[00:01:31]  Great folks have commented specifically on my, quote, walking tours and never anything on my political commentary or assiduous review of whatever the particular.
[00:01:47]  Story is.
[00:01:49]  So I am not going to question this.
[00:01:53]  I'm going to say, great.
[00:01:56]  This is actually kind of fun for me.
[00:01:58]  It's different.
[00:01:59]  And it allows me to kind of show you around and to discuss things as we speak.
[00:02:08]  So let me flip this baby around.
[00:02:10]  Let me make sure everybody is with us.
[00:02:13]  I have not really announced this.
[00:02:14]  I don't announce these ahead of time.
[00:02:15]  I just do them.
[00:02:17]  It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, cool, crisp morning here in our nation's largest city.
[00:02:27]  We are on approximately the west side of Manhattan.
[00:02:31]  And I don't see anybody logging in.
[00:02:34]  Ah, I see one person.
[00:02:35]  So, I hope that before I begin, someone acknowledges that you are hearing me because, oh, I'm getting a stick.

=== Schmucks on 52nd (14:04) ===

[00:02:44]  Yes!
[00:02:45]  Oh yes, I'm high-tech.
[00:02:47]  A stick that will allow me perhaps less bouncing, more...
[00:02:52]  Oh, there it is.
[00:02:54]  Great, great.
[00:02:55]  Are we coming in through?
[00:02:56]  Someone says, yes.
[00:02:58]  I like this.
[00:02:59]  Yes.
[00:03:00]  I don't know what yes means, but what are you going to do?
[00:03:04]  Great.
[00:03:04]  Five by five.
[00:03:05]  Let us begin with this, okay?
[00:03:07]  First and foremost.
[00:03:09]  This is the corner of 52nd.
[00:03:15]  And I love it.
[00:03:16]  This is the home of Comedy Central.
[00:03:19]  This is where these schmucks stand outside for reasons I don't know.
[00:03:25]  This is Jon Stewart, who was a big deal, and then he left to run a petting zoo in New Jersey or something to that effect.
[00:03:34]  And I...
[00:03:35]  I don't know why.
[00:03:38]  He just...
[00:03:39]  I think he's forgotten.
[00:03:41]  And I'm sorry.
[00:03:42]  And I...
[00:03:43]  I don't want to necessarily say this in a very mean way, but I am older than he, but he comes across to me like my grandfather.
[00:03:54]  I don't know what it is.
[00:03:56]  And if you notice the looks of these people with him, they are so monumentally clever.
[00:04:02]  They think they are so clever.
[00:04:04]  This, dear friends, is our little place called DeWitt Clinton Park.
[00:04:13]  Questions of the Kitchen of Hell, of Hell's Kitchen.
[00:04:16]  And I love this little tribute.
[00:04:19]  This is how old this place is.
[00:04:20]  A tribute to our doughboys, if that's what they're called.
[00:04:26]  Are we doughboys or yanks?
[00:04:27]  In any event.
[00:04:30]  From Flanders Fields, if ye break faith with those who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow on Flanders Fields.
[00:04:41]  I have no idea what this is.
[00:04:43]  It's obviously a reference point.
[00:04:45]  There's some people doing a variety of drugs in the corner over here.
[00:04:49]  This is the Clinton War Memorial here.
[00:04:53]  This is dedicated to the young men from the neighborhood who died in World War I. Is that something?
[00:05:02]  And of course we have the city kind of getting going.
[00:05:07]  I wanted to say that.
[00:05:09]  Or whatever it's worth.
[00:05:10]  Just wanted to bring you To speed.
[00:05:15]  Up here, I don't know if you can see this.
[00:05:17]  I don't want to...
[00:05:18]  This is the Irish Arts Council.
[00:05:20]  Very, very nice place.
[00:05:22]  I was all ready to go until they started giving me a bunch of grief about mask rules.
[00:05:27]  I think they've pretty much stopped that.
[00:05:29]  I think they have.
[00:05:30]  Or they've kind of, you know, come off that mask business.
[00:05:36]  I can't tell.
[00:05:37]  This, I love this.
[00:05:38]  This is McKinney Welding Supply.
[00:05:40]  Since 1943.
[00:05:42]  I don't know why this fascinates me.
[00:05:44]  Oh, do you see this right here?
[00:05:46]  These are called city bikes, or as we affectionately call them, shitty bikes.
[00:05:53]  And I find this fascinating.
[00:05:56]  This was put in during the Bloomberg administration.
[00:06:03]  And what it is, is I want you to notice this.
[00:06:05]  This was at one point a three, four lane street.
[00:06:10]  And look at this.
[00:06:11]  You have now this stupid bike, and a lot of people do use them.
[00:06:15]  One lane available only for traffic, and then the rest is parking.
[00:06:19]  And the reason for this is to destroy any kind of automobile movement in the line.
[00:06:29]  Now this is fascinating.
[00:06:31]  This is going to be a bit long-winded.
[00:06:36]  This is one of the places where all of the carriages are stored.
[00:06:41]  I hope you can hear me okay.
[00:06:43]  This is where all of the carriages are stored for Central Park.
[00:06:48]  This was quite a subject of debate.
[00:06:54]  Look at these marvelous little devices.
[00:06:57]  I'm going to show you something across the street first.
[00:07:01]  As you know...
[00:07:02]  The street peddlers and vendors, dirty water dogs, they will meet here in the morning.
[00:07:09]  Many of these hard-working folks who are from various countries, I don't know about this fellow here, but they prepare for their sumptuous New York City hot dog,
[00:07:25]  the dirty water dog.
[00:07:26]  It's not dirty, it's actually bathed and boiled in a broth of spices, in any event.
[00:07:33]  Look at these.
[00:07:35]  The smell of horseshit is something that I've always loved.
[00:07:39]  The tack smell, the leather.
[00:07:44]  Morning, sir.
[00:07:48]  Beautiful people.
[00:07:50]  This is the Clinton Park Stables Association.
[00:07:55]  This is where they have these, where the horses...
[00:08:01]  I guess meat or whatever.
[00:08:04]  With the horse's meat.
[00:08:05]  Did I say that?
[00:08:06]  I did say that.
[00:08:07]  Sometimes when you walk, it's interesting.
[00:08:11]  Your brain, I'm holding this device in my hand.
[00:08:13]  My brain and everything else disconnects.
[00:08:15]  Now a while back, there was a big debate whether this was somehow animal cruelty.
[00:08:22]  And one of the biggest purveyors, one of the biggest supporters of this, The handsome cabs, or whatever they're called, is or was, and still is, Liam Neeson.
[00:08:35]  Liam Neeson, from Ireland, of course, said that these horses are treated beautifully.
[00:08:41]  They are meant to and equipped muscularly and physically and skeletally.
[00:08:50]  They are made and allowed to do this.
[00:08:54]  Consequently, it is not...
[00:08:58]  And any wise torture or what have you.
