New Yorkers say, "To be a true New Yorker you have to mind your own business" but I'll tell you what, as a New Yorker I can truthfully say, "If you are ever in trouble, a true New Yorker will always have your back, whether they know you or not".
FACTS. Only city I’ve experienced people quickly intervening to back me up when getting harassed in public. Ironically the bystander effect originated from a story here.
ppl who complain about that, aren't from big cities. I was born in NY but I don't consider myself one because I moved away when I was 2. But I've lived mainly in big cities (Shanghai, Taipei, Chicago, SF, and Oakland). In a big city, you mind your business because you recognize that stopping and making a deal about something is so much bigger, because there's a bigger audience. Also, you don't chitchat in public spaces or with service folks, because you're holding up the line, adn therefore being rude to other ppl outside your conversation. But if anything happens, NY'ers always pull up. Just cuz they're "minding their own business" doesn't mean they're not aware of what is going on, and they'll immediately jump in to help you.
As a Brooklynite i can only say this; keep your heads down, dont start none wont be none, and if you think that Times Square is the go to spot in NYC, then you're truly a tourist.
i grew up in brooklyn.... and in high school we used to cut school and go to the arcades in times square all the time.. trying about avoid truant cops..
what about the Central Park? because i'm curious to see the ecosystem in there and ponder how it's able to hold itself as the last bastion of green wilderness in a seas of concrete wilderness (that and i think that's prolly the only thing my mom would be interested in while i wanna go to as many art or science museums as i can).
@@Echo81Rumple83 central park is beautiful... so beautiful i skipped my prom and got blazed in it...it was the 90's though.. im sure it's different now..
I live in the Bronx, but I’ve been on a lot of dates with Manhattanites and Brooklynites. I’ve also got a date scheduled with a guy from Queens on Friday. 😂
I don't understand why they would be apart of the discussion. As a Bronx native, we don't speak about that place. Unless we're discussing the Wu-Tang Clan and then we still never bring up the location. Just the group.
the "most New York thing" I witnessed was a bicyclist and a bus driver get into a fight over the right-of-way 😂😂😂 like they stopped in the road causing a backup behind them and everything!!
Maybe to some people but I can ALWAYS tell a native-born from someone who isn’t. I was born and raised in Boston but many of my close camp and college friends are Manhattanites. On another note I very much enjoyed Cleveland during my visit. It was the first stop on a 25 day road trip from Boston to Los Angeles. I was only in the city for 42 hours. However I was out and about for 26 of them. I saw quite a lot of your hometown. I’ve spent 3 years of my life abroad and I’ve visited 41 states. That being said I can safely say Cleveland is a very underrated city.
@@doody244 yes Cleveland gets a lot of hate but I'm happy you enjoyed your experience here. As far as the accents, I know what you mean about a native tongue, and I'm sure you've heard some terrible Boston impressions in your days.
BRING BACK ROY!!!!! Make Desus top field correspondent. You guys also better lock down Josh Johnson and Dulce Sloan. You're gonna miss those two when they blowuptuate
Dulce Sloan is the worst correspondent to sit at that desk in the past 25 years. She's not funny AND hard to look at. Josh is funny in stand up but not on a script. Personally it seems like a lot of people just want to see black faces and don't care about the quality of the entertainment. The ONLY black that deserves a spot on the show currently is Roy Wood Jr.
Most New York thing I’ve ever experienced? Recently I found out that my local neighborhood bagel shop in Riverdale is closed on Saturdays because they’re Orthodox Jews, so I waited until Sunday to get my bagel with lox. That is a very New York thing. 😂
I visited New York for a weekend in high school (and got to perform at Carnegie with the school's orchestra) and I've played all the Spider-Man games, so I am definitely a New York poser 😂
Pfft, maybe a maladjusted New Yorker bumps into people without apologizing, but a well-adjusted New Yorker slips through the crowd like an oiled banana.
Me, born in Oregon, grew up in ohio, lives in Michigan, been to new york once: oh yes these are all words i know, i definitely didnt have to google chopped cheese
When I lived in Sugar Hill in Harlem, I stepped out of the elevator one morning with 20 policemen in a semi-circle pointing their guns at me....never did find out which neighbor they came for but I have some guesses.
People that never been are gonna start thinking New York is just NYC and the island... theres two types of New Yorkers. Those that live in the city and those that avoid the city.
Here's a simple way to test of a person is a real New Yorker. What was it like growing up in New York City? If you can't answer that, you're not a real New Yorker.
He is not welcome in NY. He literally is banned from doing any type of business there. And it seems every time he mentions E Jean Carrol’s name he will have to pay her 5 million.
@@laurenconrad1799 We moved from Bklyn to South Florida when I was 10-1/2 years old. Talk about culture shock. We moved from a completely integrated neighborhood to a community that just took down the colored & white signs the year before (the no jews, no dogs signs didn't come down for another 10 years). The next city over from us was the residence of the KKK & every year they had a huge parade- no joke. UGH. I couldn't wait to leave there.

