Yeah, the sight and sound of these fighter jets passing just over our heads was an integral part of growing up in the eastern part of West Germany in the 1980s. (Tiefflieger über dem Zonenrandgebiet)
You can feel Liams palpable disdain during the entire second act and I thoroughly sympathize. Germans got off too easy.
Just joined Fucking finally. Love you guys and gals. Especially November you sexy voiced Brit.
In regards to the dutch prince bernhard, his NSDAP membership card has recently been rediscovered so he actually lowered the Nazi corruption effort. also his nazi party membership was a bit of an open secret so we weren't really surprised to begin with.
Pretty sure the lines on the f35 are just seams in the skin panels, they look like they line up pretty well with the blkhds and other underlying structural members. Probably radar absorbing tape. It’s worth noting that’s where the fuel bays are.
Saving this for my "things that have aged poorly" folder
... Oh no
Woof! Just got here, the cover photo did NOT age well. Love y'all! Can't wait to listen at work!
thumbnail aged like milk
When I was a little kid, I had a box of plastic injection molded airplanes, played with them all the time, and my favorite was the star fighter, but I also thought "i dunno, stars are pretty big" 🤣
Might not of worked but at least it looked good doing it.
Regarding the F-86 vs MiG-15 discussion, I'm gonna have to steal one of Liam's lines. "Scoreboard, bitch!" The MiG-15 was a stellar rate fighter and packed a punch, but the sabres held their own and then some.
Is there an unlisted playlist of all these? That would help at least / I want one of those
just search for well there is your problem bonus episodes on youtube and you get the playlist
12:58 The idea that NASA was a Nazi organization is blatantly wrong. Both Abe Silverstein and George M. Low, two very prominent people in the upper leadership, were Jewish and without Silverstein's research and advocacy for liquid hydrogen as a fuel for its upper stages, the Saturn as we know it would not exist.
Operation Paperclip was a thing mate
question: new patron here, is there a way to get an audio only version of the bonus episodes? Asking because I like to listen to these while I work as a delivery driver but the youtube app doesn't let me play the videos when the screen is locked or I'm doing something else on the phone.
If there's an audio only version, that'd be a better solution. But I have a workaround for youtube! I listen to wtyp at work using youtube.com inside a brave app browser with background video playback turn on.
I wonder how much the test card graphic Devon made confused Rosz and Liam
Kinda hate how in every one of these episodes Alice finds a way to slurp Russian military equipment.
Despite the problematic name, I like the MIG-15 even more
Common' boys, I'm all out of your episodes and if I don't get more I'm gonna be real sick....
Now i'm just waiting for the Avro Arrow episode.
its Feb 24. i blew out my knee. i miss you. i need you.
please do one on the mig-21 as well
Or the MiG-25 might be really funny.
I just joined the patreon - is there no RSS feed for bonus eps? Thanks and please do not yell at me I am new thanks!
I have same question
hey y'all, first time long time, loved the episode but that thumbnail did trigger my fight or flight response so thanks! on a serious note, wondering if you guys had plans of covering the Indonesian mud volcano disaster that's still going to this day? Seems taylor made for this podcast, has all the wtyp hallmarks like corporate fuckery and poor people getting shafted. Anyway, love the show! sincerely, probably the only wtyp fan from Indonesia.
I've been the ambulance going by at mach Jesus with a box full of human liver before. Fun stuff.
episode on land defense engineering i no y’all got a take
aye talk abt the atl forest struggle
This episode was absolute top tier art. Amazing.
Patreon Gf: Please babe just give us a premium RSS feed 😭😭😭 WTYP: no Cringe aside pls can we get a rss feed that's not from podbean? I want to deliver milk while listening to the beautiful voices on here
Aw damn, I was all excited/filled with pre-emptive dread and sadness for an episode about Israel-Palestine, though I guess this makes more sense given the scope of the pod. As an anti-zionist Jew who loves your work I'd be eager to hear your breakdown of it.
Mmmm Heady Topper
You mean I don't have to use Patreon's godawful UI? Count me in
Howdy, all! I just subscribed and the RSS feed address is failing, saying ‘the server or feed can not be found’. Any suggestions on how/where to listen to past locked episodes? Thanks!
The german equivilent of chunky marinara is called sausge stuffing.
sir, a second TNO reference has hit WTYP.
