Kareem Rahma and Andrew Kuo devised “Subway Takes” to solicit controversial opinions on the train, like why men should sit to pee, Dan Greene writes.
Rahma, who had on Army-green basketball shorts and a navy button-down, was driving from his apartment, in Bed-Stuy, to Williamsburg, where a handful of opiners—some friends, some friends of friends—would join him and his film crew on the L train. Since the podcast caught on, well-known personalities have begun appearing on it—Olivia Wilde, Charli XCX, a few Brooklyn Nets. But Rahma turns down the majority of publicists’ requests. “This show isn’t about ‘talent,’ ” he said. “It’s about the take.
Next, the comic Alec Flynn, in a Cranberries T-shirt, argued that men should be permitted to claim to be bisexual as casually as women do. Rahma was unsure of his own stance here. “I have no idea what the hell you’re talking about,” he said. Up next: Zohran Mamdani, a thirty-two-year-old state assemblyman from Queens. “Eric Adams is a terrible mayor,” he said. Rahma agreed, with élan, as Mamdani expounded on problems with the city’s rent commission, vender licensing, and utilities.
