H-10-0-N to the E-R.

I love this city.

Now give the city his honor.

Wait, that's not the Brian Lerichow theme.

You know what it is?

That is Mayor Adams' walk on and walk off music at many of his news conferences and other events.

As we turn out, a WNYC and Gothamist political reporter, Elizabeth Kim, who's been joining us on Wednesdays

covering the Eric Adams to Zeran, Mamdani, mayoral transition.

We may have heard that music for the last time yesterday because among

the items in the last week is a fiery farewell media event by Adams yesterday. Also, Mamdani's

invitation to New Yorkers to meet with him one on one. How many of those did he do in one day on

Sunday? Also, the apparent elevation to New York City Council

speaker of Julie Menon being described as a moderate who is not Mom Dani's first choice. And

more. We'll play some clips and talk and invite your calls and text. Hi, Liz. Happy Wednesday,

Brian. So let's start with the outgoing before we get to the incoming.

We heard the Adams' walk-on, walk-off music there.

What was this sort of farewell media event that the mayor held?

I like how you're calling it a media event, Brian.

Yesterday, I called it a swan song, and he's been doing select interviews on his way out.

But this was largely expected to be the last time he convened the political press corps in City Hall, right?

This is actually typically done by the mayor as a, there's sort of, there's always an annual sort of

year end reflection.
