Simon: I don’t know why these episodes are always so long Also Simon: fishing stories, deadliest catch mysterious, I should really observe Remembrance Day, if I was an insurance company, tangent, tangent, tangent! Never change Fact Boy, this is why I watch the show!
Personally I much prefer the long episodes. Part of the reason I watch is because Simon often has an interesting take on things that he's more than happy to share. Keep it up guys, someday this might be the Greatest TH-cam Channel ever... if it can topple Brain Blaze, turly the Greatest TH-cam Channel. Also, we need to get Simon called the Duke of TH-cam. It should be a thing.
New casual criminalist rule: "If standing trial for murder, you lose nothing by murdering the people set to testify against you, they cant hang you twice" -Simon
That sort of thing is actually a reason why the death penalty and three strikes laws are bad. If someone is already facing a maximum sentence for what they have already done the societal incentive to act in a peaceful way is drastically decreased.
@@zotha actually, if anything, this is more a reason why we should bring back execution by torture. "We cant hang you twice but we CAN make your death as unpleasant and long as possible"
@@zotha Yes, same reason why there should never be the death penalty for anything less than murder (like r#pe or child m0lestation), because why not kill the victim if their being a victim could get you executed anyway, and they'd be a witness to testify against you.
@@zotha Good point. I am overall opposed to it, in part because in my country (USA) folks have been wrongfully executed (though may have been guilty of crimes not egregious).
@@audreymuzingo933 Even with murder, I think the death penalty should be used only for particularly heinous cases. For example The murderer, not only premeditated the act, she took steps to clean up/remove evidence all the while keeping some of it around her home and living as if everything is normal.
A coroner once explained to me and a group of friends how "no body, no crime" works. You might find a person's arm, leg, hand with fingers and identify the person by jewelry (wedding ring or such) and tattoos or birthmarks, but not be able to declare that person dead/ murdered simply because a person can survive the loss of those limbs. If you found the guy's isolated head or torso... that's another story.
I hope you are OK Simon. I rely on you and the writers and editors at this point to bring highlights to my days. You should add a thanks option so we can tip you and the team!

Simon: "If ur going on trial for murder, and the way ur gonna get out of it is by murder, well, theyre already gonna put u away for murder, so kinda worth while in a way isnt it". Oh my, Simon has gone to the dark side.
Did you mean River Monsters instead of Deadliest Catch? If so, it’s 100% real, Jeremy goes to places that have legends of aquatic monsters, and tries to catch them. But he usually catches HUGE, dangerous fish, and then explains how they could be the source of the legends. I love the show because you learn a lot, and Jeremy is always very respectful and wants to learn about the culture of the areas he visits. Edit: typo
Me too! I didn't watch it until randomly house/dog sitting at a friend's. Couldn't find a remote & TV was on the channel. Suffice it to say I sat for 8 hrs glued to River Monsters. I didn't get into it until after the series ended, but nonetheless so good. I've since seen the reruns I believe. I did eventually find the remote for the remainder of my weekend house sitting & continued to watch as it was a marathon before the series finale aired.
@@luditukan2435 He had another series but it just didn't compare. It was more like "old man goes to cool places to fish" which was fine, but again just no River Monsters.
@@ImpmanPDX Few days ago I was struck with a 38C degree fever and going through channels found Jeremy and binged few episodes in couple hours.I adore that show,maybe I can check that other series too.
Fun fact: cannibalism isn't an actual crime. If you eat human meat, you've technically done nothing wrong, but if you're the one that cut up the body. You'd get convicted for desecration of a corpse. But if someone was to bring you meat that you did not realize was human and you ate it, you've committed no crime.
fun fact(s) for you, simon: ichthyology - pronounced “ick thee (th like in three) ology” comes from the greek word for fish, with sharks (and another cartilaginous fish) being part of the subgroup chondrichthyes, while bony fish (the ones that typically have covered gills and more feathery fins, like most fish you’d typically think of first) are classified osteichthyes thanks for all your great videos, i hope i could teach *you* something this time around!