Slightly off-topic, but does anyone have suggestions on how to get the audio only for the premium episodes? My internet access is spotty and I listen to a lot of podcasts.
it's really not hard to get a mp3 out of a youtube video. there are web sites that do that easily. you just have to to deal with the final file.
dev coming through with the test card rocz
You should DEFINITELY bring War Takes back on if you ever do an episode about the Rwandan Genocide! Seriously, Rwandan Genocide episode, guest starring War Takes – make it happen, comrades.
2 1/2 hours in and I'm still waiting for Robert Preston as Centauri to show up.
Devon being funnier than anyone ever alive
Many houses in Tokyo are earthquake resistant so I suspect that is why stood up to a Piper hitting it.
The reason the US Gov got so upset with Lockheed was not because they were upset about the foreigners it was the other US aircraft manufacturers.
funny that Alice called that sidewinder big boob anime girl because those are really median size tiddies for a anime waifu lol
Not compared to classic anime 🙈
To think Canada could have had the Avro Arrow, instead we got this and the F101.
the air force museum at wright pat is great
Are you going to also cover the F-100 Hun? Those things were similarly death traps until they got the bugs worked out.
This episode was so short, you definitely had time to mention the movie-length ad / "feature film" The Starfighters, featuring long scenes of a refueling plane and the squad having an orgy. This image is seared into my memory banks thanks to MST3K. Devon: fantastic job capturing the last episode prior to a now very expected cancellation. You really captured their spirits. And Zencaster's.
The MST3K episode was the first thing that came to mind when they mentioned the F-104.
Crying, sobbing, begging anyone to do a STARFIGHTER SUPER LEGARRIO bit
Perfect thumbnail, no notes.
DEVONNNNNNNNN
You didn't mention the spurs! F-104 pilots had to wear a special harness on their shoes that pulled their feet inwards toward the ejection chair upon ejection. They looked like spurs and was know to cause injury to one's ankles. The XB-70 also had a crazy unique ejection system, but that had and escape pod that could break your legs while pulling you the escape pod.
Wait, Heady Topper finally broke containment from Vermont??
In response to Liam's question of why I pay money for this podcast, it is quite simple: I'm in a very low states findom relationship with Alice
the early history of NATO is american generals having talks with guys all named Herr Doktorprofessor Adolf Fuhrerlieber and going like "my best friend Adolf was a wealth of knowledge on how to fight Russians; we are extremely pleased to hear all about his expertise on rapid mechanized warfare in eastern europe. Me and the rest of the general officer corp cannot contain our excitement to work with him today, and also whenever the war we actually care about breaks out!"
Say what you will about Franco but at least the F-104s ran on time
Hmmmm, not brave enough to use this thumbnail on YouTube huh? Would have gained a lot of hate money from new Patreon subs. Free Palestine btw
Prince Bernhard was not the crown prince, he was the prince concort of queen Juliana. Queen Juliana theatened to abdicate, so she was not the mother and Bernhard was technically never in line for the throne (though he certianly had ambitions). Bernhard also was not Dutch, but German, and a very problematic German at that. After the war, he was trying to become kind of the dictator of the Netherlands in order to prevent the Dutch Communist Party from getting to much power. Bernhard is quite infamous for being a serial sexual abuser or palace staff, and abuse of his spouse. A real piece of work.
I don't care enough about Belgian royal politics to read all that hope you had fun writing it though
The Japanese have helicopters with anime girls on them
...which are anime versions of the female waifu pilots themselves...
2:28:16 It was the spirit of one specific Kamikaze in particular, Rocz, and it was one of the ones that DID hit his target. Probably the guy that took out St. Lo or something.
"The Disintegration of my Jeep Cherokee" sounds like the title of a John Singleton Copley painting
Or a Modest Mouse album.
Kelly Johnson: not Claire, but Clarence. Or "Clarence Leonard "Kelly" Johnson", as Wikipedia has it
can't wait for Ep 123... (07:13)
Also, Bernhard wasn't the son of Wilhelmina (the one threatening to abdicate) but her son-in-law. He wasn't the king in waiting, he was the prince-consort in waiting, being married to (later Queen) Juliana.
Fun fact: prince Bernhard the failson was _also_ a Nazi. Apparently just a cheap one!
