It's got to be the slice.

Without a doubt.

And more than that.

Remember, for me, it had to be with the anchovies.

I'm a big anchovy guy myself.

Because I would carry a little tin around with the key, open it up, and gross people out.

Because about a third of the population, when they even see... an anchovy.

Okay.

I watched it.

They love this spin.

You know, he calls it the weave.

He actually has a word for it.

I weave in and out.

And somehow he tried to conflate gas prices, diesel prices with bombing L.A. and San Diego.

Now...

Okay.

Do you think Mamdani is doing a good job as mayor?

I would say at this point, we're not a year into it, we have a term in Italian that you can't understand, mezzo, mezzo, poco, poco, which means half and half.

Okay.

A lot of what he does, I do not at all concur.

I don't like what's happening with the homeless, the emotionally disturbed.

He's doing a horrible job with that.

But no politician has ever addressed that.

You're just not as good at it as the others.

And, but you actually sat down, held hands with him, and got your flu shot with the mayor of New York City.

Hey, look, I was a little nervous.

I was shaking there.

You know, tough guys, if they see blood or they see a needle, sometimes they faint.

I didn't wanna faint.

That would've been so embarrassing.

So he said, "I'll hold your hand." And I thought of The Beatles.

Is, is he on speed dial now in your phone? Like, you call him all the time?

[laughs]

I said, "Do I have to actually use this plunger and come out here where the sewers are?" By the way, for those of you who are not cognoscente as I am about the streets-

[laughs]

But anyway, yeah.

It forces the mayor, who had to address that, and he came up with his analytics at a press conference and he said, "Well, we've actually cleaned 4,852 sewers." I said, "My quan ami, when have you done this?"

Okay.

I mean, that was like one of the greatest videos of all time.

But Chris Martin is always wearing a shirt with a Palestinian flag on it and riffing about the plight of the Palestinians.

And other artists have done that on a regular basis.

So Macklemore is chosen by Ed Sheeran.

I always mispronounce it.

I call him Sheeran.

By the way,

Mm-hmm.

It appears that if you're asking him not to be there, this is the first Muslim mayor of New York City.

What kind of a message does that send? Regardless of the fact of who he's associated with, whatever Hassan Piker has said about 9-11, America basically deserved it, although he amended that later.

No, he's the mayor.

You asked him? You brought a petition to him, please don't come.

And he said, no, as mayor, I will be there.

As far as I'm concerned, he handled it appropriately.

Yes.

What do you think the manosphere is?

The Manosphere is these macho, maniacal guys who walk around with testosterone crashing through their cranium, who degrade women whenever they have an opportunity to do it, which is privately and publicly.

Love to go to UFC fights, even though they wouldn't have the culions, the huevos, to get into the ring.

I feel that is beneath what people should be doing, UFC fights.

Come on, a guy's on the ground.

You're going to be stomping him.

I understand you've got to do that in the street to survive, but not in the octagon ring.

So do you think the world would be a better place if women ran things?

Okay, you wanna give me a hug?

No, no, no, no. [upbeat music] Adam Freeland Show.

All right.

Adam Freeland Show.

All right.

Adam Freeland Show.

I'm right here.

Up the river.

That's what I do.

After school, what did they do? They taught me this.

Like the chosen people, they went to the library, the blue-haired matron, and then once she credit- credited you, she took us into the back room.

And do you know what was the internet of my generation, the baby boomers? Black in the back, white print microfilm.

Microfilm.

Up the river.

"Or am I gonna follow the chosen people to the blue-haired matron," where I discovered microfilm.

And then when I would take a book out, I had to pedal immediately on my big Schwinn chea- uh, cheap bicycle to get that book back into the night depository, 'cause the next day, the old blue-haired matron [knocking]We come to your house without a warrant, wanna kick in the door.

... no, no, no, no, no, Curtis.

Again, if you want a clean bathroom, let me suggest to everybody out there, you identify as a woman and you go into the ladies' bathroom, 'cause that's what the law allows you to do.

But if you wanna be a real man, you gotta get in there.

[laughs]

I acknowledged it.

I didn't argue it.

I didn't fight it, and I'm just so happy.

Nate's the first to go.

Okay.

The head of Death Row Records, right? Oh, yeah.

Death Row.

What does that tell you right there? East versus West.

Remember Pete Diddy there? Oh, yeah, Pete Diddy with Biggie, right? Supposedly East Coast versus West Coast.

Death Row.

Snoop Doggy Dog, Dr. Dre.

Okay.

Mm-hmm.

She said, "You must go to confession.

You must confess to the priest on Saturday." I said, "Mom, I'm an A&P Catholic, ashes on, on Wednesday, palms on Sunday.

Uh, you won't see me for a month on Sundays.

I would need to find every priest in the United States, and they'd have to have a relay on Saturday because I have so much to confess." She says, "You must do this before you yourself pass into the hereafter." Now, nobody ever wants to make Mom feel bad, right? Mom, Mom, French

[laughs]

But because I gotta level the playing field, could be ashes to ashes, dust to dust for me at 72.

