Hi

Wait you found a way to time travel 1 day back??

Genuinely love you guys. You are a vibe.

Btw love your content, Tom

^it was an unlisted video.

We watch all this but will keep up lamenting anyways ;)

But you two have the most awesome chemistry. It’s like you’re actually best friends 😂

Crap, I didn't know Tech Diff had a KZfaq channel! Subbed.

I do love seeing content with you on your own and with the TechDiff folk, but it's just not the same when you aren't seated on a park bench. I shall lament the loss of the park bench.

I can't be the only one that misses the Park Bench though Matt!

Or smutty innuendos and puns

Yet somehow, this is the best.

Ahh is that how they met! Thanks!

I think of it like "Tom's video style meshes with another KZfaqr's video style for an episode" and that sorta works to include this one. Tom + someone else = something highlighting that someone else's work. Tom + Matt = a standard-issue 'Matt and Tom' hangout session.

uni? feels like middle school (us grades 6ish-8ish) XD;.

E‎

Reminds me of their trip to Bro forever ago.

its no drums and cymbals falling down a cliff, but itll do.

No park benches or eclipse geoguesses, but still charming.

Now what we all need is a 2022 mix of "We flew a kite in a public place"

Have you seen his adventure on the Technical Difficulties channel yet? He gets to do something he's wanted to do since he was a child.

It was so, so wholesome 😭💕

E‎‎

The only thing missing would be, if one of them was named "Former UN Secretary Ban Ki-Moon"

It was a real hoot.

We flew a kite in a puuuu-[video cut]

I can’t wait for their follow up album featuring “We flew bread to the edge of space.”

@@DestructivelyPhased yaaaaaa

GOD DAMMIT NOT AGAIN I THOUGHT I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT

I read that with the tune in my head

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎E

if they had a couple more friends they could play games together!

They blew one up specifically because they got tired of that.

@@ramppappia That's a great idea! They seem quite interested in the aesthetics of computers and broadcasting, maybe they should call it something along the lines of 'The Technical Difficulties'? I dunno, just an idea

@@thinkublu They could guess play a game where the guess a wikipedia article. Still just an idea

that would be a fun side project!

I mean - it is a good viaduct!

@@hebl47 B+, I heard! 😂

@@itsafunnyoldworld I think it is a clear B. The metal part looks nice, but it changes material, seemingly without rhyme or reason 5:58

why NOT a duck?

Honest B+

Does "viaduct" mean something different in British English? I was under the impression that a viaduct is a location where the road dips downwards to pass under something, but it didn't really look like that was going on

@@rubegoldbergguy9909 It's a bridge that crosses something else than a river / body of water. Railway over road, road over road, narrowboat canal over railway, and so on.

But important, where was/is it?

@@jiversteve Roughly near Oxted in Surrey , on the A25 from memory. One of the higher rail crossings of the North Downs by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway.

so pratt's bottom is a noble valley, gotcha

oh right, thanks for reminding me, I'll go watch sometime again

Link to the video?

@@godtiermtg The video is called "A Park Bench Public Apology"

​@@janeweber8654 Watch the "what's in our bag 2019" or something. It got a bright border in the thumbnail as one of the only ones. Honestly it's all gold, just go watch the playlist

"Matt Gets In A Giggle Loop For Two Solid Minutes"

It's so on brand for Matt I didn't even questioned it.

yes

No explanation needed. It's Matt.

It gives me so much joy that they never explained that

I was like "of course he's got a party hat now"

I love how your channel picture is a bird of prey. Did you visit and then edited it or are you a bird person?

@@thomasvanwely The bird of prey picture is from London Zoo in 2013, it’s always been my google profile picture. I *did* go to the bird of prey centre a few weeks ago but I wouldn’t say I’m a bird person.

E‎

Yes, there is a 100% chance that'll end up in a compilation. It's funny how, even without a script, Tom ends up with the same speech patterns.

Also "I am currently in southern Switzerland"

But is it Former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon?

And dangerous

Someone should make an edit of just the phone call jumps!

Cracked me up every time!

I mean he did hold a pair of hooters so for me it checks out.

Deep inside all of us is an eleven year old schoolboy desperately trying to escape.

E‎‎

I usually use captions all the time when watching TV/Netflix/Hulu/etc but I stopped with KZfaq captions a few years ago because so many people either didn't have them or used auto-generated ones which aren't the best (though a few times I've used them to understand a word I couldn't quite catch) I cannot overstate how much I enjoy captions like Tom's and, if more people had this kind of quality, I'd happily switch back to using captions. Not that that impacts anything, in the grand scheme. I'm not Hard of Hearing, I just enjoy having captions when I need to listen at quieter levels or, and especially, if they're detailed with other sounds included like "[Laughs wickedly]" or things like what you mentioned, with the music and Tom's agony-sounds haha!

