[Eddie]

20, 26. Exciting. Exciting. Yo, you know what was funny too, was Zoran's inauguration and how people are all big mad about wifey's shoes.

[Natasha]

Her mista boots. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And they were like, they're 600 dol.

[Natasha]

That's crazy to me because I'm like, if my man was getting, first of all, like, you, like, got a job at flower shop to cook. And I was like, I'm about to go buy some $2,000 boots for this night. So, like, that's crazy that people are mad about her 600 boots. The biggest day of her man's life, and she's not going to show out in a fit.

[Eddie]

Yeah. It wasn't even like, knee high crazy. There was, you know, and also, like.

[Natasha]

In this economy with this amount of inflation, $600 to me is the same as $150 at Zara five years ago.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Natasha]

I'm so sorry.

[Eddie]

Like, people have asked me, like, would you ever run for office? Would you ever do this? And now I can definitively say I would never run for office because I don't think I would want to wear a shoe that cost less than $600 to my inauguration. I wouldn't want you in a pair of shoes that is below $600.

[Natasha]

I'd be in some shark boots.

[Eddie]

Shark.

[Natasha]

I'd be in like Givenchy shark boots.

[Eddie]

Need to have a long fucking zipper.

[Natasha]

They would have like. I would have the ones with the diamonds on it too. Just like adding just like I would be. I would be fully. You could never trust me in office. I would be taking taxpayers money and like getting like, you couldn't like don't do it. Because I could not be trusted.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

If you were like working and they were like, oh, there's like, yeah, we just got like 350. Like if there was funds available to me, I would be stealing them and I would be shopping.

[Eddie]

Yeah. The page six would be like, Natasha Wong wears chrome heart's thong to inauguration. $400 underwear 100%.

[Natasha]

I would get a retail fast. I would be ricoed up. Like me all my homies. Like, I would just be me and all my girls.

[Eddie]

Like, yeah, we be at the hookah bar with Eric Adams. No, probably not. I would. You. Yeah, you would.

[Natasha]

I love some shit like that. I would totally be at the hookah bar with Eric Adams. I'd be like, tell me more about the rats, babe. Like, I would be there. I'm sorry, I would.

[Eddie]

I do like Eric Adams as a character, just like a comedic moment in history is unbelievable.

[Natasha]

There's a lot of people that should have just done stand up comedy and Donald Trump is also one of them. Yeah, like he should have just done stand up. He should have just had a reality show like fully. Just like him being him is so fucking funny to me. Not as our president. Like that's scary. But just Eric Adams as a person.

[Eddie]

Incredible. Should my next doc be the Eric Adams documentary?

[Natasha]

Absolutely.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

I recently showed.

[Eddie]

I think that would be incredible.

[Natasha]

I took my mom to the park by our house with our son and there was like some rats or whatever and she was like, oh my God, why are you taking Like I was showing Santa. I'm like, there's rats. Like, he thinks it's cool. Like rats are cool to a toddler. And she was all freaked out. And I was like, well, wait till you hear about the rats in new. Like, wait till you hear about the downtown rats and the uptown rats and how they don't fuck with each other and how midtown Murray Hill is like where you cross the line. And that's a different breed of rat. Do you know about this?

[Eddie]

No, but I did read that Eric Adams, when the snowstorm was coming a couple weeks ago, he goes, al New Yorkers, stay inside. This is baby making weather for the rats.

[Natasha]

Like, he's very much into the rats. So I got my mom into this, like, rabbit hole of rats in New York City, and she was, like, blown away. And. And then so we got really personally in our relationship, got very into Eric Adams talking about the rats. Like, this is, like, very much. We're, like, on this right now because she's, like, exploring the rats for the first time. She had no idea. There's, like, Crips versus Bloods.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's up. Wait, so what did Eric Adams do with the rats?

[Natasha]

He was like, we have a problem with the rats. And he was like, don't. Like, there's too many. This is becoming a problem in our city. Like, the rats. He said something, like, very viral. It was hilarious. He was like, the rats. Like, I'm gonna get them. So he. He's, like, shrunk, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I've seen it a million times. We'll put a clip in. But he, like, shrunk the rat population because it was becoming an issue.

[Eddie]

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Natasha]

Which I think is, like, hilarious to be like, I'm gonna be the mayor of New York City. And, like, the first on the agenda is the rats.

[Eddie]

It's like, so he was successful, I think. All right.

[Natasha]

I think he. I think he helped the situation.

[Eddie]

No, I kind of want to make the Eric Adams documentary when I think about it, because I'm like. It's just like the. This is a once in a generation character. Like, we're never getting another one like him. Not that it was good. You wouldn't want another one like him good.

[Natasha]

But.

[Eddie]

But, like, now that we have had it, like, we should. We should appreciate. Yeah.

[Natasha]

Like, he was vlogging. Like, he was doing a morning, like, get ready with me.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Situation.

[Eddie]

Shutting down hookah bars.

[Natasha]

That's incredible.

[Eddie]

Shot down. Not like, shut down. D'oh. But, like, shut down.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

He was in there.

[Natasha]

Drake being Jamaican, like, shut down.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Skepta. He was like, skepta, shut down up in the hook bars. And then I remember with. With the cannabis laws, he was like, yeah, we're just not going to regulate it. Let's just, like, just open them up, man.

[Natasha]

He was like. He was like, if you're like, homie became the mayor. You know what I mean? Like, it's like your friend's uncle, like, he really was like big un. Like he was like, I don't know, whatever. Like smoke some weed.

[Eddie]

Yeah. He was like, if Terrence Howard was your homie and became mayor, that's really good. He got real.

[Natasha]

You should do the documentary. You should do a mockumentary and Terrence Howard should play Eric Adams and then. Yeah, that would be incredible.

[Eddie]

Yes. We should have the fictional.

[Natasha]

The documentary.

[Eddie]

Like Eric Adams supreme played by terrence Howard.

[Natasha]

Yeah, yeah. 100.

[Eddie]

Eric Adams supreme is our next film.

[Natasha]

Very like Joaquin Phoenix in that, like weird Casey Affleck thing that they did. What was that called? Like, I'm the star now when Joaquin Phoenix is doing like a documentary. But he was.

[Eddie]

Casey Affleck shot it, directed. I forget the name. That was an incredible.

[Natasha]

That. But Terrence Howard is like just going around to people unbeknownst to them, pretending to be Eric Adams. So like Terrence Howard just like at work and he's like, yes, the rats.

[Eddie]

Bring back film like this.

[Natasha]

This is what we need.

[Eddie]

This is what, like, why is there not an Eric Adams?

[Natasha]

Definitely what I want.

[Eddie]

I want it. I need it.

[Natasha]

Yeah. How do you feel about. I love la.

[Eddie]

Oh, I love. I love la.

[Natasha]

So good. Does it make you miss LA at all?

[Eddie]

No, it. I'm. It makes me so assured that we made the right choice to leave la. But I love it because when you're in la, no one wants to laugh at themselves. Like people in LA have an inability to laugh at themselves, the town and like how ass and disingenuous everything is. That show shits on everybody. And it is so prescient. Like it is so clear. It's such a clear eyed look at la.

