One of my favorite drill sargeant insults that I ever heard was, "Somewhere there is a tree producing the oxygen you breathe. You need to find it, and apologize to it."
That's freaking hilarious. I wonder if Bob Ross ever used that one before he was discharged. It would help explain the later obsession with happy little trees! 😂🎨 I love that guy, and imagining him as a drill sergeant is as weird as imagining a horse in a tutu.
The ransom note involved in the JonBenet Ramsey case demanded $118,000, which matched her father’s Christmas bonus that year, and was not an amount awarded as a prize for a child beauty pageant, as claimed in this video.
Any random employee, or even a support staff or another employee at a co-tenant business in the same office building could have picked up a petty grudge over that bonus for some random reason. Maybe they overheard him talking about it on the way out from being laid off or fired from a job, or it could be some petty envious colleague. Anything is possible. In my opinion it was someone in that family or in proximity to them who has a rage and impulse control disorder. Figure out who has rage issues and that's the killer.
Simon: Right now, someone's getting tortured in someone's basement. Corollary to the Whistler's Law of Don't Write Down Your Crime: Don't talk about your crime on a TH-cam channel with your face and/or name attached to it.
Danny was released at the end of the pandemic..you know..when they admitted fault, eased restrictions and stopped forcing third world countries to take a vaccine that was made with funding from the Americans tax money...
Simon, not sure if you caught your own brilliance in this one! When you said I'm not sinister with regard to being left-handed... Sinister is literally Latin for being on the left side
Edit to say you're absolutely correct Luke! In the eye department. Right eye is O.D. Oculus Dexter and left eye is O.S. Oculus Sinister. It's on your eyewear prescription to this very day.

My insane conspiracy theory: Simon wears a bald cap for every video to maintain offline anonymity. My evidence? ‘Simon Whistler’ is an anagram for ‘Limits Her Snow’ - a clear reference to his wife applying his bald cap for him, covering up his white hair 🤨
Simon is actually Bill Gates. He's putting on a British accent; however, he can't maintain it, so it sounds slightly South African. The sponsors are personally selected to help maintain this illusion - Surf Shark to hide his American location, Vessi because he lives in the American Northwest, Magic Spoon to hide his gluten intolerance (and hipster alter ego), and Square Space is a clever allusion to the Window's logo.
Whenever someone says beleive all women or beleive the victim my mind goes to the duke lacross case. I feel that things should be investigated but not taken immediately as fact because sadly lies occasionally happen.
I would like to know the stats on this. It would be very useful to quantify the actual chances of someone lying about this. It just smells like the whole Welfare Queen rightwing myth, when actually, welfare has the lowest rate of fraud, of any govt agency in the country, in the US
Like Mike Oldfield on Tubular Bells. About 17 minutes into the song he starts naming the instruments he's playing and does the same tune on all of them. Extremely talented!
Maybe one day she’ll decide to pick up an instrument that’s actually seen as cool in real life, until than, I suggest you start droppin’ the subtle hints ASAP!!
My college girlfriend could open any sheet music for piano, regardless of its complexity, and play it damn-near perfectly on the first try. It was BONKERS.
used to have a bandmate who could listen to a song once... listen to it a second time testing chords without strumming, and play it FREAKING PERFECTLY on the third time, every single time. It was bonkers.

The amount of the ransom was not based on any prize that John Benet had won in a beauty contest. It was the exact amount that the father had received as a year end bonus at his job. Child beauty contest generally do not pay a huge amount of money. Often the maximum is a couple $1000 and when you add in the expenses of entering your child and getting them to the contest you will lose money. It's just for bragging rights.
I love that The Casual Criminalist is just stuck in Simon’s soul! In the first few minutes he is talking about murders watching this show! 🤣 “most criminals don’t write down their crimes”
I don’t have children but two kittens who love paw patrol and watch it every day with wide eyes like they are amazed by the puppies and their adventures! It’s adorable! They also like SpongeBob !
I thought that Danny was running the mushroom farm in the basement and that is why we haven't heard from him for a while. Turns out Simon was feeling peckish.
As an adult without kids, I only recently learned it wasn’t “POPPA TROLL” 😳 as I was waiting to pay at a store when I noticed “aw a cop doggo… and a fireman pup… ohh.. oOoOooooooHhhhh!!!”

