0:38:52 One of my favorite ongoing bits is when Nova or Liam say something outlandish to be funny and Justin has to go "No, that happened actually!" and there's an immediate uproar.

I am saying this primarily from half memories, so take this with a pinch of salt. Palm oil isn't exactly evil, it is our old foe capitalism. On its own, it is a really good oil for multiple applications, and more importantly, it has the highest yield of vegetable oils by a fat margin. Meaning, if you were to replace it with another vegetable oil, you'd need even more land for the same output. The problem is that in seeking to maximize profits, le old capitalist bastards abuse places with lower capacity (for a reason or another) to stop immoral practices. They will mow down native forests to make room for palm monocultures with no environmental impact studies or care whatsoever. The highest yield isn't enough for their greedy asses, they are still tring to cut costs short term costs (the only timeframe capitalists actually care or even comprehend) at every corner. And this being a tropical plant, we know exactly which parts of the world they go for to pull their bs, and that opens a whole box of cans of worms I don't wanna go on about now. Honestly an interesting topic, and probably worth of an episode. Let's just say the engineering of the entire palm industry is an absolute disaster, and entirely due to capitalist greee
Palm oil become even more disastrous when oil lobbyist started pushing agenda "hey we can consume as much oil as we want if we make it from crops, it is definitely renewable trust me bro".Hemp might yield even more products per hectare, simply because the whole plant have lot of useful properties (seeds for food, fiber, woodstock for wood alternatives or paper) and it good climate you can get 2 harvests per year.
My wife grew up on a palm oil plantation -- you are basically correct. It's an environmentally friendly oil, but its agricultural profile has opened up virgin forests to capitalist mafias. But then once the forests are gone they are gone. If you buy, like, canola oil instead you're doing much more damage on the simplest math of carbon required to produce oil, and people probably burn forests for canola oil too. You could hypothetically calculate how many mafias you enrich and megadeaths you cause with each oil and the health impacts of each, but you know what? The healthiest oil, olive oil, is affected by farms being actively burned by Zionist terrorists and that is TERRIBLE for climate change. Either buy Palestinian olive oil, or just buy whatever you see at the store.
@@yrobtsvt Canada produces the most canola oil annually of any country in the world. It's grown on the prairies, which has other environmental impacts, but at least it's not based on deforestation. The potentially lowest impact fat for consumption, at least in temperate areas, is animal fats from regionally appropriate animals grazing on wild pasture, but that's not profitable enough.
I think my favorite bit has to be whenever Justin explains such and such terrible system, November then extrapolates some novel form of corruption and/or terrifying new form of failure, only for Justin to go "We'll get to that part in a minute."
Also, Nova is wrong, the vomit bowl for the children should actually be a rinsed out kitty litter pail, an old Home Depot bucket, those little white plastic Ikea garbage bins, etc. Should have high walls for splash containment, be lightweight for the child using it, and never risk having a guest or useless father accidentally think it could potentially be a food container.

The main reason that the vandalism / petty property destruction activism has become so common (Or seemingly common) is because, according to lifelong activists that I have read interviews with, it is wildly more effective in popularizing and recruiting for their causes than any other form of activism is. Just one of these acts picks up tens or hundreds of millions of eyeballs, and even if 95% of those eyeballs are critical of it that still means multiple millions in support who quite possible weren't seeing it before. It's a very very strong numbers game, especially considering that those critical of these acts don't remember them the next week. Nobody is gonna fucking remember this incident in 2026. But you can expect 10,000+ freshly minted activists as a direct result of it.

