Their dynamic banter is akin to being entertained by the wittiest and most insightful friends you have. They have penned a groundbreaking guide to contemporary life, tackling pressing questions like discussing drug use with your kids, navigating the ethics of ghosting in relationships, placing sports bets, understanding prison etiquette, determining a reasonable shoe budget, and dispelling myths about pornography. Drawing from their Bronx upbringing and life experiences, they aim to impart their acquired wisdom to readers. Described as a sequel to the Bible or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, depending on your geekiness level, this book is positioned as a guiding light for readers.
