| 0:00.0 | I'm going to be pretty boring. New York City. I know I've been in New York. |
| 0:23.4 | Really? Yeah. In fact, what I had such a good time last couple days, I was staying |
| 0:29.1 | at Brooklyn in a section of Flatbush called Little Hady, which I had never been to. In fact, |
| 0:36.0 | Easter morning, I'm not a Jew or secular Jew, but I went walking around in so many little |
| 0:41.4 | storefront churches and I love them. And they're all music is blasting out. You know, |
| 0:47.7 | none of them big enough for a congregation more than 30 people, the music and friends, |
| 0:51.2 | which I don't speak. You see all this kind of creativity, these immigrants, these folks who |

| 2:05.7 | never been, because I just felt like as a Jew, there's going to be no low stakes vacation in Germany. |
| 2:13.6 | I love Germany. I love German folks, but the history, that's tough. That's my idea of a vacation. |
