Transcript

watch me realize in real time that my doctor's appointment is in the NYC building that is falling down. I'm like, why is there like a medical emergency truck and people looking up at this building? It's the building where the beams are like tumbling. I'm like, oh, it's actually pretty chill all things considered. There was a guy standing there on alert with a van marked emergency assistance van. You see a news truck there. The whole building falls, I don't know, that's going to be enough. The weird thing is it does look like totally normal from here. Yeah, that's like not something you want to mess around about. Oh my god. Oh my god, I think my OBGYN is in that building. You're kidding. Oh my god, it's in the building. I've never been here before, this is my first time. What the I do? Right, this is the building that like might fall down, right? Um, is it blocked off? I have a doctor's appointment and it's like showing me that the address is here. Is the building still open?
