When Simon says “I’ll link to it below” you can be 100% sure it won’t be linked to....... yet I still finding myself looking.
I'm waiting for the day there's actually a rick roll!
NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
@@hudsoncampbell5064 he has done that already
@EmperorJuliusCaesar same!!!
Sometimes I do. Often its just a Rick Roll.
"Who's this guy? What an egg!" Best. Line. Ever!
I've seen a couple of the old beardless Simon videos. He's completely unrecognizable outside of his voice.
Andy B where can I find them
@@robertmooney4193 "Top Tenz", one of his first channels.
3:42 for that line. And 3:37 for the full joke
The smoothest egg in the world!
When I first watched Business/Brain Blaze I honestly thought, "Wow this is really ridiculous."
But now I can't stop watching these videos and this is probably my favorite Simon Whistler channel.
"Beards have been around for forever." So ... before they were cool?
They are not cool, they are hot in the summer 😁
They were always cool:)
@@Monti1999 I was gonna say... They were cool before they existed...
They were never cool.
@@cartoonkelly7924 Boo!
Living in China, it's often difficult to connect to UA-cam. However, when I am able to, I make sure to catch up on Business Blaze first thing, and watch all the way until the end to give you that sweet algorithmic love. Keep up the good work, and thanks for doing this channel.
You're a good egg, mate! Keep doing the good work. 🤗
A legendary watchtime legend!
U should use a VPN to connect to YT, if u have someone outside try host own on Raspberry Pi and software PiVPN (First true safe VPN)
How do Chinese citizens download a VPN without first alerting the authorities? I’ve always wondered that.
Fire up that VPN.
Simon, it’s so refreshing to see your humor on here. I know we only get glimpses of it on your other channels, so this a great treat. I don’t even like business stuff but you make it fun and I enjoy learning from you.
I don’t know if you’re taking requests, but I think it be interesting to see some failed housing developments from big household names, like Thomas Kinkade, the painter of light.
Keep up the great work, you’re helping everyone through this rough time! Stay safe!
I think that would be cool aswell!
Agree
Simon would kill a puppy over a human, no sense of humor can make up for that!!!
(Joke)
This is going to be great!
How do you not like business stuff
To me as a kid Snapple was “that brand of drink we bought at the gas station on road trips”
Ah for me it was the one grandma and grandpa always had way too much of, so I could drink as many as I wanted
Legend here.
Still have landline for grandfather to call, can't teach an old dog ten digits.
You got me. I tried to flick the hair off the screen.
"the only channel where you can be sure that I have legs."
- Simon Whistler
So at his other channels he doesn’t have the legs on?
Plot twist, simon actually has two peg legs
But does he have feet?
Allegedly
Wait, wait.....why is it this channel where we kept finding out Simon's life. Law school, married, a baby.....what will we find out next?
Also business school
Married a baby? U wot m9
He is in the first avengers film I learned that from business blaze, he is like every cop in Trafalgar square
@@KristopherBel that's right, I forgot about that!
Baby?
3 seconds in and this is already one of my favorite episodes.
P.S. You think deep-frying candy is extreme. We deep-fry our butter!
FUCK YEAH
I’m in Louisiana, we deep fry everything including ice cream and Oreos.
"just a few short months later... "
"were they all February's Danny?"
"Well the most expensive mistake ever made was Chernobyl"
Sounds like toptenznet Simon.
Pretty sure Simon has legs, folks, I read it in a Snapple cap.
a LEG e n d l y
"The average number of human legs per human is not two."
Simon pulled an Abraham Lincoln. Went from egg to everyone going crazy for him
IMDB says This about Star Wars: Action, Adventure, Fantasy
George Lucas also wants to try to disclaim that it's a sci-fi interestingly enough now, but on the flip-side of the coin outside of the original trilogy it delves into much more "sci-fi" elements in the other movies and shows, going so far as to explain things.. It feels very fantasy-esque, sure, but def feels sci-fi western (as was originally pitched by the man himself to studios and toy companies). Even the main movies are filled with so many sci-fi tropes it's funny. One thing that I find hilarious is that only original tril have smoke in the explosions/fires and the latter movies don't.... I mean, that's not how fire works.... Despite the pressurized spaceships, the latter movies seem to show all these laser rifles igniting computers and other things alight, but there's never smoke later on... da heck?
