I need to see Danny vs Kevin in some form of a Simon Break-Off where they write short scripts on topics to see who can either make Simon laugh or go on a tangent the most.
They do that almost every episode...🤣
It’d be so full of tangents Simon would force Sam to cut it all out 😢
@@mildlydazed9608 🤣 Serves him right for choosing to live in a basement...
@@Doodlebugdude I'm saying split script, single episode contest. Peak literary performance
@@mildlydazed9608 longer than a casual criminalist
You broke Simon, Danny. I'm so proud of you!
I still need that 'Simon's Bloopers' video. Especially from his more serious channels!
Simon’s Bloopers would either be a _very_ long vid or a channel in its own right.
This is something we need to see 😂😂😂
The opening is comedic gold. Thanks Sam
Yes!
I think I’ve almost watched every one of Simons videos across every channel. Almost… it’s taken two years but I’ve almost gotten all of Simons knowledge. I will transcend soon! YEEEESSSSS!!!
🎉
Sadly, you'll never reach true nirvana. Simon still has the North Korean Knowledge monopoly.
If for some reason you remember most of it, you'd be much better off than Simon, who's famously forgetful of what he reads.
To be fair Simon doesn't know all of Simon's knowledge so I wouldn't stress about it

Some predictions have been way the hell off, some have been so spot-on it's downright eerie.
The best example: E. M. Forster and his story, THE MACHINE STOPS. It's available in various e-reader formats, and its depiction of life in an interconnected yet isolated future can give you chills. It was published in 1909.
Science fiction does not actually try to predict the future, but sometimes....
I’m glad to see that when the basement boys conquered all his channels, Emperor Danny decided to let Simon keep Brain Blaze. That was nice of him.
Of topic but it is rare to see a fan of Rosario vampire in the wild, too bad the anime wasn't all that manga accurate
@@crimsonemperor2219 I think the anime is great (on my long list of favorites, in fact) too, at least if you treat it as a separate piece rather than expecting accuracy.

Fun fact abt UBI, pretty much all studies have shown that the only people who work less in the tested cities were students and new parents. Ngl being able to not worry about having money for like, rent and food, would go a long way to making people work with way less stress, js.
Also I feel like it's not right for students and young people to be forced to take less hours/a lower wage in order to study. I knew a person who worked at a KFC and had just left the care system, UBI would have been a godsend for him because his minimum wage was lower than that of the 25 year olds who still lived at home with parents and paid no rent
My concern is for the other end. When I was in the military, you could easily find the cheapest apartment in an area by looking up that zip codes BAH (Basic Allowance for Housing).
The government pays you $1128.64 every month for housing? Guess what the cheapest apartment is going to be. If you have a set price that everyone gets per month, every company is going to know exactly what you have and will set prices to get as much as possible.
If you're in an area where everything is relatively cheap, then prices will likely go up because "You make enough to pay for it."
It sounds good, but I don't think we've worked out how to actually make it function.
Yes, and some studies showed that people who received basic income were able to move into better jobs. Previously, they hadn't been able to take time off of work at their low-paying job to attend job interviews because their budget was too tight to miss even one shift. The UBI gave them the wiggle room they needed to be able to pursue something better.
@@Plaprad That's a good point and it's why need rent control, as well.
@@ComedorDelrico I'd argue that as well. Once you put a cap on it, then there is no reason to improve. Just set the price and max and sit back.
Without it, more places will see a benefit to adding things like new kitchens, playgrounds, security, etc...
With it, why add them? We can't charge anymore for it. just go with the minimum legally required and pay attention to what the government bumps it up too.
Funny you mention the double dishwasher- you can get one that's split into a top and bottom half, as separate drawers for exactly that intent. It's fantastic to use, both because you can load dirty dishes in one place without having to unload clean dishes in the other, and because smaller loads get done faster and its less cumbersome to put fewer clean ones away.
The rotation system sounds great, essentially how a kitchen works in a restaurant, dish washer (sometimes a person not necessarily a machine) cleans dishes as a clean one leaves their right hand a dirty plate is picked up with the left
@@curtisss When I was a dishwasher in the 1970’s one person rinsed and put the dishes on a tray and stuck it into a hot steaming dishwasher then another person picked up the hot steaming dishes and stack them up. There were trays for plates, bowls, flat wear, mugs, glasses, and odd shaped dishwear. I don’t know how they do it these days but I hope it’s more efficient. Oven trays and pots we had to scrub by hand!
