- Why was there a bit of grain and noise in the most recent season of Citation Needed? Here's a story, a motto that definitely isn't for use in your regular everyday life, and also a complete false start.

Matt and Tom unfortunately, my location's far from UK. Any chance of remote attendance.
Can I have a representative show up on my behalf with a picture of my face taped to their head?
Oh, boy, do I wish I could come, but unfortunately: US.
I'm from Austria, but I probably will be in London for MCM Comic Con. So if the recording would happen to be around then I would apply.
I hope it's on a date far enough in advance I can get the days off and book a flight. Because I'd be coming over from the Netherlands.
"Don't worry I'm not gonna start doing a podcast." *has been doing a thing where he and another person and sometimes a guest talk to each other for an extended period of time with little to no visual content for just over two years*
I know I'm three years late, but it's funny because I work nights, and I've recently been listening to this as a podcast; phone in my pocket, earbud in my ear
... and in 2022, he started doing a podcast.
@@myladycasagrande863 yep. it's called lateral.
Also I suppose you could say you had some "Technical Difficulties" in recording
+
I knew someone had said it. It was just one of those things that couldn't not be said.
Mystery Biscuits!!
o yeah!
Ba dum tsss
That's a Matt Grade pun.
*Matt*: I’m Matt
*Tom*: I’m Tom
*Bench*: I’m the Bench
Ben Garcia *Bench*: And this is the Park Bench
He seats pedestrians you know, it's Park Bench
Everybody's Favorite Park Bench, Park Bench
And the bounciest seat in the countryside, Park Bench
why am i picturing the experimental stuff being dungeons and dragons in the kitchen
Danny Robinson yessssss
I would watch the hell out of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd watch that
Cause you're a giant nerd and so are the boys 💙
One of the reasons I love watching Tom's videos is that he didn't get lucky and fall into a niche. He loved/loves to create and experiment and tried really hard to get to where he is. If other youtubers are lottery winners, then Tom would be a statistician poker player.
He kind of worries me though, because he doesn't just try really hard to be personally successful, he also tries really hard to do it right and be fair to others, spending money on captioning, carbon offseting, and the like, while turning down more money from sponsors. If the other RUclipsrs are lottery winners, then Tom might be a statistician poker player. But if the other RUclipsrs are sleazy salesmen, then Tom might one day end up uncompetitive :(
@@neolexiousneolexian6079 Oh, Tom is a fantastic salesman and he knows it. Maybe he doesn't show that in videos but the work that has to be done behind the scenes to do what he does is insane. I'm more worried about the mental toll this might have on him as humans in general are sh*t at dealing with stress.
I'm not convinced there wasn't a lot of luck involved too. I mean all the good things you say are true but he got lucky by having friends like Matt Gary etc etc... and I don't think he would be anywhere as successful w/o them.
I mean on his own Tom has a bit of a tendency to say all the right things are concerning, all the bad things are bad and generally be a bit TedXish...and that's fine and good if it's balanced by enough other videos that show him as a normal grounded person and I fear w/o Matt et al he'd start drifting into sententious prick category.
So yah hard work and all the things you said but also being lucky enough to have some great friends.
The way he said "don't worry, I'm not gonna start doing a podcast" feels so perfectly set up to flash forward to him announcing a podcast next year.
I think the joke was that he said that while physically in the act of recording a podcast. (The Park Bench)
Aaaaaand now, we have the Lateral podcast
Tom: "Some of it worked, some of it didn't. But it's all getting pushed out at some point."
Glad to see they've figured out that we're more interested in what didn't work over what did.
In this episode, the park bench gets embarrassed and tries to blend into the background more and more as it goes on.
Thumbs up for Tom's call out of Matt doing an amazing job on the audio
I didn't notice the glitches at all.
The video problem that I saw was only about a pixel wide at 1080, so if you watched at a low resolution there's a good chance it was entirely removed from the video.
I didn't either, and I've got a good eye for this sort of thing. However, I was watching on an iPad mini so maybe it wasn't visible.
Hmmm, "experimental stuff", "back in the kitchen". Does this mean we're getting *The Great Wiki Bake-Off?*
The Technical Difficulties attempting to cook food based only on their Wikipedia descriptions. Strictly no recipe books allowed!
I want this.
I need this.
Now that I'm seeing it, I want it.
It would be a beautiful disaster.
Please.
We could end up with some serious mystery biscuits there xD Love the concept; I hope this happens!
