I make blaze bingo cards in the first part of the video on what I thinks going to be mentioned. Lol thanks mum for loving Kirby knew pushing that "self propelled" thing around would one day pay off 😆
I find myself watching Business Blaze in reverse chronological order now for every video that references a inside joke for OG Business Blaze legends I'm not aware of. Now I watch as Simon's beard seemingly receeds and shortens over time.
normal simon: today, we will learn about this interesting thing that happened blaze boi: AYOOOOO! MEMES! :DDDDDDDD WHEEEEEEEEEEEE! ayo the *censor* how the fuck
The movie theater situation is actually worse than you stated. That 70% is likely an average over all films and all run times. I worked at a theater back in college and the way it worked back then was that the distribution company charged the theater a royalty of $X per ticket sold. Often this was reasonable, but when the first Batman movie came out (yeah, I'm old) they charged the theater $6.50 per ticket sold. At the time, evening adult tickets were $5.50 (and Senior Citizen, Children and Manatee prices were $3.50) So the theater lost money on each ticket sold. This was only for the first week or two (the longer the theater ran the film, the smaller the per-ticket royalty became ... for example when I started at the theater "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" had been running for close to a year and the royalty to the distributor was something like 20-30 cents per ticket). So the only way the theater made money at all was on the concession stand.
Okay, fine, you're old. Roger Rabbit was a frame of reference. But "first Batman" could also mean 1966, or 2005. And Yes, people can really be so "new" that they think 2005 was the first Batman film ever released.
I worked for National Amusements for 12 yrs. What I was told was that the it was a percentage of the ticket sales. The first week the theater got either nothing or somewhere around 10%. That percentage would, as you stated, get higher for the theater the longer it was shown. Most movies only lasted in theaters for about 3 or 4 wks, so at most the theater was getting about 40%.
Honestly, "corporate company" makes more sense because not all companies are corporations--for example, limited liability companies (aka LLCs) are not corporations--but all mysteries are by definition mysterious. So if anything "mysterious mystery" is not just "up there with" "corporate company,'" its BEYOND "corporate company."
Re kitchen discussion: True luxury these days is physical dials, switches and buttons. Companies are selling us the idea that the touch screen systems are the high end. But that's nonsense. Screens are cheap enough to be on children's toys now. It lets them have one electronics control board instead of dozens of durable physical components. Touch screen interfaces on cars are especially rubbish. I'd even say dangerous. You cant tell what you're touching without taking your eyes off the road.
True. Our oven stopped "baking". We called an appliance repairman who had us turn off the power to the stove, pull it away from the wall, and unscrew the back panel. Next, we took a photo on my phone to make sure where each wire started. Then we had to switch two specific wires, put everything back together, plug it back in and try the "baking" function again. It worked, so this told the man that our one unit was on the Fritz, as we has switched the "baking" wire with the "broiling" wire. Since it now worked, we knew what was wrong. The repairman could not fix it himself, as it was now an "electronic" problem, and he didn't do that kind of work. He did tell us about a place in Texas that did do these repairs. When we contacted them and told of what we had tried, they had us check the model and serial numbers so they could know what electronics card was installed. We did and, yes, it was on their list of "fixable" problems. We first had to ship it to them, with insurance and ship-back payment, plus the small item of the repair cost = $120 without all the other charges. We insured for the replacement cost of a new stove, as, if they broke it, or couldn't fix it after all, we would need to buy a new one anyway, and we didn't really have that kind of money laying around, as both of us are retired and on fixed income. Even the costs and shipping, (twice), and the insurance was a trial to our funds. It took eight days to come back, then we had to reinstall it, but it worked and hasn't caused any problems since. The big deal about this incident? Everything in the stove is run by this one card, even the damn clock. We couldn't cook anything, unless it was microwavable, for a full week. It was a big deal.
I used to clean houses to make $ to buy other people presents. Dirt Devils are horrid, Dysons really overrated, vintage 1950s Hoovers quite good, and sad to say very very very expensive Mieles best I've ever used. At my house? A relatively inexpensive (< $100US) cordless Onson model works well , is lightweight, & the head easily detaches to clean stairs and your car (if you're lucky enough to have a functional car) Ahem. No one is getting presents this year except for homemade snacks & cards :-)

Hey Danny! I used to work for Fender. How about doing a blaze about the time CBS bought Fender and the quality went down the tubes? I remember when our front office was held up and they thought the thieves wanted the payroll. What they came for was the 1965 Stratocaster in the display case.

