Sam gets annoyed by the sound of Simon hitting his desk near where the mic is, so Simon gets a floating microphone... and proceeds to constantly grab it.
100% not petty, I was once working at both a law firm and pizza/pasta place, and the pizza place refused to pay me for a few weeks of work after they locked me out of the rostering system. Sending the "by the way I also work for a law firm, and unless I get paid in the next 48 hours, you'll be hearing from them" text, and being paid within an hour of sending it, is still the most powerful I've ever felt 😂
I don't think it's petty at all for standing up for your wife. The person who refused to pay was being a douche bag. They deserved the threat of lawyers. Great video, Simon! Thanks again
Good for you, Simon. Of course you should stand by your wife. My ex and I had a similar situation involving a lawyer who didn't pay for our services. So, I took our baby twins and a sign and stood outside his offices. It took just 3 hours and he came out, pleading to pay me just so his clients didn't see what a shitbag he truly was. I took the money and stayed another 3 hours, just to be spiteful.
Nah, Simon, you're not petty. I spent 3 months getting a supplier in China kicked off eBay for screwing me out of $4. It just pissed me off. I found in his review that he had screwed a lot of other customers the same way, so I contacted them and got a petition together. eBay saw the large number of their buyers being routinely screwed over by this one seller and kicked him off permanently. Was this a good use of my time? YES! It gave me and my fellow buyers great satisfaction and we spent no cash on it. Maybe we should do this kind of thing more often.
I waged war against a vendor on Facebook that was selling a set of “life-like Green Dragon eye” dice (yes, I’m a geek, surprised?). After paying £32.56 including shipping and transaction fees and waiting 3 weeks I received a solitary die (should have been 7) that in no way resembled the “life like”features advertised. After several cordial email exchanges they offered me $4 reimbursement IF I RETURNED THE DIE (which of course I’d have to pay postage for)! After that whenever their advert appeared in any of the DnD related groups I’m in, I’d post a screen shot of their review on ScamAdviser (something I should have checked before parting with my cash) of 1/100:- Highly Suspect. I continued my crusade by repeating this with every advertiser doing the same, as it it turned out they were all the same vendor trading as various websites. After several other fellow DnD enthusiasts began doing the same eventually the adverts disappeared but unfortunately I never got my refund and am left with a sole disappointing die.
scams like that only work cause most people think "ah fuck thsoe 4$" good on you. i am the same way. the amount isnt the problem. it is the point that its MY money.
Lorelei, your editing is absolutely top notch!! Your editing on here has always been fantastic, but you've blasted it out of the park on this one. Thank you!! Hopefully you'll make the opening roll like the writer does, you deserve it. Also, for the benefit of one Mr. F. Boi, 'lengthly' is an archaic form of the word 'lengthy'. Call it a quirk. Like the difference between 'jag-u-ar', and 'jag-uar'. They're both the same thing and we know this so, contextually, either are perfectly acceptable. We can all agree that the only unacceptable way to say jaguar is the one from the southern United States - 'jag-wire'
The guy who got lost for several days inside an abandoned coal mine and had to be rescued, tried to sue the mine owners for not taking adequate steps to keep him out of the mine. This was after he freely admitted he'd broken into the mine to see if there was anything left behind that was worth stealing.😂
That mine was mine and he should have minded where he was mining. Minding his route must have slipped his mind, and my mine was all his mind could mind for a time.
Sam has no respect whatsoever for Simon and it's glorious Edit* I think it's Sam, might be Jen? I know she does Casual Criminalist and/or Decoding the Unknown.
@@cleverusername9369So, I went to the end of the video to check, and it's Lorelei, a new name, to me at least, but they are a really good editor, imo. Another great addition to the Blazement. Nice catch, Simon. Tho, that makes me question if Sam has died in there because Simon forgot about him again. One love ❤️ Edit: I also loved the Steven He clip. Really an unexpected, but very welcome crossover.
Though I do wish some of the gags would stay on for a second or two longer. Some of them have too much text. And maybe you're like, "You're not actually supposed to bother reading it all!" But I can't help it. I'm compelled to, so I'm constantly rewinding the video by ten seconds, and it significantly decreases my enjoyment, but I can't help myself
SHOUT-OUT TO LORELEI ON THIS EPISODE'S EDITING! The lawyer commercial's caption was so funny, and the mesothelioma jingle killed me. It just went on and on and on. So many laughs per minute. And every time I see Brennan Lee Mulligan, my soul smiles.
Many years ago, I passed by the famous West 4th Street basketball court in NYC. A guy in a pickup game was a dead ringer for Michael Jordan, I mean scarily so. Then he started playing. The resemblance ended. I don't know if this was the guy in your story. If so, Michael should sue him for defamation of character by way of lack of talent.
Dave I’m not sure if you’re still in Portsmouth but I will now be questioning every blind man I find until I can find you. You sir are a legend and it would be a treat to meet you
Except for the part where the whole reason he mentioned the Supreme Court was because he wondered if the judge in this episode was on it, and even after literally saying out loud *almost* accurately how few judges are on it, he didn't realize that he would have been identified by the writer as a Supreme Court judge, and Simon probably would've recognized his name as well if he'd been on the Supreme Court.
I’m in the UK, I had a phone call from one of these claim companies and was told, “you have been in a car accident”, so I played along, then I was asked about it, well after a while, they hanged up on me after I told them all about it and where it happened, I don’t think they liked that the accident was in Grand Theft Auto 5 online 😂
They would have got in trouble for that anyway from law I say but I can guarantee whoever sold her the drink was probably fired even before the suing happened@@nicholaslewis8594
True but the case was dismissed with prejudiced and no settlement award... the parties though did have to pay their own court fees. Also it depends on the state. In NC it's only responsible if they served someone visibly drunk. Also it's a no fault state so they only have to argue the plaintiff of one percent at fault
@@zacharythebeau163 Yeah, they would need to show security camera footage to prove that the customer was visibly drunk, but if the Bar had one of those certifications from (I think) the ATF then all the bartenders should've been certified, which would mean they should know how to count drinks, and even if someone doesn't seem too drunk there are still limits on how many drinks a certain person can have in a certain amount of time based on a number of factors. I took that certification a while ago so I forgot some of it, but I will never forget how crazy long the online course is. It took me almost 2 full 8 hour shifts of coming into the restaurant and sitting down at the computer for the whole shift each time to get through it, and that was without having to retake any of the test. I found the scientific nature of the info being taught very interesting, tbh.
Simon FINALLY realized that what I thought was a lisp or other type of speech problem, was deliberate misreading of the word lengthy. I can not find a definition for the non-word "lengthly".
it's not a word. He also had the wrong definition for the word "lightening", which actually means "to lighten or reduce the weight of something. I guess it could technically be used for brightening/illuminating something in the past tense, but in the example sentence he used, the word that he should've used was "lit" as in, " I lit the room up by turning on the butane camping lantern on the desk in the corner." or" I used my camping lantern to light up the room." Lightening just makes no sense in those sentences or the one he used.
Yes, I heard that too and have noticed that the ad text never says "wings" anymore, it says "wiiiiiiings". Presumably changed to give them a way out for the next idiot who tries to sue them.
