This was another great video. Your painting of your name may not have been perfect but it definitely showed artistic flair😂 btw I want to know how do they fix mistakes? Can they just flamethrower it or is there more of a process?
Considering I regularly spill water when pouring from a carafe, and also seem to have mild dysgraphia, you did at least as well as I would have, and probably better.
I was just thinking I wanted that as a T-shirt. For all the splatters are unintentional they looking pretty cool! Especially in contrast with the neat and tidy tried
I just love how positive and encouraging Frankie is. Hes super non judgemental and supportive and seems to enjoy showing you the ropes. Realy enjoyable to see :)
If Frankie is like this in his day-to-day job, he is a great boss and I think it would be really nice to be one of his apprentices. It’s amazing to see the skills that are required to make something so ubiquitous.
the bacon, eggs and sausages sealed it for me. imagine being like 3am in the morning fucking freezing and your boss pulls up with breakfast and a pan and cooks you guys a nice breakfast
Considering I bet this kind of thing is completely different for Frankie and his team, he was a natural at explaining and encouraging. That coupled with the unadulterated joy of Matt’s laughter made this an awesome video.
Welcome to this episode of Matt Tries... Today we're meeting at the intersection of trying to cook bacon on weird things and Will It Soft Serve. And there's some bonus Technical Difficulties in there as well. A perfectly rounded masterpiece.
They are a resin based thrmoplastic, with pigments usually organic, or titanium dioxide for white, and glass microspheres All will breakdown slowly except for the glass spheres and titanium dioxide both of which are insoluble and non-toxic
This is my first time watching Matt Gray is Trying and it is very wonderful. Matt was cheerful and so was the staff, and I really liked how helpful Frankie was. The video format did remind me a bit of shows produced on PBS, a (national/public) television channel in the US. I looked at the description and found that the video was in collaboration with Penny4, and while reading the home page of the website, it came a bit of a shock to know that they *also* collaborated with PBS themselves. Truly this video was marvelous and I hope this serious continues after the new year.
The quality and production level of this series is top notch! And your joy - even when getting things wrong - is incredibly contagious. Loving this series 🙌
Also, nobody seems to have noticed that everything said over the donkey engine's rattling was clearly audible, without subtitles. That's the true genius of Matt Gray!

