I always love listening to Simon talk about his love of cereal as a kid and now as an adult thanks to magic spoon knowing that i am only a couple years older than Simon and i was THAT kid that didnt go for the sweet cereal i wanted the plain puffed wheat. Now i love snacking on a bowl of magic spoon half chocolate and half peanut butter.
@@jjlpinct it’s been attributed to the British economist John Maynard Keynes: “The old saying holds. Owe your banker £1000 and you are at his mercy; owe him £1 million and the position is reversed.”
*sasses Kevin for still being in the introduction* *has spent twice as long tangent-ing than reading the script* Never change factboy , and writers never truncate your introductions.
Note To All Writers: Make the intro's AS LONG AS POSSIBLE. We want them, Simon goes batshit crazy over them, and you get paid more. This is the trifecta of wins.
In the early 20th century, the dairy industry lobbied to have "peanut butter" banned, because "butter" should be a dairy product, so they called it "peanut paste". This happened in Australia. "Peanut meal" is what you have left after you extract the oil from peanuts, also called "groundnut meal." It's used to feed livestock.
In Germany peanut paste is like peanut butter without sugar and less creamy, while the butter goes on bread, the paste is for making sauces, etc. And I think all plant based "milk" has to be called "drink" instead of milk, all across the EU.
Simon: does a video on how Nestle has killed millions of babies No one goes to jail because "oh noooo, oops, they "just" did a little false advertising Also Simon: do billionaires really get away with crimes that affect more people??? Lol
Simon again: going to prison must be a terrible change for billionaires. I almost burst out laughing when he said that, he must not realize there are special white collar prisons and prison cells.
@@aceundead4750 also him not realizing that people who were essentially forced into taking a plea despite their innocence, people who are in for having a small amount of weed, and murderers are all in the same jail when they are poor....... I'm glad he at least stopped referring to some prisons as "rape prison" 🙄 That drove me fucking crazy
@@aceundead4750 Lmao i just commented about that lol. Simon imagining the 'Billionaire to inmate' transition.. "Shsssshhh😬.. This didnt work out brilliantly"😂🤦♂️
Simon: I consider myself a professional professional youtuber Also Simon: I kinda ate all the cereal bars I need for the advert.... Also Simon: Which I'm not going to name in case I'm wrong and I'm not going to check either 🤣
There's a scale made by some psychologist dude in America that featured on the show "Most Evil" that ranked murderers based on a series of factors. I think it went from 1 (A complete accident with clear and sincere remorse) to 22 (Unrepentant mass murderer who tortured their victims).
Poor Kevin, swoops in to give Danny a free moment for a breath of fresh air from under the basement door....aaand Danny still gets the spot in the end credits. You've truly taken one for the team there Kev. 😅 Great writing as always though 😉
hearing 'its Brittney b****' at 0.09 with the thumbnail being THE MERCHENT OF DEATH after the Brittney griner trade got me thinking I'm in an alternate reality💀💀

Yeah. The older you are the more likely it is you are a conservative. That doesn't necessarily mean people become more conservative as they get older though. It could be that conservatives promote more of what people of those generations want. It could be democrats are more likely to die young. It could be democrats just vote less as they age or vice versa.
I've definitely been more conservative as I got older. Not because I agree with conservatives, but because I've realized how much both sides are just straight crooks.
I'm willing to bet you're more centerist (because you have common sense) than "left" or "right" The idea that you must be one or the other is insidious, and purposeful, as it makes it easier for "political elites" to divide us up. Don't fall for the foolishness, my friend. What you are is a normal person, with the ability to think and reason for yourself!
Your first day in the general population, and everyone is asking about your papers..."What are you in for, Boi?" --'"Go easy, dude...That guy killed a lot of people!" "No shit...Serial killer?"" ---"Nope. Peanut Butter!"