Fun fact: On ANZAC Day we are also allowed to play this gambling game called Two Up at the returned serviceman clubs which the soldiers played in the trenches. The game is illegal any other day of the year. It's quite a spectacle when you get a good crowd haha.
I'm binging these in order and at this point I'm like "geez, how many episodes did you film in one day??" I feel like I've been looking at this blue sweater for ages!
1st time my dad took me fishing he caught a HUGE bass. He strung it and planted one end into the ground so the fish could be in the water till we could take it home. I decided that the geese were trying to eat it, so I best move it. I unstaked it, threw out the line he was attached to...and LET GO!!! That was the 1st time I saw tears in my dads eyes. I was 8.... 😭🤣
Loving these frequent videos, Simon! But as an Aussie, it's pronounced "Coo-Jee" Beach. It's a beautiful beach and suburb in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney (it should go without saying that it's also crazy expensive in terms of real estate) Edited to add - the ending of the video with the comment about pigs and #notlegaladvice (Robert Pickton vibes *shudder*) made me laugh way too hard. Amazing work, Fact Boy and Kevin!
As someone from Sydney I had to stop at the beginning of the video and scroll down to see if anyone else had complained about his pronunciation of Coogee.
30:08 nope, cannibalism is technically legal in most jurisdictions. Like good luck performing cannibalism without breaking some other law (murder, graverobbing, etc) but if you obtain the body legally and aren’t obligated to maintain it, then you can technically eat it. Also, if you are in a desperate enough situation for eating a human corpse to seem like a good idea, you’re unlikely to be charged even if it is illegal in your jurisdiction since starvation-induced desperation would constitute the cannibalism justified or at the very least temporary insanity
Simon I just wanted to raise something. In Australia we also mark Remembrance day (11:00am 11/11) with a minute silence etc. ANZAC day we mark with a dawn service which includes a minute silence. It is not just a day to have a BBQ and a day off, it is to commemorate those that have fallen in war, protection of our country or during peace time missions.
In Turkey they teach it as a day Australians mark because they were crushed during WWI. I can’t recall the exact name of the beach, but it’s near Galipolli.
Did one of your other channels do this story too? I swear I’ve heard you present this before. You’re the only channel conglomerate I watch this type of content from. Whatever it’s entertaining even if I have seen it before because chances are you’ve forgotten you’ve done it too and the different writers adding their story’s and waffle is always great
Dude I literally had a dream about this case last night. Couldnt remember details during my dream but I had a weird first person immersion dream that I was on the boat that reeled the shark in when it threw up the arm I remember waking up in a haunting sweat. So fucking creepy that you upload this exact case the next moring.
Australia observes rememberance day in November as well, we have a good mix of English customs + our own. I enjoy the longer episodes, often learn things I didn't know before :)
Whenever I hear "no body, no murder" I remember the murder of Karen Gaucke and her daughter. Her murderer Michael P. died in prison and never gave away her resting place. The dude never talked, but they found so much stuff it was clear what happened. Would be interesting to see this case on Casual Criminalist. edit: 15 years later and they still haven't found the bodies. They turned the whole city upside down and found a bunch of other bodies , but not the one they initially were looking for.
Thank you for including the fate of the shark ,poor creature ,I was wondering what became of it all the way through .The Deadliest Catch is / was 100% real and it served as therapy for me at one point .I was a chef back in the day ,working 16 hr days and it could get a bit brutal . It became a routine to stumble in from work just before 11pm ,collapse on the sofa and flick on the tv for an hour of zombieing out before bed .That hour of watching Alaska fishermen working harder than I was ,in more uncomfortable conditions ,soothed my ragged soul .Of course the ritual double vodka and coke helped too ( just 1 ) but those boys unwittingly made my aching back and screaming feet a little easier to put up with ,I'm still grateful .
Another awesome casual criminalist episode seriously a fave channel of mine. You probably already know but the US has Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Veterans Day is in November and more of a day for remembering and honoring veterans.
Simon, your beard is getting more glorious by the episode! Big ups to you and the team for the fantastic work you all do, now go have a well deserved mind break and a mug of something strong!
