Default A Bad Day For KJFK Ground Controller

I received the following from a friend:

Here is a funny episode with a JFK ground controller and numerous
aircraft taxiing on the ground. Ground control at busy airports
like JFK is the busiest and most complex position in the tower.
There can be a hundred different taxi ways and most of them are
crossing runways or very close to it. One wrong turn by an
aircraft can lead to disaster or just a nightmare like this sound

So you can follow the action, there is an airport diagram available

I couldn't follow the action even with the diagram! I thought the guy
did a masterful job, even though someone else thought he was rude. I'll
take this guy any day.
