I would totally install an Alice voice on my phone. "10 meters to your destination... you haven't arrived. You're just a sad little boy who'll never arrive." Hours of fun.
"Did I say turn at exit 250? Fuck. Shit. Just a minute....*Soviet Anthem plays* sorry, wrong drop"
"Turn left...you missed the turn you dipshit, turn around, jesus"
"If only your adhesion to the recommended route had been more rigid"
I do believe Waze lets you do this.
I want Liam voice.
Nothing like falling asleep and waking up to Liam screaming "YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU PISS FROM"
I have a general idea 🤣
Maybe they can sell ring tones to set your phones alarm to. Just Liam screaming random nonsense.

Me too. Anybody had the same second thoght?
"Uuuuuuh. There is a second guest in this!"
Alice is one of the trans voices who made me feel more comfortable about my transness, so as a trans woman I will happily say the thing she can't; I genuinely hope that every single socio pathic lunatic celebrating what this shooter did and who are crowing over the victims by saying they deserved it get to be on the receiving of everything they wish on me and the rest of the lgbtq community. Period. ✊️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Yep.
Your mouth to god's ears
Inshallah
inshallah
Fash gets the rope.
It should be pointed out that in accordance with naval terminology, HMS Captain was equipped with "porno magazines", but this term refers to the rooms used to store the ship's pornography.
I can not begin to describe how much I enjoyed this comment...
I'm just happy no one's confusing porno magazines with porno clips, for once
@@FoxMacLeod2501At least they're not thumbing them in one at a time.
Bleeping Liam’s actionable threats while keeping the track with Alice’s laugh on top of it is the kind of excellent production value and attention to detail I’m here for. Keep it up, champs
1:18:23 GOOD NEWS ALICE! I'm an American working at a vape/smoke shop. Starting out I made more money than I did as a substitute teacher. Now I manage the store and I make 11k more each year than I did as a contract STEM teacher with 5 years in the district. My employer treats me with dignity and respect and gives me PTO and sick leave. I'm also less at risk of violence. My state is run by clowns.
Something something we live in a society. A society where vape shop workers are valued more than teachers. I similarly have taken up working cleaning vacation rental properties which pays more than the average LPN earns around here and with better benefits. Thanks, I hate it!
Common capitalist L. Not that you shouldn't be making that paper but the fucking priorities of our damn country is absolutely clown shoes.
jesus I'm curious in what state does managing a vape shop pay better than being a teacher, my state has a problem with teachers against the gop legislature but they still get paid pretty good and have very good benefits
@@AsbestosMuffins not gonna dox myself but it is in the south. I will say that the benefits package isn't as generous, but I don't have kids so I don't need all the hard won union benefits for my nonexistent children and spouse. I work fewer hours too bc being a good teacher means having to work non contract hours all the time.
@@iamjustkiwi Only Children go to school, but Children and Adults vape, therefore, more value, duh.
Also, what the fuck do you do with used vapes. My wife is a teacher and confiscates them from Elementary Schoolers sometimes and we just have them with our dead batteries.
I'm imagining robot-Alice as the voice of the Half-Life HEV suit and it's making me incredibly happy.
"Administering morphine, because you've earned it."
Please, if any game developers making the next _Portal_ -like game are reading this, get Alice Caldwell Kelly to voice your sarcastic robot character!!
"Major fracture detected. Get good, shithead."
"Hey there buddy, how ya feelin because it looks like you're about to fucking die."
"Woah neurotoxin detected, administering estrogen."
"Hey maybe wear a helmet cas that geiger counter is clicking pretty badly."
It's my three favorite hosts: Alice Caldwell-Kelly (pronouns She/Her), Roz Roczniak and Yay! Liam (actionable threats optional).
Plus my favourite part of Hell of a Way to Die. (Don't tell Nate I said this.)
Liam "Actionable Threat" Anderson xD
They are not optional.
Miiiister Annnderssson, what a pleasant surprise.
Can we get an unbleeped version of episodes on Patreon?