Lemon+honey+water. Boil the mix and consume at about the same temp as hot cocoa. That can help alleviate throat issues not related to having caught a bug.
Simon in his best Captain Haddock impression for this episode was a (probably unintended) nice touch for a tale of sharks. In other topics, why not get Kevin to cover the Nedlands murders? That's definitely a brutal case and one of Australia's most infamous serial killers
Gday Simon mate. LOVE THE SHOW!!! Just letting you know "Coogee" is pronounced "Coo,Gee" as in Gee whiz. Bewdy ripper mate. Keep it up from all the Skippys down under.
Important clarification, Simon: Americans also observe November 11th, we just call it "Veterans Day" instead of Armistice Day. Yes, it's a national holiday, on the same day as yours. Memorial Day is in May, and it's something completely different.
We call it remembrance day here in Australia, but yes also respected here. ANZAC day though is of cultural not just military significance. Beyond Gallipoli being a bloody mess it was our first war as a nation, Federation passed the house of commons in 1900 and became effective in 1901. So it's deeply tied with our sense of national identity not just the wars we've fought in.
The last time friends dragged me fishing I deliberately didn't get a license and was forced to not fish. Instead I hung out having booze and nerd talk with friends.
@@annasutton4029 I think I still have mine somewhere. It was one of those consistently discounted books from a store like Barnes and Noble. It was hardback and blue.
We're a Commonwealth country Simon, we do observe "Remembrance Day 11/11" as well as ANZAC Day. It's usually a more sedate affair. Good vid though....shorter is better 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was raised by a family of fisherman. I don't think I've ever come home empty-handed. I imagine fishing would be boring if you expected to never get anything.
After watching Des, you should do a video on The Muswell Hill murderer, Dennis Nilsen. I'd never heard of him, but murdered up to 15, boiled heads, kept bodies for months. Perfect for this channel
I don't think I ever heard of this case. Interesting one to say the least, I didn't expect it to be all the way out in Australia. Good short episode, can't believe it's not solved.
Happy Halloween everyone who celebrates today 🎉 I read/listen to a lot of Phryne Fisher books, so this was really interesting in many ways!! Hope your arms stay firmly attached.
Fact boi, if you haven't covered it on one of your many channels, you should cover the famous Norrmalmstorg robbery, the one that gave rise to the idea of Stockholm Syndrome. The entire situation is wild, with unbelievable amounts of police incompetence and dismissal of the victims' very valid concerns, but most people only know the pop culture version of the story. Also, nobody died or was seriously injured, so it would be a good emotional break.
I like the long form episodes, gives me time to fall asleep, just cause for some reason I find these type of stories soothing, like I fell asleep to the John Wayne Gacey episode
Simon cannibalism in itself isn't a crime in most places because it's impossible to do without murdering or maiming someone which are crimes in themselves, or you have to steal/desecrate a body. But if you were to say, get a limp amputated in some places you could totally chow down on it.
A lovely episode for Halloween. It's a shame that Simon was fed to a shark, ahem, I mean, fell into a shark tank, for what he said about that lovely man who totally wasn't a crime boss or anything.
Pigs are a nice touch but usually located near people. Gators wander more which might be a better choice, and they tend not to swallow things without gnashing them with their teeth. They like to chew their food a bit, or at least the baby ones at the local mini-golf do.
You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together. And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig". [Brick Top; Snatch]
For anyone else that somehow watched the show and didn't get it, yes, deadliest catch is real. Fisherman who had been featured on seasons of the show have ended up dying. Infact entire ships that have been featured on the show have gone down and there have even been instances were ships currently being spot lighted by the show have had to stop fishing to respond to may day calls from stricken vessels or called up by the coast guard to aid in rescue and recovery Sure some of the interpersonal play can be faked, but the work they do and the danger that goes with it is real
Simon: No F*cking Way! Me: that's the least weird thing I've heard of a tiger shark trying to eat. EDIT: predator fish often try to eat other fish caught on a line. They're in distress, so they're an easy meal. EDIT 2: Timestamp 10:04 Ah, that's more like it!
