This week, we’re giving the crown (and a wet towel) to the NYC Heat Wave because nothing says New York like sweating through your shirt before 9am. We dive into the facts behind the city’s swelter, shout out the handheld fans keeping girlies alive on the G train, and make a case for why NYC public pools are the true luxury experience of summer 2025.
Grab your SPF, your sunnies, and your emotional support iced coffee, we're getting hot and bothered (city edition).

(00:15):
Hello, New York City. It's us, New York City.
New York, NY. We've just never started like
that. I just licked.
My mic I'm Nora Freed. And I'm Anna Trillander, and
you're listening to New Yorker. Of the week, New York hunk.
(00:40):
Here's a pigeon. Here's a pigeon.
There's a pigeon. Did you see that giant pigeon
ship? Nope.
It's it's sailing in New York. I didn't read any more than the
headline, which was just that a ship shaped like a giant pigeon
has hit New York and I. Stopped.
Well, you're already talking like the weather person, am I?
Yeah. You kind of have that flare
right now. That's amazing.
(01:00):
This is actually a funny trend of mine, I guess.
I keep saying to you like I keepsaying to you like, actually, my
dream job would be and you're like, I've never heard of that
before. Like last episode I was like.
Well, that's cruise director hasalways been a dream of mine,
that which I'm actually upset about.
Why? Because you never told me.
I told you I wanted to be a bar mitzvah hype person, of course,
(01:23):
and you that's kind of like I believe I.
Feel like that probably came up naturally.
There's been no way to say actually.
If all else fails, we both should get on a ship and you
could be the hype person. I'm going to stay on land.
You want to stay on land? My people.
The bar mitzvah, my people. But you can.
But you I wanna Gerlander Stein Gerlanderheim, Gerlanderheim.
(01:49):
You you can come on over and be a do this with me.
It's it's an amazing gig. I feel like.
You would crush. Hannah I guess I just like the
cruise director thing. Just seems you know what it is.
It's something about like the cruise is a community.
So if I'm the cruise director, I'm already part of the
(02:12):
community and like a leader in the community where like being
on land, like New York is a big city, you know, how do I become
the top of the city? That's a hard task, but to
become the top of the cruise that's that's achievable.
We need to watch Triangle of Sadness after this.
Why it'll deter me or inspire me?
I think it'll inspire you. It's really funny.
It's like dark humor. My other dream job is to be a
(02:35):
weather woman. And that brings us and on that
note, and on that note, our New Yorker of the week is the heat
wave, NYCNYC heat wave. We are really, holy moly, we're
in the thick of it. It's hot.
It's like it's the, it's hot NewYork of the year.
So I was practicing before when we were talking about this like
(02:57):
how I would weather woman, but it's actually, it doesn't come
naturally. My first one was way too
serious. I was like, good evening, New
York. I'm your weather woman.
I'm your local correspondent. You're going to give us an.
Update on bad news. But Trump has an accident.
But it's just but I think I'm going to do like a mix of like
Good morning, New York. I'm Hannah Drillander.
I'm Your local weather correspondent here in Brooklyn,
NY today where it is getting hot, it's hot out there hot, hot
(03:20):
and it's not getting cooler and there's nothing we can do about
it. The damage was done before we
got an. Accent.
No, she's kind of having a strong accent.
The accent came like the I had any, I had less idea what I was
gonna say, so I was like, maybe I can jazz up what's coming.
Yeah. They say like we have a massive
(03:41):
heat wave coming in from the north.
You're gonna see it across all 5boroughs.
It's gonna hit, it's gonna hit Manhattan.
It'll come back down to Brooklyn.
This is this is another thing like they I don't.
Know if they right here right here you're gonna it's really
hot right here but there was. Some rain coming in in two weeks
if you don't mind waiting. So here's the thing, and I, I
(04:03):
promise I won't go on this for too long, but I've been having a
huge, huge issue with my air conditioner because I swear, I
swear, we're I've been living inthis building for now going on
10 years. You do the math on my age and
you do that buck of math. Don't ask us.
They just told me in the last like 5 years that I can't have
(04:26):
my air conditioner in the main space.
I have to have in the kitchen. So now I have to have the air
conditioner kitchen and I have to blow the fan out into the
main space. And I was thinking to myself
today I cause I've been having alot of conversations with my
landlord about it and just like how crazy it is and I've gotten
a ceiling fan. I have all these fans and this
whole like wind tunnel thing that's happening.
And I'm like, only in New York we don't have central AC in
(04:49):
these pre war apartments and I have this huge set up happening
that's costing me thousands in. You're spending on that you're
you have like multiple fans running and it to be has to be
on high for the air to travel through the fan and be
effective. And it's just like and and it's,
it's like lukewarm in here. I wouldn't say it's cool.
(05:10):
I would say in the living room it's like in here it's cooler.
At the front entrance door, not at all.
The AC can't reach the front. But I was thinking, I was like,
I imagine my my parents sleepinghere for the night.
It would be like them sleeping at like an Amish hotel, like I'd
have to like. This is the dark ages for.
(05:31):
Them like I'd have to coach themlike because my stepdad likes to
have the AC up really, really intensely all summer.
Like he's really big on AC and my mom's kind of flexible, but
my stepdad really like, he hatesthe heat.
And so I was just thinking like,oh, if they came here and I
wasn't here and they were staying in my apartment, I'd
have to be like, OK, so you turnon the AC and then you turn on
(05:51):
this fan and the and you. Turn on the other pound and then
you give it time. Do it an hour before you're
going to bed. There's an amazing app for the
Medea where you turn it on an hour before you get home, but
that's going to be of time because once you get home you
got to get the fan. And you need that that to get
the air, cool air. Out like what is happening?
I know it's like only it's kind of always shocking when I share
(06:15):
with friends who don't or have never lived in New York, stuff
that's going on and then I see their reaction.
I'm like, oh, like also even when I talk about when I tell my
friends from home, like about like my walk to work, like they
don't walk to work and like my 20 minute walk in 90° weather,
like is nuts. Like that's just not a way to
live. But I'm not getting on the bus.
(06:37):
It's just 1520 minutes and like I don't know, I feel like the
heat is awful at certain times but I feel like as long as I
know I'm landing at ACI can do it.
And you might be asking yourself, you guys, are you for
real? You're, you're dedicating an
episode of the weather. Are you really?
This is where you guys are going.
(06:57):
And I think what we really want to lean into here in this
episode is the culture behind NYC heat.
Yeah, because people act different and they do, they do
different things to get through the heat.
I would say most notably, like Iwas saying to you before, like
everyone's naked, everyone's naked, everyone's like literally
(07:17):
like has no clothes on outside and it's fine.
I don't even feel like I'm getting like cat called like no
one cares. It's just like what you cannot
have on a shirt, you cannot haveon long pants.
Yeah, everyone's naked. Everyone's naked.
And what were you saying? The new one.
Everyone has a portable fan thatthey bring around.
Do you take yours with you? Sometimes, yeah, but I my so I
(07:41):
have a very weak one in comparison to the ones that
people now have. There's actually one that feels
like an air conditioner. It has a titanium plate in the
middle that actually makes you feel like you're getting an AC
shoot a shot into your face. Because like everyone when, if
they have AC at their house whenthey get home, they're just
standing in front of it. Like you have to just stand in
front of it for like 2 minutes and then you're good to go.
(08:02):
I How much is that? We can it's like on TikTok shop,
it's like I think it's like 20 bucks so.
Which is the best? Yeah.
It rules, so that one is a popular one for a lot of people.
I have a kind of an off brand you want to wear.
Around your neck. It's but not.
The neck one, there's a neck onethat has a fan on each side,
(08:23):
like under your ear. Yes, yours has like a you have a
necklace and then at the end of the necklace is the fan.
Mine's giving like, like kind ofa amusement park.
I was gonna say like a. Tour like a tourist or like a
zoo watcher, a zoo watcher, likesomeone who loves the zoo.
Like wait, like they. Work at the zoo or they're.
(08:45):
They're they're the audience member.
They're coming to go check out the zoo.
Because I was like, they're gonna wear that.
That would be an amazing job. Zoo Watcher.
Zoo. Watcher.
That could be my third career. I don't know, zoos make me
really depressed really because I hate seeing all the animals
locked up and I'm like you should be free and like.
I feel that way too, but then I also I feel like in a world
where they're not going to be free.
(09:09):
In Trump's America, they're not going to be free, so we got to
put them in the zoo. Well, I, you know me, I don't
travel. So if I want to see a giraffe,
it has to be at the zoo. There you go.
And then I just think about likehow much fun kids have at the
zoo. They do have and they learn so
much I. Think aquariums are good minus
like like I don't like sea worlds, but I like, I I like
(09:30):
fish, like little fish. Just nice.
Just show. I don't like when you, I don't
know if kids are excited. About that, I don't like when
they make the animals, like perform for you, but I kind of
like when they exist there and you just get to walk around and
see them existing and they're maybe happy to see you.
Yeah, that I feel my my originaltake on it wasn't ideal.
Yeah, no, I get it. I mean, I think, you know, UPS,
(09:52):
there's ups and downs. I what I yeah, my I need to get
a new fan. Maybe once I get a job, I'll
also get the AC as a treat. As a treat.