When I was in high school, I did something (honestly can’t remember what, but there was a lot of “you must respect me bc I’m the adult, and 17-year-olds don’t count as people” type of thing happening in my house, and while I definitely felt bad after the fact for some of what I said or did, I do remember that whatever this one was, I did not at all feel I had done wrong afterwards either haha) and my dad decided that my punishment was to write him an essay on respect, why it’s important, etc. So….I wrote an essay about how everyone deserves respect in the sense of honoring basic human dignity, but that beyond that, respect needed to be earned rather than taken for granted 😂 I also feel like the philosophy of “respect your elders” relies on an old-school belief in the inherent importance/“rightness” of authority figures, which I really think younger millennials and the generations after that tend to be lacking. Even Simon talks about asking for proof if someone says they’re a cop, or if they’re coming to work on the utilities, or whatever. Older generations were brought up to respect authority figures on principle, so they wouldn’t question doctors or go looking for second opinions. They didn’t ask for proof that you were a cop when someone falsely pulled them over and then attacked them. You don’t often hear about young people falling for phone scams or clicking on random email links, bc we grew up reading history books about Japanese internment camps and the Holocaust. Maybe we’re too cynical, but that does mean we’re a lot harder to trick. And if that means we question authority rather than follow it, well- we learned in school just how bad things can get when you blindly follow the leader. Obviously there’s still peer pressure and social conformity and whatnot, but I genuinely believe that as a whole, we’re a lot less likely to take a random person at their word just because they say they know a lot, and I don’t feel bad about that.
at about 4:00 factboy did a rant on respect: the definitions of words change over time as the use changes. I remember getting in trouble as a kid and having to write the definition of respect like 1000 times and I still remember that definition verbatim. A few years ago I noticed that the definition had changed and now includes "due regard" or basically common courtesy. Basically what happened is people used the word wrong for so long that it now has an additional definition that everyone is entitled to.
There's a new saying that sums it up well. "If you won't treat me with respect I won't treat you with respect." Which translates to, "If you don't treat me as an authority I won't treat you as a person."
So a future note here… we just made a prisoner exchange with Russia (12/08/2022) we exchanged This guy for Brittany Griner a WNBA player that got caught on the Russian border with a vape pen…. 4:50 We traded the merchant of death for a woman who smokes weed and plays basketball… hmmm that just doesn’t seem right…. Wish us luck here in the future Later edit: we could have gotten a marine that was there on a vacation visa that had not sold billions ofAmerican dollars of weapons and actually provided a service to our country
On the subject of getting old ,in 10 yrs I have gone from "Yeah I'm still pretty young" to "Wtf is going on ? Why don't I understand anything anymore ? Wth is that kid talking about ? (No not you ) and where did I put my damn glasses ? " It sneaks up on you awfully fast .Next thing I know I'm going to be shouting at random birds for pooping on my fence and poking things with a walking stick I don't have yet .It's some consolation to find I agree with you young uns quite often ,maybe I'm not quite ready for the tar pits just yet ;-)

The line from the arms dealer movie. Dictator says, "They call me the Lord of War" Arms dealer corrects him, "It war lord". Later in the movie Dictaor says " They call me Lord of War but I think that is you", Just before the arms dealer gets busted.
Yeah, Simon, I’m stuck in my old, 60 year old, ways: for example, I believe in a woman’s right to control her own body when she is pregnant . Yes, I’m from the US.
Seems like what I like to do as well at times (in Germany). Calling myself "conservative" because I'm pro socialiced healthcare (and don't want it dismantled further) and believe the railway was way better before it was (semi-)privatized.
"Mail Fraud" is "used the US Postal Service to facilitate a crime". So anything illegal involving scam letters are also federal crimes by default. Which is why scams that know US law use private currier companies and used to tell you to use services like Western Union to send money instead of mailing them checks.
I'm so happy to see that Kevin is learning the fine art of 10 minute (or longer) intros from Danny. Let's see how long they can get away with it, before Simon catches on and gets pissed and goes on a rant. Said rant will cause the intro to go on and on and on.... 😉
I remember hearing this saying from somewhere, "There is no ethical billionaire." The meaning being you could help out so many people without even feeling the difference to your own life and your children's life with that much money but people are just keeping it for pride and greed.
Normally this is the part where people would cite Bill Gates' altruism but, while that point still stands, he's far from ethical now that we've gotten a closer look at his personal life.