@@mandiblackwell4668 Space Western: "They went thataway, Roy. Follow me and we'll cut them off at the Horsehead Nebula,"
"Why do you pay $1.7 billion for something and then ruin it?" Oh boy that reminds me, you should do a video on that time Verizon bought Tumblr for $1.1 billion, banned porn (Tumblr lived and breathed on porn), most of the userbase left, and then Verizon sold it for $3 million. The lost hundreds of millions of dollars due to doing a thing literally everyone on the site told them was a terrible idea.
yeah lmao that was a fun time -_-
If i remember correctly that wasn't due to Verizon.There was new legislation coming out that would have placed increased liability for content posted on the site for the site owners. So they where kind of forced into it.
@@bigmeek4705 there was that law, but most of what was happening on tumblr wouldn't actually hurt verizon in any way, so they banned everything possibly sexual to protect from being responsible for some of the teens that were posting nude photos on the platform
Teacher: "The test is only 3 pages"
The test: 0:22
I see you don't limit yourself to anime comment sections, my good sir
It will get better, after school all you have to do is work so you can live until the day you die 😀
funnily enough this was my first semester ( well before the campus was closed as we swapped to online) where i had one of those tests that's IMPOSSIBLE to finish in the allotted time. I had heard stories about them.. but i had never HAD once before.. and I'm normally one of the first people to turn in my test in most subjects and i generally ace it. i mean he gave us 2 an a half hours for the test and i could EASILY used another 1-2 hours. even the person who had been working in the field (engineering) for over 30 years and was just in the class for CE said a aloud after the test.. "well i could have used another hour".. the test packet was like half an inch thick and some of the ( like 5 of so) were to draw to scale complex engineering drawing based on a 3d model which took nearly a half hour each.
its was funny because i didn't even feel bad for not finishing or even coming close to finishing... no one could...
We still have a landline. Partially because we've had that number for longer than any mobile number so it's possible that somebody who needs to reach us would only have that number. But mostly because we only give our cell numbers to people we actually want to talk to, and all the companies and spam can just call the landline and then we check the messages to see if someone actually important called.
Simon going to law school is perhaps the most Simon thing I've heard all day...
Ice tea makes alot more sense when you live in the deep south in the middle of the summer. I'm pretty sure it sprouted from there and even though I do not live in the deep south, if I'm not drinking beer I'm drinking ice tea. Not southern ice tea though. That like 90% sugar.
Mmm nothing better than a big glass of my grandma's freshly brewed "southern" iced tea. 🤤
Tea it's the only drink that is good at any temperature... I like hot coffee and iced coffee but room temp coffee is disgusting
Hot tea is apparently the most refreshing drink in hot temperatures, who knows how that works??
Nope still doesn't make sense to me...
Yhea apparently hot Tea oddly cools you down more than ice Tea. The science supposedly is that it first makes you hotter which activates the bodies natural responses to cool you down. You start to sweat etc and the overall effect is you're cooler than if you'd had the Ice version which would do the opposite, causing the body to try to retain heat.
From Alabama here. Milo’s is the state drink. Sweet (we’re not savages) tea is Heaven’s nectar.
If Simon ever stops roaming while he blazes I'm going to assume he lost his legs.
This is the only channel that you can be sure that he had them in the first place
I'm going to assume he had to go without his normal pre video "bump"
👃
❄️
Binging this channel since I stumbled on it. This is your best one yet Simon. Your flow and banter is causal and Danny's scripts are wicked!
Now we know why Simon hasn't grown up, he never watched Fragle Rock.
Things Simon has never heard of, an ongoing (and updated) list:
- Barbara Windsor
- ZX Spectrum
- Bullseye!
- Fraggle Rock
- Howard The Duck
- Ian Botham (Simon doesn't understand why this is shocking to me)
- Rotherham
- Axl Rose
- Starship (the band)
Any others I've missed? Add them in the comments.