But here's the thing, I don't it's like 10 bucks around is
good. I keep saying that about
everything, OK, Like everything.Like I'm just like, oh, well, if
(10:13):
it's $10, you know, you're not out of it.
You know, you're, you still havea little bit there, but it's
like every little thing is adding up, starting to add up.
You got to I, you know what I need to do before I start the
other account. I was actually getting eBay.
I was thinking of you did. I the eBay account.
No, I was having a job. No, I I'm going to say
something, but if you want me tocut it out for the 5th.
(10:34):
Summer, I'm in a row. But if you want me to cut it
out, you can't. I was thinking about your
current employment situation happening at the same time as
Prime weekend. Click on Amazon must suck.
It's a tough one, but no, this is, this is actually really good
for me because I I fucking hate you, Jeff Bezos.
(10:55):
And now you can protest. And now I'm and I'm really,
really trying to stick with no more prime, which is a really
hard habit for me to break. I all admit it, I love prime.
And let's admit it to everybody.Everybody.
Even if you're not talking aboutit, you're using prime.
I mean, it's hard when you live in a five floor walk up and it's
like the the toilet paper is so discounted.
(11:16):
I can get like 12 packs of like 12 packs, like packs of of nine
rolls. Yeah.
So that's like. You do that math and then I and
then I don't have to. It's a huge box.
It'll last me forever. It's so cheap and I'm just like,
but no more Jeff. Hope your wedding was fun
because you're not going to haveanother one next year because
(11:38):
I'm not supporting Prime anymore.
So take that. Easy.
So I hope this marriage works. Do you Do you want to hear some
fun facts about NYC Heat? Yes, share the coffee one first.
New Yorkers consume more iced coffee than hot coffee year
round. Oh, that, that.
Wasn't the interesting 1 You guys buckle up for these.
(12:00):
Facts, Duncan reports. My brand, That's her brand.
That's. Our brand Duncan reports that
75% of drinks sold in NYC are iced even in winter, but sales
(12:20):
peak in July and August citywide.
And Dunkin like Dunkin' Donuts. Because when it's this hot, it's
undeniable that if you want a good large iced coffee, you have
to get that cup from Dunkin. I don't know.
What you just say I was like, I knew where it.
Was I'm shaky, but you know whatI mean, that that chicken, that
(12:40):
cup is so big and have you ever gone to like it's kind?
Of watery, so it's like a little.
High. Yeah.
You don't distress. And you don't mean distress.
Like you're not. It's not like if you were to get
a Starbucks, one that size or like a blank St. you'd be
shaking on the floor. Rest in peace.
But like from Duncan, I'm like getting.
I don't know what it's meant. Like Nora fed me too quesadillas
and I'm like odd one. She's shaking like about this
(13:03):
Duncan topic. OK, wait.
We looked up a lot of we have a lot of fun facts about the heat
wave. You're not.
Going to believe it. NYC I'll I'll say the fact in
Hannah gives you a reaction to it.
NY, NYC uses over 1 billion gallons of water per day in a
heat wave. That's actually very
interesting. That's up.
From about 980 million gallons on a regular day, this is 1
(13:27):
billion gallons of water, largely due to AC, fire
hydrants, showers and dishwashing.
Can I ask how people know how toopen a fire hydrant?
They don't. The fire department goes around
and they open them. Thank you.
Yeah, because whenever I see I. I said that was such like a
certain confidence I was. Like they don't like you.
(13:49):
Like you're on the team that schedules when they open.
They don't I. Thought in some of the research
we were doing that they that wassaid.
Because I feel like whenever I see people, people like right
now in New York, like are literally like just standing
under the hydrants. Kids are playing under them.
They're like slip and sliding, whatever.
I'm always like, how do they know how to open them?
I think they just let them open,which is so that people can play
(14:11):
with them or something. That's kind of crazy.
I hope that's true. It's.
Also really wasteful, but I don't know, Hopefully there's a
mix there's. A maybe, but isn't it like you
can like break it open? You could.
We should try, we should try. Wait, That could be something.
We could film that. Well, we also don't have to try
because NYC has over 1200 spray showers and water features
(14:32):
across its parks and playgrounds.
Many are sensor activated and were upgraded in the past decade
with LED lights and motion controlled jets.
So we actually don't even have to.
Jets or something? I don't know where these are,
but they're most over 1200 of them motion controlled.
Jets sounds like a threat. I would be afraid if I didn't
(14:55):
know there was a jet and I it was motion controlled and I
walked. Quiet wait.
Did I ask you something like a little off topic, but on topic,
of course, about a pool? Yeah.
Have you ever, have you ever like masturbated in a pool like
with the jet? I'm already thinking about the.
Jet, I just remember so many times, like how many times drunk
(15:17):
Anna, like, ruined a pool party 'cause she was like, alone in
the pool with The Jets, Yeah. And on that note.
So that is what I think when I hear something like that.
That's that's a tough one. So watch out because not only
are there 1200 spray showers andI might be sitting on a couple
of them. That's what I'm saying.
Like, like I said, I'm in when we were at that open mic and I
(15:39):
was like, everyone's like party handing to come back and I was
like, I used to like masturbate in public.
Everyone's like what? No, you probably didn't.
It's like, no, I did like she can't.
She shouldn't be drunk anymore. That's a dangerous It's a tough
one I love. Drunk.
It's a tough one. That's really scary.
This is where I saw the FD. Do they confirm during do do
(16:00):
they confirm during a three day heat wave?
So I guess it's three days. New York residents open an
average of 600 fire hydrants perday.
Oh I see. So take back what I said.
New York residents will will open them 600 a day and that and
the fire department actually goes around and caps them and
(16:20):
responds to illegal openings constantly during July and
August. I was like, they love.
Opening them for the people turns.
Out that they run around, they open them, they call to the
kids. Get out here.
Yeah. So it sounds like it's kind of
another. Way it's an opposite.
And they're shutting the party down.
Classic opposite I read. I read that incorrectly, so
(16:43):
that's a bummer. You you read it the way we would
like to see. It I would.
That's the New York. That's the New York you want to
see. Sauron take notes.
NY CS public pools get over 1.6 million visits every summer.
Have you ever been to a New YorkCity public pool?
I've been to New York City public beach a lot, but not a
pool. The pools are amazing.
(17:03):
They're very clean, they're verybig, they're very fun, but they
it is kind of a humbling experience.
Like and how? You can't you like they.
They strip you of everything. You can just have your bathing
suit on and your towel and if you have like a book, OK, the
rest has to go into the locker. You cannot have your phone and
they make you shower off in their cold showers before you
(17:25):
can get in the pool. And don't get me wrong, if
you're hot or you have kids likethat's it doesn't matter.
Like the fact that we have access to a pool for free is
great, but like, who is when youdon't, when you don't know that?
And you show up a little tipsy with a couple of your friends
for the pool day in Williamsburg, Like, and then
they're like, did you bring a locker and a lock?
(17:46):
And you're like, no, you're like, well, your stuff's going
to be unlocked, but please go put it over there.
You can't have more. You can't bring that drink in
like, and you're like, OK, I'm so sorry.
Can you sneak your phone in? No, it's it's why it's for
protection of the kids. Oh, so people aren't taking
pictures of the kids? Yeah, I guess I'd never really
see pictures of people at New York City public pools.
They would love to take a photo.But they're not allowed.
Wow, OK. But yeah, just when you go, be
(18:09):
prepared. Be prepared for that.
And then set your mindset like bring a book, bring a book and
just a a clear bottle of water. But it's just to be a clear
bottle. You can't bring a water bottle.
They'll make you dump in then refill it in there.
That's what I'm I'm saying like they don't, they don't advertise
this. Is what I'm saying.
(18:29):
This is what I'm saying. If you get to leave New York for
any period of time that's over amonth like in in the heat wave,
fuck you. Yeah, like listen, listen to.
What, You're not you're not a New Yorker.
Yeah, like, like literally fuck you.
If you're spending your summers elsewhere, like like, I don't
(18:50):
want to hear it. No, I don't want to hear it.
You have if you're. Stripped naked and get your ass
to the NYC public pool? I'll search.
Have the experience get search at the pool.
Wow, that. Chlorine probably just like
shreds your skin too. Yeah.
I mean, let's go, let's go. It's honestly it's I would need
to unplug, honestly. So I would love that.
(19:11):
Kind of nice, Yeah. I wish I brought a book.
I really had nothing to do when I was not in the pool.
Yeah. And I was swimming, like, alone.
No, I wanted to swim. It was kind of like.
But you won't be alone anymore, Hannah, cuz I'm gonna come.
You're gonna come, But I will read Anytime I tell Nora a plan
that like someone else didn't want to do with me, she's always
like I would have. Done.
I would do it. Last night I wanted Wolf to meet
(19:31):
me for ice cream and he didn't. And Nora was like, you
absolutely should have sent thattext to me.
I would have met you. For I would have been so ready
to do that too. It was so hot yesterday.
It's so hard to not get an ice cream cone every time I'm out.
I saw a woman walking around with an ice cream cone today,
and there's something so childish about a ice cream cone.
But it doesn't need to be that way.
(19:52):
Let's take away the stigma of anice cream cone.
An ice cream cone is for everyone.
