Visiting the Yogscast at Yogstudios in Bristol!

A little story about the time I made an idiot out of myself on twitter and ended up meeting my KZbin heroes!
Videos featuring the Yogscast will be coming out on this channel soon - we're trying to do stuff combining their style with meaningful science content, which should be really cool! I'm super excited about these collabs - keep up to date with when they happen on my social media (below) :)

Aw look at you simon you're like spiderman meeting the avengers!

[@ChippyGaming]

I was invited down in December to meet them, it was absolutely surreal since I'd be a fan of them since 2010 I fully understand the excitement

[@nunofigueira1226]

well i sure wasnt expecting to see you here chippy xD whens that terraria update coming out

[@LoicReviews]

Nice !! I actually have a similar story with them and I'm about to see them at their studios next months and now I'm totally freaking out.

[@SimonClark]

They're super lovely and friendly - you're going to have a great time!

[@milzyywilzyy9922]

hey and now you were in a ttt episode

[@StarstruckFerSure]

I love how chill everyone is and supportive towards each other. Love the yogscast to death, congrats on being able to hang out with them and thanks for sharing! Looks like a fantastic, unforgettable time. :)

[@AntonioFlores-oh7ue]

Started watching them because of you now I can’t stop, they’re hilarious.

[@AntonoirJacques]

Antonio Flores Definitely check out Hat Films! Whilst on the surface they are expletive ridden, they actually talk about a lot of deep meaningful stuff

[@flimpeenflarmpoon1353]

[@Redhousereject]

Struggling to believe this video actually exists! I have so much appreciation for the yogscast (and Simon of course). Excited for the collab more than anything else right now.

[@SugarcatPlays]

Holy moly congrats! These crazy maniacs are the reason I got over my fears of putting myself out there and built my channel. Thanks for showing the inner workings!

[@spicy_oregano8566]

I would piss myself if I were able to meet the Yogscast and visit the studio. Meeting Lewis and Simon would be a dream come true for me. I’ve also been subscribed to them since 2011, much like yourself

[@Redapple19999]

The most ambitious crossover project since Tina turner appeared with Mel Gibson in Mad Max 3: Beyond the thunderdome

[@vidiia]

first tom scott and sally le page, now this? my worlds are colliding!

[@Vertyng]

You look so incredibly happy, it's great to watch. I'm glad you had such a great day, looking forward to the collab!

[@AhkoRC]

Damn, a video with Simon? Guess it makes sense they'll stick you with the intern...

[@cat9424]

[@harryfeatherston3566]

I can't believe you also love the Yogscast!! It's so weird when you think these two channels are so unrelated but actually the have a colab 😂 I love your channel too!!

[@bog704]

Always ready to support another yognaut. Can't wait to see the upcoming content coming to your channel!

[@Tobberz]

Haha, can't imagine going from classic fan in 2011 to actually doing shit with them 7 years later. Insane.

[@Messaneo]

This was a wonderfully wholesome video ^^ Here's to hoping you end up a member of the yogs

[@underpin_]

Your excitement gives me life. These guys were such a huge part of my childhood.

[@DazarAlor]

This is the first video i have ever seen of you, but i am happy for you mate. The yogscast arent the biggest youtubers. Times have changed and so has youtube, but the yogscast family is still my #1 and still my #1 place to go to every night, even after 8 years. True youtube heroes!

[@7orqu3]

im not sure but I think I THINK Simon has a PhD if only he would mention it once or twice

[@xiuhnani6945]

Simon Lane yogscast.wikia "Simon, perhaps due to his astrophysics studies (despite failing to get a degree),..."

[@Charlieboots76]

What a super nice guy you are! I am also a long time subscriber of the yogs and now I'm subscribed to you :)

[@hamishwoodland7424]

Aha this is so odd to me as I actually am really impressed with the quality of your work Simon (seeing you with Tom Scott the other day for example). So, seeing you fanboy out just as I would have done was so brilliant.

[@TheSlimyDog]

Just watched you playing on Lateral. What a showing!

[@Lolman2171]

....I can't believe you met them.... i'm both incredibly happy for you and jealous! Glad you had a good time, gonna go check out your other videos now 😁

[@tobi888100]

Shadow of Israphel got me hooked on the Yogscast. I haven't watched them in a few years by this point, but they were still a large part of my (Admittedly Minecraft obsessed) childhood and adolescence.

