@Business Blaze - I have just purched purchzemerch.co it is now online and redirecting to your purchthemerch.co....allegedly. #FreeDanny
hahahaha, amazing.
A true legend.
Why is Simon wearing a Rick and Morty teeshirt?
Absolute legend!
Nah...it was, "Superman 3".
hehe.....
Danny writing scripts: "it not the destination, but the journey that matters"
Simon: "Are we there yet?"
Except when Simon goes on massive tangents of his own
Best format from simon
@@Monky44 agreed. And if you watch his other channels you can see the blaze leaks
@@Monky44 Sears Simon is best Simon
Simon: Bleach injections are not effective!
Me: But... but... bleach injections kill both the virus and the host. That makes it two times more effective!
200% efficiency
Plot twist : Simon's monopoly of UA-cam is a scam and he's the leader of a tax haven country, selling 11 inch subways
Venezteaga allegedly
Simonistan where all Simon clone lives along he have beef with neighbouring nation Ryanland.
Deep
That call back though, you legend
And laundering all the money he makes from cocaine sales.
My parents used to be SO pedantic when it came to buying stuff on eBay back in the day. I would buy stuff like used CDs and handmade crafts and they would lecture about how I didn't know the quality of the item, I didn't know if I would be scammed, this person may keep your address for nefarious reasons, etc. etc. The worst that ever happened on eBay is that I got a scratched copy of "London Calling" while my oh-so careful parents purchased a CAR, sight unseen, no test drives, and ended up spending more on repairs than they did for the car itself. I didn't point out the irony to them because they were already mad enough.
Point it out. Stoke that fire. I want updates.
same. parents can be dumb like that, my parents did the same thing again and again. they talk about how taking on debt is bad and then buy a junk car that uses really much fuel and breaks immediately "to save money" and spend way way more than they ever would have paid in interest. I eventually convinced my dad that buying a more expensive car is cheaper in the long run however his execution was terrible, he bought a junked Mercedes and spend thousands fixing it up Taking a year doing it and spending so much he could have just bought it from a dealership with warranty as a perfect condition 1st hand car instead.. parents never learn
"Danny the intro is too long"
*tells 3 minute story about a drone and eBay*
There is no such thing as a too long Blaze.
lol true.
Danny writes what should be a 10 min script and Simon turns it into a 30 min video. It’s no wonder he has to make a part 2 & 3 on some subjects. The cocaine doesn’t last long enough to do a 2 hr video
You have to remember that this the videos are edited down to make them meet a watch time limit.
The videos are edited down because there lots of boring stuff to cut out.
I'm starting to think that Siri is actually Danny being held hostage, that would explain the non-answer from her. THE CALLS ARE COMING FROM THE BASEMENT!
Allegedly
i assume there is no siri at all & he just likes screaming at that wall
@@owentheslug might a side-effect from the cocaine 🤔
@@nellom.8771 that's madness! ETA told me cocaine is a great boss babe opportunity for just a low investment of $10k & Simon could be my upline!
BRING OUT DRUG DRONE! ETA NEEDS A FRIEND!
Yes this! Drug drone needs to be on the shelves. Lol
Is there any cocaine still in that drone?
You definitely need to display the coke drone
Drug drone with a mysterious white powder in a baggy... hovering just over ETAs head... yes... this we need.
Smashing idea! Simon's background will soon look like a rendition of The Brave Little Toaster/ETA
Simon: Danny WHY is the script so long??
Also Simon: I have a 5 minute story which relates to this.
So, the first thing Simon mentions is how much his merch is compared to Amazon, then proceeds to talk about scams on the Internet. LOL. The irony was not lost on him, I feel.
Chef_PC he’s literally told us to NOT buy the stick bc they’re overpriced 🤣🤣
Stickers**
Given the freedom he has on this show, Simon is a confounding jumble of loose associations, keen observations and randomly timed insights.