Everyone can have it and if. You're walking in 90° weather,
you deserve it. And it's too, it's actually a
great, if you think about it, ifyou're holding your phone in one
hand or your iced coffee in one hand, then you have your ice
cream cone. You can't have a cup.
You have to have a cone you're looking at because you can't
(20:13):
scoop. Yeah, it feels like you always
have to have kind of like an Instagram moment if you have an
ice cream cone. But really, you can have a
private moment just your. Cone last night Private.
Cone Private. Cone Private.
Cone, is that what you got? We went to the.
I did take a picture. You have to take a.
Load. I didn't post it.
Wait, let me see even see if it was a good picture.
So Hannah and I actually got icecream at this place a couple
(20:34):
weeks ago and then I might. That's really nice and.
This is where I got it. Coming in and it wasn't good.
Hannah got When we went togetherfor ice cream, I got the most
beautiful swirl, rainbow sprinkles everywhere.
Hannah got this like chode of a of an ice cream.
What was the guy's name? Nick.
William. Whatever, you guess.
And he was like, Oh, my bad. And like laughing and the the
(20:56):
girl he was working with was even like, I think his name was
Nick. She was like Nick.
Oh my God. Like at the he basically like
squeezed it all down. So now it's like a wide bubble
of ice cream and then dipped at the top.
Like it was immediately on my hands.
Immediately we were flying and we all had a reaction.
I was like, that's the cone. And we were all laughing.
He didn't redo it. I had to walk on that.
(21:18):
As we've seen with our photo shoot from Oh, maybe we can drop
some of those photos for. This Oh yeah, we still.
Have we have some with and? We can drop some photos.
With the the softy guy who runs the truck in Union Square, he
does the he does the thing wherehe kind of flips the ice cream
(21:39):
up, ice cream upside down. Like Dairy Queen?
Sprinkle and he's like kind of WAVY in your face.
He kind of kind of like he. Kind of makes you beg for the
sprinkles. Beg for He's like, do you want
sprinkles? And I was like, yeah, he's like,
you really want it? I was.
Like you really want it. I was like I said, I already
said I wanted it. Now I don't want it anymore.
And then he poured them over. It's all down my shirt.
Yeah, that was really well. Speaking of ice cream trucks, I
(22:00):
got another fun fact. Buckle up.
Buckle up baby. Ice cream truck industry makes
up to 60% of its annual revenue between June and August.
Shocking. A single.
Now this is where we this is ourplanning.
A single Mr. Softy truck can pull in 1500 to $2000 a day on
peak summer days in NYC. So I wonder how they're doing
(22:22):
today. I wonder how that guy is doing
right. Now, and now this is what I'm
thinking, like if we got a truck, yes, we can now be making
sounds like $2000 a day and we can be interviewing New Yorkers
for the podcast. It can be a travelling ice cream
truck podcasting studio. I'm down.
I think there's, So I did learn that, you know, those guys that
(22:44):
sell the nuts in the park, it's like, OK, it's a great reaction
to that. I just really love the nuts.
They're like. So expired usually they smell
really good though. And I get if you're, if you're
in that place where you need thenuts, you need the nuts, you
know, they're really delicious. So to have the rent for the
(23:09):
permit on that is insane. What do you mean?
I mean, I can look it up right now.
Wait, so they pay rent on their trucks?
Yes, and it's crazy. Oh, wait, then I don't want to
do anything. Hold on my phone.
I'm just going to. I thought that we just would buy
a truck and then that would be it.
No, no. No, no, no.
It's a whole. Do you?
(23:30):
Want me to search on my phone? For those of you just listening,
no, we're fine. Nora has a situation with her
computer where the keyboard doesn't work, so she has a
separate keyboard. So now she has her computer, our
pile of wires, and her keyboard in her desk to search this
(23:50):
we're. Getting a new computer soon.
Also, Speaking of ice cream cones, I was thinking I was
making a list the other day of things that just should be free
and I think in the summer, like just a classic vanilla soft
serve that should be free. I also think your first coffee
of the day should be free. I also think sunglasses at
Target should be free of course I think.
(24:13):
All right, all right, right. On the next one I felt like
that. Was getting starting to get
good. OK.
The licensing fee is $50 waived for veterans.
OK, which is fine. OK.
So the permit can range from 4300 to $10,000?
A month. And that's for fees vary
(24:35):
depending on your scopes. Then you have another $100 to
$1000 per year for public healthand then the food sellers handle
cards are $15 per person. So the cost to total baseline
annual legal cost is anywhere from 4500 to 11,200 depending on
your permit type and scope. Why so expensive?
(24:58):
NYC limits the number of permitsavailable for two for food
trucks. Full year spots are rare.
Only short term event permits exist, hence high prices.
That's actually insane. Marketplace values for existing
permits license can soar, with hot dog carts rights reportedly
reaching hundreds of thousands. That's crazy.
Wow. Expect to pay 5 to 12 K per year
(25:22):
for legal operating permits. So we take that minus the 12.
Yeah, whatever. We're not doing it anymore.
That's OK. You know what?
I just thought, I just thought we could like buy a cheap truck
and we just own it and sell ice cream and do and just make
whatever they said. We make a summer.
(25:42):
Yeah, like 2000 a day, you know what I mean?
I mean, if we're making if look,if the heat wave continues,
right? And we're, what is it?
It's today we're releasing this episode as July.
Something, something, something.And yeah.
And, you know, I think it's likeif we're it's going to be hot
for the rest of the summer, we're looking at hot, hot, hot
(26:03):
into September. Inch of September, yeah.
That's how it depend. Like I remember, I have to keep
remembering that the last three Halloweens I've been able to
just wear like a tank top or like a short dress, like it's
still going to be warm in October.
Speaking of Halloween, what do you usually have to take on
(26:23):
Halloween? The subway and a single I.
Was really like what? That is a workaround right
there. A single subway platform can hit
up to 104° or higher the. Subway is the worst part of the
heat wave of when it's hot in New York is riding the train.
(26:46):
That's the thing. Like, I don't want you to call
yourself a New Yorker unless youhave to take the subway every
single day for a month in July. Like it's so it's like you're
hot went before you even get there and then it's hotter down
there. Now everyone's sweaty and you're
all on the train together. And if that have you ever been
(27:06):
on a car that doesn't have AC? Oh my God.
It's like not only that, it's stopped for like 20 minutes.
Send me into a pan, Ignore like people could die.
No, I and they apparently, well,we didn't want to.
They do want to share some otherfacts that we didn't We just.
Didn't realize there's a really really dark.
Side There's a dark side of the heat wave.
And I guess it's kind of a two and two together.
(27:28):
But yeah, anyways, should I share my asphalt fact?
Yeah. OK.
So also what's obviously it's hot during the day, but what
we're learning is that what alsosucks about living in cities,
what doesn't suck, but it makes it harder living in cities in
the summer, is that it's hot at night as well.
Like if it's like 80, if it's like 90 all day, it's going to
(27:51):
still be 80 at night because concrete jungle absorbing the
heat and like bouncing it back at you and that's why you're hot
all day. At night it releases the heat it
holds so the city stays hot. Like it doesn't cool down
without the sun. Now all the concrete is
releasing concrete, concrete, concrete concrete is releasing
(28:13):
the heat it held all day, which is why even even when the
sunsets, it's still just as hot as it was all day.
It is like, yeah. It's really like, it's it.
Takes something my job in the summer which adds this like
anxiety. I wish I would lose it in the
fall. No, I, I, you know, last summer
(28:35):
I lost my job and it's, it's theworst time because one, most of
your Instagram feed is everyone's doing something fun.
But now you've lost your job. You don't want to spend money,
you don't want to do anything fun.
So you're just at home, but you don't want to run the air
conditioner too much 'cause tight on money.
That was pretty much. Blasted this thing that was
pretty much asked lasted the meeting last.
(28:55):
Summer it was like sitting on mycouch wondering if I was ever
going to get another job and sitting in the heat because I
did not want to turn on my AC. Well, you know what I'm really
excited about for this summer? September 1st.
You want to know what that is? Our two year friend anniversary.
I know it was something about us.
It's really important. Two year friend anniversary.
(29:16):
Can you believe? Can you believe?
That's crazy. That's actually going to be good
because I feel like and that kind of solidifies things.
Everything's not solidified, youknow, Podcast, no.
But it's like in the beginning it was kind of like crazy.
We were doing this because we were such new friends.
But it's like now we've been doing it for two years, It's two
years, it's two years. We're in.
There's nothing crazy about anything Normal, normal.
(29:39):
Wait, does that land on a Thursday?
Because that's we're going to beNew Yorkers of the.
Week. Such shit.
What is it? It's a Monday.
Well, it's OK. We can just, it's OK, we can
make it. I think we should make that 4th.
Yeah, that's September 4th. Yeah, September 1st.
What? September 4th would be the
(29:59):
Thursday shit. Shit, yeah, I feel really wacky
right now. Really, I'm, I'm telling you,
I'm like, I think I was kind of like winding down when we took
that reset. Now I'm kind of like up, up, up.
But I think after this I'm goingto wind back down.
Wobbly, wobbly. I see you one up on that.
(30:20):
Full if I get a job. This is unrelated.
When you get a job. If then when?
