Yes, Simon. The moving thing is done in America. We recruit friends and family because hiring a moving company is very expensive. Also, some people don't trust strangers with their stuff.
@@ridethroughlifertl I used to work for a major moving company (it was Mayflower), I can tell you right now, that whole thing of moving companies breaking your stuff is VERY rare. In fact it's proven that your stuff is more likely to get broken when YOU move your own stuff, than when you hire a professional mover. Why? Because the moving company is financially responsible for those damages. They're a business, they REALLY don't want to pay that. Moving companies also have to have very special insurance for hauling household goods, and have to be approved by the FMCSA/USDOT to do so as well
Fact boi has it made! Never had to move your own sh!t from one place to the next?? And as far as why I wouldn't hire a moving company to do it is because that would cost several hundred, more likely over a thousand dollars, or i can call up 2 of my friends on a Saturday morning and it only costs me a case of beer and some 🍕. MUCH cheaper
I'm pretty sure I watched porn within seconds when we first got broadband internet. Milliseconds, even. I might have broken the sound barrier with my click speed. There wasn't anything like PornHub at the time, but there were like websites where scenes would be broken down into like ~30 second clips.
Kevin thank you SO much for providing subtitles to the video clip at the beginning, makes it so much more fun when I understand WTF you are saying 😅 Bathing with your kids is pretty common in the U.K. too, but it tends to be either 2-3 kids together in the tub with an adult supervising, or a parent and a smaller child (often under 3). I believe in Japan is culturally common to bathe together as a family? It was also how we bathed when I was a kid too, parents went first, then a teen got a bath to themselves and finally the under 10s were put in together and supervised. Saved a lot of water, and kept the hassle of bathing everyone to a simple system one evening every other day (sometimes every 3 days) rather than an exhausting routine of dinner, baths and bed every night with lots of kids running around lol. I am so excited to watch another of these episodes!
My guesses:1 plausible? im not 100% sure, but I know enough to think it could be? ✅ 2 yeah this one feels too good a story. Feels less likely to be real. ✅ 3 yeah I’m with Simon, I can’t imagine this being real, but it might I guess? ✅ 4 this sounds kind of potentially true? ❌ 5 Definitely feels real! :( just disappearing like that is so distressing for families. ✅
I'm going to guess that the editor is actually responsible for the captions, because some of them were wrong. For example, he said "*familial* link," not familiar, and "a *load* of [naughty word]," not whole.
I remembered the last story from news reports when it happened. The son and the parents thinking they were on the same road, looking for each other, but actually on different roads altogether. So sad and scary.
IIRC the leading theory is that after he left the river and climbed the embankment, he tripped and fell into a culvert. He got back up, still slightly drunk and lightly concussed. Made it a bit further through a field where he passed out, and was unfortunately consumed by a combine. The reason there's never been a body found is because his tattered remains were swiftly consumed by the wildlife.
@@ThatWriterKevin wait are you THE Kevin!? I love your scripts and this game you've created. I don't want to rank the writers but if I did you'd certainly be one of my favorites
I thought it was so funny that Simon forgot he made a video on the monster with 21 faces. But then the joke was on me, because I got my multitude of true crime TH-camrs confused, and Simon has not actually covered that case yet lol 🙈🙈
Half the time I spend on youtube is devoted to a Whistler channel daily... There is a channel for so many different moods. Waiting on a food channel, honestly.

Simon, we have pickup trucks in the US. Pickup trucks make up about 20% of all vehicles in the US. It varies depending on state, of course, with Wyoming coming it at the top with 37% of all vehicles being pickups. If you don't have a pickup truck, then your dad or your neighbor or your cousin has one and you get their help in moving. There's no need to hire a "van" when you have a pickup truck. (For the Americans following along: "van" is euro-speak for a box truck, not what we would call a van.) Moving companies do exist here, but why pay a stranger to break your stuff when you can get your friend to do it for a few slices of pizza? Moving companies are mostly used by people who are moving long distance (your cousin Larry isn't likely to let you take his truck 2,000 miles away) OR wealthy people who have more money than friends. Another option is to simply rent a moving truck (aka a "van"). For somewhat more than the cost of a pizza, but less than the cost of hiring movers, you can rent a truck, pack it up yourself, and send your blood pressure into the stratosphere with a white knuckle drive across town, during which you pray that you don't take out any mailboxes with the monstrous thing.