Simon, the British monarch is in fact elected, by the Parliament. It's just they're too lazy to actually do it, so they instead voted to make a law that automatically elects the late monarch's heir when the incumbent dies.
@@Ubique2927I believe they're referring to the Accession Council and the Act of Settlement 1701. It is, in practice, entirely ceremonial, as evidenced by the Act which makes succession automatic, but the selection by the Council is also used as an opportunity to announce the new ruler's regnal name.
@@Ubique2927 No. The various dynasties tried but never quite managed, and with the Glorious Revolution the power of the Parliament of electing and DEPOSING the monarch was confirmed.
@@Lastname_the_First I am referring to the fact the king of England was originally elected by the Witan and that of Scotland by a similar assembly, that the various dynasties never quite managed to make it hereditary, and that the Glorious Revolution confirmed for good the Parliament can elect or depose the king at will. The king can't even abdicate without an act of Parliament confirming it, as seen when Edward VIII abdicated to marry his lover but still needed Parliament to pass the His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936

My great grandpa died at 97 years old 3 months after his wife of 60 something years passed. Before she went, he was living in their house alone, driving himself to the hospice care center where she was staying due to failing health. He used a push mower to mow his own lawn and took care of the house himself. He smoked a pipe since he was a teenager also. Some people just live a long time, the queen isn't eating people.
You can never make me choose Simon! Between yourself and Matthew. He got me through my addiction and depression with his lighthearted videos. Yes, some of the “facts” you can take with a grain of salt. But I found them entertaining nonetheless, and I still look forward to 50 Amazing Facts every time. Just like I subscribe to every single one of your channels and get notified every time you release a video. You are both my heroes. But Matthew is Canadian and so am I. 🇨🇦
Left-handedness is waaay more common than people thought. For a long, long time, people who were left handed would have the left handedness beat out of them since left handed people were said to have the devil in them
4:10 - Mid roll ads 5:35 - Back to the video 5:55 - Chapter 1 - Katy perry is jonbenet 10:40 - Chapter 2 - Queen Elizabeth II was a cannibal 18:05 - Chapter 3 - The left handed conspiracy 21:35 - Chapter 4 - Christine blasey ford was hypnotised to speak out against brett kavanaugh
Pretty sure there is a spinoff show starring just Rubble. Less “cop stopping bad guys”, which is political fraught, for better or worse. (And tbh, I don’t want my kids being exposed to pro-police messaging. I don’t want anti-police messaging either…crime is a complicated enough issue that unless the person stopping it has magical powers and is under no real threat, I don’t want my 3 year old watching it)
It’s a cartoon dog dressed as a cop.he’s also the most popular character according to the kids at my daycare. You know, there is a such a thing as going too far Edit: cancelling COPS I understand. Being skeptical and wary of cops, again completely understandable. Begging to get rid of a cartoon animal for two year olds who’s dressed as a cop for no reason other than he’s dressed as a cop is so stupid in my opinion.
Man I didn't think it would spark a small debate on the subject lol I don't hate it, and upon watching it really doesn't seem all that much like it's the bad guy some folks are making it out to be, I guess what I'm saying is I get where they're coming from, I just think it's a little overblown
That's right, Simon. A lot of us cereal killers watch your channels for inspiration. I know for a fact that many a box of Magic Spoon has met its demise at your hands.
My uncle and cousin are both session musicians and can play a crazy number of instruments including ones you've never heard of like the kalimba and melodica. They also have their own bands, but ghost-playing on other people's tracks is most of their income.
Statistically speaking, you speak to about 1 murderer per week. This varies greatly on how many people you actually interact with, such as your job and social activities.
As for the Left Handed superiority, I hear someone start spouting that nonsense and I respond with, "you can't even use scissors!" I'm born right Handed and I can use scissors with my left hand, it's called self-taught ambidextrous, get on my level!
So you were ambidextrous leading right. True right handed/left handed can only really use their "off hand" as a hook. Me, I am ambidextrous leading left. Anything I was forced to learn "right handed" is poor. ( writing, I could pass as a doctor ), if I learnt left handed, I can transfer over to my right ( often better in my right hand ).
@alanhilder1883 I learned everything, due to an accident, I could lose the use of my right entirely and be fine right away. Knife skills, butt wiping, writing, it's all at the same level! I shock people swapped dexterity at will.
The left-handed one holds water. Just since 1981 Reagan, GW Bush, Clinton, and Obama have been left-handed. Let me remind you, Al Gore is left-handed. Had he won in 2000 (He should have won according to the numbers), we would have had 5 left-handed presidents in a row
Dave, as someone who grew up ambexeterious but tended to use my left hand MORE for things like typing (I HATE the "proper" keyboard hand position because of how wide my shoulders are and how busty I am. Things are just uncomfortable.) and sports (and yes, I'm also ambidesterous with my feet but tend to kick with my left and brace with my right for some reason) I feel that pain you were talking about. The schools I went to growing up were always short on ALL the scissors so I ended up using whatever was left at the end - none of them were comfortable to me anyway. I also am dyslexic, and because of that and my mixed hand/foot dominance, learning left from right has been a life long issue (for driving stuff I have to just say drivers side or passengers side when I'm giving directions to people because I will look at the arrow and know what it means but my brain can't translate it to a word direction.