That wasn't about if it actually "gave you wings". It was about the deceptive advertising of saying it could boost both physical and metal abilities including but not limited to improved reaction speeds and concentration. And caffeine while giving you energy, cannot boost your physical or mental performance above your normal limits. This is like that lady who sued McDonald's for her spilling their hot coffee in her lap, if you look into the details it really wasn't as silly as the headlines make it look.
One thing in North America is that the server/bartender is the one responsible for how much you drink. They have to gauge whether or not you’ve been drinking before, limit how much you drink, and can be held responsible if something happens while you still have alcohol in your system. Trust me, it can make work difficult
Simon, you're an idiot, it's lenghty, we all knew but you. You're a legend. Also no you were not petty for telling your wife to lawyer up and you'd be supporting her to get paid. You were being a great partner. ❤
My father looked like Kenny Rogers, so much so that he fooled Kenny’s mother and sister. Dad loved it, he got special treatment everywhere he went. He was invited by Kenny to tour with him as a distraction so Kenny could escape from the crowds more easily. But Dad did have some problems that some men wouldn’t consider a problem, he was constantly attacked by women, and there were times we had to run and dive into the car to get away. He did eventually shave his beard to finally get some peace and quiet.
@@randomperson6433 Possibly, but when you fool the person's mother and other family members from just a few feet away, then you’re about as close as a lookalike can get. We pulled a joke on Dolly Parton with Dad walking out of the dressing room moments before they were to go on stage. She was fooled and couldn’t stop talking about how much dad looked like Kenny. Even after the show with Dad sitting beside Kenny, no one knew which one was Dad and which one was Kenny. I have hundreds of these stories with different people and friends of Kenny’s, I have a great story about Bill Murray not believing that Dad wasn’t Kenny during a Saturday night live taping but it’s very long and I’m not going to go into it here. We all had a blast and got to meet a lot of famous people, Dad didn’t try to look like Kenny Rogers, Dad was older than Kenny so technically Kenny looked like dad.
Was just gonna comment on that. Yep, life is way more enjoyable when everyone isn't worried about being sued all the time & just accepts that sh*t happens.
Who punishes businesses for their misbehavior then? Do you have a specific government agency to report the things you'd normally sue over to? Honestly I quite like lawsuits as I harbor the hope to one day be in a position to sue some company for enough money to not have to work for the rest of my life, even losing a limb would be worth it.
@@omgandwtf1 We are blessed with strong commercial and medical laws which are used to punish bad businesses. Yes we have the Commerce Commission to report to. We can also take a business to court to recover proven losses. Ruining another persons life or destroying a business for financial gain is not a high bar to set.
@HorthornNZ laws that effectively punish businesses if only America had those, it's mostly just fines that are ultimately inconsonsquitsl to the total revenue of the business. Really the smallest corporate fine should be 10% of total assets. And jail time for the people in charge should be common place as well as measures like being banned from earning more than a low set amount per year for a period of time, basically force ceo's to live at minimum wage for a decade or two as punishment. After all it's really painful to go from being rich to being poor.
The tangents were particularly strong today, and I loved it. Honestly, make another channel where Simon's employees and friends just provide a number of prompts and Simon has to read one and just ramble for a minimum of five minutes, and only reads the next prompt after that five minutes or reaching the end of his tangent. I'd watch the shit out of that.
I have to say, the mic arm is great not just for Sam but for everyone else too. I was always annoyed by those random thumping sounds. Often sounded like someone was pounding on my door. 😂😂 #ThankSam
Seconded. I don't mind it when Simon violently stabs his giant hunting knife into the desk, but the random thumps when he pounds the desk were annoying, especially with headphones.
If a publican is someone owning a pub, does that make a re-publican someone who owned a pub, then didn't for a bit and now owns a pub again? Because if that's true, there should be a lot more pubs in the U.S.A..
The "lengthy" thing is actually really funny to me, because I have heard Simon say "lengthly" many times in videos, and I always just assumed it was a weird difference between British and American English, like how the British add a syllable to "Aluminum."
I used to work in a place that demanded that you have ladder training. Someone tried to go up a ladder and I said do not go up the ladder unless you have been ladder trained because if you fall off the boss won't pay you any sick pay because it's your fault. The funny thing was the boss had asked the person to go up the ladder and they didn't know the rule about having to be trained. I worked in another place and one of the rules was not to squirt thinners at another person and set fire to their trousers 🤦♀️
Rules are rules for a reason. Quite often that reason is written in blood. At my brother's work a new guy was eager to prove what an excellent worker he was (it was his second day on the job), and forgot to don a mask before entering the hull of the ship. He died within a few minutes. Now they are keeping the gear for entering said spaces in a separate building in the yard and you cannot enter the ship without checking off at said building with gear on. At another part of the worksite one guy decided to take a shot cut after his break and not follow the scheduled walkway. He was turned into pancake instantly when he stepped in front of a massive truck. The walkway was there just so people would NOT step in forrt of these massive vehicles where it was difficult for the driver to spot if anyone stepped in front of him.
I feel like if the boss knowingly told him to go up the ladder and knowingly did not inform them of the policy on ladder training/did not ensure this person had gone through ladder training, and an accident occurred, then this person may have a case.
Years ago I worked in a restaurant and was told by management I couldn't go 2ft up a step ladder to change a light bulb as I hadn't done ladder training. A few weeks later the same manager wanted me to climb on a table to hang decorations from the ceiling
19:00 Ya pretty sure here in Canada the bar would be responsible on both counts too. Gotta get your smart serve license to serve drinks, and part of that is knowing when to cut someone off.
@@maxbracegirdle9990I recently got a TABC certificate in Texas, and in the training course they make it clear that if someone does ANYTHING that can be attributed to being overserved, it WILL be on the server since here there are "safe haven" laws that protect the establishment from liability if they require employees to get their own liquor license.
@@maxbracegirdle9990 If she was drunk and they have video footage of them continuing to serve her even though they should of cut her off. They can be held liable for her decision making after that. Not saying its right. It on you if you drink then drive. But they call it responsibility of care when ya work behind a bar in Australia.
When Simon said he thought it was Lengthly I quietly said to myself "its ok Simon, English isnt ur first language" and then palmfaced directly 1 second later lol
TBF, South Carolina roads are ATROCIOUS. I live in Charleston, the most populated city in the state, and even in some of the richest neighborhoods, there are potholes that will absolutely take you out. However if you know this fact, you absolutely shouldn’t get drunk before driving home (or ever drive home drunk).
RBG's problem was NOT that simple; if she had quit under Obama, her seat would have been subject to the same problem the previous seat was: Mitch McConnell stonewalling Obama's choice. Look up Merrick Garland. RBG was hoping she would be able to outlast McConnell.
Problem is it would have been a lot harder to stonewall two of them. Also she knew longenough before hand that he couldn't have used the same crap excuse if she'd retired earlier. She could knew about it and could have retired before the election year. All that said, it would have been harder for McConnell to stop Obama putting her replacement in, but it would not have been impossible. He still could havestopped it. So it is hard to say which would have been right. And more, while this move may or may not have worked out, she was still an amazing justice and did a lot of good. Even if her early retirement would have 100% guaranteed Obama got the pick, it still wouldn't tarnish her career.
Right people forget he was Senate Pro Tempore. That's -how- he was able to refuse to call a vote. What Obama -should- have done with MG was use the temporary assignment of MG which is allowed without congress, as long as they aren't holding a vote. This would have forced a vote as if they had pulled the refuse to vote with mg being temporarily assigned, he would be considered confirmed at the close of the congressional session. So he would have been confirmed by no contest. The alternative for them then is to hold the vote.
