 Yes, we are here and, you know, it's always great catching up with fam coos. It has been too long. Good friend, outstanding analyst for the next one. Yes, sir, coos doc. How you doing, my friend? Seeing your face just brightens my day. I've been keeping up up to date with our group messages and chatting and what not. But it's awesome to see you. It really brings- Yes, well, let's go back a little bit. You and I both are tied to the Midwest before making the move to New York. Take us back. What was that transition like for you, a Chicago kid, coming to NY? The short story and long story. I don't think it's great. What would stand out most? I had to work in through whether it was basketball or whatever. And I spent plenty of time in New York. And it was well-versed in what to expect out of New York City, which was a huge part of my excitement to get out here. But in the time of actually moving to New York, I had a dear friend who lived out here who had a friend who was buying a place that it was somewhere in the village that I could rent. And he's like, got you covered, got you covered, rent it for him. He's closed on it. You're all good. Don't even worry about that. So one of the toughest things is, you know, moving to New York. And especially not entirely having a good feel for geographics was finding an apartment. So I was like, oh my god, like the toughest part of what I need to do. I got out of the way, hadn't even thought about that. So you're figuring out all the other logistics. Well, as like the days were approaching, this apartment closing continued to get pushed back. He's like, you're good, you're good. You know what, just ship your boxes, like whatever you're going to bring to my office. You can keep them there and then just come with your suitcases. So long story short, two of my best girls and me, I have two suitcases, flew out to New York, had shipped some other boxes the rest of myself. I'm pretty light in terms of things I keep. I like to keep things simple. But so staying in the hotel that weekend, the apartment closing kept getting pushed back. And so I then ended up saying a friend of friends couch who was here for about the first two weeks and getting ready for work. It was the third floor of a walk up. There was no air conditioning. It was about off. As you can imagine, my hair was out of control. Everything I was like, what is going on? I was living out of a suitcase of clothes that were now being reused. And I wasn't sure if I was going to make it or how much I was going to work. So finally, I found an apartment over on the Upper East Side, it was priceless. I think it was really random. But it all ended up working out. The point being my first couple of weeks here were definitely a little bit of a ruin awakening of just getting myself settled, getting all my belongings, getting all my things. But from the moment I got here, this city has just got so much energy, so much passion for sports that I've been in love with it, fell in love with it, and it just really is such a truly special place. Yeah, you know, my story is kind of similar. You know, I've always even grown up kind of vibed with New York, whether it was the music scene as I got older, the fashion scene, the passion from the sports fans as you just brought up. When I moved though, my window was really tight and somebody mentioned that they had just built apartments above Barclay Center. So I was thinking about the whole geography thing, too. I thought, oh, that just makes a whole lot of sense. I can just take an elevator down for home games. And so that was my first place in NY and it worked out perfectly. But as you mentioned, people either vibe with New York or they don't. You know, I've had people visit me who they had to be dragged to the plane to go home, they didn't want to leave. And I have others who couldn't wait to go back home. Like, they just, the pace of it, the hustle and bustle, that whole thing, they just didn't necessarily vibe with. And I had known for a long time that this was a place that I wanted to, that I wanted to, you know, end up, if I was going to end up anywhere, that New York would probably be that place. The one transition that I had, because everything happened so fast, and this was not only in New York, but when traveling on the road, was the food, Sarah. Like, pacing myself with food. So many amazing restaurants, so many places to go. And you know how they say freshmen 15? My friend first year in New York, it was a freshman something. And just so many great food spots in New York and so many places to go, even when we're traveling on the road. Yeah, it's unbelievable. And the crazy thing too, which I've learned, and I've now, in our quarantine, being back inside so much in Chicago, in Chicago has the greatest of restaurants. I'm not going to start comparing cities. Can I get in trouble with people from all sides? But in Chicago, where I lived and home and just, it was much more normal, I would say, just to have, like me and my friends would have like family dinner every Sunday, someone who could cook differently. So we were, I was cooking way more, even on a