from No Need For Apologies

This week, Sasha Merci is back and we get into everything, from wild subway stories while growing up in the Bronx to why New York really is just a small town. We debate NYC vs LA culture, break down why “the world comes to New York,” and get real about money, lifestyle, and why LA just doesn’t hit the same for everyone. Plus: Skid Row stories, zodiac chaos, higher thoughts, Bad Bunny’s global takeover, and a hilarious new game “Who’s Slang Is It Anyway?” It’s funny, chaotic, and a VERY New York episode!DON’T FORGET TO LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLAUp-4rTF4q4XLujbJ51YQ   TOUR DATES https://www.linktr.ee/nnfaMERCH https://nnfa.creator-spring.com/  BONUS CONTENT https://www.patreon.com/c/ImDaveTemple?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink -----------------Follow host Derek GainesIG https://www.instagram.com/thegreatboy/ Follow host Dave TempleIG https://www.instagram.com/imdavetemple/ YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@DAT46Follow guest Sasha MerciIG https://www.instagram.com/sashamerci/ Follow No Need for ApologiesIG https://www.instagram.com/nnfapodcast/  TT https://www.tiktok.com/@noneedforapologies  FB https://www.facebook.com/noneedforapologies/Produced by Teona SashaIG https://www.instagram.com/teonasasha/TT https://www.tiktok.com/@teonasasha -----------------To advertise your product on our podcasts please email [email protected] with a brief description about your product and any shows you may be interested in advertising on.SEND US MAIL:GaS Digital StudiosAttn: NNFA151 1st Ave # 311New York, NY 10003"No Need for Apologies" - NEW Episodes every Saturday at 3PM/ET on YouTube-----------------⏱️CHAPTERS00:00 Intro00:40 Welcome to the Show02:16 Sasha Merci Joins the Show02:47 Don’t Slander NYC08:20 Is California Too Segregated?15:38 Skid Row Is Unreal21:10 What’s A Big Three?30:48 Bad Bunny’s Global Influence32:22 What Even Is Ninjitsu?! 50:00 New Game: Who’s Slang Is It Anyway? 😂1:05:00 OutroSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Explicit The Sacred +Profane Podcast nephtaragrace The Sacred + Profane Podcast is a provocative conversation dedicated to cementing a better future for all. We specialize in unpacking the nuances of what is considered sacred and profane, particularly focusing on sex, death, and all that pertains to the circle of life. Our aim in focusing on such ”taboo” subject matter is to demystify what is unconscious, bring to light what has been known for centuries as ”the occult,” and empower the rapid transformation that is occurring on the Planet. Explicit Never Time to Give Up Shadoe Lass A nod to the classics with a note from the future. A project meant to encompass every call I wanted to make but never went through. Seriously, it's just me, calling you. Pick up the phone? :) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Explicit Dawg Town Jeff Farris Just a couple of bros riffing the bits with no direction but to entertain after a long day of working the grocery store. Enjoy. Explicit
