TOM is at tomscott.com or @tomscott on Twitter
MATT is at mattg.co.uk or @unnamedculprit
GARY is @garybrannan on Twitter
and CHRIS doesn't do this social media nonsense.
Something of note, there were actual mystery biscuits given out on the way out. Then way more given out in the park afterwards because Tom ordered way too many.
They were very nice biscuits.
Mystery...
"Very nice", if one is to believe OP.
You have no idea how jealous i am right now
@@TheBOB235 I can hazard a guess.
He's dead now
I love that they're all wearing red shirts, but every one is just slightly wrong shade of red in a different way.
Gary just couldn't manage to find another shade of light red sadly :P
From Left to right: too rich, too pale, too dark, too orange
@@kadencalleberg Tom's red shirt can't be "too" anything it's his thing the others are prolly riffing on tho
Chris - Saturation, Gary - Brightness, Matt - Hue.
665th like. I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess
6 years later, Tom has found the branch of Iceland in Iceland! The prophecy has been fulfilled!
There's Iceland, but no volcano for Tom sadly.
@NoxCaelis just an angry hill
I can't find that, in what video was that?
@@sehfisch2350 the new tech dif video, when he walks up a hill - it's mentioned and photographed
Maybe he will walk up another hill this season.
watching this in the second half of 2019 means that while they're talking about driving flaming cars and needing to "get out of it with the most panache you can," the *only* thing in my brain is david tennant driving a flaming bentley
I'm watching this in 2022 and also thinking of a flaming Bentley, but I read Good Omens long before that so actually I wasn't thinking of David Tennant specifically...
@@beth12svist I also read Good Omens long before the show, but somehow, I think I was always thinking of David Tennant?
After I read this, I had a pic David Tennant flying a flaming police box stuck in my head
Ditto
Just so everyone knows... you DO NOT need a license to operate a chainsaw in the UK. Not even professionally. However, if you were smart you'd go on a training course and get a certificate of competency that will mean people will feel more inclined to choose you and your public liability insurance will be cheaper.
I still want to go on the course though.
It’s kinda like how technically you don’t need a forklift operator license to use one professionally, but most businesses won’t let you unless you get one because of liability
i could see this being a BBC show
+NonsensicalVids I could see this being cancelled after two of these fine gentlemen have a scuffle and the show being brought back with 4 humorless oafs.
Colin Bergmann and the 4 of them being afford a large some of money to do the show on a streaming service, which will be better
Its just QI.
Fracas*
@@dawnqwerty It's QI: Yorkshire Edition
With hands warm enough that it's regularly commented on, and as a hobbyist bread maker, I appreciate the start on a personal level
Matt: Is 'organist' a subcategory of a physician?
Me: Get out!
There's an anime about making bread where the protagonist's superpower is having warmer then average hands.
obviously made by a citation needed fan
One can't help but wonder if Radio Luxembourg was inspired by the March 15th 1955 Goon Show episode "The White Box of Great Bardfield", where Neddie Seagoon is given the task of selling snow to Sudan.
Makes you think.
Wacky Radio Challenge!
highest scoring episode of CN ever
96 liters of water is around 210 lbs (half thatish in kgs), and a camel weighs four times that. But, price is right rules; Chris was closest without going over.
A litre of water is literally a kilogram
@@domholden5926 You know... Duh... I rly shud have thowt that thru xD I was too busy tryin to work backwards from 210lbs to get to kg to think about that obvs conversion there.
@@SylviaRustyFae ah np
*Clicks on the subscriptions*
*sees Citation Needed*
Me: Yay, the best day ever!
It's been 3 minutes since this has been uploaded
Time to shine
Penis
If citation needed was just a couple years later then one of the prizes would definitely be a deez nuts joke
Did you really bother to use a projector to display the MYSTERY BISCUITS!!!
I think that is the only time Mystery Biscuits were not properly awarded!
Ken Oakleaf there was another episode in an earlier season, as well. I want to say in season two, but I can't remember the specific episode.
I like these more XD
The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie
ok
HANDS ACROSS THE WATER! HANDS ACROSS THE SKY!
Tom, Glava (glassvatt) never contained any asbestos (afaik).
Hello, Tom!
Can anyone explain why I just got an advert for selling my used wind turbines?
17:50 Ah, yes, ze one wiz ze big 'ooter!
A pass -gas CERN pass
I find it odd that you need a license for a chainsaw in the UK... so strange.
Isn't Leatherface from America, where you doing need a chainsaw licence?