[00:09:02]  This place to my left is one of the big fresh direct hubs.
[00:09:06]  And at any given day, they are working their ass off.
[00:09:13]  And who does this, of course?
[00:09:15]  Who is responsible for this?
[00:09:17]  Foreigners.
[00:09:18]  Migrants.
[00:09:19]  Legal, I trust.
[00:09:20]  This is, I think, this is the hustler club.
[00:09:28]  My friends, I was in the realm of criminal defense.
[00:09:32]  I had a lot of, every now and then, clients.
[00:09:37]  A couple of dancers and the like, who, I'm crossing, by the way, West Side Highway.
[00:09:42]  Again, if you hear a careening of tires, a screech, and a loud thud, it is me.
[00:09:48]  Anyway, I appreciate the First Amendment right that people have.
[00:09:53]  Look at this.
[00:09:55]  Kind of a quasi...
[00:09:58]  Colosseum-esque.
[00:10:01]  I don't know what you want to call it.
[00:10:05]  Depiction architecture.
[00:10:07]  But the idea of spending money to have some woman gyrate on you, pretending that she's aroused by you, I find disgusting.
[00:10:15]  The din of traffic, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:10:18]  We're looking uptown on the West Side Highway.
[00:10:23]  The Joe DiMaggio Park.
[00:10:27]  I don't know.
[00:10:29]  Now what is this?
[00:10:30]  This is where the ships dock.
[00:10:35]  Do you remember a while back the Comfort, SS Comfort or whatever that was called?
[00:10:45]  This is the ship that was supposedly going to save us from COVID, where the dead and the affected could be loaded.
[00:10:56]  Preferably if they were loaded.
[00:10:59]  We never saw anything.
[00:11:01]  The ship docked right there.
[00:11:05]  People...
[00:11:06]  I hate that.
[00:11:08]  People crossed the street, cheering and screaming and yelling.
[00:11:13]  All along here were Marines, Navy men and women doing their PT, their exercise and the like.
[00:11:20]  Now I'm crossing when it's safe.
[00:11:23]  I don't believe one COVID person was taken.
[00:11:26]  I don't believe one person was helped.
[00:11:28]  I don't believe any of it.
[00:11:29]  But we clapped like fools, like idiots, for reasons I shan't understand.
[00:11:37]  This is a very dangerous area.
[00:11:39]  Remember, if you come to New York, you will most probably die not by the hands of a thug, but by somebody on a bike.
[00:11:46]  We're now moving downtown on the West Side Highway in this beautiful little park area.
[00:11:51]  A veritable cacophony, ladies and gentlemen, a concatenation, a melange, a myriad, a pastiche, and a mystique.
[00:12:01]  Here we go.
[00:12:02]  This is where it was.
[00:12:03]  Can you see this?
[00:12:04]  This is where the, across the, that's the Hudson over there.
[00:12:08]  That's Jersey.
[00:12:09]  I don't know if that's Weehawka, or Edgewater, or who that was.
[00:12:12]  Up here, Musica.
[00:12:14]  La Musica Latina.
[00:12:20]  A lot of biking here.
[00:12:21]  A lot of activity.
[00:12:22]  One thing I will tell you, and this, I think, is so much better than the east side.
[00:12:26]  So, so much better than the east side.
[00:12:30]  But I've got to tell you something.
[00:12:34]  In a country and in a city that is rather torpid and rather lethargic and sedentary, there's a lot of activity moving here.
[00:12:43]  Again, to my right, this is where all the ships converge.
[00:12:48]  This has been part of the landscape of New York forever.
[00:12:53]  The big liners used to come here.
[00:12:57]  I think, if I'm not correct, if I'm not incorrect, I should say, the Queen Mary or something may have been here.
[00:13:05]  I don't know.
[00:13:05]  Titanic.
[00:13:06]  Who the hell knows?
[00:13:09]  But remember, in the 40s, the Normandy.
[00:13:14]  The Normandy was the ship.
[00:13:17]  That capsized.
[00:13:18]  And everybody suspected it was sabotage.
[00:13:21]  When in fact, it wasn't.
[00:13:22]  It was just a ship that capsized.
[00:13:24]  So Joe Sox Lanza...
[00:13:26]  By the way, I hope you're not hearing the bluster of...
[00:13:33]  How did we say this?
[00:13:35]  Yes, the SS Normandy.
[00:13:39]  So the ship capsized.
[00:13:41]  And people thought it was, of course, Nazi saboteurs.
[00:13:45]  But it wasn't.
[00:13:46]  So they went to Joe Sox, Lanza, who ran, I think he was Genevieve, I'm not sure, but he ran the docks, and they said, "Can you help us?"
[00:13:56]  And he said, "Yes, we can, but we have to work it out through Lucky Luciano, who was upstate in Dannemora."
[00:14:05]  Dannemora, I think, is now Clinton's home.
[00:14:10]  Again, remember, this wasn't sabotage, it wasn't anything.
[00:14:16]  And the mob at the time couldn't do anything to stop it.
[00:14:18]  But they didn't necessarily tell them about it.
[00:14:21]  So they made a deal.
[00:14:22]  Okay, if you can make this stop or help us stop this, we will let Lucky loose, so to speak.
[00:14:33]  Not release him necessarily free, but release him to be deported back to La Cara Frida.
[00:14:40]  Anyway, and the rest is history.
[00:14:41]  That was a boring story.
[00:14:43]  This is the glass house.
[00:14:45]  This is the glass house.
[00:14:47]  And people who live in glass houses, as you know, you know the rest of the story.
[00:14:50]  This is where I saw Robert Kennedy Jr. and Shmuley Botiach as Robert Kennedy was doing his public apologia to explain to the world that he wasn't anti-Semitic because he suggested that at some particular point there may be,
[00:15:10]  there may come the day When certain pathogens and certain viruses are genetically manufactured and tweaked to attack and to affect certain people.
[00:15:22]  Let me stop and read some of your comments.
[00:15:28]  Hoghead, why is it called Hell's Kitchen?
[00:15:31]  Great question.
[00:15:32]  If you ask people, to this day, they don't know.
[00:15:37]  The best answer I understand is if I believe.
[00:15:41]  Is that late 19th century, it was a very rough place.
[00:15:46]  This was bad.
[00:15:47]  In the 70s in particular, you did not want to come here.
[00:15:51]  But now it's, oh, multi-gazillion dollar apartments and the gentrification.
[00:15:57]  But at one particular time, there was a police officer who had a rookie.
[00:16:01]  And the rookie was being told how dangerous it was.
[00:16:06]  And the police officer, who I believe had a name, of course he had a name, but I think it was noted, said to this rookie, the only thing hotter than hell is Hell's Kitchen.
[00:16:18]  And that's kind of where you are now.
[00:16:20]  So hence the name.
[00:16:22]  There was some ridiculous story bandied about that.
[00:16:25]  It was Heil's Kitchen, a German restaurant, which is ridiculous.
