Who is Nigel Sylvester and why is he significant in BMX?
Yo, what's up guys? I'm about to go meet up with Nigel Sylvester. If you don't know who that is, he's one of the greatest BMX riders of all time. I grew up knowing his name. I don't know any other BMX rider, except for Dave Vera, of course. So we're going to go talk to Nigel. I'm interested in getting to know what he does on a daily basis. My biggest, my most important question is how does he get the bike? from New York to Paris, Tokyo. Did you already check it out? Because I bought it in a big suitcase. I'm really curious about that. Does he ship it? He probably ships it. I bet he ships it. There's no way he doesn't ship it. But I'm really excited about this episode. I think you guys are going to love it. And here it is.
So what's your take? So... take is Queens is the king of all boroughs. 100% agree.
100%.
Yeah. But it's magical. Why is it magical? I mean, listen, it's the most diverse borough. That's number one. When it comes to hip-hop, we have legends. Who? LL. LL. Nas. Nas. Nicki. Nicki.
Run DMC. Run DMC. 50 Cent. 50 Cent. Do I have to keep going? Holy shit. No, I didn't realize that all of them were from Queens. De La Soul. De La Soul. Like, I mean, listen. The list goes on and on. Fire. I didn't know that. So we got talent. We got diversity. We got food. We got food. That is absolutely true.
Do you like Caribbean food? I love Caribbean food. There's a spot called The Door. On Baisley and Guy Brewer, you have to try it. It's fire? Life-changing.
What's the best little bites there? What am I getting? What am I picking up? So you go there, you get the run-down snapper. Oh, a little red snapper? Why is it run-down? Because it's got sauce all over it? It's the sauce. Oh, I like that name because I know what it is. Yeah, run-down snapper. It's run-down. It's ran through. And then the oxtail. And the oxtail. That's something I know that the people love. I haven't been there yet. Listen, you need to go. I haven't gotten there. You should go. I just, I think about the idea of eating a tail. You know what I mean? And what happens? I just, it's a weird piece of body. And it might be because maybe humans don't have tails. Like, I could eat an arm. But? But the tail, we don't have tails.
Would you really eat an arm? I mean, I eat arms, like chicken arms. I eat chicken arms all the time. They call them wings. They call them wings. Hold on. What's your favorite food? Ooh. Ooh. I mean, right now, it changes depending on the season. But at the moment, I'm really into tacos. Fair enough. Like crunchy artichokes. Chipotle. They got chipotles in Queens, bro. They do? And that's the special ones, bro. Right now, I'm into wings. I know this is a very lame answer and people are going to be like, who's this white guy? But I'm into wings and tacos at the moment.
I mean, listen, you're into like Super Bowl food. Listen, Queens, even in Men in Black, They had to go to Queens to save the world.
That is the way. It's the world's borough. What do they call it? The world's borough? It's the world's borough. All right. You know what? I love it. I already agreed with you. Here's my 2025 resolution. Let me hear it. I'm going to spend more time in Queens. Please do. I'm going to eat more restaurants in Queens. I'm going to hang out in Queens. I'm going to explore it. Because I feel like for me, I've lived in New York for 14 years, maybe 13. Okay. Always round up. And I spend most of my time in Brooklyn and Manhattan. But it's time to really venture out.
Queens. Listen, both of the airports are in Queens. That is a good reason. Bro, it's the portal to the world. This is what I'm saying. It's the portal to New York. We call it Big Queens.
