This episode was suspiciously on topic the whole time. Not even many interuptions. Is everyone alright?
Yeah, it's not even 1,5 hours! Something is fishy.
Being held at gun point by the "keep it to the point!" Folks will do that to you
glad they enjoyed their caving trip though
"What kind of car was Jesus in the Cars universe?"
They say so in the first movie: a Chrystler.
Aahahhahaha
Boring and reliable (at least until the 2010s), so that checks.
I'm not happy that my first thought was: technical?
@@boydsinclair7606 See, now that asks the question - Does ISIS exist in the Cars universe, and if so, are they all Toyota Hilux technicals?
With the added bonus that Walter P. Chrysler was Jewish.
I just realized my wood stove is a small, well engineered and useful tunnel fire.
Yes.
I don’t think it counts as a tunnel unless you can travel through it.

WTYP: A podcast about all the horrific ways to die underground, with slides
Liams advice: Avoid fish
WTYP Undivided: Don't go underground
"Well, There's Your Tunnel"
It's like a cave. But on fire.
What episode number do we think the inevitable Vegas loop fire with at least a dozen deaths will be?
@@dwavenminer 120 at most
"It's a cold trailer, that's the opposite of fire." You can't have frigid without RIGID.
Words of wisdom, right here. Both of you.
clearly they needed to make it more (f)rigid
My Thesis of WTYP:
1. Build everything more Rigid
2. Stay out of the Hole (Cave)
2.a Stay out of the Man-made Hole (Tunnels)
3. Stay out of the Sea
what is the sea but a massive hole that's flooded
4. Don't be Dutch
Train good (except Pennsylvania and New York Central)
Car bad
Brunel is a loser
The cool factor of a given pneumatic rail system is directly correlated to the average size of the animals it reduces to viscera.
5. Just leave
6. Don't breathe the gas that makes you stupid
7. If you're ordered to ignore safety procedure, get that in writing
8. Don't make love to a swamp monster
safety third writers should switch away from "and possible guest" to just randomly guessing who might be the guest on the episode
like leading off with "hello roz, alice, liam, and hopefully victoria scott"
If I send in a "safety third", I'm sending either "hopefully mia mulder" or "hopefully (insert random celeb here)". Just imagine Rocz reading out "and hopefully Joe Rogan" lmao
"hello rocz, november, and liam and hopefully not gareth dennis because that would mean Rail News is happening"
"Hello, Devon and those three stooges who hog the glory"
@@Madhouse_Media Now THIS is the play.
Canadian Leftist here. You got the freedom convoy completely correct. Legit thank you, a lot of people are totally fucking wrong. This is a petit bourgeois Beerhall Putsch.
Going to make the same comment;
I'm ashamed to find out that Pat King guy is from my home town.
They have Trump flags. in Canada. to me that sounds obvious enough.
yep, and trudeau pulling a… trudeau sr. about it kind of lends it legitimacy. i hate that part.
So true. If there were any working-class sentiments at the beginning they were quickly co-opted by the reactionary small/medium business owners. The majority of truckers are facing much more pressing and real issues, like terrible wages and working conditions.
We have Crisp Alice and Chip Liam. Truly a cross-culture podcast.
Rocz is a pierogi.
cream chipped Liam
its pretty impressive the truckers managed to piss off The Teamsters, UAW, multiple car companies AND the fuckers that own the ambassador bridge (WHY IS IT EVEN PRIVATELY OWNED?)
It’s called libertarianism, white people ask why they can’t have infrastructure Japan, South Korea or China have and that’s why.
@@zeitgeistx5239
Libertarianism. As if we needed to make Americans more selfish.😠
Anarcho-Capitalism. Trying to make neo-feudalism seem hip and happening.
@@grmpEqweer Whats more fuedalistic than communist oppression?
@@wtice4632
Actual communism hasn't ever been achieved. It was always an aspirational goal.
Personally, I'm for non-authoritarian socialism. Not exactly anarchism, but with a decentralized and democratic structure, worker-owned and democratic workplaces, basic living needs supplied regardless.
Actual communism sounds like people entirely too much up in my bidness.