I think the Iron Man quote goes something like: Reporter: Mr. Stark what do you say to those who call you the Da Vince of our time? Tony Stark: Ridiculous, I don't paint. Reporter: What about the Merchant of Death Stark: That's pretty good.
Without sponsors he wouldn't get paid to bring the content. Just keep that in mind. He works too hard on this stuff to do it for free and it cost you 0.😁
@Mickey Holmes true. It doesn't bother me that he's chewing. I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it and I get the idea that they want him to eat it on screen and show that he's actually enjoying it. So okay ... I'll give you that one. 😆 Maybe he could chew with the Box up over the mouth parts. 🤣😂
The US judicial system is making no sense but Simons sense of crime and punishment makes no sense either. International illegal arms dealer gets 25 years: "it's not the same as murder, he shouldn't go to prison for life" Guy who scammed people out of their savings with a ponzi scheme goes to jail for life: "Good, he deserves it." All of the people on the list today deserve to go to prison for life. But Madoff is least terrible one here.
What do you do? "Air freight".. What do you do? "Import-export".. What do you do??? "CRIMES JESUS.. What do you wan.. CRIMES.. OK?? CRIMES!!!" 😂😂😂 Fact-boi never fails with the laughs
Lol right?? I put in at least 2spoonfuls per bowl and eat Oreos or Chips Ahoy or just bites of chocolate with the cereal. But yeah I'd try Magic Spoon but $10 a box? One question Simon, do they take food stamps?
@@MichaelOKC lol I mean to other countries. In the US, anyone can sell the sacred guns to anyone else lol. Though War Dogs is based on a true story, if you have ever seen it. If I remember correctly, they only got in trouble because the stuff was Chinese, not Russian.
Actually all but one of the US presidents were alive DURING the Jim crow era. And a lot of the house and Senate. Voters are slowly shifting out of that mentally, but the people making the laws aren't 🙄
Woo! Glad at least one person got it. Did you actually get to see it though? I thought their numismatics collection was held completely secret and off limits to the public?
As someone with severe misophonia, I always have to start these videos with the volume all the way down just in case the sponsor is Magic Spoon. Today I'm glad I did.
At 29:21 - A thing about the correctional department that you might not know. (My father is a retired corrections officer, so he told me a thing or two.) Both State and Federal prison systems have Minimum, Medium, and Maximum security prisons. The breakdown of who goes to which involves a few things, but the two that make the most sense to people outside the system are how heinous the crime was, and how much time the convict will serve. People who are serving life sentences (ballpark of 25+) and death sentences are sent to Maximum Security. They are going to be there for a long time, so there is nothing left to lose. As such... A "white collar" crime that gets what amounts to a life sentence, and a violent crime that gets a life sentence, will earn both perpetrators time in a Maximum security prison. Life is life. As much as some people would think that "but this one didn't commit a violent offense! Surely he shouldn't be in the same place as violent offenders!" sort of makes sense, that isn't how it works. Life is life, and Maximum is Maximum. They are in it together, for better or for worse.
Hi Simon. Love your videos (all channels). Can you please release some merch with your catphrases? 'What are you doing?!' 'Don't write down your crimes!' 'Allegedly'
i have misophonia and the sound of people chewing usually makes me want to punch a baby. but when factboi is going to town on a bowl of magic spoon, it's strangely soothing.
Listening to the ‘Redhanded’ True Crime podcast and the hosts Hannah Maguire and Suruthi Bala mentioned Simon in their show as they have a total crush on him ! They love ALL of your channels - as do I, and the fact that they’re Whistle-Boy fans makes me love them all the more !! 😂😂 They were listening to a Geographics episode on Indonesia with the super volcano, and the fact that it has the biggest lake in a volcano crater there. They were saying that ‘Simon says’ if that super volcano was to blow then civilisation could be completely wiped out depending on the direction of the winds at the time of eruption…😮😮 I’m going to watch that episode after this and completely scare myself silly..😂😂
Robert Rosso was in the same medical wing at Butner NC, with Bernie Madoff, and said he is actually very respected among other prisoners, mainly stays to himself, and only did 1 interview while in prison, but they still have not allowed it to be released. Rosso also said he has 0 remorse, and loved watching himself on the TV in the commons room.