[00:16:31]  Some of the best car washes here.

=== Donuts and the Intrepid (04:33) ===

[00:16:33]  This one, I don't know if you can see this to your left.
[00:16:36]  To your left.
[00:16:37]  What the hell does that mean?
[00:16:39]  To my left, your right, whatever.
[00:16:41]  They used to serve donuts.
[00:16:43]  Donuts?
[00:16:44]  Yes.
[00:16:45]  Donuts as you either drove through.
[00:16:49]  I never tried this one.
[00:16:51]  But there are some great...
[00:16:52]  There are car washes in New York that you would think, I'm not bringing my car to this.
[00:16:57]  They're the best.
[00:16:58]  Now, coming up to your right is the famous Intrepid.
[00:17:03]  This is the Air...
[00:17:04]  And Sea Museum.
[00:17:07]  I don't know if you can see through that.
[00:17:08]  We'll get to that very shortly.
[00:17:10]  This is, oh, this is terrific.
[00:17:13]  Years ago, years ago, ladies and germs, the famous, the Westies ran the West Side.
[00:17:23]  The Javits Center, which is more, which is further down the road.
[00:17:29]  The Intrepid.
[00:17:30]  Anything on the West Side.
[00:17:31]  Any job.
[00:17:33]  Anything.
[00:17:35]  The theater union, stagehands, anything, had to go through the Westies.
[00:17:45]  The Kunin and Featherstone crew, etc., etc., so the story goes.
[00:17:51]  They made a deal where they united, by the way, State of Grace, with Sean Penn, interestingly enough, and Gary Oldman, probably one of the best depictions.
[00:18:02]  Of the Westerns.
[00:18:03]  Gary Oldman.
[00:18:05]  Oldman.
[00:18:06]  I think he's the second best actor next to Daniel.
[00:18:09]  No, take that back.
[00:18:10]  I think he's the best.
[00:18:11]  I think Daniel Day-Lewis might be second.
[00:18:13]  Coming up here, do you see a submarine?
[00:18:16]  That's right, folks.
[00:18:18]  An actual docked submarine, which I want to show you.
[00:18:23]  This is really a lot of, dare I say, fun.
[00:18:28]  We'll get to this in a moment.
[00:18:30]  Check that back.
[00:18:30]  I'll stop my movement here.
[00:18:34]  Isn't that interesting?
[00:18:38]  I cannot tell you how many times I've been on this, and I don't know why.
[00:18:43]  You see the old spy plane, similar to, I'm thinking, the Francis Gary Powers plane.
[00:18:53]  I speak out of turn, I don't know.
[00:18:57]  By the way, there was an old joke that said he was so stupid, he thought Vito Powers was an Italian spy pilot.
[00:19:03]  So you can figure that one out.
[00:19:05]  There we go.
[00:19:06]  Bigger, bolder, never before seen.
[00:19:09]  Now open the new permanent exhibition, the Intrepid Museum, located in Hudson River Park.
[00:19:16]  That's it, my friends.
[00:19:17]  Let me move over here.
[00:19:23]  Ah, yes.
[00:19:24]  There it is.
[00:19:27]  To this day, I will never truly understand.
[00:19:33]  How the ship does not tip over.
[00:19:37]  I know what you're going to say.
[00:19:39]  You're going to say ballast.
[00:19:40]  I understand it.
[00:19:42]  I can answer an essay test, but there we go.
[00:19:47]  Look at this.
[00:19:48]  Look at the size of that one.
[00:19:49]  How does it just not tip over?
[00:19:53]  How is it perfectly balanced?
[00:19:54]  How can it not?
[00:19:55]  Granted, it's moored.
[00:19:57]  You know, there was a time when they had to take this out.
[00:20:01]  To have it repaired.
[00:20:03]  And that was something to see, this thing moving down the Hudson.
[00:20:07]  Look at that.
[00:20:07]  Isn't that beautiful?
[00:20:10]  Think of the men, the history.
[00:20:12]  I think it took flak, or whatever the particular term is, during World War II from the Japanese.
[00:20:24]  We had a bit of a row with them, as you might recall.
[00:20:29]  Circle line.
[00:20:30]  Ah, yes.
[00:20:31]  Circle line.
[00:20:34]  My idea of the inner circle of Dante's hell is to be on a circle line for the rest of my life.
[00:20:41]  The circle line.
[00:20:43]  And there's all kinds of fairies.
[00:20:45]  That's F-E-R-R-I-E-S.
[00:20:47]  Please.
[00:20:48]  No homophobia here, ladies and germs.
[00:20:50]  But there are constantly these fairies back and forth.

=== Pier 84 Boathouse Tour (15:51) ===

[00:20:56]  And this...
[00:20:58]  It's a tourist thing by the by.
[00:21:01]  I'm going to say something parenthetic.
[00:21:04]  It's a free country.
[00:21:06]  And you can wear whatever you want.
[00:21:08]  But why people, young women in particular, believe that it's now fashionable to walk around with their midriff, hanging out, this panis, this paniculus, this tenter-bellied spare tire.
[00:21:22]  I'm sorry.
[00:21:24]  I don't understand it.
[00:21:25]  I don't get it.
[00:21:27]  Makes no sense to me.
[00:21:29]  Pier 84 Boathouse.
[00:21:31]  I know I have no idea what this is.
[00:21:35]  Here, one of the seemingly innumerable men and people patrolling the area, doing something.
[00:21:45]  Let me give them a salute.
[00:21:45]  There you go, sir.
[00:21:46]  Thank you for your service.
[00:21:48]  I tell everybody that.
[00:21:50]  And they like it.
[00:21:51]  But they keep this pretty damn, uh, clean.
[00:21:56]  This area right here, is it here?
[00:22:00]  No, it's up here.
[00:22:00]  This is where they have fountains in the summer that spray children with dirty regenerated or recycled sewer water so they can branch it out.
[00:22:12]  I have a theory about that.
[00:22:13]  I know people here who...
[00:22:15]  Oh, see this?
[00:22:20]  Chuck Schumer was talking about it.
[00:22:23]  I'll finish my theory about that.
[00:22:25]  Chuck Schumer was talking about getting rid of helicopters after that tragedy.
[00:22:32]  Here we go.
[00:22:34]  Yes, right here.
[00:22:35]  This is the area where they have sprinklers and jets for kids too.
[00:22:40]  Again, I was going to say, George Carlin said that when he was a kid, they actually swam in either the Hudson or the East River.
[00:22:50]  With actual human waste floating about.
[00:22:54]  And he believes, and I think there's something to be said for that, that that toughened them.
[00:22:59]  They didn't need vaccines.
[00:23:02]  They didn't need any kind of immunosuppressant boost.
[00:23:06]  No, not suppressant, what I'm saying.
[00:23:08]  They needed no boosters because they were basically raised swimming in human waste.
[00:23:16]  Take that, Fauci.
[00:23:17]  Take that.
