WELCOME to No Gods No Mayors Season 2! What does the changeover mean? Not much. Well, we debut the brand-new, rebranded news segment Municipal Broadsides! Anyway, this week, Riley rustles up the most municipally-brained man on Earth, in Honduras. We ask the important question: Is Latin America the true inheritor of the classical world?
Here's that palace:

This episode feels like it should have included Dr. Patrick Wyman. The parallels to classical era kings of citadels is actually pretty apt.
Inb4 the pod gets iced by a Colombian xe/xim named Diomedes
Muse, tell me about an eccentric mayor
HONDURAS MENTION LET'S GOOOO i never questioned the somewhat uhhh classical names in my family before because that's just their names but this episode has opened my eyes
I'm currently putting together an online course about the history of the US-Mexico drug wars and how the cartel term has been applied (including Zavala's critique but also critical of him). My ears perked up when I heard the honduran connection and I then was taken out entirely by the "cartels not subscribing to the patreon bit" to the point i had to stop cooking my breakfast because i couldnt stop laughing.
I am the kingpin of the Swabian drug cartel and you're on thin ice, buckeroos!
Not sure if this is anything but figured it'd be worth sharing: "Former Worthington mayor files petitions to dissolve town charter & declare sewer system distressed." https://youtu.be/1fjm517NniY
"Cow-shaped cocaine bundles" WTYP heads and fellow engineers will recall the usual approximation that a cow is a sphere. Taking this literally could actually minimize the traffickers' costs in plastic wrap and duct tape.
Putting down my marker that Hamilcar will attempt to escape prison by mailing himself to his family in 206 separate packages.
When I was a lad I served a tour, As editor to some podcasters. I scrubbed the mouth noise and the AC whirs And cut all the racial and ethnic slurs. I cut out those slurs so carefully that now I have my own mayoral-ty As editor I became so liked that they handed me my own podcast mic, I interrupted and insulted cohosts, And shared their embarrassing anecdotes. I embarrassed my cohosts so thoroughly, that now I have my own mayoral-ty As podcaster I made such a name, that an internet celebrity I soon became In addition to some dubious sponsorships, I sold some crypto and some other grifts, I grifted my fans so profitably that now I have my own mayoral-ty As internet celebrity I earned such reknown, that I ran for mayor in my old hometown. I promised business an investment tide After I accepted all their campaign bribes I promised so much they elected me to my own municipal mayoral-ty So content creators, whomever you may be, If you want to profit financially, If you haven't sold your soul to the Saudis, Then here's my advice on how you can succeed; You must NEVER think introspectively, And you'll all get municipal mayoral-ties!
I will get my dress whites out for the live show
I’m sure you all are safe. Im sure no harm can come from mocking criminal organizations. I’m also sure that Junzo Itami committed suicide.
I’m one day off from ceramics class I can’t do that kind of decoration I’m so sorry to let down the side but I will try to make a mayoral vase
The Albaniality of Evil
THE MAYORTACULIS HELPED US FIGURE OUT ACAB!!! COPS, LIKE SOLDIERS, GANGSTERS, AND BANDITS, ARE A CATEGORY OF BOYS
“Wiresight, not the book you guys like” Mattie LOL (special shout out to Riley bc I finally read it after you mentioned it the 33rd time)
Mistresses and Commandstress ass Season kick off 💜 🛥️
Municipal And Commander
Nova's "It's like 10,000 lines when all you need is a bump" gag did NOT get enough love from Matty and Riley.
August - 2026 Eric Adams is Albanian Only the hosts of No Gods, No Mayors stands before him OCEANS ARE NOW CITY HALLS
If ship captains are mayors can we get the Aubrey Maurtin book podcast back? I don't think November is doing enough podcasts right now.
Realizing that humans are the true Ferengi, and Eric Adams is our first Grand Nagus!
I hate naval shit. Fuck master and commander MUTINY
Yeah, we're going boating in sashes!
Why the fuck is he named after an early sportscar
Pepsi Nasrallah, Branson Reese character-ass name
I cannot believe you got rid of the holy and pure cowboy 'hyah!' with the false and licentious sailor's 'ahoy.' It is an affront to our moral character and I for one will not idly stand by and let our proud Western way of life be cast overboard by you sorry and sodden jack-tar roustabouts. You can take my 'hyah' from my cold (dry) dead hands, you nautical trollops.
@mattie for what it's worth I have the math games autism and I did not know that
you absolute dorks (affectionately)
At a risk of ending up in plastic bags in the same lime pit in the desert as you three, I can understand where the gender dysphoria in Los Zetas comes from. Their name ends in '-as' yet they use the masculine pronoun of 'los'
oh Eric Adams coming to Nigeria? Can't wait for him to pick up the skills of a Yahoo boy 🫶🏿
I feel so seen by the hosts saying that Latin American names are on another level. A few weeks ago, I was trying to figure out why the Dominican baseball players Vladimir Guerrero (Sr and Jr) were named like that. I found some suggestions, but the best conclusion I could find was that Latin American given names are simply too advanced for me to comprehend
Every so often you run into a Latin American minor leaguer named Lenin. I really hope one of them makes the majors someday.
