Welcome everybody talking with Natasha live with the Scarlata twins
0:06
How you guys doing? We're doing great. Thanks for having us, Natasha. Happy to be here
0:11
And we've got, look, I come to feed my guests. Yes, you do
0:14
I've got some incredible Italian food for you guys from Fresco Biscato
0:19
Have you ever eaten at Rosanna's restaurant before? Never ate there before, so this is going to be our first time here
0:23
Okay, but you worked construction outside of a restaurant? Yes, like two and a half, three years ago
0:28
and I was outside. We were doing like a water main break and I'm looking and I'm like
0:33
this restaurant looks amazing and I actually seen Rosanna's sister and I was like, I got to eat there one day
0:37
and here we are. It's so crazy that you guys started in construction
0:41
How long ago was that? I started about six months before him
0:45
2022. But before that, we were actually on Wall Street for three years. Oh, doing what
0:50
Cash advances. Yeah, so they're basically the high interest business lens. No collateral
0:56
Unregulated industry. Right. So you guys have done so many different jobs
1:01
At what point do you start to think, like, I could post on social media
1:05
How does that go through your mind? To be honest, it's like it never, like, just jumped in our mind
1:10
We did Vine, like, a long time ago. Vine? Yeah. I miss Vine
1:14
Vine was so fun. Oh, yeah. Pre-TikTok. 2013. We were young. And that's what we started
1:18
We stopped. Years later went by. And we just kind of did it as a joke and then stayed consistent
1:23
And it started really hitting. Yeah. Something else. And then I feel like when inflation first hit a year or two ago, that's when you really took off viral
1:33
Just your rants about the – Because we always ranted as things were expensive as they were
1:40
And then when they started getting really, really expensive, just adds fuel to the fire. Right, right
1:43
Then we had our accents on top of it. I'll never forget. It was the car insurance video I did
1:48
It was just literally – I was being honest. Yeah. And that blew up so nuts that we ended up doing a digital Fox article
1:55
Shout out to Jasmine. I forgot our last name. She was the first one to hit us up. And it led to the news tour we went on and everything else
2:00
So it's been such a sick ride. Yeah. We've got people also commenting
2:05
Oh, that's a good question. What's the perfect breakfast sandwich order? All right
2:09
All right. You ready, Josh? Bacon, egg, and cheese. All right. On a roll, not a bagel
2:15
Because when you have it on a bagel, everything falls apart. Right. You want the flavor consistent
2:18
You need it. You need it. Soul pepper ketchup. Well done, bacon. Well done, bacon
2:22
and possibly runny eggs because you don't want a dry egg. No. No one wants a dry egg
2:27
And if you're feeling nuts, a fried hash brown. What about ketchup? Salt, pepper, ketchup
2:31
Okay, salt, pepper, ketchup. Yes, PK or hot sauce if you're not a ketchup person
2:35
On a roll. On a roll. Okay. The bagel, you take a bite
2:39
goff a bit, even with a sausage, egg, and cheese, it's sliding out the back. Oh, no
2:42
It's going everywhere. Then once you have the consistency off, the whole thing's off
2:47
You might as well throw it out. Have like a good... I would never
2:51
but you might as well. What do you love about Staten Island
2:55
Because I think that's why you've also taken off your accents, everything about Staten Island
3:00
What do you love about growing up there? It's one of the most unique places of all time
3:04
the amount of characters that come from there, including us. I'll say something
3:09
We do have a very good support system, believe it or not, coming out of there
3:13
So it's a lot to love. Yeah, your neighbors love you? They do. They're forced to watch us a lot
3:17
Well, yeah, because you do a lot of your content on your back porch too. Yeah, we do it anywhere we can
3:22
or just record something. I would say Staten Island, it's a small population
3:25
but it has a lot of talent. It definitely has a lot of underrated talent. A lot of up-and-coming people, too
3:30
A lot of legendary people who came from there already. Shout out to Wu-Tang Clan
3:34
Shout out to Pete Davidson. Teddy Atlas. Teddy Atlas, legend. A lot of people
3:38
I'm probably forgetting a few, but it's so unique. Have you ever hung out with Pete Davidson
3:42
I have, but not with him. I've hung out in the vicinity with him. Where does he live
3:46
in relation to your neighborhood? I think Pete's what, in Brooklyn now? He might be on the North Shore
3:50
Yeah, I don't know where he's not now, I think he grew up like five ten minutes from oh no way
3:54
Yeah, I think he's in like that. I think I'm not a hundred percent sure around great kills. Yeah, so I heard
3:58
Do you have people like trying to force their way into your Sunday dinners or like want to get invited
4:03
Yeah, everyone's like oh when are we gonna we might have to do a raffle at this point a raffle not to do a raffle
4:08
I that's like the thing I see how much food that you're making how many people come to your
4:14
dinners so a few people Like if I know it'll be just it's not a lot though. It's not on my dad just is in the business of cooking for everybody
4:22
Right just in case they do show up. Yeah, and we got leftovers for days. Yeah, I could say let's let's shout out Papa Scarlatta
4:30
We got a dad cam on him right now What's up pops
4:36
Good how we're good. We're good And I mean he's like the star of the show when you guys are cooking like the sauce the food he makes is incredible
