| 0:00.0 | It's the Brian Lairn Show on WNYCM, Bridget Bergen, filling in for Brian today on Friday. |
| 0:16.1 | Now we're going to end today's show with your post-election refresh calls. |
| 0:20.7 | It has been a long election season. |
| 0:23.6 | Here at the Brian Lear show, we began interviewing candidates for mayor in January and haven't |
| 0:29.3 | stopped our coverage since, but now New Yorkers and New Jerseyans, you've made your decision. |
| 0:34.8 | It is time to rest and think about maybe something other than |
| 0:39.0 | electoral politics, at least for just this weekend. So listeners, what are you going to do |
| 0:45.2 | to reconnect with the world beyond politics now that election day has passed? Give us a call. |
| 0:50.8 | 212-433 W-NYC. That's 212-433-9-6-92. You can call or text. We assume a lot of you, |

| 1:29.1 | even been involved in some of these campaigns. Maybe did you work the polls throughout early voting |
| 1:34.3 | or participate in any canvas operations, knock any doors for a candidate? What are you going to do now? |
| 1:40.9 | Now that you have passed that election, your weekends are free, call and tell us how you plan |
| 1:46.4 | to reengage with the city's culture and everything else the city has to offer. Are you seeing any |
| 1:51.9 | movies, maybe visiting a museum to catch an exhibit that's been about to end? Maybe catching a |