That's just because real New Yorkers don't even claim Staten Island as a borough. (WuTang is the only exception!)
@@MrTekniqs Ha! I wrote my comment before looking at yours, and we're on the same page. Gang gang.
I really love Desus and hope he is willing to host and that they choose him to host forever.

I’m playing
I guess "Mind your business" is the unofficial NYC motto.
Toss up between that and “Don’t make eye contact”
Should be an american motto, if they did we wouldn't have a this culture war BS.
Fuhgeddaboudit is almost the same as mind your business.
It's on the official NYC municipal seal
There are signs everywhere here that say, "If you see something, say something," and collectively we were like, "Nah..."
the "most New York thing" I witnessed was a bicyclist and a bus driver get into a fight over the right-of-way 😂😂😂 like they stopped in the road causing a backup behind them and everything!!

😭😭😭I miss the bodega boys!!!
Born and raised in Cali. Thanks for the tips on how to be a New Yorker😂😂
Desus needs a co-pilot. I think we all know who I'm talking about.
Desus (and Mero) are the best
A means cleans, C means flavorful 😂😂😂
NYC is on my bucket list to visit.
KEEP DESUS AS YOUR HOST HE WAS THE BEST ONE BY FARRRRRR
Put Desus on forever, this is set!
Get it Desus! Love this
I don't know who this man is, but he is fantastic. Give this man the show.
You gotta watch Desus and Mero, they had a comedy on Showtime 🙌
Desus on the daily 🔥
Desus looked like he stopped himself from saying something when dude said “LETS GO METS!”
I'm so BX, I didn't even hear this.
I noticed that too
BRING BACK ROY!!!!! Make Desus top field correspondent. You guys also better lock down Josh Johnson and Dulce Sloan. You're gonna miss those two when they blowuptuate

