We’re joined by Christopher Robbins and Katie Way of Hell Gate NYC to discuss their site’s massive new feature on New York Mayor Eric Adams. “The Table of Success” interactive introduces us to and shows the connections between the wide away of shady professional and business associations, family members, and other goons in the orbit of the A #1 King of New York. We discuss these various figures, as well as Mr. Mayor’s ongoing corruption scandals and his messianic vision for his reshaping of NYC.

Second.

Billy Thunderhawk

Thank goodness, I have a 2 hour drive in the morning

Brendan Kneeland

I think one of the last eps Matt did before the stroke was “No Self to Kale” which was another banger. In case anyone’s looking for a good companion ep / you want to hear more about this absolute freak of a mayor 😎

this is going to be a tasty morsel if it goes as hard as my sudden recollection of formative childhood trauma vis-a-vis an overt Limbaugh allusion... "I learned [edgy political snobbery] from you, Dad?!"

The table of swag

bob dylan

Working the night shift!

Poppy Chulo

There's a glut of juicy meat around the republican primaries, Trump, and Israel and we get a solid hour of the mayor of new york. Also it's ok to go over 59 minutes, we promise.

Jon

Felix surprise ep

Poppy Chulo

The Majority Report has been killing it.

Ed Smith

More like smellgate. Roasted. Shit ep, I’m predicting. Fuck Adams.

Nick D

Fentanyl laced marijuana was pretty common in NYC a few years ago. Maybe not so much now with all these shops that have opened up.

Dawson

Good episode but unbearable levels of vocal fry from Katie

Fernslinger

Hello lads! Haven’t listened to the episode yet but I’m sure it’s another banger! How about you do an episode about Fargo season five? It’s the most lib brained bullshit tv show I’ve ever seen and I think it would be right up your street! It’s like a liberal version of Tulsa King for people with Trump derangement syndrome! Awesome stuff and just the kind of slop that makes these piggies wild!

Comrade Trash Panda

And by killing it you mean shining a flashlight under their chin and telling everyone the spooky scary story of the orange man so they'll vote blue no matter who's doing a genocide

Poppy Chulo

You must be confused, they've spent more time on Israel and the failure of the Biden administration than any other podcast I've come across including this one.

Poppy Chulo

It's another shit episode.

drewb

I see you know your judo well

William

Nah sounds fine

William

Majority report is ass. Everything you mentioned is boring as shit - they covered the primaries and Trump on Monday and what’s more to be said on isreal that they haven’t already said? Also, you can watch the news and see the failure of the Biden administration. Why do I need someone to tell me about it again

David J Carter

As someone who came of age in inner city Los Angeles I seriously doubt that anyone is going to sprinkle angel dust on their breakfast cereal. First off it would taste terrible. Next it would make the kid drool like a rabid woodchuck.

William

Look like it

Karl Childers

vocal fry does not exist it's a myth

Blank

Like Clarence Thomas at oral argument for 20 years, Felix has entered his silent era :’(

Jon Spinillo

100% Just watched the finale last night. Uffda.

Doug Cartel

really burying the lede there by glossing over the Mets tickets. I want every detective pulling overtime to figure out if Adams has ANY connections to Frank the Tank

DROP

They’re both NJ natives so probably

ACABadabra

You just want everyone to know that you know what vocal fry is. Good job, buddy.

Doug Cartel

Israel has a pipeline going through Turkey so maybe his israel fandom came first, then the turk fandom? Whatever the case, if he ever moves to Golan Heights he's going to have an instagram where he just decorates his house with the skulls of combat dead from the 1967 war

TugNuggins

@karl well that's certainly not true

Damen Irving

Since we’re on the topic of big city mayors, could you guys do something on Brandon Johnson in Chicago? I genuinely think his progressive agenda and career is being intentionally demolished by establishment Dems.

