not even 1 week *_S M H_*

The Green Monster: But in the picture on wikipedia, the car is green and red

Can you change the format so that everybody gets a chance to guess who is lying? Also, I love Gary, make sure you let him know... :)

@@shantanusinha2828 I wonder how that would work, since one knows the truth

Is that not how it goes every time? See Hurcon, Duryard, Lule Sami to name but three

@@simonro9168 Duryard!

Also I thought the name was Evangelia, not Evangelina!

Don't you mean "arching"? 😂

*Gary: prepares to look smug so on some occasions he can yell, "F#&K YOU!" As Tom chooses the incorrect person twice*

Matt: „Is everybody ready? Recording check. Audio check.“ Tom: „Gary. I’m going to rule you out.“

Not *every* episode... sometimes he just quietly strikes Gary's name from his notebook.

@@TheGeladoo * quietly but flamboyantly

A few years back while seriously drunk, a housemate of mine showed me a video of a dog running, but then giving up halfway and falling onto its side. I don't know why, but that video broke me. I couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour. Breathing was horribly difficult, the muscle aches in my abdamen was excruciating, and if I dare view that video to this day, it will do the same. It isn't a special video, but just a video that felt too metaphorical and has ruined me. I feel for him. This is torture and he wants out, but once the image is in your head, their is no escape.

Azivegu now I want to see that video.

And there are shoes. And there are boats. And there are...

@@laurentcardinal2745 There are flags, and there is water, and hoses and there are doors, and there are antelope.

@@spectrallik well, here is the code: T98V6Zr1MvI Again, it isn't particularly special, but for me the stars lined up and it was destructive.

The truth hath been spoken!

Poor thing was broken.

The rhyme has been awoken!

This man needs a token

For being well spoken

A bow does kind of arch when it is drawn?

@@57thorns it bows

That doesn't how boats is!

@@Dabbleatory I remember seeing that video, hearing those words, but I don't remember the name of the video....please help

@@jblakeplays2541 I'm pretty sure it was Matt in one of the Citation Needed episodes, but I don't remember which one.

This stuff is his origin story. Look up his early techdif stuff if you haven't seen it.

haha pissing

Time for the Matt Gary Cock joke special

@@flyinhigh7681 big binder of knob gags innit

The Portfolio of Pornography and whatever the hell the World Leaders' Cocks Special from the Reverse Trivia Podcast was immediately come to mind.

Chris knew if he dropped that fact bomb Tom would immediately guess correctly. He was just giving Matt and Gary a chance :)

Ed Hamey I think it was more like the opposite. Tom get’s suspicious if there’s too many facts.

Probably Chris has looked it up once before.

He reads books, y'know.

The point of the game isn't winning, it's not letting Tom win.

Johnny Vegas gives a master class in comic timing, dripping in a series of punchlines just as his audience was recovering, in a promo slot for The Last Leg. Worth checking out if you can find it.

​@@qwertyTRiG it's been a few months, time to watch it again.

It certainly was high-pitched!

Mystery biscuits!

@@DDendrite Oh yeah!

I wonder if u gave it to his friend, would he be able to hear if they edited it?

@@scottish-hero6664 RU-vid trims the audio of videos, so sound outside the range of human hearing isn’t saved.

@@oxybrightdark8765 but they would have the raw file wouldn't they?

_sighs as I realise what I must do_

Oh god dammit, I guess I have to do that now...

yeah i really want to now

"unpleasantly awake"

And I didn't even get it

@@georgedoty-williams2085 Russ Abbot, the comedian.

@@qwertyTRiG Yes, I know it relates to Russ Abbot, the person. I simply don't get what about the statement "he's not even a real Abbot" is so funny.

@@georgedoty-williams2085 I don't think there's anything deep to it: just yet another amusing line.

@@georgedoty-williams2085 the whole absurdity of it, obviously they are talking about a real person, but the line "he's not even a real abbot", as if they were talking about a religious rank :D

Surely you mean playing with the band Lentokenttä?

@@michael_gibbs Playing the music called lentokenttä with the band lentokenttä in lentokenttä

@@bastiankunz4585 the google translation of that is the funniest thing knowing that video

She's a formidable musician to be able to play an airfield

@@demonking86420 It'd be like that highway that they tried to cut grooves in so it played music as the cars went by (and got the spacing wrong twice), but on an airfield. Maybe it's tubes shaped like organ pipes positioned near the runways so that the wind from planes taking off blows through them...perhaps there are different size tubes mounted on discs like giant pitchpipes, and she plays the instrument by remotely directing motors in the bases of the things to rotate the right note into position.

