#ScamNation #Numberphile #Interview - Jak na to + styl
End game has been out for just 2 days and it is no longer the most ambitious crossover in the history of the world
And so it began...
I think you mean "anticipated"
"Theoretically, you could calculate pi purely by just watching the trendline as you drop millions and millions of needles."
Someone get Matt Parker on the phone!
would it work in a becher
Now this is a surprising crossover. I'm subbed to you both!
Same
Ditto
It's really exciting to see the commonality they have in their love of tricking people, then teaching them how it's done. Marvelous stuff
I ship these two so much!
(Joke)
Me too.
When two of your favourite people on youtube cooperate and you don’t expect it at all
Like having two gay dads.
Overlap of viewership? Yup! Subbed to both Numberphile and basically all of Brian's channels lol
@@Nerdycopia Yeah, forgot to mention that in the op lol
I'm part of that venn diagram
I wish I could see the stats.
As a mathematician, this is one of my favourite types of conversion. When you get to geek out and explain stuff to someone who is interested in maths but is still a relatively lay person :)
I fit that description, I would be interested in chatting with you if you would be down for that?
@@donaldblevins2555 I'm always happy to chat maths, although the practicalities are a bit more tricky in CZcams comments!
If you want to find out more cool stuff, I thoroughly recommend Numberphile, thesingingbanana and Standupmaths :)
James Grime is one of my absolute favorite mathematicians, and Brian Brushwood is one of my absolute favorite rogues and magicians, so of course I'm subscribed to both of you
you do have an overlap in viewers, well, i'm subbed to you both at least ;)
So weird to hear Brady described as "The guy who runs numberphile" haha
DOCTOR Brady Haran, if you don't mind ;-)
@@pewlitzer4251 he's not a doctor, but he does have the Australian version of a Knighthood, more or less. Queen Liz 2.0 gives knighthoods and MBE's to British people, and for Australian people they have the same thing but they're uniquely for Australians only. And Brady has got one of those, even though all the work he's famous for was done in the UK, so he could have very justifiably received the British one instead. But yeah.
@@duffman18 He has an honorary doctor from the University of Nottingham: czcams.com/video/Bxfds5KP1Z4/video.html . My comment was in reference to a conversation he had on the "Hello Internet" Podcast with CPG Grey, where he mentioned that he teases his sister with the title. So yeah.
Or as Micheal Stevens would put it: "You and I are different... Or are we?" *Cue VSauce music*
Hey! VSauce, Michael here....
Don’t make me miss the old vsauce vids 😅
Jake Chudnow - Moon Men*
Watch dong
oof the feels hit
Scam Nation AND Numberphile!? Pinch me, I must be dreaming!
I use this trick in math class for my nine times table.
I found this channel in my feed this week because I saw Dr. Grime on the thumbnail. Love Numberphile, and I'm loving your work too Brian. Watched several hours of videos this week to get up to date. Still got a ways to go.
I've been such a huge fan of both of these channels for years, I love this!
Love both these guys I am 35 and have been watching scam school since the beginning and am pumped how it has evolved into Scam Nation. His videos I really feel reach out to a group of people that not a lot of CZcamsrs try and reach with there videos and content.
Thank you so much for this interview with Dr. Grime! We fans don't often get to see him talk about himself--it was a treat.
Wow, this is so great. Loved the discussion!
That was a fantastic episode. I loved the interview and the parallels between the magic and the math (or maths ;-) ) Also, he has an Enigma Machine!?! That is freaking awesome. I geeked out at that part of the interview.
James I started watching you at 17 years old. You got it right away 😂
HOLY CRAP!! Best crossover episode ever. I follow both of you guys
This is one of my all time favorite team up! Both of you two are amazing! I always knew Brian was a math guy!
Such a great collaboration. Keep up the good work
Love both you guys. Hearing this discussion on audience and methodology was very interesting!
So now we just need Matt Parker and everyone'll be all linked up. XD
Once we connect them all we’ll get... a Parker Square?
@@Aquila009 Damn I was gonna reply that =P
@@Aquila009 For that we'd need Keith from Objectivity.
Yes. You have an overlap of viewership. Love both these channels AND numberphile. Keep up the good work.
