** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDc5swiPUjQ&t=7740 Rocz sneezes in 3, 2, 1...]]

** The UnfortunateNames from the first part return with a vengeance, resulting in the crew having to deal with names like "Seaman John Poingdestre" (sounds like "poindexter", and yes, they get some snickers from "seaman" too) and "Archibald Butt" (who was also an major in the American Army, so he went by Major Butt).

** The fact that on the slide explaining starchitecture, Bjarke Ingels is represented by a picture of the [[Franchise/TheMuppets The Swedish Chef]].[[note]]The joke is that Bjarke sounds "Bork", something the Swedish Chef says often.[[/note]]

** November correcting Rocz's mention of the California Water Wars as the ''[[GallowsHumor First]]'' [[GallowsHumor California Water Wars]], complete with reverb.

** Tom, a school teacher, sets up the slides for the episode as he would for a class, complete with stating Pennsylvania Department of Education Standards and asking the other hosts if they're sitting criss-cross-applesauce.

'''November:''' Goddamnit! I was gonna do that shit, fucking goddamnit dude...oh God, uh, I am, uh, fucking, Malice...Coldskull...Skellington, and my pronouns are...\\

'''November:''' Goddamnit! I was gonna do that shit, fucking goddamnit dude...oh God, uh, I am, uh, fucking, MAlice...Coldskull...Skellington, and my pronouns are...\\

'''Liam:''' Well, I am Scream-am Anderson.\\

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rczMAfAE44U Episode 147: SS Princess November Sinking]]
** Given the name of the ship in question, it should come as no surprise that the [=YouTube=] comments were ''immediately'' filled with joking tributes to November's supposed passing.

'''Alice:''' I beg your pardon.\\

'''Alice:''' Okay. Fine. It sounds like an [[AirportNovel airport novel.]]\\

-->'''Alice:''' You know it's not actually up to code to have the hallways be like a [[Creator/JunjiIto Junji Ito]] [[Manga/TheEnigmaOfAmigaraFault faultline]] thing where you just fit the person into them with no space.\\

'''Alice:''' It was made for me and then it went through a series of revisions before being stamped and...\\

** Justin quotes one witness account who sees the locomotive before the crash, barreling down the tracks with its lights off, in the middle of the night, with sparks coming out both sides. Alice and Liam take a moment to admit that, ignoring ''all the death'' it's about to cause in a few instants, it's an awesome visual worthy of an album cover. Alice opines that it's probably how her teenage self would've wanted to die.

** Alice gives one of the early slides the poetic title of "Grover Climbing out of his Well to Shame Mankind" and it all goes downhill from there.

** While discussing Three Mile Island, Justin begins describing the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer Water Hammer]] phenomenon. Alice chimes in that Water Hammer diagrams [[https://structuretech1.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Water-hammer-diagram-440x362.jpg always look extremely metal]]." The crew immediately start trying to one-up each other by saying '''"WATER HAMMER"''' as dramatically as possible before Alice adds [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 "In the grim future of Water Hammer 40K there is only—"]] before Liam complains of her stealing his joke.

'''Alice:''' Yeah, but then there was one guy, with a slightly different style of moustache, who kind of interfered with all of this.\\

'''Alice:''' Nope, nothing? Making an Adolf Hitler reference, because he fucking bombed Britain hard enough that some sizable percentage of the housing was just totally destroyed.\\

'''Alice:''' Well there are a couple, but actually not with mustaches weirdly, because they tended to be Quakers...

'''Alice:''' Railroad operating license given to one "Creator/{{Franz Kafka}}"?\\

** Alice mispronouncing the word "mispronunciation."

** Alice, who had been kicked from the conversation due to a power outage, rejoins the episode and asks if the others have gotten to the compensation part yet. When informed of the modern value of £50, [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike she immediately suggests the parents could use the compensation to buy a PlayStation]].

-->'''Alice:''' They say Britain has no organic culture, but ... who else could have invented the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millwall_brick Millwall Brick]], folding up a newspaper so that you can sneak it through stadium security and using it as brass knuckles.

** Alice mentions how Riley complained about the bubbles in one type of carbonated water being "too sharp." Rocz nearly dies laughing for a full minute.

** The crew go over a worksheet that Alice describes as "an assault on the concept of maths" and then learn that they haven't even gotten to the actual disaster yet.

