Utes are a way of life for some people in Australia, I'm genuinely impressed they knew what the word 'bogan' meant... and from the low brow to the high brow... Real tennis is surprisingly popular in Melbourne, there are courts in the inner city and nearby towns, it's fascinating to watch players hitting the ball onto a veranda sort of thingy and their opponents sprinting to the place where they think it will bounce onto the court. Far more interesting to watch than lawn tennis.
Oh man, Tom one of these times you should slip another slip into the pile sometime so that all three of them are lying and you get to watch them all flounder.
The question is, has Tom Scott read all of the wiki articles about the various Tom Scotts? If he has, he'll know who's lying right away. It may not be a fair game. But, yeah, I would love to see one of them play the "Tom Scott" bit. However, I think their rules states that it's a random wiki article.

Ironically, Ford is a Ute manufacturer who hasn’t given a Ute a stupid jingoistic pastoral name. Subaru Brumby Proton Jumbuck Holden Rodeo (not a true Ute, but still a stupid pastoral name) Coupe Utility Utes have fallen out of popularity in Australia in favour of a more global Pickup Truck style. They are still called Utes colloquially, even though they have a detached cab. The last true Coupe Utility was the Holden VF Commodore. The last true Coupe Utility made by Ford was the EL Falcon. The US named their Coupe Utilitys along Latin (the region/culture) themes. Ranchero, El Camino, Durango, Caballero. Current Coupe Utility’s are the Dacia Duster Pick-up, Fiat Strada, Volkswagen Saveiro, IKCO Arisun. They are still popular in countries with a strong pastoral farming culture.
The Egyptian detail is what sealed the deal for Matt's being true for me. The Egyptians are dominating squash at the minute, but that's not even remotely likely for someone to just guess.
"Or it's gonna be all plosives." ... "Tom has a pile of papers. On each peace of paper" For a moment I thought he's going to recite a poem for the sake of plosives :D But no, sounds perfect. Why do you give the only condenser to the audio technician? He won't need a 2h briefing and 5 rehearsal rounds to properly use it...
When you guys tweeted and said "soon", I thought you meant like you're recording now and it'll be up in a few weeks or a month, NOT THE SAME DAY! Not that I'm complaining
It depends on who tweets it for me. If it's Gary, they've just filmed. If Matt is the one who hints about new episodes coming, it means that he's got the cut of the episode and is polishing up the audio.
I immediately knew the Squash one was real, because he mentioned Egyptians being winner and nobody felt it was obvious, which means none of them knew that Egyptians almost always win the squash championships, so it's not a piece of detail that any of them would make up easily. ... yes my favorite sport is Squash and I'm Egyptian 😂
Utes are genuinely amazing. They’re scaled properly (US pickups are too bloody big for the six pack of beer and the gun that they carry), are often mad fast and fit the “working man’s everything car” category perfectly.
Ash Curnow Don’t suggest anything, because anything that’s suggested where more than one of them can see it (and particularly where Tom can see it) becomes unusable.

*Ute with a Boot category is open to all makes and models of vehicle EXCEPT utes (i.e. Sedans, Wagons etc.), which still display accessories normally associated with utes (e.g. bulbar, aerials, stickers etc.)
Tom got a haircut, which really looks good on him, and makes him look younger, if not for that silver fox color he's got going on. And now, I kind of want to see Tom with a beard.
Having grown up with Utes being everywhere around me, as my childhood was spent in a fishing and farming village in countryside New Zealand, the idea that they're strange-looking to anyone is a surprise to me.
The only utes we have in America are El Caminos, and even then they're considered strange looking. If the back is open, it's supposed to be a pickup truck. If it's the size of a normal car, that's weird.
"I just feel like Ford wouldn't call it a muster. That's the thing that doesn't work for me." So you're saying that's the claim that didn't pass muster?
The time when Tom says he doesn't believe any of them is the one time I've been sure of the answer. As a Kiwi, I can totally see Aussies doing what Gary described.
Well, as a New Zealander, we just call all pickup trucks "Ute". There's no need to have made it specially (although I'm sure some do), if it is a flatbed behind a cab that looks vaguely car-like then it is a ute. I'm pretty sure Australia is the same, although I could be wrong.
Yep, anything with a standard car chassis but a flatbed in the back is a ute. Though we'd refer to something with a bigger chassis as a 4WD (four wheel drive) ute or 2WD ute if it's what the yanks call a pickup truck
8:52 Matt: We could all be wrong, but one of us would be a dick Chris (quietly): Let's save that one, I'll make a note. Almost two years later, he finally did it.
Not only is Matt using a fancy large diaphragm condenser but the others have swapped out the regular Sennheisers for Shure SM58s - there's more to this tale than they're telling!
drkastenbrot The SM58s have cardioid polar patterns too, so they would feature proximity effect as well if these guys ever got close to their mics, but they appear to keep a decent distance.

