mind

272
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: because it's non traditional, like it almost. TikTok was the

273
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: first place that for me ever confirmed all press is

274
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: good press, including bad, because I used to really not

275
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 4: believe that, but now, because the world has so much content,

276
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: if they're hating, they're really watching. And that's the Howard

277
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 4: Stern model. Howard Stern. There was a part in that

278
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 4: movie Private Parts where they were saying that he's getting

279
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: their good death threats and the stations want to shut

280
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 4: him down and whatever, but they did, they got data

281
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 4: and the people that hated him were watching twice as long.

282
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 3: Exactly. The haters make you famous. That's a fact.

283
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 2: Okay, so so true. We have a lot of those.

284
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 5: I feel like we have a lot of people who

285
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 5: hate watch our content and who don't even follow us.

286
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 5: Like a lot of people will literally just like see

287
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 5: our videos in common het and like they're commenting on

288
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 5: multiple videos, but a lot of them don't follow us.

289
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: And people even meet us in person and they're like,

290
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: I hate you, but I still want to say hi.

291
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: We're like, okay, well I agree.

292
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 2: On Housewives.

293
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 4: The thing was if you love, if you love to

294
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 4: love and you love to hate, it's good. If you

295
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: hate to hate, it's bad because it's like toxic for you.

296
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 4: If you hate to hate something, it's bad. It's like

297
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 4: when when a Housewives show goes like dirty and bad

298
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: and it's like you feel gross watching. But when you

299
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 4: love to hate, it's like a good villain. It's like

300
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: a good you know, Dynasty villain or some show. So

301
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 4: I think that you guys have captured that, but you

302
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: double down. And this is where I really saw it.

303
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: So you guys talked about a restaurant in the Hampton's

304
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 4: y Mavericks, which is definitely your biggest fame moment that

305
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: you've had, like mainstream media fame. Yes, And and because

306
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 4: I know even like you know, my friend Steve co

307
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 4: and his wife Alex Uh, you know, they own the

308
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 4: Mets and they're you know, billionaires. And she said to me,

309
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: oh yeah about those girls, you know, like she read

310
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: about it because it was in the post. So you're

311
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 4: famous in that way. And what I thought was interesting

312
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: was you guys are young girls. This is like an

313
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: you know, a restaurant, and they took the bait, which

314
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 4: was stupid. They draw drew more attention to it. No

315
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 4: one would have.

316
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: Even known, Like they don't need to make a.

317
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 4: Comment about you two TikTok girls respectfully, they don't need

318
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: to make a comment, you know what I mean, Like even.

319
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: You were with you the next day, Like we went

320
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 1: to Mavericks night before. Remember we told you we had

321
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: a really expensive dinner at the DSW.

322
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

323
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: Then so they took the bait, which is the dumbest thing,

324
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,119
Speaker 4: because I'll tell you that this is a lesson in media.

325
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: So I have a friend who's very famous and was

326
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: on and is a very successful person, you know, made

327
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 4: like millions and millions of dollars a year on TV.

328
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 4: And he called me the other day and he goes,

329
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: I need your advice, and he said, I'm being killed

330
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 4: for this thing that I said, and it got a

331
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 4: million views on TikTok. I'm like, first of it's not

332
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: even that meant, don't worry about it. And he's like,

333
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: and it's like now everywhere and it was in the post.

334
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, where's the story. He's like, so should

335
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: I say something? Go what are you trying? It didn't

336
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: even happen. It didn't even happen. Like it didn't happen.

337
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: Trust me.

338
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 4: It's like poison in the ocean, Like it's gonna get

339
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 4: I go, I've been five things by eight o'clock this morning,

340
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 4: I have.

341
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 2: Literally my day.

342
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: When I ate my I'm canceled five things by not

343
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: literally by eight o'clock this morning, I could read five

344
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: articles about myself. And he goes, well, that's why I

345
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: called you. I go, yeah, it didn't happen. I'll watch it.

