I've obviously used the office in New York, but whenever I'm on the road, I make sure to look up if there's an Industrious there. So I've used it in DC, I've used it in Indianapolis. It is a great co-working space, and we have a special deal for all of you.

And we read all the news and read between the lines so you don't have to. Something fun to start us off today. Fat Bear Week kicks off today.

16 brown bears in one of Alaska's national parks competing in a March Badness style bracket to be crowned fattest bear. And you can partake, all of you.

That's right, people from around the world could vote on before and after photos of the bears who pack on the pounds ahead of winter hibernation. Voting runs through the 29th.

Last year's champ was Chonk, naturally. He's 1200 pounds. He took home the win despite having a broken jaw, we're told. He's back again this year. People last year cast more than 1.7 million votes in more than 100 countries. According to the park, we'll have a post on our Instagram later today to allow you to scroll through all your various options.

But if you're curious as to where you can vote on this, naturally, they have a website, fatbearweek.org. So go check it out over at fatbearweek.org. But if you want some background, you can wait for our Instagram post today to do your research before you make the vote.

The decision by the president last week started to have some real-world effect on Monday. As CNN was set to be the pool provider. We'll explain later in the podcast what that meant. But effectively, it meant much more limited video coverage and live coverage of the president on all networks yesterday, just as the president is in New York City for the UN General Assembly, having a whole bunch of meetings.
