1-on-1 with The Scarlotta Twins | Talking with Natasha

Welcome everybody talking with Natasha live with the Scarlata twins

How you guys doing? We're doing great. Thanks for having us, Natasha. Happy to be here

And we've got, look, I come to feed my guests. Yes, you do

I've got some incredible Italian food for you guys from Fresco Biscato

Have you ever eaten at Rosanna's restaurant before? Never ate there before, so this is going to be our first time here

Okay, but you worked construction outside of a restaurant? Yes, like two and a half, three years ago

and I was outside. We were doing like a water main break and I'm looking and I'm like

this restaurant looks amazing and I actually seen Rosanna's sister and I was like, I got to eat there one day

and here we are. It's so crazy that you guys started in construction

How long ago was that? I started about six months before him

2022. But before that, we were actually on Wall Street for three years. Oh, doing what

Cash advances. Yeah, so they're basically the high interest business lens. No collateral

Unregulated industry. Right. So you guys have done so many different jobs

At what point do you start to think, like, I could post on social media

How does that go through your mind? To be honest, it's like it never, like, just jumped in our mind

We did Vine, like, a long time ago. Vine? Yeah. I miss Vine

Vine was so fun. Oh, yeah. Pre-TikTok. 2013. We were young. And that's what we started

We stopped. Years later went by. And we just kind of did it as a joke and then stayed consistent

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

Just your rants about the – Because we always ranted as things were expensive as they were

And then when they started getting really, really expensive, just adds fuel to the fire. Right, right

Then we had our accents on top of it. I'll never forget. It was the car insurance video I did

It was just literally – I was being honest. Yeah. And that blew up so nuts that we ended up doing a digital Fox article

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

So it's been such a sick ride. Yeah. We've got people also commenting

Oh, that's a good question. What's the perfect breakfast sandwich order? All right

All right. You ready, Josh? Bacon, egg, and cheese. All right. On a roll, not a bagel

Because when you have it on a bagel, everything falls apart. Right. You want the flavor consistent

You need it. You need it. Soul pepper ketchup. Well done, bacon. Well done, bacon

and possibly runny eggs because you don't want a dry egg. No. No one wants a dry egg

And if you're feeling nuts, a fried hash brown. What about ketchup? Salt, pepper, ketchup

Okay, salt, pepper, ketchup. Yes, PK or hot sauce if you're not a ketchup person

On a roll. On a roll. Okay. The bagel, you take a bite

goff a bit, even with a sausage, egg, and cheese, it's sliding out the back. Oh, no

It's going everywhere. Then once you have the consistency off, the whole thing's off

You might as well throw it out. Have like a good... I would never

but you might as well. What do you love about Staten Island

Because I think that's why you've also taken off your accents, everything about Staten Island

What do you love about growing up there? It's one of the most unique places of all time

the amount of characters that come from there, including us. I'll say something

We do have a very good support system, believe it or not, coming out of there

So it's a lot to love. Yeah, your neighbors love you? They do. They're forced to watch us a lot

Well, yeah, because you do a lot of your content on your back porch too. Yeah, we do it anywhere we can

or just record something. I would say Staten Island, it's a small population

but it has a lot of talent. It definitely has a lot of underrated talent. A lot of up-and-coming people, too

A lot of legendary people who came from there already. Shout out to Wu-Tang Clan

Shout out to Pete Davidson. Teddy Atlas. Teddy Atlas, legend. A lot of people

I'm probably forgetting a few, but it's so unique. Have you ever hung out with Pete Davidson

I have, but not with him. I've hung out in the vicinity with him. Where does he live

in relation to your neighborhood? I think Pete's what, in Brooklyn now? He might be on the North Shore

Yeah, I don't know where he's not now, I think he grew up like five ten minutes from oh no way

Yeah, I think he's in like that. I think I'm not a hundred percent sure around great kills. Yeah, so I heard

Do you have people like trying to force their way into your Sunday dinners or like want to get invited

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

I that's like the thing I see how much food that you're making how many people come to your

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

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

We got a dad cam on him right now What's up pops

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

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

Like, he's amazing. He's so good. He cooks with so much love that that's the difference maker, I think

