Our interview with Zohran Mamdani is relentless. Zohran—a politician running to be the next mayor of New York City—took time out of his extremely busy schedule to check in with us on the first suit he ever bought from an illegal street fair, reviewing the gametape from the first debate and the bars he left in the chamber, hilarious and pointed criticism of Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams, addressing NYC’s affordability crisis plus we have some policy recommendations for him, he’s not hiding a child, his coalition is a movement that will accept you with open arms, a quick game of choice rank voting some of the city’s most iconic nuisances, assuming he wins will he stay in Queens or post up in Gracie Mansion, if he drops an inshallah you already know he’s punting, a certain opponent’s rumored nipple piercings and confirmed campaign finance missteps, knowing the difference between lecturing and listening is how you bring voters back into the tent, so-called radical ideas are actually necessary and achievable and he can back it up despite the criticisms of his lack of experience, a fair weather Knicks fan state of the union, as a rapper himself what MCs he thinks might make good mayors, our mutual friend Heems actually got him into politics, what his filmmaker mother thinks of his social media, even if you’re running for office and you have no free time you still have the dulcet tones of Rae Sremmurd, unwinding with the other Mark Walberg on Temptation Island and much more on Zohran Memdani’s interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.
