Safety Third is a weekly show hosted by William Osman, NileRed, The Backyard Scientist, Allen Pan, and a couple other YouTube "Scientists". Sometimes we have guests, sometimes it's just us, but always: safety is our number three priority.

Seeing Tom Scott on Safety Third is like seeing your teacher at a strip club.

[MrMaselko]

We all know that Tom always looks like he's in his 20s and 60s at the same time, but here he fits in perfectly while also being the odd one out.

Tom Scott continuing his excellent mission to collaborate with every YouTuber

Tom Scott really surprised me in this video, in two great ways: 1. He was a straight shooter with them, whether he meant to be or not. 2. He was confident and set hard boundaries, and was funny while doing it. He's always come across as the living embodiment of nervousness, so I didn't expect either of these.

[andreicmello]

I quite like how Tom pushed back on making this an interview on him, it made the podcast way way more pleasant.

[eskalainen]

Tom is unusually sane and collected for a guest on safety third.

[djtaitai]

Wow this is actually a treat getting Tom Scott. He’s made quite a name for himself on YouTube by doing just about everything. Very entertaining creator.

[richardmillhousenixon]

I love how it took 4 minutes for Tom to be cornered into talking about himself. I hate that it took Allen mentioning Caillou hentai for Tom to be cornered into talking about himself

[JemaKnight]

Honestly kind of odd to see Tom Scott in an environment where he's not in control of the situation and/or production; it's like running into your high school principal in a nightclub.

He's one of those weird Youtube cryptids who has done such a good job of isolating their professional life from their personal one that you kind of assume they functionally stop existing when a video ends. The man literally wears the same thing every single day, like a cartoon character... What am I supposed to

tom scott is 38 and william osman is 31... their energy and character is so different... when i watch toms videos i feel like watching a lecture from a prof, its so serious. when i watch wills videos i feel like watching myself making stuff out of my degree, its so experimental. both are lovely in its different way

[squillz]

Oh my god. Hearing Tom geek out about rollercoasters in the same way I do makes me so damn happy. Knowing manufacturers and track styles and all of that stuff. God to think he was PETRIFIED of getting on those coasters in his video, now he's as big an enthusiast as some coaster vets are. I love it!

[swankshire]

"we are bad at making videos"
"Well you gave up for a while" hahaha damn tom

[joshgallie]

Tom Scott: "I'm bad at improvisation"
Also Tom Scott: had an improvisation comedy troupe

[Morphior]

Regarding film photography: There's a saying: A medium format roll with 12 pictures yields 6 good ones. A 36-shot film roll also yields 6 good photos. And shooting 2000+ images onto an SD card also yields 6 images that end up being used. Really makes you think.

[aadhiarun]

I have never seen a man unintentially make such a god tier minecraft villager sound in my damn life. 22:07

[muffinman]

Seeing nilered and tom scott in the same video is about as surreal as it gets

[XENOXTA]

Somewhere, in an alternate universe, The Backyard Scientist joins Gary, Matt and Chris for a very interesting Citation Needed…

[johnmccotter]

I have never been more excited for a podcast

[rice_frying_shrimp]

The fact that Tom knew what the words "Caillou Hentai" were referring to sort of terrifies me...

[polarisvoid]

I have POTS and the way Tom describes passing out and having to use a g-strain maneuver to avoid this is very similar to the syncopes and convulsions I experience just from standing up! Only difference is that I remember the space in-between in a vague manner. I know it's happening beforehand, and I know it happened as I come back into consciousness, but the in-between is different. It starts as nothing, every semblance of thought is suddenly gone, there's nothing but existential static, like your soul left your body. Then you start to come back, first as feelings, then images, dreams, thoughts, and finally you wake up as your hearing and vision fades back in along with the rest of your senses, leaving you confused for only a moment.
