Hanna’s tripping over things in her kitchen, Nora reveals what “she knows about the news”, and the girls spiral about the sudden wave of TikTok ads invading our feeds. Plus: an all-too-real NYC horror story involving an unsolicited hand job in a movie theater (yes, really) and a very important conversation about pets who talk on the phone.

Another week, another episode that could only happen in New York.

This week’s New Yorker of the Week is Simon Ban (aka @squids_ink, tattoo artist, co-owner, and resident artist at Estuary Tattoo in Brooklyn.

You know that guy in Bushwick who “wants to be a tattoo artist” but can’t make it to his Blank Street Coffee shift before noon? Simon is what happens when that guy actually follows through and gets really good at it. He’s one of the most talented (and, let’s be honest, hottest) tattoo artists in NYC.

We talk about how Simon went from doing stick and pokes in his Pratt dorm room to co-owning one of the coolest studios in Brooklyn. If you’re in the market for new ink, check out Estuary Tattoo. Their resident and guest artists are unreal, and they’ll treat you with the love and professionalism that your flaky Bushwick date simply could not.

This week’s New Yorker of the Week is Carl Radke! For the few who don’t know, Carl is a key cast member of Bravo’s Summer House, and these days he’s channeling his energy into Soft Bar, a non-alcoholic bar in Greenpoint that’s reimagining what nightlife can look like without the hangover.

Carl joins us to talk about the leap from Hamptons reality TV to founding his own bar, building community through sobriety, training for the New York City Marathon, writing a book, and so much more! This boy will not stop and we love it!

Spoiler alert: We went to Soft Bar, and it rules, so definitely go check it out ASAP!

It’s a Just Us episode, which means Nora and Hanna are off the rails and in your ears. This week we eat candy in a so-called “ASMR” way, debate make up as an art form, revisit Hanna’s delightfully cooky church upbringing, map out the long list of hot Halloween parties we've have been invited to, and spiral over the emotional damage of spotting a bridesmaid in an Apple Watch. Plus, plenty more nonsense and New York neuroses you didn’t ask for but will absolutely enjoy.

This week’s New Yorker of the Week is Jess Rothschild, writer, producer, and professional documenter of New York’s most fascinating subcultures. Jess is the creator and executive producer of Cult of Body & Soul, the seven-part series that unpacks how SoulCycle went from sweaty spin class to full-blown cultural movement. She’s also behind Finding Fire Island, the lush docu-series on queer legends and lore from Cherry Grove to The Pines.

Since 2019, Jess has hosted Hot Takes & Deep Dives, a pop-culture feast featuring icons like Rosie O’Donnell, Sandra Bernhard, Fran Drescher, and Isaac Mizrahi. She even got her start as a founding writer for Autostraddle, the internet’s longest-running independent LGBT site.

Tune in as we talk cult workouts, queer icons, and what it means to tell the stories that make New York so perfectly New York.

On today’s New Yorker of the Week, it’s Just Us, Hanna and Nora, your two favorite funny NYC ladies.

This week: Lady Gaga’s superhuman stamina, why Midtown’s Sugarfish is somehow the city’s hottest club, the uncanny overlap between pedicures and haircuts, Nora’s growing animal-hoarding tendencies, and the heartbreaking moment we withdraw our support for Al Sharpton.
