- So you come right here around this pole right here,
turn to go to the, oh no, there it is.
Right at shin-height, right when
you're rushing to make the intersection,
ready to hurt you.
This is it, folks, the worst fire hydrant in Los Angeles.
(upbeat electronic music)
I hope that your water has saved thousands.
Los Angeles is not traditionally known
as a good public transit or mobility city,
but I can get to everywhere using LA's public transit.
If I need to go somewhere, it's only a matter of time.
And the sunglasses go back on.
And now it's bright so we've gotta go hat too.
This was a gift from my then-girlfriend, now fiance.
It's because I always have to wear hats
so I was stuck with these baseball caps
that weren't classy or interesting.
You couldn't wear them to work
or anything like that, so she thought it'd be fun
to try to get some more different and interesting hats.
I don't really like any hats.
A lot of times, you wind up just copying and pasting it
into something that looks very plain.
(laughs)
(R&B music)
- [Voiceover] Mark, it's me!
- Uh, okay, walking directions,
what do you want from me?
The trick is, when the cars that are going
the same way you're going are going,
it's safe to walk.
Don't be fooled by left-turn arrows.
Those might kill you.
We're going to the comedy show.
ID time?
Do you need it outta the thing, or can I flash it FBI style?
I'm going to attempt to order two of a lower end drink.
Finding out what lower end drinks are available
is the first challenge.
Sometimes I cave and just order
the thing who's name I just heard.
Hey, do you guys have any specials or anything today?
Okay, uh-- (laughs)
What do you guys have on tap?
Oh, yeah.
I don't have my glasses on, I'm sorry.
It's not going as well as I had hoped.
I had to pull the glasses lie.
I'll just have two of whatever the cheapest one is.
What do you recommend?
That could not have gone worse.
As far as me getting a drink that I want quickly.
And without embarrassment.
I don't know why I don't just say I can't see well.
I think people just understand, "forgot my glasses"
so quickly that it doesn't require any explaining.
'Cause it's not like they really care.
They just need to know how to do their job
and I'm trying not to admit that I can't help them.
You can't win them all, you know?
Hi, can I get four pastor and one carne?
Oh, well, it's easy.
I play topping roulette (laughs)
You know, I've thought about it,
but I just don't want to call that much attention.
There's a serious embarrassment level to it,
and maybe it's just an insecurity thing,
but so often I would rather be perceived
as slightly awkward than handicapped.
It's hard because I would like to be
more than just that, you know?
Yeah, exactly.
I feel like I have other things to contribute
and I would love for those to be acknowledged.
There are a million small awkwardnesses
that creep into your day because
you don't have the same information
that everyone else has,
and part of the trick of dealing with it
is being honest, which I've failed at
a couple of times today.
I don't have my glasses on, so I honestly
not sure at all what any of the options are. (laughs)
But another part of the trick of it
is hoping that people don't pass
character-assassinating judgements on you.
I guess it's really just, try your best
and hope that everyone's cool with it.
And here we are at the home.
Thank you to Keith for the ride
and for following me all day.
- It's me, it's really me. - It's Keith!
- [Keith] Cool, see you buddy!