It's funny how a lot of people who are subbed to Jimmy Dore and Tim Pool are also subbed to StyxHexenhammer666.
Iirc Hex is an actual white supremacist and holocaust denier, who is smart enough to be sneaky about it?
I mean, maybe those subscibed people are hatewatching or something.🤔
A cassette version of WTYP would be pretty tight tbh. Maybe it comes with a booklet of the slides
Concept: 80s WTYP, where they put out a monthly subscription magazine about engineering disasters that all come with audio cassettes.
It comes with actual slides, and you need to follow along using an actual slide projector
@@inTIMMYdator44 That would be epic af.
@@ewanhogg3068 I can see the magazine in my mind's eye and it's wonderful, last page is always Tacoma Narrows
@@inTIMMYdator44 Yes!! And it comes with transparent overlays that Raz already drew on for the Madden'd stuff
Regarding the birthday shout-out:
There was a WW2 fighter ace named "Dick Bong" and it is completely impossible to discuss this without mentally regressing to about 12 years old.
Not just *a* WW2 fighter ace, the highest-scoring American ace of the war. All time great name hall of fame.
There's a bridge named after him in Duluth, MN.
"block the freeways until they promise to build enough public transit to fix surface traffic" might actually be the most viable option at this point
you just made my week. holy fuck how is this name real, how is he your best pilot, and how funny is it to read about this guy on history pages with them desperately trying to avoid using his nickname and his surname at the same time. "dick" and "bong" at a time, i can take. but "dick bong" is too much. too. much.
@@lightwaves1859 dont mean to Necro but his full Name Was Richard Ira Bong, He also died test-piloting the f-100 I believe, I cant remember the proper designation but it was one of the US's first post-war jet fighters.
The Freedom Convoy should have known better than to challenge Ford. John Taliban does not tolerate such disrespect.

In the same format is made before.
Elon Stans: The tunnel won't catch fire!
Mont Blanc & Salang: Am I a joke to you?
Did they even put fire suppression into the Musk rat hole?
Channel tunnel also had several fires.
It wasn't funny at the time but the Tysfjord tunnel fire - in which no one was hurt - but to quote Wikipedia "In January 2013, a lorry carrying 27 tonnes of Brunost caught fire in the 3.5 km (2.2 mi) long Bratli tunnel in Tysfjord. The temperature increased so much that the Brunost caught fire, the fats and sugars in the cheese fuelling the blaze, preventing firefighters from approaching it until four days later, when most of it had burned out".
@@simonmartin9931
A cheese fire.
That's awesome.
Lots of stuff is actually really flammable despite not needing warning labels.
Minor correction: Italy and France were on the same side in WW1. The Italians were originally allied with Germany and friends but made a double secret agreement with France and switched sides once the actual fighting started.
And thus, a meme was born.
Fun fact: everyone knows about trench warfare on the Western Front, but few know that the same thing went on in the Alps between Italy and Austria-Hungary. Armies would shoot each other from massive fortifications and trench systems dug into high mountains, sometimes mining the enemy's fort to blow up entire mountaintops. Just as insane as the Western Front but colder & windier.
Not the same World War, but there was a hilarious battle between Italy and France (well, 9 Frenchmen that stood off 7 or 8 thousand Italians). Battle of Pont Saint Louis.