I was blown away by the circles (which highlight things like the switch), placed in position on the element while the camera was moving.
@@Vinemaple I actually was wondering for a moment and then thought that they "just" have the very best lapels for exactly that situation and know their post-production tools very well. True master-crafters!
Matt, you're a great presenter for a series like this! Technical enough to ask some good questions, and always enthusiastic about learning something new.
Now I know how, and why there is often a squiggly puddled lines in corner of some parking lots. I could never figure out how that would even happen and now I know it's caused by training people to use the line machine 😆
@@RyanMartin1 yeah, my first thought was, when seeing Matt try: now i know who did 'em! but actually, sometimes, i think lines get squiggly when they melt in sun, that is, when tarmac is soft and flowy and kinda flows and gets wavy. esp if one drives over those lines.
Matt Tried... That's the kind of hazing the new guy I like. Being kind along the way, showing them the ropes, yet still acknowledging how much practice and skill it takes to be actually good at it.
I'm glad you are making an unofficial 4th season of the "going on adventures" you and your friends did on the technical difficulties. It's very entertaining.
I love this!! In my neighborhood I get excited when they come around with this equipment and the SHINY REFLECTIVE BALLS they stick on top. I pick up the extras from the gutter like the packrat I am inside.
I think Matt just loved doing those mini adventures on the Technical Difficulties, so he decided to make his own series with his own budget 😁 i love it
They are just fun to learn. I have a similar thing that I would love to just drive a tractor once> I have no fancy in becoming a farmer but to drive one once seems like fun. and with something like this the camera crew gives Matt a excuse.
What a top bloke Frankie was! And well done Matt. You did so well! If I was trying it, the idea of bending down and aiming the plastic while it (hopefully) drips into the first hand mould, let alone the 2" square mould, all whilst keeping to a straight line *and* moving at the same time is too much multi-tasking. There's no way I'd have done such a good job as you, Matt. These professionals are masters of their craft and I'd happily watch them paint wording on roads for hours.
I have some fond memories of these things, weirdly I remember walking to university one day, it was absolutely freezing and with the campus being right on the bloody coast, very windy too. I walked past one of these machines and my god, it was so nice to stand by it for a couple of minutes just warming up.
The end bit was some great comedy. Absolute props to Frankie. Also I already love this series- it's great to see jobs like this most people never even think about, and get to see how much effort goes into it, and you get to try it firsthand- I'm jealous! I got to do this with welding once, but I had a whole week to go from totally incompetent to only mostly incompetent.
Also titled: Matt Gray is running around with a flamethrower and a can of paint. Fascinating and it's great to see your excitement as always. People's excitement is mainly why I watch videos like these. And it's great to have you doing these now!
I love that you're upping the output as Tom takes break, this is a great concept, paired with your infectious enthusiasm. I can't wait to see whatever else you try and am interested to know if you inadvertently uncover some unexpekted natural talents.
Writing this comment before watching the vid. Matt, It's just... anything you do upload seems fun, wacky, educational and always worth it. Thank you. Now, off to watch.
You did well, Matt, on your first go at something unexpectedly complicated. And Frankie is a natural both as a teacher and a stealth piss-taker. He’s a riot! I can’t wait to see what you get up to next.
Love the show! I especially love the combination of your energy and personality combined with learning new skills and seeing how jobs are done. Keep up the good work!
enjoying the series so far! It really shows how many ordinary seeming jobs take a lot of skill to master and makes you appreciate all the effort that goes into whats around us! I Would love to see you give event crewing a go, building stages and rigging lights etc, thats my job and its fun! :)
What a great video! You’re shedding light on something hardly anyone thinks about. Just goes to show how some really cool things are hidden in plain sight. Now I wanna try this.
How well do you think I did? If anything, I'm just happy it all came out vaguely looking like what I was intending!
You had more fun than being accurate, which definitely helps!
I was hoping to see how they remove lines too.
This was another great video. Your painting of your name may not have been perfect but it definitely showed artistic flair😂 btw I want to know how do they fix mistakes? Can they just flamethrower it or is there more of a process?
Better than I would have done. And your laughter is genuinely great!
Considering I regularly spill water when pouring from a carafe, and also seem to have mild dysgraphia, you did at least as well as I would have, and probably better.
That sign, "MATT TRIED..." with the splatters and all, should be a T-shirt. They should sell it whenever Matt tried something.
Ooh! Matt could try screen printing!
I would love that!
@@stephenwilliams163 Yes!

Thanks for Coming Matt!

If this is how he is with new hires as well he's a great boss
Brilliant
Frankie either has extensive media training (doubtful) or he is a genuinely nice guy with a sharp intellect. What a gem of a person.
I know Frankie and he is a genuine nice guy@@cmwh1te
Yeah. Frankie seems like an awesome person.
the bag being part of the paint is so cool!
Talk about zero waste.
More packaging should be designed to be used with the product
That is 100% logical, foolproof and eco-friendly solution. No waste, no headache.
It's such a brilliant idea that should be implement wherever possible! It makes it easier for workers and creates no mess!
Crater grease (very heavy thick grease) can come in bags you just toss into the gearbox. But that's more because it's just obnoxious to deal with
10:38 "it's like gritty ice cream" and a link to "will it soft serve" appears in the top right.
A+
It's rare for a host to be as good at presenting/narrating as they are fun to simply watch giddily try things. Matt is a treasure.
If Frankie is like this in his day-to-day job, he is a great boss and I think it would be really nice to be one of his apprentices. It’s amazing to see the skills that are required to make something so ubiquitous.

Frankie is amazing! That reveal when he took the cardboard away xD
I've also got a new level of respect for the line marking crews!
Same!!
I got so much more respect for them seeing how difficult it is
Yeah, that was *amazing*
Considering I bet this kind of thing is completely different for Frankie and his team, he was a natural at explaining and encouraging. That coupled with the unadulterated joy of Matt’s laughter made this an awesome video.

