Ah, let's watch a polar bear do a real swim. Let's watch the polar bear do a real swim. Let me get my one glove on here. Welcome to Coney Island, where we're not in the wind just yet. Let him in the wind just yet. I want to see how this gimbal reacts to the heavy winds. Ah, good to see you there, subculture. I'll be seeing you in a little bit. Not foggy today. Now it's a beautiful day. Other than the heavy winds. Other than the heavy winds, it's a perfectly fine beautiful day here on Coney Island. So, I got everything on me. All right, pack that away. All right, there's my other glove. This is too silly. Up gonna freak bar imminently after. Immediately after this swim. Now, I'm gonna hang out, have the Freak bar, and I think we're gonna do a sunset today as a

freak bar right over there. Actually, do I got time on its light? I got three seconds. I'll take the three seconds. That's Bob. Can everyone say hi to Bob? Cat, wait, will to power both of our heads in the bar for a second. I gotta go in that direction anyway. Not beautiful out here. Hey, there's nothing short of beautiful out here. I tell you what, let's dip in. Yeah, how does it sugar make all this money and then nobody's ever in there? Go to Williams Butter, Williams Candy Store. It's better. It's not a beautiful day in Coney Island. Love that cone EMU. All right, okay, hidden this sun. Gotta stay in the sun. Sun and a stay in the sun. They say hi to Bob who's watching the live stream. Hey Bob, come to the Freak bar. They're open until five o'clock and it's plenty of room as you see. I'll see it a little bit. Hi everybody. Okay, be back, be back. Okay, said Patroklos. Tell Bob cat now wrong good. Oh, there he is, the mayor of Coney.

Island good to see you. Oh, okay. Smells like Amsterdam. All right. Oh, what a fun greeting. So, all my friends in the span of three seconds. Good to see you, Gail. Welcome. Making our way out onto the beach. Taking our way out onto the beach. Another Coney Island Sunday Funday. The air temperature right now here in New York is 38 degrees, with a wind chill that makes it feel like it's in the 20s. So, let me apologize. Sorry for the wind noise. The wind muff is on the phone, but I don't know how strong it's gonna be. Yesterday, had a great live stream over the Brooklyn Bridge. I might be doing more of those. Going up on the Brooklyn Bridge in the middle of the fog. Couldn't see anything. Couldn't even see half of the bridge. Half at a time. Now, today's one of those weird days where the water temperature is actually warmer than the air temperature. The water temperature today is 44 degrees Fahrenheit, so about five degrees warmer than the actual air temperature. But I think today, the real, the real

challenge to the day is gonna be the wind. Now once we get out onto this boardwalk here, I'm gonna be in the wind, that is for sure. Okay, oh what a beautiful day, beautiful people getting ready for the swim. Good to see you guys, good morning 40. It's 38 degrees with a real feel of twenty-something where the water temperature is actually warmer than the air temperature, 44 degrees in the water. Yay, it's summertime you guys, get in the water, it's warmer in the water. Alright, yeah, what time is it there? Five - five minutes - sorry again, start the wind noise because it's very, very windy out here. Let's see if this gimbal is able to hold up in the wind. Gimbal [ __ ] up in the wind fine, but venue enabled one value everybody. I don't able bring new premium content from the South of France. I'm walking with the wind right now. Did I enjoy my New Year's? Check out my replace to find out if I enjoyed my New Year's. We had an amazing New Year's.

