910. - Leonard Baby

Speaker A: All right, uh, this episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Stateside with Kai and Carter, a new podcast from The Guardian. And they are using this podcast to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions that we all have about what's happening in the world. And they do it 3 times a week.

Speaker A: I think it's more of a quick and easy test of a mayor's capabilities, I guess, to clean up the snow. And therefore, which is sort of, I mean, sure, I'm sure it always was that way, but because Zoran is so young and plugged in and wearing his custom Carhartt jacket and hiring freelance creative snow movers, I think maybe it's a little bit, I think he's taken it to task because he, he might look at it as an easy W.