Honestly, yeah. Just as a heads up, I work for a
lot of different tech startups that tend to have some issues in
the summer seems to be a frequent thing.
(30:43):
I'm not saying that was the situation.
I'm not allowed to. I'm always not allowed to speak
directly about a situation or whatever.
But let's just say it's not my fault and I just it, it would be
great if you're listening and you're like, whoa, I have this
amazing job that Nora would love.
Just let me know. I would say I'm very capable.
(31:03):
Absolutely. So organized.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. More than 70% of.
Back to business. The way I can switch topics is
crazy. That's that's.
That's on that network. That's her work ethic.
I can go boom boom. She'll chat with you, but she's
back. Back to work.
No Segway needed. More than 70% of New York City
(31:24):
rooftops are unpainted black tar, which traps heat.
Is that what you just said? This contributes to the city
being up to 7° hotter than surrounding suburbs.
Well, I thought, I thought you said they painted.
The the cool roof program, that's Hannah.
Funny you bring funny you bring that up, Hannah, because we had
the cool roof program you. Think we'd be good weather women
together? I think I would add a news
(31:46):
touch, like a little news, like a like like like you give the
weather and I'll give you why wedidn't like maybe we didn't sign
the bill that would help to dealwith climate change.
Wow, that would be kind of riff off each.
Other that would be good, and then we'd end it by telling you
what's going on in the community.
Yeah, 100%. Like what you can get involved
(32:06):
in this weekend? New York City sells over 10
million ice beverages from chainstores during July alone.
July is the hot time. July and we're in July right now
and it's, it's, there's a big difference from June, like a
really big difference. Really.
You feel that? Yeah, like, absolutely.
Because in June it felt like we had a hot week, but then it
(32:27):
broke. But like July has been like,
this is it, You're in it now, and the only way out is through.
Yeah, What do I do at the air conditioning situation?
I'm sorry, I thought it was likeraining, but I thought it was
gonna where's. It's supposed to rain every day,
which also adds something. But then it hasn't been.
(32:47):
Yeah, it was. Supposed to rain yesterday and
it rained for like a minute in the morning.
Not enough for me. New Yorkers generate 12% more
garbage during summer. That is about that is hard to
hear it's like it's hot and it'ssmelly and guess what there's
more trash the. Commentary on each of these
packs. That's a bummer to hear.
All right. And the last one, which is the
(33:11):
worst bummer. Subway cars recycle the same air
up to 18 times an hour. So.
Just the same. Air every hour.
Fills. Back in, it's just.
Filling it back in, that's. Sick.
You know what I mean? Like that's disgusting.
(33:31):
Which is crazy, like you're someone farts, you're getting
their fart. That fart.
That fart is living. Please don't fart on the train.
Fart above ground this summer. Oh my bad, my MacBook is about
to die. Really, how much time are we at?
10% and we have, I would say we have a solid like 10 minutes
(33:53):
left. You say that's all we recorded.
I was like, no, no. No, my MacBook is gonna sleep
soon and this is that's what. Does to you.
I feel tired. I'm tired, like I didn't in
theory do a lot today, but I dida lot of walking and I think
that's why I'm feeling really tired.
(34:14):
Right now, yeah, because you're you're you're dehydrated.
My circadian rhythm. It crazy how like 5 seconds ago
you were like I'm jacked. Up and look at me now.
And look at her now, she's a different lady because I think.
Feet now. I would say yeah, I dating in
New York right now is really tough because of the heat
(34:36):
because I I like to what I've started to realize that I like
to do as like a tactic for heat sweaty prevention is arrive at
the date about like 5 minutes early so I can like pat myself
off in the bathroom and then pretend I just walked in, which
is like a whole thing that you have to do.
(34:58):
It's like it's crazy. I'll.
Never forget back in my single days in Williamsburg my go to
bar, I took every man I ever met.
I took them all to Duckduck and such a good bar.
I'll never forget amazing make out there once.
The first, the first summer thatI was there is when I realized
that cannot be my bar in the summer because they have no air
conditioning And I was already hot and I showed up thinking
(35:21):
like, I'll be fine. No AC.
I'm so sweaty. He's already there.
And then we just sat in the heatand like I could my, I had
straightened my hair. I could feel it curling.
I was like very aware if I had boob sweat.
And then it was like, OK, that can't be my bar for the summer.
That's my fall winter dating barin the summer.
Like you can't go on a date and try to make a first impression.
(35:44):
It's always smell like right above your lip.
That really is the killer. For me it's the it's near my
hair. It's like when when like this is
when I used to leave my hair straight down behind my ears.
It's like every time I put my hair behind my ear, the hair is
getting more wet, like the sweatfrom my head.
So now I have like a just a textured.
It's a cute. Little look.
(36:05):
Yeah, thank God I got my keratintreatment like 75.
Months. Thank God you got your keratin.
I was just thinking that. Still kind of there.
I don't know if it's money lost or found.
I really wish I. Had gained now.
But, you know, it would be really, really nice.
Do you have a New York moment that you want to share?
(36:26):
Oh, I didn't even think about that because we have two today.
My mine is, I went downstairs totalk about the air conditioner
with my, with my landlord and he's like, Nora, you know, I'm
not the bad guy here. And I was like, look, Glen, I
know, I know, I know. You're not the bad guy.
Like I know. You're just he's a messenger.
When there's a fire, Nora, you're not going to be able to
(36:47):
find the window. It's going to be so smoky, so we
can't have an AC in there. And I was like, I know.
He cares about. You and I said, look, Glenn, I,
I actually really appreciate youand like, I do like, you know,
you, you, you care about the building, you care about the
fire. So no, no problem Glenn.
But it is. That was right, I was going to
(37:12):
say. His wife is there it's like so
obvious I don't have a job. I also, he, his wife said you
should really check out the Dyson air cooler And I was like,
no, no, no, honey, you we're in a different time and we're not.
I'm about to ask your husband here to cut me a little deal
'cause. I'm not we're not.
(37:33):
Dyson air cooler is like $700.00.
I know I told I made-up told youenough overpriced Dyson items
here. Yeah, I got to get.
Maybe I should saw it. No.
No, you love it. Keep it, keep it.
I don't know what. To do anymore, I'm going to sell
a bunch. Of stuff.
Let's sell other stuff. I have I'm making a pile over in
the corner there. I don't know if you can see it
(37:53):
from here. It's right right near my drag
back and it's just stocked with stuff I'm selling.
So if you have anything you wantto.
Maybe I have a Bose speaker too that you could add to.
That Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I know about that.
I guess I talked to my landlord too this week.
I had AI had a gas leak in my apartment.
It's so not. Chill, it's just like, not at a
(38:16):
time like this. I didn't get time like this any
other time. And it's like they still haven't
fixed it. That was on, that was on
Saturday. That was Friday night.
I realized it. I can't use my oven.
I can't use my stove like I've been.
Feel like you have a very when living in New York, it's like
you you're like dating your landlord like we are in constant
(38:37):
communication. And I really, OK, one, I really
love my apartment and I really think these are nice guys and I
do not want them to raise my rent when my lease comes back
around. And I do, I do want them to only
think positively of me because of that, that other factor of
the rent cannot go up. We need to stay where we are, if
anything lower. On the back of my rent checks,
(38:59):
when in the envelope, I always write thanks for being the best
landlord ever. Like, I love you forever.
You're the best. I'm trying to be, like, really
chill. Yeah.
And I sent them the notice from National Grid that it was a
hazardous condition. And I was like, let me know.
And they're like, we'll text Eddie right away.
Thanks so much. And I'm like, yeah, absolutely.
No worries. Thanks again for the discount on
(39:20):
the pizza on my birthday. Like, you guys are the best,
like, stuff like that. And they were like, of course,
happy birthday. But it's like, OK.
Like, I I need to, I need to usemy stove.
I need to cook, but I don't wantI, I, they're a little slow, but
I have a habit of being like, where are we?
There's an issue. Why is it taking so long to get
it solved? And that no one's communicating
(39:42):
with me. Just tell me.
I don't think that can get fixedtill Wednesday.
So I know that in my head, I'm living in the unknown about my
stove and I'm out of my like cold microwavable foods.
You know, like we've eaten all the food that can be microwaved
or just like eaten sandwiches eaten, you know what I mean?
Like wrapped stuff like that. Like it's we're down to the
stuff that needs to go in the oven on the stove.
And this is the thing. It's like if your if your mom
(40:04):
was like to stay at your apartment right now, how would
you even explain the situation? That's how I feel.
I'm like, how do I explain this to my family?
If my mom had to stay in my apartment, she'd be fine air
conditioning wise. She, she swears by a window fan.
Like she's not using AC in the summer really.
But she doesn't live in New York.
(40:24):
She doesn't have this heat wave,you know, she's like a window,
all windows open, maybe 1 fan kind of girl.
And we were really, really shamed growing up for needing
air conditioning. And now you become your mom.
Because you should see me with Wolf.
If there's even a little breeze outside and I see the AC is on,
like that's an issue, that's an issue.
(40:46):
But we all just become our parents so much how, no matter
how much we want to fight it. And the.
Heat wave. And that's our episode on the.
Heat wave, happy heat wave, everyone.
Stay cool. Stay cool out there, NYC.
Stay cool and we'll catch you tomorrow with some more updates
on the weather. Don't be all uncool.
