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.

For this week’s bonus, we speak with friend of the show and openDemocracy journalist Ethan Shone (@EJShone93) about the… corporate proximity to Starmer’s Labour and its recent investment conference. With all the documented malfeasance, fines, violations, and general contempt of the public, it comes across like new marketing on old (but dumber) Blairism. It is 2005 forever. You are always listening to “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee. Things can only get greyer.

Riley is on holiday and we’ve convened the remaining cast of Milo, Hussein, Nate, and November to discuss recent trends in the US election, plus a weird hagiographic article by none other than the arch-villain Laura Kuenssberg on the topic of Keir Starmer’s first 100 days. And somehow, somewhere, a druid gets involved.

We are joined by Hesse Deni (@ZeroSuitCamus) of the Seeking Derangements and Movie Mindset podcasts to discuss A VERY ROYAL SCANDAL, another installment of British TV movies dramatizing the Prince Andrew Newsnight interview…but this time with an inexplicable voice. No, literally, what is going on with the way they’ve depicted Emily Maitlis’ voice? It’s a baffling assembly.

Paris Marx of Tech Won’t Save Us joins the gang to discuss his new limited series, Data Vampires, all about how data centers (shock horror) really aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, and instead just act as gigantic drains on the resources of the localities in which they are based. Also, we discuss one year of western media and political cover for Israel’s actions in Gaza and its neighbouring states, and reflect on the people who revel in making “humanity” a more contingent condition than ever.

As the Labour-taking-bribes scandal runs on into its second month (out of god knows how many), we look at how it’s actually intimately connected to the private sector bonanza we saw at party conference. We also take a look at Rachel Reeves rewriting UK borrowing rules to take investment into account as something other than a cost (good), and how this is likely to be used to fund further private sector giveaways (bad). Also under discussion: Meta’s drive to put its glasses on everyone (bad if it works) and OpenAI’s gargantuan new funding round (funny).

We admit it: we went too early with the Eric Adams story a couple weeks ago… and circumstances have developed not necessarily to the Mayor’s advantage… so No Gods, No Mayors’ Mattie Lubchansky (and Riley Quinn and November Kelly) join the gang to discuss details of the Very Unfair, Biased Eric Adams Indictment Witch Hunt, where a simple country mayor is persecuted only for his love of the boat cruise of the Bosporus and Turkish YIMBYism. Also, we discuss recent events in Lebanon and then read an article about a hyper-secure island for billionaires off the coast of Miami.

Thank you to the fan who commented that we should continue to explore Richard E. Grant's career. As such, we've watched the 1987 film WITHNAIL & I and.... enjoyed it? But it's very hard to escape the notion that 1987 Britain conjuring 1969 Britain looks indistinguishable from 2024 Britain in terms of vibes, aesthetics, degree of shitness, you name it. We hope you enjoy this!

No plot, just riffs, and it's friend of the show Aidan Jones joining Milo and Riley to discuss a number of things. But primarily Australian coffee and the natural wine fad that drives Riley up the wall, mostly because the wine tastes like a horse-barn by design? Or something?

Matt Bors and Ben Clarkson are back on the pod to talk about A.I. and right wing animation. Also, Neom influencers, Labour MP’s loving bribes, and Tucker Carlson’s come to Jesus moment that Zyns… are soy.

Mattie joins a recently re-Miloed gang to discuss how voters on both sides of the Atlantic only want delivery, and don’t care about scandals - whether it’s all of Eric Adams’ friends getting their phones seized by the FBI, or jillionaires playing dress up with the Labour Front Bench (and the Observer article that blithely describes all the shenanigans the party undertook in the run up to 2019 to play said game of dress up).
