Post-Shug Clarity
We've found another terrible startup: a billion-dollar-valuation 'plastic recycling' venture that is too dangerous to actually work (but would absolve the oil industry of any need to change its business model). It operates via a concept called shuggling. It also has yet again involved a promised factory in Ohio that will never exist. Prepare to get shuggled.
(Editor's note: this episode has some slightly throwback sounds because Hussein and Milo's mics were, uh, suboptimal. I have done my best!)

Shuggler does like an old victorian job that was later rendered obscelete, by doing something very obvious that made it way easier. "And all the Shugglers used to line along the Thames banks, plying their trade..."
Shuggle like shuckel? Because shuckeling is the Yiddish word for swaying back and forth which kind of sounds like the process
Its apparently an Irish loan word for a rocking motion, which might have a Yiddish origin itself in Shuckel. I can't find any reference to the word older than the shuggling stone (a several-ton glacial boulder in Ireland which someone can rock back and forth several inches with one finger or the aid of a stick) and i can only find that name recorded by the mid 1800's. English has shuffle, from the late 1500s, and shake, which is from old norse, so you can kind of see the words tracking west over time like that, the idea that some or all of those are loanwords that developed as the people were exposed to Yiddish isn't unreasonable even, but you would probably need someone to actually do the research there to prove it better than my half remembered history!
Looking forward to the Bhopal Recycling Center
Shuggle!

Shuggling truthers seeing straight through TF shuggling FUD
"a foundation that distributes plastic explosive to at risk youth" isnt that just the FBI counter terror group?
I like to think of shuggling as a tribute to the old Glasgow trams, known as "shooglies" since they rattled and shook so much.

I looked up Dr Bill Dingus, it turns out there are at least two Drs Bill Dingus in the USA, which is wild
"almost beat up a guy on the floor..." dudes rock "wildly antisemitic" dudes no longer rock
Dudes rock, but the rock in question is shit 80s Neo-Nazi band Skrewdriver.
Also, the only new businesses that open in Ohio are microbreweries.
I would absolutely buy a toga that said ECCE HOMO on the back of it
