The Utopia Project

📣 This week the boys are back with a Halloween special full of flying cars, off-grid living, questionable Halloween traditions and some seriously strange ideas!They debate whether flying cars are actually the future or just another pointless bit of technology, discuss the dream of escaping modern life and going back to basics, and redesign trick-or-treating for the modern world.Then things get increasingly unhinged as the boys battle it out over Halloween ideas, choose the perfect soundtrack for a very questionable situation, dive into World War Two games and modern warfare, before creating their very own terrifying Halloween creatures!Who wins Creature Feature? And which Halloween monster deserves to haunt your nightmares?🎃 It's The Utopia Project Halloween Special!......sort of!🌍 The Utopia Project is a show involving 3 best friends on a mission to try and build a hypothetical utopian planet, free from all the mild annoyances and gripes of real life. ✈️ Come on a journey with them as they create their own dream planets and discover what their guest's perfect worlds would look like, on The Utopia Project!💥NEW EPISODES EVERY WEDNESDAY & SUNDAY!💥📣EARLY ACCESS TO UNCUT & UNCENSORED EPISODES ON PATREON!📣SUPPORT THE SHOW!:👕 MERCH : https://www.tuppod.com/⭐️ PATREON: https://https://www.patreon.com/Utopiaprojectpod👾 DISCORD: https://discord.gg/DqqnF3nbFollow/Like us elsewhere:🟦 https://www.facebook.com/utopiaprojectpod🟧 https://www.instagram.com/utopiaprojectpod🟥 https://www.tiktok.com/@utopiaprojectpod🎧 Listen 📺 Watch 👍 Like 🔄 Share 🤍 Subscribe💌 CONTACT THE [email protected] submit them anonymously though https://www.listenersletters.comFollow the team:🕵🏻‍♂️https://www.instagram.com/im.chunky.t👨🏻https://www.instagram.com/jakmagik👨🏻‍🦱https://www.instagram.com/the_permanant_sharpy👨🏼‍🦳https://www.instagram.com/voornySponsored By Liberty Slice Co.🍕http://www.libertyslice.co🍕http://www.instagram.com/libertysliceco00:00 Intro & The Rock Theory05:15 Flying Cars, Elon Musk & Future Technology11:36 Escaping Modern Life & Living Off-Grid16:54 Halloween Special & Trick-or-Treat Ideas20:19 Why We Don't Love Halloween26:57 The Origins of Trick-or-Treating33:24 The Next Halloween Challenge39:11 Choosing the Ultimate Dark Soundtrack45:14 Modern Warfare, Drones & Conscription50:02 Supporting The Utopia Project52:06 Creature Feature: The Halloween Beasts57:34 The Werewolf With a Terrible Curse01:02:08 Halloween Special Finale & Live Show