New WTYP right before I leave in a 2 hour drive? The old ones have smiled upon me. Also every one needs to check out November’s guest spot on the Failure to Launch podcast. It’s a fun caper about the CIA and the Soviet space program.
There should be some kind of delivery requirement. Like, I'm okay with someone who wants a truckload of hog bellies delivered to her hog belly hoard in December engaging in a bit of speculation as to exactly when she wants to lock in the price and pay for her future hog-belly delivery. It just gets perverse and scammy when it's people who have never had any intention of hog-bellying for real.
Palm oil isn't inherently evil. It has by far the highest yields per acre so you'd have destroy even more rain forest if you were planting anything else for the same yield. The problem of course is the incentive to burn down rain forest in the first place but I'm not sure that's the oil palms fault.
Get Babaçu palm oil, they have their own endemic biome, the palms are mostly used for the extraction of Heart of Palm but all parts of the plant are used leaving very little to waste, plus the plants don't live very long so if they're not harvested they'll just die after pollination anyway, it's also mostly a small, artesanal cooperative level extraction and the Babaçus can't expand their territory because they're cornered on south side by the mangroves, the west side by Brazil's semi-arid, east side by the sea and North side by the Amazon (there's a geological barrier, soil composition, preventing the Babaçus from encroaching on the Amazon), so they're basically SCP style contained to a single region.
November: **talking about denying/not believing in climate change's consequences to be able to cope and go to work in the morning** Me: "Ah yes, that's why I'm feeling this existential dread whenever I get left alone with my thoughts, so I will skip this video forward so I can consume my emotional support content(tm)"
On the other hand, at a certain point in life I think it's good to take stock of yourself and look for a couple of things you have never done and just keep not doing them. I have never, as an adult, worn a hoodie. (I think I had one when I was like 12?) Here in Seattle, that's weird, and I like to keep it weird.
I grew up in a regional town in Australia where many of the farmers switched from wheat to r**e/canola as it's was worth more per hectare. The crop sticks, it stinks real bad. So IMHO it is a crop that makes people miserable due to the fact that people don't want to be near it.
I'm of the opinion that you're not vomiting anything that can't be cleaned and sanitized. I think people get too paranoid about "icky" things that just aren't actually unsafe.
Yeah, real talk: first, it's food. The only things coming out of your stomach are the things you put in there, so try to only eat food grade substances, don't lick the nude angry men at the nuke plant (until after they shower), and it'll be fine. Second, it's practically self-sanitizing, because the main non-food thing in vomit is stomach acid. Wash it up pretty good and it's fine. You're probably at more risk from things that have touched your filthy hands than things that have touched your nice clean vomit.
What did we learn? I was going to say they dont make fun ones like this where 'shrewd businessmen' are lazy and/or stupid enough to fall for your claims of having extremely obviously physically and logistically impossible amounts of simple and easily checked product anymore. Then I rembered the PPE procurement process
Vomit bowls are weird. If I need to vomit on the couch, I use a cleaning bucket. I either clean it with nonfoodsafe chemicals, or I decide it's an outside bucket
We always used a bucket for our under-the-sink vomit container. A bowl? That sounds messy, easily spilled! Also re: cereal… Small bowls, or like those wide coffee mugs even, is how you do it, not a giant bowl. You sit there with the box and the milk, and you keep refilling it. This way you can eat a ton without it going all soggy and gross.
Tino seems to have a real 'Dick Dastardly stops to cheat' vibe (yeah, I'm a troper, sue me). It sounds as if he felt the compulsive need to commit elaborately clever crimes regardless of whether they will pat out or not.
November, groing up in a zcold country isn't even a requirement to have low tolerance for warm weather. I grew up in south east Brazil, proper tropical...

They are saying everyone there is talking about #TinosAboveBoardOilBusiness".
One thing that gets me about this whole story is that while it's somewhat expected that it took the government a LONG time to start paying attention, apparently the mob didn't notice this extremely lucrative racket operating under their noses either. You'd think that'd be exactly the thing they'd sniff out and muscle in on in a heartbeat.

@@rin_reverie That’s reassuring to hear. Thank you!
Oh my god, why didn't we use a bucket.
We have Mr. Coffee and he is perfect. Black coffee over any tea that could be made.
I use a small waste paper trashcan.
Salad Cream is so egregiously terrible it got a shoutout with an added footnote in Good Omens.
It sounds like Miracle Whip.
@@LeCharles07 Wait, Miracle Whip is savoury? I always assumed it was a sweet thing, for putting on cakes and stuff (I'm not from the US).
@@refitdan That would be Cool Whip.
@@refitdan It has sugar in it but it's a sandwich spread. It was created during the depression as a cheaper alternative to mayo that could also be sold as a salad dressing. You either love or hate it (i hate it).
@@mgkleym I mean I hate both Mayo and Miracle Whip, but at least Mayo can be made into ranch or other dressing varieties.

It’s a shame we can’t get any more Salad Oil because of woke
They replaced all the salad oil with gender fluid.
Electric salads may be cleaner and safer, but I'm terrified of being called gay
@@BarackLesnar Same, my boyfriend and I agree that it’s only gay if the tomatoes touch. Electric Salads always give me range anxiety, what if I want a salad in the middle of nowhere?
You could have a Shake Hands With Danger section, where it just takes pictures and tags them and sends them both to the podcast and the local OSHA equivalent
i think it has a great idea there

