Are we implying the real place Transylvania was invented by Bram Stoker?
It just took all of my willpower to not sing "T***sy Baby" to the tune of a Santa Baby while walking my dog.
There are 8 defunct baseball teams called the Citizens, and 2 defunct baseball teams called the Mayors: The Ionia Mayors, a Central League minor league baseball team that existed from 1921-1922, and the Jackson Mayors in 1921, which I think might have been the same team but before they slightly relocated. Sadly, there is probably not much merch available, since both Mayors teams are from the 1920s, and all the Citizenses are from the 1920s-1950s
He called the city his wife... The dead one, or is his second marriage to the city?
"His second wife died." The CITY?!
While listening to this episode, my weakness for old-timey American nonsense made me think that you could probably make a fun episode out of not-technically-mayor Mayor Thomas Morton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Morton_(colonist)
Also thank you for making me laugh about “transy grandma” all the way up the hill to my house, not realizing I was accidentally looking straight at my neighbor who was sitting in his car, and who, from his perspective, must have thought his weird transy neighbor was maniacally laughing and smiling at him while walking directly towards him, before picking up a bag of cat shit next to his car on the sidewalk and walking away. I love to leave an impression.
Do….do they know about transy house

Excellent progress, just keep moving forward! 🔥
ok, someone tell me I'm not the only homosexual in here who only knows about the Columbian Exhibition because of "Come On! Feel the Illinoise!" (Part I: "The World's Columbian Exposition" / Part II: "Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream") by Sufjan Stevens
NOVA PLEASE TRY BERGER COOKIES FROM BALTIMORE MARYLAND.
I'm wondering if you can manage an episode on a random small town mayor. do Cliff Berry Jr. of Tiptonville TN, for no other reason than because I used to live there and I'm curious what dirt you could pull on or around the guy. like the prank war between the sheriff and one of the 3 attorneys in town (the attorney fell asleep during Active Court and the sheriff took a picture of him and then printed that picture out to stick to the courtroom door. ACAB btw)
also his name makes him sound like a woodland gnome creature
Prendergast is very much an alive name. The fly half for the Irish Rugby Union team is Sam Prendergast. Quite the name to get your mouth around when you’re a commentator
Just an amazing episode! An incredible opening divergent tangent & then the actual mayor kept me on the edge of my seat! Well Done & Go Transy Pioneer Woman!
Riley, my guy...why are you in Berlin for Easter Weekend? You must know what goes on over Easter Weekend...*dog_raising_eyebrow.jpg*
More like Rocks-off-fella, amirite
What rough Italian slouches towards Gracie Manor to be mayor?
Transsilvania University after Dracula cones out truly asking the question "why should we change, he's the one who sucks"
I find it hilarious that they had an entire tangent about Transylvania University. I went to college in the same city that it's located and it's a pretty good school. Also, it's named after the Transylvania purchase which was one of the first attempts to permanently colonize Kentucky. Transy was also the sight of a book heist that was made into a movie that was screened at Sundance.
Hearing Riley plead to get back on track with "please, I have a booking at the sauna" is v much giving "hall of famer Whitey Ford on the field, pleading with the crowd for some kind of sanity." Uh oh, a barrage of Transy merchandise knocking Riley unconscious. This is a dark day for podcasting.
We can call em Riley Wackers!
Mattie I’m sorry I speak French well enough to get excited about a crow stalking a man, and not well enough to be familiar with this turn of phrase for harassment
Blue laws are about all sorts of immoral activities, not just drinking. For example, in Minnesota all the car dealerships are closed on Sundays by law.
Hell yeah, time to listen to this one 3x in a row
Shout out to the actual signature Maryland cookie, the Berger’s cookie
Transylvania College has some amazing dual-enrollment programs with Tremere University, I hear. Not on good terms with the Saulot Institute for Higher Education, though, which is a shame.
Was always more of a vampire the requiem girlie anyway
Maryland is lovely, it’s where Appalachia meets the Chesapeake ❤️

