Watching Simon's other channels seem so strange because they're so -- normal.
Lave Havasu, that's actually correct. 😃
Lol in gta the drinks are called spunk
How come this comment is timestamped for 10hours ago but the video was uploaded 40min ago?
A bit of context on Havasu and Tahlequah, it’s pretty much like the Irish or Welsh named places that are in the UK. Remnants of the oppressed.
@@thelastjoe2122 because they uploaded it hours ago as either unlisted or private, made sure all the business stuff was in line, and then “published” a little while ago.
Simon: "All Australians now hate me"
Australians: "Nah"
Simon: "Have another Foster's"
Australians: "Now we do"
Iris do you really drink Fosters)it's so sweet)....Im from Texas and we don't drink a lot of Lone Star.,... some do but we'll IDK 😊😊😊😊😊
They export Foster's because nobody in Australia will drink it...
@@Terpe75 no offense but Fosters isn't that good.....
@@Donathon-xt2nl Ummmmm..... yeah...... that was my point..... you saying 'Fosters isn't that good' is being really nice about it and giving it a lot more credit than it deserves.
@@Terpe75 cheers....Carpe Viva
Simon: Danny, your scripts are too long.
Danny: removes subheadings
Technically, he understood the assignment.
Malicious compliance 😂
AHH yes this is "Better Blaze", wherein Danny makes Simon's life as hard as possible for the sake of our entertainment.
And I live every minute 😂
Simon has such a good sense of humour, takes it all like a LEGEND.
I still can't believe that they only joke around like this. The way they are going on, I kind of expected them to be friends by now.
All hail Danny! Our Lord & Saviour! 💀
@@movingforward3030 i mean.. he's chained up in Simon's basement so I'd say they're BEST friends
And he does it *effortlessly*
Going right from a Hello Fresh read into discussing meal replacement shakes is a winning transition.
One day Simon will realize that Danny is the pure genius of BB. Simon wanted to word cap Danny. Now we get scripts with no headers or titles so he can keep it in line with glorious supreme overlord Whistler teeny tiny word count limit. BRING BACK THE 40 MINUTE EPIC BLAZES. I am but a small brain so what do I know. But one of the worst deals in history is business blaze getting a brian.
I miss the long blazes, they're hilarious to listen to while driving.
I understand why Simon wanted to curb the tendency for all videos to turn into epic blazes, but it certainly would be fun to have them again every once in a while!
**one of the worst deals in history is business blaze getting a brian.** Who the heck is Brian, and what did he do to you? 😜
Getting a Brian? Brian who?
@@YochevedDesigns Brian knows exactly what he did.
Simon: Why does America have so many hard to pronounce names?
Also Simon: Lives in a country where every single letter of a sentence has it's own unique facial hair and pronunciation.
Brilliant !
Nevermind Welsh which uses virtually no vowels and combines consonants into improbable combinations of sounds.
Remember when Simon used to pace back and forth, and slap his script, and say "AM I RIGHT, PETER?" over and over again? Good times.
Kinda miss it, him ranting against the room heater 😂😂
@@Mr2winners It' s ETA! He' s not just a heater! He has feelings!
Yeah- miss it.
I member!
I ‘member
Simon: Doesn't use Hello Fresh because he's in Prague
Also Simon: Doesn't use Keeps because he doesn't have any hair
It's like a double-amputee shoe salesman, yeah sure... but why?!?!
🤣🤣🤣
Money
We know Simon loves it
I mean, him not having hair is why he can do the "Don't become like me!" approach to selling Keeps. Which he does, all the time😂
@@Leo.Labine ,
I think the question is directed to the companies, for we all know why Simon says 'yes please.'
But he eats the shit out of that magic spoon
I absolutely love it when the writer doesn't include titles or headers. Simon's griping makes it even better than when he just smoothly goes from one to another without noticing, and the audience has to figure out when the subject changes!
The meta games that go on between Simon and his writers is part of the joy, agreed!
Simon, we drove the Native Americans away and stole their names. That's why a lot of places here have strange-sounding names that aren't in English or Spanish. They're usually the close-ish approximations of the names Natives gave them at the time.
Correction: We told them to get off our land that they never paid for.
Daddy UK weeping tears of joy: Children, they grow up so quickly
We named all our stuff after them. By our stuff I mean things we built on the land we stole.
@@ladykoiwolfe The land that we put to better and higher and more productive use to feed and protect the entire world.
