TRASHFUTURE

Ed Ongweso Jr. joins the gang (joined by Devon from Kill James Bond) to talk about new developments in the parallel economy for based chads who fear public transportation and going out of the house generally, Elon Musk’s emerging role as “first buddy” to a man who may grow to hate him, and Peter Mandelson’s campaign to cozy the UK up to the aforementioned “first buddy.” Also, we discuss a very TF Season One style startup (thank you to a listener for sending that in!).

It's a bonus episode in which we assess some of the recent trends now that the dumbest crypto guys are in power, creating meme-based US government agencies, and AI valuation is abysmally high with no actual delivery of a value proposition in sight.

We’re speedrunning Blairism in the UK with new feigned outrage about NHS dental care in prisons. We love a carceral state but we hate that it might be obligated to provide some services to prisoners. We also talk about a 23-and-Me equivalent getting bought up and absorbed into… the wider project of a scientific racism freak? It’s been a weird few days.

This was not an episode that were happy to record, in the sense that—gallows humour aside—this sucks! It's bad. But, for this immediate post-mortem bonus episode, Riley, Milo, and November discuss the US election... as well as the Labour party's cosying up to Trump, the future trends you can predict in British politics, and the fact that the UK now has at least four Pod Save America equivalents.

Economist and host of the Eurotrash Podcast Dominik Leusder rejoins the gang to discuss the recent U.K. budget - who’s in, who’s out, who’s “hot” and who’s “not.” Also, a final look at the US presidential campaign through the lens of one Frenchman’s $30m commitment to Peanut the squirrel.

For this week's bonus, Riley has read as much as he can stomach of the Labour 2024 book 'Taken as Red,' but we also spend some time discussing recent reports that the human cost of Neom is over 20,000 workers dead. Has that stopped British politicians from doing cosy photo-ops with the Saudis and shilling for the line? Well, what do you think?

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have nuclear-powered data centres sucking up all the information about everyone ever, with easily-ignorable caveats for ‘protecting’ ‘American’ ‘citizens’ rights.’ Wouldn’t it be nice they fueled AI that will definitely work. Wouldn’t it be nice to be a roving constituency MP going on evening walks and sucker-punching your constituents? What if we told you… all of this can be yours?

Riley, November, and Hussein review some of TF Ltd’s strategic investments in the Humane Pin and the Apple Vision Pro, before moving on to look at the replacement of more humans in creative roles with ChatGPT in the UK entertainment industry, the desire of UK armed police officers to be treated like their American counterparts, and finally a reading on the inner life of Masayoshi Son… as we of course do at every pension fund allocation meeting.

For this month's first Britainology, Milo subjects Nate to the early-2000s British reality TV show Supernanny, with an episode featuring a particularly unruly 9-year-old girl named Meghann. It's famously "iconic" British TV with more than a few ethical dilemmas, and frankly we're undecided on its value. But you can watch the episode in question here and react in the comments.

We’ve brought on friend of the show and Well There’s Your Problem host Justin Roczniak (@who_shot_jgr) to discuss Tesla’s promise to deliver, and they’re serious this time, self-driving cars. However, investment banks and analyst newsletters made up of people who won’t be getting bonuses this year due to Twitter’s stock nosedive are perhaps a little more sanguine about the prospect. We also discuss more Saudi Ozymandias megaprojects and envision a better world that would exist if people picked a different Gerard Butler movie from which to derive their entire personality.
