[Music] Hello everybody, it is August 5th, 2020. I'm at the South Ferry subway station. [Music] The same subway station that I got off yesterday to ride the Staten Island ferry. The time is now six o'clock p.m. It is 86 Fahrenheit, 30 Celsius. I'm on my way to the financial district, doing a little bit of a walk, and let's see if I could find my glasses that flew off my face from yesterday during tropical storm Isaias. I think that's how you officially say Isaias or Isaias. I don't know. [Music] Let's give it a try in America. Three, yes, I have plenty of spares, but I'm just looking for my glasses for fun. If I don't find it, it's not a big deal. See, I got new glasses. All right, let's look. My guess is it's not going to be anywhere near where it blew off yesterday. It's probably in the river now, but this is going to be fun.

oh wait, this is a Nintendo boy 1129 with a dollar. So I was over here when my glasses got lost around this corner here. Hntov with two bucks, thank you. Yeah, let's see if I can find my umbrella too. Let's see if I can find my umbrella. That will be epic. And also my glasses. It'll be so cool if I do. But there was no way I was going to be able to find them yesterday during the tropical storm when it was blowing wind and I didn't even have my vision. I was even lucky I was able to find my microphone because that was a little bit larger and more unique. But glasses, forget. They're so tiny. Once they fly off your face and you don't have another pair to see, you're not finding them. Thank you, DW, for two dollars Canadian. Checking from Toronto. Hope you find them. Um, we'll see. We'll see. I'm not having any kind of luck if I'm gonna find them. But then again, I think we may have some luck over here.

[Music] I'm not going to take too long looking for them. Maybe most I'll take a half an hour, maybe 45 minutes looking for them. First, I do have a new pair. I have a few pairs, but I'm doing this just for fun to see if I can look for them. Let's see. It could be down there. If my guess, if I'm gonna find my glasses, they're probably along a curb or something or along a building. Chris saying, Can I see without them? Yeah, I could see without them, but I just can't see everything clearly. All right, let's look by the building. The size of the building, I don't see any glasses here. [Music] You know what? I'll look for my umbrella first because I know exactly where I left my umbrella from yesterday, but it was over here where I lost my glasses yesterday. The wind was so strong. It was in this area. I found my external microphone right here and my glasses. I don't know where they went, but probably like 60, 70-mile-an-hour winds.

probably push those glasses somewhere. I don't know. [Music] Maybe it's in the tree bed here. Any glasses in here? Yeah, the wind direction. They blew over here, this way. So I just see forks and spoons in there. But let's go find my umbrella, the broken one. All right, let's look around here. Any glasses here? Nope, nothing to be found. But I know where my umbrella is because I threw it away next to the trash bag. It was over here where I threw away my umbrella. I think the garbage crew already picked it up, or maybe it's already in a bag. Is that my? No, that's not my umbrella. I know what the color of my umbrella looks like. Yeah, probably that umbrella even flew away. Let's see if my umbrella is over here or my glasses. [Music] Oh, and I also lost two batteries, two AAA batteries. But AAA batteries, no one's gonna look for those, you know. All right, I don't think it's here. Robert's saying the umbrella flew away to Staten Island, maybe.

look, there's even like tree branches here, and there's not a tree in sight here. There's no trees on this block at all. The trees, they probably came from over there. Macp with two bucks. How am I doing today? I'm doing great. Are joking and saying those glasses are probably on eBay already. Here's the block where I tried to walk up, and I got blown back by the wind. I was like over here, and then the wind was just like blowing at me like crazy. I couldn't walk strong enough to counter it. I was like, and then I was like, whoa, that's a go over here. That's how strong the wind was. I never experienced that before. I went, the wind pushed me from there to here, and I had to hide behind the building because the wind was coming this way. Well, let's see if I could find my glasses on the other side of the street. Well, you know what? I didn't even look thoroughly over here because if the wind was blowing this way, and I