[Natasha]

To me, I think everybody is so good in that show. Jordan Firstman. I. I just. Like a star has been born. Like we've known that man is a star for a long time, but like a star has truly been born to the masses. We've all known the masses are aware now. And like true. Whitaker is amazing. Rachel Cenot is a fucking genius. Odessa is incredible.

[Eddie]

Like how, you know how Adam Sandler has just been lovable for 30 years and unstoppable.

[Natasha]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Like there was Bill Murray, then there was Adam Sandler. I will say, I think Jordan Firstman is the next in that line and you would not expect it.

[Natasha]

I could see it.

[Eddie]

But he's just so fudgeing lovable and you can put him in anything and he's just going to shred 100%.

[Natasha]

He's lovable being a cunt. Yeah. Like he's so cunty on that show. And I'm still like. I, like, warm. Like, it's like, how did you make being cunty so warm and so lovable and incredible and inviting and, like, I. I just want to, like, be in your. I want to just be around Jordan first man all the time. Yes.

[Eddie]

And he's like, he can be cunty, he's sweet, he's sensitive. But then he's also thugnificent. Like, he'd be thugnificent with the beater on and the, like, shades. And I'm like, yo, you about to.

[Natasha]

Thug some in his ears. Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

And then he, like, grabbing the Christian homies thighs in the car. I'm like, oh, that was a real man move, bro.

[Natasha]

I really love. I love la. I'm very into it right now.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like, I'm not going to be like, you weren't into you. You were tepid about it, I think for two episodes. And then we got deep.

[Natasha]

Yeah. What I needed to do was I have this thing where I think I'm like. I think the more stressful life gets. Like, my ADHD spikes. So I can't, like, if I. If things are, like, really chaotic. And it's not a bad thing. It's just like, we. It was Christmas break and we were with our kid 24 7, and we were all sick and had the flu. And, like, it's Christmas and there's a lot going on. I can't focus. And so if I'm watching, you could literally show me the best movie of all time. Like, if I was in that situation.

[Eddie]

Multiple times, shown you the best movie of all time, you're like, I can't watch this.

[Natasha]

Yeah. Like, you could show me, like, Shawshank Redemption for the first time, and I'd be like, I don't like it. I'm just, like, not available to screen. Like, I'm like, I'm good. I have too much in here.

[Eddie]

I was vigilant about this one. I, like, kept making you watch this shit.

[Natasha]

Yes. We did two episodes in a row. I was like, I'm in. I'm locked in. And then I was, like, mad when we finished the last one, and I was like, ugh, hbo, like, weekly release schedule. Like, now I can't stay up till four in the morning and watch.

[Eddie]

You know what it was for you was in the first few episodes, it's about Rachel Sennett's character Maya, and then Tallulah. Like, they're the two main storylines.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Episodes three, four, five. It gets into Jordan Firstman's storyline in his arc, and I think that's where it really hooked you and, like, kind of hooked everybody, because it gets into Jordan Firstman and then homie from Hunger Games, Dylan.

[Natasha]

Oh, my God. Josh Hutchinson.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Good. So good. And they're like, I love his just, like, cuck energy.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

It's amazing. Like, when they're. If you haven't watched it go away, when they're about to have a threesome, and she's like, I need to text him. And she's like, okay, it's a yes. Like, I was like, I love this. This is so funny.

[Eddie]

Like, yes.

[Natasha]

This is everything to me.

[Eddie]

And it's the way shows should be. Is that the people writing, making acting, they know this world and these characters inside out.

[Natasha]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Like, the inner monologues, the intrusive thoughts, like, as people who lived in that world and had friends. Exactly like this. Or were these people. It's just like, this is it.

[Natasha]

Okay. I want to, like, segue into something, because that was really earnest and, like, amazing. We do love that show. You know how people are like, Adesso Zion's, like, wearing wig, which is, like, cool. She has great hair. Whatever. Wear a wig. Don't wear a wig.

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Natasha]

Should I get a wig? What if I wore, like, you know how I love the Real Housewives of Atlanta?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Natasha]

And there's that woman, Kim Zolciak.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Natasha]

And she was like, white girl wearing a wig in, like, early childhood.

[Eddie]

I was into wig. And. And. And David Cho said this to me, like, 20 years ago, and he was just like, bro, new wig, new girl. And I was like.

[Natasha]

I mean, I think people have been saying that for a really long time.

[Eddie]

That was true. He's.

[Natasha]

He.

[Eddie]

That was the first time I heard it. But I agree. I think it's new hair, new girl.

[Natasha]

Well, we should go to wig shop.

[Eddie]

We need to wig shop.

[Natasha]

We should, like.

[Eddie]

But you should surprise me. You should shop. Like, come out the bathroom like you got a new bitch.

[Natasha]

Okay. Yeah, no, but I'm not going to get, like, a wig. I'm going to get, like. We're going to, like, spend a little coin on the wig.

[Eddie]

No. Spend some coin on the wig, and I'm going to end up like Senna's Jurassic Park Distortus Rex toy. We got him this toy. All right. And when you press the button, we'll insert this. Dude, this toy is literally.

[Natasha]

Literally eating box.

[Eddie]

It just goes.

[Natasha]

It goes like that. And I, like, the first time he said it to me, I was just like, oh, God. Like, I can't even look at this toy anymore. Like, it's freaking me out. And of course, it's his favorite toy. All he does all day is press the button and I'm like, dog this thing. And sometimes they'll like bring it up to me.

[Eddie]

And she's like, get it away. But I'm like, this is such a good toy. It's teaching him already. It's just like, just go hard, man. Go hard. You know, the distort us. Rex is crazy.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But yeah, new wig. Should get a wig.

[Natasha]

I'm into wig.

[Eddie]

I'm in new colors. I like the little Kim wigs, you know.

[Natasha]

Oh, like I should get a Chanel logo.

[Eddie]

You know, I got like Albie square. Mall tastes.

[Natasha]

Yeah. You know, I'm saying I'm into it. I was like, that would be.

[Eddie]

So get a timber high heel.

[Natasha]

You know, I would love that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, get the.

[Natasha]

Get the thigh high Tim.

[Eddie]

Yeah, the thigh high Tim. Like.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Do you work construction mall?

[Natasha]

Yeah, I like that. It's like I'm blue collar with a blue wig with Chanel on the banks.

[Eddie]

Somebody went to Jimmy Jazz.

[Natasha]

I really do think that we're like getting back into, you know how, like everyone's been so, like, chic and like old money and like the road.

[Eddie]

Carolyn Kennedy. Love you.

[Natasha]

I think we're getting back into like a ratchet, like skinny tight jean with a boot and like a fur. Like, that's really all I want to wear these days. Like, I just want to wear a fur with like a very like skin tight black jean with a black thigh high boot.

[Eddie]

If T pain didn't talk about that fit, I don't want to see it right now. You know, I want to see boots with the fur.

[Natasha]

Me too. We got a lot of boots with the fur.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I've been looking.

