look up what happens to magma after it cools and acquires magnetic properties of today now think about lookin into past ...and its been done and they see every 250k years poles flip but odd it hasnt in 750k years till recently as it shifts and its said we have 150 years till the flip all good right well those 250 k flip times had a 800-1K years of no magnetic field where est is 18 mill die of exposure a year if you want links and sources i can actually provide peer reviewed science btw not shithole bs conspiracies
Simon..."Well, I have some excellent writers and this seems fascinating, but let me see if I can step on all the perspective shifting revelations in a quick 30sec rant right at the beginning of the video!"
What you are saying IS NOT a bad take! I totally agree with you Simon about how most people act when they are being yelled at and kind of threatened IF they don’t 100% buy into a certain way of thinking, turns most people away! Personally, the more a person, a group of people or even say half of the media gets loud with me and are obviously trying to push me into their way of thinking, the more I want to do ANYTHING but what they’re preaching! You and I definitely have that in common! You should never bow down to those with bigger mouths than you. People who are only agreeing with something due to how it makes them FEEL and not based on what the actual FACTS are seem to be the people with the loudest voices! Most of the time they are spewing total BS and are lying to you the majority of the time! Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴
Wherein we watch Simon, the self-proclaimed “big brain, fact boy”, struggle and completely fail to remember what a plastic lid is called. I live for such moments.
@@Im-Not-a-Dog what if, and hear me out on this, you consume large amounts of semen and regularly eat raw beef and barely cooked steak? Asking for a friend of course.
The way we can detect the flip in magnetic poles is with oceanic basalt and other lavas. When the rock is molten the magnetic elements in it can move and rotate, aligning with the current magnetic field. When the lava solidifies it locks those magnetic elements into place. So by dating and comparing the patterns in the rock we can get an idea of the magnetic field at the time.
I remember my volcanology professor in college telling us that in the massive lava flows in India (I don’t remember their name) that took place over hundreds of years, the pole shift can be observed in individual events.
In one of the Gulag Archipelago books, Alexander Solzhenitsyn recounts how the prisoners dug up a woolly mammoth and before scientists could examine it, the prisoners ate it! Apparently it was an improvement on their regular rations.
Simon should make a satirical conspiracy theory channel where his writers come up with the most insane random conspiracies and present them as facts while delivering it in the onion style satire. It would be gold and sadly would probably be the biggest hit channel he’s ever made.
Simon needs an enemy who reproves everything he disproves. Its would be crazy and they have fights on twitter, and it would be like 90s wrestlers doing kayfabe
Fun Fact: The difference between True North and Magnetic North varies where you are in the world, and varies slightly over time. That is why you need to know the difference, called Magnetic Declination, and need to realign your compass before using it for navigaion. Unfun Fact: Forgetting to do this will end up with you in the middle of a field with a bunch of angry team members wondering why their knackered asses are not relaxing in the nice warm chalet, and contemplating if a sock full of Kendal Mint Cake is enough to bludgeon a man to death with.
Or, as in my case, a slight loss of solar panel efficiency... Fortunately, since I'm about 700+km (you convert it, I'm not wasting my time... Grow up Americans, go metric!) north of the Canada/US border near Kirkland Lake, Ontario, the difference isn't much. Wh5 do I live here? I grew up in Toronto, but I moved to an off-grid village. I live in the bush. There's almost 2 feet (thought I'd return the favour...) of snow and the bad logging road is unplowed. So it's either a 1.5 hour walk out on snowshoes or my snowmobile. I'm in my late 50s and moved here last summer. Most of my friends are planning to wind down to an easy retirement. Me? Fuck that, I sold most everything off, built a tiny house, and started homesteading! Act young or grow old!
Most impressive is how Danny still manages great scripts despite the shackles, gimp-suit and darkness. I guess it shows how good those Vessi shoes are.
I last used a compass last week. Very useful, actually. Even if you're not lost. If you have one, and so does a friend in the next town over, you can locate a forest fire in minutes with a map. Both of you take a bearing to the smoke from your house (a bearing being the compass direction to the thing you're looking at). On the map, you draw a line from each house at the bearing taken there, and where the lines meet is where the forest fire is. NO need to wait for the evening news to tell you if you need to pack out or not.
@Jerry-qj9xc using a compass and a map you can plot exactly how far it is, and if you take several measurements you can see if its coming your way. Seems elaborate sure, but it's not entirely as disconnected as you imply.
@@Jerry-qj9xc One bearing will only give you a single line of position. The second line of position allows you to triangulate the distance. Can you tell proximity from the amount of smoke? I would say not necessarily, because the travel of smoke depends on wind direction and terrain. More information is better. I think the map is most useful in determining potential exit routes.
Milo Rossi of the Miniminuteman channel has offered up what I believe to be the best explanation of the Rese map. He noted that the point closest to South America matches the coastline of Tiera Del Feugo, and that the other side of the land mass matches the northern coast of Australia. He also points out the section is more than three times the size of the actual continent of Antarctica, rotated almost 60 degrees, and says that it is very likely just an artist's interpretation that connects the southernmost explored lands at the time into a single continent.
I found Miniminuteman from a comment on one of Simon's videos and he's now one of my favorite TH-camrs (along with Simon, of course!). For anyone who is a fan of Simon and has any interest in ancient history or archeology, I think you'll dig the vibe over there. But finish watching this video first, because Simon needs that sweet, sweet watchtime, baby!