I graduated with an archaeology degree and didn't pursue a career in it because it involved being a professional homeless person + the only options were working for oil and gas companies who wouldn't even pay out oil and gas money for this shit.
The joke in the department was "what's the difference between an archaeology degree and a large pizza? The pizza can feed a family of four"
When I was pretending to be a Uni Student there was a funny joke written on the wall of a Bathroom, next to a Toilet Paper Dispenser that said "Please take one for Arts Degree, for Honours - Wipe twice"
"How are you 27 years old and you don't know where you piss from? - I have a general idea!" Thank you, person in Liam's physical location.
I would buy a "No Ma'am, we're engineers." t-shirt
Just like art of The blues Brothers but instead of fedoras and suit coats they have hard hats and high Vis vests, still the sunglasses though.
@@AlRoderick "We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses"
"SHAKE HANDS WITH DANGER"
@@AlRoderick id buy 5 and wear them to work every day
Now ... what is the true Roz font 'tho. ?
If it doesn't exist I want a shirt with the little host characters (the show logo where Alice is holding a giant wrench).
"Bad news sire, the helmets you designed for the military were declined. Apparently rounds pierce them too easily."
"Oh blast and damnation. Oh well. A minor error. It's not like my name will become synonymous with pierced helmets."
I’m not familiar with that story, care to elaborate?
@@isengrom6883 Prince Albert, who they discussed designing helmets in this episode, is also a type of fashion piercing men can have done to the tips of their hoohahs.
LOL
@@thomaspalazzolo5902 the proper English term: bell end
"Basically a boat technical" wins best joke for this episode.
Thanks for the comments on Club Q, the event really got to me and I've been in a horrid mood ever since.
I hope everybody who enabled that attack has a /really good time/
Biden needs to give a medal to everyone who took down the shooter
Hugs. Myself as well.
Same here. I live in Denver. This hit really close to home. I hope you're doing as well as you can.
1:18:00 i work as a dishwasher in a small business restaurant. i get paid more than 2x minimum wage in my state, get a delicious freshly-cooked meal (REAL food, cooked on an actual stove with whole ingredients!), and my coworkers are lovely people. i get to listen to music the entire time and people are always nice to me.
HMS captain really is begging for a "who's on first" style routine.
"What ship shall I be the captain of?"
"The captain"
"Yes. Which ship?"
..
There's nothing I love more than ships from that awkward period where sails and steam propulsion were technologically deadlocked.
Ah. So the Captain was not a boat, it was a anchor in the shape of a boat that could pull double duty as a tomb.
Some tomb, it was open on the sides, all the dead sailors would have spilled out.
Thats efficiency as far as Im concerned
The community protected itself, the cops showed up afterwards. This is also why there should be no cops at Pride.
Because they're legally required to step in if they see child abuse
I want to see the right-wing gun nut mental gymnastics when the good guys with guns are all LGBT
@@CowMaster9001 I think you're in the wrong community if you're gonna be a terf?
@@CowMaster9001 What a good person you must be, accusing people of being legit monsters after they're murdered.
@@CowMaster9001 if you think that community wouldn't beat the crap out of anyone they found abusing kids, you're sorely mistaken... Unless you mean trans people existing is abuse in which case you can fuck right off
Really enjoying Devon's contributions that take nothing from the listening experience but add a couple extra snort laughs when watching the video
they're an artist with the edit
To answer Alice's question of "is there any field of academic study that isn't currently under decline", I think it's pretty much just software engineers and petrochemical engineers
Oh god no, software engineering as a discipline is in *steep* decline.
@@notnullnotvoid Yeah, kind of. But I would say it isn't because it is underpaid, but because of few good people in this field and to much work to handle, so overthinking and doing stuff right can't be done.
In my old company: "yeah well I have a prototype, but it will need at least a month to do it right" - "let's ship it next week"
Half of software engineers are working on how to sell AI while the other half are building stuff that actually works without having its logic labelled with a buzzword. Meanwhile HR are trying to work out how soon AI will replace all these inconvenient nerds.
