Summary

The madlads from TrashFuture are back! Sean is joined by Riley (@raaleh) and Nate (@inthesedeserts) to discuss the very public meltdown of, well, you know, the entire British civilization. As it turns out, things in the UK are even more bleak than they appear from across the pond: supply chains breaking down, petrol stations empty, services being cut, etc. But even more dire, and darkly funny, is the reaction of the British ruling class' which absolutely refuses to rule. Put on your schadenfreude caps before queuing up for this one.

Always happy to be back on the Antifada

to remind America that don't worry,

0:40.0

there is another country that is throwing itself into terminal decline sort of a little faster than you.

0:46.7

Well, thank you for that. I think it's something that America should aspire to, but actually I think we're already on that.

I was going to introduce Trash Future as

Britain's number one culture and politics podcast. I'm not sure if that's true, but it sounds pretty good.

You guys are doing great over there. You know what? Because ultimately British

1:03.6

broadcasting is weirdly walled off with mostly X TV comedians and BBC people and

1:09.4

so it's incredibly, how do you describe this? Kind of stuffy and kind of boring.

1:13.4

And so if you do a show where you're willing to make jokes

1:16.5

and talk to people that aren't, you know, screened out
