7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: I don't do it. I feel weird not looking at

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 2: the menu. I like to go into a restaurant and go,

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 2: all right, niky, here's what I am I'm having.

00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: You guys already know what you're having down to dessert.

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 3: I already know who's sharing what.

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: A strategy, game plan to go into that. In just

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: a second, we'll get into that. We're going to get

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: into that. But let me introduce the world. And there's Danielle,

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: who doesn't like mayonnaise. We're gonna find out how to

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: get around that at lunch today. It also Gandhi, who

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: eats everything except for cinnamon. There's Scottie B who's somewhat

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: particular about many things in life. There's straight Nate, who

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: is so excited for lunch. He's already ready to order

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: three entrees.

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 4: He's gonna take a leftovers.

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: I don't have the cook later.

24
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's exactly, there's no like like you've never done that. Hello.

25
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: And there's Scary who's negotiating with Nate about how they're

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna split dishes. And there's Garrett, who I sort of

27
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: agree with. I'd rather not go online and look at

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: a menu from a restaurant. I want to get there

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: and open the menu and then also ask what the

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: specials are, because that could throw everything off.

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: Right, And don't you feel rush too, Like as soon

32
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: as you know what you want, then the waiter's like, oh,

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: you don't need to look at the menu, what would

34
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: you like? And then you're you're already halfway out the door.

35
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: At that point you could reevaluate. Yeah I know that,

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm the same way. There are a lot

37
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: of people, especially people who are dieting. They want to

38
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: look ahead and see, okay, let me order this and

39
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: then ask them not to put that on it. And

40
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: I get that, But what about you, Gandhi? Do you

41
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: want to surprise when you get there or do you

42
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: want to check out the menu before you I always.

43
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 4: Look at the menu. I get excited to look at

44
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: the menu. I feel like it's like real book before

45
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,279
Speaker 4: the movie, because when you get there, things could change.

46
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: They could have a different venue than what you read online.

47
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 4: And like you said, to specials. But I'm somewhat prepared.

48
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: I know what I'm expecting.

49
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Danielle's looking at that menu.

50
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I am so particular with mayonnaise and fish.

51
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: So when people invite me to dinner, I always have

52
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: to just go because I know I'll find something. I

53
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 3: just have to go. I just want to go on

54
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: there head so that I'm not the pain in the

55
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: ass when I get there, going well, I don't want

56
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: to eat that. I just already know this is what

57
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to have because I already looked and I

58
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: know that's what I can handle.

59
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: So see, you know what you can do. You can

60
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: Chef dan is a good friend of ours. Yeah, you

61
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: can say, hey, I'm the pain in the ass. Here's

62
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: what I don't like, but what do you think I

63
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: should have it? He will immediately come up with something.

64
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 3: I think he already knows I'm a pain in the

65
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: ass from last time, so I think he's used to be.

66
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: See.

67
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: I like to look ahead only because I need to

68
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 5: whittle things down because.

69
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 4: Then you want of the whole menu.

70
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: I like food, I.

71
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 5: Like I like a variety of food. In my older age,

72
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 5: i've to try things and like things that I didn't

73
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 5: think I liked when I was a kid. So now

74
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 5: I'm just going I got to go ahead and like,

75
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: will you split these Let's do these two items, split

76
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 5: this for the table, and then maybe we'll cut an

77
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 5: entree in half. That's where Nate and I were, So

78
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 5: you got to do that ahead of time. Otherwise you

79
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 5: get them angry on the spot because they're waiting for you.

80
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 6: It's Scary's point, and credit to you, Elvis, but this

81
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 6: is a really nice restaurant. So there's a lot of

82
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 6: good things on this menu. It's not like just going

83
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 6: to I don't know, insert place you've been to one

84
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 6: hundred times. Here, right, this is a really good opportunity

85
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 6: a bunch of different things.

86
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: Okay, And I encourage that. But typically if you're not

87
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: hosting the lunch, you probably shouldn't start planning on buying

88
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: things for the table because you're not buying.

89
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 5: Oh that's right, that's rights to do that.

90
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: But Scary is gonna go ahead and run against that one. Well,

91
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: I encourage you. You order whatever you want today. I

92
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: want you.

93
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: To spend your money like that.

94
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: That's your day.

95
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 5: I'm going to try and maybe like Jedi mind trick

96
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: you to ordering something for the table, because it's got

97
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 5: to come from you, not scary.

98
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: Well, you can't Jedi mind trick me because you're already

99
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: setting me up for it now. So there's that.

100
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 6: I will have too fewer cocktails. If I can get

101
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 6: that steak and eggs four.

102
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 7: You can have as many cocks Have I allowed to

103
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 7: put ketchup on stuff?

104
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: You can put ketchup on whatever you want.

105
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 7: Thank you plate.

106
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 4: He turns into a bird when we go out to Ethough,

107
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: and they're just like shrapnel. They're shrapnel all around where

108
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: he eats, whether it's cherry stems or like ice cubes

109
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: that he's picked out of his glass. It is fruit whatever.

