"We twote" goddammit guys, I am so torn. On the one hand, that absolutely is the logical past tense. On the other hand, that sounds AWFUL for some reason.
Hey guys, you mentioned in the video that you wanted ideas of things to film in Canada. One such thing that may work would be making a video on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa, a 200km canal built in 1832 to connect the Ottawa River to Lake Ontario. The canal also has an incredibly old but still functioning system of locks to boat to higher elevation. It's a UNESCO world heritage site and would is incredibly beautiful in the summer (where the public can use them). 2017 is also the 150th anniversary of Canada, so that would be a fun time! p.s. also in the winter the canal becomes the worlds largest skating rink Cheers from Ottawa!

You guys should try Pizza in Sweden. Since we are so far removed from Italy and so many of our Pizzerias are run by whomever with no relation to Italian cuisine we get some of the most interesting Pizzas in the world. if you think "banana on a pizza, how odd" then you have seen nothing yet.
Pizza with tuna, kebab and garlic sauce. 😋 Actually much tastier than it sounds. Or a pizza saucer (fold the pizza in on itself so it's a fully enclosed pizza) with kebab, french fries and salad inside. Disgusting thing, the salad actually becomes slimy.
why do all the youtube channels I follow slowly relate to eachother. It's been narrowed down to about 4-5 degrees of separation but didn't start that way.
"You can't go somewhere with no planning." When I lived in Austria, a friend and I got the train to Vienna. We got off the train and were like "Well now what?".
You're aware that the path of totality passes within 50 miles of Yellowstone National Park? You can't think of anything you might be able to talk about on top of a supervolcano?
Supermarkets tend to keep sock styles for years. So stock up on a drawer full of one type, and buy a n extra pair every so often when you are shopping. Then you just chuck out odd ones and don't worry about keeping pairs. Granted, they fade over time, but you can usually find roughly matching ones.
I'm the same way with socks. I toss individual socks out when they get holes and then when my remaining supply gets below a critical threshold I throw the rest out and buy about 15 identical pairs. It ensures I always have good socks and simplifies laundry day since I don't have to worry about sorting them into pairs.

13:31 I just assumed you were sitting on a park bench until you said you were sitting cross legged. That said, it also cleared up how you could fearlessly throw away your phone before XD.
Talking about games, idk where you'd put this but I'd love to see the both of you play "we were here". It's a free game on steam you can finish in less than a hour and it's a bit like "keep talking and no one explodes" but you're both in the game. I'd love to see Matt explain some of the puzzles in his roundabouty way. Probably never happen but thought I'd put it forward :)
So, if you happen to ever redo "2 Drums and a Cymbal," please make sure you do the introduction the same way, inflection and all. It's bloody brilliant and cracks me up.
FYI, you are absolutely spot on with Wyoming. 5% really cool stuff, 95% absolutely flipping nothing. If you do go, find a rental car with adaptive cruise control that keeps you in your lane.
Something in Canada? My hometown has the world's only remaining Tribal class destroyer, the HMCS Haida. We also have an aircraft museum with the only other flyable Lancaster bomber (the other is in the UK). How's that for interesting stuff in Canada?
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.
Oh my God. I didn't even register that it was y'all that did the drums and cymbals cliff thing! I literally watched it years ago, and even showed it to someone recently.
I have started knitting socks. I need to knit more, because I am rather unwilling to wear any non-wool socks now. But - if you don't count the time spent knitting - they come out fairly cheap that way.
Can confirm: robots take *hours* to build, but aren’t actually too difficult, batteries can asplode verrrrry quickly, and you guys should come to a live event some time 👍🏼
If you are looking for stuff on the Western end of Canada, I have a few ideas: - West Edmonton Mall: One of the largest malls in the world, if memory serves it is only outdone by one in China. It has multiple indoor theme parks, including a mini-golf course, a roller-coaster, and a water-park. - The Royal Tyrrell Museum: One of the most extensive paleontology museums in the world, and the largest collection in the Americas. Also has a fair bit of history what with it being the primary benefactor of the dinosaur wars. - The abandoned Calgary subway system: When Calgary was getting its public train system it was originally intended to be an underground rail system. But after the tunnels were all dug, the Mayor decided to scrap the project and build an above ground rail system because it would be cheaper. While the tunnels are closed to the public, it is still possible to get down there if you know somebody at city hall. - Chinooks: Chinooks are a weather phenomenon, local to Calgary. Its a native word that means "snow-eater". While the weather phenomenon itself isn't unique to Calgary (other places call it an El Niño), the effect it has on local Calgary weather is. It pushes away the clouds in winter resulting in half the sky being completely clear while the other half is solid clouds as far as the eye can see.

