It's Boever ft. Justin Roczniak
Justin and November from WTYP join the gang to discuss all things Boeing, and what happens to your empire when you accidentally apply your own ideology to the most important pillar of your blood soaked globe bestriding war machine? Also, we talk about the UK's ambitious plan to have flying taxis in the air by 2026, and a new Neom region that puts a certain Battersea sky pool in London to shame.

Milo's sleep deprived ramblings are excellent, you should make him podcast at 6 am more
I work as an accountant. Specifically in the area of costing/ inventory in an industry that requires a certain level of quality for it to be safe to use effectively. (Sorry can't get too specific). For my day to day, I am so disconnected from the physical product that I can't even picture what most of these items look like (there's hundreds of them). All I see are item numbers on a spreadsheet with their bill of materials listed. I don't interact with the end product at all. All I see are numbers on a spreadsheet. Basically the point I'm trying to make is that "MBA finance" types shouldn't be the ones making the final decisions. We think in spreadsheets and balance sheets. Green/ black number good, red number bad. Make red number go away and green number go up by any means necessary. Quality of product means nothing to us because we don't even necessarily see what the product looks like in the end. Those who actually know and understand the product should be the ones in charge. The engineers in the case of Boeing. With finance being a support role to help "reign in" some of the costs/ budget.
I hate that I knew exactly which fuckin services Milo was on about. Leister forest east. Where the EV chargers were shut down in the 2022 heatwave and never got turned back on
I laughed extemely hard at the bit about the Trauma Team from Cyberpunk 2077 imagining the crews I work with in an Osprey and just crashing into absolutely everything. They crash the damn MedFlight helicopters enough already.
Look, it's quite simple we can't afford to fill in the potholes so it's going to have to be the death jobbie but at least you won't have to listen to someone using tik tok on the train, alright? And if you don't like it let me usher you into the assisted dying machine.
CONNECTICUT MENTIONED 💪💪💪 this CT resident is psyched. i thought of enfield, CT immediately when I heard legoland 🙏🙏
Who tf is this "Alice" Milo mentioned?
"a jobby takeoff generates ⅓ less noise than a helicopter..." 😂😂😂😂😂
*No Children voice* "I hope the plane that you fly in, was engineered by Boeiiiiiiing"
British Legoland also made me transgender
Are we going to have a fleet of dirigibles now?
Absolutely heartbroken by the complete lack of response to the Kenneth Pinyan joke.
Another Jobbi has stuck the podcast
you know that anecdote where the lead Boeing test pilot pulled a butter smooth barrel roll at the first executive demonstration of the 707? that's Airplane Hooning
The point about flying taxis versus all other infrastructure is very well made. Living in Ireland, getting to England by any means other than aeroplane is now next to impossible and the flights are dirt cheap. But it's now the case that the most expensive part of any trip is the transport to and from the airport. Sure, you can fly to Gatwick for £9 but the train from Gatwick to anywhere else is going to cost you.
“Boeing Episode”: great. “Featuring Roz”: great. “Boeing Episode featuring Roz”: I drop everything and immediately start listening.
If it ain't Boeing, Charles' ass ain't growing
>joking about Hamas being the ones indiscriminately killing and not the IDF L Mr Bond
I would argue hauling one guy up a parking garage and throwing him off is quite discriminate, actually.
Pretty soon it’s gonna be iron dome for flying taxis- talk about imperial boomerang sheesh
misread that description as "a new neom religion" and was ready to see the shit get *real* weird
Now we're *really* getting into Bioshock territory
As podcast opening lines go, “The king should have to have the biggest ass in the country” is an all-timer.
