Liz and Jason are back at the deli counter this week as they introduce their brand-new Substacks, debate celebrity press-tour looks, and recap a massive Jay-Z show at Yankee Stadium. Then the conversation takes an international turn as they attempt to plan a European vacation together—complete with restaurant priorities, overpacking concerns, public-bathroom recommendations, airplane-seat boundaries, and the very real possibility that they may not survive traveling together.

Along the way, they discuss Zendaya and Law Roach, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, Jude Bellingham, Erling Haaland’s handbag collection, Cartier watches, Café de Flore, Paris museums, Amsterdam bike traffic, Spanish dinner times, and why a mismatched pair of candlesticks can ruin an otherwise perfectly good podcast set.

Plus: What is the best public bathroom in New York City? How many pairs of shoes does one person need in Europe? And why is Jason already preparing to explain Liz’s disappearance to her father?

Welcome to Hustle & Schmear where the coffee is strong, the opinions are stronger, and somehow the conversation always ends up somewhere completely unexpected.

Hustle & Schmear is back for Season 2 and the deli counter is officially open.

After a little summer hiatus, Liz and Jason reunite to catch up on birthdays, London adventures, New York summers and the childhood memories that still define the season. From sleepaway camp, first crushes and family vacations to summer foods, beach bags, fashion, travel and the eternal beach-versus-pool debate, nothing stays on topic for very long and that’s exactly the point.

They’re also talking summer resets, Liz and Jason’s new Substacks, Jason’s art classes, questionable footwear, expensive straw bags, nostalgic summer movies, lobster rolls, corn on the cob and why every relaxing vacation apparently comes with the possibility of an animal attack.

It’s bagels, banter and brutal honesty—with plenty of unsolicited opinions, inappropriate stories and detours along the way.

Grab an iced coffee, find some shade and join Liz Cohen and Jason Salstein for the Hustle & Schmear Season 2 premiere.