I'm super interested in a split dishwasher for when mine eventually needs replaced. My mom's house had 2 dishwashers when she bought it. At first, she thought it was extravagant, but now she's addicted to it. My sister is jealous and tried to find a place to put it, but can't do it with her layout. Mom loves the rotation too. (tho she does still empty it into the cupboards) She bought a little magnet that says 'clean' on one side, 'dirty' on the other. It must be becoming more common in general because i'm seeing moore signs/magnets like that at stores, etc. Maybe Simon can set up his kitchen to easily allow for it later. Have a cabinet (and plumbing) the right size and more easily removed later when he convinces his wife to do it.
Thanks Sam for reminding me of how Nina is a talking dog now. I appreciate that
Don’t be too sad she’s not a talking dog anymore! Cause she’s dead!
I screamed no so I wouldn't hear what she said
Always too soon
I know he just had to make one of the saddest moments in Full Metal into a meme. I wanted to cry.
It's a terrible day for rain...
So, to answer Simon's question about the movie 2012. They named it that instead of something a bit further off for a very good reason. It was based on the doomsday prophecy from the mayian calarnder that said the world would end in 2012. So it had to take place then.
I’m surprised he didn’t know that, given he would be old enough to remember it. I was just graduating high school when the movie came out and the doomsday prophecy was a huge running joke. “Good thing we were class of ‘11 otherwise we’d still be in high school when the world ended!” (It wasn’t accurate but we thought it was hilarious anyway.)
I'm surprised more people haven't commented about it or that they didn't make fun of him in editing. That was like a world-wide thing that some people were actually freaking out over. Like I didn't think there were people in the english-speaking world that HADNT heard of it at the time.
@@kathykathan7794 I'm sure Simon has heard of it. In fact, I know he has made at least one video on one of his channels about the Mayan 2012 thing.
But as he often says, in his eyes, out his mouth, never stopping in his brain. That combined with just not connecting the things I think explains why he didn't realize it. I haven't seen the movie in a long time, but I don't think it specifically states in it that it is based on the Mayan calendar thing. It was just known by all as it was as you said, a pretty big cultural thing at the time.
Came here to say the same, I just watched it again recently, still rubbish 😀
I have a friend that has a double dishwasher. According to him it was cheaper than building cupboards for said dishes. Apparently, the system of clean dishes/dirty dishes works well. He freaking works for NASA with a side job of trying to figure out sustainable energy, so I guess what I’m saying is Simon is creeping into big brain territory.
What a relief. For the first minute of the video, I thought Simon had finally broken and needed a reboot.
Brave of Simon to predict how long he'll live on a video titled "Weird Predictions that were Horribly Wrong..."
A classic Danny original, thanks for reading FactBoi!
The double dishwasher idea is brilliant. I've planned on that for my dream kitchen for years.
As for the pneumatic tubes, I've also wanted some installed in my house. They're so fun to use.
Maybe when I win the lottery.
When I worked at the Boeing Factory in Everett years ago, they still have those pneumatic tubes all over.
We used to write goofy letters and send them out since no actually uses them anymore. Sometimes we would get letters back.
Good times.
My mum has a double draw dishwasher. It is awesome. I want one but my budget bargain dishwasher is working perfectly and I can’t justify replacing it.
Thanks, I've been retraumatized by FMA:B again
Came here for wacky stories about future predictions, left here with PTSD
DANNY IS ALIVE!!! Was getting worried but maybe Simon just misplaced the key to the blazement temporarily since it isn’t on his Ridge key holding thingie. I bet it was under Peter’s plant pot.
I think my favourite is Tom Watson’s 1950s prediction about computers that “one day there may be call for as many as five of these”.
Per household!
@@AvoidTheCadaver Yeah - two more words and he’d have nailed it!
I've lived in a house with a double dishwasher, and it's exactly as great as you'd think it'd be. It had originally been custom built by a family that kept Kosher, but we used it instead exactly as Simon described.
P.s. The kitchen hadn't been Kosher in over 2 decades by the time I was using it.
