Wow this episode was incredibly insightful for non New Yorkers to get a glimpse of New York life.

First of all why the everloving bujeezus is anyone physically carrying around an AC unit? Today I learned that you people have to buy your own. This is insane to me, akin to buying a bathtub or a sink and bringing it house to house. I’ve lived in 3 states and only in Cali are old houses commonly missing AC but that’s because you don’t really need it (in San Diego.) Hearing you all talk about bleeding from your hands hucking an actual appliance up and down stairs sounds so crazy.

On top of that, hearing you say that you actually fear you might kill someone by DROPPING AN AC UNIT ON THEIR HEAD FROM ABOVE made me almost spit out my coffee. Was it Andrea that said “they had it professionally installed. WHO DOES THAT?” Hahahha hahahha oh Jesus Christ. So I also learned today that New Yorkers are all hanging massively heavy (and according to Connor, “rain-filled” AC units from their windows being barely held in by (I’m assuming- the window itself?) and not having them professionally installed.

I used to be scared of New York and realized my fears are just sensationalized garbage from TV. But after Chemda getting robbed after being hit by a car, . Keith’s mugging, Chemda getting arrested for jumping a fn Turnstyle then having the cops lie and hold her, the myriad of crazies you guys have mentioned over the years and now AC UNITS PRECARIOUSLY PERCHED ON WINDOWSILLS.... I can’t.

Oh also, what does Andrea mean when she said she forgot to “send in her laundry?” Is this some other big city fancy thing?
