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?
