We should make this video. I moved in
00:00
one day. Ultimate New York City move. I
00:02
won't do that, but [music] I could.
00:05
Oh, hello. So, today [music]
00:22
is Friday, September 19th. The movers
00:25
are coming. September 24th. So, I have 5
00:28
days to pack [music] up everything and I
00:31
have a very, very busy weekend and work
00:34
days ahead of me. So, it's not like I
00:36
have all the time in the world. Anyways,
00:38
I figured if inspiration strikes, you
00:40
should get a little bit done. So, let's
00:42
let's pack up a few things here. I'm
00:44
also in the middle of filming another
00:45
video, but I wanted to take a break and
00:47
do something a little different. [music]
00:48
All right, these are all mine. Oh, look
00:53
how cute. This is from one of my
00:55
friends, Dan. It's a teacup with a
00:56
turtle. And there is that cute.
00:58
What's up, turtle gang? We're making
01:09
progress. Everything has to get a little
01:11
crazy before it gets organized, but
01:13
we're filling up bag one by one down
01:16
here, too. A bunch of my books and my my
01:19
things. Anything else? What do you
01:22
No more insights. I'll cut it out if you
01:27
say something. Okay. All right. Without
01:29
further ado, check in soon. We'll be
01:32
further along. And yeah, [sighs]
01:35
Getting kind of tired. Are you?
01:42
No. Okay. All right.
01:46
>> Pause. We're making progress, guys. is
01:50
if you've been around and you were here
01:52
for my last move 2 years ago, I showed
01:53
you these huge [music]
01:55
bins that have just been so so helpful.
01:57
They fit so much stuff. But exciting
01:59
news, midpack, I just got a text from a
02:01
friend of mine who has extra tickets to
02:04
Chapel Road tonight [laughter] at Forest
02:06
Hills. I was there a couple days ago for
02:08
another concert. It [music] is just the
02:10
best venue in my opinion in New York
02:11
City. It's outdoor. It's not small, but
02:13
it's not huge and [music] it's just the
02:16
best energy. So, I am so excited. Point
02:18
being, I need to make some progress over
02:21
the next like 2 and 1/ half hours before
02:22
I have to leave. It's already looking so
02:24
empty. It's crazy without [music] the
02:26
couch there. All right, back to playing
02:28
chapel while I pack. Play
02:30
That's where I belong.
02:45
>> [music and singing]
02:50
>> end of the weekend and oh my god, Chapel
02:52
Run was so so good. It was just a really
02:56
nice weekend. As [music] I got into bed
02:58
tonight, I just realized I only have
03:00
three more nights in this bed. Going to
03:03
make the most of it. Get some good
03:06
sleep. I have a very long day [music] of
03:07
packing ahead of me. I have to edit a
03:09
video all day tomorrow and then I only
03:12
have one day left after that to pack up
03:13
the apartment. So somehow even
03:15
last time I moved, I was not
03:19
I had a corporate [music] job. And so it
03:23
kind of made sense then that things were
03:24
very very last minute cuz I was working
03:27
such long hours and like just [music]
03:29
actually did not have time to pack until
03:31
This time I probably could have started
03:35
a little sooner. Oh well, you live and
03:38
you learn. Okay, I'm actually going to
03:40
bed at a reasonable hour now because I
03:42
want to wake up early and get started.
03:45
Howdy. Okay, it is a day and a half
03:53
[music] before I move out of East
03:56
Village. As a little work break, I
03:59
thought I would come look at the doggos
04:01
probably for the [music] last time.
04:04
Second to last time, but I come here all
04:06
the time. I love the Tomian Square Park
04:09
Doc Park. There's a lot of good
04:12
I just pet that handsome boy for a few
04:21
minutes and he was perfect. Sometimes
04:23
when it's a tough working day and I'm
04:26
out walking and I see a cute dog, I'm
04:27
like, it would be good for me to pet
04:30
this dog if the owner is cool with it.
04:31
Release some oxytocin. Goodbye my
04:33
Goodbye LA laundry that I never use, but
04:37
it's really cool. It's It's half plant
04:40
store, half laundry. Goodbye blue
04:43
accented buildings. Also, I never really
04:45
said it officially for safety, but I
04:47
feel like it's pretty obvious based off
04:50
of everything that I always film in my
04:51
New York vlogs that I live in, the East
04:53
Village. And if you are moving to New
04:55
York for the first time, people ask me
04:58
this a lot, like what neighborhoods
05:00
should you consider? I am a huge fan of
05:01
the East Village and think it is just
05:03
like such a good intro to New York. It
05:05
is so much fun. Unlimited cuisine,
05:07
coffee shops, bunch of young folks,
05:11
great energy, dirty in areas, lots of
05:13
rats in areas, but that's New York,
05:16
baby. That's show biz.