[Natasha]

You know what's crazy is, like real fur this year. I've always liked a real fur. You know this about me. I've always. I've always had a fur on deck. Living in LA, I had a fur. I'd be out in 60 degree weather with a fur because I was like, you know what, it's January, it might be 60 degrees. I'm gonna put this fur on. Being back in New York, everybody's wearing a real fur. Like, people are out here skinning these animals. Like, PETA is not on anyone's radar anymore. No one gives a fuck. They're like, I'm wearing the mink, I'm wearing the Fox. I'm wearing the coyote. I've never seen vintage.

[Eddie]

There's so much fur that maybe it's all vintage.

[Natasha]

I mean, even if it is vintage, there was a lot. There was many years in New York City, like, I would say, like, a good maybe 10 years where people were like, only wearing faux fur because they were like, even the vintage is unethical. Like, they were like. I don't know, like, people would really be like, I won't even wear a vintage fur. And now it's like the. You cannot. You cannot find a vintage fur. Like, they are being bought up. They used to be able to get a vintage fur for like $200 now, and they're like $1500, depending on what type of fur. It's crazy how that, like, switch just flipped.

[Eddie]

I'm so scared of PETA. I'm not going to comment on this. I'm so scared.

[Natasha]

Like, I'm not saying anything. I'm just observing. I'm observing.

[Eddie]

I'm just observing.

[Natasha]

You're observing. I'm Peter.

[Eddie]

We're observing.

[Natasha]

I've always had a fur because I've had a vintage one. Like, I have not bought in a new. I've not copped brand new fur. But I'm just saying it's used first to see that dynamic switch in New York, like, it's just so crazy to me. I've never seen just gaggles of bitches out in furs like this. It's crazy.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Natasha]

Like, it's like. Like it's giving jungle shit. I'm like, oh, shit, there's a link. There's a Dalmatian.

[Eddie]

Like, the animals from the Bronx Zoo have escaped. I like it.

[Natasha]

It's giving.

[Eddie]

I'm into it.

[Natasha]

Yeah. It's crazy.

[Eddie]

Yeah. No, because fashion's been really boring for probably eight years.

[Natasha]

I wanted to get slutty again.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Like, everybody's so chic and so modest. And I'm like, let's like, I need to see some. Some.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, because from 2016, there's just been this pervasive thought of, like, there is a correct answer.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Everything has a correct answer. We study it, we curate it. It was like the revenge of the nerds. It's been Revenge of the nerds.

[Natasha]

Ready for it to get a little, like, yeah. Borny again.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Like, Timothy Chalamet has gone full early 2000s wigger, you know?

[Natasha]

Like, I know.

[Eddie]

It's so good couture back.

[Natasha]

I love it because it's like, like, I don't know. I'm just like, when did white guys stop doing that? Like, every. I mean, maybe was growing up in Boston, but like, every white dude, I.

[Eddie]

Feel like the last one was Slim Jesus. Slim Jesus was the last great one, you know?

[Natasha]

I don't think I know Slim Jesus.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I have an encyclopedic knowledge of, like, exceptional wiggers, you know, I like.

[Natasha]

I miss the, like, Channing Tatum, you know, I miss.

[Eddie]

With Channing.

[Natasha]

I miss when, like, white dudes used to crump. You know what I'm talking about? Like, white dudes would just be, like, crumping. And I was like. Like, I miss that. I'm like, I haven't seen a white dude crump in.

[Eddie]

Like, there's like, three dudes, four dudes. If, like, they stole my wife, I'd be like, all right, cool. It's Channing Tatum, Tom Hardy, Omar Epps, Javier Bardem. I'd be like, I.

[Natasha]

Fine, okay. Tom Hardy and Javier Bardem are on my Celebrity Crush. Yeah, they are like, top, like, Channing Tatum's hot to me, but, like, he's not like, blow up my life hot. I'm just like, okay.

[Eddie]

But I would understand it if you were like, yo, I left you and Senna for the crumping, dude. You know, I'd be like, here's the thing.

[Natasha]

I like.

[Eddie]

I really like Channing Tatum.

[Natasha]

I like, like, when, like, a guy is, like, doing that, like, crumping or whatever. Like, in. In, like, an artful. In an artful way, but, like, an artful cry. Not that, like, Channing Tatum ever wants to sleep with me. I could never sleep with him because I just, like, would be like, I can't get the vision of you, like, crumping out of my head. Like, that's crazy to me. Like, that is insane. Like, sometimes I'll be scrolling tick tock. It'll be like, these guys like dancing. And I'm like, whoa. Like, there's a generational gap. Because the least attractive thing to me ever is seeing, like, a hot guy do that. Like, it's not unattractive, but it just makes them unfuckable to me. Like, I'm like, you dance good. You are hot. I'm really happy that you dance. Like, that's cool. I like watching you dance. That's awesome. But, like, nope, you have no penis to me now. The second you start crumping, your penis goes away. And then you're just magically like, poof.

[Eddie]

Disappears.

[Natasha]

Smooth Barbie doll bottom. I'm like, I don't. We could scissor, but you don't have a penis to me.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But then it's funny because I feel like once women hit menopause, then they're into dudes.

[Natasha]

Like, oh, totally, 100%.

[Eddie]

It's like once you no longer have eggs, you're into dudes that have no penis.

[Natasha]

This is also an interesting thing because I feel like once I had a. This is going to sound awful. I don't even know if I want to say it.

[Eddie]

We've said 70 million hours of awful things.

[Natasha]

Once I had a child, like once I became a mother, I could never before in my life When I was 19 years old, if I looked at another 20 year old, I was like, gross. Like I can't even like, you're like a child to me. Now I'll see like a young hot boy. Like a 20 year old boy. And I'm like, damn. Like, I'm like, that's why, like I never my life.

[Eddie]

So you understand Epstein's island?

[Natasha]

No, because they're 20 years old, they're not like 16.

[Eddie]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Natasha]

I'll be like, whatever, like Stephen Hawk talk and I'll see like this, like there's like a little like hot boy doing like doing just like the corniest. And I'm just like, okay, that's kind of like now that I'm like a mom. I'm like a predator. Kind of like I'm just like, like I'm a mom. Like I have no business being in these streets. Like, I'm not like getting matcha at Maru, trying to like see what the hot boys are doing. But what I see it, I'm like.

[Eddie]

I, I got to say this too. I'm looking at all the Epstein photos and I understand politicians and policymakers and like mature, like responsible people's outrage to, you know, sex trafficking pedophile. These are all very bad things. These are all really bad. But I also look at a photo of Stephen Hawking and I'm like, if I had a keyboard glued to my neck and I had mad bread and I was a famous scientist, I can understand how he ended up in this situation.

[Natasha]

You know what? I'll give him a break. But I will say one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life was Shira 7, the like sprinkle sprinkle lady. She made a TikTok and she was like, like sometimes women or whatever, she's like on live, she's like, sometimes women will come to me and be like, not all men cheat. Like I have a good man. And she Was like, Stephen Hawking cheated on his girl. Like, you need to get your together and realize that if Stephen Hawking was cheating, like, if that man found a way to cheat, like, your man is cheating.

[Eddie]

That man has a keyboard stuck to his neck straight up and, like, was cheating.

[Natasha]

Like, imagine.

[Eddie]

But yeah, I'm actually stumping for him. I feel like I got his back.