Experimental you say, is it time for Techdif ON ICE!?!?!?!?!?
Henry Park Bench on ice!
With Panthers?
ntlespino
Rather that than covered in bees, I suppose.
Covered in experimental Pantha-bee hybrids.
Techdif ON ICE, with Panthers covered in bees- in space.
I don't think there's one episode of Citation Needed that has failed to make me tear up from laughing so hard. We'll keep enjoying them as long as you keep making them!
Good grief about those who complained. High video quality isn't necessary for enjoying Citation Needed. I frequently watch it at 144p resolution (to save on data).
Scott DiMiceli same here
With the glitch, it was mostly people saying, "I hope my computer isn't dying, can other people see this?" People were actually suggesting watching at lower resolution so that the problems wouldn't be reproduced in disturbing detail.
I'd listen to a Tom Scottcast.
Well, good news, that's basically what this entire channel is. It's unscripted talking about a variety of topics.
Nixitur But it’s not longgggggggg.
+
Dgsslfrvssgfvb ebhfh fugfhvfefbbgg - That's what she said.
I haven't seen Citation Needed but it looks like a podcast.
Honestly I miss the kitchen, and honestly I don't watch Citation Needed as mush as I listen to it. Usually it shows up while I am doing chores arround the farm, and hit play on my phone and stick it in my pocket and listen.
Robert Calhoun Same with me
Another same here. Do lots of DIY work and it's great just listening to you guys rabbiting on while doing something mind-numbing like painting.
Talking about technical difficulties on the Technical Difficulties
James Hyndes technical difficulties ception
Quick, write a wikipedia page!
Talking about technical difficulties on the Technical Difficulties on the Technical Difficulties... which then experiences technical difficulties.
"Don't worry I'm not going to start doing a podcast."
That one didn't age quite so well.
I LOVE the experimental and game show type stuff, so I look forward to more of that. I guarantee that whatever it is, most of us will enjoy it! I've yet to see anything from you guys I didn't enjoy.
Isn't this basically the Tom Scott podcast?
I didn’t notice any of the issues you mentioned. The content was good, I enjoyed it. Looking forward to a return to the kitchen.
It's RUclips. If people expect perfection, they are being silly.
Absolutely love Citation Needed. It could look like Minecraft and I'd still watch and be as entertained. Don't sweat the minor details.
Honestly Tom (and Matt), it looks great. Not everything needs to be Hollywood level 1080p Hi-def. Citation Needed doesn't need to be visually spectacular. To be completely honest, the old kitchen set-up, with you four on the square table is still my favourite. Anyway, good 2018 to you guys!
I hadn't noticed all the issues, because i mostly listen to it. More like a podcast
Citation needed since I've found it last year has been an absolute day stopper. *Phone buzzes* "Oooooooooo, Mystery Biscuits!" *Drops everything*. Thanks for the lovely content and we'll happily deal with these little errors!
I was one of the people commenting about the video quality, but more out of curiousity what caused it. Not because it bothered me. To be honest, audio is faaaaaaar more important. Often, I 'watch' the episodes in a podcast fashion. So Matt: Good job! (Take the credit!) and Tom: You've done a great job editing. A minor visual 'flaw' like that is no problem.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to start doing a podcast."
For your information, Tom has now started a podcast.
But the fluffy hair looks great on you, Tom.
I liked the kitchen episodes better, the audience is somewhat distracting and it just seems more akin to 4 friends having a laugh and hanging out
Don’t be bought down by something you can’t control Tom. At the end of the day, this was the fault of RUclips, both in the uploading and the recording. This was not your fault and at the end on the day there’s nothing more that you can do about this. Keep making your content because you always make us laugh, no matter how much grain is in the video.
how does one go about being 'bought down'?
I feel like I've said this before, but the only thing I can ask of you gentlemen with regards to Citation Needed or any other content you produce, is simply to keep working towards things you genuinely find fun. That element of enjoying what you're doing as you record it comes through. I can't think of any forced jokes or painfully scripted content, it really feels like you're a bunch of people having some fun and a laugh together, or talking about technical subjects that you're genuinely interested in. There's a passion and interest there that I enjoy; That's what's brought me back every time I see another video posted.
Thanks for all the great content you two have put out, together and individually!
