If I were ever going to build a website, I would use Squarespace. Because they've stuck with you even when others have gone to smellier pastures. Incidentally, does it help just by clicking even if I don't buy anything?!

I work with kids who have autism. One five year old kiddo loves Shark Tank. It's his main reinforcer. He'll happily work for his Shark Tank tokens to fill his Shark Tank token board for a break to watch it. He gets super into it. It's wonderful that different kiddos like such a diverse range of things.
@@chaoticneutral6288 thank you very much for the kind words. They really mean a great deal to me. I try my best. Each kiddo has unique skills; we just have to sometimes find them. My job is to try to help each kiddo be as independent as possible. My job is easy compared to all the hard work the kiddos put in.
The worst part of those balance band demonstrations is that they *aren't* just the placebo effect. The demonstrators actually push on your arm differently before and after you put on the band. When they want you to fall over, they push down and pull slightly outward. When they want you to stay balanced, they just push down. And there are other similar tricks for the other parts of the demonstrations.
Story went like this: "Dear Mr. Blaze, My name is David and am trying to start a RUclips channel and would appreciate your advice and input." Simon: Sure, I'd love to help. Let's discuss it at my basement studio.
Seeing as there seems to be quite a lot of interest and the number of subscribers on my channel is rising at an incredible rate, before I sit down to blazing tomorrow morning, I will do my best to answer all of your questions.
Or that the reason Daves cooking channel didnt take off is because the advice Simon gave him was "yes! Always use water to put out a chip pan fire!" & this is why Dave is blind

Dragons Den is the name of the franchise and originated in Japan (Where it's called tigers of money). The UK version was the first international version and all other versions are based on the UK format. The name of the show is usually Dragons Den or Shark Tank (or some variation there of) and which one it is seems based on what they think will appeal to the local market best.
Mechanical letter folders have existed for many decades. We had one in our office that lost all value in 2008, the last year we did a mass mail. You put a stack of letters - 100 was the limit, I believe - and a stack of trifolded letters appeared on the other side in about a minute.
Fun fact about those negative ion watches, eye masks, blankets, and a ton of other negative ion stuff: They are sometimes literally nothing, but often times they do in fact use something which passively produces ions - high levels of radiation that are hundreds or even thousand of times over the legal limit in retail products in pretty much every country. They have a not insignificant effect in increasing you likelihood for cancer, especially with things like the eye masks which you are encouraged to keep on your face every night.
Well, that's horrifying. And of course, like the liars and thieves they are, it will come from some no-name seller who will have closed up shop and disappeared on to their next scam by the time you realize what's happened. I stopped buying from Amazon for this reason when I had the misfortune of buying a product that had stolen its reviews or they had been written by A.I. It's too hard to sus out the legitimate reviews from the fakes, so I've decided ti just not take the chances anymore. I've instead discovered new websites I otherwise wouldn't have if I'd kept to shopping with Amazon, so that's been nice.
"The Thought Emporium" did two videos where he dismantled some and measured the radioactivity of them, and reported them. Search: "negative ion products are actually radioactive" to find them.
A little Add-On to the negative ion trinkets: Some of these actually emit certain negatively charged particles called electrons, more specifically known as beta rays. That's right. Some of these trinkets, that are supposed to protect you from radiation, are actually radioactive.

21:58 There are different gradations of blindness. I’m legally blind (RP) but 3° field of vision is still enough to hate those GODDAM FLOOR STANDING LAMPS!!
The fold ease is a rubber thimble that used to be used in banks to count notes, so you didn't lick your fingers to turn the dirty money. They also had little sponges in glass containers for the same purpose (cash money is actually really dirty)
I have the glass container from one of those, from the post office in the 1970’s when my late father worked there. It was for touching stamps on instead of endlessly licking them. It had a circle of sponge in it originally.
I WILL admit that having the rubber thimbles would be extremely helpful to this day in some jobs but the added plastic nubs that guy added make no sense. And the concern isn't friction burns or paper cuts (which do happen but not often and aren't a big deal) but ripping the papers/having something get stuck and not get counted/get handed to the wrong person.