05:18
Good morning. God, I wish I could be
05:20
more chipper for you guys on my last
05:22
morning here. Well, I guess I'll be here
05:25
tomorrow morning, but then the movers
05:27
come. But the reality is I do not fall
05:29
asleep until 4:20 a.m. Actually, 4:20.
05:31
I'm not making a joke. So, I was
05:35
troubleshooting getting my video
05:37
uploaded and then it's pretty funny. It
05:38
is very very predictable that if I'm on
05:40
my computer uploading something or
05:42
editing like late into the night, I will
05:44
not be able to fall asleep for like
05:46
hours after that. So, it was like that
05:48
on steroids. And now I have to pack up
05:50
my kind of whole life today in one day.
05:52
We should make this video. I moved
05:56
[music] in one day. Ultimate New York
05:58
I won't do that, but I could. I say this
06:02
as though it's literally not my fault
06:06
that I put it off until the last minute.
06:08
Anyway, let's get this day started.
06:10
Got a beautiful day to pack. Small
06:23
I'm not even feeling [music] that
06:27
delirious yet. I know it's going to hit
06:28
me in a few hours is my guess. I
06:30
actually have to work a bit before I
06:34
even start packing. But uh let's open
06:35
the rest of the windows first.
06:37
>> But you know what? I have an ungodly
06:42
amount to do. But I still think there's
06:44
always time to go outside. I'm stepping
06:46
over all of my things here.
06:48
>> There ain't nothing ain't nothing going
06:53
to ain't nothing going to bring us down
06:55
[music] the races run. Self realization
06:59
that I've already packed my espresso
07:02
machine. But good news is I have pretty
07:03
much a full leftover thermos from the
07:07
coffee shop I was at yesterday, which I
07:10
can pour over ice. Economical.
07:12
It's good coffee, too. I wouldn't do
07:18
this if this was mid coffee, but it's
07:19
good coffee. I also could go buy some,
07:22
but we don't have time for that.
07:24
>> And I packed my creatine and all my
07:26
supplements, too. I'm going to freak
07:28
out. I'm not going to be performing at
07:30
>> We're standing by.
07:33
>> Okay. Absolutely classic. I decided not
07:38
to film me hypers speed cleaning this
07:40
off. Coffee grounds. But I'm done with
07:44
the kitchen. Done. Done. Done. I did
07:49
most of it the other day with my friend
07:50
of the romantic persuasion who helped
07:54
me. But yeah, now I'm like really done.
07:56
I There's still room in that final box
07:58
over here. Can you see? And so I don't
08:00
want to waste room in a box. And so if
08:03
there's anything upstairs that could
08:05
come down here or whatever, I'm going to
08:07
wait to [music] tape it up.
08:09
Okay. So, I'm throwing away junk, right?
08:13
And I'm kind of like, is this going to
08:16
be worth something? I kind of want to
08:18
save it as a relic, but I'm also like, I
08:20
don't need it. I don't need it. I'm
08:22
really not good at parting ways with the
08:24
>> Okay guys, couple hours later since I
08:55
last took a clip and definitely making
08:57
progress. It doesn't feel like I am, but
09:00
I am. Problem is, I tell myself if I
09:03
just put everything in [music] this pile
09:06
right here that I'll just pick away at
09:08
it little by little and then I leave the
09:10
whole entire pile right there. So, let's
09:12
pick at it a little bit.
09:15
>> It's the Led Zeppelin physical graffiti
09:24
album. Kind of [music] neat. Okay, I'm
09:26
taking a break for dinner. Super super
09:28
hungry. I'm extremely irritable right
09:29
now. I'm not going to lie. The four
09:31
hours of sleep are catching up to me cuz
09:33
I've just kind of been going non-stop
09:34
for all day and all day yesterday. It's
09:36
been a stressful last few days. But I'm
09:38
happy I'm going to my favorite, [music]
09:40
like consistently favorite restaurant in
09:42
East Village that I go to all the time
09:44
and that I will still come back to even
09:46
when I don't live here anymore. It's
09:48
Vietnamese [music] Hanoi House in East
09:49
Village on St. Mark's. Highly recommend.
09:51
Check it for I did a great job filming
09:59
before my food [music] king.
10:02
>> It was really, really good. In my belly.