** When the crew begin discussing the explosive behind the disaster, Alice points out that having a Muslim woman talking about Ammonium Nitrate will cause SWAT teams to come down her chimney and spends the rest of the slide going [[IgnoringBySinging "LA LA LA!"]] whenever the chemical is brought up.
** Alice gets a comeback when she starts discussing the potential of the crew putting the initial fire out with masturbation, and suggests the MI-5 agent still listening will ''probably'' write her off as a harmless crackpot at this point.
** Alice points out that the [[AlliterativeName Carbide & Carbon Chemicals Corp]] was apparently a real thing, and sounds like the name of a Joker hideout from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.

-->'''Alice:''' So, we talked about this on the APT episode, but like, the dismal nature of Britain. You made a Russian look depressed! How did we ''do'' that? How did we make Mike from Russia, who has only known making guns, and snow, and everybody he knows being killed by fascists, ''more'' depressed?

** Alice takes a stab at pronouncing "Lake Peigneur" by working it into the sentence [[RunningGag "shake hands with]] [[{{Pun}} Peigneur"]].

** The discussion on how the foreman must have felt when an entire drilling rig fell over and got sucked into a ten foot deep lake, with Alice remarking he probably considered whether he'd struck [[Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu R'lyeh]]. This leads to the hosts discussing how shallow a lake you could get a lake monster into and whether there is such a thing as a 'puddle monster'.
** Halfway through the episode, Liam ends up going on an extended rant out of nowhere on how much he ''hates fish''. Not only does he hate fish, he ''doesn't respect'' fish. This leads to several bouts of snickering and snark from Justin and Alice for the rest of the episode.

--->'''Alice:''' Just the idea of like a Truckasaurus, but it's a hearse, it just shoves...\\

'''Alice:''' Look, we cope with the bleakness in our own ways here.\\

--->'''Alice:''' Everybody's a conservationist until they get the estimate.

** Alice's attempt at French:
--->'''Alice:''' Hon hon hon, je ne c'est-pas brakes.

** The "God Damn News" segment that predates the actual talk about Tenerife, containing someone who [[RammingAlwaysWorks tried to ram a hospital ship with a train]] in Los Angeles and the Venezuelean navy losing one of their ships in [[MuggingTheMonster trying to ram an Arctic cruise vessel designed for ice-breaking in international waters]]. Alice referring to the latter to an incident where there was stupid on both sides gets her mockingly referred to as an [[NeutralityBacklash "enlightened centrist"]] by Liam.
** Alice pointing out that the IRA had an authentication system during UsefulNotes/TheTroubles so that British intelligence would know if a bomb threat was being genuine. The hosts then start snarking over whether or not the system had a fallback if the IRA forgot their password and whether or not that involved remembering their mother's maiden name.
** Alice confusing "''Churra''squería" (steakhouse) with "''Churro''squería" (presumably some place that sells churros) and assuming that the SoleSurvivor of [=KLM4805=] (a woman who hadn't re-boarded the plane because she was at the aforementioned restaurant) was getting churros at the time of the impact. (In the next episode she describes this mistake as "thinking a restaurant was more delicious than it was".)

** Alice pointing out that after the Aberfan episode, the podcast has made dirt their ArchEnemy. She later points out that a dam is where dirt fights water, before adding that this also means it fights fish, the podcast's other ArchEnemy, causing Liam to almost go on another anti-fish rant.
** Alice describes water going over the top of a dam as the dam "exceeding technical specifications".

** Justin steps away for a restroom break, leaving Alice and Liam to talk among themselves for a bit. When he returns, he finds the other two have decided in his absence that while cops aren't cool, cop ''cars'' are, especially undercover ones painted non-standard colors like green and burgundy... and that dams would be cooler if they had emergency lights.

'''Alice:''' "Slave boy, it can be said that the escalator is a superior mode of transportation can it not?"

'''Alice:''' Oh, you want more? You want more? ''[plays the jingle again]'' I've become ''so'' powerful now that I've got a button that plays "The East is Red" at maximum volume, any time I want.

'''Alice:''' Well, I mean look, it's an alarm siren, they're clearly alarmed, so job done.\\

--->'''Alice:''' I'd love to live on the 86th floor of "Hope We Don't Jinx It Sharjah"! We call it "Hubris at the Avenue"!\\

'''Alice:''' I mean, that's essentially what the Burj Dubai is.\\

** While looking at a map of Goiânia, Alice notices a place marked "Flamboyant Shopping Center" and wonders what kind of clothing you have to wear to be allowed to shop there.