📣 This week on The Utopia Project, Chunk, Jak & Sharpy are joined by tattoo artist Jason Sinclair to talk about the "Life Project", an initiative using tattoos to help people honour loved ones, remember life-changing experiences and give something back to people who’ve been through the unimaginable.Jason opens up about the story behind the project, how one family’s experience inspired him to do more, and why a tattoo that takes just a few hours can mean a lifetime to the person receiving it. The gang explore the emotional connections people build with their tattoo artists, the stories people share in the chair, and why sometimes the experience matters just as much, if not sometimes more, than the tattoo itself.But obviously, it can’t be serious for too long…The boys get to planet building, and Jason has come up with Planet Gary. Expect a questionable national flag, a Nokia ringtone national anthem sung by retired nightclub bouncers, emergency potatoes, and some absolutely baffling ideas that somehow start to make sense the longer they discuss them.Strap in.🌍 The Utopia Project is a show involving 3 best friends on a mission to try and build a hypothetical utopian planet, free from all the mild annoyances and gripes of real life. ✈️ Come on a journey with them as they create their own dream planets and discover what their guest's perfect worlds would look like, on The Utopia Project!💥NEW EPISODES EVERY WEDNESDAY & SUNDAY!💥📣EARLY ACCESS TO UNCUT & UNCENSORED EPISODES ON PATREON!📣SUPPORT THE SHOW!:👕 MERCH : https://www.tuppod.com/⭐️ PATREON: https://https://www.patreon.com/Utopiaprojectpod👾 DISCORD: https://discord.gg/DqqnF3nbFollow/Like us elsewhere:🟦 https://www.facebook.com/utopiaprojectpod🟧 https://www.instagram.com/utopiaprojectpod🟥 https://www.tiktok.com/@utopiaprojectpod🎧 Listen 📺 Watch 👍 Like 🔄 Share 🤍 Subscribe💌 CONTACT THE [email protected] submit them anonymously thoughhttps://www.listenersletters.comFollow the team:🕵🏻‍♂️https://www.instagram.com/im.chunky.t👨🏻https://www.instagram.com/jakmagik👨🏻‍🦱https://www.instagram.com/the_permanant_sharpy👨🏼‍🦳https://www.instagram.com/voornyFollow Today's Guest:❤️ https://www.instagram.com/jasonsinclairtattoosSponsored By Liberty Slice Co.🍕http://www.libertyslice.co🍕http://www.instagram.com/libertysliceco00:00 - Welcome to The Utopia Project00:50 - Jason Sinclair and the Story Behind the Life Project05:00 - The Meaning Behind Tattoos and Giving Back10:00 - Turning the Life Project Into Something Bigger15:00 - Why People Open Up in the Tattoo Chair20:00 - Helping People Matters More Than Follower Counts25:00 - Tattoo Studio Stories, Customer Loyalty and Authenticity28:29 - Let's Build a Planet!

📣 📣 This week the boys are back with another wild trip into Utopia! They talk expensive Toby Carvery lunches, massive 100-inch TVs, dodgy fire safety signs, becoming a DIY handyman and the rality of going to gigs when sober!After the usual catch-up, the boys get into the Utopian games, where they battle it out over marble cake and mysterious swirly toys, create two completely different versions of "The Raven", and decide on some new Laws of the Land for the gym that results in some rather worrying role play! Expect rubber ducks, billionaires, Batman, potholes, compliments, and absolutely no professionalism.🌍 The Utopia Project is a show involving 3 best friends on a mission to try and build a hypothetical utopian planet, free from all the mild annoyances and gripes of real life. ✈️ Come on a journey with them as they create their own dream planets and discover what their guest's perfect worlds would look like, on The Utopia Project!💥NEW EPISODES EVERY WEDNESDAY & SUNDAY!💥📣EARLY ACCESS TO UNCUT & UNCENSORED EPISODES ON PATREON!📣SUPPORT THE SHOW!:👕 MERCH : https://www.tuppod.com/⭐️ PATREON: https://https://www.patreon.com/Utopiaprojectpod👾 DISCORD: https://discord.gg/DqqnF3nbFollow/Like us elsewhere:🟦 https://www.facebook.com/utopiaprojectpod🟧 https://www.instagram.com/utopiaprojectpod🟥 https://www.tiktok.com/@utopiaprojectpod🎧 Listen 📺 Watch 👍 Like 🔄 Share 🤍 Subscribe💌 CONTACT THE [email protected] submit them anonymously thoughhttps://www.listenersletters.comFollow the team:🕵🏻‍♂️https://www.instagram.com/im.chunky.t👨🏻https://www.instagram.com/jakmagik👨🏻‍🦱https://www.instagram.com/the_permanant_sharpy👨🏼‍🦳https://www.instagram.com/voornySponsored By Liberty Slice Co.🍕http://www.libertyslice.co🍕http://www.instagram.com/libertysliceco00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Toby Carvery, Expensive Food & Massive TVs05:00 - 100-Inch TVs, Fire Safety & The World's Worst Fire Sign10:00 - Fireproof Signs, "Gobbo" & A Very Rock 'n' Roll Gig15:00 - DIY Handyman, Broken Extractor Fans & Going Sober20:00 - Liberty Slice Co. – Authentic New York Pizza21:00 - Stuff or Things – Marble Cake & The Mysterious Swirly Toy25:00 - Local Legends – Meet The Raven30:00 - The Raven, Batman & The World's Most Confusing Billionaire35:00 - Patreon & Supporting The Utopia Project37:25 - Law of the Land – Gym Weights & Complimenting Strangers42:00 - Final Scores, Live Show & The End Of The Podcast44:24 - Goodbye from Utopia

