Most Chinese use fake "Hell" money in red envelopes during the Lunar New Year. NOT real cash given to people to buy their cooperation.

“Just a little bit outside…”

He was so good at making fun of himself, and I loved it when his anecdotes about his days as a player would make his color guy laugh so hard he couldn’t speak. He could tell the same story 50 times, and it was always funny. His friendship and on-air rapport with Robin Yount was pure hilarity.

They say everyone has a price, but I'd like to think my price is higher than $160.

My shocked face that a corrupt mayor would employ corrupt people who try to gotcha reporters with chip bags full of cash. The only real scandal here is that it was so little.

She probably kept almost all of it for herself.

$160 isn't even what Adams pretends to pay for a shoeshine.

Every time someone has delivered my bribe in a potato chip bag I always found it oily, and covered in salt.

Honestly you could just bribe me with chips. I’m an easy sell.

This is the greatest joy of living in New York. It makes up for all the noise, filth and privileged rich people. You never know when some totally off the wall story will crop up. The Herr's Sour Cream and Onion flavored potato chip bag with the crumpled top and the red envelope with money inside is such a New York twist. The only thing that I will miss about Mayor Adams is that his administration has been an excellent source of New York stories. Long live Pizza Rat! (not an Adams reference, Pizza Rat is the patron saint of New York stories)

Ta, Robyn. I've been vegan for so long that I've never had sour cream and onion chips, which sound disgusting. I'm also old enough to remember party dip (for plain potato chips) made from sour cream and Lipton onion soup mix. IIRC, I had one bite of that dip, a chemical cocktail if ever there was one.

We can safely assume that anyone working for Adams is sleazy and ethically challenged. May he and Cuomo rot.

They're not terrible if you ever have the chance, but for sure a little goes a long long way.

Alex Jones Warns Trump’s Cankles ‘Collapse’ Is Imminent

"Trump is like a “light bulb starting to go out,” Jones went on.

“I’ve seen a lot of signs of Trump declining,” he said. “And so he’s on a lot of the time, but like a light bulb is starting to go out. It gets brighter, it gets dim; it goes in and out.”
