Transcript

Speaker 1 I love my two podcast moms.

Speaker 1 We're three moms and we've given birth to one podcast.

Speaker 1 The No Gods, No Mayors podcast, which you're listening to, in fact.

Speaker 1 Three women and a podcast.

Speaker 1 Three women like leaning on it. Yeah.
Hey, Riley. Hey, three women.

Speaker 1 It's been a while since we visited the the subplot of the show which is riley's transition that's true yeah um our force femming of this is a bonus we can talk about force femming riley no problems of course riley uh-huh i just did my shot about half an hour ago okay pretty cool when are you gonna do your shot today i'm trying to just ask you positive questions instead of like forcing it on you just being like hey when are you doing yeah i'm just gonna say i have you know i have a there's a whole network of of people who can can get you some hormones you know

Speaker 1 very very easily very easily I could get a hormone in your hand yesterday oh yeah hey what hey what do I got to do to get you in a new gender today

Speaker 1 here's the thing Riley for you I don't think it's a new gender I think it's just the one you've been operating with yeah in fact I think it's I think it's the gender you've always known that you've had on some level

Speaker 1 So for shots, I think I might go to a place that says picklebacks. I might get a pickleback later.

Speaker 1 Like an estradiol pickleback? Aw, oh god.

Speaker 1 Pretty good. Hey, I think it's pretty good.
Yeah, I mean, I, that, that would, I wouldn't like to drink it because I think I'm allergic to the carrying fluid, but

Speaker 1 just want to give myself a weird bump every week.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't like a drinkable hormone, but I would like a smokable one. Ooh.
They should have a cigarette that's estrogen. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Or failing that, I should have some kind of cool cyberpunk like auto-injector that I can just like slam into into my thigh anytime I feel like I yeah I think they have like a a thing that's like a

Speaker 1 a thing that they install on you I think oh yeah a pump oh the like the like depot thing sure but like

Speaker 1 that's not what I want what I want is for America to invent cyberpunk 2077. Okay yeah you want to be like in max pain and just like slamming something into you while you run around.

Speaker 1 What happens in your field of view is that you start like taking damage from like, I don't know looking at replies on Twitter or whatever feels blowing blue from the edges of your sleeve

Speaker 1 and then you take you have to like take cover behind a chest high wall so like yeah you you can get like estrogen and pills obviously but it's just one a day or whatever which is boring what i want is as you say the max pain thing of like they come in a cool like kind of american uh like pill bottle which we don't really have here we just have blister packs uh they come in a pill bottle and you could just you have to take like a bunch a day but you can also just like slam one whenever you feel like it and it really has like an instant effect of like you go like, oh yeah, that's the stuff.

Speaker 1 I somehow only get them from vending machines and dead enemies. I don't know why.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I sort of like dove across an open room firing two guns at the same time into like a mob guy. And then he dropped like a pill bottle full of Eastradiol.

Speaker 1 Yeah, like you find, you find his drop is a bottle of Eastradiol, but also like a drawing of him as a woman. And you're like, oh, I guess this guy had some stuff going on.

Speaker 1 Like that one bit in white noise? Yeah. I cannot believe yet another one of these mobster goons.
I've killed yet another one of these mobster goons before transition.

Speaker 1 Could transition have saved her from my gun dive.

Speaker 1 They call me Mickey the Woman.

Speaker 1 This is, I regret to say that is just a Nick Mullen tweet, which culminates in, of course, Bobby, big new pussy, Bobbigliano.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 It is a good tweet. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll give him that. I'll give him that tweet.
Hey, should we intro the show? Yeah, it's about mayors. It's about mayors.
Yeah, it's no gods, no mayors.

Speaker 1 I'm the mayor again for this week because I had Joe Carollo prepared,

Speaker 1 or rather, the mayor taculus had me prepare Joe Carollo, the second of the Miami trilogy, before the Mayor Taculus then handed us.

Speaker 1 Before

Speaker 1 the Mayor Taculus then handed us Dan as a kind of bait and switch. But the Mayor Taculus moves in mysterious ways.
It does. Weirdly, it's weird that it keeps moving in in the way of my

Speaker 1 mayor being a week late. So

Speaker 1 my corrolances for that, I apologize. What we have to stop doing is announcing at the end of the episode what's going to be next week.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 It should remain a mystery to them as it does so often to us.

Speaker 1 It's certainly mysterious every time when I go, I haven't done anything on a Thursday.

Speaker 1 I do want to say this episode is dropping on Thursday, November 7th, which will be two days after the mayoral election here in New York City. Sorry, this is...
Soron actually did it. He wasn't.

Speaker 1 So if he did it, let's say, let's all go, hooray. And if he didn't, you'll not hear from me again because I will

Speaker 1 be learning how to drive the New York City ferry into Gracie Manor.

