Man, imagine being schizophrenic and the *mayor* is actually out to get you and is sending a boy army after your house

not one captain sunshine joke the whole episode. guy lives in a mansion full of boy vigilantes and everything

18:10 Wait, "municipal bar"? A bar that belongs to the city government?

He wasn't like a Podcaster at the time, but Spiritually Jessie "The Body" Ventura was a Podcaster coded mayor and then later governor

This guy sounds like a real… NIGHTMAYOR! Get it? Because of all the night raids, and the pedo stuff. It works on multiple levels.

Shout out to the editing from Sam and Mattie’s story pacing on this one, it has such a good arc to it. The wife reveal, the bleeping keeping up until Riley on-air discovers he’s dead, the energy from Nova and Riley keeping the momentum going full force through the stories, I’ve relistened to it like 4 times already because it’s just so good. Real rollercoaster of a man, an all-timer episode for sure

I just saw the Adams did memecoin rugpull for like 4 million bucks

Doing a reverse columbo "so your wife doesn't like you very much"

Well apparently as least one person tried to call him out on it https://magnoliatribune.com/2005/04/28/did_kim_wade_step_over_the_line/

My only experience with Jackson, Mississippi was at ATL when I sat in a terminal near 2 people who were waiting for a flight to Jackson. They both talked about how much they like to steal other people's Doordash orders. One said "If you can walk to the door, you can walk to the stove."

MSG is a salt, yes. Specifically, all glutamates are salts of glutamic acid.

I think you girls missed some bleeps around 59:50 Also re Higino Carneiro: History does not repeat itself but it is always faithfully translated to/from Portuguese

Okay but what became of the Boy Army? Is one of Jackson's most pressing issues roving bands of former child soldiers with sledgehammers?

Minnesota mentioned 🔥🔥🔥

Randall Dorn 💀

"cigars and single-malt" is so Reddit cringe, it sucks so bad, it's like if I got fired and I told everyone at the office "heccin cuddles with my puppers and cattos"

Frank Melton - sounds like one of those fancy regional hotdogs that Americans are so proud of

I may have the same kind of brain worms as November because I reacted almost identically to the news that the mayor's goons had MP5s specifically.

The current mayor of Belleville NJ strikes me as a podcast mayor. I know he's at least BEEN on podcasts. He spent a few months last year trying to gain clout off of giving the key to the city to My Chemical Romance.

in a Riley-esque moment, it took me a while to find the town of Nisswa because I kept spelling it like the salad

absolutely shocking that november knows random trivia about the pecadillos and personality of the King of Jordan, a man I have never thought about for more than 1 minute at a time

That one allegedly “good” trans joke SUCKS and anyone who finds it funny is a moron. Been a great litmus test for the idiot wokies in my life that will laugh at a disgusting and unfunny joke as long as it’s preceded by 30 seconds of disingenuous woke shit.

When I heard Nova say that Day 'N' Nite was a rap song from 10 yrs ago I stopped what I was doing (stocking shelves at work) to look it up cause I knew that was impossible so just to make everyone feel old: Day 'N' Nite by Kid Cudi? 16 yr old song

Strategic Arms Limitations Treaty [trans]

34:50 CROSSLINES BY ALEC KHAOLI MENTION????

OK big news for Vernon but is that AI Mecca or AI Mecha?

Riley 0 for 2 of pronouncing cities around me. Knee-swah. Gimme a break.

Imagine my disappointment when the intro banter was NOT concluded by saying that Matty climbs early in the morning because farts while doing it, like at yoga class.

I'm only realizing the next decade or so is going to be marked by an increasingly Podcaster Occupied Government

🚨 Baltimore mention 🚨 the mayortaculus has to have my city coming up soon right??

Note to self: eating while the girls are riffing about "the boys" and stopping the buses.

Start at paragraph 158: https://www.canlii.org/en/on/onmic/doc/2025/2025onmic4/2025onmic4.html tl;dr Peterborough, ON's council kicks off after a councillor said "well your wife said she'd lend me her pickleball paddle" (though she actually said that) A wonderful discussion of "what makes an a apology a non-apology?" and "is 'I'll carve you up like a turkey' a threat of physical violence?"

Ye Old Pickle Factory is actually the municipal liquor store and bar in Nisswa, MN. It doesn’t appear to have ever been a pickle factory. Here are theories about the name from a local paper: “I’ve heard – and it's not very exciting – there was a day, I think it was a Labor Day back in the mid-70s, when it was busier than heck in there and the phone kept ringing. The person who answered said, 'Pickle Factory,' so the person would hang up thinking it was a wrong number,” said Wayne Van Vliet, 28-year manager of The Pickle, from 1981-2009. Terry Wallin, Pickle manager for the past 10 years and a full-time employee since 1991, has heard other stories as well regarding how The Pickle got its name. One story says a grandpa told his grandkids he was going to The Pickle Factory, and they thought he was going to buy pickles. Yet another story says the bar was busy and someone said, “We're putting 'em in here like putting pickles in a jar.” “We avoided using 'Nisswa Municipal Liquor Store.' We used 'The Pickle.' It was catchy and people knew it. It was a fun place,” Van Vliet said, noting municipals once had a connotation of being expensive and not fun. Their purpose was to control the sale of alcohol, and making a profit for the city was supposed to be secondary.

Wait "Trent Lott"? Like Lott Dod from Star Wars? *Goes on wookiepedia* hmm, it doesn't say so, but it doesn't cite any other inspiration for his name. And the main Trade Federation guy, Newt Gunray is named after Newt Gingrich and Ronald Reagan (George wrote the first draft of the phantom menace in a haze after watching Newt Gingrich's "promise to america" speech), so all the Neimodians being named after turn of the millennium Republicans is possible

MSG *is* a salt. It is a sodium salt of glutamate. Source: Wookiepedia

Getting flashbanged by Cybersmith mention.

*Prrrrt*

I imagine the Mississippi DEA has planes specifically for intercepting Barry Seal.

Nisswa has a really good chocolate store

Regret to report that I also have an old pair of double monks that live in the back of my closet.
