I suggest paying Charlo Greene for a cameo.
Andy Dick does cameo, maybe get him to record a BB intro😂
4:00 I said on their face exactly when you did. So under the articles of jinx I'm not exactly sure what happens, but I forbid you to talk again until you give me a soda pop. Since this was recorded prior you've probably most likely talked since recording this so you broke the rules. The fine is 1,000 USD. I will settle for a box of peanut butter magic spoon if you can't afford the fine.
Ratio
Things go nice
Since Simon won’t do Cameo, we should pay Danny to write Happy Birthday greetings into the script for a premium price.
You absolute big brain!
Legend!
But how do we sneak the messages and payments to Danny in the basement where Simon is holding him prisoner?
or generic voicemail messages ?
THAT sir, is a KILLER idea!
I'm happy to say, "I was clueless to the existence of The Island Boys, before today".
I wish I could still say that. DAMN YOU WHISTLES!
It has tainted the quality and the experience of this channel.
The memes make sense now.
I hope the island is Rockall!
(All that guano lol!)
@@davidripley2916 Or North Sentinel Island.
I second this emotion.
I love that Sam just doesn't do what he's asked. It's brilliant. Not one note of Christmas music
He got me at the end. I knew I should have just left it paused at the credits...
A revoloution is brewing in the blaze basement!
@@Sundancekid201 blazement
I'm so happy you said something i've noticed that over the years she does what she wants😂
@@druyoutoo sams a dude, but yeah
I want to see Simon get a string of scripts about quitting jobs and suing former employers from Danny, and slowly get more and more concerned he'll need a new scriptwriter for BB.
shhhh... simon will see this
Suing former employees for using work time to craft their quitting letters. Lol.
Simon probably already thought of this and took measures to prevent it. Why do you think Danny is chained to a radiator in Simon's basement?
He’s chained in a basement, he can’t quit, allegedly.
He might have been let out of the basement for good behaviour, or possibly the whole story of him being chained in the basement was actually a warning from the begining of what would happen if he attempted to quit.
Or maybe he did quit, and is now actually chained in the basement... Or already was and now has a much larger chain to discourage such thoughts of escape.
Simon's Wife for Brain Blaze Guest Host.
She would be great. Back before Simon deleted his personal Vlog from 2016, I watched a bit of that. Domi seemed pretty cool
Yes, yes, yes.
And/or his kids.
Basically you said let's all look at Simon's wife......
Yeah! We don't see E.T.A. enough anymore!
Simon's cameo is just gonna be people hiring simon to yell at and berate their friends "*TYLER YOU ABSOLUTE BELLEND, HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU PISSED SOD*"
Duh! Lmao 🤣
Imagine if it was a guy named Peter's birthday. "AM I RIGHT PETER!"
😂 I would love that for my birthday!
"...Allegedly."
I loves Danny’s stories, who knows if the stories are true, based on a true story, adapted from a true story, based on real people, or completely made up. Or some combination of. Like a great comedian, that’s part of the charm.
I watch these secretly hoping that this will be the time that simon looks at the clock 30 minutes into a brain blaze and realizes that he's only halfway through the intro and just walks out.
The picture of Patrick taking his pants off when Simon talks about doing a cameo is the greatest thing
Uses for cameo:
Getting random celebrities to shout:
"AM I RIGHT PETER?!"
"DANNY WE TALKED ABOUT THIS!"
One of the most legendary resignations is the doctor who resigned from the NHS on live TV then declared he was going to sue the UK government
Fucking.. Legend
Showing Sideshow Bob along with the Island Boys was brilliant and hilarious! And no, I would never ask Picasso to sell his guitars.
Simon: Sam play some Xmas music
Sam: I don't even need the no meme here
The show really needs to be called Simon rambles. Best show on UA-cam.
#simonstutters.
Makes new channel tomorrow haha
"RamBlaze."
I love that Simon refuses to do Cameo not because he doesn't have the time with his 1000 other projects, but because he "has enough money".
Also love when Simon's f-bombs slide past the censors
The fact that after the name change almost every video is about business feels so right and on brand. Keep it up?
"Let's not smoke weed everyday."
And that's when Snoop disliked this video.
As I've learned from watching waaay too much Kitchen Nightmares and Hotel Hell, the problem with an English pub selling Australian sirloins and New Zealand lamb is that they've been shipped halfway across the world when there's likely a cheaper, fresher local source. Seriously, that's a major point Gordon Ramsay always hits when places are getting their ingredients shipped in.
My easiest time quitting was when they pissed me off right when they posted the 2 week schedule. I went around, got people to cover all my hours for those 2 weeks, called my boss and told him. Said I’m giving my 2 weeks and my next 2 weeks of shifts are covered, so bye.
