0:00.0	Which component must be fitted to commercial airlines, but cannot legally be used by passengers?
0:06.3	The answer to that at the end of the show.
0:07.7	My name's Tom Scott, and this is Lateral.
0:16.5	Today's guests are from Answer in Progress, a YouTube channel all about answering interesting questions,
0:21.7	like why pizza tastes good, the history of the sour-toe cocktail, how to teach an AI to make pasta.
0:27.1	I did just realize that I have just taken all your food videos there. Sorry about that.
0:31.2	Let's have some introductions, because you all know each other for once. This is going to be

1:37.7	UK. Or you don't know that party game. That's also what I was thinking. I don't know that party game.
1:44.3	What happens in Tom's house? Look, the scripts for this are just getting increasingly unhinged as time goes on, okay? And I am dealing with them as best I can. Are you telling me you have never, like, held up a broom, span around with your head down, and then try to walk somewhere? That's never a thing. That's never a thing.