Simon, I like to repeat something said at the beginning of a Netflix special about the College Admissions scandal here in the US: Prestige originates from a French word for Illusion. All the prestigious schools offer an illusion of superiority. Just because someone went to Harvard doesn't make them smart. While I was working on my Ph.D., one of the ladies I worked with liked to cite studies from Harvard because she assumed the prestige of the school automatically translated into credibility. I like to systematically rip such studies apart to demonstrate they're not without flaws or perfect. Harvard is just a Brand Name everyone knows with a lot of money behind it... but that money goes into the endowment, NOT the research. Their research isn't any better than any other place. In fact, what matters more is the credibility of the individual authors and not the institution. I always say I've known some pretty stupid people with Ph.D.s. But unless someone is practicing law and they hold a degree from Harvard, They're not any more special than anyone else. Harvard is famous for their law school and that's their strength. Every thing else, not so much. People that go there have an illusion of greatness behind them, and that's it.
side note / tangent: the prestige is a fantastic movie, and most “prestigious” colleges are overrated you don’t have to be smart, but you do have to be rich
Sounds like you couldn't get in to Harvard and consider graduates of Harvard superior to yourself. Reading your bs isn't just a great way of accessing your limited intelligence, your bs is a perfect example of projection.
I love the upbeat melodic music when Simon is just sliding in a personal comment. It then just instantly changes back to mysterious with Danny's narration 😂
I thought about Simon's rant against paper straws (which I agree with) when I went out for my husband's birthday at a nice Italian restaurant and my blackberry Italian soda was served with a straw made out of PASTA. Not like a very long hollow spaghetti, it absolutely felt like plastic, a little transparent blue even, and had a more sturdy feel than a McDonald's straw (which somehow ALWAYS split on me, and then I'm sucking up air with my soda, I hate that). We need THAT with biodegradable cups, instead of plastic cups and paper straws. We didn't test to see if the pasta straw was edible (it certainly didn't seem like you could bite it without breaking a tooth) or just how long it would hold up, if it became a limp noodle after 8 hours... but at least it wasn't disintegration before I finished my soda.
Between ‘92 and ‘94, I often ate at an Italian restaurant in WV which used pasta tubes as straws. If you sat there gossiping long enough, you could start to gnaw away at the softened pasta. This was also the first place I ever had toasted / fried ravioli. Those guys were truly ahead of their time.
being sold waterproof shoes by the same guy who told me about the dangerous chemicals in apparel waterproofing treatments is just the kind of confusing feelings i'm use to in life. thank you.
To your point i think they address that in some of the ads that dymatex stuff they use is supposedly more environmentally friendly than most things, i think
I mean, the difference is Simon actually WEARS them. If he’s knowledgeable of the risks and still chooses to wear them, I think it’s safe to say they’re safe to wear. Dymatex is better for the environment as another reply said, so I imagine the shoes aren’t too bad for us either.
Simon, if you ever look at an Aviation Sectional (Aviation Map), you'll notice these maroon dashed lines coming down and they may be labeled, for example off the coast of Virginia, 12ºW. When navigating using your heading indicator based off of your compass, say you wanted to go a heading of 180. You'd ADD 180+12 (West is best (add the magnetic variation), East is least (subtract magnetic variation) and to go 180, you'd actually go with a heading of 192. Another thing too, you can never use an old sectional because every few years, the magnetic variation changes as the poles are switching. You could end up completely lost flying because you used an old sectional with old magnetic variations. When I first started flying, the magnetic variation off of Virginia was 10ºW
I wouldn't say you'd get lost from magnetic deviation alone as long as you plan properly with landmarks within sight of each other and/or use the few VORs we have left. On starter aircraft with the 6-pack, the heading indicator and compass are so inaccurate that a couple of degrees isn't going to throw you off anyway. Maybe it would matter if you are just navigating by dead reckoning, which is an extremely dated way to navigate.
@@DannySaltergo ahead......you are amazing!!! Every one of my favorite brain blaze videos has you as the writer....so strut around the Blazement and demand that Simon gives you extra desert! 😊😊😊 And if you want to get free, I will pay ransom money 😂😂😂
@@DannySalter Simon still can’t pronounce “lengthy”! Please hid it all over the place in your lovely, beautifully written, lengthy scripts. I suspect he can’t pronounce any words that end in “..thy”, but maybe it’s only words that rhyme with “lengthy”! I choke on my beer with sheer delight whenever he tries to say it.
13:35 plate tectonics doesn't dictate the weather. The Earth's tilt angle to the sun dictates where the "geographical" poles are located. During winter is when the relative pole is tilted away from the Sun.
“When I go to a fancy restaurant I want to eat something good not something weird” But also “yeah I’d eat wooly mammoth I want to eat all the weird animals” hahaha
Sports and higher ed in the US, answer is yes, that is how it works. Starts in High School perks like retaking tests until passed, tutors not available to any other students. Etc
I might have missed a comment on this, but Gerald Ford died in 2006. I believe Simon meant 99 year old, Jimmy Carter, whose wife Rosalynn's memorial service took place the day this video released. President Carter has been in hospice for the last 9 months.
Carter was a much more effective president than most folks give him credit. He managed the first energy crisis and did well at it. He would have been reelected had Regan not bribed the Iranians to postpone the release of the American hostages untill after the election. I remember it well . I was in graduate school at the time.
Fun thing, when AI makes stuff up or "lies" it's called a hallucination. EDIT: Also, it was published this summer (I saw it on the Smithsonian website) that humans pumped enough groundwater between 1993 and 2010 to shift the poles about 2.6 feet, or approximately 1 meter.
I heard something similar too. In fact, the Hoover Dam and the dam in China's Yellow River are said to have enough water force to affect the world's rotation, so some magnetic shift could also be in consideration.
I'm calling stories like this fluff journalism because I remember around ten years ago an article was blaming ice in Greenland for some shift in rotation.
28:00 the sleeping psychic. I remember something about this on coast to coast am with George Noray (misspelled that) but you should get Kevin or someone to look up the episodes of that show.

