[00:21:14]I cannot be going There cannot be 60 Uber Eats guys outside of a Pilates studio waiting for for them to deliver their the Chalupa to someone who's bed high.

[00:22:26]Well, that's what they'll indulge in more than any other fast food though.

[00:22:28]Okay, you think so? Yeah, definitely.

[00:22:30]Why? I don't know this.

[00:35:00]>> No, I agree. Definitely not. That's not going to be a place that you No one wants to be going. That's part of And it's I think that something that I love the really a lot about New York City is that you can just experience your full range of emotions in public and there's a lot going on and people can You know who kind of let you be. You know who says that? What?

[00:35:23]>> People that didn't go to high school in New York. Why? Because if I cry on the train, I always bump into someone I went to high school with.

[00:35:30]Okay. True. People that move to New York City go, "Oh, it's so great. You could cry on the train." Not me. I could bump into my high school football coach.

[00:35:38]>> doesn't matter if you bump into your high school coach. He's seen something more crazy that day than Sebastian Canale crying. That's more of the point I'm trying to make. I think that people like the anonymity of crying because no one looks at them. They go, "I could cry on the train. No one bothers me. I could just have a good cry and get off." I see.

[00:35:54]Yeah, I mean, one time I'm doing this crazy dance in my whole little JP Morgan outfit on the train and my best friend from high school What was on the train?

[00:36:00]And he's like, >> safe. What's up, Robbie? I I run into people all the time, especially now from work.

[00:36:07]I work in a I just see a lot of people in the neighborhood that I work in at work. Rob, I'm actually That's just the reality.

[00:36:13]>> I go out on the streets, I bump into people every time I leave the house.

[00:36:17]It is not safe for me to cry on the train. It's safe for a person that moved from Okay, you're right.

[00:36:23]>> from Minneap- from Minnesota to here that that has a a crew of 10 people.

[00:36:28]They could cry on the train. You're right.

[00:36:29]>> Cuz everyone is everyone isn't real to them. That's all that means. No one's real to them and no one's going to bother them.

[00:36:36]They're finally >> To me when I'm like there's Yeah, I guess those people are Yeah, I don't know.

[00:36:40]I just feel like it's not you're not going to judge me. Like I don't know.

[00:36:43]It's to me I'm like it should be a judgment-free zone.

[00:36:47]Cuz we're all dealing with it. No.

[00:36:49]>> That's where I get the sense of community from. Like I could be whatever.

[00:36:53]in public >> If I I was on the train once and I was having a rough day and I saw some kid I knew from junior high in his construction uniform going home. I'm sitting there with the backpack and I'm having a rough day and I saw he saw me and he turned his back to Billy you.

[00:37:07]Oh, not even? He He just turned his back He looked at me and went turned his back to me. This is a real story. Real story. Recently? No, 10 years ago.

[00:37:15]>> Okay. All right, 10 years ago. Okay. But like this is like I think that people that are like you could cry on the train and no one bothers you isn't scared of bumping into someone from junior high school. Okay.

[00:37:24]Yeah.

[00:37:25]Sure. I always get a There's a little part of me that I go There's a little part of me that goes Yeah, BECAUSE YOU DON'T [ __ ] KNOW NOBODY HERE. OKAY.

[00:37:34]YOU DON'T [laughter] [ __ ] KNOW NOBODY HERE. THAT'S WHY YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE CRYING ON THE TRAIN. I KNOW PEOPLE HERE.

[00:50:41]And my friend was like, "Ah, you got to Anthony Bourdain it." I go, "He lived in a different time." Yes. I think that I like love Anthony Bourdain so much and people bring I see so many reels of him.

[00:50:51]He lived in an era where lines around the block for a restaurant from Tik Tok didn't exist. That you didn't need to get a reservation for a place two months out because three people said they liked it that were famous.

[00:51:02]>> Yes. I have This is like a more and more thing that I've been hearing from people that are traveling that they didn't get their reservations in in time and then just like couldn't go to a lot of the hot spots.

[00:56:17]Uh, but he changes minds. He changes mind a lot and publicly. That's what they were also like publicly changing his mind was a big part of his success in this infographic. Which I liked and I think that we do that and you have to do that. I have a lot of thoughts on that.

[00:56:33]Okay.

[00:56:33]>> One, people don't need public opinions.

[00:56:36]Sure. Also that. He needed it. Yeah, for sure. He was a public figure on a topic that people wanted his opinion on.

[00:56:45]But, yes.

[00:56:46]I believe there's ways that you could be private and help more than public and help. But, whatever. That's a different thing. I just I would just think change your minds. Change your mind. Be open to changing your mind. Be open to new information. Trends change. I would He's like, "I was behind the trend on the vegetarian thing and I was wrong." The world changes.

[00:57:04]>> there's the places where they eat vegetarian strictly. Yes. I'm sure it gets And it's like, "All right, this is a different part of the world. Yeah, how could I have this opinion when this is like so ingrained into the culture of this place?"

[00:57:16]>> Also a lot of places in Europe eats beans most, you know? They eat beans, beans. Yeah.

[00:57:22]But, no. I think it's very important to be able to change your mind publicly in a sense, not necessarily on Instagram or social media or like, but just to your friends.

[00:57:31]Be like, "Hey, I was on this for a long time and I was wrong."

[00:57:35]And now I'm off it.

[00:57:36]>> Shout out the wrong man. I think it's good to be like, "Oh, I was wrong."

[00:57:40]>> I apologize. I was wrong. I was very wrong about that.

[00:57:43]>> I'll hang out with the guy that's wrong about five things that admits he was wrong about one because I believe he could change that Yeah. than a guy that's only wrong about one thing but will never change on it.

[00:58:05]Yeah.

[00:58:06]If you only view things through a certain lens, you only view things that this should be done this way, or this is what the situation is, or this is the rules, you need to be able to adapt as fast as ever, I would say.

[00:58:19]Uh, your opinions and just like how you're trying to react to what I don't know, like that's how I feel at least, I don't know. Yeah. I'm sure some people feel more set into a routine or whatever, but you got to be able to take in new information and change way you're moving somewhat quickly.

[00:58:35]People also are shaped by their environments too, Rob, Yeah.
