Any sailor who is in acting command of a vessel is addressed as "Captain" while onboard, regardless of rank. Likewise, Marines who hold the rank of Captain (equivalent to a naval Lieutenant, which doesn't have an "F" in it) is addressed one rank up as "Major" when he's onboard to avoid confusion, as there can only be one Captain on a ship.

Hardly competitors, like Toyota and Ferrari who both make cars being called competitors. The sponsor chose this episode to ride the fame and popularity of Cap'n Crunch
Having been in the navy. Not being the rank of captain, does not mean a person of lesser rank cannot be the captain of a vessel. I was stationed on a Los Angeles class attack submarine. U.S.S. Buffalo SSN 715. The two captains that I served under were the rank of commander. So this argument about Capt crunch is moot. Period,...........

I may be mistaken but I believe it is possible at least in the US Navy to hold the title of Captain if you are in command of ship but not necessarily the rank of Captain. I believe only the largest of US Navy ships are actually commanded by an officer who holds the rank of Captain. So you would I think be "the Captain" but not "a Captain". Again if memory serves one of the informal ways to refer to such an officer would be "Skipper". That's only if he is in the Navy though I believe, and again I'm remembering way back that in the merchant marines you would hold the official title of "Master " but you would be the captain of the ship and that is what people would refer to you as. He appears to be a merchant sailor anyway as the guppy does not have the prefix USS ( commissioned United States Navy ship) or USNS ( non commissioned United States Navy ship). The SS (screw steamer) Guppy is probably a bulk freighter specializing in hauling what else, cereal. It also was not uncommon for early steam powered ships to still have sails. But that's just my theory.
That cereal does look good but it’s $39 for a variety pack of 4 7 ounce boxes. That’s just under $23 per pound!!! Seriously who the hell can afford that???

Fun Fact: 200 years ago a (Royal) Navy Captain DID wear three bars. Until the mid 1800's or so Navy officer ranks went: Lieutenant ( 1 bar) Commander (2 Bars) Captain ( 3 bars). Then the ranks or Sub-Lieutenant ( Royal Navy) / Lieutenant (JG) were created and they gave each previous rank an extra bar. Fun Fact #2: The RANK of Lieutenant-Commander was only created in 1862 (USN) and 1914 (RN) prior to that the officer was a a Lieutenant who held the position of Commander (called a Lieutenant and Commander, such an officer would command such a sailing vessel as a brig)
I worked for a long distance phone company and made my own blue box in 1982 from discarded equipment. It wasn't very hard to do. Once you have the box you would call directory information in any area code, this call was toll free. You would then send the 2600 tone and drop directory information but continue to have control over the long distance line. Since the long distance multi-tone frequencies were different from you standard home phone multi-tone you had to obtain a dialer with the long distance multi-tones. Once you had all that you could call anywhere in the world for free. Of course you can't do that today because everything is digital.
Perhaps the Cap'n has a Letter of Marque. As for the whistle, Rice Krispies had a three holed whistle that was able to do similar things including overriding the mute feature on the other end of the line.
I was sitting through the magic spoon add listening to it and I was like this is a really professional add read. I am at Abbott watch her a business blaze so I wasn’t used to this ad being delivered so well
In the US Navy the term Captain is both a rank and a billet. Captain Crunch's rank is that of Commander as signified by his three gold rings on his uniform sleeves. But since he holds the billet of commanding officer he is the ship's Captain and referred as such.
When I eat cereal I WANT SUGAR. Cereal is not good without sugar. I'm the guy who adds sugar to Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Cinnamon Life, a even Captain Crunch.
Have you ever added a glob of peanut butter to the middle of a bowl of Frosted Flakes? If not I highly recommend doing so. Take a bit with each scoop. If you like peanut butter you will be amazed. It's Cap'n Crunch. LOL.
That’s it. This is Legend. From Simon munching on Magic Spoon to doing a deep dive on Captain Horacio Magellan Crunch III, this is epic. Any doubt RUclips is SimonTube?
