Useless trivia: that little moustache was popular at that time because it was a sign that you served on the front line in WWI. The gas masks wouldn't fit right if your moustache was larger than that, so they had to be trimmed to that size. So if you served (or wanted to look like you did), then you would keep your moustache trimmed to that size to show off that you had to wear a gas mask during the war.
i know i'm a year late replying, but wow, i always wondered about those silly moustaches of hitler and a few soldiers i saw in black and white pictures. to be fair, the majority of WW1 didn't have moustaches at all, judging from all the photographs i've seen over the years. clean shaven was norm. compared to say the crimean war, where beards and moustaches became the norm and were the sign of your crimean war service when you came back, so they kept the beards as a symbol of pride, and it became fashionable among the upper classes. hair was cut short however to ward off nits, from soldiers close proximity and less than ideal cleanliness. this edwardian look has had a big revival among hipsters right now, with their elaborately long but well styled beards and hair cuts especially short at the sides and back with extreme fades. oh a case in point, simon whistler's beard fits into that category. but no crimean war service. eabit pretentious simon... though when you are bald, the very best thing to do is to grow a long beard, makes you look really intellectual and undoes any attractiveness points deducted for baldness.
Errr, hate to ruin what would be an interesting fact but that’s factually incorrect. Gas masks were designed so moustaches of most sizes could be accommodated. The reason why those tiny moustaches were popular at that time would be because of one Mr Charlie Chaplin, who was popular at the time
@@shaunhumphreys6714 Actually in the beginning of the war mustaches were very commonplace. To the point that the British even made it mandatory and several other countries had it mandatory for their officers. It was felt at the time that a man with a bare face could not command respect. However gas masks and the difficulty of maintaining hygiene started to change that and even after the war trimmed or shaven fascial hair remained. But what you are saying about the upper classes is false. The trimmed moustance became more associated with the middle and lower class as it would be a while before it changed the upper class.
I’m glad Callum is in on the basement jokes and that Danny and Sam finally have a new friend down there. I’m sure after all this time they’ve run out of things to talk about 😂
I don't believe Callum is in the basement with them, as you see Simon turned to stage left not right, where all OGBBs know the stairs to the basement are. Obviously he has trapped Callum in the attic or maybe the "shop" next door
I’m not even a true crime buff, but I really enjoy Callum’s dark, dry wit and Simon’s tangents. I’ve now gone back and listened to all the previous ones and really look forward to new entries.
We need a casual criminalist bingo card. Fanatical/agressive religious upbringing, thinking they are smarter than the legal system, petty crime, expirementing on animals, writing down the crime, etc... Edit: corrected religious to Fanatical/agressive religious to clarify I only intended the extremes we often see in these cases
I'm not sure religious background would be appropriate. Maybe very strict religious background, but there are several church denominations are basically just music and reading the Bible. I doubt reading the Ten Commandments will turn someone into a murderer, especially since "Do not commit murder" is one of them. In fact, a lot of people have used religion to help them stop committing minor crimes or doing drugs.
When he said “corpus delicti” was his catchphrase, I just imagined Haige sprinkling it onto the end of his sentences like an Animal Crossing character. “I can’t wait to get out of this prison, corpus delicti.”
The first time I heard of the case, I had a similar thought (and I'm American). The fact that he learned it from a French criminal was equally surprising. He should have noticed that the Frenchman was caught - it's a dead give away how it was going to end.

Ah, The Casual Criminalist, otherwise known as "Callum and Jen help Simon insinuate what happens to other writers, memeologists and space heaters if they try to unionise".
Callum and Simon should swap roles for an episode. Simon writes the script and does the research and Callum gets to read and react. Honestly I just wanna know what Callum looks/sounds like but I think it'd be a fun idea for an episode.
I know I'm 2 years late to this comment, but he could call it "The Profesional Criminalist", make like 10-30 minute videos about the people he's done casual criminalists on, and just shit all over their every mistake in their crime. I'd watch it.
In college my friend and I were trying to preserve some mouse skeletons as a little project. We had a rather loud conversation in the supermarket about how we needed the "one with enzymes" to "dissolve the flesh" and "cover the smell" so "they" won't find out. It was rather fun realizing we were getting very odd looks.
Ya fun up till someone freaks out think your talking about humans and using rats as a cover word and calls the police on ya. There are ways to get those same odd looks but won't get you arrested I'm just saying!

