| 0:00.0 | Brian and Larry on WNYC. |
| 0:13.0 | There's some breaking Eric Adams news this morning. |
| 0:16.4 | We're going to bring it to you, having to do with the indictments. |
| 0:19.6 | Yesterday, he held his first news conference at City Hall since the indictment, |
| 0:24.3 | and it was very different from the typical Tuesday general news conference that he does. |
