Another huge thanks to Jay Foreman for joining us for this episode! If you'd like to see more of him, go check out his channel: ua-cam.com/users/jayforeman So... Who should we have on next time?
it also helps to have a camera team with you cus people might think youre on telly. but also if you write please it might make people laugh which will convince them even more that youre doing a telly and not just gonna rob them
Jay not accepting the money from the Manx couple unless he did some work for them and then writing them a poem is honestly the most Jay Foreman hack ever 😂😂😂😂😂
Jay: "I'll hitch-hike as far as I can." Reasonable, mundane, gets started quickly. Thomas: "I shall gather up some extra funds by selling my stuff on the streets to fans and then use that to get further." Good idea, might look into legality next time, takes a while for him to get going but eventually he's off on adventure. Eddie: "I'll just go door to door and see if anyone's got any jobs that I can start at instantly and get paid the same day. Or maybe gambling. I know, I'll scrounge up some extra money by 'picking up sponsors' and write their names on my shirt." Absolute Looney Tunes behavior.
I love that the first half of this boils down to Tom: Hehe, profit Eddie: Boy howdy, the job market these days sure is rough Guy who talks about maps and cartography for a living: Actually travels.
@@myratham3978 27:02 « Oui ? Vous pouvez nous aider ? Limoges, oui ! Merci ! » (He flubbed a bit on the « nous », which I think added to the unintelligibility.) 28:48 « C'est ça ! Euh, c'est très loin. Il faut que ce soit une surprise, c'est pour ça que c'est tout un secret. Lui, il sait-il sait où sont les autres deux [sic] ... »
Jay: Actually keeps to the spirit of the challenge and officially wins. Tom: Exploits his fame to make a bunch more money and would have cheated a win if the flight wasn't cancelled. Eddie: Tries to make money with zero plan and gets the funniest story.
I mean if Tom's flight wasn't canceled it would have been a legitimate win. Making more money from their starting money was literally something they were allowed to do. So the fact it was filmed separately on another day is what made it a cheated win.
@@pacmonster066 I mean…yeah, technically, but the challenge of seeing how far you can get on fifty pounds kinda gets ruined at that point, at least in my opinion. It's okay, I can be wrong.
@@Wandergirl108 Tom set the rules at the start of the challenge. Only using the 50 pounds and not a cent more was never a rule. That was their initial budget that they could increase. All 3 people ended up making more money than the original budget. Jay did the poem for the RV couple and music/caricatures in France. Eddie did that initial job. Tom sold his own art. All of them made additional money. I don't know what you wanted out of this.
@@pacmonster066That's not really the point of what they were saying. It's like if Eddie went to a bank, withdrew enough money to buy a plane ticket and went to New Zealand. It's relying on a prior resource (in Tom's case being his fame) instead of seeing how far you could actually get with £50.
Hi! I was your first customer at 10:13! I still can't believe I asked if you had change from a £20 and you didn't try to up sell me 😂 Was a pleasure to do business regardless ❤
The absolute funniest thing about ending up in Preston 24 hours later is that it's 2.5 hours away by train and it's possible to catch a direct train there under £50 😂
Awww, Eclectic Games! I lived in Reading for 4 years and it's a great shop, run by lovely people, worth visiting. And I didn’t even get £5 sponsor money to say that!
Ngl, the hitchhiking was probably the most earnest and effective way to do the challenge, but Tom bringing it all full circle with that picture was legendary 😂😂😂
@faustinolagoria3605 he was kicked out and replaced with a perfect clone of himself who shits pure drinking water every morning. This clone then swapped names Fuck the twin and layer left Turbopunch Ltd to pursue a career in pornography.
@@goodjobeli ah, the extremes on spectrum of patriotism. from "oh!! oh!! i know that place!! wow!!" to "this is a shithole. fuck off for your own good."
I’m a Canadian living abroad in the UK for a year and I bought my copy of muffin time from eclectic games! So cool to see them in the video!! Support small businesses!!
Even without Tomska's flight cancelling, i think Jay had the most compelling and awesome take on the challenge Him managing to get so far is quite impressive.
I wonder if we'll have a new try harder every episode for season 3 or just Jay for the whole season. Also, like how it's still Elliot singing the theme song.
I think a rotating special guest would be funny. Someone who is actually… well… experienced in the area so we can get the funny format of: Tom lies and cheats his way to winning with his fame, but something contrived but funny happens and he looses Eddie gambles somehow and proceeds to get a spectacular fail (2nd place after Tom’s lie is revealed) And the special guest actually wins.
He was saying very basic “can you help us get to X? Thank you!” kind of stuff. But his French is reasonably fluent, he lived there for a number of years
seeing as he won this challenge, I nominate Jay to be on a future season of Jetlag (honestly I mostly just want to see Jay on Jetlag because he'd probably drive Sam crazy in the best possible way)
