113 - NEOM: The Line (feat. Riley Quinn)
Added 2023-11-15 07:00:05 +0000 UTCRiley 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.

2024-10-02 02:22:54 +0000 UTCWhat 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

2023-11-30 18:10:15 +0000 UTCI 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”

2023-11-20 20:03:56 +0000 UTCYou 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!