[Natasha]

No, I think truly, like, if Stephen Hawking was cheating, like, just know. I think he discovered quantum physics for the box. Yeah, I think that's why. Yeah, like, he was like, physics. He was like, the universe, the laws of the universe are in.

[Eddie]

I saw that photo and I was just like, standing ovation. My man, you was born with the keyboard glued to your neck, and somehow you ended up that way with some hoes with beach drinks.

[Natasha]

He wasn't born that way.

[Eddie]

He wasn't? No. He didn't come out the book. He didn't come.

[Natasha]

He wasn't disabled. Right. I'll look this up. Standing ovation for Stephen Hawking is crazy. That's crazy. Well, you know what, Chris?

[Eddie]

We will talk this week about whether we keep this segment on Stephen.

[Natasha]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

I just got to let it go.

[Natasha]

This might be buying a paywall. The thing about it is, like, yeah, a lot of it was like, all of it is bad. But, like, I mean, honestly, I don't know. That might be like, the worst thing that's ever happened in the world. Like that honestly. Might be.

[Eddie]

There was a pedophile island. It was bad. It was. Yeah, everyone was involved.

[Natasha]

Was also there.

[Eddie]

And Clinton and Epstein got off some insane silk shirts.

[Natasha]

There was. I just see, like, all the photos. Like, sometimes people are like, this man was like, vlogging it. You know what I mean? Like, why? It's just so funny to me that they were like, yeah, let's like, like, exploit these women and, like, have sex with children, but, like, take a million photos of it. Like, let's just keep taking photos of it. Like, let's just take so many photos of it. It's like giving a camera to a five year old.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Like, there was just pictures of, like, the wall. Like, everything was photographed. I'm like, at what point do you maybe say, like, if I personally, if I'm Bill Clinton and I get bamboozled into this whole thing where, like, I'm on Epstein Island, I would be like, put the camera away, bro. They're all like this. Yeah, they were pictures smiling. I would have been like, put the camera away. Why are you taking pictures of me, bro?

[Eddie]

It was crazy that there is a pedophile island with the richest, most powerful people. And they were moving like we would on spring break.

[Natasha]

They were literally moving like a vlogger. Like, they were cheesed up. It was David Dobrik in that. Like, it's crazy. In every single picture, they're ear to ear, cheesing. The hardest they've ever cheesed in their life. They're, like, throwing up sets. Like, there's, like, pictures of them throw. I'm like, okay, west side. Like, what is that?

[Eddie]

Getting fits off, dripping silk, just looking.

[Natasha]

Like you look like they're having the.

[Eddie]

Time of their lives, minus the fact that there's pedophilia and sex trafficking.

[Natasha]

It's crazy. Have you ever seen the. Do you remember VH1? Used to do My Fabulous Life or something? Like, My Rich Fabulous Life. They did one on Jeffrey Epstein. No, I swear to God, I saw somebody. This. Somebody tweeted it and it's like, it was from, like, 2003, 2004. And it's literally. They do an episode on him. They're in his, like, New York City penthouse. They're in his plane. They're like, he has an eye. Like, they're showing all of it. It's crazy. Like, he fully was like, yeah, like, let's do a MTV Cribs on my life.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Natasha]

What?

[Eddie]

People were just living so big and so wild.

[Natasha]

There was no repercussions for any. Anything pre 2010. You could do anything.

[Eddie]

Eras like this because we have. We have, like, Epstein, R. Kelly, Diddy. I think Michael Jackson was the precursor.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

He might have been like Christopher Columbus of this. But, like, I don't. I mean, Greek people had Capri, Ancient Capri.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean, like, is this.

[Natasha]

No, I think. I think. Really? Because. Well, I mean, think about it before and then I think about it, I'm like, oh, it makes sense. They were taking pictures because they didn't know that was gonna be uploaded to the Internet because the Internet was a different thing. Like, you could, like, take photos and those photos would just live at your mom's house.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I guess. Jfk, Sinatra, Rat Pack, those guys were doing it. They were smart. They weren't, like, taking photos like this.

[Natasha]

Yeah. And I guess. But I guess the whole point for Jeffrey Epstein was, like, to get it on camera. But the thing I'm just, like, baffled by is why everybody was like, yeah, pics. Like, let's get it. Like, I truly am just, like, in my head, like, if I was doing something, I'd be like, no. Like, no camera.

[Eddie]

Yeah. If it for real felt like what it was like being advice. Just like insane things were happening. And all of it's documented.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

It's all in everybody's.

[Natasha]

No, but I mean it really, when you think about it, it's like we watch so many people are so into true crime and like, listen to these, you know, long form pieces about serial killers. And even like watching Zodiac recently, I was like, it's crazy that. Which will bring me to another point. Remind me to bring this up, because there is, like, supposedly a serial killer in New York City right now. Oh, no, no, no. I swear to God. They're finding, like, dead bodies all around Queens, all around the Bronx. It's like people are.

[Eddie]

Never happened with Eric Adams. No. Okay.

[Natasha]

I mean, no, this was happening fully under Eric Adams the whole time.

[Eddie]

But, like, he was focused on the rats.

[Natasha]

Come on. Yeah, he was focused on the rats. But that's brings me to another point. But it's like you never hear about these, like, serious. These like, big, prolific serial killers, like, in the same way. And it's like you could really just be getting away with murder in the 80s 90s, really. Until they started, like, DNA fingerprinting and doing all that regularly, even in, like, smaller counties.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

You could just be out here, like, killing people and you, like, wouldn't get caught. Like, people would. You know how many people probably killed somebody pre. Pre 1995?

[Eddie]

No. Yeah.

[Natasha]

And it just wasn't a big deal. Like, they probably just like, living. Not a serial killer vibe, but probably just like, killed some. Somebody.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You just have to be, like, slightly more intelligent than Aaron Hernandez to have gotten away with it.

[Natasha]

Oh, my God. That's my number one celebrity crush. Like, if I could bring. That's another one.

[Eddie]

That's another one. I'm like, all right, if you stole my girl, I would understand Aaron hernandez.

[Natasha]

I understand 100% like that, man. It's crazy to like, that whole thing. It makes him even hotter that he was like, cte out, like, being insane. Like, you're like, wow, oh my God, I could fix you.

[Eddie]

And like, he got like, stupid strength Dick, you know, it's crazy.

[Natasha]

You remind me a little bit of Aaron Hernandez. I don't know, maybe it's just like your fresh fade vibe. Like he always. A fresh fade. Yeah. Florida.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I take that as a energy, but yeah.

[Natasha]

But yeah, people are saying, I've seen multiple videos on Tick Tock, the streets are talking, that there's a serial killer in New York City.

[Eddie]

Damn.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What are we gonna do, throw Matcha at it?

[Natasha]

No, but it is scary.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

I mean, I think people have found bodies, body parts, dismembered, like a torso and a leg. Like, I definitely am more considerate of, like, the dangers of being alone. Like, even sometimes where I'll be, like, at in the evening taking an Uber alone with Senna especially, I think it occurred to me, like, oh, wow. Like, I probably do appear, like, pretty vulnerable to somebody who was going to do something. You know what I mean? So I kind of stay in the house.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're on the Internet telling people you got like a well manicured bush. Like you're vulnerable.