Time for the Content fans to vote: which was the more shocking reveal of a dirty _cheater:_ -Tom actually traveling over a week due to flight cancellations -Elliot not even spending one night in his tent during the backyard camping challenge -Eddie's attempt to get unbaked goods classified as the tallest *cake* (Obviously none of these were actually done in mean spirit)
@@connorcampbell-bisson8721 well similar to Tom, it wasn't mentioned during the various montages of the challenge, but rather at the end of the video in a sort of reveal. This comment isn't meant to be too serious, I just remembered other twists of competitors being disqualified when it came time to evaluate their performance
@@stitches768 I feel like that would be a very exploitable caveat. "Your honor, you see, I dropped that piano on him because I thought it would be really funny! And it was."
It's happened in the past (I know for sure Tom's been in at least one video of Jay's, iirc Unfinished London, and I'm fairly sure Jay's popped up at random points in like,,, Last Week/Month vlogs here or there once or twice), they're both kind of part of a vague collection which in my head is labelled "vaguely london-y creators I like who all seem to at least vaguely know each other" lol
As a Reading resident I also recommend Eclectic Games!!! They’re wonderful people and it’s always such a lovely atmosphere, good to see Eddie repping them for half a day
I really do appreciate the hoensty these videos have. I think people these days are so opposed to scripted content or other forms of altering the media that they forget that sometimes the content's just better. This channel seems ro have a good balance of engaging challenges and a realistic depiction of how things go
32:25 Limoges is where the limousine was invented. Also, the seventh movement of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is about women fighting in the Limoges market.
Just wanna say the coming clean bit at the end was nice. I feel like that might go underappreciated with many, but I really loved the transparency, personally. We honestly don't get enough of that in any sort of media.
Ooh, Jay was a really good third for the challenge, kind of a straight man to the shenanigans of the other two (and still lovely comedic bits). Strong start of the season, great job!
It did remind me of the old top gear challenges - the fact they included a fourth challenger like the old beetle was hilarious - I just wish they’d followed through with that part of the bit. I would’ve loved to see the shark make even a half-ass attempt at going places with £50
As someone who went to university on Preston, your descriptions are so accurate. So happy the Wallace and gromit statue is there, it is a very new addition but worth it for this video
Jay Foreman, love him ! His videos are the default thing we put on when me and my mother can't figure out what to put on for TV dinner (or when it's too late for something long)
Aka TomSurfSkark, EddSurfSharkhe and Jay commit several small crimes and exploit the general public to travel as far as they can. I love how chaotic and silly these challenges are; that Jay did it closest to the spirit of the thing, Ed did it with such chaotic aplomb and failure whilst Tom played the game the hardest and went out of his way to one-up and rub it in Jay's cheeky teasing.
If you ever find yourself in Limoges looking for a fitting souvenir after a dishonest bespectacled man challenged you to a travelling contest, the town is famous for its porcelain. The more you know. If you only manage to make it to Orléans, use whatever means necessary to leave as soon as possible and book it to Tours instead, which is much better in every way (sorry, I'm from there and there's a bit of a regional rivalry). Also, if you're wondering about Jay's french level, he's pretty good! Wouldn't pass for a native, but he's fully intelligible and comprehensible.
Jeanne d'Arc is from Orléans and she absolutely crushed the English, so it's a win for Orléans in my opinion. I'm not from there so I don't actually know anything else about Orléans or Tours.
Jay should have simply contacted the Tim Traveller, who has collaborated with Jay on some of the videos he's produced and/or appeared in over the past few years (What Went Wrong With The Tube Map?). I'm sure Tim would have been willing to give Jay a hand once he reached French soil...unless he was out of the country at that time!!
As someone from Preston I can confirm there is indeed fuck all there, but seeing Eddie desperately running round my home town to get a bus for £2 brought me immense joy
i was trying my hardest to think of something. but despite it being actually a very nice place, it's really unremarkable. if you want to leave preston with an interesting but ultimately worthless souvenir, you get a degree from uclan.
Oh my God, the contest making it's way to Maidstone (the shitty town I currently live in) feels BIZARRE - like, no, you're people I'm parasocially attached to, you can't be real people that might coincidentally brush up against my life 😂
I went to Eclectic Games the other day. While they didn't have what I was looking for, the staff sat and looked on their computer for me to find somewhere I could buy it, which they absolutely did not have to do!

