Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of Left Podcast. This is a

sample of our recent bonus episode usually only available to members. These

episodes are comprised of our crew of researchers, Amanda, and myself all getting together for a roundtable

discussion on topics that we find interesting. So here's a few minutes for free

so you can know what all the fuss is about. And then the private clubs, they mentioned that the mayor of New York, who's, I don't know,

I only catch headlines about him every once in a while but like they're never positive

Apparently he likes to hang out at one of these private clubs that charge either from like what I love the

the range 1,000 to 200,000 initiation fees that's just to get in and then

there are the annual dues on top of that.

One of these private clubs I think is kind of near the pier,

which is convenient for you to access the private helicopter

service that'll take a group of up to six

to any of the local airports for about $2,000 one way.

Primarily the Hamptons, obviously.

No, I think that's a lot more.

I think that's like 5,000 to get you the Hamptons. But it's like it's only 2,000 if you want to go to a nearby airport and pick up your private jet. Keep in mind though, I think the $2,000 private helicopter ride is for the whole group of up to six so if

your helicopter pooling you can also really save a bundle on that it's like like, you know, only a few hundred dollars

a person to get to the airport.