It was because of a new manager they hired. He insulted me and made an extremely stupid move, considering he didn’t know me at all and the rest of the store did.
I did let them know exactly why I was quitting and why it was so abrupt.
Amazing strategy. Legend.
You made my head hurt. Why not not get people to cover your 2 weeks and let that manager figure it out? Also why not tell other people what your manager did? If my manager made me want to quit, I would tell my coworkers, my manager's boss, and my manager's bosses' boss and file and HR complaint. Odds are they are not going to do anything to stop you from quitting but It lets your manager's boss to be on the look out for bad behavior. That new manager will just go around insulting other coworkers the company has no idea why you quit.
@@kevinmiller5467 and I don’t care. It was petsmart dude. Bad management. And I did let the staff know I was leaving and why. They asked why I needed the days covered. Nothing I could do would have changed anything but increased how miserable I was. I got a better job.
@@canadiandee6342 I respect that. Pulled a power move without fucking over bystanders in the company. Kinda the opposite of how I left a job at a fish processing plant.
That was weak as hell. You were extremely considerate and made sure the position was covered long enough to hire your replacement. Fucking weak. My favorite story about quitting is when I sprained my ankle on vacation i was already thinking about quitting so I made it seem way worse than it was & I finished my vacation then immediately used up all my paid sick leave then spent another unpaid week telling them i would be able to come back Monday. I quit Monday.
Our glorious blaze boi is back
I wish I had an epic quitting story. The one that comes closest is when a former boss who I liked working for called me out of the blue and said he was starting a new business and wanted to bring me on board. I walked straight into my current boss's office and told him either I got a 20% raise effective immediately or this was my two weeks notice and I had enough vacation time to pack up and never come back. I sat in his office for a few minutes while he nervously stared at me while getting progressively redder. I eventually got up, took the metro home and returned with my car to empty my office
That actually is pretty frikkin epic.
That was actually a fairly good story.
"I'm normally not a big fan of anecdotes" ~ Simon Whistler
In my resignation letter to the disability evil empire, I wrote that my passion was helping people and that the evil empire’s core values no longer aligned with my passion. I don’t think that bridge exists anymore and I’m totally okay with that.
Aww
If Simon did have a Cameo, I would pay him to call me an OG BB directly. (I am. I remember the early days of the channel. )
Simon, I need more videos. More channels. More fact boy!
Agreed! I've watched all of his videos here, Megaprojects, Sideprojects, Geographics, Biographics, Decoding the Unknown, Into the Shadows, Casual Criminalist. I dont think I'll ever catch up with TopTenz or Today I Found Out, but I'm a good chunk into both. History Highlights older videos are super-short so I havnt taken the itme, but newer ones Im caught up on. Am I missing any channels?
@@alyssinwilliams4570 I caught up on every channel during the lockdown! It was such a good time for me personally to have fact boy seeing me through the lockdown.
Caught up on everything, and craving more like a hungry beast.
You mused xplrd
@@alyssinwilliams4570 I didn't see Xplrd mentioned. Though I think that one may be defunked. Simon's pretty poor in linking his channels to every other channel but clicking around and you will find most of them.
32:25 "...spoke to some of the people behind a new JOINT in town..." Simon, can't believe you missed that one.
I remember quitting a job on the spot, something I generally never do. I hadn't been on the schedule for two weeks and was offered more hours at my other job to quit. Walked in for my scheduled shift(a whopping 3 hours of a total of 8 hours for the week) and the manager was mad I wasn't going to the back to get ready.
I told him I was quitting and wouldn't be working that day. He got super mad at that and asked why I was throwing away such an opportunity.
I laughed and told him he could just give my whole 8 hours to someone else on the schedule the company decided to short change. I left and never looked back.
I dunno about the rest of the world, but in my twenty-some years of Christmas day drinking, I've experienced more often than not, food service is closed at the bar. The kitchen staff isn't usually tipped, so it feels nice to give them a day off, and let the drunks have chips & pretzels instead.
From someone who has worked in the food industry for 20 years THANK YOU.
@@ultimateskillchain Hey same here!
Simon: I have enough money. Simon's capitalist heart: 😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔
The KTVA resignation was the funniest thing I have seen in quite a long while good enough to replay it twice defiantly legend material.
11:30 - Chapter 1 - Quiche & Salad
16:20 - Chapter 2 - No man is an island
25:20 - Chapter 3 - It was a short summer charlie brown
28:30 - Chapter 4 - Green grass of home
Please, more of these! ❤️
Simon should do a reality series where he tries to get and hold a real job
Oh my gohd. Would watch the hell out of that.
