Disaster Hour

Did the windows on zeppelins open or not?

In this one, Liv's dad/Ian's Uncle Joe returns for a good ol' fashioned discussion about The Hindenburg disaster. Who would've guessed that the inside of a zeppelin is comparable to a cruise ship? By the end of the episode, you'll be familiar with a "flying moor" and how the Nazi regime affected SpongeBob.

Also, Liv hates noisy aircrafts. Joe isn't a fan of actress Ally Sheedy. Ian learns where Lactaid is made.

Ian and Liv got hate mail for the first time!

In this new segment, Ian and Liv will read through negative reviews of Disaster Hour and give their own feedback of the review from an AngryFan. In their first AngryFans segment, the "human" reviewer was "so appalled."

Prepare to be 1 in 27.

In this episode, Ian and Liv talk about 8 different elevator accidents from the last 100 years or so. Ian and Liv also had been drinking for hours before the recording of this episode. Have fun getting on an elevator after listening to these horrific accidents.

Also, Ian gets really sweaty. Liv strongly dislikes C-3PO.

Rivers should flow, not ooze.

In this one, Ian and Liv are joined once again by Liv's sister/Ian's cousin Alexa once again to talk about the Cuyahoga River Fire, which took place in 1969. Like the name implies, the northeast Ohio river catches fire because it was so heavily polluted by local industry. Local politicians tried to address the pollution and clean up the ecosystem, but they had an extremely uphill battle ahead of them.

If your water tastes like medicine, probably best not to drink it.

Also, Liv struggles with basic sentence structure. Alexa makes plans to win an award. Ian goes on a failed beer run.

Human leadership has been compromised.

In this one, Ian and Liv reach the conclusion of their two-part series on Heaven's Gate, a religious cult which ended tragically in mass suicide in 1997. This one has it all: full page newspaper ads, computer start-ups, telescopes, comets, so what more could you ask for? Aliens? Unfortunately for Marshall, that's the ONE thing his "alien cult" doesn't have.

Also, Liv confirms that human leadership has indeed been compromised. Ian learns that cable TV still exists.

Double Also, dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. It's completely free to call. Check in on your friends!

Friends don't let friends join cults.

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a religious cult that began in the 1970s, "The Class," which barely survived for 20 years until the remaining 39 cult members, along with their leader, committed mass suicide in 1997. Eventually, this became cult became known as "Heaven's Gate," and has since become famous not only for their mass suicide, but the sheer absurdity of events that the cult leaders orchestrated during its span of two decades.

Spoiler Alert: The aliens don't arrive in Part 1.

Also, Liv gains self-confidence. Ian learns about the post office.

Just the tip.

In this one, Liv and Ian talk about a mudslide/landslide/avalanche that struck the town of Aberfan, Wales, in 1966. Among the victims were children in a school that was in the center of the mudslide's path.

Also, Ian discusses an alternate version of Shrek. Liv wants to go to Applebee's.

Y'all know the ocean is cold, right?

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about an oil rig that sank in the middle of the night during an intense storm. Rogue waves were involved. Did you know they're a real thing?

Also, Ian is delirious from working all day. Liv confirms that she only has one personality.

Part 2? It's time TWO sit down and listen.

In this one, Ian and Liv conclude their story on the Radium Girls in the second part of their first ever Two-Parter. What becomes of the Radium Girls? Does USRC get screwed in court? Was Marie Antoinette involved? Lots, yes, no.

Also, Liv is freaked out by the coyotes. Ian loves Erin Brockovich.

If it glows, it's probably dangerous.

In this one, Ian and Liv talk about the Radium Girls, five young women who filed a lawsuit against their employer for knowingly exposing them to a deadly radioactive chemical: Radium. And, as you can imagine, the corporate lawyers of the early 1900s would stop at nothing to prove their false innocence.

Also, Liv is ready for a suppository. Ian got a new keyboard.
