Always wear earplugs around loud noises, folks. That's it for this season! We'll be back in 2023 with another run, including the most unexpected adventure any of us have had yet.
Always wear earplugs around Matt Gray talking about the Weights and Measures Act 1994? Okay, I'll bear that in mind...
What?
Get Some God Damn...
Earplugs might not protect you from low enough frequencies though, what Gary described was more about the pressure than the sound. In audio tech subwoofers give out more air pressure than sound, too, and at a low enough frequency range you can both hear, and feel, the noise.

Goose on a train: *Honk-ho-HOOOONK*
Foghorn: *HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK*
The Foghorn outhonked the honkers.
@@finnnaginnn By a considerable margin as well
@@zJoriz Considerable? The margin is way ahead of Considerable, it is Unignorable.
They're all different versions of "honk"😂
Goose operating a foghorn on a train:
Honk-Honk-Hon-HHHHOOOONNNNKKKKKKKKK
"Just so we're clear, that's called hearing damage."
"What?"
I'm sorry, What?!
I’m impressed that Gary managed to beat Tom to something he could have easily covered on his Channel.
Right?? Idk why but it's amusing to me 🤣
and even gave us a teaser/cliffhanger with that last bit of info for that other bit of thing Tom could make a video about.
@@sirBrouwer to be fair there are many things Tom could make a video about up here.
This feels like payback for that short river moment in two of these people are lying
@@heyoitskram5748 and meatballs in Finland!
That travel montage was excellent. I can totally understand if Gary doesn't want to make his life more public, but I for one would enjoy a Gary Brannan vlog.

@@me_n_the_boys_lookin_for_beans He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
Agree! With the scenery, the rowhouses, and the flat-cap, the first 30 seconds of the montage could have been filmed in the early 70's and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
@@TomOConnor-BlobOpera So true. That is very apt.
Was just saying, Gary and Chris would do a cracking job of picking up where Fred Dibnah left off
"For my sins, I got involved in fixing it." What a line that is.
Is it an expression or did he really do it to repent or something?
@@Barberserk It's an expression, I'm unsure of it's etemology but it's one I've both heard and used as someone from the south of the UK
@@Barberserk no way of knowing. He looks like one of those dudes who's lived 3000 years in 4000 places doing 5000 different jobs
I expected, "It's all quite temperamental because of its age, but that's fair, so am I..."
He's Scottish, you just expect that from the people there
Gary, a train, and a honk? Really playing the hits here
Just need a goose and we've got the full Brannan Set.
@@JaxMerrick That would be too powerful
@@JaxMerrick Which goose, though? The one on a train, or the one *on* a train?
Indeed
@@benjaminnelson5455 Yes
When Tom said you can drop one from space it took me a minute to realise that this was something he'd literally done, filming some bloody garlic bread.
I watch that video more often than I want to admit
I think it might be more to do with sudden pressure change rather then the air pressure change in general? Not really sure though
@@justinmckee2256 I've several times fallen asleep watching RUclips and woken up 2 hours into garlic bread after it autoplays
I don't know why they made bloody garlic bread. Bloody bread and garlic bread seem like they'd appeal to entirely non-overlapping audiences, yeah?

Goose with Foghorn:
Goose: Honk! Honhonhonk!
Foghorn: That's what I've been - I say, that's what I've been telling you, boy!
I love how in the first run of this format, none of you spent money on travel, and in the second series Gary's off to the Shetlands and Tom's off to be disappointed in Iceland again
Maybe the budget carried over so they had more this time
@@Cruxador My theory is that last time they hadn't thought about travelling and after Matt brought it up last series they decided to do a bit more of that
Maybe they weren't sure if the concept would make any money on RUclips, so they kept it low-budget the first time.
I'll be honesty, first hearing Aberdeen I thought Gary was going to visit the Tura Coo. This is equally as delightful.
That had better be on the list
The Turac Who?
I really love this series. There is just something about seeing you all genuinely exited about something. I often find it hard to find things I like and it just makes me happy how you can enjoy the world around you like that. It actually gives me a lot of strength to go about and find things I personally enjoy aswell, no matter if it's somthing grand or something mundane.
