WRESTLING ON FIRE?? | Life as a PhD student #26

- I promised you an explosive episode this time! Drunken antics, taking a ride at the fairground, and dudes literally wrestling while on fire. Devon...
If you'd like to learn more about the Tar Barrels they have their own website here: www.tarbarrels..., and there's a really interesting wikipedia article about the village here: en.wikipedia.o...
Sorry about the janky audio in parts of this (yes I know there's a random patch of silence... not quite sure what happened in the render). I think something happened at the fairground which toasted my microphone or at least made it unreliable. This will come back to haunt me in the next few episodes, but for now I've made it slightly better with some heavy processing...
Massive thanks to mega-lad Sally for giving us such amazing hospitality! I had so much more I could have included in that section of the vlog but had to cut out to keep it moving - it was honestly one of the most fun evenings of my life.

I am Simon, a fourth year PhD candidate at the University of Exeter. I upload videos on bits of science which are relevant to what I do, and sometimes just because they're really cool.

This must be my favourite night we spent together. Just look at how much I'm smiling all through the video! Sally is such a nice lady!
That lady is as posh as she is friendly
Greetings from America!!! I am a very big fan of your videos, you gave me the motivation to get good grades and study hard!!! Because of you, I’m one of the top students in my grade!!!
Thank you Simon
2 years later : ?
the microphone sounds like a strange underwater man is breathing into my ears
Best. Night. Ever.
"Everything i say in this house is sacred" - Simon smiles whilst posting it for hundreds of thousands of people to see
The vlogs are simply getting better and better. Keep up the good work Simon!
Those last 3 minutes sounded like a weird dream ...
when you guys entered the house i remembered harrry potter in rons house
Not only the house, but the village is called Ottery St (Mary). Coincidence? I don't think so... HP is real and JK is Rita Skeeter
@@SukiSu68 JK went to Exeter uni so it wouldn't be a surprise if there were links
Congrats on 100K u legend! completely deserve it!
I was just thinking when you will upload another vlog! Yayyyy
This makes me want to do my graduate studies in the UK
Before I started to watch the video, my headphones suffered a strong and furious smack and I thought they were ruined when I got to the shitty audio. You got me there boi
100k! Congrats mate
Congratulations for 100k!!!
This is a really interesting video, really like your videos, because i can practice my english. You deserve more subs.
Brilliant title.
Is it just me or does he look like a young Richard Hammond?
You are going in the wrong way, Simon!!!!! hahahhahaha It´s good to know there are more people who sometimes lost the directions like me hahha #loveit
Who is the guy in the red checkered shirt? I don't believe he has been introduced (he probably has and I've just missed the video but eh....), but he would be an excellent (entertaining) candidate for Beer Mile round 2, or similar activity.
Edit: As with previous such activities, it goes without saying that Dan needs to be MC/commentator for the event.
Congrats on 100k :)
This video was bloody great. However, the music in the fairground completely busted my right earphone. Now, don’t worry, I’m not expecting you to post me a new pair, but if I ever see you in person, please note that I will at least ask for a replacement; shy kids get no sweeties n all that x
Amazing vídeo, as usual.......
I'm on the main street where the barrels go down it's lit lmao
Finally I was waiting all weekend
Simon finally looks like a student again.
As my name is Guy, I used to sit next to the other Guy Fawkes and pretend to be one of them xD
You can say people blew over Guy Fawkes. (*Desperately seeks approval.*)
When do you completely finish your PhD and uni and everything?
100k woohoo!
I use to live there. I miss it.
Your toasted microphone makes it sound like I'm listening to you through a wall...
Are you asking me to remember remember the 5th of november?
that was agood one simon wow!
That microphone isnt toasted, its burnt!
YOOO SOVIET WOMBLE AND CYANIDE BOTH SHOWED THEIR FACES ON STREAM
Sorry Simon but that'll be _centrifugal_ force ;)
Yes I realised this almost as soon as I said it! I spend most of my time working with equations in a rotating reference frame so I really should have known better...
Isn't it centripetal force ? Since centrifugal force doesn't actually exist.
See XKCD 123: xkcd.com/123/ :)
You need to mention/talk like this woman in the next WikiCast.
That lady has got the be the most posh woman I've ever heard. It's almost as if she's trying to put on an exaggerated posh accent.
Did you pursue publications during your PhD or decide not to as you are more interested in pursuing Science communications rather than a postdoc position in a lab?
Partly that, but also the nature of my PhD meant that I wouldn't have wanted to publish until the end anyway. We were proposing a new theory, and I wouldn't have wanted to publish until we had data showing the theory's performance... by which time I then had to write everything up into the thesis!
Ah I see, fair enough! Sounds very different to biomedical research where we race to publish anything of note :)
yaaay
The watch time on your videos must be so long.
I literally died laughing at the "Right, who am I taking home?!" aAHA
I now understand what people mean when they say the British drink too much. It's the only way you come up with this as a national tradition! I never thought I'd want to go to the UK in November but now I do.
Why do you always touch the back of your head when you vlog? You've done it at least 3 or 4 times in the last half dozen videos!
I KNOW RIGHT! I'm totally unaware of doing it until I edit, I think it's my nervous tic when filming
His cpu keeps overheating and there is an air hatch at the back of his head that needs to be frequently opened so his head doesn’t explode
RIP Simon's camera's mic 🙏
Go to 15:20 for some sweet ASMR
My goodness that lady is so very posh
remember remember the fifth of november :)
your microphone IS NOT WORKING ANYMORE
Brits celebrate having a government?
Difficult to believe at the moment, I know...
Get me a guy who looks at me the way this guy (7:29) looks at simon
No one wants that
Edward Dunne BWAAHAHAHAHAHA
Which of python packages you use for plots? MathPlotLib?
R.I.P microphone
hah, Hi Simon !
Bah, who needs health and safety?
Keep the Tash!
You are looking very old in this video