Be cool or be cool. Imagine if someone didn't know
(41:08):
who you were quoting and they'relike Hope Nora's OK I'm.
Quoting Luann and. I'm pushing again.
All right. Love you.
Love you too. Stay cool, New York City.
Stay. Cool.
I'm gonna feel like we're on Anchorman right now.
I'm Hannah Drillander. And I'm Nora Freed.
And we'll see you tomorrow in New York and.
Stay cool in New York City. Stay cool in New York City.
Hello, New York City. It's us, New York City.
New York, NY. We've just never started like
that. I just licked.
My mic I'm Nora Freed. And I'm Anna Trillander, and
you're listening to New Yorker. Of the week, New York hunk.
(00:40):
Here's a pigeon. Here's a pigeon.
There's a pigeon. Did you see that giant pigeon
ship? Nope.
It's it's sailing in New York. I didn't read any more than the
headline, which was just that a ship shaped like a giant pigeon
has hit New York and I. Stopped.
Well, you're already talking like the weather person, am I?
Yeah. You kind of have that flare
right now. That's amazing.
(01:00):
This is actually a funny trend of mine, I guess.
I keep saying to you like I keepsaying to you like, actually, my
dream job would be and you're like, I've never heard of that
before. Like last episode I was like.
Well, that's cruise director hasalways been a dream of mine,
that which I'm actually upset about.
Why? Because you never told me.
I told you I wanted to be a bar mitzvah hype person, of course,
(01:23):
and you that's kind of like I believe I.
Feel like that probably came up naturally.
There's been no way to say actually.
If all else fails, we both should get on a ship and you
could be the hype person. I'm going to stay on land.
You want to stay on land? My people.
The bar mitzvah, my people. But you can.
But you I wanna Gerlander Stein Gerlanderheim, Gerlanderheim.
(01:49):
You you can come on over and be a do this with me.
It's it's an amazing gig. I feel like.
You would crush. Hannah I guess I just like the
cruise director thing. Just seems you know what it is.
It's something about like the cruise is a community.
So if I'm the cruise director, I'm already part of the
(02:12):
community and like a leader in the community where like being
on land, like New York is a big city, you know, how do I become
the top of the city? That's a hard task, but to
become the top of the cruise that's that's achievable.
We need to watch Triangle of Sadness after this.
Why it'll deter me or inspire me?
I think it'll inspire you. It's really funny.
It's like dark humor. My other dream job is to be a
(02:35):
weather woman. And that brings us and on that
note, and on that note, our New Yorker of the week is the heat
wave, NYCNYC heat wave. We are really, holy moly, we're
in the thick of it. It's hot.
It's like it's the, it's hot NewYork of the year.
So I was practicing before when we were talking about this like
(02:57):
how I would weather woman, but it's actually, it doesn't come
naturally. My first one was way too
serious. I was like, good evening, New
York. I'm your weather woman.
I'm your local correspondent. You're going to give us an.
Update on bad news. But Trump has an accident.
But it's just but I think I'm going to do like a mix of like
Good morning, New York. I'm Hannah Drillander.
I'm Your local weather correspondent here in Brooklyn,
NY today where it is getting hot, it's hot out there hot, hot
(03:20):
and it's not getting cooler and there's nothing we can do about
it. The damage was done before we
got an. Accent.
No, she's kind of having a strong accent.
The accent came like the I had any, I had less idea what I was
gonna say, so I was like, maybe I can jazz up what's coming.
Yeah. They say like we have a massive
(03:41):
heat wave coming in from the north.
You're gonna see it across all 5boroughs.
It's gonna hit, it's gonna hit Manhattan.
It'll come back down to Brooklyn.
This is this is another thing like they I don't.
Know if they right here right here you're gonna it's really
hot right here but there was. Some rain coming in in two weeks
if you don't mind waiting. So here's the thing, and I, I
(04:03):
promise I won't go on this for too long, but I've been having a
huge, huge issue with my air conditioner because I swear, I
swear, we're I've been living inthis building for now going on
10 years. You do the math on my age and
you do that buck of math. Don't ask us.
They just told me in the last like 5 years that I can't have
(04:26):
my air conditioner in the main space.
I have to have in the kitchen. So now I have to have the air
conditioner kitchen and I have to blow the fan out into the
main space. And I was thinking to myself
today I cause I've been having alot of conversations with my
landlord about it and just like how crazy it is and I've gotten
a ceiling fan. I have all these fans and this
whole like wind tunnel thing that's happening.
And I'm like, only in New York we don't have central AC in
(04:49):
these pre war apartments and I have this huge set up happening
that's costing me thousands in. You're spending on that you're
you have like multiple fans running and it to be has to be
on high for the air to travel through the fan and be
effective. And it's just like and and it's,
it's like lukewarm in here. I wouldn't say it's cool.
(05:10):
I would say in the living room it's like in here it's cooler.
At the front entrance door, not at all.
The AC can't reach the front. But I was thinking, I was like,
I imagine my my parents sleepinghere for the night.
It would be like them sleeping at like an Amish hotel, like I'd
have to like. This is the dark ages for.
(05:31):
Them like I'd have to coach themlike because my stepdad likes to
have the AC up really, really intensely all summer.
Like he's really big on AC and my mom's kind of flexible, but
my stepdad really like, he hatesthe heat.
And so I was just thinking like,oh, if they came here and I
wasn't here and they were staying in my apartment, I'd
have to be like, OK, so you turnon the AC and then you turn on
(05:51):
this fan and the and you. Turn on the other pound and then
you give it time. Do it an hour before you're
going to bed. There's an amazing app for the
Medea where you turn it on an hour before you get home, but
that's going to be of time because once you get home you
got to get the fan. And you need that that to get
the air, cool air. Out like what is happening?
I know it's like only it's kind of always shocking when I share
(06:15):
with friends who don't or have never lived in New York, stuff
that's going on and then I see their reaction.
I'm like, oh, like also even when I talk about when I tell my
friends from home, like about like my walk to work, like they
don't walk to work and like my 20 minute walk in 90° weather,
like is nuts. Like that's just not a way to
live. But I'm not getting on the bus.
(06:37):
It's just 1520 minutes and like I don't know, I feel like the
heat is awful at certain times but I feel like as long as I
know I'm landing at ACI can do it.
And you might be asking yourself, you guys, are you for
real? You're, you're dedicating an
episode of the weather. Are you really?
This is where you guys are going.
(06:57):
And I think what we really want to lean into here in this
episode is the culture behind NYC heat.
Yeah, because people act different and they do, they do
different things to get through the heat.
I would say most notably, like Iwas saying to you before, like
everyone's naked, everyone's naked, everyone's like literally
(07:17):
like has no clothes on outside and it's fine.
I don't even feel like I'm getting like cat called like no
one cares. It's just like what you cannot
have on a shirt, you cannot haveon long pants.
Yeah, everyone's naked. Everyone's naked.
And what were you saying? The new one.
Everyone has a portable fan thatthey bring around.
Do you take yours with you? Sometimes, yeah, but I my so I
(07:41):
have a very weak one in comparison to the ones that
people now have. There's actually one that feels
like an air conditioner. It has a titanium plate in the
middle that actually makes you feel like you're getting an AC
shoot a shot into your face. Because like everyone when, if
they have AC at their house whenthey get home, they're just
standing in front of it. Like you have to just stand in
front of it for like 2 minutes and then you're good to go.
(08:02):
I How much is that? We can it's like on TikTok shop,
it's like I think it's like 20 bucks so.
Which is the best? Yeah.
It rules, so that one is a popular one for a lot of people.
I have a kind of an off brand you want to wear.
Around your neck. It's but not.
The neck one, there's a neck onethat has a fan on each side,
(08:23):
like under your ear. Yes, yours has like a you have a
necklace and then at the end of the necklace is the fan.
Mine's giving like, like kind ofa amusement park.
I was gonna say like a. Tour like a tourist or like a
zoo watcher, a zoo watcher, likesomeone who loves the zoo.
Like wait, like they. Work at the zoo or they're.
(08:45):
They're they're the audience member.
They're coming to go check out the zoo.
Because I was like, they're gonna wear that.
That would be an amazing job. Zoo Watcher.
Zoo. Watcher.
That could be my third career. I don't know, zoos make me
really depressed really because I hate seeing all the animals
locked up and I'm like you should be free and like.
I feel that way too, but then I also I feel like in a world
where they're not going to be free.
(09:09):
In Trump's America, they're not going to be free, so we got to
put them in the zoo. Well, I, you know me, I don't
travel. So if I want to see a giraffe,
it has to be at the zoo. There you go.
And then I just think about likehow much fun kids have at the
zoo. They do have and they learn so
much I. Think aquariums are good minus
like like I don't like sea worlds, but I like, I I like
(09:30):
fish, like little fish. Just nice.
Just show. I don't like when you, I don't
know if kids are excited. About that, I don't like when
they make the animals, like perform for you, but I kind of
like when they exist there and you just get to walk around and
see them existing and they're maybe happy to see you.
Yeah, that I feel my my originaltake on it wasn't ideal.
Yeah, no, I get it. I mean, I think, you know, UPS,
(09:52):
there's ups and downs. I what I yeah, my I need to get
a new fan. Maybe once I get a job, I'll
also get the AC as a treat. As a treat.
