Well, after seeing you rave about Vessi shoes so often, I got myself a pair of them. They arrived today after a bad landing at the wrong address several days ago thanks to a dim-witted FedEx driver but have somehow been rescued and delivered to me. So today I wore them to work and put 6.5 miles of asphalt and concrete airport ramp on them, in a light sprinkle most of the time and stepping in a few puddles of spilt jet fuel (no more than a couple ounces at a time so keep still all you environmental whackos). We'll see how the Vessis hold up to this but so far, so good. The soles have no noticeable wear, the exposure to a few ounces of spilt jet fuel didn't dissolve them, and my feet were dry apart from their own sweat, which is something I hope will improve as the shoes break in as this is a key marketing message of Vessi. If they last more than 450 miles in such conditions, they'll be an improvement on my currently standard footwear, so we shall see. But things are looking OK out the gate. And I did name you as the source of me learning of this brand. So I hope that does you well.
Now that we have Florida Man Friday we need Tangent Timer Tuesday with episodes where the script writers compete to see who can cause Simon to go on the most tangents.
Yes yes yes! Start a petition, and it would great if Simon wouldn’t see it coming. Idk how to swing that but if the writers could write a tangent trigger laden script and see how it long Simon could get the tangent timer as well as overall ep time. But if he is unaware of the tangent expectations they will be more natural. Also, have you watched live BB? ( I kno u have) BB live streak is Fact Boi at prime ADHD gamer sups cracked out and hardly ever gets more than 2 paragraphs read due to tangents and side quests! All of it absolute golden chaos. ❤❤
@NJRDC just keep all appendages inside the vehicle, don't offer ANYONE a ride, stay away from the water, brush and interstates (and US19), and oh yeah, never make eye contact with anyone hanging outside a gas station. You'll be fine, at least a 50% chance of survival.
22:06 Simon clearly forgot he did a whole Casual Criminalist episode on the great Canadian maple syrup heist. That’s only slightly less weird than a black market ring dealing in kitchen grease.
When I owned a restaurant in the mountains, a lot of people would make competing offers over our used oil. They mostly used it for their oil stoves in workshops or garages, but some used it for biodiesel. We'd usually just give it to the guy who fixed appliances and stuff for us though. Not a guy you want to lose.
Federally, weed is absolutely a schedule 1 drug in the US. But in Maine where I'm living, legal for all. The battle between Federal and State laws is legendary here.
I'm in PA. where it's only legal medically. is super expensive and overpriced. and we're surrounded on all sides by legal recreational states. the US is so dumb.

11:40 Dealerships insurance usually requires keys to be left in the car if it's located INSIDE the locked building. That way if fire breaks out they can be removed from the building by first responders. Either to prevent damage to the car or to the building, whichever is the case. It's pretty common practice. I'm almost 33, worked in dealers through my 20s and grew up around the business. My grandfather owned a car lot until a few years ago. My uncle owns it now.
@magnemoe1 it's pretty common here, honestly I've not found a shop that was legit that didn't do that exact practice. We've had the occasional hooligan get into them as well and cause damage or steal a car, but honestly it's pretty infrequent. Even here where I'm at in the southern US.

Let's get HYPE for Florida Man Friday!!!! The happy weed is indeed schedule one. We can thank Nixon and his war on drugs that went super well for that.
It’s a nice place to visit, but… To be fair just about everyone I met from Florida was pretty cool. Some weren’t exactly the brightest, but solid folks.
...my keyboard is BARELY younger than Factboi. It's an old IBM Model M, dated "25 Mar 88". And yet, it's still clack-clacking along so far! That was strange to realize...also, I love my old jackhammer-keyboard! Such clean keypresses..! BAMBAMBAM! BAM BAM...BAMBAMBAM! Such delicate actuation for a jackhammer! (Also, they're a little loud. I still love it, though.)
HELL YEAH, FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY!!! I look forward to it more than the actual weekend had to edit just to say that the evangelion tangent launch was beautiful
Feds still schedule pot as heroin, but states do otherwise. This is why all purchases at pot stores are in cash as no banks will allows credit debit transactions - the banks are under federal control.