Is that how people get into elite colleges and universities in America? Yes Simon. Yes that's how it works. Second only to "are your parents rich and is this their alma mater?"
We have to change maps every couple decades to account for a wandering magnetic and true north because there's a slight difference but 16 years in the army and another 18 years growing up in the mountains has showed me topography is much more important than a general compass guide.
Yeah, topography doesn’t change nearly a fraction as much as magnetic/true north. I’m pretty sure if you look at topographical maps even 20 years back to today they haven’t changed that drastically unless some man-made feature changes it.
@@thejason755depends on where you are in earth. If the pole is moving toward you, it doesn’t change. If it’s moving across from your location it changes quite a bit and nautical charts get updated at least yearly for “deviation”
I always describe Woolworths to Americans as Walmart with ADHD. Books; spark plugs; candy; bike helmet; off brand makeup; Pringles.... And that's just aise 1!
49:39 i thought it was already happening? The poles ARE shifting and have been for a century…and its accelerating. From Wikipedia: “In 2007, the latest survey found the pole at 83°57′00″N 120°43′12″W. During the 20th century it moved 1,100 km (680 mi), and since 1970 its rate of motion has accelerated from 9 to 52 km (5.6 to 32.3 mi) per year”
I always start an Simon Whistler video knowing I am going to learn a lot while truly enjoying myself, and about three-quarter the way through I realize, I’ve forgotten almost every part of the video because his ‘intergections’ and ‘tangents’ are so entertaining that everything else just fades away in the ether….. then I have to start watching it all over again 😅
Agree, especially if I let myself get distracted by comments while watching an episode. A 20 minute video sometimes takes well over an hour to watch completely. Well… gotta go rewind a couple of minutes and get back on track 😅
Woolworth’s originated in the U.S. It was a department store, so just about everything could be bought there, although their merchandise was usually just the same as most other department stores like KMart, Target and Walmart.
I would suggest looking deeper into Edgar Casey. While he did have some wild predictions when it comes to world events, his work to help people with unknown illnesses is well documented.
4:57 TBF consider the worst kinds of planetary cataclysms and it would still be very unlikely that no humans would survive. We are everywhere, and we are fairly sturdy. Even nuclear armageddon wouldn't wipe out humanity entirely. Someones got the right genes to persist.
Supposedly Steen Mountain in Central Oregon has a volcanic layer that solidified over a 2 week period and captured a shift of the magnetic poles. That is a bit faster than several million years.
There is periodicity to the pole ( magnetic ) movement. The important part is what is driving the change, because the driving factors are mediated by charged particles in the form of " plasma " which can be fast moving ( as electricity is ) and yet extremely cold , Hence the " quick frozen wooly mammoth " the new electrical environment in a weak magnetic field can and / or does effect the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary that lies between Earth's cooler, rigid lithosphere and the warmer, ductile asthenosphere . Because there is much quarts mineral in the area which can trap an convert energy . See: pietzo electric effect an " uncoupling " will allow motion to occur.
You can tell this is a Danny script even if you didn't tell us. Loved this one. So many talking points to go on from it, can't pick one. So just awesome job.
no, he would have been moved & simple needs to start his take offs with the deer at the opposite end of the runway , right? lol because of the planetary rotation on its axis.
Simon, here in South Texas USA, McDonalds still gives out those wonderful plastic straws. The only place I have noticed giving out paper straws is at my local movie theater. We all know to pack plastic straws when going to the movies! The last time I went to the movie theater was to see "Oppenheimer" and the theater had plastic straws again! I do agree with you that these companies making paper straws should definitely start making paper lids and keeping the plastic straws!
An author called Clive Cussler wrote in one of his books about a cataclysmic polar shift. The title of the book is actually called Polar Shift. In the book they want to cause a polar shift by using a massive iceberg to move from the Antartic to the right point. One of the prior polar shift events was even mentioned in the book. An asteroid hitting the earth at about where the Hudson bay is located.
The explanation at the end is why the writers rock! Thank you Danny! That has been something that I’ve pondered off and on for years. Great job as always crew! Thank you!
@1:05:54 *The plastic thing that clips onto the top of a cup that the drinking straw goes through is known as a **_lid._* Note: having a hole to allow a straw to pass through is not necessary for a lid to be a lid. The thing that keeps the jam inside of a bottle of jam, that you remove in order to get the jam out, that's also known as a _lid._
Amazing work by Danny once again! You also did a pretty phenomenal job Mr. Whistler. I do think it'd be interesting for you to do a video on Atlantis, though, I think in the past four or five years there's been some interesting developments about possible flooding in the Saharan desert and that there's a few land masses there that match the description of Atlantis almost to a t. Why definitely think there's a good chance it might be a meet-up spot, it is interesting to think that there might have been an original city somewhere in a beautiful lush valley that was destroyed by saltwater flooding that didn't allow any plants to grow back and created a desert. Just saying I'd watch that video too.
It's almost 500 meters above sea level and has no evidence of long-term human habitation, just garbage from two thousand years of trade caravans that passed it by on their way to someplace where people actually lived.
Simon's first demonstration of ChatGPT+ in a video: Can barely contain his excitement. Four videos later: FFS ChatGPT, stop being a effing windbag, give me a one-word answer! 😂
20:17 Simon, how long do you think it takes food to digest? It’s not in your stomach very long. Haven’t you ever gotten sick but had nothing to regurgitate, so you had the dry heaves? I’d eaten the day before - probably not more than 12 hours.
Once people get over the fetishization of the pyramids being built by “aliens” and is getting over the bs about aliens. They will have to move to the next fear monger shit, and this or meteors racing to smack earth will do the trick.
Australian here. I did Outward Bound which is one of the items on the Duke of Edinburgh's awards. It was a 10 day hike through Wallaman Gorge in North Queensland starting from Wallaman Falls. Had to abseil down cliffs and ride down the river on air mattresses. In winter mind you. The second night we were there, after having done the high ropes course to practice for the abseiling, was the coldest night on record. It was like -1C. One of us got pneumonia and had to be carried out. We had to carry all our own food and everything. Had a great time.
Simon, I love your explanation of French pronunciation of words. When I took French in high school I was convinced that they just dropped the last syllable of every word
You probably forgot this, but in one of your other videos on another channel, you had mentioned compasses in ancient Asia (it might have been China?) pointed south, not north. If you were worried about Scouts not coming back from their camping trips, just give them both!
The thing I think happened to fully frozen wolly mammoth is probably that after eating, the beast just slipped and drowned in a pool hard enough for it to get out, so it just gave up. Wooly Mammoths were already pretty much living during that frozen period, any lake would have looked totally frozen, but would give way to that entire heft easily. It doesn't have to be a whoopsy daisy magnetic shifty to affect the globe in such a ridiculously drastic way as some "theories" would like to put it.
