113 - NEOM: The Line (feat. Riley Quinn)
Riley Quinn (Trashfuture) and the lads bear witness to the highs of TROJENA and the lows of OXAGON as they dive deep into the theoretical quackery and architectural absurdity that is the Saudi Arabian “city of the future” project known as NEOM. Topics include the inspirations for NEOM, the logistics of constructing Venice II, and the horrifying reality of building a toaster prison in the middle of the desert.

Ngl, it took "human catapult" to dissuade me from Heptagon
What if we had a series of parallel staggered trains? For a few hundred billion we could stagger high speed relays along the Line where you get out 1 train, walk 5 min to another train, and keep going...in the same direction
if you want to see the ecological future the line is being built for a reccomend you enjy relaxing documentary video game by ebb software called scorn
Important NEOM update: https://thecradle.co/articles-id/24316
The scale of desalination that neom would require might alter the climate in its own right.
Also, Elie Phillips has the best spokesnarrator voice! “Edge on the cusp of possibility” hahahaha! Weeeeeeee!
I think Brian should be given his two buckets and brought on to design the “experiences” in Neom. Skiing or otherwise. Would love to be a fly on the wall when they pull a gun on him. “But we really need everyone to wear masks”
hell yeah TF crossover
You joke about Dale Earnhardt being the saddest day of 2001 but I swear there were more "In Memoriam" and "3's with angel wings" stickers in truck windows than any about 9-11!
Threanhardt. Three. Ralph. Earnhardts.
Extremely good commercial this week!
So glad Riley brought up The Boy Canal again
please keep giving josh the chance to yell about trains, I live for it
Riley not talking about wine, or techno? Unheard of! Nevermind : first seconds it's a hit. It's Riley baby
Hearing that their idea for water is desalination, something that is currently threatening to come to my town and utterly destroy our (closed) bay ecosystem is... Certainly Something
I'm very impressed you all were able to get Werner Herzog to narrate
Release the Actionable Threats cut.
Excellent! You should have Riley on to talk about Warhammer next