This is also why I can't smoke a bowl on my weekend without risking the FAA stripping my certification, but my coworker who shows up after a weeklong bender gakking out and slamming Jim Beam can come turn wrenches, and the FAA will just smile and wave.
floridaman here in tampa. here's the nickel tour of florida: once you get about a mile outside the limits of any city with a university its just trailer parks, churches, and meth labs. theres also some orange groves in polk county where the sheriff does all those underage sex predator sting operations
Florida woman and yup! Also I worked in the pharmacy as a tech for many years and we had another tech who was selling weed through the drive through window😂
I mean I remember a few people actually getting in trouble for smoking weed with my manager at a pizza bar. And it’s because that manager cared but the owner and head cook don’t.
Kind of makes sense stealing grease actually. The oil itself isn’t illegal to possess, and it’s usually stored outside in collection tanks. So at most they’d need bolt cutters for a simple padlock. Not that people should be stealing things, but it’s actually kind of creative
From The DEA's website " Marijuana is a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning that it has a high potential for abuse, no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision. " " Some examples of Schedule I drugs are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote. "
Here in Washington State weed dispensaries are almost as prevalent as gas stations. Take that DEA. Go spend your tax funding on solving problems with actually dangerous drugs.

Defiantly not Christmas! Came out Aug 30, 2024. On another note, I was born in 1987 too Simon! You're just a few months older than me. Every time you say you're getting closer to middle age I want to cry because that means I am too.
I mean, it’s a 1 in 365.25 chance… I’ve met 3 people with my birthday and I don’t regularly ask people. P.S it’s actually a very variable chance based on when your birthday is and where you live/culture
@benjaminmalisheski6494 Vsauce did a video on this, to get someone with the same DATE as you only takes around 60 people, but getting the exact day AND year is another story :)

We once did a cross-country trip in a converted vegetable oil powered diesel school bus by grabbing used cooking oil wherever we could along the way and storing it in two barrels. It was quite the adventure.
@7:56 Pharmacy nerd here. Actually, in the united states cocaine is a schedule 2 drug like morphine and is used mostly as a topical anesthesia for surgery on the inside of the nose or sinuses.
It's not just people who have to finance cars who have issues here in the US. My dad once paid in full for a vehicle at a dealership. He got a few extra things added on and when the car arrived, he checked it out but forgot ONE thing he had paid for that was extra and drove it off the lot not realizing it wasn't there. Now, this was when I was a little kid so when my dad went back to see if they'd fix it and put it in the car now and the guy who was typing away on one of those early computers was straight ignoring my dad. He refused to even acknowledge my dad being there. So, my dad shoved everything off the guy's desk, including the computer yelling about how you never get your way there and warning the other customers to check everything in detail or the dealership would screw you. The dealerships catch phrase was you always get your way at this Chevrolet or something like that. Then dad walked out before the security guy could get there because they were calling for him but he sure didn't get there fast enough. My dad has calmed down a lot. I don't think he'd do that now. The dealership never came after him for the destruction of property. Maybe because they hadn't totally honored the car deal?
@@drakeaniha2023 yep, bastards are hoping the orange idiot wins so they can continue to use their convenient legal cudgel. Prisons don't fill with non-violent offenders by themselves, gotta keep that slave labor topped off.
People in the US are weirdly OK with driving while high. I think part of it is that accidents caused by being high get incorrectly recorded as "distracted" or "falling asleep" or cell phone usage, all things being high makes someone more likely to do behind the wheel. Weed is in the same federal category as meth and cocaine, there's been pushes to give it a more accurate classification but the feds are happy to wait until either enough states legalize it to force the issue or the Democrats need a win button in a major election, whichever happens first.
I'm almost 33, and I have smoked for half that time, never once did I have the idea to trade it for food, nor would I now. Well, maybe not the way he did it. Poor guy was hungry. Now.. Waiting and approaching another fellow patron who is already going in to purchase food for themselves presumably would be able to get something for me in the event that I offered them compensation in the form of some wonderful lettuce of the devil. It's a valid option and honestly, I've been on the receiving end of such an option before that truly worked out great. Lol, story time over
The grease has value if you do a bit of home chemistry with it. You can, with relatively modest equipment, turn it into bio diesel and glycerin. The chemistry is screamingly simple and at least the bio diesel is easy to pitch on the black market.
Listening to Simon rant about Florida man. That gets an instant like. Edit: If you are using one of Homer Simpson's schemes as your blueprint for success, you need to seriously rethink your decisions.