November making a Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri reference warms my soul
If mayors are Kings of Town then logically the King is Town from Homestar Runner must be a mayor.
"Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me the King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal: by purchasing one of equal or lesser value."
the fact that i made my patreon username 'municipal midshipman' When I Signed Up is suddenly paying incredible dividends
Discovering an emerging overlap between No Gods No Mayors' Municipal Roundup and The Blackwater Corporation
I assumed that Municipal Broadside would be an old-timey newspaper thing, but I'm delighted to discover that it's an Age of Sail thing instead
Will ths lead to a cowboy vs pirate schism in the muniverse?
Hold on... can we get an "Items Dead Ahead!" Call like its the iceberg from titanic? 😅 thats the only way I'll feel good about giving up the hiyah!!
Eric Adams TV show where he gains one citizenship every episode. In the grand finale he joins the French foreign legion and wins some post-colonial conflict to complete the set.
Eric Adams walking the earth from town to town, helping local business owners in need of a crooked deal
Running to photoshop to create some dumbass naval fanart.
I need a titanic themed "Items Dead Ahead!"
It's 2am, I've worked 12+ hours today, finally get in bed and turn on No Gods No Mayors so I can be lulled to sleep by stories from the great plains of municipal misadventures, when instead... What joy, to find oneself once more aboard the dear Surprise, that sublime and weatherly barky, close-hauled on the larboard tack, racing through a soupy fog. Jack Aubrey could conceive of no greater happiness in this world, and said so, twice, to no one in particular, in a giddy shout. Suddenly, the cry: “On deck, there! Sail ho! Two points to larboard!” Jack whipped up his glass, squinted through, and roared out his orders: “Beat to quarters! Helmsman, hard a-larboard and make your course sou-souwest!” Above the roar of calls, drums, and stomping feet, he cried, “Hell and death, Stephen, it’s that dirty French first-rate, the Mayortacheron!” “I am afraid you have the advantage of me,” said Dr. Maturin, who had been gazing off at a shearwater perched in the rigging. “Do you not see her pennant?” cried Jack, somehow still astounded by the depths of Stephen’s ignorance. “The sash, Stephen, the mayoral sash, streaming from the main! And the municipal colours flying at her taffrail. She’s blasted lethal, Stephen, and she has the weather-gage— get down below, there is not a moment to lose!” There was, in fact, no moment at all. The Mayortacheron yawed, showing her side, and rippled out a full municipal broadside. The tremendous report of her specialized cannon signaled the delivery of destructive power beyond mere roundshot, chain, or hot iron. No, indeed, for she was armed with subclauses, second readings, addenda, errata, and points of order sharper than flint. This unholy assemblage of lexicological destruction swept the Surprise from stem to stern, saturating her air with splinters, blood, fallen rigging, and the cries of downed men. “Dear Lord,” Jack thought, “I must employ every deception I can muster to get us out of this bind, lest we be taken prisoner and hauled off to that inescapable hell that only a great monstrous French bureaucracy—or perhaps Papists—could conceive: Item Island…” P.S. Hope you enjoy my Municipal Broadside/Aubrey-Maturin crossover fanfic I spent an hour on. Now it's 3am and I can't wait for the (very expensive) cosplay at the live shows. Though tbh if you just wear your cowboy hats athwartships in the Nelson style, the profile might kinda work
I feel quite outdone sir, and can see no dishonor in striking my colours to a gentleman so smiled upon by Providence.
You can tell from the sound of those shots in the Municipal Broadside theme that the powder'd taken damp as the charges had not been drawn for sometime. Un-seawoman like behaviour on the part of your gunner. Perhaps bosun's mate Mattie will see them upon the defaulter's list ere too long. Though if I hear the same flaccid discharges next week I might move my sights further up the hierachy and ask questions of the captain as to when were the last time they fired a practice round, and whether or not the ship under their command is ready at all times to Burn, Sink, Take or Destroy the ships of their enemies.
If ship captains are mayors...Then is it possible that "Vice-Admiral of the Blue" William Bligh is among the most couped mayors in history? - First in the Bounty Mutiny - Second as Governor of New South Wales during the Rum Rebellion Because unlike Butler he failed to secure the gun.
I think governors are mayors even if captains aren’t.
Next precept: Build The Wall to keep mattie safe
There is a lot of neoclassical colorful houses all over Latin America. They even brought some of them back to Spain and Portugal. If you Google casas de indianos, you will find they are categorised in two groups Cube houses and Eclectic houses. Anyway the point is to build the most gaudy big thing you can afford to show you are better than your neighbours.
1: to the next 100! 🥳 2: november, you always sound good ❤️
3: ahoi!!
Did you girls just tell us to be normal?
_about municipal round up_
yo ho yo ho a mayoral life for me!
Infinicorn nearly killed me. No gods no mayors mightn’t be a gym safe podcast
I can't listen when I lift anymore because I have almost dropped weights laughing.
Next live show No Gods No Mayors production of HMS Pinafore but it's Mayor of the Queen’s Navy
It would be insanely funny to do this before we get the next Aubrey-Maturin on Left on Read