lost my glasses over here. Then it's probably on that side of the building because the wind's all pushing over there. Maybe I'll give it a block like up that way. Christian, how do I lose my glasses by walking in a tropical storm with winds above like 50 miles an hour? Psycho 663 with five pounds. Can't believe the contrast between the weather now and then. Yes, it's quite unbelievable. I just see a bunch of water here and leaves. Nope. Maybe it's in the storm drain here, the catch basin. Hey, there's a spoon down there. Glasses, glasses, glasses. Those are not my glasses. It's a different kind of glass. My guess is if my glasses blew to this building here, the building would have them, but could be worth asking the building, but I doubt it. I'm not gonna like go crazy looking for them. No glasses are nowhere to be found. Tropical storm east east ate my glasses for breakfast or for lunch rather. Are my glasses here? If I find my glasses, this is going to be

like a miracle, but my umbrella's dead. The trash department probably took it already, so my guess is if the wind was blowing this way. I'm gonna have to look a lot more down there. Ronald came. Thank you for five bucks. Appreciate it very much. So, I'm gonna look in there, the Staten Island ferry area, and also up there by Battery Park. [Music] Maybe it's in here. Nope, I just see water. Also, all this wind reminding me I should put on my microphone. This whole time I've been streaming without my microphone. I keep forgetting to clip it on. [Music] So, Nicholas. All right, much better now. Hopefully, it's the same microphone I used from yesterday. People were saying that it sounded muffled, but that was because my mask was all wet on the ferry, so you heard all the muffled sound. Thank you, Peter Sugar, for 20 bucks. You're awesome, dude. Thanks. Thank you so much. All right, so let's look over there. Maybe my glasses are over here. The wind blew it.

over here maybe this is what's left in my glasses. I see broken glass over there, but I'm not going to look too hard for it. I'm just going to walk around this area. If I happen to see it, I'll find them. But let's see anything here. I won't be surprised if I see a New York City pigeon wearing my glasses and then it flies away. Nick 4077 saying yesterday was intense. Oh yes, it was. If it's strong enough to take the glasses off my face, then you know it's intense all right. No sign of glasses over here. Maybe it's in the bike lane here. Charlie asking if I lost power. No, I didn't lose power, thank goodness. But I know some people who did. Hopefully, my connection stays good when I go into Battery Park. Last time I had some trouble live streaming in Battery Park, but my glasses are history. There's no way I'm going to be able to find my glasses. NYC walking show the storm is intense and you lost power. Oh my gosh, yes.

I actually saw your video too. That was a pretty intense video you did walking through midtown. And also Walk Live Fly did another video during Isaiah's for East East in America three with 24.99 yesterday. You pushed the envelope first buying the ferry and then walking through a dangerous wind. Be safe actually kid give him a like fans. Thank you so much for that. He's so generous of you. Here's a victim of the tropical storm. I didn't find my glasses but I had a split tree. Thank goodness I didn't walk under this tree yesterday. By the way this is what lower Manhattan used to look like back when it was a Dutch colony. You can see like little houses and farms in here. See here this says Spruce Street. This is Prince Street and you see all the canals. There's a canal over there New Amsterdam. Here's another branch back. There's a victim of the storm right there NYC walking show with a dollar ninety-nine. Keep up your good work. You gotta keep up your work too. That was

an intense storm we both walked through yesterday. Okay, okay, okay. Is my glasses over here, or I should say, are my glasses over here? I'm going into Battery Park now, where I was filming yesterday. I'm calling shotgun van life. 10 bucks, you agree? The ferry ride was awesome. Stay safe and kudos. That was incredible. I got very lucky on the ferry because there was a chance that I got stranded on Staten Island. Well, here's Battery Park. I see like there's some leaves over there. Look whoa, look at that tree over there. That's not a tree anymore. That's a strong tree too, and they just got split. I remember walking here yesterday, and there was a tree that fell across the pathway here, and I had to walk through it and over it. It's actually this one over here. So this one got cut up because it was blocking the pathway. Let's go over here. Hopefully, my connection stays on. By the way, Battery Park is known to have issues live streaming on Verizon. Whoa, and there's the tree from the other side.

