Jon ended the second game with 11 so how did Blair retain as he had 10 last round then 1 person got the question right so Jon would be at 11 and Blair would be at 10
Every time Snake Tom opens his mouth, the good team looses 30 seconds. He was deliberately rambling justenough to eatclock, but not enough to get caught. Brilliant Mate.
"I have never seen a mongoose lie in my life. And today hasn't changed that experience." With all the wacky personalities of BGC, Tom's dry delivery is always the bit that pulls the largest laughs out of me.
43:57 - Here you go Laurie: The bird's nests used for this soup are not simply found in trees, abandoned by their owners. These edible bird’s nests belong to the swiftlet, a small bird usually found in Southeast Asia. The swiftlet lives in dark caves and, similar to bats, use echolocation to move around. Instead of twigs and straw, however, the swiftlet makes its nest from strands of its own gummy saliva, which is produced by the glands under the tongue. The nest then hardens when exposed to air. The structure is quite impressive, a tightly woven hammock-like formation, made of strong threads that can be white, yellow, or red. The nest is secured to the rock wall in the cave, and therefore can be challenging to remove. Some of the processes of harvesting nests are extremely dangerous. The nests are usually located at the top of caves and the nest collector has to use a very narrow, shaky, and long wooden ladder which they climb on top of to reach the nests. Because this is so dangerous, many nest collectors have lost their lives. In addition to people spending a lot of money on bird's nest soup, there is another aspect of this dish that causes controversy: Swiftlets are an endangered species, and the more nests that are consumed, the closer swiftlets head toward extinction.
@@Hyrulistic The bird's nest itself doesn't have too much of a taste. Commercially (at least where I live), it's usually sold as a drink with rock sugar and ginseng, so it's sweet and fragrant. You can also buy the bird's nest itself and make your own soup. How it tastes mainly depends on what you do with it.
Blair: Makes a solid argument as to why a fact is wrong while being the Mongoose of Truth. Blair: Proves her argument with empirical testing within the allotted time of the round. Her team: Somehow still picks another option. What. xD Oh well, she still got the well-deserved win. It's a streak!
The argument didn't actually make sense though tbf, of course the card would be talking about averages so saying "everyone's different" doesn't really prove anything Men and women do actually have different average heart rates it's just that men are actually slower not faster because they have bigger hearts on average so can pump blood more efficiently
@@Pattonator14 process of elimination. The question was what’s wrong. She proved the other two right. That argument doesn’t matter, the other two were just proven right and they just ignored it
@@briang341 I'm not sure my thumb even is the same size as my nose and it gives no sense of where to measure from - where does my thumb count from? Where does my nose count from? And nobody was particularly sure about the forearm foot thing. Having it look 'about right' on one single person, considering "everyone's different", is not proof at all lol They didn't "just ignore it" they asked valid questions of her proof and let those doubts take them elsewhere
Here's my problem... They're all false for me. My thumb is longer than my nose, my forearm is longer than my foot, and everyone who has some knowledge of biology knows that bigger animals have slower heartbeats, that's why when you hold small house pets it feels like their hearts are beating out of control, so, on average, men's hearts beat slower than women's.
Part of the reason there are 421 (I believe) words for various types of snow in Scotland is because the geography meant a lot of isolated communities with various cultural origins (Gaelic in the West, Norse in the North, Welsh in South-East, even some Low Countries stuff in the East), plus you have "tambuu" languages among fishing communities with their own words. Hence how we have an absolutely bewildering number of words, from scowtherin to flindrikin to glush to unbrak.
The figure is a misrepresentation of the facts. The people claiming there's 400+ took count of all words related to snow including words to describe snowflakes, snowballs, slush, snowfall, the sound of moving through snow, snowy footprints left after you come inside from walking in snow, or even just the act of walking through snow. Scotland doesn't have 400 words for snow. For snow itself there's about a dozen, which is a lot, but not ridiculous for the reason you outlined.
I love how in that very first round, the snakes advocated for the correct answer, and everyone else just kept misleading away from the answer. It was actually confusing and I had to double check who was actually "innocent" that round.
@@Jubei66666 Right, but it asked which is the FASLE fact, and it didn't say *_average_* heart rate, it just said men's hearts beat slower. It was incredibly vague/poorly worded, and since the other two facts WERE correct and clearly stated, the only logical choice would be to pick the one that could be interpreted as incorrect or "False". 🤷♂️
@@Srymak ... By concentration... How? It can't be percentage of total population. Maybe just how many in a single country? But countries are just arbitrary chunks of land, concentration implies a meaningful percentage or fraction. I suppose it could be per sq kilometer/mile. That would work.