That was a long 10 minute intermission
No one seemed to notice that in response to the question "you have a chainsaw license, don't you?", "not since October" is one of the most ominously concerning answers a person could give
The "You're all slightly safer in your beds" is a bit worse tbh. "Not since October" could just mean it expired in October and was never renewed.
As an American, the idea of "chainsaw license" is so ridiculously alien.
I actually looked this up, you only need the license to do work with it commercially. You don't need a license to just own one for yourself.
@@andywood6376 it's a commercial license
You will also have one in America
@@Alucard-gt1zf no such thing here in Canada, I've made a living with a chainsaw saw in my hands for thirty years, no licence available
Tom: What’s 2 + 2?
Matt: Llama.
Gary: Purple.
Chris: Germany.
Tom: *close enough*
_ding_
I was talking the cheese, by the way
@@westcheap no. That would be blue, not purple
5
it is gerMANY, so it is somewhat close, right?
It's been six years and the sheer _relish_ with which Gary calls Tom "dickhead" after the pastry-making hands rant still gets me.
For those who weren't keeping score:
Chris: 8
Gary: 8
Matt: 7
Winner: Gary
Mystery Biscuits: No-one, but Tom did say the audeince gets them...
Is this counting the point Chris gave to himself
Did you watch the bonus content?
Only on Citation Needed would anyone argue against getting a point based on a technicality.
Well they *are* the Technical Difficulties...
Fun fact, there is a branch of Iceland in Iceland. Very meta, wow.
Andskotinn, ég þarf að læra að skrolla áður en ég kommenta.
gummi666 Do mums go there?
E x p l a i n
@@demonking86420 please explain what you don't understand
@@gummi666 oh wait I rewatched it I got it now, it's about an Iceland supermarket in Iceland the country
I'd pay money (not large amounts of it, but maybe £4.99) for an uncut recording. Really just to see how much "less fun in real life" these really are - the audience generally looked pretty well entertained ;)
Oh we were entertained: this is pretty close to the full show- there's a bit that makes reference to where Tom lives that had to be cut out because otherwise he WOULD get letters and who knows what else- but otherwise very little went on the cutting room floor, just the beeps added in, and the perspective not changing unless you move your head. Now having someone record the next live show so you could purchase it to watch in VR.........
I too would like to pay $7.50. $8.50 seems like a lovely price. $11.00 would be alright
Also, I'm going to take the Gary Brannan approach to mathematics: *consults mathematicians* "Bastard"
Upvoted for Pastry Making hands vs. Bread Making Hands PERMANENTLY becoming a part of my personal lexicon.
@@ragnkja this is difficult as my fingers have been permanently attached to my hands since birth
Gary's explanation starts around 1:11, for reference!
I'll put the encore up next week, but apart from that -- that was our show! We'll likely do some more low-key live recordings in January and February: if you want to know when tickets go up for that, follow the link in the description!
Tom Scott how often do you do these?
Please do moar tom!
I'm going to London in January. I hope the dates line up!
I'm actually considering to take the train, St Pancras International is pretty decent to get to.
I love live stuff :D I wish I had more than one "Like" to give.
5:06 "...per Kilo that made it to the Arctic." I'm thinking it'd be pretty easy to get the ice to the Arctic unless you're starting from the South Pole.
Today I learned that a chainsaw license is a thing that exists in the UK.
I know, right? I always expect to learn really obscure stuff from Wikipedia, but I never expected to learn something like that.
Jonathan Chappell As a UK citizen: Neither did I
I know a few unlicensed chainsaw weilders.
I think that only applies for commercial use and use on public property
It is likely similar to how a chainsaw license work in Norway. You need one if you are getting paid for using it. If you just do some gardening with your own chainsaw on your own time, no license needed.
Liked for Gary's explanation of bread making hands vs pastry making hands
And, of course, "[long and frantic description], _dickhead"_ :D
Explains his responses when Tom doesn’t pick him on 2 of these people are lying
And Chris's subsequent attempt to melt Tom with his hands after deliberately misunderstanding Gary.
When they were invited to drive back to Paris, they should have said "Yes, if you rename it the *Arctic* Triomphe"
That's actually what I thought he said there for a moment :D
Gary: "That rings a bell, but I don't know why."
And that's how he won.
honestly i was expecting citation needed to be pretty awkward live but the atmosphere and the format works really well with the live audience. well done lads!
james dyson
I love the look on Tom's face when his jokes got groans 😂😂😂
Gary's use of "dickhead" as punctuation is just the best :D
"de Gaulle."