I actually do live in a steel house. Outer walls, inner walls, roof, ceiling, cabinets, and closets are all steel. It's called a Lustron house. They were meant to provide low cost houses for soldiers returning from WWII, but the company that designed them underestimated the cost and went bankrupt after only a few years.
I just had a look and it looks like its changed a lot since I went there 30 years ago but there was a pub in Marble Bar (Western Australia) called the Iron Bar or Iron Clad. I just googled and it looks like the Ironclad is what it was but the pictures show a very different place. I was only a teenager then and everything was made out of wrought iron. The tables, chairs, the bar had half 44 gallon or 205 litre drums cut in half full of ice and beer. Looks like it's changed a lot since then. Most of the Pilbara has been domesticated but back then it wasn't particularly inviting from memory. I remember the old man saying it was because the locals did so much damage to it, they had to make everything out of iron. which is completely believable. That said the photos may not show the public bar, it's common to have two or three classes of bar in that type of venue back then.
I need a Simon video on this company ASAP!
Simon: Adores Nickelback
Also Simon: hates the nickel book
1:05 - Chapter 1 - Strange alchemy
8:05 - Chapter 2 - Wrinkly humans with nothing to do
17:15 - Chapter 3 - Flying refrigerators & dead letters
For the next script Danny should just randomly switch between using the first name and last name of whoever the script is about just to confuse Simon even more LOL.
I love that ETA finally found a new shell and took over Biographics, Geographics, and TopTenz. He deserves success.
The surreal momment of Simon going on about Thomas and gold, discussing Edison's belief in alchemy and Vince McMahon fondling money repeatedly.
I love the idea of the double dishwasher. I'm only two dishwashers away from completion!
... and yes, Simon, I'm miserable.
The US life expectancy is now decreasing. We have the same as the 1950's. This is only true in the US. It's because of our terrible life of only working, & being unable to afford basics in life.
I haven't been to the doctor in over 8 years. No insurance. America sucks.
I really miss Simon introducing himself as the boy with the blaze
I have wanted a double dishwasher for 25 years. It's one luxury I want to catch on.
Sam the Legend. Thank you for that laugh, haven't had a proper belly laugh in a while.
Sam.... You crushed me the with fullmetal meme.... But you are clearly a man of taste and culture.
"Perfumed powered prams for kittens." 🤣
So no mention of the guy who wrote in a newspaper that the Internet was "Just a passing fad", & at a tech convention some years later announced "I will now eat my words" & literally took the newspaper clipping, put it into a blender with some water & drank it down?
For the shortening work week, it mostly depends what you do for a job. Most customer service or retail is "part time" at 40 hours a week so I hate to see what "full time" would be
Sams mickey and the beanstalk reference to the basement boys lunch was EPIC. Love this
Damn it, Sam, 200 years from now, it will STILL be too soon to bring up that FMA arc.
So, I guess nobody told you that duck wood is coiled.
According to the Aztec calendar, the age was supposed to change in 2012. Some catastrohists saw this as the world ending on 12/21/12, hence the movie.
It did end. We're all in pergatory.
Speak for yourself, I'm in hell.
This was a god damn W for Danny!
Good for you dude
I cannot explain my pleasure to see you exclaim - "Am I right Peter?!?"
Well it looks like Simon was channeling his inner Mitch McConnell
Glitch McConnell? I'm not sure who Mitch McConnell is.
Oh no, not Glitch McConnell! (⊙_◎)
UBI is a step in the direction of Earth from Star Trek, and I'm all in for that.
3:48 it’s so funny because there’s this old Twilight zone episode where in the 50s or 60s these thieves steal all this gold then hide away in this cave in these suspended animation pods so they can basically chill out for 100 years until all the heat has died down and nobody’s looking for them or the gold anymore. And of course they decide to do it in the middle of the desert, so by the time they find a road to civilization, the one surviving member is willing to give him all of his gold if they will just drive him into town, and he collapses from dehydration. And in the ridiculously outdated “futuristic car“ they’re sitting in, the guy turns to his wife and says “can you believe he actually thought that gold would be worth something? I mean now that we can just make gold whenever we want it’s worthless“
And I’m thinking OK just because you found a way to make a precious metal doesn’t mean it’s worthless. I mean haven’t we figured out how to make synthetic diamonds?
100% agree with the double dishwasher, brilliant!
