Michael?

Peter. What do you know about Mayor Eric Adams?

All I know is that this man's greatest political feat is making me say the words,

I miss Michael Bloomberg. This episode was like inevitable but also the result of a very deliberate series of choices.

I like our Peter's Obsessions episodes. I like this thing where it's like okay what what is

Peter obsessed with and then how can we pretend that it's relevant in keeping with the show?

Peter's been watching clips of Eric Adams say dumb shit and giggling to himself for months straight.

This is like half of our text message conversations.

It's just like clips of Eric Adams. I have many friends who like I'll just send a clip of Eric Adams to them and they just like don't respond. But I keep doing it.

So Eric Adams is the 110th mayor of New York City. He's one of the

weirdest guys in history and he is the mayor at one of the weirder times in history and this has

resulted in me being fascinated with him. This is the part where you're

pretending that this has something to do with anything. Just say you want to watch a bunch of

clips and junk on this guy. It's fine. I do. Now throughout this episode I am just going to

every now and then randomly send you a clip of Eric Adams

saying something weird because I think that the only way to truly comprehend

him is to understand how odd this guy is and the only way to understand that is to just

listen to him talk a bunch so start off with this one oh good okay we're starting we're

going right in we're starting we're going to do a

clip right off the bat I love it. Everyone knows that New York City is the

Athens of America is the Athens of America. Is the Istanbul of America.

Is the Keith of America.