Anzac Day is mostly celebrated at the pub in Australia, and if you dont give proper respects in a lot of places you’ll most like get punched or glassed (idk if that’s what it’s called every where else, but being “glassed” involves smashing a beer glass on someone’s head, usually resulting in a lot of stitches)
@@mitchk6168 must be a country town thing. Closes at midnight on the 24th doesn't open until late on 25th, if it does at all. Everywhere else is closed, except the hospital.
Simon, your mention of pigs reminded me of 2 murders in the north of Michigan. In 1985 2 hunters from St. Clare Shores, MI, went up north to hunt for deer and never came home. They were beaten to death and fed to pigs. The only reason the murderers were caught was they couldn't keep their mouths shut! They did their talking in the local bar amongst the regulars. Someone came forward in 2003 to tell the state police what had happened. It was quite awful!
Aussies celebrate Anzac Day by waiting impatiently for midday (pubs open late out of respect for the Anzacs) then spending the arvo drinking & playing 2-up. No sharks involved!
In school we do a moment of silence for when each plane crashed on 9/11 which is great except we’re in the middle of class (or a test) so it just a really awkward moment while everyone is just waiting to get back to whatever we were doing four times
I saw Simon in a ms mojo video today..it was so strange. I had fallen asleep with YT droning on and somehow it landed on one about american horror story episodes and then there was a clip of Simon..talking about the black dahlia. Or was it the night Stalker? Cant remember i was sleepy
Bobbie Sue Terrell from Woodlawn Illinois took the lives of 13 people in just 12 days. Most serial killers have a "cooling off" period where they don't murder, but not Bobbie Sue. Please do this story. Its a good one.
Speaking of fishing at the start of this episode, while I don't recall the first time I ever went fishing I remember when I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade and my class went fishing and my dad was tagging along. While all the other kids were using worms as bait my dad had brought along hot dog buns for me to use as my bait. My classmates laughed at me saying that it was a stupid thing to use as bait. They didn't laugh as much when I was the first one to get a fish to bite and catch it. All of a sudden everyone wanted a piece of hot dog bun to use as bait xD
I assume the beach you're talking about is Coogie Beach. Which you would never guess by the spelling, but is pronounced "coul-jee" (as in, 'could' without the 'd', then jee)
In the Australian underworld, people keep their mouth shut. This is especially true for the older criminals still to this day. So it’s very likely that Reginald was killed by ANYONE in that underworld scene simply because he was testifying against (dogging on) someone. Nothing worse than being a “dog” among Aussie criminals!
Um. So this is a WEIRD statement, but bear with me, Simon -- that freckle at the top of your head? I've never seen it before in ANY of your other videos -- I'll go back to try and see if I'm wrong, but I'd suggest having it looked at by a dermatologist.
when I was a boy, the greatest thing that ever happened in my world was when dad would take me, JUST ME! Fishing. Oh those were wonderful times, we would sit on the river bank being very quiet so as not to scare the fish away, and while away the hours between catching fish and just fishing. So when I was married, I began taking my wife fishing, and since she had never been before I spent a LOT of time fixing her pole for her, baiting her hooks and such and much less time enjoying the sport. After my kids got of age to screw up their rods and reels every friggin five fucking seconds, I at long last quit fishing. Since I retired, I went once, on my own, all alone to those very banks where dad and I had so much joy so many years ago. Just for a few minutes it all came back, the peace, the quiet, the joy. Then the fucking game warden showed up and informed me that this particular hole that had been OUR spot was now on private property, and some change in the law over the last damn 40 years banned the public from accessing the river there! That was it. My fishing pole now sit in the corner of my garage. Tons of cobwebs and dirt cover the rods and reels so they are probably all seized up and useless, I am sure the fishing line is rotten and I no longer give a flying fuck about fishing. Ah for the good old days...
We also have a minutes silence at 11 on the 11 of November in Australia. Or we used to. Anzac Day used to be a day of remembrance, almost forgotten, but now it’s a weird jingoistic piss up.

