00:00It's not about fighting, this is a path, it is a way of life and I can tell from some
00:15of you here today, that you are far off of that path.
00:20What's the password?
00:22Um, I don't remember it.
00:26Forget it, it's just so hard, it's just too hard.
00:31I couldn't agree more, man.
00:32I want you to take a peek at this.
00:33What are you, a rapper?
00:34I'm bigger than that, man.
00:35I don't rap, man, I manage.
00:36They're called, uh, pelmeni.
00:37They're actually, they're actually not that good frozen.
00:38There's this place on, um, Ocean and Avenue U that makes them.
00:49You wouldn't have any interest in showing me the stumpling spot, would you?
00:55My parents are from Ukraine.
00:56I was born here.
00:57I'm totally American.
00:58It's a beamer, bro.
01:00Being first generation is sort of like, like being between two places.
01:04I've just, I've been thinking a lot about my life, you know, man.
01:10I feel like I gotta, I gotta make a move, you know, I feel like I've been treading water
01:13and I want to do something big, you know.
01:19My family's from a place that attempted this progress and it failed, miserably.
01:25You should wait in a few bread lines before you lecture people on what the government
01:28should be doing.
01:29Are you a Republican?
01:30We brought it upon ourselves.
01:31The end is nigh.
01:32Hey, honey.
01:33I'm in, uh, I'm in sales.
01:34Seriously?
01:35Oh, that's interesting.
01:36Great.
01:37Yes.
01:38Oh, my God.
01:39Take him outside, please, before I cut your throat.
01:58You're going to cut my throat?
01:59Yes, I will.
02:00You're going to cut my throat?
02:01Yes, I will.
02:02I was not having a good day.
02:03Not having a good day.
02:04It doesn't feel too hot, but now, mmm, best day of my life, huh?
02:11Best day of my life.
02:12Thank you, guys.
