It's fine Simon we kknow the onyl reason you laugh at Danny being unable to drive is because even if he gets out of the basementit's even harderfor him to run away.
So let me get this straight. You stopped calling it Business Blaze because it had nothing to do with Business. Yet you still call it Brain Blaze despite the fact that Simon has lost his mind?
On the other hand Brain Blaze is a catchier name. Imagine if this channel had been called that from day one and someone was arguing to change it to business blaze. That argument would be such an uphill battle.

@@bloozee I'm watching this learning for the first time that our Woolworths, that's very much thriving to this day, and the UK/US one of yore are not related!

I’m actually glad to hear UA-cam premium does pay content creators a bit more than advertising would. I always wondered if me paying the extra for premium made any difference to any of the creators that I frequently watch.
For me, my thought is thatcI watch more cuz I'm not pissed off by ads constantly interrupting my videos, especially when I already have to get through the ad reads by video sponsors.
My love to Danny for writing My love to Sam for his meme-ing and dance mixing My love to Simon for being the medium that brings it all together for me to see, and for keeping the other two locked up for my selfish enjoyment It is a magick made in a basement. Happy Halloween boys 🎃🧡
In South Africa, Woolworths is actually seen as expensive and posh. So we have a running meme about it. People would say stuff like "Jason goes around acting all cool, almost as if he went to school at woolworths or something". It's funny how different the brand is here
Yeah my brother jokes that he and his girlfriend's goal is to become "woolworths people" As in they want enough money to buy their groceries at woolworths
Used to have Woolworths in Canada as well, but the one in my hometown closed decades ago, and I haven't seen one since. Same with K-Mart; we had them as well. But as I recall, the last few got bought out by Target, and then Target failed rather badly. Didn't do their research to fit in with the Canadian market. Don't know if there's any K-marts left here anymore either.
I used to go into Woolworth's with my favorite aunt and get candy cigarettes, which came in a realistic looking "pack" and made a puff of powdered sugar when you "smoked" them. Oh, the past!
I remember getting those as Halloween candies when I was a kid it's like one of those things you remember existing but question why the hell they could market those things.
Having a catchup binge, I just watched the one about the bad (allegedly) tobacco companies and immediately though of those candy cigarettes. Can you imagine it now?
"Who thought it was a good idea to sell food in buckets?" Then the businessman inside of him realized that somehow that's a wildly successful trend, and is genuinely impressed.
Simon, you should approach UA-cam about doing an advert for UA-cam premium, and just do a 40 minute blaze about it and take it down 100 different wild tangents in the process
Actually, according to several of my accounting and marketing profs (I just graduated last year), Facebook users are the product (the social media is the bait) and advertisers are the customers. You are not a customer if you aren’t paying anything.
It's kinda ridiculous the number of American companies who blatantly, and often illegally, aided the Nazis. Also, still hoping to see Danny write a script on Rocky Horror Picture Show.
@@natelax1367 I can think of 3; IBM, Ford, and Coke. Fun fact: Henry Ford was a nazi sympathizer and ran an antisemitic newspaper. He even had a group of people who would keep close watch on all his employees to the extent of showing up to their house (uninvited) and would report back to Ford on anything that didn't conform to his beliefs.
@@eddiehardt1260 coke never aided the nazis, they had a factory in germany but when the holocaust happened they stopped sending suplies to make soda with and had to pay a massive premium to prevent coke from destroying the factory. thats why we have fanta, the owner of the factory invented it to replace coke due to suply being cut off. coke didnt even purchase the recipe for fanta untill 1973
In the US we have "Dollar Trees", which I assume are similar to "Pound Land" Everything used to be $1, but over the past few years, Dollar Tree has added $2 and $3 aisles/areas in their stores. Can anyone confirm if Pound Land is like that now?
Yes, Poundland in England used to be “everything’s a pound”. Now you get products costing £2-£3… But it’s still cheaper overall. You can buy a box of biscuits or cleaning products for example in Poundland for, say £2, but the same item will be a bit more expensive in a regular supermarket.
In the US we also have Dollar General and Family Dollar. Same business model. No longer everything for a dollar, but still cheaper than any other place.
