holy shit you guys fully got me with this - I stick it on in the background while I game and I didn't realise it was a joke until Roz said "That's the episode"
Same. I saved it to my watch later playlist and only just flipped it on as I was about to start a 3½ hour task (the typical length of a WTYP podcast). What the hell am I going to listen to for the next 3¼ hours? (╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻
The real question that unfortunately can never be answered is was the stone alcove cut off from a door way by the collapse and thus did King Henry have to wait for a bridge to be built over the pit of shit stained noble corpses before getting out? Factually I cannot say but my heart says yes.
Just Imagining Henry II in the alcove with a white cat going "I'm afraid you have outlived your usefulness to me, HAHAHAAHA!" and pressing the secret floor collapse button.
I like that they used April Fool's Day to cover an incident that is too short for a normal episode, no matter how much people begged them to cover it. Productive pranks are the best pranks.
Disaster, or one of the most epic mass assassinations of all time? I don't think think anyone was capable of predicting how many people it would take to cave in a floor back then, but they obviously knew it could happen, and the organizer of the meeting was very conveniently seated in a safe spot.
Too dangerous for an assassination, esp. if you put your money on it working passivly. If I am not wrong, the nobles all gathered in there, and then the king would walk through the group while waving left and right and go to his place - that is a very dangerous moment because the weight shifts a lot, and the king is in the middle of it. And while you often could get away with assassination if the political winds were right, doing it in such a way would probably too bad. You know, all that honor stuff?
I seriously thought You were going to declare the deaths of a bunch of nobles not a disaster and end it there with plugs hand five minutes of normal intro.
"The Goddamn News: Pre-Industrial Edition; A bunch of nobles hath gathered on some creaky wood, unsurprisingly, they all fell into a basement of human waste. Nothing of value was lost this day."
There’s actually a few relatively well researched engineering disasters from Charlemagne’s reign like the collapse of the arcade in Aachen that almost killed him or the canal to the Danube he tried to have built that kept filling itself back in because they tried to go through a swamp
Yeah, it's more like Ehrfoort. If you pronounce the second half like "foot" with an r before the t, you're already halfway there. But I cannot think of a good English equivalent for the German "Er-".

I was not expecting a Richard Wolff birthday episode because of yesterday, but I'm glad you all put one out. Thank you, and be sure to wish Professor Wolff a happy birthday.
here is me thinking I'll have a mighty good time with an episode that I missed. I was just so happy to have smth interesting to watch. I hope your laughter was worth my unbearable pain
Continuing to politely suggest an episode on the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 even if it's in the queue after the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster.
Idea for the Fuuuutuuuureeeee: Do 10 min of news (false obvs), 1 min of episode, and 1 hour of safety thirds. So that we can laughcry on the Fake Everything Day. ps. King Henry definitely planned this...
You know what, I know this is supposed to be a joke episode, but I totally don't mind a quick (s)hitter about nobles falling into a pool of shit. A+ on this one!
You magnificent bastards. Bravo, sirs! For next year, maybe y'all could cover the sequel to this: The Cincinnati Privy Disaster of 1904, this time with 100% more young children drowning in poop!
Aw damn, you could have had a double joke where this is the title but you actually do the Tacoma Narrows bridge. Though I guess that would be this podcasts version of jumping the shark.
No, they spend 20 minutes doing the opening ramble introductions and pronoun checks, then Justin states that they're finally doing the Tacoma Narrows, and then it just cuts off.
I reckon there's heaps you could add to historicals like this. The "Great Heap of Turds" was great fun, as was learning about the latrine pit. Franklin has been such a pleasant surprise, especially the history of urban planning stuff. I'm finding it's really helping me expand my historical consciousness in my own work. I've long appreciated that in the past pretty much everyone was covered in shit, but learning more about how we solved these problems, and how engineering techniques have developed is what I truly enjoy about Justin's work. (I also love everything Alice does, and think the counter-revolutionary trash brings a really nice balance ;) )
I'm sorry Alice but now you're counterrevolutionary too. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be rehabilitated post-post revolutionary purge. EDIT: Also you missed a chance to make this episode the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, and make the Erfurt Latrine the running gag.
Wow, I just stumbled upon your podcast some weeks ago and I can't believe you at least mentioned one of the most shitty things that happend in my home town. You are also doing a valuable service spreading awareness of this happening. It still makes me furious that I wasn't told at school about this and had to be told by a history student at a party. One information Alice probably would have appriceated is the fact, that the town is one of the hubs of the Italian mob. So there might be some snitch based architecture around town.
If Alice and Justin aren't gonna kick counterrevolutionary trash Liam off the pod, I have no choice but to cancel them and only listen to Red Scare from now on. //April Fools, for those who really need to be told.
sent this podcast to a friend and they said "wow - they even got one of those philly guys who aren't actually from philly so they overcompensate for it by talking about philly even more than people from philly. respect".
Two fun facts about cesspits: 1) They explode. The putrefying gasses are highly flammable, and cesspit explosions used to be a regular occurrence in e.g. London. 2) They're highly toxic. Those same gasses are potent enough to knock you out cold in seconds, and septic tanks continue to kill to this day. In one particularly horrilarious instance, an entire family of five in Guangzho drowned in a septic tank because every time one of them went in and lost consciousness, the next person would go in to rescue them and also immediately lose consciousness.