How you know someone likes you. Calls them Minor corrections.
When I heard about the Freedom Convoy possibly disrupting the Super Bowl, my 2 thoughts were
1) There's no way they can make it from Detroit to Los Angeles in time, and
2) They'd probably improve the traffic in LA if they blocked freeways
Now you should be asking yourself who would start such a rumour, and be able to get it major TV and press coverage? 🤔
Because it certainly didn't come from anyone driving a truck.....
TBH the whole shows attitude to it was disappointing, bunch of toadies 🤦♂️ part of me expected them to be able to I dunno, use fucking Google, but hey ho
Last week we learned that you shouldn’t go in the cave. This week, it turns out the same holds true for artificial caves.
Cars bad, caves worse
@@williamchamberlain2263 Right... and caves for cars worst of all.
@@John73John when you put the bad thing in the worse thing, it's not going to end well
@@williamchamberlain2263 *Table salt has entered the chat*
Caves for trains are fine. This was also implied in the previous episode when they mentioned subways and freight rail built partly in natural caves.
2:58 "bike infra is fat genocide" holy shit that is the spiciest take I have heard all month
It's like long, thin, concentration camps of a$$ removal.
...I need to start bicycling again.
"good"
Me, a 270lbs beer belly guy afraid of city street cycling: genocide me, pod daddies and mommy
if the take is the take i think it is: the take wasn't THAT spicy
if it isn't the take i think it was: how the heck were there 2 "bike is fat genocide" takes on the same week?
As skinny Dutchman, can confirm
On the freedom convoy
I am part of the uaw, I work in one of the big three assembly plants. We rerouted everything to the other bridge and were fine until they blocked those. Starting at the begining of this week we have two assembly plants down. This means around 12000 workers are laid off just at these plants, this doesn't include suppliers being laid off either. (if a plant goes under 4-8k might be laid off from the plant, total number including suppliers are most likely multiples higher)
The auto industry accounts for about 30% of Michigan's economy. During the great recession if the big 3 went under many cities would have over 80-90% unemployment rates.
It's so fucked up knowing that and thinking this convoy thing is some deranged small business tyrant's doing, because they're scared of some chemicals in a needle. So profoundly selfish.
@@DeadWhiteButterflies the hypocrisy really gets me. The people I know that are actually for this, are the same ones who were pissed about protesters blocking the highway for 45 minutes to a couple hours. They said what about people trying to get to work, they could get fired. Well, what about my coworkers who come over that bridge every day from Canada....
I've actually switched a few people's minds about it though. I'm not really "pro-mandate," I'm pro-choice really across the board. This is a border issue though, there's rules to crossing into other countries. If people need to be vaccinated and/or tested to fly in, what's the difference from truckers crossing the border?
Shocking how easy it is for a small group of people to cause such mass effect. If only there is some lesson to learn from this. If only a bigger group joined in and completely took over thier petty democrats for more concrete goals.
As a windsorite I must be a pedant and correct Alice. Windsor is actually to the south of detroit, so technically the maple syrup is going north over the bridge.
Oh yeah. It’s that weird spot where the Canadian border dips a little bit to go back up again
Did a few years of Uni there and this fact really messed up my parents' directional ability and did not believe me about the orientation until we'd managed to get properly lost in sandwich trying to get to the WalMart.
41:48 "the guy who painted 'Welcome to Cleveland' on his house in Cincinnati" Do you mean the guy who did that in Milwaukee, right by the approach path for the international airport? That was a brilliant move.
I would simply die
I know somebody who lived next to London-Heathrow put "WELCOME TO GLASGOW" on his roof.
It didn't work, as nobody believed a Scot would be so hospitable and not call them "YE BARMY CUNTS".
Your Indigenous viewers accept your apology. We were, to a person, also making the same joke
Hey there, it's the police. I've been hearing that you have been making inappropriate jokes, you need to cut thta shit out. Jokes are for white people.

gotta say gang i'm pretty disappointed today, after several weeks of beating most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films in runtime, this one falls short of even Thor: The Dark World's one hour fifty-one minutes.
and less rigid too
Each guest adds a duration bonus that scales to their relationship level with each of the hosts.
That flick is only 111 minutes long? Jesus, it felt like it was about seven years.
You actually watched Thor the Dark World? I saw the first one once and Ragnarok like 5 times the best marvel movie of them all