My father is a man who can design and build his own boat plans but has literally never heard of "trigonometry". The first step to any naval architecture project, which involves no mathematics whatsoever, really is "look at it and think if it is stupid" and they really failed right off the bat with this one. Definitely one of my favorite engineering disasters.
Yay another episode! I recently got a job cleaning at night and I'm slowly downloading every episode to listen to again. I have a heightened appreciation for safety 3rd now. I'm a simple mom but I'm fascinated by engineering and disasters.
I respect Devon's unwavering defense of Morris dancing, they're right and they should keep saying it
But what about the dark Morris ?
@@ericfischer8295 Just don't do blackface, it's fine otherwise
@@ericfischer8295 They only do the Dark Morris in Lancre, right?
Yes and god help you if you accidentally fuck it up
@@SivakAurak Dark Morris isn't the blackface one, that's Border Morris.
It originated in the Discworld fantasy novel series and is a kind of 'anti-Morris' that ushers in winter rather than spring.
Edit: oops my bad, turns out blackface is or was part of Dark Morris too.
Me: *sees the thumbnail*
Also me: *remembers the drachinifel video on this*
Also, also me: "If this is called a disaster it'll be an understatment of naval engineering incompetence"
Same bro same
MS Schamhorst.
YES!!! I was just saying it would be awesome if they could do a show together!! Since the Captain is picked, they could easily do one on the Galena, the KAMCHATKA, or French Pred-Dreadnoughts :)
Here's a picture of the sea.
Liam: Well, There's Your Problem
Underrated comment!
Yay Liam! Yay Alice! Yay Rocz! Yay Francis!
A late apology and a Yay Devon!
is that you spell Rocz? Never actually knew that... it was one of those things that i didn't realize i didn't know until i saw ur coment.
@@JoshDoingLinux I guessed! I went off his full last name, I have no idea how he'd spell the nickname.
@@jaysea5939 ehh it’s close enough lol
... chopped liver?
Ooh another boat episode. These always reinforce my fear of ever being on the water!
If God wanted us to travel on the water, he would have given us gills!
@@Tzilandi and there would be a dozen episodes about people being popped when above the surface and turning into rigatoni
Being ON the water is fine. Being under it for extended periods is the problem
as someone who works on boats it's like... just reinforcing my conviction that all boats are bad
@@dorklygamergirl well, boats are an affront to physics. They are trying to kill you, every time.
Alice, you asked for a field that does well: I do high voltage grid stabilization in Germany, and there is strong union that do group bargaining with the industry. They pay well, do safety well and base contract is 35 hours a week 👍
About the person who saved everybody from the shooter. Many articles will refer to her as a "drag queen" but she was actually a trans woman.
Classic media
Trans women will save the world
Ok.. Let's do some fact-passing.
1: Coles and Ericson (Monitor) Turrets were distinct designs (Ericson's needed to be jacked up before it'd rotate, but didn't create a break in the deck).
2: One major factor for Captain being so unstable was that it still carried full rigging. It was also top-heavy which made it slow to right itself. But it basically got blown over until the lower deck came awash.
3. Monitor sank in a storm, but not from lack of stability (if anything she was TOO stable). Storm damage (slamming) caused a leak where the raft deck overhung the (submerged) body of the ship proper. Monitor was weird, but she was designed for "brown water" work. Several later models made it cross the Atlantic, but they were absolutely no fun to be on while doing so.
4. 20th century ship turrets (especially the big ones) are technically "hooded barabettes". That is they are built on a cylinder (with roller bearings) driven into the hull. Captain's turrets were on Spindles.
HMS Monarch also carried full rigging and it was stable. It safely rode out the same gale that sank HMS Captain. The problem with Captain was that Coles insisted on a lower freeboard and then the constructors (Lairds) didn't do a good job of controlling weight so that Captain completed over weight. The low designed freeboard meant there was no margin for such error.
Something in me loves that the Monitor and her classmates were the first true littoral combat ships.
That Safety Third... it's always fun to hear phrases like undermine and "out of their depth" in original contexts.