People forget that stonehenge was rebuilt in the 60's and the stones are set in place by concrete, it's hardly untouched.
I feel like they should have at least put them up straight if they were gonna set them in concrete.
yes, Stonehenge is basically a stone-age themed Disneyland... after what they did to it from the antiquarians of the 19th century, to more modern new-agers, I have very little feeling for it as a historic or spiritual place...
No no, you don’t understand! Rocks are symbolic! 😩
@@magesalmanac6424 they are...
but as a Druidic sight, Stonehenge is already also thoroughly changed and desecrater in my opinion
Were there druids today, they would make the henge completely out of concrete. Like those ugly 21th century concrete churches.
I can't wait for the remake of 12 Angry Men based on this episode's safety third!
Featuring Liam as "Man Upset His Shoes Must Be Confiscated" with the brilliant line:
"Fine, you can take the steel toes, but at least let me keep the orthotics. I just got them! We only get one pair covered every 5 years... you have any idea how expensive those are!?"
I love the Virgin (olive oil) Mary picture sitting next to the greasiest salad oil magnate picture in history. He looked like he was dipped in the stuff.
Busy packing to move because my landlord wants to increase my rent 29% to stay in my apartment a second year, which makes this episode drop ALAB praxis. Thanks gang B)

Also every one needs to check out November’s guest spot on the Failure to Launch podcast. It’s a fun caper about the CIA and the Soviet space program.

It's a shame we never got an opportunity to elect Tino president.
In other news, a New York City businessmen was found guilty of 34 felonies
Rule 34 about those 34 felonies, though?

Routine nuclear reactor maintainance to orgy pipeline is probably one of the better pipelines out there.
Economics should be outlawed. Nobody should be doing anything with money.
"Leave this dark art to it's practitioners."
No, actually futures trading should be very heavily regulated. The practitioners should be stopped too.
There should be some kind of delivery requirement. Like, I'm okay with someone who wants a truckload of hog bellies delivered to her hog belly hoard in December engaging in a bit of speculation as to exactly when she wants to lock in the price and pay for her future hog-belly delivery. It just gets perverse and scammy when it's people who have never had any intention of hog-bellying for real.

Palm oil isn't inherently evil. It has by far the highest yields per acre so you'd have destroy even more rain forest if you were planting anything else for the same yield. The problem of course is the incentive to burn down rain forest in the first place but I'm not sure that's the oil palms fault.
Get Babaçu palm oil, they have their own endemic biome, the palms are mostly used for the extraction of Heart of Palm but all parts of the plant are used leaving very little to waste, plus the plants don't live very long so if they're not harvested they'll just die after pollination anyway, it's also mostly a small, artesanal cooperative level extraction and the Babaçus can't expand their territory because they're cornered on south side by the mangroves, the west side by Brazil's semi-arid, east side by the sea and North side by the Amazon (there's a geological barrier, soil composition, preventing the Babaçus from encroaching on the Amazon), so they're basically SCP style contained to a single region.
"Mind Palace Salad Oil" was the name of my band in college.
November: **talking about denying/not believing in climate change's consequences to be able to cope and go to work in the morning**

Hey nova, i learned to ride a bike at 19. There is no shame in learning to do it later.
There's a Taskmaster clip of Victoria Coren-Mitchell learning how to ride a bike right before a task
On the other hand, at a certain point in life I think it's good to take stock of yourself and look for a couple of things you have never done and just keep not doing them. I have never, as an adult, worn a hoodie. (I think I had one when I was like 12?) Here in Seattle, that's weird, and I like to keep it weird.
Tom Scott had a video on his Plus channel where he learnt to ride a bike. There's no shame in learning later.
59:08 are we really gonna ignore the “All Borgias are cats but all Medicis are dogs”
And Machiavellis are ferrets
Honestly, the cartoon franchise we all deserve
Salad cream is a tough sell by description alone.
Yeah, I almost threw up in my mouth when November said "salad cream". And I get the creepy crawlies typing it out.
Comedians are up there with trash handlers and plumbers. That's a necessary social function you folks are performing. Thank you for your service.
I grew up in a regional town in Australia where many of the farmers switched from wheat to r**e/canola as it's was worth more per hectare.
The crop sticks, it stinks real bad. So IMHO it is a crop that makes people miserable due to the fact that people don't want to be near it.
I am here as always for the inclusive representation of the Activate Windows logo, the glue that holds this podcast together.
Our "vomit bowl" was a plastic wastebin, if we couldn't get out of bed.
Yeah i'm surprised more people haven't been using basic ass trash cans
Last time I was this early, the next episode was the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
I'm of the opinion that you're not vomiting anything that can't be cleaned and sanitized. I think people get too paranoid about "icky" things that just aren't actually unsafe.
Yeah, real talk: first, it's food. The only things coming out of your stomach are the things you put in there, so try to only eat food grade substances, don't lick the nude angry men at the nuke plant (until after they shower), and it'll be fine. Second, it's practically self-sanitizing, because the main non-food thing in vomit is stomach acid. Wash it up pretty good and it's fine.
You're probably at more risk from things that have touched your filthy hands than things that have touched your nice clean vomit.
This. Anything you are going to throw up is a. water soluble and b. belongs in you gut.
What did we learn? I was going to say they dont make fun ones like this where 'shrewd businessmen' are lazy and/or stupid enough to fall for your claims of having extremely obviously physically and logistically impossible amounts of simple and easily checked product anymore. Then I rembered the PPE procurement process
Vomit bowls are weird. If I need to vomit on the couch, I use a cleaning bucket. I either clean it with nonfoodsafe chemicals, or I decide it's an outside bucket
I call it Consent Seed Oil

