Okay. And we are going, uh, well,
0:02
not quite going, cause I gotta
0:04
get the slideshow going. LIAM God damn
0:06
it! JUSTIN Wait,
0:09
that's not what I wanted to do. Crap. How
0:11
do I- how do I- LIAM Hi! We're
0:13
idiots, and- JUSTIN Not that stupid, it's
0:15
just a complicated, y'know, series of pre-flight
0:17
checks we have to do in order
0:19
to get this plane flying. LIAM
0:22
Pre-flight checks. LIAM DCS Wild Us.
0:25
JUSTIN Yes. Exactly. Um,
0:28
that's going, that's going, Zencaster's going, we're
0:30
going. Oh my God. Alright. Um.
0:34
LIAM Welcome to Tuesday Night Maxxion, no
0:36
wait, wrong podcast. ALICE So if you
0:38
just cut in here, um, Reinhold Messner
0:41
is Italian. Reinhold Messner- LIAM
0:43
So I've learned from the comments, good
0:45
lord. ALICE Reinhold Messner is
0:47
Italian. I- stop telling me that
0:49
Reinhold Messner is Itali- I swear
0:51
to God, I put in two
0:53
whole slides about how I don't
0:55
respect you people when you correct
0:57
me on the facts, and what
0:59
do you do but correct me
1:02
on the facts again. I'm gonna
1:04
get more stuff wrong on purpose.
1:06
Reinhold Messner is Swiss now. Eat
1:08
shit. LIAM Nope, he's Swedish. We're gonna
1:10
keep moving him around. ALICE Yeah,
1:12
the sort of like, the thing at
1:14
the start of the show is we
1:17
announce what nationality Reinhold Messner is this
1:19
fortnight. Reinhold
1:21
Messner is from Swaziland. The
1:23
joke that they wanted to do with
1:25
Daniel Craig in the Knives
1:28
Out series. Just inexplicably. ALICE Oh, give
1:30
him a different accent every time? Yeah. REINHARDT
1:33
Inexplicably, yeah. JUSTIN Oh, that'd be funny. That, I
1:35
think, would have made the second one a better
1:37
film. ALICE But Knives Out 2, but he's
1:39
talking like the South African Sams from
1:41
Auntie Donna. Yeah, I'm very,
1:43
very on board with this. REINHARDT Very
1:45
into it. JUSTIN
1:48
Welcome to Well, There's Your Problem. It's
1:50
a podcast about engineering disasters.
1:53
With slides. I'm Justin
1:55
Rosnack, I'm the person who's talking right now. My pronouns
1:57
are he and him. Okay, go. ALICE I
1:59
am Alice Caldwell-Kelley. I'm the person who's talking now. My pronouns
2:01
are she and her, and I'm a very sleepy girl because it's
2:03
11 PM, where I am. So
2:06
we'll see if I make it through this. Yay, Liam. Yay,
2:09
Liam. Sorry, I have a
2:11
mouthful of C4 flavors.
2:13
Plastic explosive. Yeah. Frozen
2:16
bomb-sicle, of course. Delicious, delicious, plastic. My pronouns are
2:18
key here. I know, it's safe to burn, but
2:20
I don't think it's safe to eat. No,
2:22
I think... Hey, why don't you mind your goddamn business,
2:25
Danny State? I'm
2:28
so full of delicious C4 plastic explosives.
2:31
Sure am. Someone give
2:33
me the nutrient facts sheet on that, you
2:35
know? Bad. Just says bad.
2:37
Hey, where did the C4 plastic explosive
2:39
go? Liam is like sitting there, so
2:41
like... Shomping away. Ah, darn. What
2:44
is it? Bunching block
2:46
of Kerrygold butter? Damn,
2:48
we do that? Yeah.
2:52
What you see on the screen in front
2:55
of you is a big boat running into
2:57
a small boat. Yeah,
3:00
beautiful, beautiful illustration. Beautiful, I like
3:02
the 19th century illustration of peril.
3:04
You seldom see an illustrated peril
3:06
anymore. You don't see peril anymore
3:08
in this way, no. No, you
3:10
just see 9-11. Yeah,
3:12
there's more peril in the world, but
3:15
there's less illustrations of it. Yeah,
3:17
because the thing is, the
3:19
illustration of peril captures the fateful moment
3:21
and a very dramatic way, whereas now
3:23
your like is not to see some
3:26
cell phone footage that ends with someone
3:28
lying dead on the ground or scattered
3:30
across a square or something, and
3:33
the moment of peril passes by very quickly,
3:35
whereas here you have frozen and immortalized it
3:37
to tell us the Victoria Maro. Immortalized
3:40
peril as opposed to modern peril where
3:42
you get hit by a missile that
3:44
turns you into mortadella or something. Exactly.
3:47
Yeah. Yeah, I don't like being turned into
3:49
cold cuts, I can tell you that right
3:51
now. Reinhold Messner's presumably favorite cold cut on
3:53
account of the fact that he is Italian.
3:56
Of course, he is Italian as of now. Yeah,
4:00
today we're going to
4:03
talk about a weird
4:05
disaster, a surprisingly deadly disaster
4:08
and also a disgusting disaster.
4:10
Yeah, does it involve poop?
