![]() He also has "I was about to say." when agreeing with someone else's crazy idea. Notably, "It's not supposed to be like that" when introducing the episode, or "This is true" in response to some insightful insight from his cohosts. Brick Joke: Episode 34 features an altered final slide, implying that the unidentifed Gladio operative responsible for the Bologna train station bombing was also responsible for the Tacoma Narrows Bridge disaster.Breather Episode: The hosts like to throw in one of these, usually about a poorly-designed system or at least an accident with no fatalities, after a particularly dark one, for instance following Lac-Magentic with Three Mile Island and following Grenfell Tower with the Newfoundland railway.The ad for the podcast within the podcast also includes "Guns, pickup trucks, and pickup trucks with guns on them.".Episode 097, when discussing what was made in Turin: shrouds, Fiats, and shrouds for Fiats.Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: Episode 101 contained a discussion on the history of the abacus, with episode guest Abigail asking what things abacuses were commonly used to count large numbers of.Black Comedy: The parts of the show that isn't Vulgar Humor leans in this direction.For Liam (yet again), callousness towards the unhoused is a quick way to incur some bleeped actionable threats.Liam (again) is really quite vitriolic towards the Dutch as a nation, at least in part because they lost to Spain in the World Cup, a game he had placed money on.Liam also states in episode 19 that he has no respect for fish and despises everything about their existence.The show doesn't so much 'turn political' as 'occasionally forgetting to be when going into engineering detail'. Author Tract: Half the point of the show, being a fusion of engineering history and leftist historical and material analysis (cushioned in a lot of jokes). ![]() Author Appeal: The hosts are self-professed fans of trains and nuclear power.America Won World War II: Frequently invoked by Liam, usually towards Alice or any non-American guest.The Alleged Car: Liam's van, which merited a bonus episode.Liam (on the Eschede derailment): As someone whose ancestors were killed on German cattle cars, how do you like it? All Germans Are Nazis: Liam in particular likes to invoke this trope.In the MS Estonia episode, Justin had drawn a course for the ship with a ridiculously squiggly line complete with an unnecessary loop as a joke, only for Alice to inform him that ship courses are surprisingly close to that in real life. Accidentally-Correct Writing: In-universe example.The show's thirteenth episode was labelled 'episode 12A', and the hosts have continued to make references to an episode 13 (covering the Tacoma Running Gag) that doesn't exist. 13 Is Unlucky: Discussed Trope as it pertains to engineers, with Justin noting that some constructions intentionally avoid using the number '13' for floor numbers, terminal numbers, etc.New episodes are released - roughly - weekly on the show's YouTube channel, with monthly episodes exclusive to Patreon backers. Originally a side-project of structural engineer Justin "Roz" Roczniak on his YouTube channel donoteat01 (which uses Cities: Skylines to showcase urban planning), the podcast features Justin, his former roommate and systems analyst Liam Anderson note "Yay, Liam!", pessimistic futurist Alice Caldwell-Kelly (educated in law and coal engineering, from the Trash Future podcast) and the 'Activate Windows' alert on Justin's PC (and sometimes Guest) as they pick apart, contextualize and make a lot of risque jokes about historical failures of engineering from a leftist perspective. Well There's Your Problem is an engineering/politics/dark comedy podcast that covers the background, events and fallout of engineering disasters throughout the ages, in particular what faults directly led to the disaster. The history of mankind is filled with its own history of faulty construction, engineering or planning that ends up costing human lives and requiring updates (or outright creation) of safety codes due to bad design, cost-cutting or failsafes going horribly wrong.
