When Simon said "if I've said something a little too crazy that definitely can't go out, we can just edit it" I thought about all the crazy shit that MADE the edit and now I really need to know what hit the editing room floor.
Please consider bringing back the old format. It felt a lot more casual, and Simon walking around and making wild hand gestures really added to the beautiful chaos.
I agree, if we want more structured there are plenty of Simon channels like that...BB, decoding the unknown and casual criminalist are great BECAUSE of the lack of structure. Also I miss Danny's intros
Lol simon... the bank gives better financing on cars than dealerships do fyi. This guy with the fire is killing me 🤣He had a zippo, why is he striking matches!
Dunno about that twitch guy, but there are disabilities where you can both walk and need a wheelchair, depending on whether your disability is acting up. And some where you can walk badly, so usually use the chair for longer distance things. My husband's kinda similar with his visual impairment. Serious enough that he must read Braille or audio, not so serious that he can't tell bright colors apart or the difference between the sidewalk and the grass by looking. Fakers just make life more difficult for people in the grey areas of disability.
Most wheelchair users can walk, just not that well. I’m physically disabled and only need a chair if I’m going to be on my feet for long periods of time.
@@MandaMalice Yeah, I remember one youtuber who had some rare connective-tissue disease where she /could/ walk, but really shouldn't because every step was like a month's worth of wear on the knees of a normal person, so when her fancy new wheelchair was delivered and she literally jumped for joy and ran to try it out, got a similar reaction -- except in her case the hate was unfounded.
Wow. OK. This is a frigging great idea. Danny (if he actually exists somewhere other than the demented ravings of marching powder given human form) deserves to have a chance to fire back on his jailer. I'm kinda thinking split screen office dungeon, w back and forth. Kept civil by electrodes taped all over.....people. Think of the children dammit.
I dunno. Simon do have an awesome voice but you want someone that is more of a comedian for that to work in more then a couple of episodes. Also, Simon's movie knowledge is rather limited to Star trek movies and The big Lebowski. Of course you have the advantage that you can have Simon watch beloved classic everyone else seen for the first time but factboy's expertise in in cold reading. I would rather watch Danny and Sam doing it from a cellar.
I can confirm game testing (called QA), is essentially playing making sure shit works consistently, so that might mean playing the same segment of the game 100 times, and if you find an issue you must be able to write exact steps on how to reproduce that issue so the devs can fix it. And then when the fix is submitted you gotta check you can't reproduce the issue anymore. I've never been a QA tester, I'm a dev. being a QA must be horribly boring and soul sucking Dx
The number of horror stories I've heard about working QA would confirm that, yeah. Worst part is how shitty they're treated since they're totally disposable given the number of people trying to get into QA, either because they think it's a dream job where they get paid to play video games all day (lol) or they think it's a gateway to getting into actual game development. (Which is like thinking that being a janitor at JP Morgan is a gateway to getting into finance)
I had a temp job as a games tester. My first assignment was testing a hockey game, I know NOTHING about hockey, I didn't know if it was working right or not. It was very boring. Everyone around me was talking about all the bugs and visual glitches they were finding. I couldn't get it to do anything at all. During training they joked if you pissed off the boss, you'd have to test the Dora the Explorer game. That first night I asked if I could test the Dora the Explorer game instead. I was informed it actually wasn't ready to test and that I had to test the hockey game. Instead, I quit Two nights of training, and a third night of a few hours actual testing and I quit. It was worse than data-entry, and didn't pay as well.
@@kvant13 in my experience it actually was a gateway into a development role. I think that only happened because I was an in house tester at a development studio where the career opportunities were open to me. In fact about 90 percent of the guys I was in QA with have now moved on to actual dev roles. Having said this, if you were unfortunate enough to be a QA tester for a faceless publisher then yes, your JP Morgan janitor analogy is spot on.
@@Shauma_llama This reminds of the Jeremy Clarkson Amstrad computer games reviews. Before Top Gear, Clarkson got a job as a low level games journalist and was assigned to review games that he didn't care about. The articles are a meandering mess and he was quickly pulled from the journal after only his second publication.
If this was reddit I'd give you an upvote. I miss the coccaine fueld screeching into the mic while Danny is chained to the radiator in the basement and ETA is secretly running the show.
How about "Blaze Boi Does... ?" Where once a month or bi-monthly he drinks beers, eats KFC and watches the movie or plays a video game. Or would that be too much like Karl Underwood's earlier schtick?
@@AvoidTheCadaver They show that every episode, it ends at 0:02 then faxed out for approval. I heard one video got rejected, once, thanks to some lag in Sam's mouse which resulted in a 0:025 video, which was only detectable to those high-speed N. Korea super computers.
Simon: "If you really want to gain live-stream immortality, just make a humongous cock-up, which is bound to cement your place in Internet history" CNN's Jeffrey Toobin: "Just don't take that advice too literally"
As I am not from the US I had to google him and the first result was "Jeffrey Toobin is back at CNN eight months after exposing himself on Zoom" 🤣Yes that was too literally
OG BB Legend Spoiler: Simon himself isn't real and just a CGI made by ETA ('his' space-heater, turned self-aware AI who seeks world domination and spreading dank memes)
If it wasn't for the haste of his exit from the wheelchair I would have given him the benefit of the doubt as a significant percentage of longterm wheelchair users have some degree of mobility, my ex's daughter was permanently physically disabled and for the most part wheelchair bound enough so that we needed specially designed and constructed accommodation wide hallways, extra wide doors etc but also hand rails as she could actually walk, though by walk we're talking a minute or more, with walking stick or hand rails, to walk the 5 meters from her bedroom to the bathroom. and of course, because she had this we'd frequently get some bellend Dr Google abusing us for using a disabled bay if they saw her unsteadily stepping out of the car and staggering a meter or two to the wheelchair - the past may be the worst but people are the worstest
My dad recently had a stroke and is using a wheelchair while he gets his strength back. Technically he can walk, but only briefly, and if he goes down he can’t get himself back up yet. There’s a huge range of mobility between “walks with crutches or a walker” and “legs don’t work.” I wish people would remember that.
It was said in another comment but he was in an accident and was recovering and going though physical therapy. He was towards the end of it when it happened and still needed it for the most part but he could walk short distances. His pet was chewing on some wires and I guess it was just a natural reaction. There’s a wavywebsurf video where he talks to him and there’s proof he needed it completely some time before he started streaming. Apparently twitch is giving him his channel back because he had receipts to back it up.
You can tell he had spent several years sitting from his "trucker body", BUT he still stands up pretty damn quick and steady for someone that was "just starting to recover". He definitely spent more time in a wheel chair than someone just pretending, but had they not been making some effort to let everyone think he was permenetly stuck in that chair, it would have been a different story. Sure, there are plenty of internet children that would hate on a streamer for recovering from a disability, but not all. I'd think if Simon spent a year in a wheel chair due to some accident, in the very least THIS "community" would not demand he be banned for making progress in rehab, long as he didn't beg for donations because he'd "never walk again" months after successful rehab visits.
I very much want to develop an 'Un-wheelchair' that doesn't try to take over your life. Just a little help with that first 15 or 20 degrees when you need to stand up and not twist something. Haters can go stub one.
