New York has officially broken us.

This week we spiral through summer in the city, World Cup mania, Knicks obsession, AI comedy posters, Sheri’s secret trip to Italy, and all the weird little things that somehow only make sense if you’ve lived here.

Just two comedians trying to survive the greatest and dumbest city on Earth.

New episodes every week.

This week Brad Rickert and Sheri Ciprane are joined by comedian Rebecca Kaplan for a wild ride through the weird corners of comedy, culture, and modern life.

The gang investigates why Pimp Daddy somehow has a suspiciously strong German fanbase, debates the sexuality stereotypes surrounding Jewish women, and tries to figure out what WWE actually stands for. Along the way they dive into WNBA fandom, celebrity backup careers, buying yourself bottle service on your birthday, and whether answering emails in a coffee shop makes you productive or just annoying.

They also get into heavier territory, discussing allegations involving a comedy club owner, the challenges women face getting stage time, and the never-ending debate around joke stealing, including Robin Williams’ complicated legacy.

Plus: Ben Affleck confusion, voice memos, Live Nation’s impact on festivals, and the kind of trashy-yet-thoughtful conversation that can only happen between comics who’ve spent too much time in bars and green rooms.

New episodes every week.