'''Alice:''' This is the thing that finally gets the like FBI to kick your door in, is inciting violence against Wawas.\\

''[Alice plays the FBI Raid drop]''\\

-->'''Alice:''' The image in my mind, is Liam, up the Hindu Kush trying to redline, trying to v-max a goat.

** Alice as an Operation Gladio agent.

** In the buildup to the incident, Alice mentions there's a sound drop she'd really like to play once they get to the actual collapse. What is it?

** Justin listing a LongList of on-board features of the ''[[https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships/symphony-of-the-seas Symphony of the Seas]]'' while Alice and Liam get increasingly upset at the size and decadence, leading to both starting to scream over each other when they get to the ''two'' on-board climbing walls and robot bartenders.
--->'''Alice:''' You're just trying to [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/attack-and-dethrone-god attack and dethrone God]]! Like, you're just—''[Dual screaming devolves into incoherence, Justin breaks down laughing]''\\
'''Liam:''' That's some vintage ''Well There's Your Problem'' shit, where it's Rocz bravely trying to read through a features list while Alice and I scream at him.\\
'''Alice:''' Robot bartenders!\\

'''Alice:''' It's also literally a vending machine!
** Immediately following this, Liam brings up Jamie Oliver, and Alice's reaction thereto:

--->'''Alice:''' That, fucking... Thick-tongued ''cunt!'' He made all of the soda in this country taste bad!

'''Alice:''' That's a line from ''Theatre/{{Chicago}}''!\\

'''Alice:''' "My friend decided to embrace the way of the {{Samurai}}, [[{{Seppuku}} and chose an honourable death on my blade!]]"\\

'''Alice:''' Uh, as seen here...''[laughs]''\\

'''Alice:''' Yep. So ugly the ground repels it.

** Alice and Liam take a moment to comment on [[RummageSaleReject how bizarre the Scottish judge uniforms look]] and how jarring it must be to recount how you saw your co-workers burn alive to a guy who looks like an OffModel Santa Claus.

** Alice and Liam comparing entering the Las Vegas Loop station to storming Omaha Beach and making up a RousingSpeech on how the tourists will have to fight their way past the road outside and into the vehicles pulling in or out of the station at high speeds.

'''Alice:''' They call me "Mr. Too Damn Deals"!\\
''[realization sinks in even further, Alice and Justin breaks down laughing]''\\
'''Alice:''' ''[through laughter]'' So he's... He agreed to do this... impossible thing ''on spec?''\\
'''Liam:''' He's a genius of our times, Alice.\\
'''Alice:''' Oh, that's business. That's ''good'' business.

-->'''Alice:''' We are connecting a pin and some red string between Saudi Aramco and why all the apartments look Like That as opposed to the usual connection of Saudi Aramco and 9/11.

-->'''Alice:''' We're just gazing into this faceted jewel, one facet of which is "doing 9/11," and another is "all of the apartment buildings look like that."

'''Alice:''' [[ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud JFK voice,]] [[UsefulNotes/TheSpaceRace "We choose to do these things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."]]\\

'''Alice:''' Which is more inhospitable to human life, the Earth's Moon or Buffalo?\\

** After long tangents about Alice getting canceled on Twitter and Swedish food, Justin finally decides that it's time for The God Damn News. Alice then proceeds to play an audio clip that is [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2122ShortFilmsAboutSpringfield definitely not The God Damn News jingle.]]

'''Alice:''' ...I make a valuable contribution to this podcast.\\

** Frank Seiberling, co-founder of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, was looking for new market for rubbers, one of which was airtight gas sacks for zeppelins. Guest Mia Mulder comments sarcastically that apparently nobody was making anything with rubbers that the company had to "scrape the bottom of the barrel". Alice adds that fetishes hadn't yet been invented, hence no rubber usage then. The conversation then devolves into [[ArtisticLicenseHistory how the Germans invented kink in 1956, single-handedly advancing material science]], and the [[InherentlyFunnyWords funny word that Germans (and Swedes) use for "rubber" ("Gummi")]]. Needless to say, Alice and Mia [[RunningGag have a field day with "Gummi" for the rest of the episode.]]

