Creating the New York We Want, Dream Baby Press, GOAT Substacks & Couples Therapy with Matt Starr

We are OUTSIDE today with West Wilson talking a whole lot of food, creative influences and more. It was really dope to get to know West better over some Baos and Rosé champagne on a beautiful Friday afternoon, we hope you enjoy as much as we did!

This week's episode is a mouthful and that's appropriate because we're live from the new home of Baohaus on 97 St Marks Place. We cover the first week of service at the restaurant, but not before discussing what's making Natashia gay again lately. If you're a fan of trashy Blake Lively and smoking it to the filtah, this episode's for you.

We've got one half of the the Throwing Fits dynasty with us on Canal Street Dreams. From Looksmaxxing to prophesizing our son's Wasian future, you're in for a treat on this special episode with the Podfather.

We've got a very special episode this week with Eddie's partners in the reopening of Baohaus! We're talking the process and inspiration for bringing Baohaus back in former Cecilia's on 97 St Marks. We are rejoined by Roman who is the powerhouse behind building the new Baohaus inside of what used to be Cecilia's owned by Russ. We're talking deals made in bathhouse steam rooms, loitering as a dining experience and Dipset celebrations. Don't miss this one and come grab a Bao this week!

Noah Thomas stops by after famously being named best dressed homie of the year by Jian Deleon on his Canal Street Dreams appearance. Noah is the Associate Fashion Director for Men’s & Children at Macy's. We talk his inspirations now and coming up in the fashion world. We get to nerd out on some of our favorite brands and much more.

This week we're joined by LES's own Shanny Wise and Jackson Walker Lewis that together make up FCUKERS. They are an NYC party-driven dance collective that blends house, electro-indie, breakbeat and big-beat influences. Basically they're bringing the party back and we're here to ask them hard hitting questions like where is their favorite dirt bag sandwich from. Tune in for a nice mix of how they broke at Baby's All Right, creative inspirations and what the aftie's are looking like in London.

With great pizza comes great responsibility. F*ck that is Spiderman not Batman but same same. Chris Hansell of the famed Chrissy’s Pizza stops by C$D this week to talk all things New York City za. We get into what drove him to teach himself to make pizza with his home oven, the process of opening his own shop, and the classic New York slices that set the standard. It’s a conversation about craft, obsession, and the moment when a recipe finally clicks. Chris is a solid dude and there are few people on earth that love a pie like this man. Indulge!

David’s 2017 article The Uninhabitable Earth helped move climate change from the margins into the center of public conversation, influencing how the issue is covered and understood beyond activism. We talk about the moment that led to The Uninhabitable Earth, the overlap between politics, money, and business interests, and how people really grasp the scale of climate problems.
