So we've been through the Hars and Gaza today, the intent of Trump's EPA to end all

greenhouse gas regulation by the EPA and the mass shooting

in Midtown last night. So in our last five minutes or so, we're going to end on a somewhat lighter note.

We're going to open up the phones for a call-in on your side hustle. What's your side hustle? Tell us about it. 212-433 W-Ny-C, 433-9-6-9-2. And even this has kind of a serious underpinning.

There was a Wall Street Journal story in June that inspired this segment about how Americans are picking up side hustles at a rate not seen

since the Great Recession after the financial crisis of 2008-2009. So we want to know. We're inviting

you to say, are you one of them? And what have you recently started doing for some extra change?

Dog walkers, babysitters, food delivery folks, give us a call, tell us what your

side hustle is and maybe tell us why you need it in this economy. 212-433, WNYC, 212, 433,

9692. And speaking of recessions, the story also linked the rise inside hustles to fear of another recession.

It seems like everything from throwback footwear to flash mobs is getting called the recession indicator.

So we want to know what rings true for some of you.

Did you pick up a side hustle because of the economy?

Do you think it's an indicator of a potential recession to come?

212-433 WNYC, just call up and shout out your side hustle.

212-433-96926-92 or you can text.

We also want to hear and invite you to say how lucrative these side hustles are or not.

How much money does your side hustle net you a month?

Do you do it just for a little extra income because you feel like you want that or because

you need to or maybe purely for the love

of the game, taking all comers, 212-433, WNYC, 212, 433, 96692, or maybe this is old news to you
