Colin Jost's Wild Ferry Buy: Smart Lesson or Money Pit?

0:00On April 29th, Colin Joes just spilled the tea on buying that old Staten Island ferry with Pete Davidson back in 2022. They dropped $280,000 on the decommissioned John F. Kennedy boat, and now he's chatting about it on the upcoming smart list. Podcasts with Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes. He broke the news first to his dad, a Staten Island teacher, who hid back with a classic line asking if he did his homework. Joes admitted he already closed the deal before texting. Then he messaged Scarlett Johansson, his wife, saying they own a ferry now, and she replied with a simple question mark on the wee part. Joes sees it as smart real estate, like snagging 65,000 square feet of waterfront space for a steal in New York. He pushed back hard on rumors calling it a moneypid, saying it's already paid for itself through events they've hosted there. They've turned it into a spot for parties, even docking it at Pier 17 for a Tommy Hilfiger fashion show during New York Fashion Week.

1:00Joe streams of making it an everyday entertainment club, or a middle class swim spot on the water. He's owning up that it was his wildest buy as a usually conservative spender, but the talks with aquatic engineers and maritime law experts keep it, exciting as they figure out the best path forward.