Yeah, yeah. No, I think you feel that passion. You feel that love

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

Everyone's biased a little bit. know but there's nothing like waking up on a Sunday and smelling that sauce okay

you guys want to eat yeah what's the plan of attack here what are we gonna do

so you got the focaccia there's a little anti-positive start with the anti and the

rice balls and then we start on training work our way to your entries

that's a good plan do that how should we put it on how we go about this yeah I

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

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

We're flying out their weddings on Saturday. We're so excited to be that's so crazy that they met on the circle

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

So when they did like when they everyone sees each other for the first time

That's when you could like see it in their eyes. Oh, yeah, and that even was like funny senior days

I know it. They're great. They're great people. Yeah, the best, you know, and we still they said do keep in contact

Yes, we still do we've been busy. Maybe we should have kept in a little better contact over the last few weeks

But yeah, we do we love them all I said we were real busy, but we we can't wait to party it up

I mean, yeah, Newark allows us to get to Texas. That would be Because the freeway apparently new it's not looking too hard

That was little Fig Jam. It was Fig Jam. It's so good. It was little Fig Jam

I love Fig Jam. It's so good. So you're flying through Newark

Yes. But we got to change that flight. United, we got to change it. You're going to Texas

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

it out. Yeah. I will do it for the cause. Maybe get like a Stetson. I think I could pull it off

You could pull it off. You know, you do the boots that are like, you know, underneath your suit pants like that

and I think it'd be get some nice ostrich leather me that's real yeah

that's a thing I'm sure that they it's Texas you could probably get it in

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

I actually did about... Wow, it's like... Wait, which one is that so I can avoid it

It's like the red one. Oh, the red, okay. I did about 8 to 10 stand-up sets

It's been a while, maybe over two years ago now. Yeah, I loved it

It's just right now, I'll be honest with you, Stand-ups are growing. You can't cheat it

And that's something you got to put the reps in. I got my goals and focus on other things right now

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

Imagine two twins on the stage at the same time doing stand-up. That could be a cool aspect

But right now, we have a few things on our plate we want to do before attacking stand-up

Yeah, so let's wait. Let's talk about that. You've got some projects. We've got a couple

You're writing a screenplay? That we are. Yes, we are. Okay, tell me, what is it about

so it's so it's really like a Italian mob comedy to put it bluntly it's it's so

it's so deep but it's like an Italian mob comedy version of the parent trap

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

yeah so it's like we know parent trap with Lindsay Lohan is like the two twins

don't know that they're twins that their other twin exists in the world and somehow in the plot

You're going to find that through an Italian mob situation. We shall see. We shall see

And we have obviously as good of a cook as our father is

Yes. We're finally giving the people what they want. It's still in the works in early development

but a cook can show with my father. Oh my God. Yeah. So exciting

Cooking with Pops. Yes. There he goes. We're working on a name so feel free to send

in suggestions. Ah, yeah. And we've been dying to launch that. He's so talented

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

Tell me. And they will remain secrets. No, I'm joking. I'll be honest with you

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

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

His cutlets look so good. Like, they're just, like, cooked to perfection

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

Yeah. You know, you got five people showing up to dinner. You're eating leftovers at 2 in the morning

We've been working out every day consistently for years now. So thank God we've been doing that

Yeah. You know, and we try to limit – because, like, my father won't cook. He doesn't cook heavy, like, every single day

And when he does cook, he doesn't use heavy ingredients. It's just a big quantity of food

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

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

That helps with the food not being too heavy. We've never been to it

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

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

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

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

husband's Irish she's like in Ireland there's no preservatives so like you

can't have leftovers the next day because the food goes bad yeah that's why you

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

you're gonna have to eat what you can you know you've been to Italy before I

been to Italy before and I'll say like the pasta is so light it's insane you

ever have a white clam sauce out there it's I can't remember but that's on my

list of things if I ever go back what I want to have but if you're so right like

the gelato the pasta the sauce everything is so light and it doesn't

feel heavy at all and then you're walking everywhere too which you do here in New York as well

But I feel like you're just, you know, you're not bogged down. Everyone's not as stressed as in New York either

No. You know, there's a simple way of life out there. You're so stressed out here in New York. Oh, man

Okay, what's the most New York thing about you? Wow. That's a good question

Oh, great. I'd say the, I mean, the accent speaks for itself, even though we sometimes don't think

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

like we leave here and realizing how slow paced everything is outside of New York

