I should get in on the action, but I'm bringing a towel because I'm not sitting on those subway seats having skin to seat contact.
No way I would do that.
Are Londoners divided on this?
How do you feel about it?
What are some of the arguments that people in the UK might make for and against it?
I feel like in New York, if someone was wearing underwear on the train, no one would even look.
You would know the tourists on the train because they would be the ones staring.
You get people in insane costumes.
No comment whether I do or don't, but I do have trousers on.
Who knows what's going on under there?
But yeah, I just, I feel like, and in one of the stations, I think it's like West 4th Station, a guy dresses up in a rat costume with an oversized stuffy pizza.
And he like runs around the platform grabbing the pizza, pretending to be like a pizza rat.
And the New Yorkers don't even look at the guy.
It's only the tourists who are like taking photos and going, oh my God, it's the pizza rat guy.
Did you give them a buck?
I saw a good short form video of like a woman in Times Square being like, there's so many tourists here.
Here's how you can tell if there's New Yorkers around.
And then she starts screaming crazy stuff at the top of her lungs.
And then she zooms into somebody who doesn't look and she's like, that's a New Yorker.
And then she zooms into a tourist, like staring at her horrified.