I recently started longsword lessons and have had the same experience with "getting the measure of someone" and "on the back foot"
Hi all. In response, I'm an industrial maintenance technician. I work with all kinds of machines and have very little supervision. I love my job. It's a new disaster every day. there is nobody doing my job and it pays great for my area.
I just got diagnosed with a lung infection an hour ago, so I'm going to take some hella prescription Amoxicillin and enjoy listening to this show about how ships are truly the cars of the sea. And as we all know: Train Good. Car Bad.
Good luck beating your lung infection. Pls check your ac condenser and any humidifiers you have going bc they can hold bacteria
Hope you get better soon, best wishes!
Looking forward to the antibiotic-resistant infection episode?
Oh that sure sucks, hope you heal soon.
And advice from someone who had a lung infection last month…if you think the treatment isn’t doing that much, go back to the doctor 😂 I didn’t do that when I needed, and now my right lung is semi collapsed and all sort’s of fucked up 🤡
Horse chaotic neutral.
Hope you're get well soon
I’m a computer programmer and I’m happy with what I’m doing. Of course, that’s because I’m a deeply weird individual who actually enjoys debugging and doesn’t really care how my work fits into the big picture.
As for the overall state of our industry, the company I work at is currently upping developer salaries due to “market conditions”, so I guess that the overall state of the industry is at least okay (for the workers).
…I’m also American and work at neither a start-up nor a crypto company, in case that matters.
I'm also a software engineer in the US and I'm generally happy with my own work and with my current job, I am *not at all* happy with the state of the industry.
@@Cynon yeah I hear the market just got a bit saturated by people who used to work for Twitter
@@danielled8665 Nothing to do with that, it has more to do with how obvious it is that non-US born tech workers are getting massively underpaid by US based companies. That's before we even mention how uberized the industry is for the most part, and how little anyone outside of it cares. There's a lot of reasons for it, some very obvious, the more critical ones less so, though.
It's real easy to put an industry with a disproportionate amount of autistic people in it on a pedestal for being wizards. Software engineer ego is absolutely a real thing, but it didn't come from nowhere.
I wouldn't say it is underpaid, but we have to few good people in this field and to much work to handle, so overthinking and doing stuff right can't be done.
In my old company: "yeah well I have a prototype, but it will need at least a month to do it right" - "let's ship it next week"
Ayo me mention!
Also, lovely episode as always. I love the HMS failsonkiller
"I have a general idea of how to build a ship" "I have a general idea of how to dig a hole" "I have a general idea of where my piss comes from"
Devon making the [extremely loud incorrect buzzer noise] louder each time
1:18:14 Alice, I'm a Professional Sound Technician. My industry is suffering chronic short staffing. Only up side is that I can demand better pay but the hours are killers.
Oh and I still can't afford a house or flat.
Sorry.
1:02:38 re-watching this some few weeks after the Titan implosion and WOW this part aged really really well huh. R.I.P. to that one kid that was forced to go down with them
A very hearty “Ahoy Liam!”
1:21:00 Corinne making a strong entrance to the pod
I wish I could understand her, but I'm missing enough words to not be able to make sense if what she's saying. :(
And, once again, we ponder the most important question of all: WHY BOAT NO FLOAT?
Just noticed the gunpla (looks like a Barbatos of some variety) on Devon's desk, they are officially the best member of the WTYP team and deserve a raise because dear god they need it with that hobby.
Kind of an interesting fact, the Royal Navy has an idea where the wreck of HMS Captain is located, but I have yet to find out if they have ever bothered to firmly locate it, and if they did if they ever photographed it.
Today, we ask a question pondered by people for centuries, to no satisfactory answers: _what_ *_do_* _you do_ with a drunken sailor early in the morning?
Have them build a boat they are unqualified to build, obviously. That way everyone on that boat has a reason to be drunk too
According to Liam, deny them service
Buy him breakfast, as a reward.
I'm pretty sure you need to remove some hair and give him tetanus, but who knows really.
You ride em into the quiet good night??