regular basis when I lived in Chicago and then coming here and for no reason other than maybe just in a different place, to your point, eating out the concept of delivery, delivery, all hours, the ease of being able to walk out your door and you have everything at your fingertips. That's what during this quarantine time, and you know we're on the road so much for traveling throughout the course of the season or even in the summer, when it were bouncing around. This has brought me back to my roots of how much I love to cook. So this has been a nice reminder of some of the dishes and some of the things and some of the ways you cook. But I see, great, your Instagram stories are like top notch for me. I'm checking all day, every day, because it brings such big smiles to my face. You and Erica and the guys are cooking. What has been, for you guys in terms of eating at home now, what's been your thing? Have you been ordering in, delivery, cooking? What's the plan? We've been cooking. So my thing is I'm more of the breakfast person and she's more of the dinner person. We'll mix it up from time to time, but we've kind of gone with themes. And she loves themes. And okay, so this past Sunday we're going to have this big brunch as if we're out somewhere. So we've got the mimosas flowing, that whole thing. And just giving it that vibe as if we're out somewhere, having this big brunch in the morning. And so the plate was overflowing, she threw down. And so we just have different themes for different nights as if we're eating out at this particular nice restaurant. So she's real modest, but she really throws down. And just giving that mindset as if we're still out and doing things, whether it's pretending we're out dancing and listening to music or whatever it may be, or at a nice restaurant and having a glass of wine or whatever it may be. So we've definitely tried different things to entertain ourselves, to laugh, which is really important, especially during this time. And just trying to find, and then finding different things to do to enrich our minds because Sarah, we're never going to get this time back. Like we're never, you know, once things start up again, you know, it's go, go, go, go, go. So this is kind of a time to try things that we've never tried before or do things that were on our plate that we never really had an opportunity to do. Yeah, I think it's just such, it's such a sensitive time. And this pandemic is impacting and affecting everyone in such a variety of ways. And it's overwhelming in all different areas and in a seriousness of it, the spirit of it needs to be obviously the forefront at all times. We appreciate those two are dealing with different ways. But your point is just the concept of like the idea that I can wake up in the morning and just sit and read a book and not be like, okay, what time do I need to get to the next thing? So how do I cook an elaborate meal? It's going to take way too long and take hours. You could do it. The appreciation I have just for so many of my friends, it's funny we laugh because we're scattered all over the country, somewhere over in Europe. This is regular. And we're like, why haven't we been zooming or face? Like, why haven't we been connected the same way all the time? And just, you know, all these different areas and to put, whether it's people are into writing or to reading or creatively or arts or it really is one of those situations where it's like, this is an opportunity to resettle a little bit, take a breath, dig into the things that maybe don't always have time for with the hectic schedule we have. And that's the one thing I've been trying to make sure to appreciate. We're up against it, but I'm going to finish where we started. Now that we've made the transition, you're in New Yorker now, what do you love most about New York? The feel in the energy, I get it. And there's not one thing, there's not one place, been here now for eight years or more around there, walking out my door and knowing that I could walk for an hour, walk for 20 minutes, different spots and just the energy, the vibe and really just the diversity. No matter where you can find anything you want and you see the eclectic nature of whether it's for people, whether it's what you're doing, whether it's the music, the food, all of it, you can find anything you want in the mixture and the diversity and melting pot of all of it. I think it's just an absolutely beautiful thing that I can't get enough of. You know, it's fun. Can I give a better answer than that? That's literally my answer is the energy, the diversity, the fact that you can experience things with so many different people and different walks of life, whatever it may be. And there's certainly an energy and enthusiasm about this place, the hustle and bustle that's just like unlike anywhere else. So no, I love it and miss it and just encouraging everybody and encouraging everybody again, stay safe, stay home and we're going to get through this thing and we can't wait to get back to the action, get back with you and to continue to have fun. In the meantime, stay safe and we'll be chatting with you soon.