Poundland £1 items have less contents in them too. For example the brand name cleaning sprays used to be 500ml now they are 420ml. Johnson baby oil 250ml is now 200ml for a quid.
@@CrudzMcKenzieWhen did Dollar General and Family Dollar have just $1 items. I first went into each of them over fifteen years ago and everything was multiple prices back then.
@@ultimateskillchain I thought that once. Then I got a manual and realized how annoying it is in traffic and how much I don't even think about it while on cruising on a highway.

I remember Woolworth's as a kind (in Ohio, USA) but all I really recall from it is a small diner area and lots of fish tanks. The last one I saw was turned into a Subway and a convenience store. I could have sworn there were still Kmarts around here (as of a few years ago, there were plenty) but according to their website, all gone from most states. Wikipedia mentions the merger with Sears back in 2005 or so; no wonder those have all closed around here too! At least Craftsman tools are still available (at hardware stores, etc.).
Simon whistler! Take a break my man. Nothing makes me feel like more of a piece of shit then waking up at 1pm on a Sunday hungover and realizing you put a video out. Thanks for the entertainment and forced life contemplation.

Technology has made it very easy to make money. The online market is full of lucrativeness and passive income. I make huge profits on my investment since I started trading the online market with Ms. Claudia Kershaw
I invest with Mrs claudia too, she charges a 20% commission on profit made after every trading session and that's fair compared to the effort she puts in to make huge profit ss
Fun fact Kmart was at one time bigger than Walmart but then they aquired Sears and didnt believe in jumping on the online bandwagon as well as updating their stores so they have gone belly up.
Think it was this episode where Simon is ripping into theatre. His beloved captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) came from theatre. Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) theatre and captain James T Kirk (William Shatner). All captains of the old and best star trek came from a theatre background of some kind. This is not just by chance or coincidence, they selected the leads for a theatre background.
Loved the tangent about the fitbit. I think you don't realize how many steps you take pacing around your office, or at least flapping your arms as you rage. It also breaks down your steps every hour, encouraging you to move throughout the day, not just going for a long walk once, and being totally sedentary the rest of the day.
SATURN was making a profit, unfortunately the parent Company was heading for bankruptcy so they closed Saturn and poured what money they had left into Oldsmobile . Accountants and MBAs jerks strike again.
"'Cerberus Capital' You really chose the most evil name you could come up with, didn't you?" They initially considered "Incubus Capital Management," "Daemon Funds," and "Satan's Bellend Capital." Allegedly. (This is a joke and not true - please don't sue me CCM.)
When you were talking about Woolworths I was like "Wait what, its just a grocery store. You go there to buy milk and bread and eggs and stuff. Its a supermarket. Oh wait its different here in Australia..."
A friend was doing some online shopping a couple of weeks ago and wanted to get some Brussels sprouts. But they made an error, instead of buying one kilogramme of sprouts they ended up with a single sprout in a small bag, with a three pence price sticker.
As an American who is *ahem* years older than you, I grew up with Woolworths. It used to be a great option for shopping and was a staple for small towns. It wasn’t cheap junk in my youth but it also wasn’t super expensive. They didn’t have the pick and mix in those days but they did have a lunch counter. I have fond memories of shopping there and the creaky old wooden floors.
I was alive when we still had our Woolworths, but I never had the chance to go to it seeing that it closed when I was about 10 or so and our family didn't go downtown much. :/ I'm pretty sure it was one of the original stores, though, because I only live two hours away from Utica- but I've only ever heard of great things about the place, so I'm sad that I never got the chance to experience it. 😔 I never knew that Woolworths had expanded over to the UK, though, so that was actually pretty cool to find out! ☺️
K Mart, formerly S.S. Kresge Company, was much much bigger than Walmart in the 60s and 70s. (Kresge started out as "five and dime" but then became K Mart which was more like WalMart.) K Mart is still around but hanging on by it's fingernails. I feel like 80% of their locations have closed in the last 15 years.
16:58 Sam, I love you man. When Simon questioned the origin of the cutlass I instantly went to wikipedia to verify, then wikipedia shows up in the video. That was classic.
@@Battledongus They were a thing for a while in the 60s and 70s. Very hated. Source of the classic graffiti poem: Here I sit, broken-hearted. Paid my dime and only farted.