346
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 4: It's a set of waves. If it turns into a tsunami,

347
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 4: i'll let you know. But like, it didn't happen, And

348
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 4: he calls me the next day he's like, holy shit,

349
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: it didn't I'm like, yeah, it didn't happen. But that

350
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 4: guy from Mavericks, they made a quote comment about it.

351
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 4: They did with this famous actor, asked my opinion about

352
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: and they took the bait. But then you guys got

353
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: to comment back, and instead of like you getting nervous,

354
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: you doubled down.

355
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: You said go cry about it?

356
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: Yes, who said that?

357
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: Who said that? Who said go cry about it?

358
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: We wrote an official statement because all these tabloids were

359
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: reaching out and they were making up lives saying we

360
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: blackmailed them. Like, first of all, we went with our

361
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: very rich friend who was paying for all of us.

362
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 3: We didn't need free food. We didn't ask for ReFood,

363
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: We didn't tell them we were there. They said, we

364
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: poured a seafood tower on it ourselves, which why would

365
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 3: we why would we do that? Do that right?

366
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: And we just thought that was the best response.

367
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were like, this is a perfect moment to

368
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 5: use our tagline. And also like once they did that

369
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 5: and went to the press about it, the video went

370
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 5: even more viral, Like we were getting so many comments

371
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 5: of people crying from all the different articles.

372
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: So they were accountability on their ends, Like, not once

373
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: did they take accountability for our bad experience. They just

374
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: tried to lie and make up like kind of discredit

375
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: our experience.

376
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: That's why you leaned further in.

377
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: Had they said, you know what, we're new, We're sorry

378
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: they had an unfortunate experience. We'd like to invite there's

379
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 4: a couple of lessons here. Had they said we're sorry

380
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: for this unfortunate experience, we'd like to invite them back

381
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 4: in Yes, and you know we're so, you would have doubled,

382
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 4: You would have backed down. You had said this is amazing,

383
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: thank you, it's a beautiful restaurant. You would have done

384
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 4: what you did a topp and rose. You would have

385
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: done that because you would have been like yeah, but

386
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 4: they doubled down, and you doubled down.

387
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they just lied, they blatantly lied.

388
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 5: So we're like, okay, like pull up their seats, show

389
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 5: us the video footage of us pushing the tower and

390
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: blackmailing the waiter. And they never did because it didn't act.

391
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: It's giving Chanel where I It wasn't about the crime

392
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 4: in the town. Of course, I understand if you want

393
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 4: to give me what you want to say, you need

394
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: an appointment. It was the way I was spoken to

395
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 4: at the front door, which made me feel like a peasant,

396
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: and I did go cry about it in humor, and

397
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 4: Chanelle tripled down double. You know, now I'm synonymous with

398
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 4: the brand Chanel. Now I'm cutting out seas from other

399
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: bags and gluing them on fucking Raffia at nineteen dollars

400
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: DSW bags because now reach out they now you can't

401
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,960

402
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: but I wore a Frauda bag yesterday. I took a

403
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: Raffia DSW bag from that event. I took a prad

404
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: to try and go glued it on, wore it out

405
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 4: with you know, one hundred thousand dollars in jewelry.

406
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: Who gives a fuck?

407
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: Now?

408
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: Now you can't leave now Now Now I'm cutting out

Speaker 4: afford any bag I want. Now I'm using crayons on

412
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 4: my arms bags like now, it's a fucking free period period. Yeah,

413
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 4: game over the game, the my it's my opinion. The

414
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 4: luxury game is going to take a crash.

415
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 3: No, it's crazy and the quality has gone down.

416
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: Like I got anel bag two years ago and it's

417
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: rusted just from wearing it in the rain a few times.

418
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 3: Like listen, it gets taken by crazy on Canal Street,

419
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: Like on Canal Street.

420
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: Through you like these things, swarm, find out what it's worth.

421
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 4: If it's worth a couple of hundred dollars, cut those

422
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 4: seas at gloom on something else color and make it

423
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: into something go cry about it.

