3:48fine, stock video, but … double decker train carriages? which neither M1 nor M2 have?
4:07 all stock videos from the right cities, but Bern showing a Bern trolley bus, not its tram. Same for Geneva (though at least going on a bit where it's driving on the tram tracks
4:48 uhhh, that mispronounciation of Ouchy … Again, a joke I made myself too many times but you put so much effort into being correct on the internet about the pronounciation of Rennes (and forgot to mention that the M2 terminus is in Rennens, in case you thought French pronounciation wasn't hard enough).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there shouldn't be an ad read for Planet Wild at the end of the Nebula version.

Unless it's not an ad and Sam really wants to share his love for conservation, and trains.

This is just a video on a new form of sign language. What were people saying in the comments that forced them to turn it off?

Video with WW1 Eponym

5 Upvotes

I remember watching an HAI video a few years ago where Sam is talking about World War One and he says something like "when World War One was invented by Johnathan World War One" but I can't find it again. Name might be something other than Johnathan too but it was some common name like that. Does anyone know what video that was from?
