Thanks so much for inviting me on! I don't normally talk about the process, or how I work, so this was out of my comfort zone -- thank you for putting me at ease. And while I don't quite have the budget to take you storm-chasing yet, maybe one day...
can't wait for the (hopefully) inevitable tom scott plus MKBHD video
It was really interesting seeing how your video making process has changed since you and Matt ended the park bench. There hasn't been a place to go see y'all geek out about how a really technical video was made and this is a percent of that.
I was half expecting this comment to be dated "3 Weeks ago"
Not gonna lie I didn't realize how negative you were tom
Woah!!!!! Let's go!!!!!!!!!!
Even in a podcast interview, Tom sounds like he about to explain some absurd obscure fact
And that is something you might definitely know
the accuracy haha!
Tom's video title "I promise, this story about micro waves is interesting" absolutely worked for me. One of his best, I think. Just throw in your reputation!
The fact that he didn't call it "What scientists learned from cooking live hamsters in microwaves" says a lot about his integrity.
Honestly Toms channel is basically "Trust me its way more interesting than it sounds" or rather "I've found something interesting, you'll enjoy it too"
Tom wearing a red shirt everywhere is literally like Marques being Matt black everything. Love them both
Well the thing is the red shirt is just forward thinking. He never has to thing about continuity errors. at least with his clothing as he on purpose always wares the same. Red shirt, bleu jeans, grey sweater and same shoes. He buys them all in bulk so that is also covered.
he only exception is when he is wearing is suite. with is most likely 1 suite with probably 2 white shirts.

Matt Black sounds like a person lol
1 hr of Tom Scott has to be the best treat ever.
His park bench videos were a treat, watch them if you haven't and want to see more of him
@@ClumsyHumane Thanks for this. Will watch them
Sad they stopped :((
Is truly a treat, especially collabed w mkbhd!
This is such a surreal crossover. Two of TH-cam's best creators!
Yeah, Tom is indeed a wonderful TH-camr. Can't say the same about MKBHD
Literally my FIRST THOUGHT clicking into this
Bruh did you just compare Marques and Tom? Tom is way superior.
@@someonewhocares...2513 why???
@@someonewhocares...2513 why?
1:05:20 -- That is REALLY impressive how fast he can type the alphabet, holy shit. That is WILDLY fast. He has spent a LOT of time on computers to be able to do it that fast.
The stig is impressed with that lol
I practiced doing it for a whole month and the fastest I ever did was 1.4 flat. With Tom just doing it that quickly off the bat is very impressive.
I"ve been a professional programmer for 25 years and I got 3.354 in 3 tries. Tom is an ex-programmer, so I'm guessing that's where it comes from.
If you want to get really fast, the key is to get away from a "typing" mindset and towards a "sliding" mindset. The site allows you to make as many errors as you want, as long as the alphabet is also in there in order. So you ideally want low profile keycaps with as much rollover as possible and then slide your fingers across the keyboard along the alphabet.
He's very competitive. He likes scripting. He knew every waveform guest gets this challenge. My guess is he practiced it.
1:04:58 - that's a look from Marques that we rarely see! Just uncontrolled raw emotion. :)
Woaho cool to see him that excited
Marques and Tom on a podcast about tech is a collab I didn’t know I need!
No I knew I needed it. And I’m glad it happened.
Marques and Tom on a podcast about tech in which they also talk about James Hoffmann is a collab I didn’t know I need!
Tom is such a good speaker. He really didn't lie when he said he writes scripts in his voice - this whole podcast he sounded like he was giving a scripted, pre-plannedpresentation. It almost felt surreal every time I heard the others respond - like people giving unscripted comments that somehow perfectly fit into Tom's presentation.
I've never heard someone speak so well so naturally and so effortlessly. Much respect.
You have to be very fast when asking Tom questions because if you're not he'll just answer it immediately lol. What a great guy, he seems so smart,
That's a nice way of saying he cuts people off
Yeah it was a challenge. But I like Tom a lot.
He does acknowledge it even in the interview.
He is just not used to being the person where the focus is on. on all his own productions he often goes in to great length on placing the spotlight on someone else.