424
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I love it. If the announced series come in,

425
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: I'm here.

426
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: And now can go so worry about it.

427
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 4: Do you have someone who advises you or is it

428
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: the two of you advising each other when these things happen.

429
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: So we had our managers, Emily and Elena.

430
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: They helped so much stright now, like they helped us

431
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: write a whole press release and stuff, because like, honestly,

432
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: us clapping back, we were gonna say like way more

433
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: like unhinged things.

434
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 3: Like we didn't really we want to come for them. Yeah, no, no, no,

435
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: that wasn't the way.

436
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

437
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 3: They they really helped us.

438
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: That's what we call overplaying our hand.

439
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was good to have someone in our

440
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: corner being like, no, this is what you have to say.

441
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: You have some professional and do it right. And I

442
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: feel like, honestly the clapback was perfect.

443
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: But did it make you realize that there are always

444
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 4: gonna be wolves at the end of the bed. You

445
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 4: can't drink your own kool aid, can't believe your own bullshit.

446
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 4: You got to like take the temperature. You have to

447
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 4: hold the wheel not too tight, but not let go

448
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 4: of the wheel when things go sideways, because in any

449
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 4: situation like that, it can go sideways.

450
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

451
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And I feel like they really helped us just

452
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 5: come up with the perfect like response that made us

453
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 5: sound just like respectable and like not not too unhinged.

454
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: But also just like yeah, and people, are you are

455
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: you not going to.

456
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: Roast restaurants anymore? Like are you canceled now? But I

457
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: feel like we're always gonna be honest, Like if we

458
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: had a bad experience, we had a bad experience, and

459
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to say that at any restaurant, Like

460
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: it's like you're allowed to speak your mind. And I

461
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: feel like like nowadays, people are really scared to say

462
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: what they think.

463
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: So if we have to do it, we will.

464
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: And yes, to answer your first question, it does affect brands,

465
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: like a lot of brands like are scared to work

466
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: with us because how unhinged we are. But we'd also

467
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: drive traffic, Like when we post a restaurant, a lot

468
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: of people are going to those restaurants for a recommendation.

469
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: People even went to Mavericks to see.

470
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: If yeah we hate watching hate yeah.

471
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: So you know, like we definitely do have an ROI

472
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: of some sorts. Just frends need to start like peeping that.

473
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: So what about.

474
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 4: Top five worst meals, top five best or top three

475
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:17,360
Speaker 4: if it's easy.

476
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh worst, okay, and Mavericks is number one, And just

477
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 3: because the whole yeah, the whole experience was horrible, Bad Roman,

478
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 3: Bad Roman. I wouldn't put Mad Roman number two.

479
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: I put like the Smith at number two, just because

480
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: the food was actually inedible, like.

481
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: Smith like s M Y t HG the hotel, or

482
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: the Smith like in West Village.

483
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: Like the Smith in Nomad, like s M I T

484
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: h by the Sackler family.

485
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: The yeah, what was and what was soboud?

486
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 3: The lotto role came straight out of the Hudson River.

487
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: It literally tasted like that.

488
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: The burger was soggy, horrible service, just nothing tasted good,

489
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: just overall a bad experience.

490
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 4: And again it's channel, So shouldn't they reached out and

491
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 4: been like, let's like take the take the note. Let's

492
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 4: take the note. I went last week to a restaurant

493
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 4: and you know what, I lost the footage, which is

494
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: annoying because the food was crap in the Hampton's and

495
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: I was going to just do it, but I didn't

496
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 4: have the footage, and I it was so savage that

497
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 4: I was I don't want to say I was nervous.

498
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: I just they were smart. The maitre d like reached

499
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 4: out to me because they wanted to give me a

500
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: table for this concert days later, and I started to

501
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: feel a little guilty because I was like, do I

502
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 4: need to just fucking put this guy in the ground

503
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 4: right now? And it wasn't really him, but nobody was

504
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 4: there minding the restaurant, and aren't we meeting you? And

505
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 4: I for the people, it's about the people coming out

506
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: here that want to have an experience and they're going

507
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 4: to go spend their money on this shit meal you

508
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 4: know where if you're saying Mavericks and I'm saying this place.