4:45
And honestly, it's hard because when we go out to eat, we're disappointed a lot because it's hard to keep up with his standard
4:51
Like, he's amazing. He's so good. He cooks with so much love that that's the difference maker, I think
4:57
Yeah, yeah. No, I think you feel that passion. You feel that love
5:01
Like, Dad's cooking. Mom's cooking. There's nothing like that. Yeah. And another thing about the Italian-American household, it's so funny because every single person whose mother, father, grandparents cook, they'll swear that those are the best meatballs or the best cutlets
5:13
Everyone's biased a little bit. know but there's nothing like waking up on a Sunday and smelling that sauce okay
5:21
you guys want to eat yeah what's the plan of attack here what are we gonna do
5:25
so you got the focaccia there's a little anti-positive start with the anti and the
5:29
rice balls and then we start on training work our way to your entries
5:37
that's a good plan do that how should we put it on how we go about this yeah I
5:41
I gotta go ladies first Natasha Someone just said do you guys still keep a contact with anyone from the circle? Oh, you're going to yes
5:49
Yes in Houston. So talk about that. So on Friday Darian and Judacia from our season season seven are Italian or not they get married
5:57
We're flying out their weddings on Saturday. We're so excited to be that's so crazy that they met on the circle
6:02
And now they're getting married literally fell in love in the circle and get it It was love at first sight. Oh real sad when I got that time
6:09
So when they did like when they everyone sees each other for the first time
6:12
That's when you could like see it in their eyes. Oh, yeah, and that even was like funny senior days
6:17
I know it. They're great. They're great people. Yeah, the best, you know, and we still they said do keep in contact
6:22
Yes, we still do we've been busy. Maybe we should have kept in a little better contact over the last few weeks
6:26
But yeah, we do we love them all I said we were real busy, but we we can't wait to party it up
6:30
I mean, yeah, Newark allows us to get to Texas. That would be Because the freeway apparently new it's not looking too hard
6:39
That was little Fig Jam. It was Fig Jam. It's so good. It was little Fig Jam
6:42
I love Fig Jam. It's so good. So you're flying through Newark
6:46
Yes. But we got to change that flight. United, we got to change it. You're going to Texas
6:50
Are you going to get cowboy boots? What do you think? To be honest, I've never wore cowboy boots or a cowboy hat in my life, but I won't rule
6:57
it out. Yeah. I will do it for the cause. Maybe get like a Stetson. I think I could pull it off
7:02
You could pull it off. You know, you do the boots that are like, you know, underneath your suit pants like that
7:09
and I think it'd be get some nice ostrich leather me that's real yeah
7:15
that's a thing I'm sure that they it's Texas you could probably get it in
7:21
anything yeah yeah someone asking have y ever considered have you ever considered Wow I wasn expecting that Delicious Go ahead sorry Have you ever considered doing stand
7:36
I actually did about... Wow, it's like... Wait, which one is that so I can avoid it
7:41
It's like the red one. Oh, the red, okay. I did about 8 to 10 stand-up sets
7:49
It's been a while, maybe over two years ago now. Yeah, I loved it
7:53
It's just right now, I'll be honest with you, Stand-ups are growing. You can't cheat it
7:57
And that's something you got to put the reps in. I got my goals and focus on other things right now
8:02
but I wouldn't rule it out again. We always said down the line, because we've never seen two people do it at once
8:07
Imagine two twins on the stage at the same time doing stand-up. That could be a cool aspect
8:11
But right now, we have a few things on our plate we want to do before attacking stand-up
8:16
Yeah, so let's wait. Let's talk about that. You've got some projects. We've got a couple
8:19
You're writing a screenplay? That we are. Yes, we are. Okay, tell me, what is it about
8:24
so it's so it's really like a Italian mob comedy to put it bluntly it's it's so
8:33
it's so deep but it's like an Italian mob comedy version of the parent trap
8:37
because obviously we're twins are we gonna play into right who wouldn't and it's it's gonna be filled with cameos but we really can't say too much about it
8:45
yeah so it's like we know parent trap with Lindsay Lohan is like the two twins
8:49
don't know that they're twins that their other twin exists in the world and somehow in the plot
8:55
You're going to find that through an Italian mob situation. We shall see. We shall see
9:00
And we have obviously as good of a cook as our father is
9:03
Yes. We're finally giving the people what they want. It's still in the works in early development
9:08
but a cook can show with my father. Oh my God. Yeah. So exciting
9:12
Cooking with Pops. Yes. There he goes. We're working on a name so feel free to send
9:16
in suggestions. Ah, yeah. And we've been dying to launch that. He's so talented
9:20
so it's about time you guys see how to cook like him. Yeah. Yeah, and are there any, like, secrets in his cooking that you've learned that you're like, whoa, that's – Yeah
9:28
Tell me. And they will remain secrets. No, I'm joking. I'll be honest with you
9:32
I would just say a secret. It's not really a secret. It's just you got to really, like, you got to have the passion and the patience to really sit there and do it, you know, day after day
9:41