I may be wrong here but is it not maybe open captioning?

I would refer it as Hard Subs, but maybe because that is also my tinder username.

Oooo Firewatch

Nice pfp

Here's the real question - if one of them HAD described that Green Monster, and Tom had guessed it... what would happen?

Also, checking Everybody's Favorite Reliable Source of Knowledge, as of this comment, there is no full article entitled "The Green Monster," and said page with that name is a redirect... to the article on the wall. And the second and third links on the associated disambiguation page are for Wally (the Red Sox mascot, for those who don't follow baseball) and -- today I learned -- a 2008 mystery/thriller novel about the '04 World Series.

@@Haights it's under "Green Monster (Automobile)" giving the full page name would have given it away though

@@rayhs1984 Though the disambiguation page lists it as "Green Monster (car)" which, in turn, redirects to "[...](automobile)"

@@Haights Also sometimes wikipedia redirects articles a little differently based on your location

You have more balls than me, I had to pause the video to prevent that.

On the contrary, I had no idea what they were talking about and it seemed like just toilet humour so I just skipped through all of that.

It just occurred to me how these giggle fits go on for so long... hypoxia! When you get to laughing, you can't breathe. If you can't breathe, hypoxia sets in. When hypoxia sets in, everything seems especially funny. And when everything seems especially funny, you can't stop laughing. Stop uncontrolled laughter. Get DirectTV.

Gary should never be left alone to his own imagination, Citation Needed proved this many times.

@@dustysparks so that's why he laughs to heck when presented by "the green monster" despite not too related to the previous laughing matter

Accurate, every time Gary was about to get himself under control, Tom came in with another line to keep the momentum going.

Wait, you're here and no one noticed?

this comment went unnoticed for 11 months, I think that's a new record!

Damn you would make a good spy being hidden for so long

*w h e n w o r l d s c o l l i d e*

I'm glad i wasnt the only one

Chris "that seems very plausible" Joel Gary "Imma rule you out" Brannan and Matt "I got a Latin GCSE" Gray

@@thelastcube. Hahahaha perfect

Isn't it the basis of Emily in Thomas and friends, or have I just mixed the locos up?

@annoyingginger5077 You'd be correct

@@annoyingginger5077 The more he described the train, the more I was just going "That's...Emily". Not to the point that I didn't believe Gary, since as you folks have said she was inspired by a real train. For some reason TechDiff content has been bringing back memories of Thomas content I haven't watched, read, or otherwise experienced since the two-thousand-oughts.

That massive wheel (or rather, pair of wheels) was part of its success as an express engine; bigger diameter = more speed, so a single pair of enormous-diameter wheels let it go bloody fast for the day (also helped that unlike the Caley single or the Lord of the Isles class, it was outside-cylinder). Of course, the downside to it was that only gave it a single driving wheel to brake with, so it was sh*t at braking at speed. That was found to be a factor in the Abbots Ripton disaster being so deadly, and gave greater urgency to fitting passenger trains with continuous brakes.

@@ZeldaTheSwordsman Yes and also in contestion with what Gary said, the Big wheel actually does not help with traction. The reason why Express engines have big wheels is so that they can go fast, like real fast. Goods engines like a 9F, have smaler wheels, to aid in traction. Also Flying scotsman has somhow less tractive effort then K36 and K37 steam engines, who are narrowgauge Steamers from the former D&RGW railroad il collorado... HOW?

Same here

@@hukuzatuna Verified with 64 subscribers?

TRiG (Ireland) I know. Magic,

For multiple perfect scores, don't they use average distance from center?

@@totally_not_a_bot Yes, there is some additional rule about such in regards to tie breakers.

Today on the Bench do the arrows get removed from the target between shots or are they trying to slam 72 arrows into the board and just splitting arrows left right and center?

@@Aieieo No, they do remove them. The 72 shots is divided into rounds. A lot of archers' don't even bring 72 arrows with them to the tournament.

If I remember correctly, 72 arrows is about how many a medieval archer was supposed to bring to a battle, about 3 sheaves worth.

Find someone who talks to you the way Matt tells Gary he sounds like a choking dog

I'm sure Matt is chuffed to hear that a RU-vid viewer thinks his voice is arousing. I wonder how accurate his fantasies about your identity are. ☺

Maybe ask Will Seaward? ...Panthers?

