Wow
This is so cool
Tom scot against London against mrwhostheboss
Wait, Tom scot having a sponsor is a very strange sight
Or Russell Square - except down!
"RUclips guy, I know you"
The most British reaction possible to seeing an Internet microcelebrity
"micro"
he's a macrocelebrity
Enjoy the parakeets!
Microcelebrity? Wdym?
He's a celebrity period, although not an A lister obv
RUclips celebrities have much more reach with the current generation than any of the traditional TV and movie celebrities. Its just how it is now
Tom saying "Of course I got a receipt, it's a business expense cake" was not something I expected to hear
And it wasn’t bad carrot cake =)
The pop up tag obscured the duck so we couldn't see if it actually got the cake.
...was the carrot cake a lie 🤔
This entire second channel is an elaborate scheme to have tax-deductible fun
I was sitting here wondering if they added getting receipts to the rules just to slow him down a bit :D
That carrot cake was a breakout star.
Tom: "Can you give chocolates to ducks?"
Siri: "CONSUME DUCK"
Tom: "Alright, new challenge."
CONSUME PRILOSEC
I had to hit pause on that one to regain my composure.
@@xLuky PRILOSEC IS WHAT YOU WORSHIP
@@sajitorio5731same
Getting a business expense receipt for every single item in a time-sensitive situation was PEAK Tom Scott
Major inbetweeners vibes "I'VE GOT A RECEIPT!!"
Just grab a scrap of bread from the bin and call it done.
The moment Tom got on the bus only to find “the driver has been told to wait at this bus stop for a short time” is such a wonderful plot point from a British spy film in real life. It’s so relatable yet so Bond 😂😂😂
Equal parts spy film and sitcom.
More Johnny English than Bond though
Exactly, what are the odds? Funny thing is that if I saw it in a film I would have found it unbelievable.
@@Meeminator the timing when the bus left was perfect for dramatic buildup
@@Lucas_van_Hout true that entire bus scene was so perfectly timed
"RUclips guy! I know you!"
Tom being a gentlemen and politely excusing himself while wishing them a good time with the parakeets.
This was the best XD
It's remarkable that that was caught on camera.
Such a pro.
"RUclips guy! I know you!" sounded absolutely like an Oblivion/Skyrim NPC bark
@@IgnacioLosiggio "Wait, I know you..." "You must be making a mistake." "There's no mistake... you're that You Tube guy - you're awesome!"
Saying enjoy the parakeets to anyone who recognises me from now on
was not expecting dodie here but yes, this is wonderful
Bonus points if you have carrot cake in your hand!
Love your song monster
hi dodes
????jsjjsjs
To me this video exemplifies the importance of editing, and also of an entertaining host. Technically Arun never got close enough, yet the tension was palpable throughout and the entertainment value was strong.
Spot on.
The editing is very similar to how they do The Amazing Race. The last two teams to arrive at the pitstop are almost always shown to be in a neck-and-neck dogfight even though they're like 30 minutes apart
Yep! Very true.
He got quite close when Scott was in the Bus
It's acting and exaggeration and lying. Sad to see.
Tourist: "RUclips guy"
Tom: [politely] "Also in the middle of a chase game, enjoy the parakeets"
😁
That's a solid identification.
@Mininongg 7:10 *
I've been watching RUclips guy for years now, love him.
The only way it could have been more British is if Tom had said weather instead of parakeets.
that interaction absolutely obliterated me lmao
Those stairs were nearly the end of me 😂
A valiant effort!
Hoping to see more Collaboration videos with Tom.
It's good to see you ♥️
@@Ed.E true hero!