509
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: Exactly, that's why we do it. But people are like,

510
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: don't you feel bad? Yeah, like, don't you feel bad

511
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: roasting a restaurant? But it's like, I feel bad for

512
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: our followers. We're plulling up to a meal and paying

513
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars not getting what they want.

514
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 4: I feel bad for fifty dollars. I feel offended when

515
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: I have a bad meal. Offended, Like I get angry.

516
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 4: I'm like, I wasted a meal. It's like wasting an

517
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 4: outfit with a bad date exactly.

518
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, And especially for our followers who are like using

519
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 5: our recommendations for that one day a year, like that's

520
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 5: worth say, when they're going out for a celebration and

521
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 5: it's like no, that's why we do it, like for those.

522
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 2: People, That's what I'm saying.

523
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 4: Okay, So so Smith didn't reach out dumb on them.

524
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: So you got two, what's three bad?

525
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: I hate to say.

526
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to hate from the Lady Gaga fan base,

527
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: but her family's restaurant was was your bands.

528
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: I went there once and I love Gaga, but the

529
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 4: restaurant wasn't good either. It was we went there in

530
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 4: the Housewives. Yeah, well, because it's not her restaurant's and

531
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean her restaurant be good either. I mean

532
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: it's not her makeup line, she's not invested in. It's

533
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 4: somebody in her family. Yeah, so that you can't hang

534
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 4: in New York City. If you can't hang like, it's

535
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 4: serious there.

536
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 1: And that's why we also don't feel bad because it's like,

537
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: if you're going to be prding, these prices come correct,

538
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: Like if you're opening a restaurant in New York City,

539
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: it has to be good or else you're not gonna last.

540
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 4: Like it's not simple, it's the most hard, it's the

541
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 4: most difficult business. And the fact that this Greek place

542
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: here in the Hamptons didn't have anybody there that was

543
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: a grown up like managing the place.

544
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

545
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: When Yeah, because hospitality can also like make a break

546
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: and any experience as well, like if it's like a

547
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: horrible time, but they're actually like taking accountability and being nice,

548
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,719
Speaker 1: maybe offering like a free dessert or something for your trouble,

549
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: like that always helps.

550
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 4: I feel like, right, okay, so what about I'll tell

551
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 4: you it was annoying that happened to me. I went

552
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 4: to a restaurant out here that I literally raved about.

553
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 4: So the owner sends me some stuff, but they wanted

554
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 4: to promote some stuff. They had like a product line

555
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 4: right to my house. Okay, so now I've got like

556
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 4: which I get stuff you could imagine all the time.

557
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 4: So I went back in there and they were kind

558
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 4: of like over being at my table and talking and

559
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 4: doting and like pushing desserts and all these things. And

560
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 4: Britain was like, I feel like we're working, and I

561
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 4: believe that they should have covered my bill because it

562
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 4: didn't feel like a normal meal, Like I felt like

563
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 4: I was like I had to sift wait for the

564
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 4: dessert because I.

565
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: Knew I was filming.

566
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 4: Like I didn't like the feeling because it was like

567
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 4: I want to come in here as Jen Pop and

568
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 4: just pay for my bill and not have anybody up

569
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: my ass. Yeah, or I want you to pay for

570
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: my bill and then you're up my ass, Like I

571
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 4: don't want to do a mixture of both that make

572
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 4: any sense.

573
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally.

574
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

575
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: So they were on your dick and getting a compet.

576
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 4: Right, if you're gonna be on my dick, you're gonna pay.

577
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 4: You're gonna pay me to be on my dick.

578
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

579
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 5: No, I totally agree with that because it changes the

580
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: entire experience. I know, they're like watching you the whole time.

581
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: One hundred and it was like Kai and how is

582
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: it is?