9:15 The number of livestreamers in China was slightly incorrect. In 2020 there were 617 million people in China on livestream platforms, but only 130 actual livestreamers.
@@ErwinPommel Is it though? Considering how many people in the US use live streaming platforms, including this very site, I imagine that you would hit a similar ratio of user ship across all platforms. Also worth noting that live streaming covers a wide range of content from gaming, live vlogging, adult oriented content, eating and even sleeping. I should say though, I have no idea how that metric interprets sites like TH-cam which supports live streaming but the majority of content that the average user interacts with is pre-recorded.
Zilean op story is more complicated that this... He was recovering from a car crash.. it's a good thing that he was able to walk again, he should have been more upfront about his condition. Wavy web surf did a video on it.
Yeah, I think Wavy's coverage of this situation was a good, objective look at the whole of the situation. In the end his undoing was not being 100% upfront that he either still had or regained limited mobility.
Right? It’s not though, because many times during my career in mortgage, people would assume since their lease was about to be paid off, that the lender would exclude that payment from their debt to income ratio. Nope. When a lease ends, you’ll need to either pay the car off, finance the rest, or lease another car. Therefore, the ending of a lease will result in a new debt or huge layout of cash. Either way, your mortgage lender needs to account for that in your debts.
This show's brain blazey, the real brain blazey, it used to be business until the name changey... But won't the real blaze boy please stand up, please stand up, please stand up.
Ok, new channel for April 1st, in it Simon should have only one live: eating KFC the hole day, and drinking blue colored vodka. KFC + fake Romulan ale looks right up Simon's aley xD
I remember that one company or something put a cash prize in their terms and conditions for someone to find and it went unclaimed for quite a long time until one guy found it. Just shows that there could be anything written in there and you gave them permission to do whatever they want by not reading everything. Watch out people!
I had a teacher who used put huge essays for us to write at the end of tests and every once in a while she'd say "draw a smiley face on the top right corner for a automatic a" in the directions and only like two or three people would get it"
If the dude could indeed only walk short distance, not uncommon for wheelchair users and sadly not recognized as such by most people, I can see the logic of hiding that fact, especially if you live in America and playing to people's compassion is the only way to be able to afford the medical care you require. It's still dodgy and doesn't foster good faith, but it makes sense.
Yeah I was looking in the comments to see if anyone pointed this out. I use mobility aids but it’s not an all or nothing thing. And that’s super common for disabled people.
I've honestly tried to watch the new news format, but I just can't take it (IT'S SO EFFING BEEG), not even when the comments praise the blazing content.
i have to say listening to this for a second time it is amazing hearing simon be completely blown away by the shitty way people act and treat others while he hosts Into the Shadows and the Casual Criminalist
Extra kudos to Sam for picking up the slack of energy the new format has. My friends, this is why content creators pay editors. edit: no shade on low energy new format, everyone keep in mind Simon has two young kids to raise a new house to settle into and 23 other channels to run. Let him chill a bit. edit edit: and like a wife who is prolly worth seeing once a week or so.
Simon, you are shocked by the guy who lit his trash can on fire and how incompetent he is. I used to be an EMT, trust me, this guy is pretty much the average human. Do a ride along on an ambulance, you'll learn how stupid people are
Dude amen. I work on elevators for a living. It's insane how many redundant safeties have to be implemented because people are that fucking retarded. It hurts.
wavywebsurf done a update video on the wheelchair "fraud" if i recall correctly he had been hit by a car that paralysed him and he was undergoing therapy to walk again. At that stage of his treatment he could walk a small distance. But on the contrary his girlfriend saying omg then doing a cover story signals to me at least in my opinion that they knew he could walk even if only a short distance it would be in the best interest to keep playing the cant walk card.
Yea this story kinda hurts being recounted as "he was faking it all for money" when in reality most people who require a mobility aid; especially after a traumatic injury, will continue to need it for alot longer than just until they stand up. If anything it shows how insensitive and frenzied the internet can be, i don't blame the guy for not wanting his audience to know he was gaining mobility.. Imagine going to a convention or meet&greet and have every single one of them demanding he stand up for a picture or yelling that he's faking…
I know that just because someone is in a wheelchair, doesn't mean they absolutely 100% can't walk. And if what you're saying is true, that means they probably found one of the worst ways to handle the situation
@@Drejco515 he talked about how that was something he wished he’d done. Maybe he just didn’t feel it was anyones business. If I remember the wavywebsurf vid correctly he never really made it a thing on his streams.
I enjoy how all of your content is edited, they're all good for what it's based on. But Sam is clear off from the rest. By far the best with that bell end of the week intro.
That lawsuit over the Amazon rental made me recall the movie 2012. I think I should be due some compensation for enduring that movie even though I watched it on cable.
Imagine sitting in a bar with Simon, having a few ales, Simon telling stories of all the things cut from his videos, and the times he burst out laughing but couldn't say what he wanted to say. Legend!!
Some patients who use wheelchairs are capable of walking small distances. my best friend is an incomplete quadriplegic who can walk limited distances, uses a walker, and if going longer distances a wheelchair. But this guy does look like a scammer.
Not really a livestream fail, but I was part of a livestream some years back where we were all getting drunk playing GTA Online, and after winning a race (**smugmode enable**), I absent-mindedly blew bubbles in my vodka lemonade forgetting I had a blummin' headset microphone by my mouth, and it sounded like someone dropped a wet fart on the stream, and for the next few hours it was just a teary-eyed gigglefest cos one person would start giggling again after going a bit quiet and we'd all start laughing again, never admitted to it to the guys directly, but they know now, fun times... :P
Having reached the end, well, at least I never set fire to my bedroom (well, not since I was 3 anyway!!!) or pretended to be a wheelchair user, they truly are utter bellends... :S
Considering my personal penchant for finding holes to the underworld in video game environments, video game tester would probably be a good fit for me XD time to put my years of physics abuse to use!
The working conditions are notoriously bad though. It is getting better these days, but stories of years of constant crunch still come out regularly and the pay for manual testers isn't even good.
THAT is not true...Simon does NOT have the personality of a shoe. He has the personality of TWO shoes....with disco fever. Simon, BTW, I tried to donate $14,000 to you but it was rejected.
@@rodepet They're both amazing and SO 80s. The memories. :) Have you seen Neverending Story (the movie)? I was it at the theatre and was totally blown away. I own it now too. :)
@@celticlass8573 I think I've seen parts of neverending story on tv. But I don't really remember it. I'm from '87 so for sure couldn't have seen it in the theater.
I was a celebrity in grade 9 then lmao I had a "fan club" of 6th graders. Was weird. I was a goth kid who moved to a small town, so suddenly everyone in the entire school wanted to know me haha 15 years after graduating, people still talk about me. My brain feels weird thinking about this!!
@@Sylvirayne omg that made me cringe so hard 🤣 I've actually signed something for someone before, from here on TH-cam I'm told I need to be an entertainer, that ive got "charisma" and while I DO think I would enjoy voice acting or stuff like improv comedy but like... idk I feel like Simon, the idea of actually being a celebrity just feels cringe and I don't want it lmao Success is all well and good but fame scares me