This response is way too normal for a philosophy icon. Gaming? Image destroyed.
I love that it's a 6 minute episode and Alice still manages to completely derail the discussion at least once
Alice is a living trolley problem in podcast form whose dilemma is "Do we sacrifice a non sequitur to continue on with the podcast?"
in the words of liam anderson: That's efficiency, baby!
@@EmeraldLavigne fuck off ya beat me to it ):
The british.
yes
I thought the April fool's episode would be three Liams getting progressively more drunk and annoyed with each other.
By the halfway point its just incoherent angry mumbling until all the liams say GO BIRDS in unison
That's just a normal episode
Thriam...
I hope they do that someday....
A pantheon of liams getting shitfaced and bar brawling each other? Give us the ThorLiam!
"King Henry VI was left on the precipice of a vast pit of shit and dead nobles, also known as the Holy Roman Empire"
I mean hey, it was so powerful that the kings of France, Spain, Denmark and england all wanted the crown of the HRE.
It's one way to settle a feud. Maybe Hank 6 was hoping for something more Solomon-like but just had to go with the flow.
"How long is a typical episode of WTYP?"
"I don't know, somewhere between six minutes and three hours."
make that four hours now 💀
“Out of the way guillotine, we got a new noble disposal system!”
Its less effective, but arguably much funnier
Well, they went where they belong.
Still not as efficient as a lever linked to a drawbridge to squish the noble into nothingness.
Kindof a *shitty* alternative... >:)
@@eclipserepeater2466 Woah I'm new here is that not just a Dwarf Fortress thing? What episode do I need to see?
I feel like the appropriate response is to just grab a Liam from a nearby parallel timeline so that we have 100% more Liam.
Grab tankie Liam then have them do a highlander duel?
No we need to go to a timeline where EVERYBODY is Liam like a Being Liam Anderson universe for maximum Liam.
That would be 200% more
@@MrxstGrssmnstMttckstPhlNelThot but if you are Liam and I am Liam... who is flying the plane?!

Shake hands with danger, but wash thoroughly.
The real question that unfortunately can never be answered is was the stone alcove cut off from a door way by the collapse and thus did King Henry have to wait for a bridge to be built over the pit of shit stained noble corpses before getting out? Factually I cannot say but my heart says yes.

This is the best April Fools because it's just doing what you usually do on something you normally couldn't do it on.
Ironically, RUclips crashed to desktop on my phone when Alice said "cancel"
*coincidentally
This could be at so many times with Alice
Gonna have to listen to this one over a couple days

Finally, the shitpost
Proud to say I've listened to this one before it finished uploading, will now watch the slides
same haha
"I demand Liam be replaced, his counterrevolutionary trash is not needed"
Mald harder, tankies. Best boi is going nowhere.
It's a 6 minute episode and Liam still manages to talk about Communism
i bet it was some buthurt red scare fanboy
Hey, leave the T-34s out of this, this shithead was on his own.
Oh, hey! Its jesus.
I'm working my way through every episode and I hit this one in August and was completely blindsided. I love it.
The name Erfurt just sounds like a 2010 meme. Ermahgerd, Erfurt.
To be fair, it isn't actually pronounced anything like that in German.
Yeah, it's more like Ehrfoort. If you pronounce the second half like "foot" with an r before the t, you're already halfway there. But I cannot think of a good English equivalent for the German "Er-".
A horrible surprise! A gift! A latrine disaster! A Great Heap of Turds!
Which do trouble me!
Drowning sixty dudes in your own shit is a pretty solid strategy for becoming the Holy Roman Emperor.
On 8 August 1956, a major mining disaster occurred at the Bois du Cazier mine.

I just saw the length, thought it was a Patreon episode's preview, and spent some minutes "not finding" the "bonus episode". 😂
This 100% got me because I did not look at the length before I put it on, and then I got mad when a different video started playing 6 minutes in
!@
oh shit I live there this is literally the first time I've heard anyone on the internet mention Erfurt

I thought this one was meant to be the Tacoma Narrows bridge?
I just want an episode on the leaning tower of Piza
I (genuinely) love every curveball this podcast throws me. Can't wait for the Tacoma Narrows episode ;)
I half expected that to be this episode.
I was not expecting a Richard Wolff birthday episode because of yesterday, but I'm glad you all put one out. Thank you, and be sure to wish Professor Wolff a happy birthday.
Finally! An episode of just the perfect length!
That six is minutes, not hours
here is me thinking I'll have a mighty good time with an episode that I missed. I was just so happy to have smth interesting to watch. I hope your laughter was worth my unbearable pain
Continuing to politely suggest an episode on the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919 even if it's in the queue after the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster.
I'm pretty sure they said that the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster is next week...
They finally did the live episode on Tacoma Narrows, so now next week's episode is on the Boston Molasses Flood.
Congratulations on the new bit
oh come on, I even offered (in a patreon msg) to translate the medieval latin for you, cant even be mad though, at least its 2 episodes in a week
I would listen to 3 hours of them running those Latin sources through Google Translate.

Might wanna wait on that latrine visit.
Why is this not 2 hours long?

OK but this would've been funnier if you did a full goddamn news and safety third with it but this was a good pod
