You ain't no shit of coke. We here in cali used do eight balls in one hit. Well try to. We usually get to bout 2grams before we back up n dont cough on the line. Good times. 5years clean off coke
Also coke effects everyone differently. I have multiple medical problems brain wise so coke actually helped a bit but after long use I went crazier. 5 days 4 nights I stayed up on coke. I heard people calling my name talking to me who weren't there. I'd black out not remembering half the stuff I did. I once gave a gram coke to a seagull in Mariana bay in San leandro/Lorenzo area. Man that bird acted as if his legs weren't there. Man those were some times. Now with fent I dont even kick coke bags on ground. I look n watch from a distance who picks it up. Drugs effect everyone differently and the dosage is different. I never had a nose bleed, but god forbid my right hand goon. Every time he'd do a gram, boom nose bleed. Once in a while he would be too slow and ruin a batch coke cus it became bloody. I became responsible and told em nah home straw bumps now. I'd cut a straw load a quarter inch of it with coke. Put it in dudes nose and tell him lean back and sniff. I'll tell you after the first time that those guys only wanted straw bumps. Quicker and heavier during first few hits. After that its like novacaine in the nose. Shit all numb
I was in two minds about whether ending on a live suicide was a good idea. But it would have felt a bit odd to immediately follow that with a weather forecaster's trousers falling down or something.
I had a feeling that the last one was going to be the one you wrote, the politician that killed himself live, or the jilted ex lover news reporter that killed the other news reporter live and I think the cameraman too (don't quote me on that last bit)
FYI: as someone who is missing an ovary due to a cyst, specifically a teratoma, it does not reduce your chances of getting pregnant. Your other ovary just takes over and works double time. Just throwing that out there. Signed: 8 months pregnant in a heat wave 🥵 Edit to say: I am not referring to those with chronic cyst issues such as PCOS. That’s a completely different issue. I’m referring to losing one ovary with nothing wrong with the other.
Danny's trolling skills have improved, usually he just get Simon slightly annoyed with a 15 minutes introduction but this was a masterpiece, I don't think I seen Simon this annoyed on this channel before and I seen it since it started.
I mean no disrespect, and I've loved brain blaze for over a year now, but I miss the format where Simon is reading from a tablet or paper. To me it has a more organic feel, like he's reading something in a newspaper and look up to go on tangents and discuss the content. Idk, the promt reading feels good for presentations, like the million edutainment channels Simon also has, but BB is a bit more laid back and casual. Much more a one man podcast, and less of a formal presentation. Just my 2 cents :) BB will forever be my favorite Simon production
Yea, it's been fun but I'm unsubbing for a bit. OGBB was a stellar distraction from life, and Simon turned it into any other show. Will mss Danny's writing, but offline is more interesting than Simon lately.
I think a lot of people miss the old BB style, the tangents are still there sometimes but the energy is so much lower. Guessing with two little ones now plus everything else maybe it just got a little too draining. Either way the topics are still interesting, Danny is still one of my favorite Factboy writers of all time. Even if Simon seems to have starved him in the basement so that he's only capable of 2500 words per script these days. Kevin was good too, More Kevin! And of course the wonderful Memeology of Sam. Still entertaining, and maybe once in a while, if we are lucky, we will get an OGBB style episode with a 10 minute intro, with Simon free ranging the set, going on epic tangents while waving his paper script around, doing rim shots and wearing zebra head masks. And that would be extra special.
Yes Sam, quality again, Danny, well done for causing the Factboy to have a minor meltdown! Class, always fun to watch. I’m glad Simon isn’t bouncing his leg at this one! 😉🤣
Yes, never ever split up that, Dynamic Duo of Sam and Danny. Always love it when Simon would have one his sensitive smooth-boi moments and Sam effs him up with, "HA!! GIRRRLEEEEE!!!".😂 I tried hard to get Sam to meme TF outa Simon wearing those dark colored Tees with his own likeness on them. It looked like Simon was paying tribute to Rene Angelil. 🤣
In Danny’s defense, I’m not sure where I would have placed the suicide story. It’s hard to ignore it, since everyone would be mentioning it in the comments if you did. It can’t be the intro because it might scare people away, and if you don’t put it last then everything after is is going to seem mild and in bad taste. There is some irony in a story of a tv presenter committing suicide as a protest against exploitive news stories being part of a series of exploitive tv stories.
Thank you for saying that, as I'd never heard of it & was thinking "why would you even include that!", but yeah, I get it now...even if I didn't get it at the moment, n apparently live under a rock.