It is not merely Simon-sidebars for which one holds out hope, but many in the introduction becoming a motif withal. This was a better, more completely realised experience.
My mom and little sister were apart of the salmonella poisoning lawsuit in 07. My mom was in icu for 2 weeks and lost part of her small intestines. She died (unrelated to the salmonella) before the lawsuit was finalized.
The real issue with Griner, was she was allowed to do sign a million dollar contract to work in Russia, when most businesses aren't allowed to and would face penalties. If the sanctions had been uniform, and special privileges not made, the situation wouldn't have happened
I got so annoyed with people defending her because a Russian team would pay her more than a US team. Fine, then move there. I'm not saying she's totally to blame for her predicament, but it's like 90% her fault. I think we give too much leeway to most professional athletes. Far too many are abusers, addicts and have done things that would get the average person fired and most likely a prison sentence.
Wasn't the bloke who was convicted for the Lockerbie bombing set up, tho? I vaguely remember there being a load of articles in the rags at the time alternating between "he's literally hitler" and "he also totally didn't do it". Was a weird week. O.o

When I was in high school, I did something (honestly can’t remember what, but there was a lot of “you must respect me bc I’m the adult, and 17-year-olds don’t count as people” type of thing happening in my house, and while I definitely felt bad after the fact for some of what I said or did, I do remember that whatever this one was, I did not at all feel I had done wrong afterwards either haha) and my dad decided that my punishment was to write him an essay on respect, why it’s important, etc.
So….I wrote an essay about how everyone deserves respect in the sense of honoring basic human dignity, but that beyond that, respect needed to be earned rather than taken for granted 😂
I also feel like the philosophy of “respect your elders” relies on an old-school belief in the inherent importance/“rightness” of authority figures, which I really think younger millennials and the generations after that tend to be lacking.

Me: “The Scottish Government are smoking crack every day…allegedly”
Thank you from pulling way back from the idea that Madoff's sons dying had a "silver lining."
😬"Shhhssshhh"
..."This didnt work out brilliantly"...
😅😅😅
Simon's depiction of the 'Billionaire to Inmate' transition was gold lolol
"Mail Fraud" is "used the US Postal Service to facilitate a crime". So anything illegal involving scam letters are also federal crimes by default. Which is why scams that know US law use private currier companies and used to tell you to use services like Western Union to send money instead of mailing them checks.
I'm so happy to see that Kevin is learning the fine art of 10 minute (or longer) intros from Danny. Let's see how long they can get away with it, before Simon catches on and gets pissed and goes on a rant. Said rant will cause the intro to go on and on and on.... 😉
Since Simon has started doing his reads sitting down - and doesn’t have to wear anything below the waist - he’s mellowed slightly.
I thought in the past Simon agreed Kylie Jenner was a self-made billionaire without irony.
If Simon was a coke dealer he'd be standing on the corner with a bunch of empty plastic bags.
This comment made me do a spit take. Well done 👍
I remember hearing this saying from somewhere, "There is no ethical billionaire." The meaning being you could help out so many people without even feeling the difference to your own life and your children's life with that much money but people are just keeping it for pride and greed.
Normally this is the part where people would cite Bill Gates' altruism but, while that point still stands, he's far from ethical now that we've gotten a closer look at his personal life.
I think the Iron Man quote goes something like:
Reporter: Mr. Stark what do you say to those who call you the Da Vince of our time?
Tony Stark: Ridiculous, I don't paint.
Reporter: What about the Merchant of Death
Stark: That's pretty good.
Peanut Guy: "I can't afford to lose another customer!"
Also Peanut Guy: *Ships toxic peanut butter and kills 9 customers.
the most entertaining youtube creators these people are ❤
Love frosted Magic Spoon both as cereal and as marshmallow square treats.
Kevin got his knuckles rapped a lot for this script. Bad Kevin, bad. Back to the dungeon and no gruel tonight.
