A Tepid Bath of Startup Juice
It's the free one!
Starmer, in a bout of what some people are calling “Extreme Popularity,” is relaunching his government after only a few months, despite winning basically a historic majority. He’s turning to the tried and tested policies, the old favourites - running government like a business, cutting the budget, and of course… a cop in every house. Also, we look at two Thiel Companies (Sauron and Orchid), and an exercise in public speaking gone wrong courtesy of our friends at 404 media.

"A machine that takes out 'bad actors' with a bullet" is a lot of words to say "a cop", or "John Hinckley Jr."
Unrelatedly, the riff about an army of 7ft tall sons, beginning with Barron Trump just screams "Barron Trump, Primarch of the Ist Space Marine Legion" in the worst Warhammer slash fic ever made
completely superfluous to the episode, but i just got my avignon popes tshirt in the mail yesterday, and i cannot express to you the temptation inherent to the fact that i did my masters degree dissertation presentation today i was seriously considering wearing a dumb joke from this podcast for the most important 15 or so minutes of public speaking in my life to date
“Waits of no more than 18 weeks”- even as an American, that’s a dystopian goal for a medical system.
The plural is actually Kevins Hart.
The phone is ringing, Kier Starmer checks the caller ID and discovers in horror that it's the Mashallah Department
The Delaware riff is actually really close to the real history of the state. Delaware got carved off of Pennsylvania during the revolutionary war because of the necessity of defending its sizeable coastline, and the the pacifist leanings of the quaker contingent in PA.
Everytime I hear about "the farmers", i can't help but think of the Housemartins song
Rich guy crying because when the cops turn up for the dead Evri driver they take away his parcel as evidence
Wells' The Time Machine, except the Eloi think they're participant-evolved psychohistorians with their hands on every tiller, heedless of the fact that their household AI devices are remotely piloted by Morlocks.
Only Assad can win here.
November, you know you're a nerd too. 😉
There's a good pizza place near the Anduril offices and the stupid nerd name always agitates me when I drive by.
Those Orchid guys sound awful, someone ought to surgically remove them from the economy, if only there was a single word that described that process
Prime Suspect already did a “genocidal optometrist” arc back in 2003. Britainology?
When the civil war first started there were jokes about Rand Paul being an optometrist and unwilling to betray a fellow sight brother
Choose your own adventure: - drink from the puddle that makes you gay - prune within the tepid pool of civil service - banished to the lagoon
no matter what, in britain you are damp and prone to mould
“We *had* pledges, those were lies” REALLY got me
Wait Starmer is doing “secure borders?” Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the UK only has one land border, which very famously cannot be secure…
The host leaving, November and another member of the pod riffing until he gets back… is this well there’s your problem??
What is Louisiana, then? Nigeria?
Holy shit, lmao
Bonus ass intro lmao
Lost my entire shit at "kurds kurds kurds"
Going to buy a box of ferrero rocher and a box of ferrero raffaello. You get to eat the pieces you take.
Midway through the game you'll both start actively trying to lose when the desire to win is outweighed by guilt for eating too many chocolates.
The universal McDonald's badge....there's your national ID.
I thought we already had that with the Starbucks app?
The black book of communism including all of the Podcasters that were never born.
Open air drug markets are another beautiful San Francisco tradition that these silicon valley assholes are trying to get rid of
posting my agreement from audible proximity to the hippie hill drum circle!
so if it makes you feel better about the security these CEO guys have I was on drugs for literally every shift when I was a guard for the Pinkerton's so like the level 1 corpo goons aren't like that frightening
milo’s jfk took me out then I remembered a story in gore vidal’s united states about jfk and bathtubs and I got sad again
They’re the Delewites
Wasn't it around the time of the fox hunting ban when the freaks started calling them "Zanu Labour"??
Man Kurds Kurds Kurds got me 😂
The lagoon shirts are killing me. I should get those for my graduating class of Ravenna High School (the lagoon we were banished to was Lake Erie)
If you though de-banking was bad just wait till you hear about delisting. What did HTS do to warrant being removed from the list of proscribed terrorist organisations... Cancel culture has gone too far
Al-Julani first needs to be assessed by multiple psychiatrists after a years-long waiting period before he is legally allowed to change his terrorist status on his birth certificate
Laurence of Appalachia?
Also, in this wacky EUIV alternate timeline where America becomes Syria, surely the Mormons are equivalent with the Druze.
Sauron? Read another book... 💍🧙🏻♂️
I can't believe some actually read the Lord of the Rings and decided Sauron was a good name for a product.