It became a routine to stumble in from work just before 11pm ,collapse on the sofa and flick on the tv for an hour of zombieing out before bed .That hour of watching Alaska fishermen working harder than I was ,in more uncomfortable conditions ,soothed my ragged soul .Of course the ritual double vodka and coke helped too ( just 1 ) but those boys unwittingly made my aching back and screaming feet a little easier to put up with ,I'm still grateful .
Sure bro. Any restaurant worth their salt opens at 7am and the same "chef" is there the enrire time. You're so fos.
I'm a bartender I feel u. 🤗
@@cmaden78 Oh yes ,that's another one ,esp when the bar is slammed and there's 6 hours to closing .
Please don’t stop doing them 2 times a week, I’d get withdrawal!
I don't think we're in any danger of that
same but i think they'll keep this up this is one of their most popular channels
Another awesome casual criminalist episode seriously a fave channel of mine. You probably already know but the US has Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Veterans Day is in November and more of a day for remembering and honoring veterans.
Happy Halloween Simon and Crew!!
What's wrong with me that I usually don't flinch at these true crime stories but I feel quite sad for the shark?
I love listening to Simon when he does Australian stories… pronunciations are hilarious 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Several suspicious fires.
Insurance Company: 😪
Trying to insure your newborn.
Insurance Company: 😡
Simon, your beard is getting more glorious by the episode!
Big ups to you and the team for the fantastic work you all do, now go have a well deserved mind break and a mug of something strong!
Shocking that "Shark VPN" didn't seem to foist sponsorship on you for this🤷♂️
Lemon+honey+water. Boil the mix and consume at about the same temp as hot cocoa.
That can help alleviate throat issues not related to having caught a bug.
Simon "I don't know how some of these episodes reached 3 hours" also Simon {talks about random fishing experiences for the first five minutes} 😂❤
I come for the intros and stay for the jokes by the editor at Simon's expense
Simon in his best Captain Haddock impression for this episode was a (probably unintended) nice touch for a tale of sharks. In other topics, why not get Kevin to cover the Nedlands murders? That's definitely a brutal case and one of Australia's most infamous serial killers
Gday Simon mate. LOVE THE SHOW!!! Just letting you know "Coogee" is pronounced "Coo,Gee" as in Gee whiz. Bewdy ripper mate. Keep it up from all the Skippys down under.
Important clarification, Simon: Americans also observe November 11th, we just call it "Veterans Day" instead of Armistice Day. Yes, it's a national holiday, on the same day as yours. Memorial Day is in May, and it's something completely different.
We call it remembrance day here in Australia, but yes also respected here. ANZAC day though is of cultural not just military significance. Beyond Gallipoli being a bloody mess it was our first war as a nation, Federation passed the house of commons in 1900 and became effective in 1901. So it's deeply tied with our sense of national identity not just the wars we've fought in.
omg !! I've been hoping youd do this case for ages 😊😊 i think its so curious
The last time friends dragged me fishing I deliberately didn't get a license and was forced to not fish. Instead I hung out having booze and nerd talk with friends.
😂
My grandad told me I was too loud to fish. Now that I am grown, I completely understand that he just wanted his peace & quiet.
Simon I love the way you say “Coogee” 😅❤️
I read about the arm in the shark over twenty years ago. I'm amazed it wasn't more well known.
Me too.
I remember it in a book of true crime short stories!
@@annasutton4029 I think I still have mine somewhere. It was one of those consistently discounted books from a store like Barnes and Noble. It was hardback and blue.
I love it when I see a new CasCrim pop up and it's something I've heard of so I can listen to Simon's reaction 😂😂
We're a Commonwealth country Simon, we do observe "Remembrance Day 11/11" as well as ANZAC Day. It's usually a more sedate affair. Good vid though....shorter is better 🤣🤣🤣🤣
A nice lighter épisode for Simon. Thank you Kevin !
I was raised by a family of fisherman. I don't think I've ever come home empty-handed. I imagine fishing would be boring if you expected to never get anything.
After watching Des, you should do a video on The Muswell Hill murderer, Dennis Nilsen. I'd never heard of him, but murdered up to 15, boiled heads, kept bodies for months. Perfect for this channel
When you said 'boxers' my first thought was neither boxes nor Mohammed Ali, I thought he was one of those people who gets tattoos of their dogs.