It goes beyond an isolated instance of a prehistoric animal being discovered with undigested and in some cases uneaten plants in their digestive system indicating the freeze happened fast. Furthermore, in many cases, especially as concerns natural gas, gold, and other similar geological treasures, drillers discovered fossilized remnants of tropical plants and animals in artic areas far from the warm tropics. There is ample evidence that the poles flip, and while its generally regarded as a long term event, magnetic excursions are a different in that regard, which is a shift of the poles and not a flip. It is an ugly truth, but our hold on this terra firma is tenous and for the most part, we are blissfully unaware as a civilization how easily it could all be undone. Does that mean people should freak out and be rediculous? No, but it doesn't mean we should simply close our eyes and ears to something because it sounds drastic and scary. At the very least it warrants extensive and transparent research. Much is learned in this modern iron world, but its entirely possible that we have collectively forgotten things that we simply can't afford to forget. Our dominion of the earth spans not even a single grain in the sands of time and we are inclined to think that all time and evolution of humans occurs in a linear form only, rarely considering the possibility that the past is the future and the future is the past in some ways. Some hypothesize that the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx are a type of clock for the ages, and the theory is far from unbelievable.
The plant life discovered was subtropical. New questions need better answers to explain these phenomenon. This past February the atmosphere experienced a profound change over New Hampshire and the temp dropped to insanely drastic levels. The sudden atmospheric extreme, during winter, created an extreme freeze.
Your french reading isn’t too terrible, some words I can make out but definitely could use a bit less raspiness 😂 it makes some of your french pronunciation a bit better but also make some words hard to decipher. Also having the editors write down the names on screen for native language readers makes it fun to see how you chose to read words.
The Hawaiian Islands are not moving toward Japan, formed by a hotspot, the Pacific plate moves over it, forming new shield volcanoes over time creating a chain. The Empress sea mounts, now below the surface, are the northern and older volcanic arc of the same hotspot. The trench in front of the Japanese islands is caused by the Pacific plate sub ducting under the Eurasian plate, dragging the plate north west.
Also, about Atlantis (I'll post it here since your atlantis video is kinda old at this point) I have a hypothesis for you. I think it's at least plausible that it's sort of a mixed bag of events revolving around the Minoans. The rising up of Athens against them could represent the mycenian absorption of the minoans, and the actual catastraphy could represent the eruption on Thera a few hundred years later. Other elements, like a strong naval and ground military fit the height of Minoan power, and the Minowans were rather fond of putting red ochre on pretty much every wall they could erect, which might account for the hew of Omilachrium (or whatever the correct spelling is). Also, sorry, I know you said you were done, lol, so feel free to ignore me :)
On the other hand, i heard my college's star basketball player had a GPA of 0.01 before the ciach left and he left with the coach. That was the summer before i started collrge.
Unfortunately (at least in the usa) a lot of schools heavily rely on athletes for money and accept them purely for their money and not for their actual ability to graduate. At my college, it was very well known by everyone that we had to put up with the athletes who were so overconfident, egotistical, and cocky so that we could fund stuff that was actually important. Mind you, our school didn't have a football team and hardly won anything sports-wise. The only athletes who weren't that rude and bratty were students who regretted not switching majors or only were doing sports to cover our gym general ed requirements since a single semester on a sports team covered half your gym credits. The majority of athletes (especially the men) were almost always struggling academically because they didn't care about anything other than sports, because they kept getting caught doing stupid stuff, or because they were so busy with their sports that they didn't do any schoolwork.
@@thederpypikachu9873 There was a trio of students on an athletics scholarship in my Logic class in college who absolutely hated me. Logic was supposed to be a "filler class" for them, an easy A that would fulfill some of their academic requirements. The class had weekly tests that were going to be graded on a curve, so that the highest scores would set the bar for "100" and everyone else would get their scores bumped up accordingly (ie, if the top score was 90, and I scored 70, then it became an 80 while the 90 became a 100). It was a rather ridiculous system... especially since I not only scored a 100 on every test, I also always got all four extra credit questions correct for an additional 20 points. So yeah, that threw a wrench into the whole "curve" system for the athletes :P They complained every...single...day... they tried to pressure me to drop the class... they tried to pressure the professor to kick me from the class... I tried to be diplomatic and offered to help tutor them, but they weren't interested in actually learning, just getting a good grade to meet their academic requirements. The college administrators stepped in after a few weeks and made the professor exclude me from the curve, including retroactive grades, which they were none too pleased with. But at least the athletes managed to scrape through with their D's. What a waste of an education :(
My aunt was made to fudge athletes' grades when she was a professor .... until she quit for that very reason. That said, the OP has a point about it being an unfair assumption of any/all sports scholarship students. It IS possible to play hard and work hard, and I've known several high school and college athletes who also got straight-A's. They're like gods to the administrators, because they're "two-fers" -bring in money AND bring up nationalized testing score averages for the school.
I got a pair of those shoes. The edging around the ankle hole is so hard and inflexible it basically cut a ring around each of my ankles from just one grocery store trip (which I had to leave before getting all the things on my list because the pain was so bad). I didn't want to mess with a return/refund hassle, so I just took scissors and cut a little 1-inch slash in the front of each hole. So now they're comfortable enough, but man I have never worn shoes so squeaky in my life. Just the lightest rub against the floor (any hard floor, doesn't matter what kind) makes an ultrasonic dolphinesque squeal. It makes me realize how little trouble it really was to just walk around the occasional water puddle. 🤣
I bought a set of vessi’s second hand over the summer: genuinely never had more comfortable shoes. The laces are purely ornamental so you really need to get the correct size for yourself. I’m a size nine, my vessi’s are size ten: so whatever size shoe you wear, go up one size for vessi’s and your good to go.
@@thejason755 I bought mine second hand too and automatically bought a size up because I have wide feet and these aren't offered in 'wides'. -The fit was never the problem; they fit me fine. But it sounds like you got a different model if you're talking about laces, because mine are slip-on. But really more like pry on with a crow bar, because of that tiny opening. And again, the squeaking is REALLY loud and annoying. I'm just saying I personally can't recommend them.
This is like a casual theoretical conversation between two people. Since it is a script and a response, it is more awkward than a casual theoretical conversation.
I do understand this, paleomagnetism and polar wander paths were a big focus of my university 20 years ago. You're on the right track, Simon... and yes, the big takeaway is that random people never consider the TIME scale involved in these geological processes. Seriously, we'd be better off tackling Greta and the activists' mission to spread alarmism and wake them up (pun intended) than wasting any time or emotion on geomagnetic reversals. Regardless of conditions on Earth, i think creating a whole generation of people with eco-anxiety and kids with existential dread about their future isn't good for anyone.
The day after tomorrow movie was supposed to be about a pole shift but got changed to be about global warming in edit because it was cooler than pole shifting
If there is a Polar Shift, before it happens I´m gonna buy millions of compasses and remake them. Everyone will need new ones when Polar Shift is done, I will be rich 😁
I think I'll copyright the name "The Great Pole Dance" and write a book. I'd sell tons of copies to people who think they are getting something entirely different. Bwa-hah-hah-hah!
I'm don't believe this shifting of the Earth's surface happens, but you didn't cover the main mechanism for it to happen. The theory is that an extreme electrical outburst from the sun overpowers the Earth and causes the normally solid connection between the crust and the mantle to electrically decouple. This allows the crust to freely move and in the matter of a day the heavy parts (the ice caps) move to the equator. BTW, magnetic excursions happen every 12,000 years and we are overdue. interesting point is that we've lost 30% of the Earth's magnetic strength in the last 100 years and recently it's rapidly accelerating. Also, the magnetic poles are physically moving faster now than they've ever moved in recorded history. Something is up.