Bernhard deserves an episode of his own, being a Nazi to founding the Bilderberg group to being an inspiration for a Bond villian to nearly collapsing the Dutch monarchy on behalf of Alan Dulles (allegedly)
It's also funny to see the design lineage of the F15 in the Northrop Fang's canopy and forward fuselage. You can also see it in the shape of the canopy between the F104 and the F35. If you squint enough you can see that canopy shape in the P38.
*Pulls out calipers for planes. "Interesting..."
Thank you Alice for pronouncing it "nuclear" and not "nukular".
I don't get how the thumbnail is related to the topic at all. (just for the record , a captioned photo of an Israeli demonstration). I hope the podcast is about an engineering disaster nonetheless. I'm reading comments about planes.
If you haven't watched the episode yet: it is about plane, but a throwaway joke enabled the editor to choose violence
You missed the best part about how the Canadians were flying them. They had built a plaster model of the Fulda gap and recorded the radar returns from that. The pilot would get a binder of the expected radar returns for various points along his flightpath. He would use this to fly a low level ground attack mission AT NIGHT.
re: 1:58-ish, Italian for "super" is, indeed, just "super" in an Italian accent. They love to stick the word "super" onto things. On a very cursory search, it does appear to simply have been called the (Super) Starfighter in Italian.
This must have been a godsend when localising Super Mario
Australia bought Mirages to defend Singapore and Darwin
My gandpa warned me about ever entiring this plane ever, when I was a child, And he didn't even serve. Also mad respect to the Belgians for ordering a primal number of Jets.
I want, more than possibly anything, to see a movie about the Japanese porn guy 9/11-ing that guy's house.
The missile knows where it is, because the man in it knows where he isn't.
The Vietnam problems had nothing to do with guns or the lack of them.
A million dollars can buy many bottles of pappy. Liam: Explain how!
Looks like the editor has been compromised by Mossad. Lol
It was an Antonov that was unfortunately destroyed in Ukraine, not a Tupolev
yes I watched the entire episode, this is one I laughed at a bunch
fuck yeah two plane episodes in a row
Kerbal at 1:20
It's not supposed to look like that
I must be a sailor on the USS Liberty, Cuz That thumbnail killed me.
yo this plane phallic as hell
Steinhof looks like he's on the other side of the They Live glasses Edit: Half these Nazi motherfuckers look like extras from They Live
what did the rest of us miss? they changed the photo...
F107a? How many airplanes are we looking at here.
Quite a few, The 50s to early 60's was the golden era of American aerospace spending.
Already learned all about how neat this jet, and more importantly how cool and handsome its pilots are, from The Starfighters (1964) on MST3K.
Buhhhhh BUM BUM BUM
Why did the USAF let MidJourney design their first jet fighters?
I actually laughed out loud when I clicked through. That thumbnail belongs in a museum.
absolutely incredible
TW jumpscare for the thumbnail
Oh that thumbnail is a work of art.
“Two Planes, One Air Intake”
uh oh
Devon's joker style "sometimes I want to see the comments burn" style editing really bringing new life to the podcast
WTYP trying a new strategy of 'make the audience hate you' in increasingly desperate gambits to no longer have to do the podcast anymore.
Be sure to listen to Welle:Erdball - Starfighter F-104G!
For a moment I was like, “oh damn, rage bait title but let’s get INTO some real deep history about the region as a whole and what led us to the disaster we’re in today” And then I clicked on it
preview pic not exactly what I was going for when checking my patreon pron subscriptions
I'm sure the comments on this will be entirely sane
WTYP trying to get cancelled and nothing works, then Alice turns around and says "hey, how about this:"
The Patriots are in control of the pictures.
Cheers to the beautiful heady Topper Liam cracked open
I love ruining bits - it's the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, folks
Pre-ruined by the YT preview.
Devons editing is such a wonderfully chaotic addition to the WTYP dynamic
Putting on my rugby gear and heading into the comments
thousands of twitter users have just added this image to their iphone notes list of alice’s transgressions
Oh jeez oh God oh fuck oh jeez
Can't wait for the WTYP: Youtube episode
lawn dart lawn dart lawn dart
Holy shit lol
This got me good lmao
Blake Flayton guest appearance!
This won't be an emotion-driven episode at all
hmm
Hell yeah
