Ten Thousand Posts

Oakeshott Across the Bows

In this (once again) very late episode, we talk about one of our favourite days in 2015, when the whole world came together online to come to terms with the fact that Prime Minister David Cameron put his (possibly mid?) dick inside a pig. It was a moment that Cameron can't ever escape from, which means he has done what we wish we all could : log off forever.

We also talk about why Phoebe hates the Pig Poop Balls meme, Why Dartford and Detroit are twin cities with their own versions of club music, and the time when British journalist Isobel Oakeshott slid into Hussein's DMs.

I Knew Him, Ratio

After a bit of a hiatus (because work sucks, I know), we're back with a seemingly now outdated episode, but nonetheless, charting a historical moment in the history of posts. 

We talk about the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the strange phenomenon of "Ruthkanda" among the Liberal Posterati. Which leads us to talk about Paul Krugman who, while winning the Nobel Prize in 2008, will now always be known for "that 9/11 tweet", which resulted in a historically unprecedented Quote Tweet ratio. We're not sure if that moment will ever be topped, but then again, there is a US election on the way. 

I'm Butter Baby

This episode happened by accident. We were supposed to talk about a very powerful poster, but got too carried away with the cold open, that it became the first "Tweets of the week" show. 

In this episode, we talk about two kinds of baby - one covered in butter, and one not. And then, we talk about how John Milbank, one of the "Blue Labour" philosophical figureheads, got mad online about t-shirts. We also talk about corpses as property, and whether disavowing necrophiles is actually extremely problematic.

Hack The Planet!

On this week's (very late) episode, we talk about the 90's movie "Hackers" - a vision of what a world where this thing called "the internet" might change society somewhat, and how a group of sexy, crop-topped teenagers who would later go on to work at Google and Palantir, are the only people who can stop it. 

We also talk about whether dinosaurs are just big cows, why there's no better form of self care than to let out a long Moo, and we talk about the best poster in the world, Donald Trump,  and his press conference in which he warns about the dangers of leftists running around with bags of soup. 

It's Been Six Days Since You Looked At Me ft. Ryan Broderick (@Broderick)

On this very late edition of the pod, we're joined by Ryan Broderick, who writes the very good (but sadly, Hentai sparse) Garbage Day newsletter, covering all the weird, bizarre and surreal elements of the online hellworld. He also is a co-host of "The Content Mines" podcast.

We were meant to talk about Bodybuilders dot com, specifically, a 2008 thread in which lots of beefy himbos are convinced there are only 5 days in a week. But, because we aren't losers who write notes, we instead talk about Fred Durst's golf vines, nights out in Hemel Hempstead, a dispute on anime forums about whether Hentai is colonialist, and, crucially, how I (Hussein) have lived a lie my entire life.

All The Short Kings

Our guest rescheduled, so this was a last-minute episode where we talk about Emma Kennedy's amazing tweet about how a deer spontaneously combusted, and how a CIA agent is the only person who has seen pictures.

 

We also talk about whether bootleg anime is a form of imperialism, and we discuss the 2017 movie "Downsizing", where everyone becomes a Short King, but somehow society still sucks just as much. Plus, why Ja Rule and Tom Delonge should host a BBC show about UFO spotting. 

WAP stands for Wet Ass Pigs

On this week's episode, Hussein (@hkesvani) and Phoebe (@Phoebe_Rosa_holly) discuss Fred Durst's short-lived podcast, more about how "Short Earth Theory" works, and about the 2019 "30-50 Feral Hogs" tweet – one of the last fully pure posts that could withstand the 2016 discourse machine. 

The Tragedy of Danny Dyer ft. Milo Edwards

This week, we examine Britain's finest actor, Danny Dyer, who, while promoting a movie about a guy with two wives, posted one of the greatest tweets about 9/11. In so doing, he insulted the Taliban so much that there was no Islamic ruling of what could or should be done with him.

We also talk about how 9/11 killed Nu Metal, the psychology of Essex, UK Pimp My Ride and why Milo's Michael York voice is a form of gaslighting. 

The Ocean Is Long, But My Wife, She Is Curvy

In this episode we debut Chad Phoebe, who has finally been released from the tin can voice prison and no longer sounds like an angry goose. We talk about Robbie Tripp, the guy who defined the term "wife guy", simply for proclaiming his love for his Curvy Wife - and how that spurned an entire genre of Wife Guys, who simply cannot get over the fact that they have a wife. 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2017/08/06/how-a-mans-viral-instagram-ode-to-his-curvy-wife-went-from-required-reading-to-mocking-meme/

We also talk about the Moon, Fred Durst and, most importantly, why we need to make the oceans and seas shorter.

We Hate It Here

On this episode, we talk about one of our favourite Tweeters, Brandy Jensen, who summarised the hell site, and why none of us will ever log off, better than anyone.