Just a super cut of all of Gary's intros

@@FoxDren I'm lying in bed all week with nothing to do, don't tempt me

@@Maggsi_ Tempt.

@@Maggsi_ I will be patiently waiting.

guys. I did it.

Would it be considered corpsing in the context of this video?

Yeah, I feel really uncomfortable when somebody can't stop laughing, it's this strange primal reflex to "flight or fight" when someone close to you is making such noises...

This might seem weird, but I could swear he was acting it up. Like at 9:09 I just jumped out of the moment because the laughing seemed so faked.

Considering Chris "got pins and needles from laughing" last series, I fear it might be Matt's turn next time.

@@C.I... nah

He also made a video recently about how investigators can use the mains pitch in audio to track the exact time something was recorded.

He raced pulling tractors? I'm impressed.

@@qwertyTRiG : Jet-powered ones, even. There are videos.

@@BrooksMoses Wow

Brilliant!

Congresswoman Palin Version?

I know, they could have actually put the stirling on.

Probably couldn't find a decent picture that was also Creative Commons

I mean, he's not exactly wrong; I can't find any record of a Stirling Single being given the nickname "Green Monster", but they are indeed green, had monstrous proportions for their time, and by accounts from some footplate crews they could be a beast to handle; there's a reason most steam engines have a raised steam dome rather than putting the regulator valve inside the boiler barrel close to the water as Pat Stirling did on the Single, because it makes them very easy to "prime" (water gets in the steam lines, goes into the cylinders, all manner of bad things can happen ranging from the hilarious, geyser of sooty water makes the engine look like it's vomiting, through the horrifying, water jams the throttle valve open so the train can't stop, to the catastrophic, water can't compress so the cylinder basically explodes.)

The stirling singles weren't even named

Its almoat like there is a world beyond merica.....🙄

@@craigstoner2632 the land speed record car is listed as The Green Monster (car) so i think the wall is more well known

Hell, Tom just kept egging him on. As a friend should. 😀

I salute your efforts during this harrowing time.

And thus gets no points! :D

Don't let these so called morality standings hold you back. Follow your dreams, dammit!

Yup, okay, I'm calling 999.

I think you need someone else with a bow too, otherwise it's just "unsportsmanlike conduct", "reckless driving" and "murder".

@@peter_smyth It wouldn't be murder. Not with my aim.

I also don't have a sunroof but that just adds to the challenge 😂

Would be interesting to have seen a fan of Major League Baseball accurately describe the wall, only to still technically be lying since they didn't select the article.

@@seamussc easy, describe it accurately but add in that Fenway Park is named after the MLM toy company Fenway and that the Green Monster is named after one of the toys

Disambiguation Needed

Chris is the me person in this group,

That would be nice. Could we also bring up the discussion on why the Dory stuffed fish changes location for each video even though all the videos were shot on the same day?

@@samuelcornett1307 I'm so glad I'm not the only one wondering about this

I just saw this episode the second time, and only now noticed it. WTF.

Spoiler

@@billtr96sn Added in a warning, sorry about that!

Yeah I think I've seen it too.

The thing is massive compared to the long and pointy everyone else was doing.

@@duckrutt Yeah , I know I've seen Goldenrod a few times and comparing the two is wild, it's hard to believe such radically different looking vehicles competed for basically the same thing. Must've needed balls of steel to step into either of them, as well.

that was my reaction too, also the wikipedia page talks about Fenway, do they have a different wiki over there maybe?

@@karatheythemharkins2393 well there's a disambiguation page, and there's only one English language Wikipedia. (Not including simple English)

The other two don't base their answers on Wikipedia. They literally just invent something that could go along with the title. Also, Fenway Park? Not that famous outside the US.

True, but if you know the topic you expect one to be talking about that subject. Matt: [Not Subject] "Okay, it's Gary or Chris" Gary: [Not Subject] "Ah, so it's Chris that has it!" Chris: [Not Subject] "WHAT‽" As for the Fenway park thing, I also agree, am nowhere near Boston and have an ambivalence about baseball. Doesn't mean it's not some weird trivia fact that I know.

@@DasGanon two of them have to be lies. Only one truth allowed. So can't have anyone talking about the wall at Fenway Park if they didn't pick that subject.

It has a bit of The Unbelievable Truth in it, too.

I loved that part xD

Yeah why wouldnt it apply to one of the other 190+ countries that also exist on rhis earth 🤦🏼‍♂️

We have a word for that in Swedish - "kiknar".

I sound like a dying seal when i laugh

Corpsing.