As a poor unemployed young guy trying to do some work based NVQ training I ended up working for a Kirby seller. They were nasty types. Truly do the face to face hard sell stuff. They might spend hours badgering someone into taking on their retro cleaner. And then the section I was sent to was tasked with getting servicing done on those machines. They were supposedly pretty good hardware, but not 1k+ and then annual servicing as well. To top it all off I was let go from them before I could even finish the NVQ with 30 minutes warning before a bank holiday kicked in and was watched hard to make sure I did not steal anything. And while there I was getting paid something like 85GBP for a 5.5 day week with zero time for any breaks at all. All in all. Fuck Kirby vacuums.
My mom was scammed into buying a Kirby about 20 years ago for $1600. She made monthly payments on that thing for over 10 years, and when she passed away, her ex-husband got it. I agree. Fuck Kirby.

Shouldn't that be the 69th pre Hartnell doctor? (It's going to be centuries before we hit 69 the conventional way but the past season explicitly made an unknown number of pre-Hartnell incarnations canon.)
I don't need more shirts. I have to get rid of shirts I don't wear. Stickers I have plenty of real estate for. So if I like it, and I support the channel, I'm going to buy a G.D. STICKER, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY, SIMON!
Honestly Simon, it's not so bad to carry a backpack most places. I like to spend most of my free time (when I'm not writing, or playing music, anyway) in spots that bear at least some resemblance to nature, so planning ahead and finding some way to carry whatever I'll need is pretty important. There's usually some basic essentials, a thermos of water or tea if I'm planning to be out for more than a couple hours, and whatever book I might be reading in case I get forced to wait for someone. I'm planning to add a small first-aid kit sometime soon too -- makes more sense to have it there than in the car, if I'm walking long distances. It's a good habit to have, it pays off even when you're not actively trying to get away from civilization, and I've yet to get a single funny look for doing it. But I mean, I suspect you'll start doing it in a few years anyway, now that you have a kid. Not a parent myself, but most of those I know seem to do it eventually.
@@NateJ1 he could probably make a mint by creating a merch civil war. Create shirts that say "Don't Buy the Stickers" and stickers that say "Don't Buy the Shirts"...
I mean, I'm either gonna spend 40 bucks and buy a name brand hoodie for this winter, or I could buy a pyramid scheme one from here, so... Ask me about my scheme lol.
Maybe it's not a 'man bag', it's perhaps a 'man purse' (or, 'murse', as the allegedly kewl people used to say), or even a 'man satchel'. Simon will not be boxed in by The Man's labels! AM I RIGHT, PETER
And it's funny because the price of Lego has actually gone down since it was introduced. We just don't remember that as kids because we never saw the price tags.
@@matc87 All I can say is look at the data. Accounting for inflation and the "birthday present effect," Lego tends to be cheaper than it used to be. But if thinking prices are going up helps your friend sleep at night, then whatever.

Could you blaze about the incubator babies of coney island. I find the idea of premature babies written of by hospital being give a literally second chances at life by being made into an amusement park attrations Fascinating.
Around 100 years ago babies incubator cost far to much do a guy basically set them up for free, but the trade off is people could pay to see the babies.
I really think Simon should say in one of his video' how many stickers he's sold. It'd be either a point of pride, which is cool, or mocking people, which is half of Business Blaze anyway. On that note, kinda tempted to get a few, just because it's a meme now, right?
Maids are not that expensive though. It depends how often you hire them and how big your place is. I hired one to clean my apartment once a month about $60
How do you think he affords the maid? Its what Simon allways does lol, tells you to do something so people will do the opposite. He tells you to hit the dislike button, MORE PEOPLE LIKE THE VIDEO THEN EVER BEFORE. Tells you not to buy the overpriced stickers and i bet dozens sell. Maybe you can afford that Dyson now for the cleaning lady Simon..... ya know, if Danny's locked in the basement you might be able to get him to vacuum in exchange for a little sun light and vitamin D :)
The more you say "Don't buy the stickers" , the more people WILL BE buying the stickers. They're like little kids, with money! EDIT: I didn't buy any, since I don't have any money.
i have money..but i wont be buying any...i want danny to stay locked up in the basement with only water, cans of jellied eel, and a poop bucket allegedly
The stickers are the middle choice intended to make you buy the expensive stuff. He talked about this few episodes ago, and now he is all like "don't buy my stickers, buy the expensive stuff". I'm not falling for this! I'm buying the stickers! ha!!!