583
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: Three people? And it was like, leave me the fuck alone,

584
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: or pay for my bill. If I'm working, I'm working.

585
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 4: It's like I'm a hooker, I'm a hooker. If I'm

586
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 4: a civilian, I'm a civilian. I really don't need to

587
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: like blow you and also pay for my meal.

588
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

589
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: That's what I don't like, because they'll come around with

590
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: these things they film this film and I'm like, no,

591
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: like are like, it's like, even.

592
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: If you're giving it for a free, you should be

593
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: paying me to do this. No.

594
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: Ken Restaurants know, a free dessert does not count. We

595
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 2: don't care.

596
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, a free dessert or someone sent over a drink,

597
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 4: I mean out of water that that doesn't count.

598
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: You don't.

599
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 4: It's not a Maya kopa. You sent me a drink

600
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 4: and you gave me a free dessert. You want to

601
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: sleep together, I'd like the whole airmes bag and the

602
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 4: trip and the carts and from I really don't need. Yeah,

603
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 4: I don't need a half fudge Sunday and I'm gonna like,

604
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 4: you're gonna have all my you know, all my attention.

605
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: Literally, that's so true.

606
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 4: Right, So that was worse three? What were best three?

607
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 4: And this is New York City? We could do the

608
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 4: Hamptons if you want.

609
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 2: What were Yeah?

610
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: Poor Child is probably my favorite. Poor Chile's probably my

611
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: favorite restaurant to go to. It's like impossible to get in,

612
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: so maybe that affects how how did it taste?

613
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 3: But it's still the best burger I've ever had.

614
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 4: Like I need to go, and I have to go

615
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 4: buy it on that reservation site because I always decided

616
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 4: last minute, and I'm gonna I'll go at five o'clock,

617
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 4: but I heard it's open at lunch too.

618
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: No, I don't know if it's open at lunch, but

619
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: I do know that you can get the burger for takeout.

620
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: Yea take on that. It was seventy dollars and it

621
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 3: honestly was worth it.

622
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 4: Wow, all right, I'm doing that next time with Brin.

623
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 4: So that's your number one. What's your number two?

624
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 3: I would say Terese or Jean George.

625
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 5: I was gonna say just for the overall experience too,

626
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 5: Like the food is amazing, the hospitality is amazing, and

627
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 5: you can just tell that everyone who works the genuinely

628
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 5: loves their job and like wants to be there, which

629
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 5: makes such a difference because if the staff is miserable,

630
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 5: it just changes the whole vibe you're talking about.

631
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 4: I saw you post about there was like foam and

632
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 4: interesting things, and it was on the Upper East Side.

633
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: You're talking about like sixties that right outside.

634
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the flagship Jean George.

635
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: Okay, So I have news for you.

636
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 4: This is a good business piece of advice and just

637
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 4: information for people. So you're saying that gen George was good.

638
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 4: So the Jean George restaurant, you guys posted nicely about

639
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 4: Topping Rows, but I think they saw you coming and

640
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 4: topping Roase is good. I'm not going to say it's amazing.

641
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 4: I'll say it's a solid seven. It's a New York.

642
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: City Hampton's, though, I feel like, but it's definitely one

643
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 1: of the top ones.

644
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 4: I'll tell you the top ones. And it's a Hampton's.

645
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 4: Maybe it's a seven to seventy five for the Hampton's

646
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: and New York City be a seven. But John George's

647
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: restaurant and Pound Ridge is inedible. It's like bad gay. Yeah,

648
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 4: but what's the restaurant. It's called the Inn a pound

649
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 4: Ridge because it's just got his name stamped on, and

650
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 4: people need to be mindful of name stamped doesn't mean

651
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: it's the same as the original. So you could be

652
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 4: in a Vegas version of the New York City one

653
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 4: and it might not be as good in restaurants, so

654
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: people have to know the location. So you're talking about

655
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 4: the flagship location of Jean George.

656
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the original.

657
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, like his brother runs the whole like his brother,