[Natasha]

It's not well manicured. It's really not. Like it's, it's fine, but it's not well managed.

[Eddie]

I prefer that. I prefer that. I, I, you know, I prefer the Amazon before they cut down all the trees.

[Natasha]

That's what I'm saying. Keep it healthy. It's a healthy ecosystem.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's a healthy ecosystem. Yeah, you need that.

[Natasha]

But, yeah, no, I just find that, like, crazy and a little scary. But there's a lot of. Yeah, there's a lot of. What else is going on with you?

[Eddie]

We have the new menu launching today at the flower shop. I forgot.

[Natasha]

That's exciting. Let's talk about that.

[Eddie]

Get in the pod world. I forget, like, what else other stuff we have going on, but once I peed, I was like, oh, wait, we have.

[Natasha]

That's exciting. Let's talk about that. Talk about, like, how you were inspired to create some of these new dishes.

[Eddie]

Well, really, it's just hanging out here and then being like, what do I want to eat tonight? And once it got cold, I was like, I would love a duck confit. I would love, like, more potatoes. Like, I would like a, a pork belly steak with some potato salad on some Spanish shit. Because a lot of it too is. You know, for the last eight months, I've been really rewatching a lot of no reservations, parts unknown.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I really like the Spain episodes and I see it and I'm just like, oh, that would be nice. Yeah, that'd be nice to eat there. And so I think those are inspirations in that. That going to New England in the summer and eating a lot of New England seafood got me into Ari Callander's seafood cookbook. And I've been like, reading and cooking through that. And so there's like the New England seafood vibe. There's some Spain and then there's some just like, I'm very cold in New York. And I thought of the Burlington Coat Factory and was just like, man, I want a new leather jacket and warm food. And that's what we did. I got a new leather jacket, and we're making some warm food.

[Natasha]

I love that. Yeah. No, I'm very happy about the winter to just be having more soup, more warm food. Like, I feel like my palate for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese food really gets sparked up in the winter. Like, I start really feeding for it. Like, I need this right now.

[Eddie]

I need pho. I need beef noodles, soup. I need, like, all the Korean soups.

[Natasha]

Totally.

[Eddie]

I need Velka. I need Ukrainian.

[Natasha]

Oh, my God. That's what I wanted to talk about. Yeah. I. We do not talk about Polish food enough. We do not talk about Russian food enough. Like, this is my brother. I love pierogies. I love borsch.

[Eddie]

It's incredible.

[Natasha]

I am obsessed with Russian, Polish food. I feel like people have highlighted so many different types of cuisine. We talk about French food, we talk about Lebanese food. We talk about Chinese food, Asian food. That part of the world truly, to me, is turning out the best food.

[Eddie]

Yeah. When you live in a climate, you eat for the climate, and then you can appreciate cuisine. Which is funny why when people like, I don't like this cuisine, I'm like, you just haven't been in a pocket where that cuisine makes sense to you.

[Natasha]

Right.

[Eddie]

Because, for instance, like, on the Internet right now and still a lot of, like, hot New York restaurants. It's like crudo or ceviche in a pool of olive oil. And I'm like, it's too cold for that.

[Natasha]

Yeah. Not in January. I need some borscht. I need borscht with a lot of sour cream.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

I need a stuffed cabbage. I need pierogies. I need. I just think the thing about Russian, Polish food that I love so much, if you have a palate for sour, like, mapu tofu, sweet and sour soup, to me, like, borscht. Anything that has, like, sour just. I'm salivating thinking about it. Like, I want to go to Baselica right now.

[Eddie]

Yes. Sour soup. That's why in the. In the summer, we did the pickled mustard green skate wing.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But, you know, like, right now I'm like, the pickled mustard green spinach dip with, like, warm sourdough bread we got on now, I'm like, that's what I need.

[Natasha]

I say it all the time. But the thing that I'm never gonna shut the fuck up about is that your spinach Dip here is better than any spinach dip that you can get anywhere.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Natasha]

Like Hillstone. I don't care where you're going, people. I would. I would go to Hillstone just for the spinach dip, because I love spinach dip. To me, that's like. I could eat vats of it. I could just sit there and eat it all day. I'm love. I'm a picker. I want to pick. I want to pick and eat.

[Eddie]

And we're updating it now again, because it's like, in the summer, tortilla chips make sense. Fall tortilla chips. Now I'm like, it is freezing. I need an intense sourdough bread to dip into this dip. So we're doing that. But this place that we found shot. A shot.

[Natasha]

Incredible.

[Eddie]

This is incredible Eastern European food. I don't want to miss. I think it's Ukrainian, but you can check it out and see they had an incredible borscht. Incredible.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Pork cutlets, chicken cutlets, I would say. The interesting thing is I think a lot of the food of a Selka has gone downhill, but their pierogies are still quite good.

[Natasha]

Their pierogies are still my favorite.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

I loved the borscht that we got from Shote. Shote.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

It was thicker, heartier.

[Eddie]

Stuffed cabbage was better there.

[Natasha]

Stuffed cabbage was hardier. I think the thing about Basilica going there, you're gonna have a much better meal than if you get delivery.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Which is like, fine things don't trap some things.

[Eddie]

Chicken soup, really? They used to put their foot in it.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And now it's just like. It doesn't have that backbone it used to. Like. I have a strong feeling they're diluting it with a lot more water to save money, because that soup does not hit like it used to. And it was the best chicken soup in New York.

[Natasha]

Okay, I have. I don't have rapid fire for you, but I do have. Okay, you have hypothetical scenario. You're in New York. You have a whole weekend off. It could be a day. It could be the whole weekend. You can eat whatever the fuck you want. That won't hurt your stomach. It won't make you fat. Calories don't count. You're not going to shit your pants. You can eat anything from breakfast to dinner to 3am snack. What are you, like, what's your dream day of eating in New York City in January? I guess because we're in the winter right now, it would change seasonally, but, like, dead of winter, dream day of eating in New York City.

[Eddie]

Okay. Dream day. And I'm not saying it because you're really. It popped in my head. When you make the chocolate chip pancakes and bring them in bed, that is kind of the best way to wake up. So I would say that.

[Natasha]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I would then go to the bathroom and swim so I'd feel better about myself, because I need to. I just need to swim.

[Natasha]

But, like, calories don't count this day.

[Eddie]

Calories don't count.

[Natasha]

So you don't need to swim because you feel nothing. You just ate 10,000 pancakes. You feel nothing. You're still hungry.

[Eddie]

I would just, like, wake up to have a little chocolate chip pancake in bed. That's nice. Then I. I want a white fish salad on a sesame bagel. Probably from Essa Bagel or David's Bagels down the street. That. That's what I like. And then I would go to get dim sum at Dim Sum Magogo Dim sum. A gogo has the duck scallion rice roll out of control. Fantastic. It's lunchtime now. I do. I cannot disconnect place from food. So late lunch. Let's have a really late lunch and sit at Borgo. All right. I love it at Borgo. Little chicken liver toast, a pasta salad. Just like, you know, we've already eaten a lot.

[Natasha]

Fava bean dip at Borgo is, like, next level.

