Getting Dilb-pilled (feat. Aisling McCrea)

This week, we're talking Dilbert and Scott Adams. Why? Well, for some reason all five of us liked Dilbert as a kid. Also, it just so happens that friend of the show Aisling McCrea (@ambientGillian) just published an article in Current Affairs about Dilbert's strange appeal. So, let's talk about it. Let's talk about Scott Adams' promise that he can make you no-touch cum. Let's dilb out.

On the Sanctity of the Pump feat. Patrick Wyman

This week we bring back historian, podcaster, and certified big guy Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) to discuss the terrible 2013 Michael Bay film Pain & Gain. What can we learn about America's descent into fascism from this film? As it turns out, a hell of a lot.

The Boney Island Whitefish in: Bonesday the Thirteenth

Take a trip back to the heady days of the Noughties as Andrew and Riley cover Naked News, Johnny Knoxville, the 2000 Sydney Paralympics scandal, the Grandma's Boy extended universe,  Coors commercial  - and even an episode of Bones.

Gross Family Values feat. Tom Walker

Aw crikey! Australian comedian and Twitch streamer Tom Walker (@tomwalkerisgood) joins the gang to learn all about Gross Family Values. Specifically, how if you’re Bill Gross, one of the world’s most famous bond investors, you’ll react to your acrimonious divorce in 2015 by writing a series of stranger and stranger investment outlooks that focus mainly on how much you hate your imbecilic do-nothing son.

The Boney Island Whitefish in: The 16th Episode Spooktacular

It's the 100th episode of Bones! You know what that means! Something fun? No! It means abandoning the fun parts of the show for a joyless slog of a flashback episode!   LEARN the origins of Booth's carefree spirit! GASP as Bones gets fired in her first day on the FBI job! SCREAM at an extravagant Dinner Update!

Britainology 4: That '70s Episode

We're back again to explain the eccentricities and fault lines of this truly normal island. This week, Milo and Nate discuss the 1970s in Britain, why everything went downhill, why the decade radicalised the Boomers, and why the TV from that era is.... not good. Hope you enjoy!

The Boney Island Whitefish in: The Case of the Missing A-Plot

Bones making people independently wealthy with her book profits! Gratuitous Toyota product placement! Breakfast update! Pretty much forgetting to put a murder in there until the end! It's all in another episode of season 5 of Bones with Andrew and Riley.

Pret Police On My Back

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a country run by and for landlords. However, the coronavirus crisis has created a problem: if people congregate en masse in offices and places of business, the disease spreads and people die! However, mitigating this requires people to not be in offices or grim city centre restaurants. So, what is the British commentator class saying about it? Die for Pret. That's right folks, you need to die for Pret.

The Boney Island Whitefish in: Murder in Coptown (Feat. @tomwalkerisgood)

The boys are joined by comedian Tom Walker to discover the mystery behind a Satanic murder! The answer lies deep in the heart of Coptown, on the corner of Spooky Boulevard...

In Search of (Even More) Racist Facebook

Have you heard the story about right-wingers who decide to build their own social media, crowdfunding, or even ridesharing sites? We're talking Gab, Hatreon, and the like. Why do they all fail? Why are they so poorly assembled? And why does this keep happening? The True Chaos Configuration of Riley, Milo, and Alice attempt to decipher this riddle for our times.

Johannes Vonk and the Clogheads Present: Honkbal Hoofdklasse (On My Radio Tonight)

Here it is: the song you have all requested. The sound of the summer. The perfect musical accompaniment for standing on the honk.

[breaking out of irony mode for a second] I can't express in words how much I appreciate the positive reception that this has gotten. Milo and I put in some absurdly long hours working on this, mostly because--like anyone else on planet earth who isn't a piece of garbage--we haven't exactly had a great time these past few months and it's been nice to find som...

Britainology 3: Understanding Home Counties Guys

This week's bonus features Milo and Nate on another Britainology, this time with Kent guy Hussein, to discuss the Home Counties and how the deeply cursed world of London suburbia has created an identity of Britishness that you've probably encountered, even if you didn't recognise it. Hope you enjoy!

The Boney Island Whitefish in: The Mystery of the Mainstream Minorities

Get ready to have your assumptions challenged as Bones presents you with the straightest gays and the whitest POCs that 2009 has ever encountered! Booth has a little brother, and their relationship is stupid! This is the humpday of episodes!

The Duffield-Chiles Complex feat. Juliet Jacques

This week we've got Juliet Jacques (@zinovievletter) on to discuss the most cursed relationship in liberal Britain: awful right-wing lib Labour MP Rosie Duffield and her ex-boyfriend, the inscrutable Guardian columnist Adrian Chiles. It's one for the ages, a star-crossed romance, and since this is Britain you can rest assured that transphobia is involved. Hope you enjoy it!

The Boney Island Whitefish in: The Last Blockbuster On The Left (Feat. Will Menaker)

Chest passes! Carefully aimed jump shots! Ball control without hot-dogging! That's right, Chapo Trap House's Will Menaker joins Andrew and Riley for an all-showrunner display of podcasting fundamentals. 

This week the brave technicians at the Jeffersonian-Medico Institute for Sexual Harassment are forced to investigate the cause of death of a very mysterious and influential historical figure! Deep respect for the boots of the American empire is sure to follow. 

We also s...

A Cheeky Coup with the Lads, Part II (feat. Joe Kassabian)

This is the follow up to this week's free episode, which is available here: https://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/e/a-cheeky-coup-with-the-lads-feat-joe-kassabian/

Why did a steely-eyed SAS veteran Etonian weirdo team up with Margaret Thatcher's son to try and launch a coup in Equatorial Guinea in 2004? Mostly because they were bored. In this episode we discu...