You got to love it. Yeah, and you can't burn the sauce. You can't burn the sauce. You can't burn the sauce more than cutlets, even though the cutlets are thin and crispy
9:48
His cutlets look so good. Like, they're just, like, cooked to perfection
9:52
I could eat a chicken cutlet every day until the day I die if I had the option. How do you guys stay, like, fit and skinny given how, like, your dad is cooking
10:01
Yeah. You know, you got five people showing up to dinner. You're eating leftovers at 2 in the morning
10:05
We've been working out every day consistently for years now. So thank God we've been doing that
10:11
Yeah. You know, and we try to limit – because, like, my father won't cook. He doesn't cook heavy, like, every single day
10:15
And when he does cook, he doesn't use heavy ingredients. It's just a big quantity of food
10:20
Yeah. You know what I mean? So when we're not eating as big throughout those days, the days we're kind of calming it down
10:26
We're not going too crazy and we make sure we work out, drink a lot of water, stuff like that. I think that's a secret is when you use good oils and healthy
10:34
That helps with the food not being too heavy. We've never been to it
10:40
That's ASMR. That's the ASMR trend. Chewing prosciutto. We've never been to Italy yet or Europe, but we hear people who go, they'll eat as much
10:49
We haven't been to Italy yet? No, not yet. I've been meaning to go actually try it where my we'll see that this year
10:55
but we want to go as soon as possible and long story short people say when they go they'll eat four meals a day and they're walking and they eat so much but
11:01
they lose weight it's because they don't put a lot of preservatives and stuff in their food it's like simple natural we actually were talking to someone whose
11:08
husband's Irish she's like in Ireland there's no preservatives so like you
11:11
can't have leftovers the next day because the food goes bad yeah that's why you
11:16
know they don't have a lot of cancers and things like that that's a speculation and also I'm sure the quantities make more sense to them
11:23
you're gonna have to eat what you can you know you've been to Italy before I
11:27
been to Italy before and I'll say like the pasta is so light it's insane you
11:31
ever have a white clam sauce out there it's I can't remember but that's on my
11:36
list of things if I ever go back what I want to have but if you're so right like
11:40
the gelato the pasta the sauce everything is so light and it doesn't
11:44
feel heavy at all and then you're walking everywhere too which you do here in New York as well
11:49
But I feel like you're just, you know, you're not bogged down. Everyone's not as stressed as in New York either
11:54
No. You know, there's a simple way of life out there. You're so stressed out here in New York. Oh, man
11:58
Okay, what's the most New York thing about you? Wow. That's a good question
12:06
Oh, great. I'd say the, I mean, the accent speaks for itself, even though we sometimes don't think
12:11
we have one. Yeah. A lot of the style. I would say like maybe just being so like, not realizing how fast paced our mind is until
12:17
like we leave here and realizing how slow paced everything is outside of New York
12:21
You're like, pick up the pace. Literally. And sometimes I'm like, ah, I guess that's just the New York in me
12:26
Like I'm just so used to like a rapid pace in it. Yeah. Like what's an example? Like if you
12:30
So if I'm out in like say Florida or down south and like you're at a restaurant
12:35
Yep. Everything just tends to move so much slower. Right. In terms of the food coming out to the waiter staff to everything
12:40
It's just how they are. They're not in a rush. Everyone's taking their time. They're enjoying more than we are
12:44
Right. Right. You got to call it for what it is sometimes. And they say hi to you
12:49
Oh, that's a great one. So there we go. I didn't think of that. When you're in New York, it's like if someone will walk past the street and says hi to you
12:55
you're like, what's that guy's problem? When you go out elsewhere, everyone seems to do it way more often
13:01
Yeah, someone is like, they'll say hi, hi, and they'll say, how are you
13:04
And I'm like, who's asking? What's your problem, buddy? Why are you asking me? Why do you want to know
13:09
And you know what, too, what I realized? Outside of New York, people barely use their horns in the cars
13:14
Oh, yeah. Every time you're in, you could literally walk outside in two seconds, you hear ten horns
13:18
Everywhere else, like when we were in Florida the last time a year ago, someone used his
13:22
horn because he really, really had to. It felt like he didn't want to do anything, but he had no other options, so he had to
13:27
use the horn. Here, it's like they'll use a horn at a red light just to remind you that the red light
13:32
is going to change. And when it does turn green, .2 seconds later, you're getting the whole horn
13:37
And it's like, come on, really guys? But that's so New York. It is
13:41
One place, it's the greatest city in the world. I'll stand on that forever. There's nothing like it And
13:45
You know Someone goes Florida moves so slow Bacon and eggs Ooh Yeah
13:51
What about them? Yeah Bacon and eggs No that's the name of the person
13:55
Bacon and eggs Florida moves so slow In Italy It's all freshly grown ingredients
14:00
It tastes so fresh and light Yeah It's true That's it I heard the seafood too Oh the seafood's probably insane
14:05
Right out the Amalfi Coast You gotta take your dad To Italy Do a whole trip
14:09
That'd be insane Yeah We gotta go pops Yeah Cause he's never been We have to go
14:13