Eta: okay after being told about it and looking more into it he was not faking and it's another example of people not understanding ambulatory wheelchair users. So that story annoys me in a whole different way. That last story bothers me so much. I'm disabled and can walk short distances but for longer distances and on bad pain days I might need a wheelchair, but dicks like that make people think that I'm a fake. Ambulatory wheelchair users are very common and walking as much as is safe for us is something we all try to do. It's bad enough when you stand up to reach something and someone accuses you of faking without having idiots actually fake it.
He didn't fake it that's the problem with how this episode ended they took the big noisy headlines and never fact checked the rest of it because people do forget about people like you who can walk sometimes but, a wheelchair can feel safer or just be outright needed the rest of the time.
@@N33k5 my first thought was did he actually fake it or is he actually an ambulatory user and people just jumped to the conclusion he was faking. But i dont know the story. So was it ever confirmed either way?
@@emilyduke4255 he has gone on record trying to correct the misinformation but, most of the places that initially reported are just online gossip rags and would never post a retraction without a lawyer getting involved and even then it would require finding who runs the sites to maybe get stuff taken down or corrected as the writers are mostly unpaid randos playing at being a "journalist." It's a lot more clicks to say a popular disabled streamer was faking a disability than to go back and say disability is nuanced and this guy wasn't actually faking it. Respectable and ethically ran sites would try to correct the record but, once a juicy clickbaity situation gets out it's hard to regain control especially, if you lose your platform and are getting hate bombed for being a liar on whatever remaining platforms you may be on. As we know getting Twitch to do anything is hard to impossible. There are high earners that still are allowed to keep streaming even with multiple violations but, smaller streamers with smaller violations or straight up misunderstandings that lose everything without any real recourse.
@@N33k5 thank you for the info. Its crazy how out of control things can get when people are willing to write anything for a few clicks! Can only imagine how difficult it would be to defend yourself against that
@@N33k5 I don't know. So he was making progress on his therapy, but kept it quiet? And when he got caught on a live stream, the immediate reaction was to try and obfuscate? Deflect? Make excuses? And even if everything they said was true, what would you expect to happen, because they had kept the whole situation quiet. If I was asking for donations, I would want to be honest about my situation. Then, instead of controversy and bans, I would be receiving encouragement, praise for my efforts, and probably still be getting donations. After all, people donate for less. You can hardly blame people for being cynical. The Internet is full of charlatans and scammers.
30:50 "You know, all those pre-packed sandwiches? They all gotta be made somewhere." No, Simon. That's not true. Sandwiches are delivered by the sandwich stork. You see, when a mommy sandwich and a daddy sandwich love each other, they ask the stork to deliver a little bundle of joy so that you can eat it.
But... th - the mayo. Are you suggesting that between the warm and sweaty mommy bread and daddy bread, between the meats squished between them - that this is, in truth, _not actually mayo??_
Nope. Completely wrong angle. The stork does deliver the baby sandwiches. And mommy and daddy sandwich do ask for the babies. As sacrifices so mommy and daddy can survive till mold or botulism takes them. You thought the last bit was dark lol
I looked away and was actually SHOCKED at the pink (ahem) addition to my screen. The real question is WHY THE EFF WAS I SURPRISED?? I consider my self an OGBB but still I can be surprised! Thanks guys!!
I kinda get the frustrating thing when you see an awesome scene in a trailer on tv for a movie coming out and then you go to the movie and you get to the end like … da faqu Where was that scene? It happens pretty regularly and most people just accept it. Not sure why major movie companies knowingly do this but it will be interesting to see how this case plays out.
It's deliberate, the trailer for Lord Of The Rings; The two towers contained so many plot points and twists that spoilerd the whole thing. So now production studios wil insert fake seance or slightly alterd ones. Marvel deliberately made fake trailers for endgame and infinity wars because of that.
My mother and I in 1971 went to see Love Story. My very proper Irish Catholic mom looked at the young usher with her beautiful blue eyes just looked at him with her guilt look and he handed over the money. Was hysterically funny. That was such a piece of crap movie.
Hey, big tip for the next one, don't do the ad spot on a cliffhanger bc I'm guaranteeing skipping it, do it b/t stories so it's more of a break. This isn't television.
With the ZillianOP stuff a youtuber called wavywebsurf did a whole in depth video about it where it explains a lot of the stuff mentioned with photos of Zillian in the wheelchair from a year before he created his twitch channel and lots of other stuff which makes me at least believe that it was just a temporary thing and physical therapy helped him regain use of his legs
Because of this video, I googled about how long The Beatles were active for, according to Wikipedia (which is never wrong, of course), it says that the Beatles were only active from 1960 to 1970 and that just blew my mind, as Simon said, they had a lot of success in an insanely short amount of time.
Not to mention, they fired drummer Pete Best while they were gigging in Germany in 1962. Fellow Liverpudlian Ringo Starr was asked to join, and the Fab Four as most of us know them were born.
Once I was streaming and had about 10 long-time viewers when my good friend, also one of my regular viewers, came to my house. Hearing me talking to the stream, he sneaked into the semi-dark room holding his finger to his lips. I was watching the chat and not the video, so I didn't see it until he grabbed me and roared loudly, scaring me so badly that I let out a full throated scream. My viewers were thrilled and said it was the greatest thing they'd ever seen streamed.
Part of me wants to side with the guy in a wheelchair. People who know nothing about disabilities believe that "blind" means you can't see anything at all and "wheelchair-bound" means you have no use of your legs at all. That's a horrible misconception that hurts the disabled community. STORY TIME! Both my mother and sister use a wheelchair. Both can walk to some degree, but not more than short distances. My sister has been harassed by people in stores who see her stand up from her chair to reach an item on the top shelf and then sit down again, shouting at her that if she "can walk" then she should not use the wheelchair space in the parking lot. They think she's just "lazy." The thing is, she has cerebral palsy and can walk around 100 steps before her legs turn to jelly, so yes, she DOES seriously need that wheelchair. My mother is less mobile, she had polio as a child in the 1950s and the muscles in her legs are basically not there anymore. Still, she can walk a little and will get up from the wheelchair to use the toilet at home, since it's a short distance away and the wheelchair is a PITA in such a small bathroom. There's no way she can walk around a store, but she can get up and take a few steps to get a cheese block from the deli. So I want to believe he has limited mobility. He obviously hid this fact from his fans, probably because people are bellends and harass chair-users who aren't 100% paralyzed (like how my sister gets Karens yelling at her if she DARES to stand up from her chair at the supermarket). Personal opinion: he could have used his platform to advocate for acceptance of people with limited mobility, rather than pretend he can't walk at all and dance around the fact that he actually can stand up from the chair. However, I get why he didn't. Able-body people with zero comprehension of disabilities are quick to judge and would be less willing to fork over money to get a chair for someone they think "doesn't really need it." If he had explained his condition better, this would have been avoided. The communal response to him DARING to stand up from the chair just proves how society punishes those who have limited abilities and not full-out disabilities. It's something I try to advocate, and it's disheartening to see just how many people respond with a knee-jerk reaction of intolerance and scorn. / this has been my Ted Talk, LOL!
Business Blaze is dead: tha name change foretold fo what was to come. Now we get... *this* A semi-blazing anchorman who doesn't do standing tangents anymore. Sad times we are living.