Eve stream, which was quickly blocking around the world because of the copyright music. So, you guys, I put up the fireworks so you can watch the fireworks. But if you want to see Sage Sovereign and Phoebe I. Walker perform their stunts, we're gonna have to wait on that because they had some copyright music in the background that was like an epic, like three-hour livestream. Then, of course, we were here on New Year's Day, pulled the Bear Plunge. That is then, it's when anyone could, anybody could come out for a suggested donation, come out and swim with the club. But today, it's a real club swim. It's about 20 degrees colder than it was on New Year's Day, so this is for the real bears. I made sure to eat some lunch, so now I'm ready, just a bird energy. Now we're definitely these bears, never leave on time, definitely on island time today, lovely Dan Coney. So, later on this week, we're gonna go out to Sand Island, we're gonna go out and

see a winter lantern festival to the Bronx, and we are going to see. Okay, this is why I'm wearing my tight hats. Lake, no, no, sorry about the wind noise, guys. The winds are gusting up to 22 miles an hour. Sustained winds are around 11 to 15 miles an hour. When they moved away from New York, just haven't been to Coney in a while. I know a lot of you guys like seeing this. The reason why I like doing my live streams, especially here in Coney Island, is that's not a lot of people do weekly, pretty much weekly streams here. But it is windy, but the gimbal seems to be agreeing with its fine X. Seems that though move the weights, all the weight on the gimbal seem to make it operate a little bit better. Balanced by the couch rather large was here, super wide lens at 0.45 X. For you photography nerds out there, this is the same for the fireworks. Fireworks at midnight, we did have fireworks at midnight, the countdown.

worked correct perfectly correct after since I have a home in here. Make sure my bag is secure here and I got. I want to thank Nick McDonald's for putting pink in my head. I got the here pink right now. You keep on hearing that song. She, I try, try, try, spend a lot of time with your aunt. Look, the trunk village awesome and there he is, crazy Coney Island kid going for a swim today. Oh no, I might have forgot my, might have forgot my electrical tape at McDonald's, but it's okay, but it's only electril table, you know, we get more. I think I did forget my lunch. My team is fine. It is crazy Coney Island kit is a tub in training today. He is planning to go for a swim and also max from made in Brooklyn company stay in the longest. We'll find out. Oops, there she is. Good to see it. Nips watching from the safety and comfort of her home. You're gonna watch this, some of these, these coves and

training Internet's Vidya is a real polar bear. She has. We have seen her on the livestream come out here in blizzards, and that is. That will be a live show that we do, and the Bears will be swimming. We're gonna be out here in that great to see a Brian de Davis welcome any moment now. The whole. The Bears will begin making their way out onto the beach. It is 1 o'clock. We are on Island Thomas. Let's just enjoy this windswept beach here where people are taking Instagram put all the birds. Sorry, sorry about the wind noise. The wind noise is really loud. It isn't quite windy out here, so I don't know how. How is gonna be in these conditions, but it's another beautiful day in County, even though it's windy. Brandon Tyler, good to see you just hanging out here getting ready for the Polar Bears to take to the beach there. Sunday Funday, and hopefully, we'll be back on later on. We'll watch the sunset from. I'm gonna get a

halfway-decent sunset today, so I think I'll be perfectly fine to go out on to the pier, Steeplechase Pier, and do a sunset from there. We haven't done a sunset in a while, so it'll be the first sunset of the year. The bears don't have their flags out in flags out. I'd say as long as that sun stays out, it's actually quite nice. And of course, when the wind dies down for a minute or two, it's quite nice. But we'll get going here. Oh, how you doing playing with the birds, I see. Hey, it is pretty right. This is why we come out here all year round about here to stare at the ocean, hear the waves and wind. Boy, the birds don't seem to mind the wind, that's for sure. Yeah, thank you. Getting ready to come out, go away onto the beach here in all seasons. It's always a pretty view out here in Coney, be out here hopefully for the first blizzard swim later on this winter.