"not going to start doing a podcast" *smash cut to 5 years later* "i've started a podcast"
Genuinely miss the Park Bench a lot. Although I completely understand that you guys stopped doing it when it stopped being fun / enjoyable, which takes a lot of will honestly - and I have a lot of respect for you guys' ability to make such a decision.. But it'd be absolutely lovely to still have it around. Miss this.
Podcast? I'd listen.
Id listen to they too...
This show is a podcast. I tab out and just listen.
There was one years ago! Bring it back people!
I CON- *ahem*
I concur.
Check the TechDiff podcast that they mentioned (the reverse trivial pursuit).
The Park Bench is a podcast. And I enjoy it thoroughly, rambly bits and all.
What I want is to see is Tom back on Only Connect with Matt and/or Gary and/or Chris!
Seriously, seeing Tom there in season 3 got me hooked :D
I loved the last two series of Citation Needed. I miss the reverse trivia game (and wish it had a catchier name), as it is great fun to listen to when driving. It was great seeing the guest panelists (especially since I see them on other channels, aside from their own), and it might be interesting to have an entire series with just guest panelists (maybe Geoff Marshall and Jay Foreman). I will say, I still enjoy kitchen shows, and look forward to what your brain(s) have conjured.
I must be the only one who has never noticed any of these glitches?
I didn't either till I got tired of reading all the comments about it, and went back to view a video to watch the area mentioned.
Seems unlikely that we're the only two.
I freely admit that when watching Citation Needed, I'm more listening to it than actually gazing raptly at the screen - there are exceptions, but it's mostly an excellent radio format (like a lot of panel quizzes) that gains a bit from being able to see body language, facial expressions, etc, but nothing essential...
I didn't realise thats because I mostly just listen to the audio.
I saw the glitch I assume they're talking about. It looks like blue-ish lighting on Tom's red t-shirt causing a speckling effect. I guess that's the 'noise' they talk about in this video. I also definitely saw the window/dot illusion every damned time.
Oh I should add that noticing these things didn't diminish my definite enjoyment of the shows at all :) .
I think you're describing an uncanny valley between "looks like a youtube video," "looks like a youtube video that is trying to be a tv show, but is clearly failing," and "tv show"
“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna start doing a podcast.”
Tom in 2022: “f*** it i’m doing a podcast”
Oh boy, a Matt and Tom podcast!
I kinda noticed a bit of grain, didn't notice the dot illusion - but when the content is that good, who cares?
In an attempt to make you guys feel better: I didn't notice any errors in the audio or video of the last two series of Citation Needed. I watch it for the laughs, not the technical precision. As long as the content is entertaining, I could care less about the "quality" issues.
I totally understand that lots of people want to watch a live recording of Citation Needed, but yeah, the kitchen recordings just seem to have that bit extra. I think being in front of any sort of audience holds you back a bit from the sort of risky things you might do in front of your mates. Hence, I'm really happy to hear that we are going to see some experimental kitchen recordings Sometime Soon(tm).
Experimental idea: Video of Tom getting the haircut.
I don’t care about video quality it’s citation needed
Will we ever return to the kitchen? The audience is lovely, but I have a soft spot for that kitchen.
Edit: oh, I should listen in further before commenting
same
happy new year, Matt and Tom!
But I still listen to the podcast once every few months!
I'm glad I'm not the only one, I've found them (and this) excellent background listening.
The park bench is about what I'd want out of a Matt and Tom podcast
I'd like to see the next park bench presented from a pair of barbers chairs while you both get a hair cut. Either that or Matt just cuts Tom's hair in a random park...
To be honest, I preferred the kitchen setup. Moving to a studio audience has changed the dynamics slightly. It felt much more relaxed and natural when you were just larking around in the kitchen.
FWIW, I didn't notice anything at Citation Needed. And enjoyed them thoroughly~
The only 'issue' I noticed with the episodes in question was a slightly heavy use of blue lighting, which was odd. Apart from that it looked fine, you've both (all?) done a fantastic job. I can't wait for the new stuff, both Citation Needed and back-to-the-kitchen.
Nick Bond Yeah I remember thinking a couple times "huh, that's some intense blue shine off Tom's hair".
Just discovered you guys about 6 or so months ago and I must say not only is this series gold, but so is citation needed. Keep up the good work and I'm excited to see what you guys do in the future.
all the things you guys do make me really happy. I appreciate the outlook on life that you share in these videos, and I appreciate the really high quality (not just A/V, but writing/concept/execution/etc.) stuff you create elsewhere.