Do it for you You got to do it for like show research
14:17
Oh, yeah. Cooking show research. Oh, that'd be amazing. Get some ingredients from there. You got to have a bowl over there
14:22
Yeah. What part of Italy is your family from? So where were Sicilian
14:26
He did the Ancestry recently. No way. Cool. Yeah. Sicilian, Nablidon, right
14:32
Genoese and Calabrese. Calabrese, right? Four. Yeah. Well, four. A lot of people are one or two
14:37
We're four. Like a little bit of a mixture. And it's crazy the difference between like northern and southern Italy
14:41
Yeah, tell me. What is the difference? I don't really know too much. Apparently dialects are crazy
14:47
The dialects? You know, it's like the, so apparently the northern Italians look down on the southern
14:52
Italians in Sicily. Oh, interesting. Because it like a big there like a weird beef between Naples and Sicily Oh okay Because it just such two different cultures One of them is considered proper the other is considered what i read that i don know from first experience though yeah yeah and apparently the cooking styles are different too like in all parts of italy
15:06
the style they cook with complete different style in every different are you from the north or the
15:10
south a little bit of both because geography was from naples i think is in the north and we're part
15:17
napoleon and then we're part sicilian which is in the same is the boot yeah yeah and then calabria
15:23
and Genoa. I'm not too sure where they are, but maybe they're in the middle. You guys are a mix of the whole country
15:28
Yeah, it's so good. We're talking about New York. Talk about Boston
15:34
You know, right now the Knicks are in Boston. Game one. Game one was handled
15:38
We hope they bring the same energy for game two. We hope. Do you think this is the year for the Knicks
15:42
I hope so. I mean, they traded so much. They did so much to get this team. What are they
15:46
Five first-rounders for Bridges. Yeah. And they traded for Towns. And then they got Towns. And the city of New York
15:52
needs the Knicks to win. We need a championship in this city. Right, we didn't have anything during hockey, like football
15:58
The Yankees, I didn't even want to talk about last year with the World Series. It was so heartbreaking
16:01
Oh, the Yankees. Oh, my God. That was hard. That was really tough
16:07
I know a lot of people who went to Game 5 and spent good money just to see the meltdown in person
16:12
They were up like 6-0 in the second inning, and they wound up losing. Yeah. I could say they got too confident
16:19
It was bad. Yeah, and the Dodgers have everybody. They have Otani, Freeman
16:23
It's a crazy team. When was the last time? Oh, Calabria is the boot. Calabria is the boot? Really
16:28
I thought Sisley was the boot. Yeah, Nicholas. We're going to have to fact check you, my friend
16:32
Nicholas Bochy. Geography, not my strong suit either. No, no, no. Bye. Tell me about the Boston-New York rivalry, because you've got your friends, Prosciutto
16:40
Papi, John. Yeah, Chad, and then Tommy. Yeah, Tommy. How did you link up with them, and how did you decide that you wanted to do
16:48
Because that's good content. You know what it is? The Boston-New York rivalry has been around so long
16:53
And we met with Tommy. We followed each other on TikTok, went back and forth. They came to New York
16:57
We met them, realized they were great guys, playing that Boston trip. And it was almost inevitable
17:02
Like, that content is going nowhere. It's been around. It's going to stay around. Yankees, I'm sorry, New York first, Boston
17:08
You've got to think about it. You've got the Yankees, the Red Sox, which is the tailors all this time. And then you've got the Giants and the Patriots
17:13
And they're going to say, oh, Brady, seven rings. But who's the only person he lost to twice
17:17
Eli Manning and the Giants. That's all I've got to say on that subject. and then you tie in
17:21
the Knicks and the Celtics which has been a building rivalry especially they bounced us last year
17:25
it's inevitable there's sandwich orders there's coffee orders out there in Boston
17:32
we call it a hero right and they call it like a spucky a spucky
17:36
I don't know what that is a sub I can't say that sub or a hoagie
17:40
a hoagie is like Jersey that's Jersey loves that what else do they do
17:44
they do a lot of ice coffee ice coffee compared to us who do the hot oh something they don't do
17:48
is when they get their bacon egg and cheeses they don't put salt pepper ketchup on it it's like that's like a frown the
17:52
pound thing eat it like draw yeah diabolical I don't know well yeah they did some trash they did something else I forget oh they're roast
18:03
beef yeah they do you know how likes roast beef it was like what gravy more or less yeah they do roast beef but like mayo and it was actually really good
18:10
good it's called a three but I'm buddy you want a beef three-way you just
18:14
What did you say to me? But it's really good. I can't lie. Yeah
18:18
The thing is, like, Boston thinks they're, like, that they can be, like, rivaling New York
18:24
And I just, I don't see it. I don't think it's, like, at the same level. I don't think so either. You know
18:28
I mean, it's just, you know, as great as a city as Boston is, it's just, like, I just
18:31
New York's the ultimate, like, Mecca. Right. You know what I mean? But Boston has, like, all fans of them, they have so much going on
18:37
And the city of Boston shows us so much love. Yeah. You know? Like, we were saying before, we were on the Patriots field and the..