We had Captain Crunch in Norway in the early to mid 80's. I remember having it as a child, and old Norwegian Disney comic magazines have adverts for it. So it's likely that it was available in the UK at that time.
Extra fact Cap'n Crunch along with the rest of Quaker Oats is now owned by Pepsi as of 2001. They originally only wanted only one division of the company ..Gatorade. But when they refused to break up the company Pepsi just checked the couch cushions, pulled 13.8 billion dollars and bought everything.
Cap'n: informal title for the commanding officer of any warship, for example a Navy Destroyer or Coast Guard Cutter. Captain: a formal title of rank, of O-3 for the USMC, USAF, and USA and O-6 in the USN. My CO on a Destroyer was a Commander/O-5, complete with the 3 stripes on his cuffs. Still called him "Cap'n". Some ships prefer "Skipper".
I strongly recommend trying Cap'n Crunch at least once, to date it's my personal favorite cereal. Fun tidbit: I don't know if it was by state or locality, U.S. specific, or sold across the globe but 7 Eleven used to sell a berry Cap'n Crunch Slurpee! As gross as it sounds it wasn't half bad!
That's pretty good. A video about Cap'n Crunch sponsored by Magic Spoon. He'll make admiral for this. There's also an interesting story on how the Cap'n Crunch character came to be created.
I wish that I could show you the photo shot that I took that Cap’n Crunch FB Messenger sent me when I asked about his rank. “He’s the commander of a merchant ship, the SS Guppy, which sails from Crunch Island.”
"Captain" in the Navy is both a rank (same grade and insignia as Colonel in the other branches) and a position of authority...thus someone at a rank lower than Captain could be addressed as Captain if that person is in command of a vessel. This is why -- at the end of the movie "Down Periscope", Rip Torn addressed Kelsey Grammer as both Captain (his position of authority) and Commander (his actual rank)...both of which were correct (if not inconsistent).
"When the toast is burned and all the milk has turned, and Cap'n Crunch is waving farewell. When the big one finds you, may this song remind you that they don't serve breakfast in hell." If you know this song then you rock! If you don't.......well you still might rock, but if you know it, you definitely do.
I looked up the ingredients of Magic Spoon because most breakfast cereals are made of, well... cereals (defined as a grain used for food, such as wheat, oats, or corn). According to their own web site, Magic Spoon is made from milk and whey protein isolates, coconut oil, tapioca flour, chicory root fiber, sweetened with allulose (basically processed corn fructose), stevia, and monk fruit. I don't know about anyone else, but this is a list of ingredients that doesn't sound appealing to me. I don't doubt that it's healthy, but there's more to life than being healthy. I am reminded that when you realize that you're life is soon to end, it's the things you didn't do that you regret the most - things like eating stacks of bacon. :D
I always just accepted the pain to be a part of the bigger Cap'n Crunch experience. With Rice Krispies you got snap, crackle, and pop. With Cap'n Crunch you got flesh hanging from the roof of your mouth.
Many people have claimed the title of Captain without any military service, and being the commander of a boat does in some way give a person the rank of Captain.
There is no reason to debate. The Officer in charge of a vessel is the Captain, regardless of actual rank. So, while his sleeves show him as a Commander, he is still referred to as Captain. That hat, however, is way out of regs.
While he's not a Naval captain, there are ways to get the title of Captain. The big thing with Crunch is that he fits more of as a Sea Captain, which due to the specifics of the Guppy may or may not have been regulated beyond simply being the captain of the ship there. While there is a captains license, it's not specifically necessary to have the title for a civilian ship. The title is for the one who runs the ship...which was passed down to the aviation captain who runs the larger passenger and other large aircraft...the "This is the Captain speaking..." announcements tend to come from them. Note that it's the S.S. Guppy as well, not U.S.S. This is a major point towards it not being a Navy vessel. Sure, it's armed, but the ship is, visually, of an era where such things would be common anyway for any ship and there are no modern weapons shown to my knowledge. For the uniform, the style was relatively common for Naval and Sea Captains to use in the era the ship is from. It's not a modern one, but it is something they'd have been wearing. This isn't a case of stolen valor or similar, it's the case of a different type of captain. It would be the same sort of thing as targeting a Fire Captain for using the name with the view that he's claiming to be in the military.