People also like to say happy Birthday simply if they see other people saying it, with enough efforts we could give Simon 10, 20, who knows how many birthdays a year
I have no choice but to remember your birthday now Simon. My mom's birthday was on the 15th of May. Which was 5 days after my own. Which now throwing this out into the universe: Is it self centered to think of yourself as an early birthday present in my situation? Asking for a friend.
In 2010, i had a 68 Pontiac Firebird i took in to have the brakes replaced. The shop in their infinite wisdom left it in the lot. With the key in the visor. And doors unlocked. Over a weekend. 26 days later it was returned. By the Iowa State police all the work and money I put into it stripped and sold. I got a frame with fenders back.
The problem is the gun twirling is supposed to be done with a single action revolver with the hammer not cocked. Preferably unloaded but even loaded try firing a single action revolver without cocking it
I feel I've got an unfair advantage on the what Florida Man does on your birthday. Being born on 4th July they seem to be at their stupidest on fireworks day

Defiantly not Christmas! Came out Aug 30, 2024. On another note, I was born in 1987 too Simon! You're just a few months older than me. Every time you say you're getting closer to middle age I want to cry because that means I am too.
Born and raised in Florida, We approve.
THAT'S HILARIOUS, I LOVE THAT KEVIN AND I HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY!!
I mean, it’s a 1 in 365.25 chance… I’ve met 3 people with my birthday and I don’t regularly ask people.
P.S it’s actually a very variable chance based on when your birthday is and where you live/culture
You are the 4th person I've ever met with the same birthday as me, and my condolences because it's the worst birthday of the year
@benjaminmalisheski6494 Vsauce did a video on this, to get someone with the same DATE as you only takes around 60 people, but getting the exact day AND year is another story :)
@@ThatWriterKevin that's crazy you're the third person I've met with our birthday. It's only the worst birthday because you can only swim in Florida
@@hippiemoses336 In my first 41 years on this planet, I had met 3 other people with my birthday. There have been 5 who commented on the video sharing my birthday and it's so crazy to me
Thank you, Simon, and the Brain Blaze team for another entertaining Florida man episode! It was great.
You're welcome!
Marijuana is, in fact, a schedule I drug, despite the existence of marinol, which is the obvious counter to this egregious miscategorization.
It recently got re classified as a schedule 4 drug. Finally
@@brandonford8092 not quite - it's up for a hearing for being reclassified to schedule III, but that's been postponed until December.
It grows in the wild.
@brandonford8092 no, no it didn't.... they PROPOSED a reclassifacation, but it hasn't passed yet
@140theguy so does peyote, and so do poppies, the fact that it grows wild has nothing to do with it's classification
0:51 love how he don't know what a sea shanty is. every Brit watching facepalming
Yes episode two. It Florida Man FRIDAY 🎉
Happy Birthday Simon!
Someone did throw an alligator through the window of a Wendy's. Shayne Smith did a hilarious standup bit about it.
You need to make a "Florida man of the year" award
Woot woot! Florida Man Fridays!
Happy FMF!
Yay! Another Florida Man Friday episode! ❤❤❤
We once did a cross-country trip in a converted vegetable oil powered diesel school bus by grabbing used cooking oil wherever we could along the way and storing it in two barrels. It was quite the adventure.
@7:56 Pharmacy nerd here. Actually, in the united states cocaine is a schedule 2 drug like morphine and is used mostly as a topical anesthesia for surgery on the inside of the nose or sinuses.
I hope this stays a thing it’s giving me somthing to look forward to
2:37 haha I'm waiting this in December
Me too!
I would pay to hear you say fat blunt over and over again 😅😂
VESSI'S ARE AMAZING!! I live in BC Canada, a temperate rainforest, I own several pairs. They are amazing.
It's not just people who have to finance cars who have issues here in the US. My dad once paid in full for a vehicle at a dealership. He got a few extra things added on and when the car arrived, he checked it out but forgot ONE thing he had paid for that was extra and drove it off the lot not realizing it wasn't there. Now, this was when I was a little kid so when my dad went back to see if they'd fix it and put it in the car now and the guy who was typing away on one of those early computers was straight ignoring my dad. He refused to even acknowledge my dad being there. So, my dad shoved everything off the guy's desk, including the computer yelling about how you never get your way there and warning the other customers to check everything in detail or the dealership would screw you. The dealerships catch phrase was you always get your way at this Chevrolet or something like that. Then dad walked out before the security guy could get there because they were calling for him but he sure didn't get there fast enough. My dad has calmed down a lot. I don't think he'd do that now. The dealership never came after him for the destruction of property. Maybe because they hadn't totally honored the car deal?
