It’s a cold one in NYC, and Pokie and Walter are bundled up and catching up on life in this cozy (and chaotic) Bar Talk episode. From snowy dog walks and old-dog vs. young-dog problems to a very real pet health scare, the duo shares honest updates from the week.

They recap missed friend gatherings, espresso martinis with Ferrero Rocher garnishes, and some excellent NYC food adventures. Pokie talks about standing on the nurses’ strike line (complete with air horns, DJs, drag queens, and marching bands), while Walter shares concert highlights, jazz shows, and upcoming performances at Lincoln Center and beyond.

The episode wraps with concert plans, artist spotlights, winter fatigue, and the very real struggle of finding motivation to practice without a performance deadline. No script, no agenda—just two friends talking life, music, community, and staying warm.
