Description
To live in New York City is to hold a ringside seat at a human circus starring junkie soccer coaches, bankers brawling over nursery school slots, and the occasional subway harpist.
Every week, Phil & Bob — college friends and O.G. New Yorkers — talk about life in the Big City. They also discuss other stuff, too, like get-rich-quick schemes, Jewish true crime tales, and psychoanalytical malpractice.