Nerrrrrrrrrrrds
Keep up the good work :P
I love it when some of my favourite YT authors get together. It's like watching Thor have coffee with Batman :D
This was super hype not gonna lie
Awesome! This was great! I think what it all boils down to is that you're both excellent story tellers. :D
I'm crying with joy watching this.
2 true legends
the best collab, keep it up!
Thanks for this Brian.
And I delv into the CZcams comments to find myself one of many subed to both channels! This is an amazing colab video!
Subbed to both scam school and singingbanana
I do maths at uni and I'm a part time magician and omg this is just so amazing
OMG! This is so amazing...I can't take it but I'll survive! Love you both.
Wheres the longer video of you two nerding out? Id totally watch that!
This was a great conversation!
Really interesting conversation! Great video! :D
When I got the notification I saw "Grimes" and thought: "Oh, he got that guy from walking dead. that's cool"
Then i clicked the video and said: "Oh sh't! That's the guy from numberphile! F'in awesome!"
This is amazing!!
Hey I’m in that crossover section in the Venn diagram..! Been subbed to you both for years!
Very nice, thanks!
Having recently gone back in the archive and watched one of your old videos I am glad for the reduction in the amount of hair gel involved in this channel... :D
Im a subscriber! have been for ages. i love maths and magic
My recommendation led me to this channel and liked it! I'll say Numberphile/Singingbanana viewers will like this channel!
nice!
It was amazing listening to two people so eager and entrenched into their craft enjoy time together like this.
Also, I feel silly that I was so easily jump scared by the cut to a BSOD
Wow. Love you both. Cool to see you come together and nerd out 🤓
You guys are awesome deff show us more things
Definitely subscribed to both!
Love numberphile and scam school perfect episode!!!!!!!
Only six minutes in (and watched the previous video too), I'm just itching for them to say the words "Brady Haran" so I can giggle to myself about "ambitious crossover event" and the like :P
I love this power-up!
I think I enjoyed this video way more than most Scam Nation, the casual nature of it was great.
I am following Numberphile, first because of Matt Parker, but man I like all the people on there. And I have been following Dr Brushwood since... Forever...
I've been watching Numberphile and Scam School for years.
So has a lot of other people!
Loved this. Been an adult educator for a few years and have had the opportunity to attend one of James’ codebreaking workshops (ifs great btw) The best part is that students see the transformation of a Maths from the chicken nugget guy (or the three towns problem) to something a bit deeper. It’s often a gateway to show that Maths is something more than equations and abstract.
I’m sure every person who loves Maths has experienced that moment where they were absorbing information and realised that but for time and place they had all the tools to have discovered it themselves. I think this is the essence of what makes Maths and ‘Magic’ intersect.
Chris Mohan - If you enjoy codebreaking and ciphers, here’s a lecture series that you might enjoy. It starts out with the very first ciphers and ends with modern cryptography and computer encryption. I just found it, a few days ago, and I’m addicted to it. The lectures are by Dr. Christof Paar. His website is www.crypto-textbook.com The website has a lot of great cryptography information, and some really cool links, to other cryptography websites. Here’s the first lecture: czcams.com/video/2aHkqB2-46k/video.html Take care and have fun! :-)
William J. Thanks so much. That’ll give me something to get my teeth into this weekend !
Numberphile has done a number of other videos on divisibility tricks that describe other patterns other than the 9 trick.
@19:03 I think there is also a Numberphile video on calculating Pi via tooth picks :)
It's cool and unexpected to see you both :)
That's funny, I am 17 and subbed to both channels
Same!
How is the age relevant? What am I missing?
he just wants you to think he is older then he actually is
@M. de k. Ah, I heard that and didn't connect the dots. Thank you :)
James grime would make an interesting modern rogue episode
This is a fascinating conversation between two creators I have followed on and off for years and I can't properly take it in because there's a fucking gap in the railing behind Brian and it's driving me up that god damn wall.
I liked only because of Brian's accent at the end. Clean and clear, beautiful. 👍
10:27 This has to be the best ad for a sponsor I've seen so far. Nice and creepy. 10/10 would buy. (I don't have much choice since it's a mandatory website anyway *snicker*)
I wish I could nerd out and talk math with these two guys all afternoon!!!!
