00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: It was beautify.

21
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: Were you outside or inside?

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: Inside? And then I went outside? God, it was flurrying.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: It was like this Christmas season has been the most

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: Christmas ye I have felt in years. I went to

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: the rock Filler Christmas Show, I went to the tree lighting.

26
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 3: I am loving this Christmas season so much.

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: Look at you, you're owning it. Yes, we know a

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: lot of people were saying that because of what happened

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: with the shooting up here uptown yesterday, people would'd be

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: too afraid to come out. They're saying they had a

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: record crowd last night. Everyone came out to see the

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 1: lighting of the tree.

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 3: It was insane. The crowds were like, I've never seen

34
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: New York that like gridlocked with people before. It was nuts.

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: And you don't get a little nervous when you're gridlocked

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: with people. I get a little crazy.

37
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 3: I think from doing so many events over the years

38
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: and having to be the guide where I keep my

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: hand out and everyone's like follows me. I'm like the

40
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: lead duckling for you guys. Yeah, we go to events.

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: I'm used to just being able to weave in and

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: out of the crowds really quick like that.

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: There were people that didn't even have a view of

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: the tree, like they were there were blocks away, so

45
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: all they heard was just cheering and singing.

46
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 3: And that was the one thing that like once the

47
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: tree went on, like the countdown, it lit up and

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: I went. I went with Josh and I looked at him,

49
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: and I go, okay, we could go now, and we were

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: in for it. And I've never been to the ball

51
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: Drop before, but I'm wondering if it's that kind of

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: anti climactic.

53
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Once it's on, You're like, the ball drop is a

54
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: little different, because I mean, all that goes into crowd

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: controlled and stuff, is the ball drops a little different.

56
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: You have to be in the stanchions by a certain time.

57
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: You cannot leave to go to the bathroom. There's no bathroom.

58
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: It's the ball drop is awful unless you can get

59
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: like a suite over at least you can get a

60
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: suite overlooking the ball drop. Yeah, she's right. People pee

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,559
Speaker 1: in their pants.

62
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: People wear it depends there because they know they're going

63
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: to be standing around all day long and not have

64
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: bathroom access.

65
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: Scary.

66
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 5: And I one year we were at a party near

67
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 5: Time Square above Time.

68
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: Square the eminem Store. It was New Year's Eve.

69
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, and and like as soon as the ball drops,

70
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 5: it yeah, cheering, and you know they're cheering and applauding

71
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 5: and you know, yay New Year's and then sixty seconds

72
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 5: after that, it's it's like a mass of zombies trying

73
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 5: to get through the stanchions and then as they leave,

74
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 5: you just see piles of trash and gatory bottles.

75
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you know what, they're kind of famous

76
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: for getting all cleaned up by us.

77
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: In Disney World, like the next day, January one, the

78
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 4: street is clear.

79
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: So we did New Year's in Disney for many, many years,

80
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: and we would usually do Epcot, or we would do

81
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: one of the other parks anyway, So Epcot's amazing, but

82
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: we would we didn't have specific things we would do

83
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: because we knew at midnight what was gonna happen. So

84
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: at eleven PM we would leave when nobody else was leaving.

85
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: We'd get right on, you know, the transportation, get back

86
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: to the hotel, and then we'd watch the fireworks from

87
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,279
Speaker 2: the hotel balconies because you could see all the fireworks.

88
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: And this way we didn't have to deal with the

89
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: craziness getting out of the park.

90
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: Smart so you know how to do it.

91
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the way to do.

92
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: We learned also at Epcot. Do you take the back

93
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: way out?

94
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 3: Oh?

95
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you never go out by the by the globe.

96
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you always go out. You can always go out

97
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: like right after England and Canada over.

98
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: There and exactly right next to Canada. Goodbye. We always

99
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: exit right in Canada. Yeah, so if you're gonna do

100
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: a New York celebration, then you got to know the

101
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: inns and the outs the inns when it comes to

102
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree lining or the ball drop, you need

103
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: to know people that have private suites that you can

104
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: stand with.