18:44
Stadium and the Celtics are home court before the Knicks and stuff
18:48
Yeah, it's like, what did you think about Gillette? Cause it's down in Foxborough way outside of the city
18:53
It is far, but compared to being from like New York and having to travel two hours to get to a Yankee game
18:58
an hour and a half to get to MetLife. That's right. I'll take the 30, 40 minutes, you know
19:02
cause it's still not as bad as the hour and a half. It was great. The field was nice. Yeah
19:06
the field was really cool. The suite we stood in was really nice. We went with one of the players at the time's brother and it was great
19:12
We had a great time. Shout out to Matt Judon and Marcus Judon. Yes, the guys right there
19:16
Yeah. No, it's awesome. I mean, you ever think that social media would get you this level of fame
19:23
Honestly, it's... You know what's weird, Natasha? We've always... We were actually talking about this the other day
19:28
As kids, we've always seen ourselves on some type of stage or some type of big screen
19:32
We never knew what it would be. We always had a fascination, whether it was with movies or the film industry
19:37
Even music at one point. And music, yeah. So it's like now it's kind of like a full circle moment, but at the same time, it feels
19:42
so surreal because like certain things we're doing we're like is this real like right you're authentically like being yourself yeah yeah and it's just to see
19:50
the opportunities it brings and then the people we've met like we met idols of
19:53
ours multiple times and hey just some of them are so in tune with us now it's
19:57
like who would have thought it's so surreal it's awesome from like going
20:01
from construction to this level to where you like you've built up a social media
20:05
and went and won the circle on Netflix so we auditioned for that in what mayor
20:14
June yeah 23 a few months before we wanted and this is when we were so in
20:19
the Union and we had this like gut feeling we were like if we get this yeah
20:22
we gotta like go balls to the wall with the stuff yeah yeah that's a big deal
20:27
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right right we eventually did and then coming from there it just opened so many doors for us yeah cuz you know it was a great
20:34
job we just got it at the wrong time in our life unfortunately when we found this social media thing and it started leading to so many opportunities and when
20:42
you were working the job we work in the construction yeah and it was it was hard
20:45
because we want tough schedules and different schedules we would have to plan like an off day in advance we would have to squeeze in content or do our own
20:52
thing for a few weeks to decline a lot of opportunities because we couldn't do them together you know and it got to the point where like we eventually had like
20:59
a financial month that was better than we would have at the job I'd even top pay
21:03
and we were like, you know what, maybe it's time to do this whole time. We were already one foot in and out because as great as a job as it is
21:10
we knew what we were meant to do, like, you know, things in life that wasn't construction, you know what I mean
21:15
So the fact that we did this and now we're doing it full time almost two years now, it's just crazy
21:20
Are there days you ever wake up and you're like, I just don't have it in me, like, host something
21:26
All the time. You've given so much of yourself to the world. Yeah. At times you feel burnt out or you feel like, you know
21:32
But at the same time, then you remind yourself what we used to do for work in certain areas
21:36
Like, we got our first job at 11 years old for $5 an hour sweeping hair at the barbershop
21:40
Wow. You know? And then it's like a bad day is I might not feel like it, but I got to post a video and then do this
21:45
It's like it's not too bad of a day, is it? Yeah. It's like what's 10 minutes of locking in to write something compared to fixing a water main in Harlem right now
21:52
You know what I mean? When you sit down and write something, like, so do you have a notebook where you're writing down ideas
21:57
I got to be honest with you. How does that work? A lot of our skits, like, are not written down
22:01
A lot of them are just a ton. takes like literally one really a lot of them are and then honestly we find when we do write it's
22:07
like wow this came out great you know yeah taking that extra step and really sitting there and like
22:11
watching yeah yeah but we're really we've always had that strong suit one of our strengths has
22:16
always been to write and we used to write music we used to do a lot of things with writing and now
22:19
we're bringing it back for the screenplay and a lot of other things yeah oh that's gotta be like
22:23
that gotta be really fun you kind of build that skill set of writing especially with the screenplay you have to learn how to write a script and that super interesting And it like basically it a new avenue We never really stepped in so it like we learning from scratch
22:35
Scarlatta twins going Hollywood. Yeah, Drake and Josh. Drake and Josh. And it's great writing, because it's also therapeutic writing could be, you know
22:44
And it's awesome. Yeah. We should eat more. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, what do you think
22:49
I think we've got to dive into those rice bowls, no? Yeah, I think so, too. Yeah, I have to. These look so good
22:53
what's your favorite like if you were deserted on an island God forbid right
22:59
and you could only get one piece of food what would it be yeah
23:04
I'm thinking it's either between like a steak and a pasta okay
23:09
I could also like whack down a chicken palm every day of my life every day
23:13
and not get tired of it but every day the pasta though
23:16
I love pasta yeah it's my favorite I love steak yeah I'm not a picky eater
23:21
that's one thing about us we're not picky We'll eat anything. But in terms of one dish, that's tough
23:25
I know. One dish for the rest forever. I'll be lying if I say I can't eat pizza every day
23:31
Pizza? It's out of control. You can eat pizza every day. Yeah. What's your order
23:36
Well, it depends. I mean, Staten Island's got actually amazing pizza. So there's New York
23:42
But I go to Lee's Tavern a lot. It's more of a ball pie style
23:46
Their white clam pie is like the greatest ever. Then you can do a little upside down, a little grandma, a little Sicilian
23:51
I don't do it all. I don't discriminate. White clam pie is so good. So good. It's really good. So good
23:56