Squirrel Boss $90. Cayenne pepper $3. Only mammals are affected by capsaicin. You'll get some watery eyed squirrels that learn to stay away and birds that don't know the difference.
My first thought when I saw the glove was ..'oh my god! Its a sex toy!' And I spat out my sip of tea. There is no way I could wear that and not crash. The uncontrollable laughter would definitely be a safty risk! 😂
I always made it clear that I didn’t belief in god, and asked if they wanted a cup of coffee. And then had a nice talk about the garden, the weather and the cats. Now I live in an apparent building, and they don’t come there.
18:00 I did actually have to fold like 200 pieces of paper over a few hours when I was working at a hospital. It took a while, but the time consuming part was getting the trifold right and getting them into the correctly labeled envelopes -- not the actual folding part. Some kind of automatic trifold machine would have been better
I had to do this with invoices when working sales at a trophy warehouse. I was taught to tuck the paper under the lip of the envelope, fold up for the first fold so it will fit in the envelope, then take it out and fold the paper in to meet the fold. Place into the envelope, place the address label I just had to type on the typewriter, stamp with the franking stamp. Pull the strip over the adhesive. Sticky and bag. Still fold the paper this way 10 years later 😂
The Canadian version of Dragon's Den used to have what I called "the montage of crap", where they'd quickly breeze through three or four of the dumber pitches that were out-and-out rejected. One that I still remember to this day was this guy who invented reusable pizza boxes, basically a large plastic disc that kinda looked like two giant frizbees stuck together. While the guy's heart was in the right place, wanting to cut down on the waste from the cardboard boxes, he didn't take into account how wildly impractical they'd be.
It started with the Japanese tigers of money, then the uk dragons den which spread all over. The year after canadian dragons den started and two of those dragons are now sharks. It gets complex.
I feel you on the checking the bag. I took a bag as my carry on for a flight and my friend had used it for camping before. TSA kept the bag and kept asking if I forgot something. I denied I did, then they pulled out the knife. I got to fly but friend lost a slightly pricey pocket knife😅
I saw a video on that negative ion technology stuff. Turns out, they do release negative ion, by being highly radioactive. They are imbued with Thorium powder and while it's only something in the order of 200uSv/h, because they are to be worn 24/7/365, the levels of radiation become quite problematic. To the point the US radiation agency (I can't remember their name as I am not American) and the IAEA, have forced the companies out of business and banned the sale of these products, at least within the US.
there has been more than one, United States Atomic Energy Commission ended in 1975. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) was the successor agency in 1975 plus the Office of Nuclear Energy, Science & Technology within ERDA by the same law that year. then in 1977 ERDA became the United States Department of Energy (DOE). the mandate for the DOE is actually WIDER than the AEC or ERDA because ALL energy infrastructures in the USA are under their oversight. this even includes kerosine, diesel, gasoline, and heating oil production facilities. this was to increase control and regulation of those industries and prevent another 1973-74 OAPEC Oil Crisis from negatively impacting American citizens. In 2000, the National Nuclear Security Administration was created as a subcomponent of DOE, responsible for nuclear weapons movement, storage, disposal, and security procedures by the various Department of Defense Branches. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) underneath Homeland Security would hopefully detect the items in question and seize them. if it isn't under the oversight of the Federal Trade Commission since they would have to be imported, or the Federal Communications Commission if they had electronic components like that guy's watches... those 'radioactive' products would definitely be confiscated by the DOE and destroyed.
7:16 I LOVE Dave’s cooking videos! I don’t personally need Visually Impaired cooking tips yet (although with my genetics that might become useful in the future!) but I really enjoyed the cooking content and life hacks tbh! I have lots of other disabilities and would love to have someone with similar conditions teach me how to hack my life! But when I tried to share local places and their sensory, accessibility and general appeal people just weren’t that interested. I think the key is to link with charities. They have the groups of people who are applicable and they have advertising budgets and such! If you ever start cooking online again, please let us know Dave, I was enjoying the fairly simple, tasty ideas tbh!
I remember the traffic signs one, it was an awful idea. I used to think those bewilderingly bad ideas were fake and people really couldn't be that stupid - at least we have social media now to disavow me of that notion!
the paper folding thing already existed they are called thimblettes or rubber fingertips. I remember my Mom using them as far back as the 80s. It is a rubber thimble with bumps on it that’s specifically made for use with stacks of paper.