Simon, if your want a Fitbit to count steps (somewhat) more accurately you need to wear it around your ankle. Unfortunately, if you wear shorts people will think it's an ankle monitor.
at my job we have a company van, one of my co-workers was sitting in the back-most seat, and reached his steps goal before we got to our destination during a one hour trip 🤣
here in Australia we still have Woolworths, which we also lovingly call Woolies, but it's a supermarket and has no pick and mix lollies...that I can recall...i don't shop there...
"you have poison in your mind and the fact you can't see it makes me so sad" well, you have smug in your mind and the fact that you think things making you sad makes them bad makes me so amused.
Re: discrimination against folks who can't drive - there's medical reasons why some folks can't drive, and because they can argue discrimination on medical / disability grounds, it is safer to just not discriminate against non drivers in case they just hadn't disclosed their medical reason to you. I'm surprised you didn't think of that one fact boy!
Yeah, the plastic tat that passes for toys are amazing. There a Justice League rip-off, The Sense of Right Alliance, which is a 5 pack mini-figure set of a suspiciously looking Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Shrek and Lightning McQueen with a companion pack of Wonder Woman, Spiderman, Captain America, Aquaman and Black Widow. The companies that owned the IP's made a token lawsuit against the factory that made them. The factory defense was they had different name and the end product was so poor that no one would believe the original likeness was to the IP's holders standards for merchandise. The factory won.
Woolworths in Australia is everywhere, Woolworths and Coles are our two biggest mainstream supermarkets. Our Woolworths only sell every manner of groceries and general homewares though, I've never seen a lawnmower in there 😂
At this point, just change the name back to Business Blaze. Who cares what portion of the content is actually related to business. Anyone who doesn't like it, knows where the dislike button is, lol.
Funny thing is my parents had an Oldsmobile Cutlas LS and mom would take my sister and I to Woolworth’s and Mervyn’s. I have also ridden in a fully restored 1908 curved dash Olds. I’m trying to figure out how Danny stalked me from the basement while chained to a radiator.
I love how Danny turned the British-isms up to a 1000 with this one. Also, a close runner up is to hear Simon blow past a sentence and then say, “what?! really?!”
Large, hifh population parts of the US have _very_ different climates from the UK. This is why AC was pretty much standard equipment on American cars quite early on, despite the added cost (but _somewhat_ countered by economy of scale). Because, well, have you seen the chaos and death toll when there's a power outage in the summer South? _Not_ having AC meant getting slow-roasted while driving. If your windows wouldn't go down while driving in a hot Cally, New Mexico, Texas summer, it could easily get up to 60-65°C inside a car. More when stationary. AC was pretty much a highly neccessary driver/passenger safety feature.
Simon, I had the same problem with my fitbit. You have to designate whether it is on your dominant or non dominant hand because it will track hand movements while doing things like cooking but it usually works with distance AND movement. You standing there moving back and forth while you film counts as walking.
I worked at a Kmart for a few months in college. Growing up on the West Coast, Kmart and Target were pretty much THE bargain shopping stores. Walmart’s didn’t really start popping up until the late 90’s/early 2000s. I know Walmart’s and Sam’s Clubs (same owner) were more prevalent in the Midwest back in the early 90’s.
I had a blu two door Oldsmobile Calais that I loved...wished I still had that car! I love your channels Simon informative and fun. I live in the Circus Capitol of the World Peru, Indiana btw!
Ah, Woolworth's. I'm old enough to remember the soda counter at the one in Queens, New York City. Or, soda counters anywhere. The Woolworth Building in Brooklyn was once the tallest building in NYC (the original "skyscraper") and is still the tallest building in Brooklyn. And you pronounced "Utica" correctly the first time (YOO-tick-uh).
During the 60's, 70's and 80's Oldsmobile built some of the most badass cars on the road. Check out the 1966 Toronado or any 442. At one time they were the number 3 selling car in the US, but unfortunately GM in a cost cutting effort started to make them out of rebranded Chevy's, and that was the beginning of the end. As a sidebar to that the car company was also called the REO. Which sold a truck named the Speed Wagon. Do these names sound familiar? Ah well you were born in 1987. ;}
I didn't have many friends in high school, so when several of my former class mates wanted to make friends with me on Facebook 30 years later, I was like NOPE. You wanted nothing to do with me back then, why would I want to be friends with you NOW? 🤣😂🤣

The memeology is first class tonight. Well done Sam 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fun fact Kmart was at one time bigger than Walmart but then they aquired Sears and didnt believe in jumping on the online bandwagon as well as updating their stores so they have gone belly up.