Somebody please explain to me how you think those dirty people acquired the free land they were squatting on? What makes you think they owned it? How did they acquire ownership? Did they buy it? Did they build it? Did they maintain it? Did they win a war for it? The answer is *NO* to all of that!
I don't go to my grandparents old house and tell the people living there it's mine now because "my ancestors used to live there"...that isn't a fucking reason.
@@ryanroberts1104 They lived there for hundreds of Years. Not a few decades. They weren't squatting. They had learned to live in harmony with the land. They learned to use what the land offered without stripping it bare. They learned to hunt without decimating the wildlife. The built homes, built communities, built lodges for caring for the sick. They did plenty to earn the land the worked since the Ice Age, not the least of which was actually live there. And yes, they won several wars for that land. Wars you will never know about because they happened before white men came to these shores.
You are disgusting. You can't even live in harmony with a small piece of land and you think you have more right to it because some paper changed hands.
The Blindness jokes were HILARIOUS as attested to by my Blind friend who just listened to this. Danny, Keep doing what you do!!!
Keep Danny!!!
In chains. You what??
@@anarchyantz1564 daddy chill
(Rant alert)
On average, I feel like we tend to be more sensitive than those with the actual "problem". I'm all for not hurting people but I think we need to start asking people if we are hurting them...
Otherwise we might be isolating them which is just as bad.
My in laws are blind and they love the jokes haha
Blind jokes are half my spouse and my jokes (bad puns being the rest, lol) He's blind, too.
I still remember the time where Nike named one of their shoe brands Black and Tans after a beer cocktail but was also the name of a British Paramilitary group responsible for wide-scale massacres in Ireland.
That awkward moment when you confirm that your food doesn't have wood shavings added in but instead has cholera
Love how Dany is screwing with Simon via the scripts 🤣
Simon’s reaction to Finger Marie was a classic. Reminds me of the time I was in a supermarket in Portugal as a 12 year old and spotted a shelf full of Boob Bread.
Is it like "pain de fesses" (ass bread) ? 🤣
I would love to be able to buy boob bread. For that matter anything boob!
@@Leo.Labine more like "pain de nichons"
Now that we know that Simon likes spicy food and hot sauce, all I can think about and all I desperately want is to see Simon on Hot Ones. Sean's had UA-cam personalities on before, why not have the most PROLIFIC UA-camr??
Citizens of the Whistlerverse, how do we make this happen?
I love it when Fact Boi stumbles over the pronunciation of US place names!
Msg to Danny - please keep writing scripts with out section headers. It's great seeing Simon stumble!
Simon, your interesting, factual and efficient videos with no cartoon fillers or background music and with nothing other than relevant clips and/or pics of exactly what you’re talking about, makes your channel(s) the best ones iv come across on here!!
You guys are fantastic at what u do!! Keep it up! 😁
You must be talking about Top10s or Today I Found Out, you definitely aren't talking about Brain Blaze!😅
@@emerje0 I’m talking about all of his channels.
@@MLG85 are... are you new here or something?
@@cleverusername9369 lol if so, let’s say, *WELCOME! To blissful insanity!* 🤪
@@MLG85 But Brain Blaze is the exact opposite of what you described... 🤪
Simon Years Ago: "I'm looking up these pronunciations and doing my best, please be patient."
Simon Now: "I'm not looking up these pronunciations, I don't feel like it anymore and I know by now I'm just going to botch it anyway, so FULL STEAM AHEAD."
When Coca Cola launched Dasani bottled water in the UK, their ads included:
WATER WITH SPUNK
FULL OF SPUNK
CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT SPUNK
BOTTLED SPUNK
Potential customers were advised they could "enjoy spunk at home, in the gym, and everywhere in between"
The good people of the UK had a hearty laugh and elected *not* to buy this product.
Heaven forbid they do any market research first involving, you know… ACTUAL BRITS! 🤦🏻♂️
I'd buy it for the laugh
@@kencarp57 It is the company being cheap. Why not just use the same ad campaign we developed in Australia?
Ooh! I have a tale of a crisis neatly averted. I used to be a product tester and got a request from a sock company that came up with a strange gadget that goes in your shoes and files off the hard skin on your feet. The package contained: Two files, some ointment I am supposed to apply before wearing them and the details of the product, unfortunately named, "The ped-o-file" Yeah, it never saw the light of day. Not just because of the name, but because of the metal on the files rusting at the merest hint of sweat. Apparently some peoples feet were orange for weeks.