You were soo awkward in the end... But it was nice to see the collab
In reality, a person unknowingly having a tracker on them wouldn’t be running. Therefore, it would be easy to stalk someone and even log their daily movements. A stalker unless impatient could create the perfect opportunity
Exactly. This is closer to a played up, Hollywood type chase sequence which throws their conclusions off. Disappointed by the end but overall fun video
@@LunaSolarysAD they mention that exact thing at the end of the video, saying how if tom didnt know he was being followed, it would have been a lot more difficult. obviously they exaggerated a bit with the title, but they do know and clarify that its not exactly your average stalking scenario.
I laughed so hard when he said: "Okay, let's hope that they can't-- Oh, would you like some carrot cake?!" all of the sudden!

The juxtaposition of Tom panicking about being caught up with and Arun just going "I'm gonna have to google a lot of places" at the start :D
"I SHOULD HAVE GOT A TAXI, YOU IDIOT!" - Tom
"i ' m j u s t g o i n g t o e n j o y t h i s p l e a s a n t v i e w" - Arun
Tom: Panicking about time.
Arun: Struggling to find an exit and climb stairs.
Edit: Timestamp; 3:55
The juxtaposition of the freedom we used to have, compared with the total and complete blanket surveillance is more of a concern. RIP privacy
@@suedenim6590 that's not what juxtaposition means but you do you
@@tspander get yourself some armbands for the shallow end of the genepool tom 👋
The camerapeople need to get more credit here, rushing around in London must not have been easy
Aruns oneespecially with his choice of neverending stairwell.
@@InsanityPlusOne I wonder what they were thinking. Probably being a local of London, they must've had the urge to warn Arun for both their sakes but didn't say anything for the sake of the job. Respect
The real challenge was "Can you film someone stalking someone with an Apple AirTag?"
One of them got some cake, at least
13:17 They really do 🤣
Really enjoyed this because it's like a real-life version of my favorite board game, Scotland Yard. It's a hidden-information game where a team of detectives try to track down Mr. X while occasionally getting updates about his position.
Apple might have accidentally created a fun new real-life version of Scotland Yard with this!
It really is
@@davidjohnson9186 not _quite_ as fun
I have a board game called haiti, it's not very good
I love this game!
I like how tom was absolutely paranoid at the start all while Mrwhosetheboss got trapped in the backroom of subway stations
Tom running while ID'ing birds is peak Tom Scott.
But if you want the nutrition information of said duck, then it's a piece of cake. :D
It is ornithological to his interests.
@@ToddTevlin You... I have no words, take my upvote.
When I say "Ornith", you say "ologist". Ornith..
@@GumSkyloard ologist!
"Why are you giving me the nutrition information for a duck?!"

Human: "No!"
4:50 for a repeat, 5:01 for instant quote.
interrobang :D ‽
The camera work in this was simply amazing. When Tom left on the bus and the camera just sat there for an extra second or two with them both in frame was masterful. Great work by all involved.
time stamp?
@@rain596 13:17
which means the camera knew where Tom was?
@@Lodosj I'm thinking this was done in editing after dude.
It's not even the same bus at the same time my dude. It's called editing.
Have a look in the background..
This was surprisingly thrilling. Also... rather unsettling how easily he could have found you if you WEREN'T actively evading. If you think about it in terms of, say, running errands about town, there's a lot of traveling to a place and then lingering there for some time while you complete your errand (shopping, waiting on line at the dry cleaner's, etc.). It would be fairly easy for someone to keep tabs on you that way.
7:14 Despite himself desribing "being bad under pressure", Tom still immidiately responds to a fan as being "in the middle of a chase GAME", to reassure he's not in real danger.
I like to imagine the amount of confusion that fan has, thinking he’s just seen Tom Scott running from the scene of a crime
@@HarryParkin Tom Scott is still at large. He's been one of the London Police Department's most wanted criminals for years, on the charge of flying a kite in a public place.
"Hey you the RUclips guy?"
He said he was bad at strategizing under pressure.
Responding to something like a fan saying hrllo in the moment is a very different skill-set and is right in Tom's wheelhouse. Such skills were likely well honed on student radio.
