This week, Sasha Merci is back and we get into everything, from wild subway stories while growing up in the Bronx to why New York really is just a small town. We debate NYC vs LA culture, break down why “the world comes to New York,” and get real about money, lifestyle, and why LA just doesn’t hit the same for everyone. Plus: Skid Row stories, zodiac chaos, higher thoughts, Bad Bunny’s global takeover, and a hilarious new game “Who’s Slang Is It Anyway?” It’s funny, chaotic, and a VERY New York episode!

Two lifelong friends from Philadelphia, comedians Dave Temple and Derek Gaines, host this unapologetically funny conversation. On No Need For Apologies, part of the GaS Digital Network, the pair dive into whatever is on their minds with the kind of frank, hilarious, and often brutally honest dynamic that only real friendship allows. You’ll hear them dissect the latest in film and television, pick apart pop culture absurdities, and share stories from their own lives, all filtered through a distinctly Philly sensibility. The energy is loose, the opinions are strong, and the laughs are constant, because the whole point of this podcast is a refusal to couch their thoughts in polite disclaimers. It’s a weekly hang where nothing is off-limits and every take comes without regret. Listen in for interviews with guests who can keep up, and long-form chats that feel like you’re parked at the table with them, debating everything from blockbuster movies to the mundane details of their day. The result is a consistently entertaining and authentic comedy podcast that truly lives up to its name.
