00:00Where am I? The Hamptons? The Bahamas? Hawaii? No, I'm in Queens.
00:07I'm gonna show you guys how you can go to the beach without breaking the bank
00:11and also without having to leave the five boroughs. And also how to meet hot men.
00:16Hey guys, this is Awkwafina. Welcome to New York. This is Ballin' on a Budget.
00:22Taking your private jet to your private island isn't the only way to party at the beach.
00:30Take the Rockaway beach bus and relive the worst part of your childhood having to fight for the best seat
00:34on the bus.
00:35Hop on board for a measly $15. So allow me and my pal Effie to take you to the best
00:41beach ever, the Rockaways.
00:44The world is ours, Effie. I've only been to the beach once in my life.
00:48It wasn't really a beach, it was more of an old gas station.
00:51We got a live one. Anyone know how to freestyle to a police scanner?
00:56I'm gonna toss a word. Let's rhyme it around, okay? Sarcophagus.
01:03You know what this bus needs? A dance party! Let me hear it! Hey ladies!
01:10What a beautiful Bureau of Queens is! I love it!
01:13I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love it! I love
01:19it!
01:19Watch as I dazzle these surfer bros with my slang!
01:22Catching some rays! Alright!
01:26Looking like some surfer dudes! Thinking about doing a... maybe doing a surfing lesson.
01:30You guys down? You guys in for a surfing lesson? Maybe we can barrel out a little bit.
01:33Getting that white water wash, you know? Meet a conch!
01:37Going out! I'm gonna try to stand up. Hop up!
01:41We're at your feet!
01:44The water bird! Like a pelican, etc.
01:49Can we get in the water?
02:04Little tip from Beyonce. Everybody is hot or wet.
02:09Did you know you can even make money at the beach? Just ask my new pal, Hank.
02:15Metal detectors aren't just for creepy old dudes anymore. They're for creepy young ones, too.
02:25Handcuffs. Just what Hank was looking for.
02:36One day, Effie, all this will be ours.
02:43Probably not, but, you know...
02:45Anyway, we can come here on winter day.
02:48Naps are free anywhere, but they're especially right on the beach where you can soak in the rays.
02:53Cut, cut, cut.
02:54And I would play the trumpet, and I would just get these horrific sores on my mouth.
02:59I guess he's some kind of rancher or something like that.
03:01You're a good listener, Effie. I think that's why we get along so well.
03:04But I was just like, you know, am I in to Simone de Beauvoir?
03:10Emmy!
03:12She'll come back. She'll come back.
03:13I'll just nap, get a tan.
03:20Thanks to the Rockway Beach Bus, you can definitely summer in the city without leaving the city.
03:25You know what I mean?
03:27It was a good day.
03:28Feels really good to be alive.
03:30Real good.
03:33What's up? It's Awkwafina, rapper and comedian from Queens, New York.
03:37The only thing I like more than a New York slice is saving money.
03:41I'm gonna take you across the city to ball on a budget.
