TRASHFUTURE

Riley (@raaleh) Milo (@milo_edwards) and, guest host Pierre (@pierrenovellie) conclude our marathon recording session with Matt Zarb-Cousin (@mattzarb), talking about Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBTs), the digital slot machines gracing every betting shop in this geohell of ours... and how they're being beaten. We also talk about a brilliant new kitchen gadget with one moving part and zero moving brains. Like, share, and follow to OWN CAPITALISM Love, kisses, and revolution, Riley PS: I miss my old sweat pants so much

No Hussein (@HKesvani) or Charlie (@cfppalmer) this week; instead Riley (@Raaleh) and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) are joined by Pierre Novellie (@pierrenovellie)... and Matt Zarb-Cousin (@mattzarb), an actual smart person (!) who shows for the second half of Part I, and all of Part II - which is out tomorrow. We talk about Perkbox - a company we may have started beefing with on twitter (we see you Perkbox) for giving bosses seeking employee engagement an alternative to "just pay them more, idiot," and Hampton Creek, a $1.1bn technology platform that exclusively makes weird mayonnaise. Like, follow, and subscribe my late capitalist subjects!

The garbagemen (@raaleh, @milo_edwards, @cfppalmer) sit down with Hussein Kesvani (@HKesvani) to talk about Bullshit Jobs - people taking abuse on Twitter for Virgin Rail while Rome burns. We also talk about a compurerised denim jacket you have to charge before you wear, and try to parse an article about a new kind of search engine without a search functionality. Like, share, subscribe, and send us nice letters if you can find our address.

Riley (@raaleh) Milo (@milo_edwards) and Olga (@rocknrolga) sit down for what is probably the least coherent episode we've ever recorded. We talk about the Bodega, which is a stupid start up that invented a vending machine in order to spread poverty around the world, and about the Inspiration Trust's newest kid jail in Great Yarmouth, which requires you to shit in a bucket while making full eye contact with a teacher. Because of respect. STREET respect.

Aidan (@AJ_Taco) joins (@raaleh) Riley and Milo (@milo_edwards) to chat real estate in London, the world's Worst Thing. Aidan has a show and a blog called The Abersham Flat (http://theabershamflat.blogspot.co.uk/), detailing his experience living on the fringes of London housing, with an insane con man pretending to be his landlord. It's absolutely fucking wild. It's one of the last Edinburgh episodes before we start recording again.

Holy wow it's another Edinburgh episode. This week we sit down with returning guest Alex Kealy to discuss... The SMALT. Perhaps the dumbest product yet for the biggest non problem yet. And then, after the break we read choice selections from a book called Little Wins: The Huge Power of Thinking Like A Toddler, by Paul Lindley, the founder of Ella's Kitchen. Like all the best business books, it reminds us the secret to entrepreneurial success is to be so wealthy and well connected before you even try that you're basically guaranteed to succeed even if you constantly trip up over your own dick. Paul, please come on the show.

So there was just too much dumb stuff going on, and we HAD to do a bonus ep with the boyos. In reverse order: Steven Seagal did a horrible thing with a horrible man we needed to explore. NEEDED to explore. Like I was gonna get pancreatitis if we didn't explore it. Doctor Madsen Pirie of the Adam Smith Institute is also totally not an alien, and wants to teach the Tories how to reach millennial voters... by giving... tax cuts to the rich. And legalising "cannabis spliffs." We learn how to do mindset through brain breaking hostage negotiation tactics.

Riley (@raaleh) and Milo (@Milo_Edwards) sit down for another Edinburgh episode with Emily Robinson (@see_em_play) and Olga Koch (@rocknrolga) to talk about probably the stupidest invention yet and then hear a couple stories of socialist organising in the UK from Emily, who's an actual person who does things. Olga is not #online so we catch her up on some stuff that's been happening in the last year. We also found a book on the Dangers of Communist Kurdistan and decide to read a selection. Alt-Right Dick Van Dyk makes an appearance. Fair warning, 50% of us watched The Emoji Movie / recorded The Emoji Movie episode earlier that day, so we REALLY lose the plot toward the end and degenrate into madness. I think we forget English at some points.

EDINBURGH EPISODE NUMBER TWO No Charlie (@cfppalmer) this week, so Riley (@raaleh) and Milo (@milo_edwards) kidnapped our friends Alex Kealy (@alexkealy) and Lulu Popplewell (@lulu_popplewell) and rolled into the Edinburgh cinema at 11 AM one fine August morning and literally BROKE OUR CEREBELLUMS watching this gossamer web of dreams unfold into the body horror phantasmagoria that is... THE EMOJI MOVIE. The Emoji Movie is basically the tape from the ring, but the ghost girl comes out of the screen immediately and instead of killing you, she just lobotomises you. I've bought three timeshares since making this recording. Fuck you all for making me do this in theory. You can check out Alex's show, the Art of the Keal, in Edinburgh at Just the Tonic at the caves, every day at 4:20 (nice). Lulu's show, Chumbags, every day at 5:45 in Southsider. You could probably sell them both reverse mortgages now.

It's the first Edinburgh episode! Pierre Novellie (@pierrenovellie) joins 2/3 of the garbagemen, Riley (@raaleh) and Milo (@milo_edwards) to talk about the past, which we hear is the new future, as time is a flat circle. We talk nostalgia, erotic illuminated manuscripts, and a problematic confederate monument to haemherroids. We also talk about some technological things, including dumb inventions and some more sinister inventions. If you're in Edinburgh, and by some miracle tickets are still available, buy them early and often to Pierre Novellie, 9:45 PM every night at the Pleasance.
