Is there a way to track down specific clips of the Rebbe that play next to the office by the Ohel?

You can call the front desk at the ohel
Should be too hard for them to locate

Such as, will Fishy make it to the Ohel or the Kosel first?

What's the nightly rate?
Can I get late checkout?
Will they store my kosher food?
Can I check in under someone else's account?

Seriously though... why is there a front desk there?

To help people with tefillin, explain the customs and "procedures", answer questions like "why are you here?" from you or "is there a specific prayer to say?" "why are there crocs and candles?" etc.

ETA: it would appear you aren't familiar with who is found at the ohel. Every type of person, Jew and non Jew.

The real question is why is the front desk in the back?

I hear that, makes sense. And the ETA explains why you don't see that by other tzaddikim.

No nightly rate, we reel you in that way and make the big bucks later when you start buying bendelach.

Can I get late checkout?

What does late mean? Oh, and you can leave whenever you want but you can never checkout
Will they store my kosher food?
With a Satmar hechsher? No way
Can I check in under someone else's account

Of course, we understand that many people can not be seen here, and we will gladly facilitate your visit under a different persona.

Someone PM'd the same. The Rebbe was talking about the mesiras nefesh of previous generations, when the gashmius was horrible and they still took the time to daven and learn while running their businesses. He goes on the contrast today's wealth of gashmius, when meat is no longer a luxury. The most memorable line would probably be when the Rebbe talks about today's (70's?) housewives wanting wall-to-wall carpeting, and how previous generations would wonder why we're covering up perfectly good planks of wood.

It may have been contected to some publication relating to America Iz Nisht Anderish (series?).