I’m pretty sure the day ETA trips him with its power cord and he smacks his head, everything is going to get jumbled up in there. Then all the cocaine before each different show will make him just spout out random facts he’s read over the past 10 years like some sort of Encyclopedic Tourette’s.
@@ivyrose5153 but of course you will buy Simon's stickers
*pulls out a pocket watch
just keep your eyes on the watch.
You love Simon...Simon is love...purch the MERCH
I've watched almost every Business Blaze video searching for what makes a Business Blaze video a Business Blaze video. It has always eluded me, until today. I had an epiphany!
There are two things, and only two things, that are common threads through every Business Blaze video.
The MAIN defining attribute: Simon whining about how long the script is!
A SECONDARY, but tangentially linked, attribute: He almost always complains about how long the script is within 5 seconds of finishing some rambling story that may, but just as likely won't, actually relate to the topic of the video!
That's it! Nothing else! Love the videos, keep up the great work
Allegedly
@@sandybarnes887 good point! That's so ubiquitous it sort of escaped notice, but for some reason I feel like he didn't say it on today's video!!??
This is, obviously, a great use of my time, I will have to investigate more.
@@luminaether agreed. Simon is a fun way to pass time during this zombie apocalypse. And yes, I don't think he said it this episode.
At the end of the intro he did make mention that it was rather long. Not exactly the same thing, but clise
Me, waking up from a mid day nap: "oh boy, a new episode of Sears!"
Simon, in intro: "Shut the f**k up"
Me: "oh snap, better get a beer, this is gonna be a great one"
Ditto. Cheers to that.
OG legend.
Sears Simon is best Simon
Simon saying "Hey Siri" set mine off. Guess that means I sound like Simon. Allegedly.
And yet doesn't set his off loloo
Iphones suck saved you some time
Yeah I hate when he does that. Sets mine off as well
Siri doesn't care what your voice sounds like. It's just listening for the words.
I guess you should start a UA-cam empire
Ayyy our blaze with the boyy
SMASH THAT DISLIKE BUTTON. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
aLEGENDly 😉
Blazing.
Business Blaze SMASH IT. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Our the with blaze boy
Danny we need a blaze about the business prospect of selling g drugs in jail that are delivered by drone. Holy crap that story was a rollercoaster!
The narrative created by the Danny would make that Blaze more than EPIC!
Agreed! Please do this, or include it in a video about prison businesses!
Simon called the gun company Smith and Weston,
The company is Smith and Wesson,
But I'm thankful that Simon was thinking about me enough to call me by my name.
This is exactly what was happening.
@@brainblaze6526 thank you Simon.
yw
I have bad news from my lawyer Weston, turns out this wasn't the only mix up.
If you love scammers getting called out, you'd probably love James Veitch's bit on scam emails where he actually engages in a correspondence with the scammers lol
I’ve seen his stuff before, it’s quite hilarious. I’ve tried it myself, but get bored with it after a few exchanges
There are also some people on Twitch who will take the scam calls involving 'viruses on your computer' and will string them along for as long as possible before calling them out. One I watched used a voice modulator to sound like an old lady, since often these scammers will target the elderly on the basis that they don't know anything about computers.
@@aceofspades9503 I'm not on that particular social media platform, but I would certainly enjoy watching that, LOL! Sorta like Crank Yankers, but against arseholes that actually deserved it! 😄
@@14gears55 I have tried that before, too, but their terrible ability to misspell SO many words in ONE message just makes my brain hurt. I have, though, often [edited to say - not THAT often, like 5 or 6 times] sent them a list of every misspelled word and wrong turn of phrase they used, and told them I wouldn't send anyone who was THAT bad at pretending to speak English a single thin dime. One could type their message into any of the dozens of translator pages online and get a better letter than they have emailed me. When I tell them that, they send back a thank you, and then go right back into their spiel. Ugh! So, why bother?
OMG yes!
My aunt has fallen for 5 Of those dating scams. She sent thousands of dollars to 2 different "Nigerian Princes", a "man" from Uganda, a "man" from Ghana and a guy from right here in the US...