[Eddie]

Out of control and just, like, sitting in the room and just. Is fantastic. The light is fantastic there. Then dinner, man. Dinner. There are so many choices. And this is. I like Kes.

[Natasha]

I knew. I literally knew you were gonna say ke.

[Eddie]

I like ke. I want to go and I want to say, look, we're gonna get one prime rib. We're gonna get a mutton chop. We're gonna share. We're gonna get some cream spinach. We're gonna get some potatoes on the side. I'm gonna have a Manhattan up with the green Weller. Manhattan up if they got it. Yeah. Dessert, like, Petey's pie delivered to the couch. And I got five legs of a parlay already hit. And I'm trying to work that six leg.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Eating just like Petey's pie. Even though Petey's has also fallen off a little bit. I'd say Petey's pie or that cinnamon rol. Losers.

[Natasha]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Do I get a Saturday? Let's say that's Saturday is Sunday.

[Natasha]

Okay? Going into Sunday.

[Eddie]

Sunday I wake up. All right. Okay. Sunday I would like Nan Shang Shalong Ball, the soup dumpling place we took Santa to with Cam. I love on St Mark's I like that place. I would then go. Go back home and order Dan and John's wings and watch the game. Eating Dan and John's wings.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Then, you know, oh, I would. I would like some Korean food as the late afternoon. Like, I had some wings during the game, but I need something else. So I would probably go to, like, Juan Joe because I don't know what soup I want, but they have. They do a lot of soups. Well, so I could get galbitang. I could get Yukajong. I could get all kinds of suits. I like Juan. There's better places that aren't coming to my head right now, but I like Juanjo a lot.

[Natasha]

I can't believe we haven't had a hot pot.

[Eddie]

Oh, I do love hot pot.

[Natasha]

I'm like, I can't believe that. No point. We've hot pot.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I. I would say then. All right, you know what? Tonight we're gonna go to Da Longi, the hot pot place on the second floor on Canal street and Bowery.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

We went there before with April and then dessert, man. They're not here in the city anymore. But I used to love meat fresh, the Taiwanese dessert place that had, like, taro balls and sesame balls and was warm and hot. Yeah, those. That's. That's where I'm eating.

[Natasha]

Wow. I love that. Sounds incredible.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I'm not shouting it out just because he's like, one of our best friends, but I do also. I have really taken a liking to, like, a warm Regina's sandwich when it's cold.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Because I work near Regina's and I'll walk over, get the meatball sub, get the chicken cutlet. Just a warm Regina sandwich is so nice when it's freezing.

[Natasha]

100. I liked even the, like, colder Regina sandwiches. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Really good.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I just want something hot right now.

[Natasha]

Me too. I'm into that.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I love that. Okay. What about you? What's a perfect day of eating in this weather?

[Natasha]

Perfect day of eating in this weather? Breakfast. I'm not like, a huge breakfast person. I just want, like, a really yummy latte. I want, like, probably mixed in date cardamom latte. Delicious.

[Eddie]

Damn, Roman. Getting a lot of love on this pot.

[Natasha]

Because I really like the mix in. It's either going to be mixed in or it's going to be a Dunkin Donuts, like, special whatever they have. Like, if they have the cereal milk or if they have. Have whatever, like, special iced coffee they have where they're just Putting, like, lots of heavy cream and, like, sprinkles on top. It's gonna be one of two of those things.

[Eddie]

Cereal milk latte goes crazy.

[Natasha]

And if it's Dunkin Donuts, then I'm getting a donut with it. And then I probably. I'm walking. Even though it's cold. I'm walking because I'm just wearing, like, full fur head to toe. I'm just like, hey. I'm like, yeah, just full.

[Eddie]

You escape from the Bronx Zoo.

[Natasha]

And then I'd probably go somewhere, like, losers or Libre, where I can get just a really delicious pastry, like a cinnamon bun or really fun croissant, where there's, like, eight different things. Or like, this is the almond, chocolate, pistachio, tahini, whatever, the new pastry that we just put, like, steroids in. And I'm like, yeah, that's what I want.

[Eddie]

See, I'm so funny. I don't want a pastry middle of the day. I want to start buying pastries on the weekends, saving them. So then when we're watching, like, I love LA in bed, we can like, oh, that's great. Can we start doing that?

[Natasha]

Totally.

[Eddie]

All right, good. Sorry to interrupt.

[Natasha]

This is breakfast. This is the middle of the day. This is like, we're still. This is like 30am I, like, this is we still. And then after that, I would absolutely go to dim sum, and I would just throw down, like, every. Like, every time they come around with the car. I don't give a what it is. Yeah, put it down. Yeah, put it down. Yeah, put it down. Eating until I'm sick. Vibes like Hunger Games. Like, taking a pill so I could throw up and eat more. Vibes, like, I'm not get sick.

[Eddie]

We're still eating.

[Natasha]

I'm talking about Hunger Games, though. You know how they have that? They're like, we are so rich. We eat so much. Like, we do that.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Natasha]

I'm just throwing it down at dim sum. They're like, is she good? I'm, like, still throwing it down. And then after dim sum, I would probably get another coffee or, like, a really delicious matcha. Again, just, like, slutty matcha. Just, like, heavy cream on it. Like, things are hot. Like, it's just beautiful, amazing. And then we're probably at around, like, 11:30 right now. I would. I would like to then go get, like, a sukiyaki. Just something. So I'm cold now. I'm cold. I'm walking with my coffee on my way to sukiyaki.

[Eddie]

Like, oh, toya sokiyaki. Totally.

[Natasha]

Like, and I'm just. Oh, amazing. Just sukiyaki. After that, I make my way to some Japanese food. I get some, like, Japanese fried chicken. I get some just, like, light bites, you know what I mean? Like, we're just keeping it light. We're doing some, like, chicken teriyaki. Like, it's fun. Some onigiri keeping.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I love onigiri keeping.

[Natasha]

It cute, right?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Natasha]

And then after that, I would probably. Or probably midday, probably 2pm I'd probably go somewhere, like, cool, sexy, and fun for a drink. I need a little bit. Like, maybe I'm at like. Like some are getting a martini and I want, like, blue cheese, olives, dirty. Dirty martini. Just like that in itself is a meal. And then I want some pasta. I want some just, like, delicious, decadent pasta for lunch. Full, Just full send. Getting everything. I don't know where I am, actually. Maybe I'm at Via Corota potentially. I don't know. But I'm just. Pasta, pasta, stuffed olives. I am at Via Carota getting the stuffed olives, getting everything that I love. Just indulging again. I would hit another coffee, another pastry after that. Because after any time I eat food, I need a sweet treat.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you do. I mean, your stomach wants sugar.

[Natasha]

After coffee, pastry.

[Eddie]

Can I say one thing on the on. On the note of Italian? Right? Because you're talking Italian. Because we live in Murray Hill. I love Patrizia's, the star pizza.

[Natasha]

But their pasta isn't good.

[Eddie]

No, their pasta's not good, but their pizza is incredible. An odd food item that we love.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Is the buffalo chicken star pizza from Patrizia's.

[Natasha]

Oh, my God, the buffalo chicken pizza.

[Eddie]

It goes crazy.