I would love it if you made a single super-serious buisiness video. That way, when my boss asks "Why does your shirt say 'blaze on', and I explain it's a reference to a business you tube channel.... I don't have to show him *this*.
Or maybe just the first 2 minute opening of the video Simon staring seriously into the camera listing like it's the stock exchange : " that's 220 pyramid shirts sold this week, and 60 pyramid stickers..." just to sound like an official BBC news report. hehehe
Having worked janitorial for about a year in college, I can say that spending a few hundred US dollars on a nicer industrial/professional vacuum is worth it for anyone with a bunch of carpet in their house. Those things I used were TANKS, and had a magnetic strip on them so they wouldn't suck in stuff like paper clips and staples that could damage them, and even when they did pick up bigger debris (like the one time I found a freaking lego in a vacuum used strictly in an office, wut) it barely hiccuped. From what my boss said, that vacuum that worked better than our brand new Hoover at home was already 5-6 years old, too. Someday, if I live in a house with carpeted floors again, I plan on investing in a battle tank vacuum that will last me two decades. I figure it will at least break even, and if I don't abuse it probably be less overall than cheap vacuums that break every few years or need to be replaced because you can't find the goddamn bags for them anymore.
industrial/commercial versions of just about any tool or appliance is always worth a look, even if used. consumer products can be pretty awful way too often.
Thought it was weird when we're only a minute of so in and Simon's like "thats enough talking, let's get on". Faith restored 10 minutes later and we still haven't actually started. BAU on The Blaze
Kirby vacuums do well because of the in home demonstration, they cleaned a room and now you feel obligated to purchase the expensive as vacuum with a lifetime warranty
Kirby and Rainbow really did make good products, lasted WAY longer than a lot of other brands' vacuums, but they did get a lot of mileage off their "home demonstration guilt sell" tactic. Also, when I was a kid they did that once in our house and my mom actually watched them demonstrate, and she noticed that they ran our vacuum over an area once or twice, then ran the Kirby over it like 20+ times much slower, so rather than buy their vacuum, she just started emulating their technique with her existing vacuum and got the same results. Galaxy brain
All of Dyson products fit the video description perfectly! Our cleaning lady didn't like our new Dyson, so we had to buy her a cheaper more classical vacuum instead. Couple years later and the more used cheap vacuum is in perfect condition, the Dyson has cracked plastic and hangs together with tape... Apparently Dyson was capable of making an expensive vacuum that 'sucked'...
The best is when houses are built with a huge vaccum that goes in the walls of every room. You could just grab some vaccum tube and clean a room in 2 min and all the stuff is in a huge trash can in the garage insrantly. I think it cost about 1200 if you do it while building your house. Cost a lot more if you have to install it after
I lived with my aunt & uncle in a townhome built in the 1980’s that had this feature. It had six half-levels, with only a couple of rooms per level, so it would’ve been a huge pain to drag a regular vacuum cleaner around in. No long hose required. Made sense there 🤷♀️
The US makes a much bigger deal about credit score than other countries. In advertisements, banks, rent, homeownership etc. Europe & other places outside the US doesn't have all the constant bs about it.
In German its quite important, you normally need it when renting an appartment, buying a house or financing anything. However, the score is calculated a lot differently. So , it doesn't really make a difference how many credit cards you have, they only want to know that you have a payment history without any defaults or missed payments.
Dysons are notorious at Home Depot for being returned. I love how he advertises that they use DIGITAL MOTORS as if step motors are something new and other companies haven't heard of them. They have been around for at least 50 years. Not used in vacuums because normal MOTORS adjust automatically to increases in power requirements. I use the Electrolux canister vac that my late Great Aunt bought in the 1950s. They still sell bags for it because so many are still working.
Henry the hoover, was £99 25 years ago. Still choochin'. Been down the stairs doing ana- cranial inversions a few times and some shifts in the wood shop. Last time I looked he is still £99. PS he chews up all kinds of fluff and Sh**--still smiling back at me.
On bottled water: people obviously buy it regularly on vacation where one doesn't have access to a water source or in locations where tap water is known not drinkable, of which there are many.