*relieved sigh* bless you WTYP. This is exactly what I need for a sleepy Friday stocking shelves
Broke : Alice Siri
Woke : Alice Satnav
Bespoke : Alice Vocaloid
I love that Liam turned into Master Shake as soon as Safety Third started. "Hurry up, I wanna get drunk!"
I am 30 or 40 years old, and I do not need this!
As someone with an archaeology degree (who now works in retail) i do always desire to dig trenches and shovel test pits in the yard. Can confirm, we all have a need to dig.
As someone who worked a lil while as a contract archeologists, i too want to build trenches like its the siege of petersburg or verdun.
@@HamSaladtv as someone who just likes trenches and fortidications, I too desire to dig a trench and live in the dirt
It smell like Buried in here
Might be because my grandfather was a fisherman and I have relatives on the coast/islands, but ships are great. Glad to hear about boat disasters.
22:30 I would absolutely love an Alice TTS program.
28:00 oh hell yeah! Alice has played Retun of the Obra Dinn! Great fucking game.
New Patreon goal: Alice voice navigation plug in. Stretch goal: AI Rocz and Liam Vacation mod where they give you conflicting directions and argue about who's correct, based on past trips.
Return of the Obra Dinn is the most Alice-ass game ever made except Police Quest
"Add Morality" "Not in the British Navy!"
"I have a general idea" great bonus material for the episode
Those Devon clips are still fantastic. The way they turn to the camera and back, as if we've just interrupted their work, perfect!
Archaeologist here that pivoted to a field that is doing surprisingly well: esoterica
As to why it is so sad for British Archaeology being shit it is because the SYMBOL of imperial power that British archaeology was; you'd think then that the bigwigs would fund if only out of a reactionary nostalgia
RE: podcasts in cars - I haven't tried WTYP because printing out the slides and reading them while driving would be unsafe. However, I have a lot of episodes of Trashfuture and Britainology burned to CD for playing in the car. It's been genuinely really helpful for long journeys, especially while the theoretical train alternative is Avanti West Coast.
For listeners who are also confused, 1.4 m is about 1.5 yd or 4 1/2 ft. You're not supposed to let the whole get above your shoulders, it's not considered safe. Liters, to the everyman, would usually be used to measure water-based fluids. So 90 L would be about 45 soda bottles or 24 gallons. However sand, being denser than water, at a fully laden capacity would be about 144 kg or 60 soda bottles. That's a lot to have dumped on your head.
Just to say, live in a midwestern hellscape but my job is to demo houses and commercial buildings, land clearing with heavy equipment, and we're currently installing an industrial saw mill to do anything with all the logs from tree cutting jobs and land clearing. The pay is little better than average, the days are sometimes long, but it feels REAL good to tear down stuff with giant excavators.
I'm so glad that I'm listening to the one podcast. The only podcast that exists
Hello WTYP, I am a stagehand and it’s a pretty good time to be one right now. Can’t say for the future but for now I am content with my work.
YES YES YES!!! We get historical naval disasters!!! If only you could get Drachinfel on the show!! You should do the history of the Russian ship KAMCHATKA!! Now THERES a disaster!!!! Lol
Rin is now my favorite co host. I fucking lost it.
Next episode: female anatomy starring Rin (soon to be) Anderson
@@woutertje62 Called "I have a general idea." 1:21:54
Like unironically though? Human anatomy in general is a disaster, and that goes double for the female reproductive system.
It's really not that uncommon to not know exactly where you pee from because it's not as readily visible in a female anatomy. I only found out in my early 20s by using a mirror (before then I thought I pee from my clitoris since it is the penis analog). AND I HAVE A BIOLOGY DEGREE.
I likewise only recently found the actual location of the urethra. When I first heard about it, I thought it was this indent at the base of my clitoris, which is actually the clitoral hood
Look, when you pee sitting down and don't need to manually aim, it's just not that important
Did you not look down for 20 years? Anyway, the clitoris isn't analogous to the whole penis, just the glans and half the spongious tissue
@@lyndonwesthaven6623 For some reason the expression "manually aim" in the context of peeing is very funny to me.
I think my brain is broken.
