Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast.

In this video episode of David & Stu Unhinged, the topics covered are the following:

1. Instead of offering New Year’s resolutions, David discusses his In’s and Out's, which is a time-tested list of his preferences from year to year, including his belief that it is a New Yorker’s god-given right to complain about NYC while refusing to live anywhere else and his complete and utter disdain for the nepo babies who have congregated in the Village and wait in long lines for bagels and croissants.

2. Stu, to no one’s surprise, will take a look back at a dive bar for the ages as he recounts his times nostalgically at the Holland Bar in Hell’s Kitchen, a place the late Anthony Bourdain described as "a classic old-man bar a couple doors down from Siberia. You know, the kind of place it’s okay to drink during the day.”

3. David and Stu have had a vigorous debate about Stu’s questionable restaurant choices, but David now acknowledges that Stu may have a point about trendy places in NYC flocked by celebrities and influencers and recommends avoiding places like Carbone, Balthazar and Via Carota.

4. Before Stu went into the creative field, he was a lawyer and worked as a corporate cubicle slave at the illustrious General Electric Company. After his illustrious time in law school, Stu was able to secure a position at GE, and he will recount the unusual circumstances behind him being hired.