I heard it and was very confused as to what was even being said, as in American English I have never once heard muster used as a noun and ute is simply not used.
Same! I assumed I'd be able to tell which one was telling the truth by that, since based on other TechDiff videos none of them know that many facts from west of the Atlantic. I didn't even know that "a ute" was a kind of vehicle (although I have seen at least one in person.)
As a German I'm a bit sad nooe went for "generic German woman Ute Muster" since Ute is a common female Name in Germany and Muster exists as a family name.
Like the time Ian Hislop discharged himself from hospital to record an episode of Have I Got News For You? He then went back to hospital and they removed his appendix.
All Australian car manufacturers used to make UTES. However the 2 popular UTES were made by Ford Australia and General Motors Holden. The Ford UTE was based on the Ford Falcon and the Holden UTE was based on the Kingswood, and Commodore family cars. In the early days the UTE was a 2 door, bench seat (3 people). The passenger cabin was cut behind the "C" pillar, the rear passenger section was removed and replaced with a tray. Near the end the Holden Commodore UTE was also available in "CREW CAB" which has 4 doors.
As a dude whose left the states like twice I expect everyone in Britain is one of these four people, the skinny smart guy, the funny guy, the overly eccentric one and the one you see at the pub all the time.
I really really really love this show! The best thing is when you guys just can't help laughing, it cracks me up every time even if I don't always get the jokes.
My favorite thing about this show(despite all of it being fantastic), is that the premise is that Tom Scott HASN'T done research about a particular topic. This series is essentially the literal opposite of Things You Might Not Know, and it's a fantastic juxtaposition to Tom's other side.
This seems like a fun hobby for a group of friends to have. And for you all to be minimally conceited in your efforts while knowing you have a few tens of thousand of fans, is admirable.
Ah, here's where the shenanigans in the last episode on this channel began! Matt: "We could all be wrong, but one of us would be a dick." Chris: "Let's save that one, [make a note]."
After watching the final episode and now re-watching this, 8:50 - 9:00 I just realised how long Chris must have been planning the plot twist in it... :D
8:51 Matt Gray: "We can't all be- Well, we could all be wrong, but one of us would be a dick." Chris joel: "Let's save that one." *Remembers episode 4X02* YOU. BLOODY. GREMLIN!
I mean, three of you are using Shure 58's, which is still a perfectly decent professional grade microphone. We sell those in the family music store whenever we can afford to stock them, and my father, a pro musician and sound guy, has been using 58's for years.
Woo! It’s back! This is one of my favorite show concepts, and I’ve loved the past seasons of it. Also, Matt’s utes, the funicular skateboard, and rooftop mini golf, and the quick mention of real tennis (which is so very strange to me) was great! I can’t wait to see more Two Of These People Are Lying!
Matt: "Well, we could all be wrong, but one of us would be a dick." Tom: "And I'm not ruling that out!" Chris: "Let's save that one." This, dear viewer, is called foreshadowing.
I enjoy how Matt pointed out that his audio would be all plosives, and then said a sentence that seems to have been intentionally designed to have as many plosives as possible.
Studying Matt in this video and the other games, I am starting to finally understand the topic of reading lies that have been addressed on other channels with the eyeline thing. I won't say do to spoilers, but where he looks as he is thinking betrays whether he is lying or being truthful. And it is surprisingly consistent.
And away we go for another three shows. And yes, we'd really like to play minigolf like this. -- Tom
I would LOVE to see more of these improv shows from you guys. It's always a great week when I get to watch these.
These are fantastic! I'd love to see more series.
So Simone Giertz's Truckla is really a ute?
Just a fun fact for you four: The Windy City is a political nickname from around 1893, not a weather reference!
Utes are a way of life for some people in Australia, I'm genuinely impressed they knew what the word 'bogan' meant... and from the low brow to the high brow...