ok, but the fact it took adding "please" to the hitchhiking sign for it to work is both really funny and pretty sweet

Incredibly British I loved it
As a Mottingham native, we're snobs for politeness.
Also, my mum drove past My Favourite Musical Artist and didn't give him a ride!
"The challenge is to get out of here in 24 hours"
Eddie: "perfect time to settle down and get a job"
As per usual, Eddie is the odd one out.
Jay not accepting the money from the Manx couple unless he did some work for them and then writing them a poem is honestly the most Jay Foreman hack ever 😂😂😂😂😂
Jay is the best
And then he stows away on buses illegally twice
Yeah but that was in France so that's ok, that's how we use our buses anyway XD
Jay: "I'll hitch-hike as far as I can."
Reasonable, mundane, gets started quickly.
Thomas: "I shall gather up some extra funds by selling my stuff on the streets to fans and then use that to get further."

Absolute Looney Tunes behavior.
You forgot surfy’s strategy “Oh no! I can’t read the sign.”
"You're GENERALLY not allowed to break the law, that being the nature of laws"
Beautiful
E.g. seatbelts on coaches
I was at Preston Train Station when I saw a crazy man running outside near the taxi rank. I should've known it was Eddie.
You poor soul
Tbh I think that's a fairly unremarkable sight at Preston Train station
normal preston experience
I was just there a few days ago I wish I’d have seen it LOL
He could've picked a better bus route with that £2 fare, like the 40/41 to Morecambe past Lancaster.

Tom: Hehe, profit

@@jackmoneypeyote swim
@@jackmoneypeyote his was genius, so genius no human can comprehend, until he got robbed and had no money so couldnt do anything
The rule that you can make money to add to the budget was honestly stupid. It took away from the actual goal of the video which was travelling.
I guess it's because if they all start from the same place with a capped budget, their options are going to be too similar for engaging content t
Somehow Jay speaking French is simultaneously very impressive and not even slightly surprising.
It being captioned as "unintelligible gibberish" is also very funny.
I’m pretty sure he lived in France for a good while at one point
the fact that the subtitles said "unintelligible gibberish" tricked me into expecting Jay's french would be bad, but it's actually perfectly good
its just that french itself is unintelligible gibberish
It’s not the best but definitely not unintelligible!
Afaik Jay has lived in France for a while
Can anyone transcribe what he said (please)?
@@myratham3978 27:02 « Oui ? Vous pouvez nous aider ? Limoges, oui ! Merci ! » (He flubbed a bit on the « nous », which I think added to the unintelligibility.)

I love how one hitchhiked, one busked, and one tried getting a job. You wouldn't believe which one lost.
One broke the law, one was on the sketchy line of what is legal or not, one followed the law.
Crime does pay
Its so ridiculous that its illegal

Tracey: "Let me be aggressively kind."
Jay: "Only if you let me be aggressively weird."
Every episode of this gets a little bit closer to just being Taskmaster.
I love it.
Could you imagine if Tom was on taskmaster?
As it happens the algorithm posted me here directly from a Taskmaster video.
I love how eddie's thing for every episode is to lose in the most entertaining way possible.
And he still beat Tom somehow lol
whilst tom's plan might've been the most effective, jay's was easily the most inspiring,

Now why you’d want to that’s a different question
50£ and a barely guilty conscience 😆
@@naluzoniro only slightly guilty 😅
it _really_ says a lot about me when, as a southeast Londoner, i got really excited when Jay mentioned Mottingham
I felt the same when Jay ended up in Maidstone, the next town over from me

Love that Jay Foreman did a caricature that looked, strangely, like himself. And then wrote "I'm a cheapskate" on it.
I think the "I'm a cheapskate" was aimed at the guy he 'drew' not wanting to pay for a bad caricature.