** Alice [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=8155&v=chlF5oubFHU improves]] on Liam's {{Pun}}

'''Alice:''' Yeah, "we found your truck," he says, as he brings you like a garbage bag and a shovel. \\

'''Alice:''' I'm ceremonially scattering my truck's ashes!\\

--->'''Alice:''' No, it's a radical new approach to building skyscrapers. You just take a 170 kilometer line in one direction...\\

** Everyone then proceeds to lose it over the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_(archipelago) World Islands]] off of the coast of Dubai - namely, how much some of them ''don't'' look like the countries they're emulating. The group boggles at a piece of land under "Argentina" before declaring it to be the Falklands. Alice immediately imagines herself [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falklands_War fistfighting a man from Argentina]] for the sole property title on the island.
** Alice and Liam lose it over a LongList of features again, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PW6lg-7L7yk&t=62m15s this time over the ridiculous malls that are being built in the Gulf States]]. At one point Liam sees a bunch of human-shaped statues and assumes they're immigrant labourers forced to hang off tether ropes in full-body covering looking artistic (which the other hosts point out is a ''fair'' assumption to make), and then gets mad after being corrected because after the level of decadence being shown, the proprietors of the mall somehow didn't take the next step and hire actual acrobats.

'''Alice:''' Yeah, you're no longer freezing.\\

'''Alice:''' "Comrade Lieutenant has solved ''two'' of our problems at once, by setting himself on fire!"\\

** Shortly after talking about knowing where the fire exits are, Alice's fire alarm goes off. A caption is printed on the screen: "not a bit this actually happened".
--->'''Alice:''' Well I know where all of my exits are.

'''Alice: ''' "Yo, all my losses was lessons!"\\

** Liam cheering on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Philadelphia_v._New_Jersey City of Philadelphia v. New Jersey]] like it's a sports match, complete with Alice playing the "go Birds" audio clip.

*** Justin getting upset about Alice giving actual, sincere insights on a joke episode.

** Alice describing the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamillo_Bridge Puente del Alamillo]] as a [[FreudWasRight "penis harp"]]

--->'''Alice:''' I was gonna say, I wonder what that turret is off of.

--->'''Alice:''' ''[Bursts into laughter]''

** The opening with both Alice and Liam being sober and in a bad mood, leading to Liam being repeatedly censored over potentially actionable content including offering to fist-fight the listeners.

** Liam and Alice's disbelief upon learning the mastermind behind the event was apparently named W.G. Crush.

** The "Safety Third" segment, where a malfunctioning unmanned ground vehicle apparently almost exploded inside a V-22 Osprey by pure accident. Alice believes the robot was secretly [[Film/ShortCircuit Johnny Number Five]].

** Alice forgets where the "shake hands with danger" sound drop is...and activates one where the quality worsens every time it's pressed.

** Since Alice is out sick, Justin and Liam have to improvise their own sound drops...poorly.

---> '''Alice:''' [groan] Haven't we suffered enough?\\

** Alice and guest Victoria Scott mock the shit out of the Lockheed L-2000's cockpit:
--->'''Alice''': They have answered the problem for any supersonic airliner, which is "How do you see out of the front of it?", with "You don't", which I appreciate a lot. Press your head out the side and look.\\

'''Alice''': You like hold up the flight engineer's belt loops, and you get him to climb out of the sun roof.

** Alice describing a sign advertising a watch and jewellery store as a "please rob this place specifically" sign.

-->'''Alice:''' [urban planning] is like Jazz. It's about the buildings you ''don't'' build.
** The podcast devolves into leftist infighting between the communist wing (Justin and Alice) and the anarchist wing (Liam), which leads to Liam threatening to make a bonus episode about the failure of Communism and Alice drowning him out with the Soviet national anthem.

** Almost ''two hours'' into the podcast, Adam suddenly wonders why Liam has been silent for most of the episode. [[TheReveal Liam then reveals]] he'd accidentally muted his microphone sometime during the first twenty minutes and didn't notice; he'd spent the last ninety minutes cracking jokes and wondering why Alice kept talking over him. At this point Justin suggests they use Liam's recorded track as DVDCommentary for the episode, while Liam insists on making up for lost time through HostileShowTakeover and Alice drowning him out with the "Shake Hands with Danger" jingle.

** Alice brings up an anecdote about OSS agents planting dummy bombs in the Munitions Building and Navy Building (the precursors to the Pentagon) as part as their training.
--->'''Alice:''' Apparently this was extremely easy to do, so...\\

'''Alice:''' Lead. Lead. Lead. Lead.\\

'''Alice:''' That steel they get off battleships.\\

'''Alice:''' Um, fuck, what's like good, cheap shielding? Like rubber or something?\\

** Due to Alice lacking sleep, the pod opens with Liam declaring that they're running on two and a half hosts today. Justin then admits he'd have made a ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'' joke but he wasn't sure it would come off as transphobic. Alice then declares she'll "transgend" real quick so the joke will work, leading to Liam saying she's glowing and lasers are shooting out of her head.