Matt's T-Shirt looks hospital issue. Like he's an in-patient who's been let out temporarily to do this thing.
Like the time Ian Hislop discharged himself from hospital to record an episode of Have I Got News For You? He then went back to hospital and they removed his appendix.
It's the fit, the shoulders hang off him
Highlight: Piss Cliff Lift, say it three times! Guys, it's AMAZING you're back, I've missed this series!!
Matt your "radio voice" is amazing. Would listen to it all day!
Last episode Matt & Gary nearly spit tea out. 4 months later, everyone has water. GET A NEW KETTLE MATT!
Mark Lonergan
Or just descale it.
Really?! YEAAAAAHHH more technical difficulties, thanks i love it
I never expect TOTPAL to come back, and I'm always happy when it does.
All Australian car manufacturers used to make UTES. However the 2 popular UTES were made by Ford Australia and General Motors Holden. The Ford UTE was based on the Ford Falcon and the Holden UTE was based on the Kingswood, and Commodore family cars. In the early days the UTE was a 2 door, bench seat (3 people). The passenger cabin was cut behind the "C" pillar, the rear passenger section was removed and replaced with a tray. Near the end the Holden Commodore UTE was also available in "CREW CAB" which has 4 doors.
As a dude whose left the states like twice I expect everyone in Britain is one of these four people, the skinny smart guy, the funny guy, the overly eccentric one and the one you see at the pub all the time.
Apart from the skinny smart one... I can't tell who is who
@@huell938 Funny guy is probably Matt, eccentric is probably Gary, pub is probably Chris.
The lack of a park bench makes me very emotional
I really really really love this show!
The best thing is when you guys just can't help laughing, it cracks me up every time even if I don't always get the jokes.
8:52 Matt: "We could all be wrong, but one of us would be a dick."
Chris: "I'll make a note."
Chris: *actually goes through with it.*
Still waiting for an episode of this where one of the lies comes out the same as the truth. It nearly happened in this one.
They came pretty close with the Hagia Sofia, from what I remember.
a little down from tromso
"Have you seen Ford's naming conventions?" Chris has a fair point. They called a car the Probe.
My favorite thing about this show(despite all of it being fantastic), is that the premise is that Tom Scott HASN'T done research about a particular topic.
This series is essentially the literal opposite of Things You Might Not Know, and it's a fantastic juxtaposition to Tom's other side.
This seems like a fun hobby for a group of friends to have. And for you all to be minimally conceited in your efforts while knowing you have a few tens of thousand of fans, is admirable.
Ah, here's where the shenanigans in the last episode on this channel began!
Matt: "We could all be wrong, but one of us would be a dick."
Chris: "Let's save that one, [make a note]."
After watching the final episode and now re-watching this, 8:50 - 9:00 I just realised how long Chris must have been planning the plot twist in it... :D
"We could all be wrong, but one of us would be a Dick"........ Almost Foreshadowing.
9:00 chris: "let's save that one make a note"
*Christmas 2021, Chris keeps his promise"
I was ridiculously excited to see this pop up, well done lads
8:51
Matt Gray: "We can't all be- Well, we could all be wrong,
but one of us would be a dick."
Chris joel: "Let's save that one."
*Remembers episode 4X02*
YOU. BLOODY. GREMLIN!
Tearing up at "the Burning Man of bogans" because literally any car show in rural Australia genuinely is
I mean, three of you are using Shure 58's, which is still a perfectly decent professional grade microphone. We sell those in the family music store whenever we can afford to stock them, and my father, a pro musician and sound guy, has been using 58's for years.
"Lets Save that One" ah so this is where the idea of Chris doing "3 of these people are lying" for a christmas special came from
OMG, the Chris foreshadowing for the New Year's special is just *chef kiss* definitely where he got the idea.
Ute Muster could have been a German woman too. "Ute" was a common name in Germany ~30 years ago
Everybody going "no" into the camera seems to be this episodes outro. Fair enough.
Yes! Just started watching all the Technical Difficulties. Just as I finished pretty much everything yesterday this comes up
This is *exactly* the content I've come here for.
'we could all three be lying but then one of us has to be a dick'
skip to 2 weeks ago when that literally happened
Woo! It’s back! This is one of my favorite show concepts, and I’ve loved the past seasons of it. Also, Matt’s utes, the funicular skateboard, and rooftop mini golf, and the quick mention of real tennis (which is so very strange to me) was great! I can’t wait to see more Two Of These People Are Lying!
Taylor Hancock
“Real tennis” doesn’t sound like a real game
Ok so now that Chris lost the show, he needs to host next time and Tom needs to throw in an article.

According to Gary, Tom just isn’t good enough at bullshitting off the cuff.
@@ragnkja which will make it funnier
Gennifer Bridget Ti'ana Maher
Apparently he’s so bad that it’s not even funny.
@@ragnkja which is even funnier take away his laptop, now take away his preparation
Come now, you can't take that away! That's all this man has left!
8:52 Man, that'd be crazy if someone did that for a New Years special
2:52
"A point is a point, you can't say it's only a half."
ok TJ """""""Henry"""""""" Yoshi
Matt: "Well, we could all be wrong, but one of us would be a dick."
Tom: "And I'm not ruling that out!"
Chris: "Let's save that one."
This, dear viewer, is called foreshadowing.
I love how Matt was like 'this is gonna be all plosives' and then went 'tom has a pile of papers...'
14:35 You've won a book about Frank Lloyd Wright's urine-powered elevator; Falling Water's Falling Water: The Piss Cliff Lift.
I think we all know that Chicago needs to set up rooftop minigolf now
"it's like the burning man of bogans" is the best description of the Denny Ute Muster Ive ever heard. Props.
I enjoy how Matt pointed out that his audio would be all plosives, and then said a sentence that seems to have been intentionally designed to have as many plosives as possible.
Matt Grey's Plentiful=Plosive Poetry.
8:50 I just rewatched the episode where that comes back :)
So excited to see this pop up just now! Thanks for making my morning a fun one :)
Matt - “Well we could all be wrong, but one of us could be a dick”
Chris, two years later - 🤔
God damn, every time they come back I realize how empty my life has been without them....
I hope that doesn't mean my life is sad(der than normal)
Studying Matt in this video and the other games, I am starting to finally understand the topic of reading lies that have been addressed on other channels with the eyeline thing. I won't say do to spoilers, but where he looks as he is thinking betrays whether he is lying or being truthful. And it is surprisingly consistent.
9:00 "lets save that one, make a note"
...
*_sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious_*
Thank you - Biscuits for everybody!
