    We've got some global finance news for you all (things are great, don't worry), a TERROR round up (things are great, don't worry), and an update on everyone's favourite nautical troublemaker (lol. lmao even).

    E454 *PREVIEW* - Don't Go Chasing Water Fails

    Are you worried about your water bills? Or the fact that the water companies have sold all their critical infrastructure, never done any maintenance, and filled every body of water in Britain with raw sewage? Well worry no longer because justice is on the horizon at last, probably. Also we welcome the return of everybody's favourite kind of article: Buffoon Columnist Writes Fanfiction About A Left Wing Politician Becoming Prime Minister. They're stealing a living, I tells ya.

    E453 - Klanopticon

    It's a news round up this week and there are Many Fine Things going on, none of which should alarm or concern you in any way, I'm quite sure. The Americans are anti-sharing, Pokemon is anti-entrepreneur, Microsoft are anti-gamer, and 1997's Labour Party is anti-going-away-and-never-bothering-us-again. All this plus a fascist uprising and Comment or Commentariat - what's not to love?

    E452 *PREVIEW* - Protein Titans

    For today's premium episode we cover some new applications of gaming tech for the British Army by yet another one of Tony Blair's spawn. We also discuss the blackshirts and their "protest" in Portsmouth and Dover the other week (this episode was in editing hell for a little while and these events had just happened at time of recording). And for our main topic, we take a big bite out of the question you've all been asking; "What's the deal with all the 'high protein' stickers slapped on everything these days?'. The answer to this question may not surprise you, but it has a lot to do with a bunch of quasi-fascist Wellness grifters pushing products on you.

    E451 - The Router All Evil

    Rob's back from his long march across the Devonshire countryside, and as is his wont he has brought terrible gifts. But before we get to that, Alasdair has an update from the international desk. It's all happening in Yemen! Humvees and high tech maritime radar for everyone; a generous present from the Saudis and Yanks as an offering to Ansar Allah asking them to kindly please leave the international shipping lane through the Red Sea open. And that gift from Rob? Well, he checked in with the Blade Runners (the anti-ULEZ ones), and would you believe that your local pedestrian crossing is blasting you with murderous rays? Yeah, us neither.

    E449 *PREVIEW* - Immunity: Total War

    It's time to put one last boot into the fetid corpse of Keir Starmer's political career before he swans off into some freebie goldmine in the mountains of Davos. Once that loser is seen off, we also talked about the London Rental Opportunity of the Week (Richie Rich Edition) as reported in the FT with excellent tips on how to make the most of the local amenities, such as "add your hinge date to your rental agreement". To round off today's episode, Rob inflicts another piece from the Telegraph on us, this time begging for squaddies not to be prosecuted under the Geneva Convention for practising Gunkata.

    Join in and nod along sagely as another homebuilding plan that'll definitely happen and make a meaningful difference comes up for the twentieth time in as many prime ministers. Keep nodding as Rob explains the middle of the beginning of the beginning of the end of the dollar because confidence is fake. Stop nodding because the episode is over, you're done now, free at last.

    E445 *PREVIEW* - Silence of the Bams

    In today's episode we issue a slight corrective on the previous episode; by all accounts Jason Arday was as much of an incredible person as he would have had us believe. In more irritating news, have you ever wondered what it looks like when a pair of far right "journalists" realise that they might have bitten off more than they can chew? Well it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it type affair but it's very whiny. We also talk about the woke 1 craze or whatever it's very silly. To wrap up, Rob has gone and found an even whinier bit of text from a hated Yank of an insectoid nature. He's mad that you're still not allowed to say the N-word in TYOOL 2026. Note: we apologise again for the noise you can hear in the background of Rob's audio - he's taken up playing soothing tinnitus noises to keep him calm during recordings.

    E444 - Robot Flaws

    This was meant to be a lighter episode. But unfortunately our hand was forced by the behaviour of the British Press once again as we felt compelled to give them a kicking after their disgusting campaign against the late Dr. Jason Arday. The back half of the episode, however, has all of your faves: Failures in logistics by the US DOD, hellspawned robots, a Turkish grifter, and new possibilities for AI in the defence industry (farcical). Note: we apologise for the noise you can hear in the background of Rob's audio - he is being tormented by some kind of banshee or siren.

    E443 - Grouse Negligence

    We're here to give you an update on how the Americans are destroying the world for their own gain. But first you need to hear about how the rich are destroying the countryside, Harry Potter fans are destroying the concept of dignity, and badgers are destroying the game of golf. So it's not all bad news at least.

    E442 *PREVIEW* - Bridges Over Troubles Water ft. Lilah

    Heat madness descends upon the pod once again as we settle in for another cultural committee. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you combined geopolitics, Rube Goldberg machines, and some of the worst accent work since Rob? Well find out right here, right now, as we watch a bunch of Hollywood titans at the top of their game.

    E440 - Autisn't ft. Malina Moris

    After a brief round up of the latest news - car is on fire, no driver behind the wheel, more at 11 - it's time to explore the greatest crisis gripping the Second Worst Nation On Earth this week: neurodivergent people refusing to buck their ideas up and get on with it like the boomers did in 1976.

    E439 - Nanny McFee

    It's a new dawn for British politics. Blunkettite thought is spreading across the country at a fever pitch; people are crazed, dancing in the streets and bellowing great yawps amidst manic laughter and tears streaming down their faces. That's right, it's a round up of Andy Burnham's new cabinet and your beloved co-hosts have been struck with the same affliction. And to truly wound our psyches, Rob adds a new entry in our "Rich People Suffer the Sickness of Wealth" reading series, this time about efficientizing your offspring's childhood memory portfolio.

    It's a heaping helping of empty calories in today's premium episode as at least two thirds of it might already be out of date. Not to be deterred, we talk about the last gasp of DEFRA before it is handed over to the political titan Angela Eagle, as well as a quick preview of what ideas the UK's new manager in chief has in store. To round it all out, David brings us the latest technology being developed by a supranational organisation who are combining the most important IPs from any millennial’s childhood: Lord of the Rings and 90s Real Time Strategy Games (again).

No, not with itself, with Sinister Foreign Powers, who undermine us at every turn and are the secret reason everything here is shit and expensive.

    We are sad to announce that we have been overtaken my events, and are therefore forced to talk about perennial gobshite Nigel Farage. He's had a rough couple of months, and we discuss the self inflicted circumstances leading up to the parade of self-pity that was his public announcement last week.