Nope theyre still a business in Australia and NZ.
You are doing more business content as Brain Blaze than you ever did as Business Blaze lol
we all know its still really business blaze on the downlow
Think it was this episode where Simon is ripping into theatre. His beloved captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) came from theatre. Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) theatre and captain James T Kirk (William Shatner). All captains of the old and best star trek came from a theatre background of some kind. This is not just by chance or coincidence, they selected the leads for a theatre background.

It only lives on in our hearts....

Loved the tangent about the fitbit. I think you don't realize how many steps you take pacing around your office, or at least flapping your arms as you rage. It also breaks down your steps every hour, encouraging you to move throughout the day, not just going for a long walk once, and being totally sedentary the rest of the day.
Hmm, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn, and mercury. All of them were still around when I was a kid in the 90s and early 00s, but dead now
SATURN was making a profit, unfortunately the parent Company was heading for bankruptcy so they closed Saturn and poured what money they had left into Oldsmobile .
Accountants and MBAs jerks strike again.
Also Plymouth.
"'Cerberus Capital' You really chose the most evil name you could come up with, didn't you?"
They initially considered "Incubus Capital Management," "Daemon Funds," and "Satan's Bellend Capital." Allegedly.
(This is a joke and not true - please don't sue me CCM.)
Damn KFP has spread far enough that even whistle boy is accidentally talking about it
Ribs in a bucket sounds f'n amazing, tho! 🐖
"One bucket of hog's meat, please."
Not a bad idea honestly. I'm sure americans would love it.
Watching Simon on this channel while 3 tabs of acid deep is usually a great time but I was NOT ready for 28:39. 😂
No one was
I watched that segment 10-15 times straight😂
"Poundland" Sounds like a really bad low budget porn....just sayin.
You and I, on the same page.
I think Sam spends most of his time bleeping Simon's obscenities...
And misses half of them
Most common sentence in ALL brain blaze videos..."wtf am I talking about?!"
Keep the count going, Sam!!
When you were talking about Woolworths I was like "Wait what, its just a grocery store. You go there to buy milk and bread and eggs and stuff. Its a supermarket. Oh wait its different here in Australia..."
Raid shadow legends now that's a creepy Halloween message 😇🕷️
Video: "IT CAME TO ME IN A DREAM"
Me: [checks my food for hallucinogens]
OMFG Sam my stomach hurts. I think you are literally killing me. 🤣
Dozed off a little and woke up to the "came to me in a dream" segment. That...was confusing and terrifying.
:) That opening graphic still said Business Blaze
A friend was doing some online shopping a couple of weeks ago and wanted to get some Brussels sprouts. But they made an error, instead of buying one kilogramme of sprouts they ended up with a single sprout in a small bag, with a three pence price sticker.
As an American who is *ahem* years older than you, I grew up with Woolworths. It used to be a great option for shopping and was a staple for small towns. It wasn’t cheap junk in my youth but it also wasn’t super expensive. They didn’t have the pick and mix in those days but they did have a lunch counter. I have fond memories of shopping there and the creaky old wooden floors.
Remember having really good milkshakes at their counter. 😋
That sounds like Kmart. I miss Kmart
The Blue Plate specials were really good.
Mine sold fish that died almost as soon as you got them home.
I was alive when we still had our Woolworths, but I never had the chance to go to it seeing that it closed when I was about 10 or so and our family didn't go downtown much. :/ I'm pretty sure it was one of the original stores, though, because I only live two hours away from Utica- but I've only ever heard of great things about the place, so I'm sad that I never got the chance to experience it. 😔 I never knew that Woolworths had expanded over to the UK, though, so that was actually pretty cool to find out! ☺️
K Mart, formerly S.S. Kresge Company, was much much bigger than Walmart in the 60s and 70s. (Kresge started out as "five and dime" but then became K Mart which was more like WalMart.) K Mart is still around but hanging on by it's fingernails. I feel like 80% of their locations have closed in the last 15 years.