But here's the thing, I don't it's like 10 bucks around is
good. I keep saying that about
everything, OK, Like everything.Like I'm just like, oh, well, if
(10:13):
it's $10, you know, you're not out of it.
You know, you're, you still havea little bit there, but it's
like every little thing is adding up, starting to add up.
You got to I, you know what I need to do before I start the
other account. I was actually getting eBay.
I was thinking of you did. I the eBay account.
No, I was having a job. No, I I'm going to say
something, but if you want me tocut it out for the 5th.
(10:34):
Summer, I'm in a row. But if you want me to cut it
out, you can't. I was thinking about your
current employment situation happening at the same time as
Prime weekend. Click on Amazon must suck.
It's a tough one, but no, this is, this is actually really good
for me because I I fucking hate you, Jeff Bezos.
(10:55):
And now you can protest. And now I'm and I'm really,
really trying to stick with no more prime, which is a really
hard habit for me to break. I all admit it, I love prime.
And let's admit it to everybody.Everybody.
Even if you're not talking aboutit, you're using prime.
I mean, it's hard when you live in a five floor walk up and it's
like the the toilet paper is so discounted.
(11:16):
I can get like 12 packs of like 12 packs, like packs of of nine
rolls. Yeah.
So that's like. You do that math and then I and
then I don't have to. It's a huge box.
It'll last me forever. It's so cheap and I'm just like,
but no more Jeff. Hope your wedding was fun
because you're not going to haveanother one next year because
(11:38):
I'm not supporting Prime anymore.
So take that. Easy.
So I hope this marriage works. Do you Do you want to hear some
fun facts about NYC Heat? Yes, share the coffee one first.
New Yorkers consume more iced coffee than hot coffee year
round. Oh, that, that.
Wasn't the interesting 1 You guys buckle up for these.
(12:00):
Facts, Duncan reports. My brand, That's her brand.
That's. Our brand Duncan reports that
75% of drinks sold in NYC are iced even in winter, but sales
(12:20):
peak in July and August citywide.
And Dunkin like Dunkin' Donuts. Because when it's this hot, it's
undeniable that if you want a good large iced coffee, you have
to get that cup from Dunkin. I don't know.
What you just say I was like, I knew where it.
Was I'm shaky, but you know whatI mean, that that chicken, that
(12:40):
cup is so big and have you ever gone to like it's kind?
Of watery, so it's like a little.
High. Yeah.
You don't distress. And you don't mean distress.
Like you're not. It's not like if you were to get
a Starbucks, one that size or like a blank St. you'd be
shaking on the floor. Rest in peace.
But like from Duncan, I'm like getting.
I don't know what it's meant. Like Nora fed me too quesadillas
and I'm like odd one. She's shaking like about this
(13:03):
Duncan topic. OK, wait.
We looked up a lot of we have a lot of fun facts about the heat
wave. You're not.
Going to believe it. NYC I'll I'll say the fact in
Hannah gives you a reaction to it.
NY, NYC uses over 1 billion gallons of water per day in a
heat wave. That's actually very
interesting. That's up.
From about 980 million gallons on a regular day, this is 1
(13:27):
billion gallons of water, largely due to AC, fire
hydrants, showers and dishwashing.
Can I ask how people know how toopen a fire hydrant?
They don't. The fire department goes around
and they open them. Thank you.
Yeah, because whenever I see I. I said that was such like a
certain confidence I was. Like they don't like you.
(13:49):
Like you're on the team that schedules when they open.
They don't I. Thought in some of the research
we were doing that they that wassaid.
Because I feel like whenever I see people, people like right
now in New York, like are literally like just standing
under the hydrants. Kids are playing under them.
They're like slip and sliding, whatever.
I'm always like, how do they know how to open them?
I think they just let them open,which is so that people can play
(14:11):
with them or something. That's kind of crazy.
I hope that's true. It's.
Also really wasteful, but I don't know, Hopefully there's a
mix there's. A maybe, but isn't it like you
can like break it open? You could.
We should try, we should try. Wait, That could be something.
We could film that. Well, we also don't have to try
because NYC has over 1200 spray showers and water features
(14:32):
across its parks and playgrounds.
Many are sensor activated and were upgraded in the past decade
with LED lights and motion controlled jets.
So we actually don't even have to.
Jets or something? I don't know where these are,
but they're most over 1200 of them motion controlled.
Jets sounds like a threat. I would be afraid if I didn't
(14:55):
know there was a jet and I it was motion controlled and I
walked. Quiet wait.
Did I ask you something like a little off topic, but on topic,
of course, about a pool? Yeah.
Have you ever, have you ever like masturbated in a pool like
with the jet? I'm already thinking about the.
Jet, I just remember so many times, like how many times drunk
(15:17):
Anna, like, ruined a pool party 'cause she was like, alone in
the pool with The Jets, Yeah. And on that note.
So that is what I think when I hear something like that.
That's that's a tough one. So watch out because not only
are there 1200 spray showers andI might be sitting on a couple
of them. That's what I'm saying.
Like, like I said, I'm in when we were at that open mic and I
(15:39):
was like, everyone's like party handing to come back and I was
like, I used to like masturbate in public.
Everyone's like what? No, you probably didn't.
It's like, no, I did like she can't.
She shouldn't be drunk anymore. That's a dangerous It's a tough
one I love. Drunk.
It's a tough one. That's really scary.
This is where I saw the FD. Do they confirm during do do
(16:00):
they confirm during a three day heat wave?
So I guess it's three days. New York residents open an
average of 600 fire hydrants perday.
Oh I see. So take back what I said.
New York residents will will open them 600 a day and that and
the fire department actually goes around and caps them and
(16:20):
responds to illegal openings constantly during July and
August. I was like, they love.
Opening them for the people turns.
Out that they run around, they open them, they call to the
kids. Get out here.
Yeah. So it sounds like it's kind of
another. Way it's an opposite.
And they're shutting the party down.
Classic opposite I read. I read that incorrectly, so
(16:43):
that's a bummer. You you read it the way we would
like to see. It I would.
That's the New York. That's the New York you want to
see. Sauron take notes.
NY CS public pools get over 1.6 million visits every summer.
Have you ever been to a New YorkCity public pool?
I've been to New York City public beach a lot, but not a
pool. The pools are amazing.
(17:03):
They're very clean, they're verybig, they're very fun, but they
it is kind of a humbling experience.
Like and how? You can't you like they.
They strip you of everything. You can just have your bathing
suit on and your towel and if you have like a book, OK, the
rest has to go into the locker. You cannot have your phone and
they make you shower off in their cold showers before you
(17:25):
can get in the pool. And don't get me wrong, if
you're hot or you have kids likethat's it doesn't matter.
Like the fact that we have access to a pool for free is
great, but like, who is when youdon't, when you don't know that?
And you show up a little tipsy with a couple of your friends
for the pool day in Williamsburg, Like, and then
they're like, did you bring a locker and a lock?
(17:46):
And you're like, no, you're like, well, your stuff's going
to be unlocked, but please go put it over there.
You can't have more. You can't bring that drink in
like, and you're like, OK, I'm so sorry.
Can you sneak your phone in? No, it's it's why it's for
protection of the kids. Oh, so people aren't taking
pictures of the kids? Yeah, I guess I'd never really
see pictures of people at New York City public pools.
They would love to take a photo.But they're not allowed.
Wow, OK. But yeah, just when you go, be
(18:09):
prepared. Be prepared for that.
And then set your mindset like bring a book, bring a book and
just a a clear bottle of water. But it's just to be a clear
bottle. You can't bring a water bottle.
They'll make you dump in then refill it in there.
That's what I'm I'm saying like they don't, they don't advertise
this. Is what I'm saying.
(18:29):
This is what I'm saying. If you get to leave New York for
any period of time that's over amonth like in in the heat wave,
fuck you. Yeah, like listen, listen to.
What, You're not you're not a New Yorker.
Yeah, like, like literally fuck you.
If you're spending your summers elsewhere, like like, I don't
(18:50):
want to hear it. No, I don't want to hear it.
You have if you're. Stripped naked and get your ass
to the NYC public pool? I'll search.
Have the experience get search at the pool.
Wow, that. Chlorine probably just like
shreds your skin too. Yeah.
I mean, let's go, let's go. It's honestly it's I would need
to unplug, honestly. So I would love that.
(19:11):
Kind of nice, Yeah. I wish I brought a book.
I really had nothing to do when I was not in the pool.
Yeah. And I was swimming, like, alone.
No, I wanted to swim. It was kind of like.
But you won't be alone anymore, Hannah, cuz I'm gonna come.
You're gonna come, But I will read Anytime I tell Nora a plan
that like someone else didn't want to do with me, she's always
like I would have. Done.
I would do it. Last night I wanted Wolf to meet
(19:31):
me for ice cream and he didn't. And Nora was like, you
absolutely should have sent thattext to me.
I would have met you. For I would have been so ready
to do that too. It was so hot yesterday.
It's so hard to not get an ice cream cone every time I'm out.
I saw a woman walking around with an ice cream cone today,
and there's something so childish about a ice cream cone.
But it doesn't need to be that way.
(19:52):
Let's take away the stigma of anice cream cone.