What a great and accurate comment
I'm counting that shot of Gary hitting his head on the bedside table as *Tech Diff In Bed*
"The Technical Difficulties, in Bed!"
that does sound better
In bed AND at night! Now we just need some bacon, bees, and ice
@@margaretmadole Gary's last adventure had bacon sandwiches, so that's bacon taken care of.
Good to know Matt is so good at simply refusing to be successfully interrupted
Even people who CAN'T hear can probably feel the HONK in their chest.
Not much range on the feeling vs the hearing, but deaf people would likely be more sensitive to that feeling.
aye that's a honking loud honk, HONK!
@@bigiron4018 Can confirm.
I had a home by train tracks once. Literally across the street from my front door. You get used to the noise and don't even realize that you've stopped your conversation since you're so used it.
I have lived next to a fire station and after a few weeks I completely stopped noticing the truck sirens unless someone pointed them out.
It's weird how the brain works.
Same. I live near a big mosque that does their prayers and announcements diligently. Didn't really realize how loud it gets until someone else pointed it out. No disrespect to them though.
The door buzzer of the building I live in is really, really loud, and my flat is basically right next to the front door. Didn't even notice it until a visitor jumped about five feet in the air when someone opened the door via buzzer!
I love seeing systems like this, where you have a small, experienced group that knows how to run it. Any system that can be accurately described as "tempermental," while obviously less efficient than a system that just works, is much more fun in my opinion.
I'm glad there's one foghorn left in the UK, even if it's just one. Just enough for the fun of it to last.
It seems like more fun, but eentually you end up thinking you were tasked with it for your sins; that's how that expression works! XD But it's good when it works.
“For my sins, I got involved in fixing it.” 😂❤
"two to honk and one as backup".. that's a brand new sentence right there..
I immediately wanted to know what sound Sumburgh makes when it's backing up.
1:46 for those who wish to replay Gary's headbutt
2:14 for those who wish to replay Gary’s headbutt (feat. oww)
@@ahuddleofpenguins4842 Fair. Though it's better with their reaction imo
My finger hurts from clicking that timestamp
I need a GIF of that 😂😂😂
Tech Diff *In Bed*
Get some god damn hearing protection Gary.
I mean, I guess he would have is somebody would have made a 12 minutes video about the importance of getting some god damn earplugs...
"What?" 😂
Perfect reference. I love the old Matt and Tom park bench videos.
I understood that reference.
In Gary's defense, at certain dB levels ear protection is not effective as the pressure wave travels not through the ear canal, but *through your bones* instead! Earplugs and overear protectors typically only reduce the decibel level by 10-15 dB (its complicated) which, while good, probably wouldnt be enough to get a foghorn to 'no hearing damage' levels of noise.
😮
I am shocked - *shocked* - that Garry didn't use this opportunity to do a fart joke.
OH MY GOSH!! A FOGHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN!!!!
Thank you SO SO SO SO MUCH! for this season of the TechDif, this was awesome fun!!! Here's to a 2023 full of adventures!!
I still remember the Flamborough Horn switching to a modern, high-pitched beacon. It felt like we lost something when it did.
"So you're not going to the town of Twatt"
I like that Tom is expecting Gary to go there.
It fits with the Feast Of The Ass episode
I've actually been to Twatt once - sadly, they've removed the road sign, presumably because they were sick of dealing with tourists posing next to it!
@@jamescoulson6610 it probably got stolen a lot too
@@jamescoulson6610 The town of Boring in Oregon, USA, has a large sign for exactly that purpose. It's twinned with Dull in Scotland.
Don't forget about Tom's visit and subsequent apology to the town of Bro.
One thing I love about Tech Dif formats is how they always blend great humour with genuinely interesting information; I always come out of each episode with a grin but also a 'huh, I never knew that' feeling. Looking forward to the next series!
I think Gary might right about the changes in pressure breaking the camera, falling from orbit makes the gopro experience a gradual change fom low to high pressure, in this case it alternates between rising and lowering pressures(if i didn't missunderstand), shifting everything ever so slightly to each side each time it alternates. The air pretty much went like me wiggling a piece of metal back and forth to brake it.
Matt might be aswell, the motherboard, i think, would be the first to suffer from what is bassically vibration and torque
Yeah, it reminded me of pogo oscillation in rockets. Basically, if the air pressure cycle matched the resonant frequency of the camera, it could break it.