Happy for a nice calm mystery, and only one (two, possibly 3 or 4... allegedly) murders. Thanks for the palette cleanse Kevin! 🤗
More 3-hour episodes please.
I love super long episodes.
God, you've gave me back all them memories of silent minutes stood in class trying not to laugh lest the teacher kill😂
I don't think I ever heard of this case. Interesting one to say the least, I didn't expect it to be all the way out in Australia. Good short episode, can't believe it's not solved.
Happy Halloween everyone who celebrates today 🎉
I read/listen to a lot of Phryne Fisher books, so this was really interesting in many ways!!
Hope your arms stay firmly attached.
Fact boi, if you haven't covered it on one of your many channels, you should cover the famous Norrmalmstorg robbery, the one that gave rise to the idea of Stockholm Syndrome. The entire situation is wild, with unbelievable amounts of police incompetence and dismissal of the victims' very valid concerns, but most people only know the pop culture version of the story. Also, nobody died or was seriously injured, so it would be a good emotional break.
I’m sorry that you don’t feel good, but your sweater is amazing.
We love those three hour videos Simon.
I like the long form episodes, gives me time to fall asleep, just cause for some reason I find these type of stories soothing, like I fell asleep to the John Wayne Gacey episode
Simon cannibalism in itself isn't a crime in most places because it's impossible to do without murdering or maiming someone which are crimes in themselves, or you have to steal/desecrate a body. But if you were to say, get a limp amputated in some places you could totally chow down on it.
Then why is necrophilia illegal? If you can eat a body, why can’t you bone it?
The day Simon retires is the day Simon starts a fishing podcast
A lovely episode for Halloween.
It's a shame that Simon was fed to a shark, ahem, I mean, fell into a shark tank, for what he said about that lovely man who totally wasn't a crime boss or anything.
Joke kinda falls flat regarding the timespan
My absolute favourite upload notification!🥰
Pigs are a nice touch but usually located near people. Gators wander more which might be a better choice, and they tend not to swallow things without gnashing them with their teeth. They like to chew their food a bit, or at least the baby ones at the local mini-golf do.
You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig". [Brick Top; Snatch]
Dear lord what horror are we going to be exposed to today?
Its a good one!!! (Good as in horrible...)
For anyone else that somehow watched the show and didn't get it, yes, deadliest catch is real. Fisherman who had been featured on seasons of the show have ended up dying. Infact entire ships that have been featured on the show have gone down and there have even been instances were ships currently being spot lighted by the show have had to stop fishing to respond to may day calls from stricken vessels or called up by the coast guard to aid in rescue and recovery
Sure some of the interpersonal play can be faked, but the work they do and the danger that goes with it is real
Simon: No F*cking Way!
Me: that's the least weird thing I've heard of a tiger shark trying to eat.
EDIT: predator fish often try to eat other fish caught on a line. They're in distress, so they're an easy meal.
EDIT 2: Timestamp 10:04 Ah, that's more like it!
In my opinion, these episodes could do with being longer 😂
The long ones seem to do really well, so that has been the trend. This one was a shorter story though
The minute I heard Simon's pronunciation of Coogee, I snorted so hard it woke up my cat
I'm still giggling over it
Anzac Day is mostly celebrated at the pub in Australia, and if you dont give proper respects in a lot of places you’ll most like get punched or glassed (idk if that’s what it’s called every where else, but being “glassed” involves smashing a beer glass on someone’s head, usually resulting in a lot of stitches)
Most places are closed until at least 1 p m on ANZAC day
@@heathergarnham9555 nah not Sydney pubs on Anzac Day. It’s 2 up till the cows come home
@@mitchk6168 must be a country town thing. Closes at midnight on the 24th doesn't open until late on 25th, if it does at all. Everywhere else is closed, except the hospital.
Simon, your mention of pigs reminded me of 2 murders in the north of Michigan. In 1985 2 hunters from St. Clare Shores, MI, went up north to hunt for deer and never came home. They were beaten to death and fed to pigs. The only reason the murderers were caught was they couldn't keep their mouths shut! They did their talking in the local bar amongst the regulars. Someone came forward in 2003 to tell the state police what had happened. It was quite awful!
