Except for all the parts that are totally made up.” But what I found surreal was how much of what was referenced to in the show was accurate, even for New Yorkers like me who like to call bullshit on series that take place on our home turf.

His wife threw me a baby shower last year!”Įach episode’s opening credits included this line: “This whole story is completely true.