I found the beautiful woman named COGIATI because of this episode and it felt like taking an autism test and I scored almost 200 points. Unrelated I'm going to find out how to make estrogen from simple ingredients in my home
God damn I just listened to the Host ep of Dead Meat immediately before loading this ep and there's a Kang Ho Song reference
Onsenschebatt, the German onsen purity law
Only three ingredients allowed, water, heat, naked genitals
I thought there was going to be some Maryland slander for a moment. Thankfully all we got was Nova saying is waiting to be disappointed. As a Maryland native, I'll let that slide. However, there's still a small penalty. No Old Bay for Nova until she says something nice about The Old Line State. It can as small as comment on the "Surrender Dorothy" graffiti on a the Beltway overpass with the Mormon temple in the background. Or how Maryland crab cakes are delicious. She could insult one of our many corrupt governors. Then we turn the Old Bay tap back on. The ball is in your court, Ms Kelly.
Weren't the corpses closed into the abandoned row houses with a screw gun
honestly the dr. pepper strawberries and cream goes insane, so i am not surprised that the pepsi is also good.
Effin' vampires, always spending the night in places

Re: tu prof: „it‘s pronounced fronk-n-steen…“
Speaking of Cleveland Mayors, you should check out one of Cleveland's weirdest guys Dennis Kucinich https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Kucinich?wprov=sfla1 , he had a weird mayorality and an even weirder post mayorality.
You mean American Sex Symbol Dennis Kucinich?
I’m so here for the Baltimore intro. Big ups for the Kinetic Sculpture Race shout-out, my highschool had a shop class dedicated to participating in it every year
Need T-shirts that say The Boy Mayor of Omelas
I love treat update.
The name of the Transylvanian team would obviously be the “Impalers”
Kentucky on their mind . Nothing on my mayor , Weddle watchers Rise up !
I think Nova will be pleased to know the Transylvania campus has a listing for "Transy Police Department"
Seeing an episode photo like that really makes one want to go “hyaaah!”
riley kidnapped by the berlin gender mafia for refusing to transgend 😔
I'm beginning to believe that The Order is a secret society of mayoral scholars that is guiding your hands from behind the scenes.
As a trans woman living in the UK, when I'm sad I go to Northern Europe! There's a nice little cafe in Stockholm that does really good vegan meetballs! And Copenhagen is full of gorgeous 1.94m men who are emotionally challenged but FW the dolls! But even tho I'm not polyamorous, I am going to move to Berlin. It's been my escape plan for a while, now I have to put it into action
Packing my bags, moving to Fuck City, running for Mayor
lol I thought I’d missed two previous episodes on this guy
🚨 Baltimore mention 🚨 time to do a show on one of our city’s totally normal and not corrupt mayors
Gotta get a guest with the accent.
Niche but relevant joke: Édes Erdély itt vagyunk!

consider doing an episode on any of the five consecutive french presidents who had served as mayors prior to their presidencies (giscard d'estaing, mitterand, chirac, sarkozy, hollande) also, from what i gather from the flap24/7 podcast, anne hidalgo plays the same role in the internal politics of the nfp as starmer in corbyn's labour
im thinking about the shaving a guy to get him to vote twice thing, and its making me think very strongly about a sort of mayoral barbershop
Speaking of Berlin, there is a treasure trove of insane and cursed mayors!
The only way to Mayordom is dead man's boots
Mattie gets so mad when Riley calls Municipal Roundup "Municipal Update" but when she calls it that nobody else even notices.
Maryland cookies are actually named for the Maryland roundabout and train station in Stratford
Awww cute!
also how do you spell that test i gotta google? that sounds like a beautiful Linda's last name?
It’s COGIATI! It’s so bad, but a trans internet historical relic nonetheless. This was the first time I ever heard anyone pronounce it (I think?) and it really does sound like a beautiful Italian Linda’s last name!
Nova is correct about pepsi
his name is my name too!