Tom's idea of men's hearts beating faster because they're bigger is interesting. Because you've got Hummingbirds with a heart rate of 1000 BPM and whales with a BPM of 33. If you're big, your heart doesn't beat faster, it beats harder
Plus you add in the expertise and skill required to create the dish where saffron and white truffles are agricultural products so makes sense it's the most expensive.
Bird is endangered too, so adding the peril faced by actually claiming the nests for consumption to the cost, you also have to factor their dwindling numbers - caused in no short part by the amount of their homes that are being destroyed for a luxury food.
you know they film those bits after they play? they don't keep getting out there seat to say things during the round, he is being sarcastic because he knows he was the mongoose multiple times
"not afraid of heights but becomes afraid because of a physical condition" regrettably in that category - i loved heights so much and then the vertigo got me... now it's from rationally being afraid of losing my balance when my legs starts shaking and i get dizzy.
There are so many Jake the Snake Roberts references to be made... but instead I'll just say thank you for all of the incredible work you all are doing. Always a highlight for my week. Keep up the great work y'all!
I'm so used to people not knowing game history that when Adam gave the exact right answer about whether go or backgammon were older I was a bit surprised, but then I remembered what channel I'm watching.
9:00 Hi Star Wars Nerd here. R2D2 wins by a landslide if you think about it. He's in the entire movie consistently, whereas Obiwan is introduced over halfway in the movie and dies. Vader's scenes are iconic, but few and far inbetween. R2 D2 is the first character we meet in the film, even before Luke, we follow him and C3-P0 throughout most the movie and even when the heroes do take center stage, they have a lot of scenes, like helping stop the trash compactor or R2 flying with Luke during the Death Star Battle.
This seems like a really fun trivia game since it takes away the shit feeling of "I don't know what this topic even is so I'm useless" that inevitably happens in other trivia games.
4:30 A funny thing always happens in hidden role games when you have to close and open your eyes. Everyone who has opened their eyes in secret exaggerate when opening their eyes for the 'first time'.
11:57 Is it literally just me that knew this piece of obscure knowledge - absolutely no clue how as I'm not Scottish but it was in my brain having for some reason been deemed better knowledge to have than what I need for my exams
I had to look that up because I thought they were playing loose with the term refrigerator, but no, 1834 was the first vapor-compression refrigerating system.
I have watched dozens of these videos by now and hand to god I didn't know Blair wasn't British until you explicitly said it. Whenever I watch Brits my brain just starts turning everything into a British accent until I can no longer tell who has what accent (including my own inner monologue) so I fully thought Blair had a British accent. 100%. I am American. I can't recognize my own fellow countrywoman. Why am I like this??
I’m British and I didn’t register her as non-British. I don’t know if it’s because she has such a, to my ear, ‘mild’ accent that I couldn’t place anywhere in particular and defaulted her to British, or if it’s because I’ve consumed so much US content that some US accents no longer stand out to me as distinctively ‘foreign’.
I hated that which is heaviest brain, lungs or heart question Me (a fool)- ‘that’s harsh for the snakes because it’s obviously lungs’ Answer is- Brain Everyone- that was harsh on the snakes everyone knows that
"I hate lying. But, I think it's easier when I'm not lying about who I am and I'm just lying on a fact. Because yeah, I get to just spew nonsense and hope that other people will join in!" - Totally agree with that statement. Going about life lying about who you are is lying to yourself.
Though l'm going to stop doing this for current videos as they've decided to integrate the talking heads into the uncut versions, I've decided to go through the entire playlist in chronological order, for Patrons taking a walk down memory lane I present the timestamps of the talking heads: 7:14 Sully 7:32 Jon ☝️☝️ Consecutive 10:44 Blair 11:38 Jon 15:15 Jon 15:31 Tom ☝️☝️ Consecutive 17:34 Laurie 18:40 Adam 19:48 cutaway swoosh (funny to me) 21:42 Laurie 26:09 Adam 27:52 Blair 31:03 Laurie 36:23 Blair 36:46 Sullivan ☝️☝️ Consecutive 39:08 cutaway swoosh again 39:16 Adam 39:32 Tom ☝️☝️ Consecutive 40:46 Tom 41:06 Jon ☝️☝️ Consecutive 43:33 Laurie 45:08 Blair 45:25 Adam ☝️☝️ Consecutive
I love playing this game, every time there's an animal question (not sure if the Swedish version has different questions) it's so easy for me to get points, regardless of which team I'm on. If I'm not a snake, I just day the right answer, but if I am a snake, I already know the answer and can make one of the wrong ones sound like the right one. When your ASD hobbies pay off 👍
If I remember I'm gonna post this every Board Game Club night. 😁 You guys playing Mansions of Madness and Role Playing your characters. I'm sure Adam will get the kick out of that, maybe with costumes too!
