*PREVIEW* Britainology 100: The Life in the UK Test (feat. Trashfuture) Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

It's a Britainology episode, except it's every member of TF on this one, so in a sense it only makes sense to give the show guest billing. And Milo has created a suite of test questions to determine whether or not we know enough of the actually-relevant details about the UK. Let's just say that the final scores... are something of a surprise to us.

Bastards of DOGE feat. Quinn Slobodian Feb 25, 2025

Show notes

Quinn Slobodian joins us to discuss his new book, Hayek’s Bastards (subtitle subtitle) - which traces the syncretic relationship of scientific racism, techno-solutionism, and the quest to destroy the cathedral to Neoliberalism’s crisis of mission in the 1990s.

*PREVIEW* Reversed Stomach Syndrome ft. Nina Eichacker Feb 21, 2025

Show notes

It’s a goons rights bonanza, with Devon subbing in for November to talk about the ongoing wave of gig economy apps for ex-Navy SEALs to turn random people into clouds of pink mist on behalf of crypto influencers who want to look richer than they are… also we check in on Humane, and read a column by Rafael Behr. In the second half, Economist Nina Eichacker joins Riley half to talk tariffs (specifically) and how Wall Street’s “Masters of the Universe” traded their pre-eminent positions in capital markets for revenge on their woke, home-working employees (generally).

We’re Going to Cherish It feat. Seamus Malekafzali Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

We talk about the Trump plan to bring stability to the Middle East by building hotels and casinos on top of the mass gravesite of an ethnically cleansed Gaza, and how it’s differences from the Biden plan are largely in its aesthetics. Also, the art of the deal in Ukraine, another cushy job in venture capital for an unqualified natsec goon (democrat), and what do you call a group of three or more people on the Labour Right… a WhatsApp scandal!

*PREVIEW* Museum of Future 9/11s Feb 14, 2025

Show notes

We go back into the whimsical world of flying cars, and Dubai’s plan to make them largely mandatory by 2026. Also - Riley invents a historical Euro-board game called Shadow Doge, ordinary Americans are given formal permission by the President to get their skin reversed by cartels, and fraud is legal again the world over.

Worst Case Scenario ft. Nathan Tankus Feb 11, 2025

Show notes

Nathan Tankus explains exactly what Musk and his little gremlins are doing at the treasury, and how this could have some pretty enormous implications for the national and global economies. Also - the killing of a sacred duck (in Venice), the spending of a sacred $30 (on eggs, by an A.I.), and the theft of a sacred suitcase (this is the last Miguel Arruda for a while, we promise…).

*PREVIEW* Can The Nephew Speak feat. Jathan Sadowski Feb 07, 2025

Show notes

Jathan Sadowski joins the gang to talk about DOGE and the destruction of mass produced, population scale knowledge in favour of the mythical folkways of Uncle Knowledge. Also - Silicon Valley putting out cash prizes for stochastic terrorism, Starmer gets the PartyGate treatment for his voice (?) coach (???), and our favourite Portuguese politician Miguel Arruda ACTUALLY makes the government more efficient.

JDPONorth feat. Liv Agar Feb 04, 2025

Show notes

Liv Agar from QAAnonymous joins us to discuss the birth of Canadian nationalism, in that suddenly Albertans are booing the U.S. national anthem. Why? Well, Trump is moving forward with 25% tariffs on Canada, threatening Canada militarily (?), and managing to get extremely dumb-guy Canadian conservatives to disavow the US with the same vigor as they supported Bernard the Roughneck.

*PREVIEW* Da Crazy Hawaiian Goes to Riyadh ft. Jacob Silverman Jan 31, 2025

Show notes

Jacob Silverman joins us to discuss the decades long Saudi operation to buy influence in the West in all its gaudy spectacle. Also - Sam Altman protests that he all that creative work fair and square, Rachel Reeves belts out a three word chant, and Power Slap is a sport of geopolitical significance.

Newly Grinted feat. Ed Zitron Jan 28, 2025

Show notes

Ed Zitron returns to discuss how a Chinese hedge fund created an AI model that accomplished much of what OpenAI’s frontier model can do, and Sam Alrman’s best idea is to apply the “kind of gets it right sometimes” energy of LLMs to running your life. Also, grand theft luggage is rife in Lisbon airport, Masayoshi Son makes a bad investment, and Rupert Grint’s new app “Grinted” makes a splash.