@@naturefix290 That was about Bud Dwyer, who also shot himself on live tv. I actually remember the local news station aired the recording on the evening news, over the protests of at least one anchor. I was only a little kid, but remember the news saying something wasn't suitable for children, and my parents making me leave the room.
Holy carp, Simon now has TWO cameras! Anyone else shocked to see the wall and door right there?! I always figured the room continued on for at least 8-10’ further. My life is a lie!
Simon, here is something to cover on the sequel to this, Budd Dwyer, January 22, 1987 Press Conference from Harrisburg, PA. I saw it as a 4 1/2 year old live on TV. That was regrettable as he commits suicide live on TV in one of the most shocking incidents ever on TV at the time.
@James Armstrong I remember it too, and I would have been just shy of 4. Though I think what I remember is the local station replaying it, rather than the live version.
Good job Danny! I love to see Simon freak out. That was priceless. I love when Danny tosses in a death story in brain blaze. Simon always has the most shocked look on his face. Priceless.
Danny that was BRILLIANT. I doubt you can get the same reactions out of Simon (they were hillarious) again, but definitely the correct order for the stories this time.
I love that Dany is writing this knowing exactly how to push Simon’s buttons. Out of all of Simon’s writers they definitely have the best chemistry. Also, Sam is the Meme God.
I'm surprised you didn't include the guy who was filmed with a bomb around his neck. It actually detonated on live TV, I remember watching a Netflix documentary about it. I didn't think they would actually show it and was a bit shocked when they did.. it was seriously disturbing to watch.
That's probably why it's not included here - it's seriously disturbing and this is Brain Blaze. EDIT: I wrote that before I got to the point where Danny included an effing SUICIDE!!! Jesus.
That was the Pizza bomber case from Erie, Pa. The creator of the neck bomb was my metal shop teacher Mr. Rothstein . I actually watched this play out live on television from an FOB in Haditha, Iraq.
As a former long-term cocaine user, the amount that the chef was doing was definitely NOT a huge amount, at least not by the standards of a regular user. The chef's eyes absolutely look to me like he had already done a few lines prior to the camera landing on him. As far as doing lines with large bills goes, that's definitely a thing. Even if I was by myself, if I had several denominations and they were all equally crisp, I'd use the $100 - just because. Otherwise, if I had to use a bill, I'd use whichever one was the least mangled by circulation so that the majority of the coke went into my nose rather than getting stuck in the creases, folds, and dimples of the bill. To me, this is why a cut straw is preferable.
As someone with too much drug experience, that's not an obscene amount of coke. Easily doable. Sam and Danny are seriously making Simon crazy this round, and it's amazing!
I can confirm as a British person that visited the USA the enthusiasm of American staff is a bit off putting. It feels disingenuous as why would anyone be this excited to serve food.
@@POGAKAChaosOOH As an American I can answer this one! They probably aren't! They're almost certainly being told that they need to behave that way at threat of termination and also struggling to afford rent and food on the low pay as it is so they suck it up and yell about it or cry about it later when they're alone in the walk in freezer possibly icing a burn from a kitchen accident with a pack of mustard because they'll get fired for asking to go to the hospital 😊 welcome to our nightmare! 😊😁
@@holdendewit7088 That sucks buddy. I didn't even think that, like it's almost impossible to fire anyone in the UK on the spot. Really hope it get better mate.
> Is that actually a thing? Yes. The theory goes you're innocent until proven guilty, so while they don't want you on the front lines, withholding pay before being adjudicated guilty means they're punishing someone who is innocent.
For a more light hearted story: Nikel Pallat, former member of the German far-left punk-band "Ton Steine Scherben" was once invited to a talk show to discuss some political nonsense. At some point, he randomly pulls out an axe, which he somehow managed to smuggle into the studio and tries (and fails) to destroy the table they were sitting at to prove some point that probably only he understands. Afterwards, somewhat upset, he starts to steal the microphones still standing on the only mildly damaged table and walks out of the studio.
I remember bud dwyers suicide I'm pretty sure I saw it on RUclips too. Though this was back in the early 2000s of really early RUclips. When I first saw it I couldn't believe it was real just to find out later it was.
A lad in my class won the Blue Peter prize for building Tracy Island from Thunderbirds. Simon and I would have been in the same year group at school in the UK and I reckon everyone in their mid-30s who had a TV recieving the BBC out of all our 4-5 available channels would have watched that segment. Kudos to Toby...he did a pretty awesome job on that.
