The weekend is here my dudes! This week Mike steps in to set Luke a Close to the Sun-inspired electrical challenge. Enjoy!
Shocking! I'm so amped up! I think it's time to volt!
Was the fast-forward part the bit where Luke took the blue wire out of the neutral pin and put it back in from the correct side?
According to solipsism, any information that can be known about something cannot be communicated.
How do you *know* that solipsism says that?
I'm going to be honest I wasn't expecting the philosophy discussion 😂
Anyone on the team play Overwatch's Storm Rising?
"Nicola Telsa was famous for inventing the electric automobile with his friend Elon Musk who also invented the planet Mars." This is officially the most disturbing alternative history idea, I've ever heard.
Somewhere, Jane is going into a furious rage. Andy is assisting.
@@mattball8622 But Andy's dead this week isn't he? Or this another one of his lies.
@@coyoteartist A true master of stealth is like Schrödinger's cat.
@@mattball8622 Deep man, like 6 feet.
Watches Luke discuss philosophy off the top of his head:
I feel dumb.
Watches Luke reconnect a plug:
I feel better now lol
I can't believe how much I learned????
I came for the video game talk and stayed for the philosophy/plug wiring class.
And if THAT isn't an unexpected combination :'D
I learned more about the plug wiring, I'd not seen the inside of that style of plug before.
That was top shelf wiring but not really useful information for me. I live in Canada and we have the more dangerous plug type and our wires come pre-molded and we have the White, black and mostly bare copper for earth. We are not supposed to re-wire anything and it has to be left to electricians technically (though I have re-wired some parts of a house alongside my father) but electrical code handbooks can be purchased at the local hardware store and the homeowner can as I last understood can do wiring as well.
@@sarah1390 Sounds like the same rules as the US. I've not had issues with it personally.
Best show of the weekend ever! You guys, Luke and Mike, are great together.
@@marhawkman303Yeah it is the same colour coding for Canada and the US. There might be slight differences in the code depending on which province (or in your case state) that you are living in. I found it fun as I have been watching UK electricians and others Tech TH-camrs that post electrical projects (Channels are bigclive.com, Julian Ilet, and thomas nagy). I was just stating that this was not as useful for a North American Audience but still funny as hell to watch.
Wait, only Pikachu? Where is Ellen's Eevee?
**Realises the dark truth**
😱
@@maxvel0city906 At least Eevee tasted delicious...
ifindyourlackofhumordisturbing _ I have eaten rabbit before, and yes, it's delicious...
See... my... vest!
See my vest!
Made from real Eevee chest!
@@XescoPicas Isn't Eevee based on a fennec fox?
I think if he lived as a Luke Westaway lookalike, that he should rebrand as a Luke-a-like.
This is the part where we boo you, right?
@@NotAVeryGoodNickname I mean, I would boo me if I was in your shoes.
Beat me to the joke. I applaud your puniness.
thought the same thing. no Ellen, no bad puns I guess... :D
This is a terrible, terrible joke. I applaud you.
"I think therefore I am"
"Egbert, I'm going to need you to roll a Wisdom check..."
With his luck it will be a nat 1 because it doesn’t involve explosions.
1 - 1 = 0 ... i think i'm lost now :P
@@kallasantysanty6092 does getting a crit fail in this context cause you to cease to exist?
Does it even apply to egbert? I mean he doesn't think much
Alternate Mike with glasses: He's the one with all the info. You learn stuff from him.
Regular Mike without the glasses: He's the one with the explosions. You learn to never Go Full Mike...EVER!
"Nicolas Tesla is famous for inventing the electric automobile with is friend Elon Musk who also invented the planet Mars"
Wow, Mike! Angering both Andy AND Jane with ONE statement is an impressive but risky move!
"Oh no, a philosophy question! So over my head." Minutes later, launches into a detailed discussion of solipsism and its critiques. Methinks he doth protest too much.
With a suspiciously-precise definition off the top of his head, too.
He's a philo major, wasn't he?
@@aodyssey6601 Well he was a real journalist before he got this gig as entertainer/media personality, so at least some liberal arts education probably.
@@MCrow-kn2wl English major, I think. IIRC, he wrote a paper about comma usage.
Didn't he forget to tell us how it goes horribly wrong?