LOVE KEVIN'S VIDEOS WHERE HE TAKES THE "SERIAL KILLER" LOOK, TONE AND PERSONA, AND CHALLENGES SIMON! It's freaking EPIC! The voice changer is the icing on the cake, it always gives me chills!
To answer your question about moving companies in the US, Simon; yes, we have them, but they are really expensive. Most people would just get a U-Haul if they have a lot of stuff, but that’s just a trailer you can rent. You would still need to either pack everything yourself or alternatively get some friends or family to help you
You can get extra services from U-Haul like a driver and movers trust the U-Haul lesbian 😂 and it's still all pretty cheap it's just most people drive, so they rent a small truck themselves. My ex was a truck driver so of course that's what she wanted to do. My family hires teens which just feels a lot better than giving money to the company. We paid a few boys just hanging out in a park nearby to unpack our truck with us, gave em lunch and about $30 bucks each which is basically the rate for movers with a U-Haul. They were actually excited they went from having a flat basketball and doing nothing to free lunch and $30 extra at 15-17.
@@DerptyDerptyDUM thats always the best option but I guess that's an American thing according to Simon 🤔 Also I've had friends trade in trucks the moment they remembered that makes them the first call for moving 😂 so it doesn't always work
Even splurging on a company to move the big stuff… you’d still get friends to help you pack everything up and move the boxes, because if hiring a moving truck for a few hours is expensive, hiring a company to do the packing and spend the time to move everything is insane
Simon being very upper class in his understanding of moving. There's 3 stages of moving. "I'm new to being out on my own and renting fully furnished places with all the kitchen utensils and whatnot, I just need to move 3 boxes, a suitcase and my computer" "I have a bunch of boxes of stuff to move but I'm still not financially established and thus a friend with a pickup truck or a rent-a-van is a big help" "I have a ton of stuff including furniture and everything to move, but I'm financially established and thus can afford professional movers." Someone skipped step 2. Moving companies exist, but they're also expensive. Folks need to make a living doing this, and a friend who will give you a day in exchange for a $12 pizza is a hell of a lot cheaper than a moving man who needs a day's wage plus whatever the company's share of the profits are for that day.
Third shift is usually overnight, often 11PM-7AM, or something like that. Yes, people actually do have shifts like that in some industries, so there are often restaurants and bars open early in the day to cater to those workers. I've worked that shift quite often at a hotel.
@@femain1788 I only mentioned one of the fields that I've worked in that had that kind of shift, there are plenty others. I've also worked that shift at a Circle K. It seems that a lot of people from other countries underestimate how much of American society is 24/7.

@@mattelder1971 oh I wasn’t taking it personally just describing my experience. When I moved out of Miami to a small city in Michigan suddenly having to adjust to everything closing at 10 pm was odd to me. I still haven’t become accustomed to not having a Walmart or gas station closed.
I love these videos so much; I thought the eggman might have been real unfortunately, so I lost that one. It just sounded familiar lol. In this one, I'd already heard of 21 Faces and Brandon, so I should have just gone with "if I hadn't heard of it's false." Well done Kevin, I can't wait for more of these
Kevin is officially my favorite now. And there are a lot of interesting missing persons cases that would be good for future content, especially the weird ones from parks in the US
Moving companies are HELLA expensive and friends only cost pizza. To move across Canada, the cheapest quote we got from a moving company was $6k, which is a ridiculous amount of money when I can rent a Uhaul for $200 and have my friends help me load and unload it for $30 of pizza.
Thank you Kevin, these are the BEST scripts, my absolute favorite!!!! Im rooting for a LONG series of these!! And its soooo fun watching Simon try and guess, 😆
Yeah, most criminals are caught, coz theyre, well, stupid. But a lot of otherwise smart criminals get caught, coz hubris. Hubris will get them every time.