I was gonna comment on the Fraggle Rock, that really surprised me.
But i guess i am a couple years older than he is, so i might just've caught the last season(s)/syndication run.
And Howard the duck
You should keep count on every video! Someone else is doing the meme count 🙂
Axl Rose
Damn, I remember when Fraggle Rock first started airing.
Beardless Simon still haunts me.
i kinda digged the beardless simon....i do dig the sasquatch simon as well tho
For an information channel, I'm amazed how often Simon says "I've never heard of x" where "x" is something that's incredibly common.
That's the young generation for you.
@Jorn Navarre I live in the UK and know all these things.
Plus, he doesn't live in the UK.
It might have to do witg the Catholic school education?🤔
But indeed I agree, holes in his general knowledge are ... staggering.
"Fraggle rock. No idea what that is" - Cue the "I had a deprived childhood" music...
"Down at Fraggle Rock!" (PEW!!)
Fraggle Rock: A puppet based kids show created by Jim Henson, creator of the Muppet's. Loved that show when I was a kid.
Not just as a kid. I rewatched it on Netflix as an adult and it still holds up for me. I had the theme song in my head for weeks and I didn't mind.
Agreed.
🎶Dance your cares away *CLAP CLAP* worries for another day. Let the music play *CLAP CLAP* down at Fragle Rock🎶
The wisdom of the trash heap!
I'm glad this video confirms that simon still retains all his lower appendages.
You should make a t-shirt that says "meditation beads" with the picture you flashed on screen.
Well that is a sort of "meditation" isn't it?
I accidentally spit up my drink when Simon said " the only channel where you can be sure that i have legs"
And after commenting way too early -dyscalculia=dyslexia with numbers
I almost did it too
Came to say this!
Wanted to say this aswell
Keep them coming. These videos always bring a smile to my face. Now that I am working from home I also get to force my wife to watch them. Good times.
Good. :D
I have to say I love the reasoning given for why duelling is illegal in the UK... it's OK to consent to harming yourself, but duelling (or other serious injury) would "deprive the king for an able bodied citizen for the defence of the realm"
Wait, Simon went to law school..? Intriguing. I think we need a business blaze on Simon Whistler's backstory and rise to UA-cam stardom.
"Sweet algorithmic love" sounds like an album title
It'll be my debut. With the leading track, 'Smash that Dislike Button'.
6:23 umm Simon. Those aren’t “meditation” beeds although I’m pretty sure you do need to focus when you use them 😂😂
I was going to make the same comment... :D
Whelp, that's getting the big bellow stamp of demonetization.
Yep, I knew the comment had to be here somewhere. The editor slipped that one in almost subliminally.
Some people have different ways to find their inner peace. I won't judge.
I can say, reasonably, without a shadow of doubt, that was, in fact, the joke.
You now have to apply to Buckingham palace for a message from the Queen on your 100th birthday because it's become such a common occurrence.
I am an original legend and I haven't had a landline in over 15 years.
Video starts: coughs once
Spends the next 20 seconds explaining why he DOESNT have covid-19😂
Recorded before corona was cool.
Business Blaze don’t you mean viral “BU-DU-BUM-PUM-CHHH” 🥁
Can we petition to have Simon try a glass of southern sweet tea on ice?
And I'll do you one better Simon, I actually have a landline. And I kind you not, is an actual, working rotary phone
All of us know that guy that has a landline...
As a person in Texas I don't know why you would torture another person with sweet tea. It's garbage in my opinion.
Him: Dislikes Star wars and Lord of the Rings
Me: How can I both hate and love a youtuber this much
Who doesnt watch these to the end?! I'm obsessed. I freaking love off the cuff Simon. My friend you are sunshine on cloudy days. Keep up the good work!
I would make a comment here but, declaring that I'm a legend (because I stayed to the end) is all that matters. Simon said.
Allegedly?
I've got a landline. Because sometimes I need to call my mobile, because I've lost it, because it's a slab of black and hard to see.
