The Equitable Lagoon feat. Tom Walker
It's the free one!
This week, Tom Walker (@tomwalkerisgood) joins Riley, Milo, and Alice to discuss some recent NEOM-related news—particularly, some comments from NEOM-affiliated architects at the Venice Biennale. But we’re also talking about a recent story in the FT where all financial journalists got scooped by a random news site in Antigua…owned by a pizza-enthusiast editor who is also an ambassador to three countries, a lawyer, a doctor, and an Instagram guy. The whole thing is an experience.

This is, by a wide margin, my favorite TF. Each and every bit is a banger.
Came back to this 2 years later, and my first thought was,"who tf is Alice?"😆
I came back to this episode and, just to check, had a look at Antigua News’s Wikipedia page. Dario Item is, it turns out, continuing to scoop the world’s financial press on all Credit Suisse news, even to the point that he’s been cheerfully using his diplomatic immunity to reveal information that the judges in the case have ordered not be shown to the plaintiffs. Dario Item should and must be invited to come on TF to provide Pizza to all!!
Came back to this a year later and I cannot believe how many bangers are in one episode. Gina Rinehart's poetry, milk your Blood Boy, Ron DeSantis spokesman Brian Griffin, NEOM, the Equitable Lagoon AND Dario Item. Absolutely incredible
That is an astonishing Homer.
I'm hearing a lot of rumors you've been banished to the lagoon!
i promise that "I've heard rumors you've been banished to the lagoon," will become a common aphorism in SE Michigan.
Returned to this six months later and it still has me crying laughing. Def an all time great podcast episode full stop
I'd like to specify that Dario Item has active and separate websites at darioitem.com, dario-item.com, darioitem.org, darioitem.net, darioitem.press, darioitem.info and darioitem.digital
Downloading this and preserving it in amber, so future generations will know where the legendary lagoon riff came from.
You fucks genuinely did get me to start reading the FT.
An all time great episode, but I have very important news: Dr. Dario Item follows back on Twitter.
and oh boy is dj morphosis from kettering suuuuuper racist
You will all be pleased to know tgat Gina Rinehart has been named West Australian of the year.
Missed an opportunity to say CRIMINAL MIMES but honestly this is an all-time banger ep
[pedant] the Venetians fled the terra firma from Aquileia, not Ravenna [/pedant] Still I nearly shit myself laughing
“Cuno’s heard you’ve been banished to the fuckin lagoon” did not get enough love imo
Been a lil while since I cry-laughed but the lagoon bit nearly killed me, so thanks for that
Leeches are still an acceptable form of treatment under the NHS, so no one is better equipped to save the blood boy than our beloved podcasters. (This is not a joke.)
Aren't those meant to drain excess blood after surgeries + infusions or something like that?
Dario Item really is just like the bad guys from Lethal Weapons 2, with the stacked diplomatic immunity
Dario Item is a real life Questing Beast, every time you look, new keywords
Hey Lois! nyehehehehe
This conversation should be banished from Patreon, and flourish in the lagoon of Dario Item's YouTube page.
it wasn't just the goths, it was alaric, put some respect out there
don't put it in the papers that I got banished to the lagoon
i fuckin love when Tom is on the other pods
Riley showing infinite patience in this one
love listening to the robin williams memorial podcast.
WELCOME TO TEH TIDES OF HISTORY WITH FUCKIN CUNO.
cannot stop imagining the pigiron school of minecraft and related industries
The "banished from Ravenna to the lagoon" bit had me laughing so hard I cried.
Fuck me sideways. An all timer.
Sir Dr. Reverend Dario Item Esquire is a kind of guy that I thought last romed the earth in the age of windjammers. A goddamn living fossil! Please, please PLEASE het him on the pod
Slightly disappointed by Alice who I thought knew some German not recognizing Himmelb(l)au as obviously an architect
Ok the family guy impressions are killing me. They’re spot on
I love the fact that Riley has been doing this show for half a decade and yet didn’t seem quite prepared for several minutes of family guy impressions after introducing a guy called Brian Griffin hahahahaha
the architecture briefs sound like high-concept drag acts
Dammit I was laughing from start to finish! Knocked it out of the park today team!
nearly pissed my pants on the train man. it was embarrassing
Darin Item has a different personal youtube channel titled Dario Item which posts shit loads of shorts from lovely beaches
This is genuinely one of the funniest TF episodes I can remember.
"You can try" 💀💀💀
Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer is a hell of a grab lol
RIP Bryan Griffin
Damn it, now I've heard "inherited several mimes"
A moment of silence please, for the CIA serious mime squad. Their brave sacrifices to secure coca cola's profits across the Global South will not be in vain. The people of Indonesia will finally know of the sweet refreshing taste of Coke Life. Godspeed, brothers o7
kids these days would rather found a more equitable society in a lagoon than work an honest job picking legumes
Dario Item has a book. "Money laundering, legal privilege and international cooperation in Switzerland"
HerMiney Granger
Ambassador, lawyer, doctor.. Are you sure that ain't the Bald guy from that Internet site 😉? You know. The astronaut, policeman, etc...
So they just kept going on about that lagoon thing hey...
A guy was called Peter Cook and it broke Milo
Wait, is this Australian billionaire the Down Under version of Princess Margaret?
Y’all belong in the lagoon because you’re absolute goons (would the lagoon have boat-bound laHoons?)
Whomst up being banished to the lagoon?
AND RELATED INDUSTRIES
It seems like the Honorable Ambassador Dr. Dario Item might come on the podcast if you just call him on the phone
8 Miles deep
best cold open in the history of the show
12:30 Isn't this just the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
You should send Dr. Item a shirt!