I could see how a sudden change in the ambient air pressure could break the lens. The lens is sealed, so the air inside it is at a constant pressure, and a sudden high pressure outside results in a large force that breaks the glass.
A simple test: Does the GoPro experience the Bends?
My favourite part of the travel montage is that Gary then had to turn the light back on, get up and turn the gopro off.
Ever since I saw someone (might have been WheezyWaiter) point out that concept, I can't take those aesthetic "walking past the camera" type shots seriously - I just imagine the person sadly trudging back to pick up the camera.
@@thomasm123 In many of these shots, I think they had to walk to place the camera, walk back, walk past, walk back, and _finally_ pick up the camera! I always find myself torn between not taking it seriously and respecting the extra effort.
@@eekee6034 so true xD And yes I respect the effort too, by 'not taking it seriously' I just sort of mean that it takes me out of the moment while I imagine them making the shots heehee
@@thomasm123 Yes, exactly! :D
I think it would be really cool to speak to a scientist about the interesting impacts on air pressure in the area when this thing is going. I can only wonder if Gary ruined a soufflé or someone’s weekly sourdough. All for a good cause IMHO. This was absolutely fascinating and Gary totally made the face we’d all make hearing AND feeling that bloody great beast go off. SO VERY COOL!
Also, Matt has gotten so good doing to-camera pieces! I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts being in front of the camera at his day job.
Future format idea. Four Guys, Four Days, Four Stops. You all travel together, you each pick a location to stop at with a cool thing to do, and a third party (maybe one of Tom’s producers) puts the itinerary together… including how you’ll get there and in what order you’re going to the stops.
Watching these guys for so long it’s so lovely to see them getting the ability to just go out and do a thing they enjoy, they’re all clearly loving it which makes it so much more enjoyable and entertaining to watch. Hats off to you lads
And this is how The Technical Difficulties goes out of 2022, not with a bang, but with a honk
Underrated! Though I feel I must point out that the honk in question was louder than many bangs.
@@eekee6034 I mean I jump when I drop a colander in the kitchen, plus bangs around me (main road) often are associated with screeching tyres
@@petro1986 Me too. :)
If anything comes of the slipped info by Gary, please do put a card up and add it to the desciption Tom!
Love this series. I think I'd give the "win" (if anyone can be said to have won "spend Tom's money doing random cool things") to Gary this time around
Gary needs to add “Goose on a Foghorn” to his repertoire.
I like that despite Gary's best efforts, Matt was the one to actually finally break Tom and claim the intro.
And got through it in full despite being interrupted back! 🤣 Well done Matt!
I'd say that one of these days Chris is going to do it, but I think Chris is above this nonsense.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Unless he can get a steam locomotive into the building. Interrupting Tom with a whistle is the only way I see it happening :)
When I saw the title and thumbnail I thought..... and he's on a boat. But it was a lighthouse and the main sound was not Gary. On lighthouses being obsolete. A friend of mine was with the Swedish Sea Rescue Society and their fancy navigation system stopped working so they used a paper map and the lighthouses to find their way home in semi-rough weather once.
This is the best group of geeky guys I have ever seen. They simply enjoy things. Keep it up!
Completely incidental, but Gary in that getup looks like the dictionary definition of Yorkshire.
And he is pulling it off.
Great episode, full on great lines
2:13 [thud] ow
14:15 For my sins, I got involved in fixing it
15:46 Just so we're clear, that's called hearing damage. - What?
18:20 Those that can hear will hear this
Anyone else notice Gary's "GIVE QUICHE A CHANCE" shirt? Always nice to see another Red Dwarf fan!
Don't worry Tom. As long as Brian Blessed is alive you can make a video with someone much louder.
OMG the fraise "STOP THAT I'M CAMPING" flashes in my mind every 90seconds now.
Brian Blessed as a cat:
*FEED ME!*
I saw the title and was kinda hoping this would be the compilation of every time Gary interrupted Tom’s intro
That would be a lovely bonus video for next week.
Thank you wonderful Gents for such an amazing series. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I look forward to each episode.
Great work!
