Ads is one thing, but the ads are literally like every 2 minutes? That's insane. I hit play on the imbed, and the bar is displaying almost entirely yellow.
I didn't even notice that until just now - that's wild lol
lagunitas hoppy refresher mention >>>
Ah, ca ira, ca ira, ca ira Liam
Also, [redacted] Stan Kronke, with love, STL
If ads run to pay for Devons overtime, I am ok with it, they deserve $
As an LA resident and frequent public transit user, I absolutely love this episode, and so badly wished I was in the conversation to add so much more. Also I approve Liam semi-highjacking the episode to talk about his dad
Can someone please tell Devon I love them???
Thank you Devon our strongest soldier
"Today on tangents, we go on them for 4 fucking hours"
how is that any different from any other episode?
Why am have commercials...wait have there always been commercials??? Have I been pregaming too hard until now!?!? SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS REALITY TO ME
November was right about landlords. Just like Mao was right about landlords.
Devon, I normally don't comment on the Patreon feed, but dear god your Herculean effort on this one deserves it! o7
the fade out and then in of the crash anderson story perfectly captures the feeling of being the only one to miss a really funny conversation at a party
soooooo funny that there's some sort of spam vendor claiming to sell devices to protect you against the havana syndrome/heart attack/cancer/whatever gun in the comments on this episode in particular lmfao
so fun thing about cyber trucks about 15% of all cyber trucks in minnesota were lost to the lakes because they needed thicker ice in winter to drive on the lake than an F-150 or other full size trucks. currently 30 are sitting at the bottom of lakes in the Twin Cities area.
I have been editing this 💀 FOR WEEKS 💀
Where/what episode do I find Gareth's metro flow chart?
at the least, the Cincinnati Ghost Subway episode, at about 47:43 because i had to look for it again
YouTube ads on the bonus ep 😭
Yep, me too. Lousy capitalists.
"See how [your gender is] at the end of this" hits different when you're able to see the video length. Man could have reproduced in the time it took to make this episode.
I'm always saying this
I have to admit, I am curious about the landlord thing - does the same apply if one rents out space on their own property? Like renting out a room, or if your house has an in-law suite that you rent to family or a friend until you need it for your parents or kids? I generally agree about landlords, but I feel differently if someone is offering their own extra space. My rule of thumb is, if selling the rental property means you are selling your own home that you live in, it’s not the same (but maybe I’m biased because I know a few people who rent out rooms to help make ends meet).
It pains me (a bit) to be this guy, but as to Devon's comment about MORENA being a new party... my sibling in Christ, Mexico has mixed electoral systems and not first-past-the-post for its legislature. The first time MORENA candidates were up for the Chamber of Deputies, they got 14 district seats but 21 proportional representation seats. The story's more complicated than that, sure. But I would argue that the existence of first-past-the-post in the U.S. and the UK at the national levels means we have to spend even more time on non-electoral tactics since we're not going to get a new voting method overnight. Moving outside of electoral power is way more important if there's this much systemic, mathematical blockage to a third party. ... and I say this as someone who has spent over a decade frustrated and being a leech on society working in his day job to try to get Democrats elected, Bernie amongst them at one point. 🙃
Re: preventing British people from saying taco Paul Hollywood on his cooking show once made guacamole with a base of mayonnaise and my incredulous rage could have powered a sun - support taking Mexican food away the uk by force until we can figure out what is going on
Why do people hate trains so much do they think trains are going to kidnap their car or something? Or is it just trains = something for the people and I hate people? Distrust of public projects as vectors for corruption? (If that's the case I have bad news for these folks about private enterprise) It would be interesting to see what happens if someone framed public transit as "get all these annoying people out of your way and on their way" or " your car deserves a lane all to itself" or "if there's going to be corruption regardless, might as well get something nice out of it"
I think it's the same as all public transit. Poor people are there
you need a $5 tier to get rid of he censors
I'm so sick of hearing you s*** on anyone one atom short of where you are on the left and b**** about how they don't ever do anything, just to talk a big game with a lot of bleeps and empty rhetoric. You're also not doing those things. Either stop sitting around angry that no one else will or shut the f*** up p******.
