Life's a game, but it's not fair. I break the rules, so I don't care. Eric Adams is running for office, and into Hell Gate at the gym. Did he fumble his chance to be ambassador to Saudi Arabia? With his stock dropping fast, his media appearances are as weird as ever. Meanwhile, the team checks in on Mamdani, to find that he seems to be inching toward the center on the NYPD, with Jessica Tisch potentially still waiting in the wings. Hosted on Acast.

Mr. Adams Goes to Riyadh?
Eric Adams is up to something. While everyone else was getting back to work this week in our fine city, Adams was in Florida. Doing what exactly? Could he be dropping out? To vacation indefinitely at Mar-a-Lago? To cruise in first class, riding high off oil money from Saudi Arabia? To take selfies with celebrities and smash champagne flutes on the deck of a cruise ship filled with crypto bros? With just a few weeks left in the race, Donald Trump and his associates are meddling as much as they can in NYC politics to tip the scales. What is going on not-so-behind-the-scenes? Join us as we speculate wildly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Clowning Through the Hell Gate of Summer
In this end-of-summer special, the gang calls in from their Italian villas and Fire Island cabins to look back on our hellish summer in New York. What were you doing when Trump was bombing Iran? Some of us were on boats, watching Shakespeare, swimming in sewage, or DJing sweet beats. Then, reporter Arielle Gordon breaks down the clown renaissance taking our fine city by storm, and reminds us all to be a little more stupid. Hosted on Acast.

This Filthy Town is Run on Potato Chip Cash Bags
This week, some breaking news: A bag of potato chips (sour cream and onion), a pantsuit, and a bike lane are making us wonder what the hell is really going on behind the scenes in NYC politics. The Adams crew continues to cook up bribery and corruption, and we are here to feast at the table. Though, all things being equal—as we’ve established—seafood is always a good deal. Hosted on Acast.

Millennials Posing as Zoomers Posing as Andrew Cuomo
Andrew Cuomo is leaning so hard into twitter he’s falling off. Millennials posing as Zoomers posing as Cuomo are taking on Mamdani and Mamdani is responding in turn. The team takes apart some of the false arguments getting tossed around, and despite the heat, nothing is sticking. Then, the Summer Youths make it rain thanks to the Parks Department, Katie breaks down what’s hot at the Rockaway Film Festival, and the team discusses an important controversy: What is an OK food to eat on the MTA?