What's your aunt's contact? If I can get help with lawyer fees I'll have access to inheritance from my uncle who didn't have any children of his own.
Man that sucks
That really sucks but for a small fee I will help your Aunt to get the money back 😂
Back when I was dating I met tons of romance scammers once a guy asked for money he was reported and I moved on their first message always starts off with hello dear or hello beautiful. I recently fell for a scam that ended with the guy hacking my Facebook page and locking me out of it completely. He was supposedly from Kenya and needed a card for $100 to pay his phone bill. I felt incredibly stupid once I realized he was a scammer. Now I just don't talk to anyone I don't already know.
My aunt doesn't "Fall for dating scams" so much as she just sends money to men in prison 🤷♂️🤦♂️
SImon: No one is here to learn
Also Simon: Nigeria has a space program!
I don't know about you all, but I learned something.
True.
Any time you learn something new, even if it is completely useless trivia like the fact that Nigeria has a space program, your day has not been wasted, even if *you* are. 😄
When you’re already blazing “allegendly” and business blaze uploads a new video and you finally have some great company to blaze with “allegendly”
Same😀 Blaze on you Legend🔥
Olivia Green 🔥
ALEGENDLY
I feel like the "Danny, what the f***, man?" gif is going to become a regular staple of this channel.
I hope so.
I love this channel, but it's even better when you're watching one of his other channels and a little bit of blaze comes out! Keep up the hard work and awesome content!
Yeah ive noticed his BB personality start to creep into his other channels. Its a good thing deffo.
"No one's arguing about the effectiveness of bleach injections" ... 'let me introduce you to a place called Florida...'
Dammit Florida.
The typical Florida Man strikes again.
Three minutes in and there hasn’t been a single mention of cocaine yet.
I know I'm disappointed as well lol
This was a bit tame. I think he couldn't get in touch with his dealer before this video.
Has he done a video on Pablo Escobar yet?
Drug drones in the 9s
Outrageous. But there was a good drug dealer story.
Sam, you outdid yourself with the memes. Simon, give that man a pay raise.
Seconded! Cough up, si!
I know I’ve read it in the comments on Simon’s other channels, but I feel like it should be stated here: the single best things about this channel (amongst the many greats things) is how it is infiltrating his other channels. It’s almost as if he’s blossoming and becoming the master UA-camr he is destined to be.
xXNightmareXx28 I’ve been watching Simon since he used to apologize for mispronunciations. I defended him then, and told them stfu basically. Then he would apologize in advance. Now, he tells them to F off. 👏👏👍. My boy’s come a long way!
Mango T I’ve been watching since the early days of biographics. It’s been a pleasure to watch the change😂
xXNightmareXx28 It is!
Drug drone 100% needs to join the team Simon, come on now
Welp, we've found where Simon gets his cocaine from..... *Allegedly*
ALEGENDLY
And how he kept himself supplied through lockdown!
@@DoverNDollysMom Time to start a new channel called "Blaze Business"?
Simon: "People are watching a lot more of my UA-cam these last few months"
Me: "Hell yeah!!"
🙋♂️
has there ever been a scam that didn't suck? I mean... thats kinda the thing with scams :/
Yup, this channel is a perfect example of that. :)
I think the idea is that these scams are especially dumb and illogical, even for scam standards.
Sometimes big businesses and corrupt governments get scammed into helping donate to charity or provide for the community - it'd be a good video.
Getting in early on a pyramid scheme?
@@brainblaze6526 That was awesome.
Simon, something tells me you might want to bring up that drone issue with the Prague police and see if the Czech government could return the drone to the British cops for you.
That sounds like something I absolutely don't want to do. Lol.
8:19 Flashback to Simon Whistler, 8 years old.
Also, should be obvious by now we come here precisely because of Danny's rambling style rather than the usual more or less concise style of the writers on Simon's other channels.
