Got my first Vessi's this year and holy crap they're the best shoes I've owneed.
FYI, Vegan means no animal products, so the fluffy lining of your boots is NOT wool.
Shame they don't ship to UK
In the 80's and 90's we called it "pleather"@@cancermcaids7688
They won't do free shipping to AUS :(
I like how your Austin Powers impression is just your normal voice. :)
😅 I was cooking food and missed that
Groovy right?1?
🤣🤣🤣
Yay! I'm not the only one that noticed!
Wait, so to British folks Shaggy in Scooby-Doo is just 'F###-y'
A green alien wearing a lobster suit is the most east coast Canadian thing I can think of
While I served in the army, I was living in Colorado. On the way home after a night on the town, my pregnant sober wife noticed bright orange lights hovering over the base, and was freaking out. Myself, being drunk, and riding passenger, decided to joke and say "oh they're going to call me in any second to set up coms and get this ufo under wraps again." My wife freaked out "UFO!!!????"
I laughed "No its a joint training exercise, their dropping flares to light a range from air planes." " but they are hovering!" They have parachutes. My 3 seconds joke, turned into 3 days of laughter at her paranoia. I guess I'm lying as I still laugh 13 years later
I remember seeing an old UFO "documentary" about this and finding it hilarious cuz they where trying to present it in the typical format but the town was insisting it was a weather balloon or military activity, the government and military calling it a UFO, the government pretty much handing out boxes of reports when asked about it, ect. Pretty much just everything being the opposite of how they were trying to present it.
Have you ever heard about the Varginha case from Brazil?
Well, politicians even created a monument for it... But the city's population HATES it. They hate everything to do with it.
I don't even know for sure why... But I can imagine a reason.
@@MCsCreations They hate it because they are ridiculed for this events, even to this day.
And because, unlike most UFO "events", the CITY FOLK HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NOISE!
It begun with some weather events (ball ligthnings) reported on a farm, after some international media coverage of "UFO sigthings" around the world. If I remember correctly there were some unexplained animal eviscerations on the region too, around the same period.
Plus (and worse) some Brazilian "UFO researchers" (aka alien crackpots) lived on the region around there. When they heard about the events in Varginha they flocked to the city, followed by the media.
Than, a atention-seeking girl created a tale about seeing an alien, made a description, and sold her BS story to the "researchers", as the press is never happy about paying for other peoples' lies...
Nobody took them serious, from day 1, except the comedic entertainment scene, while the crackpots made a very loud fuss about it.
It generated a month's worth of "documentaries" both to proove and to disproove the claims. And a crappy PC Game to boot (Incidente em Varginha). And a shitload of comedy sketches on TV, radio and even comic strips making fun of the claims.
As a Brazilian kid, those comedies were my primary source of knowledge on the matter.
Meanwhile, the population was shocked by the ammount of UFO hunters that invaded the city.
And invaded is the rigth word, they were not turists, they were a horde, shufling around farms, breaking into peoples front yards, "interviewing" school teachers during classes... I believe at least once someone took a shot at one of them. For real.
BTW, many were from other countries, and make theyr interviews in English, with a non english-speaking "witness", and a very biased translator.
And the worst part is that, because of all the noise, now Varginha is a city whose name is reocuring on "HISTORY CHANNEL". That can make any normal person pissed off!

Teenage alien steals the family saucer and goes joyriding around Canada. Crashes it into a lake. Calls the alien version of AAA for help. Gets saucer repaired or towed. Goes back to the mothership to get screamed at by his parents for almost blowing the mission's cover. Is grounded for decades. Never even got to taste the local lobster. The End. ;)
😂
I love the way your brain works!😂
Sometimes I think the joyriding motif is not just a joke. They certainly have habit of showing off.
Thanks for doing the shag harbour case, i live not to far away and ive always liked this story
The Letter by The Box Tops was sung by a 16-year old Alex Chilton who went on to form the seminal power pop group Big Star, whose song “In the Street” was covered by Cheap Trick and used as the intro for That ‘70s Show
The Letter is a great song. It’s been covered by a lot of people…
Strawberry Alarmclock guitarist, Ed King, co-wrote 'Sweet Home Alabama', when he was a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Alex Chilton also has a great song by The Replacements named after, and written about him
@@slashnburn9234 I never travel far, without a little Big Star
@@thebeattrustee that's the one! Classic!
I'm a Tobacconist and I do a very nice line of Rough Shag.
Ooh Matron, etc.
Thank Goddess for Simon! I'm trapped in the hospital and bored to insanity.
Which Goddess are we thanking?
I didn't know the blazement was big enough to have a hospital
Get Well Soon... :)
I live in Nova Scotia and love this story. Thanks Simon.
I'm from the Maritimes as well. Enjoyed this.