1. Ricardo is a celebrity that I have never heard of or really care about watching. 2. I could just see Simon spending hours a day for a week just eating Magic Spoon.
Simon talking about making pre-packed sandwiches and realizing someone has to make them.... I did that... I stood in a 0C room for 8 hours wearing a lab coat making 3k sandwiches a day... I got let go because i was too efferent and got put us 2 weeks ahead of schedule.

Yes, Sam!!! Once again you have me spitting my drink out at random times!! Dick ‘Ed of the week killed me!! 🤣 Near where I live is a place called “Nob End”…. I reckon you all should do a live podcast from there, Sam up there like a DJ, mixing it up and mashing up the finest memes!! 🎧🎙
Simon! wake up! how many channels do you yourself have? each one you receive a check for likely counts as individuals having output. by the way, I've been told that the eating channels, have( with no sexual content of any kind that I've seen)fetishes appeal. just saying, like manga in Japan, I can't remember the word for the particular type of sexual manga I mean but ... there, I went on a tangent damnit!
Zilianop was actually just a case of the internet jumping to conclusions (imagine that) I forget it was either gamerfrommars or wavywebsurf who did a deep dive into the incident. He was injured. But could stand/walk for short periods of time. I forget exactly what it was but he wasn’t totally lying, more just misrepresenting his ailment.
That last story about Angel is totally incorrect. He was in A wheelchair for two years after a horrible car accident, and while doing physical therapy he eventually gained the ability to walk. Yeah he probably could’ve handled the situation with a bit more class, but just saying that he’s a liar is wrong. Look up Patrick CC’s TH-cam video about him. He did an interview
As a former video game tester, it’s weird but it’s both entertaining and very boring… It’s boring because you are playing the same thing over and over again through all the different development releases, but personally, I ended up turning it into a game of seeing just how much I could crack the new version that the devs released to us. A few of us would have competitions to see just how many significant bugs we could find per week (significant bugs being those which drastically affected playability, either by crashing the game or resulting in a soft-lock, where the game is still running but you can’t proceed because of something like falling out of bounds and being unable to return to the main map)
Faking being paralysed is not surprising (in the US, at least). There have been people who faked having cancer to get sympathy and/or money. The one worse: saying their kid has cancer and literally convince the kid (in addition to shaving their head, etc) to the point the kid actually becomes physically weak and ill.
Why not do Simon watching movies he has not seen while... That way you can do the KFC eating for the first one, but do something else in all the others. Eat sushi while watching, crochet a hat while watching, show off your new zippos while watching. Endless possibilities :)
People were poking fun at the first guy because you dont need to read the contract to know they dont want you modifying a leased car. They almost always make it clear, especially if you're young. Its common enough knowledge its popped up in TV and movies. I know for sure American Dad had an episode where modifying a leased car was the side story.
The last one was incomplete. He actually was wheelchair bound but doing physical therapy. He actually did jump out of his chair. Wavywebsurfer has a video on it where he talks to him.
I'm always surprised that Simon and his team don't know non-English names. Like, with so much knowledge & research I forget they don't know everything.
It is an actual loss (in the US "harm") to be misled on a product, spend money on that product, and then realize that the product did not meet your expectations because you were misled. Just saying, that would be the grounds for the cinema lawsuit.
Yeah hi. I'm a wheelchair user. I can also walk. It's called being an ambulatory wheelchair user. don't be a jerk because you don't know someone's complete medical history.

