I mean, I went to...
You went to the White House, okay?
I went to the White House.
I was going to tell you I went to Duane Reade.
But both of them are true.
Okay, let's start on the Duane Reade.
Okay, start on the Duane Reade.
We went in there, pick up something from the apartment.
This guy in front of us has a pack of condoms and breath mints.
And he turns around and he goes, Mr. Mayor.
And he looks at my wife and he goes, Mrs. Mayor.
And that's our experience now at Duane Reade.
Yeah, and...
That's life in Astoria.
Oh, the condoms had...
I don't know.
He was like, Mr. Mayor, I'm about to lose my virginity.
He left it at that.
I would like you to know I'm about to become a man.
He just gave the titles.
What does this last year feel like?
And what has the adjustment been like?
I mean, it's...
To be honest with you, I haven't spent all that much time reflecting on it.
You should have.
Because it's so go, go, go.
You should just work a lot.
Have you checked the Reddit?
You sound like the inner voice.
Is there a Zoran Momdani Reddit?
I don't know. Is there?
Probably. Don't check it, though.
No.
Yeah, just don't read the comments.
No, I always forget to put the extra slash R when I'm typing in the URL, so I
don't even...
What is it like?
You go to the White House, right?
You take a selfie on a plane.
Yeah.
No caption.
That is like Drake vibes a little bit.
Hit the emoji, though.
You hit the emoji.
Come on.
You know where I was going.
What are you thinking about the plane?
What are you thinking?
What's the game plan there?
Honestly, I knocked out on the plane.
You slept.
Slept.
It's a 30-minute flight.
I mean, you looked like...
You looked a little bit like...
That was the joke on the internet.
I don't know if I can make these jokes.
You look a little bit like you took the edible...
You hit the nothing.
You can say it.
You look a little bit like you hit the edible before the flight.
Why would you say that?
You didn't know it was 30 minutes.
I'm sorry, Mr. May.
Why would you say that?
I don't know.
I apologize.
You walk in...
Did he give you a tour of the White House?
He gave me a tour of...
What was the weirdest thing he showed you?
The Oval Office and the Cabinet Room.
What's that word?
He had to have shown you one thing weird.
I mean, he showed me the portraits of all the presidents in the Cabinet Room.
Yeah, he saved the FDR for you.
The FDR was beautiful.
It was really nice.
And we talked about FDR for a little bit.
And honestly, you don't have the LaGuardia record if you don't have FDR.
Yeah.
But we talked about that.
I walked in.
First, you get there and it's just you alone and there are two people guiding
you through
to get to the Oval Office.
They want you to see this room and that room.
And then I sit down.
I'm just waiting for the time of the meeting and in front of me are like all
these different
coffee table books.
And one of them is UFC at the White House.
Oh, yeah.
He's bringing it there, right?
I had no idea, but I was just flipping through that.
And so you saw like guys fighting each other?
No, it was just a visualization of what the octagon is going to be.
Yeah, it's going to look like that.
Are you going to go?
No.
Can I ask you a question?
How did you not laugh?
When the 135?
How did you keep the face when during the press conference?
Oh.
Because we were all dying.
And I'm like, my boy, Zoran, was like just straight face.
He said, just tell me this.
Yeah.
How did you keep that face?
Honestly, I was just thinking about New York City.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like the whole time I was trying to think about the difference
between if you
have a White House that is working towards an affordability agenda or one that's
making
it harder to live in the city.
Yeah.
That's kind of what kept coming through the mind.
Do you feel like as if, you know, the president sees your popularity, you know?
He loves the ratings, ton of reporters.
He sees these, I think, handsome.
I think he thought handsome.
Did you have your eyes up here, Mr. President?
You were elected because you were trusted on your policies for affordability.
Do you think he's maybe a little bit trying to, like, swagger Jack a little bit?
You know, I actually think there's, there are a lot of places of disagreement
with the
president.
I think one of the things that was remarkable to me is I told him that, you
know, our campaign
started on October 23rd of last year.
But the moment when a lot of people, or not a lot of people, some people
started paying
attention was after he won the presidency.
We did the video on Fordham Road, Hillside Avenue.
Yeah.
We talked to Trump voters and we asked them why they voted for him.
And it just went back to cost of living and it went back to cheaper groceries.
Yeah.
And that was a lot of our campaign.
And he, he liked that it was one in 10, right?
That's like, he liked.
Yeah, one in 10.
He liked.
And it was, I mean, did you see the guy who has the MAGA from Amdani hat?
Yeah, yeah.
And then he did the...
How'd that feel?
The MAGA from Amdani?
Kind of badass.
It was wild.
It was wild.
I remember we were going to step, I was going to step on, sound like such a
puzzle, everything
is we.
I was going to step on the stage at Forest Hills where we were doing our rally.
Did you think it was a prank?