Canada: Oh yeah no for sure we had that UFO o'er dare bud
I mean, Avro Canada _did_ build a flying saucer, the Avrocar, in the 50’s. It flew like crap and its funding _should_ have gone into putting the Arrow into production.
I'm guessing from the title Simon probably won't believe this one 😂
I'm guessing from the channel that's the point..
he's totally biased. blinkers are still on.
The day Simon actually believes 1 of these, we will know, his body has been taken over by the lizard ppl! 😉
@@dfuher968 Reptilians are real.
@@splizer101 If by biased you mean he believes in evidence and facts and doesn't take conspiracy theories at face value, blindly believing them.
Completely anecdotally, in our area they let off a heap of fireworks on a jetty/dock thing, and the water afterwards was a foamy scummy mess that smelled sulphuric, which sounded similar to the descriptions here, so I'm thinking it's just flares.
I was formally a U.S. Naval Aviator, and without watching this to the end, the story sounds as if the was an Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) exercise (practice), or even a real prosecution of an unidentified submarine. Open ocean parachute deployed flares used on ASW prosecution last for an extended period of time, and most people attempting to track or count time, are not accurate. Additionally, ASW helicopters tend to hover on station once they have identified a submerged target. Final thought: a significant majority of people when confronted with a strange activity that they have never seen before tend to greatly misinterpret, or mis-remember events.
I was thinking the same thing. The part about the smell and foam did it for me. No mistaking the smell of burnt flares or the residue they leave on the surface of the ocean.
@@Off-HandedBarrel - I think the foam was actually from a die marker dropped at the datum point of the search. Most likely it was the yellow die marker that is visible at night, and the local tide washed it ashore.
Would they conduct such an operation so close to shore? If memory serves, the water off Shag Harbor is pretty shallow, like 100 feet or so. Is that enough for a real sub to work in? And if this was just practice, why do it so close to a town? There must have been many more suitable places nearby to do a ASW drill.
@@a.ham.9856 - the draft of most submarines is 30-feet.
@@JDFloyd I know it's *possible* that a sub could operate that close to Shag Harbor, my question is 'why would they?' Seems kinda dangerous if it was one of ours, and unnecessarily close to civilians (which I assume they'd want to avoid). If it was Soviet, it seems crazy they'd be this close in, again, near civilians. There's a lot of empty shoreline in NS - why there? Why would us or the Sovs *choose* that spot?
The Dutch word for rolling tobacco is shag. Guess how embarrassed I was the first time I tried to buy some in England! 😂
This type of tobacco was also known as shag there too. Particularly on pipe tobacco tins. Condor and Escudo brands. For example.
I was disappointed that I didn't get a Casual Criminalist in my feed today, but I'll def take a Decoding The Unknown!!!
Both "The Letter" and "Incense and Peppermints" are groovy songs!
I think the reason that people spoke weird in early radio, TV and movies was that microphone quality of the time meant that a person speaking normally would be hard to hear.
Interesting. You take a known fact about something, completely ignore it and say 'I think' as though that disproves the evidence and reason already understood.
The "U" in UFO stands for unidentified? Thanks Simon. Never would have figured that out without you.
As a Canadian, Simon' understanding of the RCMP had me cackling because he genuinely thought they all had horses, which technically, at one point, they did!
Well, space isn't empty, but it's a lot more empty and a planet. Solar systems tend to become disks, so you can go above or below the disks, and don't have to worry about crashing into much. Then you've got a pilot that's gotten through all that, and think he's an expert.
The Musical Ride is glorious!
My great-grandfather’s nickname was Shag, coz he hated shaving & was always sporting a 5 o’clock shadow. After he died, I named a dog (a particularly shaggy one) after him. ✌🏼
Simon, every Canadian police has a horse, and a license for maple syrup.
Strawberry Alarm Clock….great band and a great song “Incense&peppermint”
I love when witnesses for this stuff estimate distance and size as if it hasn’t been proven many times that we are absolutely shit at judging that information
ESPECIALLY in the sky without visual references close by!
Up here in Seattle, there is a series of senior living communities called "Shag". Wonder if people ever feel mislead after moving in.
I doubt it, senior living facilities are rife with...adult entertainment, among the residents. Trust me 😅
Like miners visiting the Golden shower for gold nuggets 😂
Awesome! I'm from Nova Scotia. Heard of this first when i was about 10.
Canada is definitely real, but America is fictional
Grew up hearing this story
Hey! Incense and Peppermints is a cool song! 😊
You should take a look at the Pentyrch incident - a military and UFO event in Wales in 2016. It's deeply weird.
With his bias on the topic, I doubt you’d get out of it what you want. I know I probably wouldn’t.
@@JedPB67 is it Simon or the writers? They come off mad black budget these days, misinformation agents for sure but is it Simon or the writers?