Thank you so much for the captions for kevin!!! I'm a bit hard of hearing and it was impossible to hear him before - he's louder in this one and its easier but still hard to make out exactly what all the words are, the captions are a huge help, tytytytyty
@@katten39 Thanks. It's probably going to stay that way until at least Monday (work stuff, its just pure stress atm and Im assigned to an ambulance with my absolut least favourite collgue that day, like you cannot imagine how much Im tempted to switch shifts rn) if not next weekend after Ive moved to my new appartment. But at least my general mood has been improved by this glorious addition to the whistlerverse ^^.
P. S. Hacking a company in order to get hired for that company or by law enforcement was good back in the early 2000's, but is a bad idea now. Now you are more likely to just go to prison. You're better off making a blog, participating in bug bounty programs and reporting said bugs through official channels, while also documenting all of your research and work on your blog.
Loved it! I love Kevin’s creative style of incorporating the “game” aspect. Although have to say, Ive listened to so many of Kevin’s scripts I’m starting to pick up on the smallest change in writing style when a story is true or false…(that’s a compliment lol). Also, still love how much Simon gets into it! Good work guys.
Kevin is getting better! Basing stuff on real stories, using the real details, needs to work out a little bit the ending to be more believable. And also to put less details into real stories, so Simon is more confused. Throw a little "he was never found because he was obviously abducted by aliens" in :D
30:30 a note on hacking to get a job - companies will have postings that are like “hack us and we’ll pay you” (like an independent contractor situation), but it’s rarely a direct line to a job - it’s more of a way to build experience and professionally network (my brother works in cybersecurity and told me about these postings when we were chatting about work)
I really enjoy these types of videos by Kevin, he's got a great imagination and makes it fun trying to pick up on clues to determine if it is true or not.. please make more like these in the future guys, thanks!!! Love all of your channels as well, Simon!! I look forward to seeing your videos daily, they're the highlight of my day 😊
When you see "internet mystery" you know it's gonna be Kevin and that's how you know it's also gonna be good. Not that the other writers aren't good, they are, I just love Kevin's internet mysteries.
Definitely enjoying this series as it goes on. I'm terrible at guessing stuff so I rarely try but I do love seeing Simon guessing, plus Kevin is very creative as always.
I feel like Simon should give all videos in this series the same title like Fake or Real part 1, 2 etc. so that it is easier for people to go back and see the previous ones.
Simon's back and forth over the possible truth or fiction behind the first story is all the more enjoyable when you remember the video he did a year ago about that very subject.
I know it's basically upload day...but bro I needed this one for sure. I'm about to shred my roomate...so, time for a drive to a nice quiet place and play a pleasant game.
1000% my favorite DTU Episodes are these ones by Kevin. I do hope to see more and hopefully Kevin can absolutely destroy Simon one day and prove he's really a smooth brain. 😅The final entry in this episode actually goes pretty deep. I know "The Smiley Face Killers" was a top covered on the casual criminalist, but Brandon Swanson has been someone considered to be a possible victim linked to them.
We tend to have larger homes than in the uk, and loads more stuff to fill them. 4 years ago after we retired from the army we moved cities. We are a family of 6. We didnt have extra furniture or cars, nothing overly heavy or fragile etc. and we were moving 1,000 miles. Our quotes for pickup, transport and delivery( no packing) started at $8000 and went up to $12,000. Adding in them helping pack and it went up about $1500. I helped my single aunt move 500miles and she had a 1bed apt. Having them pack, load, transport and deliver was still $5300! You can rent a moving truck and If you have friends and family help you pack and load it, then you drive it yourself you can get it for less than $1000.
I know the proper response to Kevin's conclusions about the guy murdered in the bar by a shillelagh shank is to clutch my pearls, gasp, and utter: "oh my! Kevin-- you took that too far. . ." But. . . No. It was hilarious and couldn't have been more perfectly executed to troll Simon. Excellent work. I hope Fact Boy features more of Kevin's works in the Whistlverse.
This video came out four days ago. Why did TH-cam just notify me? Normally I get notifications the moment it's posted. Also, this is an interesting series I haven't seen yet! I've been watching this channel for so long, how have I missed this?! Well, now I have something to binge.