[00:23:18]  Are we having shortings coming?
[00:23:26]  Well, Schumer's knee-jerk.
[00:23:27]  Yes, yes.
[00:23:28]  Good, good, good.
[00:23:33]  A lot of fun here.
[00:23:43]  Let me tell you something.
[00:23:44]  Some of these ladies, you know, they talk about the fairer sex, but they are quite athletic, and I say it's about time, damn it.
[00:23:54]  I am not athletic.
[00:23:56]  My idea is a gym on some type of a little elliptical.
[00:24:01]  Here's a man who's paid to hold a stop sign.
[00:24:04]  That's it.
[00:24:06]  Now why he's pointing in that direction, I have no idea.
[00:24:09]  Who's coming from this direction?
[00:24:12]  Oh It
[00:24:18]  Probably unionized.
[00:24:20]  Makes a couple hundred grand a year.
[00:24:23]  Look at this.
[00:24:25]  If you're one of the spirited folks, you can try this.
[00:24:30]  The Beast.
[00:24:32]  Ladies and gentlemen, the Beast.
[00:24:35]  Don't know what this is.
[00:24:36]  Not Mr. Beast.
[00:24:37]  And for the life of me, I do not understand Mr. Beast.
[00:24:40]  This is the Beast.
[00:24:42]  And you're wondering, ah, the smell.
[00:24:44]  The smell of...
[00:24:45]  You might have, like, John's Pass.
[00:24:48]  You know, flauta.
[00:24:52]  Here we go, the Beast.
[00:24:53]  The rules before you ride.
[00:24:55]  Number one, you may get wet.
[00:24:57]  Thank you so much.
[00:24:58]  Number two, hold on to your hat.
[00:25:00]  Three, no food or beverages.
[00:25:02]  Four, it's extreme.
[00:25:03]  Due to speed and bumpiness, we cannot allow infants, pregnant women, people with heart conditions, back, or any other recent injuries on the vulgar.
[00:25:10]  Sit down and buckle up.
[00:25:13]  Number six, 40 inches or taller.
[00:25:15]  Children must be 40 inches tall.
[00:25:17]  Have fun and thanks for riding.
[00:25:20]  This is good too because the more warnings, the better.
[00:25:23]  Think about it.
[00:25:27]  Doesn't interest me in the least.
[00:25:31]  Can you see some little geoengineering trails over there?
[00:25:34]  Can you see this?
[00:25:35]  Maybe not.
[00:25:35]  I can't tell.
[00:25:37]  The dimmings.
[00:25:40]  Loads of boats.
[00:25:42]  Ah, you can smell.
[00:25:44]  All that people who are smoking cigarettes just talking to themselves.
[00:25:49]  Talking to themselves for no particular reason.
[00:25:51]  Going on and on.
[00:25:52]  Just talking.
[00:25:54]  Rambling.
[00:25:56]  Rambling incoherently.
[00:25:57]  Nothing wrong with that.
[00:25:58]  It's a free country.
[00:25:59]  It's a free country, my friend.
[00:26:01]  There's no reason for anybody to think that you have to be coherent or lucid.
[00:26:06]  Nothing in the rule book that says you have to know where you are.
[00:26:10]  Let's stop over here for a second.
[00:26:12]  This is the other side.
[00:26:13]  Again, the West Side Highway.
[00:26:16]  A lot of big...
[00:26:18]  Look at this.
[00:26:20]  Eat tacos on a boat.
[00:26:22]  Is that great or what?
[00:26:24]  It's not too catchy.
[00:26:27]  La Barca Cantina.
[00:26:29]  Eat tacos on a boat.
[00:26:31]  That's it.
[00:26:33]  Sorry for this bad panning.
[00:26:36]  My panning is pretty good.
[00:26:37]  I tend to do it very slowly as I move about.
[00:26:42]  I don't want people to think that I'm videotaping him, so I'm pretending like I'm one of these psychotic people talking to myself, which I am!
[00:26:52]  North River Lobster Company.
[00:26:54]  You know, I've not had lobster in, oh, I don't know how long, but I love a nice sea bug.
[00:27:03]  Isn't this something?
[00:27:04]  Look at this.
[00:27:06]  Who knew we need a bigger boat?
[00:27:09]  Remembering Roy Scheider, ladies and germs.
[00:27:15]  Eat lobster on a boat.
[00:27:17]  You notice the way they market things.
[00:27:19]  Eat tacos on a boat.
[00:27:21]  This one's called the lobster on a boat.
[00:27:24]  Mine's what's called throw up on a boat.
[00:27:30]  Over here, as you know, is a series of marine-themed bric-a-bracs.
[00:27:37]  Wakes with something styrofoam flotation devices for something God can do.
[00:27:45]  Look at this.
[00:27:46]  See, this is everywhere.
[00:27:47]  These little...
[00:27:49]  Close for you to attach to your whatever you want to call it.
[00:27:56]  Isn't that beauteous?
[00:27:58]  Isn't that something?
[00:28:02]  This was quite the activity.
[00:28:05]  Ah, bienvenidos.
[00:28:07]  I thought it tells you where this country is going, you know what I mean?
[00:28:11]  Ladies and gentlemen, I like signs that pop out of nowhere.
[00:28:14]  No motor vehicles.
[00:28:15]  Here?
[00:28:18]  Here?
[00:28:19]  Okay.
[00:28:20]  Eat taco on a boat.
[00:28:23]  Please, dismount.
[00:28:24]  Bicycles, skateboard scooters, please, dismount.
[00:28:28]  Violators may be issued a summons.
[00:28:33]  They're very interesting.
[00:28:34]  Now, over here is the Javits Center.
[00:28:37]  Ladies and Germans, I gotta tell you this.
[00:28:39]  This, this is it.
[00:28:43]  This is the Javits Center.
[00:28:46]  Named after Jacob or Jack Javits, a moderate Republican.
[00:28:51]  I believe he died tragically of ALS, but you see here, this is very interesting, the Javits Center took the bar exam here.
[00:29:04]  Thousands of people, thousands crushed.
[00:29:08]  Everybody had their IDs out on the table.
[00:29:12]  And I swear to God, There wasn't an American driver's license with Chinese passports.
[00:29:19]  I'm wondering, how do they know this?
[00:29:21]  Well, let me tell you about this.
[00:29:23]  One day, Mrs. L and I were watching TV, and it was during the COVID-mania.
[00:29:29]  Oh, here we go.
[00:29:30]  There's the ferry.
[00:29:32]  Again, folks, F-E.
[00:29:34]  This is where you go back and forth to Hoboken or Jersey City or wherever the hell it is.
[00:29:41]  It's a pretty decent trip, in any event.
[00:29:45]  Back to this.
[00:29:46]  So we heard this story about how ambulances were pulling up at the Javits Center.
[00:29:53]  The doctors were in a bound, dealing with the sick.
[00:30:00]  So we said, we've got to see this.