@craigh5236 no, I know they can pull some shit. But she knew with enough advance she could have retired in Obama first or second year. Being that early would have made it basically impossible to deny Obama that pick. But I do agree, not totally impossible. It's hard to know for sure which but, but odds are if she retired early enough Obama would have been able to get that pick.
During the section when Simon was talking about the Free Solo guy not being able to feel fear due a brain abnormality, I know he was probably saying it in jest when he suggested that the guy should have someone assist him by telling him what is and isn't dangerous. However, the reason why it isn't needed is because it's not that he's unable to tell if something is dangerous but that he is simply not afraid of something being dangerous. Whether that counts as impaired mental capacity would be contentious, since being fearful (e.g. needle phobia) can itself lead to someone being found as lacking mental capacity (for a particular decision).
I had a home care patient once who was walking in the middle of a poorly lit street while incredibly drunk and high who got hit by a car. Their family bemoaned to me how they sued the driver and failed. It was super hard to act empathetic for how they we’re struggling in the suit when I really thought it was the patient’s fault for putting themselves in obvious harm and the driver shouldn’t be to blame for their behavior.
A mate of mine was driving home from work late at night from night shift around midnight and in the right hand lane and slowing down to do a right hand turn when a guy stepped out from the bushes in the median strip right in front of her car - we are in Australia. He was so drunk he rebounded up the bonnet, half through the windscreen then rolled off. He got up and dusted himself off and started to walk away but was stopped by a cop car who was about three cars behind hers and saw the whole thing. The guy was so drunk he didn't get hurt but my friend was in shock and shaking.
Smileyfish, I get your lack of empathy/sympathy, but if it was your home care patient as you say, aren't you the one to blame? You had one job. Not let them walk in traffic. 😂
THANK YOU SAM!! Every time Simon hit the desk it would kick the subwoofer and souded like someone hit my truck. I'd always tense up expecting a jolt. THANK YOU TWITTER PERSON!! I've been watching Simon since the white room and no beard, and thought lengthly was just a British way of saying lengthy.
@maxbracegirdle9990 no. I'm a truck driver. That thump sounds like the initial contact of some idiot who cant back, rubbing against the mirror. Of the dozen or so trucks I've been assigned over the last 20 years, only this new one hasn't been hit...yet. Though, I did get rear-ended hard enough to significantly damage the trailer door frame.
I have subbed to every channel Simon narrates simply for the tangents. It's the highlight of my notifications to see he's posted anything, I know it's going to be multi-level entertainment. Top notch content sir! Absolutely love it!
RBG was hoping that a democratic, or more moderate president would pick her replacement. Tried to out live the Trump presidency. She didnt step down during Obama because the republican led congress refused to vote on his picks bar probably got in trouble for serving someone underage, but not her injuries
As an American woman I felt not that RGB was just trying to hold on to her place, but that she was holding on to protect our rights. Roe v Wade was overturned almost as soon as she was gone. I mourn the loss of a truly great American Justice, but I grieve for the loss of my bodily autonomy, safety, and right to make personal, potentially life-saving decisions regarding appropriate health care, even more.
After what was said When Scalia died During Obama's final year.The same rules should've applied to her death since she died 2 weeks before the election vs over a year.
When you said "Have you guys seen the Whistlin Diesel channel" my first thought was "for fucks sake Simon, you did not start another bloody channel did you"
Wow Simon. You got some brass ones to critique Ruth Bader Ginsberg like that. You do make a point that judges and, by extension, politicians should gracefully step down due to advanced age or illness. Just look at Diane Feinstein, ironically her slogan could have been "from my cold dead hands" at this point.
The whole "appointed for life" thing seems strange to me. For the human vegetables serving as members in the house of representatives one would think the parties and voters would see to that not happening.
I think you were confusing the words 'lengthy' and 'lengthily'. So I do think it's a rather common occurrence cause 'lengthy' & 'lengthly' do both sound correct xD
Had a slightly similar situation to your dads crash- my brother had gotten his truck back from a shop and theyd failed to attach his breaks correctly resulting in a minor rear ending. No one was hurt and my dad offered to pay for the other person repairs out of pocket (he offered up to about 2k, though the damages were likely only about $5-800 range). Initially the person agreed, only to later turn around and attempt to sue for neck and back pain, trying for $10-15k. It turned into a giant case were (if I remember correctly) the lady was defrauding her insurance among other things. If she hadnt been greedy, she'd have made a decent amount from my dad but ended up not getting paid and facing other legal convictions.
My husband has worked in several restaurants with bars, and the laws were pretty much the same across several states. First off, the bar would be in some seriously deep doodoo for not checking her ID before selling her alcohol. Though, if she had a friend there who was over 21 who bought the drinks for her, I suppose the bar would be in little to no trouble since they technically didn't serve her. They could kick her and her friends out if they were caught, but the staff can't babysit all of their patrons all of the time. The friend(s) who bought the drinks for her, on the other hand, would absolutely be liable and could be in serious legal trouble. Secondly, bars are supposed to cut you off if you appear visibly intoxicated. And, if you "pre-game" and come in already tipsy, they're not supposed to serve you at all. And third, in order to help prevent patrons from getting totally hammered, bars generally have a max number of drinks a person can be served. At the places my husband worked, the max was, I think, 3. Pro tip from my husband: If you want to get hammered at a place with a drink maximum, order a Long Island Iced Tea. It doesn't matter how much alcohol is in your drink. If you order a small beer or a humongous margarita, both still count as one drink. A Long Island Iced Tea contains something like 5 shots of alcohol. But, since they're all served mixed together in a single glass (a rather large one at that) it still technically counts as only one mixed drink. So, you can order 3 of those and drink the equivalent of 15 shots. I'm not saying you SHOULD, I'm just saying you technically CAN. Do with that info what you will, but do it at your own risk.
I wish a Long Island had 5 shots but it’s about 2.5, still more than a beer or a shot. They put half shots of each. Some places like AMC measure out tiny splashes of each so it doesn’t add up to more than 1.
@@redb.5533 I don't care for the drink at all, so I am definitely no expert on it. Though, I have seen it made different ways at different places. The only chain "bar" my husband ever worked for was Applebee's. They were the ones who made it super strong. And, it's been quite a long time since he's worked there, so they may have changed it by now. But, yeah, I've seen some places make it with mostly soda and just a small splash of alcohol. So, maybe I should have added the disclaimer "Your experience may vary based on location." 😁
Actually most states limit the amount of alcohol added to mixed drinks. Usually to the same amount of hard liquor you can have at once. The exception is if the drink is designed for more than one person, in which case they can say it's for two if there are two people there they can, but neither one can get another until it's finished... this all varies by states though as the ttb and atf do have certain restrictions it's mostly on the production, transport, and sale if it. Like technically bars can't pour out beer other than stuff served and taxes already (by the actually consumer). Anything else they technically have to fill a alcohol destruction form and it can't be poured into a sink. Until exemption with COVID bars actually had to have a distributor that sold it to them come take it and the brewery had to do it, or the brewery had to send someone certified... though that's not often practiced if we're being honest.