Silly Luke. Always running around on mars and saying his funny catchphrase "IM NOT LUKE, HE TRICKED ME ON THIS ROCKET AND GLUED A LUKE WIG ON ME!" hahaha classic Luke 😄
Soliptopia... That's brilliant! I'm glad I thought of it! Thanks, my brain, in the guise of Luke!
why isn't it Solipcity?
@@SpydersByte It suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Solipsopolis. Why isn't it Solipsopolis?
@@merepseu because polis still means city in greek, and with one inhabitant it could barely be called that!
''Topia'' on the other hand fits easily..
That was such a heartwarming father and son bonding episode 🥰 loved electrician dad
@@rizkyanandita8227 no it was Cthulhu-dad possessing undead (or just dead) Mike
If Mike is the electrician dad then who is the electrician mom? Cause Mike is wearing a wedding band in the video.
Sean Allerdings Luke and Mike are both married
Both dads now lol
So Mike has resurfaced for being killed by “Andy” and now Ellen’s stuck a a dark room, Mike has traded her soul for his 😳
Hang on, did Mike just essentially teach Luke how NOT to cause an explosion? I'm so confused right now.
Well you kinda have to know how a thing works first if you want it to *work wrong and boom* instead of doing nothing
@@dragon-kitty Yeah, Mike loves carefully managed and controlled explosions.
He wants to make sure only he causes explosions, I think ;)
Everybody gets one.
Don’t be a Dob.
Do be a Clive. Clive was the best of us.
Are you sure Ellen isn't testing Andy's new Labo peripheral. Someone may need to check France.
You're right! I didn't think of that.
I can't believe Luke missed Mike's glorious, "Is he an absolute unit?" call.
Well, you did it, Mike. You've somehow made the most educational episode in the history of OXtra.
I've got physics GCSEs coming up and neutral bluetral is actually really helpful. Thanks Luke!
Physics GCSEs involve plug wiring colours these days?
My most useful aide memoir was Cathode is negative because Cats-have-odour would be bad.
I always remembered the binding for DNA base pairs and their number of hydrogen bonds because I had some friends dating (Amy and Tom, Adenine and Thymine, 2 bonds) and at the time my Dad worked for Cheltenham and Gloucester (Cytosine and Guanine, 3 bonds). Been years now (friends are now married) and never forgot it!
@@raeredqueen101 I remember it by visualizing them in alphabetical order then folding it in half.
I'm watching a grown man wire a plug...
And I can't stop!
"He's dragging you around by your...waist. Let's say waist." Mike you and I both know that's not it
Mike: “WOW! They’ve got hairy feet as well!”
Me: “Mike, what part of ‘Totally Accurate’ do you not get?”
Also, I hear “Writhing Morass of Hobbits” is playing SXSW next year.
*comes for gaming, learns to rewire a plug*
You learn something everyday! Thanks guys!
Learns to rewire a British plug
@@hotduelist Yeah, I already knew how to wire several kinds of American plugs.
Nothing like two married men discussing philosophy and wiring
History, philosophy, electricity, oh my! Easily the most educational SOTW, that's for sure.
And with out Andy ... wait a minute, Mike is dead, Ellen is now locked away, Andy is nowhere to be seen ... Andy is pretending to be Mike to secretly teach us all the things he wants!!! Just why, for the historically accurate hell, did he choose electricity as one of the first lessons???
@@kallasantysanty6092 maybe it's a hint as to the nature of the weakness in Jane's doomsday plan? Maybe we just have to figure out how to dismantle the wiring properly?
As an electrician I found this funnier than I should have. Good job Luke! I have a free space for an apprentice.
Two guys to wire one plug.
That's how many OX staff you need.
Now I wonder about the lamp.
Congrats Luke on passing electrical class. I do remember wiring outlets and plugs as being an oddly satisfying puzzle.
Adventure games in real life are even more shocking then the virtual ones :)
Man when Luke said his drawing was a dumb joke I thought it would be a Lion King picture since it’s a ‘problem free philosophy’ instead he went next level.
Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is how I imagine all the fights in Oxventure actually go
Just with less hobbits :)
Clearly the hobbit is represented by Ellen
@@jackryan4605 Or Ellen is represented by Hobbit, and what are the equivalents of other OXVentures in that game?? Prudence is probable the bone mage, Dob cannot be the bard becouse he do not run as often from the fight, maybe the berserker? Egbert is clearly a cross between minotaur and the dragon :) And we will need to wait for pirates for Corazon. If any one have other propositions i will be happy to hear them :)
*hobbit climbs on a stump and yells in a goat horn like a megaphone* PRESENTING THE GIANT HOBBIT
*Ellen proceeds to walk out pissed off for not saying the agreed upon name*
@@jackryan4605 Ellen - the giant elfen hobbit. I think you may be visited by an angry bear realy soon :P
Ellen had prepared for trouble but failed to make it double, a classic error
This is amazing 😂 Complex philosophy and wiring a plug, this is why you guys are the best 😂😂😂
This is probably my favourite episode of SOTW yet. Thanks for lightening up my Saturday Mornings every week! Keep up the great work, guys! :)
Fun fact: On a ready-to-wire cable, the earth should have the most slack, and the live the least. That way, if the cord is yanked out, the live is pulled out first, rending the circuit inert, and the ground last.
I came to watch a funny show of the weekend video... I didn't expect to be given a lesson of philosophy & electricity
That's how this show works, it goes places ... strange places ... but somehow it is always fun :P They could try teach me how to paint a landscape for half an hour and i would still love it the same :D
Kallasanty Santy UpIsNotJump did a video of him painting following a Bob Ross clip and it actually turned out amazingly. The things you see.
*@**1:53** -"The stoner could be just some teenager smokin' a bowl."*
-"Yes, so let's get a few of them in."
Whilst doing electrical work; NEVER WEAR METAL RINGS!!!!! Doing me a frighten lol
Im adding rewiring a British plug to my list of random Handyman skills I've developed over the years.
Wow, Luke flexing the philosophical muscles! I am, genuinely (seriously this isn't sarcasm) impressed! Nice work there :)
Awesome, that Lord of the Rings-Gangbeast mashup looks perfect!
Total tonal shift to the philosophy stuff but that's why we watch Show of the Weekend. And the electrical plug building was a thing of beauty (reminds me of the good old college days ).
Best Tesla appearance, in my opinion.
Sanctuary. I know it isn't a game, but still. He is awesome in that show!
As an electrician I'm just face palming watching Luke and his woeful attempt at wiring a plug
I've taught my grandchildren ( 15, 13, 10, 11) how to wire one. The 10 year old even knows Ohms Law and how to chose the correct fuse for the appliance
TIL: British plugs have a fuse in them. And you don't have to be a qualified electrician to wire one.
Ellen, realistically speaking, pikachu could survive a lot longer on your corpse than you could survive on pikachu’s, so he has the best chance of survival. Maximize the chances of a successful survivor is all I’m saying.
Ellen threatening to eat Pikachu?
That's shocking I tell you, shocking!
Thundershocking?
Not as shocking as Ellen will find it if she tries to make good on that threat.
Pikachu is a realy shocking snack :) Eating it raw would be hair-raising experience :))
I can totally see this as Luke inviting Mike over after school and that warms my heart
*tries replicating the wave at the end*
*accidentally rewires a plug and gets shocked*
I used that EXACT wiki page to write a paper about Descartes in my college Rhetoric class!
I like how Luke and Ellen give each other arts and crafts challenges and then mike comes in like “I need my kitchen light switch fixed somehow”
Did Outside Xtra just trick me into learning a useful skill?!
Only if you are British or use their kind of outlets, but yes they did :)
i would have gone with Stoicism, just draw a room with everything on fire in the middle of a mountain. with people just sat around going, "oh well, what can you do" :D
Or Zen-Ellen inside a burning overcooked kitchen, with Luke and the rest runing around in panic. But that works only with Ascended Zen Master Ellen :P
Mike in serious contention for this week's acting award for that scream at 28:47. Wait... he wasn't acting was he?
At least now Luke knows how to LIGHTEN up a room better. That man has a BRIGHT future ahead of him as long as he doesn't develop a short FUSE
Quality PUNage from the community as usual. 👍😀
@@maxvel0city906 thank you! Love this community so it's always nice to give back 😂
We covered how to wire a plug in GCSE Physics class (not to mention my Dad teaching me years before). I realise most appliances come with pre-wired plugs now so we don't necessarily need it these days but it feels weird to me that this knowledge is no longer universal.