Desus is the best, the brand is still strong
This is basically the Desus & Mero segment again but without Mero
Desus with no Mero feels wrong.
This. 💯
I visited New York for a weekend in high school (and got to perform at Carnegie with the school's orchestra) and I've played all the Spider-Man games, so I am definitely a New York poser 😂
When I was a college student in NYC my true New Yorker friends told me I'd never assimilate because I knew how to row a boat 🤔
😂 I can't
That skill comes in handy in Central Park!!
My dad was from the Bronx 💖
The other boroughs aint gotta claim us on Staten...we still love yall...😉we kno y u left tho🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
C equals flavor ~ Desus Nice
Pfft, maybe a maladjusted New Yorker bumps into people without apologizing, but a well-adjusted New Yorker slips through the crowd like an oiled banana.
Roy should host. But keep Desus as a corespondent. He's so loveable
Not this interview taking place right in front of my go-to TJ’s 😂
“My bidness ain’t your bidness”
I miss desus and mero. But its almost there i guess.
Me, born in Oregon, grew up in ohio, lives in Michigan, been to new york once: oh yes these are all words i know, i definitely didnt have to google chopped cheese
I was born and raised in NYC BRU UNKS AND MANHA’N yay ya 💥
When you cash your paycheck and ask for all small bills so you can splay them all out for a social media moment! 😂
What makes a real New Yorker is when they migrate to Florida and won't leave.
YAAAAAASSSSSS
LOL so true. Florida is the 6th borough.
🤣🤣That’s literally half of us bro we all know somebody in Florida 💀
😂😂
😂😂😂
I need desus as the new host!
I ❤ NY
SOMEBODY WENT ALL HOLLYWOOD RIP MERO YERRRRR!
Luv it!
Brooklyn in da house! #Fl@bush
I visited ny twice and i’m a real new yorker
Okay!! I visited a few times as well. I love NY. Everyone seemed cool and chill, minding their own business. That’s the vibe.
@@QuietgalSeeyasame💯
Mero is calling 😊
lil does Desus know, bumping into ppl w no apology is how they walk in HK too
When I lived in Sugar Hill in Harlem, I stepped out of the elevator one morning with 20 policemen in a semi-circle pointing their guns at me....never did find out which neighbor they came for but I have some guesses.
My guy did a "Are You A Real New Yorker" segment in a black nasty tho
You just have to be raised here. Everybody else is just visiting.
❤❤❤
That didnt feel right without Mero☹️
Roy Wood Jr Please thank you!!!
DON’T LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE WE DO NOT PREFER C RATING RESTAURANTS. OUR NEIGHBORHOODS JUST DON’T HAVE MANY OPTIONS.

Here's a simple way to test of a person is a real New Yorker.
What was it like growing up in New York City?
If you can't answer that, you're not a real New Yorker.
New York sounds a lot like Dublin, yo
I bet she either from Bk or queens they always got something to say about the bx
Mind your business 😂
dude moved to LA btw
Miss Trev.
A real New Yorker is whoever didn't F off to Florida during the pandemic.
My favorite part is when he only talked to one yt person
Yankee fitted
Timbs
Robbed at The Tunnel in 90s
Him? You want us to watch him? This you went with? Sunglasses? No. This segment? What? I am crying just sad
Its not the same without mero, they both balance each other out
Am I a knicks a fan? I don’t like sports. I’m a musical theater nerd. Why do you think I’m in New York? 😂
Real New Yorkers don't give a sheet where you're from #justsayin
Oh no, I live in the Bronx. Is it time to move?
Apparently Yes, if you have ppl crapping in the middle of the road during traffic.😂
🤣🤣, I wonder how many of those people she has seen though. I'm yet to see one doing it. @dinak.2552
@@MwishaLudackdont worry i ain't seen it either
YERRRRRRRRR
He asked the Asian girl what it takes to be a New Yorker… she said grits.
She said "grit."
Get a pair of Tims
Mind your business is how serial killers exist. Change your mentality!
Yerrrrrrr
The BLT order sounds like a southerner's favorite to me
Desus let white people Lyor Cohen him from Mero thinking he was Jay-Z. But y’all are WAYYYYYYY better together than apart.
So the girl from HK is def not a Real NEw Yorker and this is coming from someone from the BX all day!
Do a real austinite test...it would be the opposite, "tell me everything about you and everyone you know"
Torchy's on first street, before it closed, was the best. Let's go Hilltoppers!
mind ya business!
Mind your business isnt unique to new york.
10x bb
Sigh...... The New York schtick still.
U can one of my favorites on and i still dont want U here. Who even r U???
Ask Donald Trump
He is not welcome in NY. He literally is banned from doing any type of business there. And it seems every time he mentions E Jean Carrol’s name he will have to pay her 5 million.
He moved to Florida permanently, which a lot of New Yorkers do, oddly enough, including the ones who aren’t evil. 😂