OMG. When the nice BBC lady blew up and fell over burning I laughed/hooted out loud enough to startle my cats. Something about the way you prefaced the bit, Simon made me not like her and oddly satisfied by the clip. This may make me a bad person. However, after faithfully watching almost every blaze on the channel this was my absolute favorite moment so far.
12:41 Would totally agree with you on this one. There are so many substances around the kitchen that are white and powdery that it's kind of inevitable that this kind of tomfoolery would take place.
Toddler: *falls over so gently they don't even cry* Wingsuit Person: *crashes head-first into mountainside at full speed* English people responding to both: You all right, luv?
The reason you hear about "paid leave" after someone does a bad is because there frequently is language in collective bargaining agreements that specify a union member is entitled to progressive discipline (as opposed to being fired on the spot for having a pink shirt or something). Under some circumstances, the contract specifies paid leave until the investigation is complete. Not great in a lot of cases, but IMHO it's a fair trade for protection from capricious termination. People complain about it, but remember, the employer has way more control over the employee than vice versa, and someone being out of work for six months unpaid while some bullshit allegation is investigated tends to ruin them financially. The same amount of money is way easier for an employer of any significance (like a municipal police department) to absorb. No sympathy; for years American employers have not only been able to control your ability to eat and pay rent, but also tell you what doctors you can see, when you can sleep, and can force you to work 24/7 with no repercussions. Then fire you for being 15 seconds late with no recourse.
I'm so glad Danny didn't include the reporter who was gunned down, along with her cameraman, by a disgruntled former co-worker while doing a live TV interview on the street. The interviewee was also shot, but survived.
I remember that, it was from where I grew up. My grandmother worked at the Woolworths next to the station, and I had met that reporter a few times when she stopped in. She was awesome.
I love the various shows Simon narrates, and generally find his tangents to be some mixture of amusing & informative. That being said, Simon says the name "Danny" a total of 18 times in this 23:46 video. 23 minutes is 1,380 seconds, + 46 seconds makes the video 1,426 seconds long. Divide that by 18, and that means Simon says "Danny", on average once every 79.2222222222 seconds. Just some useless information for those who don't care.
The cocaine section reminds me of a time I went to a concert and bought a funnel cake with only powdered sugar. While my friends were devouring the cake I was busy wiping my fingers on my nose. You know why. My friends found it amusing. Not 5 minutes later a girl walks up asking us to share the good stuff and getting mad we were not willing to share. I think we had already thrown away the carcass of the funnel cake and the fluffy white sugar. Oh well.
In my youth my flatmates and I had a massive housewarming party and for a joke put a large mirror over the top of the bath and left a big pile of icing sugar and some cards and straws on it. It was all fun and games until noise-control and a bunch of police officers came to shut down the party...
Fun fact: the girl you mentioned who made the bungee jump before workers connected the bungee cord to her, actually died from a heart attack during the fall.... so she may have died even if she hadn't jumped before they connected the bungee cord to her harness/ankles. *the video showing the suicide of Christine Chubbuck is vaulted at a law firm. And videos claiming to show the suicide are fake, because people are a-holes and do shit like that. Unrelated, as it wasn't on live TV, any video claiming to show the shooting of Brandon Lee while filming The Crow is also fake. Only one copy of that footage existed and was given to Lee's mother, who had the footage destroyed.
I briefly worked in the restaurant business as a teenager. The employees were constantly doing drugs, not that there’s anything wrong with that! Also, in general, they are among the most crass, foul mouthed, and promiscuous people you’re likely to encounter second only to construction workers. They were fun people though…
Yup, I was a waitress for several of the worst months of my working life and the open drug use was the only way to get through being a waitress at Dennys. Allegedly.
In 1987 Budd Dwyer a Republican politician in the state of Pennsylvania held a press conference where he committed suicide on live television by pulling a revolver from a manila envelope put the barrel in his mouth pointed it towards the top of his head and pulled the trigger. He was about to be sentenced to 55 years in prison for corruption charges after which his family would receive no money from the state but if he was dead before his sentencing then his family could collect benefits. Since then the laws have been changed to make it till killing yourself before you’re sentenced won’t make it to where your family can still receive benefits.
For a moment there I thought you were going to say he survived. The bullet went through the center of his head,missing his brain by 4 feet. ( if his torso was 4 ft long, thinking with his "little head" ). Trying for humor while showing my contempt for bent politicans.