8:44 interesting or maybe not so interesting anecdote: a while back a friend and me filmed a short video at the laboratories (mainly consisting of several gloveboxes filled with argon, so the researchers could do experiments under the right conditions) of a battery research centre and we after we filmed most of our stuff we thought it’d be a great idea to put the GoPro with its little tripod onto a small tray and and send it through the conveyor belt connecting several gloveboxes. We thought we could get some cool shots for a montage or something. The Go Pro would always stop working as soon as we put it into the glovebox. In the end we used one of our phones, worked fine. We thought it was weird at the time and I hadn’t thought about it in a while. I wonder what’s up with that.
Strong magnetic fields or electrical static field, part of or incidental to the experiment? Run a compass through and see if it twirls or sticks. Can't shield a camera (completely) from magnetic fields without obscuring the light, unless maybe you have transparent aluminum or a fine-gauge copper net to create a Faraday cage. (The net in front of the lens will be blurred and let *most* of the light through.
11:04 - What Gary's saying here makes me want to see super slowmotion footage of an inflated balloon next to the forghorn as it goes off.
What do you imagine? it's just going to get pushed lmao
@@AlexanderNash I think the idea is that it would be a diaphragm responding to air pressure, which would tell us about the pressure and it’s effects.
I once knew a Scotsman from Dundee who used to work in Shetland. He himself was quite the Scottish Nationalist, but was deeply impressed by the locals, who insisted, "We're not Scottish, we're Shetlanders!" Hearing the man describe the nature of the diesel engines brought back those memories of his recollections of Shetland.
I think it's super-interesting that you can see the moisture condensing at the foghorn outlet when it's sounding. When you compress air, you heat it up, but when you decompress it (as you are doing when the sound is made), it cools down (this is why when you are spraying a can of dust-remover or any other product compressed in a can, the can starts to get really freakin' cold). The cold then condenses the moisture in the air (which was fully gaseous at the high pressure of the air tank), and - somewhat ironically - the foghorn actually manufactures...fog.
I love that this feels like Gary's take on Tom's regular format!
Gary, Gary, Gary... Get some god damn..!
"Take that, James Burke!" ROFL...🤣
You know it's a really good idea when even Tom himself regretted not picking up that idea for his video. Mad respect to Gary
Gary missed his calling as a content creator, travel montage, different takes, interviews, intro and outro.
14:38 I like hearing "I dinnae mind" as much as seeing it spelled out
I guess the theme of this run is "Dangers" From the danger of crashing a piece of machinery, to the danger of hearing loss near machinery.
It's not just that it's funny that Gary hit his chin on the phone in the travel montage. It's that the timing between hitting the bed, hitting the phone, and hitting the lights is all even, so it plays as if his plan was step one: throw himself into bed; step two: hit his chin on the phone; and step three: turn out the lights. It's the fact that the timing is a perfect 1, 2, 3 as if each part of the sequence was intended that had me dying laughing before Gary even began his actual activity
Thank you, spent a lot of time as a child in a static caravan been woken up then lulled to sleep by the foghorn at Flamborough head. Had forgotten all about them until now. Great video as usual lads.
I'm not inherently interested in a lot of the things y'all have done on these, but it's so nice seeing you all so excited for each other. Plus, at this point, I'm pretty sure I'd watch any excuse to get the four of you in a room together; you just play off each other so well!

alt title: Gary goes to a George Ezra concert
The look of pure joy on your faces in these videos is my favourite thing in the world
As someone who has been on Kobba Klintar among the Åland Islands some years ago when its roughly similarly aged foghorn was ran this is quite delightful.
You guys please keep making more of these. I love how much fun you have, how wholesome it is and how much the rest of the gang enjoys the adventures. Seriously please keep making more.
Ah, yes - just checked. Gary states "... Britain's last working foghorn". Could have saved himself some train fare and come to Crosby Coastguard station IIRC to hear a fully working and in-service foghorn.
I just realized that Matt was some degree of correct when he said that Gary was going to flip off the shetlands with his trip's goal.
I love that the pastry shop is specifically featured during the travel montage.
"Take that, James Burke!" lol, I got that Connection. Great vid.
The sheer glee on Gary’s face when it goes off is magnificent
I'm sure Gary is aware of it but the book "The Foghorn's Lament" by Jennifer Lucy Allen is well worth getting. Featuring Brian and the Sumburgh Head lighthouse among others. Also worth checking out is the Whiby Lighthouse "Hawkster Mad Bull" foghorn
I am at 30,000 feet, I have been up since 3 am, and I have been waiting for this video all morning! I am ready to hear Gary make a loud noise
Tall lad
What are you doing at 30,000 feet?