Years ago I did more than 10 minutes of barrel scraping - while working at the Lush handmade cosmetics factory. ... Actually scraping a hair conditioner out of the barrel it was handmade in.
I wasn't drunk, because I was like three, if that, but I did catch a Canada goose one time. My family was at the park feeding geese, and I noticed one goose was very preoccupied with its meal, so I sneaked up behind it, and then jumped on its back and grabbed its neck and proceeded to ride that poor goose. That goose was flapping around, squawking 7500 (aviary and aviation humour all in one), and trying to crane its neck around at me to bite me. :D
For focusing on one's own face from a tripod, you can pan the camera around once you've focused on something, so it doesn't have to be *where* you are, just the same distance from the lens. So, a tree offscreen, the edge of a door, etc.

Fried eggs for me: I *never* flip them. But I use enough oil that I can splash some on the yolk right before it's fully done, and cook a thin smooth "skin" on it (leaving the inside liquid).

My problem isn't people using PHP and JavaScript for projects, I do have a problem with people recomending them for beginners as Python, Kotlin, and Julia all exist and are actually beginner friendly languages. So much so that the default install of python ships with an IDLE instead of an IDE and that extra L stands for learning. If you want to get started programming then learning python is a better start, I'm fond of Kotlin as its very similar to Python in basic syntax but has the compatability and abilities of Java, and Julia is great if you are trying to do complex maths because its almost as simple as python but is faster so it can compute large datasets in significantly less time
Shoutout to that one question! C# is great :> Maybe not perfect for all things ever, but for businesses and personal projects and general non-engineering , it's waay up there
*Thank* you for those comments on PHP and JavaScript. The number of times I've had the "but why don't you use a proper language like..." (stupid thing that requires special servers, environments, whatever) with someone whose experience with programming is either purely academic or involves some gigantic, slow company with a six-week change control process... Sometimes you just want to quickly shuffle the numbers from 1 to 10. Why would anyone use Java or Ruby for that?
I'll have you know, Canada has the worlds longest bridge over frozen waters called the Confederation Bridge. We are also celebrating 150 years of being a country this year so it's a good year to come to Canada
Confederation Bridge is a good one. Nice segment showing off the bridge construction on the PEI side. (The side which you have to pay to leave...) And if you do the bridge, then you may as well head down and check out the Bay of Fundy and the world's highest tides. (Strongly suggest making a day or two of that just to experience the whole cycle, and give yourself time to setup shots.) There is a salt marsh in the area near there as well that was a CBC world broadcasting location that could make an interesting topic. Over in Nova Scotia there is a site of a new commercial rocket launch pad planned. May as well do something on Anne of Green Gables. Possibly how much some people in the region hate the character. (And how multiple movies/shows about it were made, and filmed elsewhere in Canada after they trucked the red soil in to pretend it was PEI...) Halifax and the Halifax Explosion. Coal mining and mining disasters. Seaweed pie?
Not to mention the intense burger competition going on for the month of April on pei, the freaking wind farm that powers half the island, and our ability to produce enough potatoes to feed Canada
Okay, I would totally chip in some cash next year if it meant Matt and Tom showed up and tried to do all of the burgers... I would probably also start to feel bad if they made it even half way through the list, but would still be fun to see the kind of video they made of the whole thing.
If you liked "The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August", you should look at Claire North's other books. "The Sudden Appearance of Hope" is also really good! And a new book just came out this month which I am currently reading ("The End of the Day").
"I've only done the east coast", only been to Toronto and Ottawa... Folks from the maritimes are going "do you understand what the word 'coast' means?"

Gatwick also has a brilliant family and disabled security- a decent sized, but not huge room (actual walls stop toddlers getting too far) which had 3 other people going through when we did.
12:03 While studying computer science, someone once asked the professor what he thought of programming languages like PHP and JavaScript. He replied "Those aren't programming languages." "Well what are they then?", We asked. "A joke."
but Yellowstone is in Wyoming. that could make some great amazing places (not old faithful - because it's obvious but there are other great things around), just saying
In my defence it was quite a friendly goose, I don't think it minded too much.
Tim Jeffries Why, though? Why would you catch and hug a goose?
Nillie because you're drunk ;)
Wow I'm so relieved right now, I heard him say MOOSE. Keep up the good work Tim.
Well Nillie, the bigger question is why wouldn't you?
Because the goose is a stranger, and I don't like to hug strangers.