I love it when I get accosted by the "have you had an accident in the last X years" guys in the street. My response is always "no but my parents had one about 40 years ago"
This is at least the third time I’ve heard Simon freak out about Alex Honnold’s lack of fear, and his proposed solution has been different every time… the incredulous horror never changes though 😂
I take no responsibility for any and all effects, ill or positive, experienced as a result of playing the $800 trousers drinking game, regardless of what liquid(s) or powder(s) are chosen by the player(s).
This isn’t really related to the video but Simon must be told this. Stop cleaning your glasses with your shirt. I work in optics and you’d be surprised how bad that can be for the lens. More likely to lead to scratches, and even if there are ones you don’t notice, over time the micro abrasions can lead to fogging of the lens. Also if it has any coatings like anti reflective/glare or scratch proof coating or whatever, a shirt can make it peel off. Use a micro fiber cloth.
In that case, maybe you can answer this. What do I actually use for cleaning my glasses? I know there are specific wipes like microfilament or whatever they are for cleaning them, but other than that do I wash them with soap or dish soap? I guess I’m not supposed to use like alcohol wipes because of the coating on the lenses right? Are These ultrasound bath thingies that you can buy any good? And I saw some microfilament wipe that supposedly prevents the glasses from fogging up. Do they work? Sorry but this has been bugging me for years. My glasses are very expensive and I always try to do everything right to make them last obviously.
Simon, that was petty in all the right ways!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As far as accidents, you can feel fine during the accident, and feel all of the pain the next day. IJS. I realized after visiting the doctor that the teenager who rear ended up fucked up the muscle fibers that support my spine, when I was in mine. I was completely stopped, because there was utility work being done on the road next to me. She rear-ended me at 35 mph in her parents' pick up truck, because the brake pedal didn't work properly and her foot got completely stuck underneath it. She totaled my Hyundai Sonata. I had to quit one of the multiple jobs I worked because I couldn't work.
Thank you for selecting ^ Trousersgate ^. It was so annoying to see or hear it on the news that some egotistical phycho with power trying to ruin an immigrant owned family business. They eventually sold the business because the experience was so traumatic.
I'm undecided about it. Other comments claim that the dry-cleaners were trying to do him dirty and were racist. So I don't know how to see it, but ofc the amount of money was ridiculous.
RBG tried to hang on until Trump was out of office to avoid an appointment from him. Had she stepped down it would have guaranteed this. She’s a legend for trying to save us all from what we are now stuck with.
She wanted to be the one on the bench over a republican term. Not just be a democratic presence. The presence. She had the options to ensure a dem on the bench. Instead she removed all option for that outcome in the, very very likely event of her death. Her actions don't reflect this "democratic opposition" motive.
@@damenwhelan3236 She had several bouts with cancer. The first was in 1999, when she was still a relatively new member of the Supreme Court. The second was in 2009, while Obama was in office, but she had the cancerous tumor surgically removed and was only out for about a week, believed to be in the clear at the time. She didn't have another recurrence until 2018, when Trump was already president. She had no reason to step down after her bout with cancer early in Obama's term beyond being at the ripe old age of 76, and she seemed to be in relatively good health beyond that. It is worth noting that she was only a few years older than several of her peers - Kennedy and Scalia were only 3 years younger than her and had both been on the bench at least 5 years longer than she had, while Breyer was only 5 years younger and was appointed to the bench a year after her. Breyer stayed on through Trump's term and stepped down 2 years after Biden took office. It is also worth noting that she might have considered retiring at the end of Obama's term had the Republicans not blocked his attempts at appointing a new judge during his final year in office, leaving a seat on the Supreme Court vacant for the better part of a year.
She had the option to retire early and get a dem justice to replace her. That wasnt what she wanted. However her health didnt hold out and she ended up a shell, having her aides basically doing the job for her. She was always very political i dont see her as a good justice. However she was on the court for decades and presided over many influential cases. She is partially responsible for shaping our country.

I don't think it's petty at all for standing up for your wife. The person who refused to pay was being a douche bag. They deserved the threat of lawyers.
Great video, Simon! Thanks again
For sure, its not petty! Idk what she does but us artists are always getting shit on by clients! You just did what we all wish we could do
100% agree. Thats not being petty, thats just holding someone accountable for their actions.

Was this a good use of my time? YES! It gave me and my fellow buyers great satisfaction and we spent no cash on it. Maybe we should do this kind of thing more often.
Glad I am not the only one that has done that.
Someone has to be the one to do it, might as well be me, I always think when I go off on a similar crusade.
I waged war against a vendor on Facebook that was selling a set of “life-like Green Dragon eye” dice (yes, I’m a geek, surprised?). After paying £32.56 including shipping and transaction fees and waiting 3 weeks I received a solitary die (should have been 7) that in no way resembled the “life like”features advertised. After several cordial email exchanges they offered me $4 reimbursement IF I RETURNED THE DIE (which of course I’d have to pay postage for)!
After that whenever their advert appeared in any of the DnD related groups I’m in, I’d post a screen shot of their review on ScamAdviser (something I should have checked before parting with my cash) of 1/100:- Highly Suspect.
I continued my crusade by repeating this with every advertiser doing the same, as it it turned out they were all the same vendor trading as various websites. After several other fellow DnD enthusiasts began doing the same eventually the adverts disappeared but unfortunately I never got my refund and am left with a sole disappointing die.
scams like that only work cause most people think "ah fuck thsoe 4$" good on you. i am the same way. the amount isnt the problem. it is the point that its MY money.
I'm the same way brother
I love how Simon always apologized for tangents but I'm literally here because of all the tangents 😂
I come for the tangents but in my estimation he went to far on RBG (Ruth Bader Ginsburg the only persom Chuck Norris is scared off well)
I come for the tangents and stay for the script
I remember when he used to apologize for not pre-reading the scripts
Lorelei, your editing is absolutely top notch!! Your editing on here has always been fantastic, but you've blasted it out of the park on this one. Thank you!! Hopefully you'll make the opening roll like the writer does, you deserve it.
Also, for the benefit of one Mr. F. Boi, 'lengthly' is an archaic form of the word 'lengthy'. Call it a quirk. Like the difference between 'jag-u-ar', and 'jag-uar'. They're both the same thing and we know this so, contextually, either are perfectly acceptable.
We can all agree that the only unacceptable way to say jaguar is the one from the southern United States - 'jag-wire'
The guy who got lost for several days inside an abandoned coal mine and had to be rescued, tried to sue the mine owners for not taking adequate steps to keep him out of the mine. This was after he freely admitted he'd broken into the mine to see if there was anything left behind that was worth stealing.😂
Funny thing is, had he just said he was nosey and stupid, he'd of had a claim. Lol
That‘s insane 😂
That mine was mine and he should have minded where he was mining. Minding his route must have slipped his mind, and my mine was all his mind could mind for a time.
They should have awarded him the $800 for the trousers and then fined him for the defendant's legal fees, wasted time, and some punitive damages.
he's such a legend for doing that for his wife, as someone who has done freelance work situations like that are so frustrating
These edits are spot-on.
Come for the Blaze, stay for the roasting of Simon by the editor!
I'm convinced roasting Simon with edits is a job requirement for Brain Blaze
Sam has no respect whatsoever for Simon and it's glorious
Edit* I think it's Sam, might be Jen? I know she does Casual Criminalist and/or Decoding the Unknown.