Simon's work neighbors: Hears the nice couple of Danny and there son Peter frequently. Assume they have a nice relationship. Simon: DANNY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Simon: AM I RIGHT PETER?! The work neighbors: We should phone the police, that Simon seems to be abusing his partner and child.
Also in 1987, a corrupt politician committed suicide on live TV, Bud Dwyer. His suicide would inspire Filter to come out with their first hit song, Hey Man Nice Shot.
Love the white blazer Simon, looking good! I love how you took our constructive criticism on the new format and have turned it back into the Brain Blaze of old, for the most part that is. I completely understand the need for you to sit down. Your energy is back up, the scripts are back to being Blaze worthy, and Sam is on top of his game. The Blaze Trifecta is back!!! Chef's kiss to all three of you! Maybe let Danny and Sam out of the basement for a litt sunshine as a reward...,
Just be glad Danny didn’t also include the R. Budd Dwyer. The poor guy 😩 Maybe get Danny to research on “best methods of torturing a writer in ur basement”

No food or water for Sam in The Blazement for a week 😳

Afterwards, somewhat upset, he starts to steal the microphones still standing on the only mildly damaged table and walks out of the studio.
If you're gonna make a pseudo-znarchist statement, have either an exit plan or a cool method of suicide prepared.
Not this amateur tomfuckery.
Bud Dwyer also committed suicide on live TV during a press conference about a scandal he was involved in. Very sad and disturbing stuff.
Yeah I saw that. Disturbing.
Hey man nice shot
I remember bud dwyers suicide I'm pretty sure I saw it on RUclips too. Though this was back in the early 2000s of really early RUclips. When I first saw it I couldn't believe it was real just to find out later it was.
@@gavinmoody5678 Yeah that's how it was for me too. It was hard to believe it was real but it definitely was.
Imagine if Simon did live TV
None of this would be allowed on TV. #cancelsimon
A lad in my class won the Blue Peter prize for building Tracy Island from Thunderbirds. Simon and I would have been in the same year group at school in the UK and I reckon everyone in their mid-30s who had a TV recieving the BBC out of all our 4-5 available channels would have watched that segment. Kudos to Toby...he did a pretty awesome job on that.
💓 it when Danny actually shocks Simon(-:
All praise The Holy Trinity of Blaze! 🙏🏻
Lmfao that was great Danny! DANNY! NO WHY!
"i'd be really upset if my hair caught on fire" 1) i see what you did there simon 2)LLLLLLOOOOOOLLLLLLL
Simon, I loving the "tangent cam". Nice touch. (Still miss the script slaps though. 😟)
I audibly laughed at Sam's edit for the RAF motorcyclists. My co-workers are now very suspicious of me. Thanks Blaze team. Rock on.
omg Simon, the tangents....lol
OMG. When the nice BBC lady blew up and fell over burning I laughed/hooted out loud enough to startle my cats. Something about the way you prefaced the bit, Simon made me not like her and oddly satisfied by the clip. This may make me a bad person. However, after faithfully watching almost every blaze on the channel this was my absolute favorite moment so far.
I vote we take away this kid's small animals.
12:41 Would totally agree with you on this one. There are so many substances around the kitchen that are white and powdery that it's kind of inevitable that this kind of tomfoolery would take place.
Though, according to Anthony Bordain, in the ‘80’s in was the norm for chefs to be doing Coke.
Maybe it's me, but there's something genuinely funny about Simon's tailspin into despair as the last story develops into pure tragedy.
Let Danny out of the basement and he probably won't be so dark all the time. It is funny to watch Simon get worked up. 🤣
Toddler: *falls over so gently they don't even cry*
Wingsuit Person: *crashes head-first into mountainside at full speed*
English people responding to both: You all right, luv?
The reason you hear about "paid leave" after someone does a bad is because there frequently is language in collective bargaining agreements that specify a union member is entitled to progressive discipline (as opposed to being fired on the spot for having a pink shirt or something). Under some circumstances, the contract specifies paid leave until the investigation is complete. Not great in a lot of cases, but IMHO it's a fair trade for protection from capricious termination. People complain about it, but remember, the employer has way more control over the employee than vice versa, and someone being out of work for six months unpaid while some bullshit allegation is investigated tends to ruin them financially. The same amount of money is way easier for an employer of any significance (like a municipal police department) to absorb. No sympathy; for years American employers have not only been able to control your ability to eat and pay rent, but also tell you what doctors you can see, when you can sleep, and can force you to work 24/7 with no repercussions. Then fire you for being 15 seconds late with no recourse.
big brain.