Well, I had a member of the NYPD pull me aside and they're like, I just want
you to know
that there is a man in your line of sight with a red MAGA hat, we checked and
he's actually
sincerely here for the rally.
Oh, nice.
So you really had to bring it.
You had to do a Trump style rally for him.
You had to really do, you had to do YMCA, you know, this guy's accustomed to
some wild
rallies.
This guy's accustomed to a stadium full of, uh...
Yeah, it was just me and Al Visgar church.
Yeah.
And somebody from MTV Lebanon.
Did you expect him to like you as much as he did?
I, I was trying to prepare for a lot of different situations.
I know.
It's like when you're on that plane taking that selfie, I mean, that could have
gone
any, that could have gone in any direction.
I mean, like, did that feel best case scenario or like, were you like...
It honestly felt like the most productive meeting we could have had.
Yeah.
I mean, a meeting where we talked about Ulerp, we talked about, you know,
groceries, con
ed, rent, childcare, that feels like the best meeting you could have.
Yeah.
Were Eric or Donald Jr. there?
No.
Did you worry that, like, to see that was maybe difficult for them?
No, I wasn't thinking about that.
Maybe he's like, the hang has just been so bad.
This cool guy came and he's like, now I have to go back to these guys.
Did he say, can you, can you sleep over?
Did he come up to New York and see you?
He didn't, he didn't ask me that.
Oh, man.
I mean, it was one of the most surreal things we've ever seen as Americans.
Robin Van Persie against Charlton, baby.
What's the score?
3-1.
What?
Fuck!
Who scored?
For Charleston from halfway line.
Oh, did he do the pigeon from halfway line?
No, dude.
He was being weird about it.
He scored from the halfway line?
Yeah, he chipped Ryan.
What?
He's off his line?
Yeah.
It wasn't right at his fault.
It was honestly just a great play for men.
Why would you say that?
Because they're not a threat.
They're not a threat.
That's famous last words.
What's this time?
Okay.
73rd.
What time is it right now?
74th minute now.
What time is it?
102.
Did you watch the 4-4 Arsenal-Newcastle?
Yeah, we talked about it.
It was the worst day of my life.
This is an interesting moment for us because we have like an opportunity to
have like a snapshot
of you after an historic election and prior to the assumption of one of the
most powerful positions in America.
Co-host of the show.
Co-host of the Adam Freedom Show.
Yeah.
What made you run for mayor?
Like what made you decide to run for mayor?
I think one of the things was that I was very frustrated with the fact that
Eric Adams,
who was at that point running for re-election, was making it more expensive to
live in New York City
in clear ways that he had direct control over and then pretending like he was
just a bystander.
He would write a letter in support of Con Ed when they want to increase gas and
electric by more than 60 bucks a month.
He would raise the rent more than 12%.
He would increase the water bill.
He would...
But like the conditions for you, I mean...
I mean for me...
You're like this is the time I'm going to run for mayor.
I think the thinking was that I wanted to make a case specific about cost of
living.
Yeah.
And there were a lot of people who looked at kind of the swing of our politics
and thought
that the only way to beat someone heading towards the right is to head towards
the right yourself.
And you felt like you were to win?
I felt like I had a 3% chance of winning.
Yeah.
And that's probably giving me an extra two points.
Did you...
Was there someone that you spoke to who said don't run?
Oh, tons.
Tons.
Did your girl say that?
No.
My wife.
Your wife.
Yeah.
I mean she's still your girl.
She's always going to be your girl.
Did your wife...
She said run?
She was down for it.
That was the final decision that we had.
You're allowed.
Is she mad at you for working so much?
No.
She gets on you?
She is a little bit.
She what?
Is she a little bit?
She gets...
No, but it's annoying for her.
A little bit.
She lets you work so much?
Mine doesn't.
This is all permission given.
Mine doesn't.
No, but I think to be honest with you, it's...
To meet someone in one stage of your life...
Yeah.
And then...
To have your life and their life transform...
Yeah.
What it also...
Just like the level of love and support it takes from someone...
Yeah.
I mean, I would not be able to do this without her.
She gets mad at you for working too much.
That's not what I said.
I feel like...
I feel like...
I looked into your eyes.
I see a fellow...
A fellow brother.
What was the moment you knew you'd win?
For the primary?
No, no.
The primary and the general, I suppose.
I think I have two questions.
You know, the...
There isn't like a single moment.
Yeah.
There is...
The funny thing to me is that in both...
Of the elections from 6 to 9 p.m.
I thought I was going to lose.
Of election day.
Because there was like bad exit polling?
In the general, there was a rumor at around 6 o'clock that there were two major
news networks
that had bad exit polls and that showed Cuomo with an advantage.
He started that rumor?
Well, no, it was bad.
I mean, definitely worked.
Ruined my night.
He was doing that.
Ruined my night.
Primary?
I remember Kevin Elkins.
How did you fall for that?
I'm such a mark of this stuff.