mid-terry 700. I lost my glasses over there, but forget it. Trying to find my glasses is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. That's the idiom we use when we can't find something, and it's very small. Hey, where are my glasses? It's over here. [Music] Oh, you're looking for my glasses too. Wow, good luck. Yeah, it'll be a nice souvenir to keep, you know. I know they're going to be broken if I find them. He's looking for my glasses too. Are my glasses in here? Nope. Well, I'm very, very far away from where I was. I doubt the wind blew it this far, because even if it did blow it this far, it has to go through all those obstacles and go around this and that, so who knows where it went. Yeah, square. I'm gonna stop looking now. I'm not even trying to look for it now. It was fun to go around and just look casually, but hey, I gave it a shot. I'm not finding

them [Music] but if anyone does find my glasses in the future, consider that a souvenir. You can put them up on eBay. Robert Parker saying the guy already found them, but he's going to demand a ransom of a thousand bucks. How do I see? I have an extra pair of glasses. You should always have an extra pair of glasses. Don't rely on one set of glasses. That's just dumb. You know how many times that like a screw came loose in my glasses or like one of the lenses fell out or the frame breaks. You got to have another pair. I found a wooden egg. That's kind of unique. Look how calm the water is from yesterday. It's like the complete opposite of yesterday. Hey, look, it's the Staten Island Ferry. Taking the Staten Island Ferry on this day would be a much better choice than during yesterday's tropical storm. There was a point I thought I wasn't going to get off that boat. It was raining through the window, the doors were opening and closing by

themselves. The waves were rough. They were shutting down the ferry early. So much drama yesterday. And then even docking into Staten Island, the ferry was like docking to the left, and I was like, uh-oh, we're not going to make it. But thankfully, the boat captain or whoever was commandeering the boat has a lot of experience. Oh my goodness, I just saw this. Look, look, look. I walked through here yesterday. Oh my gosh, I'm glad I did not walk through here when this tree broke. If anyone saw my video from yesterday, I walked through here. Oh my gosh, this could have been me under the tree. I'm glad I didn't come here when the tree fell. Oh my gosh, wow, what a difference. Let me show you the moment on my other channel where I walk through here. Okay, I found it. So this tree was still standing yesterday. Here it is. That's the tree, same tree. I don't know when this tree went down, but I'm glad I was not under it. Let's go up the Hudson River.

Just to change up this walk, I don't want this walk to be entirely about the financial district and me talking about the hurricane. I mean the tropical storm yesterday. Although we are going to find some casualties like this tree. Maybe I'll take a souvenir. I love you, tree. [Music] Tree, thank you so much for spamming my life yesterday. Because if you would have fell down earlier when I was walking down there, when I was walking underneath you, I would have not have survived. But you saved my life for falling at the time you did. So thank you, tree. I'm gonna treasure this leaf of yours forever. Vex tron saying thank the wind. I thank the tree and the um and the wind. Thank you, tree, for sparing my life or my injuries. I feel like this tree is a part of me now. I still can't find your yeah that almost ended my life for my injuries. All right, ma is saying I will treasure this leaf now. That's a good pun. Here's the statue of liberty.

I'm sure the Statue of Liberty has a lot to say about yesterday's storm. Lady Liberty did not take a break from yesterday. She was out there the entire day and night and during the 50-60 mile-an-hour winds. Plus, someone wants me to check the bin for my glasses. I'm finished looking for my glasses. I said the most I was gonna take was like half an hour, 40 minutes, but it was more like 15, 20 minutes. That's all I'm gonna spend. [Music] Toilet bush saying, Look for my umbrella. Well, the umbrella I put in next to the garbage bag so that I have even less faith looking for it because it's broken. The trash collection probably already took it. So Lady Liberty's wearing my glasses. Well, maybe she is because right now the only view I have of Lady Liberty is from the side. How can I see Labor Liberties wearing my glasses if I don't see her from the front? Where was it? It was in Long Island. Maybe we'll see some more tree.

casualties walking up the Hudson River. Here's Castle Clinton, where you can buy tickets to Liberty Island. The Statue of Liberty itself is not open, but you can go to the island. And by the way, Statue Cruises is still not giving out refunds to everybody. There's still people waiting for refunds from March and April. Square Bed saying, Where is this? This is Battery Park. Let's see if we can find any more signs of downed trees or branches. Anything seems like over here is calm. There's a pile of branches over there. This might have been a few trees. Looks like a pile of mulch. Maybe they mulched all these tree branches. I don't know. Denise, you see saying parks department clean up most of the walkways. Yeah, they're already on the job. When I was recording in Astoria Park this afternoon, of course, there's caution tape there. So we got to walk up right up to it. Let's go. Let's see what's going on here. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Something happened here.