I hope you filmed something about his non-transitive dice!
My two favourite people ❤️👍❤️
my baby Grime with my daddy shwood without a c ❤️❤️❤️
Akshat K Agarwal sounds dirty
@@oz_jones supposed to
Wait... Did you have Dr Grimes at the Distillery? That's awesome. I wanna have a drink with him now.
Thanks for explaining the sign-off! Fully Charged also uses it, and their delivery just kept confusing me.
Definitely an overlap of viewers. I've been a fan of ScamSchool/Numberphile for years. I actually found SS through the puzzles/math-type videos, and I think Np was suggested as a result of watching so many math-ish scams haha ;). Word play, number play, cryptograms (which I guess are both?)...I love it. On a related note, I would love to see a video on SS on the usage of mathematical card stacks that aren't Si Stebbins/CHaSeD order. Similarly, I would be thrilled to see a numberphile vid going in detail on the maths behind such stacks/why they work with such tricks/adaptations etc.... Just throwing out there....
I watch both.... no beers?
Would love to see a podcast with these 2 nerding out
Definite crossover. Been subscribed to Scam School, Singing Banana and Numberphile for so long.
Ayyy my two favorite nerds! I've talked to both of these fellers
Is there a psych channel that can explain the overlap? Triple threat!
I'm also subbed to both.
Ha, I haven’t seen Brian Bushwood since the early days of scam school, back when he had a Mohawk and Diggnation was a thing.
Brian, would you ever consider doing an episode on how to perform the Indian Needle trick?
Brians accent at the end sounded amazing, actually
I knew it! Deep down, Brian is just a math geek! ;)
You could start it like "Ever hear that the number 9 is magic? Let's try this: type 9 and then the times button."
That's pretty good, from a narrative perspective. The only downside I can think of is that, by highlighting the number, you might increase the odds of someone who knows about multiples of nine figuring it out.
Whoa! I recently subbed to Numberphile again on this account, and suddenly there's a crossover with ScamNation?!! Insane lol
I just realized that I watch too much Whisk[e]y Tribe when I recognized where you guys are sitting....
Just FYI, I am a 40yo engineer and I love both your channels.
Nice!!
Damm Brushwood you have guns. I haven't tuned in in quite awhile good for you!!
Thanks man! Though that gut's getting old. I'll probably lean out a bit over the next couple of months. It was fun getting strong for a bit!
Big fan of both dudes, can confirm they have at least a 5.2631e-5% overlap in viewership
“Oh, Teller once said in a letter he wrote to me....” You smooth fox, Brian, you!!!
Also, Brian, you mentioned the story about how to “swoop in and be the best chess player in town...” and the possible methods. Building on this, you really should lcheck out (pun intended), a video that’s on CZcams by Derren Brown, from a few years back. Basically, he has a circle of about 9 (I think) Grand Masters and similar champions, and walks around playing one move at a time on each table, and beats.... almost all of them. This, having just revealed he is “a rubbish chess player”. The method is just lovely; I won’t spoil it. Although how he does the very final twist at the end, with the envelope, is an absolute mystery, that melted my brain completely. If you figure out his method for the envelope part, I would buy you free drinks for life!!! Sorry I don’t recall the name of the show, but I saw it on CZcams......
Yes, I have watched Dr. Grime on Numberphile and, of course, tons of Scams
19:41 James, you should be very proud of that.
19:50 Brian, I have never really wanted to punch a child in the face until now, so thanks for that.
There is certainly an overlap in viewership. I sub to this channel, singingbanana, numberphile. Also standupmaths which is Matt Parker who also appears frequently on numberphile.
finally I could understand his end line... :D
My two favourite people 😍
The modern number rooooogue!
Lmafo this is amazing!!!
Best crossover in history
Is there a video of the explanation of the calculator and choosing a single digit that occurs at the beginning of this video? Thanks!
love it
14:17 He just read my mind
You 2 KNOW each other!?!?!?!? I had no freaking idea!
Also subbed to both
Actually just watched a numberphile video xD
James: 6:30
Me: :))))