One of the best (least safe) safety third sections in any episode of this podcast. Holy shit.
The manager issuing his employee a write-up after *almost killing him* was an iconic Safety Third moment.
back in 1980-cough a 13-year-old classmate had a misadventure in the box crusher at the grocery store his father owned and operated. (It's not illegal child labor if it's your kid, right?) He lived through it, but he did spend some time in a coma and it was quite a while before he was back at school.
'Misadventure in a box crusher" makes it sound like he was temporarily rendered an accordian a la Looney Toons.
Justin telling me the temperature of the fire: "It reached 1,000 degrees C or 1,800 degrees F."
Me: "Oh, good. So it can melt steel beams, then."
They basically turned the tunnel into a blast furnace
Somehow the safety third was way more upsetting than the tunnel fire. That manager should have a nice time inside of a thresher
Yup. I say feet first and just start crushing
@@MrJimheeren Amen to that one
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GREAT YOU ARE MAKING MY DAY with every podcast. Thanks from this loyal patreon. Belgium needs you.
I saw the all caps, then read the first words and a glimmer of hope appeared that this would eventually become the pinned comment. Then my hopes were shattered.
@@viliamklein I have no such ambition, and my comment is genuinely unirronic. Even the Belgium part:)
Sao Paolo ahead of the game filling a tunnel with shit without having to give Elon a handout first!
It’s kinda funny to think that São Paulo has a pretty clean subway system
HandOUT!
It's not like the thing my mind had read was that much off, actually.
13:50 I always get happy when the WTYP Podcast mentions Indigenous Canadians. I feel like (especially when it's not politically convenient) we're just an afterthought sometimes :/
Also no apology needed, been thinking the same thing since week two of the convoy
respect to the First Nation, you're gonna make it
Imagine you tune into the podcast and at some point Justin says today's date and your name.
Final Destination Special Episode, a very strong concept.
If/when I send in a Safety Third, I plan to reference Schroedinger's Guest, who is simultaneously present and absent until the episode is observed.
😂😂
To the safety third person, assuming you're dutch cause of the machine, this is definitely something you go to the arbeidsinspectie with and get them to fire that middle manager. Daarnaast, bewapen de arbeidsklasse

24:38 I believe that Jesus would have been a 1970 Chevrolet El Camino 454 Super Sport. This is supported biblically in the Gospel of John 14:6; "And Jesus said, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except through me.'" In Spanish, this is "Jesús le dice: YO SOY EL CAMINO, y la verdad, y la vida: nadie viene al Padre, sino por mí." (emphasis mine)
Additionally, as the Christ is considered both fully God and fully man in the Christian tradition, the El Camino is fully coupé and fully truck. Christ os considered perfect and sinless and the 1970 454 SS represents the most perfect model of the El Camino.
EDIT: I corrected my previous error of identifying the Chevrolet El Camino as part "sedan" to the correct part "coupé". Thank you @ToastyDecline on Twitter for addressing this error.

re: safety third,
I work at a grocery store and the first day I worked someone took me by the baler and told me how it works and how to empty it out (there is actual LOTO for it fortunately) in case I ever needed to, but in the 2 years since then I've only even been within 100 feet of that machine like, twice, and I'm perfectly happy with that. Heavy machinery is scary.
Jacob-Rees Mogg: "Well, if I were in a burning tunnel - I would simply leave."
"In the cars universe, what sort of car was Jesus?"
Me: (Dies in heretical laughter)
A Honda of course
John 12:49
For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.
I was about to say the same thing. Wait what? Car universe...Jesus? Holy shit! My personal answer is KAMA3.

The truest lesson on WTYP: never go in a tunnel
also never go in a cave
Man was never supposed to go underground
Sadly that is impossible for me, but at least the tunnel I enter regularly is only 480 meters long
Also avoid helicopters, especially if they are in a tunnel.
never go in a tunnel
never go underground
never go underwater
actually never go overwater either
do not fly
do not go fast
if god wanted us to do anything other than walk, jesus would have been born a truck
The problem with using those mountain switchbacks is that at any point you could meet a wild Jeremy Clarkson.
WTYP is my go to source for information on burning sensations in my tunnel
Try drinking plenty of water.
You might want to get that checked out.
Based on the Rich Evans pfp, I'm assuming you get those burning sensations quite a lot.
When emailing the pod just assume the guest is Mia Mulder as she should be on every episode anyway.
Safety Third:
“No one expects the Middle Managish Logistinquisition! Our chief weapons are ineptitude, surprise, and fear! Also a little of the occasional mangling may or may not be a feature not a bug of our mindless devotion to ruthless efficiency!“
All these underground disasters lately are making me feel bad about how many tunnels I've built in Cities Skylines over the years
Me, in cities: "Dang putting my cross-town highway under the city makes things way easier, why doesn't everybody do this?"
Real tunnels: "FEED ME LIVES BLAAAARGH"
God imagine if we needed another layer of infrastructure to properly ventilate and secure tunnels too lol.
Also beyond guilty of constantly tunneling
@@mechadudegames Also putting a bunch of toll booths on either side, because that tunnel was expensive, yo.
I built a spiraling highway interchange completely under the bay the city was built around, and called it Jorgamundr. :( People gonna die.

