Deleted Scene from Map Men 8
Added 2019-05-15 17:11:58 +0000 UTCAs an extra special treat to say thank you for being a Patreon patron patrn, here is an extra special treat… a DELETED SCENE from this week’s episode of Map Men.
This scene contained A LOT of mistakes. Can you spot them all? Correct! They are....
1. I got the year wrong. It wasn't 1936. It was 1978. Visibly so.
2. I got the fact wrong. He wasn't a sports fan, he was a university graduate. OSU isn't a sports team, it's a university. Hence the U.
3. These aren't even trap streets! They were put in for a giggle, not to protect copyright. They're really obviously fake, cos they're all lower case, they have no dots, and they're across the border in Ohio, an area this map does not purport to include.
I very nearly left this scene in, because I only discovered the mistakes with one day to go before the sponsor’s deadline, and couldn’t be arsed. But Mark phoned me and made a rousing speech about how you should always tell the truth while Land of Hope and Glory played in the background. He also made some excellent points about how slapdash my attitude to thorough research was. So with determination in our nostrils, we set about finding a replacement trap street story that was a lot more 1936y, and could be added to our video with graphics and voiceover in a matter of hours. And we made it. Just in time!
Unfortunately, that last minute stressful rush meant that I couldn’t get this video to you Patreon Patrons in good time, and it was only exclusive to Patreon for about 2 hours before going fully public. So this extra bonus thing is my way of saying I’m really sorry and I’m really thank you!
For those of you already paying extra ($10 or more) for behind-the-scenes stuff…. Don’t worry, you STILL get exclusive behind-the-scenes stuff that no one else does. In fact, there’s one of those posts coming up in the next few minutes!
In the meantime, I really have rattled on for too long, and there are cars beeping behind me, so I’d better stop typing.
Goodbye!!!! x