Back, long before the internet was a source for things like this, I used to go to a barber shop (I know) you used to have quite the wait often but the barber had a massive bookshelves of magazines, I picked one up once and started to read about the acid bath murders, it affected me profoundly, thisstory made me shiver 35 years ago and did it again today thanks for that Simon
One of the most fascinating things about this episode is watching Simon discover the sheer rate of devaluation of currency since the Second World War lol. I love this man's candour
My parents lived on Gloucester Road when I was a baby. Can confirm it’s “Gloster”. Luckily, they (and baby me) lived in an attic flat and not a basement flat.
Considering how many things that can kill you it's very humane to lock someone in the basement to protect them. At least a lot of people apply that logic to cats so the only logical thing is that applies to humans too since humans are even more precious and worthy of protection.

When I was a kid, waxwork museums focused on horror were still a thing. I’m not sure there was an age restriction because I distinctly remember being under 13 when I went to some. Anyway, there was one in Scarborough, Yorkshire, UK that was very small and focused on famous murderers. I remember there were only 6 scenes and I only remember the scariest two, one of which was Haig, the Acid Bath murderer. I vaguely remember a man wearing an apron and a woman in a bath of green glowing liquid (such was acid back then). It really disturbed me. Funnily enough, the other disturbing scene was The Pit and The Pendulum. For years I thought Edgar Allen Poe was a famous murderer because the museum threw in a fictional scene for no apparent reason. They probably said it was a story but kid me no doubt failed to read that.
This is my first one of these videos and at first I was like "you clearly haven't ready this" to "man, the honest response to the script is a new level of great content".
22:14 My late uncle was killed using his own knife and the killer walked free with the defence of the knife belonging to my late uncle. When looking at the scenario around the incident he was jumped by a group of men over a girl and he pulled out his knife to defend himself which unfortunately fell out of his hand during the scuffle and one of the men in the group picked it up and stabbed him in the neck.
Oh yeah, one of the Jack the Ripper copycats. That ones definitely brutal. There's also the Trunk Murders in Brighton a bit before the war. I think he got away with it too, but could be wrong.
My son has the theroy that its actually Simon being kept in the basement forced to make many vids per week, and the dog that keeps peeing on his basement window is a guard dog, i laughed and laughed, poor Simon... Luv the Boy with the Blaze 👍🤣😜
this channel has helped me professionally! thank you! I no longer leave evidence just sitting around, gave up gambling and no longer tell my girlfriend(s) about my frauds.
This is definately worth listening to as a podcast. But it's definitely worth mentioning that the lighting and color grading of this video is on point. You kinda' need to watch this just for that!
22:10 Lol "I didn't kill them your honor, the gun I happened to be holding did it." So, that's not a good defense, lemme write that down. Wait, does that count as writing down my crimes?
They would use it against you. Say, "Why would you need to wrote that down unless you killed someone or were going to kill someone." It's better to just memorize it.
I have watched many of your episodes of Biograph on TH-cam and I really like them. This format, I like even better and the dark humor is fantastic. Whoever wrote the script for this episode is very skilled. I will be subscribing after the video ends.
Callum's a genius for directly engaging potentially the most rabid fanbase on youtube. There's no way a video with OGBB references won't have more likes and comments than one without said references. Writers and Editors of Simon's youtube empire take note; the Blaze is strong and those that channel it shall be rewarded.

@@ChristmasLore Admittedly, I used "French" generically to represent 'fine cuisine' but I couldn't think of any classic Latin dishes to reference. :)
My son has the theroy that its actually Simon being kept in the basement forced to make many vids per week, and the dog that keeps peeing on his basement window is a guard dog, i laughed and laughed, poor Simon...
Luv the Boy with the Blaze 👍🤣😜
Simon isn't keeping Callum and Danny et al. locked in his cellar. They're on the main floor, and they've got Simon locked in the attic.
this channel has helped me professionally! thank you! I no longer leave evidence just sitting around, gave up gambling and no longer tell my girlfriend(s) about my frauds.
Simon sprinkling in a little Blaze again, allegedly!

Somewhere on this planet, there's a guy named Sam whose resume says...
"Meme Sprinkler." Business Blaze. 2018-present.
There was an episode of The Blacklist" season 1 episode 4 - The Stewmaker (No. 161). They used this premise. A very erie episode, worth the watch.
The Blacklist is what happened to Alan Shore after Boston Legal ended...
We already knew he was a criminal since The Practice.