You're like, pick up the pace. Literally. And sometimes I'm like, ah, I guess that's just the New York in me

Like I'm just so used to like a rapid pace in it. Yeah. Like what's an example? Like if you

So if I'm out in like say Florida or down south and like you're at a restaurant

Yep. Everything just tends to move so much slower. Right. In terms of the food coming out to the waiter staff to everything

It's just how they are. They're not in a rush. Everyone's taking their time. They're enjoying more than we are

Right. Right. You got to call it for what it is sometimes. And they say hi to you

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

you're like, what's that guy's problem? When you go out elsewhere, everyone seems to do it way more often

Yeah, someone is like, they'll say hi, hi, and they'll say, how are you

And I'm like, who's asking? What's your problem, buddy? Why are you asking me? Why do you want to know

And you know what, too, what I realized? Outside of New York, people barely use their horns in the cars

Oh, yeah. Every time you're in, you could literally walk outside in two seconds, you hear ten horns

Everywhere else, like when we were in Florida the last time a year ago, someone used his

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

use the horn. Here, it's like they'll use a horn at a red light just to remind you that the red light

is going to change. And when it does turn green, .2 seconds later, you're getting the whole horn

And it's like, come on, really guys? But that's so New York. It is

One place, it's the greatest city in the world. I'll stand on that forever. There's nothing like it And

You know Someone goes Florida moves so slow Bacon and eggs Ooh Yeah

What about them? Yeah Bacon and eggs No that's the name of the person

Bacon and eggs Florida moves so slow In Italy It's all freshly grown ingredients

It tastes so fresh and light Yeah It's true That's it I heard the seafood too Oh the seafood's probably insane

Right out the Amalfi Coast You gotta take your dad To Italy Do a whole trip

That'd be insane Yeah We gotta go pops Yeah Cause he's never been We have to go

Do it for you You got to do it for like show research

Oh, yeah. Cooking show research. Oh, that'd be amazing. Get some ingredients from there. You got to have a bowl over there

Yeah. What part of Italy is your family from? So where were Sicilian

He did the Ancestry recently. No way. Cool. Yeah. Sicilian, Nablidon, right

Genoese and Calabrese. Calabrese, right? Four. Yeah. Well, four. A lot of people are one or two

We're four. Like a little bit of a mixture. And it's crazy the difference between like northern and southern Italy

Yeah, tell me. What is the difference? I don't really know too much. Apparently dialects are crazy

The dialects? You know, it's like the, so apparently the northern Italians look down on the southern

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

the style they cook with complete different style in every different are you from the north or the

south a little bit of both because geography was from naples i think is in the north and we're part

napoleon and then we're part sicilian which is in the same is the boot yeah yeah and then calabria

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

Yeah, it's so good. We're talking about New York. Talk about Boston

You know, right now the Knicks are in Boston. Game one. Game one was handled

We hope they bring the same energy for game two. We hope. Do you think this is the year for the Knicks

I hope so. I mean, they traded so much. They did so much to get this team. What are they

Five first-rounders for Bridges. Yeah. And they traded for Towns. And then they got Towns. And the city of New York

needs the Knicks to win. We need a championship in this city. Right, we didn't have anything during hockey, like football

The Yankees, I didn't even want to talk about last year with the World Series. It was so heartbreaking

Oh, the Yankees. Oh, my God. That was hard. That was really tough

I know a lot of people who went to Game 5 and spent good money just to see the meltdown in person

They were up like 6-0 in the second inning, and they wound up losing. Yeah. I could say they got too confident

It was bad. Yeah, and the Dodgers have everybody. They have Otani, Freeman

It's a crazy team. When was the last time? Oh, Calabria is the boot. Calabria is the boot? Really

I thought Sisley was the boot. Yeah, Nicholas. We're going to have to fact check you, my friend

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

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

Because that's good content. You know what it is? The Boston-New York rivalry has been around so long

And we met with Tommy. We followed each other on TikTok, went back and forth. They came to New York

We met them, realized they were great guys, playing that Boston trip. And it was almost inevitable

Like, that content is going nowhere. It's been around. It's going to stay around. Yankees, I'm sorry, New York first, Boston

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

And they're going to say, oh, Brady, seven rings. But who's the only person he lost to twice

