Well, hello, everyone. Thank you for tuning into the three questions. And I am really, really excited about this one. I mean, the rest of them are

Duds pretty much everyone I've talked to from this point on has been a fucking snooze. So I am very excited to talk to David Sederis is here, one of the funniest people on earth, somebody I've known for a very long time, but I have not seen you because you've been galvanting.

I think you were that well, no, I guess we left we left New York at around the same time. Yes, you came to Los Angeles and I moved to France and moved to England. And then yeah, we just haven't seen each other.

Yeah, yeah, did you live in Tokyo for any did you live in Tokyo for three months? Yeah, but we didn't that's not quite living. And are you and are you coming back? I just talked to a few your husband and partner or a boyfriend boyfriend.

And he said, you guys are coming back to New York sort of we got a place in New York and we're spending the winter there. Yeah, just seeing it's odd to go back after being gone for so long. Yeah, it feels so different. I was in a car the other day going to the airport. And I didn't it was a really long time until I passed the store. You can't find in a mall. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So anything that was original. Yeah, in any way it's sad. It is sad, but it's it's still we were just talking my sons at school. His freshman year in New York City. And he has been saying it's not the same as when you and mom lived here. It's all corporate now and it's all wall street. And I guess it's kind of true, but it's still better than most places. I mean, it's still it's you know, I go back and it's

still definitely has the vibrancy and the sort of stimulation level that's elevated that I like and that I get back into when I've had to stay there for any amount of time. I feel like I could absolutely go back there.

We we used to live in Soho and so we went back. We got an apartment on the Upper East side and it's not a place I ever would have thought I wanted to be on the. Why did you do that? My year ago.

No, but I mean, why did you choose the Upper East side? I just because it's not it's not hip in any way. Yeah, yeah. And but it's also feels like the there are still.

You know, there's lots of butcher shops and lots of there's nothing you like when we had to get meet with a co outboard. They boasted they said, you know, there's not a restaurant on third Avenue from like 59th Street to 70th. He said you're never going to hear anybody coming out of a restaurant at night. It's quiet. And I love that they boasted about that. And I actually really like it. Yeah. That's great. I'm glad. I mean, I'm

excited to have you guys back here. Are you I mean, do you have qualms about leaving your expat life behind or.

No, we didn't quite leave it behind. Yeah. I mean, we still live in England as well. I would I would like to, you know, it is, you're with somebody. I would like to move to Germany. And so I go to Germany a lot for

tours and stuff. And so I say every night, I say I'd like to move to Germany. And but I don't I'm tired of filling out paperwork. So I want you to German government just give me right to passports.

And I don't see why they I guess that's exactly what white privilege is, isn't it? Like to give me the passports. I don't come on. Yeah, I don't want to

Germany. I can it's it's it's honestly in their interest. But I don't know that you would. I don't know. He says he wouldn't do it.

What is it you like about Germany? I like to people as I get older, I like places where people follow the rules. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah.

But I think we tend to follow the rules that we believe in. Right. Like in Tokyo, people follow the rules. Oh, yeah, you go to Tokyo. And it's two o'clock in the morning. And it's really cold.

And you're you and there's no cars coming. And you want to cross the street. But Japanese people are going to wait until the light changes. They're not going to do it. And then you think, well, this is just crazy. And so you do it. And the looks that they give you are probably, you know, probably the looks you deserve. But here you are.

Are you deciding, okay, this rule I believe in. Yeah. And this one not so much. Yeah. But in Japan, anyway, it's either you follow the rule or you. Well, there's not really part. There's really not another option. You just do it.

And there's something as I get older, something about that. But I still don't want to follow the ones that I think are just bullshit. Yeah, I think well, honestly, I think that the. I mean, what occurs to me in you saying that is.

It's a it's a question of density. There's so many people that I think that there's that it probably and I mean having been to Tokyo, it feels like you're on the edge of chaos at all times.

To the point where.