Yes, I was looking through the comments before I posted a duplicate. Well done sir!
Found a possibly new favorite channel. At least for a month or 2 while I binge stories of serial killers for some random reason
I wonder if Simon ever said "Jen is gonna add some fine vintage meme" during the intro.
He has on BB
He did on one of the very first episodes
Memeologist is a promotion from video editor.
This is definately worth listening to as a podcast. But it's definitely worth mentioning that the lighting and color grading of this video is on point. You kinda' need to watch this just for that!
“Well what did you invent?”
I can’t be the only one that thought -
“I invented Post Its.”
Your attitude makes the subject entertaining.
22:10 Lol "I didn't kill them your honor, the gun I happened to be holding did it." So, that's not a good defense, lemme write that down. Wait, does that count as writing down my crimes?
They would use it against you. Say, "Why would you need to wrote that down unless you killed someone or were going to kill someone." It's better to just memorize it.
I have watched many of your episodes of Biograph on TH-cam and I really like them. This format, I like even better and the dark humor is fantastic. Whoever wrote the script for this episode is very skilled. I will be subscribing after the video ends.
Your beard is so perfect it looks fake lol.
I love how you tell the stories with your own little cheeky comments peppered through them.
fun fact Acid baths don't work well for dissolving bodies. You need a strongly alkaline solution kept at around body temperature
Callum's a genius for directly engaging potentially the most rabid fanbase on youtube. There's no way a video with OGBB references won't have more likes and comments than one without said references. Writers and Editors of Simon's youtube empire take note; the Blaze is strong and those that channel it shall be rewarded.
Best voice EVER.Right when I think I’m relaxing and maybe possibly going to fall asleep you say something so funny 😂 I’ve never fallen asleep during one of your episodes.
Biggest shocker in this episode is that Simon actually loves a movie
I love your narrative, sense of humor and stories. Bless 🙌
Simon: "I've seen movies"
Me: *presses X to Doubt*
My favorite thing on TH-cam! Thank you for another great episode!
Perfect timing as I'm trying to sleep 😅
To answer the question about sulphuric acid, its just battery acid for 12v lead acid or drain cleaner. One is about double strength of the other.
No body, no crime... allegedly :P
the Casual criminalist gets more and more like business blaze every time I watch it..... I absolutely love it
Recommended topic: John Ausonius, aka Lasermannen (The laser man). A intersting mixture of pure blind luck, police incompetence and some good old bicycle chasing. Love your content!
Sounds interesting
Simon, I just have to say....You are the Best Storyteller....Thank you so much for making my workday even better!!!
We need a free Calum shirt to go with the free Danny free Sam shirts
Please share more like this! This was delightful to listen to while doing chores!
ACID BATHS!!!! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!! HIT IT FACT BOI!!!!!!! CUT A LINE AND LETS HEAR ABOUT THAT BEAUTIFUL FORBIDDEN STRAWBERRY MILSHAKE!!!!
This setup is brilliant. I came for Simon and stayed for the amazing writing. This combo is brilliant; I love this.
Guess this is where the band "Acid Bath" got their name, great video!
Thanks for the video Simon and friends
Loving this sweater Crim Boy™️..... I thought you were wearing a smoking jacket at first and was really behind how into this channel you’d gotten. Alas... Alas....
Common misconception. Don't have to be read your rights when you're being arrested, you have to be read your Miranda Rights when being questioned while in custody.
I grew up in the Plymouth brethren, was a lay minister and everything till I wised up and got kicked out.
Awesome episode, probably one of my favorites so far.
I'm just gonna pretend I told a really good basement joke and tell people it went viral. When they ask how to find it, I'm gonna tell them I erased it from the internet.
"Quiet Callum!" Oh my god, I died 🤣🤣🤣
"Kept their Dog as a Souvenir."
As in "pet" or a trophy on the Wall???
Well he probably gambled away any money to take care of the dog so I dunno
John Hi from WI.. USA You have never disappoint me.. Your videos (programs) get better and better. An this one is one of the best. I hope you are planning more of these. Thanks you did and do great work !
I would live to hear a Casual Criminalist take on Armin Meiwes
A Business Blaze episode would be far, far more entertaining
You and Bailey Sarian are the best for true crime stories in TH-cam.
Haigh, The Wests, and Christie are the ones I've been waiting for. One down
I'd prefer, if that's the word, Dennis Nilsen to the Wests.
@@garymaidman625 another great option. I've just always been interested in the weird (understatement of the century) nature of Fred and Rose's relationship, though it's a double edged sword considering the circumstances behind their crimes are probably the most disgusting and reprehensible of any killers
@@awzthemusicalreviews I find Fred and Rosemary West to be the British version of Ted Bundy. They just get rehashed way too much in my opinion. I'm kinda sick of their story.
Blink twice if you need help, Callum! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