Karl Childers

i have never once actually noticed vocal fry, just lots of dudes (and only ever dudes) complaining about vocal fry from women (and only ever women) hmm mysterious

Petrorenminbi

He’s a high-profile progressive, of course he’s being railroaded by the establishment

Jenn

Did you know that mayors of big cities are corrupt?!

MEAT CLOWN

As a vocal fry hater, I'm experiencing intense revulsion every time Katie talks. I guess I am destined to become one of her waiters at the table of podcast success.

Oscar Cozza

"Kids are getting wet and Eric Adams is the umbrella" was hilarious and Katie deserved more of a laugh when she said it

Chris T

After listening to both Movie Mindset and Hell of Presidents (both excellent btw), it’s clear Felix is the part time employee at Chapo.

johnwaynesmom

i don't live in New York but i can't get enough Eric Adams, keep it coming

BigBoto

busting through the front door of the NYPD office in Tel Aviv screaming "MEET THE METS" and kicking the first guy I see in the dick

Jaime Christley

“Vocal fry” and “upspeak” are two barely veiled substitutions for “shut up bitch”

MEAT CLOWN

Lots of men do it too. Michael Hobbes does it constantly but luckily he's hilarious. Cody Johnston is also a fried voice haver.

MEAT CLOWN

See also: the guy in the dog food ad on YouTube that says "no living being...should ever eat processed food...for every single meal of their life" *gurgle*

Meatwad Cosby

Chapo can you do my mayor next? The citizens of Chandler, Oklahoma are wondering how our mayor managed to pay for a new garage door in the middle of busy season.

Logan

Sparky, join us in reality

Logan

Confirmed lib "brain"

SkinnyTonySoprano

I'll trade you my pudding cup and pb&j for 10 grams of cocaine

Poppy Chulo

Monday episodes cover the last week. Do you know your days of the week fuckhead? Israel is boring as shit, the fraud trial is boring as shit? The primaries? You're an absolute bitch and I've seen you posting all over the comments on other episodes being an absolute faggot.

Logan

Would you rather have the legal corruption of a Bloomberg or the slapstick corruption of an Adams?

Logan

I'm an outsider who doesn't know much. Genuine question.

Jaime Christley

for real tho YouTube Premium is the one thing I pay for in the realm of streaming services. they broke me with ads that begin with a guy shoving 10k dead mosquitos into the frame, or others that were along the lines of "craziest stuff vets pulled out of dogs' eyes!" Uncle. I'm out. I'll pay any price

Don Tickles

What was that...(Portuguese?) Song they played which mentions the NYT

Whucko Jaang

I knew the system was corrupt but I thought an elected individual could solve that.

Jaime Christley

I Shazamed it, it's "New York New York" by Turkish musician İlhan Şeşen. I gather from the way he's swagged out in photos that he's like a Turkish Charles Aznavour. Or maybe he used to be a rocker and he's in his "duets" albums phase, like Rod Stewart.

Jaime Christley

I lived in NYC from Giuliani thru Adams and - this bears out going back many many mayors before them - this is one city that can only elect mayors that everyone despises. The one cold comfort is they invariably evaporate when they try to go nationwide, like on TNG when the mobsters think they've busted out of the holodeck.

b-rar

It's gonna be Trump/Adams '24, book it

K H

All I got is a glock and half a mag.

K H

Opposite reaction. Incredibly horny. The pipe is set for the laying.

K H

Are you saying Mayor Erik Adims is some kind of liar?

BAM

What song was that act break?

Damian

This ep might be like 9/11 or it might be like celebrating the opening of a new business, guess we’ll just see

Jon

Dusty Diamonds liked his own comment

Cait Reynolds

It’s godawful. Almost impossible to sit through

james

Damn the Nazis on Twitter WISH they could mock hilarious black people to this degree!! Amazing stuff!!