Lol, I've had real jobs. I wasn't a UA-cam fact bum my whole life.
@@brainblaze6526 We know you're capable! I just think watching the tangents and asides during trainings for jobs of all different sorts would be entertaining as f***.
@@brainblaze6526 I don't doubt that you have, I just honestly think it would be hilarious.
@@brainblaze6526 I wouldn't call bugar sugar peddler a real job...
I suspect The Hoff does Cameo for his fans, even though it's a nominal fee.
De Niro did mine for $18.50 but we had to submit a very compelling story to qualify.
Are you sure he isn't broke? I remember reading a story about Hasselhoff living in a cheap motel room years ago. After Baywatch he did nothing that still brings in money after all.
@@MetalheadAndNerd Hes a huge singer as well in Germany. His drunkenness is the problem. Not his bank account sadly.
I think he'll eat a burger on the floor for a small fee😂😂😂
As a consistent user of cannabis and THC for chronic pain and PTSD, I like that Simon does not condemn weed, however I feel there is still a significant misunderstanding and stigmatization. Depending on the person, you could very well be aware and motivated while high. It’s something that affects speed of processing and the ability to communicate as efficiently, but until I smoked the way I do now, I didn’t understand exactly how. It’s kind of like a hangover, except instead of physical aches and pains and sickness, you can’t think clearly until you’ve abstained from THC for a lil chunk of time. And if you’re smoking for similar reasons to me, taking a break is pretty rare.
I suffer from chronic nausea. I microdose regularly throughout the day and I don't get brain fog. If you smoke larger amount less frequently, you're more likely to get the fog.
I love the implication here than non drug users will ever give anymore thought to drugs than the Simpsons does.
@@melody3741 I honestly don’t know that I’ve ever met a “non drug user” in the strictest sense of the term. Caffeine and OTC/prescription medication, particularly.
@@melody3741 ??? that’s simply not true unless you’re a literal child? and most of us don’t call weed a “drug” because it’s not the same as hard drugs. It’s only a drug in the same way that alcohol, sugar and caffeine are. But carry on in ur misguided ways
@@blackhat4206 Yeah exactly. People forget caffeine, alcohol and even sugar are all drugs lmfaooo
Girly = something a girl would like, fluffy pink unicorns or whatever; Girlie = a calendar or magazine with pictures of women
I just love how he cherishes his time it’s our only truly a nonrenewable resource
You might look back 10 years from now and say, "remember when people wore sweaters that were too small?" No sense in worrying about what you look like now from the future. It always looks bad to future you. You definitely need like Neil Patrick Harris doing a brain blaze promo on cameo. That would be legendary if you can get him to do his drug addict shtick from some of his movies.
A great way to incorporate Cameo into Busi...Brain Blaze, would be to just pay a whole bunch of different celebrities to read out sections of the scrips, and then send all the clips like a jigsaw puzzle to Sam to stitch together.
The anchor leaving was the most badass thing ever
As a fat man, I agree with oversized sweaters. They help hide my oversized belly.
Now if only I can get people to join in with my giant pants to hide my giant..
Equality isn't making the boys take down their girly calendar, it's the fact that girls now have hot men calendars :D
I remember people always talking about hot fire fighter calendars. All I could think is our local volunteer department that at one point only 30% could actually go into burning buildings cause they were old/ out of shape.
$500 for Mr. T. might be a good deal. Sure, it's only 30 seconds, but Mr. T. always gives it his all, so it would be 30 seconds of awesome.
Gilbert Gottfried will say literally anything on cameo. Listening to the voice of Iago talk as draco malfoy about having sex with moaning murtle is amazing.
Best part of the day my favorite UA-cam channel uploads a video! Blaze on Simon Danny and Sam!
Don't want Simon on Cameo or whatever.. I want Simon's voice on my car navigation..... "Take a left, you legend...."
"Your destination is on the right.
Allegedly."
Every so often after a direction is given there'd be some random rant.
So happy to be here!! This time of year is SO STRESSFUL and BB is my happy place.
I didn't know it was so rare. Leaving my last two jobs, I well and truly got to lighter fluid out and told the bosses what I really thought of them.
Both of them the work was decent. The boss was a bell end.
Now the work is good and the boss is great.
@dollarku❤jj what the actual fuck..
@@jamesdreads7828 You just witnessed the singularity
Charlo Greene's resignation was the first, and still the most badass quitting I remember watching/reacting to around when it happened lmao.
Nice. Something to listen to during my drive home. Legendary.