Yeah. I was on vacation in Venice during a ridiculous heat wave. Venice, being on a swamp, has plumbing problems. The ONLY drinkable water there is bottled water.
I agree with Simon: sometimes the more basic appliance is better. We had to buy a new coffee maker last Christmas and we had a choice between a programmable one and a simple one-switch model. The price difference was negligible, but I was wary of the fancy one. After speaking to the saleperson in charge of coffemakers, we found out that there were a lot of returns on the fancy one because the electronics failed after a few months, because it wasn't protected from the heating element.
@illuminOz This isn't war...or covid propaganda-it's fkn Business Blaze. If you want to spout your overly-aggressive rhetoric, that's fine, but you need to do two things; act instead of just shouting into the ether, and fuck off somewhere else-WE'RE TRYING TO BLAZE 💥
I work for Vodacom in South African as Tech Zone consultant and I had my Samsung Galaxy S8+ (second hand) for 5 years. People just came in every year to buy the newest Iphone or Galaxy and never used the phones for anything but texting. It blows my mind. I have the Oppo Reno 5 which I got from my brother and I'm happy with it. New release cycles for phones blows my mind.
I'm glad you covered that popcorn is actually how movie theaters stay in business. I realized this when I worked for a small, independent theatre, and now I don't feel bad overpaying for it, because it's delicious.

The movie theater situation is actually worse than you stated. That 70% is likely an average over all films and all run times.
I worked at a theater back in college and the way it worked back then was that the distribution company charged the theater a royalty of $X per ticket sold. Often this was reasonable, but when the first Batman movie came out (yeah, I'm old) they charged the theater $6.50 per ticket sold. At the time, evening adult tickets were $5.50 (and Senior Citizen, Children and Manatee prices were $3.50) So the theater lost money on each ticket sold. This was only for the first week or two (the longer the theater ran the film, the smaller the per-ticket royalty became ... for example when I started at the theater "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" had been running for close to a year and the royalty to the distributor was something like 20-30 cents per ticket).
So the only way the theater made money at all was on the concession stand.
Wow! Thanks for the info.
Huh. Fascinating!
Okay, fine, you're old. Roger Rabbit was a frame of reference. But "first Batman" could also mean 1966, or 2005. And Yes, people can really be so "new" that they think 2005 was the first Batman film ever released.
@@Somemighty well you're wrong, they're wrong, and that connotation makes no sense considering the date of who framed Roger rabbit
I worked for National Amusements for 12 yrs. What I was told was that the it was a percentage of the ticket sales. The first week the theater got either nothing or somewhere around 10%. That percentage would, as you stated, get higher for the theater the longer it was shown. Most movies only lasted in theaters for about 3 or 4 wks, so at most the theater was getting about 40%.
"Mysterious mystery" is right up there with "corporate company"
Lol, I was looking for this comment.

Shouldn't that be the 69th pre Hartnell doctor? (It's going to be centuries before we hit 69 the conventional way but the past season explicitly made an unknown number of pre-Hartnell incarnations canon.)
espeon200 he has too do that!!!
“Danny, did you live in crack house?”
I nearly spit out my coffee. LOL
Simon's working perfect reverse psychology. The more he tells me not to buy the stickers I want a sticker
MwahahahhahahahahahhHSAHAHHAHAAH
“Keep Calm and Blaze on” ...
Me currently smoking a blunt 🤣🤣🤣 ... off to buy Merch 🤣🔥💯
Ya know how some people sound unnatural like they're reading off a script when they're just taking normally? Yeah, Simon is the opposite of that.
T-shirt idea: "I bought the stickers"
I'd buy this shirt.....with the stickers
I don't need more shirts. I have to get rid of shirts I don't wear. Stickers I have plenty of real estate for. So if I like it, and I support the channel, I'm going to buy a G.D. STICKER, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY, SIMON!
In my head it was the "I like turtles" kids voice.
And then, start selling the stickers really overpriced and throw in the T shirt "for free"
Fantastic !!
“Do you live in a crack house?” Yes, he lives in your basement.
😂 burn!
Ummm... coke den....
Baduh bum bum tshhhhh
YASSS! Sick burn! Almost as good as Tom from MySpace (OG business blaze reference)
"[...] you can have a very similiar sucking experience for the 60$ model or the 860$ model"
Lol... Is this really about vacuum cleaners?
oh Danny.