R.E. Olds founded a second car company called REO. One of their best selling vehicles was the REO Speedwagon. Seriously.
The band was named after the car.
*insert stop fucking lying meme here*
16:58 Sam, I love you man. When Simon questioned the origin of the cutlass I instantly went to wikipedia to verify, then wikipedia shows up in the video. That was classic.
We had a Woolworths in Danville, Virginia with a $0.10 dime lock on the toilet. I remember sliding under the door of the stall to piss as a kid.
i would 100% urinate on the door a charge toilet is not ok
@@Battledongus They were a thing for a while in the 60s and 70s. Very hated. Source of the classic graffiti poem: Here I sit, broken-hearted. Paid my dime and only farted.
We've got to get Simon Whistler's Came To Me In A Dream song to #1 in the music charts for Christmas! Somebody get it on Spotify
One can't help to wonder if Simon is secretly sponsored by raid shadow legends, Oh the conspiracy.....
ok... i was just watching the newest episode of BB and i accidentally hit F5 and it refreshed the video is now Private...WTF?!?!?
Simon, if your want
a Fitbit to count steps (somewhat) more accurately you need to wear it around your ankle. Unfortunately, if you wear shorts people will think it's an ankle monitor.
at my job we have a company van, one of my co-workers was sitting in the back-most seat, and reached his steps goal before we got to our destination during a one hour trip 🤣
You mean a second ankle monitor? Allegedly.
here in Australia we still have Woolworths, which we also lovingly call Woolies, but it's a supermarket and has no pick and mix lollies...that I can recall...i don't shop there...
WHAT!? UA-cam notifications actually worked?! I'm frankly shocked!!
Same. It kept being late. Now brain Blaze is finally on time again 7pm as it should be ❤️
"you have poison in your mind and the fact you can't see it makes me so sad"
well, you have smug in your mind and the fact that you think things making you sad makes them bad makes me so amused.
Simon: "UA-cam premium, I make more money"
Me: "You're welcome... that and I hate fucking commercials... But yea, you're welcome :)
You’re welcome Simon
We all hate commercials. Most of us just get an ad blocker.
WTF happened to the most recent video? Who's wiping Simon from the internets?????
I smell a new BB episode....
It came to me in a DREAM!
Are we dreaming of a new T-shirt on the shelf?😂
This was a whirlwind of an episode! Sam's memes are just god tier 🤣🤣
Apropos of absolutely nothing, Simon does a 2-minute rant about his FitBit 🤣
Re: discrimination against folks who can't drive - there's medical reasons why some folks can't drive, and because they can argue discrimination on medical / disability grounds, it is safer to just not discriminate against non drivers in case they just hadn't disclosed their medical reason to you. I'm surprised you didn't think of that one fact boy!
Simon you underestimate how cheap and shity knock off Chinese products can be.
I have an off brand KFC in my town called MFC for (city name) fried chicken and it belongs to Chinese 😂
Yeah, the plastic tat that passes for toys are amazing. There a Justice League rip-off, The Sense of Right Alliance, which is a 5 pack mini-figure set of a suspiciously looking Batman, Superman, Iron Man, Shrek and Lightning McQueen with a companion pack of Wonder Woman, Spiderman, Captain America, Aquaman and Black Widow.
The companies that owned the IP's made a token lawsuit against the factory that made them. The factory defense was they had different name and the end product was so poor that no one would believe the original likeness was to the IP's holders standards for merchandise. The factory won.
Woolworths in Australia is everywhere, Woolworths and Coles are our two biggest mainstream supermarkets. Our Woolworths only sell every manner of groceries and general homewares though, I've never seen a lawnmower in there 😂
Simon speaking in tongues..."Raid...." Get the Holy Water!👿
Get out of here ghosts!!
At this point, just change the name back to Business Blaze. Who cares what portion of the content is actually related to business. Anyone who doesn't like it, knows where the dislike button is, lol.
Funny thing is my parents had an Oldsmobile Cutlas LS and mom would take my sister and I to Woolworth’s and Mervyn’s. I have also ridden in a fully restored 1908 curved dash Olds.