I actually, I don't think I've had a white clam pie in the city yet, in Manhattan. Yeah, I don't think I have either
24:00
Yeah. Try that. It's a good rice bowl. Whatever that sauce is, too. It's really good
24:04
Yeah. Let's see what it's about. Yeah. I think it, for me, would have to be, I do love pizza
24:10
Pizza, right? But, like, I also love sushi. Sushi's really good. And I feel like I couldn't get tired of sushi
24:16
Like, I could eat sushi a ton. We've been doing, so I like sushi. I just recently started eating the sashimi because it took a while for me to get into that
24:24
and and now we've been down like a tuna talk talk it like I really good tuna tartar they have steak
24:32
tartar that's a star we had like some type of carpaccio the other day I don't know how to eat
24:37
it I was like confused I was like what do we do how do we eat this thing but it was really good
24:42
But yeah, sushi is really good too. It's so good. What's your favorite roll
24:47
I like eel avocado. What do you feel about eel? Do you like eel
24:51
I never had eel. Yeah, eel is really good. I like it. I like the eel sauce. I'll always go for an eel avocado
24:56
But I also like shrimp tempura rolls. Oh, I love the shrimp tempura rolls. Yeah
25:00
I'll tell you, we've been doing a lot of spicy carne rolls lately. Ooh, okay
25:04
Philadelphia with the cream cheese. With the cream cheese. That's so good. But we went to this restaurant
25:09
What was that? Gabriella's with the steakhouse. Oh, yeah, yeah. The raw bar. Like now, raw bars, we were never big with
25:15
I think as you get older, too, your taste buds change. You start liking things you didn't like
25:18
At least for me. A little bit more refined, maybe. Things you try. I've been going crazy with the raw bars
25:23
Yeah. Ta-ta. They had some type of surf and turf roll. Ooh
25:27
It was like a Wagyu beef, and they put a lobster over it. They take a torch to the Wagyu
25:32
Put a little caviar on top. We went to Zuma. You ever hear of Zuma? It sounds familiar
25:37
Where is that at? They're all over. I think we were on like 30-something. We went to the one over here. We're like 40th Street, and it was really good
25:42
They did that like a torched salmon roll. I was like, oh my God. They've got the Bondi across the street here at Fox
25:48
It's really good. They do like a seared Wagyu type roll. It's so good
25:53
It's just adds to it. What about, are you big with steaks by any chance? Steak houses? I do like steaks, yeah
25:57
There's a lot over here. There's a lot here. Obviously, when I go to Texas, the steaks there are just so good too
26:03
Texas barbecue is probably. Oh my God, Texas barbecue. I've had a really hard time finding a good barbecue place here in New York
26:11
I got you. Yeah, hometown in Brooklyn. Red Hook, Brooklyn, hometown barbecue
26:15
Hometown barbecue. Yeah, really good. Oh, my God. Let us know. We'll get the orders. We'll do another one of these
26:20
We'll bring the hometown barbecue. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Someone's asking, someone asked, is Nikki single
26:27
Oh, yeah, yeah. And then I think they retracted the message. There it goes
26:35
I am whoever you are. Texas is good for two things, barbecue and giving us Jalen Brunson
26:41
Hey. Oh, yeah, because he was in Dallas. He was? He was on the Mavericks. Oh, really
26:46
He was on the Mavericks for a few years, and then he started going off, and then the year before he got really good, he signed to the Knicks
26:51
Uh-huh. His Nikki single, oh, she didn't retract it. She has to, yeah
26:55
But she doubled down. Yeah. Doubled down on it. She wants to know. L.A. barbecue, honestly
27:01
L.A. barbecue. Where is that at? I don't know how to feel about that. Los Angeles? L.A
27:05
Like, in Los Angeles, yeah. I don't know. I would try that. When we went to LA, I don't really know
27:10
The food was good, but I don't really know what they're known for out there. I want to try the tacos
27:14
I think Mexican food. Like their tacos. Like, you know, out in San Diego, the tacos are really good
27:21
Los Angeles, I've had really good Mexican food there, too. I love Spanish food
27:25
But, like, West Coast, East Coast, I don't understand West Coast. How do you feel
27:30
Have you spent some time on the West Coast? I mean, you talk about a slow lifestyle
27:35
So different. So we've only been to the West Coast. We went to California. for the wrap party for the Circle in October
27:40
And then I went to the West Coast like two and a half years ago. I went to Seattle when I did the Mariners video for them
27:47
Mariners. The Mariners, yeah. And I'll tell you what, from Seattle, I guess they get their fish from wherever
27:53
like up by Alaska or whatever oceans over there. I don't really know the geography once again
27:57
And I would go to the, it was called the Pike Street Market. I would walk down there every day
28:01
and get like a fresh either shrimp cocktail, stone crab cocktail, anything. The seafood was so fresh
28:06
Fresh. On the West Coast, It was insane. I was getting like salmon BLT's it was amazing the sushi out there the sushi out there was insane
28:14
Wow, yeah, it was really sick and now when we went to California We were just so busy only there for a few days. I don't know the taste of food
28:20
But I would love to taste the taco spots out where were they filming the circle we filmed that in Atlanta in Atlanta
28:25
Okay, that was our first time in Atlanta. Yeah, that had to be crazy keeping that a secret
28:30
We you know the craziest part about it was obviously us doing it, but we knew we won and
28:35
and everybody was asking us the same. You had to know if you won or not
28:39
And we were like, no, honestly, I think they do it live. Oh, wait, are you serious
28:43
We were messing with them? We were messing around like, oh, this year they did it differently. We won't know until it airs on TV
28:48
But we were cool. We were NDA'd out the ass, obviously. Yeah, of course. But you guys, you catfished everyone
28:55
Yeah. It's Gianna. It was wild. We did a good job. A better job than I think we both thought we would be
29:03
Yeah, yeah, yeah. that's um and then they used what was the tool that they use that was like
29:09
different the disruptor yeah the disrupter that say you know cuz when I was watching you guys I was like oh no and
29:16
then the disruptor I'm like that was I mean that was like God sent yeah that
29:21
was insane cuz it was never done before and then they're telling you it's a good or a bad thing yeah on night one we're rated last and we're like what's the
29:27