While in college someone made the mistake of offering me like 50 different salutations while filling out an online form of some sort or other. I chose the one with the most flex so for years after I received junk mail addressed to 'Swami Brett'
Ah, phreaking. Dialing for MCI codes, free long distance. We made a few red boxes, a Radio Shack pocket phone dialer and one replacement crystal you had a device that mimicked the sound of quarters, dimes and nickels in pay phones. I had friends away at college, I'd bring a lawn chair to a convenient pay phone and spend an hour or two chatting about whatever.
I take exception. While I never served, yet I am a Captain. I received my grade as a civilian. I'm the Captain of a privately owned sailing vessel. If a USN Captain, your designated would be Capt. USN, or USN (ret), or Capt. USCG, USCG ( ret ), while I often use Capt Bob, SV 27th Chance, Tampa Fl. The SV designation identifies me as Captain of a sailing vessel. Not a USN vessel.
Cap'n Crunch is Mario's dad, he brought OG Donkey Kong home from DK island but he got loose, and with his reputation ruined he fled to the high seas and changed his name and rank to evade the law and let his son to clean up the mess.

Then the ranks or Sub-Lieutenant ( Royal Navy) / Lieutenant (JG) were created and they gave each previous rank an extra bar.
Fun Fact #2: The RANK of Lieutenant-Commander was only created in 1862 (USN) and 1914 (RN) prior to that the officer was a a Lieutenant who held the position of Commander (called a Lieutenant and Commander, such an officer would command such a sailing vessel as a brig)
Your Megastructures show needs to do the new Apple headquarters in Silicon Valley. It is awesome!
Got a notification that my Magic Spoon order has been delivered. It better be good, Simon! LOL
Yay, it tastes great!!
I worked for a long distance phone company and made my own blue box in 1982 from discarded equipment. It wasn't very hard to do. Once you have the box you would call directory information in any area code, this call was toll free. You would then send the 2600 tone and drop directory information but continue to have control over the long distance line. Since the long distance multi-tone frequencies were different from you standard home phone multi-tone you had to obtain a dialer with the long distance multi-tones. Once you had all that you could call anywhere in the world for free. Of course you can't do that today because everything is digital.
2 minutes for an ad is obnoxious
If you've never tasted Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, you're life is incomplete.

I loved that show!!!
What do the Napoleonic wars have to do with Andy Warhol?
So there's a vacancy? I'd like to apply for Admiral of the Navy...
Perhaps the Cap'n has a Letter of Marque.
As for the whistle, Rice Krispies had a three holed whistle that was able to do similar things including overriding the mute feature on the other end of the line.
I was sitting through the magic spoon add listening to it and I was like this is a really professional add read. I am at Abbott watch her a business blaze so I wasn’t used to this ad being delivered so well
Anyone else hella excited everytime Simon's personality leaks into channels other than Business Blaze? The best.
"Cap'n Crunch left us on Alpha Ceti 5 and never came back to check our progress. I mean to avenge myself upon him."
This couldve been an April fools episode lmao
In the US Navy the term Captain is both a rank and a billet. Captain Crunch's rank is that of Commander as signified by his three gold rings on his uniform sleeves. But since he holds the billet of commanding officer he is the ship's Captain and referred as such.
When I eat cereal I WANT SUGAR. Cereal is not good without sugar. I'm the guy who adds sugar to Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Cinnamon Life, a even Captain Crunch.
