it's the live show

I love Alice's voice in this, she sounds like Abby doing her evil voice

deathbysamurai

sorry if this insensitive but, what happened to NYC why is it destroyed?

Well shit I definitely did not expect Tubby to actually die jesus christ

Someone on YouTube offered to fix the audio if Alice has a local recording of her audio 😭

Now them's some damn good lookin' folks. Way to go guys, sad to be here so late, but glad to be here now.

I'll be honest, it is so fucking weird seeing all of you after all this time because your voices have become so disembodied in my heads seeing any of you talk just doesn't seem right that the voices are coming out of a human being.

Finally got a chance to watch this recently. So much fun, and Alice is lovely.

So this is what my kids have been talking about… love it.

There's an accounting company where I live named after Homer (Homeros tilitoimistot). Maybe a blind poet is just the thing some people look for in an accounting company.

Minna Ihalainen

1. Justin reminds me of an old Polish comedian Janusz Rewinski 2. Alice looks more like a Patricia to me

I really enjoyed this live show! I hope you will consider doing more live stream recordings of the main pod.

This was so excellent, thank you for posting the recording!!

People be hiding. Simple as. Never walk out the building in an earth quake by the way the falling glass will get you from the outside before the falling building does from the inside. Under a table isn't actually a bad spot in a lot of situations

Sooooo.......... whens the next show? lol

This isn’t related to this particular episode, but is engineering related. I live in a part of Australia that has experienced an earthquake. Unusual for this part of the world, but it caused me to remember an entirely unrelated piece of safety advice my father once told me. My family come from Northern Ireland. To escape the troubles in the early 70s, we moved to South Africa. This was a mistake, because my parents were socialists. They made an actual living Irish joke (Where does a Northern Irish socialist move to escape the troubles? …). Interesting times involving the South African Communist Party ensued, but that is not the point here. Johannesburg is prone to earth tremors. At the time, I remember being told they were due to collapsing old mine works. Not so sure about that. The first time my father experienced one he climbed under the table, much to the consternation of his work colleagues. None of them had lived in Northern Ireland. Why would you climb under the table if you found yourself in a 1970s sectarian bombing? It’s to do with explosion physics. The shock wave from an explosion travels through the ground much faster than through the air. If you feel the explosion through your feet, you might have a few seconds to do something before the air-borne shockwave hits. Table tops are generally lower than windows, so if you can get under a table, you significantly reduce the chances of getting injured by flying glass. Lessons from a civil war zone, folks.

Just give me playback errir 😭

literally just the USSR national anthem intro: https://youtu.be/U06jlgpMtQs

Thanks so much for posting a link to the liveshow. Deciding to watch it immediately was easily a better use of my afternoon than studying for an exam in 3 days. Awesome work and worth the wait! 😀👍 If and when the world opens back up, how about making a trip to Australia and doing some live shows down here? You'd better believe that a nation running on a beer economy has had a few engineering failures to dissect. On another note, what is Alice's Soviet sound drop from? I feel dumb for asking but despite all efforts I can't find it. It's going to be my new ringtone 😁

I come from a land down under, where the beer does flow and men chunder

I need more "train good car bad shirts" this is fucking embarrassing. you can't just be sold out that's not OK

Marcelli

First time seeing Alice. Girl, you're gorgeous!

Kristin Barrick-Shisler

I work for NY tolls by mail/EZpass, if you ever need any info about how fucked up MTA bridges & tunnels , Port Authority of NY and NJ , or NY State Thruway Authority tolling systems are fucked up and unfair just message me.

Peter Steketee

Alice quoting horse-ebooks like it doesn't send me into full pronunciationbook ptsd

I regret not interjecting with "Instant Karma" when they got to the point where the bridge claimed it's only victim, but maybe best that I hadn't.

Ash "Inkwel" Jones

Can we use bridges to generate power?

yay liam!

Hope maybe you can release a version that doesn't murder my ears with Dalek Alice

Alice Kylo Kelly

Evil Space Alice forever!

Thank you from here in Australia for uploading the live show, it was great to see!

RIP Tubby

Really wanted to see this but I misplaced my vaccine passport 😭

Jan

Alice finally got around to the voice training, but it was voice training to become a Dalek

At the venue they played a clip of the bridge shaking before they came out

Robert P

the first of hopefully many great live pods

Ima watch this with my eyes closed, Knowing what they look like will ruin it a bit for me.

ah finally, the lost ep, #13, it was/is great

I knew who Roz was before they announced themselves because he just looks like someone who goes by Roz

Achillesnick

like it's weird, it's clearly downsampled, and then periodically skips to catch up with realtime. so, if that effect is present in the local capture too, that's irreveresible loss. but if the downsample rate and the frequency of the jumps is consistent, it wouldn't be hard to write a script to speed it up, and pretty trivially detect the jumps, and loop a bit of the audio to fill in the gap. if the looping is done with a bit of gentle crossfading it would still sound weird but definitely better

Alice

does Alice have a local capture of her audio? If you're interested, I am willing to put a significant amount of work into fixing it, up to and including writing custom code, because i'm Too Autistic To Process This Audio As Is

Alice

Maybe I’m being shallow but Alice’s look is chef’s kiss perfection. Great job!

