So what did you do this weekend?
00:00
Sister?, just chilled,
00:03
brother. I mean,
00:05
yeah, just chilled.
00:06
I, I actually went to a few spots.
00:09
Yeah, food spots.
00:11
I, I wanna try a little something new you're supposed to
00:15
say. And speaking of food?
00:17
Oh, yeah, that's your story.
00:19
Yeah. Ok. Let me start over,
00:21
start over because if I just,
00:22
I think it's like random.
00:24
If I just say no,
00:26
I'm gonna ask you any new food spots and then you'll be
00:28
like, oh, well,
00:29
no, but speaking of food.
00:30
Ok. All right.
00:31
All right. So,
00:32
did you do anything fun this weekend?
00:34
Maybe hit up some new food spots.
00:36
I actually went to my uncle's restaurant.
00:38
It's a Mexican food restaurant.
00:39
And, actually speaking of Mexican food.
00:43
Have you ever had Mexican food in NYC?
00:46
No, I think I've been there for like a couple of
00:48
days. But no,
00:49
I, I heard that we're actually,
00:51
we actually have someone in New York City right now.
00:54
Yes, we do.
00:55
Yeah. Taqueria El Pastor.
01:00
We got Joey Danno live from Brooklyn at this Taqueria.
01:05
Joey. Can you hear us go?
01:12
We got Joey in here.
01:13
Joey. What are you,
01:14
what are you munching on my man?
01:16
Oh, dog. I'm munching on some New York City tacos
01:20
and some chips and guac and a little Coca Cola Cocaina.
01:26
The glass bottle just hits different for sure.
01:28
It hits different. The plastic adds a flavor and the flavor
01:32
is ass. Exactly.
01:35
Well, then, I guess kind of going on that
01:37
How often do you go for Mexican food in New
01:39
York? This is,
01:41
the Mexican food is definitely,
01:43
like, for sure,
01:45
weekend spot for me.
01:47
I love eating it when I had,
01:49
when I've had a little bit too much,
01:50
too many. I,
01:52
but I'm also a big fan of just grabbing a burrito and
01:54
and walking out the door.
01:56
I love a handheld,
01:58
probably the most New York thing about me is I
02:00
love eating on the sidewalk.
02:01
I love people coughing all over my food.
02:03
What can I say?
02:04
Yeah. You know,
02:04
the, it just builds up your immunity system and
02:07
I think,
02:07
you know, if you could survive that you're gonna survive COVID
02:09
right? Oh,
02:11
yeah. I've only gotten it 10 times and I'm still standing
02:14
What is it that you're eating?
02:15
Joey? I got three tacos.
02:19
Al Pastor. Oh,
02:21
the presentation and I got some chips and guac and I,
02:26
I do have AAA Boyo Asado burrito,
02:29
but I don't even know if I'm gonna make it to that
02:30
What other spots in NYC would you recommend like for us
02:33
tourists visiting. I'll tell you right now,
02:35
the vibe inside this spot,
02:39
I'd recommend this place very friendly.
02:40
They haven't had a bite yet.
02:42
But another spot I recommend is the,
02:45
the, the very famous beer truck is right outside of my
02:48
apartment right off Lorrimer.
02:51
And it's right underneath the BQE right next to the Lorrimer
02:54
L train stop. You gotta go,
02:56
you gotta go, I'm trying to remember the name of the
03:00
of the actual company.
03:01
I just know it is the truck.
03:02
You know those places where you don't know the name but you
03:04
just know exactly where it is.
03:06
It's a spot, it's just the spot.
03:08
Exactly. I got you.
03:10
We got you. Well,
03:11
let's see. Let's see him.
03:12
Oh, you wanna eat?
03:13
Ok, let's see him.
03:14
Let's, let's go ahead and get a little taste test there
03:17
Let me give you this first of all.
03:20
Take one peek. Ok,
03:22
look at that. We got the pineapple.
03:25
You know, we're doing good.
03:27
I like how beautiful it is.
03:29
Now, let's see how it tastes.
03:31
Oh 00, how does it taste?
03:39
Yeah, I feel like my head's in the way.
03:44
Boss, boss. I want a little bite too.
03:48
Oh, let's see.
03:50
There we go. We got the M oh man.
03:57
So where can people find you,
03:59
Joey? I'm at Joey danno on Instagram,
04:04
tiktok everywhere. If you're in New York,
04:06
I'm headlining in Brooklyn this Saturday at 10 p.m. I'm doing an
04:10
hour of comedy and guess what?
04:11
There's a truck right outside,
04:13
there's a truck right outside the venue,
04:15
Union Hall. You gotta go.
04:16
That's a sign. It's a whole fucking event.
04:19
All right, Joey.
04:19