The editor making sure to get Tom saying ‘Can I have a receipt please’ every time was hilarious 😂
The receipts have to be in the video so Tom can get a tax write-off on his tax write-offs.
I tried a modified version of this with my brother a couple days ago where there's no time limit and we just send screenshots of our location on google maps every 10 minutes but also have to send a picture of each task which gives the seeker a clue as to where you are. It might be my new favorite thing to do.
Okay so we've had Arun chasing Tom in London and Tom chasing Arun in Nottingham, we need to see a spy vs spy version where they both have tags and tasks and ultimate goal of photographing the other without being photographed in a city neither of them are too familiar with
✨Manchester
Why do I fee like carrot cake is not even the weirdest thing Tom's accountant has seen him submit as a business expense.
Two (2) Tesco garlic breads (for sending to space)
Because it probably isn’t even close to it.
a drum kit to throw off a cliff
I reckon the fact they were to feed ducks makes it weirder though
Because it's a very ordinary thing to do.
"Why are you giving me nutrition information for a duck‽"
the raw emotion in that line
Upvoted for the interrobang.

@@scoutamongus6248 press the ‽ key

I love how Arun is in some distant place in London while Tom is trying to see if you can feed chocolate to ducks.
13:19 This one shot has to be one of my favorite things I’ve ever watched on RUclips. The whole bus event seemed like something strait out of a movie!
Tom Scott: learns parkour and bike riding as part of this series
Tom Scott: uses none of these skills
Arun wondered if Tom might have used a bike... Having seen that earlier video I'm less convinced (middle of London; time being of the essence etc)
@@dg2908 surely boris bikes would have made getting a bike trivial
@@Number1tnfan683 I'm sure Tom could get a bike, but less sure he'd want to ride it
@@dg2908 that’s a fair point

The amount of birds that were not ducks was astounding
I was disappointed there wasn't a tit
I was also surprised! I probably would feed a geese instead of duck 😅
as a brit, i can safely say this must've been faked, i've never seen any of those birds in my life!
@@-YELDAH You need to update your duckware.
@@stewartmackay duck? Where?
14:07
that gopro grab and run part made me cackling idk why
this irl manhunt was very entertaining to watch, great job on this video haha
I play Pokémon go everyday
7:11 I love how Tom was just called the RUclips guy
Most Londoners think of him as Only Connect guy.
Omg the youtube guy!!!
Arun is such a consummate professional and youtube superstar, it was quite reassuring to see him as a country bumpkin who gets confused in the big city and takes the stairs at Covent Garden like a rank amateur. Also, hats off to the editor.
Never did I ever expect Mrwhosetheboss to be called a "country bumpkin", haha!
Oh dang, good shout on the the editor call out. I took them for granted until you pointed out how well edited it is. Ain't that just the editor's curse?
Rohin, have you stopped uploading now that you're a big shot consultant?
Only thing he's "professional" at is clickbaiting
Wouldn't say country bumpkin. He's from Nottingham which is a fairly major city. It's fair enough as London is a completely different beast to an outsider. I spent about 3 hours trying to understand the tube map when I went!
I love hearing Arun talk; he's so well spoken. Keep talking, please.
Yessss 😂
Not particularly, it's just his accent. He doesn't even know the difference between "who's" and "whose." His username annoys me every time I see it.
Por qué no los dos? 😂
@@mydogeatspuke he has explained why the channel is named "whose" the boss . I think it was in an anniversary video from last year
@@danischannel I don't make a habit of watching every video someone I don't like uploads just on the off chance they explain why they're so painfully illiterate, but thanks for sharing nothing of value.
If Arun was fitter, chose to run more, or knew London better, Tom would be caught. His whereabouts were known almost every second above ground. Oddly, wide open spaces are where you are away from people, so were probably the best place to be untreaceable if your own iPhone was off or you don't have one. Great vid.