*** Alice jokes that this chart implies that if you get 6 extremely comfortable people together, that's equivalent to a Ranger. That also means the four of them (three hosts and one guest) are equal to 75% of a Ranger, so they would qualify for a tab saying "Rang".

'''Alice:''' Goddamnit! I was gonna do that shit, fucking goddamnit dude...oh God, uh, I am, uh, fucking, Malice...Coldskull...Skellington, and my pronouns are...\\

'''Alice:''' ...they're fucking "she" and "her", alright? I can't think of another like pronoun joke.\\

'''Alice:''' Shut the fuck up.\\

'''Alice and Justin:''' Boooooo.\\
'''Alice:''' It's not pronounced that way!\\

--->'''Alice:''' None of us are gonna try to do one, are we?\\

'''Alice:''' That was kinda too Cuomo. That was like Andrew Cuomo as a medium.\\

** Alice points out the building is basically like an aircraft carrier, but worse...including the fact that the biggest danger is ''drowning''.

** Alice's repeatedly chanting "cursed ship", and Liam’s repetition of “Cursed by its own hubris”.

'''Alice:''' [[BlackComedy It did by the end.]]

** There aren't a lot of pictures of the wreckage, so they have to settle with a picture of the airliner involved in the disaster. Alice points out that since the picture shows the plane intact, that means it ''is'' supposed to be like that, contrary to Justin's usual catchphrase of "It's not supposed to be like that"

** Alice suddenly starts parodying ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'' as she's reminding the listeners that this disaster happened on Christmas Eve.
--->'''Alice:''' "You there, boy, which pod is this?" ''[bad squeaky child voice]'' "Why, sir, it's Christmas Pod."
** Alice and Liam's reactions to Justin describing how SS ''Leopoldville'' kept bumping into HMS ''Brilliant'' due to rough seas:

'''Alice:''' Oh, fuck that!\\

'''Alice:''' Yeah, I signed up to be in a first-person shooter, not a fucking platformer.

** Everything about the poem Alice reads at the end, "The Tay Bridge Disaster". The awkward rhythm, the sudden shift in rhyme scheme...it's truly SoBadItsGood and very deserving of its reputation as one of the worst English poems ever.

--->'''Alice''': The hostage taker here was a member of an intolerant minority that is an existential threat to the West. And I'm speaking here of course of him being British.

--->'''Alice''': "You too can drink a load of awful tequila, fall off a Mayan step pyramid, and find your soul being sacrificed to Chaac."

--->'''Alice''': Yeah, but they'll make them be nice in the Northern segment.

-->'''Alice:''' So I thought I begin with a question: What is "the caves"? And you see sort of an answer here; it is when there is a terrifying existential void, when there is a hole in the world that should not be.
** The entire crew very overtly dancing around referencing ''Manga/TheEnigmaOfAmigaraFault'' for the first half of the episode until Alice finally gives in, at which point Devon and Justin reveal they've been waiting to do it since slide one.
** Alice's slideshow on how a cave would gradually kill off all the members of the podcast, with episode guest Devon only escaping by dint of never going into the cave in the first place and Liam getting annoyed at Alice bringing up his ArchEnemy, the fish.
** Alice succeeding at turning the story of Floyd Collins from grade-A nightmare fuel into a hilarious BlackComedy of errors around the enormous amount of grifting and bizarre publicity surrounding the poor man trapped in a cave, ending with a thieves stealing Collins' body and abandoning it in a bush by a river.
** The running gag of an eldritch double returning from the caves with whoever goes in, culminating in Devon and Alice describing Podcast/KillJamesBond as being hosted by Devon in conjunction with [[WebVideo/PhilosophyTube "Abi and Cave Abi"]].

--->'''Alice''': Yeah, what if you just get your cycle infrastructure out of a book. You implement it. You do it and then you just, you know, then it's done.

--->'''Alice''': Yeah, it's called the Quran.

---->'''Alice''': ...This is just purely: Justin Trudeau is a gay communist who's going to inject me with the 5G, and I don't want to. Therefore I'm going to park my privately owned tractor trailer on the Ambassador Bridge.

'''Alice:''' Got those Vanderbilt genes, you know?\\

'''Alice:''' No, I mean, if you get attacked by a poorer person, the genetics just kick in. Before you know it, you're like beating them unconscious with a diamond-tipped cane.
** Jay mentions that chairman Robert Young suspended the dividend for the New York Central, an act considered so shameful that Young decided to kill himself. Justin and Alice chime in with some BlackComedy.