I love you all but plllleeeease go back to having a person do your subtitles. It made such a big difference.
This! I miss Anna's captions, they were so nice
Those subtitles were amazing. I check for them every time.
Also bring back the hit marker drop for Devon's footnotes
We always used a bucket for our under-the-sink vomit container. A bowl? That sounds messy, easily spilled!
Also re: cereal…
Small bowls, or like those wide coffee mugs even, is how you do it, not a giant bowl.
You sit there with the box and the milk, and you keep refilling it. This way you can eat a ton without it going all soggy and gross.
Tino seems to have a real 'Dick Dastardly stops to cheat' vibe (yeah, I'm a troper, sue me). It sounds as if he felt the compulsive need to commit elaborately clever crimes regardless of whether they will pat out or not.
Devon, I am so sorry you have been branded an "Influencer." May God have mercy upon your accountant's soul.

Thanks folks.
Scrapping the SS United States seems like a metaphor, but for what, I'm not entirely certain...

Bingo!
November, groing up in a zcold country isn't even a requirement to have low tolerance for warm weather. I grew up in south east Brazil, proper tropical... Can't barely stand temperatures over 20C, +25C outright makes me feel physically exhausted and substantially more depressive, and it gets much worse fast after that.
My cousin and I can't stand too hot or too much sun and call it reverse SADD
@@jaysea5939 Summer SAD is less common (or at least less reported, I smell bias reporting though), but also a real thing. Pretty much same for me with the bonus of arctic winters feeling great, borderline an allergy to warmness, and I do also occasionally humorously call it reverse SAD too haha.
"Speaking of made hole" Best joke in the whole episode
52:23 My problem with Trading Places is the fact that it is directed by the alleged murderer John Landis less than a year after the Twilight Zone crash. The fact that he got to keep his career of that shameful, reckless mismanagement of a set is astounding.
American express has processing fees so high, that they outstrip the profit margin of most retail store!
In Canada at least...
Thank you nova for reminding me I'm not alone in extremely low tolerance for heat
Thank you for being my real life friend, Devon. The commentary at the top of my field of vision is always excellent.
Veggie oil episode, remember to not dispose of used cooking oils into the sink
Unless you're renting, and especially if your landlord is negligent.
@@Groovewonder2 that messes up more than just your pipes. Don’t do it regardless, it’s bad for the waste treatment system.
@@Groovewonder2 No. If you're renting then just store it all in 5 gallon buckets. Save some for the landlord to enjoy.

the heat where I am from is kinda weird, I'm from Tucson where it regularly gets into the hundreds which is tolerable when it is dry, but there's a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico which is making everything insanely humid with the same temperatures
fellow Tucson-dweller here, can confirm. humidity absolutely sucks, it adds like 20 degrees. this week is reminding me why i hate living anywhere that's not arid
@@grantus_paxat least it's pretty
As a Brazilian I feel that, during the summer we had a week over 55°C with 85% humidity, absolute hell
And now the winter's being weird again with some weeks being 45°C and others being 15°C
at 6:51, Rocz, just letting you know, you can also get the habañero mayo at Loco Pez if you order the waffle fries!
"I'm on the phone with Itunes CEO right now telling them to open up more soybean oil barrels.

One thing that gets me about this whole story is that while it's somewhat expected that it took the government a LONG time to start paying attention, apparently the mob didn't notice this extremely lucrative racket operating under their noses either. You'd think that'd be exactly the thing they'd sniff out and muscle in on in a heartbeat.
2:06:10 idk if someone waved a geiger counter around me and said "you're pretty hot, I'm gonna have to confiscate your clothes" that might actually work.

When you think of issues in a nuclear power plant you imagine lots of shouting in a control room with intense music playing and instead its just a bunch of grumpy workers sat in their underwear in front of a desk fan
Our vomit bowl was the big baking bowl. Once you were better you had to clean it until you were comfortable eating cookies mixed in it.