10:05
>> There it is again. Physical graffiti
10:08
album cover. Led Zeppelin. You know how
10:11
they got their name? Critics said about
10:13
the band early on that they're going to
10:15
they're going to drown like a Le
10:17
Zeppelin. That's how they got it. I
10:19
think that's kind of creative and fun.
10:21
What if I named my YouTube channel based
10:23
off a hate comment? Stupid and ugly LLC.
10:24
Dessert time. We're going to get ice
10:28
cream. It's Vanluins, which they're all
10:30
around the city, but that's what I want
10:31
right now. It's on Second Ab and Seventh
10:33
Street. And I'm going to get the brown
10:35
sugar cookie dough brownie. My usual
10:36
go-to. Is that what you're going to get
10:38
to? Yay. East Village, everybody.
10:39
[music] Wait, we came here so long ago.
10:51
We took a clip over there. Do you
10:53
>> uh at the very end of my what I spent in
10:56
a week as a 26-year-old. I think time
10:58
flies when you're having fun. And I also
11:00
filmed here with Shervin. There's so
11:03
many memories in every corner of East
11:04
Village for me for real. The
11:06
neighborhood ice cream spot. [music]
11:07
And we have to go back and finish
11:11
packing. We'll get done.
11:12
>> Okay. Bye. Cut. How my muscle look. No
11:16
>> Okay. This is diluted content. We need
11:22
to focus back to packing.
11:24
Doesn't [music] look clean, but I'm done
11:28
at a record time of 10:12
11:31
p.m. But it does feel like it's 4:00
11:35
a.m. just because I've been at this all
11:37
day. But we're done and I'll actually
11:39
get some sleep tonight. They come
11:41
anywhere from 9 to 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.
11:42
But wow, this is cray. class. Bye. I was
11:44
saying earlier at dinner that it's just
11:49
been such a busy couple days that I
11:51
haven't felt enough like levity to be
11:53
able to feel nostalgic yet, but it's
11:55
hitting me now that the room is empty. I
11:57
just have this weird light on because
12:00
took my sconces down. So, good night.
12:02
It's the day and [music] I just got the
12:10
call from Piece of cake that they will
12:12
be here in 15 minutes. And I just have a
12:13
few more things to do like tape some
12:16
final boxes together and put my sheets
12:18
into a bag. So I can do that right now
12:20
and then we'll be good.
12:22
>> Trying to get all my bedding in one
12:29
trash bag so I can just unpack it
12:32
>> But we shadow. [singing]
12:39
Tell me babe, what are we [music] going
12:46
Cuz you got me in the back
12:51
from the way the magic. [music]
12:58
Wow, it's really starting to feel empty.
13:12
There were so many boxes before it just
13:14
didn't feel that empty. All right, I
13:16
just spotted my [music] things.
13:18
There's my tool chest. Oh, yeah. Huh?
13:21
Do you know? [music] And do you know I
13:29
don't want you to go [music and singing]
13:32
possibly end up being you and me. Is it
13:35
just me or do you feel that this could
13:39
>> All done. There's the truck. [music] I
13:44
am taking an Uber to go meet them at the
13:47
new apartment. I was going to take the
13:49
subway, but they [music] would beat me
13:50
if I took the subway. So Uber it is.
13:51
Bringing the essentials with me. Well,
13:54
this is stuff just for my fridge. And
13:56
then this I have baby, my stuffed
13:57
animal. Then I have my passport in
14:00
[music] my backpack. And that's about
14:01
[music] To my second New York City
14:13
apartment in my new place. Little sneak
14:15
>> The place where I truly started to feel
14:21
my footing in the city. And I think
14:23
[music] that that speaks volumes to how
14:25
special this place is. It is not for
14:26
everyone. It's really not. But it is for
14:29
me. The place where I built new
14:31
friendships and deepened [music] ones
14:33
that mattered the most.
14:34
>> The place where I took [music] the
14:42
biggest risk of my life and never looked
14:43
back. I have left management consulting
14:45
forever. YouTube revenue streams. I am
14:47
now a full-time creator. [music]
14:49
Like for real, for real this time. The
14:51
place where small routines added up to a
14:53
version of me [music] that I'm truly
14:55
>> And the apartment [music] that held me
15:00
steady through every upload, every
15:01
pivot, every plane ride.
15:03
>> It's autumn in New York City. A [music]
15:05
freezing day. Actually, below freezing
15:07
day. It's springtime, [music] baby.
15:10
Listering 92° day here in New York City.
15:12
Thank you for everything. I'll see you
15:20
