no way the chapo boys are finding their underthings this morning. congrats!
Should I be concerned that this man still hasn’t said anything about ballot measures?
Obama made the call, this dude is compromised
We will not let the gestapo drag kids out of schools without a signed piece of paper that says they can do that
He dodged like every good question. Not the best of omens-- alas, a bit of an Obama flashback, no?
Can someone just direct me towards a basic voting guide for nyc ballot measures. The district system in this city is so needlessly complicated
No fucking pushback for Jessica Tisch, really pathetic softball interview ngl
You want this man to sign his own death warrant.
hot take i know, but i hated his tisch answer. still voting for him, if he can deliver on the rent freezes then i wont regret it. realistically, i dont think theres enough institutional power or public support for him to take on the NYPD head-on. time will tell on how much of this is playing nice vs full consession.
Did you know you can just block people on here? If there’s a guy with a coconut emoji for a name saying weird stupid shit, you just tap the picture on the left, hit the three dots, and click block. Then you don’t have to see the dumbest fuckin shit from some twacked lil doge intern troll.
Bless
Will incorrectly using 'writ large' is my favorite and longest running chapo bit
I played this on Patreon and when it finished Trueanon’s Gooning episode autoplayed but it did not switch the photo. So I was just staring at the guy in your image art, probably the future mayor of NYC, and thinking he was the poster child of today’s Gooners.
Some of y'all treat the Tisch thing like it's a Platner tattoo-level scandal. Pipe down, vote Zorhan in and then pressure him to replace her. This is not a difficult decision at this stage of the game.
Ew.
Fucking yawn. Another dsa liberal destined to betray us to be a career politician. DSA is not what building a working class party looks like.
Agreed
Does Zohran condemn the Big Shell Incident?
That To Live And Die In L.A. needledrop for combat was perfect.
I assume he'll get assimilated into the political machinery, given how powerful his opponents are, but I do hope that when the NYPD starts bickering with him people remember that he's Palestinian and the NYPD's relationship with Israel makes them accomplices to mass murder
He’s not Palestinian.
Q: How big are your zio particles?
I appreciate Will somewhat probing him on Tisch, though I don’t agree with the answer
He does have to make it seem like he's not defunding the police. Coming out and saying that has tanked NYC political careers. The NYPD is insanely corrupt but at the same time public reception of them is high. He's going to have to be creative with how he deals with them.
WHAT IS ZOHRAN'S OPINION ON THE DENG REFORMS
The Z man himself
He’s so cool.
If he promises to sell Staten Island to New Jersey he could walk into the Governor’s mansion too
Please Zohran don't go down the DSA-Loser pipeline
What does this mean?
Tisch is from a mob connected billionaire family. I can’t blame Zohran for not wanting to take on that fight yet.
From the black block capital of Commiefornia the league of antifa super soldiers is ready to celebrate the imminent rise of the NYC caliphate inshallah
Nobody should be a Knicks fan, pathetic and toxic franchise. Will and Mamdani probably clap for Melo when they show him on the monitor.
They legit have one good player and everyone acts like this is some kind of super team.
Yayyyyy dad’s back ❤️
I wonder if he's gonna get a call from Jeffries Tuesday night
hoping Cuomo comes out with with full long beard/no moustache look like he’s just come from Dagestan inshallah
Am I crazy or did he say the NYPD is underfunded?
He said law department—lawyers
Did not like his answer on Tisch but hopefully he’s able to override her and reign her in. She’s a fanatical Zionist and that can’t all be placed on Adams!
First time he’s seemed a bit inauthentic to me tbh
Hell yeah let's GO
I hope this is only with Matt. And it’s all poems as questions.
Becoming the mayor of New York shall thee if thou can answer my riddles three
Mamdani gives me hope that us midwesterners get our very own goyslop version in 15-20 years when the culture catches up
We are within a hair's breadth of electing a socialist to Cleveland city council next week. He will not be able to do anything cool but he'll be there.
Pokémamdani go to the polls.
Any likelihood Kat Abughazaleh might appear on the pod? She’s running for Congress in Chicago (maybe Felix’ old home district?) and Trump is pressing charges against her for protesting ICE
She’s north side Felix was Hyde Park about 40 minutes south
Will really should have spent the entire 17 minutes asking follow-up questions about Mamdani’s disdain for parades. Big mistake.
Z(ionist)ohran Mamdonothini will just be an other liberal by the end of his term. But fr I hope he wins and does as much as he can to make the city more affordable and safer for the people (by cracking down on nypd perpetrated violence)
Bad Empanada fan account^
south asian century of excellence
Andrew Cuomo is going to stamp himself into a chasm like Rumpelstiltskin when Mamdani wins and I can’t wait to see it.
Swooning and gooning
Good, you pushed him.
Can’t wait to see his vision of New Islamabad
I like to imagine Mayor Mamdani deputizes a bunch of podcasters from Brooklyn to arrest Netanyahu. Imagine Chapo with a bunch a tactical gear making a video hauling off Netanayhu like a Bukele/cecot video.
Because we KNOW the NYPD won't arrest their friends from that training/vacation that time.
I can't wait to get home and listen to this. I hope you guys can trick him into talking about Metal Gear Solid
My favorite desperate attack ad was the one where the Muslims for Cuomo guy was mad at Zohran for not wanting to implement Sharia law then accused him of being a secret Hindu
There was a really funny one where they edited a picture of him to darken his skin and thicken his beard, it was like Cuomo was pushing a little slider in a photo app labeled SWARTHIFY
Zogslave Mamdanjew
I canvassed for the first time in my life for Zohran last night. I’m picking up campaign poster for him as I type this. I can’t fucking wait to call this guy my mayor.
Please NYC vote for this dude. “Do not let perfection be the enemy of good” zohran is working in the context of this insane political environment. He can mean a lot going forward.
No he can’t.
Great interview Will
Really impressed by Will here. You could tell he didn’t want to press him about Tisch (killing the homie vibe) but he did. Good on him!!
went to one of the bangladeshi restaurant in my brooklyn neighborhood yesterday and there was a zohran poster on the window. made me feel so good. AND the kati roll whipped ass
Zohran being so chapo coded He had poor audio
he was on the majority report yesterday I think and his call dropped after like 3 minutes lmao
LETS GOOOO!
“Monday’s the one day you can’t vote” lmaoooo
Please don’t reply to “Archaic Hombre” in the comments. He is a mentally delayed southern man and it’s best to ignore his quirk-maxxing attempts. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I love you guys
This campaign has given me 2015 levels of hope.
Yeah, I soyfaced when I saw this.
I may be a midwestern whiteboy but Zohran is my mayor
We are all voting for you dawg. Go do Maddow or something
Oh shit
pimp
OMG
Who’s this?
Tuned into this while also scarfing down a Panera tomato soup. It’s an omen of something
last few months before the islamic people’s republic of new york, soak it in folx
Hell yes dude
Hell yeah
Whoa.
NEVER CLICKED SO FAST IN MY LIFE
Had let my subscription run out, but I immediately renewed when I saw the alert lol
The cuomentum on Polymarket is trading like a shitcoin
Thirds day
Third
Zohran for America
It feels like yesterday y'all interviewed him the first time. Good luck and keep up the good work!
First wow this never happens to me
By the hair of your taint