Love these episodes! Kevin on point but Simon knows crime too in depth. Maybe do one with disasters/tragedies? As an avid viewer of all disaster videos I find new ones I've neverheard of all the time. Whatever the next topic is, I'm here for it
I joined an online show called “bored factory workers”(Even tho the only time I worked inside a factory was to do catering for them) and one of the three hosts fakes his death in a video. We filmed three videos that day. Two gross food challenges and the fake death. He foamed at the mouth using antacids and I even gave him advice on how seizure activity looked. They played it out for a week and then finally came forward and admitted that he was still alive. All of their fan base snapped and went nuts. It was the end of bored factory workers. It was over. It was done. No more food challenges or drinking competitions. A lot less puking.
It’s probably the point of your choice, but I just stared at this for about ten seconds until my sleepy brain could register why there was no username and it says (at the current date) “over 2 weeks ago”. Well played. 🤣
On the topic of moving, yes, we have moving companies in America, but many people choose to move themselves rather than hiring someone else to do it (which can get rather expensive if you have a lot of stuff to move). We have companies like U-Haul where you can rent a moving van (or trailer, etc.) to move things yourself, and of course when moving large furniture it certainly helps if you have some friends to help out. I guess it's an American thing, as many Americans are more inclined to do things themselves rather than hiring other people to do things for them.
Brothers Josh Strife Hayes, Kira and Callum Upton, we must welcome Brother Kevin to the Shadow Cabal. The plan to trap Simon in the basement is coming along accordingly.
I absolutely love these episodes!! I did 4/5 so you won over me Simon! Keep doing this stuff, a way to make the audience involved in a video is brilliant!
Simon… my man, you gotta understand, America is a BIG place. If you drove nonstop straight from Texarkana, a city in eastern Texas to El Paso, a city in western Texas, it would take twelve hours. You can find moving companies that will have movers load and drive your stuff, sure, but it’s far more common to just rent a truck and do it yourself.
You know, when it comes to the ethics of using genetic testing services like Ancestry or 23andMe, I feel REALLY torn. Like, I’ll use my story for an example: 40+ years ago, my dad was involved in drug crimes. He’s never killed or SA’d anyone, and came from a home of horrific abuse, to a foster home of horrific abuse, to fending for himself at 16. Everything he did, he did just to get by, and I’d be SO pissed if any genetic material I turned in for testing got him arrested. I’m happy we caught the likes of The Golden State killer, but I feel like we need to put optional safeguards in place to protect privacy. The amount of people willing to give up that basic human right in exchange for making life slightly easier is actually terrifying.
Simon, 3rd shift employees start work late at night and get out of work early in the morning. Companies that run 24 hours a day either have two 12 hour shifts or three 8 hour shifts. Start times vary, but typically first shift is 6am-2pm, second shift is 2pm-10pm and third shift is 10pm-6am.
I love the Kevin segments!! The effort he puts into the stories and the presentation!! Gosh!! Way to go! And it's clear Simon is having a great time too. All in all a wholesome murder time lol

@@mattelder1971 oh I wasn’t taking it personally just describing my experience. When I moved out of Miami to a small city in Michigan suddenly having to adjust to everything closing at 10 pm was odd to me. I still haven’t become accustomed to not having a Walmart or gas station closed.
I love these videos so much; I thought the eggman might have been real unfortunately, so I lost that one. It just sounded familiar lol. In this one, I'd already heard of 21 Faces and Brandon, so I should have just gone with "if I hadn't heard of it's false." Well done Kevin, I can't wait for more of these
Kevin is officially my favorite now. And there are a lot of interesting missing persons cases that would be good for future content, especially the weird ones from parks in the US
I’d listen to a 6 hour episode of Simon covering the Missing 411 cases! Hell, he could make a whole new channel for that.
Moving companies are HELLA expensive and friends only cost pizza.
To move across Canada, the cheapest quote we got from a moving company was $6k, which is a ridiculous amount of money when I can rent a Uhaul for $200 and have my friends help me load and unload it for $30 of pizza.