I think simon melded two different dragons den pitches. 1. The two guys with the magic water machine. Who one of the guys didnt wanna tell them what his financials were because it was in fact his partner that put up all the capital. And 2. The guy that pitch a credit card MLM that already got a loan on his house and had already sunk like 10k into and was recruited by his ex wife. Both classics!
A friend of mine had a relative on shark tank, and they wanted her on there definitely just to make fun of her, she has said that they asked her to wear a jackass and come back out onto the stage. She said once she refused they were no longer interested and made it clear they were done with her. My guess has always been they had already decided they were not going to invest and thought it would be good TV to have her be a little over the top.
That "paper folding" guy didn't invent those things! They've existed for decades. No way he could get a product patent for the idea, only a design patent for making them thicker & colored. (Was he trying to make them cute?) I'm over 50 & as a kid I saw teachers, librarians & assorted office workers use them. Little rubber things, in a non-distracting semi-sheer color that you would just call white or nude, that come in 2 sizes to stretch over your forefinger tip or your thumb tip. Depending on what you need you get the set or just the forefinger one. It simply uses a tiny bit of friction to grab a single sheet from the top of a stack, preventing the germiness of the "lick your finger" trick & letting you get pages sorted much faster. It helped prevent paper cuts too, but that wasn't the intended function.
@@russell2952 That sounds weird! Not sure what function little rollers would help with, but I didn't see that show. I guess I'd have to see the part where he explains it. Whatever it was though, he still wasn't gonna get rich selling a modified version of something cheap that already exists in office supply catalogs & only a very small % of careers need. 😄 Sometimes people can come up with a truly innovative idea to modify something that a lot of people need/want. That will make money over time if marketed & produced correctly. But you have to do research & honestly think about how many people would really find it worth their money to buy your product once they know it exists. Even the best marketing can't sell a ton of a product that most people don't need.
14:15 your car has a camera in the dash that watches your eyes… if it detects you are looking away from the road too much it’ll pop up that “are you paying attention?” message.
Omfg I need the throwing hedgehog! Seriously, why were my grade school SPECIAL ED PE teachers so obsessed with making us blind people try to throw things at a specific target. I was lucky if the thing I was throwing even got within 5 inches of said target. So demoralizing!
Blind people actually love driving as a prank. Obviously not on populated roads, but Tommy Edison here on YT learned how to drive in a parking lot, and there's the famous story of Stevie Wonder parking someone's car, spreading the rumor that he has to be sighted!
Fun fact usually if you're visited by jahovas witnesses it's because someone you know is one, or you're on a list of potential converts for a myriad of reasons. Not a ton of them illegitimately visit every house along a route anymore, instead targeting specific people.
Normally i dont do this, but no, that's not remotely correct. Each congregation is given territory, and that territory is split up and put in rotations. JW's don't "target specific people". Now if someone is especially hostile they get put on a "do not do" list where they are avoided (that specific address anyway). You can also just ask to be put on that list.
I think we should fight the injustice of disallowing certain "problematic peoples" from public roads. This is an outrage and we should all be deeply ashamed of ourselves. #LetDaveDrive
I don't agree with zapping squirrels, but you don't have to keep watching the free food. If you happen to spot a squirrel nibbling away you have a zapping option, and I'm sure they will get the message after a few zaps. I don't like the idea, but it does make sense for those who only want to feed pidgys and not squirtles.
For someone who hates communism, Simon does seem to have done a bit of an "Uncle Joe" Stalin on Danny! ;) Hope things are going well Mr Salter, you gave me many laughs. ETA: Just want to say Dave and Kevin, enjoy your scripts immensely. Another good one today Dave!
The fold-ease is old....think of the rubber finger tips bank tellers use to rapidly and accurately count out bank notes. Same concept, just made more for counting quick and correctly rather than "folding lots of paper".