[Natasha]

It's in. It's insane.

[Eddie]

Sorry.

[Natasha]

Insane. And then after that, I would probably want to do dinner at 4 Charles and just get the burger. I would just get like, eight burgers, honestly, and just eat them all up to myself. I'm eating burgers and red wine at Charles.

[Eddie]

Just your dinner is, like, better.

[Natasha]

And then after that, I'm gonna go do some karaoke. And then I'm getting late night Korean food. Like kimchi fried rice. Like, rice is better. Like, I'm just doing, like, war jip. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. And then. And then again, I'm gonna want a sweet treat so that I'm going to St. Mark's and doing like, something incredibly Asian. That's just, like, fun. Like, I'm getting like, tarot or like, just like something so sweet and like.

[Eddie]

Maybe a little bit sour for Charles is so good. I forgot too. It's like, you know, I did say Borgo. I did say keens. Those are like, when you want to splurge in the city. I feel like the. The places that come to mind. Four Charles Keens. The grill.

[Natasha]

The grill, for sure.

[Eddie]

The grill is fantastic. Love odor. Those are the places where we've had, like, excellent, just like, decadent nights out. Like, the grill for Christmas was incredible.

[Natasha]

Oh, incredible. I felt like I was just like, this is the only way to ever do Christmas again.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

In my life was like, the grill. It was just so nice, like, to have your family, like, if you can have your family go to the grill on Christmas, it's the best experience. It's so lovely.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I felt like I was in a Christmas movie.

[Natasha]

No, I really felt like Kevin McCallister. I felt like, Like I was like, just in home alone. But I was not home alone. I was with my whole entire family and like, having the best, best day of my life. Even though we were all, like, on the verge of, like, literally, little did we know, two hours later, we were all going to have the plague.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Not the fault of the grill, but no, it was incredible. Yeah. I really think if you're going to explore, if I'm going to really do the big one, for me, it's for Charles. Because that burger. I'm a burger girl. Like, I know people have their thoughts on burgers. It's like such a, like, low level palate thing to do. I. With a burger.

[Eddie]

Like, you do you love burgers.

[Natasha]

I love a burger. I think if you can do, like, to me, it's just like, I know foodie people will be like, anyone can do a burger.

[Eddie]

People like burgers. I'm annoying. I'm just.

[Natasha]

I've heard a lot. No, no, no. I've heard a lot of people, even on this podcast be like, well, I'm not gonna go somewhere and order the burger. And I'm like, I am. Like, I'm gonna order the burger every five times.

[Eddie]

That's why 4 Charles is perfect for us because you're gonna get the burger. And I'm like, like, let me get the prime rib. I want to roast. I want something that's been roasted, like, slow and low. Like, I'm into it, but I do.

[Natasha]

I think in the near future, I really need to. And that's so funny about New York is, I guess outside of Luger and outside of Keens, what is. What do you think is just, like a Regular like weeknight steakhouse to go to. That's like not going to break the bank. But it's delicious. Where you can get like all the fixings. You can get a steak. You can get like creamed spinach, creamed corn, like, like where do you know? Because I guess I just don't know.

[Eddie]

Yeah, steak is just very expensive now. Beef is expensive. But I would say that like if I was going to have a steak not in a steakhouse that's like reasonably priced, I would say Bar Oliver. I do really like Bar Oliver.

[Natasha]

No, but I mean like steakhouse. Like I want, like I want. If I want to do like steakhouse vibe.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I would say in the city. Underrated. And you can always get a reservation. I don't know how it's in business because it's always half empty. But they have fantastic food and they're a knockoff of Lugers is Wolfgangs. Oh, I love Wolfgangs. I really like Wolfgangs.

[Natasha]

Wolfgangs is such a strip club place.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

It's such a.

[Eddie]

Like it's in the area.

[Natasha]

Such a. Like you go there and then you go to the strip club. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I've never been to a strip club, but. Yeah, I'm aware.

[Natasha]

I haven't either. It's crazy.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I've seen the ads on top of the cabs.

[Natasha]

Same. And then I've never been there. Yeah, it's like the ad and then like sometimes it'll be like Wolfgangs and then like flash dancers.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I'm like, oh, wow, what's this?

[Natasha]

Speaking of which is slept on and that people should in this economy consider is that strip clubs have really good steakhouses. Like Sapphire, the strip club next. Like attached to Sapphire is really good.

[Eddie]

Yeah. If I'm being honest, the Prime Ribbon scores good. It's good.

[Natasha]

It's good.

[Eddie]

It's good.

[Natasha]

And it's not so expensive. They're like, you got other things to spend money on here. Like the steak is not that expensive.

[Eddie]

Is the cheapest, best value in there.

[Natasha]

100. You know, that's what I'm like if you're, if you're looking for a good date night in this economy.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Legs and eggs.

[Natasha]

Legs and eggs.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

Consider. Consider it.

[Eddie]

I've never been.

[Natasha]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Never been Heard about it.

[Natasha]

Read about the prime ribbon on the Internet, you know.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'm aware they have prime rib.

[Natasha]

That and like at this time of year I crave just being at a diner, just mediocre diner. It doesn't have to be the best. I'm not looking for. I'm not on the Internet, like, the best diner. I'm just like. Like, I'll take whatever.

[Eddie]

Also, like, you know, like, to wait in line for a diner is really annoying. Like, that's. It's just like, dude, it's a diner. Like, we should just be big and open.

[Natasha]

I mean, I'm happy for whoever's waiting in line at a diner. I'm happy for the diner. I'm happy for that.

[Eddie]

I'm just good with, like, Gemini Diner. Gemini Diner.

[Natasha]

Yeah, the Murray Hill Diner.

[Eddie]

I'm like, yeah, the Murray Hill Diner is an incredible vibe. But that's why I. With living. We're not going to continue after this year. But I have really loved living in Murray Hill. Cause there's no cool shit. There's no, like, just everyone has decentered themselves in their lives.

[Natasha]

I will tell you, I will. I will look back on it fondly. I won't say I'm gonna miss it, but I will say that I will look back and have nice memories and maybe delusionally convince myself that I miss it at some point.

[Eddie]

I will miss the view. Miss the view. I will miss the homies in the building. I will miss the Gemini Diner. I will miss the Murray Hill diner. I will miss a lot of. I will miss a lot of things in there. The bodega that has really good gummies. I will miss it. Kwawa. You will miss Kwawa?

[Natasha]

I will. But not for, like, the. Not for the offerings. No, I will miss it. For the people that work there.

[Eddie]

You want the viral Dubai cheesecake?

[Natasha]

No, like, I enjoy it. It's good. It's better than going to Starbucks to me. But the part that I like about it is just like, the people that work there. I just like that it's a family and they're so sweet. Yeah. I just like people that, like, there's, like, aren't ruined by, like, just like society. Like, society hasn't ruined them yet. Like, they're good. They're nice people. They're like, oh, do you have your child here? Like, we have some Starbursts and Skittles. Like, they haven't, like, figured out the Red 40 is like the devil. Like, nobody's in there, like, shaming me for being a bad mom because I let my kid eat Skittles. Like, yeah, it's fine. Like, I like that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's. It's regular working people in Murray Hill, which I love. Like, when we first started working at the flower shop at like, like 4:35 o' clock. People would come in and be like, hey, there was, like, some neon program or something, and they're like, hi, I'm an influencer. This is my account. I'm entitled to, like, an appetizer and a drink. And I was like, what?