Wife is a beauty school dropout and one of her stories was instructors telling them to make sure to say either ped-eee-file or pee-dee-file and never, ever pedofile.
I'm ded pmfs
Why not a non metal file?
@@ladykoiwolfe No idea, honestly. There are metals that dont rust too. My guess is they only actually invented the things to use up waste from something else.
Can we just have a compilation every Christmas of Simon saying things out of context
I think Danny is trolling on a Sith level.
I really miss the long blazes, and I miss Simon standing up, slapping the scripts and yelling at ETA
Me too :/
When I was in my mid-20s and trying to figure out a lazier way to eat, I bought some of that milkshake food. I don't remember the brand name, but someone asked me if it was like Soylent which I looked up and it was very similar. I had heard of Soylent Green somewhere, but hadn't seen the movie and didn't know what it was, so I conflated it with Soylent and told people I ordered some food product similar to Soylent Green until a concerned person interrogated me about being a cannibal.
The movie is worth giving a watch.
With how many hours of Simon I've consumed I am impressed his voice hasn't become my internal monologue.
He's narrated a couple of my dreams.
😎 Yep, allegedly
Yay, a Simon video to start the week on one of my favorite channels in the Simon-verse. Almost makes it worth the fact it's only Monday lol
HAH!! the simon verse🤣
Whistler Entertainment
I call it the UA-cam Simonatic Universe.
Ahaah pun party🤣
Rick n morty except its simon and "DAMN IT DANNY!!!"
Danny likes to see Simon struggle reading each section. Would have a better flow if he didn't stop at each one.
You've reclaimed your channel from the Crypto bros!
"Have another Foster's; you'll be fine." Now the Australians will REALLY hate you. The ones I know on social media all say Foster's is trash, their version of Budweiser.
FWIW "spunk" is pretty innocuous in the US, carrying only the "bravery" meaning. What are you Brits on?
Er…well… I’ve heard both meanings. But I agree the more innocent meaning is generally the first that comes to mind and is still generally used. Often to describe kids…
@@bookcat123 it might be a regional thing, then. I've lived in NYC all my life and only heard "spunk" used to mean bravery or pluckiness. It's kind of an old-guy word at that.
@@JohnDrummondPhoto It might be regional or generational. I'm from the midwest and my first reaction is that you're referencing jizz. Unless it's phrased like "that have spunk" in which case I think of it as they have guts.
The holy trinity, Danny, Simon and Sam, on point on as usual
POV: you’re Australian and smiled when factboi said all Australians hate me now, then pissed yourself when he said to have a fosters 😂😂
American here, is it true that y'all actually don't drink Foster's?
@@cleverusername9369 I’ve never seen an Australian drink one.. they are in the bottle shop but have probably expired 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, I remember the original business blaze. How it has changed
Still miss ETA.
ETA!!!😳😭😭😭😭😭 Hope he’s keeping Danny warm in the blazement!!🥺🥺😊😊
14:22 "I don't snack.."
(quietly pushes the boxes of Magic Spoon under the desk)
He should use the protein shake as milk for the Magic spoon!
I’m sorry, Danny, but my OCD is not a fan of this flow with no separated intros like in the past videos 😂
Also Sam - legend for the balloon hiss during Simon’s laugh 😂😂😂
That's not Danny's fault. It's Simon's fault for not using the paper scripts :P I have intel that the paper scrips which can be slapped have the subheadings :P
@@MarijaEnchantix and without the pacing back and forth his tongue stumbles more frequently. I want OG Business Blaze back.

In the thumbnail I see you have a picture for “Crunky Balls Nude.” I saw some when I was in Japan and laughed until I cried in the convenience store. As far as I could tell they were kind of like Ferrero Roche. But I didn’t buy any because I didn’t want to arm my friends with the joke of having put crunky nude balls in my mouth 😂
Simon, lots of places in Oklahoma (the US in general) are Native American names, and Q is an English letter that is the closest sound in English to pronounce some of these names, so that's how it gets spelled. Tahlequah is the capital of the two Cherokee tribes.
Whenever I feel insecure about naming things for my projects, I look at the mistakes made by others, and recover my confidence. Because I'll never fail as epically.
Thats usally when a big humbling serprise happens.
