It's funny, a new yorker wouldn't have found that offensive. We ask questions, banter, say inappropriate things, and get a chuckle out of it. If you don't want to banter, you tell the guy to go away, and generally they would.
When you go to a different area of the country, you find that type of thing isn't welcome.
I have always said that most people don't understand trump because they don't understand new yorkers. And I don't mean the elite manhattanites, I mean the workaday types. You could tell Tucker is pretty pissed, he wants his space, but in NY, your personal space is pretty fucking small, it's hard to get away. You get used to it.
Joey probably understood the jabs, but generally NYers can laugh at themselves, it's pretty hard to really offend one.
I’m not from NY, but I grew up close enough that we were there all the time growing up (a lot of it was because our family held season tix to the Yankees for years, so we spent a lot of time splitting days between downtown and the Bronx+little Italy) — plus where I’m from has a very similar culture to NYC. In any case, I experienced quite a lot of interesting conversations — my dad’s very social, so he’d randomly be getting into little quips and friendly back and forth’s with random strangers. People definitely don’t understand NY’ers if they aren’t from there or spent a lot of time there. It’s too bad what DeBlasio+Cuomo’s done to that city. My brother just had to finally leave (after living there 10+ years, and telling me last year he’d never leave) because it just got so bad. He literally left the first week of June, right after everything really went to shit. He just broke his lease, paid the fee and dipped out