Re: Cities Skylines Mod Malware:
So apparently this modder had included in his mods a bank of code that allowed it to access codes from a remote server. Out on Github, they have a series of files where they have a list of developers, people with clout, and people who've criticised the mods in the past, where the mod would arbitrarily malfunction and in their malfunction report that another mod was the actual malfunctioning mod.
Basically, the "fixed" mods allowed for Remote Code Execution, and as someone with ties to Software Engineers, that is a giant security no-no. Even if the code you executes manages to fix everything, it's still an RCE attack vector.
The guy also went on record suggesting that people who reported this problem were the real villains. He's now trying to peddle his content directly off of Github.
There's a few posts on the /r/citiesskylines subreddit that include a collection of the offending mods, so you can unsubscribe from them all in one click.
OK but why, like 48 hours after I read this in NME, was the Harmony (Fixed) mod STILL available on the workshop? Nothing from Paradox, either.
I love how when they mention using artillery to cause an avalanche, I don't think of whatever movie they mentioned, i think of Mulan.
I was going to comment about building a double ended fire truck right before Justin said that they actually did that, that's so cool.
Thanks for continuing the series of late 90s/Early 2000s European tunnel fires. Can't wait for the episode on the Gotthard Road Tunnel fire
I would actually like WTYP on coloured vinyl. I'm thinking a nice yellow and blue combo to match the podcast livery, in a that tie die style I see with loads of Midwest Emo bands. Alternatively, you could do those Soviet style prints using discarded X rays of skeletons, which looks metal AF.
I just wanted to thank you for this podcast, I am dealing with a terrible time, dual flat feet and heel spurs, and more shit, this podcast have helped me refocus from the constant pain, thank you.

It's totally OK. The article I read in The Graun said that one of the US Freedom Convoys is going to drive straight to Washington on I-10. Hopefully they will forget to make the left in Jacksonville and just drive into the sea.
Maybe they are afraid of taking I-70 in the Winter.

@@briar9997 As someone who lives in DC and has driven commercially, I wish them joy with the several dozen law enforcement agencies operating inside the Beltway. This ain't Ottawa.
When I lived in Ecuador there was a tunnel into the Amazon that I drove a few times. It was like, 100 meters but it wasn't reinforced so the porous limestone was also dumping water on it. Tunnels and cars are a bad mix.
Re: Safety Third:
For some reason, my twisted mind conjured up the suggestion to "have the manager executed by guillotine, roughly dismembered into disjointed but still recognisable as (formerly) human pieces, and then have their family forced to attend their open casket funeral."
Remember kids, OSHA rules are written in blood.
We don't need a guillotine really. Just turn on the machine with him inside like he did to his employee. He seemed ok with ignoring couple rules "for safety" he put in place so he should be good with it
@@kevinrussell3501 More efficient. Though half the idea of this twisted suggestion was to remind the guy's family that this used to be the guy. Not sure how recognisable the giblets coming from the shredder will be.

The electric steam locomotives are awesome, what a cool thing to learn today
The less cool version is when the North Koreans converted a bunch of Soviet-built M62 diesels to electrics, because they had a lot of coal to generate power, but not a lot of diesel

Hi Justin, Roz, and Liam, I have lived in France in the Alpes for the past few years and it's great hearing this local history. I'm not French but I'll be sending this to all my Frenchie friends. Thanks!

I'm a fan of many of them, but I was also disappointed to discover it wasn't a podcast of safety thirds
Finally an episode about something I very specifically remember having nightmares about when it happened.
Speaking of the Northwest Passage, the Franklin Expedition could be a fun (depressing) episode idea, maybe if Parks Canada and whoever else is involved can get some information out of the Erebus and Terror shipwrecks.