[00:30:02]  It was right during the Rona.
[00:30:04]  I mean, serious.
[00:30:04]  So we walked down.
[00:30:05]  It was nothing.
[00:30:09]  This is...
[00:30:10]  The 11th Avenue, or West Side Highway, there's no place for anything.
[00:30:14]  We went to the front, nothing there.
[00:30:16]  But they just told us on TV, on the news, that there were scores.
[00:30:23]  These are the ferry buses.
[00:30:24]  Let me stop.
[00:30:25]  This is fascinating.
[00:30:27]  These pick you up all over the city and drop you up at the ferry.
[00:30:33]  Again, F-E-R-R-1.
[00:30:37]  These people are lining up.
[00:30:40]  Ready to go into Manhattan from Jersey, looking thrilled to be alive.
[00:30:46]  Like cattle.
[00:30:51]  Is this all there is?
[00:30:54]  Is this all there are?
[00:30:55]  Ah, e-bikes.
[00:30:56]  The bane of my existence, ladies and germs.
[00:30:59]  Look at the look of excitement on their face as they begin their trudge, the slog, the drudgery.
[00:31:08]  as they move like cattle
[00:31:16]  Isn't freedom great?
[00:31:19]  This is something that is called art.
[00:31:22]  Don't know why.
[00:31:24]  But somebody probably paid a fortune for this piece of shit.
[00:31:28]  I don't know what this is called.
[00:31:29]  I think it's called a piece of shit.
[00:31:32]  Are we having fun, yes or no?
[00:31:34]  Give me a one.
[00:31:35]  Give me a five by five.
[00:31:36]  Just do something.
[00:31:37]  I'm doing this for you, mind you.
[00:31:39]  But to be honest, I get up in the morning, I can perambulate, I can locomotive out.
[00:31:45]  My sister even called me.
[00:31:47]  She said, I watch your walkabouts, as the Aussies call it.
[00:31:53]  Your walking tours.
[00:31:55]  That's it.
[00:31:57]  Somebody wants to hear about my thoughts on tariffs.
[00:32:00]  Trump's 100 days.
[00:32:01]  Eh, who needs it?
[00:32:04]  Check out these...
[00:32:05]  There are more people in this little swath of real estate.
[00:32:12]  More people than in some cities.
[00:32:15]  Right here.
[00:32:15]  Just people stacked atop each other.
[00:32:19]  Think about that.
[00:32:20]  Many of these places, by the way, empty.
[00:32:23]  Which I find very interesting, don't you?
[00:32:27]  Very interesting.
[00:32:28]  Exceedingly interesting.
[00:32:31]  I don't know how much more I'm going to...
[00:32:34]  If you're enjoying this, I'll do a little bit more of this.
[00:32:36]  Again, more people ready for their...
[00:32:38]  many for their...
[00:32:40]  looking at me like I'm demented, and for good reason.
[00:32:45]  Can't you see the look of excitement?
[00:32:47]  By the way, no earbuds.
[00:32:49]  No earbuds.
[00:32:50]  Mine are always tethered.
[00:32:52]  You're putting radiation in your ears on both sides of your head.
[00:32:59]  I think I'm going to...
[00:33:02]  Show you a couple more things and then that's it.
[00:33:08]  Huh?
[00:33:09]  Get your motor running.
[00:33:11]  Head out on the highway looking for adventure.
[00:33:16]  Whatever comes our way.
[00:33:21]  This is the Atlantic Star.
[00:33:24]  Of course, Mexican or Spanish music.
[00:33:28]  A lovely tune.
[00:33:32]  Cushions floating about.
[00:33:34]  Notice how expert I am with the nautical terms.
[00:33:39]  I really know my stuff.
[00:33:42]  I'm going to show you a couple of things here.
[00:33:46]  There's a great car club, which I think is rather interesting.
[00:33:51]  This is Starship Tours and Events.
[00:33:53]  Remember Starship?
[00:33:54]  We built this city knee-deep in the hoopla.
[00:33:58]  You know who wrote Knee Deep in the Hoopla?
[00:34:00]  I think it was Bernie Taupin, along with the usual folks.
[00:34:05]  A lot of sightseeing here.
[00:34:08]  Let me tell you, again, I'm not exactly a big fan of the sightseeing.
[00:34:12]  After five minutes on this boat, you say, I got it.
[00:34:16]  I understand.
[00:34:18]  The world's best ferry, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:34:21]  My vote for that would be Alan Seuss.
[00:34:24]  Ask your parents.
[00:34:26]  Can you hear the seagulls?
[00:34:29]  See that guy in the back with that little uni?
[00:34:32]  That is a death trap.
[00:34:35]  I would do a special...
[00:34:37]  Morgan and Morgan, are you injured?
[00:34:40]  Do you want to be injured?
[00:34:41]  Are you stupid enough to get on this goddamn thing?
[00:34:46]  This is a beautiful structure that I can't really figure out what it is.
[00:34:50]  Notice all the piers are numbered.
[00:34:53]  See, look at this.
[00:34:54]  This says, no bikes.
[00:34:57]  And this says, no walking, I guess, or no breakdancing, or no polka.
[00:35:04]  I'm not sure what that means.
[00:35:05]  No walking?
[00:35:07]  You don't want to...
[00:35:09]  No bikes and no walking.
[00:35:11]  Well, what the hell are we supposed to do?
[00:35:13]  I don't understand this.
[00:35:15]  Again, a lot of these, a lot of warnings that nobody ever pays attention to.
[00:35:20]  Let me show you.
[00:35:21]  This is Pier 76, as you can see.
[00:35:25]  Isn't this groovy?
[00:35:27]  Let me see if you can see that out there.
[00:35:30]  This is an event space.
[00:35:32]  I think that's what the kids call it.
[00:35:37]  Flags are at half-mast.
[00:35:39]  And I believe it's because of the Pope, perhaps?
[00:35:43]  Maybe?
[00:35:45]  We have the New York flag, New York City flag, and this one on the right, I don't know what that is.
[00:35:52]  I have no idea.
[00:35:53]  I'm going to go to the next one.
[00:35:58]  A lot of propellered themes here.
[00:36:01]  This is one I want to show you.
[00:36:04]  If you can still bear with me, if I'm not losing you, ladies and germs, if I'm not losing you.
[00:36:11]  I've been using that corny term too much.
[00:36:14]  You know, sometimes when people run, they look so painful.
[00:36:17]  I mean, God bless them.
[00:36:19]  But I just don't think humans should run.
[00:36:21]  Look at this, huh?
[00:36:23]  Imagine a big concert or something there, I guess.
[00:36:26]  Covered by nothing.
[00:36:27]  Kind of a...

=== Losing Power (12:51) ===

[00:36:29]  I'm going to walk down there, but what's the point?
[00:36:31]  I want to show you something, because I'm losing out of power.
[00:36:35]  I ain't got no power, Kappam!
[00:36:37]  That's my attempt at Scottish.