'''Alice:''' Yeah, [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant WASP]] seppuku. Yeah, yeah, yeah. \\

** Justin tries to come up an example delivery while explaining railroads in the northeastern US. Alice responds with a perfectly-timed drop.

'''Alice's Drop:''' [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E2122ShortFilmsAboutSpringfield Steamed hams!]]

** The hosts discussing how Charles Babbage's Differential Engine ended up putting a lot of industrial revolution-era children out of work by automating the machinery they were forced to operate, causing Alice to state [[Blog/{{Dril}} that it is impossible to say whether automation is a good or a bad thing]].

** Alice correcting Rocz's mention of the California Water Wars as the ''[[GallowsHumor First]]'' [[GallowsHumor California Water Wars]], complete with reverb.

** A discussion of microphone quality turns into Alice threatening to record the podcast using a vintage walkie-talkie, which she demonstrates with a voice filter. Justin then escalates by claiming to be transmitting his parts of the recording using "oral tradition".

--->'''Alice:''' The pronoun is ''dude.''

** Alice and Justin take some time discussing [[ManChild the various foibles of podcasters]] and comment that Liam, since he has an actual job, is the most normal one amongst them. Que the show's producer Devon [[HostileShowTakeover cutting themselves into the podcast and telling the hosts to shut up]].
** Alice decides to illustrate the result of flight 232's engine failure on the plane's fuselage with a simile from the art world -- Creator/FranciscoDeGoya's ''Art/SaturnDevouringHisSon''.

-->'''Alice:''' This is Berlin Brandenburg Airport Willy Brandt. As you see here, in the beautiful colours of grey, sky, and dead grass.

--->'''Alice:''' Hey, we got high-speed rail, sort of. Temporarily.

** The next God Damn News, which Alice described as "the real shit; the real substantial story" wiping off the previous story from the front page:
--->'''Alice:''' Chairman Xi has, y'know, committed an act of serious aggression by loosing an enormous balloon in which a six year old boy has become trapped.

--->'''Alice:''' ...I may have run two things together in my head.

--->'''Alice:''' Ah, so the fire alarm is very useful and efficient, because it is ''also a source of fire.''

** Alice makes sure to point out the pictured omelette is not one of the ones from the story and has been anonymized because it is blameless. Justin then points out that the baked good sitting on the tray looks like an AI blended a croissant and a bagel, which they dub a crabagel.

** Alice and Liam reacting to the name ''James E. Bussey'':

--->'''Alice:''' In your, like, Model T or Duesenberg or whatever.

--->'''Alice:''' He invented it, actually!
--->'''Liam:''' Please be respectful, Alice. That's ''Sir'' Bussey!

** Liam's mounting horror at how Alice has set up her computer culminating in an ear splitting scream
** Alice's DoubleEntendre-laden but nevertheless accurate description of what a diesel engine is:
--->'''Alice:''' It sucks, it squeezes, it bangs and it blows. That's what it is.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rczMAfAE44U Episode 147: SS Princess Alice Sinking]]
** Given the name of the ship in question, it should come as no surprise that the [=YouTube=] comments were ''immediately'' filled with joking tributes to Alice's supposed passing.
** Alice pointing out how naming a ship after a woman can come off as insulting, a point made a minute later when Justin starts listing the physical parameters of the ship.

-->'''Alice:''' ''*trying not to break down laughing*'' ''Every'' time I hear about you two living together...

** After several cheeky remarks about planes "transitioning" ("What kind of hormones do you need for that?"), Alice remarks that the cockpit of the Comet gives her unmistakable transgender vibes, though she's "not sure how". Devon gets in the perfect zinger.

** Jay mentions that chairman Robert Young suspended the dividend for the New York Central, an act considered so shameful that Young decided to kill himself. Justin and Alice chime with some BlackComedy.

--->''''Devon:''' ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS A SWITCH OUT OF NECESSITY

** The entire preview segment is funny in itself, because it tells the story of how the Peacock Room got its name, [[note]]The Peacock Room was painted between 1876-77 and, to no one's surprise, is named such because of the giant gold peacocks on the walls.[[/note]] and how it - at the time considered garish and offensively ugly - ruined the man who commissioned it, Frederick R. Leyland's ''marriage,'' complete with Leyland's now ex-wife leaving him ''for the painter,'' in the way only WTYP can deliver. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLRU2tAuIK0 It must be heard to be believed.]]
