    They're going to link a bunch of trucks into a kind of convoy connected by chains and deliver your electricity to your house in individual packaged batteries

      Would literally be better than what they're doing now, which is saying "freeze poors"

      Friendship with trains ended.

      Now pipes are my best friend.

      Yes, subways are just pipes for people, wires are pipes for electricity.

    Alice has been uncharacteristically coherent and less likely to derail the pod on the past couple of Trash Future episodes. If that carries over to WTYP I might be able to keep track of what they're talking about without all the tangents for once.

      now if only they could organize the recordings at all so she isn't always eating through the first like hour of them.

        A podcast so disorganized they need a PowerPoint, and it’s still incomprehensible.

    Can't wait for 1 and a half hours of Alice saying bad jokes from Twitter and a half hour of Justin managing to be funny and engaging by himself.

    Seriously if the podcast were just Justin talking for a half hour it would be immensely better.

      The Franklin series he did before the podcast, discussing urbanism while playing Cities Skylines, is that. He's engaging but it's like Drachinifel. An expert speaks in monotone without any kind of incentive to dumb it down or explain something further in the episode. I like the idea of pairing him with a humanities graduate and someone else who also knows the subject material but isn't concentrated on a script. They just haven't nailed meshing their personalities and roles yet. It's like Chapo's early episodes when they were just three shitposters and an organiser. Better than the few few episodes and their pacing has improved a lot, but I think there's a sweet spot between them that they'll hopefully find.