Please do this again but with a role switch! I’d like to see Tom- the one with all the London knowlage- methodically tracking someone who’s completely new there! Loved it!
Yea thatd be cool
Or maybe 2 in a novel city!
I would love to be chased by Tom. I've never been to London. With my luck, I'd take a wrong turn and wind up in Wales surrounded by lonely shepherds
yes this. I think Tom would do way better
@@karlovisttimes8271or this!!!!
That "Oh do you." was just... perfection. The amount of polite sass in those three little words was just incredible.

@@mooodlemip4779 12:30
That will be my ringtone now on!🤭😂
Big props to the camera people for running with them
"He's a bit of a rogue character" "is it okay to feed a Milky Way bar to ducks?"
"Today on I Identify Birds..."
I'd watch an entire video of Tom frantically identifying birds. Sounds like great fun. Throw in a crow or kookaburra to cackle at misidentifications; it's a made show.
When I say "ornith", you say "ologist." Ornith!
Ologist!
Now I want a second episode of this where Tom Scott runs around London feeding and identifying birds.
"Tit! That's a tit!"
That's what I'm saying! Tom Scott Plus Birds. The birdwatching episode. I'm convinced Tom can make anything interesting to watch
Honestly, the short minute of time between Tom on the stopped bus and Arun about to find him was the most suspenseful thing I've ever seen.
You haven't seen a lot of movies have you?
Spoiler :(
Good tension music added
I was more stressed and invested in that than I've been about any action movie I've ever seen.

It’s nice to know Apple is providing the necessary tools to help stalkers and criminals.
Its not like other gps trackers exist
@@damiank9219 It is not a GPS tracker. It is bluetooth and uses GPS of all the nearby Apple devices. So if you are in the middle of a desert, it will not work.
@@s.lingesan So, in theory, if you're in a country with really low percentage of Apple devices it won't work as well?
@@revirdkcalb Yup.
I mean Criminals (Frauds) always support criminal activities so....
Props to the filmers who had to keep up AND worry about where they are pointing the camera
Seeing Tom this flustered, tired and paranoid is honestly hilarious
I think it could be improved by adding the Sherlock soundtrack🤔
It's the most flustered we've ever seen him.
“aaaahhhhh traffiicccc”
*scoots across road*
Still has the time to ask for the receipt
3:29 calling Tom a "rogue character" is such a compliment! And with this channel being a door for him to get even more skills is a testament to this description.
1.1k likes with no replies?
Rogue? No, he's multiclassing.
10:57 I found the frame of tom scott in the thumbnail
“why are you giving me the nutrition facts for a duck!?” 😂😂😂😂
interrobang‽
This would make a good Taskmaster task.
If not “Alex chasing the contestant”, then maybe a team task with one team chasing the other (all team members must stay together, so they decide the order as one)
Is there a google equivalent to this? there was some sponsored content with taskmaster, desiree and google assistant last season, so maybe that could work
Or make it a team task where the team of two has the task, both teams know it is a team task, but they start from opposite sides of london and cannot call one another.
So while it is a team task, the difficulty for the chased ones is to not do the same task twice, and for the chasers not to follow the same guy all together
I would be surprised if they don't do this at some point, it's a fantastic task idea
I'd love to see it, but I think Alex Horne decided against doing tasks in public places after series 1.
They've already done a few hide and seek or chase related tasks at the Taskmaster house or in a private location though.
@@cloud_appreciation_society He’s against doing tasks involving the public (e.g. the series 1 high-five task) to avoid it looking like a prank show, but tasks can happen in public places if they don’t involve the public, like when Mel went to the Baby Gap.
Mad respect for Arun for taking the stairs. Even more respect for the poor camera person trying to keep up and shoot at the same time. Proper nail biting stuff when they passed eachother!
@@davidc756 wrong emoji.