Perhaps needed a fog horn.
Honestly, Matt Gray Is Trying is my favourite series. This guy makes me smile, his energy is infectious. Like syphilis, but nice.
I never thought that line markings would be (semi)-biodegradable, but I suppose it makes sense.
They are a resin based thrmoplastic, with pigments usually organic, or titanium dioxide for white, and glass microspheres
All will breakdown slowly except for the glass spheres and titanium dioxide both of which are insoluble and non-toxic
@@davidioanhedgesthose glass beads are for retro reflectivity right?
@@JuneNafzigerYep. It's almost funny how good retroreflectorsbhave gotten on roadsigns and the like.
I have always wondered, and now, I will see.
Edit: Also, what a personality Frankie is. I'd love to see this guy just talk about anything
This is my first time watching Matt Gray is Trying and it is very wonderful. Matt was cheerful and so was the staff, and I really liked how helpful Frankie was.

Liking your comment to help the algorithm 😄
Now I know how, and why there is often a squiggly puddled lines in corner of some parking lots. I could never figure out how that would even happen and now I know it's caused by training people to use the line machine 😆
That and the back roads. I've driven some roads where it would help to be drunk to follow the lines.

this is lovely- it really helps that Frankie was so engaging, he really gets what you're doing here
I'm glad you are making an unofficial 4th season of the "going on adventures" you and your friends did on the technical difficulties. It's very entertaining.
See, I was thinking this is like Matt’s version of Tom Scott Plus…
And it’s SO GOOD!
@@FallingofftheGrid
It’s produced by the same people.
"Definitely don't want to put this in an icecream cone" The spirit of Will It Soft Serve lives on
Loved the "Will It Soft Serve" link when he said it, too.
Matt's pure, unadulterated enthusiasm is amazing to see. Just makes me happy watching these videos.
I love this!! In my neighborhood I get excited when they come around with this equipment and the SHINY REFLECTIVE BALLS they stick on top. I pick up the extras from the gutter like the packrat I am inside.
I can imagine you jumping into pile of scavenged shiny reflective balls like Scrooge McDuck
hahaha that ending is brilliant!!!
I think Matt just loved doing those mini adventures on the Technical Difficulties, so he decided to make his own series with his own budget 😁 i love it
The audience response to his TechDiff adventures was what convinced him that this could be a viable concept. 😊

That cut to the thunderstorm is such a great example of Matt's humour 😂
Brilliant series Matt! Can't wait to see what shenanigans you get up to next

Great episode! Props to Total Linemarking. Those guys were so patient and funny.
"Props"...wtf are you talking about ???
@@monkeyface6139 See here a person who doesn’t know what a dictionary is
@@monkeyface6139 Short for "proper respect", similar to "kudos"
Excellent video. When TH-cam puts a big smile on your face, that's a good thing.
The production quality on this video is stellar, it feels like a TV program I'd say.
Just love that ending with the "Matt tried ..." Such a lovely idea! But needless to say the whole episode is great.
The production quality of this is crazy, I absolutely love what you're doing.
I have some fond memories of these things, weirdly
I remember walking to university one day, it was absolutely freezing and with the campus being right on the bloody coast, very windy too.
I walked past one of these machines and my god, it was so nice to stand by it for a couple of minutes just warming up.
Oh what a lovely instructor
That cardboard reveal was hilarious, they seem like a good bunch! Really interesting and fun video Matt
The reveal of the "tried..." was so funny :D
Frankie is an excellent teacher! Explained everything really well and kept it interesting!
Matt's enthusiasm certainly helped!
From what we've seen of this series so far, I've got a feeling Matt does a LOT of research into what companies he works with.
The end bit was some great comedy. Absolute props to Frankie. Also I already love this series- it's great to see jobs like this most people never even think about, and get to see how much effort goes into it, and you get to try it firsthand- I'm jealous!