It's insane how little research they actually do anymore, it's insane how every single time he only paints one picture yet you can read declassified government accounts that confirm most of the incidents he's covered, Simon is the equivalent of a flat earther at this point and as an audience we need to start calling him out, too bad 90% of his audience eat the slop he puts out like a pig in the sun
I'm from Nova Scotia.. good work fact boy 😂 love the channel
Just a note on the "can't you just call air traffic control" part. If a plane is flying in clear conditions it can fly under what are called VFR, or visual flight restrictions. When flying under VFR as long as they avoid controlled airspaces like the area directly around airports they don't need to talk to Air Traffic Control at all. A lot of small airports are uncontrolled meaning they don't have a tower at all and the pilots operating there basically just broadcast their intent to taxi or take off in case other pilots are around.
So it'd be entirely possible for a plane to crash and no one even know it's missing for quite a while (until the family and friends noticed the pilot and plane was missing and reported it).
Yes, I *do* watch this channel to listen to Simon slap down ridiculous events.
Oooo. A photo of coloured blobs. Super meaningful.
"How does vegan work" is my new favorite simonism
Sounds like an idea for a show. Most vegan food usually has some animal suffering along the way even if it isn't in the actual food. My sister tried, its basically pointless.
To be fair, he was talking about Vessi's made out of sheep wool when they were claiming vegan friendly...not like he fundamentally didn't understand what veganism as a concept is
Someone tell him it's pretty simple: it doesn't.
😂Love all of y'all's channels! They're highly entertaining and the scripts+Fact Boy's voice keep me hooked!
As a Nova Scotian who's been to shag harbour the people there are completely convinced that it was an alian space craft but as someone who lives on the eastern seaboard we're slightly all crazy
Always enjoy listening to your videos
I’ve loved both the songs The Letter and Incense & Peppermints since we found them on our parents old record albums
😊🍃💨 So groovy!
The lobster statues are all over the place here. Nice pronunciations, you nailed them all. Nice story, thanks for talking about the community!
I'm from Nova Scotia. We drove out there this past summer and sat by the ocean at night. No aliens to report but the ocean at night, as usual was nice.
Nice one, Katy
Incense and Peppermints is AWESOME!!! It’s like psychedelic rock, there’s a fuzz pedal(guitar effect) that’s made to emulate the sound, I have one😄❤️
Strawberry Alarmclock guitarist, Ed King, co-wrote 'Sweet Home Alabama'. When he was a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
'The Letter's is an awesome song too.
Here we go!
The Shag is our state dance here in South Carolina 😂
Omgz!! Am trying to catch up with all your videos across all your channells 😂👏
Omg what does the Z stand for?
Good luck! That endeavor is going to take a while!
Huh. I'm a Nova Scotian, and I've never heard of this before 😅
After every episode, I feel like after a Scooby Doo episode. You hope to see a ghost, but Simon takes it's mask off :))
Thank you for an entertaining half hour.
oh boy my home town i was waiting for this
America isn't real 😂
the lobsters were a part of a community art project, my cousin made one of them (not the alien one)
Canadian citizens: “HELP! Police! There’s been a plane crash in the harbor!” RCMP: “Nahh, it’ll be fine!”
A+ video!
Awesome writing, great analysis, great images!
In the words of Austin Powers "Groovy baby"
Shag Harbor is one of those interesting sightings that seem probable, but we really don't know what happened. Let's see what DTU has dug up!
You always have to piss on our UFO chips, don't you, Simon?! 😤
Love it Simon! And for your info, the horse-riding Mounties are usually ceremonial unless it’s for crowd control. Spot on!
I remember those songs👍🏼I miss the 60s ❤
😂 did not know shag was still used i thought it was out of style like jiveturky
Yay I was born and raised here in Nova Scotia (the Annapolis Valley).
Thanks for doing this one!
Off topic, but hard to resist:
Was very disappointed when they redesigned the Shag license plate for South Carolina. It used to be big and yellow and it said SHAG in huge letters with official state dance in very small ones…. The words are all small now, but it’s still something I look for whenever I am driving anywhere in the southeastern US….
Just remember that when it comes to Any government activity, "plausible denial" is the watchword of the day.
I live near Shag Harbour... thanks for sharing.
I think this was definitely flares, especially considering the weird, yellow, sulfur smelling foam. Flares emit sulfur dioxide and other sulfur compounds, and since they burn, generally, with their own oxidizer, it was likely the resulting gasses and organic byproducts of the combustion, acting as a surfactant and trapping the bubbles of smelly gasses.
Police says it was not it
@@DirtySanchez943 source?
When my son was in grade school studying geography, he’d fall off his chair laughing every time Bancgcock came up! 🤣
Young males used to run around asking what the capitol of Thailand is, screaming "bangcock!" And smacking others in the junk. What a time....