@Travel Xplorer its like 200 stair, so about 10 normal floor
@Travel Xplorer taking them whilst pursuing someone and taking *those* stairs is noteworthy if not respect gaining. I made the same mistake as a tourist - they never seem to end.
@Travel Xplorer Taking the stairs a Covent garden is a mistake you make only once.
We have all done it because we thought it was quicker than taking the elevator, once.
12:50 - maybe don't sit at the window side?
12:30 genuinely crazy that this wasn't planned it really added to the drama
This seems like one of the most fun gameshow concepts, honestly. Would love to see it done again.
Kinda reminded me of "Mission Germany" back in the day, just on a much smaller scale. 😅
A show like this already exists called Hunted where people have to out run private investigators. It’s very similar to this
Honestly, this reminded me of Take the Money and Run game show, where the escapers had a bunch of cash and they had to hide it. The tracking team would get their GPS info afterwards, as well as be allowed to interrogate them. If the cash wasn't found, the escapers got to keep it, and if the search team (actual law enforcement people in my local version anyway) found the money, the escapers lost.
If you have Nebula, Sam from HAI made a very similar show and it's great. If you liked this, you'll like the HAI one as well.
There used to be a somewhat similar gameshow in Sweden, back in the days when not everyone had a mobile phone and phone booths still existed in every tiny little town. The escaping team had tasks they had to carry out which would give the chasing team clues to where they were; every Friday they had to call in to the studio from a phone booth somewhere and stay on the phone while the chasing team hurried to get to the right phone booth; and they had the added rule of not being allowed to cross their previous path ever, while having to stay on Swedish soil. It was SO much fun to watch. The silly Mission Impossible vibes and random shenanigans ...
I love the perfect match-cutting between Tom and Arun, from Tom getting ahead to saluting a guard at Buckingham Palace while Arun slowly suffers from using the stairs, to Arun triangulating Tom's position while Tom and his cam-op enjoy some business-expense slice of carrot cake. Whoever's the editor, I thank you.
Perfect use of a sit screen with dialogue alternating wonderfully.
This was genuinely one of the best videos I have ever seen.... Thank you so much Tom and Arun and the team who worked behind the scenes to make this video awesome...
"Why are you giving me the nutrition information for a *duck* ?"

Who the heck takes the stairs at Covent Garden?! I knew it was all over at that point.
Not Just Bikes responding to a Tom Scott video? You're my two favourite RUclips channels! Jason, maybe it's time for a collaboration with Tom on this channel? Maybe you can teach Tom a thing or two about Dutch cycling infrastructure?
The ultimate schoolboy error.
Yea that is 15 stories worth of steps!
Me because I'm just weird in general.
Taking the stairs is the equivalent of putting together a door with only a multitool
Why would you?
"This is a business expense slice of carrot cake" most wonderful tom scott quote ive heard all day
well anytime you can claim it, you claim it...
Tom and camera person commenting on the deliciousness of the carrot cake was surprisingly wholesome
This guy is so low iq with his mask
To be fair in London you wouldn't get much change out of a tenner; they takes the piss these cockneys.
Waiting for a t-shirt with a pictire of a slice of carrot cake that says "Business expense"
Just the collab i needed omg.
You two are such big rolemodels for me, seeing you collab makes me so happy:)))))
imagine you're on a train in London and suddenly you hear Arun from Mrwhosetheboss running behind you screaming "Tom Scott where are you??"
This actually proved air tag can be used to stalk someone quite effective, considering tom was running and trying to get away while arun was so close to him.
And also just kind of going on a leisurely stroll while Tom acted like he was on a most wanted list

"Why are you giving me the nutritional information of a duck" made me chuckle louder than I thought it should.
12:40 "Oh! Do you?" That was just pure comedy gold
This was a powerful reminder that humans are pursuit predators and that if this game didn't have a time limit and vehicles, that Arun would have caught Tom eventually just because Tom's frantic panic would have exhausted him and Arun could have casually jogged up.