I’m trying to figure out how Danny stalked me from the basement while chained to a radiator.
I love how Danny turned the British-isms up to a 1000 with this one.
Also, a close runner up is to hear Simon blow past a sentence and then say, “what?! really?!”
Large, hifh population parts of the US have _very_ different climates from the UK. This is why AC was pretty much standard equipment on American cars quite early on, despite the added cost (but _somewhat_ countered by economy of scale).
Because, well, have you seen the chaos and death toll when there's a power outage in the summer South? _Not_ having AC meant getting slow-roasted while driving. If your windows wouldn't go down while driving in a hot Cally, New Mexico, Texas summer, it could easily get up to 60-65°C inside a car. More when stationary. AC was pretty much a highly neccessary driver/passenger safety feature.
I misheard “Danny writes me a script” for “Daddy writes me a script”” and nearly choked on my cuppa! Thanks BlazeBoy!
I think the opening graphic still said "Business Blaze", which is the TRUE NAME of this show.
That it did...
Simon, I had the same problem with my fitbit. You have to designate whether it is on your dominant or non dominant hand because it will track hand movements while doing things like cooking but it usually works with distance AND movement. You standing there moving back and forth while you film counts as walking.
Mine goes crazy if I'm driving on gravel roads!
K Mart was Walmart before Walmart, my little city got one in the 70s. Had to wait until 1990 for a Walmart. The last Kmart is closing in November.
where's that? I thought they were all closed already. I found out not long ago that there's Kmart in Australia too I wonder if that's also a knockoff
Kmart is flipping huge in Aus! Guessing is is owned by Walmart…. We also have Big W but no where as big at the Kmart.
I worked at a Kmart for a few months in college. Growing up on the West Coast, Kmart and Target were pretty much THE bargain shopping stores. Walmart’s didn’t really start popping up until the late 90’s/early 2000s. I know Walmart’s and Sam’s Clubs (same owner) were more prevalent in the Midwest back in the early 90’s.
This was the most comedic Simon episode I have ever seen. Being sick enhances his comedic abilities.
That Googling of Cutlass 😂😂😂
I had a blu two door Oldsmobile Calais that I loved...wished I still had that car! I love your channels Simon informative and fun. I live in the Circus Capitol of the World Peru, Indiana btw!
"When something is free you are the customer" - fact boi, 2021
Ah, Woolworth's. I'm old enough to remember the soda counter at the one in Queens, New York City. Or, soda counters anywhere.
The Woolworth Building in Brooklyn was once the tallest building in NYC (the original "skyscraper") and is still the tallest building in Brooklyn. And you pronounced "Utica" correctly the first time (YOO-tick-uh).
Sam fucking did amazing this one 😂😂😂 never stop making these 😂😂 ty Sam Danny and Simon
During the 60's, 70's and 80's Oldsmobile built some of the most badass cars on the road. Check out the 1966 Toronado or any 442. At one time they were the number 3 selling car in the US, but unfortunately GM in a cost cutting effort started to make them out of rebranded Chevy's, and that was the beginning of the end.
As a sidebar to that the car company was also called the REO. Which sold a truck named the Speed Wagon. Do these names sound familiar? Ah well you were born in 1987. ;}
KFP is Kentucky fried panda. "It's finger lingling good!"
Oh my gohd 😅😅 Oh NoOoo😅😅😅
No. It's obviously Kentucky Fried Possum. Where would they get a panda in Kentucky a zoo? They probably only have 1 zoo.
@@christinebenson518 I hear their zoo is so small it only has 1 animal, a dog. It's a shit zoo.
I didn't have many friends in high school, so when several of my former class mates wanted to make friends with me on Facebook 30 years later, I was like NOPE. You wanted nothing to do with me back then, why would I want to be friends with you NOW? 🤣😂🤣
Sing to the Simpsons “Duff Beer song” ~ Cocaine for me, cocaine for you, Simon likes coke, and Magic Spoon. FKN BUISNESS BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAZE
ring ring, ring ring...yes Simon, this is RAID Shadow Legends. We'd like to talk to you about our extended sponsorship. Hello?
I think this channel should just be named “Blaze”
There's already a channel called The Blaze. Some extreme right wing rubbish, I'm told. Simon wouldn't want to be associated with that.