season last year was kind of a dud when it came to snow, so I'm really hoping to get some proper snow broadcasts in. It's very windy out here, Robert. Sorry about the wind noise. It is very windy out here today. I have the wind muff on, but I do not know how effective it is in these kind of conditions. I don't think very effective at all. Maybe I know for some people the wind noise is quite distracting. I can't control it, folks. I can't control it. I do my best to mitigate it, but I can't completely kill it. Screaming man, I can't control the weather. It's okay. Thank you so much. Somebody's out on the boardwalk screaming something. Red swimming flags are at full force. Get it onto the... Let's get right up to the water's edge here. [Music] [Music] [Music] The quiet windswept [__] right now. [Music] Pretty nice view. So, tide is just too high, tide which is around 3 o'clock this afternoon. But as

you see the water is flat because the wind is coming from behind me here, so damping down the wind, the wave action incredibly flat. Some of the bears really like waves, so I'm thinking to get that today, but they will get wind sounds better. Okay, yes, it's windy out here. If the wind noise is too distracting, you could always tune away. There is a wind muff on the phone, but I only get it works very well in these kind of. If the wind is too distracting, there's plenty of live streams where people just talking to the camera inside their homes. You could watch that so windy it is by the sand here on the beach, windswept, and these are the maximum conditions that the gimbal could take right now exactly. Mother nature is not easy when you broadcast outdoors, but you know, I think some of the people who always need to gripe about the wind noise and stuff like that, these people never broadcast it anyway, so they don't understand the time and the effort it does go into making.

these broadcasts, yes, I understand. I don't think people do. I don't think. I don't think people do. I gonna. I think, listen folks, there is a lovely person on Periscope who broadcasts her door, and she never has a wind noise, so go watch her. She's a lot. She's a lot more fun to watch than this boring this outside here. She's a lot more fun than I am door, so you go watch a door. That's right. Do you like this Whitney nonsense blank but ready to say a winky? It is very windswept out here. Good to see you later - see you, Linda Winky. I hope you're feeling better. I'll be doing better bow to a very windy, very windswept here. I got my tight hat on today because I got my hat today. No, won't fly off waiting for these polar bears. You're gonna see their pad is very windy. It's a little chilly out here. The air temperature right now is 38 degrees with a wind chill that puts us

into the mid-20s warmer. The warmth, the water temperature today is 44 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's actually warmer in the water than it is outside. But I think the real challenge for the polar bears today is, as you hear and see it, this wind. This wind's gonna take a walk through Central Park, absolutely take a walk through Central Park as never a bit three Central Park. If you had TARDIS, you'll zip over right now. That sounds like a plan. Here come the Bears, miss slowly making their way out of plumb house onto the beach now. We have to perspective bears that we know of, two Cubs, respective health basically. If you want to be a member of the Coney Island Polar Bear Club, you gotta choose twelve swims in one winter season, twelve swims. They will vote you into the club, my. Basically, if you're cool, you'll be in the club. I will say hello to the missus for you. Got it, they're Cubs. I know their goalie comes in type of the polar bear.

that's right on this incredibly windy day. So again, sorry about the wind noise, guys. It's kind of hard for me to control the wind noise. I have a sitting in the southern shore, just a cool breeze. Nice trying to rescue a dock table and umbrella from the lake. You try that again, be careful with that. If you like this nonsense, I'm gonna hate the follow subscribe button and hit the like button. Let me know you like the stuff coming out, coming out. Got some fun too, so flowers out there today. Look if a crazy Coney Island kid. I catch up on the replay, and if you like New York City, could always follow on Instagram. That's appreciate it, my bartenders. I record my bartenders from the brewery around here. I see, okay, there's crazy Coney Island itself. This thing a little crazy clothing. I like it here. I've got a couple of words before he goes into the water. Please to have surgeries. Everyone give him good energy today. So I just told him, you going for surgery soon? Yes, you're

Going for surgery. How you feeling? Ready for this? The second jump in. You picked an awesome. This is when the real bears become beer. That's right. Yeah, nose, no blowing. It's gonna blow away. All right. Hey, what's higher? Who's moving up? Antonis in the house. She's fighting. We got a bunch of people in the house. Always a lot of people are talking. They're just watching. Hey, don't forget the thumbs up, okay? So crazy Cody. Aren't you definitely, definitely ready for this? All right. Yeah, crazy legs. Don't Cora surgery in a few days. So the easy space a bit hardcore. Get out. I'll make way for the bears to go in. You're really crazy. The name nice and chilly out here even for me. This is the fun part now. Good to see you there, Kim. Oh my god, kids in the house. Don't you wait, Kim. Are you actually here or are you just watching from? Oh wait, I think I'll get away. Oh, let me get him baby. Get tell him you said hi. Mahir here is way Kim sense.