An ice cream cone is for everyone.
Everyone can have it and if. You're walking in 90° weather,
you deserve it. And it's too, it's actually a
great, if you think about it, ifyou're holding your phone in one
hand or your iced coffee in one hand, then you have your ice
cream cone. You can't have a cup.
You have to have a cone you're looking at because you can't
(20:13):
scoop. Yeah, it feels like you always
have to have kind of like an Instagram moment if you have an
ice cream cone. But really, you can have a
private moment just your. Cone last night Private.
Cone Private. Cone Private.
Cone, is that what you got? We went to the.
I did take a picture. You have to take a.
Load. I didn't post it.
Wait, let me see even see if it was a good picture.
So Hannah and I actually got icecream at this place a couple
(20:34):
weeks ago and then I might. That's really nice and.
This is where I got it. Coming in and it wasn't good.
Hannah got When we went togetherfor ice cream, I got the most
beautiful swirl, rainbow sprinkles everywhere.
Hannah got this like chode of a of an ice cream.
What was the guy's name? Nick.
William. Whatever, you guess.
And he was like, Oh, my bad. And like laughing and the the
(20:56):
girl he was working with was even like, I think his name was
Nick. She was like Nick.
Oh my God. Like at the he basically like
squeezed it all down. So now it's like a wide bubble
of ice cream and then dipped at the top.
Like it was immediately on my hands.
Immediately we were flying and we all had a reaction.
I was like, that's the cone. And we were all laughing.
He didn't redo it. I had to walk on that.
(21:18):
As we've seen with our photo shoot from Oh, maybe we can drop
some of those photos for. This Oh yeah, we still.
Have we have some with and? We can drop some photos.
With the the softy guy who runs the truck in Union Square, he
does the he does the thing wherehe kind of flips the ice cream
(21:39):
up, ice cream upside down. Like Dairy Queen?
Sprinkle and he's like kind of WAVY in your face.
He kind of kind of like he. Kind of makes you beg for the
sprinkles. Beg for He's like, do you want
sprinkles? And I was like, yeah, he's like,
you really want it? I was.
Like you really want it. I was like I said, I already
said I wanted it. Now I don't want it anymore.
And then he poured them over. It's all down my shirt.
Yeah, that was really well. Speaking of ice cream trucks, I
(22:00):
got another fun fact. Buckle up.
Buckle up baby. Ice cream truck industry makes
up to 60% of its annual revenue between June and August.
Shocking. A single.
Now this is where we this is ourplanning.
A single Mr. Softy truck can pull in 1500 to $2000 a day on
peak summer days in NYC. So I wonder how they're doing
(22:22):
today. I wonder how that guy is doing
right. Now, and now this is what I'm
thinking, like if we got a truck, yes, we can now be making
sounds like $2000 a day and we can be interviewing New Yorkers
for the podcast. It can be a travelling ice cream
truck podcasting studio. I'm down.
I think there's, So I did learn that, you know, those guys that
(22:44):
sell the nuts in the park, it's like, OK, it's a great reaction
to that. I just really love the nuts.
They're like. So expired usually they smell
really good though. And I get if you're, if you're
in that place where you need thenuts, you need the nuts, you
know, they're really delicious. So to have the rent for the
(23:09):
permit on that is insane. What do you mean?
I mean, I can look it up right now.
Wait, so they pay rent on their trucks?
Yes, and it's crazy. Oh, wait, then I don't want to
do anything. Hold on my phone.
I'm just going to. I thought that we just would buy
a truck and then that would be it.
No, no. No, no, no.
It's a whole. Do you?
(23:30):
Want me to search on my phone? For those of you just listening,
no, we're fine. Nora has a situation with her
computer where the keyboard doesn't work, so she has a
separate keyboard. So now she has her computer, our
pile of wires, and her keyboard in her desk to search this
(23:50):
we're. Getting a new computer soon.
Also, Speaking of ice cream cones, I was thinking I was
making a list the other day of things that just should be free
and I think in the summer, like just a classic vanilla soft
serve that should be free. I also think your first coffee
of the day should be free. I also think sunglasses at
Target should be free of course I think.
(24:13):
All right, all right, right. On the next one I felt like
that. Was getting starting to get
good. OK.
The licensing fee is $50 waived for veterans.
OK, which is fine. OK.
So the permit can range from 4300 to $10,000?
A month. And that's for fees vary
(24:35):
depending on your scopes. Then you have another $100 to
$1000 per year for public healthand then the food sellers handle
cards are $15 per person. So the cost to total baseline
annual legal cost is anywhere from 4500 to 11,200 depending on
your permit type and scope. Why so expensive?
(24:58):
NYC limits the number of permitsavailable for two for food
trucks. Full year spots are rare.
Only short term event permits exist, hence high prices.
That's actually insane. Marketplace values for existing
permits license can soar, with hot dog carts rights reportedly
reaching hundreds of thousands. That's crazy.
Wow. Expect to pay 5 to 12 K per year
(25:22):
for legal operating permits. So we take that minus the 12.
Yeah, whatever. We're not doing it anymore.
That's OK. You know what?
I just thought, I just thought we could like buy a cheap truck
and we just own it and sell ice cream and do and just make
whatever they said. We make a summer.
(25:42):
Yeah, like 2000 a day, you know what I mean?
I mean, if we're making if look,if the heat wave continues,
right? And we're, what is it?
It's today we're releasing this episode as July.
Something, something, something.And yeah.
And, you know, I think it's likeif we're it's going to be hot
for the rest of the summer, we're looking at hot, hot, hot
(26:03):
into September. Inch of September, yeah.
That's how it depend. Like I remember, I have to keep
remembering that the last three Halloweens I've been able to
just wear like a tank top or like a short dress, like it's
still going to be warm in October.
Speaking of Halloween, what do you usually have to take on
(26:23):
Halloween? The subway and a single I.
Was really like what? That is a workaround right
there. A single subway platform can hit
up to 104° or higher the. Subway is the worst part of the
heat wave of when it's hot in New York is riding the train.
(26:46):
That's the thing. Like, I don't want you to call
yourself a New Yorker unless youhave to take the subway every
single day for a month in July. Like it's so it's like you're
hot went before you even get there and then it's hotter down
there. Now everyone's sweaty and you're
all on the train together. And if that have you ever been
(27:06):
on a car that doesn't have AC? Oh my God.
It's like not only that, it's stopped for like 20 minutes.
Send me into a pan, Ignore like people could die.
No, I and they apparently, well,we didn't want to.
They do want to share some otherfacts that we didn't We just.
Didn't realize there's a really really dark.
Side There's a dark side of the heat wave.
And I guess it's kind of a two and two together.
(27:28):
But yeah, anyways, should I share my asphalt fact?
Yeah. OK.
So also what's obviously it's hot during the day, but what
we're learning is that what alsosucks about living in cities,
what doesn't suck, but it makes it harder living in cities in
the summer, is that it's hot at night as well.
Like if it's like 80, if it's like 90 all day, it's going to
(27:51):
still be 80 at night because concrete jungle absorbing the
heat and like bouncing it back at you and that's why you're hot
all day. At night it releases the heat it
holds so the city stays hot. Like it doesn't cool down
without the sun. Now all the concrete is
releasing concrete, concrete, concrete concrete is releasing
(28:13):
the heat it held all day, which is why even even when the
sunsets, it's still just as hot as it was all day.
It is like, yeah. It's really like, it's it.
Takes something my job in the summer which adds this like
anxiety. I wish I would lose it in the
fall. No, I, I, you know, last summer
(28:35):
I lost my job and it's, it's theworst time because one, most of
your Instagram feed is everyone's doing something fun.
But now you've lost your job. You don't want to spend money,
you don't want to do anything fun.
So you're just at home, but you don't want to run the air
conditioner too much 'cause tight on money.
That was pretty much. Blasted this thing that was
pretty much asked lasted the meeting last.
(28:55):
Summer it was like sitting on mycouch wondering if I was ever
going to get another job and sitting in the heat because I
did not want to turn on my AC. Well, you know what I'm really
excited about for this summer? September 1st.
You want to know what that is? Our two year friend anniversary.
I know it was something about us.
It's really important. Two year friend anniversary.
(29:16):
Can you believe? Can you believe?
That's crazy. That's actually going to be good
because I feel like and that kind of solidifies things.
Everything's not solidified, youknow, Podcast, no.
But it's like in the beginning it was kind of like crazy.
We were doing this because we were such new friends.
But it's like now we've been doing it for two years, It's two
years, it's two years. We're in.
There's nothing crazy about anything Normal, normal.
(29:39):
Wait, does that land on a Thursday?
Because that's we're going to beNew Yorkers of the.
Week. Such shit.
What is it? It's a Monday.
Well, it's OK. We can just, it's OK, we can
make it. I think we should make that 4th.
Yeah, that's September 4th. Yeah, September 1st.
What? September 4th would be the
(29:59):
Thursday shit. Shit, yeah, I feel really wacky
right now. Really, I'm, I'm telling you,
I'm like, I think I was kind of like winding down when we took
that reset. Now I'm kind of like up, up, up.
But I think after this I'm goingto wind back down.
Wobbly, wobbly. I see you one up on that.
(30:20):
Full if I get a job. This is unrelated.
When you get a job. If then when?