Thus, to make landlines redundant, just persuade people that bright pink mobiles are cool.
they are cool.
Stefan Travis You need a second mobile, not a landline...:)
@@juzoli Then he would have two slabs of black he couldn't see and no means to call either one.
Actually, since the modern world gives us things like Siri and -Corona- meant to say Cortana. So it ought to be possible to call out to your phone and have it answer by ringing, thus making it easy to find even when in silent mode. It also needs to have some backup power as to be able to ring even if it is shut off or the bloody thing is empty of regular power.
Gotta agree with you there.
Also is the Business Blaze Logo supposed to look like 3 fingers?
@@CologneCarter there are apps for that. I was at one point very tempted to download an app where if you cried out "Marco" your phone would respond "Polo" - the reason I didn't, in the end, was because of the drain on the battery since the app had to always be running.
I have frequently used my work cell to locate my personal cell and vice versa. One day I couldn't find either of them, so I out went to my car, found that I did have a Bluetooth connection, phoned a friend of mine and had her call me repeatedly until I could find my phone . . .
"Hundreds of innocent deaths"...
Followed by
"I don't know why I'm laughing "
Followed by
"Wallstreet traders, there's the joke"
...
Epic 😂
I have zero interest in business stuff, yet here I am. This channel is absolutely hilarious XD
I literally just watched a video on how jellied eels are a delicacy in the uk.......and Danny thinks cold tea is weird
Whats the video called?
@@jennifernorman2000 there is several just look up britsh jellied eels
Have you seen what they call puddings? Or their meat pies?
Love waiting to see what random gaps in Simons knowledge we will find out about today
Dyslexia is when it is words mixed up and dyscalculia is for when you have issues with math and numbers. So there is your new word Simon : D
I like how Simon calls Star Wars boring but then literally watches Star Trek
I also love how correct Simon is 😘
I've moved on from there. I only watch Star Trek figuratively now.
Just when I don't think I could despair more over Simon than when he said he's never seen The Princess Bride, has no idea who Nosferatu is or Rob Roy. He goes and says that he doesn't know what Fraggle Rock is 🤦♂️
I still only know what two of those four are.
Yes, the Fraggle Rock hurt
Although his other channels are great, this one is by far my favorite. The content is excellent, the delivery impeccable, and the humor dead on.
:) thanks
This channel alone is getting me through quarantine lol
out of all the shows you do this one is one of my favorites , just because we seem to get the real version of you unfiltered , keep it up mate !
Um... im shocked no one has commented that the "meditation beads" Simon showed were actually anal beads...
I love that these always get released right before my lunch break
I live in the uk and BT has this feature where if you want to get to us on the house phone, you basically have to go through an answer machine first and say who you are. If you are in our phonebook, you can get straight through but if you aren't, as the phone rings, you get a robot saying, "you have a call from (person recorded their name) to accept the call, press 1" We generally don't get telemarketers because they don't want to go through the rigmarole of talking to a machine so they just hang up. Usually the people who will need to talk to you will take the time and wait.
Yup me too, its awesome
i'm sure everyone knows this, but a "biscuit" is a cookie. "chips" are fries, while potato chips are "crisps", grilled cheese is a "toastie".
Editor Sam, I appreciate the toothpaste sandwich picture 👍
Edit: I'm a complete legend ;)
As others have noted, you'll learn to appreciate iced tea when you live in areas that get close to 100F (38C), especially when the humidity is also close to 100%.
I really enjoyed Snapple lemonade, but at some point they dropped it, and I could only find strawberry banana lemonade, cherry lemonade, peach lemonade, etc, etc. None of which I had any interest in.
Texas.
100 percent humidity would mean the air is water?
Sounds logical, but no. It means the air is completely saturated, and is holding as much water as it can.
@@Ostalgie658 Think more like a sauna.
I went to Prague on vacation once, and came to the realization that Europe in general doesn't use ice. I had a smoothie that was room temperature. I don't know how they do it, but they do not put ice into their drinks and everything is room temperature. This includes Poland, as that was the other country I had to suffer warm drinks in. Beautiful beautiful places, despite their mortal hate of ice.