When they were talking about the oldest board game, I thought that Go was Red Light, Green Light for some reason and I was like "well that MUST be older, it's not even a board game!" lmaoo
Scotland was the obvious answer for question 3 after the table discussion. No snakes at the table tried at all to steer anyone away from Greenland or Norway. Everyone on the table was kinda happy with going with one of those answers.
Have none of you ever seen the David Attenbrough documentary where he shows you the birds and talks about bird's nest soup being one of the most expensive items in the world?! It's David!!!
the scotland one was easy to me like from what i know about their language there are Lots of different words for the same thing a lot/different words for slight differences in a thing
the way no one believed blair with the anatomy questions even though they could clearly see the proof 😭😭 exactly how it feels to be the only woman at the table hahhahajk
About the phobias question, a good counter point would be that, because heights have been a thing for longer, the human species had more time to get used to it, and since needles and flying are "newer fears" it would be believable humans fear it more
About 14:00 just in case no one else has mentioned it, Sully's claim that "there aren't that many inuits in Greenland" is not true: close to 90% of the island's population are inuit (it's my impression that the Danish people there are typically either teachers, employed in the turism or transport sectors, or scientific researchers). Also, Greenland is actually green - in the summer months! Think lush green hills and valleys justaposed with not yet melted snow and rocky landscapes upon which the towns are built. The icecap isn't green, obviously, but there's a surprising amount of grassland for a country which is most often depicted by icebergs and polar bears.
For the most common phobia, it could have been pointed out that sharp, pointy things have been around for the entirety of our evolutionary history, too. A needle is similar enough to a long, pointy tooth or claw that it could have been a valid competing argument. You could go even further by going further back in time to whatever ancestors we had that lived in the trees, since they likely climbed high to get away from the scary, needle like teeth or claws of predators, overcoming the lesser fear of height.
I agree Go is definitely older in the way we think of it. Lumping things together because they have the same name but are entirely different games feels off. It's like saying all the french King Louis's had the same rule because they are all called Louis

I feel like that card was just Incorrect. I’m certain I’ve heard that GO is the oldest game. What a bunch of witchcraft!
Tom having other human friends came as a shock ngl.
Love this series guys, keep it up. This was a great game.
That last question was a genius play.
NRB is the most wholesome community......
Blair runs this game like its nothing
I didn't know Blair was a Super Saiyan.
Sully’s Blair impression sounds an awful lot like sock Sullivan…
35:57 - All Climatologists and Epidemiologists just sighed
Why?
Fun Game!
About the phobias question, a good counter point would be that, because heights have been a thing for longer, the human species had more time to get used to it, and since needles and flying are "newer fears" it would be believable humans fear it more
About 14:00 just in case no one else has mentioned it, Sully's claim that "there aren't that many inuits in Greenland" is not true: close to 90% of the island's population are inuit (it's my impression that the Danish people there are typically either teachers, employed in the turism or transport sectors, or scientific researchers).
Also, Greenland is actually green - in the summer months! Think lush green hills and valleys justaposed with not yet melted snow and rocky landscapes upon which the towns are built. The icecap isn't green, obviously, but there's a surprising amount of grassland for a country which is most often depicted by icebergs and polar bears.
For the most common phobia, it could have been pointed out that sharp, pointy things have been around for the entirety of our evolutionary history, too. A needle is similar enough to a long, pointy tooth or claw that it could have been a valid competing argument. You could go even further by going further back in time to whatever ancestors we had that lived in the trees, since they likely climbed high to get away from the scary, needle like teeth or claws of predators, overcoming the lesser fear of height.
Damn Adam, that was impressive
I really wanna see you guys play Chamelion
Ngl, this game looks ace
Looking it up Jesus appears in more movies and t.v shows then sherlock holmes. By a factor of 5.
For those who are wondering, it's swallow's nests, and they're expensive because they are extremely difficult to collect.
I would argue that Go question was incorrect.
I agree Go is definitely older in the way we think of it. Lumping things together because they have the same name but are entirely different games feels off. It's like saying all the french King Louis's had the same rule because they are all called Louis
