You're like, it's this close to Taylor Swift's house.

That's all I know.

Something just happened where they shut down for a while.

Yeah.

I want to make sure I'm not speaking out of school here.

Yeah, health department.

I think they were pretty, oh, it says the word vermin.

I hope they fix it.

I'll tell you, that's the thing I never expected in New York.

Rats?

It's like you open a food place in New York.

You open anything in New York, rats is on your checklist of what you have to be ready to deal with.

I mean, it's crazy.

It's crazy.

And the city just acts like, well...

that's the city that's your problem it's like why don't you fix the rats thing a little bit they cannot no they cannot those rats got bold or they evolved during covid dude yeah they walk right up to you now in new york they didn't used to do that rats used to scurry if they saw anybody they walk up to you now like it's wild they evolved i heard a thing probably had to get more aggressive to survive because all the food got cut off because there was no restaurants open

Well, also, too, the places that were shut down, so many shut their doors but left their stock and abandoned ship.

So the rats got in there, and it was fucking, you know, it was Charlotte's Web, the fucking rat at the picnic, whatever that fucking temple did.

They just had a field day.

But somebody told me what construction guy told me once he goes dude rats are some of the smartest fucking creatures on earth he goes scaffolding When they're scaffolding on a building when they when they're doing work on a building it opens everything up and rats tend to come He said sometimes what they'll do is they'll hang dead rats from the scaffolding and other rats will see the dead rats and Go don't fuck with that place.