@@sonshinethomas7986 man. With the names of these brands being basically dubious on an international level, no one can fail that badly unless it is intentional.
Fun fact: "put a shrimp on the barbie" is not how it's said in Australia, because the word "shrimp" refers to a short person. The word for those little crustaceans that so many like to eat, is prawn.
The line was Americanised for the movie.
It wasn’t in a movie, it was in a tourism video with Paul Hogan, targeted at Americans.
@@GeorgiaOverdrive I thought it was in the one of, if not both Crocodile Dundee movies (2 that I know of)?
I thought shrimp and prawn were two different types of shellfish?
@Simon Lake Havasu City is home to London Bridge. This bridge used to span the river Thames in London, England but was purchased & moved from it's original location and now spans the Colorado River. I learned this from the 1993 film "Falling Down" starring Michael Douglas & Robert Duval. Now you have at least one reason to remember this little city in America!
And Havasu Falls. 😁
Ah, guess I should have read more comments before I replied the same... My stepmother lives there.
Love it when you catch a Business... er, Brain Blaze episode right as it's released.
Danny's finds new ways to mess with Simon because he missing the jokes
What a perfect time to drop a Brain Blaze video. I was going to nap. I really need it. But no. Now I cannot. For I have heard the call and fact Boi has proclaimed, "It is time to Blaze!" So I'm going to go ahead and just grab another coffee. I'll sleep when I'm dead.
So basically any time now...
Simon telling Australians to drink another Foster's is the biggest insult of them all.
So very true
@@Tactical_Koala I'm not even an Australian and I was insulted for them. 😅
I can say I had one 🤢 never another one, It was easier to Crush a KB Can in the '80s than Finish Drinking a Fosters Can
@@shaneeslick it's more respectful to Australia to buy a Foster's and chuck it right in the bin.
Make Room! Make Room! Is well worth a read, though it is pretty bleak. Harry Harrison is criminally underrated.
I can actually answer Simons random question of why so many towns and cities here in america have names that seem so strange and hard to pronounce. Most of these names came from Native American tribes or languages that either lived in that area or may even have named that area before being wiped out or near wiped out by the rapid western expansion of the americans a few hundred years back.
On the west coast it can get even more confusing because many places were also named by the Mexican settlers that lived there before california, Arizona and a bit more became part of the USA and the border we now share with Mexico was set to where we now know it today.
There's also a lot of Welsh in southeastern PA.
"Pedo" nappies aren't actually too surprising, if you think about it. Like, people immediately associate the word with pedophilia, but the word pedophilia is made from two parts and well... "philia" is a greek word which translates to love, so you can probably guess what the pedo part means. It's derived from the greek word pais which literally just means "child".
So it basically just states that the nappies are for children, which they obviously are.
It's also where we get pediatrician, a doctor who specializes in treating children, and pediatrics as a sub-specialty of various medical practices, like pediatric neurology, or pediatric cardiology.
In modern Greek, «παιδί».
Harrison's book is "Make Room! Make Room!", which is a fitting name for a book about overpopulation. As for naming a food product "soylent", that's exactly the kind of decision computer techs, college students, and the like would make.
Between soylent, coffee and spicy food I hope Simon's intestines are doing okay.
He's got Athletic Greens to help his gut health, immune system and provide micronutrients. ( ;
Let us all just appreciate how fucking awesome Sam's meme work is
Danny, you're a legend!! Thank you.
Gold Star for Danny!🌟
Just the laughs I needed on a Monday
Perfect pronunciation of Havasu Arizona! Hilarious episode, Simon. Many thanks 💛
"The only thing I know about Arizona is that they make tea" had me LMFAO!
So I was wondering when the "Megapussi" would come up, and it never did, and for a moment I felt betrayed. But then I went on Danny's Twitter page, and man, "The scriptwriter behind Finland's seventh favourite unscripted UA-cam channel." made me realise that apparently Finnish people are a target audience and you lured us in with the crisps. Well played.
8:32 the reason is that, like a good chunk of city/town names in the Midwest, Tahlequah is a Native word (Cherokee in this case)
Simon,
Some of us actually bought Rotting Turtle... Release that hot sauce!