Have you ever added a glob of peanut butter to the middle of a bowl of Frosted Flakes? If not I highly recommend doing so. Take a bit with each scoop. If you like peanut butter you will be amazed. It's Cap'n Crunch. LOL.
That’s it. This is Legend. From Simon munching on Magic Spoon to doing a deep dive on Captain Horacio Magellan Crunch III, this is epic.
Any doubt RUclips is SimonTube?
Is there a free iPhone in every box????

Its rice based, so no.
Ketamin definitely extends your life
We had Captain Crunch in Norway in the early to mid 80's. I remember having it as a child, and old Norwegian Disney comic magazines have adverts for it. So it's likely that it was available in the UK at that time.
I think that whistle thing was shown in the movie Sneakers with Dan Aykroyd, if I remember correctly.
My 3 favorite is frosted mini wheats, Reese Puffs and Cap'N Crunch.
Somebody send Simon some Captain Crunch!!!
We can't have the man of knowledge not having knowledge of what Captain Crunch taste like!
Extra fact Cap'n Crunch along with the rest of Quaker Oats is now owned by Pepsi as of 2001. They originally only wanted only one division of the company ..Gatorade. But when they refused to break up the company Pepsi just checked the couch cushions, pulled 13.8 billion dollars and bought everything.
Cap`n Crunch now has his own story written by Jared Miracle as told Simon Whistler --- AND I LOVED IT !!!!!!
By definition, cereals are grains. False advertising!
Was hoping for a brief bonus fact regarding exactly why Cap'n Crunch makes the roof of your mouth feel as though you just ate a bowl of broken glass.
This is almost click bait. The connection between Cap’n Crunch and iPhone is sooooo ethereal.
any commanding officer of a ship can be referred to as "captain", even if they're only a commander or even a lowly lieutenant.
Cap'n: informal title for the commanding officer of any warship, for example a Navy Destroyer or Coast Guard Cutter.
Captain: a formal title of rank, of O-3 for the USMC, USAF, and USA and O-6 in the USN.
My CO on a Destroyer was a Commander/O-5, complete with the 3 stripes on his cuffs. Still called him "Cap'n". Some ships prefer "Skipper".
I hope they stop making movies about that hack salesman and give Woz some nerd love.
I strongly recommend trying Cap'n Crunch at least once, to date it's my personal favorite cereal. Fun tidbit: I don't know if it was by state or locality, U.S. specific, or sold across the globe but 7 Eleven used to sell a berry Cap'n Crunch Slurpee! As gross as it sounds it wasn't half bad!
That's pretty good. A video about Cap'n Crunch sponsored by Magic Spoon. He'll make admiral for this. There's also an interesting story on how the Cap'n Crunch character came to be created.
I wish that I could show you the photo shot that I took that Cap’n Crunch FB
Messenger sent me when I asked about his rank. “He’s the commander of a merchant ship, the SS Guppy, which sails from Crunch Island.”
"Captain" in the Navy is both a rank (same grade and insignia as Colonel in the other branches) and a position of authority...thus someone at a rank lower than Captain could be addressed as Captain if that person is in command of a vessel.
This is why -- at the end of the movie "Down Periscope", Rip Torn addressed Kelsey Grammer as both Captain (his position of authority) and Commander
(his actual rank)...both of which were correct (if not inconsistent).
"When the toast is burned and all the milk has turned, and Cap'n Crunch is waving farewell. When the big one finds you, may this song remind you that they don't serve breakfast in hell." If you know this song then you rock! If you don't.......well you still might rock, but if you know it, you definitely do.
I love how you casually refer to him as "Mr. Crunch"!