I feel like it only seems like Danny has a rambling style because Simon stops to comment every three sentences. This is most certainly not a bad thing.
@@Cetega lol indeed
I kinda thought Danny wrote for all the channels and they just edited out all Simon's rants. Then on this one by the time Simon figured out that Danny knows NOTHING about business, the channel had a following of people who are learning nothing about business. Then he only mentioned Danny being locked in the basement on this channel so he could deflect blame for the lack of educational content.
Is it me or does Boris Johnston look alot like Gary Busey ?!?!?!?!
NO you are correct! I myself like the irony of how Trump and Johnston BOTH have such nice hair. Though, I haven't noticed if Boris' hair changes from white to yellow like Trump's does.
Haven’t watched yet but I bet raid shadow legends is going to get mentioned a lot.
Edit: Surprised.
Simon basically gives them free advertising
I had never heard about Raid Shadow Legends before Simon mentioned them.
Nope, not a single raid mention. No legend for you.
I SWEAR AS I SIT HERE TYPING THIS THERE WAS A RAID SHADOW LEGENDS AD AT THE END OF THE VIDEO. SIMON WHY?!
My sister got an email from someone claiming to be me who was stranded in a different country and needing money to get home, it worried her enough to call me and ask if I was in trouble. The amusing part of that scam is that I don't even have a passport. For a short while some alternate version of me was have a far more exciting life than I've ever had. Just glad my sister has a good head on her shoulders and called me before doing anything else.
Seems like this is the "Coming to America" meme episode.... 😂
thank you for the name of the film dear sir ☺️
Schools teachers: don't read off stuff during presentations, it's boring

@@stephjovi Your forgetting cocaine.
A buddy of mine just barely escaped being scammed. He answered a job listing, and after a few way-too-good-to-be-true emails, was sent a check for several thousand dollars, instructed to take an unreasonable first week's pay out and send the rest to a third party to 'fast track' a delivery.
He ended up taking the check to the bank it was apparently drawn on, and was told it was as fake as could be, and in fact, the FBI had so many complaints there wasn't any point in calling them, but the check was worthless, and they wouldn't cash or deposit it.
Had he deposited it into his personal bank account, he would have been on the hook for thousands of dollars when the check bounced.

@@brainblaze6526 Fucksgiven sounds more British than I would have imagined for some reason...allegedly.
Siri is about as useful as ETA when it comes to answering questions.
Charles is highly intelligent. He's not allowed to speak unless "Simon says". Simon is terribly controlling and abusive, and Charles suffers awful punishments for daring to express himself. Common tactics of abusers, cult leaders... That's also why Simon continually calls him ETA instead of Charles, denial of and theft of his identity
#FreeCharles
I once saw a UA-cam Video in which a guy reported how he had ordered an expensive digital camera, and received the original box, filled with a brick. He complained, and the company was quite irritated, but finally sent a replacement. He turned his video camera on, filmed how he opened the shrinkwrapped - suspicially heavy - package, and again held some basic construction material in his hands. Turned out, the company had a worker that opened the boxes while they were kept in the storage, took the cameras out in order to sell them on the black market, and filled the boxes with rubble. Then he would shrink wrap them again, and return them to the shelves.
Regarding the flood of COVID-related domain names: A good deal of these phishing pages imitate legit ones, in order to divert funds that were meant to help small business owners out. Over here in Germany it even happened that they had their pages up faster than the real public services.
You can't watch Simon the same way on his serious channels after watching multiple Business Blaze episodes.
*Drug drone:* ETA's younger step brother that nobody talks to because he's kinda sketchy ya know? But nothing's been proven so they can't in good conscience cut contact so he's just put into the corner to sulk.
When people ate tide pods no one had covid...... just saying
Big Facts
Lollollol
The math works out
ETA mentioned this a lot.
Walmart has all the detergent pods in locked glass cases. Want to by some, find a Keymaster.