[00:36:39]  This is a classic club car.
[00:36:42]  This is interesting.
[00:36:44]  This is a New York City, I guess...
[00:36:50]  I hope you can hear the seagulls.
[00:36:52]  A club?
[00:36:54]  This is the clubhouse and stable.
[00:36:59]  Members only.
[00:37:01]  Classic...
[00:37:01]  Classic car club.
[00:37:05]  Or club car, as I call it.
[00:37:07]  I don't know what they did.
[00:37:09]  I don't see any classic cars.
[00:37:11]  I think you could rent them.
[00:37:14]  I have no earthly idea.
[00:37:18]  It gets pretty boring down here.
[00:37:19]  You know what?
[00:37:20]  Let me go back.
[00:37:21]  Let me take you down to this park right now.
[00:37:24]  Let me take you down, because I'm going to Strawberry Field.
[00:37:32]  Nothing...
[00:37:32]  Sorry, I've never been a big Beatles fan.
[00:37:38]  I know, can you imagine me saying that?
[00:37:40]  How heretical.
[00:37:40]  Not to be a Beatles fan?
[00:37:42]  What's the matter?
[00:37:46]  You know, come to think of it, this looks exceedingly boring.
[00:37:50]  There's another propeller.
[00:37:52]  Let me tell you a couple of things before we get done.
[00:37:55]  I think I am in the wrong.
[00:37:56]  Ah, this is the walking area.
[00:37:59]  A stickler for detail.
[00:38:02]  There we go.
[00:38:04]  I want to do a show.
[00:38:07]  Listen to my idea.
[00:38:09]  I've always wanted to do a show called...
[00:38:11]  Pardon my French.
[00:38:12]  I don't want to...
[00:38:14]  I'm not normally profane, but the show is called Where the Fuck Are They Going?
[00:38:18]  And I will stop people randomly.
[00:38:21]  And ask you, excuse me, where the fuck are you going?
[00:38:24]  And we'll follow them.
[00:38:26]  Just one day we'll just follow somebody.
[00:38:29]  Because everybody is going somewhere.
[00:38:32]  They're on their way to do something.
[00:38:34]  Except for me and this guy here.
[00:38:38]  And I want to ask people, where are you going?
[00:38:42]  What are you doing?
[00:38:46]  Such pained expressions.
[00:38:48]  The sound of...
[00:38:50]  You know, that panting cannot be good for you.
[00:38:53]  And the reason why I say that is that we are bipedal.
[00:38:55]  We have two feet.
[00:38:58]  Quadrupeds are able to transition energy better.
[00:39:03]  Look at this.
[00:39:04]  The day you see me...
[00:39:05]  That's an interesting gait.
[00:39:07]  The day you see me wearing a parachute with a suit...
[00:39:12]  I hate that.
[00:39:17]  Give me a...
[00:39:19]  What is this?
[00:39:22]  I want to party with that guy.
[00:39:24]  That's all I want to know.
[00:39:25]  How are you?
[00:39:30]  What was I saying about running?
[00:39:32]  Ah, who cares?
[00:39:33]  You don't care.
[00:39:38]  Are you having fun?
[00:39:40]  I'd look at my phone, but I can't see because of the glare and the sun.
[00:39:45]  You know, I've been doing this YouTube thing for a long time.
[00:39:50]  And every now and then I'll say something.
[00:39:52]  Oh, that's good.
[00:39:54]  I'll go on various shows.
[00:39:55]  My good friend Natalie and Clayton on Redacted or Sean Atwood.
[00:40:01]  I'm booking a Charles Ortel coming up.
[00:40:04]  We're going to have him back on.
[00:40:06]  Oh, we.
[00:40:06]  What do you mean we?
[00:40:07]  It's me.
[00:40:08]  Then I've got Eric Thaddeus Walters the Great.
[00:40:15]  The great mind, the wit from Rome.
[00:40:19]  And people say, that's terrific.
[00:40:21]  And it is good.
[00:40:21]  They are great.
[00:40:22]  Great numbers, great response.
[00:40:24]  But I take a call, a phone, and I walk around.
[00:40:28]  And I just mumble nonsense.
[00:40:31]  Seriously.
[00:40:32]  Mumbling nonsense.
[00:40:34]  And people are saying, I love it.
[00:40:36]  That's great.
[00:40:38]  I'm thinking, this?
[00:40:39]  Yes.
[00:40:40]  Okay.
[00:40:43]  Next we're going to go to Central Park.
[00:40:44]  Oh, that's a good one.
[00:40:46]  I'll take you there next.
[00:40:47]  Maybe tomorrow.
[00:40:48]  If you want it, leave something in the comments section.
[00:40:52]  And don't forget, how do you thank me for this?
[00:40:54]  Pay me.
[00:40:56]  I don't make any bones about it.
[00:40:57]  Pay me.
[00:40:58]  All of us are doing it to be paid.
[00:41:02]  PayPal and Venmo and buy me a coffee.
[00:41:07]  Filipino Krugerrands.
[00:41:09]  I don't care.
[00:41:10]  Deutsche Mark, Bitcoin, bit shoot, poop shoot, I don't give a damn what it is.
[00:41:15]  If it has any value whatsoever, if it can be smelted or sold or pawned, I'll take it.
[00:41:21]  Why?
[00:41:23]  Because I'm in it for the greenback, the gold, the soldi, pecunia.
[00:41:29]  I get more people.
[00:41:30]  Excuse me, sir.
[00:41:31]  Where the fuck are you going?
[00:41:34]  I think it's a great idea.
[00:41:36]  This week we follow this guy.
[00:41:39]  We just pick somebody out of just randomly.
[00:41:42]  And you know what I found out?
[00:41:43]  People are pretty interesting.
[00:41:45]  Everybody's got a story.
[00:41:48]  Oh, can you see these garbage scows?
[00:41:53]  And from our window, I see some of the strangest vessels.
[00:42:01]  But I can't really make out what they are.
[00:42:05]  You know, trash and garbage and whatever.
[00:42:08]  But Hudson River, ladies and gentlemen, is quite the waterway.
[00:42:18]  Just think, you take this all the way to the top, you curve around where West Point was, where Benedict Arnold would pull the chain to thwart British ships.
[00:42:33]  The history here, you know what's really historic is New Jersey.
[00:42:36]  Unbelievable.
[00:42:45]  Unbelievable.
[00:42:45]  Something about people sitting and eating.
[00:42:48]  I'm a very quick eater.
[00:42:50]  If I take a sandwich or something, I see how much can I put in my mouth at one time.
[00:42:56]  Other people can sit and they take these little bird bites.
[00:42:59]  I don't do that.
[00:43:01]  You can't taste it.
[00:43:02]  You have to have a certain amount of acreage and square.
[00:43:06]  Meters of food per bite.
[00:43:08]  Oops, excuse me.
[00:43:10]  That taco's acting up.