"Did he fly there?"
For the love of God, toss Matt some biscuits
I still don't understand that one. Is it because of the airport by the same name? Because if so, that's an awful joke.
@@hobbitilius my guess is it might be a pun on "the gull" as in a seagull, but yours is also probably likely.
@@meme__supreme3373 I think it is. Tom said "de Gaulle" (referring to "the gull"). Also, it likely wouldn't be as funny...
eingeoelter Kanalarbeiter The Charles De Gaulle is an airport in Paris
I'm an American watching this, a good percentage of the British jokes and references going right over my head, and even I knew that France has a big international airport named Charles de Gaulle.
I didn't until now know who it was named after, though.
every time I explain to someone what pastry-making hands are (which is quite often as I do it every time I get compliments on my pie crust) I have to stop myself from doing it in Gary's Yorkshire accent
I have to stop myself from saying "dickhead" at the end
0:10: The subtitles can't handle Yorkshire - that's " 'ey up", not "hiyo".
Tom: "What radio station would put out a challenge like that?'
Gary: *puts on posh accent* "The BBC World Service..."
Tom: "Very much the opposite."
Gary: *posh accent* "The ITV World Service."
I love how he barely even skipped a beat for that one.
"You have a chainsaw license don't you?" "Not since October."
What did you do in September to lose your license?! ._.
halloween?
Nillie what kind of dystopia issues licenses for power tools?
@@stoutyyyy i don't remember the exact rules but you only need a "licence" to use them in a professional capacity, so if you're charging for a service which includes the use of a chainsaw and/or you're using it on public land then you need a licence but if you just want a chainsaw to do some work on your own land you can just buy one and use it without issue
Gastón Miguel Hutt oh ok then
"of course there are mathematicians in"
Almost nailed the same shades of red. So close.
Hamish Woodland I'm sure the red shirts are left-overs of Tom's birthday where Tim and a barman at UoY union bar thought it'd be a good idea for everyone to show up dressed as Tom...
Nillie Quite possibly, my memory can and often is a tad patchy - but yeah, still left overs from that escapade!
I remember it, haven't watched it in a while...
might have to binge on Tom Scott videos tonight, oh wait... bad idea, I got work tomorrow!
Nillie yup, doesn't work...
I just get addicted and totally just go for it!
Hamish Woodland someone missed the memo 🤣🤣
What happens when you ask a wine about a day to give currency to dried grass in the 5th month of the year?
chardonnay say nay to hay pay day in may
yay!
Chardonnay say nay to may hay pay day, yay!
whoever did the Subtitles Chris' intro should Clearly be Spelled "ey'oop" rather than "Hiyo"
datdabdoe
ey up
Ay up
I still remember the fact that it took them roughly 5 minutes to guess the radio station. Conveniently edited out, of course.
Hah, you can feel the energy of the live show in their faster-than-normal intro bits. Also, Chris Joel's impression of a block of ice was just... fantastic
Late pedantry: An Nth implies 1/N where N is a positive integer, which is not the universal answer Gary was trying to sell it as.
For a unit of matter though, it is.
1/96000th melted works just as much as anything
You need a license to use a chainsaw in the UK?
Not legally! But if you're using one for any sort of company, they'll want proof that you've been properly trained and aren't about to damage property or hurt people.
Very much so
That's what I was thinking. What happens when your license expires, do they come and take your chainsaw away?
and his expired? what they afraid he may forget how to be safe?
You don't need a license, but it can help.
I hope someone said "It all goes south from here" after they got the ice loaded.
Wahey!
Since they were Norwegian, I doubt it.
@@ragnkja Good to know. Not sure I'll ever have any use of that, but good to know. :D
(In Czech it's only downhill. We have no cardinal directions equivalent.)
hey look iceland in iceland just like the latest vid from the technical difficulties
I mean, you say that Bread Making Hands Man would be the shittiest superhero, but "Yakitate!! Ja-pan", a show about literally that, went on for 69 episodes.
6 years late to reply but yes, and they have a villain with pastry hands!!
Look, it's a stage full of Tom Scotts!
We must learn to judge people not by the colour of their t-shirt but by the content of their character
I love how you can tell that they got REALLY side tracked by the fact that Matt lost track of what they were talking about
Matt should get Mystery Biscuits for the "Ministry of Silly Walks" stage exit.
