Mark Malkoff, comedian, film maker, amateur daredevil and most recently the boss of free cab rides has done it again.  You may remember Mark when I highlighted a segment he did a few months back when he raced a NYC bus with a Big Wheel bike and won.  Yep.  New York buses are that efficient.  Well Mark is back on the streets again in a new segment where he cabs around fellow New Yorkers for 1 day and picks up the tab.  I know what you're thinking.  Isn't there a show that already does that?  Yeah.  It's called Cash Cab with Ben Bailey.  This is Mark.  I'm glad I cleared that up for you.

The instructions were simple.  Tweet or Facebook message him your destination and he aimed to get you there.  Hundreds of requests and 14 hours later, Mark had completed what he set out to do. Provided New Yorkers with a free cab ride, picking up a tab totaling $486 dollars and getting to act completely like himself.  Such antics include but not limited to:

1) Pasting Tony Danza's face all over the cab's exterior. 

This seemed like the right move.  Angela's face was probably already taken.  And probably got him free cannolis when he went through Little Italy.

2) Proposing to an old woman

Even though Mark is married, that didn't stop him from flirting/proposing with a Grandma.  Sure, she's old, but on the bright side he'll always have a lifetime supply of hard candies. Genius.

3) Random Guy helps him shave

At this point Mark probably wants to see what he can get away with.  He gets a guy to help him shave and then shrieks like a scared girl.  Totally worth it for comedy.

40’s Episode (by cewyourmom)

“Current Events with your Mom - New day, new events, but do Scott & Tash actually talk about current events?  Or just drink 40s?  Lets find out…”

We discuss an old teenage past time, our aspirations for the future and why Coors should really rethink their current ad campaign.

3rd episode is up, edited by yours truly. Please like, follow, reblog or comment. BUT DON’T drink and drive. It’s way too much multitasking.

I saw a guy on the street with a trench coat on. What went through this guy's head that THAT was a good idea?  Did he wake up and think "I want to look like a creepy pedophile today"

Why can’t we eat donuts and chocolate whilst working on our fitness? What do you think about during your workouts? I think about the food I’m going to eat, Scott thinks about starving himself. This should be good.

Scott & Tash Discuss “Working Out” This one is a shorter vlog, but still good.

Hey There, this is our first vlog post attempt. It’s been interesting. Today’s topic was last weeks events. Enjoy!

We talked about the Boston Improv Festival, fat chins and a bunch of other unrelated garbage stuff.

You know you've lived in NYC too long when you start noticing the same bums. "Oh that's just Larry again sunbathing and doing standup on the sidewalk." Classic Larry.

Ohhhhh....so THAT's why they keep raising Metrocard prices.  To reward all the hard work.  Now I get it.

Mcdonald's decides to pull this ad from NYC subways.  The ad encourages you to drink an iced coffee to avoid waking up in Far Rockaway. 

I honestly think this is pretty genius and funny ad.  I mean, who HASN'T fallen asleep on the subway at 3am only to wake up in a strange and weird place!? Not that I'd want an iced coffee at 3am after a night of drinking, but still the ad is funny and only pokes fun at the fact that Far Rockaway is far as shit.

Wow - so futuristic and yet so dated.  Didn't gas stations roll out this technology like 10 years ago?  We all saw how that caught on...

I'll personally miss the sheer enjoyment of watching tourists do a quick swipe and get massively rejected by the turn-stile.  Then again, there's still hope.

The animators POV on NYC-based movie locations.  Nothing says NY more than the animated Ghost clay scene in the middle.

Not that there's anything wrong with that! - Behind the scenes of the upcoming 8th season of Curb your Enthusiasm.  The new season, which was filmed last summer in NYC and is set to take place here and in L.A., is set to premiere July 10, 2011.  This new season looks great with new plot lines including Larry vs. Girl Scouts, Larry vs. Michael J. Fox/Parkinson's, and Larry playing softball/arguing with Rosie O'Donnell.

In other unsurprising news - Charlie Sheen Booed off stage in NYC.  The former Two and Half Men star is currently travelling the U.S. with his - My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option - Tour.  To date, the tour has received mixed reviews.  

Hey Charlie, rather than create a slapped together "Conan-esque shove it to the network executives who fired you" tour, you should stick with the things you're good at.  You know...porn stars, drugs, trashed hotel rooms, and 3am Youtube ramblings.  THAT'S the Charlie Sheen we have grown to love.  Not this crap.

You know how when you get on an New York City bus you always think to yourself: "Ughhh.  Why is this god damn bus soo slow!?  I could probably walk faster than this damn bus."  

Well...Mark Malkoff of MyDamn Channel actually races a bus on his Big Wheels bike to prove just how slow it is.

New dress code for cabbies, really!?  That seems like a sound investment.  What's on the agenda: Khakis and Polo for a business casual door to door experience?  Or would it be more of a formal affair with tuxedo service?  Here's a wild thought: just get me to my destination without putting up a fight.  Regardless of how hilariously unnecessary a dress code would be, why not invest in something New Yorkers would truly care about.  Say...English as a second language classes.  Just throwing that out there.  Or how about simple etiquette classes.  I can't tell you how many times I"think" the cabbie is asking me a follow up directional question, but in reality he is merely talking into his hands-free headset.  Great now I feel like an asshole.