I looked up the ingredients of Magic Spoon because most breakfast cereals are made of, well... cereals (defined as a grain used for food, such as wheat, oats, or corn). According to their own web site, Magic Spoon is made from milk and whey protein isolates, coconut oil, tapioca flour, chicory root fiber, sweetened with allulose (basically processed corn fructose), stevia, and monk fruit. I don't know about anyone else, but this is a list of ingredients that doesn't sound appealing to me. I don't doubt that it's healthy, but there's more to life than being healthy. I am reminded that when you realize that you're life is soon to end, it's the things you didn't do that you regret the most - things like eating stacks of bacon. :D
Simon's gonna get a case of capn crunch now in the mail
3:50 4:15
Summon thoughts" wish this was the blaze could double time by going off on last 2 sentences"
I always just accepted the pain to be a part of the bigger Cap'n Crunch experience. With Rice Krispies you got snap, crackle, and pop. With Cap'n Crunch you got flesh hanging from the roof of your mouth.
Could have, 'Magic Spoon is so much better than Captain Crunch because it dosn't scrape roof of your mouth.... allegedly.."
Many people have claimed the title of Captain without any military service, and being the commander of a boat does in some way give a person the rank of Captain.
There is no reason to debate. The Officer in charge of a vessel is the Captain, regardless of actual rank. So, while his sleeves show him as a Commander, he is still referred to as Captain. That hat, however, is way out of regs.
... that is so true, 'mouth mutilating' (just take a wire brush to the roof of your mouth) ... 'Rrrrrrrr!'
Woz is a great guy. 👍 Jobs was a sleazy used-car salesman. 😒
Sad to learn Cap'n Crunch isn't available in the UK. That's probably why Patrick O'Brian lived in Spain.
While he's not a Naval captain, there are ways to get the title of Captain.
The big thing with Crunch is that he fits more of as a Sea Captain, which due to the specifics of the Guppy may or may not have been regulated beyond simply being the captain of the ship there. While there is a captains license, it's not specifically necessary to have the title for a civilian ship. The title is for the one who runs the ship...which was passed down to the aviation captain who runs the larger passenger and other large aircraft...the "This is the Captain speaking..." announcements tend to come from them.
Note that it's the S.S. Guppy as well, not U.S.S. This is a major point towards it not being a Navy vessel. Sure, it's armed, but the ship is, visually, of an era where such things would be common anyway for any ship and there are no modern weapons shown to my knowledge.
For the uniform, the style was relatively common for Naval and Sea Captains to use in the era the ship is from. It's not a modern one, but it is something they'd have been wearing.
This isn't a case of stolen valor or similar, it's the case of a different type of captain. It would be the same sort of thing as targeting a Fire Captain for using the name with the view that he's claiming to be in the military.
It’s not in the UK, my buddy who moved over there has his mom send him Cap’n Crunch.
Magic Spoon $10/ box!! WTH?! 🤣🤣
While in college someone made the mistake of offering me like 50 different salutations while filling out an online form of some sort or other. I chose the one with the most flex so for years after I received junk mail addressed to 'Swami Brett'
When you have to it because it's sponsored but don't have enough material for a full vid.
Do you have to get a headshave before each filming session D:
Of course he does. Sometimes moments before recording. Check for fresh bandages.
Ah, phreaking. Dialing for MCI codes, free long distance. We made a few red boxes, a Radio Shack pocket phone dialer and one replacement crystal you had a device that mimicked the sound of quarters, dimes and nickels in pay phones. I had friends away at college, I'd bring a lawn chair to a convenient pay phone and spend an hour or two chatting about whatever.
I take exception. While I never served, yet I am a Captain. I received my grade as a civilian. I'm the Captain of a privately owned sailing vessel. If a USN Captain, your designated would be Capt. USN, or USN (ret), or Capt. USCG, USCG ( ret ), while I often use Capt Bob, SV 27th Chance, Tampa Fl. The SV designation identifies me as Captain of a sailing vessel. Not a USN vessel.
Magic Spoon: 13x more expensive and I have to wait for it to arrive. Pass.
Simon is simply, too good
Cap'n Crunch is Mario's dad, he brought OG Donkey Kong home from DK island but he got loose, and with his reputation ruined he fled to the high seas and changed his name and rank to evade the law and let his son to clean up the mess.