Eli Manning and the Giants. That's all I've got to say on that subject. and then you tie in

the Knicks and the Celtics which has been a building rivalry especially they bounced us last year

it's inevitable there's sandwich orders there's coffee orders out there in Boston

we call it a hero right and they call it like a spucky a spucky

I don't know what that is a sub I can't say that sub or a hoagie

a hoagie is like Jersey that's Jersey loves that what else do they do

they do a lot of ice coffee ice coffee compared to us who do the hot oh something they don't do

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

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

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

good it's called a three but I'm buddy you want a beef three-way you just

What did you say to me? But it's really good. I can't lie. Yeah

The thing is, like, Boston thinks they're, like, that they can be, like, rivaling New York

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

I mean, it's just, you know, as great as a city as Boston is, it's just, like, I just

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

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..

Stadium and the Celtics are home court before the Knicks and stuff

Yeah, it's like, what did you think about Gillette? Cause it's down in Foxborough way outside of the city

It is far, but compared to being from like New York and having to travel two hours to get to a Yankee game

an hour and a half to get to MetLife. That's right. I'll take the 30, 40 minutes, you know

cause it's still not as bad as the hour and a half. It was great. The field was nice. Yeah

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

We had a great time. Shout out to Matt Judon and Marcus Judon. Yes, the guys right there

Yeah. No, it's awesome. I mean, you ever think that social media would get you this level of fame

Honestly, it's... You know what's weird, Natasha? We've always... We were actually talking about this the other day

As kids, we've always seen ourselves on some type of stage or some type of big screen

We never knew what it would be. We always had a fascination, whether it was with movies or the film industry

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

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

the opportunities it brings and then the people we've met like we met idols of

ours multiple times and hey just some of them are so in tune with us now it's

like who would have thought it's so surreal it's awesome from like going

from construction to this level to where you like you've built up a social media

and went and won the circle on Netflix so we auditioned for that in what mayor

June yeah 23 a few months before we wanted and this is when we were so in

the Union and we had this like gut feeling we were like if we get this yeah

we gotta like go balls to the wall with the stuff yeah yeah that's a big deal

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

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

you were working the job we work in the construction yeah and it was it was hard

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

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

a financial month that was better than we would have at the job I'd even top pay

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

we knew what we were meant to do, like, you know, things in life that wasn't construction, you know what I mean

So the fact that we did this and now we're doing it full time almost two years now, it's just crazy

Are there days you ever wake up and you're like, I just don't have it in me, like, host something

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

But at the same time, then you remind yourself what we used to do for work in certain areas

Like, we got our first job at 11 years old for $5 an hour sweeping hair at the barbershop

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

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

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

I got to be honest with you. How does that work? A lot of our skits, like, are not written down

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

like wow this came out great you know yeah taking that extra step and really sitting there and like

watching yeah yeah but we're really we've always had that strong suit one of our strengths has

always been to write and we used to write music we used to do a lot of things with writing and now

we're bringing it back for the screenplay and a lot of other things yeah oh that's gotta be like

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

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

And it's awesome. Yeah. We should eat more. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, what do you think

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

what's your favorite like if you were deserted on an island God forbid right

and you could only get one piece of food what would it be yeah

I'm thinking it's either between like a steak and a pasta okay

I could also like whack down a chicken palm every day of my life every day

and not get tired of it but every day the pasta though

I love pasta yeah it's my favorite I love steak yeah I'm not a picky eater

that's one thing about us we're not picky We'll eat anything. But in terms of one dish, that's tough

I know. One dish for the rest forever. I'll be lying if I say I can't eat pizza every day

Pizza? It's out of control. You can eat pizza every day. Yeah. What's your order

Well, it depends. I mean, Staten Island's got actually amazing pizza. So there's New York

But I go to Lee's Tavern a lot. It's more of a ball pie style

Their white clam pie is like the greatest ever. Then you can do a little upside down, a little grandma, a little Sicilian

I don't do it all. I don't discriminate. White clam pie is so good. So good. It's really good. So good

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

Yeah. Try that. It's a good rice bowl. Whatever that sauce is, too. It's really good

Yeah. Let's see what it's about. Yeah. I think it, for me, would have to be, I do love pizza

Pizza, right? But, like, I also love sushi. Sushi's really good. And I feel like I couldn't get tired of sushi