Tomska exploiting his popularity for profit is honestly what I expected, and I fucking wish I was around to buy a drawing.
The Tryhard classic of exploiting your viewers. Gosh, I wish I had a drawing too 😔
Is it really a try hard budget challenge if tomska doesn't try to profit off of asdf?
(Not that I even blame him)
Even without Tomska's flight cancelling, i think Jay had the most compelling and awesome take on the challenge
Him managing to get so far is quite impressive.
And Eddie getting less far than if he had just bought a rust bucket with a 3 day MOT and half a tank of gas was also quite hilarious XD
I wonder if we'll have a new try harder every episode for season 3 or just Jay for the whole season. Also, like how it's still Elliot singing the theme song.
I think it's a rotating cast since the description doesn't mention Jay specifically in the series overview. It just names a "Third unfortunate soul."
@@curtbert2121Also in the pinned comment Tom ends it with “Who should we have on next time?”
I think a rotating special guest would be funny. Someone who is actually… well… experienced in the area so we can get the funny format of:

Eddie gambles somehow and proceeds to get a spectacular fail (2nd place after Tom’s lie is revealed)
And the special guest actually wins.
I really liked Jay on this, so if he isn't permanent I at least hope he's a regular
I hope Jay is in at least another episode, he’s hilarious
I live in Bordeaux, and stowing away on a tram without paying is probably one of the most French things you can do. XD
ok as a french i have to say i was very impressed of the french level of Jay Foreman. it sounded very natural. From that point i was all for him
Out of curiosity, what was Jay saying?
He was saying very basic “can you help us get to X? Thank you!” kind of stuff. But his French is reasonably fluent, he lived there for a number of years
Jay took 3 questions to ask whether Crime was acceptable. What a perfect fit for the show.
Oh my days I giggled aloud with "that's not a german boy! You're right, they're non-binary" holy crap it floored me
"If you're in Reading LEAVE" also made me cackle wtf y'all are too funny

Time for the Content fans to vote: which was the more shocking reveal of a dirty _cheater:_
-Tom actually traveling over a week due to flight cancellations
-Elliot not even spending one night in his tent during the backyard camping challenge
-Eddie's attempt to get unbaked goods classified as the tallest *cake*

Jay Foreman, love him ! His videos are the default thing we put on when me and my mother can't figure out what to put on for TV dinner (or when it's too late for something long)
the smile that came across my face when i realized jay foreman and tomska had officially colabbed
And on something essentially map adjacent. 😁
tom's made camoes in a couple of jay's videos
TRYHARDS ARE BACKKKKKK
They got JAY FORMEAN!?!?!?! OMG THIS IS AMAZING
*Jay pops up* 3:40
"Well Tom, what defines a "Country", we're the man-"

Tryhards with Jay Foreman is not what I expected, and also what I never knew I needed
Aka TomSurfSkark, EddSurfSharkhe and Jay commit several small crimes and exploit the general public to travel as far as they can. I love how chaotic and silly these challenges are; that Jay did it closest to the spirit of the thing, Ed did it with such chaotic aplomb and failure whilst Tom played the game the hardest and went out of his way to one-up and rub it in Jay's cheeky teasing.
If you ever find yourself in Limoges looking for a fitting souvenir after a dishonest bespectacled man challenged you to a travelling contest, the town is famous for its porcelain. The more you know.
If you only manage to make it to Orléans, use whatever means necessary to leave as soon as possible and book it to Tours instead, which is much better in every way (sorry, I'm from there and there's a bit of a regional rivalry).
Also, if you're wondering about Jay's french level, he's pretty good! Wouldn't pass for a native, but he's fully intelligible and comprehensible.
Jeanne d'Arc is from Orléans and she absolutely crushed the English, so it's a win for Orléans in my opinion.
I'm not from there so I don't actually know anything else about Orléans or Tours.
Jay should have simply contacted the Tim Traveller, who has collaborated with Jay on some of the videos he's produced and/or appeared in over the past few years (What Went Wrong With The Tube Map?). I'm sure Tim would have been willing to give Jay a hand once he reached French soil...unless he was out of the country at that time!!
Between this and Jet Lag I've discovered my new fav genre is Reality Show Starring UA-camrs
As someone from Preston I can confirm there is indeed fuck all there, but seeing Eddie desperately running round my home town to get a bus for £2 brought me immense joy
i was trying my hardest to think of something. but despite it being actually a very nice place, it's really unremarkable.
if you want to leave preston with an interesting but ultimately worthless souvenir, you get a degree from uclan.
I mean Estonia does have a ghost in popular folklore, only she's pale white. You did done good
Oh my God, the contest making it's way to Maidstone (the shitty town I currently live in) feels BIZARRE - like, no, you're people I'm parasocially attached to, you can't be real people that might coincidentally brush up against my life 😂
I went to Eclectic Games the other day. While they didn't have what I was looking for, the staff sat and looked on their computer for me to find somewhere I could buy it, which they absolutely did not have to do!
Tomska's ad placements being a skit has not only made me wanna watch them but also in a way that is informative i love it