Whilst I agree with 90% of what you said, I think blowing an unwilling person up on TV is good reason to be fired.
@@ajstevens1652 I'm sure 100% of people agree with you, but due process is due process for a reason my friend.
Danny's revenge! Lol! THAT'S what you get for keeping him locked in the basement, waiting for stickers! Good one, Danny! 👍
7:37 ...when you realise her microphone has instantly become an Olympic torch.
13:27 - "No one does that much coke"... Erm... Maybe they had a special guest that day being Charlie Sheen? 🤔😉🤣 😎🇬🇧
I'm so glad Danny didn't include the reporter who was gunned down, along with her cameraman, by a disgruntled former co-worker while doing a live TV interview on the street. The interviewee was also shot, but survived.
I remember that, it was from where I grew up. My grandmother worked at the Woolworths next to the station, and I had met that reporter a few times when she stopped in. She was awesome.
@Elijah Armstrong not long ago. 2015.
That was a great ending. Thank you, Danny.
6:18-6:20
The use of Initial D music was masterful.
Edit: 19:22 That escalated quickly.
Gotta say, I’m really diggin’ the “tangent” cam. Adds a lot of energy and makes the videos a little more fun!
“People don’t do that much coke” 😂 okay Simon 😂
You’ve clearly led a very sheltered life 🤣
Using Simon as the baseline, other ppl don't that much coke. Allegedly
I love the second angle for the tangents, I don't know why it makes them funnier for me
Danny is the best. The pain he inflicts on Simon with his pizzazz is
I love the various shows Simon narrates, and generally find his tangents to be some mixture of amusing & informative. That being said, Simon says the name "Danny" a total of 18 times in this 23:46 video. 23 minutes is 1,380 seconds, + 46 seconds makes the video 1,426 seconds long. Divide that by 18, and that means Simon says "Danny", on average once every 79.2222222222 seconds. Just some useless information for those who don't care.
The cocaine section reminds me of a time I went to a concert and bought a funnel cake with only powdered sugar. While my friends were devouring the cake I was busy wiping my fingers on my nose. You know why. My friends found it amusing.
Not 5 minutes later a girl walks up asking us to share the good stuff and getting mad we were not willing to share. I think we had already thrown away the carcass of the funnel cake and the fluffy white sugar. Oh well.
She sounds like a keeper, lol.
In my youth my flatmates and I had a massive housewarming party and for a joke put a large mirror over the top of the bath and left a big pile of icing sugar and some cards and straws on it. It was all fun and games until noise-control and a bunch of police officers came to shut down the party...
I'm dying at the " wall of death". Lmfao
One gut punch after the other at the end there, Danny. Brilliantly eloquent.
Fun fact: the girl you mentioned who made the bungee jump before workers connected the bungee cord to her, actually died from a heart attack during the fall.... so she may have died even if she hadn't jumped before they connected the bungee cord to her harness/ankles.
*the video showing the suicide of Christine Chubbuck is vaulted at a law firm. And videos claiming to show the suicide are fake, because people are a-holes and do shit like that. Unrelated, as it wasn't on live TV, any video claiming to show the shooting of Brandon Lee while filming The Crow is also fake. Only one copy of that footage existed and was given to Lee's mother, who had the footage destroyed.
Can we bring Danny up from the basement for just one blaze?
"Sam show a video clip of it"
Sam: shows a completely different clip!
And this is why Danny is a fkcing legend!
Simon shouting at Danny --
We love every single moment of it. *Keep it up Danny !!*
That use of the second camera is great. Thanks Simon👍
I briefly worked in the restaurant business as a teenager. The employees were constantly doing drugs, not that there’s anything wrong with that! Also, in general, they are among the most crass, foul mouthed, and promiscuous people you’re likely to encounter second only to construction workers. They were fun people though…
I worked as a sous chef in the evenings, and swung a hammer from sun-up to dinner service. Worst of both worlds.
Yup, I was a waitress for several of the worst months of my working life and the open drug use was the only way to get through being a waitress at Dennys. Allegedly.
@@madalice5134 Allegedly!🤣
@@colbywood8113 Did the same gigs as well.
@@madalice5134 aLEGENDly...
Great ending Danny thumbs up!!!!
Deja Vu absolutely split my sides!!! Well done Sam!
Don't worry Simon, I'll always be back for more of Danny's writing ❤️
In 1987 Budd Dwyer a Republican politician in the state of Pennsylvania held a press conference where he committed suicide on live television by pulling a revolver from a manila envelope put the barrel in his mouth pointed it towards the top of his head and pulled the trigger.
