Regarding NY1

Apologies to my readers who live outside NYC

Curly: I think NY1 thinks I live in Queens. Unless everyone is subject to special Queens news segments. I get them regularly now. I don't give a shit what goes on in Queens.

Me: NY1 has a huge boner for Queens.

Curly: Hands down, that's the funniest sentence I'm going to encounter all day. Well done.

Me: Sweet.

Curly: I feel like NY1 is on a quest to alienate me. First with the relentless Uncle Junior promos and now this. Next up, they'll increase Shelly Goldberg's segments. She'll anchor the news.

Me: I just shuddered at the thought.

Curly: I wonder if other cities' local news stations elicit such a response from residents. We're pretty hardcore about NY1 personalities. A mere mention of the channel and people will rattle off whom they love and loathe.

Me: Like Debbie Duhaime. God, I hate her.

Curly: I have no opinion of her but whenever she's on, I think "If Jess is watching right now, she's fuming." And I'm mindful not to abbreviate major roadways in your presence, like the Hutch. Or the Belt.

Me: The Hutch is okay, actually. When I lived in Westchester, I called it that.

Curly: Oh, it's the George that sends you into a rage, yes?

Me: Yes. And the Jackie.

Curly: She probably says Avenue of the Americas too.

Me: SHE TOTALLY DOES.