look up what happens to magma after it cools
and acquires magnetic properties of today
now think about lookin into past ...and its been done and they see every 250k years poles flip
but odd it hasnt in 750k years till recently as it shifts
and its said we have 150 years till the flip
all good right
well those 250 k flip times had a 800-1K years of no magnetic field where est is 18 mill die of exposure a year

What you are saying IS NOT a bad take! I totally agree with you Simon about how most people act when they are being yelled at and kind of threatened IF they don’t 100% buy into a certain way of thinking, turns most people away! Personally, the more a person, a group of people or even say half of the media gets loud with me and are obviously trying to push me into their way of thinking, the more I want to do ANYTHING but what they’re preaching! You and I definitely have that in common! You should never bow down to those with bigger mouths than you. People who are only agreeing with something due to how it makes them FEEL and not based on what the actual FACTS are seem to be the people with the loudest voices! Most of the time they are spewing total BS and are lying to you the majority of the time!

The way we can detect the flip in magnetic poles is with oceanic basalt and other lavas. When the rock is molten the magnetic elements in it can move and rotate, aligning with the current magnetic field. When the lava solidifies it locks those magnetic elements into place. So by dating and comparing the patterns in the rock we can get an idea of the magnetic field at the time.
Magnetic material has been noted in old pottery, date stamping field activity.
I remember my volcanology professor in college telling us that in the massive lava flows in India (I don’t remember their name) that took place over hundreds of years, the pole shift can be observed in individual events.
They dont reverse. They shift. Every 12,000 years
@@kylealexander593what do you mean by shift? Just change locations a bit? Or do they flip?
@@LexxysLifeDownUnder-kr8sb My understanding is they will shift 90 degrees then 12,000 years later shift back.
In one of the Gulag Archipelago books, Alexander Solzhenitsyn recounts how the prisoners dug up a woolly mammoth and before scientists could examine it, the prisoners ate it! Apparently it was an improvement on their regular rations.
Sad!

there was a group of fellas a few years ago that tried some. can google it up. any way they said tasted awful.
Simon should make a satirical conspiracy theory channel where his writers come up with the most insane random conspiracies and present them as facts while delivering it in the onion style satire. It would be gold and sadly would probably be the biggest hit channel he’s ever made.
Simon needs an enemy who reproves everything he disproves. Its would be crazy and they have fights on twitter, and it would be like 90s wrestlers doing kayfabe

Fun Fact: The difference between True North and Magnetic North varies where you are in the world, and varies slightly over time. That is why you need to know the difference, called Magnetic Declination, and need to realign your compass before using it for navigaion.
Unfun Fact: Forgetting to do this will end up with you in the middle of a field with a bunch of angry team members wondering why their knackered asses are not relaxing in the nice warm chalet, and contemplating if a sock full of Kendal Mint Cake is enough to bludgeon a man to death with.
Or, as in my case, a slight loss of solar panel efficiency... Fortunately, since I'm about 700+km (you convert it, I'm not wasting my time... Grow up Americans, go metric!) north of the Canada/US border near Kirkland Lake, Ontario, the difference isn't much. Wh5 do I live here? I grew up in Toronto, but I moved to an off-grid village. I live in the bush. There's almost 2 feet (thought I'd return the favour...) of snow and the bad logging road is unplowed. So it's either a 1.5 hour walk out on snowshoes or my snowmobile. I'm in my late 50s and moved here last summer. Most of my friends are planning to wind down to an easy retirement. Me? Fuck that, I sold most everything off, built a tiny house, and started homesteading! Act young or grow old!

I last used a compass last week. Very useful, actually. Even if you're not lost. If you have one, and so does a friend in the next town over, you can locate a forest fire in minutes with a map. Both of you take a bearing to the smoke from your house (a bearing being the compass direction to the thing you're looking at). On the map, you draw a line from each house at the bearing taken there, and where the lines meet is where the forest fire is. NO need to wait for the evening news to tell you if you need to pack out or not.
You see the smoke, so you know there is a fire, no need to use a compass or look on a map, both of which have nothing to do with a fire.
@Jerry-qj9xc using a compass and a map you can plot exactly how far it is, and if you take several measurements you can see if its coming your way. Seems elaborate sure, but it's not entirely as disconnected as you imply.
@@Jerry-qj9xc One bearing will only give you a single line of position. The second line of position allows you to triangulate the distance. Can you tell proximity from the amount of smoke? I would say not necessarily, because the travel of smoke depends on wind direction and terrain.
More information is better.
I think the map is most useful in determining potential exit routes.

Coming soon from Simon: Encoding the Known! A podcast about taking well-explained things and building conspiracy theories out of them.
No, its Encoding the Know, Simon attempts to world earth history in French!
10/10. Would watch.
Milo Rossi of the Miniminuteman channel has offered up what I believe to be the best explanation of the Rese map. He noted that the point closest to South America matches the coastline of Tiera Del Feugo, and that the other side of the land mass matches the northern coast of Australia. He also points out the section is more than three times the size of the actual continent of Antarctica, rotated almost 60 degrees, and says that it is very likely just an artist's interpretation that connects the southernmost explored lands at the time into a single continent.
I found Miniminuteman from a comment on one of Simon's videos and he's now one of my favorite TH-camrs (along with Simon, of course!). For anyone who is a fan of Simon and has any interest in ancient history or archeology, I think you'll dig the vibe over there. But finish watching this video first, because Simon needs that sweet, sweet watchtime, baby!