Matt Gray sits in the freezers and licks everything. That's why mums go to Iceland ;)
Why is nobody as amazed as me by Matt's wacky-radio-challenge- voice?
The bread-making hands bit is just making me wish Gary was in the running to host the new Bake Off
0:45 Gary: What have we done.....
Created a beloved fixed-cast internet panel show.... seemingly by accident....
Italian Job: no
Robot Wars: yes
Hotel: Trivago
I know I'm really late but were the camels okay? Tom said the water was filled with fiberglass. I'm worried about the Saharan camels that existed decades before I was born! Even the Wikipedia article didn't confirm that the camels were okay. Poor camels 😢 🐫
Surprised no one seems to have pointed out quite how close Chris was since Google suggests a camel can drink 20 gallons at any one time which is just short of 91 litres (90.922 litres) when the answer was 96
Citation Needed is one of my favorite things on youtube.
like 6 years later: turns out they do have an Iceland in Iceland
"You should see me in the freezer! - You SHOULDN'T see me in the freezer!" 😂
Still a good one
Well, Tom has found a branch of Iceland in Iceland
Brannan's a damned good singer and we should appreciate that more.
Since when does YT translate the description and video title? Or did Tom suddenly start posting in german?
@Yürüyen Ansiklopedi it's the worst. I skip almost everything on youtube in my native language.
It's fan translations I think. Makes it hard to find the video if you know only it's native name.
It happens sometimes in danish too
RUclips does that sometimes and it's really the worst because very often the translation is awful; awfully literal so I suspect automatic translation when that happens. Although I guess enthusiastic fans with no translation skills would also explain it; but I've seen different translations of the same video title over time, so I'm still thinking automated.
(There is the series "Victorian Way" by English Heritage. The translation into Czech uses the Czech word that means "path", not one that means "the manner of doing something". It's the worst.)
Your shirts make a depressing rainbow
to be fair, chris deserved biscuits for saying that water can't melt
Ice is just frozen water though, so water can melt.
Tom : Glacier ( Gla see eir)
Any Bloke from Manchester : Glashier
Chris : Gla see.....
Any Bloke from Manchester : Glacier!!
Why is Toast now called Chris?
Henry Phillips that always happens.
never happened
The thing with Toast never happened
Never happened
11:49 Tom, Chris didn't say zero, he said null. Big difference! Maybe there's like a series that explains The Basics of computer science somewhere on RUclips that could tackle that concept.
I could 100% see a live version like this being VERY popular
Extremely late on this, but I’ve just spotted that there are 5 water bottles on stage. I’ve watched through this series at least 3 times, never noticed before. Why are there 5? There’s only 4 of them…
That just reminded me, the free mystery biscuits are still in my glove box...
Are they still there?
For people not arsed about doing the Maths, the prize money would have been FF270,000,000 which would have been about $771,428 in 1959, which is $6,865,070 or £5,472,585 in today's money.
I would love to see these 4 reenact the scene from Monty python holy grail where they are going to burn the witch
Did they all wear red shirts on purpose?
All varying shades of red I see - are they trying to take the mick?
I don’t get the Aqua joke.
Tom.
Serious business of sponsorship.
Highly recommend you make an actual...."mystery biscuit" recipe,prior to contact with...... Carrs of Carlyle.
Rather than order biscuits.... negotiate royalty rights with them.
(Carrs of Carlyle....flooded some years ago .....and this was when it became apparent that they supplied MOST supermarket own brand biscuits.)
As I suspect you guys would be able to make a mint 😜
or possibly a choc chip,from the proceeds.
Something to chew over with your colleagues,at least.
(I never could resist an awful pun.)
🤗
😺
In earlier seasons, the term "Mystery Biscuits" was coined because a contestant would receive a literal biscuit as a reward for a good answer.
L-ice-nce to carry ice
10:08 there is in fact an Iceland In Iceland not too far away from Reykjavík
There is an Iceland just outside of Reykjavik!
A camel holds about 114 liters of water. Chris was the closest
Actually, we have a branch of Iceland in Iceland. We call it 'Iceland', which is not funny at all, but there you go.
Are we just going to ignore that Gary's mom was actually in
An nth is undefinable. Once it is defined, it is no longer an nth
In austria with our many tunnels u learn in truck driving school that u dont stop in a tunnel if a tire is burning!
A camels worth of water is actually closer to 480 litres. But Chris was still closest.
Price is right -rules, so Chris went over
Garry probably heard of Albert Schweitzer because of Eddie Izzard’s dress to kill