MKatieUltra

Truly one of those things ppl only started getting annoyed with once it was brought up in the 2010s and is usually leveled against women

joe

Shout out backyardigans

William

You’re fucking retarded

William

I didn’t have any reaction

Clammy_Damp

Jay-Z’s nothin but a lib-ass Mark Smeaton looking for a teet to hang off

William

Isreal is continuing their genocide, the primaries are fucking boring, the fraud trial is a joke. Do you always start crying this bad when someone gives you the mildest rebuke? Pray to Jesus you get a life

William

Also, my comment has more likes than yours which means people like me more. Sorry lib

Poppy Chulo

There's been a myriad of developments in a growing regional conflict and major developments in the trials and primaries and you king of the faggots have decreed it's boring. Color me shocked that a sycophant will will defend tepid slop like this by being a catty bitch. Eat my ass bozo.

Poppy Chulo

They're all phoning it in.

Poppy Chulo

Also who are you to tell anyone to get a life, you replied to how many comments in the last two weeks? I know I've said this before but it bares repeating, you're an unbelievable bitch.

etienne

the first time I heard about him was when Jalopnik reported that during his primary run, he 1) parked his Prius in front of a truck parking access for an industrial yard, causing a huge lineup of trucks 2) got up from sleeping, and parked his car ON THE SIDEWALK in front of his alleged appartment which isn't even his so right off the bat I knew this guy was a fucking nutcase and it only got better with time. Oh and it's nice to know that one of the only city in america that could be livable for bus riders and cyclists is prevented from fullfilling its potential by a cadre of absolute psychos who drive in from New Jersey

Wagner Koop

Fuck Philip Banks. Banks wants to empty the banks, fill our streets with banks, and run a bank making operation out of his banks.

MEAT CLOWN

The people annoyed by it have always hated it but we didn't know there was a name for it until recently, and there are plenty of men with gross voices too. Such a weird thing to try and turn into a gender issue and I've primarily heard it directed at males until this comment section. I also hate the sound of chewing and I reserve the right to complain on the internet

No Relation to Henry

From elsewhere in the comments, it’s “New York, New York” by İlhan Şeşen.

Kevin Boyle

Please cover the whole story… Eric Adams had to beat Benjamín Grant Kissel, American Podcast Hero, to win Brooklyn Borough President. I think Ben won 1% of the vote, maybe 2%.

No Relation to Henry

Chapo has done great work talking about the genocide and interviewing journalists I wouldn’t have otherwise heard of who are covering it. They’re allowed to also do episodes on other things. The Majority Report has also been great on this; they’re a different style of show with a bit of a different audience, and Sam is a lib for sure, but they’ve also interviewed some excellent people and have kept covering the genocide when mainstream outlets want to forget about it.

Mr Blake

Eric Adam’s episode!

No Relation to Henry

It’s fine to find someone’s voice annoying but pretty weird to come to the comments and complain about it. What do you expect her to do, change the way she talks because you don’t like her voice?

Zach

Hasn’t Crypto almost made a full come back at this point? Bitcoin is back in the mid high 40ks. Or did you mean he was tied to meme coins too? Not that I’m a crypto person

etienne

I'd say the difference is that back then you could pretend with a straight face that crypto was in some way part of the future of like The Economy but now it's like oh okay you guys are just playing penny stocks. that's fine! it can be lucrative, but it's like one oddball corner of day trading

Nolan

Has Mayor Adams visited the tunnels????

Nolan

Holy shit Backyardigans reference!?

Poppy Chulo

Muh sexism and muhsoggyknee!

Major bit me

I have a weird voice guess what weird voice people rule the world you know what they make normal voicers? They make them waiter at the table of success

b-rar

User name = accurate

Jaime Christley

Yeah all the hucksters have moved onto AI - but even that now seems to have run its course. What’s to become of them? Return to their roots: buying up legacy brands/publications like Sports Illustrated and Toys R Us and Pitchfork and running them off a cliff.

mary catherine

Really interesting subject matter, but the guests came off as kind of unprofessional and unprepared for the interview

mary catherine

Get out of broadcast audio the same way ugly people are barred from the screen!