@@cleverusername9369So, I went to the end of the video to check, and it's Lorelei, a new name, to me at least, but they are a really good editor, imo. Another great addition to the Blazement. Nice catch, Simon. Tho, that makes me question if Sam has died in there because Simon forgot about him again.
One love ❤️
Edit: I also loved the Steven He clip. Really an unexpected, but very welcome crossover.
Though I do wish some of the gags would stay on for a second or two longer. Some of them have too much text. And maybe you're like, "You're not actually supposed to bother reading it all!" But I can't help it. I'm compelled to, so I'm constantly rewinding the video by ten seconds, and it significantly decreases my enjoyment, but I can't help myself
Thank you, I do my best! Sam and I work hard to make sure Simon is fully and thoroughly roasted by the end of each video.
SHOUT-OUT TO LORELEI ON THIS EPISODE'S EDITING! The lawyer commercial's caption was so funny, and the mesothelioma jingle killed me. It just went on and on and on. So many laughs per minute.
And every time I see Brennan Lee Mulligan, my soul smiles.
Ah Simon, I've nearly burst out laughing so many times on my lengthily bus ride home😂😂😂
Many years ago, I passed by the famous West 4th Street basketball court in NYC. A guy in a pickup game was a dead ringer for Michael Jordan, I mean scarily so. Then he started playing. The resemblance ended. I don't know if this was the guy in your story. If so, Michael should sue him for defamation of character by way of lack of talent.
Or it was Michael and he was hungover or just having an off day....
LOL oof
Dave I’m not sure if you’re still in Portsmouth but I will now be questioning every blind man I find until I can find you. You sir are a legend and it would be a treat to meet you
It's 5 am. So many tangents I don't actually know what Simon is talking about but I'm entertained regardless.
The editing today was on point, great job, I had a great laugh at the jacket coming off, and taking a sip of coffee. 🤣
Those moments when Simon acts like he doesn't know the US political system and yet perfectly describes how screwed up our Supreme Court is 🤣
Oh shut up and change it
Except for the part where the whole reason he mentioned the Supreme Court was because he wondered if the judge in this episode was on it, and even after literally saying out loud *almost* accurately how few judges are on it, he didn't realize that he would have been identified by the writer as a Supreme Court judge, and Simon probably would've recognized his name as well if he'd been on the Supreme Court.
Best thing to watch before sleeping
nothing calms me down more than a rambling coke head.
Yes! I love having information for my brain to nibble so it can hush up and let me sleep 😂❤
It's 3:30 in the afternoon!
Where I am, at least.
Actually I could go for a nap
As soon as Simon’s voice starts up now, my dogs chill right out. Nap time!
I get too intellectually stimulated by these to sleep... Especially when Danny writes, that's some high brow shit bro.
I’m in the UK, I had a phone call from one of these claim companies and was told, “you have been in a car accident”, so I played along, then I was asked about it, well after a while, they hanged up on me after I told them all about it and where it happened, I don’t think they liked that the accident was in Grand Theft Auto 5 online 😂
As far as the drunk driving thing: third-party liability for bars is a very real thing here in the US.
Kinda seems like a useful tool to incentivize not selling to extremely drunk or underage people.
They would have got in trouble for that anyway from law I say but I can guarantee whoever sold her the drink was probably fired even before the suing happened@@nicholaslewis8594
True but the case was dismissed with prejudiced and no settlement award... the parties though did have to pay their own court fees. Also it depends on the state. In NC it's only responsible if they served someone visibly drunk. Also it's a no fault state so they only have to argue the plaintiff of one percent at fault
@@zacharythebeau163 Yeah, they would need to show security camera footage to prove that the customer was visibly drunk, but if the Bar had one of those certifications from (I think) the ATF then all the bartenders should've been certified, which would mean they should know how to count drinks, and even if someone doesn't seem too drunk there are still limits on how many drinks a certain person can have in a certain amount of time based on a number of factors. I took that certification a while ago so I forgot some of it, but I will never forget how crazy long the online course is. It took me almost 2 full 8 hour shifts of coming into the restaurant and sitting down at the computer for the whole shift each time to get through it, and that was without having to retake any of the test. I found the scientific nature of the info being taught very interesting, tbh.
Simon FINALLY realized that what I thought was a lisp or other type of speech problem, was deliberate misreading of the word lengthy. I can not find a definition for the non-word "lengthly".
it's not a word. He also had the wrong definition for the word "lightening", which actually means "to lighten or reduce the weight of something. I guess it could technically be used for brightening/illuminating something in the past tense, but in the example sentence he used, the word that he should've used was "lit" as in, " I lit the room up by turning on the butane camping lantern on the desk in the corner." or" I used my camping lantern to light up the room." Lightening just makes no sense in those sentences or the one he used.
Being arrested for stealing a cup of tea?
That has to be the most British thing ever.🧐
The time when someone sued Redbull because it "didn't give them wings" always makes me laugh.
Might not be petty but definitely hilarious
Yes, I heard that too and have noticed that the ad text never says "wings" anymore, it says "wiiiiiiings". Presumably changed to give them a way out for the next idiot who tries to sue them.
That wasn't about if it actually "gave you wings". It was about the deceptive advertising of saying it could boost both physical and metal abilities including but not limited to improved reaction speeds and concentration. And caffeine while giving you energy, cannot boost your physical or mental performance above your normal limits.
This is like that lady who sued McDonald's for her spilling their hot coffee in her lap, if you look into the details it really wasn't as silly as the headlines make it look.
I got a free 4 pack out of that.
Yea they handed out $10 Red Bull credits to anyone who asked for them
Redbull's response was even better. The only change to their marketing they made was to say Wiiings instead of Wings XD
Simon, you're a great guy for standing up for your wife like that.
One thing in North America is that the server/bartender is the one responsible for how much you drink. They have to gauge whether or not you’ve been drinking before, limit how much you drink, and can be held responsible if something happens while you still have alcohol in your system. Trust me, it can make work difficult
Same in Australia. Or at least in Victoria it's the same.
Simon, you're an idiot, it's lenghty, we all knew but you. You're a legend.
Also no you were not petty for telling your wife to lawyer up and you'd be supporting her to get paid. You were being a great partner. ❤

My father looked like Kenny Rogers, so much so that he fooled Kenny’s mother and sister. Dad loved it, he got special treatment everywhere he went. He was invited by Kenny to tour with him as a distraction so Kenny could escape from the crowds more easily. But Dad did have some problems that some men wouldn’t consider a problem, he was constantly attacked by women, and there were times we had to run and dive into the car to get away. He did eventually shave his beard to finally get some peace and quiet.
Someone who made a life out of readin’ people’s faces would know the difference.
@@randomperson6433 Possibly, but when you fool the person's mother and other family members from just a few feet away, then you’re about as close as a lookalike can get. We pulled a joke on Dolly Parton with Dad walking out of the dressing room moments before they were to go on stage. She was fooled and couldn’t stop talking about how much dad looked like Kenny. Even after the show with Dad sitting beside Kenny, no one knew which one was Dad and which one was Kenny. I have hundreds of these stories with different people and friends of Kenny’s, I have a great story about Bill Murray not believing that Dad wasn’t Kenny during a Saturday night live taping but it’s very long and I’m not going to go into it here. We all had a blast and got to meet a lot of famous people, Dad didn’t try to look like Kenny Rogers, Dad was older than Kenny so technically Kenny looked like dad.
