Tom Scott: even more normal than "the normals"

Jamie: Can we source a large frying pan? Tom: When you say /sɔːs/...? The subtitles are just brilliant, thank you.

The reason Mike is so good at giving instructions is that he has experienced that blind panic himself He understands and really did everything he could to set Tom up for success.

6:45 I love how he stops himself right before saying, "I'm not a Complete idiot!" like he just remembered some of the stuff he did that would challenge that notion.

Technologically advanced ratatouille Thank you Tom, Remy would be proud

I'm going to be honest, I wasn't really expecting making toast to be the problem here.

The phonetic spelling in the captions when Tom asked for clarification on what was meant by sauce/source added so much, I actually laughed just at that

Tom Scott: "I can't cook." Also Tom Scott: made dishwasher salmon, English breakfast using a clothes iron, and fingerprint dissolved in pineapple juice

i wholeheartedly believe that the sole purpose of this channel is to make 'six degrees of tom scott' a thing on youtube

It is super bizzare having the SORTED guys without the sorted music or editing... Very uncanny valley. Can't wait to finish this crossover!

Instructions: Tom, chop the shallots. Tom: There's shall-lots of them! Instructions: Tom, tear the mushrooms into a pan. Tom: There's not mush-room in there! Instructions: Tom, use the large GRATER Tom: ok.

To everyone who "can't cook"—Tom spent one hour making two things, and it went well, despite his lack of knife skills and comfort. Then he was comfortable making a third thing. It is that simple. Find instructions that help you get where you want, and improv from there!

There's something really refreshing about a person humbly trying things he's uncomfortable with, just for the sake of discovering a thing that some people might consider trivial because they grew up doing it And doing all of it without trying to turn it all into a big goofy "pure content" video, especially today when it's so much easier and more "fashionable" to just pose as an expert for one substance-less video This is very enjoyable to watch, like your bike learning video for example Thank you for this healthy approach sir, it was half an hour well spent

5:30 i will never get over the fact that Tom slices lemons vertically

I never realized how humanizing it would be to watch someone struggle so much to chop an onion! Honestly, though, it was a nice reminder that we all have things we specialize in and things we struggle with - even if we're not all science buffs or home chefs, we've all got a skill that someone else finds difficult. Loved the collab!

What’s really fascinating here is that as a teacher, you’re always told how important it is to tell your kids where you’re going in the lesson - for them to be able to see at the beginning what the end-result is meant to be. Sometimes I’m not entirely convinced that it’s valuable, but Mike was SO good at that at the beginning, and I genuinely think it made a huge difference.

That "(plosive wheezing)" in the closed captions at 3:02 is one of the most Tom Scott things you could have

Hearing Tom say "peel and then chop 200 grams of goddamn shallots!" is somehow the most british thing I've ever heard. It sounds like a line from an old Monty Python sketch or something.

Hey we've apparently found out what we need to avoid a Huttlestorm. It's, funnily enough, to add in someone who's more likely to panic and suddenly Mike goes full zen.