poor tree. It didn't stand a chance. [Music] Gotta go around. That's the only way. What's up? Some bugs have been busy eating up these vegetable leaves. Probably beetles or something. Caterpillars. Um, sure. Many bugs perished yesterday in the storm too, and many birds too. I didn't see a single bird flying around yesterday in the storm. I wonder where they all flew to. And Shannon's asking me how I like the DJI Osmo Pocket. I like it very much. It was the first time I used it out in public and took me a little bit, a while to adjust, but considering it was during a tropical storm and I was able to handle that equipment already, I'd say it was good enough. All right, let's go through Battery Park City now. What? This area of Battery Park City didn't have a single tree that fell down. Look, all the trees are intact. How come these trees survived? Maybe it's because of the direction of the wind. You know, I've been noticing a lot of

things too with the trees. It seemed like the taller trees and the sturdier ones, those are the ones that fell or had damage to them, and the younger trees, they survived. Maybe it's because the larger trees, they're so stiff already and rooted into the ground, they weren't flexible enough to handle all those winds. So, as a result, they try to resist the wind so much. They're probably like this, like, Oh, I'm a tree, I'm stiff, I'm big and strong, I can handle it. And then there's only so much you can do staying stiff, and then all of a sudden, you just snap. But the younger trees, when you see the younger trees, they just blow like this, and they're very flimsy. Those, they move with the wind, so they survive. [Music] So here's the area of Battery Park City that I really like, the waterfront lawn. There's some tall trees over here too, but they didn't fall like me for you saying palm trees are the most assistant. That makes a lot of sense because

they're used to that kind of weather. If you ever go to like the Caribbean where there's a lot of palm trees or Hawaii, you'll see a little handle inclement weather with no problem. In fact, the way palm trees reproduce, this is why they have coconuts, because when there's big winds, the winds will knock the coconuts off the trees. The coconuts will float on the ocean, and the ocean will carry the coconuts to another island or another place, and they'll grow another tree from the coconut. All right, waterfront. Now how come it seems like Battery Park got a lot of damage, but Battery Park City, there's like barely any fallen trees or twigs or branches at all. Kind of strange. All these trees are intact, and then over here, look interesting. We'll get to see more vegetation as they walk up. Yeah, Anthony is probably the angle as well, because I gotta drop my leaf. I dropped my leaf. I'm keeping this leaf because it's good luck. But anyway, I think it was the angle of the winds.

because when I was down there by the financial district, the wind was only blowing from over here, like this way. And if you look, there's a lot of tall buildings over here, so they were blocking a lot of the wind. That's probably why all these trees here are still standing. [Music] And then Battery Park has all this open area, so the winds are exposed to the trees first. And then when I walked up Broad Street, there was barely any wind because all the buildings blocked it away. What a difference from yesterday. It's like so peaceful and calm now. Oh, here's a life-saving device. It's funny, when I was on the Staten Island ferry yesterday, someone was just commenting on the chat, like, Hey, grab the donut, you might need it. Grab the orange donut. But I'm glad it didn't have to come down to that. Thank you, PG, for joining the Panda membership. You're awesome. Now you can use exclusive emojis and get some status updates from me. All right, look at this, everyone.

there's like no damage here in Battery Park City at all. This tree standing, all these trees in the middle here standing. What I mean, I'm glad that they're standing, but yesterday's storm just seems so brutal. What, this is standing too. Herby Maldonado, thank you for joining the red panda membership and offer Jay Daphne with the panda membership subscription. These are standing. Wow, the votes see you read on the news that they cleaned it up already. Wow, that was quick. El Blair 2, thank you so much, dude. Thank you for the 20 bucks, man. Appreciate it very much. Instead of thumbs up, now I'm going to be thanking people with this tree leaf because it's lucky. Usually, I give a thumbs up, but tree leaves are more important now. Apologetic saying this is a maple leaf. I need to thank Canada. All right, I guess I ought to thank Canada too because that's the national leaf, right? All right, yeah, nothing happened over here. Very strange.

