   New Yorker of the Week: The Final Episode (For Now)

   It’s our last New Yorker of the Week episode. For now. We know. We’re emotional too. After many long voice memos, Google Docs, budget spreadsheets in a notes app, and one dramatic “are we insane?” conversation, we’ve decided to put the podcast on pause. Making this show has been one of the most joyful, creatively unhinged, time-consuming, and financially questionable things we’ve ever done. And we wouldn’t trade a second of it. What started as two Brooklyn comedians with microphones and delusions of grandeur turned into something we’re so proud of. Our friendship grew in ways we truly didn’t expect. Wolf...watch out. We are closer than ever and yes, we are still comedy wives. To everyone who listened, DM’d, came to live shows, requested feet pics, came on as an unhinged guest, or told us “hey - you guys have something here," we love you. And to everyone else... we have a list with your name on it. This episode is a love letter to the show, to New York, to you, and to the version of ourselves that said, “Sure, let’s start a podcast” but hey... sometimes the most New York thing you can do is pivot. GIGANTIC SHOUTOUT TO OUR DEAR PRODUCER SEAN! Truly, what a gem of a human. Thank you all for spending your Thursdays with us. We’ll see you around the city. Xxx Love us? Hate us? Keep in touch!

   New Yorker of the Week: Just Us and Everyone Except Jill Zarin

   We cover Nora’s recent Bahamas trip where there was somehow no food, debate whether we’re cruise or land people, and assign ourselves roles in the event of a plane crash. Productive. We spiral about what we’d do if we had no jobs, gush about our love for Alone and The Traitors, and yes, celebrate Jill Zarin getting cut from the RHONY reboot. Some news simply heals a city.

[…] State of the Union. How long? When did it start? It started at nine. He's probably still shuffling in. How old is he? Like a hundred. And it's crazy. Brooklyn Health Center looking for a top doctor. No. Do you have one for me? Did you see, though, that someone commented on one of our old posts saying that they have a dentist recommendation? Did you see our YouTube comment? No. Someone gave us a dentist recommendation on YouTube as well. Maybe it was the same person. No, it's a different person. Wow. Because I saw both comments. Wow. So we definitely have recommendations. That's amazing. Regardless, I have my wisdom teeth coming up with a different dentist, but... […]
