Forty-two years ago, Brian Mór and I rented a sign in Times Square during the Christmas season to send a holiday greeting to IRA prisoners of war. For one day, it went viral—back when “viral” meant print newspapers and local TV. There were no links to click, no shares or forwards. You either bought the paper the next day or happened to be watching at the exact moment the story aired.
Now, thanks to the producers of the documentary NORAID: Irish America and the IRA, which aired on RTÉ in July, that moment will live on forever. The idea that two friends, sitting on a blarney stone in Times Square, could provoke condemnation from the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and the U.K. ambassador to the U.S. made Christmas 1983 one to remember. @kareem @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @irish4zohran @matthewfischetti @rogerclark41 @jamjgo @branno_dublin @pushpull_pushpull @ernieomalleys

On Sunday at 11am on WBAI, John Lee, producer of the podcast Irish Stew, and Mick Mellamphy, actor and writer, will join me to discuss their sold-out show at O'Malley's about Terry Galway’s new book, Terror From America. I’ll then close out the show with Nepalese Yellow Cab driver Khakendra Pun, who is featured this week in the hit YouTube series Keep the Meter Running, produced and hosted by Kareem Rahma of Subway Takes. @keepthemeterrunnin @kareem @jackfidler28 @madyson.hearsh @adamfaze @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @ernieomalleys @irishstewpodcast @mickmellamphy @writerkhakendrapun @wbainyc

If my @subwaytakes take came out today I would be spending the weekend in Rikers Island. @subwaytakes @kareem @keepthemeterrunnin @adamfaze @jackfidler28 @madyson.hearsh @anthonydimieri

Has everyone at the New York Post lost their minds, or is it just a slow Memorial Day weekend for news? Kareem is welcome to sit on our Queens stoop anytime. Does nobody understand comedy and sarcasm anymore? @kareem @subwaytakes @keepthemeterrunnin @adamfaze @jackfidler28 @madyson.hearsh @matthewfischetti @nypost @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @madd.en @christopher_desimone @realchihuahuas_ofnyc @gurleyflynnsociety

When I did my “Fit Check” at the premiere for Keep the Meter Running at the Metrograph in the Lower East Side, @i_d Magazine sent out the Fashion Police to have me arrested for crimes against humanity. I am now on the run, dodging Vogue SWAT teams through the streets, and hiding out at T.J. Maxx. I will not be taken alive. @keepthemeterrunnin @kareem @adamfaze @jackfidler28 @madyson.hearsh @anthonydimieri @lovenewyorkfilm @newyorknico @nrips @madd.en @vivienne_in_nyc @vivford @nymag @studiodonegal

I will be performing my new play Taxi 2 TikTok as a fundraiser for The Fortune Society— an organization dedicated to helping formerly incarcerated people rebuild their lives and thrive as positive, contributing members of society.
The play features stories that didn’t make it into my last show, along with the unbelievable tale of how 3 NYC influencers turned my life upside down through Subway Takes, a New York Knicks ad campaign, and even a political ad for the future Mayor of NYC.
Come see the play, hear the stories, have a few laughs, and support an organization that is truly making a difference in people’s lives. @fortunesociety @kareem @adamfaze @jackfidler28 @madyson.hearsh @anthonydimieri @butlikesrsly @keepthemeterrunnin @lovenewyorkfilm @newyorknico @ribert6060 @wbainyc @nrips @gurleyflynnsociety @madd.en

I went from the Malachy McCourt room at O'Malley's on 27th Street to the hottest party in NYC at the Boom Rooftop Bar at the Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District — and somehow ended up covering it all for the fashion magazine I-D. From old-school Irish New York to Westside cool in one night. @kareem @adamfaze @jackfidler28 @madyson.hearsh @keepthemeterrunnin @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @i_d @nrips @ernieomalleys @madd.en @edgnycstories @epsteinandhassan @schweppestein @gurleyflynnsociety

All the world’s a Cab,
And all the men and women merely passengers;
They have their exits and their entrances;

It’s not often Yellow Cabbies are treated like one of New York City’s true treasures — but that’s exactly what happened Thursday night at the premiere of the YouTube TV series Keep the Meter Running, produced and hosted by Kareem Rahma.
The evening began at the Metrograph movie Theatre in the Lower East Side , where a pristine 1982 Checker Cab sat outside like a movie star, posing for pictures under the lights. Inside was a who’s who of Saturday Night Live, Comedy Central, actors, models, and even Midori Valdivia Commissioner of the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission .The Q&A was hosted by comedian Ramy Youssef.
Then came the important question: how do you transport 300 thirsty party animals to the after-party at the rooftop Boom Club at The Standard, High Line in the Meatpacking District?
No problem — 20 Yellow Cabs were lined up outside waiting to shuttle the crowd crosstown in style.
We arrived to find six glamorous models greeting guests with trays of champagne flutes. Two famous DJs blasted music completely unknown to me — but apparently beloved by everyone under the age of 40.
As the clock struck 1 a.m., I performed the classic Irish Goodbye and this Cinderella Cabbie headed back to Queens.
Later, lying in bed staring at the ceiling, I found myself humming "Once in a Lifetime" by David Byrne and Talking Heads:
"You may ask yourself, ‘What is that beautiful house?’
You may ask yourself, ‘Where does that highway go to?’
And you may ask yourself, ‘Am I right? Am I wrong?’
And you may say to yourself, ‘My God… what have I done?’” @kareem @keepthemeterrunnin @adamfaze @jackfidler28 @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @ribert6060 @madd.en @madyson.hearsh @krismerc @lovenewyorkfilm @butlikesrsly @i_d @nrips

“All the world’s a stage,” and somehow this old Yellow Cab driver ended up on one with Kareem Rahma at the Abrons Arts Center at the Henry Street Settlement.
Coming soon to YouTube: “Keep the Meter Running” — proof that if you stay in New York long enough, eventually somebody hands you a microphone instead of a fare. @kareem @adamfaze @keepthemeterrunnin @anthonydimieri @newyorknico @madd.en @jackfidler28 @i_d @ribert6060 @royalpiper1 @ernieomalleys
