Knicks Parade, Cigars & The Loneliness Epidemic

At 14:12 · chapter starts 12:50

The Knicks parade becomes an unlikely vehicle for social observation. Paige doesn't want to be negative — she says this sincerely — but 3 million people descending on lower Manhattan at 10 AM on a Thursday forces questions. Hannah finds it genuinely admirable that people want core memories, while Paige zooms out to the larger picture of men smoking cigars in crowds and what that says about the state of male bonding in America. The cigar detail delights both of them: neither had spent much time around cigar culture until Joe Gorga entered Paige's life, and they agree it is a whole world unto itself — alongside watches and golf.