Thank you Kevin, these are the BEST scripts, my absolute favorite!!!! Im rooting for a LONG series of these!! And its soooo fun watching Simon try and guess, 😆
I'm rooting for a long series as well! Here's hoping I can come up with enough ideas
I love these game show episodes.
I don't play along, I'm way too lazy. But I do love how excited Simon and Kevin seem to be ❤️
Glad you like them!
27:43 Aren't half the cases Simon covers on Casual Criminalist solved because smart criminals do something amazingly stupid?
Treading carefully is hard work, and the more complicated plans have more failure points.
Yeah, most criminals are caught, coz theyre, well, stupid. But a lot of otherwise smart criminals get caught, coz hubris. Hubris will get them every time.
Brain blaze and decoding the unknown are so good
OGBB!!!
Hands down, this my favorite format across the Simon-verse; please keep doing 'em!
Thank you so much for the captions for kevin!!! I'm a bit hard of hearing and it was impossible to hear him before - he's louder in this one and its easier but still hard to make out exactly what all the words are, the captions are a huge help, tytytytyty
Totally rescued my shitty Friday. And I even managed to find this right as it was published.
Amen
Hope everything gets better!
@@katten39 Thanks. It's probably going to stay that way until at least Monday (work stuff, its just pure stress atm and Im assigned to an ambulance with my absolut least favourite collgue that day, like you cannot imagine how much Im tempted to switch shifts rn) if not next weekend after Ive moved to my new appartment. But at least my general mood has been improved by this glorious addition to the whistlerverse ^^.
Glad to help!
P. S. Hacking a company in order to get hired for that company or by law enforcement was good back in the early 2000's, but is a bad idea now. Now you are more likely to just go to prison.
You're better off making a blog, participating in bug bounty programs and reporting said bugs through official channels, while also documenting all of your research and work on your blog.
Loved it! I love Kevin’s creative style of incorporating the “game” aspect. Although have to say, Ive listened to so many of Kevin’s scripts I’m starting to pick up on the smallest change in writing style when a story is true or false…(that’s a compliment lol). Also, still love how much Simon gets into it! Good work guys.
I love Kevin’s writing. He’s my favorite writer now. Also, Simon not knowing what third shift is lol
Thanks!
Kevin is getting better! Basing stuff on real stories, using the real details, needs to work out a little bit the ending to be more believable. And also to put less details into real stories, so Simon is more confused. Throw a little "he was never found because he was obviously abducted by aliens" in :D
30:30 a note on hacking to get a job - companies will have postings that are like “hack us and we’ll pay you” (like an independent contractor situation), but it’s rarely a direct line to a job - it’s more of a way to build experience and professionally network (my brother works in cybersecurity and told me about these postings when we were chatting about work)
I really enjoy these types of videos by Kevin, he's got a great imagination and makes it fun trying to pick up on clues to determine if it is true or not.. please make more like these in the future guys, thanks!!! Love all of your channels as well, Simon!! I look forward to seeing your videos daily, they're the highlight of my day 😊
When you see "internet mystery" you know it's gonna be Kevin and that's how you know it's also gonna be good. Not that the other writers aren't good, they are, I just love Kevin's internet mysteries.
Definitely enjoying this series as it goes on. I'm terrible at guessing stuff so I rarely try but I do love seeing Simon guessing, plus Kevin is very creative as always.
I absolutely love this format! I hope Kevin and you keep doing them! This one stumped me a few times.
I feel like Simon should give all videos in this series the same title like Fake or Real part 1, 2 etc. so that it is easier for people to go back and see the previous ones.
Simon's back and forth over the possible truth or fiction behind the first story is all the more enjoyable when you remember the video he did a year ago about that very subject.
I know it's basically upload day...but bro I needed this one for sure.
I'm about to shred my roomate...so, time for a drive to a nice quiet place and play a pleasant game.
Love these kind of videos. I'm so happy I still find new Simon videos
Glad you enjoyed!
I enjoy these so much. Keep 'em comin', Kevin!
Will do!
1000% my favorite DTU Episodes are these ones by Kevin. I do hope to see more and hopefully Kevin can absolutely destroy Simon one day and prove he's really a smooth brain. 😅The final entry in this episode actually goes pretty deep. I know "The Smiley Face Killers" was a top covered on the casual criminalist, but Brandon Swanson has been someone considered to be a possible victim linked to them.