I love that the techdiffs did a series and Matt was like:
OMG This is what i want out of life!¡!
I've seen them using the fire to dry the ground out before, but never understood what they were doing.
Very informative.
This is a fantastic series. Matt's enthusiasm is so infectious.
What a fun video to watch. Matt, your laughter is contagious! Thank you so much for sharing this!
That ending, what a delight! 😂 I’m loving this series 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Matt, you have hit onto a great format here. Please keep it going!
Whoever found Total Line Marking did a grand job, what a great fit!
I love this series. Matt gets to let out his inner child and we get to see some joy on the internet and also get some amazing insights :3
Also titled: Matt Gray is running around with a flamethrower and a can of paint.
Fascinating and it's great to see your excitement as always. People's excitement is mainly why I watch videos like these. And it's great to have you doing these now!
Your joy and genuine interest are infectious!
That reveal was priceless! Thanks to Frankie and Billy for being such incredibly good sports 😎
Fantastic video as always. Your excitement is infectious.
10:40 "it's like gritty icecream", ah a throwback to 'Will It Soft serve'! ❤
This has to be one of my favorite videos on youtube ever, and it's about line marking...
"Wheeled over the paint-baby" is an incredible phrase! Thanks for these incredibly good videos Matt!
It's so wholesome to see these guys being such good sports about this, and how proud they are of their work. Justifiably so.
Your genuine joy at this was glorious, Matt! This series is genuinely wonderful, good work
Today I Learned... like forty different things from this video, and enjoyed it the whole way. Exactly what I want from youtube. Cheers!
I love that you're upping the output as Tom takes break, this is a great concept, paired with your infectious enthusiasm.
I can't wait to see whatever else you try and am interested to know if you inadvertently uncover some unexpekted natural talents.
Matt is a brilliant solo presenter, very british style that really projects his personality onto the screen
The freehand comparison section made my day so much
Huge thanks for spending the money on proper subtitles! 🙏
This was delightful.
Really good quality. Well made Matt and team!
Really did not expect the "tried" XD another really fun episode
There's a lot more that goes into this than I expected. I love the bags being made of the line-marking resin they contain, that's very clever
Line marking with Total Line Marking. Can’t wait to see Matt mark lines!
I mean, Matt’s second attempt looks much better than some I have genuinely seen in the wild
Writing this comment before watching the vid. Matt, It's just... anything you do upload seems fun, wacky, educational and always worth it. Thank you. Now, off to watch.
Damn Jamie took some nice shots to assit the narrative, well done
Totaaaaaaaaal!! What an amazing idea! I get the sense this vids are all gonna be so amazing. Pls pls pls everyone, let's make it be feasible for him ❤
You know Matt's having a good time when the scooby doo laugh comes out rehehe
They gave
*_Matt Gray_*
a flamethrower.
"It's such an alien texture, it's like... gritty ice cream!"
*Cue link for Will It Soft Serve*
What a wonderfully timed little self-promotion :D
Looking forward for the next episode. Keep it up!
Imagine pulling into that firm's carpark about to book them for a job and seeing Matt's wobbly lines, you'd be like NOPE!😂
I'd just assume it what they have the trainees do. Better to have them lesrn on private land.
That tried is clean, Frankie an absolute legend
Well that's something I didn't know I would find interesting and what a top bloke Frankie is!
The big reveal at the end made me laugh out loud! 😆
This is quickly becoming one of my favourite series.
Matt's face when the flamethrower comes out. :)
You did well, Matt, on your first go at something unexpectedly complicated.
And Frankie is a natural both as a teacher and a stealth piss-taker. He’s a riot!
I can’t wait to see what you get up to next.
Hope to see this series continue! Love it and the editing style.
Seems like a lot of fun! I never knew they did parts of it essentially freehand like that.
I never thought about how these markings are made. Thanks for this video!
I really enjoyed Frankie's attitude and energy. Such a good camera presence!
Love the show! I especially love the combination of your energy and personality combined with learning new skills and seeing how jobs are done.
Keep up the good work!
Frankie was a great instructor, and really got into the whole spirit of the experience. This was wonderful!!

Good on the lads at total line marking they did you a solid one putting up with you and great touch at the end !
Thank you for the captions!
What a great video! You’re shedding light on something hardly anyone thinks about. Just goes to show how some really cool things are hidden in plain sight. Now I wanna try this.
Awesome! Great to see another Matt video.
Love the series
Your laughter is contiguous 😂❤
I loved that bit of humor at the end! Brilliant!
"Ohh looks like icecream!" (But will it softserve!?) "Its 190°C, no good for a cone" (no Softserve D: )
Really enjoyed this video!!! Keep up the good work ❤!!! It's appreciated
That reveal at the end was SUPERB!