a little crazy County. I like it. Kim says hello. [Laughter] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] into the drink take like I said very little waves. The water is almost flat. The wind's coming from directly behind me so Wes as they go in so remember the water temperature is warmer than the air temperature right now. Water temperature is 44 degrees Fahrenheit and the air temperature is 38 where the wind chill in the mid-60s so many people indeed do it and just like a lot of courage to be out here in the wind because like I said the wind is probably the put the hardest part of his swim today. That's right. Today's broadcast is brought to you by Schaefer beer for people who like having fun for people who like having more than one. Schaefer is the one beer to have when you having more than one. Good to see you there Joey. Hey guy come in with some time me and you will go swimming together Joey. Yeah the hard part the hard part is getting outs are you glad

you're home. Your boyfriend is the most sane. I believe there's actually more people in the water than are here watching. There's not too many people out here, but this is the real Polar Bear Club, the real Polar Bear Plunge. And last week was easy. Last Wednesday was easy for these people. Wednesday, it was 20 degrees warmer than it is right now. Yeah, well, we're gonna go swimming in August, nibble, and we're gonna swim on the beach over there called Fort Tilden. The wind is very wicked. The wind is steady at around 50 F, 13 to 15 miles an hour, gusting up to 25. But they're in there. [Applause] Yeah, you gotta jump in next week, Kim, even if it snows. Even if it snows, you gotta be in there. [Music] Even got that example once again where somebody just has to walk in front of the camera, even though I am right here at the water's edge. Good to see you, Miss Lovely. Some people

just have to walk in from the live show because they think I gotta get live stream famous. That's a big note for you. How long do they stay in the water? They try to time it out at around 20 minutes. Some of the people are already coming out already. Okay, you know you want to be a polar bear member and you want to buy the cool jacket and merch that is only available for club members. So you want the jacket. I want a Polar Bear Club jacket, but I could never get one unless I gotta get into the water 12 times in one winter season. Yeah, you'll be fine. Yeah, Kim, you'll be fine. The water temperature is still warmer than the air temperature. All right, Wicky thousand subscribers last night. Congratulations [Applause]. There are a couple of members by the timer on every Sunday at 1 o'clock. You could join the club to Gemma's Flo's walking at this - these - yes is their Flamingo club, but no, there's the

Flamingo club music. Hey Tracy, they're the jackets are cool. Me and you can just tell us I'll be back directly to the wind. You can just tell how much the witness affected. I'll be the water's affected by the wind. I will warm up Josh for you by him plenty of ice-cold beer. The Freak bar, but it is absolutely beautiful out here. Hear that crowd all the way back home. It's an island. It's a cool jacket with an awesome Ollivier. When you see those jackets, you want one. Believe oh yeah, wait quite windy out here. The winds are at around 10 to 15 miles an hour, gusting up to 25, so it is quite windy. Sorry about the wind noise folks. Oh oh, they're dunking, they're dunking your mother. Welcome Linda. Did I fry everyone? Did a junk? Yes, the toughest part is the winds when they come out of the water because it's hard for this. It's hard for it stay a little bit more, but this is a real Polar Bear.