[@pizzadelivery3]

I keep seeing your comments on Hat Films videos, it's cool that you've met the Yogs too!

[@sievoorspoels759]

Having watched a lot of the both of you, this just seems like a real life crossover. It's freaking me out. Lovely video!

[@Zedstergal]

This is so great, I love your genuine enthusiasm. Wish there was more of that on KZbin!

[@ragebasedgaming9139]

It's always so cool to hear these kinds of stories of how someone got to meet their heroes or someone who influenced them greatly and have it be everything they had hoped it would be. I've watched the Yogscast for 5 or 6 years now and would love to get a chance to meet them but I probably never will. Unless some day I can magically afford to drop everything and go to England.

[@lrnmd]

I am very glad you are uploading more and more. Really looking forward to your EVERY video

[@marcusbrady9583]

I could literally feel the same feeling you felt through this video, in fact I just came after watching one of their videos, great video :))

[@Dogtles]

I've been watching yogscast for about 6 years also. To see this crossover is blowing my mind

[@2ears1mouth786]

I used to watch them all the time. Their Survival Island and Shadow of Israphel shows were my favourites.

[@beansdbananaz]

That plane video was so good, ugh, I'm gonna go and rewatch all their other old videos now, I'm actually currently rewatching Jaffa Factory. 😂

[@TinkTele]

Those shots when you first went into the office were really shakey but to be totally honest if it was me in there I dont thing I could operate a camera due to he overwhelming feeling of being there.

[@LB_THE_NINJA]

Our stories are so similar except I'm yet to reach the other side yet (you lucky bastard) But yea your excitement is just such a mood

[@cookieridergirl]

My first Yogscast video was Shadow Of Israphel episode 20. Was my first introduction to minecraft. Didn’t have a clue the game existed or what it was. I never watched content like it before either. I’d watched game walkthroughs before but not really anything multiplayer. So it was only ever one commentator playing alone. Didn’t know much about PC gaming either. No beyond disc you put into the disc tray. I was 11 then. Change my entire world. I then binged watched all their minecraft content. I became obsessed with the game. Though I didn’t end up getting the game until another 9 months later on a PC that could hardly play it. Honestly the experienced didn’t just change my world and really changed my life. Made friends I would have never had met. Had experiences that brought me to travel to England. Non of it would have happened it hadn’t watched the yogscast. Sure I might of still discovered minecraft but the friends I made I would have never met without a random comment about a server I saw in one of their videos one day. Whole thing surreal looking back on it.

[@shufflerproductions5638]

Love the yogscast, they’re my heroes too. Such an amazing opportunity! Can’t wait to see the video you guys make!

[@louisgillet6222]

Mate well deserved, can't wait for more stuff

[@playdust3226]

I used to watch these guys, Tekkit with Duncan, sips co, the Jaffa Factory. And I even used to watch a little of hat films I remember my parents telling me off because they swore ahhaah. Glad you got in to my recommended.

[@Lukeice3000]

oh my god, I was wondering when I subscribed to you, it was on the livestream when Lewis mentioned you. This is freaking me out, how bizarre xD

[@jimmywow99]

I started watching The Yogscast when they uploaded the first Jaffa Factory video , never stopped since and now it’s actually the first thing I do when I wake up, it would be an absolute dream to go to Britain and see them. Kind of jealous lol but I felt really happy watching this video since I know I’ll never get the chance to do this but at least you showed us and gave us a peak of our dream and what it would look like. So I would like to say Thank You. Looking forward to see the video with Simon!!

[@JavRexgteneg2pIift]

Man, I haven't seen that "Minecraft Planes" video in years, NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!!!

[@jakejargstorf]

That’s fucking awesome. I will probably never get a chance to meet them, as I live in North Carolina. I’ve been watching them roughly 9 years now. Consistently. Everyday multiple videos from each channel. I love them and they have brought me so much joy. One day I hope to thank all of them.

[@lavenderwalrus9875]

the entirety of this is super adorable.

[@isaacboww8176]

I did the exact same, I worked out where they were and I was super excited. A week later I realised it was a public address

[@xenophyte]

noice

Love your vids BTW! Doing the lord's work

[@liability7762]

agreed

Random Yogscast Crap Yeah you're killing it! 👍

Very jealous! I've been watching Yogscast about as long too, very happy you got the opportunity!

I found you with this video. Take my subscription.