Also in the same vain he deflects a lot of questions about him self by sending it back.
@@sirBrouwer Exactly.
I really think on multiple levels toms channel truly is an education channel he just chooses to do a variety of topics but his content is always a fun time where I learn something I didn't know and you presented it in a fun way. Tom you are a fantastic educator like hank green or minute physics just a broader scope. The computer videos are also super cool
Yes, I describe Tom Scott as an educator.
Speaking of teleprompters: you should invite Technology Connections.
Tom’s thoughts on car user interfaces and the idea of standardizing it sounds interesting to me. I don’t necessarily think it would be a good or bad thing. It would just be fun to do like a “What if” series, breaking down random scenarios like that
How about saying something original? Rather than copy and pasting nonsense like this...
funnily enough, today Apple just announced a standardized car UI via a new CarPlay that would take over all screens including speedometers etc.
@@justinbchen yep, Apple CarPlay 2 sounds good
@@someonewhocares...2513 spam bot?
Tom Scott seems like an awesome dude, love his videos! Glad he was able to come on the podcast!
If you've got Tom Scott over, it needs to be like a 3-4 hour podcast 😭
Okay, so here’s the thing… TH-cam suggested this video to me NOW…. 2months later… this drives me nuts, i wished I found it sooner.
Thank you guys for interviewing Tom, I really like his content. But there’s more to it, his humble personality and that amazing speaking voice. The 90’s show-reference really makes sense. Always had a Mike Rowe’s “Dirt Jobs” vibe… not the content, but the style.
Lol, sooo… “Hot Ones” happened 🤣
Hope this finds you as well Tom 🙂
Came here from the audio only version just to see Tom Scott destroy a keyboard.
We also really need a top down for these typing tests.
How doesn't Tom Scott have a podcast. His topics and views on them are quite intriguing and honestly, the pod voice is just there. I would watch his podcasts all the time. And I already do that with nearly all of Marquees ones
I think he is afraid to not have anything to say, he kind of implied that when he talked about how he can't deal doing stuff solo in radio shows. But anyone who has seen Citation needed, Two of these people are lying and anything else with the technical difficulties knows that as long he is surrounded by the right people, he is great at it.
well in a way he has done them. Only linear on the radio. That is how the Tech Diff team even became a thing. on the university radio.
but for him I think the biggest problem is the time. if what he did reveal about him self to a bit.
Is that he is almost always working on his main job. (mainly reading and research)
I think he use to have like a podcast
@@magicjack4076 The old audio episodes of Technical Difficulties are available as a podcast on their website.
he used to have 1, Citation Needed
well more like a podcast & gameshow merged into one
then a short form of podcast (5-10 min) Park Bench Series on Matt and Tom channel
Tom, I feel like you have a loyal enough fanbase that people will watch you stuff even if you can't come up with the right title! You've reached the coveted vlogbrothers-level loyal fanbase tier :)
Wow thats a great comparison, yeah as far as trusted internet personalities go: tom scott and vlogbrothers are great examples
After watching citation needed so many times, I feel like you should be the one to ask about "an almost randomly selected wikipedia article that these folks can't see, every fact they get right is a ding, and a prize for particularly good answers, which is, MYSTERY BISCUITS!! OH YEAH!"
Is the person or product linked to France?
I rarely watch WVFRM Podcast(but I subscribed to this channel when this was announced back then) but this crossover with Tom Scott is a must watch for me. haha
Tom is delightful. His vibe is exactly described by the 90's television show presenter.
My favorite video from him is by far the learning to bike one, it made me so happy. Although the coffee video is also a real youtube treasure.
BLUE PETER! Now he mentions it, it's so obvious where Tom's inspiration comes from. (Should have taken the hint from the 'Noaks climbs Nelson's Column' link in the newsletter!) The not-at-all misbehaving elephant, the Simon-Groom-esque sheep farm, how to build an emoji keyboard from washing-up liquid bottles and sticky-back plastic. Next week he'll be putting a tortoise in a box, training a guide-dog, and asking viewers to send in milk bottle tops. (I'd still watch that).
