I feel for Casey Neistat, I actually do. According to his latest video: His left knee creaks when he kneels. Presumably it is more noticeable when he runs.

Move Forward, Look Ahead, Stay Focused
"Listen, do you wanna go back, or do you wanna stay here? I get it. It's nice up here. You can just shut down all the systems, turn out all the lights, and just close your eyes and tune out everyone. .... It's safe. I mean, what's the point of going on? What's the point... Continue Reading →
