Meeting Will Smith and Going Viral Confronting The Mayor of NYC w/Patrick Mock: #86 Part 1
Will and Norm welcome community activist and local Chinatown shop manager, Patrick Mock, who went viral for confronting de Blasio when the pandemic hit New York City. We dive into his upbringing and being a product of NYC Chinatown, which gave him the tenacity to start organizing efforts to help save struggling Chinatown businesses while also caring for the neighborhood’s most vulnerable residents during the pandemic. Mock was also nominated by Instagrammer New York Nico and led to a $50,000 grant from Google, presented by actor Will Smith on his Snapchat series “Will from Home.”
Smith also presented Mock with $10,000 from the Asian Americans for Equality organization to buy lanterns for the Light Up Chinatown initiative, Mock’s idea to have donors buy a personalized lantern to be strung and lit over Mott Street.

Customer Reviews
Breath of Fresh Air
Refreshing listening to such honest and unfiltered conversations across a range of diverse topics and personalities.
Most Underrated
Honest, Entertaining and Insightful! I discovered this podcast through a friend and they give such interesting perspectives. The topics are entertaining and engaging as they push through the noise. A couple of good listens is the one with the NYPD Sergeant giving a very transparent perspective on corruption in the underworld and from within in dangerous detail. Another interesting series was the conversation with the person caught on video going on a racist tirade but denied being a racist.
Awesome entertaining Podcast!
This great listen. I really enjoy all the diverse guests and conversations. The one with police corruption kept me on the edge of my seat. Wish there were more of those.