I once heard that humans are "persistence hunters". They get their prey by just running them down.
interesting
Seems like a good trait to have
proceeds to get tired from stairs haha
Except that Tom is in obviously better shape than Arun.
If there was a longer time limit and no rule that Tom can only take a method of transportation once, I think Tom could do all of the tasks by spending most of his time in the tube
5:00 Took me off gaurd XD
This confirmed nearly every fear I had involving this device's conception, but did make quite a fun video. Still, be careful out there.
eh to be honest GPS trackers have existed like this for years and are more effective because you won’t get alerted by Apple that it’s moving with you. Nothing’ll change
@@exigency2231 I'm well aware they've existed, but it's still concerning to see so many produced at this price... conflicts just waiting to occur.
"youtube guy, i know you !" is possibly the weirdest way ive ever seen anyone interact with a youtuber
And ending in "Enjoy the Parakeets" while running away
This was so fun! Honestly, I would highly enjoy if this became a series: different locations, different tasks, and maybe even different methods of tracking.
I one hundred percent agree, the idea of this is fun and entertaining!
you mean the tv series Race around the world?
YES I was just about to say this
If you're Dutch: Jachtseizoen van Stuktv is a similar concept.
I totally agree!!
This is the best possible colab I could have ever asked for.
how mental would it be to just see tom scott running by you yelling back “enjoy the parakeets” lmao
I actually feel like realistically a stalker would just watch someone’s daily travel over weeks and months and find a place that they go every day and choose that spot to intercept them
@VaderxG but with airtag is much easier, especially with how accurate this is.
That's why many stalker use it these days
Stalkers can’t use this though because it tells the person who’s carrying the AirTag that it’s been travelling with them and it isn’t theirs
@@Nextburjalarab But, if I'm understanding how they work, if the person they're stalking doesn't have an iphone then they wouldn't know unless they found the airtag and knew what it was and then found someone else with an iphone. I guess that'd still be a very risky endeavor for the stalker though, unless there's a way to spoof the account tied to the airtag.
@@Nextburjalarab Only if the AirTag stalkee has an iPhone.
@@RGGeek if they find it they can use I think nfc to figure out how to disable it. If not apple has put up an android app to detect them.
This could easily become a series. Really nicely edited too.
And as someone who’s been caught out by the Covent Garden steps, my congratulations to Arun for not using all the allotted time going up them.
"Can I GPS Track a Local???"
rip cameramen legs
How many flights is it?
Well, Yes to the series
If you want to see something longer form on a similar concept, Half as Interesting's Crime Spree is on Nebula, which has a 3 day time limit, and various tasks across the US. Some kind of similar "scavenger hunt with a chase" seems like it would be a great weekend thing to do with some friends as well, tbh.
It's worth noting that in the real world Tom's iPhone should tell him that an airtag not attached to his Apple ID, and not attached to the Apple ID of anyone nearby has been consistently near him. Just incase anyone is worried about actually being stalked with an AirTag. While still possible there are some features that try to prevent it. Great video idea nonetheless!
And if you're an Android user but one of the strangers in a nearby house has an iPhone? I pick up their Bluetooth speakers occasionally when connecting devices so they'd be close enough to ping off the tag. They could even stalk me if they wanted to. I'd have no idea because I'm not an Apple user.
@@mydogeatspuke Currently if the AirTag has been away from it's paired device for a certain amount of time (3 days) it emits a sound notifying those around it of it's presence. 3 days isn't exactly great but at least it's some form of protection. Maybe that could change in a software update.
@@GrahamSpeed 3 days is more than enough time to monitor someone going home, note their address when it remains stationary, drive up in the dead of night to check it out, perhaps even take a day to watch someone's goings on and make sure it's the correct target, acknowledge any neighbour's security cameras, plan an entrance, and cause serious harm. People have managed to kill those they have stalked and get away with it with far less information. People used to just be responsible with their belongings and accept that they done goofed if they lost them. All this technology to help people take less responsibility for themselves is just making it dangerous for everyone else. I have no idea how Apple managed to get approval for a tracking device that can only be located by pinging off the devices of total strangers nearby. This is genuinely terrifying in the wrong hands, and it doesn't even take any particular skill to use.
