“Release a shark in Disneyland” The slight smirk Melissa had at that line was amazing
But in a giant hamster ball so it can swim around safely.
3:09
So, if I ask two Disney cast members to hug each other, they'll be trapped forever?
Ha, ha! Unless it's with Elsa...
They're married now. I don't make the rules
@@lateralcast It took me a second to understand it. Good one.
I love that Sabrina kept talking about things that can be EXCLUSIVELY done in the ocean. Despite being repeatedly told it was also on land.
My son is a hugger. He will gladly hug any random person for no real reason at all. This is especially true for Disney Princesses. We had to peel him off a few when we visited Disney. And no, they didn't let go until he did.
"Let it go, let me go, can't hug for much longer anymooooore 🎵"
I know the lateral UA-cam channel doesn't get the kind of views that Tom's other work does, but I'm so glad that the team have figured out the best format for this platform by having single question videos!
I'm actually curious if the podcast itself gets more views (listens?) than these outtakes. I personally prefer to have the shorter videos with the added visual from face cams.
if they didn't post so many videos on the youtube i'd listen to the podcasts. As it is now, it seems there's only like 1 or 2 questions per episode that don't make the cut, so trying to listen and skip through is a real pain.
@@JakeLaMtn There are 6 questions (along with a short bonus question) in every podcast episode. 3 are featured for the UA-cam channel.
I wish they continued with the full episodes. They did it at the start for the first (and maybe second) episode but stopped. It didn't get enough views and was too much effort to edit it.
@@ilyaholt8607these aren't outakes
I hope the thumbnail isn't a spoiler... edit: and it wasn't.
red herring!
Even after it was clear that it wasn't, I still found myself stuck on it conceptually.
Early thumbnails were on occasion spoilery, I am glad they were able to steer away from that. But now I guess they are spoilers, in that we can rely on the fact they are the wrong answer... 🤔
@@robertk1701 same here, I guess that i'm too used to the thumnails being a clue.
You spoiled the reveal of wether the thumbnail was a spoiler or nowt!
3:12 you can see Melissa’s reaction to the mention of Disney parks
I love how, unless you know the answer already, you have to rewatch to understand her smile there.
She could have really confused them by saying they were really close at that point, and they would have fixated on sharks in giant balls of water roaming around on land. :)
Melissa's facial expressions are the best part of this clip.
I'm expecting an update on face palm memes in the near future.
My favorite part was when Tom started mentioning cruise ships and Melissa was like “go on” and then when Sabrina jumped in with a Titanic reference Melissa just immediately dropped her head in disappointment
This was at 4:27 btw
The more i listen to this series, the more i find the guests are a big part of why this works. The questions are really good but the guests are better. Great concept by Tom and his crew. :D
This is not technically a rule. It’s a guideline but not a rule. Tom’s factoid at the end is real but also that happens with character performers on their training shifts. If you ever see a character next to a random wall or gate, they are having their first outing. They are near a door so they can escape quickly if something goes wrong
My guess was thrown out almost immediately, and I puzzled over it, but the answer makes perfect sense. Great one!
I would argue, that - in a sense - this is about security. The emotional security of the kids!
I love Answer in Progress so much
I haven't seen any of Sabrina's videos, but I love her attitude in these. I think I'm gonna check her out later.
This podcast / videocast is a great way to introduce youtubers to new audiences...
Taha being comedic relief in this one 😂
in the entire episode, really; from start to end he made the most of the show (but also he is the only one of the three who actively watches quiz shows ((he is the one who asked to be on the show)) so it would make sense)
Whoah i was just binging episodes because i only learned this podcast existed yesterday, and then this pops up right after I subscribe. Brilliant timing
i dont think its timing, its google knowing what you are interested in, and recommending that thing. even if you use nothing related to google, they know what you are doing in the internet
@@bj.a.j. that would be relevant if it were a recommended video, but this was in my sub feed uploaded 1 minute ago after I decided I was done binging, subbed and then went straight to sub feed.
Definitely one of my favourite questions in the podcast.
Really clever, everybody was really far from the answer, required a LOT of lateral thinking after the initial guesses.
I like how the shark zorbing comment actually was a pretty viable breadcrumb.
Aw what a cute answer! Melissa had the correct reaction lol, how adorable. Also cool to know about Goofy's!
I love you 4 together so much in this format. ^^
Abandonment issues from hugging Goofy's leg and Goofy letting go first... Call that.. Oofy.
I'll see myself out.
That's a great question. That's one of the best I've seen on lateral. I wasn't anywhere near the answer and the reveal was so satisfying. I'll be stealing this one for the pub.
I would love a boardgame version of these questions to play with friends. This is such a delight to watch but I wish I could participate
you guys are the best ❤
First instinct is professional hug-giver.
Oh snap I was right! I was thinking the "at sea" part was military though...
I thought it would be either the elastomastring or the game of Barrels, that Chris Joel used to play at South Yorkshire Scouts 😁
I hugged a random Pluto? once... GREAT hugger! I guess they WERE a professional hugger...
My guess was that it was about snake handlers and the rule where if one bites you, you have to wait for it to let go first before you do anything.
First thought was something like Search and Rescue operator. Don't let go of the person being rescued, but I'm sure this isn't it.
BRB - Off to Disneyland to hug Goofy for an awkwardly long time
I think I know this one because I've heard it before.
.
spoilers obviously
.
.
.
It's Disney characters when a kid wants a hug. You have no idea how much the kid might need the hug and reassurance so letting go first could be upsetting.
