TRASHFUTURE

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.

MINI-SODE ALERT! FULL 'SODE NEXT WEEK! The Garbagemen Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Charlie (a digital hermit) sat down to discuss a lot of the funniest and best takes on the Hellscape of Late Stage Capitalism (tm), but the internet crapped out after a short period of time. I suspect a fiendish plot to make me stop posting. But we nonetheless managed to salvage a fun little snippet of our meeting of the minds - it may sound like we're doing racist caricatures of Italian American accents, but those are our real "no foolin" voices. Eyyyyyy my real name-a-duccio is Broshoot Fugghedabowdit. Like and subscribe on facebook, follow us on twitter @trashfuturepodcast, and other than that, grind yourself to dust under the boot heel of the Business Industry until we're back with in full effect next week.

The garbagemen are back and boy do we have a mass noun for ourselves. Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Charlie (who doesn't want to be disturbed #online) talk about more wifi connected bullshit, a butt plug that protects you from avalanches, the conspiracy in your IoT enabled smart home to have you killed, outsourcing caring for a dying relative, a celebration of microchipping day, and excitedly queuing up to get on Admiral Steven Seagal's boat. We also demonstrate a special kind of "super brain yoga" that may help solve the healthcare crisis in the states or just give you sweaty palms. more like sweater PALMERS. lol. Yet another of our "fabulous" remote episodes because Riley's in Canada because his dumb family wants to be all together or whatever. But fear not because he never. stopped. posting.

James done dropped the psuedonym and is just going by his Real Christian Name, Riley, from now on (still @raaleh on twitter). Send me nudes rendered entirely in roses to show your gratitude. Milo (@milo_edwards) and Riley (TRIUMPHANTLY HIS OWN NAME) are joined by Dmitri Bakanov (@dimitribakanov) to talk about a kitchen gadget so expensive you won't be able to afford food, sandwiches that get more expensive at lunchtime because... efficiency I guess... and a hip new restaurant that is Definitely Not Going To Give You E. Coli For Sure. Thanks, late stage capitalism. But like, also follow us on twitter.

James (twitter @raaleh) and Milo (ig @milo_edwards) are back, joined by Ahir Shah (@AhirShah) in James' girlfriends front room to talk about probably the dumbest invention yet, having sex with c3P0, KFC hype, and the brief but storied reggae career of Stephen Seagal.  Ahir has a Very Fun And Good show in Edinburgh all August that we forgot to talk about because by the end of the show I had sweated through all my clothes. It's called Control, and it's at the Laughing Horse @ Cabaret Voltaire at 2 PM. Go see it, fools. This episode was recorded on July 19th. (Note the original version had misaligned audio - updated and fixed)

James (twitter @raaleh) Milo (insta @milo_edwards), and Charlie (twitter @cfppalmer), talk about the wave of megalomania among billionaires, introduce some new characters, and make a serious number of digressions that nearly pre empt us from doing much of our stated mission. This one was remotely recorded in mid July because I was in Berlin for basically no reason. We talk dumb hygiene equipment, neofeudalism, and other fun things.

Comedians James (twitter @raaleh), Milo (insta @milo_edwards), and Charlie (#online on twitter @cfppalmer) assert that they are, collectively, so two thousand and eight, whereas capitalism is so two thousand and late (stage). That joke was very laboured. We recorded this episode in early July so like it wont be current. Modernity sucks so we're gonna make fun of it. We talk about some dumb shit we saw recently, like: CEO's sleeping "rough," a surprising tea maker, and our amazon prime day traditions.
