Milo is in Australia and the time zone difference is killing us, but in his absence we convened Joe Kassabian and Francis Horton to discuss the American Midwest with Hussein. We cover the strange post-industrial wasteland of pretty much the entire region, the concept of Precious Moments ceramic figurines (Funko Pops for meemaws), and Hussein reads us a list of supposedly foundational Midwest Emo bands that we have 99% never heard of.

This week, Riley, Hussein, Nate, and November speak with friend of the show and returning guest Séamus Malekafzali (@Seamus_Malek) about recent developments in the airspace between Iran and Israel, plus a few tidbits about a Tory MP who simply loves getting blackmailed, a racist Spectator article that may have achieved an all-time TF shock record, and allegations that Warhammer has, in the words of Britain’s very reasonable press, ‘gone woke.’

For this week’s bonus, we speak with returning guest and friend of the show Molly White (@molly0xFFF) about the recent upswing in crypto prices and their resultant dumb hype. But also: meme coin generators, Truth Social, another crypto party that blinded people, Baron Trump Harkonnen, and a Verge review of a supposed ‘smartphone killer’ that manages to suck so much that not even the hardest core of tech futurists can defend it. It’s a $700 lapel pin and it’s also… racist?

The Devon Report feat. Kill James Bond
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
Tuesday Apr 16, 2024
For this week’s free one, Riley, Hussein, and November are joined by Abigail Thorn and Devon from the Kill James Bond podcast to discuss the recent Cass Review into trans kids’ healthcare in the NHS. Well, call it a review, but it’s actually just top cover for conversion therapy and state-sponsored cruelty against all medical advice. We also discuss career weirdo Brian Rose’s decision to once again run for London Mayor, and examine some recent events in Palestine in which a thing happened involving some drones. It’s a heavy episode but it’s also… a fun one? Somehow?

PREVIEW: And I Would Build 1.5 Miles ft. Shanti Singh
Wednesday Apr 10, 2024
Wednesday Apr 10, 2024
...but I won't build 1.5 more.
In this bonus episode, we bid a fond RIP to NEOM.
The gang looks back fondly on our favourite megaproject as the Line's official plans are scaled back from 170km to only 2.4km (or 1.5 miles) by 2030. Then, we look at the emerging political movement of Grey Pride, and the plans that Balaji Srinivasan, author of the Network State, has to rebuild San Francisco in his image, claiming: "What Elon did for Twitter, so too shall we do for San Francisco!"

Riley, November, and Hussein talk to returning guest Emiliano Mellino from TBIJ to discuss his recent investigation into abuses of the health and care worker visa by unethical bosses and other associated profiteers we've decided to replace most of our remaining health and care system with. Before that, we discuss the murder of several aid workers by the IDF, which has caused Liberals to stand and take notice that white people are also being killed. Also, we learn about Britain being the Second Most Powerful Country in the World.

PREVIEW: Assigned Mayor at Birth (ft. Mattie Lubchansky)
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
Thursday Apr 04, 2024
In this Patreon episode, resident Eric Adams expert Mattie Lubchansky joins the gang to discuss Adams and his loyal retainers, his plans to use an AI system that doesn't work to fight a non existent subway cirme problem, and how he tried to win an argument he had on the radio by getting baptised in prison by Al Sharpton. Then, we talk about the other countries that own England's water supply going on strike until the fat cat public coughs up double their bills, and then an article where a certain Viscount Runciman remembers how Liz Truss is a lot like another politician some of us remember.

The Mesoamerican Bill Simmons Podcast ft. Patrick Wyman
Monday Apr 01, 2024
Monday Apr 01, 2024
Recurring guest and firm favourite Patrick Wyman joins the gang to discuss the history of climate change - what adaptation has looked like for different societies that formed and deformed around changing climates. Including pre-Dynastic Egypt, the Indus Valley Civilisation, and the crises that plagued the ends of Rome and Feudalism, among others! But first, twenty minutes grousing about how strong fundamentals players with good coachability have become a rare thing in the Mesoamerican Ritual Ball Game.

Preview: It's Boever ft. Justin Roczniak
Thursday Mar 28, 2024
Thursday Mar 28, 2024
In this bonus episode preview, Justin and November from WTYP join the gang to discuss all things Boeing, and what happens to your empire when you accidentally apply your own ideology to the most important pillar of your blood soaked globe bestriding war machine? Also, we talk about the UK's ambitious plan to have flying taxis in the air by 2026, and a new Neom region that puts a certain Battersea sky pool in London to shame.

More Human After All ft. Brian Merchant
Monday Mar 25, 2024
Monday Mar 25, 2024
"I believe AI makes us more human," said Peter Deng of OpenAI at SXSW - which is just one of the responses that AI people have when people ask bizarre questions like "what does your product do," and "hey how did you get all that training data?" Technology writer Brian Merchant joins the gang to discuss this phenomenon, Amazon's foray into building a second generation human, and, of course, the AI app that aims to replace condoms.