Ha! 0:20 and already had me laughing. For anyone who’s somehow never see at least 2 of Simon’s videos, and/or is not a fan of heavy metal…the clip inserted was Mike Portnoy, one of the best drummers in metal since the 80s, and the fact he was wearing sunglasses in the clip and falling over while playing a toy drum set was the perfect clip to not so subtly hint that the script writer Dave, unbeknownst to Simon, in fact is a drummer…who happens to be blind lol I’m sure he would approve if he ever escapes from Simone basement
I played a gig once kit sharing with a left handed drummer who’s band were headlining. The sound guy honestly asked me if I’d mind playing left handed to save time! I told him where he could shove it obviously
Who do they think the Queen is, Elizabeth Bathory? Prince Andrew: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate. King Charles: What does that make us? Prince Andrew: Absolutely nothing!
Yup. My "uncle" is one of those people who can pick up any instrument and play it. As a struggling musician myself, I find it very frustrating that he has no interest in performing music. He's a white hat.
Your videos really are my favorite My internet was out for like a week and this was the first thing I wanted to put on while I was getting ready for work doesn't matter which channel you're on the content is always the right vibe for what I'm doing
Love how the biggest thing that drew question into the Brett Kavanaugh case is that there was record of her talking about it to a therapist but the notes didn't match what she was saying and also she wasn't in college at the time of the assault.
And none of the potential witnesses she claimed were there supported her claims. Even her friends said something to the effect of, "I believe her but don't remember any of it." It was pretty clearly a political smear job.
Eddie Van Halen was already famous when Michael Jackson was recording Beat It. Jackson contacted Eddie and said he wanted a kick ass guitar solo, but he thought only Eddie could do it the way he really wanted. Eddie offered to play as a session guitarist, as there wasn’t Van Halen levels of money in the Thriller budget (fairly experimental album at the time). MJ wanted to negotiate payment. “How much?” EVH responded, “A case of beer.” And that’s what happened.
I hate you right now Simon I had finally wiped that vile paw patrol song from my head, but the minute you started singing it it came back. I haven’t heard it in years. Noooooooooo
Thanks Lorelei not only can I not get the thought of what a drum made from human skin would sound like but not only that now I have to get parts of my dinner off my monitor after seeing the Prince Andrew sign.🤣🤣
@@TheVelvetSmogg Copyright and regional blocking. TH-cam is cracking down on "if this song isn't available in all regions, no." Way to stifle creators and musicians, TH-cam. Thanks

My aunt was like Dave’s friend Steve. She took music lessons, but didn’t know how to read music. She would just be able to play by ear. The teacher would show her how to do it and she could play it perfectly. She’d hear a song and be able to play it by ear. She only got in trouble when the teacher finally made her play it from the paper without demonstrating it first. She couldn’t do it.
"Yesterday's video" was not recorded directly before this video, nor does Simon watch his own content, and he's also said multiple times that he retains next to no knowledge of the scripts he's reading.

The ransom note involved in the JonBenet Ramsey case demanded $118,000, which matched her father’s Christmas bonus that year, and was not an amount awarded as a prize for a child beauty pageant, as claimed in this video.
Yeah, child beauty pageants are absolute money pits. Even the big winners don't come close to making back what they put into them.
It’s ironic I know he’s wrong because of his own video he did on Jean Benet 😂
Any random employee, or even a support staff or another employee at a co-tenant business in the same office building could have picked up a petty grudge over that bonus for some random reason. Maybe they overheard him talking about it on the way out from being laid off or fired from a job, or it could be some petty envious colleague. Anything is possible.

