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.

Excellent! You should have Riley on to talk about Warhammer next

Release the Actionable Threats cut.

I'm very impressed you all were able to get Werner Herzog to narrate

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

Riley not talking about wine, or techno? Unheard of! Nevermind : first seconds it's a hit. It's Riley baby

Förfäders spår

please keep giving josh the chance to yell about trains, I live for it

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.

hell yeah TF crossover

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”

Also, Elie Phillips has the best spokesnarrator voice! “Edge on the cusp of possibility” hahahaha! Weeeeeeee!

The scale of desalination that neom would require might alter the climate in its own right.

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

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

Ngl, it took "human catapult" to dissuade me from Heptagon
