Your Summer Bucket List

**Brian Lehrer** (0:08)
Brian Lehrer on WNYC, and we're going to end today with a call-in to share your summer bucket lists, 212-433-WNYC-433-9692.
Summer isn't over yet, but it is August. It's, you know, the end is in sight time, especially for those who are going back to school. So we want to hear what's on your summer bucket list still, 212-433-WNYC. Call right up, you'll get right on pretty quickly. We just have 10 minutes to have a little fun with this at the end of the show. What haven't you done yet this summer that you really want to do? That's the bucket list question. What haven't you done yet this summer that you really want to do? And by listing it, you know, why do we do these kinds of call-ins partly? Because you're going to give some other people who maybe don't have as much on their calendars some ideas of cool stuff to do. But for you, what haven't you done yet this summer that you really want to do? 212-433-WNYC, 212-433-9692.
Is there an event series you want to check out? Maybe a bike ride you've been meaning to plan or a park barbecue proposal that just hasn't caught on in the group chat yet. Give us a call or a text, 212-433-WNYC, with your remaining summer bucket list items, or at least one, 212-433-9692.
Maybe it's a personal project. Do you have a recipe you've wanted to try out, a gardening project to take on? I guess you can still plan things on August 6th. A book you've been meaning to read? Tell us about your best laid plans for the summer that haven't come about. I was going to go bike riding on more days than I did in the Hudson Valley when I was away because it rained for half the time. Or what's one thing that you have done this summer or in a previous summer that you would recommend that other people try to do before the summer ends? Give us a call with your summer bucket list plans or what should be on somebody else's summer bucket list. 212-433-WNYC, 212-433-9692.
Are you meaning to see The Odyssey? That's what I did when my bike ride got rained out that past three hours. Or if you win the Parks Department Lottery, you could win a guided camping trip under the stars in Central Park for the whole family. Did you know that? Want to enjoy some free theater? Shakespeare and the Park. They've got The Winter's Tale most this month. If you don't mind lining up for tickets. Have you made it to the beach or a pool yet this summer? Is one of those on your bucket list? 212-433-WNYC, 212-433-9692, call or text. Maybe you just keep meaning to take a summer Friday off from work because your company allows a few of those, and there are only a few left and you haven't taken advantage yet. What's still on your summer bucket list or what would you recommend that others put on theirs if they're looking for things to do? 212-433-WNYC, call or text. We'll hear what you got after this.
Brian Lehrer on WNYC. By the way, we say goodbye today to our summer intern, Marianna Schultz from the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, who did a great job these few months generating ideas for segments, writing for segments, being a general good ag, and Marianna, I hope you learned a lot. Good luck as you go back to school. Now to your summer bucket list items. Mike and Union, you're on WNYC. Hi, Mike.

Hey.
My summer bucket list, it's something I do every summer, but I haven't been able to really get around to it this year, is go run around buck naked on Gunnison Beach at Sandy Hook. It's an amazing beach, but it's a hike. And there's really no other place like it in New Jersey. It's got an amazing view of the city. If you're there at around sunset, you see the moon coming up, the sun going down, the lights coming on, on the Verrazano Bridge. There's the lighthouse in the background. I've seen porpoises, I found starfish. It's amazing.

**Brian Lehrer** (4:44)
It's a great spot. I love that view of the city from there. But is it a nude beach per se, a stretch of nude beach that you're referring to?

**Mike** (4:53)
Yeah. It's the only nude beach in New Jersey, and one of the only ones on the East Coast really.

**Brian Lehrer** (5:00)
Thank you, Mike. Hope you get there. Jack in the East Village, you're on WNYC. Hi Jack.

Hello. I have not been to an evening non-professional baseball game.
