Interpol have a new record out, opening track is called “This mirror weighs a ton”
i invite the hosts to visit beautiful Chicago Illinois and go on a grocery store bar crawl. Used to get very tipsy at Whole Foods happy hour in my youth
It’s been too long since Dr Janega has been on the show because you’re all missing the obvious interpretation of Bean as the archetypical image of a Holy Fool, masking his piety in apparent foolish acts to spread the good word and deliver prophecy. That drawing over the head of Whistler’s mother? The true face of God.
The NHS gender clinic in Leeds was way ahead of its time, it lied about some of my appointments back in 2018!
Bolsonaro is a difficult fight because he gets +1T from the Mark of Nurgle
When is Nova gonna come out as a nato atlanticist?
Your honor, I am a millennial with impostor syndrome and generalized anxiety
You may need this DJ Albert Einstein clock: https://img.leboncoin.fr/api/v1/lbcpb1/images/b3/5b/5d/b35b5d7bb60ed37377f888eb69ab8988e5281090.jpg?rule=ad-large
"Have you heard about this folks? About this bird, the one in the cage that sings? I know why it sings, I know, you wouldn't believe why even if i told you, its incredible."
New TF content just dropped. This caused me immense psychic damage Https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/situational-awareness-leopold-aschenbrenner-ai-fund-4dbb00a4?st=26xoDR&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
Charlotte’s YouTube channel WAS Cool Britannia for American tween/teen “teaboos” in the early 2010s. She was essential viewing in the Doctor Who/One Direction/BBC Sherlock era of British cultural exports.
(not american but i do feel personally called out)
I really thought the Kirk Fund item was going to be about Karen Attiah!
Literally missed my stop on public transit because of this episode
I think it might be time for The Bottlemen to return
This episode came up with an idea for Snatch 2 and proceeded to re-invent the plot from Snatch 1 (rigging a boxing match)
I've seen so much race science this week that I assume the future of the bet on twitch streamers company is just someone wandering the streets of bromley with a pair of calipers and classifying physiognomy. 5-1 he has a Celtic skull.
As a general z with my gen x’s mom’s music taste I started listening to Bloc Party and they’re actually pretty good. Also is Little Mix a joke to you? Pink panthress?
On the plus side, Silent Alarm really does hold up after 20 years
I'm 15 minutes in and cackling and I love you all.
it almost feels like you guys don't take this Burnham fellow seriously
I Must say I disagree with the distinction between Categorical and Moral Imperatives the hypothetical philosopher Bus driver was making, I do more subscribe to the Kantian understanding in which the Categorical imperative is the basis for moral action
Instead of Antony Bourdain, I think it's "Drollery, Directions and Dads with Hussein Kesvani”
Rowan Atkinson's Maigret was the best Mr. Bean.
Borders Books had fantastic leather seats in the bookstore cafe. Every Saturday morning I read art magazines and drank coffee in giant overstuffed chairs.
I long for the return of court jester Milo
Morrisons is the only place I've been able to reliably find manicotti noodles in the UK. What's all this then?'s rating system prompts an atavistic northern disgust in me even if I know the stores are a bit shit.
Westminster, California (home of Charlie Kirk Way) is home to a significant Cold War diaspora so it's not surprising that they lag a bit behind the area politically. Great pho, though.
Not even Shakespeare could pen a line so beautiful as "all dessert episode" looked today
I was not prepared for the phrase “biblically accurate Mr. Bean”
In my experience I feel like being a tourist in Dad culture is just being an uncle. When babysitting you're basically set-up by the locals to such an extant you cannot possibly fail and yet you feel really proud of oneself when its completed, and get to on to explain to your friends how "tiring" your selfless afternoon with the kids was.
My therapist: beach dj Einstein is not real and cannot hurt you
Small bean gaslight girlboss
geordie greep will save british culture
DJ Einstein got the Stephen Hawking meets dubstep in my head. Dubstep 1.0 was wild!
Loving the impromptu Britainology revival.
Arching my fingers and nodding as I watch the Trashfuture and Doughboys podcast universes grow ever closer.
He looks more like Mark Twain than Albert Einstein
I think Pedro Sanchez walks through everyone.
Oh I apologize, I didn't know oligarchs only. Lukashenko then.
OK, but legitimately: 'new gritty Mr. Bean who is a fallen angel' is an idea thats time has come.
We could also have the animated version be 'Mr Bean who is an angel (Evangelion)'
The American bookstore chain Barnes & Noble has a Starbucks inside most of their locations. A lot of indie bookstores have cafes too. I don't know what Americans had their mind blown by coffee in a bookstore.
I bet there's a large swath of Americans who only experience physical book browsing & buying in airports
Also, one of my transfemme friends, 6ft if she's an inch, said that she likes to listen to guys say their heights (inflated) then say "I'm only 5'9". as she's eye to eye with them It's hilarious to watch.
Doing the Lord's work, she is. 🤣 We don't care how tall you are, boys, we care if you're a liar about stupid, easily-disprovable things, as a proxy for your overall respect/lack of for us. Oy.
Stefan Voice: Libby & Charlotte.
That pic does look like the Inherent Vice movie poster, if you're wasted enough
Isn't the brat green union flag just the Basque flag??
Is it odd that I met a person who lost impulse control after a brain injury?
It's a fairly frequent thing, but that doesn't detract the fact that "your honour, ever since I lost impulse control I can't stop scamming"
Well well, what's all this then?? (I think every single one of my regular podcasts have now guested on every other regular podcast. The cycle is complete)
I, too, had a "the Communist Party" t-shirt. Thank you, Hussein. Thank you for doing me harm.
I still have and wear mine!
Cursed episode art
I just saw it after listening to it described and said “oh that IS cool” out loud lol
I have to say the advertisement for Cayote Vs Acme at 14:58 was unexpected but not unwelcome 🤣
that one meme that’s like “help i accidentally built a shelf” except it’s “help i accidentally set up a fake auditing firm”
LEGENDARY GUEST PULL Never thought I'd see the day a writer for a Quibi show guested on TF (sorry Charlotte)
the ocean's 11 style operation to retrieve the golden arm will feature charlotte as an informant on the inside
Stag do More like stag don't
magaluf but the "uf" is replaced with the roblox "oof" noise
It's the crossover one
Charlotte and Libby had to come on a main episode because a What’s All This Then/ Britainology crossover would simply be too powerful