My friend, they are podcasters, talking is their job.
I have never before seen a cut-to-test-screen interlude that then faded in an audio snippet from the cut section halfway through and faded it out again. That must have been one HELL of a tangent.
Vernon had a team in the Pacific Coast League in the early 20th Century. The team had to leave because it was not terribly unusual to find a gunfight breaking out in the stands during the game.
so odd that there are ads on this ep
Wonder if they can upload the video to Patreon to avoid ads?
The Beverly hillbillies isis bit destroyed me.
The mania of this one did me some serious good! Speaking of the FKs nothing will ever beat Stephen Colbert's History "teacher" on SWC Mr Noblet who teaches a class room of teenagers that JFK died because "Fidel Castro impersonated Marilyn Monroe and gave President Kennedy a case of syphilis so severe that eventually it blew the back of his head off."
Two hours in and we still haven't started talking about our episode topic. This is the podcasting we all pay for.
I love Rocz mutinying with Noah to commit to the derailment.
I'm increasing my donation and I want it to be considered a bonus for Devon, please. You know they deserve it.
Yeah, poor Devon really had their work cut out for them on this one. Their captions were off the hook.
Anybody else getting YouTube ads on this video? I don't really care, they're easy enough to skip, just jarring as I've never had ads on WTYP episode.
I am, yeah. Also slightly more jarring that it happens on the bonus episode vs a regular/free one :(
You know, going into it I thought it was going to be about something like the passengers of a LA metro train experiencing delirium (maybe due to ventilation issues in tunnels? wouldn't be the first time), not the podcasters. I'm not complaining about what I got, however - all the best podcasting happens when the podcasters are insane.
Great Episode. I love the new pivot to Youtube Shorts
over 4 hours, wonderful. I’m gonna get so much cleaning done
💃🎸✨ "La sombrita"
He may not be number one guest champion, but Noah is number 1 in my heart
That airfix game was real. C. 2002, i think.
Correct, being Irish doesn't make you psychic, and our government does *not* deploy scanners to explode the heads of anyone who says so.
Welfare check on Dev, you doing okay after this one Buddy?
Devon's earned their weight in gold on this one.
Really loving the Glue Factory esque riffing going on here.
Another excellent production. I have a job that requires me to have educational content mixed with crude jokes and constant banter pumped into my ears at all times during the working day. This podcast keeps me housed and fed.
There were so many beeps during the goddamn news I thought my phone was receiving a severe weather warning.
Another thing that the new proposed map completely neglects is, oh, all of Alhambra, Monterey Park, Rosemead, and San Gabriel. The commuter rail passes *through* them on the 10; does it stop? No! Everybody who lives there works downtown and takes the 60 or the 10 to work, and there is *no train.* It would be so easy to extend the gold line along the 60, but right where the station should terminate near the old dump they built a Top Golf instead.
I wear my “you’re boeing to die” shirt regularly at my airport job.
🐖 Vancouver, WA has some bendy busses that bikes can go inside!
So does Seattle! But only on the G line
Clearly podcasting is professional engineering since you can go to jail for screwing up the edit.
I wanna know how many times Devon's trembling hand hovered over the Publish button before deciding to listen through one more time
struggling to get video to load on phone. my hubris
eagerly awaiting the bonus episode with liam’s dad as a guest
Love the returning 'editing horror' bit. Devon is fuckin great.
Devon, we salute you.

Where is the donation link?
can we get a bonus episode on the new left with Liam's parents.
thank you so much for making an episode for me and only me specifically. how did y'all know i used to live in LA as someone who doesn't drive?