[00:43:12]  But you have to have enough food to really enjoy it.
[00:43:16]  That's like potato chips.
[00:43:17]  Popcorn.
[00:43:19]  Handfuls.
[00:43:20]  Or is it hands full?
[00:43:21]  You decide.
[00:43:22]  Leave a comment.
[00:43:24]  That's what they always say on YouTube.
[00:43:26]  What do you think?
[00:43:26]  Leave a comment.
[00:43:29]  I don't give a shit.
[00:43:30]  Leave a comment.
[00:43:32]  Eat tacos on a boat.
[00:43:35]  That's some ad copy, folks.
[00:43:38]  La Barca.
[00:43:40]  We're going back, obviously, as you can see.
[00:43:44]  Look at this.
[00:43:45]  40 bucks.
[00:43:46]  Max to close.
[00:43:51]  Did you ever think there was this much activity here?
[00:43:54]  Seriously.
[00:43:55]  A lot of you folks, people love to trash New York.
[00:43:58]  I hate New York.
[00:44:00]  You ever been?
[00:44:00]  No.
[00:44:02]  No.
[00:44:02]  Why do you hate it?
[00:44:03]  Well, I don't hate it.
[00:44:04]  Yes, you do.
[00:44:05]  Well, I say I hate it.
[00:44:07]  Why do you say you hate it?
[00:44:08]  Well, because that's what I do.
[00:44:10]  I just say stuff.
[00:44:12]  Like Virginia's Euphraie.
[00:44:14]  They killed her.
[00:44:15]  How do you know that?
[00:44:16]  I don't know.
[00:44:18]  I just say that.
[00:44:19]  Do you have any information?
[00:44:21]  No.
[00:44:22]  Anybody tell you that?
[00:44:23]  No.
[00:44:25]  By the by, if anybody's interested, you know her husband wouldn't have gotten a penny from that.
[00:44:33]  Reported 15 million bucks or more.
[00:44:36]  Can you see the intrepid straight ahead?
[00:44:39]  I don't want to enlarge this because it...
[00:44:42]  There's something you don't hear too often.
[00:44:44]  I don't want to enlarge this.
[00:44:47]  Look at the planes assembled.
[00:44:49]  But in any event, I kind of keep an eye on them.
[00:44:54]  You know what else I would put my money on if I had to bet?
[00:44:57]  Fentanyl.
[00:44:58]  Oh, yeah.
[00:44:59]  See, she was going to have a lot of pain.
[00:45:02]  They were making her out to be a nut.
[00:45:04]  She was crazy.
[00:45:06]  Uh-huh.
[00:45:07]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:45:08]  And she was a lunatic.
[00:45:10]  Right, right, right.
[00:45:12]  So maybe she took something.
[00:45:13]  Oh!
[00:45:14]  She overdosed.
[00:45:15]  Let me tell you something right now.
[00:45:16]  Nobody overdoses on fentanyl.
[00:45:18]  It's a poison.
[00:45:22]  There's a woman sitting there.
[00:45:24]  Bless her heart.
[00:45:24]  She looks like her name is Madge.
[00:45:27]  Smoking a tarot.
[00:45:28]  With all of her belongings and a suitcase.
[00:45:30]  It makes me sad when I see people like that.
[00:45:32]  I really...
[00:45:33]  They don't hurt anybody.
[00:45:34]  They're not bothering anybody.
[00:45:37]  I don't know.
[00:45:38]  I would love to know what their story is.
[00:45:40]  What happened?
[00:45:42]  Again, waiting more lines.
[00:45:46]  My father used to always say, I don't want to wait in the line.
[00:45:49]  Why?
[00:45:50]  If you're in the military, you hate lines.
[00:45:55]  I said, yeah.
[00:45:57]  I think there's probably more to dislike about the military.
[00:46:00]  I would imagine.
[00:46:01]  I don't know.
[00:46:02]  Waiting for the circle line.
[00:46:05]  Look at the backpacks.
[00:46:06]  The omnipresent backpacks.
[00:46:09]  This man here making sure nobody stops.
[00:46:13]  This is his job.
[00:46:15]  He has on 12 helmets and a sign that says stop.
[00:46:22]  I want you to understand something.
[00:46:23]  We're not kidding around here.
[00:46:24]  Don't even think about coming here.
[00:46:26]  Don't even think about it.
[00:46:32]  Again, stop.
[00:46:33]  Stop.
[00:46:34]  Don't go here.
[00:46:35]  Don't think.
[00:46:35]  Another man.
[00:46:36]  Stop.
[00:46:37]  In the name of love.
[00:46:41]  There we go.
[00:46:42]  See the intrepid?
[00:46:44]  Isn't that something?
[00:46:47]  Imagine those Japanese bastards.
[00:46:49]  Excuse me.
[00:46:50]  Not the current Japanese bastards.
[00:46:51]  The World War II zeros.
[00:46:55]  What a terrible name for a...
[00:46:57]  I don't think they named it that, but...
[00:47:00]  What are you?
[00:47:00]  I'm a Zero.
[00:47:01]  I'm a Spitfire.
[00:47:03]  I'm a Mustang.
[00:47:05]  What are you?
[00:47:06]  I'm a Zero.
[00:47:09]  There was this great comedian years ago, I don't know who it was, who said that the way Japanese soldiers were always depicted in planes during combat, during dogfights.
[00:47:23]  They would have the American soldier, great engine, Rolls-Royce engine, you know, Dana Andrews, flying, and their cockpit, the actual canopy was open, and there was no wind,
[00:47:39]  no nothing, and they could talk on some kind of an intercom with the Japanese soldiers, or pilots, which I thought was odd.
[00:47:49]  And you would see...
[00:47:52]  This terrible, filthy, disgusting, angry Japanese pilot.
[00:48:00]  Okay, thank you, doodle dandy.
[00:48:03]  And their plane was terrible.
[00:48:07]  There were zeros.
[00:48:08]  Bucket of bolts, loud noise.
[00:48:11]  But the American plane, smooth.
[00:48:14]  German even worse.
[00:48:16]  No racism there, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:48:19]  None whatsoever.
[00:48:24]  Manhattan, mini-storage.
[00:48:27]  Straight ahead.
[00:48:29]  Can you see the construction?
[00:48:30]  More of these.
[00:48:31]  See that little finger of building?
[00:48:34]  Ugly.
[00:48:36]  Do you know that these are hundreds of millions of dollars per either floor or unit.
[00:48:44]  Bought by oligarchs around the world as money havens.
[00:48:49]  1984.
[00:48:51]  Do the math.
[00:48:54]  Yes, there are.
[00:48:55]  But they're empty.
[00:48:57]  Completely, totally empty.
[00:49:00]  And what's interesting, what I find interesting is that when you get to that height, not height, but that height, there's no cell phones.

=== Why Languages Matter (06:04) ===

[00:49:09]  No cell reception whatsoever.
[00:49:11]  None.
[00:49:13]  Nobody knows who lives there.