This just proves that Danny himself IS the most interesting man in the world.

My husband walked in for that part, and asked me just WTF I was watching a review of
Honestly Simon, it's not so bad to carry a backpack most places.
I like to spend most of my free time (when I'm not writing, or playing music, anyway) in spots that bear at least some resemblance to nature, so planning ahead and finding some way to carry whatever I'll need is pretty important. There's usually some basic essentials, a thermos of water or tea if I'm planning to be out for more than a couple hours, and whatever book I might be reading in case I get forced to wait for someone. I'm planning to add a small first-aid kit sometime soon too -- makes more sense to have it there than in the car, if I'm walking long distances.
It's a good habit to have, it pays off even when you're not actively trying to get away from civilization, and I've yet to get a single funny look for doing it.
But I mean, I suspect you'll start doing it in a few years anyway, now that you have a kid. Not a parent myself, but most of those I know seem to do it eventually.
make a sticker that says "dont buy the stickers!"
Then simon will say, don’t buy my “don’t buy the stickers” stickers
The way he described the process, he would then also have "Don't Buy the Stickers" shirts...
That's great!!
@@joehemmann1156 That shirt belongs in meme heaven
@@NateJ1 he could probably make a mint by creating a merch civil war. Create shirts that say "Don't Buy the Stickers" and stickers that say "Don't Buy the Shirts"...
Read the title, thought "stickers", scrolled down comments, was not disappointed
I mean, I'm either gonna spend 40 bucks and buy a name brand hoodie for this winter, or I could buy a pyramid scheme one from here, so... Ask me about my scheme lol.
"I don't have a man bag"
Shows everyone his man bag.
Maybe it's not a 'man bag', it's perhaps a 'man purse' (or, 'murse', as the allegedly kewl people used to say), or even a 'man satchel'. Simon will not be boxed in by The Man's labels!
AM I RIGHT, PETER
"The most insanely overpriced products"
Me, a Lego collector: "I LIVE this shit"
more true every year. Not a month is passing by without a 300€+ model.
And it's funny because the price of Lego has actually gone down since it was introduced. We just don't remember that as kids because we never saw the price tags.
@@ScooterinAB really my mate has started investing in lego models cause it's going up in value
@@matc87 All I can say is look at the data. Accounting for inflation and the "birthday present effect," Lego tends to be cheaper than it used to be. But if thinking prices are going up helps your friend sleep at night, then whatever.
@@ScooterinAB ment up in value since release price date. yes that's not every model and no I wasn't factoring inflation. but it's always been expensive mate now..and back when I was young. was merely trying to share and interesting veiw
Could you blaze about the incubator babies of coney island. I find the idea of premature babies written of by hospital being give a literally second chances at life by being made into an amusement park attrations Fascinating.
What? Explain please.
@@YurinanAcquiline ua-cam.com/video/0dNQmW4CNy4/v-deo.html
Around 100 years ago babies incubator cost far to much do a guy basically set them up for free, but the trade off is people could pay to see the babies.
I'm a nicu nurse! Yes please do this. Some heartwarming stuff
Really great episode of the Sawbones podcast on that!
Famous last words...Simon: I refer to my wife as my cleaning lady lol
On the laser dirt sensor, yes that's a thing. My mother's vaccum used it to automatically adjust the power output to save a little power.
I really think Simon should say in one of his video' how many stickers he's sold. It'd be either a point of pride, which is cool, or mocking people, which is half of Business Blaze anyway.
On that note, kinda tempted to get a few, just because it's a meme now, right?
Joe Parker I had to buy one couldn’t resist donating to Simons #FerrariFund 😎
7:40 Simon: Dysons are expensive.
Me: Says the bloke who hired a maid.
Maids are not that expensive though. It depends how often you hire them and how big your place is. I hired one to clean my apartment once a month about $60
I kind of want to buy a sticker just to spite Simon and flex on the haters.
Same. Fuck it, I'm doing it.
That is his secret plan.
Yeah i feel ya lol xx
Thats it im buying one too. Fuck it. I love Capitalism
How do you think he affords the maid? Its what Simon allways does lol, tells you to do something so people will do the opposite. He tells you to hit the dislike button, MORE PEOPLE LIKE THE VIDEO THEN EVER BEFORE. Tells you not to buy the overpriced stickers and i bet dozens sell. Maybe you can afford that Dyson now for the cleaning lady Simon..... ya know, if Danny's locked in the basement you might be able to get him to vacuum in exchange for a little sun light and vitamin D :)
One channel covers cocaine, next covers weed. This is why I’m a loyal subscriber.