I really wanted to know that "rolling" gesture while listening
Now I know
That was *not* the gesture i expected for "rolling" omg
I know this one, it's Disney's cast members at Disneyland or Disney Cruises. When they hug kids, they are not allowed to let go of the hug unless the kid lets go first.
Does this rule apply to Elsa? I feel it shouldn't.
Is it moving on from old arguments my parents had decades ago?
Her face when Taha said Disneyland!
finally, a question that I already know the answer first 😂
I would never got this one in a million years. That's a great policy :D
Why is Tom Scott so handsome? Why is that the only thing on my mind while I'm watching this?
I actually totally already knew the answer, but it wasn't until after Taha's arm wrestling bit that it actually came back to me that I already knew it. That was a good question
Edit: Apparently everyone on the crew had about the same experience I did lol
2:00 Missile launch silos?
YESSSSS MORE ANSWER IN PROGRESS PLS
Why did I instantely start thinking about the rope thing on aircraft carrier that catches the plane, and then they also started thinking the same thing. It's not in any way related to question, how did that happen. I'm weirded out.
Have they ever not gotten one?
Unfortunately this is not true. It’s just an internet rumor. I even checked with a Cast Member today to make sure I’m not wrong. I still love Lateral, though!!!
I knew this one but loved the succession of absolutely insane ideas. 😂😂
That was a good one
Gosh dang :O
I knew this as soon as I heard the question and I'm kinda sad that I did.
The facepalm of melissa is hilarious when sabrina talks.
I was thinking trapeze act, but that's certainly a safety issue.
I thought it was when meeting royalty, you are briefed to let them control the handshake.
Olympic fact - Tug of war was an Olympic event several times
I knew this answer, so I'd have had to sit it out.
I knew the context right away but i didnt know the organization involved even though i think it was in my memory somewhere
Tom also once described a house as a people tank
It's so funny that the moment I read the title I went "Elsa, DUH"
QI did a fishtank... a tank that rolled around in whatever direction the fish swam.
Does it only apply to kids or can you deliberately make Goofy really uncomfortable by hugging him and not letting go.
that would be goofy indeed
My first thought was someone working with powerlines. You can't let go first due to arcing.
But that Succession episode does make sense now!
I think this is the first one that I would have had to sit out :D
So hug Goofy - for ages and ages!
The coach of two person parchut
After hearing "let go" so many times I kept think of the movie frozen, turns out that wasn’t that far off
Thought they spoiled it with the thumbnail... nope : )
Elsa!
Which Succession episode is Sabrina referring to?
The one where Roman is sent on management training at the parks maybe? Or when Greg is in the mascot suit in the first episode
Wasn't that what happened in _Antz,_ warning that one ant not to let go?
The bit about Goofy being execs makes sense of the time Goofy hit on my teenage sister at Disney World.
I thought it was tandem skydiving instructors for the longest time until the "it's not done in the air" part was said. That's probably also kind of true for them, but not for this question!
So in some odd way Taha was the closest, when he mentioned Sharks in bals being let loose in Disneyland.
“Is it drilling for oil? It has nothing to do with safety.” What?
Does it have anything to do with fish?
*NO!*
I nearly wet myself.
I was thinking about rodeo or something, but that wouldn't work at sea. Unless there are shark riding rodeo competitions which would be interesting.
my first guess was titanic reenactor
Initial thoughts: I went straight to nuclear weapon usage: trained occupation, specialised role, highly-limited locations, ... military commanders of ICBM sites and Air Force bases for land, and SSBN/SLBM for sea. And "letting go first" would mean "striking first with such weapons"; (well except that one time in Japan... long story...).
2:20 : Nothing to do with safety..., and no direct remarks on the military aspect... . It seems my nukes guess is astray.
As Geralt would say: "Hmmph..."
5:25 Don't start laughing, or break character, first in a performance group? Don't break improv or 4th wall. And the locations are the "stages" all over the world? But that feels way too vague and generic.
Results: Nice one there. It had me running wild.
Certain parks and a cruise line
oh no... now EVERYONE'S gonna hug those creepy suits and never let go...
What if the kid never lets go?
Land and sea implies anywhere at earth. If you point to a location on earth, it's either land or not land, also known as sea.
"...highly limited number of locations...
It is professional barnacles. They just can't let go first whether they are on rocks or whales.
That's sea-doo not ski-doo, water not snow.
I wish the thumbnail didn't implant a completely false idea in my head...
I’m gonna go up to Goofy and never let go
Spoilers:
I guess that this must still apply if you are just a random costumed mascot.
But the whole 'don't let go first thing' I have come across a costumed character that didn't do that. Ok 5 year old me did kind of accidentality knock it's head off...
I'm still terrified of mascots to this day.
If these are just highlights, where can I see the full episode?
You can only listen unfortunately. Link is in the description.
@@nero3700 hm, that's weird. If they're filming it fully, why not also upload it in full?
@@mst4705 Money, I suppose.
@@mst4705 Editing video is probably a lot more work than editing audio.
@@barneylaurance1865Just don't edit it :D Upload it raw :) But anyway, I'm happy with the highlights at least.
Spoiler alert!
I'm totally taking my future kids to Disney and challenging them who can hug Mickey the longest and be there for hours.
It’s not an actual rule, just a guideline for hugs.
trapeeze artists.... omg
nvm, wrong, but that would be interesting.
Cute? Comes across as super creepy to me.
3:11 It already exists for goldfish, with a camera system and a set of wheels. ^^