Simon's inability to realise Charlotte is 3rd in line to the throne and literally the king's Granddaughter, ever single time, is extraordinary.

I'll be honest, the more I learn about the basement, the more it sounds like a party.

A torture party? XD
“Statistically someone is getting tortured in a basement somewhere.”

Yes, some of the “facts” you can take with a grain of salt. But I found them entertaining nonetheless, and I still look forward to 50 Amazing Facts every time. Just like I subscribe to every single one of your channels and get notified every time you release a video. You are both my heroes. But Matthew is Canadian and so am I. 🇨🇦
Left-handedness is waaay more common than people thought. For a long, long time, people who were left handed would have the left handedness beat out of them since left handed people were said to have the devil in them
6:48 I’m pretty sure $118k was the amount of the dad’s Christmas bonus that year
4:10 - Mid roll ads
5:35 - Back to the video
5:55 - Chapter 1 - Katy perry is jonbenet

How dare they never pin you so I got to scroll to check I missed no chapters
My Grandma lived to be 100 yrs old. I'm 110% positive she never ate any people.
'God Save The King' and the US song, 'My Country Tis Of Thee' use the same score. 'Murica!😂
America loved our drinking song so much they used the tune for their anthem
The Meso song makes my day every time😂
I do so love seeing love for the Can-Can.
ugh
Rubble, on the double! 😂
Yeah man, Paw Patrol...
Pretty sure there is a spinoff show starring just Rubble.
Less “cop stopping bad guys”, which is political fraught, for better or worse. (And tbh, I don’t want my kids being exposed to pro-police messaging. I don’t want anti-police messaging either…crime is a complicated enough issue that unless the person stopping it has magical powers and is under no real threat, I don’t want my 3 year old watching it)
It’s a cartoon dog dressed as a cop.he’s also the most popular character according to the kids at my daycare. You know, there is a such a thing as going too far
Edit: cancelling COPS I understand. Being skeptical and wary of cops, again completely understandable. Begging to get rid of a cartoon animal for two year olds who’s dressed as a cop for no reason other than he’s dressed as a cop is so stupid in my opinion.
Man I didn't think it would spark a small debate on the subject lol
I don't hate it, and upon watching it really doesn't seem all that much like it's the bad guy some folks are making it out to be, I guess what I'm saying is I get where they're coming from, I just think it's a little overblown
That's right, Simon. A lot of us cereal killers watch your channels for inspiration. I know for a fact that many a box of Magic Spoon has met its demise at your hands.
My uncle and cousin are both session musicians and can play a crazy number of instruments including ones you've never heard of like the kalimba and melodica. They also have their own bands, but ghost-playing on other people's tracks is most of their income.
Nah..... I'm going with Ford couldn't remember when, couldn't remember where, couldn't remember how, but she remembers it happened. Got it. Next!
Statistically speaking, you speak to about 1 murderer per week. This varies greatly on how many people you actually interact with, such as your job and social activities.
Wait wait... is there beef between Santoro and Whistleboi?! I NEED THE TEA!
I’m also curious about this, I remember watching him years ago. I thought he just did list videos?
Just replying here in the hopes that somebody spills that tea and I can hear about it
@@harrisonbutchart9993 I think we’re living in hope mate 😅
Don't know who Santoro is but I read that as whistlebot
I request the tea factboi
Yes Simon.. I'm always.. watching.
"why are you the way that you are" I love these edits
Is that you Hillary?
As for the Left Handed superiority, I hear someone start spouting that nonsense and I respond with, "you can't even use scissors!" I'm born right Handed and I can use scissors with my left hand, it's called self-taught ambidextrous, get on my level!
So you were ambidextrous leading right. True right handed/left handed can only really use their "off hand" as a hook.
Me, I am ambidextrous leading left. Anything I was forced to learn "right handed" is poor. ( writing, I could pass as a doctor ), if I learnt left handed, I can transfer over to my right ( often better in my right hand ).
@alanhilder1883 I learned everything, due to an accident, I could lose the use of my right entirely and be fine right away. Knife skills, butt wiping, writing, it's all at the same level! I shock people swapped dexterity at will.