Rosie, wherever you are right now, I apologize wholeheartedly.

Yeah.

Now that they're like Ike and Mike, like heckle and jekle, like two peas in a pod.

What's up with this? They're at MetLife.

Cheapest ticket is $175.

What do they think? Their peeps are like rolling in dough.

Do they not realize the groceries have gone up like 35%? The gasoline is $4 a gallon.

What's up with that? They forget their peeps.

I don't.

Is it true that you officiated the first unofficial gay wedding in...

New York City.

You don't have to listen to me, because a lot of people, you're selling me wolf tickets.

Get out of here.

You did the first gay wedding in New York State? Yeah, 1977.

You don't have to listen to me.

Go to the Huffington Post.

I need to know.

What I don't see, Curtis, is a little Italy.

How is that possible? You mean Mulberry Street? You mean the San Gennaro Festival 12 days? You mean Christopher Columbus, right? All of that.

Well, look, this is Zoran.

He's like Trump.

He polarizes.

If you ain't with him...

Now, the mayor has said this is an oversight and it will be corrected.

I mean, that tells you something about the pop culture phenom that

Yeah.

Let, let me explain this.

He represents his union.

I, I'm down in the subways every day with his members.

They don't even know they represent these people in the horse carriage industry.

And number two, he's not the one stopping this.

He may be the bully threatening City Council, but the fake, phony, fraudulent forgays, these are the City Council members.

Curtis, I'll give you the last word.

I would imagine you've been a basketball fan longer than two weeks.

Sure.

I'm 72.

My first Knick game was in the old garden, 50th and 8th.

A buck 50 with a student government organization pass, and I got to see Wilt Chamberlain, San Francisco Warriors, take on the New York Knicks who were lowly at that time.

They were not championship caliber, but it was the thrill of my life at that time.

Imagine, for $1.50 now, Mark Simone, you couldn't get even an air sandwich.

Williams, drifting, sprinting

for space, in all kinds of trouble, putting it up for grabs, and he is up for it! He does it!

I would imagine you've been a basketball fan longer than two weeks.

Sure.

I'm 72.

They were not championship caliber, but it was the thrill of my life at that time.

I'm going to be a part of

that.

Oh, you are? I want you to be the mayor of this city.

We need you.

Oh, absolutely.

And I will then stop hating you.

Because right now, you know who's listening to me? Your wife.

But if you go number two, are you going to wash your hands?

But do you believe that intrinsically there is, the, the system is really flawed?

Well, Piers, let's look at California, home of Silicon Valley, where they're pushing AI, AI, AI to tabulate things within seconds.

The reason you delay a count in a state that still demands that everybody get a mail-in ballot, even if you don't want it, 19 million are sent out in a population of 40 million, which opens up the opportunity for these bundlers, these hustlers, and remember, Republicans have gone to jail for that in North Carolina, Democrats in New Jersey.

You're taking advantage.

They go into nursing homes.

They go into hospice.

They go into senior citizen homes.

Mm.

[laughs]

And he called us just a bunch of thugs in sneakers, and he wasn't gonna tolerate that, so he ordered the cops to arrest us.

The people were afraid of us, 'cause they, "Get out of here.

We're jaded and skeptical New Yorkers.

We gonna trust you just 'cause you're wearing that red beret or that red tam? No way." So it was damned if I did, damned if I didn't.

But-We were able to survive until another day and increasingly go- grow throughout the five boroughs.

And then eventually now, 47 years later, we're in 13 countries and 130 cities, all based on the same premise, volunteers, no weapons, no special powers or privileges, going out there protecting people who can't protect themselves.

Jesus.

Don't be glazing

me.

I hate you.

I loathe you.

I despise you and your entire ensemble.

It's an honor.

Because my wife, Nancy, does not listen to me.

Elvis, would you take a bullet for me? I'm like, I don't think so.

Maybe he should have sat this one

out.

My son was a Marine.

He led a mortar platoon in Syria fighting ISIS in 2018 and 2019.

And when these attacks on American service members in Syria were carried out by Iran and their proxies, my son was a target.

So...

This is a righteous war.

Eric,

uh hey now that it's all over let me ask you about this campaign first of all uh now obviously you could win you could out talk everybody in the race you got a much longer career resume than mamdani but they started this mantra he can't win curtis can't win curtis can't win they just drilled this into people i heard people start repeating it like it's true it was ridiculous how did that ever get started

but actually got started right after Andrew Cuomo tossed in the towel because he got so badly beaten in the primary that, if you remember, Mark, when he entered the race on March 1st, he was at 40% in the Democratic polls.

Zohan Mandami was last at 1%.

By the time of June 24th, they hadn't even counted the rank choice votes yet.

He lost by 13%.

And it was no mas, no mas.

Now, the big savior then was going to be Eric Adams.

How did they fall for this nonsense? They actually convinced themselves only he can win.