Apple: screw any victim not using our product
Plus the speaker can be disabled without much trouble
2 of my favourite tech presenters finally paired together! I hope for more of these types of collaborations
Tom is running for his life, Arun is casually walking around, mostly confused.
I feel like a better stalker could have found you.
Arun is a boss stalker don't disrespect my boss
you spoiled it
Full respect for the editors, this must have been a nightmare to edit and put together
Definetly respekt to the editors, they did a great job! But honesty, this seems like kind of a fun edit to me! 2 hours of footage (plus intro and outro) isn't that much and there was a lot going on, so picking out the funniest moments and piecing them together seems like a fun task to me...
Lmao it's easy af to slap a video together and throw ads into it. Capitalist pigs
It's just two hours of footage and GPS coordinates though.
Funny, I was watching this and thinking - ah, a nice easy editing job! Everything is already in sync!
Tom running along shouting “where are the ducks!?” 🤣
Was so enjoyable to see two of my favorite RUclipsrs in a single video !!
When I heard him say maybe Tom took a bike. I laughed to myself and said "Tom only learned how to ride a bike a couple of videos ago and may still not be good at it yet."
"We should have play tested this."
"Absolutely not."
Perfectly correct.
The camera guy was a perfect character for this.
Displate is either a cheap painting, or a expensive poster. Being in between, it luckily inherited both their best traits. So I can really recommend it. 👍
9:41 Pause to read what's on the protective leaf. Their mounting system does indeed perform poorly on structured walls, this is no joke or understatement.
That thing will come crashing down at the worst time.
BUT, it luckily does stay put when you replace their mounting system with nano-tape.
It's cheap, re-useable, and your best alternative to keep your Displates from falling off said walls. So don't let the original system prevent you from buying one.
look at 6:56 on the video theres two people just looking at them🤣🤣😂
whoa, didn’t expect a tom scott and mrwhosetheboss crossover episode! arun’s channel has become one of my favourites for fair tech reviews, and, well, tom is tom!
Definitely
Next up, MKBHD and Jim Browning
They've met before on Disconnected.
Britain is a small place.
This. I was going to say the same, but a second or two of thinking led me to see how many other folks had had the same thoughts!
This more answers the question "Can you HUNT someone with an air tag?" - And even so: I feel Arun wasn't taking this quite as seriously as Jason Bourne's cousin, Tom.
(ornithology was on point though).
When I say Ornith, you say Ologist.

Really really enjoyed this one. Great video as always Tom.
Great collaboration!! Love seeing RUclipsrs collaborating on fun videos!
Hearing Tom Scott get annoyed and say "Oh really" is just so funny..
It was oh, do you
Better yet, it was at an automated announcement
...and now I am reminded of that elevator joke sketch
This has the vibes of the pilot for a series I'd watch the heck out of.
There is actually a dutch series very much like this. mostly celebreties of different kinds (singers, actors, online personalites), when the chasers (there's like 3 of em in a van) have to try and catch them. Getting their location once every so often (like once every 30 mins).
There's a british TV show called Hunted were people try and evade a group of private investigators to win £10,000
And before Hunted, there was Wanted, where they had to do challengers and end the series in a phone box they couldn't leave...
@@Gemaco1397 There was a similar show in Sweden back in the late 90s, where a celebrity was trying to track and secretely film a pair of contestants for a week, while they tried to complete daily tasks. There was a phone number you could call to snitch on the contestants.
Half As Interesting has a Nebula original very similar to this show. It's called Crime Spree. It's just a few episodes, but very good in my opinion.
This video was TENSE!! Loved it
