20. What Makes You a Real New Yorker? | Simeon Goodson & Lenny Marcus | PYF$ with Cipha Sounds

from PAY YOUR FRIEND$ with Cipha Sounds · host Witz Comedy Network

What does it really mean to be FROM New York City? Cipha Sounds, Simeon Goodson, and Lenny Marcus go deep on one of the most hotly debated questions in the city — and it's more than just an address. The conversation kicks off with the Peter Rosenberg and Noreaga hot 97 morning show drama, where Noreaga said it felt good hearing New York voices on New York radio — and Rosenberg, born in Maryland, took it personally. The crew breaks down why "living here for 20 years" doesn't automatically make you a New Yorker, and what actually does: riding the subway as a kid, knowing what a New York police lock is, having certain spots close down on you. They also get into gentrification and how neighborhoods like Williamsburg, East New York, and Coney Island have transformed — and who's really being displaced at each wave. Plus: New York sports allegiances, the racial and cultural mix that makes the city unlike anywhere else, teaching kids street smarts, guardian angels on the subway, and some wild transit stories you won't forget.