Simon, I like to repeat something said at the beginning of a Netflix special about the College Admissions scandal here in the US: Prestige originates from a French word for Illusion. All the prestigious schools offer an illusion of superiority. Just because someone went to Harvard doesn't make them smart. While I was working on my Ph.D., one of the ladies I worked with liked to cite studies from Harvard because she assumed the prestige of the school automatically translated into credibility. I like to systematically rip such studies apart to demonstrate they're not without flaws or perfect. Harvard is just a Brand Name everyone knows with a lot of money behind it... but that money goes into the endowment, NOT the research. Their research isn't any better than any other place. In fact, what matters more is the credibility of the individual authors and not the institution. I always say I've known some pretty stupid people with Ph.D.s. But unless someone is practicing law and they hold a degree from Harvard, They're not any more special than anyone else. Harvard is famous for their law school and that's their strength. Every thing else, not so much. People that go there have an illusion of greatness behind them, and that's it.
I think more people need to hear this. Would be an eye opening revelation to so many.
If there's ANYTHING these past few months have shown. It's that the ivy league and most colleges are failing big time at teaching actual facts.
side note / tangent: the prestige is a fantastic movie, and most “prestigious” colleges are overrated
you don’t have to be smart, but you do have to be rich
Their rowing team is pretty good, too. 😂
Sounds like you couldn't get in to Harvard and consider graduates of Harvard superior to yourself.
Reading your bs isn't just a great way of accessing your limited intelligence, your bs is a perfect example of projection.
I love the upbeat melodic music when Simon is just sliding in a personal comment. It then just instantly changes back to mysterious with Danny's narration 😂
I described the bgm in this show as “sarcastically mysterious”. I feel it fits tbh.
I thought about Simon's rant against paper straws (which I agree with) when I went out for my husband's birthday at a nice Italian restaurant and my blackberry Italian soda was served with a straw made out of PASTA. Not like a very long hollow spaghetti, it absolutely felt like plastic, a little transparent blue even, and had a more sturdy feel than a McDonald's straw (which somehow ALWAYS split on me, and then I'm sucking up air with my soda, I hate that). We need THAT with biodegradable cups, instead of plastic cups and paper straws. We didn't test to see if the pasta straw was edible (it certainly didn't seem like you could bite it without breaking a tooth) or just how long it would hold up, if it became a limp noodle after 8 hours... but at least it wasn't disintegration before I finished my soda.
+
Or just get a titanium straw set. Have one in the car and one at home. Biocompatible, lasts forever, zero waste.
Between ‘92 and ‘94, I often ate at an Italian restaurant in WV which used pasta tubes as straws. If you sat there gossiping long enough, you could start to gnaw away at the softened pasta. This was also the first place I ever had toasted / fried ravioli. Those guys were truly ahead of their time.
being sold waterproof shoes by the same guy who told me about the dangerous chemicals in apparel waterproofing treatments is just the kind of confusing feelings i'm use to in life. thank you.
To quote him: "I want money 🤑!"

It's why he's bald.
To your point i think they address that in some of the ads that dymatex stuff they use is supposedly more environmentally friendly than most things, i think
I mean, the difference is Simon actually WEARS them. If he’s knowledgeable of the risks and still chooses to wear them, I think it’s safe to say they’re safe to wear. Dymatex is better for the environment as another reply said, so I imagine the shoes aren’t too bad for us either.
The duty of socks.
Simon, if you ever look at an Aviation Sectional (Aviation Map), you'll notice these maroon dashed lines coming down and they may be labeled, for example off the coast of Virginia, 12ºW. When navigating using your heading indicator based off of your compass, say you wanted to go a heading of 180. You'd ADD 180+12 (West is best (add the magnetic variation), East is least (subtract magnetic variation) and to go 180, you'd actually go with a heading of 192. Another thing too, you can never use an old sectional because every few years, the magnetic variation changes as the poles are switching. You could end up completely lost flying because you used an old sectional with old magnetic variations. When I first started flying, the magnetic variation off of Virginia was 10ºW
I wouldn't say you'd get lost from magnetic deviation alone as long as you plan properly with landmarks within sight of each other and/or use the few VORs we have left. On starter aircraft with the 6-pack, the heading indicator and compass are so inaccurate that a couple of degrees isn't going to throw you off anyway. Maybe it would matter if you are just navigating by dead reckoning, which is an extremely dated way to navigate.

Posted 10 minutes ago? Woah! So excited for another video! I listen to you during my long shifts at work!!
I might have missed a comment on this, but Gerald Ford died in 2006. I believe Simon meant 99 year old, Jimmy Carter, whose wife Rosalynn's memorial service took place the day this video released. President Carter has been in hospice for the last 9 months.
Carter was a much more effective president than most folks give him credit.
He managed the first energy
crisis and did well at it.
He would have been reelected had Regan not
bribed the Iranians to postpone the release of the
American hostages untill
after the election.
I remember it well . I was in graduate school at the time.
Update: One year later, Jimmy Carter is still in hospice care at the age of 100.
UPDATE update, Jimmy Carter passed away December 29th 2024, Rest In Peace Mr. President.
Fun thing, when AI makes stuff up or "lies" it's called a hallucination.
EDIT: Also, it was published this summer (I saw it on the Smithsonian website) that humans pumped enough groundwater between 1993 and 2010 to shift the poles about 2.6 feet, or approximately 1 meter.
I love that.
I heard something similar too. In fact, the Hoover Dam and the dam in China's Yellow River are said to have enough water force to affect the world's rotation, so some magnetic shift could also be in consideration.
I'm calling stories like this fluff journalism because I remember around ten years ago an article was blaming ice in Greenland for some shift in rotation.

Is that how people get into elite colleges and universities in America? Yes Simon. Yes that's how it works. Second only to "are your parents rich and is this their alma mater?"
We have to change maps every couple decades to account for a wandering magnetic and true north because there's a slight difference but 16 years in the army and another 18 years growing up in the mountains has showed me topography is much more important than a general compass guide.
Yeah, topography doesn’t change nearly a fraction as much as magnetic/true north. I’m pretty sure if you look at topographical maps even 20 years back to today they haven’t changed that drastically unless some man-made feature changes it.
@@thejason755depends on where you are in earth. If the pole is moving toward you, it doesn’t change. If it’s moving across from your location it changes quite a bit and nautical charts get updated at least yearly for “deviation”
I always describe Woolworths to Americans as Walmart with ADHD.

49:39 i thought it was already happening? The poles ARE shifting and have been for a century…and its accelerating.
From Wikipedia: “In 2007, the latest survey found the pole at 83°57′00″N 120°43′12″W. During the 20th century it moved 1,100 km (680 mi), and since 1970 its rate of motion has accelerated from 9 to 52 km (5.6 to 32.3 mi) per year”

You Sir, are 100% correct.
Woolworth’s originated in the U.S. It was a department store, so just about everything could be bought there, although their merchandise was usually just the same as most other department stores like KMart, Target and Walmart.