[@graceg.6040]

Oh my GOD I was so shocked when I saw your thumbnail lol. It feels like my worlds are colliding!!!

[@niros9667]

I've been watching them since the very first episode of surviving the night, all those years ago! I've stayed with them for their personalities over everything else. They're all just such entertaining blokes.

[@davidsweeney111]

You need to turn your channel into a business like those guys have done, amazed that there are so many people having their full time job doing youtube videos...

[@KyleDB150]

yeah but he could also do proper physics things like hes done a PhD for... up to him

[@davidsweeney111]

It occurs to me, maybe he's not very good at physics, youtube is a much easier option ...

[@KyleDB150]

you don't watch this channel much do you?

[@davidsweeney111]

this is the first one Ive watched...

[@Hesus_]

David You don't get to have a physics PhD and not be good at physics lol. What are you smoking kid?

[@NickWithford]

Yes! I started watching in 2010, being 18 years of age it’s been the better part of my life growing up with those people. It’s interesting to think how I can know them so well with they’re little memories, stories and life events yet they wouldn’t know my name!

[@berendsteentjes2258]

I've seen two of my favourite - and least alike - channels in one video. My life is complete now

[@georgem8795]

The collab seems like a great opportunity; looking forward to seeing it

[@dantuskausmas]

This is like seeing two of your friends starting hanging out with each other.

[@hamishmckie1078]

this is a crossover i never expected

[@zakarm1]

HA! this was exactly the same video I first saw of the yogscast. Good throw back

[@MrAllallalla]

I'm so fucking happy just watching you get this excited haha

[@st0rmforce]

I walked through queen square about an hour before they started their 10-year anniversary barbecue last week. Would have been cool to have gone up to them and said hello like a big man-child fanboy

[@fallingcrane1986]

Simon Clark meeting the Yogscast is like Glob Herman in a Spider-Man costume meeting the Avengers

[@wilby3965]

Holy shit that is fucking awesome dude !!! I would love to meet them like you did 😂😍

[@dtghanvey]

I'm hoping you ran in and screamed "I AM DAVE! YOGNAUGHT AND I HAVE THE BALLS"

[@dustinwashere]

It's bizarre because I have been watching since 2011 as well and it's just amazing how the crew and company has grown and changed. I miss a lot of them who are no longer as active or apart of the company.

[@jamiegreenwood1810]

I've been watching for a similar time and am so happy for you!

[@benjamincolligan]

I appreciate what the Yogscast has become but I don't think they will ever be the same for me personally.

[@badw01f23]

😍 i love Yogscast. I've been watching for years aswell. Im so excited for you.

[@Desca2001]

I was there September 2017 (because I recognized the park from Turps Larp fight episode) and met Sjin, Tom, Ben, Harry and Duncan. They were all nice and normal people. Wasn´t invited in, but it still was the highlight of my trip from Germany to England (one of the highlights actually, I met 2/3 of Hat Films and Mark Hulmes earlier at Empire lrp^^)

[@lewisallan9963]

So Tom Scott has worked with hannah whitton......and Simon. ...so.....how long till Tom works with yogscast

[@NickMagee208]

The nostalgia hits

[@liability7762]

Many of us feel like you but have not had the opportunity to physically see them. So thank-you for sharing your experience.

[@Iris377]

can't believe you met the yogscast I've been watching them forever

[@iamontda]

Hey hey, plenty of other KZbinrs would be excited to start up a group!

[@cookieridergirl]

I would like to note Simon looks like he’s about to explode. And I would have literally died before I walked into the building. Don’t care if some people thing they aren’t that popular anymore or that they’ve changed too much. They are still my childhood heroes and I still watch them daily. Also love how I’m watching this 3 years later so oof.

[@Jipple]

Yogscast Simon Clark?

[@KyleDB150]

I went the unconventional route of direwolf20 -> hat films -> yogscast, and now I've ended up starting a PhD too! Can I ask, how did you keep control of watching youtube, gaming etc and put your PhD first? I find I'm struggling with this a bit, but you seem to have managed. I saw in one of your videos that you watch pyrion flax, how much stuff do you still watch daily? It must be like 2 hours/day for me, including while I eat, but still too much I think.

[@daggerjagger4057]

my childhood dream in one video

[@thetattiescones6633]

[@TheSpacecraftX]

Simon did Astrophysics so I'm sure you can get on over that a little.