We tend to have larger homes than in the uk, and loads more stuff to fill them. 4 years ago after we retired from the army we moved cities. We are a family of 6. We didnt have extra furniture or cars, nothing overly heavy or fragile etc. and we were moving 1,000 miles. Our quotes for pickup, transport and delivery( no packing) started at $8000 and went up to $12,000. Adding in them helping pack and it went up about $1500. I helped my single aunt move 500miles and she had a 1bed apt. Having them pack, load, transport and deliver was still $5300! You can rent a moving truck and If you have friends and family help you pack and load it, then you drive it yourself you can get it for less than $1000.
"Too good to be fake", Simon here changing common wisdoms
Love the videos in this style. Kevin's intros and outros are great. Always excited to see another of these on DtU.
I love this format, and the video in the beginning pumped me up SO much lol
Absolutely love this little series.
Growing up i watched a show called "Fact Or Fiction" and i absolutely love that this is a series in the Whistler realm 🥰
Omg this reminded me of that show too! I couldn’t remember the name, though.
I know the proper response to Kevin's conclusions about the guy murdered in the bar by a shillelagh shank is to clutch my pearls, gasp, and utter: "oh my! Kevin-- you took that too far. . ."
But. . . No. It was hilarious and couldn't have been more perfectly executed to troll Simon. Excellent work.
I hope Fact Boy features more of Kevin's works in the Whistlverse.
This video came out four days ago. Why did TH-cam just notify me? Normally I get notifications the moment it's posted. Also, this is an interesting series I haven't seen yet! I've been watching this channel for so long, how have I missed this?! Well, now I have something to binge.
I love these, keep em comin'!
Wait I think I missed the second one in this series, what's the video name? Great video as always, Kevin you are killing it!!😩👌💕‼️
"People going to work at midnight? That doesn't make any sense?"
- Actually Simon.
Jesus dude.
Love these episodes! Kevin on point but Simon knows crime too in depth. Maybe do one with disasters/tragedies? As an avid viewer of all disaster videos I find new ones I've neverheard of all the time. Whatever the next topic is, I'm here for it
Yeah, murders wasn't the smartest idea if I wanted to actually trick him
Thank you for doing these videos!
Continuing to LOVE this fake or real series, keep em coming Kev!
Excellent episode guys! Kevin keep refining your craft, this is a very entertaining format.
Audio much improved and subtitles are a nice addition. Good stuff 👍
I joined an online show called “bored factory workers”(Even tho the only time I worked inside a factory was to do catering for them) and one of the three hosts fakes his death in a video. We filmed three videos that day. Two gross food challenges and the fake death. He foamed at the mouth using antacids and I even gave him advice on how seizure activity looked. They played it out for a week and then finally came forward and admitted that he was still alive. All of their fan base snapped and went nuts. It was the end of bored factory workers. It was over. It was done. No more food challenges or drinking competitions. A lot less puking.
Yay! So glad to get another of these!
The captioning is VERY much appreciated, btw, thank you! :)
"Im about to e-mail Kevin and let him know, how I did".
U mean gloat, Simon.
Possibly my favorite series on youtube. So good!
It’s probably the point of your choice, but I just stared at this for about ten seconds until my sleepy brain could register why there was no username and it says (at the current date) “over 2 weeks ago”. Well played. 🤣
@@anamkarajoy ha! No actually, I was just looking to select a name that said nothing at all. But I'm glad it gave you amusement!
Yes, I love this series! These are great! I like playing along with these
I dig this format. Step it up Kevin, im rooting for you!
totally looking forward to more of these!
The editing on these are always so fun
I adore these so much Kevin, you said there was more to come and you spoke the truth! Content is amazing. Love the rambles too simon
Love this format
This reminds me so much of how we would do this to pass time in high school! Love them!
I love these episodes so much.
This is a beautiful format, and I LOVE Kevin for this! XD
Thanks! Love you too
"Hey, Trainspotting, can you dial that modulator down a skoosh?"