I’m sorry. Did this man at 10:40 refer to our time period as the 20s?
"New 20's"
@@vp5429 bcoz today you can remember the 1920s (somewhat) so there's confusion there whereas in 1920s, if you said the 20s you were absolutely talking about 1920s and not 1820s
It’s my first time listening to this podcast, I’m here because YT knows I’ll watch anything with Tom Scott in it, but I’m definitely staying because this is a really good show.
I'm super stoked for this interview. I've been watching Tom's videos for hella long.
my eyes actually widened when i saw tom in the thumbnail. as a fan of both, this collab definitely came out of left field. it was a pleasant surprise though!
Amazing! Hope this means we can find some Marques/MKBHD content on Tom Scott's channel(s) soon!!
Eta: given the end of the episode i hope its soon!
Ahh man I've been waiting for this! Tom's definitely one of my favorite TH-camrs. Only discovered his channel 2 years ago but man I love this
9:37 - yoooo!!! Shout out to Rare Earth!!!!!! I had to go back and look up my first video of Rare Earth and was the series he did with Commander Chris Hadfield. Such a small world!
Tom Scott's gift is that he sees everything as it is the very first time, and enthuses that like a child would in excitement. His energy is incredible, and that always transfers too. There is always such a positive energy to it all, and in a world filled with darkness, he provides a light.
48:00 That is a thing I think is most impressive for Linus Tech Tips. He has over many years successfully transformed HIS TH-cam Channel into a TH-cam Channel of his media-group where many of the personalities seen in the videos nowadays have their own personality and pretty much even their own Fans.
And that while still being called LINUS Tech Tips, just that Linus now stands more for LMG (Linus Media Group) and not the person Linus
I remember Linus talking about his channels branding in one of the WAN shows recently and he mentioned that he's slowly trying to fade out the "Linus Tech Tips" branding and instead market it more as "LTT" to remove the focus on his name.
@@hoazl. Yea, I saw that episode (and many other hints about this sort of stuff) as well. I think it is pretty amazing how good the transition seems to work actually as there could be so much more backlash to changes of a channel like these)
This seem to be what he wants to happen, but it's not really working out it feels like, 80-90 percent of the videos have him in them now, just a few years back people like James and Reily and Anthony did a lot of them, I'm not sure why they are doing as many videos now, could it be because it wasn't working ? Or is it because all of those people are working on the newer channel alot, since they are the ones he trusts the most, or its both since if they are on the newer channels more that would be channel that would start from zero with the other hosts
The Collab we all needed!! Tom Scott is so charming to listen to
Saw this on Spotify and had to wait for the video version
Favourite guest so far. Tom seems like such a great guy. TH-cam are lucky to have someone like him on the platform.
I really respect how much effort you spend to connect with your guest
_huge_ grin after that alphabet win, dang. Great podcast all round! Two of my favourite creators, can't complain at all ^^
One of the best interviews yet!!!
I would describe his channel as short form educational journalism
"what record am i trying to break?" All of them sir, you have to and you will break all of them
It was lovely to hear Answer In Progress brought up. I followed the channel since it was just Sabrina when she guest videoed on vlogbrothers (the first time).
What a crossover. Of course, we now need the SummoningSalt video on Tom's speedrun at the end...
Tom Scott is one of my favorite creators. Thanks for this conversation!
This is a fantastic interview
I'm all in for more infotainment and feature deep dives in car reviews!!
Tom uses a teleprompter?!! I could never tell.
Great to see a more organic version of Mr. Scott! Don't get me wrong, I love the well developed content on Tom's channel, but its refreshing to see someone that perfect be themselves.
Amazingly well spoken! Many can learn from him
He indeed talks exactly like how he writes
This is always a really fun podcast to just relax and listen to but Tom Scott is such a fun guy that I am still smiling after the video which usually doesn't happen.
I'm subbed to both, saw the animated thumbnail and thought I was having a stroke
I soooooooooooooooooo loved this episode, I can confidently say it's my best collab! And there've been some really good ones.