He was about to be sentenced to 55 years in prison for corruption charges after which his family would receive no money from the state but if he was dead before his sentencing then his family could collect benefits. Since then the laws have been changed to make it till killing yourself before you’re sentenced won’t make it to where your family can still receive benefits.
For a moment there I thought you were going to say he survived. The bullet went through the center of his head,missing his brain by 4 feet.
( if his torso was 4 ft long, thinking with his "little head" ).
Trying for humor while showing my contempt for bent politicans.
Simon's work neighbors: Hears the nice couple of Danny and there son Peter frequently. Assume they have a nice relationship.
Simon: DANNY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Simon: AM I RIGHT PETER?!
The work neighbors: We should phone the police, that Simon seems to be abusing his partner and child.
Loving the little format tweaks you've made!
Love this new format. It's a lot easier to follow what's going on when Simon has his own tangent cam.
Sam was pure fire in this video, I lost it several times until I woke everyone in the next room.
LEGEND... _not_ allegedly.
Why is there so few BB videos these days??
Are Danny and Sam on a work to rule about their conditions in the basement?
Also in 1987, a corrupt politician committed suicide on live TV, Bud Dwyer. His suicide would inspire Filter to come out with their first hit song, Hey Man Nice Shot.
Ah, fact boy, reminding us once again we'll all die.... Eventually.
Simon: Danny ya gotta shorten the scripts!
Danny: OK.
Simon: Sam, show the clip.
Sam: OK
It's the same picture.
I know exactly what Factboy is talking about with the motorcycles and I love that Sam did the opposite of what he was asked
Danny! Danny!!! WHY DANNNYYY!!!!! I really like how Danny is just this off camera menace ruining Simon's life 😂🤣
You should have included Bud Dwyer, or maybe do an episode on him.
(IIRC the song "Hey Man, Nice Shot" is based on him)
👍👍 He should do an episode on Dwyer, And YES, the song IS based on that event.
Love the white blazer Simon, looking good! I love how you took our constructive criticism on the new format and have turned it back into the Brain Blaze of old, for the most part that is. I completely understand the need for you to sit down. Your energy is back up, the scripts are back to being Blaze worthy, and Sam is on top of his game. The Blaze Trifecta is back!!! Chef's kiss to all three of you! Maybe let Danny and Sam out of the basement for a litt sunshine as a reward...,
Loving the side camera use
Simon: No one does that much coke, it’s a pile of coke!
Tony Montana: Hold my €500 note.
Simon has a suspiciously detailed knowledge of cocaine.
Allegedly
@@BurgSprinta Ah yes, of course. Allegedly!
I'm sorry but Anthea Turned getting exploded was fucking hilarious.
Love the tangent specific camera angle, can we call it the tancam?
Why, Danny.
But thank you for keeping the memory of Christine Chubbuck alive.
I think I saw a movie about this…. It was oddly captivating… slow decent into madness … it can happen to anyone!
Just be glad Danny didn’t also include the R. Budd Dwyer. The poor guy 😩
Maybe get Danny to research on “best methods of torturing a writer in ur basement”
I actually saw that on Channel 11 in Pittsburgh (WPXI). That event and the "Challenger" explosion are two things I saw "live" on TV that I cannot "unsee". And they were almost EXACTLY one year apart! 😳😢
@@jamesslick4790 wow…I feel so bad for the other ppl in the room that day too. The desperation in his voice while keeping everyone away is heart wrenching 😢
@@simquicky3448 Yeah, You KNEW something REAL BAD was about to "go down" SECONDS in to it. It was really fucked up and very sad. He was actually a very decent man. (I know I'm biased, being only one of three Republicans in Pittsburgh.) 😔
That was the best Danny rage ever. Danny don't ever stop traumatizing Simon🤣
Simon, I think you may need to check on Danny and make sure he's doing ok.
Danny will not be getting fish heads for quite some time. He has angered Master Whistler.
Oh my God... I hope Danny is doing okay in the basement. Maybe Simon should talk to Danny more, like his romantic story or something...
Those thick tv sets are called CRT (CATHODE RAY TUBE). They were that thick due to the tube transistor needed.
Sam, thank you for 6:13, I laughed my ass off
ive been a line cook before and almost every new person makes a joke just like this danny. 🤣 13:33
That Wall of Death looked insane! Some guy was just casually approaching. 🙀