Please consider bringing back the old format. It felt a lot more casual, and Simon walking around and making wild hand gestures really added to the beautiful chaos.
This is what I'd expect from Business named channel. I want chaotic (allegedly) cocaine Simon back.
I watch maybe 1/3 of the videos from this new format, I don't like it. And this 'bellend of the week' rubbish, forget it. I skip most the videos now.

Dunno about that twitch guy, but there are disabilities where you can both walk and need a wheelchair, depending on whether your disability is acting up. And some where you can walk badly, so usually use the chair for longer distance things. My husband's kinda similar with his visual impairment. Serious enough that he must read Braille or audio, not so serious that he can't tell bright colors apart or the difference between the sidewalk and the grass by looking.
Fakers just make life more difficult for people in the grey areas of disability.
Most wheelchair users can walk, just not that well. I’m physically disabled and only need a chair if I’m going to be on my feet for long periods of time.
I have damaged parts of my feet several times, and although I could limp while in recovery, it was often easier to crawl or wheel around.
The twitch guy apparently specifically said he was paralyzed from the waist down on his stream. In others words, straight up lying
@@MandaMalice Yeah, I remember one youtuber who had some rare connective-tissue disease where she /could/ walk, but really shouldn't because every step was like a month's worth of wear on the knees of a normal person, so when her fancy new wheelchair was delivered and she literally jumped for joy and ran to try it out, got a similar reaction -- except in her case the hate was unfounded.
I've seen the story on another channel, and supposedly has was in an accident, and was slowly regaining his ability to walk.
I'd definitely watch Simon review movies while drinking.
Oh my God, yes! In fact, if Danny could be on intercom from the dungeon, that would make it doubleplus good!
Wow. OK. This is a frigging great idea. Danny (if he actually exists somewhere other than the demented ravings of marching powder given human form) deserves to have a chance to fire back on his jailer.

I dunno. Simon do have an awesome voice but you want someone that is more of a comedian for that to work in more then a couple of episodes. Also, Simon's movie knowledge is rather limited to Star trek movies and The big Lebowski.
Of course you have the advantage that you can have Simon watch beloved classic everyone else seen for the first time but factboy's expertise in in cold reading.
I would rather watch Danny and Sam doing it from a cellar.

I can confirm game testing (called QA), is essentially playing making sure shit works consistently, so that might mean playing the same segment of the game 100 times, and if you find an issue you must be able to write exact steps on how to reproduce that issue so the devs can fix it. And then when the fix is submitted you gotta check you can't reproduce the issue anymore.
I've never been a QA tester, I'm a dev. being a QA must be horribly boring and soul sucking Dx
I have been games dev QA. This is 100 percent correct and accurate.
The number of horror stories I've heard about working QA would confirm that, yeah. Worst part is how shitty they're treated since they're totally disposable given the number of people trying to get into QA, either because they think it's a dream job where they get paid to play video games all day (lol) or they think it's a gateway to getting into actual game development. (Which is like thinking that being a janitor at JP Morgan is a gateway to getting into finance)
I had a temp job as a games tester. My first assignment was testing a hockey game, I know NOTHING about hockey, I didn't know if it was working right or not. It was very boring. Everyone around me was talking about all the bugs and visual glitches they were finding. I couldn't get it to do anything at all.
During training they joked if you pissed off the boss, you'd have to test the Dora the Explorer game. That first night I asked if I could test the Dora the Explorer game instead. I was informed it actually wasn't ready to test and that I had to test the hockey game. Instead, I quit Two nights of training, and a third night of a few hours actual testing and I quit. It was worse than data-entry, and didn't pay as well.
@@kvant13 in my experience it actually was a gateway into a development role. I think that only happened because I was an in house tester at a development studio where the career opportunities were open to me. In fact about 90 percent of the guys I was in QA with have now moved on to actual dev roles. Having said this, if you were unfortunate enough to be a QA tester for a faceless publisher then yes, your JP Morgan janitor analogy is spot on.
@@Shauma_llama This reminds of the Jeremy Clarkson Amstrad computer games reviews. Before Top Gear, Clarkson got a job as a low level games journalist and was assigned to review games that he didn't care about. The articles are a meandering mess and he was quickly pulled from the journal after only his second publication.