110
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 5: True.

111
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to put them in a parakeet cage.

112
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 7: I need one of those things that they put on

113
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 7: the table for the toddlers that sticks down to the table,

114
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 7: so I could just kind of.

115
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Roll it up and we're gonna put a little mirror

116
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, a little water feeder.

117
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 5: Yeah. It this bothers me and this is nobody here

118
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 5: has ever done it. But my group of friends, they've

119
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 5: done it before. When you order something for the table,

120
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 5: like something like a calamari or like a clams of reganata.

121
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 5: The idiot who goes and takes the lemon and starts

122
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 5: squeezing it over the whole plate.

123
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: Just no, they should ask no, don't do that. Don't

124
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: make that decision for me. I don't want lemon on

125
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Min's okay, it's okay, you're right, you're right. Calm down,

126
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: Calm down, Mary, I know it. Clams Casino, that's so selfish.

127
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: Flams Casino and Clams are on. Reganata has like oregano

128
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: and bread crumbs casino and casino and Casino usually has

129
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: maybe a bacon on it, I.

130
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 5: Believe, yes, sorry, yes, bacon, Yeah, the bread crumbs of

131
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 5: the oregonata. But my point is, don't go taking something

132
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: that's for the table and adding an ingredient.

133
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: Point, mate, do we all agree when you hear his point? Damn,

134
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Clams Clams Casino.

135
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: Sounds like one of Scary's friends that he.

136
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Clams because you know, doesn't he own the jet ski company.

137
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: That's Jean. But no, I agree with Scary, Like if

138
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: you love lemon on your clams, then you should not

139
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: spray the whole platter with lemon. You gotta ask around.

140
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

141
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 5: Scotty.

142
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: Hey, Nate, fix your camera here eyes. You look like

Speaker 3: Home Improvement studio, like recording something.

145
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on now, I can't see

00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 3: messed up and all you see is like it's always

00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: on his ball ball.

151
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 7: I don't know why you always pointed giant giant.

152

Speaker 1: Well, they're so giant you can't miss knuckle his pants.

153
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 4: He's said so low in that chair. I don't know

154
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 4: why he looks like like the little kid at the table.

155
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 6: I gotta put my feet on the floor.

156
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: You're like a resident lowrider.

157
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: I wonder if that would make a difference for me,

158
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 4: like skoop one down.

159
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: Well, I'm excited because you know our friend Abby, who's

160
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: the newest member of our family. She's going to be

161
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: joining us today, and uh, I like her a lot.

162
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: I know she's not here listening to us. I think

163
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: she's great, she's fun, she's smart, she's a she's a

164
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: smart person. It's good to have her own step. It's

165
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,799
Speaker 1: nice to have a smart person.

166
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: What are you done, Ghandi?

167
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

168
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: Well? I just wanted to see because okay, so my life,

169
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 4: we're looking at your I'm a short person, so my

170
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 4: leg's dangle if I am up too high. And Nate

171
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 4: just said he put his feet on the floor. I

172
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: always use this speaker over here to my right, so

173
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 4: I was just seeing if I put it down, but

174
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: they still kind of dangle.

175
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: There's one problem though, what you're playing to the zoom camera.

176
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 5: But the people that are watching.

177
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: Are getting very different.

178
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 5: Just get your barely your head of making it above

179
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 5: the laptop.

180
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: I forgot. We have way too many cameras.

181
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: This is my stand. I'm taking a stand.

182
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Hey's kind of exciting. Uh. Scottie B who is gosh?

183
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: You know what? He is opening his mind more and

184
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: more of these days. He actually went to an Indian

185
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: grocery store yesterday. Of course he sent you a text, Gandhi.

186
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: How was that interaction?

187
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: You know, Scotty likes to needle me and just be

188
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: an idiot, and he's like Hey, I'm going to the

189
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: Indian grocery store. You need me to fletch you any groceries?

190
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: And I was like, you know what's not? In fact,

191
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: I do, and now I have snacks stup. A little

192
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 4: joke turned into me having smokes us nice, but Scotty

193
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: trying to find thosemosas was like, I couldn't even tell.

194
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: He sent me probably five texts and then called me,

195
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: where are they? How do I make them?

196
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Do? I? Wait, hold on, I didn't know what they were,

197
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: not you, I didn't. I didn't know what they were.

198
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 7: I didn't know what they were, so I didn't know

199
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 7: what department to go.

200
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, I said, just ask someone. I'm sure

201
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: they'll tell you. And he said, are you sure it's

202
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: not something dirty you're sending me to get?

203
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: I was like, that was tricky me.

204
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 7: It was like some kind of lube or something you

205
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 7: never heard of never never sounds like a drained lube,

206
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 7: Indian lube.

207
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: You look like ziggy peeking over the fence. That's what

208
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: you look like.

209
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: Where's Waldo?

210
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: I think we've just found a solution to me not

211
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 4: wanting to be on camera. Well, well, all we'll.

212
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: Find a way to get that camera.