Best part of this show every week is finding out what the next show is about
You actually did the news about São Paulo! The sewer isn't combined (On purpose, as sewage systems tend to get stormwater in), it just is an absurdly large tunnel. But then it started raining, sothey needed to pour some 20 thousand cubic meters of concrete on the side of the hole, to try to make erosion stop eating at one of the larger urban roads of the city. And you missed the part that this tunnel is dug pretty close to the Tiete River, the most famous polluted river of Brazil, so tons of people were worried they had actually hit the river.
A sphincter-clenching Safety Third for this episode. Like holy shit
They should build another bridge next to the Ambassador Bridge, to bypass the protests.

We had one of those gigantic cardboard compactors at my old job and whenever it got jammed the managers would climb inside to fix it. Pretty sure they always turned the power off though. Luckily the real danger of that job was being under a box avalanche, which took out many a coworker.
Surprised nobody suggested feeding the manager into the War Crimes Against Cardboard Machine
"The weather on one side of the tunnel is significantly different than the weather on the other side of the tunnel." As a Denver resident of 20 years, we have the same thing at the Eisenhower Tunnel. Blizzard on one side, cloudy on the other. Or flip it around, depending on the upslope or the storm coming from the Pacific.
They say "any holes a goal", but they never mention that hole being filled with toxic fumes and steel melting fire. I guess that's what happens when you live off of a diet of dumb moldy fancy cheese and chocolates.
Don't forget the wine, they're always more or less sloshed
Don't forget molluscs and cigarettes. And also scratch the chocolate since that's more the surrounding countries' thing.

Yes. Fuckups are inevitable, though. Because humans.
What's "many"? There's more other stuff that burns than tunnels, it's just that when they happen they tend to be awful ...
SCBAs (self-contained breathing apparatuses) don't have all that much breathing time in them. When I was in the fire academy, there were only two of us who were able to make it through a completely dark maze and still have air left to breathe and it so happened to have been the only two of us women who graduated the academy. We did it twice even and no one else could even do it once. They also took twice the time or more to navigate the maze than we did so that was the last time we got even a joke about being chicks in the fire academy. Most people ran out of air in roughly 30 minutes but me and my homegirl were already through that maze in a little over 10 minutes so we ended up with most of our air left.
Anyway, the point is that they run out more quickly than one might expect for anyone so one really can't rely on having enough air to fight such a massive fire and still be able to breathe long enough to get back out again, even if you do put the fire out, and fuck if you can rescue anyone since you'd be lucky to get out with your own life. The inability to see is routine if you're in a serious structure fire so that's something we all have trained for and even to expect. They really shouldn't have been ordered into that tunnel in the first place. No one likes to not go in when they know people are going to die but, if you kill the people who are trained rescuers, that will ultimately reduce the number of people who can be brought back out with their lives. Trust me, we all hate this, but it's true.
LMAO, Teslas in tunnels, aka. "the loop" never stop being a source of quality jokes ;D
the cardboard monster is my new favourite safety third segment
"if you're half way through, just floor it". Alice has the best advice.
This is why you should always do bidirectional single bore road tunnels, its so oncoming drivers can flash their lights to let you know your truck is on fire.
Thank you Liam, my mouth is wide open now
Listening to the intro whilst being fat, at the gym, riding the bicycle...
I love how you guys keep learning a little bit more and more about the science of fire as you make more episodes about fire.
I know you dont usually do military stuff but this episode makes me think you should really do an episode on the sinking of the carrier Taiho that was mostly the fault of her own ventilation system turning the hangar into a giant fuel/air bomb
Basically a manual on what _not_ to do when you have a fuel tank leak.
Well There's Your Pickle: the official snack of the gang
Ottawa resident reporting in, just wanted to thank Alice for mentioning the arson (which was in my old apartment building) and hate crimes. So many people outside of the city have been trying to tell us that it’s not so bad or just a protest, I’m glad to hear you telling the truth
Last time there was a disaster with a vinyl press, it resulted in the Phantom of the Paradise.
Last time there was a disaster with a vinyl press, it was the Bee Gees' cover of _Sgt Pepper._
The safety third story filled me with a rage I cannot describe. "Everyone knows what the ladder means anyway" my ass.