Dark Belden

Congrats on being normal.

Jason Matthews

It's the Canadian content that keeps us going.

Dark Belden

Nothing I hate more than people having voices.

Dark Belden

There is an interview with the creator about the finale on vanity fair if anyone is interested. Someone on here described it as no country for old men but Anton Chigurh decides to stay for dinner with Norma Jean but I thought they were joking. 🙃

Patrick Carroll

Mr swagged out mayor you were never my guest? I never comped you??

Natalie

zalgo text generator 🎂

Chris Reinhardt

Eric Adams is a spitting image of the mayor with 42 multiple personalities of NYC in Moore’s Promethia

MEAT CLOWN

@Major bit me can I start you off with some drinks?

MEAT CLOWN

We expect to commiserate with our fellow autists who also don't like when voices sound a certain way, it helps take the edge off

etienne

I've said it before but Eric Adams is mayor of Ankh-Morpork

MKatieUltra

Nope it is definitely disproportionately something women get complaints about. Ppl even try to say it’s exclusively done by women. I’d guess it’s that higher voices make it more apparent

jsobrie

Damn Turkish dad Albanian son powerful combo

Jason Matthews

Abel Ferrara needs to mine the Eric Adams saga for its Christian imagery. Like Padre Pio, he's a pious fraud, lying to tell profound truths.

Greasy_Jones

I'd be afraid to cross a guy named Philip Banks, last god damned thing I need is to get tossed out the door

MEAT CLOWN

Yeah after you said that I read an article that talked about how it seems to bother people less when associated with lower pitched voices. See: Barack HUSSEIN Obungler, Christopher Judge. It definitely sounds more grating with a higher voice and women are obviously more likely to have a high voice than men. The first time I heard the term was on cum town when Nick accused friend of the show Adam Friedland of doing it to make himself sound cool. Apparently it entered public consciousness due mostly to the Kardashians talking that way all the time. Anyway folks, let's fry our disgusting Iowa Caucus treats and not our voices please

Eon Gattignolo

another breadcrumb in this ep supporting my paranoid hunch that p diddy and jay z were cointelpro style government projects meant to make rap music mainstream and as bland and pro capitalist as possible.

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

Uncle Phil, you’ve got to kick that man’s BUTT Eric Adams: Philip Banks, you should kick my butt Philip Banks, kick the man’s butt-butt-butt

fried egg

hahahaha as a last pod fan who watched ben kissel’s stupid documentary i can’t hear about brooklyn borough president without thinking of the disgraced podcaster

buttface

As someone who does not live in NYC, i could not care less about eric adams.

Will Elliot

This chick sounds so cunty 🥹🥲🤤 does she want to date me!

James Roche

Vocal fry like this takes me back to the days when the Red Scare hosts would pop up on pods. I do not miss those days.

Jon

Don’t pick the wrong wine…

fried egg

will never forget when i walked into the brooklyn central library without knowing they were doing the jay-z exhibit and was shocked that there were just grammys in the fiction section

Brett Anders

Hell Gate + Chapo should be monthly

The Children of Jack Acid

They should have put an image of a younger Jay-Z in front of the Shakespeare aisle looking all serious, but with a little bit of a wry smile too, with a caption beneath it saying "Have a BARD Knock Life."

DaddyB

Holy vocal fry Batman

RG13

Tiffany Raspberry has gotta be a Thomas Pynchon character.

Rxk Lenderman

What was that song that played at 25 mins?

Natalie

This episode was a goddamn delight

RG13

This Eric Adams is lord of a lost civilization. Nobody cares. Move out of the sticks, Matt.

Mark Schneider

Impressed that Rod knows who Canneti is-- disappointed that he remains stupid & frightened & weak.

Yarblockos

Are there any good people from New York?

Cody Ross Rex

As someone who has been a rod head since way before chapo, I can say with certainty that he only ever confuses and disappoints

Cody Ross Rex

Straight out of the Vineland corporate dojo