[00:49:14]  Nobody lives there.
[00:49:16]  A hundred million dollars?
[00:49:19]  For what?
[00:49:22]  And they're all over the place.
[00:49:24]  Look at these, see?
[00:49:25]  Can you see this?
[00:49:28]  You can see this triangular, this pyramidal top.
[00:49:33]  That's the World Plaza.
[00:49:34]  That's where the original, well, one of the original Madison Square Gardens were.
[00:49:40]  Now look at that beauty, huh?
[00:49:41]  Look at that beautiful, beautiful.
[00:49:44]  Keeping America safe.
[00:49:47]  And I mean it.
[00:49:48]  World War II was a different story, ladies and germs.
[00:49:52]  I don't know any Vietnamese or Viet Cong who ever had my First Amendment rights in his crosshairs.
[00:49:57]  I guess theoretically, but that was a generation.
[00:50:02]  And we're still trying to figure out what happened.
[00:50:05]  We're still trying to figure out.
[00:50:07]  Now think about that.
[00:50:08]  We're not really sure exactly.
[00:50:10]  So, Pearl Harbor, did we know about Pearl Harbor?
[00:50:16]  Was that a surprise about Pearl Harbor?
[00:50:18]  I don't know about Pearl Harbor.
[00:50:21]  Not sure.
[00:50:23]  So if we're still debating that, how much do you think we know about, oh, I don't know, Iraqi freedom?
[00:50:29]  Now, is this a perfect design?
[00:50:31]  Somebody somewhere said, I'm going to bend this.
[00:50:36]  I'm down to 20%.
[00:50:37]  I'm doing all right.
[00:50:41]  I hope you've enjoyed this.
[00:50:45]  Languages?
[00:50:47]  I hear languages.
[00:50:49]  Of sounds.
[00:50:50]  In my CVS, there's a sign that says, if you need an interpreter for the following languages, let us know and we'll get one.
[00:51:06]  I don't know why you need this to get some rectal litch cream, but if you do, and I never realized there were that many languages.
[00:51:18]  It's just incredible.
[00:51:20]  The heterogeneity of this place is like nothing you can imagine.
[00:51:24]  And that's a good thing.
[00:51:27]  Leave a comment.
[00:51:31]  Later on, I'll read your comments.
[00:51:35]  All I ask is that you be relatively civil.
[00:51:38]  Be nice to each other.
[00:51:39]  Don't argue with each other.
[00:51:42]  Don't be a prick.
[00:51:43]  That's all.
[00:51:45]  You would think of something called social media, but have so many anti-social people.
[00:51:50]  I don't understand that.
[00:51:51]  I really, honest to God, I do not understand that.
[00:51:55]  I have nothing but love in my heart.
[00:51:58]  Look at this guy here.
[00:52:00]  Is that great or what?
[00:52:02]  Can you imagine him just hitting something?
[00:52:05]  That's about, what, 20 miles an hour?
[00:52:07]  Who knows?
[00:52:09]  And those e-bike engines or batteries, they're known to just blow up.
[00:52:14]  For no particular reason.
[00:52:17]  Very, very dangerous.
[00:52:20]  Bicycle helmets?
[00:52:21]  No way to wear one without thinking of this sound.
[00:52:27]  That's terrible.
[00:52:28]  In high school, what...
[00:52:30]  This is terrible.
[00:52:33]  My friend.
[00:52:34]  My friend.
[00:52:35]  Oh, God.
[00:52:36]  Scott.
[00:52:38]  His favorite joke was, he goes, what's Helen Keller's dog's name?
[00:52:44]  Terrible.
[00:52:44]  Not even funny.
[00:52:48]  Did you ever see her dog?
[00:52:50]  She didn't either.
[00:52:51]  Terrible.
[00:52:52]  Horrible.
[00:52:55]  Why was her cane yellow?
[00:52:57]  Her dog was blind too.
[00:52:59]  Disgusting.
[00:53:01]  How did she burn her fingers?
[00:53:03]  Trying to read the waffle iron.
[00:53:05]  Terrible.
[00:53:06]  How did her parents punish her?
[00:53:08]  Rearrange her furniture.
[00:53:10]  By the way, Manson did that.
[00:53:12]  Supposedly.
[00:53:14]  Helen Keller jokes.
[00:53:16]  Have we stooped to that level?
[00:53:18]  Have we?
[00:53:19]  Have we gotten that low?
[00:53:21]  Leave a comment.
[00:53:23]  Well, anyway, my friends, I don't want this thing to poop out in the middle of my brilliant dissertation.
[00:53:28]  Let me tell you the following, okay?
[00:53:31]  Listen carefully.
[00:53:33]  I want to thank you.
[00:53:34]  I hope you've enjoyed this.
[00:53:36]  I had a nice little constitutional.
[00:53:38]  I'm walking out here.
[00:53:40]  I love this.
[00:53:41]  Leave a comment.
[00:53:43]  Do you want more of this?
[00:53:44]  Leave a comment.
[00:53:47]  Do you want less of this?
[00:53:48]  I can't help you with that.
[00:53:50]  But if somebody had told me, seriously, that this would be popular?
[00:53:55]  Well, compare, look, I'm no Mr. Beast, and I don't want to be.
[00:53:59]  But I would have thought, why is this interesting?
[00:54:04]  But it is.
[00:54:05]  So if it is, that's great.
[00:54:06]  Leave a comment.
[00:54:07]  I'm going to be doing more of this.
[00:54:09]  I want to thank you.
[00:54:10]  Let me remind you to follow Mrs. L at Lin's Warriors.
[00:54:13]  I'll be doing a live later.
[00:54:16]  I don't know.
[00:54:18]  I'm not really sure.
[00:54:19]  Let's see how this goes.
[00:54:21]  In any event, my dear friends, I want to thank you for your support.
[00:54:24]  Thank you for your patronage.
[00:54:27]  Thank you for your love.
[00:54:29]  Thank you for your contributions.
[00:54:31]  I can't see who did what.
[00:54:33]  I really...
[00:54:34]  You know what?
[00:54:34]  We love each other.
[00:54:36]  You know you love me.
[00:54:38]  Something like Sally Field.
[00:54:39]  You know you do.
[00:54:40]  You love this.
[00:54:41]  And so many of you have met other friends talking about this.
[00:54:45]  Hey, Harold.
[00:54:47]  Hey, you know.
[00:54:48]  Whatever.
[00:54:49]  And that's wonderful.
[00:54:50]  It's very interesting.
[00:54:52]  And despite the fact that there's certain words we can't say, lest we be removed to internet oblivion.
[00:54:59]  In any event, my friends, thank you so much.
[00:55:01]  Have a great and a glorious day.
[00:55:03]  We will see you later.
[00:55:05]  I thank you for this, and don't forget these final words.
[00:55:08]  The monkey's dead.
[00:55:09]  The show's over.
[00:55:10]  Sue you.
