- Yep. The title says it all. Tom was the Master of Ceremonies at a hosting industry conference, and got to interview Edward Snowden. We don't have any video of it.
Europa Park: europapark.de
Tom's worryingly professional speaking page: tomscott.com/s...
The "tank fly boss walk jam" reference: • Video
Buzz Aldrin: buzzaldrin.com/
Tom: / tomscottgo | Matt: / unnamedculprit
It's like Calculus: A beginning, an end, and an assload of tangents
Bravo!
I'm stealing this....not sure for what yet, but I am....
hahahah yeah...yeah..i have the exam in less then two week and i'm in a terrible situation hahah (lauthing to avoid crying) :/
“Tom interviewed Edward Snowden, and there’s no video of it” is actually more interesting than “Tom interviewed Edward Snowden,” and then finding out there’s no recording
We figured we'd put the disappointment in the title. Managing audience expectations and all that. -- Tom
+Matt and Tom Matt's link in the description doesn't work btw.
+jonlottgaming Fixed, thank you! -- Tom
Matt and Tom No problem! :)
You said there wasn't any video of the interviews. You never mentioned audio... Is there audio? Is there a written log of what everyone said?
+Matt and Tom That's your style and I love it.
"we're not street, we're boulevard" I want that on a shirt.
Me too.
+therealquade www.redbubble.com/people/aleky/works/21653066-were-not-street-were-boulevard it's not a great design and it can't be bought (yet)
***** I have finished the design, it's just that I don't have PayPal so I can't sell it. Also, I have no legal right to
theALEKY i'm tempted to use this as an opportunity to test my skills, make my own design, and screen print the thing myself, just to have a shirt that I made.
theALEKY sorry the comment was lost. Deleted my original TH-cam account
Tom, what's on your business cards?
"Tom Scott
Explains the internet"
It's just a card with 'BUSINESS' written on it (props Chris Joel)
I'm still waiting for one of these videos to turn into "We met some stranger's dog, and the dog was awesome: Now here is a 10+ minute video of us playing with said dog."
I believe Matt is deathly scared of dogs so that won't happen.
+adamtheenglishteen Release the hounds!
well, we've got a park bench video with duck reaction, so...
No, because editing.
In all honesty it almost certain was recorded. But either ONLY the production company/end clients will have a copy OR you will have had to attended or paid to watch the footage. (I realise this is a very comment so apologies)
But did you wear a red shirt under the suit?
+Bob Achmed van Heuvelen Good grief, no. Wearing a red shirt under a suit makes me look like a cheap magician! -- Tom
Was thinking about that also
+Matt and Tom Have you ever considered of applying for a role in a Star Trek film in the role of a redshirt?
***** Thanks, I did not know that. I didn't say Tom's character had to die, though :-D
+Dennis Fluttershy There's young ones who know nothing of Red Shirts.... It's yellow/gold for them...... ;)
Achievement Unlock: You made Edward Snowden laugh
Nice profile pic
Tom looks unbelievably good in a suit.
+Nick Nirus I was sort of hoping it would be red somehow
+Nick Nirus You are so right. He's so charismatic whatever he wears, really!
roywigify There's some red element we don't see, I'd bet. Tom would never give his colour up so easily.
@@NickiRusin socks perhaps?
@@NickiRusin red underwear
To be fair, that was the most obvious and reasonable question for Tom to have asked Snowden at the time. It would have been a damn shame to pass up such an opportunity.
He got to interview Buzz f***ing Aldrin and that doesn’t even make the title of a video. In a theme park as well. That’s how you know you have a fricking awesome job
I KNEW IT! As soon as Tom mentioned Snowden's framing in the video call I immediately asked myself "So probably he assumed he wasn't wearing any pants..."
I was not disappointed.
5:53 *NO!* You would be *very* frustrated if you've been to the Moon and a bunch of idiots kept saying it was all shot in Hollywood!
Why not be frustrated by both?
"We're not street, we're boulevard." ~Matt Gray, 2016
[stops dead in mid-sentence] "Oh, hello!" [smiles] "Dogs :)"
"Tom interviewed Edward Snowde..."
(tap)
"Tom interviewed Edward Snowden and there's no video of it"
😃😀😐😔
"Get your ass to Mars" is a quote from the 1990 film, Total Recall.
The relationship between Europapark and Disneyworld is actually the other way around. Europapark belongs to Theme Park ride designers and constructors. They come up with rides and display them in their park as an advertisement to Theme Parks like Disneyworld to order something from them.
+77dreimaldie0 Sorry! Watched on and saw You already knew this.
"Are you wearing trousers right now?" I loved that, haha. Stating the obvious, but man I would have loved to see that interview.
+Henriette Flensborg I would've loved to see the stream setup/pre-conference interview :-)
Tom predicted not wearing pants for corona video-meetings 4 years ago
So now Tom's met two astronauts.