Thank you for making the sponsor easier to skip. Take that l thumbs up.
Without sponsors he wouldn't get paid to bring the content.
Just keep that in mind.
He works too hard on this stuff to do it for free and it cost you 0.😁
@Mickey Holmes would you rather watch an add you can't skip?🤔
@@MadDragon75 I don't have ads on pc so...
@Mickey Holmes yes no need to have a asmr of that thanks!
@Mickey Holmes true. It doesn't bother me that he's chewing.
I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it and I get the idea that they want him to eat it on screen and show that he's actually enjoying it.
So okay ... I'll give you that one. 😆
Maybe he could chew with the Box up over the mouth parts. 🤣😂
The US judicial system is making no sense but Simons sense of crime and punishment makes no sense either.
International illegal arms dealer gets 25 years: "it's not the same as murder, he shouldn't go to prison for life"
Guy who scammed people out of their savings with a ponzi scheme goes to jail for life: "Good, he deserves it."
All of the people on the list today deserve to go to prison for life. But Madoff is least terrible one here.
👏 👏 👏Slow clap for FactBoi's thought on old people. Simon, me, same. 👏 👏 👏
I downloaded lord of war only a few hours ago off of sky tv absolutely brilliant movie
Viktor Bout has now been given to Russia in exchange for Brittney Griner.
Sir Richard Branson once said "You don't become a billionaire without f*cking a lot of people over."
I was in College for Accounting Degree during Enron situation and it was referred to as "Creative Accounting"!😁
Last thing I want to do is hear Simon eating. Thanks Magic Spoon!
Business Blaze!
Harry Markopolos has 2 sons: Harry Louie and Louie Harry.....let that sink in for a sec....😂😂😂
Magic Spoon just put out two new flavors this week! Salted Caramel and apple cinnamon. Can’t wait to order those on pay day.
Aw man, I normally avoid cereal, but salted caramel is unavoidable for me
What do you do?
"Air freight"..
What do you do?
"Import-export"..
What do you do???
"CRIMES JESUS.. What do you wan.. CRIMES.. OK?? CRIMES!!!"
😂😂😂
Fact-boi never fails with the laughs
It's rare for the rich and/or powerful or for corporations to see any consequences for their actions here in the US.
Lol right?? I put in at least 2spoonfuls per bowl and eat Oreos or Chips Ahoy or just bites of chocolate with the cereal. But yeah I'd try Magic Spoon but $10 a box? One question Simon, do they take food stamps?
The merchant of death probably figured he'd be able to bribe his way out of trouble in Thailand - I'm actually quite surprised that he couldn't.
In the US, you can only be an arms dealer if you are a company or are the US government lol
Then you have never been to a fleamarket in Oklahoma.
@@MichaelOKC lol I mean to other countries. In the US, anyone can sell the sacred guns to anyone else lol. Though War Dogs is based on a true story, if you have ever seen it. If I remember correctly, they only got in trouble because the stuff was Chinese, not Russian.
You realize there's literally millions of black market firearms in the US right? You can literally just be some dude and be an arms dealer.
Ok, I lost my sh*t at the phone call. 100% was not expecting that 😂
Actually all but one of the US presidents were alive DURING the Jim crow era. And a lot of the house and Senate. Voters are slowly shifting out of that mentally, but the people making the laws aren't 🙄
As an American who went to the National Museum in Kabul for the opening of a numismatic exhibition... I approve this joke 🤣
Woo! Glad at least one person got it. Did you actually get to see it though? I thought their numismatics collection was held completely secret and off limits to the public?
And now “the merchant of death” has actually been traded for the basketball player in a prisoner swap.
Jeez the hypothetical prisoner swap of Viktor for Griner that was so unbelievable happened today. Yes the world is that f'ed up.
As someone with severe misophonia, I always have to start these videos with the volume all the way down just in case the sponsor is Magic Spoon. Today I'm glad I did.
At 29:21 - A thing about the correctional department that you might not know. (My father is a retired corrections officer, so he told me a thing or two.)
Both State and Federal prison systems have Minimum, Medium, and Maximum security prisons.