Love the Red Dwarf clip Sam!!! Simon, par for the course as always. Carry on lads!
Wow! Dear Not-Sam Editor, you did an amazingly savage & thus funny job!
Great video, as always. Lorelei, you are a fantastic Not-Sam! I laughed out loud repeateadly. :)
Thank you so much!
@@EveryFairyDiesyeah if you are actually “not-Sam” I gave him credit for a lot of memes today. Insert not in front of sams name.
About 30-40 years ago, New Zealand got rid of the right to sue - best law change ever.
Was just gonna comment on that. Yep, life is way more enjoyable when everyone isn't worried about being sued all the time & just accepts that sh*t happens.
Who punishes businesses for their misbehavior then? Do you have a specific government agency to report the things you'd normally sue over to? Honestly I quite like lawsuits as I harbor the hope to one day be in a position to sue some company for enough money to not have to work for the rest of my life, even losing a limb would be worth it.
@@omgandwtf1 We are blessed with strong commercial and medical laws which are used to punish bad businesses. Yes we have the Commerce Commission to report to. We can also take a business to court to recover proven losses. Ruining another persons life or destroying a business for financial gain is not a high bar to set.
@HorthornNZ laws that effectively punish businesses if only America had those, it's mostly just fines that are ultimately inconsonsquitsl to the total revenue of the business. Really the smallest corporate fine should be 10% of total assets. And jail time for the people in charge should be common place as well as measures like being banned from earning more than a low set amount per year for a period of time, basically force ceo's to live at minimum wage for a decade or two as punishment. After all it's really painful to go from being rich to being poor.
@@omgandwtf1 Maybe you are right but our system does seem to work, most businesses do the right thing and we very seldom ruin anyone.
Feels like old form Simon, the rants today absolutely off the rails, love it! 😂
Dying laughing from the checking the trap door bit
The tangents were particularly strong today, and I loved it.
Honestly, make another channel where Simon's employees and friends just provide a number of prompts and Simon has to read one and just ramble for a minimum of five minutes, and only reads the next prompt after that five minutes or reaching the end of his tangent.
I'd watch the shit out of that.
Editing ON POINT in this episode. Nice work Lorelei!
Not petty at all. Standing on principal but more importantly, standing up for your wife is AWESOME.
Great job with the memes, Lorelei!
I love the times Simon really goes hard on the tangents, it really gives an upbeat mood to the video!
I have to say, the mic arm is great not just for Sam but for everyone else too. I was always annoyed by those random thumping sounds. Often sounded like someone was pounding on my door. 😂😂 #ThankSam
Seconded. I don't mind it when Simon violently stabs his giant hunting knife into the desk, but the random thumps when he pounds the desk were annoying, especially with headphones.
@@cleverusername9369 Yes, we need more violent and loud noises instead of subtle off-sounds.
If a publican is someone owning a pub, does that make a re-publican someone who owned a pub, then didn't for a bit and now owns a pub again? Because if that's true, there should be a lot more pubs in the U.S.A..
The "lengthy" thing is actually really funny to me, because I have heard Simon say "lengthly" many times in videos, and I always just assumed it was a weird difference between British and American English, like how the British add a syllable to "Aluminum."
Me too, noticed it but figured it was a British thing 😂
We don’t “add” a syllable. Its scientifically accepted name is aluminium. You’re the ones saying it wrong.
Video just landed, watched the outtake preroll and now I want a pint down the pub! 😂
I used to work in a place that demanded that you have ladder training. Someone tried to go up a ladder and I said do not go up the ladder unless you have been ladder trained because if you fall off the boss won't pay you any sick pay because it's your fault. The funny thing was the boss had asked the person to go up the ladder and they didn't know the rule about having to be trained. I worked in another place and one of the rules was not to squirt thinners at another person and set fire to their trousers 🤦♀️
Rules are rules for a reason. Quite often that reason is written in blood.
At my brother's work a new guy was eager to prove what an excellent worker he was (it was his second day on the job), and forgot to don a mask before entering the hull of the ship. He died within a few minutes.
Now they are keeping the gear for entering said spaces in a separate building in the yard and you cannot enter the ship without checking off at said building with gear on.
At another part of the worksite one guy decided to take a shot cut after his break and not follow the scheduled walkway. He was turned into pancake instantly when he stepped in front of a massive truck. The walkway was there just so people would NOT step in forrt of these massive vehicles where it was difficult for the driver to spot if anyone stepped in front of him.
I feel like if the boss knowingly told him to go up the ladder and knowingly did not inform them of the policy on ladder training/did not ensure this person had gone through ladder training, and an accident occurred, then this person may have a case.
Years ago I worked in a restaurant and was told by management I couldn't go 2ft up a step ladder to change a light bulb as I hadn't done ladder training. A few weeks later the same manager wanted me to climb on a table to hang decorations from the ceiling
Wow!!! I am so smashed now after playing the Simon drinking game during the $800 trousers tangent
19:00 Ya pretty sure here in Canada the bar would be responsible on both counts too. Gotta get your smart serve license to serve drinks, and part of that is knowing when to cut someone off.
That RBG rant was so cathartic. I rarely ever hear that opinion from anyone but me lol
The edits on this video are perfect, chef's kiss to the editer.
And you where really good as well Simon.
I'm so here for Simon lawyering up to fight for his wife! Love it!
Actually, the bartender/bar can be held responsible for over-serving. They can refuse service if they think you're too drunk.
Yeah but that's not the issue, the issue is that she drove and is blaming them for that
@@maxbracegirdle9990I recently got a TABC certificate in Texas, and in the training course they make it clear that if someone does ANYTHING that can be attributed to being overserved, it WILL be on the server since here there are "safe haven" laws that protect the establishment from liability if they require employees to get their own liquor license.
@@maxbracegirdle9990 If she was drunk and they have video footage of them continuing to serve her even though they should of cut her off. They can be held liable for her decision making after that. Not saying its right. It on you if you drink then drive. But they call it responsibility of care when ya work behind a bar in Australia.
Simon watching Whistlin Diesel is hilarious for some reason, but absolutely makes sense.
Your assessment of RBG is pretty spot on. She could have resigned any time under Obama and didn't
When Simon said he thought it was Lengthly I quietly said to myself "its ok Simon, English isnt ur first language" and then palmfaced directly 1 second later lol
The funny part is I'm fairly sure I've seen comments in his videos about it. But I don't think he reads the comments, so...
TBF, South Carolina roads are ATROCIOUS. I live in Charleston, the most populated city in the state, and even in some of the richest neighborhoods, there are potholes that will absolutely take you out. However if you know this fact, you absolutely shouldn’t get drunk before driving home (or ever drive home drunk).
Respect to Simon for standing up for his wife. I would of done the exactly same thing tbh 😂
I've been noticing Simon saying "lengthly" for years!
RBG's problem was NOT that simple; if she had quit under Obama, her seat would have been subject to the same problem the previous seat was: Mitch McConnell stonewalling Obama's choice. Look up Merrick Garland. RBG was hoping she would be able to outlast McConnell.
Problem is it would have been a lot harder to stonewall two of them. Also she knew longenough before hand that he couldn't have used the same crap excuse if she'd retired earlier. She could knew about it and could have retired before the election year.
All that said, it would have been harder for McConnell to stop Obama putting her replacement in, but it would not have been impossible. He still could havestopped it. So it is hard to say which would have been right.
