The Bronze Age Collapse 2 ft. Patrick Wyman
It's the free one!
Patrick Wyman joins the gang to discuss social collapse and legitimacy throughout history, as we try to apply some of the lessons to certain societies that have been thrown into chaos recently. Not naming names, but let's say United K. Or no, that's too specific - how about U. Kingdom.

I heard they want to build one of those moon hotels here in Las Vegas if they do I'll go and let you know how terrible it is.
This is why I subscribe to this podcast. Nowhere else can I get Shogun Trump, Colonel Acaster and a discussion about The Bronze Age. No-one's doing it like TrashFuture
Looking for a someone with their Moon in Virgo and their One-True-Moon™in Serpentarius
Audio tracks don't seem to be synced correctly
"As fun as moon is" Riley there is more than one now; it's "As fun as moon ARE"
Colonel Acaster questioning whether the empire is coming home was the hardest I've laughed in a long time.
Wyman's audio track is two seconds ahead compared to everyone else
Bronze Age perverts doing the Bronze Age bonus voice
Colonel Acaster sounds like multiple of my relatives
I can imagine the ubiquity of gas prices and their link to legitimacy similar to the Mycenaean palace system. Joe Biden is supposed to use his power to get good trade deals for the goods for use in the temple or gas pump, but through some other crisis on the other end, he can’t get the number to budge and people start to complain
Oil Baron voice but with a John Brown quote, "I am quite certain that the sins of this land will be never be purged away but with blood"
so what we're saying is that they're literally building Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino
"I'm going to ruin this country as fast as possible, WR speed run" "HOW? " "TRUSS ME BRO" I'm my defense this pun sounded well inside my cranium
For the record Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize in Economics (fake Nobel) winner captioned a graph of the pound's value cratering "A loss of Truss" so I think you are in "good" company, inasmuch as you could be a Nobel laureate writing for the NYTimes.
Either my brain is fucked or Nate is still on vacation.
Now shurely you don't expect us to believe that this charlatan is a tiiime traveller and not the padre familia of a Ford dealership in the greater tristate area?
Colonel Acaster chasing everyone off the acropolis and Sengoku Jidai Trump accidentally causing a Ikko-Ikki freedom convoy
colonel acaster 😍
Oh my god this episode is so ripped
Throughout the whole moon in Dubai bit my brain was just picturing the Whalers on the Moon ride from Futurama
I was thinking to myself, "It seems like Riley can defeat his co-emperor by simply discussing the history of the Orient," and then Milo dropped his Bakumatsu Trump saying "I'm gonna say it, folks. He's a no gun." You'll get him next time, Riley.
the people demand that Riley never win
Another factor in the Canadian real estate example: unlike in the US, if you owed more on your mortgage than the house was worth, the lender was able to come after you for the difference. It was therefore much more difficult to get out of net-negative mortgages, which ended up inflating house prices.
this is fucking insane
Literally building a Tour de Moon..