Don’t forget about the candy cigarettes that had the “bundle of sticks” word displayed proudly on the front of the carton. How that one slipped past the marketing department given that these were found in the States as well as the U.K. and as such would be liable to cause offense even back then is beyond me. 😅
We had them in Australia too. But I think it was in the 90s when someone realised the both “bundle of sticks” and cigarettes for children wasn’t a great product so the removed the red tip from them to make them just white sticks, at this point you were buying a bundle of candy sticks so naturally they changed the name to fads
Except the word in Australia also means cigarettes. Now they lollies are called Fads.
Well Durry was a little tricky for the younger kids to say
I loved those things growing up. Before we were really told about the cancer connection we used to pretend they were real in the winter because the cold making our breath visible made it easy to pretend we were grown ups. And they weren't trying not to look like cigarettes either. It's not just the red tips, the boxes looked like popular local brands.
Simon, I don’t know how Danny missed this one - the American fast food restaurant chain, Taco Bell, and their chili-cheese burrito under the moniker “chillito.” After the product had been on the menu for quite some time, HBO aired a comedy special featuring a Latin comedian whose name escapes me. But he spent several minutes of the show going on about this Taco Bell delight that was named the same as a Spanish slang word for….”gentleman’s sausage.” (Clearly this fact had eluded the restaurant chain’s marketing and product departments, as they very quickly renamed the menu item after this program aired.)
I think saying that's a rude word is like saying "huevos rancheros" contains a rude word because it says "huevos" maybe a little funny but really a stretch to say it's bad
@@melody3741 you may be right. All I know is Taco Bell changed the name of the item almost immediately after this HBO show aired…
Yeah there was a similar issue with “gordita,” I think. I recall a Latin comic saying it meant “big woman,” so he went to Taco Bell and they asked, “Would you like a gordita?” And he was like, “Hell, yeah, I would!”
One of the funniest videos you've done in a while. Danny deserves a raise. Or maybe an extra two links on his chain.
So many puns, Danny. SO MANY PUNS!
Simon " that micheal jackson joke came too soon."
Me talking to no one: " so did micheal jackson... allegedly"
Simon was definitely eyeing out those ingredients on his shake with a slightly worried look on his face. Um I wonder where all the protein comes from
‘HA! Jokes on youu.. He’s into that sh*t!’ 😜
Lots and lots of violent R rated movies got childrens' tie ins in the 80s and 90s, like Alien, Predator, Robocop and Terminator, and the licenses were handed out like candy.
Haha Sean would need 1000 wings to get through all the history his researchers would pull up on Simon. And Simon would not remember a single fact.
Even as a kid, I thought it was weird that I could buy toys from movies that were definitely not meant for me to watch. Predator, Alien, Robocop, Terminator, etc. all had toys and other merchandise that I remember. I think the answer is that they look really cool, and also companies like money.
Because of Danny's rebelliousness, the Blazement beatings will continue until morale improves
We need more I haven't laughed so much in months
Soylent originally didn’t have soy, I had to stop buying when they put it in. 🥺 It was so good before…the new formula makes certain things taste really terrible too… man things… 😂
Haha, speaking of spunk….
From a blind person, I don't actually find it that bad to name sunglasses after a blind person; if it had been corrective glasses, that would have been worse, but blind people do wear sunglasses. The stupid bit was the obvious visual marketing and the slogan.
But I can't help getting on my soapbox a bit: No the last bit about 'seeing the commercial' was not wrong. Never change your typical language around things like watching tv or seeing a sports event. The point we strive for is normality and equality and changing language like this only serves to highlight our difference and infer that we have to be treated differently and somehow coddled.
All that said, I totally laughed my ass off at the name and excuse. philanthropy?
A hot sauce called Brain Blaze sounds like money, sounds like a new Ferrari for Simon
Simon, be happy with your 50p, I’m totally in!
Maybe he should charge like 15£ for it, so that he could have £2.50.
8:30 American city names seem difficult to pronounce to non-Americans because a lot of city names are taken from various Native American languages
Reason why America city names are so hard to pronounce is that lots are words of America Indian languages.
Simon, you said Lake Havasu perfectly. Surprised me it didnt sound like tayco lol
“The only thing I know about Arizona is they make iced tea there.” Best Simon quote ever.
There’s road signs here in Utah that keep “disappearing” for a couple of towns… one sign states:
Fillmore
Beaver
And the other one:
Tokerville
Beaver Utah loves making fun of their name with t-shirts, hats, and other merchandise stating “I ❤️ Beaver” and restaurant advertising like “Beaver: #1 Taco”
There is a Bong State Park in Wisconsin.