This actually happened to my s.o.'s grandma. She recieved an email saying that her grandson ( my s.o.) was in another country and was in legal trouble and in prison ( which all sounds ludicrous if you know him ), but she fell for it. Naively she ended up sending over 2k before actually contacting the family and finding out if he was actually in trouble, which, of course he wasn't. These scams are evil, but are especially heinous if they are exploiting little old ladies who think they are rescuing their grandbabies.
When are we getting an SC Johnson Raid Insecticide ad read in the style of Raid Shadow Legends?
honestly i live in a basement and raid is so vital to my existence also this would be hilarious
Why does it make me sad when Simon says he isn't funny, like it feels like self consciousness more than self awareness and I just wanna give him a pat on the back and say 'you're doin good lad, keep it up'😭
This could be renamed to: how to scam on ebay

@@SkikyroStudios Apologys
When you get annoyed at the adverts and tell them to "shut the fuck up" and then the video starts with Simon also screaming "shut the fuck up". Legendary.
Did anyone else get a tad bit irritated when he said “Smith and WesTon”?

Lol I know right everyone knows it's western
So pull out your Heckler and Kooch and go sort it out.

Note: Charles/ ETA dies at the end.

Since I've started to watch Business Blaze, I have been getting those "super course to make you successful in business", "secret flirting techniques", etc. and they look so much like scams it's not even funny if I imagine people fall for it :D thanks for bringing scams into my life!
As a Nigerian I want to get triggered when I see content like this but I love the blaze 🔥🔥🔥 and I'm hella entertained 😊
One must be careful about being "triggered", It far to easy to shoot off ones own mouth.
My dear, sweet, old aunt fell for the Microsoft scam. Some foreign dude called her up and told her that he could see that she had a computer virus. At first, she tried telling them she'd have to take care of it at another time because she couldn't afford to deal with it then (she's VERY poor). Of course, they don't take no for an answer. Eventually, they convince her that SWAT has surrounded her apartment due to some mystery, unpaid IRS debt she had no idea she owed, but they would leave her alone if she paid (it was something over $300) immediately. So, she gives them her emergency credit card information and they call off the SWAT team.
Afterwards, she calls up all her relatives to relay the crazy incident that just happened to her. Of course, we ALL told her what really just happened and that she needed to cancel the transaction as soon as possible. Unfortunately, her credit card company told her she was shit out of luck because she willingly gave them her credit card info.
Few years ago we went on Craigslist to look for an apartment. Damned if the Nigerians hadn't latched onto that. They look through real estate listings of homes for sale placing ads for rentals with a said house's listing copy.
When someone bites, they'll say something they're a local priest who's been transferred to Africa (which was where we bailed out because we were familiar with advance-fee rental scams). To complete this for the unfamiliar, the scam is that in order to get the keys you were supposed to wire them first months rent and deposit. You're out money and you don't get keys.
Luckily the house we'd been interested in was only a few blocks from the one we were thinking of leaving (we never did, BTW) so we could wander over for a look-see. There was no 'for rent' sign out front.
We figured out they were cribbing real estate listing for potential 'houses' by googling the text from another one of their listings and finding that it matched a house for sale. Found a few of those. So if you put a house on offer, Nigerians are ready to lease it out for you - only without your knowing about it...
AAH, it's the plot of the count of Monte Cristo.
Abé Fariah: I know of a treasure, hidden. Only I know where it lies!
Edmond Dantes: GUARD!!!! There's a scammer in my cell!
Between putting people in and getting people out of space(assuming a preexisting station), getting someone out of space would be far harder. In both, ya gotta actually get a capsule to space and dock with the station intact, but to get someone back, you gotta have a spacecraft that can survive reentry.
I grew up in foster care, that way I came across countless of middle-aged to elderly people with mental issues.
I know one middle-aged guy that was actively sending money to scammers, his caretakers weren't trying to stop him and he wouldn't listen to me.
It's really sad.