So about that torrent site invite, is it still available or do i have to be a tier higher for that
People who complain about California's emissions laws don't know what it was like to grow up there all the way through the 80s
LA doesn't get good sunsets anymore because of woke
To November about the glimpse from 2:24:47 The game name is Airfix Dogfighter. It is about model airplanes from Second World War fighting the war over the household. Allied model planes fight against the Axis, small Spitfires trying to protect bombers on the bombing run to sink the u-boats in the bathroom. Great arcade-sim, lots of nerdish historical humour about plane details and solid anti-nazi laughing.
I work in Vernon. Not only can you taste it, you will be feeling at least slightly nauseous all day on any of the days the animal fat rendering places are off-gasing. The place is hell.
o7 to Devon on this one in particular
Panorama City was the San Fernando Valley's first planned community started by Henry J. Kaiser. Kaiser Hospital was basically the medical equivalent of a panopticon. Nurses in the middle, patients all around.
how silly must a podcast topic be for it to be called silly by the WTYP gang?
im listening to it rn and i now know how silly it is
What's the Patreon tier to get the version with the libel and threats intact? Asking for a friend lol. But no seriously, we love you Devon, you and your hard efforts to keep the podcast from being sued/arrested.
I believe that's covered under the Mile Bloomberg Tier
Apparently if you we a mischief making teen in Pasadena in the 1930s you would grease the track for the Pacific Electric on an incline causing the train to slip. This would cause the driver to have to stop and throw sand on the track. This was a story my father told me, so it may or may not be true.
Is there lore on why the Half As Interesting guy prompted a full Devon Redaction?
Haven't got there yet but a tenner says it's because the gang made a fair and reasoned critique of his hyperlib content that happened to include where he should put it
LAPD and LA County Sheriff’s Department could be their own episodes except for how everyone involved would be immediately and conveniently killed by unknown assailants that no police department could ever find. Edit: also, Troop Beverly Hills but ISIL.
The Dollop did a multi part episode about the LAPD.
From lampposts!
um...so...can we get that pic of Dev for the audio only versions? Cause wow.
hang on I havent watched it yet but ARE THE BOEING SHIRTS BACK. I would KILL for a Boeing shirt. I mean i could get one off redbubble but I'd like to make sure my money doesn't go to corporate greed and instead goes to something important, like liam's newest pair of headphones
2 mins in and theres already insane Liam dad lore
Dude holy shit why is Devon so hot
Six minutes and totally off the rails! Excellent.
The Dodgers are a New York team and always will be. LA has stolen every single one of it's sport's teams and that city is a parasite on the nation.
Praying for Devon on this one
Fuck yes. I am gonna play Hello Kitty Island Adventure and devour this
Femboy Body Inspector shirt....plz 🥰
What have they done to Devon?
What a thumbnail
4 hours? Oh, Devon. Your podcasters were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
I want my 2 dollars to go to Devon this month
Me: Oh look, a new WTYP just dropped. I'll watch this and then we can go run errands. Me: [looks at time] Me: I'll watch the god damned news and then we can go run errands
One hour later…
I have worn the Boeing shirt through TSA security before and they all looked way too tired to even care.
You would get a high 5 from me if you wore it through my checkpoint.
THANK YOU, DEVON! Podcast MVP!
I can't open the video in Patreon and I also can't link to it on YT because Google is trash.
If you're trying to open them in mobile, you can sometimes force it to work by switching to Desktop version in your browser app. It's extremely unoptimised to use, but if you're just listening it's better than nothing
FOUR HOURS? JEEZ ITS JUST LIKE TAKING PRIVATE TRANSPORT IN LA
Thank God shift is a long one today
cant wait to lick that bus stop
got my entertainment for work tonight. let's fucking go
A whole 4 hours of libel and threats? You shouldn't have! ...no seriously, please stop. Devon needs to sleep.
Afternoon is set
Devon thank you for your sacrifices and for this 4 hour gift to humanity
lfg
Holly 4 hours batman !
I mean, isn’t LA traffic always a nightmare?
