Drone Striking the Table of Success feat. Mattie Lubchansky

For this week's bonus, our friend Mattie Lubchansky joins us to discuss NYC mayor Eric Adams, a man who claims to have invented the concept of slowly boiling a frog--a man who cannot stop lying about everything, as well as being a paranoid cop. We hope that your haters become your waiters at the table of success. We hope so very much

Wonko the Sane didn't live everywhere. He lived Outside the Asylum, (the asylum being everywhere on earth). The wallpaper was to try and make it nice for them.

Re. The triton sensors bit… “noise anomalies” wasn’t that Riley’s album of the year 2019

Riley once again disqualifies himself from hosting the podcast because he forgot that Arabic numerals are actually Indian numerals and that Indians invented the concept of zero. This is Indonesian GDP/export balance erasure all over again. Riley is Ind(ia, onesia) phobic.

One day you guys have gotta talk about the South-East Queensland council of mayors deciding that the only shared plan (at the moment) for regional transport during the 2032 Brisbane olympics is “battery powered air taxis” Like Brisbane just also spent the cost of a light rail system on battery powered electric buses that the mayor is calling a “metro” to run on the already existing bus rapid transit and claiming it’ll change transport forever despite no new areas receiving coverage, these councils are ripe for scrutiny and no-one in this city has a podcast (there’s more than anti-hoon laws I swear!)

Riley, the city didn’t really “decide” to be run by banks in the 70s. The banks (and President Ford) decided that the mayor would be their waiter at the table of success, to use a metaphor

You can dissolve many common plastics in hot propylene glycol, so air so thick with vape clouds disabling drones is theoretically possible.

The mouth taping stuff is from the Buteyko breathing therapy which is woo woo overall but this bit is mechanically the same as mouth shutting attachments to sleep apnea machines, as ensuring breathing goes through your nose helps those with obstructive sleep apnea. There’s no clinical support for taping per se while I reckon it helped me a bit while I saved up for a machine, not available in our skeleton public system in Australia. Anyway not bonkers as a mechanism.

idk about other countries but they do enforce that drug law in jamaica - i renewed my US visa there this year and multiple people in the room with me had their immigrant visa apps rejected bc they failed their drug tests (all because of weed). but it's not like insurmountable, they just make you do a twelve step programme and retest you in a year. i only know this because there's zero privacy in those visa interview rules, they're essentially playing all the convos out over loudspeaker

Note sure if you're on the desktop site or phone, but on the desktop site you have to click the episode name so it takes you to the episode's specific post (as in your not just looking at it in your feed) and then click the "..." button. There you will see the download link. Pain in the ass, but they changed it a few months back for some reason.