[Natasha]

Yeah, I'm gonna post a picture here. So I get a. I get a free appetizer and a free drink, so bring it, bitch.

[Eddie]

And I was like, what is this? And the bartenders are like, oh, yeah, this is a program that they've, like, opted into where, you know, they come and they show us their account, and we give them an appetizer and a drink. And I was like, this is so weird. Yeah, this is just. This is just odd. It's like free lunch for influencers.

[Natasha]

There's a lot of, like, that. There's a lot of, like, I'm happy.

[Eddie]

For people getting free stuff. I'm more just like, you should promote a restaurant because you like the food, not because we gave it to you for free. Yeah, that's how I feel.

[Natasha]

Yeah. In la, there's a lot of things you can sign up for. And then they're like, oh, you can get, like, a free facial and, like, 78 off at Equinox and, like, 90 off at this. Like, it's, like, crazy.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Is this. It's the whole that. That, like, that world. I don't like participating the Murray Hill Diner. That's the world I enjoy being in.

[Natasha]

I really enjoy it. It's very nice. Yeah. People are normal. Sometimes they have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm like, that's great. That's great.

[Eddie]

I love that. And I like that people with businesses in Murray Hill are doing team meetings at, like, the Gemini Diner. Like, we sit down, and people are like, all right. Sales are down this month, and there's, like, nine people eating club sandwiches. Like, this is sick. Yeah, this is sick. I'm in on Rob's team, like, annual report.

[Natasha]

I'm in on anywhere where you get a pickle.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

You know what I'm saying?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Natasha]

You get a pickle. I want to eat there.

[Eddie]

Sarges. I will miss Sarges. We don't need it.

[Natasha]

We don't eat at Sarge is enough. Let's eat a sergeant.

[Eddie]

I'm telling you, bro, Sarge's is so fire.

[Natasha]

Let's eat at Sarge's again. I really like that. I mean, I'm just. Yeah, it's crazy.

[Eddie]

My New Year's resolution is that I'm just gonna stay fast. That just FYI. I like that. All right. I'll lose like £5. So I'm like, not pre diabetic, but then I'd like to stay in that range.

[Natasha]

Here's what I think you should do. Right? Here's I think you should do. I think Monday through Friday, you lock the in, right? Like, you lock in. You're just like, you don't. Not even to lose weight. Just like eating healthy. Like, eating in a way that makes you feel good just because you have stomach issues. And then what I think in the new year is like Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Or I guess our weekend is more like Saturday, Sunday, Monday, we throw down. Like what we just explained in our dream day. I think we just do that.

[Eddie]

Let's do that. Let's do that. Saturday, Sunday, Monday. I think we do that. Do me a solid. Yeah. It begins Saturday night. Like, Saturday night, Sunday and Monday. And just if. If you punch me in the face when I eat senna snacks, I will be fine.

[Natasha]

You gotta stop doing that because every.

[Eddie]

Night I'm in there just plowing.

[Natasha]

I know. And then the poor kid wakes up and he's like, mommy, can I have. He's like, where are my puffs? Where am I? Where. Where is this? Where is that?

[Eddie]

And I'm like, like, your father was gambling and needed to.

[Natasha]

But also, I'm just like, why can't. But also I'm just like, why can't you just tell me, like, what snacks you like so I can have them? Like, not it for nothing. Like, I get him, like, the organic. Like, his snacks suck. Like, they're the worst. Like, he eats seaweed.

[Eddie]

I will eat anything he eats.

[Natasha]

Like probiotic yogurt bites.

[Eddie]

Like, when I'm watching sports and I got the parlay cooking. I will eat anything.

[Natasha]

I know, but I have like, true fruit. I have like, things that are good. Like, just tell me what you want his.

[Eddie]

Because it looks like it's healthy.

[Natasha]

It's not. When you eat the whole thing, like, you will eat the family size. We started out getting him the little bags of the. The Pirates booty puffs. Yeah, whatever. Throw one in his backpack when he goes to school. If he's hungry after school, we eat it. Then we got the big bag because you were eating them. And then we got the family size bag. And I'm like, what comes after that, bro? Like, what's next after family size diabetes? Got it? Yeah. And. But like, puffs are such. No. Okay.

[Eddie]

You know what you have Gu, that is good is the rice cracker.

[Natasha]

Oh, the rice filling.

[Eddie]

[Natasha]

Oh, that's like the eating disorder special.

[Eddie]

Yeah, let me. Rice cracker. That's it. And nothing else. Just punch me in the face. Be like, you fat piece of.

[Natasha]

[Eddie]

Yeah, I need to lock it. I'm locking today. I'm locked in.

[Natasha]

Yeah, but then it's basketball.

[Eddie]

But basketball is fine. I don't need to watch too many Nick games. There's after. This is the worst after this January.

[Natasha]

To maybe I think.

[Eddie]

No, no, January, February is cool. And then after that it's like I just watch a Nick game a week. I get one Nick game a week instead of like five games Sunday. A game Monday and a game Thursday and a game Saturday.

[Natasha]

He's going to do his big one for Valentine's Day and then my birthday that is three weeks later. So we'll be back with I up.

[Eddie]

[Natasha]

Oh cuz in I love la. We were watching it last night and they. She. She's all like drunk. She's like we should play. We're not really strangers. And it's this like game. It's like these. It's like a. Like a cool girl made this like game that's supposed to promote like intimacy in your friendships and if. And in your com. Like committed relationships, whatever. And our first Valentine's Day together, Eddie like tried to do a big one. He really tried. He like. I woke up that morning and I Think he made me pancakes. And he was like, we're gonna go to the Madonna Inn. And I was like, that's so cute. Like, he's like driving me to Madonna Inn. And we're having this, like. We're having this like, road trip, like, cutie vibes. We, like, stop at Erewhan and like, get smoothies and whatever. And it's like, so fun. We're like. We're like making. We're like literally being corny. We're like, in the grocery store, like, making it a thing. We're like, laughing and like, chasing each other around. And there's like, like a fucking Dua Lipa song playing in the back. And we get to the Madonna Inn and things immediately go downhill. Hasn't made a reservation for dinner at the restaurant, so we eat lunch in the cafe and then we have to eat Valentine's Day dinner in a coffee shop. And then he brings out the card game, which I'm like, okay, cute. Like, he's trying. He brings out we're not really strangers. And on like the second flip of a card is in his handwriting. Like some like, will you go on a date with me? And I was like, yeah, that wasn't for me. That was for old girl. That was for some other bitch. And I was just like, damn, bro, I'm ha. I'm having a cappuccino at 8pm on Valentine's Day with some recycled fucking game. Like, that's crazy. No bag, no jewelry, no, like, gift to make up for it. You know what I mean? Like, no, like, high value. Like, I can overlook the fact of it. Like, there was nothing for me to overlook. You know what I mean? Like, sometimes your man.

[Eddie]

It was such a fail sometimes.
