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.

The Mesoamerican Bill Simmons Podcast ft. Patrick Wyman

a podcast about business success and making yourself smarter with the continued psychic trauma of capitalism by @raaleh, @HKesvani, @milo_edwards, @inthesedeserts and @aliceavizandum

Comedy

For this week’s free episode, it’s Riley, Hussein, and November discussing some interesting UK politics news regarding a little-known political entity called the Labour Party and a little-known digital voting software platform they designed and adopted that’s now being investigated by a little-known group called the Metropolitan Police Cybercrime Unit. Oh well! We also talk about an AI wearable that tries to record your life, and hints from the Tony Blair Institute that Blair is desperate for a Starmer premiership… because he wants to introduce ID cards. Yes. He’s at it again.

Wearable Joe Biden Simulator LED Consent Light

For this week's bonus, Riley, Hussein, and November discuss some recent UK news where one of Britain's most tendentious morons has been trying to claim that the Met Police are in cahoots with Hamas somehow and people are expected to take this seriously. We also discuss recent Tory and Labour talking points about replacing sick notes with apps and how apparently people on Statutory Sick Pay have had it too good for too long. This episode nearly broke November and also prompted her to call Hussein 'the South London Guy de Maupassant,' so you'll have to take the good with the bad.

*PREVIEW* Set Your Broken Bones with Mindfulness

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.

*PREVIEW* Midwestology 3: Do Not Perceive the Precious Moments Citadel

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.’

Intercontinental Amuse-Bouche Barrage feat. Séamus Malekafzali

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?