Shoutout to that one question! C# is great :> Maybe not perfect for all things ever, but for businesses and personal projects and general non-engineering , it's waay up there
They're not wrong though, new socks are the best.
I may have woken a neighbour with the volume of my "HA!" after Tom called Ottawa and Teranna the east "coast".
4:07 "Would you enter Robot Wars?"
Ask Colin Furze...
You laugh, but guess who now has an annual new sock day.
*Thank* you for those comments on PHP and JavaScript. The number of times I've had the "but why don't you use a proper language like..." (stupid thing that requires special servers, environments, whatever) with someone whose experience with programming is either purely academic or involves some gigantic, slow company with a six-week change control process...
Sometimes you just want to quickly shuffle the numbers from 1 to 10. Why would anyone use Java or Ruby for that?
Mad Elf x I'd use PHP to do that, but I'd feel dirty about it, knowing that I really should put together something elegant in Bash using coreutils.
"he likes the animals... I like children" probably not the quote you want to hear in a park.
Yer had te goo an' mek it weeired.
I'll have you know, Canada has the worlds longest bridge over frozen waters called the Confederation Bridge. We are also celebrating 150 years of being a country this year so it's a good year to come to Canada
Confederation Bridge is a good one. Nice segment showing off the bridge construction on the PEI side. (The side which you have to pay to leave...)
And if you do the bridge, then you may as well head down and check out the Bay of Fundy and the world's highest tides. (Strongly suggest making a day or two of that just to experience the whole cycle, and give yourself time to setup shots.)
There is a salt marsh in the area near there as well that was a CBC world broadcasting location that could make an interesting topic.
Over in Nova Scotia there is a site of a new commercial rocket launch pad planned.
May as well do something on Anne of Green Gables. Possibly how much some people in the region hate the character. (And how multiple movies/shows about it were made, and filmed elsewhere in Canada after they trucked the red soil in to pretend it was PEI...)
Halifax and the Halifax Explosion.
Coal mining and mining disasters.
Seaweed pie?
Yeah so if you could come to atlantic canada and do a meetup, that'd be great :P
Not to mention the intense burger competition going on for the month of April on pei, the freaking wind farm that powers half the island, and our ability to produce enough potatoes to feed Canada
Okay, I would totally chip in some cash next year if it meant Matt and Tom showed up and tried to do all of the burgers... I would probably also start to feel bad if they made it even half way through the list, but would still be fun to see the kind of video they made of the whole thing.
R.J. Arsenault is that the one that was out a year or so ago separating Canada in two parts?
18:03 - I thought you were going to break out into song, Louis Armstrong-style. Did you belch?
If you liked "The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August", you should look at Claire North's other books. "The Sudden Appearance of Hope" is also really good! And a new book just came out this month which I am currently reading ("The End of the Day").
Tom Scott liking (and quoting) Neil Cicieriga proves we're in the good timeline
I live in Wyoming, and I can verify that everywhere is a ten hour drive. And I wyomed yesterday, thank you very much.
Can you stop wyoming up to Montana please thanks
Scomm Tott knows Ceil Nicierega and that makes me feel good inside.
"I've only done the east coast", only been to Toronto and Ottawa... Folks from the maritimes are going "do you understand what the word 'coast' means?"
Wait, how do you end up giving away personal information by answering what car you drive?
MicroBlogganism Probably by giving too much detail and going off on a tangent.
If he accidently gave away enough information to track the car. (Such as a tangent about where he bought it, when exactly he bought it, or possibly a funny story about how the license plate he wanted was taken).
Gatwick also has a brilliant family and disabled security- a decent sized, but not huge room (actual walls stop toddlers getting too far) which had 3 other people going through when we did.
12:03 While studying computer science, someone once asked the professor what he thought of programming languages like PHP and JavaScript. He replied "Those aren't programming languages." "Well what are they then?", We asked. "A joke."
15:90 "Hello, computer."
"Just use the keyboard."
"Keyboard. How quaint."
Matt & Tom's Park Bench, AKA the nonstop spoiler shielding show! It seems as if it happens every episode...
Never change, you two.
Please do a music recommendations video Matt!
but Yellowstone is in Wyoming. that could make some great amazing places (not old faithful - because it's obvious but there are other great things around), just saying