📣 📣 This week the boys are joined by Paul & Rob from Lincoln post-hardcore band Bat Flattery - and things get weird very quickly.The lads talk about how Bat Flattery started back in 2020, the band's ever-changing lineup, their upcoming 16-track album and the genuinely ridiculous story of how their original drummer ended up playing a barbeque and a suitcase!They also get into the eternal argument over music genres, guilty pleasures, separating the art from the artist, and why sometimes it's easier just to call your band "rock" and let everyone else argue about it.Paul & Rob go head-to-head to build their perfect planet, including biblically accurate flags, road burgers, Gold Coke and the introduction of the legendary National Red Button Day!and let's not forget the peaceful and thought provoking effects of the the greatest logo ever created and one of the most unexpectedly passionate & emotional arguments we've ever had about something so "beautiful"Classic times.

📣 This week, Chunk, Jak & Sharpy discover that you don't actually need to buy anything to have a great day out... apparently you can just go to Currys and try everything instead! From test-driving MacBooks and sitting on ridiculous sofas to treating electrical retailers like a theme park, the boys discuss the art of browsing with absolutely no intention of spending any money.They also investigate Baggy's revolutionary approach to fixing a broken TV, debate whether you can simply turn up at a restaurant and "just have a look", and reveal the latest ridiculous businesses for Utopia in Risky Business.Then it's time for Thunderdome, where the boys have to find the perfect superhero to become Utopia's electrician, before Word on the Street introduces us to the terrifying phenomenon of the "Cram Pam"!As always, expect plenty of nonsense, questionable logic, and three best mates trying to make the perfect planet slightly more ridiculous.🌍 The Utopia Project is a show involving 3 best friends on a mission to try and build a hypothetical utopian planet, free from all the mild annoyances and gripes of real life. ✈️ Come on a journey with them as they create their own dream planets and discover what their guest's perfect worlds would look like, on The Utopia Project!💥NEW EPISODES EVERY WEDNESDAY & SUNDAY!💥📣EARLY ACCESS TO UNCUT & UNCENSORED EPISODES ON PATREON!📣SUPPORT THE SHOW!:👕 MERCH : https://www.tuppod.com/⭐️ PATREON: https://https://www.patreon.com/Utopiaprojectpod👾 DISCORD: https://discord.gg/DqqnF3nbFollow/Like us elsewhere:🟦 https://www.facebook.com/utopiaprojectpod🟧 https://www.instagram.com/utopiaprojectpod🟥 https://www.tiktok.com/@utopiaprojectpod🎧 Listen 📺 Watch 👍 Like 🔄 Share 🤍 Subscribe💌 CONTACT THE [email protected] submit them anonymously thoughhttps://www.listenersletters.comFollow the team:🕵🏻‍♂️https://www.instagram.com/im.chunky.t👨🏻https://www.instagram.com/jakmagik👨🏻‍🦱https://www.instagram.com/the_permanant_sharpy👨🏼‍🦳https://www.instagram.com/voornyFollow Today's Guest:❤️ https://www.instagram.com/baggysixSponsored By Liberty Slice Co.🍕http://www.libertyslice.co🍕http://www.instagram.com/libertysliceco00:00 - Intro & The Hunt For A Lovely Lunch05:00 - Test-Driving MacBooks You Can't Afford10:00 - Why Currys Is Basically A Theme Park15:00 - Baggy's Broken TV & The "Ten X That Shit" Problem20:00 - The Boys Consider Joining MI522:49 - Risky Business: Bob Ticket Co.27:00 - Counterfeit Tickets, Beans & Getting Revenge On Your Enemies30:40 - Thunderdome: Who Should Be Utopia's Electrician?35:00 - Ant-Man vs Thor: The Ultimate Superhero Electrician38:56 - Support The Utopia Project On Patreon40:49 - Word On The Street: "Cram Pam"43:00 - Cram Pams, Trains & The Worst Seat On The Train45:00 - Final Scores, Outro & Welcome To Utopia