I guess I'm not surprised anymore that there was no damage here because I kind of explained why all these buildings blocked all the winds coming from the other side. Robert, man, thank you for the five bucks. Appreciate it very much. Thank you. Okay, I think that something happened over here. There's caution tape here, but looks like it got taken down. Maybe there was an obstruction here earlier, and it got cleared. I think we all got rickrolled, folks. This is YouTube, so I guess it's gonna happen. That wasn't me, though. That wasn't planned. Okay, in Shannon's kitchen. Sorry for this dumb question, but what is panda membership? Is it different than Patreon? It's not a dumb question, but basically, YouTube memberships are YouTube's way to make more money, basically. It's Google's or YouTube's mem version of Patreon, but it's on the YouTube platform. But one thing that the YouTube memberships can do that Patreon can is that they have the membership badges, the custom membership badges, and also the custom emojis.

so youtube and google, they have the advantage with that, but they also take more money from the creators. So patreon gets more money back to the creators. That's basically the difference between patreon and youtube membership. One from alabama outsiders, we love your channel, keep on walking. Thank you. And medaire 700, I'm like peter parker. You should become a news reporter. News reporter, huh? Maybe. Thank you for that. Um, wow, wow, okay. I think I'm gonna walk over here because here is a different direction where the wind blows. Maybe I'll see some more damage over here. Robert saying, according to sarah fung, is true that youtube takes 30 percent of the tips. Yes, youtube does. If you do a super chat, youtube takes 30 percent. And if you contribute using an apple device, apple gets 30 as well. The quality is going down a bit. Uh-oh, let's go back by the water. Let me know if the quality goes back up. You can try refreshing the page. Is the quality improving? All right, good. I'll stick by the water.

because as soon as I walked over there, the quality got worse. But anyway, there's people asking me how I lost my glasses. It's because I was outside with like 50-mile-an-hour winds plus, and they just blew off my face yesterday. That happened in the financial district. My glasses didn't stand a chance at all. Even my external microphone, which I was using, I had in my shirt pocket over here. It was in here, and the tropical storm blew it out of my shirt pocket as well. So just think about that, how intense the winds must have been. They blew my external microphone from my shirt pocket, and my shirt pocket is inside. Crazy, crazy. Frank Toco4 with 15. When I visited New York City in the summer of 1985, the Statue of Liberty was entirely covered in scaffolding from the bottom all the way up to the torch, being renovated for its 100th anniversary. Wow, pretty crazy. I kind of remember that too because they wanted to renovate it. Well, thank you for that super chat. I should do it this way, this way the

maple leaf is the proper direction. John Sparks saying, How could I get home if I couldn't see? I could still see, but just not well. My vision is not that horrible. Or if I lose my glasses, I'm like blind. Yep, I lost my glasses, B. Griffin. But I'm just grateful that's all that happened yesterday. And my umbrella broke because, because again, if this tree fell on me as I was walking under it, I probably would not be live streaming today. So this leaf is from that tree that did not fall when I was walking under it. So I'm glad. Walking by it today, I saw the tree fall and I was like, uh-oh. Everyone's um talking about the sound not matching my lips. Let me see if I could fix that somehow. All right, I'm gonna sit here and you let me know if my words are matching my lips. All right, New York can't get away with the underground camera. Let me find an area that's less sunny, but you can let me know if my words are

matching my lips. Are they matching them right now? Testing, testing, one, two, three. It's not. Oh, okay, it's buffering now. I plug my microphone back in. Maybe that was the reason why it's not matching my lips, but it's in matching now. Hello, testing, testing, one, two, three. Okay, it's matching. So my voice isn't like this now, like the bad English dubs. It's like those sleep movies where Bruce Lee's yelling. He's like, That's not my... That's not me. I need to leave this area. I have no choice but to go around here. Hopefully, it improves, you know. Hopefully, the service improves because I'm right by Brookfield Place right now. I'm still connected, but it still says I'm connected. It's strange. Can anyone hear me? Hello, anyone hear me? All right. Can anyone see me? All right, good. It's working now, but blurry. I'm glad it's what I thought because now I'm next to Brookfield Place. It's a lot of outdoor seating here. Let's go up here. I wonder if Brookfield Place itself is

