-: Joy of thinking about sharing myself with the guests
is that everybody is comfortable.
It puts us on such a human level.
It's what I think this is all about,
my being able to look into your eyes,
your being able to look into mine,
and go, we're all in this together.
When we're on an excursion,
we can be amazed that a sea turtle just swam by,
like happened yesterday in the bay,
with us in the water.
It's a shared experience.
-: Well, yesterday, I led an expedition
of, I think, 74 Star Trek fans, snorkeling expedition.
And the great thing about it,
we had a terrific
company that owned the,
that was the contractor for the snorkeling cruise.
The were an all-women crew.
We had a female captain,
I told her the moment I got on the ship
that I was used to serving a female captain.
I don't think she got why I said that
until she was told by everybody else
that we were a Star Trek cruise.
It's a bonding experience with the fans
to go on one of the excursions with them.
On the last cruise in Jamaica,
we climbed a waterfall together,
which was a little dangerous, frankly.
And I think that really did bring us all together
when I fell down and they kind of caught me.
And then other people fell down worse,
so it wasn't just the old guy from Star Trek who fell down.
There was no real danger.
I led another expedition in San Juan
to go around the old town,
and then we learned how to make mofongo,
and how to drink mojitos, which I already knew.
-: The only thing that was surprising to me
was on my hosted excursion that I did yesterday,
we did a shot of all of us standing on the beach,
of everyone on my excursion.
And then later towards the end
when we were about to leave,
they said, "Let's do one in the water."
So we had everyone behind me in the water,
and we took that shot,
and then I started making everyone laugh,
telling them funny stories,
and so they all kind of formed this circle.
And we were all just bobbing and moving (laughing)
with the surf and everything.
And just the look on the faces of the people
that were on the beach
that were not part of this cruise
and another cruise ship,
they were just all looking out there,
thinking, who is the Asian Jesus in the water
with all these (laughing) people surrounding him?
And so I made a joke about that in the comedy act,
that I was baptizing people.
I baptize you in the name of Harry Kim,
bringing them up out of the water,
so super fun, super fun.
