Hi everyone!

Hi everyone, hopefully you're wearing a mask.

Okay, here's the thing, I thought we should start right off the top with the most important

messaging, which is, of course, wear a mask.

Well, I mean, listen, like, I think just in general, I gotta say, and actually I wanted

to go, first off, Merkeens and Murder has their own face masks now, so you need to be wearing

a mask.

If you're not wearing a face mask, you need to be wearing a Martini's and Murder face

mask.

Preferably both, which you can get at shopoxygen.com and they're really cute and they even

have the LGBTQ pride ones, which I love.

But, you know, I wanted to talk about New York City in general, John, because I know that

you were here, and so I kind of wanted to just like go into that pretty quickly because

I saw on your, I want to say, with this book, that you basically had given like a rundown

of facts, which were just so eloquently said, and it was just, it was really beautifully

written, and it was just very easy to kind of understand.

I think this was on your personal page, though, not on Martini's and Murder, and, you know,

essentially, you know, you're in Maryland right now, and I'm in New York City, and I know

on a lot of different places, you know, radio and other podcasts that I talk about how easy

it is to get tested in Manhattan, and I know that recently, you were asking me how

it is in New York, and I was like, I don't know, the numbers have gone down, and everyone

seems like they're wearing masks.
