TRASHFUTURE

It's a fun romp that includes a visit to Jay Shetty's fantasy land, a co...

The trash fam did a brief set as part of Alex Kealy's (@AlexKealy) monthly comedy night at the Comedy Grotto, with all profits going to Syrian Refugee Relief. Ahir Shah (@AhirShah) stepped in to help us rubbish what has turned out to be probably the dumbest AND most insidious product yet. Follow your beloved hosts on twitter - Riley (@raaleh), Olga (@...

Hey Trash Fam - it's a new week and therefore a new episode. The gang (Riley @raaleh, Milo @milo_edwards, Hussein @HKesvani, and Elena Cresci @elenacresci) talks about about our progress through no pee january, the Spectator's list of reasons to be cheerful (they're dumb), the plan to replace the border force with "Dad's Waffen SS," and Toby Young's Defense of Toby Young by Toby Young.

Hey you absolute savages. A few of the trash gang gathered around, sans guest, to break through the constant flux of drunkenness/hangover (except ethical boy Hussein), to bandy about some online nonsense. Today we have @raaleh, @milo_edwards, @hkesvani, and @rocknrolga.  We talk about Regular Man and Aspiring Hillary Clinton Toilet Peter Daou's propensity for targeted harrassment and extending the...

LATE WEEK BONUS EPISODE We talk to Ooabah Butler (@Oobahs) about how he gamed Tripadvisor to get his fake restaurant into the number one spot, and the determined weirdos still trying to get reservations. Then the most funny thing that has ever happened on our show happens. We also go into a dumb product (extra dumb) and Oobah's newest project, building a sex robot "for the many." On this episode w...

It's the spookiest season of all... the Boo-lidays. No guest this week - Riley (@raaleh), Abi (@AbiWilks), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) talk about inspirational business dullards, how pictures of cats on the ethereum blockchain cost $100,000 and burn holes in our ozone layer while making like two tech dipshits rich for no reason, John Rentoul's circumscribed vocabulary, silicon va...

The first episode featuring the fifth robot lion of our dumb internet Voltron! Journalist Abi Wilkinson (@AbiWilks) arrives as a guest and then is hoodwinked into leaving as a full time host because Hussein does the Get Out hypnosis on her.

MINISODE ALERT! The era of bad audio is over, but I've managed to salvage one other clip we did a while ago on net neutrality to tide you over until we release a new full episode (in this, the new good audio era) tomorrow. Alex Kealy (@alexkealy) sat down with Riley (@Raaleh), Milo (@milo_edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) to talk net neutrality, and the convo is so dang scintillating, Nikki (@Nikk...

AUDIO WARNING. Riley (@Raaleh) fucked up royal and the entire episode recorded on the native laptop mic, rather than the very good mixer... so this is a rough, ready, TRASHFUTURE LO FI EDITION for your listening (dis)pleasure. I promise it'll be fixed up next week, as I'll have fired myself as producer. The boys (including @Milo_Edwards and @HKesvani) are joined by guest host Olga Koch (@rocknrolg...

Another half sode this week pals... but this time, it's due to technical issues. My computer ate the second half. This was an episode we - Riley (@raaleh) and Milo (@milo_edwards) recorded with comedian Phil Wang (@PhilNWang) last month, and we bullshit for a while about a few dumb inventions and other fun nonsense! We recorded this episode last month, just before Hussein (@HKesvani) joined up ful...

Riley (@raaleh) Milo (@milo_edwards) and Olga (@rocknrolga) sit down for what is probably the least coherent episode we've ever recorded.