Keanu Reeves Predicted 5G Corona

This week, we're in the Super Chaos Configuration: Riley is gone but you have the rest of the cast. Milo, Hussein, Nate, and Alice review the 1995 Robert Longo film JOHNNY MNEMONIC, an adaptation of a William Gibson story that, uh, did not achieve its goals. And yet it's also weirdly accurate in some ways: posting destroys your brain, there's a global pandemic, corporations rule with an iron fist. And yet somehow we haven't yet encountered a cybernetic hacker junkie dolphin. If only.

We...

The Boney Island Whitefish in: The Truth Is In There (Feat. Ben McLeay)

Riley and Andrew are joined by Boonta Vista's resident alien expert as we travel  to Roswell for a very paranormal Bones! It is a real alien? No!  But imagine if it was! Pretty cool, right?  Alien race war! Inaccurate map reading! The worst sentence construction in the galaxy! All this and more!

Britainology 2: The Noble Football Hooligan

This week, Nate and Milo are discussing the 2005 film Green Street Hooligans, in which an American played by Elijah Wood goes to Britain and gets inducted into a football firm, learning a lot about himself along the way. Is it a good movie? No. But does it accurately portray football hooliganism? Also no.

Fancy Art for Fancy Lads feat. Josie Long

Sorry for the delayed release on this. During the recording we were convinced that we'd lost the entire Josie segment, so we recorded a second half that's almost the same length. As such, this is a long one, but I think you'll enjoy. It involves the elitism of the art world, Josie Long's commentary on the way in which the entire world is gatekept by the rich, and the second segment features a guy calling his billionaire friend for advice about the state of the world. The advice, as you might ...

The Boney Island Whitefish in: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlebones

It's Christmas in the Bonesverse and Santa's wearing a bomb vest! Riley and Andrew are joined by Trashfuture's very own Alice to get a Breakfast Update and examine 2009's economic mess that can only be fixed when leftists agree to stop criticising capitalism on their pirate radio station. 

The Condition of the Rudding Class in England

Flora Gill and Amber Rudd have a mother-daughter podcast. Does it suck? Yes. But it's also awkward and painful in a way that will make you see through time and enter the Hell Dimension. We made Riley, Milo, Alice, and Olga listen to it. You won't believe what happened next!

Here's a central location to donate to bail funds across the US to help people held under America's utterly inhumane system: h...

The Boney Island Whitefish in: Being Joel David Moore

We're saddened to inform you that there is no potential supernatural murderer posited in this episode. But we're very happy to inform you that at least 30% of this episode is promotional material for the premiere of the 3D Summer blockbuster James Cameron's Avatar!  We also have an update on Bagelgate, a letter from a listener and our earliest instance of Wild Speculation yet!

Britainology Episode 1: A Clump from Dave Courtney

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Britainology, in which Milo makes Nate watch something terminally British and then explains it. This week, we're watching a documentary about self-described celebrity gangster Dave Courtney, a crime doorman who thinks he runs Britain.

If you want to watch the original documentary, it's available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqARxpCpZU4

Balthasar Speedboat 69 feat. Caroline Calloway

Was it a good idea? Probably not. But we've assembled the Balthasar Speedboat cast of Riley, Milo, Olga, and Pierre for a friendly conversation with chaos demon and influencer Caroline Calloway...who Milo knows from school...and you know what? Just listen to the episode to hear him get eviscerated for his acne and an awkward attempt at a kiss. You'll love it! Or you'll hate it.

The Boney Island Whitefish in: Bring Your Grandpa To Work Day

 Riley and Andrew are back to discuss the collapse of late-2000s network television during the rise of streaming, the provincial local media of Australia and the UK, competing bagel franchises, horny grandpas in fetish clubs and spontaneous human combustion. 

All in a day's work for the internet's only podcast about season 5 of American crime procedural comedy-drama television series Bones.

Welcome Home To Megaboobs Acres feat. Olly Thorn

We're back with now 3-time guest Olly Thorn (@philosophytube) to discuss some recent scandals: the Jenrick building scandal, the scandal of weird British porn mags, and the scandal of a terrible "discussion app" that seems to think it's a debatable point that Paul McCartney is in fact still alive. Hope you enjoy!

Here's a central location to donate to bail funds across the US to help people held under America's u...

The Horniness Haunting 'Logan's Run' feat. Connor Southard

Here we are again, doing a second bonus episode for the week because we realise the profound demands for content. This episode features Riley, Milo, Alice, Hussein, and Connor Southard (@ConnorSouthard), writer and host of the Podside Picnic podcast. We discuss the 1976 sci-fi dystopia film LOGAN'S RUN, among other things. Hope you enjoy!

You can listen to Podside Picnic here: 2020-06-27 10:44:47 +0000 UTC View Post

The Boney Island Whitefish in: Bring Your Chef To Work Day

Little green men? Gold coins? Rainbows? What could this all mean? If you're the writers of season 5 of Bones, almost nothing!  Stephen Fry is here playing Stephen Fry as we're treated to "Midget Wrestling," red herrings and a bad case of Coma-Gun.

The TF Union Presents: The St. Brendan's Day Debate

It's O'Neill versus O'Neill... versus O'Neill versus O'Neill versus O'Neill versus O'Neill. It's a six-way Brendan O'Neill battle moderated by the only man who could possibly moderate a clash of intellectual titans like this: Brendan O'Neill. It may sound like @inthesedeserts, @raaleh, @Hkesvani, @AliceAvizandum, @milo_edwards, @rocknrolga, and our friend Phoebe Roy (@10kpostspod), but we must insist it is all Brendan O'Neill.

They are debating the motion: THB the chattering classes of ...