@@michimatsch5862 Turning auto-aim off
Hi Alice my career in Electrical Engineering is going well. In the land of "everyone must learn to code" the hardware guy is still king
Boston Molasses Flood Disaster!
coming up next week!
so exciting!
re: what jobs *aren't* decaying, I'm a software developer for a faceless amoral megacorporation working on putting people out of work and I gotta say, it's going well. The managers are very reasonable about moving deadlines when needed and maintaining reasonable requirements, the pay and benefits are excellent, my hours are short and flexible, and the work is interesting and well suited to my skills. And because my division is by far the most profitable bit of the company it's been untouched by layoffs.
My uncle's field is going quite well. He's an environmental scientist of some sort, currently studying the effects of climate change on a region in Texas. He's working on figuring out the surface area of all the trees in a neighborhood.
I liked the German engineers that were brought in to make sure the recycling plant ran correctly. Those two had fun going to Paterson, NJ for work.
Liam shouting out the *Glorious Victory* against the huns from down south made my day
I'm in the multifamily building construction industry, specifically HVAC/plumbing/fire protection engineering and design, and it's doing great. imagine my delight when alice listed "HVAC guys" as the first example
I just had deja vu about the pod talking about Morris dances, and about me having deja vu about the pod talking about Morris dances.
But without the photos. Devon's assuring me that I'm not in a time loop.
For once in my life; I don't say this to brag. But for Alice, as an airline pilot I feel like our industry is in an excellent position regarding our safety culture and commitment to proficiency and professionalism. Thanks, ALPA.
That said, the barrier to entry is extremely high and only very motivated people with a lot of cash to burn (or willingness to take on a degree's worth of debt) end up actually making it to the airlines.
To answer Alice's "where did all the archaeologists go" - we went into other, non archaeo fields that allow us to do such things as eat, pay rent, and live in one place without chasing new jobs all over the world every few months.
YES I can't believe it, it's my favourite meme boat! Pondered for months as to whether or not suggest the topic since finding out about you guys, this is gonna be a hell of a lot of fun!
But is it a better meme boat than the KAMCHATKA ?
@@ericfischer8295 Ooh fair point. Okay second favourite meme boat!
Due to humanity's long history of fighting on (and against) the sea, there are many worthy candidates for "worst naval vessel ever". This one gets my vote.
As a (Australian) Construction Electrician who works on road lighting ITS and traffic signals, we are on a steady incline. University teaches engineers they matter, society teaches them they are merely company scapegoats.
I'd like to point out that for those of us with AFAB bodies, it's not like we have to hold the part that we piss from when we use the toilet. We just sit down. Not knowing the exact body part the piss comes out of is not that surprising. Or is this a reference to not knowing all of our organs, their functions, and how the whole system ties together? Cuz most ppl aren't going to know those details without taking an anatomy class.
Like, WTF is the gall bladder for? IDK, but I do know that I've known way too many ppl that have had to have theirs removed in their early 20s. And apparently the spleen has something to do with our immune system? I only know that cuz I freaking googled it out of sheer curiosity.
But yeah, the kidneys clean our blood and the waste is sent on through the system and eventually becomes urine. I knew this on some level, but I don't think I really understood it until after I ended up in a relationship with someone who has kidney disease.
Gallbladder secretes bile, which assists in digestion, especially of fat
Welcome to well there's your engineering disaster it's a podcast about slides with problems
O Captain, my Captain,
There's my ship, rolling down
O Captain, my Captain,
Two by two, we leave the bow
I’m a union truck driver. Things are great! Unless you want any benefits after working 60+ hours a week.🎉🎉🎉
At the 35:21 mark they start talking about a Missouri creepy masonic prom thing at the Ritz and I can't find information on it. I believe it's real I just want to read more about it. My mom and grandfather were in the Eastern Star and Freemasons respectively in our small Missouri town and she never heard about it till now, and we want to know more. If anyone would be cool enough to give me a link I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

I'm enjoying Devon's edits a lot
This episode's Safety Third is the reason why in my country commercial archeology excavations are handled directly by museums and thus by the state and an academic institution. If you turn the salvage and rescue excavations over to the private enterprise who's also running the construction project within a deadline, you end-up with 40+ archaeologists working without a coordinating effort or any supervision. Luckily our field is not a high risk one for work hazards, but the results you'd receive from a less than perfect coordinated and supervised excavation results almost always in a huge data loss. So (even though it is too late for me) to cut it short, any commercial archaeology operation needs some amount of academic supervision if you want to end up with more than some broken potsherds and whole lot of frustrated future archaeologists who has to read through your excavation reports.
