0:00.0	How long gone recording in progress.
0:20.1	It is Chris Black. I am coming to you from a still snow covered New York City. The sun is out though, so things are looking up. I heard on the fashion people, the great podcast on Puck with our friend Lauren Sherman, that you're okay with the cold weather as long as the sun is shining, right? Well, I would prefer
0:39.1	no gray snow on the ground, but I have to say that, and I hate to give Maybach-Zo more credit,
0:45.4	but the streets are quite clean. Cleaner than when Mayor Eric Adams was in charge. Yeah,
0:52.0	yes. Well, I don't really, I wasn't paying attention quite as much when Mayor Adam, I was only paying attention to his catchphrases. I sort of wasn't worried about what he was doing as far as the streets were concerned. It feels unfair that he was not under the same amount of scrutiny as May box-o. I completely agree, Jason. That's, that's an L I'm going to take and I'm going to learn and get better, hopefully.
1:12.0	Look, it's not you.
1:13.1	It's all of us.
1:14.0	It's all of us.
1:14.7	But yeah, I've been trudging through the snow.

1:38.2	And it was, I would say, a hard, to extremely hard sleet coming down.
1:43.8	And the snow was touching eight or nine inches
1:46.4	pause so i was it was just it was me it was it was it was chris versus the elements and luckily
1:52.6	i did make it home in one piece and was able to secure the pack uh at apollo bagels okay how many
1:59.0	how many miles is it from equinox to ap bagels? I would say miles might be an overestimation. I would say it's probably in the 15 to 16 minute range. But in these, in those conditions, Jason, it's, I might as well be scaling Taipei 101. Okay, so 15 minute cab ride or a 15 minute walking?
2:20.7	I walked only in the snow.
2:21.3	You can't take it.
2:22.8	It takes longer in a cab. I was just joking.
2:23.6	I was just joking.