The sea shanty phase of the COVID lockdowns was a weird time. A simpler time, perhaps.
Weed in America is a Schedule 3 drug. It was only rescheduled in the past year. They need to legalize it federally.
It's definitely still schedule one. The dea just pushed back the rescheduling again to next year.
@@drakeaniha2023 🙄 Crap. Thank you. That's very unfortunate.
@@drakeaniha2023 yep, bastards are hoping the orange idiot wins so they can continue to use their convenient legal cudgel. Prisons don't fill with non-violent offenders by themselves, gotta keep that slave labor topped off.
People in the US are weirdly OK with driving while high. I think part of it is that accidents caused by being high get incorrectly recorded as "distracted" or "falling asleep" or cell phone usage, all things being high makes someone more likely to do behind the wheel.
Weed is in the same federal category as meth and cocaine, there's been pushes to give it a more accurate classification but the feds are happy to wait until either enough states legalize it to force the issue or the Democrats need a win button in a major election, whichever happens first.
Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.
Glad New Mexico man is a mouth full. I was a drinker. 😂 thanks Florida man.
4:52 "big brain" moment of the day🤣
Happy Birthday Simon
-Posted on September 19th
Kevin lost his food privileges in the basement 😂😂
Florida Man Friday, lets go
Simon's Florida Man Math
80 Year Flordia Man over here.
Are all those little chips in his desk from Simon's knife phase when he keot stabbing his desk with a knife...
I'm almost 33, and I have smoked for half that time, never once did I have the idea to trade it for food, nor would I now. Well, maybe not the way he did it. Poor guy was hungry. Now.. Waiting and approaching another fellow patron who is already going in to purchase food for themselves presumably would be able to get something for me in the event that I offered them compensation in the form of some wonderful lettuce of the devil. It's a valid option and honestly, I've been on the receiving end of such an option before that truly worked out great. Lol, story time over
I love your Florida Man stories.
The grease has value if you do a bit of home chemistry with it. You can, with relatively modest equipment, turn it into bio diesel and glycerin. The chemistry is screamingly simple and at least the bio diesel is easy to pitch on the black market.
Listening to Simon rant about Florida man. That gets an instant like.
Edit: If you are using one of Homer Simpson's schemes as your blueprint for success, you need to seriously rethink your decisions.
People also like to say happy Birthday simply if they see other people saying it, with enough efforts we could give Simon 10, 20, who knows how many birthdays a year
I agree. There is no way that a Florida McDonalds worker didnt at least know someone that smokes weed.
I have no choice but to remember your birthday now Simon. My mom's birthday was on the 15th of May. Which was 5 days after my own. Which now throwing this out into the universe: Is it self centered to think of yourself as an early birthday present in my situation? Asking for a friend.
How fast you talk makes my auditory processing issues cry - but I still love your videos!
87 baby. Good vintage! From a fellow bearded badly.
In 2010, i had a 68 Pontiac Firebird i took in to have the brakes replaced. The shop in their infinite wisdom left it in the lot. With the key in the visor. And doors unlocked. Over a weekend. 26 days later it was returned. By the Iowa State police all the work and money I put into it stripped and sold. I got a frame with fenders back.
Yo Kevin! My brother's birthday is December 17th! But with timezones differences, in Malaysia your birthday is 17th! Cheers!
The problem is the gun twirling is supposed to be done with a single action revolver with the hammer not cocked. Preferably unloaded but even loaded try firing a single action revolver without cocking it
Yay! Fridays are the best!
Ok ok, YOU are the star...jeez 😂😂
4:41 I thought the same as Simon, that the guy was trying to buy a whole restaurant with weed. 😂
I was born on the 13th of May 😂❤🎉😂😂😂
And I was once a Florida Man lol 😆 😂 🤣 let's see how many get it 😂 ❤🎉❤ 3:21
Happy Birthday Simon! 2:02
"The wheels of Brain Blaze move quickly, like... wheels."
About half of Florida Man/Woman news involves food. 🤷♀️
6th gen Floridian, so it kinda makes sense to me but explaining it is something else.
I feel I've got an unfair advantage on the what Florida Man does on your birthday. Being born on 4th July they seem to be at their stupidest on fireworks day
Being born on a holiday definitely would give you a leg up on headlines
