We’re pretty sure most of our listeners are New Yorkers—but when we first started this podcast (shoutout to the HHPL era), we had high hopes of breaking into middle America. Specifically, we imagined women with throw pillows that say things like “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my bottle of wine.” Or... wait, is that not quite it... sorry bad with expressions. You get the vibe though. That demographic.

Anyway, assuming we haven’t quite won over the wine-mom crowd yet, this episode won’t be too shocking. But if we have—hey, welcome!—just a heads-up: we’re getting a little political this week. Our New Yorker(S) of the Week are the people protesting ICE around the city right now.

And, fair warning, next week’s episode might also dip into politics. But look, the world’s kind of on fire and NYC’s got a lot going on—it would feel weird to ignore it while calling ourselves New Yorker of the Week, right?

That said, we’re still us. Still comedians. Still finding a way to be funny, light, slightly unhinged, and fully inappropriate—because that’s what you came for.

So with that: please show up for your communities. We love you, NYC. Always. <3

What’s more New York than a pigeon? Well… how about a pigeon living in a Soho loft with better lighting than your last apartment?

This week’s New Yorker of the Week is Pidge the Pigeon, rescued in Williamsburg by the endlessly cool and sweet Abby Jardine. The two now share a downtown apartment that can only be described as a Pigeon Paradise—think natural light, high ceilings, and a very chic perch situation.

You might be wondering: Nora, Hanna, how exactly do you interview a pigeon?
Fair question. Let’s just say, like our chat with Lola the Mets dog (see ep 1!), some things defy explanation—you’ll have to listen (and watch) to believe it. And yes, we recommend catching this one on YouTube or Spotify (because that’s a thing now!) to fully appreciate Pidge in her natural urban habitat.

From nesting beside Abby’s beside to strutting through NYC in a designer purse, Pidge is honestly living better than all of us. Abby walks us through what it really means to be a pigeon mom in New York, and trust us: it’s as delightful and surprising as it sounds.

Truly, it doesn’t get more NYC than this. Enjoy! Xx

In a city drowning in dating hell, one man—okay, maybe a few, but this one’s ours—is bravely asking the questions no one else will touch.

Like: Why is everyone ghosting me? When’s the appropriate time to bang without needing a DTR seminar? And do we really need to get married, or can we just keep texting until we die?
