00:00 >> And of course you're looking at the iconic ball in Times Square in New York City. We
00:10 have about 38, 37, 30, 30 seconds left to drop.
00:14 >> 30 seconds left until the ball drops.
00:15 >> An estimated 1 million people attend this every year. Started back in 1904. The ball
00:21 drop started in 1907. Carolina, wouldn't you love to be in New York City?
00:25 >> No, I love being here in Houston, baby, but we can watch it here on the screen.
00:30 >> There you go. >> All right.
00:31 >> That was a quiz. That was a pop quiz for you.
00:33 >> That's right. All right, we're about to count down with our East Coast folks.
00:36 >> Okay, count down now. >> Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:43 >> Happy New Year! >> And there you go. Happy New Year for our
00:46 people on the East Coast. >> On the East Coast, New York City. But we
00:49 only go by Central Standard Time. We want Texas time. Texas or nothing. And we have
00:55 one of our favorite people. >> Madeline Rivera! Woo-hoo! We talked with
01:02 you last year when the ball dropped, and now we're with you again, babe. How is it over
01:07 there right now? >> Carolina and Isaiah, I know you guys have
01:13 an hour to go before ringing in the New Year, but, man, happy New Year from New York City.
01:18 You've got New York, New York playing right now. It is hard to describe the emotions here
01:24 in Times Square. There are just so many people here, happy, screaming, some of them kissing
01:30 at midnight. I mean, there's just so much joy around you. Really, there's nothing else
01:35 like Times Square. I know I heard Isaiah say there, you know, wouldn't you want to be in
01:39 Times Square? And I'm going to be side with him, Carolina, okay? There is nothing like
01:44 being in Times Square at this moment right now. Hundreds of thousands of people here.
01:49 Some of them have been here year after year. Others are here for the first time checking
01:54 off a bucket list item. They've made new friends. They've forged all of these relationships
01:59 after standing out here for hours. We've seen so many great performances. Megan Thee Stallion,
02:05 LL Cool J, Paul Anka, and now we have New York, New York playing right now. Happy New
02:10 Year. It is just an incredible feeling. We're just so happy. And of course, happy to be
02:15 sharing it with you for the second time in a row with friends, Carolina and Isaiah. Happy
02:21 New Year to you guys.
02:22 Happy New Year to you.
