    Ellis was actually on the right track about mufti scholars. Back in the day British soldiers in the Middle East or India who weren't in uniform used to wear Muslim style clothing because of the heat and it was nicknamed mufti clothes because they thought it made them look like the mufti scholars walking around. Eventually mufti just became slang for any civilian or non-uniform clothing, hence mufti days at school.

      I was about to comment about Ellis' understanding of Mufti (which is, yes, a Muslim scholar, especially who deals with rulings/fatwa for problems that muslims come to seek answers to). Didn't know that it is also a slang for the clothings they wear. Thanks for the info.

    I love how we get to see nick's little touches here and there throughout the videos, and how much he's grown as an editor! The like and subscribe in the background looked amazing, like it was a part of the cityscape and the text size increasing when Ellis panics and the text flapping across the screen when gabby laughed, all those little touches make the video even more enjoyable and also add an extra level of depth to their conversations. Great video as always guys, you never fail to make me wheeze laugh!

    I can never get over how amazing views like 0:17 are.
    Just standing on the edge of a seemingly endless drop, unable to see the bottom from the smoke and clouds floating past, sliced through by dozens of vehicles flying through a harmoniously chaotic manner, from tiny surveillance drones to enormous transport ships, with blue and red lights from flying police vehicles lighting them up.
    Ships fly around carrying thousands at a time between sectors, dropping off workers heading to jobs, businessmen talking in earpieces, students heading home or gathered in groups. The streets and walkways are always packed, some with people rushing to get to their destinations, others taking their time. Old women gather on porches to talk, police officers in body armor keep an eye out, and kids run among their neighborhood to play what few activities their parents allow.
    You are just one of them. A single soul wandering through a never-resting world.
    And towering around you are tens of millions of other people just like you, in a labyrinthine megastructure where individuality fades away, overshadowed by the millions of homes, millions of lives, millions of individual stories to tell, all simply part of a massive, ever-ending entity.
    To try and fathom it at all is impossible.
    So all you can do is focus on your own life, and the lives of a select few close to you.
    One of billions of pieces, like a single grain of sand in a sandcastle, too small to matter; for there is simply too much going on.