213
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: He's something big going on here in New York City.

214
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: If you commute into the city or ever coming to

215
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: the city for whatever reason. The congestive congestive heart failure,

216
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: congested heart failure, right, you got this, Come on, we're

217
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: having a little trouble. Congested just stupid chu congestion. Genitalia

218
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: price pricing for driving through the city. They decided not

219
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: to do it. At least it's they say, indefinitely. But

220
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's gonna be debate on this.

221
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: Right I feel like it's going to pop up in

222
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: like November December. It's like, hey, by the way, remember

223
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: what we said, Uh, we're pulling back on that. So

224
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: it just told everything calms down, I believe, right.

225
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 5: Well, what from five am through whenever, entering Manhattan was

226
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 5: going to be fifteen dollars a day extra per vehicle,

227
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: and I that was going to be a burden of

228
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 5: seventy five dollars extra on me.

229
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 6: Over the course of the year three to three, three

230
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 6: thousand and thirty.

231
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 5: Five mins right now. So that's that plus the tolls

232
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: that you pay to come into the city and the

233
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 5: gas and parking for a lot of people that that's.

234
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: A way, like eight hundred dollars.

235
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: It's a lot.

236
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, So this was a big decision and I'm shocked

237
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 5: that they made it, but thank god, a major there

238
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 5: you go. I know this may be selfish to me

239
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 5: to say, but I don't know. I'm a commuter and

240
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: and and that's what I really feel. Strong.

241
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: A lot of people agree with you. Congestion pricing was

242
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: supposed to get rid of congestion, and they're saying that

243
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: on the list of things that it would help are, well,

244
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: there are many other's congestion. There's also air quality, there's

245
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I mean, parking, I mean, there's a million different things

246
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: that are awful about New York City that are caused

247
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: by so many people driving through. And they're thinking this

248
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: will whittle it down and now only people who have

249
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: a billion dollars can drive in the city.

250
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 6: Yeah.

251
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: But of course the list of reasons why they shouldn't

252
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: do it is very, very long.

253
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 3: And I think what would have happened was is that

254
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: the time we went in every morning, we would add

255
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 3: more people driving in because they were still going to

256
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 3: try to beat the system and drive in before the pricing,

257
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: you know.

258
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 6: And the crazy thing is, you know, I mean, all

259
00:10:58,640 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 6: these people say, oh, you know.

260
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 5: You, the MTA needs the money.

261
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 6: I have no problem and named Scottie and I agree

262
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 6: on this. I'm not sure about everybody in the room,

263
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 6: but I have no problem taking public transportation.

264
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish I'll take the train. I will happily

265
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: do that.

266
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 6: The problem is the time we come.

267
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: In there is no option exactly, there's no option.

268
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 4: For us, so we have totally don't want to take

269
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 4: the train. We're all just talking about this all the

270
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: girls like being on that train by yourself is sketchy

271
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 4: at best, Like it is uncomfortable. Weird things have been

272
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 4: happening all the time. People who used to take the

273
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 4: trains all the time don't even want to take the

274
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: trains anymore.

275
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't need that, you don't need that extra stress.

276
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: So you know, there are so many reasons why congestion

277
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: pricing makes sense in some cities. I know London is

278
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: doing it and they have said it's been a huge

279
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: success there. It was met with a lot of controversy,

280
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of people whatever negativity when they

281
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: first did it. But here in New York City, I

282
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: don't take our cities quite ready for that. Plus we

283
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: have so many people in the city who are just

284
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: scratching to make a living and to survive, and.

285
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 2: The city got back post COVID, you know, and then

286
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: it just to be like, hey, get out of here again.

287
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: You know, it's almost they're shoeing us away. I think

288
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: I think it was mayor the mayor of New York City,

289
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: Mayor Dinkins, back in the day, he didn't allow New

290
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 2: York City garbage trucks to be on the road during

291
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: rush hour. I think the same thing needs to apply

292
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: for those eighteen wheelers. Like there's some streets where it's

293
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: like it gets four lanes get cut down to at

294
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: least one because targets dropping off and you know the

295
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 2: other side. So I think the eighteen wheelers should only

296
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: be between twelve to six. I'm running from Mayor by

297
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: the way.

298
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: By the way, you got to balls.

299
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 7: If you drive a big eighteen wheeler in the city.

300
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 7: I envy those guys. I don't know how they do it.

301
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: Well, they do it and they're great drivers. But here's

302
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: what happened during the last mayor's administration. They took away

303
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: lanes and made them bike lanes or just bus only lanes.

304
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: So you take those lanes away, then you're down to

305
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: two lanes or maybe in some situations one. And then

306
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: you have these delivery people who are doing their jobs. Man,

307
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: they need to be able to deliver things, and we

308
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: can't take that away from them. There's nowhere no way

309
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: to get the round around them. And New York City

310
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: is just a mess. It really is. Congestion pricing would

311
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: make it worse.

312
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 6: I think they didn't think it through years ago.

313
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,680
