What's up everybody? Are you tuning in to the challenge USA on CBS? Well tune in to me Tyson Apostle as I break down each and every episode with my co-host Amelia Wedamire.

I'm also a contestant on the show which gives you all the insider scoop Amelia how stoked are you to do this.

Tyson I'm freaking excited I cannot wait to sit my butt down every single week to watch the show then come here and recap it with you on the Ringer Reality TV Podcast.

David I'm in New York City this week spending a few days in the town where you and I came of age or tried to come of age.

David some what's successfully it's kind of defining coming of age in a very specific way let me know let's set about that the better I think.

David So what's funny about coming back to New York is first of all there's just some basic confusion.

David Mm-hmm. David Me standing on a subway platform being like wait what's the difference between an express train and a local train.

David Oh God yeah. David What's the strategy here which train to take for this particular route me walking around.

David I was in the West Village yesterday like the most confusing neighborhood so I'm having to stare at the my phone to figure out where I'm going where bleaker street is and where Barrow is and all that stuff.

David I couldn't orient North Southeast West at the drop of a hat when I lived in New York I I certainly couldn't do it trying to go back to the West Village now.

David But here's where I'm going with this. I get my bearings a little bit and I start watching people on the street.

David Mm-hmm. David And I want to talk to you about the idea of the New York City Confident Walk where you can really tell who's who who has lived there the longest who's just visiting who's visiting for a while like with a summer internship merely by observing the confidence with which they walked down the street.

David Okay. David You remember this because I feel we got there and at first we were kind of looking around and stumbling around you got there before I did so you were a little you had this before I did.

David But then all of a sudden when you bring people in from out of town they're just amazed at the way that you can navigate the street. David Oh yeah. David They're like you're crossing against the light here. You know oh yeah I always cross against this light. David Because there's never any traffic here. David Mm-hmm. David Oh I'm walking straight into this subway and I'm going straight through this turnstile.

David And I'm going to I'm showing you exactly where to go. And I don't know that there's any better way to determine in about five seconds how long someone has been in a place than whether they are doing the Confident Walk and how confident their confident walk is.

David Right. David Wait do you have levels of confidence here or is it just like when you go down the if you know how to go if you go straight from the turnstile to like an obscure tunnel in this subway then clearly you've been there while. David I'll give you another one this morning I was looking for coffee.

David And I'm kind of in like the one coffee list part of Manhattan unfortunately. David So six thirty in the morning I see that a Starbucks is opening a couple of blocks away.

David And I go to the Starbucks and I'm waiting outside but there's a sign on the Starbucks that said we're having some some trouble here opening the store at the point of time like I can see people unloading stuff but the

store is not open but people are coming by and they try the handle and the stores lock and then they just walk off quickly like they have a they have a backup plan.

David What's how early in the morning is this that Starbucks is not open it was six thirty in the morning.

David I was up early needed some coffee and anyway I was totally impressed I kind of feel like I have LA confident drive going on after having been there five six years.

David But someday I don't know how I'm going to do it I don't know when it's going to happen but I want to get new or confident walk back.