Wait. Luke doesn't know how to wire a plug? Why?
*10 seconds later*
What the hell is that plug? It has a fuse?!
UK plug, isn't that bad.
You should see a XLR connector in a hot-cold configuration.
I don't have the slightest idea of how to do it.
P.S.: silly me, forgot that there a 3 pin version, I was talking about the 5 pin one, that also has phantom power.
UK plugs have fuses in them because they were developed in conjunction with a wiring system that reduced the amount of wire required in a home, but which did not allow whole-circuit protection to be rated low enough to protect individual appliances. So fuses were added to the plugs themselves in order to provide sufficient protection for the appliances (and the cords) that they were attached to.
ALSO just realized--Mike and Luke are married! (to each other...? who can say!)
Mike being a real bro teaching Luke some important life skills. Not a skill that's often utilised but hey, the more you know. Right?
I think that the Hobbit mod for world war Z looks great!
What are you talking about? World War Z looks tame by comparison!
In all my experience with electricity and electronics, the one thing I've learned to be a universal truth is that you MUST keep the magic smoke, INSIDE the circuits. The magic smoke makes the whole thing work. If you let it out it stops working.
Is it weird how much I enjoyed watching Mike teaching Luke to wire a plug? 🤣
Ive just learnt how to rewire a plug.. i didnt think i would be learning that this morning. Thanks OutsideXtra! 😄
I've just learned to rewire a plug. In the wrong country.
Wiring plugs must be a generational thing. Before 1992 shops didn’t have to include plugs on electrical items so you had to buy the plug separately and wire it yourself.
I love how little self-control Luke and Mike have when they’re together. Usually one of the others will reign in some of their explosive gameplay styles, but when it’s just them:
Luke: Mike, I’m going to do a crazy thing.
Mike: Good plan, good plan. But also let’s add more explosions.
Luke: Great idea!
Aww, Mike is gonna be a good dad some day. He encouraged that really tall child to learn without letting him hurt himself and did a great job of uplifting him when he got off track! Also, bluetral!
This was such a great episode, more plug rewiring and totally accurate battle simulators please.
Is Luke's jumper an unintentional Hitman reference? He can't help but be on brand!
So, what did Mike do wrong to end up having to do community service and teach the young-uns basic life skills?
Well done to Luke! I only learned by studying plugs, mostly in the dark after blowing a fuse. I've had some interesting encounters with electricity, I trained to work backstage in the theatre. Theatres need a shitload of power, and they have three times the amount of electricity, which is why I don't do anything whatsoever to mess about with electricity. It scared the bejesus out of me hearing the hum of the three boards being used by a play in full flow. Anyway, rewiring is not easy and I'm very impressed by his ability to work out how to do this.
I love this game! I first played this in 2016 when it came out (super early access I think). Coincidentally I’ve got a video coming out about Totally Accurate Battle Simulator (TABS) on Monday. Glad you enjoyed this hilarious wonky game! It is so much fun!
This was like the unused footage of the Scouring of the Shire from LotR
OMG I REALLY enjoyed this episode of Show of the Weekend!!! Mike, your questions and humor and ELECTRICIAN PROWESS with Luke's lovely ability to humor just about any nonsense with such grace was honestly refreshing!! Bless the day I found Oxboxtra
7 and a half minutes of rewiring a plug 🤣🤣
The close-up of 'Find Your Peace' on Luke's jumper while he panic-rambles about wires at 20:43 is the best use of comic irony I've ever seen on this channel
Well done on rewiring a plug Luke. Now ask Mike what a cars electrics look like. Start with the fuse box and then look at the wiring harness. That's it! Luke, your Xmas challenge this year is to change the oil and spark plugs in Mike's car. He won't mind if you make a mistake, so no pressure.
It would be brilliant if Mike's car had a direct injection engine (they don't have spark plugs) The confusion on Luke's face, that's an Andy level prank right there.😀
WOW!!! When Mike was listing possible philosophical schools of thought I said aloud "Solapsism!" But then thought "Well, he can't draw that." I guess I underestimated Luke's artistic genius.
Didn’t really think about the fact that the UK has different wire color standards than the US until this video. Fascinating.
As a philosophy enthusiast I really appreciated this episode. What I always found interesting was Descartes' wave of the hand dismissal of the "Evil Genius" proposition. Great job as always guys!