Danny has clearly never watched the wonderful channel by our TH-cam overlord Simon Whistler known as Science Unbound
Danny finally ran out of money from the shirt sale and got captured my Simon again. Still I am happy to see him back.
I love the way people that have nothing to do with a subject, have the most power and change the laws to that subject too 💀💯👌🏻
18:58 - It reassures me, that I'm not the only one who had the double dishwasher idea... Most people called me nuts, whenever I explained it...
Now, if we can just get my buddies "poo poo chew" idea going. It's basically a garbage disposal for the toilet.
04:24
Im already scarred, why reminds us?
I agree. Sam's needs to be handcuffed a Little closer to the radiator in the basement andbe given smaller food rations for using that clip.
Ah yes brain (business) blaze
The only channel where you should be concerned if Simon *doesn't* have tangents
“Riding to hounds” is an arcane upper-crust (toff) name for hunting a fox to exhaustion with a pack of hounds and then watching the hounds tear the still alive, but now petrified, fox to shreds. Lovely.
My level of shock that we don’t have some kind of particle synthesis technology to shift subatomic particles into gold atoms to create gold yet makes me think I was dropped off from the future and given false memories and forced to adapt to this century 😂
(Orrrr I just grew up on Star Trek)
Yes! That double dishwasher IS a Big Brain 🧠 solution!
Everything made of steel is so Dwarf Fortress!
Congrats on 400k subs for business blaze , fact boi!
I have to say that I love the double dishwasher idea. It's absurd but very practical.
Episode got off to a strong start lmao
Great episode again
Sam...the "meanwhile in the basement!"...I died!
In the States, we have sort of an example of UBI with the money paid to some Native American tribes for their oil interests or casino income. If the person doesn't have an education or trade, with even a moderate payment for each enrolled tribal member in a family, it may make more sense to live off the money than work a minimum wage job, even if they are barely above the poverty level (some tribes make more than others). A guaranteed income doesn't mean people are sitting around thinking deep thoughts or creating art/music. For the most part, they are just sitting around and unfortunately for those tribes with casinos, members are at increased risk of gambling addiction, wasting what money they do receive. It's not a good situation.
Simon: "I'm in favour of UBI..."
Danny & Sam: "It would be a lot more than Simon is paying us right now. We might even be able to move out of the basement..."
Dang just crankin’ ‘em out today, Whistle Boi. 😊
DAMMIT!!! I already erased that traumatic scene from Full metal alchemist and now I can't sleep.
"Without any need for a job or money in the future, what will it even mean to be human?"....what a very sad, telling question, and yes, very American. Some people end up in skilled, fulfilling careers, but for the vast majority a job is just a necessary chore that enables us to DO all the things that make life worth living. Star Trek predicted a moneyless society and I haven't given up on it yet :P
10:05 Nice!! Danny: Well played, Sir; Well played. 😂
I have to say....I love the way British people pronounce the word "aluminum." So much cooler than the way we say it in the US.
A double dishwasher honestly sounds like an ADHD DREAM! It would be so helpful
0:29 So happy to hear that tune again
12:46 yeah, Simon won’t even get the desk that adjusts so you can pour a lot of the stand or even get that treadmill desk so you can walk while working, but he’s definitely making it to 133
That scene with Nina from FMA still disturbs me! Nice edit Sam/whomever!
Incredible work
Great vid! Predicting a Whistleverse takeover!🤪
Did Simon forget that they idea of the 2012 movie was the whole misinterpreting the Mayan calendar and making a movie off of it?
For someone who has so many channels, about so many topics, it's funny that you don't know about the Mayan calendar ending in 2012 and the main reason for the making/ title of the movie. Lol. Blissful ignorance is the main reason I watch your content. Epic!
UBI would be great for drug dealers and liquor stores. But Simon already said "where do we get the money" and that's the problem. Any money in the United States gets taxed multiple times and the feds/state goes after EVERY person they can lie about to demonize to deny the spending or claw the money back. If you get food stamps and catch a minor drug charge you can't benefit from tax payers money and you have to give money to the system plus you might have to pay previous benefits back and be labeled a criminal so a reasonably paying job is extremely hard to come by.
I don't want to hear Simon criticize Kevin for his long entros after all of this happened.
