"I have never seen a mongoose lie in my life. And today hasn't changed that experience." With all the wacky personalities of BGC, Tom's dry delivery is always the bit that pulls the largest laughs out of me.

43:57 - Here you go Laurie: The bird's nests used for this soup are not simply found in trees, abandoned by their owners. These edible bird’s nests belong to the swiftlet, a small bird usually found in Southeast Asia. The swiftlet lives in dark caves and, similar to bats, use echolocation to move around. Instead of twigs and straw, however, the swiftlet makes its nest from strands of its own gummy saliva, which is produced by the glands under the tongue. The nest then hardens when exposed to air. The structure is quite impressive, a tightly woven hammock-like formation, made of strong threads that can be white, yellow, or red. The nest is secured to the rock wall in the cave, and therefore can be challenging to remove. Some of the processes of harvesting nests are extremely dangerous. The nests are usually located at the top of caves and the nest collector has to use a very narrow, shaky, and long wooden ladder which they climb on top of to reach the nests. Because this is so dangerous, many nest collectors have lost their lives. In addition to people spending a lot of money on bird's nest soup, there is another aspect of this dish that causes controversy: Swiftlets are an endangered species, and the more nests that are consumed, the closer swiftlets head toward extinction.

Here's my problem... They're all false for me. My thumb is longer than my nose, my forearm is longer than my foot, and everyone who has some knowledge of biology knows that bigger animals have slower heartbeats, that's why when you hold small house pets it feels like their hearts are beating out of control, so, on average, men's hearts beat slower than women's.

I'm with Blair. I'm terrible at social deduction games, but this game appeals to my ability to spin a crazy story about random trivia.

I feel like Tom’s mind is some kind of eldritch hellscape and all of his little camera moment quips give us tiny peeks into it

I love how in that very first round, the snakes advocated for the correct answer, and everyone else just kept misleading away from the answer. It was actually confusing and I had to double check who was actually "innocent" that round.

We loved this SO MUCH! Glad you all had fun and sorry about the mongoose curse...

Part of the reason there are 421 (I believe) words for various types of snow in Scotland is because the geography meant a lot of isolated communities with various cultural origins (Gaelic in the West, Norse in the North, Welsh in South-East, even some Low Countries stuff in the East), plus you have "tambuu" languages among fishing communities with their own words. Hence how we have an absolutely bewildering number of words, from scowtherin to flindrikin to glush to unbrak.

@scragar

Жыл бұрын

The figure is a misrepresentation of the facts. The people claiming there's 400+ took count of all words related to snow including words to describe snowflakes, snowballs, slush, snowfall, the sound of moving through snow, snowy footprints left after you come inside from walking in snow, or even just the act of walking through snow. Scotland doesn't have 400 words for snow. For snow itself there's about a dozen, which is a lot, but not ridiculous for the reason you outlined.

Bird is endangered too, so adding the peril faced by actually claiming the nests for consumption to the cost, you also have to factor their dwindling numbers - caused in no short part by the amount of their homes that are being destroyed for a luxury food.

Tom's idea of men's hearts beating faster because they're bigger is interesting. Because you've got Hummingbirds with a heart rate of 1000 BPM and whales with a BPM of 33. If you're big, your heart doesn't beat faster, it beats harder

9:00 Hi Star Wars Nerd here. R2D2 wins by a landslide if you think about it. He's in the entire movie consistently, whereas Obiwan is introduced over halfway in the movie and dies. Vader's scenes are iconic, but few and far inbetween. R2 D2 is the first character we meet in the film, even before Luke, we follow him and C3-P0 throughout most the movie and even when the heroes do take center stage, they have a lot of scenes, like helping stop the trash compactor or R2 flying with Luke during the Death Star Battle.

4:30 A funny thing always happens in hidden role games when you have to close and open your eyes. Everyone who has opened their eyes in secret exaggerate when opening their eyes for the 'first time'.

Tom says "the brain is dense". If anyone else had said this, the whole table would have said "YOUR BRAIN IS DENSE!"

Blair proves her point using observable examples and a table full of men go, "Nah, don't think so." A more perfect metaphor doesn't exist.🤣

I love playing this game, every time there's an animal question (not sure if the Swedish version has different questions) it's so easy for me to get points, regardless of which team I'm on. If I'm not a snake, I just day the right answer, but if I am a snake, I already know the answer and can make one of the wrong ones sound like the right one. When your ASD hobbies pay off 👍

As a Jeremy Brett Holmes fan I would die on the Sherlock hill. No snakes dragging me away

Why?

For the most common phobia, it could have been pointed out that sharp, pointy things have been around for the entirety of our evolutionary history, too. A needle is similar enough to a long, pointy tooth or claw that it could have been a valid competing argument. You could go even further by going further back in time to whatever ancestors we had that lived in the trees, since they likely climbed high to get away from the scary, needle like teeth or claws of predators, overcoming the lesser fear of height.

For those who are wondering, it's swallow's nests, and they're expensive because they are extremely difficult to collect.

Though l'm going to stop doing this for current videos as they've decided to integrate the talking heads into the uncut versions, I've decided to go through the entire playlist in chronological order, for Patrons taking a walk down memory lane I present the timestamps of the talking heads: 7:14 Sully 7:32 Jon ☝️☝️ Consecutive 10:44 Blair 11:38 Jon 15:15 Jon 15:31 Tom ☝️☝️ Consecutive 17:34 Laurie 18:40 Adam 19:48 cutaway swoosh (funny to me) 21:42 Laurie 26:09 Adam 27:52 Blair 31:03 Laurie 36:23 Blair 36:46 Sullivan ☝️☝️ Consecutive 39:08 cutaway swoosh again 39:16 Adam 39:32 Tom ☝️☝️ Consecutive 40:46 Tom 41:06 Jon ☝️☝️ Consecutive 43:33 Laurie 45:08 Blair 45:25 Adam ☝️☝️ Consecutive

After a quick google search, birds nest soup is made out of a bird’s nest that is made out of solidified saliva. It is apparently very tasteful and rich in protein.

I feel like this video kind of exemplifies the clear problem with this game of: if you dont know the answer then you just give free points to the snakes since they can most time just sit an say nothing and still win, but if you do know the answer then the games premise becomes worthless since you already know.

32:47 John saying that the snakes didn't have a leg to stand on. Did this comment just pass everyone by or is it just me that found this funny?

Blair is the Mongoose: Think its A, makes a case for it Adam: Isn't sure if the Answer is A, goes to question it Blair: Shut up snake, shuts him down Also Blair (when Adam didn't vote for A): I don't know why they didn't vote with me

About the phobias question, a good counter point would be that, because heights have been a thing for longer, the human species had more time to get used to it, and since needles and flying are "newer fears" it would be believable humans fear it more

I really wanna see you guys play Chamelion