open. Look at all these people here. Hey, Brookfield Place is open. Let's go in, guys. I'm curious how the shopping mall is now, but they have this outdoor area. I also think that there's better service inside the mall. Okay, says one way. Wow, they closed the steps here for Brookfield Place, and usually here they have people here sitting on the steps. It looks so surreal here in Brookfield. The stores aren't open. [Music] Me all right. Let's go to the World Trade Center Oculus building. Sanitize hands here. They give you a good amount of hand sanitizer. This escalator is so slow. Oh, this is the Oculus shopping mall. Foot-operated hand sanitizer. Wow, gel type too. It's very sticky. It smells fruity, also like the subway hand sanitizer. Whoa, usually this area is full of commuters going to and from work and also some shoppers. Once I get into the main area right now, it's kind of like surreal. Pat Ardell with five bucks. Dig deep, AK on long-range patrol. Good steadicam.

and Astoria bike recon. Thank you, thank you so much, man. I'm gonna thank you with this lucky leaf. This is crazy. No one's here. [Music] Here's the path train station. This is the train to exchange place, making stops at exchange place, grove street, journal square, Newark, no way. It's uh, Newark something, and then Newark. There's two Newark stops, I think. No, Harrison. Harrison, and then New York. [Music] [Music] So look at this. This side is down only, and I gotta go on this side. Foreign. Whoa, so few people here. There's a little bit of people, but this is very, very few compared to peak New York City rush hour and commuting times. All their shops are closed, cos Roberto Coin, even the Apple Store is closed over there. Let's go. What's this piece of machinery doing here? Get to know the Toupen Big Red. Wow, maintenance crew. So allow only one person per step. Do not pass by other customers or take strollers, schoolers, bikes, cars, or similar items on the escalator, please.

maintain physical distance whenever possible at the World Trade Center. Please leave four empty steps between you and the next person while riding that allow only one person perspective. Wow, I was just pausing there, not saying anything because I wanted to know what the escalator was saying, but you got to leave four empty escalator steps between the person in front of you. All right, I'm gonna take the subway now. [Music] All right, I just showed the wrong way to swipe a metro card the entire time. That was too fast. Yeah, I'm gonna be ending the stream here at the train cars. This isn't my train though. I need the other one. I need the W train. [Music] So [Music] what the next train's another R train. No, all right. [Music] All right, I'm gonna be waiting for the train now. Let's sit on that bench over there. Lamb Brian, dude, thank you so much for 20 bucks, man. You're awesome, dude. Thank you. Cat Gaga, the goddess saying, How big is your cucumber?

I don't have a cucumber on me, although that might be a good idea. Though I'll go to the grocery store and pick up some. It might be good for a salad. Train's not coming. All right, so today I did not find my glasses, but at least I found out a little bit more about the area I walked through, and especially this tree. I know I've been saying it this whole time, but if I was in the wrong time walking under that tree, this tree would have killed me or hurt me. Jay plays saying that a pair of glasses must have been a lot of money. I think it was about sixty dollars. Cat Gaga, the goddess, asking if I have a girlfriend that I'm not answering. PG, what's for dinner tonight? The leaf, of course, delicious. But seriously, for dinner, I got some leftovers from the other night. I got some rice, I got some chicken, sautéed chicken, some Chinese vegetables, and I even got some salad left over too. I hear a train coming. Is it going to be an

r46 or a r160. I think it's going to be a 46. Nope, it's a 160. [Music] I'm the only one on this train. Oh my gosh, thank you, Cat Gaga, with 1.99. All right, I have to train to myself. Look at this. But seriously, I'm gonna end the stream whenever this train cuts out of internet service, but I'm gonna make use of it before it does. This is a walking video of a subway car. Now, New York City subway walking video. If I do this back and forth, I'll probably be walking like five miles at least, but I'm going to lose signal, folks. Bye-bye, people. Thank you, three bucks. Thank you.
