You do have to be brave to live in New York. Only some of the bravest guys live here. There's a lot of bravery. I saw a guy jumping over the turnstiles at the subway. What? That's unbelievable. I could never do that. I crawl under. I...
You gotta be brave to live here, you know? Because you can get tricked. I'm getting tricked. I'm getting tricked. I'm serious. They're tricking me a lot. You know these guys, they sell the charities at you? They got the vests on? You know, these... They got the clipboard? They're good. They're unbelievable, you know? They're always tricking me. They got little riddles, you know? They got traps and stuff. If you get any of them wrong, you have to solve world hunger. It's... The first trap they have is they say, I love your shirt. It took me two or three times to realize I did not love my shirt. This is not a coincidence, you know? What I learned is you're meant to say, thank you so much, and you keep walking, all right? You got to ignore these guys. But then they got a second riddle. And they say, do you know the only state that ends with the letter K?
That's very hard not to stop for.
That's very intriguing. I'm like, I don't know, Kentucky?
And they say, no, it's New York.
Isn't that charming? Isn't that nice? That's where we are right now. The answer was beneath our feet. This is unbelievable. But you get it wrong, and I had to give them all my credit cards. But I've adapted, you know? You got to adapt to the city. I'm adapting. I know what you're supposed to do. The other day, they tried to get me. They work in twos, you know? I'm walking on the street. One of them comes up to me. He's like, I like your shirt. I say thank you, and I keep going. And the other guy, he goes, well, do you know the only state? And I say New York. He perishes. He's dead. He's... Keep going, you know?
You got to be brave. People are brave here. People are obsessed with crimes in New York. They love it. They love... I know they're obsessed, because there's a... You guys got an app called Citizen. Yeah. Get it, girl.
It's so... It's unbelievable, you know? This app, it's... If you don't know what it is, it shows you a map of New York City, and it shows you every single crime going on at that exact moment. There's a second map on there. It shows you every registered sex offender that lives near you. It's unbelievable. People are obsessed with this app. There's a premium function. You can pay money to it, you know? I think you match with them. I don't know. I don't know. Sorry.