Sara Waterfall

Well done, well done.

Holy shit, Justin sounds about thirty years younger on that mic. Also: Car bad, Live Episode good.

ZombieDwarf

Enjoyed the hometown shout out of the Clifton Suspension Bridge. You should do an episode on Brunel except everything he did worked pretty good except the Great Eastern, which still worked but was just kinda dumb

Mike Crotch - Harvey

Crazy how they got davros to play Alice for the live show, they're really hitting the big time

Ok, now that they've actually done the "Universal Textbook Engineering Disaster" we need an episode on the "Australian Textbook Engineering Disaster": The Westgate Bridge Collapse

heffa

I don’t know what stranger, the fact that two of you look almost exactly like I pictured you, or the fact that Ian doesn’t to an almost perfect degree.

Matthew Foweraker

How does that calculation work if you factor in international flights?

Matthew Foweraker

This was glorious, I watched it live on the stream and imma watch it again here !

dan

an absolute joy, you guys killed it

xenofinger

From Tacoma and started cracking up the second they put the map up. I LOVE IT THANK YOU GANG!

oh my god that was so good. alice was on fire lol

Greg Markman

This was a delight to watch, Thank you for your continued entertainment!

Val

As soon as Roz said the episode was about "suspension bridges" I was in suspense, but knew there was no way they'd do it. But then....

Chris Lee

That was fantastic thanks for the awesome content.

Anthony Spence

l did like having a room full of New Yorkers booing Robert Moses like he's Haman in a Purimspiel.

Ijon Tichy

Haha, If you already got that voice, I expect a few Max Headroom glitches in Cyber Alice next time... :)

Christian Bloch

I had to refund my tickets to go to a wedding and I miss out on the Tacoma Narrows??

Ron Falkowski

hey I think Alice might be a Goa'uld

We didn't come here for good value shut up and take our money 😂😂💵

absolutely fantastic

I am a long time Tacoma resident and always enjoyed the joke...but never fully until today, thanks! And a great show you have. When are you releasing the box set?

Glad to see Justin is also on Team "Beaten Up Lenovo Thinkpad" - haven't met an engineer worth their salt without one

Nice work, gang. There's a term used in introductory physics: spherical cow. Basically, the resonance explanation is turning the bridge into a spherical cow. Not just a sphere, a cow that is spherical. Thank you, and good evening.

Will Clark

This really cements the parasocial relationship

alice and the hi-viz hijab

Rafael Trujillo

Let’s FUCKING go!!!!

Allen

I know we don't do touchy feely stuff on this Podcast but I want to say great job! Y'all seemed a bit nervous at the start but you did fantastic! I'm so proud of what this podcast has done so far.

So is this the start of Season 2, then? Season 1 is the Tacoma-Narrows season, Season 2 is the Boston Molassacre season?

Violet

YAY LIAM

Cadnee Mountai

Thank you once again for signing my MTA Track Safety Training Card, i will get Alice in on this soon.

Dammit Joe

Thanks again for helping me find tix!!!

Dominic Preciso

Way better than hearing the sound of my own voice haha! Wish I would've thought of a better question but damn yall got me starstruck 🤩🤩🤩

Dominic Preciso

Alice instructing Liam to recover the Platinum Chip and bring it to her

FortressPlotter

I was told there would be horse viscera

Nicholas Kidd

yeah its fucked up, the internet decided Alice needed the Dalek filter.

SpookyPenguin

Professor Rocz Robo Alice and Yay Liam <3

I'm in Florida and you don't want me anyways

Alice sounds like they recorder her at 48k and played her back at 44.1

Diego Corazón

Robot Alice!

3 minutes in and it’s already everything I ever thought it could be.

Diego Corazón

am i just out of the loop or is the audio for alice fucked up?

tfpodMilobig P A K I S T A N tfpodMilobig

You madmen! You did it! You really did it!

Petter Ericson

pog!

alice auditioning to be one of the Shadow Council from XCom

Yankee Ice

Yay Liam

Rory Fagan

Some of us are happy to do both, even if our wonky sense of time means that we're gonna be in the wilds of rural Quebec with no wifi during the actual show.

Madeline Hunter

What about "Socrates Deconstruction"? Wouldn't that be a proper name for a firm?

JWLM

It may be a bad deal for people who were awake at the time of the livestream, but for those of us who were asleep, this is a sound investment. Also we like the bonus eps.

Jessi Lloyd

Robo Alice is best Alice

JaceTheCat

Oh god I did not realize just how *visible* I would be in the video sitting there. Ah well, got compliments from Alice about my dress so worth.

Alice with gender dial cranked to the max

Wiktor Waszak

Yes oh god yes!

Yay Alice

Dammit Joe

yay!

Is it a good deal if we did both?
