How do the hosts compare US cities versus European cities?
Who has the better cities, the USA or Europe? This is gonna be a tough question. I got matchups for you to determine this. First matchup, New York versus London. New York, that's easy. Why are you saying that though? Why do you think I'm saying that? Because it's the superior city. It's the greatest city on the planet. You talk about food, you talk about culture, you talk about sports. We have all of the sports besides like a real soccer team. Well, we do have a good soccer team. Do we? New York City. The Red Bulls? That's the New York Red Bulls.
The
football club? The New York Football
Club?
Yeah, NYFC, New York City Football Club. Are they that good though? It's a pretty big MLS team. We have everything here. Do you think London is the equivalent to New York for Europe? I think yes, because it's kind of like the hub. It's a big destination spot. I think it's the most Americanized city. Your next matchup, Los Angeles versus Barcelona. This one's tough. I went to Barcelona when I was little, so I don't fully remember it. When I go to LA, I'm not an LA guy. I know. I don't know if it's the people or the location because I feel like the vibes are awesome out there besides the people. I think LA is definitely bigger geographically. There's definitely more people there. I think I might give it to LA.
LA over Barcelona? Really? I think I might.
I
don't
know
about that, Brian. Well, you think about the biggest cities on the planet. You think of New York, LA, Tokyo, London. You don't say Barcelona. The next one would be Paris. Okay, that's fair. I'll give you that one. That's fine. Am I wrong? You're not wrong, I guess. I would still take Barcelona over Los Angeles, in my opinion. I totally disagree. Next one's Nashville versus Dublin. Nashville versus Dublin. I love both these cities. Nashville's a big party city. I have to lean Dublin this one. I do too. We spent a week out there. Yeah. There's more history there. Nashville is a bit of a newer city. I know it's humongous in country music and rock and roll music. They have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame there. They have the Grand Ole Opry.
They have all of downtown, the Strip. But I think Dublin is just a better vibe. It's more historic and Guinness was made there. Is Nashville a top three city for you in the US? No, not even close. Like preference to go? No. What
would be the top three?
I think I would have like eight before Nashville. Really? Yes. Oh, I thought you'd love it down there.
I
do. I do. But I haven't gone anywhere else in Nashville besides a one mile radius. That's just Broadway. Yeah. I
literally go to
one street when I go there. Okay, that's fair. When I go to LA, there's so many other things to do. I could go to the beach. I could go to the amusement park. I could go to sporting events. I could go to everything. It's 2-1 US. You have San Diego versus Paris. I'm going to have to give this to Paris. Even though I'd rather live in San Diego, San Diego has great vibes, great weather. I heard it has good food, but Paris is more iconic in my eyes. Definitely more iconic. Definitely the better city. But if I had to choose one to go to, I honestly might choose San Diego. I feel like that's a steaming hot take. Yeah, I don't like that take. I think I'd rather go to Paris just because living in America, I'd rather go to a European city on a vacation because it's totally different to me.
San Diego is pretty similar to New Jersey lifestyle. I guess it is. But if I have like a getaway a week, just like going to stay there a few days, I'm definitely choosing San Diego. I'm sorry. Las Vegas or Ibiza? I've never been to Ibiza, but a few of my friends have gone there and they said that it's extremely overpriced and a tad overrated. I'm going Vegas. These are the two party cities of each continent. Thank you for clarifying
that, Zach. You're
welcome. Some people don't know. Yeah, I'm going Las Vegas. A lot of people say Las Vegas is going downhill because the prices are going up for food, for hotels, for transportation and everything. But I still love Las Vegas. I'm in love with it. I've heard that when we went there, like it's just not the same since COVID.