105
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 6: And if you don't and you have contails and you

106
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 6: are in Times Square for like the ball drop on

107
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 6: New Years, have a plan to go afterwards, because what

108
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 6: ends up happening is after those people leave, they're looking

109
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 6: for a place to go, and a lot of those

110
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 6: bars and restaurants have their doors locked from the inside,

111
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 6: so the people that are partying are there and they

112
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 6: don't allow people in. So well that's a major problem

113
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 6: of finding what are you doing at twelve fifteen.

114
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Where you're going? So you have to have, yeah, a

115
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: plan because yeah.

116
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: This is really aging me. The last time I was

117
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: at Rockefeller setter for the tree lighting, the actual night

118
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: was when Britney Spears and n Sync were hosting it

119
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 2: or performing. So yeah, I don't know remember it was

120
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: her birthday, but I remember sitting backstage with actually Goomba

121
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: Johnny because he was on KTU at the time. We

122
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: interviewed Brittany. We interviewed in sinc. We had the best

123
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: time with them. I remember I was there all day

124
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: waiting for Insinct to finish eating because they had to

125
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: eat first. But we had a great time. And I

126
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: remember sitting with Brittany and I was wearing a very

127
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 2: big purple sweater and she said to me, I love

128
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: your purple Sweater's so pretty. And I said, well, that's

129
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: so nice, thank you. I love what you're wearing. And

130
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: she said, will they tell me what to wear? I

131
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: don't get to do my own thing. And she was

132
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: not a happy camper. And this was years ago.

133
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,119
Speaker 4: You talked to her before she was even born.

134
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so it was a long long time ago.

135
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: That's the last time I was working or at that

136
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: tree lighting. Now we just watched it on television.

137
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: How this You Ever been to one of those Rockefeller

138
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 4: Center or Times Square on New Year's I've been.

139
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: To both, absolutely, and I vowed never to do it again.

140
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: And the thanks never been to the No. I went

141
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: to the balloon blow up, but I didn't go to

142
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: the parade. But what was I gonna say? Oh, we

143
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: were doing a Z one hundred event at the Marriott

144
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Marquee above Times Square for New Year's Eve one year,

145
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: and we were but we were so far up you'd

146
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: have to like put your head and your nose against

147
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: a glass. Yeah, that was going. But all the confetti

148
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: it was kind of wild because we were the forty

149
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: floors up or whatever. All the confetti blows up, so

150
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: it was it was a storm of confetti blowing towards

151
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: the sky up there in the middle of you know,

152
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: of the hotel. It was kind of a weird sensation.

153
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: But we had bathrooms and we had a bar.

154
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 7: So I did that one time. I was working the

155
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 7: Ouse Traveler show at Roseland in nineteen ninety six and

156
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 7: I popped my head out, walked down the block and

157
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 7: it was just mayhem, and I ran back inside. I said,

158
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 7: I will never do this again.

159
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: And I haven't. They gave you the run around, Hi.

160
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they still do this.

161
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: There's a little museum down in the city and it's

162
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: like the Times Square Museum and it's all about New

163
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: Year's Eve and stuff like that. And I remember I

164
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: went once and they let us write.

165
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 7: On pieces that you're going on right now.

166
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you write on the confetti, right, and that's the

167
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: confetti that gets thrown out. So a lot of the

168
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: confetti has little notes on it that people write on

169
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: there when they throw it out into the crowd. Because

170
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: I remember writing on a piece one.

171
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: You know they practiced that though, like a few days

172
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: before they do it on New Year's Eve. Think they

173
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: practice throwing paper.

174
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: Well, maybe there's a talent to it.

175
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: So you know a lot of people say, well, do

176
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: I want to see it from Times Square on New

177
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: Year's Eve? Do I want to be at the Rocket

178
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: photo Christmas tree lining? Do I want to be at

179
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: the Grammys? The Edentines usually know it's much so much

180
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: better to sit in the comfort of your own home

181
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: and watch it because the TV cameras, the cameras have

182
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: the best angle. There's no one pushing on and shoving

183
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: on you. You're right there. You can go to your bathroom,

184
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,679
Speaker 1: you can make a cocktail on your own You're good.

185
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: So that's my thought. How boring am I? And then

186
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: Andrew is still high from being at the tree lighting

187