easiest thing to someone a block the person who's rated less right right they don't know anybody yeah like we got to try to save ourselves I guess it works
29:34
So much strategy that you have to play with these kinds of games too. It's all about social media and I'll tell you what though Natasha
29:41
It's about strategy But we also knew when if our strategy wasn't worked or we had to like like do a 360 and do something else
29:48
We weren't sticking to our guns too much where we would get stuck in a certain situation and not be able to like change
29:54
What was in our minds, you know Exactly, you need to improvise like a lot of the people I believe
29:59
They all played a great game. Yeah, but some people stuck too much to that strategy and it cost them in terms of winning because
30:06
Yeah, they didn't know how to improvise as well. You got to be able to go with the flow Got to be able to change it if need be yeah
30:12
What was it like how long were you guys stuck in an apartment? Three weeks three weeks. We were down there total we were in the in the apartments filming for two
30:21
So you get sick of each other. I mean there were days we were freaking going nuts. Yeah
30:25
to be completely honest. Like, oh my God. Because you can't have your phone, right? No contact with the outside world
30:31
For three weeks. We were like... No TV. We were reading books. We must have read five books each
30:35
We've never done that in our lives. Because the only way to go to bed was like you had like a nightstand with a lamp
30:41
And like there was no lights. So you had a book and like a nightstand and a lamp
30:45
And it felt like you were in the 1800s. But it was helping us sleep. What books did you guys read
30:50
We read two David Goggins books. Okay. Which helped us lock in
30:54
Yeah, lock in. I think tremendously. I read, what was the book about that guy
30:57
with the CIA? The scam artist. Chasing Phil. Chasing Phil. And we read
31:02
and we read, I read a book, I think you might have read it too about George Washington's
31:07
secret spy ring that helped win the American Revolution. God, what a range. Which was crazy. Yeah, it was a weird range of books
31:12
It was a weird range of books. Like push-ups. Oh, it was just a crazy time
31:16
Playing darts. Yeah, trying not to go nuts. Yeah. Chess. Would you do another reality show
31:20
like that again? Yeah, yeah. Definitely. I would, I would. I would definitely
31:24
think we have a good chance. People always go, I'll go on Big Brother and stuff, but the thing about Big Brother
31:28
is it's like three months. I don't know if I can do three months. That's a long time. That's a while
31:32
You know what I just watched? I just started Battle Camp. It's new. Oh. A few people from the circle
31:36
How was it? I didn't watch it yet. It's pretty good. It's on Netflix? It's on Netflix. Okay. I think me and him would be really good
31:41
It's only one winner, though. So we'd have to go again. I mean, we'd split it. I mean, still, yeah
31:45
But you go, I go. Me and Nikki, I think we're pretty athletic
31:49
I think we do great on battle camp. Oh, it's like athlete stuff? Yeah, it's like physical challenges
31:53
Oh, because Taylor LeJuan was on it. Yeah, he's a host. Oh. He's hosting
31:58
Yeah, like the ninja show. Ninja Warrior? Yeah, where you got to do like crazy athletic obstacle course
32:05
It's so tough. It's so tough to do. Oh, my God. You got to be strong
32:10
Someone asks, what's the best part about being a twin? That's a good one
32:16
26 years to answer that question. Having, I don't know. I guess like having like
32:24
you do got like a best friend for everything. Yeah. We just do a lot of things together
32:28
Yeah. That's so nice. Similar interests with everything. Yeah, you know. And it's like having a twin
32:34
I would say is, I don't know because we're only siblings, but I feel like it's the closest sibling relationship
32:38
you could get compared to just having like an older brother or an older sister. Right. You know, we have the same interests
32:43
We came out of the womb together. One minute earlier though, You're one minute old
32:48
Haven't heard the end of that one in 26 years. And that's one of the most common questions
32:53
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you get like twin, what is it called
32:58
Telepathy. Telepathy. Telepathy. Telepathy where like, you know, you're thinking the same thing the other one's thinking
33:03
I say it all the time. We don't have it in like the way people think like, oh, I touch your shoulder
33:06
You're going to feel it. Yeah. But it's like an understanding in like the universe
33:11
Yeah. It's like a weird twin thing that like I feel like only twins will really get like, you know
33:15
We could kind of sense in a sense when one of us one of us is off a little bit
33:19
Yeah, because we got like that weird Language and that'll help us like in any challenges we face, you know, we could overcome it because we yeah
33:27
That's good. No, I'm gonna let's I think we should do the pasta
33:34
Yeah, what kind of pasta do you guys usually like request dad to make
33:37
I mean anything that pops be doing is usually hitting. Yeah. You can't question the master
33:45
And I mean, are you guys cooking too or is it mostly dad? Nah, it's mostly dad
33:49
Okay But for the cooking show we plan on getting a lot more involved to say the least Yeah Oh you are He over there like yeah okay He over there sweating like I don know
34:01
Yeah. Is he like when? I don't know. We shall see. We don't cook enough
34:06
Yeah. Come on, pops. It didn't even make the final cut. It was a tomahawk, dad
34:13
Wait, what'd you guys do with it? You burned it? We butchered this tomahawk like real bad
34:18
Yeah. It got to the point like it was utterly embarrassing. They cut it out of the show
34:24
I think they didn't use the end when we undercooked the thing. Yeah, no
34:28
But it was... But dad knew the truth. I told him and I was like, Pops, if that were to add, you would have been extremely disappointed
34:33
That's so embarrassing. Do you know what it was though with a tomahawk steak? It's like a... Yeah, it was bad
34:37
But it's like a thick steak. So it's like if you never cooked it before... Natasha, I was going to say, you do the twirl
34:41
Do you know how to do the twirl? Yeah, tell me. Is it like... Are you doing it in the spoon
34:46
You got to do it in the spoon. Okay, you gotta do it in the spoon. And you get way more twirl with that
34:50
Yeah. I'm multitasking. I'm going just with the fork here. Yeah, I usually just make a fool myself
34:55
Okay, that's good. See, it could unravel on you like mine. As I was saying, when you cook a regular steak, it's not as thick as a tomahawk
