  big fan of how this is less 'Sad Boyz: featuring Tom Scott' and more-so 'Tom Scott gets full creative control and Jarvis and Jordan are just there for the ride'

  Thanks so much for having me on the show! (I have been wanting to rant about Schlag Den... for SO LONG thanks for being the venue.)

  The entirety of television history will have been a waste of human time and energy unless Tom Scott appears as a contestant on Taskmaster.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdAaCUn9Vx0&amp;t=3214">53:34</a> Australian here, in school we always called the game &quot;British bulldogs&quot; and hearing it referred to as just bulldogs in a British accent was like stars aligning

  I really like the format of the guest bringing the content and doing a little presentation for the Boyz, complete with an activity in the middle.

  I love Jarvis politely not talking as they reference a british experience

  NASA did literally change the definition of astronaut when jeff bezos went up there to specifically exclude him because he was never once even capable of touching the controls

  Tom Scott introducing people to the lore and games of „Schlag den X“ for four hours is now the only thing i want for Christmas.

  Only Tom Scott guests on someone else&apos;s podcast, and still brings the an entire episodes worth of stuff to talk about. What a lad.

  I need an entire series of Tom talking about Schlag den Raab (and Wetten dass, which has some mindboggling events und completely bewildered american celebrities sitting on a couch for 4 hours)

  some added context on Schlag den Raab/Star/Henssler: Stefan Raab as a host and comedian is a bit of an absurdist in style (see his early 2000s Eurovision performance for Germany as an example) and Schlag was essentially one of his many primetime formats that he and his own production company came up with (other one being the Wok-WM which was a celebrity competition show of sliding down bobsleigh tracks sitting in giant modified woks), so the contrast between the big spectacular set-piece games that are typical for primetime game shows and the very small mundane games that have next to no spectacle to them was also intended as a bit of a meta-joke on more typical game shows like this though of course the smaller games also work from a live production standpoint and were dragged out sometimes (like with the cutting in half game taking 25 minutes) to account for setup for the larger games as they took a lot of time rebuilding the studio space for each of the larger games, so one where you&apos;d only need one desk with scales, knives and various food items is a good game to throw in to buy time
