I love Alice's voice in this, she sounds like Abby doing her evil voice
sorry if this insensitive but, what happened to NYC why is it destroyed?
IIRC it was right after some heavy rains and flooding in NYC because of Hurricane Ida. (September 1-5, 2021)
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.
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!!
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.
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
Just give me playback errir 😭
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 😁
literally just the USSR national anthem intro: https://youtu.be/U06jlgpMtQs
I need more "train good car bad shirts" this is fucking embarrassing. you can't just be sold out that's not OK
First time seeing Alice. Girl, you're gorgeous!
Alice quoting horse-ebooks like it doesn't send me into full pronunciationbook ptsd
Can we use bridges to generate power?
yay liam!
Yay Liam
i also live inside a laptop
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 😭
Alice finally got around to the voice training, but it was voice training to become a Dalek
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
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
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
Maybe I’m being shallow but Alice’s look is chef’s kiss perfection. Great job!
Well done, well done.
Holy shit, Justin sounds about thirty years younger on that mic. Also: Car bad, Live Episode good.
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
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
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.
How does that calculation work if you factor in international flights?
This was glorious, I watched it live on the stream and imma watch it again here !
an absolute joy, you guys killed it
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
This was a delight to watch, Thank you for your continued entertainment!
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....
At the venue they played a clip of the bridge shaking before they came out
That was fantastic thanks for the awesome content.
l did like having a room full of New Yorkers booing Robert Moses like he's Haman in a Purimspiel.
Haha, If you already got that voice, I expect a few Max Headroom glitches in Cyber Alice next time... :)
I had to refund my tickets to go to a wedding and I miss out on the Tacoma Narrows??
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.
This really cements the parasocial relationship
alice and the hi-viz hijab
Let’s FUCKING go!!!!
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?
YAY LIAM
Thank you once again for signing my MTA Track Safety Training Card, i will get Alice in on this soon.
Thanks again for helping me find tix!!!
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 🤩🤩🤩
Alice instructing Liam to recover the Platinum Chip and bring it to her
I was told there would be horse viscera
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
Robot Alice!
3 minutes in and it’s already everything I ever thought it could be.
am i just out of the loop or is the audio for alice fucked up?
yeah its fucked up, the internet decided Alice needed the Dalek filter.

You madmen! You did it! You really did it!
pog!
alice auditioning to be one of the Shadow Council from XCom
Yay Liam
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.
What about "Socrates Deconstruction"? Wouldn't that be a proper name for a firm?
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.
Robo Alice is best Alice
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
Yes oh god yes!
Yay Alice
yay!
Is it a good deal if we did both?