You need to add a Meme of Frau from Austin Powers saying, "Lies! ALL LIES!" When horsesh*t is afoot. It would be a nice switch up from the Tyler the Creator one 🤗
I will absolutely fucking do that. Thanks for the recommndation haha
@@samuel_avila awesome. Thanks boss.
Oh shit. Factboi let’s them look at the comments!
"Remember when we used to wear oversized Sweaters" - Yea, Because we have been wearing them and Baggy pants for THIRTY YEARS SIMON...
Factboi so far out of the loop he missed the whole 90's he grew up in...
Right?! I was watching that portion like, "Wtf? Did I miss something, or did Simon miss the last 30yrs?" 😂 There's a Fear Street book (The Stepsister) from 1990 with a reference to her "oversized sweater." Oversized comfy clothes aren't going anywhere.
@@Amarianee Balenciaga And Dior are out here selling $2000 Oversized hoodies because even the rich people want to look like that... Maybe Thats why The man who owns 25% of UA-cam is out of the loop
I'd love to hear a full Simon whistler cover of Island Boys. Some lovely renditions in this video
ua-cam.com/video/CQ_eDE0OMds/v-deo.html
"Really busy right now", Simons producing ~25% of all youtube content at this point
But he has like 90 channels.
Simon is UA-cam
More than 50% of my viewing content that is for sure. And if I had more time it would be higher.
Micro Blazes. You could have Danny write teeny tiny scripts for random people on cameo to read
Never heard of the Island Boys. Will NOT be checking them out after this either as the couple of seconds you played them on this video made me prefer to scrape my skin off with a rusty spoon rather than watching more of them.
Charlo Green is an absolute legend!!! More than any other person on this list!
A number of us want to see you drunk while reading the script.
In the snow?
Thats definitely happened before
Simon calls us all Ho's.... Happy Christmas Simon.
Is Simon's favourite comedian Nigel Farrage? I hate to tell you this Fact Boy... but Farrage isn't a comedy persona. He's ACTUALLY that much of a plonker.
Hey Simon, from me to you, it is totally fine to celebrate your escape from the nonsense of the financial systems when you moved! I support you celebrating things like that for yourself, no need to feel bad for those of us who haven't left or can't, I think it's petty to want to squash your happiness because people have less 🤷♂️ enjoy your circumstances ❤
Oversize sweaters are cool??? Awesome! I will break out my mum’s knitted ones :) they are super soft (she knots with baby wool or cotton for me!) and so warm! But just a little bit bigger than I need 😅
Oversized sweaters have been cool since at least the 90s, and are possibly one of the only fashion trends that have managed to endure that long. They're warm, comfy, and make for great pantless selfies for the thirsty Instagram models.
@@Amarianee I was joking, I always wear baggy clothes :)
Dang, I wish I had a handmade sweater ☹
Brain Boy wants to use Cameo for the channel.....
Just commission a heap of celebrities to do the Baddaa Boom Boom Tish so Sam can add them as needed !!!
Santa Claus documentary might not be heartwarming. I immediately spotted a Sinterklaas which is our Belgian/Dutch version, which is fine but the controversy about Zwarte Piet, his "soot-black" sidekick, is strong! Because he's an obvious racist stereotype but we keep using them every year....
Oof...
Simon being an h3 fan is mind blowing
Family family family
@@joshuatrace6643 STOP!
Business blaze forever
There is a legend who made a list of advice for criminals that Simon gives, but do we have a legend with loads of time, keeping track of all the jobs Danny has had?
Well... The ones I can recall are: Mail Carrier, Movie rental clerk, Tesco clerk, Matchmaker, and Security guard/ Equipment Despenser.
@@KougajiCalling legend! And weiter for a business magazine before getting kidnapped. Contant pros.
@dollarku❤jj hopi
I kind of feel that some if not all of it isn’t true and that if someone actually catalogues and tracks his history it will cause a bunch of inconsistencies with the timeline to appear.
@@C24U_ 😂. I'm so far I haven't heard any unbelievable claims. The dating agency was the craziest and that came early on
I love starting a sentence with "Simon says." It reminds me of my childhood toys. 😉
I'm waiting for Simon to buy that brand and start a chanel by that name.
The amount of star trek actors on cameo is pleasing, let's get some Q going on in here
I am also pleased with that... I am also happy that Ernie Hudson went up $105 since I checked last... $80 for the best Ghostbuster was offensive.
All hail the blaze
Hire Tom Hanks to make sure Danny knows he isn't leaving the basement
Got approached by a teen with a facial tattoo. He called me sir and asked for directions.
The kid could not have been more polite. Reminded me not to judge a book by its cover.