‎‎E

@@Kitteh.B this is the great thing about accessability options, they just make things better.

And of course, putting "soaring anthemic hopeful music" is perfectly within the type of comedy acceptable from the captionist. Perfect example of making a great joke without actually telling a joke or inserting editorialism into the caption.

check out the captions on Hames Joffman's channel. He does "unhelpful cuts" of James Hoffman videos, and the captions are also hilarious.

Matt and Tom is a dead archive-only channel now. The Technical Difficulties have their own channel and any other video of Matt and Tom doing something together will apparently just go on Tom Scott Plus as well.

@@hammerth1421 well it still feels illegal

@@hammerth1421 I mean, TOTPAL wasn't long enough ago that I'd say 'archived'.... yet

@@diarya5573 Oh the group is still doing stuff, just not on that channel.

@@OrigamiMarie No I know that but it just hit me that TOTPAL ended 10 months ago, it feels like 3 or 4!

I'm imagining them laughing like Beavis and Butthead. Heh. Hehhehheh.

Where?

@@tastygold I suspect it's the Italian phrase he says is "never gonna give you up".

Yep, "Non ti abbandonerò mai" = "Never gonna give you up"

This is just two old friends inviting us along on their silly road trip, and I love it.

they have an entire channel of themselves

I forgot how much these two bounce off each other.

What is a car but an unparked bench?...

@@CaptLoquaLacon It's just a bench that hasn't stopped yet

I'll admit I was hoping they where going to find a bench at balls cross.

they're in a moving bench, going to a park

they flew a kite in a puuubliiic place......

@@advanceringnewholder We flew a kite in a public place We flew a kite in a puuubliiic place

Hooligans, shoulda been arrested for that :)

They contrast each other.

They enjoy each other

I grew up at the top of a cliff. One hot day with a light breeze I went out there to enjoy the view, and a swift decided to come say hello. Just hovering on a thermal at about ankle level checking me out, like you said maybe a foot away. I've found they and other agile flyers are absolutely fearless around me, I assume because they know that even if they're a foot away they're maneuverable enough to not get grabbed.

I think you were blessed by some kind of woodland spirit.

@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 Well I certainly look like I've just crawled out of the woods...

They're so lovely and i got so excited when Hades showed up

It really works well, a combination of Tom being a great presenter and up for anything plus really enabling the guests to shine!

Also the channel's format is not bound to anything. It is highly unscripted and Tom can simply be Tom.

Matterialising rude jokes! Your observation was way funnier than my attempt at a pun

I'm not sure whether Matt should take this as a compliment or an insult.

We also had a Cock Inn, as well as a Blue Ball and The Bell, which was located at Bell End

Couldn't they adjust the volume? Or did they just think it was funny to have it startle them every time?

@@myladycasagrande863 my car has Bluetooth phone calling and no the ringing volume is super loud I haven’t figured out if it can be lowered

@@myladycasagrande863 All bets are off when it comes to a rental car.

I just imagined them swerving across the road every time the phone rang and the production crew looking back from the car in front laughing at them.

E

When did he rickroll us in Dutch?

@@captainnurbles9169 As Alecsa Copeland correctly stated, he rickrolled us in the video about the Dutch flower auction clock on the main channel

E‎‎

Erm, in Italian?

@@EEEEEEEE well okay then

It's like when the BBC had a dog on and they put a header that said "dog."

Well he did get them to see a pair of hooters

He used to, but then they got tired of sitting on park benches in all sorts of weather so they stopped.

(I honestly can't tell if either of you guys above are joking 😃) They are a very wholesome duo

they should start a channel together!

@@jonavandenbrand2011 Another?

If only they'd known this in advance!

@@ragnkja indeed! Comedic name *and* historical interest 😁 to be fair to them both, not only is Balls Cross a funnier more clickable name, they’d already done over an hour of driving as well as all the other pit stops between, so adding at least another half an hour probably wasn’t worth it.

[giggle]

How dare you attempt to bring logic into this wholesome trip of two great friends?

Or perhaps one of the members of the Pratt family had an incredible derriere that had to be commemorated.

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎E

perhaps even with a theme like, they are always talking at a place that exists in many locations. Like a bench in a park!

It would be cool to see what they could do with them being with Tom Scott individually. Apart from Matt Gray, we have only really seen them as a group.

Matt's giggle loop is my go-to video for feeling better instantly