Makes me so happy to hear simon quote austin powers
There is a famous street in Edinburgh City centre with an infamous name, it's called "COCKBURN STREET", but the letter's "CK" are silent, as in COBURN STREET, but it's spelt "COCKBURN", I still find it funny, lol.
I had a friend with the surname “Badcock” which she eventually gave up trying to convince everyone it was pronounced “Badco”.
Nice, this event makes me crazy for years.
If we knew something was a vessel "from outer space" wouldn't that mean it was an identified flying object and not a UFO?
Imagine going to Shag nite expecting something, and it's just dancing like actual dancing. Oops, embarrassing. It's still funny no matter how many times you say it
O have been hoping youd cover this
The letter is an absolute banger of a song
Please do an episode on Bulgarian Mystic Baba Vanga who is popular with conspiracy theorists.
That sounds interesting.
Baba Yaga is popular across a pretty big swathe of fiction. It’d be a fun myth for him to tackle.
Dave! Hop to! Write, script boy! Write!
Although we've never met, Katy, I feel that I love you . Also thanks , Simon for presenting her work, so excellently.
Thanks. I feel that I love you too.
The flare angle makes the most sense to me, but so does the spy satellite film canister part.
When I met Simon in Prague last year, he did in fact have his Vessi's on.
Reducing the play back speed to 75%......means your voice is just the right amount of busy - and calm - so i can fall asleep and stay asleep - well played beardy - well played :D
I have been to the Shag Harbour Interpretation Center!
The amount of UFOs that travel light-years through the universe to reach us, just to then crash on our planet is incredible. Their space and time traversing technology must be quite fragile.
Yellow sea foam is literally just something that happens, I live in the English channel and we get it almost daily, the rougher the water the more you tend to get, a quick google search says its mostly organic sea matter that is in the water and churned up
But it doesn’t smell like sulphur.
The UFO or UAP churned up the water.
@@joshfrench5858But flares do
@@QBCPerdition I was talking about sea foam.
@@joshfrench5858easily blamed on hydrogen sulfide pockets disturbed by rough waters, out of sediment. The two don't have to be from the same cause.
of course all rcmp agent don't have horses... most have moose!
Just don't let them lick the cars.
I need another 12 hour compilation to fall asleep to
Do the falcon lake ufo next. Keep the Canadian stories coming!!!
Not watched yet, but I'd be amazed if Simon doesn't make a joke around "Shag Harbour" given that any Austin Powers fan can tell you what "shag" means in the UK!
ETA: Welp, 15 seconds in, me and Simon, on the same page! OG BB! Am I right, Peter?

Simon can u tellVessi to finaly open up their market to Europe?
I would really like to try them, but they don't ship to the EU 😂
Yeah, I check in about every 6 to 9 months, and that's been for well over a year because I also want to buy/try a pair.
Well i read first Shaq...i don't know whats worse😂😂
Oh god... As a Nova Scotian, seeing this pop up on my feed elicited an audible groan that caused my co-workers to think I'd hurt myself.
I laughed like a school boy watching this!
Incense and Peppermints was actually a good song, as long as you don’t insist on lyrics that make sense. Catchy, upbeat tune, and what more can you ask of a pop hit?
A good guitar "hook". Strangely enough, Ed King, Strawberry Alarmclock guitarist, co-wrote and played the guitar intro, (the "hook"), and solos, in 'Sweet Home Alabama', when he was a member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Yay! A Canadian story!
Ugh. As a Canadian I am soooooo sick of people claiming this was aliens. It's common knowledge among my people that it was nothing more than Sasquatch and maple syrup. Do your homework people.
Old time radio announcers spoke that way because microphones didn't pick up certain sounds very well. They developed that manner of speech to be better understood.
got my first 3 pairs of Vessi's , Love them. It's been raining here in California, and they really are waterproof. Have to use a shoehorn to get em on but it's worth it. Ronnie.
Dive on in!
4:00 Both of those songs referenced are actually all-time classics:
"The Letter" by The Box Tops starts out like, "Give me a ticket for an aeroplane, ain't got time to take a fast train..." I figure many will have heard of this song.
"Incense and Peppermints" is harder to describe. More of a psychedelic song, British invasion era, I believe. Also a great song.
Great!!!
With all the cctv cameras, smart phones etc we still have bugger all pictures of ufos. Live long and prosper 🖖
Aliens Loved the Shag Harbour!!!
Just watched this back to back with the Westall UFO episode... Gees what ads and suggestions is the algorithm going to hit me with?! Probably something to do Shags 😂
"Shag Harbor" : I just can't get over that name. 😆😆😆
Every time, Simon says “hey Siri” my bloody Siri answers the question
