Worrying Won't Win

Abe Potash and his partner Morris Perlmutter run a cramped office in a bustling city, where their conversation drifts from the absurdities of modern language to the tangled fortunes of czars and manufacturers. Their quick‑witted repartee paints a vivid picture of early‑twentieth‑century commerce, peppered with jokes about presidents, war profiteers, and the strange jargon that colors everyday life. The dialogue crackles with period slang, giving listeners a taste of the era’s humor while introducing a world where business and politics collide.

Against this backdrop of restless speculation, the duo grapples with a looming sense of dread that seems to permeate every headline and ledger. Their banter becomes a mirror for the anxieties of a society on the brink of change, offering both satire and insight into how worry can overpower rational thought. Listeners are invited to join Abe and Morris as they untangle a web of financial folly, political intrigue, and the timeless question of whether fretfulness ever truly solves anything.