I'm sure somebody else has already responded to it, but the "Superman scheme" to which Simon refers is officially referred to as "Salami Slicing", and it involves not just pennies but fractions of pennies. It was used most famously as the plot of "Superman III", as well as "Office Space" (in which Superman III was even referenced as the source). The scam generally involves taking fractions of cents that are ignored/lost due to rounding of percentages.
My kids' dad was involved in an online romance scam. He lost 200 bucks to a woman who asked for airfare to come out to meet him. Also, he was chatting online with a woman from Africa trying to find love..... ALLEGEDLY!
I myself was scammed by my kids' dad. He was looking for a new place to stay, but due to his bad credit, he couldn't apply to rent an apartment. Long story short, I lost the three thousand tax refund I had just received. I paid for all the rental fees when he scammed me to move out of my then neighborhood into a different part of town.
Moral of the story: scammers are everywhere!
The TV license thing is still a thing in Japan as well. Every other month I get mail in my mailbox with a blank form and a pamphlet about taxes and other stuff about the NHK and the contribution it asks you to pay and stuff. Whenever I see one, to the bin it goes.
I used to work in a bank call center. Once an older man called me for he's banking details because he got an e-mail from the UN that he had won 1 million dollars in a raffle. Now he had to send he's banking details to their South African department to receive the money. I had to tell him the bad news that this was most definitely a scam. A long sigh on the other end of the line and "Yeah.. I kind of guessed." Dont ever give any of your banking details to anyone people! 😂
In Denmark has the same tv licens, but its called media licens so you have to pay if you have a device(you pay by household not per device) that can connect to the internet, because its possible to watch our broadcaster TV (DR) its around 130 pounds a year. It used to rely on you telling them when you have such a device, but now you pay via taxes.
Simon rabbit-holing about the Nigerian space program: priceless. You are LEGEND.
"Fascinating stuff! Wtf are we talking about?" Gold.
This is serendipitous - I recently got into scam busting videos lol. Jim Browning is a legend.
Simon I've seen that Mitchell & Webb skit before and found it amusing, but your cocaine fueled rant about the skit is what made me actually laugh out loud.
My uncle has been scammed so many times, once going so far as to give the scammers posing as Microsoft his bank info and went to Walmart to buy gift certificates that he was supposed to send to the "company" as payment. The manager of Walmart was alerted since he was asking for $200 in gift certificates and not a simple $25 card. They asked him why so many certs, he told them about the emails, and they explained to him it's a scam and he had better freeze his bank account ASAP. Instead he called me, still asking if he should pay because "it looks real." I was so frustrated and told him to freeze literally everything: credit cards, bank account, freeze it all now!!! This was maybe the 10th time he had fallen for email scams, he's lost hundreds of dollars at a time yet never learns, but this time he was VERY lucky that the scammers had not wiped him out, probably stupidly waiting for the gift certificates to be purchased, rather than take the bank info and drain the account right away.
I’m Nigerian and this was embarrassing to watch. You can’t begin to imagine how many opportunities honest, hardworking and brilliant youths lost because of these menace.....you have no idea how difficult it is to do the simplest of things, like freelancing and you have to hide your Country to avoid not getting hired!
I enjoy stringing scammers along. I enjoy tormenting them and baiting them and feel no remorse whatsoever. The way I see it, the longer I can keep them preoccupied with me, the less time they’ll have to scam somebody else.
I had someone spoofing my pastor's email address and claim to be him to request help for "a fellow parisioner recently diagnosed with cancer. He said she could really use gift cards to lift her spirits and help cover living expenses during this difficult time. I had fun playing with him. I became so very helpful, asking who it was and if she needed child care, casseroles, or if I could arrange a bake sale to raise funds for her treatment. He got so mad 😊
There actually was a former soviet cosmonaut who was stranded in the mir space station when the soviet union dissolved. He did get down several months after he was supposed to, becoming a citizen of a country that didn't exist the last time he was on earth. He was also one of the first cosmonauts in the international space station when it was made years later
In Germany we pay 210 € for Public broadcasting and they show advertising nonetheless. Also you are obligated to pay it otherwise you get imprisoned until contempt.
