Aleksandar Šapić (with Boris Mamlëz and Rey Katula)
We're joined this week by Boris and Rey from The Empire Never Ended to talk about Aleksandar Šapić, the fabulist, extremely buff, former water polo celebrity mayor of Belgrade. Who's ready for a homophobic Rammstein performance?

Hope to see the TENE lads back for more Balkan mayors soon!
Idk how to search for the various illinoise and comments so I’m sorry if this happened already but did u know Illinois has mayor specific license plates: https://www.ilsos.gov/departments/vehicles/license-plate-guide/presmayor.html
Wait what’s happening to municipal roundup 😢
in America our corrupt municipal projects fall apart immediately
As a local, it’s very humorous to me that Nova refers to Knoxville as just “some city in Tennessee”
Looking forward to being in the leather contingent of next years Belgrade Days of the Family
When's the duterte episode dropping
Wait, MegaTrend? The university that pretended to employ the Bogdanoffs in a nonexistent department?
Yes! https://megatrend.edu.rs/team/prof-dr-griska-bogdanov-prof-dr-igor-bogdanov-2/
Listening to this in my car while at a stoplight and it connected to my stereo at the exact moment I had the volume up while Riley said, “…well you want me to think of gay sex, I suppose…” 💀
There's something about all this that feels very Disco Elysium.
I love the fact that so many straights don't know about the different types of gays, because it lead to Rob Halford popularising the leather daddy look in the metal community. Metalheads have since wised up and now all the metal leather daddies do it for gay reasons instead of confused straight reasons (or to queer bait, as in the case of Ramstein, apparently.)
Where's the picture of the child bomber that was supposed to be in the show notes?
gfd "are you... a friend of the pool?" is actually the funniest thing that's ever been said I'm ded
Re: Kane AKA Glenn Jacobs, he's actually the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee rather than the city of Knoxville. Our city mayor is the much less interesting but still pretty crappy Indya Kincannon. I very much look forward to the episode.
Huh... Not the first athlete mayor that comes to mind, let alone from eastern Europe. But what a great episode and guests 👍
ever think about aughts crossover "pizza thrash" metal band Municipal Waste? I think their best known, anthemic song "Municipal Waste Is Gonna Fuck You Up" says a lot about the municipalitiness that was coming up in their future
Hold on a second. Hang on. You're telling me Serbia is REAL? I assumed it was all made up!
It took me until 53 minutes in to realise that this is the mayor who threw the 2022 Family Pride marches, one of which this Glaswegian trans woman inadvertently found herself in the middle of and was chased through the streets of Belgrade during ! The Mayortaculus is full of surprises
I can’t believe a British mayor did a Guy Fawkes to some teens!
okay as someone who has been going to Belgrade at least three times a year for a decade, this one hit different... watching the city get enshittified by this prick and his mates has been painful
Where's the picture of Bombermayor? Is it missing or can I just not see it on mobile
So long, Municipal Cowboy
41:20 Excuse me, it's the Basque Space Program. Putting fascists on the Moon, whether they want to or not. o7
I hope there is a Basquero mayor somewhere on the NGNM list.
The thing that gets me the most about the teen-bomb is that it was there to catch *responsible* teens. Any kids who just threw their butts into the dry grass and started a fire would have been fine, but because those boys took the time to extinguish their butts in a sand bucket, they got exploded. There ain't no justice.

Where's the bomber Mayor picture?

Y'all. I have to tell SOMEONE that I attended that US Rammstein tour with my parents when I was in high school. I remember the bit that got indecency complaints. My folks and I had fun with the whole experience so I guess it was, arguably, very family friendly.
the whole bus color thing feels extremely disco elysium
“I got 99 items and Šapić IS one”
"The mayor isn't the real mayor. You know that."
(this was about the deputy mayor mentioned in the episode who ran the city in lieu of the mysterious Shadow Mayor, a concept I remain obsessed with a day later)
I cannot believe seatbelts designed as sashes aren't a thing yet. Huge business opportunity.
You dont want to give it to reverse Oxon Kevin Mccallister but John Gillman could of easily been a hilarious american mayor or congressional rep. He hates kids, is a civil war reenactor, and has a penchant for explosives/military equipment. Swich out the bmp for a bradley or m113 and he could of been governor of a state
Its got South Carolina written all over it
The boyzees! Always good to see Tenepod getting out and about.
oh you went to Belgrade, let's GO
dobrodošli u Beogradu, etc
Why is Municipal Roundup ending?!?!
The items will be collated in a new arrangement as yet to be decided upon by The Mayortaculus