And more, while this move may or may not have worked out, she was still an amazing justice and did a lot of good. Even if her early retirement would have 100% guaranteed Obama got the pick, it still wouldn't tarnish her career.
Right people forget he was Senate Pro Tempore. That's -how- he was able to refuse to call a vote. What Obama -should- have done with MG was use the temporary assignment of MG which is allowed without congress, as long as they aren't holding a vote. This would have forced a vote as if they had pulled the refuse to vote with mg being temporarily assigned, he would be considered confirmed at the close of the congressional session. So he would have been confirmed by no contest. The alternative for them then is to hold the vote.
@@zogar8526 You vastly underestimate republicans ability to fruck things up.
@craigh5236 no, I know they can pull some shit. But she knew with enough advance she could have retired in Obama first or second year. Being that early would have made it basically impossible to deny Obama that pick. But I do agree, not totally impossible. It's hard to know for sure which but, but odds are if she retired early enough Obama would have been able to get that pick.
@@zogar8526 He begged her to retire in 2014. I'm still angry with her.
Simon is the first person in human history that had a positive interaction on Twitter.
Im surprisingly on the same page with Simon on RBG. It was a extremely terrible strategic move to stay on the court while dying of cancer.
"It's hot out, it's like 25 degrees outside!"
*cries in Australian*
During the section when Simon was talking about the Free Solo guy not being able to feel fear due a brain abnormality, I know he was probably saying it in jest when he suggested that the guy should have someone assist him by telling him what is and isn't dangerous. However, the reason why it isn't needed is because it's not that he's unable to tell if something is dangerous but that he is simply not afraid of something being dangerous. Whether that counts as impaired mental capacity would be contentious, since being fearful (e.g. needle phobia) can itself lead to someone being found as lacking mental capacity (for a particular decision).
Simon standing up for freelancer's while simultaneously keeping several of them chained up in a basement w/o pay.... yeah checks out.
Thank you Simon for releasing your best video ever.
I was having a really rough day and this video really made me smile, thanks Simon and team
I had a home care patient once who was walking in the middle of a poorly lit street while incredibly drunk and high who got hit by a car. Their family bemoaned to me how they sued the driver and failed. It was super hard to act empathetic for how they we’re struggling in the suit when I really thought it was the patient’s fault for putting themselves in obvious harm and the driver shouldn’t be to blame for their behavior.
A mate of mine was driving home from work late at night from night shift around midnight and in the right hand lane and slowing down to do a right hand turn when a guy stepped out from the bushes in the median strip right in front of her car - we are in Australia. He was so drunk he rebounded up the bonnet, half through the windscreen then rolled off. He got up and dusted himself off and started to walk away but was stopped by a cop car who was about three cars behind hers and saw the whole thing. The guy was so drunk he didn't get hurt but my friend was in shock and shaking.
Smileyfish, I get your lack of empathy/sympathy, but if it was your home care patient as you say, aren't you the one to blame? You had one job. Not let them walk in traffic. 😂
Massive upvote for the Red Dwarf clip 😅
THANK YOU SAM!! Every time Simon hit the desk it would kick the subwoofer and souded like someone hit my truck. I'd always tense up expecting a jolt.
THANK YOU TWITTER PERSON!! I've been watching Simon since the white room and no beard, and thought lengthly was just a British way of saying lengthy.
Are you watching Brain Blaze in traffic??
Sam didn't edit this one. It was by Lorelei Brown, a new editor. She was trapped in the basement to help Sam, as his shackles were weighing him down.
@susinator Sam complained about the table mic thumping when Simon hits the table. Thus the new stand.
@maxbracegirdle9990 no. I'm a truck driver. That thump sounds like the initial contact of some idiot who cant back, rubbing against the mirror. Of the dozen or so trucks I've been assigned over the last 20 years, only this new one hasn't been hit...yet. Though, I did get rear-ended hard enough to significantly damage the trailer door frame.
2:08 I had to stop the video until I stopped crying for laughter. Where the heck do you find these things??
We need a Simon's Tangent Supercut episode.
Man these lengthly tangents just keep getting better
In American trespass comes with a potential immediate death sentence.
I have subbed to every channel Simon narrates simply for the tangents. It's the highlight of my notifications to see he's posted anything, I know it's going to be multi-level entertainment. Top notch content sir! Absolutely love it!
"Stop it. Get some help." was notably absent from the segment about Michael Jordan.
Bit of belly at the start there for the ladies!!!😂
So, in the UK, its NOT illegal to trespass, but it IS illegal to bark at a dog in front of police?!
trespass is a civil matter, barking at a police dog can be classed as a public order offence . . .
Yeah, I always though maybe the British add an L and make it "lengthly," but it's always stood out to me
I had a friend in college that couldn't differentiate between noxious and nauseous. She was always convinced people were using both wrong.
Simon, your lengthLy tangents are among my favorite things on the internet!
Yeah I'm sorry but that Ally Law lawsuit was not petty, it was GENIUS
I love that when he took his jacket off, the editor put in that whistle....😂😂😂
RBG was hoping that a democratic, or more moderate president would pick her replacement. Tried to out live the Trump presidency.
She didnt step down during Obama because the republican led congress refused to vote on his picks
bar probably got in trouble for serving someone underage, but not her injuries
THANK YOU!
As an American woman I felt not that RGB was just trying to hold on to her place, but that she was holding on to protect our rights. Roe v Wade was overturned almost as soon as she was gone. I mourn the loss of a truly great American Justice, but I grieve for the loss of my bodily autonomy, safety, and right to make personal, potentially life-saving decisions regarding appropriate health care, even more.
She could’ve left when she had the senate but she didn’t cause she believed her own hype
After what was said When Scalia died During Obama's final year.The same rules should've applied to her death since she died 2 weeks before the election vs over a year.
@Dragonmaster0118 Rules for thee, not for me. That's always been Mitch's modus operandi. The entire GOP, really.
When you said "Have you guys seen the Whistlin Diesel channel" my first thought was "for fucks sake Simon, you did not start another bloody channel did you"
Wow Simon. You got some brass ones to critique Ruth Bader Ginsberg like that. You do make a point that judges and, by extension, politicians should gracefully step down due to advanced age or illness. Just look at Diane Feinstein, ironically her slogan could have been "from my cold dead hands" at this point.
The whole "appointed for life" thing seems strange to me. For the human vegetables serving as members in the house of representatives one would think the parties and voters would see to that not happening.
Lighting - light a room.

I think you were confusing the words 'lengthy' and 'lengthily'. So I do think it's a rather common occurrence cause 'lengthy' & 'lengthly' do both sound correct xD
Had a slightly similar situation to your dads crash- my brother had gotten his truck back from a shop and theyd failed to attach his breaks correctly resulting in a minor rear ending. No one was hurt and my dad offered to pay for the other person repairs out of pocket (he offered up to about 2k, though the damages were likely only about $5-800 range). Initially the person agreed, only to later turn around and attempt to sue for neck and back pain, trying for $10-15k. It turned into a giant case were (if I remember correctly) the lady was defrauding her insurance among other things. If she hadnt been greedy, she'd have made a decent amount from my dad but ended up not getting paid and facing other legal convictions.
