    He has the tendency to say some pretty wacky shit.

    Like the time he encouraged people to "wring out" their despair while holding a literal sponge.

    Or the time he encouraged New Yorkers to outdoor dine with some really strange reasoning.

    Mayor Adams, on one benefit of outdoor dining:
    "You’re looking to date. You may drive by. You may see eye candy sitting down somewhere, you may want to park and come and slip them your number. Come have fun, man. Outdoor dining is the way to go."

    Eric Adams is just a really strange guy and also one of the most unpopular mayors in recent NYC history.

    Now a clip of him giving the weirdest response to the easiest question ever is going viral:

    When asked to describe his year in one word, he says two: "Uh, New York."

    "Ugh, New York"

    But then things get even stranger when he throws 9/11 into the mix.

    "This is a place where every day you wake up, you could experience everything from a plane crashing into our trade center to a person who’s celebrating a new business that’s opened," he continued. "This is a very, very complicated city, and that’s why it’s the greatest city on the globe."

    A plane crashing into the trade center makes NYC the greatest city on earth...?

    As this person said, "It's like an SNL skit with Tracy Morgan playing the mayor of NYC."