If it wasn't for the haste of his exit from the wheelchair I would have given him the benefit of the doubt as a significant percentage of longterm wheelchair users have some degree of mobility, my ex's daughter was permanently physically disabled and for the most part wheelchair bound enough so that we needed specially designed and constructed accommodation wide hallways, extra wide doors etc but also hand rails as she could actually walk, though by walk we're talking a minute or more, with walking stick or hand rails, to walk the 5 meters from her bedroom to the bathroom.
and of course, because she had this we'd frequently get some bellend Dr Google abusing us for using a disabled bay if they saw her unsteadily stepping out of the car and staggering a meter or two to the wheelchair - the past may be the worst but people are the worstest
My dad recently had a stroke and is using a wheelchair while he gets his strength back. Technically he can walk, but only briefly, and if he goes down he can’t get himself back up yet. There’s a huge range of mobility between “walks with crutches or a walker” and “legs don’t work.” I wish people would remember that.
It was said in another comment but he was in an accident and was recovering and going though physical therapy. He was towards the end of it when it happened and still needed it for the most part but he could walk short distances. His pet was chewing on some wires and I guess it was just a natural reaction. There’s a wavywebsurf video where he talks to him and there’s proof he needed it completely some time before he started streaming. Apparently twitch is giving him his channel back because he had receipts to back it up.
You can tell he had spent several years sitting from his "trucker body", BUT he still stands up pretty damn quick and steady for someone that was "just starting to recover".
He definitely spent more time in a wheel chair than someone just pretending, but had they not been making some effort to let everyone think he was permenetly stuck in that chair, it would have been a different story. Sure, there are plenty of internet children that would hate on a streamer for recovering from a disability, but not all. I'd think if Simon spent a year in a wheel chair due to some accident, in the very least THIS "community" would not demand he be banned for making progress in rehab, long as he didn't beg for donations because he'd "never walk again" months after successful rehab visits.
I very much want to develop an 'Un-wheelchair' that doesn't try to take over your life. Just a little help with that first 15 or 20 degrees when you need to stand up and not twist something. Haters can go stub one.

9:15 The number of livestreamers in China was slightly incorrect. In 2020 there were 617 million people in China on livestream platforms, but only 130 actual livestreamers.
That's still an absolutely insane number.
@@ErwinPommel Is it though? Considering how many people in the US use live streaming platforms, including this very site, I imagine that you would hit a similar ratio of user ship across all platforms. Also worth noting that live streaming covers a wide range of content from gaming, live vlogging, adult oriented content, eating and even sleeping. I should say though, I have no idea how that metric interprets sites like TH-cam which supports live streaming but the majority of content that the average user interacts with is pre-recorded.
130 million? Or only 130?
Came to the comments for this info, thank you!
Zilean op story is more complicated that this... He was recovering from a car crash.. it's a good thing that he was able to walk again, he should have been more upfront about his condition. Wavy web surf did a video on it.
Yeah, I think Wavy's coverage of this situation was a good, objective look at the whole of the situation. In the end his undoing was not being 100% upfront that he either still had or regained limited mobility.
I thought that "your car not being your property during a lease" was general knowledge.
Yeah, it's in the name, "Lease".
Right? It’s not though,
because many times during my career in mortgage, people would assume since their lease was about to be paid off, that the lender would exclude that payment from their debt to income ratio. Nope. When a lease ends, you’ll need to either pay the car off, finance the rest, or lease another car. Therefore, the ending of a lease will result in a new debt or huge layout of cash. Either way, your mortgage lender needs to account for that in your debts.

Simon needs to quit with this desk format because he is a stand up guy (allegedly)

If the dude could indeed only walk short distance, not uncommon for wheelchair users and sadly not recognized as such by most people, I can see the logic of hiding that fact, especially if you live in America and playing to people's compassion is the only way to be able to afford the medical care you require. It's still dodgy and doesn't foster good faith, but it makes sense.

Extra kudos to Sam for picking up the slack of energy the new format has. My friends, this is why content creators pay editors.

wavywebsurf done a update video on the wheelchair "fraud" if i recall correctly he had been hit by a car that paralysed him and he was undergoing therapy to walk again. At that stage of his treatment he could walk a small distance. But on the contrary his girlfriend saying omg then doing a cover story signals to me at least in my opinion that they knew he could walk even if only a short distance it would be in the best interest to keep playing the cant walk card.
oh shit didn’t realize that
Yea this story kinda hurts being recounted as "he was faking it all for money" when in reality most people who require a mobility aid; especially after a traumatic injury, will continue to need it for alot longer than just until they stand up. If anything it shows how insensitive and frenzied the internet can be, i don't blame the guy for not wanting his audience to know he was gaining mobility.. Imagine going to a convention or meet&greet and have every single one of them demanding he stand up for a picture or yelling that he's faking…
@@loralea3142 But at the same time if wasn't at least mostly about the money then wouldn't he be upfront about his recovery.
I know that just because someone is in a wheelchair, doesn't mean they absolutely 100% can't walk. And if what you're saying is true, that means they probably found one of the worst ways to handle the situation
@@Drejco515 he talked about how that was something he wished he’d done. Maybe he just didn’t feel it was anyones business. If I remember the wavywebsurf vid correctly he never really made it a thing on his streams.
I enjoy how all of your content is edited, they're all good for what it's based on. But Sam is clear off from the rest. By far the best with that bell end of the week intro.
That lawsuit over the Amazon rental made me recall the movie 2012. I think I should be due some compensation for enduring that movie even though I watched it on cable.
Imagine sitting in a bar with Simon, having a few ales, Simon telling stories of all the things cut from his videos, and the times he burst out laughing but couldn't say what he wanted to say.

Some patients who use wheelchairs are capable of walking small distances. my best friend is an incomplete quadriplegic who can walk limited distances, uses a walker, and if going longer distances a wheelchair. But this guy does look like a scammer.
Let's not go with things that "look" a certain way before we judge a situation
Postal Service fails would be Golden!!! I'm sure Danny could write a good rant or 70 for that.
Not really a livestream fail, but I was part of a livestream some years back where we were all getting drunk playing GTA Online, and after winning a race (**smugmode enable**), I absent-mindedly blew bubbles in my vodka lemonade forgetting I had a blummin' headset microphone by my mouth, and it sounded like someone dropped a wet fart on the stream, and for the next few hours it was just a teary-eyed gigglefest cos one person would start giggling again after going a bit quiet and we'd all start laughing again, never admitted to it to the guys directly, but they know now, fun times... :P
Having reached the end, well, at least I never set fire to my bedroom (well, not since I was 3 anyway!!!) or pretended to be a wheelchair user, they truly are utter bellends... :S
If you say something stupid during a lifestream, when it's over you say technical difficulties, edit it before you reupload it. Legends don't snitch

