Back again after a long hiatus. If you're still listening, good luck. But seriously, it's a rainy day in New York City, summer is in the air, and the Treehouse team rehashes more nonsense. Such as:

-Bob's subway birthday friend.

-John Updike's kids.

-Why you don't see warmongering Buddhists.

-Those darn Israelis at it again.

-Staten Island, home of the next Great American Novel

Ok folks. Spring break is over and we're back. This week we get into:

-Bob's idea to capitalize on the Trump tariffs with homegrown coconuts and sturgeon farms.

-When New York businesses don't account for weird homeless antics.

-The appeal of going off the grid

-Phil's new physical therapist

March is here and the weather is fantastic. A welcome break from the frost despite the loss of an hour due to daylight savings. Today we yak about the following:

-Be like Tracy Austin and NFL cornerbacks and learn to turn the page and not dwell on the negative.

-Phil grates his knuckle and deals with the neighborhgood oldies in the pharmacy.

-Anora and movie roundup.

-New York as a place to run into celebrities

Holy crap it's cold. Again. This week more nonsense such as:

-Bob's search for a new duvet leads him into a magicakl world of MILFs, GILFs and Siamese twins

-Career advice: find a sugar mommy!

-What's really going on at the Met?

-More personals from those nerds at the New York Review of Books

Well folks another wintry week (or two) and we're back at it. This week we look at:

-HMart the suddenly semi-ubiquitous Korean grocery. Asian shopping minus the toads and loogie hockers.

-Phil considers hijacking a book panel at the Strand.

-You know all that street construction? Is it all bullshit? And other street perils: dangling steel girders, Mexican scaffold workers, and double parked Ubers.

-The depressing list of mayoral contenders.

Happy New Year Fans! Episode 40. A nice round number. Who would have thought we'd make it here. Together! And this week we continue the tradition of more nonsense. Including:

-The Johnnies are back!

-New Year's Eve AA meetings. Fun!

-Cold wet Cape Code New Year's. More fun. More fentanyl please.

-Phil sees a couple of attractive Jews on a bookstore date.

and a little policy:

-Congestion pricing. No more police chases (unless you're on an ebike chasing the cops).

Apologies for the absence, but Bob is now a semi-orphan (send money). In other news, lots to discuss including:

-Some guy in the neighborhood who Phil recognized and continually ignores. Or is it the other way around?

-Opening an offal restaurant in New York.

-Phil yaks about some stupid thing he did to some kid years ago.

-opening a salon for fancy artists. What happened to that stuff?

It's Election time. We maybe voting but definitely podcasting. This week while you're waiting to cast your ballot listen the team as they yak about stuff:

-Phil unveils a steamy tale of New Year's shenanigans.

-Bob debates whether he will drag himself to vote.

-The Great Migrant Baking Show!

-And why those spicy cookbook publishers pander to white folks.