All Red Dwarf cutaways are amazing! We need more Red Dwarf
Nice Red Dwarf clip!
Someone mentions a JFK conspiracy, I think of that episode.
@@EveryFairyDies as you should
@@EveryFairyDiesme too
The left-handed one holds water. Just since 1981 Reagan, GW Bush, Clinton, and Obama have been left-handed. Let me remind you, Al Gore is left-handed. Had he won in 2000 (He should have won according to the numbers), we would have had 5 left-handed presidents in a row
He's onto me. I completely murdered a burrito earlier...
I murdered the toilet, AFTER a burrito...
Once again, Simon is telling us that he's being held prisoner in a basement, being forced to read these, to prop up GS and his minions.
Im pretty sure Simon would be able to master the ultimate instrument!
The Triangle!!!
My friend, whilst doing her preschool teacher training, was the only class member to fail the triangle. 😂
Dave, as someone who grew up ambexeterious but tended to use my left hand MORE for things like typing (I HATE the "proper" keyboard hand position because of how wide my shoulders are and how busty I am. Things are just uncomfortable.) and sports (and yes, I'm also ambidesterous with my feet but tend to kick with my left and brace with my right for some reason) I feel that pain you were talking about. The schools I went to growing up were always short on ALL the scissors so I ended up using whatever was left at the end - none of them were comfortable to me anyway. I also am dyslexic, and because of that and my mixed hand/foot dominance, learning left from right has been a life long issue (for driving stuff I have to just say drivers side or passengers side when I'm giving directions to people because I will look at the arrow and know what it means but my brain can't translate it to a word direction.
Simon with brand new opinions on conspiracy theories. Definitely believable
Waste of oxygen. Pre-use worm food. Converter of water to waste. Human place holder. Sadly, I can go on. My father had tons of them.
Please give the editor a raise! That was brilliant!
My nearly 3 year old is obsessed with Paw Patrol, he'd never seen it until his grandmother put it on one day, now every day he wants to watch it. 😭
I'm sorry Simon, but I now really like it when you cough during brain blazes lol
I love the editor!! They know all the best movie/cartoon/TV show/cult classics and it makes me happy! LMFAO
I enjoy Brain Blaze (previously Business Blaze, allegedly) video anyway - but Lorelei's editing is always the cherry on top for me!
Aw, thanks!
red dwarf is such a good series....up there with black adder...and faulty towers......tho now a days faulty towers is a bit problematic....very miso and xeno
15:30 🎶🎶🎶It's cold outside There's no kind of atmosphere. I'm all alone, More or less. Let me fly far away from here. Fun. Fun. Fun. In the Sun Sun Sun!!🎶🎶🎶
Fun story, God Save the King and My Country, 'Tis of Thee have the same melody. We stole your melody. God Bless America is also a stolen/repurposed melody.
Neither are our National Anthem. But I definitely learned all of them in early grade school.
The money asked for was the same amount as the father’s yearly bonus according to the Casual Criminalist episode.
Dammit Simon, stop making me laugh 🤣 I'm trying to glue on crystals and you keep making my hands move 🤣
A Brain Blaze/PIATS crossover? I'm here for it!
In GAM or will factboy star in Citation Needed? (The latter is more his cuppa tea)
Shit tits.
Lorelei, you are amazing! I keep looking for your editing in the Whistleverse. Thank you! Sidenote: at 3:00 is that really your face?
Aw, thanks! And yes, that is totally my face, I am absolutely that hot in real life and don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. I do not at all look like a sickly vampire in dire need of a vegetable.
The ransom wasn’t the same as a prize she won it was the same amount as the bonus her father just received from his job for Christmas
Ha! 0:20 and already had me laughing. For anyone who’s somehow never see at least 2 of Simon’s videos, and/or is not a fan of heavy metal…the clip inserted was Mike Portnoy, one of the best drummers in metal since the 80s, and the fact he was wearing sunglasses in the clip and falling over while playing a toy drum set was the perfect clip to not so subtly hint that the script writer Dave, unbeknownst to Simon, in fact is a drummer…who happens to be blind lol I’m sure he would approve if he ever escapes from Simone basement
Hell yeah to some Silverchair in the middle of this video.
I tried to use the actual Silverchair, but TH-cam blocked it. Very disappointed, I like a bit of Silverchair!
