  • Who's Gonna Run This Town Tonight?

    Who's Gonna Run This Town Tonight?
    Sep 12 2025

    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.

  • Mr. Adams Goes to Riyadh?

    Mr. Adams Goes to Riyadh?
    Sep 5 2025
    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.

  • Clowning Through the Hell Gate of Summer

    Clowning Through the Hell Gate of Summer
    Aug 29 2025

    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 Ariel Gordon breaks down the clown renaissance taking our fine city by storm, and reminds us all to be a little more stupid.

  • This Filthy Town is Run on Potato Chip Cash Bags

    This Filthy Town is Run on Potato Chip Cash Bags
    Aug 22 2025

    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.

  • Millennials Posing as Zoomers Posing as Andrew Cuomo

    Millennials Posing as Zoomers Posing as Andrew Cuomo
    Aug 15 2025
    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?

  • Our Rats Are Chilling on Lily Pads While Our Billionaires Are Freaking Out

    Our Rats Are Chilling on Lily Pads While Our Billionaires Are Freaking Out
    Aug 8 2025
    Our city's fine rats are bathing in fountains and tanning on lily pads, Cuomo and Trump are reportedly gabbing it up, and Elizabeth Warren is back on CNBC to dish it out against our raging billionaires. It's the dog days of summer and the anti-Mamdani coalition cooked up a new set of logos but it doesn’t seem like anybody is quite hitting the mark. Then, the team interrogates the biases in John Catsimatidis's "Mamdani Policy Impact Calculator" and find that you can't argue with a "crime cost increase."

  • The Corporate Media Cannot Figure Out How to Blame Zohran Mamdani

    The Corporate Media Cannot Figure Out How to Blame Zohran Mamdani
    Aug 2 2025
    A mass shooting in Midtown earlier this week left four dead, and one of the victims was a cop. True to form, Cuomo and corporate media have taken this as a cue to attack Mamdani for his stance on the NYPD, and, similarly true to form, totally miss the point. The team unpacks how the shifting demographics of voters in the city—and its cops—complicate the cookie-cutter picture they’ve been painting for the past few decades. Then, a billionaire zoom call makes the team wonder if it’s ok to spend $300 on an oyster platter.

  • Is Donald Trump No Longer a Phan of Eric Adams?

    Is Donald Trump No Longer a Phan of Eric Adams?
    Jul 25 2025

    The team talks about the Trump administration's escalating pressure on our fair city, beginning with Columbia University's massive, humiliating settlement. Was it worth it, Columbia? Which then brings us to the federal government suing the Adams administration over New York City's sanctuary policies—how is Mayor Eric Adams reacting to Tom Homan finally being "up his butt"?


    Then, our intrepid correspondents discuss a Phish show they saw at Forest Hills Stadium this week. Listen if you dare!