Those were NOT MEDITATION BEADS hahaha
Good to know that simons grasp on reality is going the way of the dinos so violently but completely localized to this channel
I appreciate that Business Blaze is creeping into your other channels. Also, I said "can't be arsed" today, because I watch entirely too much of this channel.
Edit: WTF, Simon? You're shitting all over my fave fandoms (not baseball)??? In the immortal words of Padme Amidala:
You're breaking my heart! You're going down a path I can't follow!!!
You mean, Padam Amidaler?
jchrisfields arsche is a German word meaning ass.
@@beaubeaukitty5301 in the way it's being used here, arse is a British English word meaning the equivalent of ass in American English among other dialects.
Cameron Carlson and before there was English? The parent Language to English is German hence the correlation.
@@beaubeaukitty5301 myth English is a bastard language of Celtic languages Germanic nordic romance. also all of those came from indo European language basically languages are way more complex then the shit u learned in school. so to say English is German is correct enough to be wrong on every level possible.
"It's the end of February" double checks my calendar.
Also, complete legend.
You fell outta the TARDIS at the wrong time mate
Meditation beads, scented candles, and Himalayan salt blocks, each with a pair of glasses and a beard in it, would be legendary. Do it.
17:27 "There's nothing that bores me more [than Star Wars]. Except for baseball and Lord of the Rings" wow, I didn't know you were my spirit animal lol
Fuck off. Star wars and LOTR is awesome.
Thank goodness! I've been haunted by the mystery :/ for the longest time I was convinced you were just a talking head with an animated torso and rather unconvincing arms.
We know he has legs but how far do they go down? He could be using stubs to stand in a bench to bring himself to normal height 🤔
joseph bennett
What’s wrong with not having full legs?
Nathan Brame nothing
@@fastinradfordable i would wager it really really sucks and none of the really cool shoes would fit
@@m0j0e97 that's a lie sir !
@@fastinradfordable I actually have triple legs. So instead of feet I have a second set of knees (although they are more like elbows), and then another leg bone, and then finally my feet.
It's pretty cool.
Ah yes, dyscalculia, the hidden child of the learning disorders. It's a difficult one to manage, speaking from experience.
I'm rewatching all your videos, staying until the very end of every one! Thanks for aaalllllll the amazing content!
A cold....😑 if Simon dies what am I going to watch 24/7??
A word from America:
Snapple is great
-Some random American
I got an ad!!! And I watched it all the way through. Just for you Simon!
Little bit more context on the telephone: Bell literally bribed the patent agent to delay any telephone patents that came through and give him notice when that happened. Bell was given the patent document, and then immediately filed for a patent which was granted before the original patent application could be reviewed.
He wasn't just "the first to patent," he stole the whole thing.
5:06 We definitely do that in the US. The Minnesota State Fair has deep fried cheese cake, ice cream, Oreos, snickers, twinkies, cheese curds, and that’s just getting started.
To be fair, the Minnesota State Fair is kind of known for that sort of thing. I'm not even from Minnesota and I'm familiar with the deep fried bullshit that goes on at the Minnesota State Fair.
@EmperorJuliusCaesar I believe they had deep fried Coke, and beer.
@@PalmelaHanderson That's very true! They have pretty much anything you can imagine on a stick too.
In Texas we have deep fried butter...:::1step, 2 step, 3 step, heart attack:::
epic.
Yes to Gatorade being fit for only hangovers, yes to finally seeing them Martians. And if humans are redeemed as priceless, the most costly Nasa stuff up is the Challenger-incident. They lit that candle despite the warnings from the O-rings manufacturer, and scarred a bunch of school kids in the process. Not their proudest moment.
I love your videos! This channel is so laid back and you're so much more casual and animated! Keep it up!
The Queen DOES send birthday cards to anyone who reaches their 100th birthday - and for every birthday thereafter. However, you have to apply for them by writing to the Anniversaries Secretary at Buckingham Palace.
