[@tomscottplus]

For newcomers to the channel: Matt and I go way back, but we haven't made joint videos in years. So as a special one-off: we went on a Rude Trip.

[@ArrowMaster_]

Hi

[@ArrowMaster_]

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

[@RichardHowe8114]

Genuinely love you guys. You are a vibe.

[@ArrowMaster_]

Btw love your content, Tom

[@imoutodaisuki]

^it was an unlisted video.

[@serianc9036]

Honestly, my one wish for this channel was ‘Tom does something nice for himself’ and his utter delight to be in the presence of owls has justified the entire channel.

[@ragnkja]

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.

[@ellaisplotting]

It was so, so wholesome 😭💕

[@EEEEEEEE]

E‎‎

[@xxlepusxx]

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

[@Cross31415]

It was a real hoot.

[@MattGrayYES]

This was surprisingly good fun! For those of you in the comments lamenting the lack of Matt and Tom content, we still make videos together as part of The Technical Difficulties, and I have a KZbin channel with my own content too!

[@bacul165]

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

[@Pimkly]

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

[@pablorepetto7804]

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

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

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.

[@GryphLane]

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

[@UsmanX]

These two guys have great chemistry, they should make a channel with videos at a regular stationary location like a park bench or something

[@EEEEEEEE]

‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎E

[@ramppappia]

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

[@Blue-Maned_Hawk]

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

[@thinkublu]

@@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

[@heyoitskram5748]

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

[@HolyFrax]

I adore the fact that Tom specifically asks for "soaring, anthemic, hopeful" music, and when Matt switches on the tune, the captions also specifically state it as "soaring anthemic hopeful music." Between this and the "Trying Hot Ones" video, it seems to me that Tom has the best caption team on KZbin - clear and concise, but with a keen sense of humor.

[@Kitteh.B]

I usually use captions all the time when watching TV/Netflix/Hulu/etc but I stopped with KZbin 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!

[@EEEEEEEE]

‎‎E

[@calicosiside]

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

[@joshyoung1440]

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.

[@randomuser6110]

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

[@sosaysjayrod]

I can't wait for "I am holding an owl" to be in the next compilation of Tom announcing where he is and what he is doing.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

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.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

Also "I am currently in southern Switzerland"

[@ihathtelekinesis]

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

[@Joseph125]

“Matt and Tom’s Viaduct Tier List” is a video I didn’t know I needed, but if that’s a B+ viaduct I absolutely want to see the full scale

[@sarahprunierlaw9147]

that would be a fun side project!

[@ibahart3771]

Tom's earnest appreciation of the viaduct is a delight

[@sharpfang]

Honest B+

[@rubegoldbergguy9909]

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

[@sharpfang]

@@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.

My mum grew up in the village over from Pratt's Bottom, suffice to say I think the kids at the local school who were from Pratt's Bottom were given quite a bit of grief for it.

[@HemanshuDas]

It's so great to see Matt back. Feels like the good ol' days.

[@nathanisip]

Goodness this is a blast to the past. Nothing like Matt and Tom randomly giggling at stuff.

[@dpmattingly]

I am continuously heartened by the commitment Tom puts into his running gags by hiding yet another rickroll in the sponsor read.

[@tastygold]

Where?

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

I would like to congratulate Mr. Gray and Mr. Scott for their completion on an amazingly hard route. You now know all the nooks and crannies of the route. I commend your actions and would like to give both gentlemen a title, "Sir Underdrawers".

[@HowToSpacic]

Matt and Tom continually getting jump scared by the phone ringing is too funny

[@myladycasagrande863]

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

Peregrine falcon. Casually holds the fastest known animal on earth.

[@struanpeat5116]

tom puts loads of effort and research into his videos, he takes weeks, months, to put out high quality, tightly scripted content. that said, it's really nice to see somthing semi-spontanious, somthing he's done just for fun and hasn't thought through. im growing to love this channel more than the main one, and i hope you continue having fun tom

[@dafoex]

I appreciate you giving all the birds a lower third. Also I wonder how many times the Balls Cross sign has been stolen.

[@adamnaameeazim6365]

Damn. This Matt Gray guy is pretty great, Tom should do some more videos with him.

[@ragnkja]

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

[@capta1nseal]

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

[@desaturated-firefox]

Worth it for the birds of prey meeting. They're the closest we can get to divinity in this dimension.

[@hazedcube]

Living near Pratt's Bottom, I think it's to do with the Pratt family that lived here, and Bottom meaning valley as it's at a lower point in the area! (With the A21 running past)

[@muadeeb]

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

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

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

[@sebastianwlodarczyk]

"You're gonna watch. Or don't."- Are you kidding? I'd watch a whole series of the two of you driving around places with rude names! Ok, maybe I wouldn't- there are a lot of towns with rude names, and filming something like that would probably turn tiresome quite fast for everyone involved. What I meant to say is: it's just great to see you both just hanging out and doing something silly:)

[@renatocfrancisco]

15:02 HAHA well played :)

[@katiemoss7578]

Time to whip out an old joke What’s Tom Scott’s favourite colour? Matte Gray!

[@daandanx]

Ah, this video was perfect! Just casual fun with hilariously dumb jokes and no 'serious' weight to it. This is KZbin at its finest. No drama, nothing that deep or saddening, just some genuinely entertaining content.

[@Mega_Umbreon]

I'm 5 minutes in and Matt's explanation of how lunch works has already made me belly laugh. This is going to be good.

[@bitequation314]

The deafening ringtone was the funniest unintentional comedy I've seen in years. Every KZbin video should be randomly interrupted by a comically loud ring from now on.

[@xinlu2806]

You can't imagine how big a smile I have on my face seeing the two of you back together on video!

[@MissLilyputt]

Thank you so much for adding captions to the videos. I appreciate it very much. It helps me tremendously.

[@reggiewac]

It’s almost like there should be a whole separate KZbin channel with Matt and Tom just chatting and messing around….

[@whiskedragon]

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

You know what... This was awesome. Great to see you and matt together in a video again. Always love your dynamic. Also the owls... Awesome. My sister was big in the birds of Prey scene... So I got to visit a few aviaries 20 years ago. I really love birds of prey, displays are awesome to visit as well. I got to see "behind the scenes" and feed the birds that were not been flown during displays. (they have a rotation of birds so they never over stress a bird flying displays.)

[@skypig]

I needed this, the chemistry you too have together is just great. Also I appreciate the name card being added for the birds as well

[@GREYFLWRMUSIC]

One of my favorite episodes so far, I love road trips and the England countryside, so that plus two entertaining people = great content.

[@kevinantonowvideo]

Can someone explain to me what the deal with the name "Pratts bottom" is... - I don't get the reference here. I'm german. Balls cross is very obvious... But I'm not so sure about the other one.

If you search for a dictionary of British slang and look up "prat", that should explain it.

Good old road trip with a bunch of humour, perfect for dull Autumn day in Scotland - By the way, each time you are coming up with NordVPN, all I can hear is the line about 'gay-pirate-assassin' and can't stop laughing of that ages ago video. The Superb Owl gag wasn't olden - it was golden!
