The career politicians in Albany are the biggest whores in this state. I might be the only person sitting on this stage with the right experience to deal with them. —Kristin M. Davis For a New York governor, being involved with prostitution meant the end of a political career. But for one madam, it meant running for public office. Today's topic is not a trending article, but the Manhattan Madam, Kristin M. Davis, best known for being part of the New York prostitution scandal that ended Eliot Spitzer's governorship in 2008 and subsequently being an occasional candidate for statewide office. I reflect on her presence at a memorable moment in New York politics: the first 2010 gubernatorial debate. At this debate we see the rise of Andrew Cuomo, the current governor of New York, as well as the moment that made Jimmy McMillan of the Rent is 2 Damn High Party go viral through Autotune The News. Howie Hawkins, current Green Party nominee for president of the United States, also makes an appearance at this debate (though not in this podcast).Wikipedia editors who contributed the content that I read in this episode:-->JMyrleFullerTisane Yulun5566 31.55.110.35 -->Text from Wikipedia editors is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License

It's Donovan here bringing you today's topic: the Wikipedia article for Bill de Blasio, the 109th and current mayor of New York City. His article was trending a bit. It turns out that Bill is not short for William or Billiam. I get a little hung up on de Blasio-hater and seat-flipper Representative Max Rose. I respect your wrong opinion if you don't think that Rep. Rose is hot.Wikipedia editors who contributed the content that I read in this episode: -->Baker7771 DavidMCEddy KennethphsuLawrencekhoo LivinRealGüd Maximusveritas Midnightblueowl RichiekimRms125a@hotmail.comRsquire3 RuthfulbarbaritySunCrow Tktru Wikieditor19920 Wukai 108.41.0.123 188.176.129.120208.95.51.5332.218.46.44 68.175.28.169 -->Text from Wikipedia editors is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License

On the first episode of the Rabbit Hole Cycle, we peruse the Wikipedia article for Lauren Boebert, a conservative millennial and candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives who defeated an incumbent Republican congressman in what was seen as an upset victory. #SorryNotSorry for mispronouncing her name the whole time.

Welcome to the Rabbit Hole Cycle podcast! This is a podcast where we dive into the Wikipedia rabbit hole together. My name is Donovan, and much like Marie Kondo, I love mess, and that's why I'll be leading you into the ridiculousness of trending topics on Wikipedia every week! In this first season, I'll be focusing mostly on the 2020 election in the United States.
