TRASHFUTURE

So you've decided to run down the functions of your society? What's left to get people up in the morning? We are joined by Abi Thorn and Mattie Lubchansky to talk about the political usefulness of transphobia. But first, we talk about how Britain engineered a gas crisis it is unwilling to escape from, and talk about a cool business.

Here is an unlocked Britainology to hopefully brighten your weekend. Yes, it was a little bit late when it came out. It was late because Nate and Milo got exposed to covid right before Christmas and couldn't record while waiting on test results. But we have in fact discussed Jim Davidson's terrible bawdy Cinderella pantomime from 1995, entitled 'Sinderella', and discussed the concept of pantos in general. Hope you enjoy!

We've also unlocked the Dogging episode of Britainology to the $5 tier--get it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/51682396

And if you want two (2) Britainologies a month, sign up on the $10 tier on Patreon! This month's second episode features us discussing the British Army with friend of the show, veteran, leftist, and author Joe Glenton: https://www.patreon.com/posts/56590770

We've found another terrible startup: a billion-dollar-valuation 'plastic recycling' venture that is too dangerous to actually work (but would absolve the oil industry of any need to change its business model). It operates via a concept called shuggling. It also has yet again involved a promised factory in Ohio that will never exist. Prepare to get shuggled.

Ciaran (@ciarandold) and Nick (@sternburgpapi) from Corner Spaeti (@cornerspaeti) join the gang to discuss the upcoming federal election in Germany, and then we go deep on Europe's most embarrassing party of nerds: "Volt!"

This month's $5 Britainology involves Milo forcing Nate to watch an incredibly awkward episode of I'm Alan Partridge and then helping him talk him off the ledge. We also explore how Partridge is not all that exaggerated a version of a British radio DJ, replete with some Richard Madeley and Jeremy Vine all-time classics.

For this week's bonus, Milo, Nate, and Alice watched the 1995 Kathryn Bigelow film STRANGE DAYS, in which Ray Fiennes is a lovelorn memory-salesman hawking minidiscs that let you experience other people's consciousness. It's a bizarre document from the time in which its made, it's a film with cult status in certain quarters, and it posits the notion that to get over your problems, you need Angela Bassett to kick your ass. Hope you enjoy!

This week, we’ve got a real doozy for you: a bad startup, some Labour kremlinology, and an examination of supply chain shortages in the UK because our government are some of the dumbest people to ever breathe air. Did you know that when your taxes go up to fund privatization and pocket-stuffing, that’s actually communism? You heard it here first.

We're back. Yes, we did another live show at Vauxhall Comedy Club in London, and we discussed a startup that wants to make a mattress that can do DDOS attacks. We also read a Telegraph article about the decline of the West. It's Riley, Milo, Hussein, Nate, and special guest Phoebe Roy. You'll love it!

This week, we learn the story of the Diapers dot com billionaire who wants to build a utopian city in the desert based on the principles of Georgism. Does this sound like The Line? Well, it’s been compared to it by the same credulous weirdos who love that, too. Also, a startup!