Speaker 1 Oh. Manor, mansion, whatever.
I can't wait to see what you paint on the side of it. I know that's only one cartoon you did one time, but it's, I find it really funny.

Speaker 1 It's very strange. She went and took like ferry driving classes, like piloting classes, but she didn't care about docking the boat at all.
It was just 19 brave transactions.

Speaker 1 Hey, how come?

Speaker 1 Of course,

Speaker 1 the day that it happened, she broke a bottle of champagne across the ferry and rechristened it the deficit. It was painted in very large letters.

Speaker 1 Sorry. Sorry.
It's okay.

Speaker 1 He's going to do it. He's going to win.

Speaker 1 I'm a little spooked.

Speaker 1 I'm going to place the marker down now. There's no October surprise.

Speaker 1 Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen.
Mayor elect Zoran Mamdani.

Speaker 1 We salute you. Pursuant to that, we have a very short municipal roundup.
We need the music, though. We forgot the music last time and had to play the backwards music.

Speaker 1 So let's make sure the music goes in now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So this one's very quick. I just wanted to bring us something to the mayor I'll show and tell here, which is

Speaker 1 there's an interview in the Times of London where they asked Phil de Blasio.

Speaker 1 There isn't anymore because you can't click on the link. You cannot click on the link anymore.
It was aggregated by the New York Post and that's still there,

Speaker 1 which is very funny.

Speaker 1 But in it, Bill de Blasio, former mayor, former guest of this show, said that he doubted the, in a very AI generated looking paragraph, said he doubted like the feasibility of the numbers of zoron's plans which is funny because bill seems to be all in on the man yeah he's his guy so what happened was someone at semaphore went and looked into this and found that uh instead they had talked to a 59 year old long island wine importer named bill deblasio who merely responded to an email from a journalist seeking his views on democrat zoran momdani's policies i'm bill deblasio I've always been Bill de Blasio, de Blasio said in an interview with him Wednesday evening, through his ring doorbell in Huntington Station, Long Island from his current location in Florida.

Speaker 1 This is my favorite detail in the world where like this, someone, the reporter, tracked down this guy, went to his house, rang his doorbell. He picked up his doorbell in Florida.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 which Bill de Blasio is it? You know, does the evil one have a goatee? I think he actually made it as well.

Speaker 1 The thing I love about this,

Speaker 1 besides not checking, is that the real Bill de Blasio finds this extremely funny. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 They got them both on the same segment of like cable news. Yeah.
And Bill de Blasio Brackett's former mayor was sort of deeply tickled by this.

Speaker 1 Through the ring camera, he said, I never once said I was at the mayor. He never addressed me as the mayor.
So I just gave him my opinion.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because the guy's got like Bill de Blasio at gmail.com or whatever. I can't believe the mayor had to have like Bill de Blasio like 1958 or whatever.
That's kind of insulting.

Speaker 1 He also spells it the imposter de Blasio, his wario spells it de Blasio.

Speaker 1 It's capital D, lowercase E, capital B. Whereas Bill,

Speaker 1 the former mayor, is lowercase D, E, space capital B.

Speaker 1 And we can get like turfy with it. We can say, because when we did Bill de Blasio, we noted that's not his birth name.

Speaker 1 He wasn't coercively assigned Bill de Blasio at birth, which means wine Bill de Blasio arguably has a better claim to it. Yeah.
And he says that lower class Italians do the lowercase D.

Speaker 1 But that's all. I just wanted to share that piece of information because the ring camera thing has been bouncing around my brain and it will not leave.
It's so funny to me.

Speaker 1 Interviewed through his ring door. I mean, the thing that I did about this was I did a very clumsy Photoshop.
Oh, no, I've been laughing at that. I was showing it to people at the bar the other night.

Speaker 1 I was like, this is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 It makes me laugh every time I see it. I did the onion.

Speaker 1 Well, well, well, not so easy to find a mayor who isn't a piece of shit thing, but I clumsily photoshopped Waldo or Wally from Where's Waldo or Wally

Speaker 1 onto Bill de Blasio. And I changed the thing to de Blasio, well, well, well, not so easy to find mayor de Blasio, is it? And that got...

Speaker 1 I would say, conservatively, like 100 likes on Twitter in two days. And that made me so mad I went to Blue Sky for the day because the lives know how to appreciate me.

Speaker 1 And it's doing numbers over there where I where you don't have to like give Elon Musk your social security number to see images so like

Speaker 1 it's really funny and it is I think as you said a testament to the power of how stupid AI is and how it doesn't work because an AI version of that would not be funny it would be it would not be unsold whereas the version you made is infinitely more funny and I keep I'm looking at it right now and it makes me so happy it's just a bunch of like obviously thumbed red and white stripes like you can see where I've like lost control of it a bit It's so good.

Speaker 1 It's the human touch. It's why humans painted on cave walls.