The breakdown of who goes to which involves a few things, but the two that make the most sense to people outside the system are how heinous the crime was, and how much time the convict will serve.
People who are serving life sentences (ballpark of 25+) and death sentences are sent to Maximum Security. They are going to be there for a long time, so there is nothing left to lose.
As such... A "white collar" crime that gets what amounts to a life sentence, and a violent crime that gets a life sentence, will earn both perpetrators time in a Maximum security prison. Life is life.
As much as some people would think that "but this one didn't commit a violent offense! Surely he shouldn't be in the same place as violent offenders!" sort of makes sense, that isn't how it works. Life is life, and Maximum is Maximum. They are in it together, for better or for worse.
Hi Simon. Love your videos (all channels). Can you please release some merch with your catphrases? 'What are you doing?!' 'Don't write down your crimes!' 'Allegedly'
These cut scenes more explicit then CASUAL CRIMINALIST LOL
Man Simon was geeking me out in this one
My favorite part of being a youtube premium member is when creators embed a 3-minute ad anyway.
"Aren't rich people more likely to go to jail?" Oh, my sweet summer Simon.
i have misophonia and the sound of people chewing usually makes me want to punch a baby. but when factboi is going to town on a bowl of magic spoon, it's strangely soothing.
Listening to the ‘Redhanded’ True Crime podcast and the hosts Hannah Maguire and Suruthi Bala mentioned Simon in their show as they have a total crush on him ! They love ALL of your channels - as do I, and the fact that they’re Whistle-Boy fans makes me love them all the more !! 😂😂 They were listening to a Geographics episode on Indonesia with the super volcano, and the fact that it has the biggest lake in a volcano crater there. They were saying that ‘Simon says’ if that super volcano was to blow then civilisation could be completely wiped out depending on the direction of the winds at the time of eruption…😮😮 I’m going to watch that episode after this and completely scare myself silly..😂😂
Robert Rosso was in the same medical wing at Butner NC, with Bernie Madoff, and said he is actually very respected among other prisoners, mainly stays to himself, and only did 1 interview while in prison, but they still have not allowed it to be released. Rosso also said he has 0 remorse, and loved watching himself on the TV in the commons room.
John Gotti said "don't say anything you don't want played back in court". But he didn't listen to his own advice.
Sam's editing on point as usual.
It is not merely Simon-sidebars for which one holds out hope, but many in the introduction becoming a motif withal. This was a better, more completely realised experience.
My mom and little sister were apart of the salmonella poisoning lawsuit in 07. My mom was in icu for 2 weeks and lost part of her small intestines. She died (unrelated to the salmonella) before the lawsuit was finalized.
Simon, you had me at "allegedly"
RIP Danny
I've watched a lot of yours.I laughed the most at this
Thanks!
Simon: "This episode is brought to you by magic spoon!"
Me: * slams mute button * lol
The Harry Markopolos company Simon mentioned is GE
The real issue with Griner, was she was allowed to do sign a million dollar contract to work in Russia, when most businesses aren't allowed to and would face penalties. If the sanctions had been uniform, and special privileges not made, the situation wouldn't have happened
I got so annoyed with people defending her because a Russian team would pay her more than a US team. Fine, then move there.
I'm not saying she's totally to blame for her predicament, but it's like 90% her fault.
I think we give too much leeway to most professional athletes. Far too many are abusers, addicts and have done things that would get the average person fired and most likely a prison sentence.
We should've left her there.
The trade happened today
@@differentfins And the teacher is still there
@@travishalvorson6377 and some marines... you know expendable and not important.
Madoff forgot the rule, "if you are rich, you can steal all you want, just don't steal from other rich people"
Love the Coffee shout out...
Respect for Leaders needs to be earned, not just given.
Leaders must give respect to their subordinates to get the respect of those subordinates
Whom do you lead?
Wasn't the bloke who was convicted for the Lockerbie bombing set up, tho? I vaguely remember there being a load of articles in the rags at the time alternating between "he's literally hitler" and "he also totally didn't do it". Was a weird week. O.o