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

and and now we've been down like a tuna talk talk it like I really good tuna tartar they have steak

tartar that's a star we had like some type of carpaccio the other day I don't know how to eat

it I was like confused I was like what do we do how do we eat this thing but it was really good

But yeah, sushi is really good too. It's so good. What's your favorite roll

I like eel avocado. What do you feel about eel? Do you like eel

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

But I also like shrimp tempura rolls. Oh, I love the shrimp tempura rolls. Yeah

I'll tell you, we've been doing a lot of spicy carne rolls lately. Ooh, okay

Philadelphia with the cream cheese. With the cream cheese. That's so good. But we went to this restaurant

What was that? Gabriella's with the steakhouse. Oh, yeah, yeah. The raw bar. Like now, raw bars, we were never big with

I think as you get older, too, your taste buds change. You start liking things you didn't like

At least for me. A little bit more refined, maybe. Things you try. I've been going crazy with the raw bars

Yeah. Ta-ta. They had some type of surf and turf roll. Ooh

It was like a Wagyu beef, and they put a lobster over it. They take a torch to the Wagyu

Put a little caviar on top. We went to Zuma. You ever hear of Zuma? It sounds familiar

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

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

It's really good. They do like a seared Wagyu type roll. It's so good

It's just adds to it. What about, are you big with steaks by any chance? Steak houses? I do like steaks, yeah

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

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

I got you. Yeah, hometown in Brooklyn. Red Hook, Brooklyn, hometown barbecue

Hometown barbecue. Yeah, really good. Oh, my God. Let us know. We'll get the orders. We'll do another one of these

We'll bring the hometown barbecue. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my God. Someone's asking, someone asked, is Nikki single

Oh, yeah, yeah. And then I think they retracted the message. There it goes

I am whoever you are. Texas is good for two things, barbecue and giving us Jalen Brunson

Hey. Oh, yeah, because he was in Dallas. He was? He was on the Mavericks. Oh, really

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

Uh-huh. His Nikki single, oh, she didn't retract it. She has to, yeah

But she doubled down. Yeah. Doubled down on it. She wants to know. L.A. barbecue, honestly

L.A. barbecue. Where is that at? I don't know how to feel about that. Los Angeles? L.A

Like, in Los Angeles, yeah. I don't know. I would try that. When we went to LA, I don't really know

The food was good, but I don't really know what they're known for out there. I want to try the tacos

I think Mexican food. Like their tacos. Like, you know, out in San Diego, the tacos are really good

Los Angeles, I've had really good Mexican food there, too. I love Spanish food

But, like, West Coast, East Coast, I don't understand West Coast. How do you feel

Have you spent some time on the West Coast? I mean, you talk about a slow lifestyle

So different. So we've only been to the West Coast. We went to California. for the wrap party for the Circle in October

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

Mariners. The Mariners, yeah. And I'll tell you what, from Seattle, I guess they get their fish from wherever

like up by Alaska or whatever oceans over there. I don't really know the geography once again

And I would go to the, it was called the Pike Street Market. I would walk down there every day

and get like a fresh either shrimp cocktail, stone crab cocktail, anything. The seafood was so fresh

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

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

But I would love to taste the taco spots out where were they filming the circle we filmed that in Atlanta in Atlanta

Okay, that was our first time in Atlanta. Yeah, that had to be crazy keeping that a secret

We you know the craziest part about it was obviously us doing it, but we knew we won and

and everybody was asking us the same. You had to know if you won or not

And we were like, no, honestly, I think they do it live. Oh, wait, are you serious

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

But we were cool. We were NDA'd out the ass, obviously. Yeah, of course. But you guys, you catfished everyone

Yeah. It's Gianna. It was wild. We did a good job. A better job than I think we both thought we would be

Yeah, yeah, yeah. that's um and then they used what was the tool that they use that was like

different the disruptor yeah the disrupter that say you know cuz when I was watching you guys I was like oh no and

then the disruptor I'm like that was I mean that was like God sent yeah that

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

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

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

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

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

What was in our minds, you know Exactly, you need to improvise like a lot of the people I believe

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

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

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

So you get sick of each other. I mean there were days we were freaking going nuts. Yeah

to be completely honest. Like, oh my God. Because you can't have your phone, right? No contact with the outside world