Swim every Sunday one o'clock. We are out here to watch the Polar Bear Swim. Oh, absolutely. Can you get here all the way out there and set and new Joisey? [Music] What wasn't just a windy actually be really nice out here and the water. The water quality is very good right now. It's very clear. Ah, couple of hundred members. Couple of hundred members are in the club and remember that after you do your 12 swims, you get voted into the ends of the club this week. Mu, come on next week. Where you going anywhere? 7 to begin to come out eventually. I'll live stream from inside of there. So you just gotta go with participating member and then you just go in there for as long as you can go in there and then Josh is crazy. Oh, Nyan Cat has not come out of the water yet. The water is flat so that kind of mitigates some of the cold. If you fail once, they come out. They're gonna run to the warmth of their of

their towels and blankets. You're sitting on your bathroom floor watching this, probably nice and warm in your bathroom, right? Oh, there you go. They're dunking again. They are dunking again. They're not doing too many dunks because, once again, when they come out here, that wind really stings. Hey, guys, the gimbal got the heater on. Stay awake. Put the heater in. Wind wants to take the phone better without the drums for an hour. I love the green signal from a focus. Who'll play? And last week, that was great. It's all the swimmers in the mood. Hey, guys, you gotta adjust to the water. I can see something. Some like it. Some of the bears, they're actually swimming, getting really in there. I'll see you later there, Kim. Hopefully, I see you next week. Stay warm out there in New Jersey. Yeah, this widow doing another circle. Thanks for sharing on Twitter. Oh, wow, polar bear. Polar bear Mike hissing. He's done. Follow Mike. Polar bear Mike saying he's done. I have never heard full of air.

Mike said he's done before ever. I have never heard him say he's done. I have never heard him say senseless. Let's get a reaction here from Polar Bear Mine. Hey, are you done? Oh yeah. I have never heard later right Oliv adjourn come down. Everyone slowly making their way out, and I'm telling you, Josh is still a little [__]. Josh is still in the water. He's going for a record. Oh, then you just come up with the croup here. Hey, just staying there until Dino's opens. Yeah, oh yeah, Josh, she's still in there. Josh, she's still in there with, oh yeah, oh yeah, crazy Coney uncle was in there for a long time. He was in there for a while, right, you dumb truck Anton. It's like take the shirt off. [Laughter] 10 to 15 miles an hour gusting up to 25 miles an hour, so the windchill puts us in the mid-20s there. They got warming blankets again. They got all their stuff right here. Look

at all this stuff right here. Basically, they're gonna trial, and then they're gonna... but there's still me some of the hardcore beautiful. If it wasn't a million, it wasn't windy to be actually perfect out here right now. Got a hit better freaking hit the Freak part for coffee. Yes, did he get a free hot meal like soup? No, they do not. No, they do not. There's a beautiful Chris stay out here, and it'll get any snacks. They don't get any snacks. How long has this broadcast been? 45 minutes. Thank you, love you too. No hypothermia. Nobody ever gets hypothermia. Only the people, only the people, right? How do you feel the wind right now? It was 44 degrees in the water and out here with the wind. The real feel is in the mid-twenties. Actual air temperature is around 38, but hey, this view right the Sun now. Without what happened to max, what happened to max? He was supposed to represent made in Brooklyn company. What the hell with the new misfit city coming out good.

news Instagram so, so, so now, so far who I had asked us this morning, who's gonna be more hardcore, crazy Coney Island kit is the hardcore one can take. You heard that of the count off every five minutes. All right, go get warm, kick ass. The dawn is eat. If I don't see you, let me know. Yeah, yeah, all right. Well, we did it. Let's, uh, as everyone warms up here on the wall, actually don't wait. I got to get polar bear Mike's reaction right now. Does that have never heard him say I'm done. I have never heard him say I'm done. We'd have a conversation here. Let me win season with the conversation here. It's like marathon Sunday. Everyone has that look where they just ran a bunch of miles and it's we're near the finish line right now. And a lot of these people here who swam today, they've made Wednesday's New Year's Day swim happen. But here we are. It feels so much nicer out of the wind. It's actually kind of

warm that's out of the wind. I was gonna ride my bike down here too, but uh, when I found out how heavy the winds were gonna be, they would have pushed me down here no problem, but going home would have been another story. Again, thanks reaction. I gotta get Mike's reaction. Well, another Polar Bear Swim in the books as everyone slowly but surely comes out [Laughter] full of air dan swarmer in the water, right? Good answer, not that bad, not that bad, never that bad. We need a good snowstorm if you think. Let's see when Jim says it, what am I gonna do it then? I'm like, I have to come out here now and do it. That was fun. I know Josh did 15 minutes [Music] crazy. Coney Island is in 15 minutes. All right, let's uh, since everyone's coming out of the water, we're wrapping it up here. So let's walk, let's walk back to the Freak bar here. Yeah, I'll get Mike's reaction some other time, I think.