Happy New Year Matt and Tom! Citation Needed is one of the funniest and most interesting things on youtube, keep up the good work! Edit: I'd totally watch a podcast.
Every time a new Citation Needed comes out it's always a treat. I fell in love with the series a long time ago and really appreciate all the work you guys put into it.
I didn't notice the glitches either. I came for a good laugh and wasn't disappointed. I have made friends laugh by listing it as one of my favourite Christmas presents so thank you. Happy new year and keep on being awesome.
To be fair, I didnt notice the glitches, and they usually stand out to me
Will and other Matt, were also hilarious. Thank you guys very much for citation needed, I REALLY loved them. Happy new year;p
Very much looking forward to the experimental stuff, thanks for both the Tech Dif stuff and the other content you guys have created both this year and before!
I enjoyed the kitchen just as much as the RUclips studio. I honestly never really watched to series because of the video quality. I enjoy the interaction between the 4 of you guys and the occasional guest. So keep the series coming you have real gold with this stuff
I'm surprised that at the end of this video, Matt didn't respond "It looks like you need all of them cut."
No, thank you Tom, and Matt, and Gary and Chris to all of you, and those who helped you as well from youtube. the laugh's you've provided have been enjoyable and always help me feel better even on the worse day.
Citation Needed Live is so amazing. Huge congratulations to you guys.
All of this makes me so happy.
You guys ever thought of trying to do the show at the Edinburgh festival? I think it could do well
i love citation needed. as much as the educational stuff is amazing its still my favorite thing you guys do
The game-on series was brilliant! Yes more please yes.
you gentleman do a great job!!! thanks for all you do.
Any chance for linguistics videos to come back in 2018?
Yes! Please!
Geon Quuin
Probably not, even though I’d love that.
he did say he wouldn't due to others doing it better and the effort it takes not being worth it
Tom's said that he almost certainly won't make any more of them because other people have since done a better job than he could. I think he also prefers making the sorts of videos he makes now.
So excited for the experimental stuff guys, can't wait. And if you actually made a podcast that would be so awesome
I can't wait to see what Tom does this year
Well it is great to hear the story behind some of the artifacts. Thank you for telling us!
Matt does do a bloody good job on the audio. Thanks Matt!
I mean... I never noticed BUT I love how this shows your commitment and tenacity to how you hold yourself to your own standards! Was amazing just glad to have the content and a good laugh! Thanks guys
Happy New Years from Australia
Yay! More kitchen stuff!
I'm pretty jazzed about new stuff from the kitchen. Anything that's you four goofing around and having a laugh is going to be great fun for me.
Oh, my days... I don't know whether to be scared, nervous, or excited about the "experimental kitchen show" XD
Me in 2023. Sorry to break it to you Tom. You did start a podcast
I also really liked the game show series, along with the historic board game you played at the museum, and the billiards style pub game. More games!
I love your guy's style, it's honest and real and not trying to be more than it actually is. It's a internet gem and I hope to see more random stuff from you guys.
I love citation needed and I am looking forward to your kitchen experiments!
I watch Citation needed for the content, and while sometimes you can get a bit off topic, that's why i love it.
9:56 "Don't worry, I'm not going to start doing a podcast." That didn't age well...
We do keep enjoying it!
I always love to see the experimental stuff. Maybe some of it I wouldn't watch regularly, but I've never regretted watching at least the pilot episode/season.
"I'm not going to start a podcast"
proceeds to start a podcast
My boyfriend and I are always thrilled when Citation Needed comes out. This past season looked great and we loved it! Thanks so much for everything you guys do!
Me, rebinging all of Citation Needed because I ran out of TechDif content: what grain
It was all great, I didn't notice a thing. Plenty of laughs and I'm looking forward to your experiments.
I love 'Citation Needed'. Please keep it up.
Given that Tom seemingly likes to subvert expectations, I wouldn't be suprised for a Tom Scott podcast to suddenly appear in the near future. Have a Happy New Year! (Note: this does not only apply to Matt and Tom, but everyone watching the video too)
Thanks mate!
Happy New Year to you too!
Everyone is posting their overly ambitious new year's reolutions today, meanwhile Matt and Tom...
What I love about the two of you as RUclipsrs is that you don´t just stick to one thing. It is lovely to see you try out new stuff, so looking forward to 2018 with you lot.
Tom, I've always been a fan of you but I didn't know about this channel . Very cool stuff. And Matt's awesome!
