Hannibal l'Equity feat. Ethan Shone
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.

The absolute spinal instinct to skip about 1:45 seconds to get past the heart radio ads. Looking forward to watching Atze'Quali's career though. He could go far if he's not cut short on the temple steps.
So sad that Riley had to sacrifice the Goonch with an obsidian dagger. I know the ratings gods had to be appeased, but the morning zoo just isn't the same without his assorted gubbins.
Now it’s the mourning zoo
This is the reason the mets lost the NL championship series yesterday and i will not forgive you for that
The gods have not smiled upon us and instead have given us yet another Dodgers v Yankees world series
hot take ‘work coach for people with serious mental illness’ is exactly what was going to happen in this system when we rebranded ‘mental illness’ to ‘mental health’. can i, a white middle class person with lots of education and coping mechanisms and a stable financial safety net, figure out how to do my job despite depression/anxiety/adhd? sure. can we expect every person with serious mental illness to do that - absolutely not, that is fucking cruel.
that cold open is so good. i would pay for a whole podcast about the mesoamerican ball game
also having listened to a lot of early episodes of WTYP in recent weeks, it’s rich of November to call Riley out for going on long (and interesting!!) tangents (ilysm, never stop the tangents)
As an Australian Riley mispronouncing “Macquarie” made me so confused and I was thinking “jeez, these guys have such a similar name to the Sydney based investment bank, I wonder how I’ve never heard of them before!”

Personally dislike the framing of overweight=unhealthy because it's just accepting the same framework that some bodies would be good to be changed, just from the perspective of saying it's class issue. I can agree on food security and quality, as well as free time as all being things that are scarce when financially and temporally poor, and should be amended. I can't agree however with the framing of doing so would lead to a desirable change in bodies because those bodies are deemed indicative of problems and thus the bodies are a problem to be solved. Also y'all were almost there with realizing the whole "you didn't earn that weight loss" concept behind using ozempic, so that if you don't use it you're shamed and if you do use it you're shamed. Fatmisia has a disgusting grip in western society.
To a certain degree it is a class issue. To another degree it's a drug addiction. Literally the worst thing you can do to your body is to be overweight. Not a single animal in the wild survives being overweight.
I'm SO HAPPY with that cold open, I've loved the mesoamerican ball game bit since day one, this is a gift, absolutely splendid!

Wait wait wait ….is Wes Streeting’s appetite suppression scheme for the poor just the plan of the sinister Halycon corporation to reduce food costs in THE OUTER WORLDS?
holy shit. not only is that london zumba benefit real, they’re holding similar live zumba benefits in nyc and long island in november. they ask that people bring reusable water bottles and positive energy only please

I want to know whether Riley's pulled "Traffic and weather together at the top of the sundial" from 680 News or just as a generic radio saying
top of the hour is a pretty generic turn of phrase i guess
Naming your start up Alethea is so bafflingly pretentious. It’s a greek philosophy term that means “truth” or “disclosure” 💀

Waiting for the Ballistic: Lagoon vs Ballgame moment. I need it
That opening right there makes my subscription worth it 👌
More than one work coach has already suggested I apply for a position at the job centre. Much like teaching, it's already a Ponzi scheme
the perfect eternal makework project. an ourobouros unto itself
I‘ve been hearing way too much about ballgame since Taylor Swift started dating that Kaminaljuyu City Chiefs player
