Phil and Tory's Treehouse

Phil Rubin and Tory Robbins

To live in New York City is to hold a ringside seat at a human circus starring junkie soccer coaches, bankers brawling over nursery school slots, and the occasional subway harpist. Every week, Phil & Tory — talk about life in the Big City. They also discuss other stuff, too, like get-rich-quick schemes, Jewish true crime tales, and psychoanalytical malpractice.