Supposedly Steen Mountain in Central Oregon has a volcanic layer that solidified over a 2 week period and captured a shift of the magnetic poles. That is a bit faster than several million years.
There is periodicity to the pole ( magnetic ) movement. The important part is what is driving the change, because the driving factors are mediated by charged particles in the form of " plasma " which can be fast moving ( as electricity is ) and yet extremely cold , Hence the " quick frozen wooly mammoth " the new electrical environment in a weak magnetic field can and / or does effect the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary that lies between Earth's cooler, rigid lithosphere and the warmer, ductile asthenosphere . Because there is much quarts mineral in the area which can trap an convert energy . See: pietzo electric effect an " uncoupling " will allow motion to occur.

Your assessment of Harvard is way more on point than you'd think.
Once heard student body described as progeny of dictators and oligarchs, legacies and a handful of overachievers. Still murica afterall.
An author called Clive Cussler wrote in one of his books about a cataclysmic polar shift. The title of the book is actually called Polar Shift. In the book they want to cause a polar shift by using a massive iceberg to move from the Antartic to the right point. One of the prior polar shift events was even mentioned in the book. An asteroid hitting the earth at about where the Hudson bay is located.
Cussler books are awesome.

Amazing work by Danny once again! You also did a pretty phenomenal job Mr. Whistler. I do think it'd be interesting for you to do a video on Atlantis, though, I think in the past four or five years there's been some interesting developments about possible flooding in the Saharan desert and that there's a few land masses there that match the description of Atlantis almost to a t. Why definitely think there's a good chance it might be a meet-up spot, it is interesting to think that there might have been an original city somewhere in a beautiful lush valley that was destroyed by saltwater flooding that didn't allow any plants to grow back and created a desert. Just saying I'd watch that video too.

Australian here. I did Outward Bound which is one of the items on the Duke of Edinburgh's awards. It was a 10 day hike through Wallaman Gorge in North Queensland starting from Wallaman Falls. Had to abseil down cliffs and ride down the river on air mattresses. In winter mind you. The second night we were there, after having done the high ropes course to practice for the abseiling, was the coldest night on record. It was like -1C. One of us got pneumonia and had to be carried out. We had to carry all our own food and everything.