@@EveryFairyDiesoh?? It was sounded close enough I was quick enough that I didn't even peg that it was a cover.
@@Fr33dan It's a good cover, I agree.
I played a gig once kit sharing with a left handed drummer who’s band were headlining. The sound guy honestly asked me if I’d mind playing left handed to save time! I told him where he could shove it obviously
SMEEEEEEGGG
HEAAAAAAAAAAD
Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast
Lorelai, the Metal Goddess, thank you again for the Red Dwarf memes XD they bring me so much joy
Damn, Lorelei! Well done with the editing on this one. If I could put the Leo clapping GIF in the comments, I would 😂
Oh how I wish we could gif on TH-cam! But thank you!
Who do they think the Queen is, Elizabeth Bathory?
Prince Andrew: I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
King Charles: What does that make us?
Prince Andrew: Absolutely nothing!
Yup. My "uncle" is one of those people who can pick up any instrument and play it. As a struggling musician myself, I find it very frustrating that he has no interest in performing music. He's a white hat.
Your videos really are my favorite My internet was out for like a week and this was the first thing I wanted to put on while I was getting ready for work doesn't matter which channel you're on the content is always the right vibe for what I'm doing
Love how the biggest thing that drew question into the Brett Kavanaugh case is that there was record of her talking about it to a therapist but the notes didn't match what she was saying and also she wasn't in college at the time of the assault.
And none of the potential witnesses she claimed were there supported her claims. Even her friends said something to the effect of, "I believe her but don't remember any of it."
It was pretty clearly a political smear job.
Eddie Van Halen was already famous when Michael Jackson was recording Beat It. Jackson contacted Eddie and said he wanted a kick ass guitar solo, but he thought only Eddie could do it the way he really wanted.
Eddie offered to play as a session guitarist, as there wasn’t Van Halen levels of money in the Thriller budget (fairly experimental album at the time).
MJ wanted to negotiate payment. “How much?”
EVH responded, “A case of beer.”
And that’s what happened.
I hate you right now Simon I had finally wiped that vile paw patrol song from my head, but the minute you started singing it it came back. I haven’t heard it in years. Noooooooooo
Thanks Lorelei not only can I not get the thought of what a drum made from human skin would sound like but not only that now I have to get parts of my dinner off my monitor after seeing the Prince Andrew sign.🤣🤣
PAW PATROL is the sound of my nightmares. May Chicoletta become filet.
"MEOW, MEOW, I OBEY PURRRRRFECTLY"
😂😂😂😂
Simon smiling and clapping is my new wallpaper.
A Silverchair reference?! Respect!!!
Wanted to use the real Silverchair, but TH-cam said no. Boooooo TH-cam, I wanted to showcase Silverchair!
Was it a copyright thing?
@@TheVelvetSmogg Copyright and regional blocking. TH-cam is cracking down on "if this song isn't available in all regions, no." Way to stifle creators and musicians, TH-cam. Thanks
Awww that sucks. I still really like the reference, that album means a lot to me. Great work again, Lorelei, as always. Even if TH-cam won't let you do exactly what you envision. Keep being awesome! 😁😁😁
@@TheVelvetSmogg I know no other way to be! And it's a great album. You're awesome too!
My aunt was like Dave’s friend Steve. She took music lessons, but didn’t know how to read music. She would just be able to play by ear. The teacher would show her how to do it and she could play it perfectly. She’d hear a song and be able to play it by ear.
She only got in trouble when the teacher finally made her play it from the paper without demonstrating it first. She couldn’t do it.
As a Lefty myself I feel Daves frustration with all those right handed barbarians around us.
Don't they realize that ONLY left-handed people are in our right minds!
Now that I think about it, growing up in Texas, I've never had a Canadian playmate. I never would have thought the Queen was behind it.
Dave was a drummer it was mentioned in yesterday’s episode
"was" oh no! What happened inbetween writing the script and Simon recording it :p
Mike Portnoy specifically
"Yesterday's video" was not recorded directly before this video, nor does Simon watch his own content, and he's also said multiple times that he retains next to no knowledge of the scripts he's reading.
When i was a kid in the 70s, even TV news reffered to Prince Andrew as randy Andy
After a Brain Blaze vid I'm starving for some Leg of Peasant.