For three weeks. We were like... No TV. We were reading books. We must have read five books each

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

And like there was no lights. So you had a book and like a nightstand and a lamp

And it felt like you were in the 1800s. But it was helping us sleep. What books did you guys read

We read two David Goggins books. Okay. Which helped us lock in

Yeah, lock in. I think tremendously. I read, what was the book about that guy

with the CIA? The scam artist. Chasing Phil. Chasing Phil. And we read

and we read, I read a book, I think you might have read it too about George Washington's

secret spy ring that helped win the American Revolution. God, what a range. Which was crazy. Yeah, it was a weird range of books

It was a weird range of books. Like push-ups. Oh, it was just a crazy time

Playing darts. Yeah, trying not to go nuts. Yeah. Chess. Would you do another reality show

like that again? Yeah, yeah. Definitely. I would, I would. I would definitely

think we have a good chance. People always go, I'll go on Big Brother and stuff, but the thing about Big Brother

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

You know what I just watched? I just started Battle Camp. It's new. Oh. A few people from the circle

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

It's only one winner, though. So we'd have to go again. I mean, we'd split it. I mean, still, yeah

But you go, I go. Me and Nikki, I think we're pretty athletic

I think we do great on battle camp. Oh, it's like athlete stuff? Yeah, it's like physical challenges

Oh, because Taylor LeJuan was on it. Yeah, he's a host. Oh. He's hosting

Yeah, like the ninja show. Ninja Warrior? Yeah, where you got to do like crazy athletic obstacle course

It's so tough. It's so tough to do. Oh, my God. You got to be strong

Someone asks, what's the best part about being a twin? That's a good one

26 years to answer that question. Having, I don't know. I guess like having like

you do got like a best friend for everything. Yeah. We just do a lot of things together

Yeah. That's so nice. Similar interests with everything. Yeah, you know. And it's like having a twin

I would say is, I don't know because we're only siblings, but I feel like it's the closest sibling relationship

you could get compared to just having like an older brother or an older sister. Right. You know, we have the same interests

We came out of the womb together. One minute earlier though, You're one minute old

Haven't heard the end of that one in 26 years. And that's one of the most common questions

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you get like twin, what is it called

Telepathy. Telepathy. Telepathy. Telepathy where like, you know, you're thinking the same thing the other one's thinking

I say it all the time. We don't have it in like the way people think like, oh, I touch your shoulder

You're going to feel it. Yeah. But it's like an understanding in like the universe

Yeah. It's like a weird twin thing that like I feel like only twins will really get like, you know

We could kind of sense in a sense when one of us one of us is off a little bit

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

That's good. No, I'm gonna let's I think we should do the pasta

Yeah, what kind of pasta do you guys usually like request dad to make

I mean anything that pops be doing is usually hitting. Yeah. You can't question the master

And I mean, are you guys cooking too or is it mostly dad? Nah, it's mostly dad

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

Yeah. Is he like when? I don't know. We shall see. We don't cook enough

Yeah. Come on, pops. It didn't even make the final cut. It was a tomahawk, dad

Wait, what'd you guys do with it? You burned it? We butchered this tomahawk like real bad

Yeah. It got to the point like it was utterly embarrassing. They cut it out of the show

I think they didn't use the end when we undercooked the thing. Yeah, no

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

That's so embarrassing. Do you know what it was though with a tomahawk steak? It's like a... Yeah, it was bad

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

Do you know how to do the twirl? Yeah, tell me. Is it like... Are you doing it in the spoon

You got to do it in the spoon. Okay, you gotta do it in the spoon. And you get way more twirl with that

Yeah. I'm multitasking. I'm going just with the fork here. Yeah, I usually just make a fool myself

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

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

So we started throwing at that point. We cubed it up and we're throwing piece by piece back on the grill

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

You're supposed to cut and eat and cut and eat. That's the way. It was bad

Where did you get a tomahawk from? They gave us a tomahawk. Oh, they did

Shout out to whoever's idea that was. One of the nights? They thought it was a good idea

It would be a fun bid, and it was. Shout out to Rosanna. It's a good pasta. Yeah, you like the pasta

It's good. What else do we have to try? That and that, too

Oh, yeah. Chicken parm. Chicken parm never hurt nobody. Gotta get the chicken parm

