Yeah, why do they do that, turn green?
It's like doing the bottom of the ocean or something.
I think it's patina.
Patina?
Yeah.
Who's that?
Girl, I went to school.
Patina is the Liberty Bell.
That's patina.
Or the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell.
There's green.
That's copper.
Copper's copper color.
Oh, that's what that would be?
If you took some brass out of the Statue of Liberty?
Hit it with some CLR?
It would turn copper color?
I mean, in theory, yeah.
Why don't they do that?
I don't think you can.
Why not?
What do I look like?
I work at Kruger, smoothing industrial standing?
I don't fucking know.
They should do that.
That'd be nice.
That'd be good for the city.
Look into why they don't do it.
They probably could never finish it before it started turning green again.
The other side would turn green.
Oh, okay.
First of all, I could be completely wrong.
I'm guessing.
Also, that's been on there for like fucking 300 years.
I don't think you can take that off.
Thick coat.
Yeah, that's on there.
But it's not green.
It's copper.
Underneath.
Not underneath.
I mean, that is copper.
The Statue of Liberty is made of copper.
Is that what you're telling me?
Luke?
That's not what I'm telling you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is.
And the green patina actually protects the copper from further erosion.
So that's why they leave it.
All right.
Leave it.
Call it off, boys.
Kruger!
You didn't know it was copper?
Uh-uh.
I didn't know what it was.
Metal or some kind of steel.
I didn't know it was copper.
I didn't know.
So you're telling me that when they built that.
Stop saying like you're telling me.
Like, I'm like.
So when they built that, it was copper color.
It looked like a big penny.
I mean, I believe.
For a couple of weeks until it rained or something.
I mean, even still.
What do you mean even still?
I think if you leave a piece of copper out and it rains, it doesn't immediately
turn green like that.
So it took a while?
I always thought it was mint chocolate chip.
Take a scoop of that.
Scoop of freedom, maybe.
I remember when Orbit had that.
It was like fresh mint or something.
It was like mint chocolate.
Or maybe it was mint chocolate chip.
It was a mint chip gum for a little while.
I got nothing.
It was hot.
I don't think it was that hot.
Sounds gross.
Rocky road gum.
What do you got?
Took about 30 years.
Really?
To go green.
Get the fuck out of here.
Go birds.
Man, that's something I'd like to see.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
Go back and see it in its original color.
It'd be pretty cool.
Sure, I could do that for you.
Yeah.
It's all fake shit.
What was the closest you ever been to the Statue of Liberty?
Halston Street?
I don't know.
The Staten Island Ferry?
Okay.
Yeah.
I ain't been over there.
What's with the attitude?
What, you work there?
Where's the closest you've been, dickhead?
I don't like this.
What do you mean?
And I like mint gum.
And it was hot.
And it was hot when a chick had it.
And their breath smelled like mint chocolate chip a little bit.
Yeah.
Turned you on, huh, fatty?
Yeah.
It wasn't chocolate chip.
And you want to be the hot one.
It was like fresh mint or something or mint chip or something.
She was hot, though.
I'm sure she was.
Fucking dickhead.
Let's sit here with this bullshit.
Trying to do a goddamn show.
A little patina on your brain.
I'm sorry.
I think it'd be cool to see that in its original form.
I never said it wasn't.
I asked how close to the Statue of Liberty was.
And for some reason, that offended you.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
How you done?
I got Ryan texting me.
Ryan, shut up.
He's texting me facts about the Statue of Liberty.
Ah.
Ah.
