TechDif started on York University Radio, in which over time the cast we now know developed. During that time, Chris wanted to remain anonymous, and so went by Toast. The Technical Difficulties Show (2010) was an attempt at transitioning the University Radio show to a TV format akin to Top Gear. Starting with the Reverse Trivia Podcast 'Audio Episodes', Chris Joel dropped the 'Toast' moniker, with it eventually becoming a joke to pretend 'Toast' never existed. A similar gag existed where in the social media section Chris' was either redacted or just said 'doesn't do this social media nonsense', though he has since made a twitter account.

@@CamstonIsland oh, now it makes sense lol

It's a good quip.

Ex[er]cise Thy Demons!

NIMBYS are haram!

It's one of those jokes where the build up is so immense that it's incredible just how solidly the joke brings the whole thing to a stop just to take it in. It's like a slightly more condensed and focused version of that Norm MacDonald joke about the moth visiting the podiatrist. Instead of rambling about silly names and sad moth lives, Nova just lets the others build on the framework of 'what if you had a book' for five minutes before dropping the banger punchline 'the book is the Quran'.

Also I just remembered- she also set the groundwork for it even earlier in the episode when describing the types of cyclists (no way no how, curious but concerned, etc.) as 'pillars'.

@@CamstonIsland Truly a master at work

Check out all of the other WTYP animateds then! Also the reason it's that locomotive in particular is because I used it previously in a TechDif animated episode about the origins of another funny bit.

Shoutouts to that one 13 year old video about applying Dutch cycleway design to American intersections

To quote the Simpsons regarding the Bible: "Have you actually read this thing? Technically we're not allowed to go to the bathroom."

Thanks :D Their energy is why I choose to animate them in particular!

Thanks!- not sure what about this suggests taste, but that's definitely not going to boost my ego unnecessarily.

I've made great use of it since the very first WTYP Animated!

You can tell Nova had been waiting to tell it for a while

@@CamstonIsland She had it locked and loaded, fr

I’m a few episodes in and it’s really good so far

The shenanigans are pretty constant, so if you like the clips you’ll probably like the whole podcast

dooooo eeeeeett. Be careful about drinking during a new to you episode, though. At least until you get a feel for when something like the Rat Viscera bit, or Liam's Fish Rant might happen.

There are some longer clip compilations if you want to check out some other moments before diving right in. With slides.

Just do it. It’s the only podcast I’ve shelled out money for bonuses on Patreon. The atmospheric railway episode is a great starting point.

I somehow didn't notice that! That rules

All your planning questions answered!

I'm not saying she isn't a funny person, but yes that one is I think one of her greatest😂

One of the great moments in the podcast, along with the slide on ‘As-Builts’, Liam’s fish rant, Justin becoming the Joker, and the cycle of ‘what the fuck’ from architect to engineer to construction

Foghorns are different than cannons

You need some higher aspirations in life- then again, not wanting much is key to a happy life :)

Thanks indeed!

Thanks, I hope you can bear to put up with more going forward!

Glad you liked it :D Also, did I fix the typo, or did you imagine it? The world may never know!

@@CamstonIsland 😱 devious

I don't know what the Czech equivalent would be but they're little shaped chocolate thingies that look like silly frogs. We don't really have an equivalent in the US besides maybe a shaped Hershey christmas tree or Santa.

@@CamstonIsland Honestly not sure we have an equivalent, either. Shaped Christmas chocolates, yes...

And even when they do claw their way back to the topic, as the previous animation shows, it returns.

Now wait no longer! or maybe do keep waiting, there's another bit coming soon.

Just before exporting the final file I realised I misspelled it as 'Pock_e_y', and changed it last minute.

No! There's so much more to live for!

@@CamstonIsland Sure! Another animation by CamstonIsland to start with!

Who is Pinochet Silvia‽

Gadzooks, such praise is of a most indubitable honour for mineself, and many thanks to thee for its utterance!

Thanks, I'm glad to earn such praise on the back of such infamy