Yo Simon, my man, just wanting to say that I'm huge fan of your work, I started with TIFO and then moved on to biographics and geographics and now this, love yer work keep up it, and I praise all your team for making the great content as well, also even though I'm a Star wars fan, i'm not gonna hit the dislike button cause I respect yer opinion, also ye, we scottish people do deep fry mars bars on the occasion, though I've tried one 😅😅
Danny's insulting iced tea? That's an easy way to get the South to rise again.
We've been looking for an excuse
I'm not holding my breath for idiot confederates to "rise up" over anything.
@@peteoconnor6388 oh, don't get your panties in a bunch.
@@peteoconnor6388 As someone born and raised in Texas, i understands the souths history, but people that keep Confederate shit alive arent southerners they are white supremacists. Many southerners are proud of their state, me being no exception. Texas was the first state in the US to allow court retrials where psudoscience, like lie dectectors, dental records, and the like were used to get a guilty verdict. The south isnt a collective of jackasses with tiki torches, the stupid still racist ones just happen to be the loudest.
well, I mean, ever since a certain tea party in December 1773 it's been my understanding that the British haven't been too fond of the idea of Americans pouring tea into cold water. But I mean it was also my understanding America going into civil war wasn't something the British historically viewed as major a deterrent to them lol.
Star Wars is ABSOLUTELY fantasy! NOT sci fi in the SLIGHTEST! Right on Simon!
Man, you are such a hipster. “I don’t like popular things” “I like this movie....you’ve probably never heard of it.” That being said this is a great channel.
in the USA yes there is caller ID on landlines. and have had caller ID since about the 1990s
Yes.
Certainly there's Caller ID in the UK. I had it for several years before I left over 3 years ago
In Australia caller ID was an optional extra for landlines, but it was always included for mobiles.
I have ONLY a landline telephone. The valley I live in is a dead zone for cell service, so there is very little reason to own one here.
I still mostly only communicate via the internet though. The phone is mostly there for emergencies.
Jason Bales good lord man where the hell do you live
@@D3FC0N96 his mom's basement.
Im an absolute legend according to Simon.
He has more faith in me then my mother.
I have a landlind, my grandparents have a landline, my cousins have a landline. Everyone has a landline Simon!
“Cough” making Donald trump president “cough” guys I think I have corona I keep coughing
I'm an OG legend 👌
Also, dance your cares away, worry's for another day, let the music play, down in Fraggle Rock.
👏👏
"Smash that Dislike button!"
Nah - we're cool!
"Fraggle Rock!? Neve heard of that!"
*Smashes Dislike button multiple times*
"where you can affirm I have legs"
....two years later Simon does all his videos, while sat down
I wish you had done the today I found out subject of the toilet paper situation for this channel. Please find a way to do it.
I believe the one of the last times Western Union was active was to send out Draft notices, or to grieving widows of those killed in combat. Bit before my time, but there was however a plot device in the "Back to the Future" trilogy were Doc Brown sent a message from the 1880s to Marty McFly in the 1980s.
As mentioned in the video, they kept their telegram service active until 2006. They had a very small number of very dedicated customers, mainly people who lived through one or both World Wars.
They're also quite active in the money transfer business - if you want to send money to someone who doesn't already have access to a shared bank account, they can get to anywhere in the world in the time it takes to process the form. It's their primary business model now.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I used to send money through Western Union. Lots of immigrants here use it to send money home. I would have them lined up on a Sunday morning to send some of their weeks pay to their family in central America.
Hey thats my favourite meditation rod too LMAO
Hard drives full of Bitcoins are like the modern day equivalent of pirate treasure.
I'm a complete legend in feel like an OG because I'm starting to get all of your jokes
Excellent. You legend.
I didn't, so I guess that makes me a raid shadow legend.
That's true
Never get rid of the beard
Kinda funny that he addressed it, because sometimes when on a TIFO binge, sometimes the old videos come up and...
Yeah, never get rid of the beard, Simon.
O.G. Business Blaze Legend here.. Love this channel.. Keep it up Simon, Danny, and Sam
I can't pay attention when Simon has me laughing.....like every two minutes.
