00:00I'm Roger, and I invite you to spend a week or two aboard one of my floating megastructures,
00:07doing a bunch of stuff that you could do just about anywhere else.
00:11But we want you doing it more expensively and with more difficulty on a big boat.
00:18Well, everything's more fun on a boat, because it's a boat.
00:22Oh, sure, it is a boat in that it might catch fire and sink.
00:25But you aren't really going boating. This thing is so big you can't even feel that you're on a ship.
00:31You're surrounded by an ocean you can't touch.
00:34Though if you like swimming, you're welcome to hop in the pool to inhale a little communal pee.
00:40Hey, no splashing! There really isn't room for splashing.
00:44I heard there are tons of activities to do on cruises.
00:47Oh, sure there are. Eat seven times a day,
00:51inflating yourself with room temperature shellfish till food poisoning plops you on the toilet for the rest of your voyage.
00:58Ignore your children for an entire week and let them go all Lord of the Flies in the kid's zone.
01:03Head to the casino to steadily bleed more money on top of what you already paid
01:08till you don't remember where you are or even what your name is.
01:12But there are shows, right? Music, comedy, magic.
01:17You know where else has shows? Literally any city on earth.
01:21Only elsewhere when a performer's awful,
01:23you don't have to worry about bumping into them again tomorrow and the next day.
01:28Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
01:29I hope you enjoyed my lukewarm political takes and my Cartman impression.
01:34I'll be here all week.
01:35And so will you.
01:36Uh, I was hoping for a luxurious vacation like the Titanic.
01:40Luxurious. We market cruises as a luxury to people for whom any vacation is a luxury.
01:47Which is, to be fair, a whole lot of people.
01:49But no actual rich people waste their time in these disease-incubating floating dormitories.
01:56I got a new strain from a passenger last week.
01:58They're calling it Hepatitis Ampersand?
02:01But, but, but Titanic.
02:03Yeah, Titanic, over a hundred years ago.
02:07You know why people took cruises then?
02:09Because a ship was the only route from one coast to another.
02:13But if they could just fly across the ocean in a few hours,
02:17and then spend the saved time on some other cooler rich person stuff, they would.
02:22They didn't have cruises back then that left New York and came back to New York one week later.
02:28Because that would be stupid.
02:29Because that would be stupid.