"much like the internet, the entire podcasting industry is held up by one really stressed out ginger guy in London"
Are you trying to tell us that Nate is a furry?
1:21:35 "I have a general idea." I can't stop laughing.
I think the funny part of all of the Alice AI gag is that there is an AI unit named Alice in a Gundam side-story. Only got reminded of it when I realized Devon also has a Barbatos model kit on their side desk!
I do really enjoy being a car mechanic: the pay is good, at least good for Nebraska. I do fine with time off. The job itself is more the good kind of challenging than the annoying kind of challenging. That isn't universal, but the thing about the car mechanic trade is that if you don't like where you're at you really can take your toys and walk the fuck out and you will have a job within a day. Push comes to shove you just go into business for yourself. A good boss realizes this, and will treat employees well.
Also, what patreon tier is Alice as a sat nav voiceover? I could spend a couple of bucks to be called a cunt whilst driving in unfamiliar places. Then Roz could talk about various trains I'd pass, and Liam makes actionable threats everytime I drive by an Amazon warehouse. The perfect accompaniment to any navigational situation.
I think the mummers are a just an adaption of those cakewalk dances (which, coincidentally, were big in Philly up til the 1940s ...right when the mummers took off). Also, coincidental fact about the history of Philly theater in the 1800s! It was incredibly racist! We popularized the cakewalk and black face productions in the North Which is why no one talks about it anymore, even though they were obsessed with it into the 60s.
I'm a housekeeper. Business is good. Young people are busy, and there are a LOT of old people in the world today who need help around the house. I gave myself a $2 raise last year and plan to do it again this year. It's not a very respected profession, but every time I think of getting a "real job" I see that I'd be making less money and dealing with a lot more stress.
Yes! I just watched Drachinifel's video on this bad boy and was thinking it would be a perfect topic for you guys!
The buzzer gag about commercial archelogy was great.
THAT PARTNERSHIP SO SUITED ME THAT NOW I AM THE RULER OF THE QUEENS NAY-VEE
I became so riche that i was sent by a pocket borrough into Parliament.
I always voted with my parties core, and never ever thought for myself at all.
I thought so little they rewarded me by making me the ruker of the queen's navy!!!
The amount of excitement I had when I heard Francis' voice, which I now recognize because I've been binging WAHOAWTD, is palpable. And yes, I am just too stupid to look at the video thumbnail.
@28:02 don't worry Alice, I got your joke and I thought it was very clever.
@32:41 I work at a liquor store in Vermont, I can confirm that Nepalis also love Hennessy. And Johnny Walker Black or Red. But literally only those liquors, which is...interesting. I also probably have the exact same guy trying to buy Fireball while intoxicated as Liam, because that story is remarkably close to my own experiences.
HMS Captain, this is what happens when you let someone that knows nothing about naval ship design, design a naval ship
That was the summary of the incident report.

28:02 Alice mentioning Return Of The Obra Dinn and nobody picking it up 🥲
I don't have a gun for the mentioned reasons, however I am a sword lesbian so I do feel relatively safe in my house

Sorry to report this to Alice, but the industry I work in that isn't managed declining itself to death is Hardrock Resrource Extraction. Even someone like me can make pretty good money doing a pretty easy job with pretty alright opportunity for advancement. Gotta get that shiny metal out of the ground.
> Now, I would hope that most people would be smart enough to be like 'Oh, that experimental ship? That looks cool! I'm not gonna put my son on it though.'
Impressive how truly badly this aged.
