Eric Adams, Part 1
WE WEREN'T GOING TO DO IT. NOT FOR A WHILE. But those haters, the fates, have forced our hand.
Mayor Mattie sits at the head of the table of success and takes Riley and November through the career of Eric Adams, from when he was a mere teenager getting hit in the back of the head with a baseball bat through the first half of his high-flying mayoralty, when all the troubles began.
Part 2 about the Crimes right here on the Patreon next week!

_Slaps top of NYC roller bin_ You could kill so many rats in one of these babies
obsessed that he's albania's honorary mayor now too
Got completely blindsided by the reference to Tom Walker's fast car GTA series, amazing work.
covering Eric Adams is a distraction from covering Pete Buttigieg
April 16, 2026 the Mayortaculus has selected Pete Buttigieg
they’re walking him around on a leash on TV now this is so insane
Yellow bile, bile, & choler are all the same humor. Phlegmatics believe themselves intellectual & white of hair. Johnson Melancholics are sickly & fearful; rudy The choleric are short tempered & daring: adams & the sanguine are ruddy, ford
You know New York is the skavenblight of America
Is your child wearing The Pants That Kill You Instantly??
For more on the subject of Nazis being good at war, see the Lions Led by Donkeys Episode on the Invasion of Crete, and the Well There's Your Problem Bonus Episode on Nazi Wunderwaffe.
(Yes this is intended sarcastically)
Definitely agree with Mattie about not making memories for a while there. I started keeping a journal in late 2019 and reading through some of the entries from the pandemic feels more like archaeology than recollection.
Eric Adams has Angron's butcher's nail in his brain.
T=50:30, now I’m gonna be imagining all these mayors as Titans, running floppily towards the next group of common folk they’re going to devour.
what’s up with the split in half episodes? If I were you I would do 2 weeks of the public feed (one mayor) and then do 2 weeks on bonus feed (with some other kind of bureaucracy related thing) It saves each mayor being split in half (I really don’t like that you have to pay to get the whole mayoral saga)
Same. I think it may be off putting to newbies and backfire but that is pure conjecture.
Im late to this one but sorry about the mets Mattie, we'll get em next year LGM forever
So excited to have a new series about the worst people I've ever heard of to listen to! I don't know if there's a place to put submissions, but I would love to hear your team take on Orville Hubbard, "THE DICTATOR OF DEARBORN"
This was a bad thing to listen to while getting dental work. Also! Can you please do Bruce Harrell or some other Seattle mayors in the future?
help me stepsister-city i'm stuck in the laundromat
lmao
The rodent bucket trap (minus Eric Adams) came up on an episode of the stream a few years ago. Every time a mouse went in the bucket, Devon would interrupt themself and loudly state "MOUSE HARMED" before continuing what they were saying.
So good! Random type of Mayor for you, which I would love you to cover - the ‘Mayor of the Palace’ (or Majordomo) as part of the Merovingian Dynasty. A lot of them were right bastards, like Pepin the Short. Don't know if it is maybe a bonus style episode. Thank you for making my chores more interesting.
Excellent episode! The borough president Adams replaced had a truly excellent name- Marty Marckowitz. And whatever you’re picturing is probably correct. We should have just let Marty be boro president forever, he was quite content to play with the big scissors.
Please do Halifax's Peter Kelly
What the hell is the outline in that image? I just noticed the line cutting through Adams face and now I'm trying to figure out the silhouette...
They tried so hard to put it off for a Live show or something, but history kept happening
Why is he fingering that’s robot
I expected this to be a running joke like Chernobyl on WTYP or Sunlust on Dean of Doom.
I once described Eric Adams to a friend of mine as "A Fey who was banished to the mortal planes for having inscrutable vibes"
"New York is the (chittering noise)..." had me choking on my coffee.
Truly the fates are one's biggest haters.
this was hilarious, thank you
I’m on the rat buckets part of this episode and the thing that I just keep thinking about is how everyone in media declared that this man was the one who would show those stupid lefties what for when he won the mayoral election. I vividly remember the 538 staff live webchat as the results came in where they were talking about how great he was or whatever.
Eric Adams had FLCL happen to him.
Re: finding out Eric Adams did a big anti-rat campaign Did Ariana Grande know that when she did The Boy is Mine music video?? Was it a purposeful joke or an unfortunate coincidence ?? Bc she’s thirsting over a mayor who’s planning on killing all the rats? Does that imply we can read the aforementioned “boy” as Eric Adams??? I feel like I’m going crazy
nothing actually gets me out of bed on thursday mornings like another mayor
You've peaked too soon, like Icarus soaring towards the sun. What mayor can top this?
Could do Dianne Feinstein. She did a lot of good things, but she also severely hindered the hunt for Richard Ramirez
You really ran out of mayors
of course he has that Dim from a Clockwork Orange origin story, just like my dad, who was also a terrifying sociopath with a tbi who joined nypd. what a coinkydink! it’s almost as if they selectively recruit for cops with previously existing, completely untreated cptsd . (look up that story on his ex-cop buddy councilman Hiram Monserrate too. He slashed his gf’s face and then forced her into his car and drove her around for hours before he finally took her to an ER on long island. Part of it was clearly captured on video. She later dropped the charges.)
There’s something wrong with the audio I seem to be able to hear two hosts who aren’t Mattie? Where is the “oops all Mattie” version of this episode??
Eric adams truly the dead apostle ancestor of mayors
Aww man☹️I was eating stew when the bit about the rat traps came up
Oh no thank you for the warning
oh here we fuckin goooooo