The more you say "Don't buy the stickers" , the more people WILL BE buying the stickers. They're like little kids, with money!
EDIT: I didn't buy any, since I don't have any money.
We all hope to one day be wealthy enough to purchase the stickers.
I, too, was wooed to the teespring shop. I no longer have any money.
@@bryanfrier you're Dani's hero
i have money..but i wont be buying any...i want danny to stay locked up in the basement with only water, cans of jellied eel, and a poop bucket

The stickers are the middle choice intended to make you buy the expensive stuff. He talked about this few episodes ago, and now he is all like "don't buy my stickers, buy the expensive stuff". I'm not falling for this! I'm buying the stickers! ha!!!
The whole "credit rating" thing is pretty much US only (at least not something used in Europe).
Note the white powder in Simon's beard when he comes back from "making a coffee"
Time stamp?
@@willbedford8381 22:42 Personally I don't see it.
“Big things that suck”
Danny, you mad lad.
Yep. Not to mention your similar sucking experience between a 60 pound model, and an 860 pound model
(10:02)
Big things that suck.....Simon's mum
Simon says he will give free money
Me: Finally I can afford a Simon Whistler sticker.
Can we get a t shirt that says "Danny's tunneling crew"
I've converted my girlfriend to "pond water," which is tap water, after she realized she couldn't tell the difference in a blind taste test.
Simon: "I'm a germaphobe"
Also Simon: *licks his finger before flipping the page*
Or is he just afraid of germans?
Its why he never looks up the pronunciations
Perhaps both?
I laughed so hard
Can you blame him?
@@carterbowman7762 yes and I will
Most insanely overpriced product must be Simon's stickers
Think of it as a 50-cents a day for a month so Danny can eat. Like Save the Children, except Danny is older than Simon.
Nope Simons merkins are, Manscaped took him to court allegedly...
Where can I find that 2500€ sweater?
We all know Danny is really talking about the basement. He gets a vacuum and a deep fryer down there 😂
Danny: *eats lemon curd sandwich*
Also he worked for fashion agents? He must have as many jobs as Simon!
@@jonathanpryzby4029 anything he can do online whilst being stuck in the basement 😂
I would love it if you made a single super-serious buisiness video. That way, when my boss asks "Why does your shirt say 'blaze on', and I explain it's a reference to a business you tube channel....
I don't have to show him *this*.
Yeah, one decoy vid to deflect the normies
Use one of the PR failure videos,
Or maybe just the first 2 minute opening of the video Simon staring seriously into the camera listing like it's the stock exchange : " that's 220 pyramid shirts sold this week, and 60 pyramid stickers..." just to sound like an official BBC news report. hehehe
I just ordered a lime green BLAZE on shirt for that exact reason, atta boy Simon! You absolute Legend!
"it wasn't a smart business decision.
OH! BUT IT WAS!"
another tagline is born

I love watching Simon on the other channels be professional and serious, then come to business blaze and see the real Simon.
Having worked janitorial for about a year in college, I can say that spending a few hundred US dollars on a nicer industrial/professional vacuum is worth it for anyone with a bunch of carpet in their house. Those things I used were TANKS, and had a magnetic strip on them so they wouldn't suck in stuff like paper clips and staples that could damage them, and even when they did pick up bigger debris (like the one time I found a freaking lego in a vacuum used strictly in an office, wut) it barely hiccuped. From what my boss said, that vacuum that worked better than our brand new Hoover at home was already 5-6 years old, too.
Someday, if I live in a house with carpeted floors again, I plan on investing in a battle tank vacuum that will last me two decades. I figure it will at least break even, and if I don't abuse it probably be less overall than cheap vacuums that break every few years or need to be replaced because you can't find the goddamn bags for them anymore.
industrial/commercial versions of just about any tool or appliance is always worth a look, even if used. consumer products can be pretty awful way too often.
Thought it was weird when we're only a minute of so in and Simon's like "thats enough talking, let's get on". Faith restored 10 minutes later and we still haven't actually started. BAU on The Blaze
Simon: "Lets not be ludites" Proceeds to be a ludite about his appliances
Luddites..... DD. Your welcome.