Did I hear that the theme park had ``Pirates of Batavia``? There is (has been) only one Batavia, which was what the Dutch called a small village on Java, Dutch East Indies. After they kicked out the Dutch and renamed the country Indonesia, the locals called in Jakarta. Which means that Batavia is half a world away from the Caribbean.
Batavia was named after the Batavieren, the Germanic tribe that supposedly floated down the river Rhine on rafts and settled in the marshes that later inhabitants turned into the low lands.
old netherlands = batavia in latein. sort of. so there's been two batavia's.
0:30 If Tom interviews Snowden but doesn't have any footage does the NSA still have their own backup?
There you got Matt.
I briefly got Snowden mixed up with Assange, and I wondered why this interview wasn't headline news back in the day.
how do you get into a position where people hire you to explain technical stuff to corporate people?
+Alex Harris doing speaks and other jobs like that for years would be a good start ;)
you get really good at talking about technical stuff.
You need to start by dropping two drums and a cymbal off a cliff. (Sorry, I'm late with the punchline)
@@kg4wwn still funny though
"so im asking a warmup question to Edward Snowden" "im laughing about it bc you've told me before" "we never talk about what we talk about before we talk about it" - uh huh
Tom needs to invest in red dress shirts for the suit...or maybe he should go pink.
A red tie would do just as well
pink would suit him to be quite honest
Was the NSA director present at your Snowden interview? :D
1997CWR Where are they not.
Not getting that image of Buzz Aldrin out of my head anytime soon!
sexy buzzing intensifies
"Piraten in Batavia which is near the Caribbean", except that Batavia is the old name for what is now Jakarta, Indonesia. Kind of the exact opposite 'round the world from the Caribbean, Tom.
It's near in a universal scale, so Tom technically wasn't wrong
is it too much for me to say that y’all both look, like, Really good in this video
2:56 "The whole point of conference is you go to it rather than you watch it later on TH-cam"
Ouch.
Now I kinda wanna go back to 2016.
I thought this would be a story about you accidentally losing the footage of the interview.
I could listen to their voices for hours
+Andrew Dawson right-click the video, choose "loop". Thank me later ;)
I actually sometimes do that when im revising. Hahaha
GCSE Exams
+TheLordWillis Yeah, my teachers go on about if we fail our exams we fail life but there just a way to get into college then your A-Levels are more important right?
There are four years difference between Disney World Resort and Europa Park opening their gates.
Europa Park is really big!
Edit: You could talk about the dog-issue you two seem to have. Then every time in the future there is a dog, just link to the video.
Watching this in 2022 and MC Tom Scott may not be a thing but MC HyperScott definitely is
MC Tom Scott in the CONFERENCE!!!
Now 2020, how prescient was your initial question to Edward Snowden given the prevalence of video meetings?
the way the pandemic prepared me to hear that punchline coming a mile away 😭😭
Hmm... Matt has a non-blue t-shirt. :)
MadModders its just a very light shade of blue
Eneas H. It's one of the 50 shades of, not gray, but blue.
Tom gets distracted easily...
"Dogs! ....." xD
This show is basically, "Tom talks, and Matt punch lines."
If Confucius started a metal band, what would be their biggest hit? Master of Ceremonies.
Brilliant, funny and interesting video as always. Great Stuff, keep it up!
Wow that was one hell of a video. Very interesting. Can we see a write up of the interview or is that classified as well?
1:02 looking dapper tom from the past !
Really interesting story, and I'm intrigued by the space pictures now!
"We're not street, we're boulevard" is, I think, my new favourite expression ever and it will be disseminated as far and wide as possible! :p
"Did it work? Did it bollocks!" is my new life moto.

And the highlight of my week was deploying a new mobile game :D
One of these days I will get to do cool stuff too, I can feel it! I've felt it for years, but I can REALLY feel it now! :D
I love this series and that you get to do all this cool stuff and share it with us, so that even we can experience some of the joy!
Google play link??
The world we live in where "publishing a game you made, and can be played on a pocketable supercomputer, to the entire world" is no longer cool...
@@gwenynorisu6883 supercomputer is a relative term just like cool.
A few years ago some people from my study association were trying to get Edward Snowden as a speaker for our computer science symposium. Didn't work out sadly, in the end our keynote speaker was Daniel Domscheit-Berg.
I'm so glad I called that question. Exactly the question that had to be asked, Tom.
I think Buzz can call his braces"suspenders"if he wants too,since an infamous starship captain often wore a corset on stage "for cosmetic reason".
I miss 2016 when asking people if they are waring trousers in video confrences was still considerd original
that pic at 4:43 is in the bitrate compression video too
So this wasn't recorded at all? Or just not released to the public?
+Kram1032 Not released to the public.
wiet111 well, here is hoping they will do so eventually
+Kram1032 That's very unlikely. IT industry internal conferences don't have anything to gain from publishing expensive materiel. And i do mean expensive. Tickets can easily be thousands of dollars each.
Mikael Levoniemi no harm in hoping anyway - though I didn't expect it to definitely happen
3:36 That's the Silver Star in Europa Park Rust, Germany. I love that thing!
