00:00Sweltering out right now, it's so hot, and New York City, in the summertime, the
00:06sights, the smells, the sweats, it's terrible. But I am going to show you guys how to stay-cation.
00:13Hey guys, this is Awkwafina. Welcome to New York. This is Ballin' on a Budget.
00:18August is when New Yorkers seek shelter from the swelter, but during peak season, even dirty jersey prices skyrocket.
00:27If you can't afford a vacation, get creative and stay-cation.
00:31A successful stay-cation starts with renting out your pad.
00:36I don't have mints, but I have mint gum.
00:39Advertise your pad online to make that sweet cash. A good pick can take a 2 to a 10.
00:46You never know where your stay-cation might take you, so pack for everything.
00:51This is nothing compared to my emotional baggage.
00:54When you're stay-cationing, keep it four stars and above.
01:00Hotel pools are for guests only, and technically, you're a guest anywhere you don't live, so...
01:06Oh, thank you.
01:10The trick is to act like you belong. Charge a couple drinks to your room so nobody gets suspicious.
01:15Oh, thank you.
01:16What was your room number again?
01:17Five?
01:26Oh!
01:30And I will be on my way. Thank you.
01:33Who needs a whack hotel like this when you know where the true R&R really is?
01:37Really?
01:39Okay, all right.
01:41For the best stay-cation, keep it in the family.
01:46How you doing, Grandma?
01:49I'm so surprised you're coming.
01:50Do you have a working washer and dryer?
01:52Of course.
01:53Okay.
01:54You know I always do your laundry. It's stupid.
01:56Okay, bye.
01:57Grandma.
02:00I wish I could live here. The city's so bad.
02:04I wish too.
02:05Hey, Grandma, I hope you don't mind if I crash here for a while.
02:07Why?
02:08I rented out my apartment to a stranger.
02:11Look, I put up security cameras in my house so I can see if he's stealing anything.
02:17Oh, my God. He's in the shower.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Oh, my goodness.
02:21I only had enough budget for one camera so I put it right in the shower.
02:24That's where a lot of the criminal activity goes on.
02:29And that is how you stay-cation like a boss.
02:33And there's also no place like home, right, Grandma?
02:36Yeah, I know.
02:38It's hot as balls in here, though.
02:39Oh, sorry.
02:40Air conditioning is broken.
02:42We have that in common.
02:45What's up?
02:46It's Awkwafina, rapper and comedian from Queens, New York.
02:48The only thing I like more than a New York slice is saving money.
02:52I'm going to take you across the city to ball on a budget.
