In this brutally honest episode, Mookie Spitz unleashes a full-throttle rant on why he walked away from the city he once loved — New York Fucking City.
From the dopamine-drenched highs of Broadway and late-night oyster bars to the rat-infested, overpriced dumps and subway stench, Mookie pulls zero punches in recounting his 13-year romance, souring, and eventual divorce from the so-called Greatest City on Earth.
Part memoir, part socio-political commentary, part love letter soaked in contempt, this episode digs into the soul-sucking cost of urban decay, the failures of progressive governance, and the existential crisis of a creative trying to make art in a city that eats its own.
The pod rant isn't just about NYC — but about America’s cities, class divides, and what happens when the dream starts to rot from the inside out.
If you’ve ever loved New York, hated New York, or found yourself screaming while stepping over a pile of garbage on the way to a $30 salad, this one’s for you.