"Not that kind of MC." *Yet.* Did you look back on this as MC HyperScott?
And now it’s quarantine and lockdown all over the world, everyone’s asking the same question to everyone!!! 🤷🏻♂️😅
Tom's energy and rambling and pedanticness reminds me of Sherlock
Tbh I always assumed Tom's suit wardrobe was like his normal wardrobe, so he only had that blue shirt we see him in sometimes. It's nice to see he owns a white one as well.
I was just trying to find the video a few days ago!! very topical upload
Guinness world record, Only person to make Edward Snowden laugh over video call in front of a live audience.
+StealerOfSoles it wasnt in front of an audience yet. Tom said they were just testing the equipment and that there wasnt an audience there yet. Pay attention.
4:03 That's exactly how the Idea of Europapark was born. But they (Mack Rides) also wanted a testbed for their rides. Thats in short form the history about the creation of Europapark ;)
headed off to Europa Park in June, so immensely excited.
Legend says Matt is still on his walk...
Clearly when Tom emcees, his name is MC Stirrup.
Hey! RTL-SDR & NOAA satellites!
Get a better antenna for that.
+Spirit Yeah, You can get some pretty good pictures with a proper antenna!
+Mikko Tervala Or a high altitude balloon!
+Wouter Weggelaar that sound even better! Hope I can some day launch one.
mattg.co.uk/words/noaa_sdr/
+Vadzim Dambrouski Thanks!
That's pretty epic dude!
Ronnie Corbett monologue --- hey, I understood that reference! (Canadian here...)
Is it odd that I didn't know who Edward Snowden was before watching this video?
At 5:29 Buzz chops down trees, he wears high heels,
Suspenders and a bra!
+Aidan Ratnage It's not surprising, but it is kind of sad. The US government has done a surprisingly good job of damage control if they could keep Snowden from being common knowledge.
Nathan McDaniel I don't pay attention to the US's affairs much also I don't live there.
+Aidan Ratnage Wahhhh? That song just changed meaning a bit.
Brandon Francey I must have paraphrased some lyrics without knowing it, what song?
Not using Google? But Android is the best smart phone OS!
That's a shame. I really wanted Tom to go on monologing about Europa Park for the next 10 minutes.
So Matt, what are you tying to receive?
NOAA, FUNcube, ISS, HABs, something else?
Batavia is modern day jakarta, which is quite far from the carribean
okay but imagine asking edward snowden that in an irl interveiw
Around 11:00 I just knew what the question would be. Well done, Tom!
+proefslak Once he started on the midnight thing, I guessed "Are you wearing pajama bottoms?", so clearly a lot of great minds roll in the same gutter.
+Pspaughtamus Such a human thing to do ;)
because of this video i now yell CONFEREEENCE any time anyone brings up conferences and honestly it's a wonder i have any friends
Congrats on 100 k subscribers
when you were talking about edward snowden and how what else would he do for money I was just imagining him at a cell phone stand selling phones and it made me laugh for no reason and now im rambling on a tangent,thanks for infecting me.
They're taking the mickey.....
Asking whether someone's wearing trousers seems much less original in 2020!
Seriously! I "attended" a virtual meeting in which one of the housekeeping items at the beginning was "yes, the speaker is wearing pants".
holy shit tom looks great in a suit
"This is essentially a Ronnie Corbett monologue" :(
6:05 Is it a Ronnie Corbit low Earth orbit?
MC = Master of Ceremonies. Finally I know.
Tom, did you know that Europa Park has a original Mir space station engineering model as well?
Tom proud of his "are you wearing trousers" joke oblivious to the fact that will be the most cliche joke in about 4 years time...
Wow, video-interviewing in 2016 like it's 2020, these guys are at least a decade ahead of everyone else.
4:22 Batavia is not near the Caribbean it is located in Indonesia. Modern day Jakarta was called Batavia when Indonesia was called the Dutch East Indies.
Nice seeing Soeren in there with you and Snowden! :-)
Man, after the pandemic, this hits totally differently
exactly my thoughts
I wish I had confidence and interest like Tom.
master of ceremonies, i'm pulling your strings
Tom not in red shirt.....
Well if you weren't on a government watchlist yet, you are now.
Cool! That means I'm closer than ever before to sending my name out of the watchlist and have it leak documents on how 9/11 was an inside job.
Man, I need a "Get your ass to Mars" t-shirt.
I love when people jump between topics, getting distracted easily and getting off topic. It reminds me that there are people with similar behaviours like me. Similarties cause sympathy.
But let's stop the chit-chat! I don't like that the conference isn't captured on video and podcasted to public because I think the discussions and general mindwork done on such conferences are of high importance for the public.
Anyway, guess if I wear trousers or not!
This should have been two separate videos! Buzz Aldrin deserved a separate discussion. That's the better and brighter part of this.
Get your ass to Mars is a reference to Total Recall, was this missed?