in defense of the drearyness of British LEGOland. I have only ever been to the Danish LEGOland and it rained like a bitch and was grey the whole time. maybe this is less in defense of british legoland and more in insult to the Danish one lol
54:14 he absolutely was a cop -- they're the ones who can get away with it
I'm not sure I should be happy or sad that no one except Milo knows who Kenneth Pinyan is
I don't think British ED209 is gonna be blasting anyone 27 times with budget cuts going on. It'll run out early and apologize for the inconvenience while you're bleeding out
Looking more into the Joby aircraft. The FAA has only approved it for testing, it's not yet certified for actual use because we don't know things like whether it can even glide if it loses power, or how badly it's going to catch fire. It holds only 4 passengers, and is expected (by Joby) to cost 1.3 million per aircraft, which puts it exactly in line with a Bell 505 Jet Ranger X, a thing which already exists and, though slower than Joby's claimed speed, has more than double the range. Now, for what it's worth, they *have* actually made and flown the thing, and they've put out a video of it taking off behind their CEO while he talks and (assuming it's not faked) it is remarkably quiet, which explains the DoD interest
It's not going to be an air taxi, it's obviously too unsafe to have flying taxis, and far too expensive to run them as a business considering the high unit cost, high ticket cost (like 200$), and only four passenger seats. But it's easy to convince the credulous to fund a Jetsons taxi and then exclusively use it for special forces to assassinate people.
I work as a pilot flying Fairchild Metroliners to service island communities, the metroliner is on its last legs, spare parts are becoming harder to find and more expensive, the airframes are going to run out of hours within the next decade or two, and to my knowledge there isn’t a modern 19 seat aircraft that can move significant amounts of freight available to replace it. SAAB 340 is too big, king air is just as problematic parts wise.
I logged a lot of hours on King Air in Flight Simulator 2000. rip to a real one
Another thesis about Boeing being a bit shit at the moment is that acolytes of Jack Welch ascended to power. (Jimmy McNerney was a big fan.) Anyway, shout out McDonnell Douglas. First you robbed us of the Concorde, now you're robbing us of Boeing. At least we've got the Osprey stories.
If the people imagining NEOM ever want to branch out from just more malls, hotels, and restaurants, perhaps they should consider a Legoland. They definitely have the petroleum for the bricks.
Missed the opportunity to call it "Boeing, Boeing, Gone"
Ontario even has a unique microclimate in Major League Baseball.
pretty sure milo is talking about the welcome break at keele. it’s a combination kfc/burger king bridge.
Given he said it was the M1 or A1(M) I think it's Leicester Forest East on the M1, you can stop for a Starbucks and gaze melancholically out of the window at the southbound traffic
Jobbiecopter…
This Jobbiecopter is property of Lothian&Borders police!
Can wait to hear Justin say : "it's not supposed to look like that" or variation of. It makes me giggle, those are stupid engineering moments and something of Wtyppod style makes it feel funny instead of infuriating. Thanks for the laughs boys, gals, and everything in between
charles has lost the mand-ass of heaven
I can see the Saudis getting sued by Bloody Stupid Johnson's estate over copying his trout pool, which was famously one mile long and one inch wide. With one trout in it, that had to occasionally get flipped over....
I'm of the mind that it didn't have to be a Boeing executive or someone associated with a Boeing person to kill Barnett. Boeing and finance being so incestuous it could have been any heavily invested finance guy who didn't like Barnett and the current climate around the company to be motivated enough to either do it themselves or hire a capable professional. The motive is there for so many people
Legoland Windsor is an autism factory, many of us produced by it return to put in our hours.
Lol, I saw the title of this and assumed it was about the key bridge in Baltimore and Justin was making a natty boh joke
Lagoon mentioned 🚨
Can confirm legoland made me transgender as well, specifically watching the little trains in miniland too much as a child
The Lagoon Show feat. Legoland Windsor slander (I loved it as a kid because as an esteemed autistic whiteboy and I am easily impressed by tiny Lego Europe with working trains)
For something called vision 2030, the Saudis are rapidly running out of time to complete this so-called vision.
BBLs and Turkish Vaneers for every English aristocrat.
and for the love of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Turkish hair plugs!