First military strategy, then philosophic schools and finally how to rewire a plug. This is the most educational show of the weekend ever.
Luke: “is there a right and wrong way up to put it?”
Mike: “i dont think so”
They plug it in and a fire instantly erupts burning the studio down.
Jane: “great people are going to think this was me.”
Only the raw presenting talent of the OXBOX team can make the task of assembling a plug essential Sunday morning viewing.
Literally crossed my fingers as they plugged it in for the red light confirmation.
The fact that I knew what Luke was talking about during his philosophy lecture was very comforting to me as my philosophy final exam on scepticism is in like two weeks. Maybe there’s still hope!
Never in my life have I had so much fun watching someone try to assemble a plug
I don’t know what has traumatised me more this week - the dead-eyed swarm of hobbits taking down entire armies with the power of salmon leaps, or the existential crisis ensuing from Luke’s unexpected philosophy lesson. Cheers, boys.
A combination philosophy and electrics lesson was definitely not what I expected today, but here we are. Luke, what a well of knowledge!
Can I say, Luke, when Mike posed the question, I immediately went to Rene Descartes' concepts, and the ideas of how solipsism might function in a society, and you came up with the perfect, if also hilarious answer and I am simply in awe. Well done good man.
Dang I really appreciated Luke's drawing on Solipsism because I am really intrigued by that philosophy.
Most people call it loneliness.
So I rarely get to sit down and watch one of your videos front to back(crazy house lots of animals). I often have to pause a lot, do my thing and come back. One thing I've noticed is you folks have some of the best "pause faces" I've ever seen. Keep up the good work ;P.
I'm a simple person, I remember being taught the wires in UK plugs being the R in Brown for right, and the L in Blue for left. So what's left goes in the middle!!!
My philosophy is a mix of many, I tend to like to see a bigger picture than narrow down to one specific. I don't like to limit myself to one idea, I like to be open minded.
Luke - "Mike, I see you wondering what is it all I have here."
Mike - "Yeah, is it new Xbox controller?"
Luke - "No Mike, it is Keyboard and mouse. For Laptop."
Mike - "What is Laptop?"
Luke - "I don't realy know, you brought it here!"
I like how this challenge was just Mike slowly teaching Luke how to rewire a plug.
The plug bit was amusing to me as I am a robotic engineer in the US. I do now how to put together a European field attachable plug. One thing I completely forgot is that brown is hot and blue is not on your AC lines as well. US actually is using Brown and Blue for +24VDC and 0VDC reference on sensor lines in robotics. It is harder to get the US color code with sensors.
Absolutely shocking episode! I always feel so grounded after watching Show of the Weekend.
BOOO!
(boo).
Ellen and Luke get trapped/locked in things so much, they really should just carry survival kits at all times
Or maybe a crowbar to break out
“And you’re not real!” Luke westaway 2019
Way to give me the existential crisis my dude 😂
Nikola Tesla finally getting the recognition he deserves!
Shocking, isn't it?
All the games his name was used in aparently did not do much then. Tesla coils/guns/gadgets where in more games then nuclear weapons. :D
Boooo! At K Coller specifically! ;)
Philosophical schools of thought? Electrical wiring? Oh my god, I can't believe you'd make me learn something, Mike. What am I watching, an ~educational~ video? Ugh.
(Iloveyouguys🙆💕)
This episode of Show of the Weekend was oddly educational. I learned the basics of some philosphies and I was reminded on how to wire a plug. In fact, the last time I had to wire a plug was when I fixed theatre lights back in high school... good times...
My personal life philosophy, that quite accurately describes my life so far, i call negativism - if anything can go wrong it will and be worst then you think. If by any chanse it does not, then it is just building the height to drop you with even more power to the ground, so you shatter to even more pieces. Life sucks and you need to learn to live with it, and try to be happy in the rare moments when the bad luck is just taking its time to bite you hard later. And no, it is not depresing, just realistic.
Anyway great show as always, a happy moment in the eye of the storm, just before the winds strike again :)
Love how Luke let Mike do the honours with the plug...Great faith in your own work there Luke👍
Every time I see the hobbits fight, I think of the zombies from World War Z
When Mike and Luke were going heavy into philosophy, the only thing I could think of was the bloodied bag from PT saying "the only me is me, are you sure the only you is you? "