Honestly, yeah. Just as a heads up, I work for a
lot of different tech startups that tend to have some issues in
the summer seems to be a frequent thing.
(30:43):
I'm not saying that was the situation.
I'm not allowed to. I'm always not allowed to speak
directly about a situation or whatever.
But let's just say it's not my fault and I just it, it would be
great if you're listening and you're like, whoa, I have this
amazing job that Nora would love.
Just let me know. I would say I'm very capable.
(31:03):
Absolutely. So organized.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. More than 70% of.
Back to business. The way I can switch topics is
crazy. That's that's.
That's on that network. That's her work ethic.
I can go boom boom. She'll chat with you, but she's
back. Back to work.
No Segway needed. More than 70% of New York City
(31:24):
rooftops are unpainted black tar, which traps heat.
Is that what you just said? This contributes to the city
being up to 7° hotter than surrounding suburbs.
Well, I thought, I thought you said they painted.
The the cool roof program, that's Hannah.
Funny you bring funny you bring that up, Hannah, because we had
the cool roof program you. Think we'd be good weather women
together? I think I would add a news
(31:46):
touch, like a little news, like a like like like you give the
weather and I'll give you why wedidn't like maybe we didn't sign
the bill that would help to dealwith climate change.
Wow, that would be kind of riff off each.
Other that would be good, and then we'd end it by telling you
what's going on in the community.
Yeah, 100%. Like what you can get involved
(32:06):
in this weekend? New York City sells over 10
million ice beverages from chainstores during July alone.
July is the hot time. July and we're in July right now
and it's, it's, there's a big difference from June, like a
really big difference. Really.
You feel that? Yeah, like, absolutely.
Because in June it felt like we had a hot week, but then it
(32:27):
broke. But like July has been like,
this is it, You're in it now, and the only way out is through.
Yeah, What do I do at the air conditioning situation?
I'm sorry, I thought it was likeraining, but I thought it was
gonna where's. It's supposed to rain every day,
which also adds something. But then it hasn't been.
(32:47):
Yeah, it was. Supposed to rain yesterday and
it rained for like a minute in the morning.
Not enough for me. New Yorkers generate 12% more
garbage during summer. That is about that is hard to
hear it's like it's hot and it'ssmelly and guess what there's
more trash the. Commentary on each of these
packs. That's a bummer to hear.
All right. And the last one, which is the
(33:11):
worst bummer. Subway cars recycle the same air
up to 18 times an hour. So.
Just the same. Air every hour.
Fills. Back in, it's just.
Filling it back in, that's. Sick.
You know what I mean? Like that's disgusting.
(33:31):
Which is crazy, like you're someone farts, you're getting
their fart. That fart.
That fart is living. Please don't fart on the train.
Fart above ground this summer. Oh my bad, my MacBook is about
to die. Really, how much time are we at?
10% and we have, I would say we have a solid like 10 minutes
(33:53):
left. You say that's all we recorded.
I was like, no, no. No, my MacBook is gonna sleep
soon and this is that's what. Does to you.
I feel tired. I'm tired, like I didn't in
theory do a lot today, but I dida lot of walking and I think
that's why I'm feeling really tired.
(34:14):
Right now, yeah, because you're you're you're dehydrated.
My circadian rhythm. It crazy how like 5 seconds ago
you were like I'm jacked. Up and look at me now.
And look at her now, she's a different lady because I think.
Feet now. I would say yeah, I dating in
New York right now is really tough because of the heat
(34:36):
because I I like to what I've started to realize that I like
to do as like a tactic for heat sweaty prevention is arrive at
the date about like 5 minutes early so I can like pat myself
off in the bathroom and then pretend I just walked in, which
is like a whole thing that you have to do.
(34:58):
It's like it's crazy. I'll.
Never forget back in my single days in Williamsburg my go to
bar, I took every man I ever met.
I took them all to Duckduck and such a good bar.
I'll never forget amazing make out there once.
The first, the first summer thatI was there is when I realized
that cannot be my bar in the summer because they have no air
conditioning And I was already hot and I showed up thinking
(35:21):
like, I'll be fine. No AC.
I'm so sweaty. He's already there.
And then we just sat in the heatand like I could my, I had
straightened my hair. I could feel it curling.
I was like very aware if I had boob sweat.
And then it was like, OK, that can't be my bar for the summer.
That's my fall winter dating barin the summer.
Like you can't go on a date and try to make a first impression.
(35:44):
It's always smell like right above your lip.
That really is the killer. For me it's the it's near my
hair. It's like when when like this is
when I used to leave my hair straight down behind my ears.
It's like every time I put my hair behind my ear, the hair is
getting more wet, like the sweatfrom my head.
So now I have like a just a textured.
It's a cute. Little look.
(36:05):
Yeah, thank God I got my keratintreatment like 75.
Months. Thank God you got your keratin.
I was just thinking that. Still kind of there.
I don't know if it's money lost or found.
I really wish I. Had gained now.
But, you know, it would be really, really nice.
Do you have a New York moment that you want to share?
(36:26):
Oh, I didn't even think about that because we have two today.
My mine is, I went downstairs totalk about the air conditioner
with my, with my landlord and he's like, Nora, you know, I'm
not the bad guy here. And I was like, look, Glen, I
know, I know, I know. You're not the bad guy.
Like I know. You're just he's a messenger.
When there's a fire, Nora, you're not going to be able to
(36:47):
find the window. It's going to be so smoky, so we
can't have an AC in there. And I was like, I know.
He cares about. You and I said, look, Glenn, I,
I actually really appreciate youand like, I do like, you know,
you, you, you care about the building, you care about the
fire. So no, no problem Glenn.
But it is. That was right, I was going to
(37:12):
say. His wife is there it's like so
obvious I don't have a job. I also, he, his wife said you
should really check out the Dyson air cooler And I was like,
no, no, no, honey, you we're in a different time and we're not.
I'm about to ask your husband here to cut me a little deal
'cause. I'm not we're not.
(37:33):
Dyson air cooler is like $700.00.
I know I told I made-up told youenough overpriced Dyson items
here. Yeah, I got to get.
Maybe I should saw it. No.
No, you love it. Keep it, keep it.
I don't know what. To do anymore, I'm going to sell
a bunch. Of stuff.
Let's sell other stuff. I have I'm making a pile over in
the corner there. I don't know if you can see it
(37:53):
from here. It's right right near my drag
back and it's just stocked with stuff I'm selling.
So if you have anything you wantto.
Maybe I have a Bose speaker too that you could add to.
That Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I know about that.
I guess I talked to my landlord too this week.
I had AI had a gas leak in my apartment.
It's so not. Chill, it's just like, not at a
(38:16):
time like this. I didn't get time like this any
other time. And it's like they still haven't
fixed it. That was on, that was on
Saturday. That was Friday night.
I realized it. I can't use my oven.
I can't use my stove like I've been.
Feel like you have a very when living in New York, it's like
you you're like dating your landlord like we are in constant
(38:37):
communication. And I really, OK, one, I really
love my apartment and I really think these are nice guys and I
do not want them to raise my rent when my lease comes back
around. And I do, I do want them to only
think positively of me because of that, that other factor of
the rent cannot go up. We need to stay where we are, if
anything lower. On the back of my rent checks,
(38:59):
when in the envelope, I always write thanks for being the best
landlord ever. Like, I love you forever.
You're the best. I'm trying to be, like, really
chill. Yeah.
And I sent them the notice from National Grid that it was a
hazardous condition. And I was like, let me know.
And they're like, we'll text Eddie right away.
Thanks so much. And I'm like, yeah, absolutely.
No worries. Thanks again for the discount on
(39:20):
the pizza on my birthday. Like, you guys are the best,
like, stuff like that. And they were like, of course,
happy birthday. But it's like, OK.
Like, I I need to, I need to usemy stove.
I need to cook, but I don't wantI, I, they're a little slow, but
I have a habit of being like, where are we?
There's an issue. Why is it taking so long to get
it solved? And that no one's communicating
(39:42):
with me. Just tell me.
I don't think that can get fixedtill Wednesday.
So I know that in my head, I'm living in the unknown about my
stove and I'm out of my like cold microwavable foods.
You know, like we've eaten all the food that can be microwaved
or just like eaten sandwiches eaten, you know what I mean?
Like wrapped stuff like that. Like it's we're down to the
stuff that needs to go in the oven on the stove.
And this is the thing. It's like if your if your mom
(40:04):
was like to stay at your apartment right now, how would
you even explain the situation? That's how I feel.
I'm like, how do I explain this to my family?
If my mom had to stay in my apartment, she'd be fine air
conditioning wise. She, she swears by a window fan.
Like she's not using AC in the summer really.
But she doesn't live in New York.
(40:24):
She doesn't have this heat wave,you know, she's like a window,
all windows open, maybe 1 fan kind of girl.
And we were really, really shamed growing up for needing
air conditioning. And now you become your mom.
Because you should see me with Wolf.
If there's even a little breeze outside and I see the AC is on,
like that's an issue, that's an issue.
(40:46):
But we all just become our parents so much how, no matter
how much we want to fight it. And the.
Heat wave. And that's our episode on the.
Heat wave, happy heat wave, everyone.
Stay cool. Stay cool out there, NYC.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