I liked how Simon shit on cameo for 2 minutes straight and then backpeddled saying he'd enjoy it right after saying he might have to do it if his shows collapsed. Nice save.
This is the quickest Ive seen a new video, 51 seconds after being posted \o/
Wow such big news
fIRsT
I get closer ever time!
It IS "in the mists of time", Simon. The phrase likens the passage of time to a fog that obscures things the further away from you they are, much like memories of things long past. Aren't you English?
Simon, you need to get Cameo to say the title of each episode!!
“Hi, I’m and you are watching Brain Blaze!”
that womt work when he changes the name again
Only celebrties from Rotherham though
Jack Paar was the second tonight show host and only did it for a few years. He went the Leno route and got a prime time show after quitting the tonight show for the last time.
I'd say find an affordable, medium profile Peter to record potential answers to "AM I RIGHT PETER?!" :D
Brain Blaze News... Not a bad idea, Whistler giving the world news with the usual Brain Blaze flavor! Peace!
I ❤️ fact Boi
CAMEO IDEA:
Have Peter Weller respond to Simon saying, "Am I RIGHT Peter?"
That would be awesome! Staged just like "Sonny" from "I am robot", standing by a window, looks over at camera and just says "no"
Nice. Yeah.
Island Boys is the worst thing the internet has produced in the last 5 years at least. Never has a more incoherent string of words bookended by the words "Island Boy" and rhyming phrases struck such a deep sense of rage and disdain.
You should have seen (and smelled) Toronto when the garbage pickup went on strike.
After that incident, I think it was changed so that their job was sort of like the police. They can strike, but they still have to do their job. You don’t have a city without police protection because of a labour dispute. Same for garbage pickup.
I remember that. It looked like the Joker movie. And smelled worse.
They fixed nothing they can still strike
@@bayoubilly5176 they can’t leave their jobs undone for weeks, but they can still strike.
Simon needs to pay for the Island Boys to sing "I'm a blazin boy"
I love this channel the content always puts me in a good mood
The more sponsors Simon gets, the less I feel they watch his videos. No wonder he still gets chased by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS.
Truth... Except maybe Magic Spoon.
This show is obviously filmed at the end of the day when Simon is halfway through a six pack of quality brew.
If Bill Murray was in cameo I'd hire him to troll Simon
Or Yoko Ono.
Seing a clip of Brennan Lee Mulligan in here, and particulary the "posion in your mind" quote, made me very happy.
Jim is definitely a knob, as an ex chef of 15 years I can tell you, you know you are working Xmas in the majority of catering establishments. it's practically in the job description
I love how the picture became ungraded everytime Simon stutters
First 10 seconds I was like wtf! Simon did the utter minimum mandatory BB intro bits straight to titel! Then Simon remembered this is BB and goes chasing squirrels (-:
In my experience as a chef it's common knowledge you do not get Christmas day off or anything like that they will tell you when you're allowed time off.
I see entirely too many people wearing large sweaters here in Florida. One of the few states where you almost never need one
Edit: speaking of quitting on live tv, how about that news lady and that Budd Dwyer guy, they did a quitting of sorts
'Get out of here, Jim. Knob.'
Reminds me: Simon, thanks for recommending the term 'bell end,' it's a new favorite. I openly suggest it to any of my friends who (god help us) persistently refer to people as 'wankers,' not realizing that any American using that term just sounds like...
...well, a knob.
Happy Festivus, thanks for all the videos! 😊
SIMON! I was literally putting on an oversized sweater when you said that 😩😅
9:16 me as well 😭😭 I always say how wonderful things were. I just finished working on a project where my friend took complete control. I’m a photographer and he even had the nerve to ask what photo apps I use so he could work on the pictures. When all was said and done I gave him a Christmas gift. Why am I like this?!! 😩
Generally, the usage is “mists of time”. Like in Danny’s usage. This is more of a *things can be a little hazy, due to passage of time* type of statement.
“Amidst of time” would be more like “Amidst the time of my younger days…” Essentially more of a *nestled in history*
Both, however, could be argued as being too flowery and flourish-y, but that would be nonsense. (See the Dead Poet’s Society speech about language.)
"In the midst" = "in the middle"
Jeff goldblum did a raid shadow legend add. The savior of humanity. The death of aliens. The dinosaur dueller himself. Has fallen like a swatted fly
I have to say the KTVA quit was pretty epic.
Had it not been as casual, possibly because it came from a stoner, it wouldn't have been as good.
Girly is the adjective
Girlie is the noun
Pardon if was pointed out earlier ,you get too many comments to scroll thou.
@@davidgrimaldi4904 I guess noticing the difference between posting a comment on the video rather than replying to a random comment also takes to much time.