"Hello, everybody, and welcome back to an episode of blain braize... fuck it, we'll just go with it."
CONGRATS ON 400K!!! 🎉
35 hours?! I, a typical employee, by law, must work 40 hours per week, but in actuality I'm at work at least 42.5 hours per week because my lunch time doesn't count, so of I am at work at 8-30 (and I must be on time), I'm leaving at 17-00. OR LATER, but I'm not paid a penny for the overtime, I'm only fined for being late or leaving early, and it wouldn't matter if I overworked for an hour yesterday (doesn't count) when I'm leaving 30 min earlier today (a fine). (Unless I have a very, very decent boss)
And there is a Plan and Standard Norms (of time per unit of thousands of possible tasks) I must fulfill, and they are abso-damn-lutely unrealistic and almost (almost) completely irrelevant to real efficiency of my job, but they are a butter and bread of bureaucracy. It's a very sad, pathetic circus of a situation, when you have to dance through hoops to do at least some work that you, as a professional, find necessary...
Yeah, we Russians do not participate in trade unions. Legally we can, but in practice it's either a sham, or it doesn't exist and practically impossible to set up.
Looks like simon had to much snow before the start of this video
I'm disappointed that no one in the comments has explained the "ride da hounds" thing! I burst out laughing at that, it's so absurd
What about all of those weird climate extremist predictions? None of them came true and they said some whoppers!
We were all going to be dead in ten years, thirty years ago. At least they dropped global warming for climate change. Fact is, temperatures rise just before an ice age. More heat, air moisture, snow, sun reflected, brrr! Real science.
Sam's Full Metal Alchemist clips kill me every time 🤣
11:41 yes, and a different video, Whistler, you mentioned an article, where they basically figured out that, barring any other disease or malady, your body basically stops regenerating by 125. Because the video didn’t go into that much depth, it makes me wonder if that number would be altered at all had we not completely destroyed the ozone layer, and basically filled everything we have with pesticide pollution, Teflon…
You GOTTA get the writers to create a script outlining the operation, details, design and benefits (HUGE benefits) of a DOUBLE DISHWASHER HOUSEHOLD!!!
Is this a whole new channel?
Efficiency hacks 'the rich' use that wa all need. YES!
came for the vid but stayed for the tangent lmao
I am with you on the double dishwasher idea.
I'm 3 minutes in and I predict I will love this episode. Is it weird or have I just had too much of the happy powder from the Blazement?
Cocahinha?
@@AvoidTheCadaver👃🍬😅
Am I right Peter!! Still laugh even after how many years it's been
GOING to have your brain transferred to a machine, Simon? I submit that moment has already happened, and you're really Max Headroom 2.0.
If I ever have the money to redo my kitchen I’m definitely doing 2 dishwashers
8:53 that’s kind of like when Simon was making fun of everybody for having any fear of the whole Y2K bug, but that he actually read the script, and it turns out there were in fact, huge repercussions, we were just able to fix them in time. And even then there were still some problems like I think somebody woke up with over $1 million in the bank account only for it to get corrected within 24 hours.
12:29 no Simon, you’re not taking into account that this was a time when doctors were literally going on TV and telling everyone how safe cigarettes were, and we’re literally smoking in hospitals and on airplanes. It’s not these outlier under developed countries that just didn’t get the care they needed, it was people suddenly deciding that all of these chemically enhanced foods were somehow superior to anything organic. A buddy of mine who is in advertising and collects vintage packaging, has these old food boxes that say “better living through science!” And basically anything natural was for four people and hillbillies
5:57 Absolutely Perfect! Hahahahaha
You need a Dual Drawer Dishwasher 😃👍
Good videos, keep them up!
19:22 I literally laughed for a full two minutes just now, but actually, this is a brilliant idea
The double dishwasher (patent pending) is a genius idea Simon. Im 100% on board!
10:03 it’s at this point that I kind of want Danny to just constantly refer to Simmons as “Whistler“ for the rest of the script just to be a bit of a prat.
Him, Simon, since getting married, when was the last time you did dishes or laundry? Because you’ve already admitted you cannot recall the last time you did laundry and that’s one of the reasons you love Vessie shoes so much.
17:57 Spot on, Danny. Spot on!!
13:34-“I am.”
LEGEND!
Simon is struggling 😂😂😂