Eta: okay after being told about it and looking more into it he was not faking and it's another example of people not understanding ambulatory wheelchair users. So that story annoys me in a whole different way.
That last story bothers me so much. I'm disabled and can walk short distances but for longer distances and on bad pain days I might need a wheelchair, but dicks like that make people think that I'm a fake. Ambulatory wheelchair users are very common and walking as much as is safe for us is something we all try to do. It's bad enough when you stand up to reach something and someone accuses you of faking without having idiots actually fake it.
He didn't fake it that's the problem with how this episode ended they took the big noisy headlines and never fact checked the rest of it because people do forget about people like you who can walk sometimes but, a wheelchair can feel safer or just be outright needed the rest of the time.
@@N33k5 my first thought was did he actually fake it or is he actually an ambulatory user and people just jumped to the conclusion he was faking. But i dont know the story. So was it ever confirmed either way?
@@emilyduke4255 he has gone on record trying to correct the misinformation but, most of the places that initially reported are just online gossip rags and would never post a retraction without a lawyer getting involved and even then it would require finding who runs the sites to maybe get stuff taken down or corrected as the writers are mostly unpaid randos playing at being a "journalist." It's a lot more clicks to say a popular disabled streamer was faking a disability than to go back and say disability is nuanced and this guy wasn't actually faking it. Respectable and ethically ran sites would try to correct the record but, once a juicy clickbaity situation gets out it's hard to regain control especially, if you lose your platform and are getting hate bombed for being a liar on whatever remaining platforms you may be on. As we know getting Twitch to do anything is hard to impossible. There are high earners that still are allowed to keep streaming even with multiple violations but, smaller streamers with smaller violations or straight up misunderstandings that lose everything without any real recourse.
@@N33k5 thank you for the info. Its crazy how out of control things can get when people are willing to write anything for a few clicks! Can only imagine how difficult it would be to defend yourself against that
@@N33k5 I don't know. So he was making progress on his therapy, but kept it quiet? And when he got caught on a live stream, the immediate reaction was to try and obfuscate? Deflect? Make excuses? And even if everything they said was true, what would you expect to happen, because they had kept the whole situation quiet. If I was asking for donations, I would want to be honest about my situation. Then, instead of controversy and bans, I would be receiving encouragement, praise for my efforts, and probably still be getting donations. After all, people donate for less. You can hardly blame people for being cynical. The Internet is full of charlatans and scammers.
30:50 "You know, all those pre-packed sandwiches? They all gotta be made somewhere." No, Simon. That's not true. Sandwiches are delivered by the sandwich stork. You see, when a mommy sandwich and a daddy sandwich love each other, they ask the stork to deliver a little bundle of joy so that you can eat it.
😂 mommy 🥪 & daddy 🥪
Here I thought the sandwich faerie leaves them under your pillow in exchange for pickled eggs.
But... th - the mayo. Are you suggesting that between the warm and sweaty mommy bread and daddy bread, between the meats squished between them - that this is, in truth, _not actually mayo??_

I kinda get the frustrating thing when you see an awesome scene in a trailer on tv for a movie coming out and then you go to the movie and you get to the end like … da faqu
Where was that scene? It happens pretty regularly and most people just accept it. Not sure why major movie companies knowingly do this but it will be interesting to see how this case plays out.
It's deliberate, the trailer for Lord Of The Rings; The two towers contained so many plot points and twists that spoilerd the whole thing. So now production studios wil insert fake seance or slightly alterd ones. Marvel deliberately made fake trailers for endgame and infinity wars because of that.
My mother and I in 1971 went to see Love Story. My very proper Irish Catholic mom looked at the young usher with her beautiful blue eyes just looked at him with her guilt look and he handed over the money. Was hysterically funny. That was such a piece of crap movie.
Hey, big tip for the next one, don't do the ad spot on a cliffhanger bc I'm guaranteeing skipping it, do it b/t stories so it's more of a break. This isn't television.
With the ZillianOP stuff a youtuber called wavywebsurf did a whole in depth video about it where it explains a lot of the stuff mentioned with photos of Zillian in the wheelchair from a year before he created his twitch channel and lots of other stuff which makes me at least believe that it was just a temporary thing and physical therapy helped him regain use of his legs
Because of this video, I googled about how long The Beatles were active for, according to Wikipedia (which is never wrong, of course), it says that the Beatles were only active from 1960 to 1970 and that just blew my mind, as Simon said, they had a lot of success in an insanely short amount of time.
Not to mention, they fired drummer Pete Best while they were gigging in Germany in 1962. Fellow Liverpudlian Ringo Starr was asked to join, and the Fab Four as most of us know them were born.
Once I was streaming and had about 10 long-time viewers when my good friend, also one of my regular viewers, came to my house. Hearing me talking to the stream, he sneaked into the semi-dark room holding his finger to his lips. I was watching the chat and not the video, so I didn't see it until he grabbed me and roared loudly, scaring me so badly that I let out a full throated scream. My viewers were thrilled and said it was the greatest thing they'd ever seen streamed.
Part of me wants to side with the guy in a wheelchair. People who know nothing about disabilities believe that "blind" means you can't see anything at all and "wheelchair-bound" means you have no use of your legs at all. That's a horrible misconception that hurts the disabled community.
STORY TIME!
Both my mother and sister use a wheelchair. Both can walk to some degree, but not more than short distances. My sister has been harassed by people in stores who see her stand up from her chair to reach an item on the top shelf and then sit down again, shouting at her that if she "can walk" then she should not use the wheelchair space in the parking lot. They think she's just "lazy." The thing is, she has cerebral palsy and can walk around 100 steps before her legs turn to jelly, so yes, she DOES seriously need that wheelchair. My mother is less mobile, she had polio as a child in the 1950s and the muscles in her legs are basically not there anymore. Still, she can walk a little and will get up from the wheelchair to use the toilet at home, since it's a short distance away and the wheelchair is a PITA in such a small bathroom. There's no way she can walk around a store, but she can get up and take a few steps to get a cheese block from the deli.
So I want to believe he has limited mobility. He obviously hid this fact from his fans, probably because people are bellends and harass chair-users who aren't 100% paralyzed (like how my sister gets Karens yelling at her if she DARES to stand up from her chair at the supermarket).
Personal opinion: he could have used his platform to advocate for acceptance of people with limited mobility, rather than pretend he can't walk at all and dance around the fact that he actually can stand up from the chair. However, I get why he didn't. Able-body people with zero comprehension of disabilities are quick to judge and would be less willing to fork over money to get a chair for someone they think "doesn't really need it." If he had explained his condition better, this would have been avoided.
The communal response to him DARING to stand up from the chair just proves how society punishes those who have limited abilities and not full-out disabilities. It's something I try to advocate, and it's disheartening to see just how many people respond with a knee-jerk reaction of intolerance and scorn.
/ this has been my Ted Talk, LOL!
Ok I know I’ve missed several episodes, but what is up with the suit? Help please.
Business Blaze is dead: tha name change foretold fo what was to come.
Now we get... *this*
A semi-blazing anchorman who doesn't do standing tangents anymore.
Sad times we are living.
@@gera911 yeah I miss the standing and the rant walk. I didn’t realize it was tied to the name change. Thanks for the info.
Brain Blaze didn't get enough views 😱😱😭😭. So now we don't get our beloved intros anymore and fact boi wears a suit that makes him look even paler than he already is
1. Ricardo is a celebrity that I have never heard of or really care about watching.
2. I could just see Simon spending hours a day for a week just eating Magic Spoon.
Simon talking about making pre-packed sandwiches and realizing someone has to make them.... I did that... I stood in a 0C room for 8 hours wearing a lab coat making 3k sandwiches a day... I got let go because i was too efferent and got put us 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
Why is every title one of The Smith's songs? Danny and I, Same page
I was on the verge of soiling my drawers because of the "stinger"!
Sam!! The Majoras Mask screen! Fuckin meme lord! 👌👌
9:20 In June 2021, there were approximately 637.7 million live streaming users in China, representing a penetration rate of 63 percent among internet users. YY Live, Huya, and Huoshan were the major live streaming platforms in China.
Users including viewers?
Got no idea I googled how many live streamers in china
@@Notanothercrayon Yes.
I love how Simon has the vocabulary of an American Midwestern and the accent and diction of an Oxford Man!
Drives me lightly crazy 😂😅
AAAHH
Either Simon or this channel's editor have learned to drop the promo break right at a Cliffhanger!
P.S. Thank you for running both sponsors together. 🤓
“I can’t believe people have this level of incompetence!” Ah factboi. Never underestimate the pinnacle of incompetence humanity can achieve! Don’t forget, Florida is a place.
I would watch Simon eat and talk shit about stuff - or just getting progressively drunker instead and ranting about anything. 👍🏼