@@DrLesleyStevens You only know how to spell it because you googled it to find out its meaning.

Kirby vacuums do well because of the in home demonstration, they cleaned a room and now you feel obligated to purchase the expensive as vacuum with a lifetime warranty
Kirby was also the vacuum of choice for hotels and businesses.
Kirby and Rainbow really did make good products, lasted WAY longer than a lot of other brands' vacuums, but they did get a lot of mileage off their "home demonstration guilt sell" tactic. Also, when I was a kid they did that once in our house and my mom actually watched them demonstrate, and she noticed that they ran our vacuum over an area once or twice, then ran the Kirby over it like 20+ times much slower, so rather than buy their vacuum, she just started emulating their technique with her existing vacuum and got the same results. Galaxy brain
Mine is in the closet collecting dust! Bada-boom-boom-tschhhhh...
@TJ Anderson I have also inherited a Kirby vacuum. Works great for vacuuming and a good weight lifting workout.
Simon missed the OG call-out for 50 pound notes in the Prada section.
That’s the thing, there are so many og jokes, even Simon misses them (although I’m convinced the whole channel is the joke).
All of Dyson products fit the video description perfectly!
Our cleaning lady didn't like our new Dyson, so we had to buy her a cheaper more classical vacuum instead.
Couple years later and the more used cheap vacuum is in perfect condition, the Dyson has cracked plastic and hangs together with tape...
Apparently Dyson was capable of making an expensive vacuum that 'sucked'...
Tip for danny: despite how the theatre tries to present it, in the UK they cannot legally stop you bringing in your own snacks
And in the US it's technically private property, so they can kick you out for any reason they want.
The day that Simon fails in his upload schedule is the day that we'll know that the Chinese government has ALLEGEDLY killed him.
The best is when houses are built with a huge vaccum that goes in the walls of every room. You could just grab some vaccum tube and clean a room in 2 min and all the stuff is in a huge trash can in the garage insrantly. I think it cost about 1200 if you do it while building your house. Cost a lot more if you have to install it after
I lived with my aunt & uncle in a townhome built in the 1980’s that had this feature. It had six half-levels, with only a couple of rooms per level, so it would’ve been a huge pain to drag a regular vacuum cleaner around in. No long hose required. Made sense there 🤷♀️
Goosebump 801 it makes sense everywhere but just has to be made with the house. It’s such a nice feature!
The US makes a much bigger deal about credit score than other countries. In advertisements, banks, rent, homeownership etc. Europe & other places outside the US doesn't have all the constant bs about it.
In German its quite important, you normally need it when renting an appartment, buying a house or financing anything. However, the score is calculated a lot differently. So , it doesn't really make a difference how many credit cards you have, they only want to know that you have a payment history without any defaults or missed payments.
It's important in Australia just not thrown in your face as much EDIT: allegedly
You need a credit rating in the UK for a mortgage.
Dysons are notorious at Home Depot for being returned. I love how he advertises that they use DIGITAL MOTORS as if step motors are something new and other companies haven't heard of them. They have been around for at least 50 years. Not used in vacuums because normal MOTORS adjust automatically to increases in power requirements. I use the Electrolux canister vac that my late Great Aunt bought in the 1950s. They still sell bags for it because so many are still working.
Henry the hoover, was £99 25 years ago. Still choochin'. Been down the stairs doing ana- cranial inversions a few times and some shifts in the wood shop. Last time I looked he is still £99. PS he chews up all kinds of fluff and Sh**--still smiling back at me.
On bottled water: people obviously buy it regularly on vacation where one doesn't have access to a water source or in locations where tap water is known not drinkable, of which there are many.
Yeah. I was on vacation in Venice during a ridiculous heat wave. Venice, being on a swamp, has plumbing problems. The ONLY drinkable water there is bottled water.
I love how he looks over to where ETA should be when he says purchthemerch.co... Simon... just let him do his spiel! :)

Damn straight you've waffled on enough. Paaaaancakes all the way!
I agree with Simon: sometimes the more basic appliance is better. We had to buy a new coffee maker last Christmas and we had a choice between a programmable one and a simple one-switch model. The price difference was negligible, but I was wary of the fancy one. After speaking to the saleperson in charge of coffemakers, we found out that there were a lot of returns on the fancy one because the electronics failed after a few months, because it wasn't protected from the heating element.
I can see Danny chained to the radiator in the basement.