You forgot, that's where they make compasses...
The thing I think happened to fully frozen wolly mammoth is probably that after eating, the beast just slipped and drowned in a pool hard enough for it to get out, so it just gave up. Wooly Mammoths were already pretty much living during that frozen period, any lake would have looked totally frozen, but would give way to that entire heft easily.
It doesn't have to be a whoopsy daisy magnetic shifty to affect the globe in such a ridiculously drastic way as some "theories" would like to put it.
A temporary hole in the atmosphere would do it. Not saying that happened, but it is possible.
Doesn’t explain the undigested buttercups.
@@rainesail Do dead animals digest what they ate? In a frozen environment? Un.di.ges.ted.
It goes beyond an isolated instance of a prehistoric animal being discovered with undigested and in some cases uneaten plants in their digestive system indicating the freeze happened fast. Furthermore, in many cases, especially as concerns natural gas, gold, and other similar geological treasures, drillers discovered fossilized remnants of tropical plants and animals in artic areas far from the warm tropics. There is ample evidence that the poles flip, and while its generally regarded as a long term event, magnetic excursions are a different in that regard, which is a shift of the poles and not a flip. It is an ugly truth, but our hold on this terra firma is tenous and for the most part, we are blissfully unaware as a civilization how easily it could all be undone. Does that mean people should freak out and be rediculous? No, but it doesn't mean we should simply close our eyes and ears to something because it sounds drastic and scary. At the very least it warrants extensive and transparent research. Much is learned in this modern iron world, but its entirely possible that we have collectively forgotten things that we simply can't afford to forget. Our dominion of the earth spans not even a single grain in the sands of time and we are inclined to think that all time and evolution of humans occurs in a linear form only, rarely considering the possibility that the past is the future and the future is the past in some ways. Some hypothesize that the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx are a type of clock for the ages, and the theory is far from unbelievable.
The plant life discovered was subtropical. New questions need better answers to explain these phenomenon. This past February the atmosphere experienced a profound change over New Hampshire and the temp dropped to insanely drastic levels. The sudden atmospheric extreme, during winter, created an extreme freeze.
Your french reading isn’t too terrible, some words I can make out but definitely could use a bit less raspiness 😂 it makes some of your french pronunciation a bit better but also make some words hard to decipher. Also having the editors write down the names on screen for native language readers makes it fun to see how you chose to read words.
The Hawaiian Islands are not moving toward Japan, formed by a hotspot, the Pacific plate moves over it, forming new shield volcanoes over time creating a chain. The Empress sea mounts, now below the surface, are the northern and older volcanic arc of the same hotspot.
The trench in front of the Japanese islands is caused by the Pacific plate sub ducting under the Eurasian plate, dragging the plate north west.
Also, about Atlantis (I'll post it here since your atlantis video is kinda old at this point) I have a hypothesis for you. I think it's at least plausible that it's sort of a mixed bag of events revolving around the Minoans. The rising up of Athens against them could represent the mycenian absorption of the minoans, and the actual catastraphy could represent the eruption on Thera a few hundred years later. Other elements, like a strong naval and ground military fit the height of Minoan power, and the Minowans were rather fond of putting red ochre on pretty much every wall they could erect, which might account for the hew of Omilachrium (or whatever the correct spelling is). Also, sorry, I know you said you were done, lol, so feel free to ignore me :)
Simon immediately thinking someone who gets into college through a sport isn’t smart is such a nerd thing to do.
On the other hand, i heard my college's star basketball player had a GPA of 0.01 before the ciach left and he left with the coach. That was the summer before i started collrge.
Unfortunately (at least in the usa) a lot of schools heavily rely on athletes for money and accept them purely for their money and not for their actual ability to graduate. At my college, it was very well known by everyone that we had to put up with the athletes who were so overconfident, egotistical, and cocky so that we could fund stuff that was actually important. Mind you, our school didn't have a football team and hardly won anything sports-wise. The only athletes who weren't that rude and bratty were students who regretted not switching majors or only were doing sports to cover our gym general ed requirements since a single semester on a sports team covered half your gym credits. The majority of athletes (especially the men) were almost always struggling academically because they didn't care about anything other than sports, because they kept getting caught doing stupid stuff, or because they were so busy with their sports that they didn't do any schoolwork.
@@thederpypikachu9873 There was a trio of students on an athletics scholarship in my Logic class in college who absolutely hated me. Logic was supposed to be a "filler class" for them, an easy A that would fulfill some of their academic requirements. The class had weekly tests that were going to be graded on a curve, so that the highest scores would set the bar for "100" and everyone else would get their scores bumped up accordingly (ie, if the top score was 90, and I scored 70, then it became an 80 while the 90 became a 100).
It was a rather ridiculous system... especially since I not only scored a 100 on every test, I also always got all four extra credit questions correct for an additional 20 points. So yeah, that threw a wrench into the whole "curve" system for the athletes :P
They complained every...single...day... they tried to pressure me to drop the class... they tried to pressure the professor to kick me from the class... I tried to be diplomatic and offered to help tutor them, but they weren't interested in actually learning, just getting a good grade to meet their academic requirements. The college administrators stepped in after a few weeks and made the professor exclude me from the curve, including retroactive grades, which they were none too pleased with. But at least the athletes managed to scrape through with their D's. What a waste of an education :(
My aunt was made to fudge athletes' grades when she was a professor .... until she quit for that very reason.
That said, the OP has a point about it being an unfair assumption of any/all sports scholarship students. It IS possible to play hard and work hard, and I've known several high school and college athletes who also got straight-A's. They're like gods to the administrators, because they're "two-fers" -bring in money AND bring up nationalized testing score averages for the school.
@@vic5015 sound like you went to a sad college
It would be really surprising if Gerald Ford was released from hospice care, considering he died 17 years ago.
Pretty sure they meant Carter. But you know another old former president, they are all the same.
I got a pair of those shoes. The edging around the ankle hole is so hard and inflexible it basically cut a ring around each of my ankles from just one grocery store trip (which I had to leave before getting all the things on my list because the pain was so bad). I didn't want to mess with a return/refund hassle, so I just took scissors and cut a little 1-inch slash in the front of each hole. So now they're comfortable enough, but man I have never worn shoes so squeaky in my life. Just the lightest rub against the floor (any hard floor, doesn't matter what kind) makes an ultrasonic dolphinesque squeal.
It makes me realize how little trouble it really was to just walk around the occasional water puddle. 🤣
Mine felt like a snake was trying to eat my feet but somehow were also very loose at the heel.
I suspect I might have alien feets.
Bad swag
I bought a set of vessi’s second hand over the summer: genuinely never had more comfortable shoes. The laces are purely ornamental so you really need to get the correct size for yourself. I’m a size nine, my vessi’s are size ten: so whatever size shoe you wear, go up one size for vessi’s and your good to go.
The reason the original seller sold them: they were too tight for his size 10 feet. Meanwhile, my size 9’s fit snug as a bug in a rug.
@@thejason755 I bought mine second hand too and automatically bought a size up because I have wide feet and these aren't offered in 'wides'. -The fit was never the problem; they fit me fine. But it sounds like you got a different model if you're talking about laces, because mine are slip-on. But really more like pry on with a crow bar, because of that tiny opening. And again, the squeaking is REALLY loud and annoying. I'm just saying I personally can't recommend them.
I tend to dribble a little drinking from a cup due to a scarred lip. Carry a collapsible stainless steel straw. Great for thickshakes.
This is like a casual theoretical conversation between two people.
Since it is a script and a response, it is more awkward than a casual theoretical conversation.
Simon dropping videos on All his channels @ once👍🏼🤗
Yeah Simon, uni’s are very big business here in the States. So if you bring them fame and fortune, you are encouraged to get a degree ;)
I do understand this, paleomagnetism and polar wander paths were a big focus of my university 20 years ago. You're on the right track, Simon... and yes, the big takeaway is that random people never consider the TIME scale involved in these geological processes. Seriously, we'd be better off tackling Greta and the activists' mission to spread alarmism and wake them up (pun intended) than wasting any time or emotion on geomagnetic reversals. Regardless of conditions on Earth, i think creating a whole generation of people with eco-anxiety and kids with existential dread about their future isn't good for anyone.
Too late!😮😂
Whew..........After wasting a whole hour+ , I can now go binge watch JRE!!🙃🙃😎
😂 my daughter is currently doing her bronze DofE award I’m going to share this video with her I’m sure she’ll appreciate it.
America has special admissions to its colleges for athletes and family of graduates
To be clear, it's up to each school. There's no national policy.
@@PrezVeto True, but it's common practice.
The day after tomorrow movie was supposed to be about a pole shift but got changed to be about global warming in edit because it was cooler than pole shifting
Cooler? I think we all know the real reason.
@@PrezVeto It was... hotter? 🥁
@@trishapellis: Narrative
If there is a Polar Shift, before it happens I´m gonna buy millions of compasses and remake them. Everyone will need new ones when Polar Shift is done, I will be rich 😁
Don't do that bro. We will just know that the red pointer is pointing south. But I admire your resourcefulness .
I think I'll copyright the name "The Great Pole Dance" and write a book. I'd sell tons of copies to people who think they are getting something entirely different. Bwa-hah-hah-hah!
"When was the last time you used a compass?" he asks, while going to flight school to get his bloody pilot's license... 😅😂
I'm don't believe this shifting of the Earth's surface happens, but you didn't cover the main mechanism for it to happen. The theory is that an extreme electrical outburst from the sun overpowers the Earth and causes the normally solid connection between the crust and the mantle to electrically decouple. This allows the crust to freely move and in the matter of a day the heavy parts (the ice caps) move to the equator.
BTW, magnetic excursions happen every 12,000 years and we are overdue. interesting point is that we've lost 30% of the Earth's magnetic strength in the last 100 years and recently it's rapidly accelerating. Also, the magnetic poles are physically moving faster now than they've ever moved in recorded history.
Something is up.
You get into Harvard because you have really rich parents...
This!! Getting into Harvard, and the other “ivy league” schools, is more about the size of your wallet not your brain. Just look at how many “Ivy Leaguers” are in congress, none of which are all that big brained… but mommy and daddy had big wallets didn’t they.
The Ivy League requires their athletes to meet the academic standards of their peers.
It is also why their sports teams are terrible.
How does one human go on so many tangents when reading a script?
Simon’s prediction for the next Joe Rogan guest is pretty spot-on 😂
