The Marquis de Morès
This week, mayor Riley takes us to the old west, where a French Italian guy buys the most expensive hat in the world and starts a town just to piss everyone else off as much as possible. And then he does....another thing.

The phone bandolier with the sash cover needs to be show merch. Incredibly expensive, impractical merch.
This is the best thing I've ever heard.
"I don't just think this, I believe it" dumbarse. Considering that Hitler's favourite book series were about cowboy adventures and written by a German that never went to America, there seems to be a strong correlation between cowboy LARPers and fascists.
"You call it WOmanhattan because-" BROADWAY is right there!
This was the episode that convinced me to subscribe to the Patreon.
girls, the mayor sash had to be a cartridge belt holding various caliber
Dudes rock, but unfortunately the rock is Skrewdriver.
strong Yukio Mishima vibes from this guy
Hey so as a native person with autism, I must info dump about the native tribes of North Dakota. There are tons of tribes that have at various times lived in what is now North Dakota. The main groups nowadays are the member tribes of the Great Sioux Nation (also known as the Seven Council Fires or Oceti Sakowin). This includes the Lakota, the Dakota and the Nakota (also known as the Assinboine or Stoney). All of those split into smaller subgroups, most of which have multiple names for added confusion. Other groups include the Ojibwe (also known as the Chippewa or the Salteaux) and the Three Affiliated Tribes (made up of the Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara). In total, there are five reservations, two of which are on the border with South Dakota. Other tribes that have lived in that area historically include the Crow, the Cheyenne, the Cree, and maybe the Soshone sometimes. Hope this helps lol
Y'know, Nova had a prestige mayor. Vernon, California's Mayor counts!
This is why I love reality. Nothing is too absurd to be real, no matter how strange you think the world is, it always gets stranger, anything can happen and nothing is impossible.
The promise and threat of 2026: anything is possible
this might be my favorite episode so far. you girlies rock
i wondered if this episode could possibly compete with the other episode about a french guy with Ideas makin up a town in america, and lo and behold it could
As a Franco-Italian name haver, we have like three types of guys and this man is two of them. It’s insane this man is not related to me.
How serious are we about the Item hand tattoo discount? Would that transfer to other Pod-verse pods? Does an "Item!" Hand tat get you trash future? Well theirs your Problen?
blood meal is a very common fertilizer! plants do love blood!
I might be the only person to have cackled at Winchester Thumb
this episode is an excellent example of why this is the best podcast and why mayors are the most important people in history — Great Mayor Theory if you will
I've been to this town! I've seen the house!
a tiny item, an itemelette if you will
you’re telling me that a failson of the reconquista is an antisemite?!
Pacifica is like 20 minutes south of San Francisco right on the coast. Not in wine country.
The critics are already calling morès an early contender for the 2027 Goodies...
If you inherit the podcast, do you have to transition?
This unhingedness has me wanting a rewatch of a show called The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. This dude is wild!!!
Antonio DiAngelos near mention
With the refrigerated trains ? Cause I went straight to that
Please watch and record review of the Elkhorn show, I need more about this guy I hate
Peak episode.
Tyger is a good friend. Shall we parlay? Also, Pacifica would be shit for wine. ❤️

l'Affaire Dreyfus was truly the Watergate of political scandals
You finally got me with this one, I yield, I have subscribed and wish to receive your newsletter.
I said, “duel tonite queen 👀” in absolute unison with you Riley
Girls: I’m in SF and Pacifica is 20min south of me —do you need me to see if the City Council has Open Comment 👀 🧙 *stick emoji*
I don't think I laughed harder at an episode. Thank you, Riley
Losing your mind over butcher shop sales / most recent crackpot scheme failure after Sol Star is Bullock’s actual successful partner just selling picks & shovels in Deadwood largely bottom-up? Incredible! It’s stuff like this that raises the need to make sure the American suburbs and the mutants they produce (your fuentii, kirks & Stephen millers that all spawned from there and if you squint maybe you can tell the difference between them?) are never built again. Let us extend the model of what happened to this town to almost *all* the postwar development & hitlerite suburbs. Maybe some can be repurposed to recycled idk?
Mezoamayorican hand ball
59:23 I’m pretty sure Char said that.
Silver makes for bad washboard material. It's too soft. You want some argalvanized (Argentine galvanization) steel The American Dreamtime is really good
"Imagine being shot by French Elon Musk in that cowboy hat" My soul would not see Heaven if that happened to me. I would be shamed to Hell.
I'm putting in a request at the Dantean metaphysical vaudeville department for you three to be spliced Cerberus style
I used to think spaghetti westerns had unrealistic characters.
If anyone wants to know more about a crossdressing/possibly trans European Muslim adventurer raised by anarchists, there's an episode of Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff about Isabelle Eberhardt aka Si Mahmoud Saadi
I haven't listened yet but I wanted Mattie to know that I got sent the defector ski union article she did the art for by my brother, the co-chair of the Park City Ski Patrolllers Association!

Me, an idiot: Damn, shame the episode is gonna peak at the start with my sudden new favorite blorbo, Tygarjas Twyrls Bigstyck
The antisemetic cowboy had a big iron on his hip (the Iron Cross)
Menagarie: some rich guy's private collection of animals Aviary: birds Apiary: bees Bestiary: book of animals
Seminary: big collection of semen.
Oh God the rollercoaster
I am receiving a hazy image from the Mayortaculus… a comic in the style of old Batman, with the Item Rodeo Cowboy (fingers tattooed ITEM) punching someone (Eric Adams?) with a big blammo ITEM! bubble
This has gotta be one of the all-timers
Pétain was his classmate at St Cyr???
This is a Gulf State prince building a desert fiefdom.
Hell of a time to start playing Fallout New Vegas again
you encounter the French Antisemitic Cowyboy, who's trying to take on the NCR's brahmin processing business and in the process is fucking up the local ecosystem and is ruining the vibes by being annoying. do you: - ally with him so that he forwards you some Enclave hardware he got out of an off-country contact - remove his barbwire and handle his goons to get NCR brownie points - help redirect a Brotherhood nuclear meltdown runoff to his land to subtly fuck his shit up - blow his shit smoove off with the Fat Man
After discussion with my partner we've decided ITEM on one knuckle and STÜF on the other
For your consideration: ITEM on one side, HYAH on the other
The mayor and the anti-mayor of New Orleans.
What a rollercoaster. One of the ones that collapses and winds up on the news
Just as a fun fact for anyone curious. According to the 2020 census the town of Medora SD had a population of 120ish people, and an estimated population of 160 in 2024. Lol
that's growth baby
What in the actual goddamned fuck.
Well... I guess that's a new Halloween costume idea... Bdsm cowboy? So, leather chaps and vest, harness underneath obviously. Then matching hat and boots, and "checks notes" where do I get that leather lasue... 🤔 😂
thank you to you and to the podcast for the idea of my halloween costume this year 🫡💜🐴
It takes a weirdo to be a mayor of a town, it takes an even bigger one to start a town in the first place. Also, Drumont absolutely looks like a French 19th Century Matt Walsh.
Feral energy on this one.
was the 19th century real? at this point im more inclined to believe those tataria videos
It‘s stranger, that it is all real. In a way, conspiracy theorists can’t compete with whatever chaos reality is apparently.
