    He kept the red shirt but Mad Cap'n Tom is certainly something we lost on the way

    Tom's mark on the internet is so wild. Sure, seeing everything he does now is one thing, but everywhere I look, I see that ponytail and "uploaded 13 years ago."

    The fact the interviewer clarified that this was filmed in 2010 makes it a surprisingly thorough primary resource.

    "You have to get 10 people in your constituency to sign and say they're willing to let you stand. They don't have to then vote for you, they just have to say it's okay for you to be on the ballot. And if you have that, well then you can run. And that is something you might not have known"

    What a surprise! Rob, I have been a fan of yours for many years now, the same for Tom Scott, and to widness this crossover, having been filmed long before I started watching any of you, is certeinly a strange experience. Is there any other project where I can find the two of you cooperating?
    Edit: As a non-native speaker, this was quite a challenge for me, grammar-wise, as I am not used to having to use uncommon tenses to convey a message, especially when it is directed to a linguist. Hopefully there aren't any mistakes to spot.