In the us "spunk" very loosely describes a personality, typically for girls/teens... Like a high energy/sassy type of girl but ever since learning of the UK meaning I can never hear it another way lol
She's got alot of spunk.
That would be an insult over here lol
Some names that seem out place in America are because they are Native American.
The Canadian store/brand "Roots" always gets a chuckle from my Aussie friends.
Why are you complaining about American Cities? Did you forget about Wales? Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!
Slight correction, the Harry Harrison novel was titled "Make Room! Make Room!"... not "Make Room, Room!".
That was my bad, and slightly annoying because I'm a big fan of the book and Harry Harrison in general.
Lets's pretend I purposefully cut down the book title to squeeze inside the word count.
Blaze Boi you need to roam and slap the script again.
I loved all the posterior puns in the Analtech section.
BRO they opened a Sam n' Ella's in Pryor like a decade ago. They have some piss poor management but goddamn is their pizza amazing 👏 😍. Also it's pronounced Tall-eh-quaw. (Native American for Simon's interest [cherokee specifically]) on to the blaze *_FACT_* *_BOI_*
OMG, lol, I used to go to college in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and it is pronounced "Talla-quaw" NOT "Tuh-lee-qua". And the name comes from the Cherokee Native American Tribe which is headquartered there. Anyway, I never went to Sam & Ella's, even though I have heard of it and driven past it before. Also, I Tahlequah kind of sucks and I hope I never go back.
Did you know Soylent now carries bars? 😆 I couldn’t stop laughing when I first saw the chocolate mint because of the color of the bottles.
Sam and Ella's Chicken Palace was the best pizza place ever. I also loved their burrito place Ernie Coli's. Also, it's pronounced Tal-uh-kwah. It's where The Red Fern Grows and is the capital of the Cherokee Nation. There is a state university there called Northeastern State University. It's a lovely little town.
A lot of American cities have Native American names.
I was in the local Walmart about a year ago and happened to notice the Soylent brand of shakes and immediately thought "Why would any brand associate any food with Soylent Green?" I mean the big line from that film is Charlton Heston shouting "Soylent Green is people! It's made from people!" Unbelievable....
American location names are often just bastardizations of their original language. French, Dutch, Spanish, German, English, Native tribes, Pacific Islanders and others have had their hand in naming things but we pronounce them differently.
Relatively serious??? Stop kidding yourself simon, blane braze has never been slightly serious, so not close to relatively serious!!!
There was a cartoon TV show in the UK about 25ish years ago and it had 2 characters called Sam and Ella, can't for the life of me remember what programme it was tho
As an Australian, I had never tried Fosters until I flew to England for a holiday.
It's terrible.
Seriously, you will NEVER see an Australian drink Fosters.
So what you mean you don’t know ANYTHING about Arizona, because that’s not where Arizona tea is actually made. Lol. I love this channel more than all your others.
There was a boycott of that tea a few years ago because of an immigration law Arizona passed and the tea had to clarify its not made there.
There’s a tidbit for you.
The free form side tangents are just the best!
Best is the Chevrolet Nova. Apparently, customers in Mexico would read Nova as "Smelly Cocksucker"
Omg. I remember growing up everytime the fosters ads came on, wed all walk around for 5min saying” fosters, australian for beeuh” the laughing like idiots at our god awful accent. 😂 anyone else do that?
This Australian didn't hate you until you said "Have another Fosters". We don't drink that mediocre stuff here, we export it because, while it's not good enough for domestic consumption, it travels well and is still better than anything we can get in most parts of the world
Megapussi didn't go wrong, they knew exactly what they did. I actually worked at the factory that makes them, and the boss confirmed that they most certainly knew. But in finland nobody is bothered by it but rather thinks it's funny.
Actually, they didn’t make a mistake when they named Ayds. It was just bad luck since the dietary aid was around before the disease. I know I had been buying it at least 2 years before hearing the newscast about the discovery of AIDS
Lol. When I heard there was a food product with the name "soylent" i was like....."so ot's people?" 🤣🙈
Simon complaining about not being able to pronounce American place names, meanwhile he’s from a country that has names like Worcestershire! 🤣🤣🤣
Simon our cities are very often named in native American dialects here in the states. Lots of fun names to pronounce by English standards once you learn the phonetics. I used to live on the Umpqua river. Always seemed such a pleasant word lol. Great video as always!