I've honestly wanted to hear Tom on a podcast for quite a while now, this one ended up really great 👍
Amazing collaboration between two of my favourite youtubers! :)
Excellent podcast from two of my favourite creators than make consistently excellent content! I had the pleasure of meeting Tom in person a few years ago at the US National Rocket Centre in Huntsville, Alabama - totally random but fun to then see then later see the video that he had been there filming!
Love Tom so much, such a fun smile inducing ending. We need the extended cut where he tries da bomb though :)
Tom Scott shouted out Iowa. That's good enough for me
Bloody love this OG chat. Great interview
My 2 favorite creators together. This was by far one of the best episodes of this podcast.
I would absolutely watch a longform Tom Scott podcast, even if it's just interviewing other people.
Absolutely awesome interview, love this crossover! :D
damn! mkbhd and tom are my favourite youtubers! I could not be happier to wake up seeing this in my subbox!
That hour disappeared awful quickly. Great show guys.
This is such a cool collab, it's something I didn't know I wanted but completely did
Also I wish Tom did more basics style videos. Really liked his ideas on computers and security at times.
30:04 Cue every Tom Scott super viewer combing through every second of Tom Scott's video's to find 3 seconds of lip sync errors.
found this channel 1 year late.. I love Tom Scott's stuff and that's how I found it and how I didn't realize Marques did this podcast is funny. I'm subbed to him too.
The small bits of references Tom makes to Internet events that I am also interested or even invested in makes me respect him so much more. I couldn't tell you why, but the fact that he made a reference to licking the bitter nintendo switch cartridges just made my day.
It's like he's also just a dude who is very much online and is up to date on what everyone else is interested in.
60 minutes is a good example of a TV magazine.
Tom Scott should host a video on Answer in Progress. That would be really cool
Tom Scott video titles be like: "This lightswitch in Denmark could end the world" - I mean of course Im going to watch that. and then it just keeps going like that 😆
Just lost for words, this is the collab we did not expect, but for sure love!
MY WEEK IS MADE THANK YOU I LOVE THE BOTH OF YOU
This man is a mastermind In making good clickable videos!
As someone who doesn't drive but really loves tech and cars, I look forward to seeing more of your car videos. I was really surprised at how much tech is in modern cars.
I'm one of the fastest typists I know but cannot for the life of me do the alphabet test, so good on ya Tom!
This is def my no 1 waveform podcast
Really cool to hear Tom shout out Coast. I have often felt that some of Tom's videos would have slot perfectly into a segment on a magazine show like that. He should change his name to Tom Morrow and make a show talking about the products and technologies of the future. It would be called Tom Morrow's World.
The slight audio modulation on the hot sauce comment was genius.
Jesus Christ this man can TYPE
I finally believe him after years of him saying his hair isn't completely grey.
MKBHD has that great color grade.
Wow, I didn't know Tom was a beast typing
Loving this episode. About youtube channels being connected to one single presenter - I would say this is very similar to how many current huge brands started ... Ford, Porsche, Disney, Benz (Mercedes), Bata (shoes company), Louis Vuitton,... I would guess in 30 years time, some of these current youtube channels will turn into something like that - Linus Tech Tips seems to be really evolving in this direction for example.
Absolutely enjoyed this!
One of the best episodes
Couldn't click on this fast enough, love this collab 🥰
My dream collab. Thank you!
Dude i literally wondered this stuff and you have a podcast on it great!!
4 June 22
Episodes like this makes me feel part of the team and look forward to the gift exchange video. Way to go team!
What’s funny is that I hadn’t realized what Tom Scott was. It really is like a TV show. In the old, more innocent times of television. So cool! We aren’t all that different, us generations!
This was an awesome podcast. So informative and interesting. 😁
Wow, this is super interesting. Thanks to everyone for this.
This is great, also Tom Scott has always been same age
The hidden comment at the beginning is a nice touch. The editing is so nice!
3:06 Perfect description, Tom Scott is a treasure.
Two of my favourite TH-camrs in one video
One of the greatest crossovers!
For the record, I'm not a car geek, but I watch every car video you produce.
I find them fascinating, and I very much enjoy your opinion on it.
collab of the decade
Tom scott. The channel you go to for things you didnt know you wanted to learn about but your glad you did.