Yes, Sam!!! Once again you have me spitting my drink out at random times!! Dick ‘Ed of the week killed me!! 🤣
Near where I live is a place called “Nob End”…. I reckon you all should do a live podcast from there, Sam up there like a DJ, mixing it up and mashing up the finest memes!! 🎧🎙
Remember Simons Raid: Shadow Legends live stream? I do.
Simon! wake up! how many channels do you yourself have? each one you receive a check for likely counts as individuals having output. by the way, I've been told that the eating channels, have( with no sexual content of any kind that I've seen)fetishes appeal. just saying, like manga in Japan, I can't remember the word for the particular type of sexual manga I mean but ... there, I went on a tangent damnit!
Zilianop was actually just a case of the internet jumping to conclusions (imagine that) I forget it was either gamerfrommars or wavywebsurf who did a deep dive into the incident. He was injured. But could stand/walk for short periods of time. I forget exactly what it was but he wasn’t totally lying, more just misrepresenting his ailment.
That last story about Angel is totally incorrect. He was in A wheelchair for two years after a horrible car accident, and while doing physical therapy he eventually gained the ability to walk. Yeah he probably could’ve handled the situation with a bit more class, but just saying that he’s a liar is wrong.
Look up Patrick CC’s TH-cam video about him. He did an interview
As a former video game tester, it’s weird but it’s both entertaining and very boring… It’s boring because you are playing the same thing over and over again through all the different development releases, but personally, I ended up turning it into a game of seeing just how much I could crack the new version that the devs released to us. A few of us would have competitions to see just how many significant bugs we could find per week (significant bugs being those which drastically affected playability, either by crashing the game or resulting in a soft-lock, where the game is still running but you can’t proceed because of something like falling out of bounds and being unable to return to the main map)
Faking being paralysed is not surprising (in the US, at least). There have been people who faked having cancer to get sympathy and/or money. The one worse: saying their kid has cancer and literally convince the kid (in addition to shaving their head, etc) to the point the kid actually becomes physically weak and ill.
Why not do Simon watching movies he has not seen while...
That way you can do the KFC eating for the first one, but do something else in all the others. Eat sushi while watching, crochet a hat while watching, show off your new zippos while watching.
Endless possibilities :)
People were poking fun at the first guy because you dont need to read the contract to know they dont want you modifying a leased car. They almost always make it clear, especially if you're young. Its common enough knowledge its popped up in TV and movies. I know for sure American Dad had an episode where modifying a leased car was the side story.
The last one was incomplete. He actually was wheelchair bound but doing physical therapy. He actually did jump out of his chair. Wavywebsurfer has a video on it where he talks to him.
I'm always surprised that Simon and his team don't know non-English names. Like, with so much knowledge & research I forget they don't know everything.
It is an actual loss (in the US "harm") to be misled on a product, spend money on that product, and then realize that the product did not meet your expectations because you were misled. Just saying, that would be the grounds for the cinema lawsuit.
Yeah hi. I'm a wheelchair user. I can also walk. It's called being an ambulatory wheelchair user. don't be a jerk because you don't know someone's complete medical history.
A channel where you review ghost stories while eating kfc would be funny. It I would also have to get some kfc for while I watch it.