On the topic of moving, yes, we have moving companies in America, but many people choose to move themselves rather than hiring someone else to do it (which can get rather expensive if you have a lot of stuff to move). We have companies like U-Haul where you can rent a moving van (or trailer, etc.) to move things yourself, and of course when moving large furniture it certainly helps if you have some friends to help out. I guess it's an American thing, as many Americans are more inclined to do things themselves rather than hiring other people to do things for them.
Oh man, I love these videos!
Brothers Josh Strife Hayes, Kira and Callum Upton, we must welcome Brother Kevin to the Shadow Cabal. The plan to trap Simon in the basement is coming along accordingly.
I absolutely love these episodes!!
I did 4/5 so you won over me Simon!
Keep doing this stuff, a way to make the audience involved in a video is brilliant!
Please make more of these! They’re a lot of fun
Love these episodes!!
Simon… my man, you gotta understand, America is a BIG place. If you drove nonstop straight from Texarkana, a city in eastern Texas to El Paso, a city in western Texas, it would take twelve hours. You can find moving companies that will have movers load and drive your stuff, sure, but it’s far more common to just rent a truck and do it yourself.
You know, when it comes to the ethics of using genetic testing services like Ancestry or 23andMe, I feel REALLY torn. Like, I’ll use my story for an example: 40+ years ago, my dad was involved in drug crimes. He’s never killed or SA’d anyone, and came from a home of horrific abuse, to a foster home of horrific abuse, to fending for himself at 16. Everything he did, he did just to get by, and I’d be SO pissed if any genetic material I turned in for testing got him arrested.
I’m happy we caught the likes of The Golden State killer, but I feel like we need to put optional safeguards in place to protect privacy. The amount of people willing to give up that basic human right in exchange for making life slightly easier is actually terrifying.
Love these videos!
Thank you for adding subtitles, Kevin and Danniel!
These are my favorite kind of decoding the unknown episodes
Thanks!
Simon, 3rd shift employees start work late at night and get out of work early in the morning.
Companies that run 24 hours a day either have two 12 hour shifts or three 8 hour shifts.
Start times vary, but typically first shift is 6am-2pm, second shift is 2pm-10pm and third shift is 10pm-6am.
Honestly, I think my favorite parts are Kevin's intro and outro; they're so cheesy they loop back around to being good.
3rd shift is about 11 PM to 7 or 8 am. Factories and service workers or what was considered essential workers work "shift work " 24 hr schedules.
I love the Kevin segments!! The effort he puts into the stories and the presentation!! Gosh!! Way to go! And it's clear Simon is having a great time too. All in all a wholesome murder time lol
Thanks Kevin for having "captions" on your bits. Made it so much easier to follow what you were saying.
That was all Jen, but glad you enjoyed!
that back & forth Jen! Way to go i cracked up
That "hack them and get a job" thing used to be a real thing. Gummo actually built his career on it.
Awesome work Simon and Kevin and Jen!
Good news, there's plenty more of these coming if Kevin intends to take the lead!
I'm always so bad at these, but I love them XD
Damn, Simon and Co. You guys are on it. I haven't even been able to finish the Harpes vid yet. I'll have to come back to this, keep up the hard work and awesome content!!!!🍻🍻🍻
Make sure you're subscribed to all 15 or so of his channels!
@@alyssinwilliams4570 lol I think he is only at 13 or maybe 14 with the new science Channel. But I wouldn't put it past him making another channel or 10😆 At this point it strictly a lack of writers on different subjects. I liked when he explored playing Papers please the game, his personality is hilarious!
@@joeyr7294 it's been 24 minutes since the comment you replied to. It is more than likely Simon has started at least another channel or two in that time.
@@user-xb7tb9rz4j I wouldn't doubt it lmao😆
I got 3 of the 5. I absolutely love these episodes!! Cracks me up! Keep it up Blaze Boy!!
Glad you enjoy!
Food in two in a row of Decoding the unknown, Simon I think that your writers in the basement are trying to tell you that they are hungry 😅🤣
2:45 Monster with 21 Faces
9:55 The Eggman Cometh

Here in America, if you own a truck, every friend you have will ask you to move or haul something.
