Summary

BONUS EPISODE - NOT RELATED TO CRIME

AS promised, I'm presenting content to you now which is NOT crime related. More episodes of New York City Crime Report will be posted within a day or two, with all the coverage of NYC crime on which you've come to depend. THE ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGING IS THAT EXTRA, BONUS, ADDITIONAL CONTENT is being offered to fans for their enjoyment or refusal. This is PART OF A BONUS SERIES IF YOU HAVE NO INTEREST, YOU ARE EXCUSED AND MAY LEAVE NOW. See you in a day or two, hope all is well.

This is the first full episode of a series devoted to helping listeners who, through no fault of their own, have been presented with flummoxing statements and wish to know what was meant by them.

It happens to us all. Someone says something to us and after the conversation is ended, it sticks in our mind, verbatim. We play it over in our heads because something seems off, but we can't quite figure out what exactly was meant.

Rules of social etiquette often prohibit you from trying to get clarity. It might've been, say, your boss or someone you'll never see again or maybe someone you don't want to see again. You don't want to open a can of worms, here. Still, it bugs you.

Here's the thing: I KNOW what they meant, and I'll tell you. We all have our own gifts, and parsing language, deducing human motivations, detecting subtext and translating baffling statements if one of mine. It's one I freely share and that's what this show is about.

In this episode, a married guy has separated from his wife and during a text exchange between the two of them, effective communication was not achieved. What are the consequences? Is this even a thing? Most importantly, what did she mean by that?

It will all be answered and then some, and you can listen in as we talk it out during a recent phone call.

0:01.5	From the smallest room in New York City.
0:04.1	It comes a show that gives you a reason to live.
0:07.4	All right. Joining me now, what's happening?

0:14.8	Oh, oh, wait.
0:17.7	I'll edit it out.
0:19.0	So you're a fan of the show and you're also a good friend and now you have left New York City and gone to Colorado. And how are things there with this with this plague?
0:34.4	It's hard to say. I'm out here in the mountains. I got guns and stuff. It's the exact opposite of New York City. You know, life kind of carries on out here. You know, people are pretty laid back. They just, they put a mandate on closing the weed stores, and then they revoked it three hours later yesterday because people
0:56.2	were lining up and seemed like a bad decision.
0:59.6	But, yeah.
1:01.2	Yeah, when people start hoarding a lot of weed, that can only go one way.
1:05.1	That would be the secondary market, I guess, or whatever you would call that. And so you're already used to kind of an isolated
1:13.4	lifestyle, it sounds like. Well, I mean, I don't want you to put it that way, but you're a crazy
1:19.9	old Unabomber in the mountains. No, no, it's fine out here.
1:28.4	It sounds great. I definitely don't miss Manhattan, especially right now.
1:32.3	Like on a good day, Manhattan is a bitch, you know, so I can't imagine not being able to, what do you get a, you get a $1 slice through a mail slot now?
1:42.6	What do you do?
1:51.0	No, you can, you can walk in and see a guy with a mask who's wearing gloves who'll hand you a slice of pizza. But these days, you know how you bump into people all the time in New York City?
1:55.0	If you bump into somebody now, it's like you make eye contact and everything, you know, it's weird.
2:05.6	The life stops for a moment and you go, hey, sorry.
2:10.6	You got all this personal. It's weird. There's a lot of space. But anyway, that's Manhattan.
