00:06Hi, I'm Kate. I'm a social media editor at Refinery29, and I'm here today at the DMV to get my
00:11state ID.
00:12You know what else you can do at the DMV? You can also register to vote, so I'm gonna do
00:16that too.
00:17Hi, my name is Jessie Ridner. I'm a video editor. I'm the youngest out of four, so I'm very used
00:21to eating pizza quickly,
00:22because in my family, if you didn't, it would be gone.
00:24Today, I am challenging myself to eat a slice of pizza with a knife and fork in under five minutes.
00:30Eating it with a knife and fork in five minutes, even though it is eating it with a knife and
00:34fork,
00:34which I'm embarrassed to do on camera, will be easy for me.
00:37It's almost 8.30. The DMV is about to open. I wanted to get here early just in case there's
00:43a lie.
00:43I don't anticipate it taking much longer than like five or ten minutes.
00:46I've actually never done it before, so we'll see how this goes, especially because I have a plastic knife and
00:51fork
00:51that I'm doing this with, so it's like a classy act. I'm doing it with a very non-classy thing.
00:56They don't allow us to record video inside the DMV, but I'm going to take some audio recordings on my
01:00phone
01:01and keep track of how much time the whole process is taking.
01:04So I got my pizza, my plastic cutlery, and gonna get my stopwatch started,
01:09and I'm going to finish this slice of pizza in five minutes. So, ready? Go.
01:15Just got into the DMV, and the line seems like it's going to move pretty quickly, which is good.
01:22This is how big the pizza is. It's crazy. It's like, do I want to cut it all and then
01:26eat it or cut as I eat?
01:28Alright, so I have to fill out this application.
01:33I didn't expect to have to do that. I've filled out a bunch of personal information, my name, my birthday,
01:41my height, my eye color.
01:42Yeah, not easy to cut at all, but, like, I'm almost 50 seconds in and, like, got a pretty—this isn't
01:50that big of a pizza.
01:51If you are not registered to vote where you live now, would you like to apply to register?
01:56And I'm checking yes, and that took all of five seconds.
02:00It's not a minute thirty. I'll hold that.
02:03I'll be excited to get my New York ID.
02:05Okay, I'll take those. We are here just for our New York State ID card.
02:08And I want to also register to vote.
02:10Okay, so let's start off with what we need first, which is your Social Security card.
02:14You have two proof of addresses with you right now.
02:16Yes, I have a pay stub and a bank statement.
02:20That's all we need. Okay.
02:21Show the next person everything together like that. Great.
02:23That's going to be coming up real quick, though.
02:25We're at two minutes.
02:27Is the idea of documents there?
02:29Yeah.
02:29Are you getting an ID card?
02:31Yes, and I also want to register to vote.
02:33Ready to vote? Okay.
02:34I have 115 left.
02:36You must make one selection below.
02:38I'm going to get to pick a party.
02:41I'm not going to do it in five minutes.
02:48Summary.
02:48I am a US citizen.
02:49I am 18.
02:50I have chosen a party.
02:55Last year I voted.
02:56My name.
02:57K-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E.
02:59State.
03:00Is all this information correct?
03:02Last piece for 30 seconds to go.
03:04Come on.
03:07I'm going to drop.
03:09Voter registration application will be sent.
03:11Yay!
03:12Done.
03:13With 15 seconds to spare.
03:15So, I just got out of the DMV.
03:17The registration part was actually super quick.
03:19It was just checking a couple boxes and telling them what I wanted and I was done.
03:24445.
03:25I feel like I've made my family very proud of me.
03:28This was more of an obstacle than I thought it was going to be.
03:33It takes a long time.
03:34How long do I think it would take to register to vote?
03:37I would assume it would take a long time.
03:40Maybe like a half an hour.
03:41It took me probably less than a minute.
03:44I would be very, very surprised to register to do any of the stupid things that I registered
03:50to do on a daily basis.
03:51It takes a lot longer than that.
03:52If you could do this, this, or this, you have time.
03:58I promise.
03:59You have time.
04:00Excuse me.