My husband has worked in several restaurants with bars, and the laws were pretty much the same across several states. First off, the bar would be in some seriously deep doodoo for not checking her ID before selling her alcohol. Though, if she had a friend there who was over 21 who bought the drinks for her, I suppose the bar would be in little to no trouble since they technically didn't serve her. They could kick her and her friends out if they were caught, but the staff can't babysit all of their patrons all of the time. The friend(s) who bought the drinks for her, on the other hand, would absolutely be liable and could be in serious legal trouble. Secondly, bars are supposed to cut you off if you appear visibly intoxicated. And, if you "pre-game" and come in already tipsy, they're not supposed to serve you at all. And third, in order to help prevent patrons from getting totally hammered, bars generally have a max number of drinks a person can be served. At the places my husband worked, the max was, I think, 3. Pro tip from my husband: If you want to get hammered at a place with a drink maximum, order a Long Island Iced Tea. It doesn't matter how much alcohol is in your drink. If you order a small beer or a humongous margarita, both still count as one drink. A Long Island Iced Tea contains something like 5 shots of alcohol. But, since they're all served mixed together in a single glass (a rather large one at that) it still technically counts as only one mixed drink. So, you can order 3 of those and drink the equivalent of 15 shots. I'm not saying you SHOULD, I'm just saying you technically CAN. Do with that info what you will, but do it at your own risk.
I wish a Long Island had 5 shots but it’s about 2.5, still more than a beer or a shot. They put half shots of each. Some places like AMC measure out tiny splashes of each so it doesn’t add up to more than 1.
@@redb.5533 I don't care for the drink at all, so I am definitely no expert on it. Though, I have seen it made different ways at different places. The only chain "bar" my husband ever worked for was Applebee's. They were the ones who made it super strong. And, it's been quite a long time since he's worked there, so they may have changed it by now. But, yeah, I've seen some places make it with mostly soda and just a small splash of alcohol. So, maybe I should have added the disclaimer "Your experience may vary based on location." 😁
Actually most states limit the amount of alcohol added to mixed drinks. Usually to the same amount of hard liquor you can have at once. The exception is if the drink is designed for more than one person, in which case they can say it's for two if there are two people there they can, but neither one can get another until it's finished... this all varies by states though as the ttb and atf do have certain restrictions it's mostly on the production, transport, and sale if it. Like technically bars can't pour out beer other than stuff served and taxes already (by the actually consumer). Anything else they technically have to fill a alcohol destruction form and it can't be poured into a sink. Until exemption with COVID bars actually had to have a distributor that sold it to them come take it and the brewery had to do it, or the brewery had to send someone certified... though that's not often practiced if we're being honest.
FYI, even if an underage person has a "friend" buy the drinks, that's what's called a Third Party Sale, and they can and will get in trouble for it.
I love it when I get accosted by the "have you had an accident in the last X years" guys in the street. My response is always "no but my parents had one about 40 years ago"
This is at least the third time I’ve heard Simon freak out about Alex Honnold’s lack of fear, and his proposed solution has been different every time… the incredulous horror never changes though 😂
Simon: "I don't know what Chris Jericho or David looks like".
Dave: "Neither do I?
I take no responsibility for any and all effects, ill or positive, experienced as a result of playing the $800 trousers drinking game, regardless of what liquid(s) or powder(s) are chosen by the player(s).
Simon's tangents are lengthly 😂
And lengthy too.
Simon cuts short Danny's intros because they're too long. Proceeds to add 10 minutes of tangent before even starting to read the into
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for all the added sound effects Lorelei. Great work on the Edit.
This isn’t really related to the video but Simon must be told this. Stop cleaning your glasses with your shirt. I work in optics and you’d be surprised how bad that can be for the lens. More likely to lead to scratches, and even if there are ones you don’t notice, over time the micro abrasions can lead to fogging of the lens. Also if it has any coatings like anti reflective/glare or scratch proof coating or whatever, a shirt can make it peel off. Use a micro fiber cloth.
In that case, maybe you can answer this. What do I actually use for cleaning my glasses? I know there are specific wipes like microfilament or whatever they are for cleaning them, but other than that do I wash them with soap or dish soap? I guess I’m not supposed to use like alcohol wipes because of the coating on the lenses right? Are These ultrasound bath thingies that you can buy any good? And I saw some microfilament wipe that supposedly prevents the glasses from fogging up. Do they work? Sorry but this has been bugging me for years. My glasses are very expensive and I always try to do everything right to make them last obviously.
Simon, that was petty in all the right ways!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As far as accidents, you can feel fine during the accident, and feel all of the pain the next day. IJS. I realized after visiting the doctor that the teenager who rear ended up fucked up the muscle fibers that support my spine, when I was in mine. I was completely stopped, because there was utility work being done on the road next to me. She rear-ended me at 35 mph in her parents' pick up truck, because the brake pedal didn't work properly and her foot got completely stuck underneath it. She totaled my Hyundai Sonata. I had to quit one of the multiple jobs I worked because I couldn't work.
Thank you for selecting
^ Trousersgate ^. It was so annoying to see or hear it on the news that some egotistical phycho with power trying to ruin an immigrant owned family business. They eventually sold the business because the experience was so traumatic.
Sad
I'm undecided about it. Other comments claim that the dry-cleaners were trying to do him dirty and were racist. So I don't know how to see it, but ofc the amount of money was ridiculous.
Aust Lengthy is correct. Lightening or lightning, both are allowed
RBG tried to hang on until Trump was out of office to avoid an appointment from him. Had she stepped down it would have guaranteed this. She’s a legend for trying to save us all from what we are now stuck with.
You know she was being pressed to step down before the orange one even announced his candidacy, right?
So she should have stepped down during Obama.
She wanted to be the one on the bench over a republican term. Not just be a democratic presence. The presence.
She had the options to ensure a dem on the bench. Instead she removed all option for that outcome in the, very very likely event of her death.
Her actions don't reflect this "democratic opposition" motive.
@@damenwhelan3236 She had several bouts with cancer. The first was in 1999, when she was still a relatively new member of the Supreme Court. The second was in 2009, while Obama was in office, but she had the cancerous tumor surgically removed and was only out for about a week, believed to be in the clear at the time. She didn't have another recurrence until 2018, when Trump was already president.
She had no reason to step down after her bout with cancer early in Obama's term beyond being at the ripe old age of 76, and she seemed to be in relatively good health beyond that. It is worth noting that she was only a few years older than several of her peers - Kennedy and Scalia were only 3 years younger than her and had both been on the bench at least 5 years longer than she had, while Breyer was only 5 years younger and was appointed to the bench a year after her. Breyer stayed on through Trump's term and stepped down 2 years after Biden took office.
It is also worth noting that she might have considered retiring at the end of Obama's term had the Republicans not blocked his attempts at appointing a new judge during his final year in office, leaving a seat on the Supreme Court vacant for the better part of a year.
She had the option to retire early and get a dem justice to replace her. That wasnt what she wanted. However her health didnt hold out and she ended up a shell, having her aides basically doing the job for her. She was always very political i dont see her as a good justice. However she was on the court for decades and presided over many influential cases. She is partially responsible for shaping our country.
So funny that you showed a clip of Rimmer, immediately after I just thought that Simon sounded exactly like Rimmer with something he said! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“$800 for trousers?“ scoffs Simon, whilst flashing his $16k gold Rolex Submariner to the camera. 😂
Whilst holding a chipped mug haha, the many contradictions