@@DAFLIDMAN
Flying somewhere (home for the holidays?) I’d assume.
@@ragnkja ah yep that would explain it, I did have a brief moment of thinking 'damn that's a tall mountain with good phone reception'
@@DAFLIDMAN
30 000’ is about 9000 m, and no mountains on Earth are that tall. It’s also the typical cruising altitude for most passenger jet planes.
I love the absolute anti clickbait titles on these videos
"Take that James Burke"... a very niche reference, I salute you 😁
Really liking the different coloured subtitles
Missed opportunity and a fun fact for Tom: there is also a town called Twatt in Shetland - named after the one in Orkney. If only Gary had known
That was mentioned, don't worry. You know this lot wouldn't miss something like that...
Today on the Technical Difficulties, Gary crosses a picket line.
This was just amazing to watch, because I've been to Shetland! As you can imagine, it was amazing, even if I didn't get to see, and hear, that foghorn. I'm as amazed as you, Gary, a sunny day? On Shetland? No matter the weather, it was a fantastic place to visit, and most places sounded Scandinavian as well! Lerviken, Laxö, Valön, Tingvalla. So easy to see! They called a shed a "bod", while we in Sweden call a shed a "bod"... Kista = Kist (chest, with or without treasure). And all the people were so friendly!
I even met one member of "Pete Stack & the Rayburns", a band and a pun worthy of praise!
If you have the chance, get your arses over to Shetland! Beautiful and friendly!
I need to visit again...
I just noticed that Elliot Gough is listed as the editor in the description, does he edit the individual videos you guys presented here to or only the "final mix" with your reactions? Because I really loved the editing on this one, it does feel like a video Elliot would have edited, the man can really go ham when you give him creative freedom, that travel montage was just *chefs kiss*.
Gary was said to have turned in hours of footage for the first set of adventures, which means he didn’t edit it himself and it definitely wasn’t any of the others because that would have spoiled the surprise. In other words, I think EG did all the editing. (In the case of the travel montage, Gary may have given him some direction on what he wanted the final product to be like, and if that aligned with EG’s style, all the better!)
Elliot seems to be editing ALL of the British cinematic universe.
Is there goose on the train?
What a wonderful video, my favourite so far. And loved the James Burke reference.
This was just as entertaining as the time Gary cooked bacon on a steam locomotive's firebox. Incidentally I knew nothing about the Shetland Islands until now, apart from where they are. I also think Tom should make his own video about that foghorn.
The small detail of Gary's rebound off the bed conking his head on the phone shouldn't be as funny as it is.
"Take that, James Burke!"
I just happened to have been watching that particular clip earlier this morning. 😆
Gary needs to Get Some God Damn...
This👏series👏is👏the👏best👏
Still waiting on Gary's industrial history television series.
"Gary makes a very loud noise"... the travel montage should have had him eating beans. It could have been fun way to play with Chekhov's Gun.
I can’t wait to see Tom’s follow up video
I can hear Gary's tinnitus from here.
So Gary made a "Tom Scott Amazing Places" video... Tom should look out for this guy!
As a music teacher I use to tell the kids “it’s more felt than heard” and they never knew what that meant. I think Gary know now.
I absolutely love this series. It's entertaining and interesting and fun all rolled into one. Just love it.
Can I just say. We had a video of Gary on a train, talking about honking and we didn’t get Goose on a train
The best thing about Tom Scott cursing is he does it do well it never feels out of place.
God, the bit about GoPros and Air Pressure was one of those moments where you headscratch so hard, you remember how much humans mess with the natural world around them. Great stuff!
Excited for this Tom Scott video which Gary has hinted at
You could use this sound as a sort of anti-MYSTERY BISCUITS!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw the thumbnail and immediately wondered if this was going to involve a goose on a train.
The pure joy on Gary's face, this is the mother of all honks
It's so good that you are back! The new series is fantastic!
Also: can we please get merchandise with the four-coloured-logo?
I'm honestly surprised Gary didn't try to make a foghorn censoring a swear word joke (or maybe he did and it never made the cut?)
Ah, memories of childhood, listening for the foghorn, I never realized each had a distinct identifiable pattern as just one was near.