an hour-long broadcast is good enough, all right, especially in this wind. Here it is, it's beautiful out here today. That's right, everyone followed Danielle BK NYC. She painted this right here. Can you imagine? She painted this thing. That's crazy. And a bunch of other murals down here in Coney Island. Oh, somebody just gave your Instagram a shout-out. Know Danielle's? Yes. Is it actually warmer right here on the door? Whoa, polar bear secrets, folks. Take notes. Oh, this is such a moment right here because, yeah, whoa, this secret to one Lego bayonet. That's right. Get out of here. Go get warm. Go get out of your cabbage. She is so talented, and she swims. Yay! That was a cool moment. That was such a cool moment of her getting warmed up on her own mural right there. All right, good to see it was out there in doing D. That's a girly answer, the Freak part. Now it's time for me to Day drink. So, um, I want to come back on at around 4:30. We haven't

done a sunset in a hot minute on this channel, so I think later on today we're gonna do a sunset from the pier here in Coney Island. So listen, unless I'm too lazy and in conversations with people, I'll be back on at 4:30 Eastern Time. Yeah, we haven't done a sunset in a while. Let's walk back hose will end inside the free bar, so I think sunsets a little after 5 o'clock. I want to say five oh five sunset is that today. All right, so 4:30 the broadcast will begin, but of course we gotta watch the Sun actually set. Will have conversation, well hopefully these clouds will make an intense sunset when test what I'm hoping for. Thank you so much Joey for 43. So yeah, I'll be on bye bye 4:30 everyone follows and/or love crap. We got to be we got just doing some more Grand Theft Auto broadcast. I just never have the time. Look at this little guy, hello, and now sleeping little gnome there.

Back to the warmth of the Freak bar where I'm gonna drink cold beers now. Coney Island is a ghost town right now. I said this is the magic of the off-season. This is why you come out here if you want to have peace and quiet and moments of contemplation. This is the time of year when you come out here. So now we can remember just remember this street here. So when we're out here in June, July, August, and September, especially on Mermaid Parade Saturday, which is the 6th. I'm sorry, it's June 20th, 2020. So 6, 20, 20, 20.

ConeyIsland Sunday Funday!

The speaker is at Coney Island, experiencing a beautiful day despite heavy winds.

The water temperature is warmer than the air, creating a unique weather dynamic.

The speaker plans to swim, visit the Freak bar, and is excited to see friends along the way.

Coney Island's Polar Bear Swim and Winter Events

The livestream was disrupted by copyright music, leading to a focus on the fireworks instead.

The Polar Bear Swim, held on a colder day, attracted participants for a suggested donation.

The host plans to continue weekly streams from Coney Island and has upcoming events, including a winter lantern festival in the Bronx.

The narrator is excited to catch the first sunset of the year at Steeplechase Pier, enjoying the ocean view and the company of birds.

Despite the windy conditions, they are hopeful for a proper snow broadcast later in the winter.

The narrator acknowledges the distracting wind noise during the broadcast and encourages viewers to tune into other live streams if needed.

The water temperature is 44 degrees Fahrenheit, making it warmer than the outside air.

The polar bears are facing a challenging windy day as they make their way to the beach.

The Coney Island Polar Bear Club requires members to complete twelve swims in one winter season to be voted in.

Participants aim to stay in the water for around 20 minutes, with some already coming out.

The club offers exclusive jackets and merchandise for members who complete 12 swims in a winter season.

The swimmers are braving the cold, with the windchill making it feel like the mid-20s.

Polar Bear Mike, a regular, surprised everyone by saying he's done for the day.
