    To be fair, Gary's description of HURCON was so bad that as someone who has spent his whole life in hurricane areas, I didn't believe him either, and had to look at the article. He had the scale backwards - HURCON isn't related at all to the category 1-5 of the Saffir-Simpson scale, but is a countdown of how long you have until the hurricane hits It's a military term (it's not used by the general public), very much like DEFCON, and like DEFCON the lower the number, the more imminent the threat. HURCON 5 is "you have 3 days until the storm" and HURCON 1 is "The storm is currently on top of you". I think he managed not to give a single item from the actual article other than "Hurricane Condition"

    Scoring idea: Since the game only really works when the person telling the truth is trying to convince Tom they're lying, make it so the game is everyone vs. Tom. If Tom guesses correctly he gets a point. Otherwise, everyone else gets a point. If Tom guesses incorrectly, the person he thought was telling the truth gets a bonus point.

      The game explicitly does not work if the person telling the truth is trying to convince Tom they're lying. Whoever Tom guesses gets a point, regardless of whether they were lying or truthing, and if they were truthing then Tom also gets a point. Gary is very much playing against the idea of the game when he tries to convince Tom he's lying, and while the results can be amusing, they're also rather frustrating, at least to me.

  • @clockworkkirlia7475
    @clockworkkirlia7475 4 года назад +18

    Matt's accidental truthing (about geography of all things) and Gary's childishly devious manipulation were absolutely hilarious! Brilliant stuff. I've never seen a man dismantled so effortlessly by *anybody's* favourite Gary Brannan, let alone *everybody's* favourite Gary Brannan. Speaking of which, kudos to Chris in the second half for nailing the precise sort of "something you may not have known" that is guaranteed to make you want to pick him, even if it ultimately failed versus Matt's truly magnificent tale.
    Also, Scandinavia is becoming your new France, as regards wheel-spinning and the like. As a Scot and thus historic best frenemy of both areas, I very much approve. I'd like to see the return of the tongue-twisting alliteration gags though... I'm scared that Matt might explode without the creative outlet.