Aussies celebrate Anzac Day by waiting impatiently for midday (pubs open late out of respect for the Anzacs) then spending the arvo drinking & playing 2-up. No sharks involved!
Fact boi: scary countries be scary.
Cheers, Simon!
In school we do a moment of silence for when each plane crashed on 9/11 which is great except we’re in the middle of class (or a test) so it just a really awkward moment while everyone is just waiting to get back to whatever we were doing four times
I saw Simon in a ms mojo video today..it was so strange. I had fallen asleep with YT droning on and somehow it landed on one about american horror story episodes and then there was a clip of Simon..talking about the black dahlia.
Or was it the night Stalker? Cant remember i was sleepy
Jen leaving the "whoops" in the video and zooming in on it made me giggle
Wasn’t that the harbour all the tea was dumped into? *angry British noise intensifies 😂
Bobbie Sue Terrell from Woodlawn Illinois took the lives of 13 people in just 12 days. Most serial killers have a "cooling off" period where they don't murder, but not Bobbie Sue. Please do this story. Its a good one.
Speaking of fishing at the start of this episode, while I don't recall the first time I ever went fishing I remember when I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade and my class went fishing and my dad was tagging along. While all the other kids were using worms as bait my dad had brought along hot dog buns for me to use as my bait. My classmates laughed at me saying that it was a stupid thing to use as bait. They didn't laugh as much when I was the first one to get a fish to bite and catch it. All of a sudden everyone wanted a piece of hot dog bun to use as bait xD
I assume the beach you're talking about is Coogie Beach. Which you would never guess by the spelling, but is pronounced "coul-jee" (as in, 'could' without the 'd', then jee)
👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣 best joke at the end
In the Australian underworld, people keep their mouth shut. This is especially true for the older criminals still to this day. So it’s very likely that Reginald was killed by ANYONE in that underworld scene simply because he was testifying against (dogging on) someone. Nothing worse than being a “dog” among Aussie criminals!
Only the second time I've seen this case covered. The first one was on Buzzfeed unsolved.
Coo-gee?! Noooooo it’s pronounced COOD-GEE. Like could without the L. And gee as in jeez! 😂 bloody Simon
Um. So this is a WEIRD statement, but bear with me, Simon -- that freckle at the top of your head? I've never seen it before in ANY of your other videos -- I'll go back to try and see if I'm wrong, but I'd suggest having it looked at by a dermatologist.
As an Australian I am loving the way he is pronouncing Coogee
Loveyour fishing story with dad😊❤
when I was a boy, the greatest thing that ever happened in my world was when dad would take me, JUST ME! Fishing. Oh those were wonderful times, we would sit on the river bank being very quiet so as not to scare the fish away, and while away the hours between catching fish and just fishing. So when I was married, I began taking my wife fishing, and since she had never been before I spent a LOT of time fixing her pole for her, baiting her hooks and such and much less time enjoying the sport. After my kids got of age to screw up their rods and reels every friggin five fucking seconds, I at long last quit fishing. Since I retired, I went once, on my own, all alone to those very banks where dad and I had so much joy so many years ago. Just for a few minutes it all came back, the peace, the quiet, the joy. Then the fucking game warden showed up and informed me that this particular hole that had been OUR spot was now on private property, and some change in the law over the last damn 40 years banned the public from accessing the river there! That was it. My fishing pole now sit in the corner of my garage. Tons of cobwebs and dirt cover the rods and reels so they are probably all seized up and useless, I am sure the fishing line is rotten and I no longer give a flying fuck about fishing. Ah for the good old days...
Coogee is pronounced coo-ji 😂
Love ya whistle man
hello Simon!!!!!!!. Happy Halloween!!!
I fish weekly and release them and Simon's "none of that catch in release shit" made me laugh.
We also have a minutes silence at 11 on the 11 of November in Australia. Or we used to. Anzac Day used to be a day of remembrance, almost forgotten, but now it’s a weird jingoistic piss up.