35:02
So the tomahawk was like burning on the outside, so we thought it was done. And then when you cut into it, it's raw because it's such a thick steak
35:08
So we started throwing at that point. We cubed it up and we're throwing piece by piece back on the grill
35:12
Oh, because you're cutting it up. Yeah, it was there. Thank God they didn't show that. You're definitely not supposed to do that
35:19
You're supposed to cut and eat and cut and eat. That's the way. It was bad
35:23
Where did you get a tomahawk from? They gave us a tomahawk. Oh, they did
35:27
Shout out to whoever's idea that was. One of the nights? They thought it was a good idea
35:31
It would be a fun bid, and it was. Shout out to Rosanna. It's a good pasta. Yeah, you like the pasta
35:35
It's good. What else do we have to try? That and that, too
35:40
Oh, yeah. Chicken parm. Chicken parm never hurt nobody. Gotta get the chicken parm
35:45
Yeah. But yeah, you know, it's cool because we actually did, we can't talk about it much either, but we did another show that should hopefully release at the end of this year outside of reality TV
35:54
So hopefully it shows people that we could do like scripted stuff too. Yeah
35:57
What is that? What's that one? Is it on? We can't say much
36:01
Okay, okay. But it's outside of? It's not like a reality show
36:05
It's more of like a scripted show. We actually had to do an acting audition to get it
36:09
No way. Okay, that's cool. Do you know like what the, how did you have to prepare for that role
36:15
Because I feel like that's a lot different than kind of like what you're doing with
36:20
It's more improv when you do your videos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So for that, basically, you've got to just kind of really take the time and basically study the script and study it to the best of your ability and get in there
36:29
And also the same thing that we were saying before is be flexible and coachable. If someone on there is saying, okay, that was good, but do it this way, kind of don't stick to your guns
36:37
If they're giving you that advice, take their advice and implement it. You've got to follow the direction
36:40
Yeah, and memorize scripts. Is that hard to do? That's tough, yeah
36:44
I don't got the best memory. To say the least, neither of us
36:49
You know, but, you know, it wasn't crazy. It wasn't like an overwhelming amount of lines
36:55
You know, it was something where we were able to, you know, work towards. And thankfully, we wound up killing the audition
37:01
We got the part. Is that eggplant part? It is. I think so, yeah
37:04
Oh, wow. Really good. Is that chicken then? It could be. It might be the meat part. Yeah
37:10
Okay, can you tell, like, where this is coming out on or not yet? Not yet. Okay. Okay
37:14
I can't wait to find out. We're cleared and we're able to promote it
37:19
We'll come on and promote it. Come on. We're real excited for it
37:24
We shot it around where we shoot at. End of 24. Hopefully it comes out this year
37:32
I think it's going to. Are you looking to do with the screenplay
37:36
and acting? Do you feel like that's the next frontier? Where do you think
37:40
Social media, do you feel like what's the next big thing for social media
37:44
There a lot of people who I think are going to stay in that social media lane forever who are okay with that That they want to do and It people like us We love the social media But we as since young kids we been fascinated with movies and it always something we wanted to do so
37:58
We want to get our foot in the door and yeah These other things because we want to do a lot of things, you know, yeah, but there's gonna obviously
38:04
Yeah, but there's gonna be those people who just want to do the social media and that's completely fine
38:08
Yeah, some people might not want to do movies, you know, because acting and stuff like that But pairing for a role, and then if they want you to, you got to get like a physical appearance difference for the role
38:16
If you got to gain or lose weight. Like, there's a lot of things that go into it. Yeah. And the dedication of filming, you know
38:20
Especially today with this whole, like, the fact that you're able to make such a living off social media
38:25
So certain people could be like, I make X, Y, Z a month doing what I want to do
38:29
I don't want to go to a movie set for 12 hours because movie sets could be boring. Yeah
38:32
And I don't want to enjoy that. There's a lot of downtime. A lot of downtime. Yeah. And you'd be amazed, because we did a few short films as well
38:38
You'd be amazed how many shots and angles just for one scene that go on
38:44
Oh, and it's like repetitive again and again. Same thing from this angle than that. It's amazing
38:48
But that's something we've always loved. You got the reach. Yeah, I got the reach
38:54
What's your favorite movie? That's a great question. That's one of the hardest questions that anyone could answer
39:03
Can I give you like top five? Yeah, tell us top five. Good Will Hunting. Yep, that's a classic
39:07
with Jack Nicholson okay I mean it's it's it's cliche but if I didn't include
39:14
the Godfather to we'll want in here would be crazy that's that's good I really
39:19
like I just showed him at the end of the day tombstone RP Val Kilmer I love the movie true romance that was Quentin Tarantino's
39:27
script that he sold and it's a sick sick Tarantino movies are just incredible
39:31
so the movie true romance I like because it was Tarantino script he sold it
39:37
and the other director casted an amazing cast and James Gandolfini who obviously played
39:42
Tony Soprano this was like his one villain role that they used
39:46
when they and they kept in mind when they were auditioning for The Sopranos they used that as reference yeah wow
39:51
and on top of just him that movie was amazing it really was what else
39:55
I'm trying to think of even phenomenal movies oh The Iron Claw was phenomenal
39:59
I wouldn't say one of my favorite of all time but that was phenomenal The Departed
40:02
are you a cop literally The Departed that's a lot as I was telling I was telling
40:07
The Departed's Amazing. There's so many. We could go on forever. So many
40:11
How about you? I mean, I like those movies. I love the action movies
40:17
I really like even thought-provoking movies. What have I seen? I watched Conclave recently
40:24
Did you watch that? I heard of it. I never watched it. Yeah, and I watched Substance
40:27
I went through watching the different Oscar-nominated winning movies. I watched Anora
40:35