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

So hopefully it shows people that we could do like scripted stuff too. Yeah

What is that? What's that one? Is it on? We can't say much

Okay, okay. But it's outside of? It's not like a reality show

It's more of like a scripted show. We actually had to do an acting audition to get it

No way. Okay, that's cool. Do you know like what the, how did you have to prepare for that role

Because I feel like that's a lot different than kind of like what you're doing with

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

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

If they're giving you that advice, take their advice and implement it. You've got to follow the direction

Yeah, and memorize scripts. Is that hard to do? That's tough, yeah

I don't got the best memory. To say the least, neither of us

You know, but, you know, it wasn't crazy. It wasn't like an overwhelming amount of lines

You know, it was something where we were able to, you know, work towards. And thankfully, we wound up killing the audition

We got the part. Is that eggplant part? It is. I think so, yeah

Oh, wow. Really good. Is that chicken then? It could be. It might be the meat part. Yeah

Okay, can you tell, like, where this is coming out on or not yet? Not yet. Okay. Okay

I can't wait to find out. We're cleared and we're able to promote it

We'll come on and promote it. Come on. We're real excited for it

We shot it around where we shoot at. End of 24. Hopefully it comes out this year

I think it's going to. Are you looking to do with the screenplay

and acting? Do you feel like that's the next frontier? Where do you think

Social media, do you feel like what's the next big thing for social media

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

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

Yeah, but there's gonna be those people who just want to do the social media and that's completely fine

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

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

Especially today with this whole, like, the fact that you're able to make such a living off social media

So certain people could be like, I make X, Y, Z a month doing what I want to do

I don't want to go to a movie set for 12 hours because movie sets could be boring. Yeah

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

You'd be amazed how many shots and angles just for one scene that go on

Oh, and it's like repetitive again and again. Same thing from this angle than that. It's amazing

But that's something we've always loved. You got the reach. Yeah, I got the reach

What's your favorite movie? That's a great question. That's one of the hardest questions that anyone could answer

Can I give you like top five? Yeah, tell us top five. Good Will Hunting. Yep, that's a classic

with Jack Nicholson okay I mean it's it's it's cliche but if I didn't include

the Godfather to we'll want in here would be crazy that's that's good I really

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

script that he sold and it's a sick sick Tarantino movies are just incredible

so the movie true romance I like because it was Tarantino script he sold it

and the other director casted an amazing cast and James Gandolfini who obviously played

Tony Soprano this was like his one villain role that they used

when they and they kept in mind when they were auditioning for The Sopranos they used that as reference yeah wow

and on top of just him that movie was amazing it really was what else

I'm trying to think of even phenomenal movies oh The Iron Claw was phenomenal

I wouldn't say one of my favorite of all time but that was phenomenal The Departed

are you a cop literally The Departed that's a lot as I was telling I was telling

The Departed's Amazing. There's so many. We could go on forever. So many

How about you? I mean, I like those movies. I love the action movies

I really like even thought-provoking movies. What have I seen? I watched Conclave recently

Did you watch that? I heard of it. I never watched it. Yeah, and I watched Substance

I went through watching the different Oscar-nominated winning movies. I watched Anora

How was Anora? I heard it was great. Onora was really good. Well, I don't want to spoil, like, no spoiler alerts, but, like, it was really good

I didn't expect to, like, cry at the end. It's actually kind of sad, but it's, like, I think it's profound, and it, you know, shines a light on the sex worker industry

Yeah. You know, and I also, I really like Marvel. Marvel's great

I was re-watching Age of Ultron and Infinity War last week. Like, Thor Ragnarok is so funny to me

That's my favorite. Didn't like Love and Thunder, but I like Ragnarok. Yeah, I didn't like that either

They kind of wait Joker like Yeah, I mean I like love those kinds of movies too. Yeah, we're big on like like love the superhero movies

He still hasn't seen I haven't watched that movie is good amazing. That was making Rooks broke breakout performance before he went nuts and stuff Yeah

Great guy, but it's so even like that we just TV nerds even show wise like people say before Peaky Blinders Sopranos

Bad better calls So I love Breaking Bad Game of Thrones Yeah those I mean we like Breaking Bad or like even White Lotus the way that they filming these things have become like Hollywood productions