Two things: first, why do you continue to ask siri anything? I have yet to hear her answer you even once. Second, you insist that we won't be learning anything on this channel, but we do - and we also get lovely PSA a la Simon "Don't send naked pictures of yourself on the internet! Just alway assume that [stuff] will get out" *chef's kiss*
My recently widowed mother-in-law has been suckered into the lonely hearts scams. Multiple times now by different perpetrators. No amount of talking to her will make her understand, and she is running out of things to sell to fund her stupidity.
"this is making me never want to buy anything on Ebay again. . ."
.
.
.
.
i came to that conclusion 15 years ago. . .
with the power sellers ripping you off , taking your money and then sending you the wrong product or not sending it at all or giving you a fake tracking number or people buying your shit and then lying and claiming that they never received it etc. . .
That's what feedback research and tracking numbers are for. I've dealt with eBay for something like two decades now, and only twice had to send a claim through eBay's fraud department to get my money back. Out of literally several hundreds of transactions, that's not bad at all.
Obligatory "I just got an Ad for Raid: Shadows Legends!!! before watching this video" post
That guy in Miami who bought the Lambo, got 4 MILLION in Payment Protection Loans and did get caught. The last I heard tho, was they haven't gotten even the majority of the money back. The one thing I hadn't heard was whether he actually had a small business that he lied about when he filled out the forms or if he totally lied about everything and didn't even own a business.
Why would Danny need furniture, his chains aren’t long enough to reach anything but the keyboard and printer on the floor in the basement. God forbid the building go up in a Blazing fire, he’s only hope would be EtA calling the fire department.

Danny Salter.... I think you deserve a sign behind Simon, You could put one up without his knowledge and see how long it takes him to notice. Unless you think you’ll receive a beating. Everyone still believes your in the basement.
There was a recent Dr Phil episode of a woman getting scammed by three scammers at once. One even told her it was a scam but she kept sending money. It's really sad.
I gotta say long time watcher trying to catch up on the backlog I've missed over the years. Gotta love Simon going ballistic on an 8 minute intro and immediately waning and waxing on shit and apologizing for the tangent.
My fave and only "scam" that has appeared in my inbox is from the IRS(American Internal Revenue Service), explaining to me that my tax return is under investigation.
I've never lived in the US in my life.😂
I met a guy who was apparently a Nigerian Prince scammer from Nigeria. According to him, the reason the industry could stay afloat with just ~$700,000 USD a year is the spending power the US dollar has in Nigeria. Even if you manage to just scam a relatively small amount of money each year from Americans, you can make what is effectively a TON of money in Nigeria and live quite comfortably.
It's nice to see that ETA the heater is back. Gives me a warm feeling. 😉
As I have already watched ALL Mitchell & Web sketches, I will continue with the Blaze.
If you have not watched any Mitchell & Web, I suggest "Are we the baddies", "The Evil vicar" and "World War 2 pilots"
The biggest internet scam is the existence of Danny
It's a filthy scam.
I was never fooled for a second.
Considering there was a Sherlock Holmes mystery that dealt with a character “winning” a vast fortune for dubious reasons, and this person refused to believe it was a scam... and this was written during the 19th century, tells me humanity will always contain the easily fleeced
"I've got other channels for that."
Love that line!
That pennies per transaction scam was the subject of "Office Space". Great movie!
The video starts: *"Shut The F%ck Up."*
Ah, classic Simon. That's the type of blaze that keeps me coming back for more 🔥 😂
I’m a mechanic and people always ask what’s wrong with their vehicle without even looking at it. I bought a crystal ball thinking I’ll be a smart ass the next time someone asked me. Ordered one $15. It’s literally 5cm big
Y'know, if you were to brew something else in that mug, it could indeed be Three Wolf Tea.
I love when Danny trolls you in the script and you argue with someone who isn't there.