Dehumidifiers water is the sweat, ball juices, lent,hair nasty water you can possibly imagine. Chilled at the perfect bacteria, mold growth temperature for maximum grossness
10:00 that's Newton's first law of motion. You may have heard the term "law of conservation of momentum" which is in reference to Newton's laws of motion. You're welcome Simon 👍
Okay, but I've seen a bird feeder that has a pressure system that pulls the outside of the feeder down - closing the door so the squirrel can't get at the seeds. Why not combine that with the squirrel boss? When the outside slides down have it make contact and close a circuit to automatically give a little zap to the squirrel.
Re the Esso Watch, I once encountered a guy at a horse show marketing the exact same scam under the name "Mojo Band". My SO worked on a horse yard where a few riders wore the things to "improve their balance". My SO pointed me at the guy and muttered something to the effect of "do your worst". I have a decent scientific education and am a good problem solver. I listened to his speech, then when he was done I repeated it back to him. A crowd starts to gather as he and I engage. Once I got him to agree that I understood his process, I then outlined why each and every point in his five step process was flawed and how the test he outlined was a combination of the placebo effect and improvement due to practice (if someone does a balance task twice, they will naturally be slightly better the second time around because they know what to expect, scam band or not). He's started by claiming to be the inventor of this widget, but finished by saying he didn't know exactly how it worked, but it did and I was a skeptic. It didn't swing with the crowd. My SO recounted the exchange to her friends at the horse yard. Within the week, three mojo band users fell off their horses.
At 10:00 , to the mention of needing extra energy for the turbine motion. I think all this lost tech that we have like falcrums and water bladders needs to come back. There's the device called the Jacob's slipgate. You put one cup of water up top let it filter down to the bottom fully. Then you apply a second cup of water and then watch the device work forever until evaporation takes effect. I could mention more lost technology but this one answers your question if anybody ever connects the two technologies. Don't forget guys we have silent Velcro as well as silencers for tanks I'm pretty sure we could figure this out again. Unless we pull a NASA and say oh we fully forgot how to do this even though that's our job.
I was about to say that my favourite Dragon’s Den was the drinkable water machine…and best of all, one of the guys used to sell Kirby cleaners….but then Simon tells the story

My first thought when I saw the glove was ..'oh my god! Its a sex toy!' And I spat out my sip of tea. There is no way I could wear that and not crash. The uncontrollable laughter would definitely be a safty risk! 😂
I had JWs come to my house, asked if I'd like to live forever and I replied no thanks life been pretty bad so far 😂😂😂
I always made it clear that I didn’t belief in god, and asked if they wanted a cup of coffee. And then had a nice talk about the garden, the weather and the cats. Now I live in an apparent building, and they don’t come there.
I got rid of them by saying I was Jewish (I'm not), worked a treat.
18:00 I did actually have to fold like 200 pieces of paper over a few hours when I was working at a hospital. It took a while, but the time consuming part was getting the trifold right and getting them into the correctly labeled envelopes -- not the actual folding part. Some kind of automatic trifold machine would have been better
I had to do this with invoices when working sales at a trophy warehouse. I was taught to tuck the paper under the lip of the envelope, fold up for the first fold so it will fit in the envelope, then take it out and fold the paper in to meet the fold. Place into the envelope, place the address label I just had to type on the typewriter, stamp with the franking stamp. Pull the strip over the adhesive. Sticky and bag.
Still fold the paper this way 10 years later 😂
Simon, that guy wasn't at the wrong house. He was checking to see if you were home before he robbed you.
The Canadian version of Dragon's Den used to have what I called "the montage of crap", where they'd quickly breeze through three or four of the dumber pitches that were out-and-out rejected. One that I still remember to this day was this guy who invented reusable pizza boxes, basically a large plastic disc that kinda looked like two giant frizbees stuck together. While the guy's heart was in the right place, wanting to cut down on the waste from the cardboard boxes, he didn't take into account how wildly impractical they'd be.
Would've been a good step in stoppin so much waste. But nobody wants to change what's worked.
It started with the Japanese tigers of money, then the uk dragons den which spread all over. The year after canadian dragons den started and two of those dragons are now sharks. It gets complex.
Simon: "I've never had drugs in THIS bag!"
I feel you on the checking the bag. I took a bag as my carry on for a flight and my friend had used it for camping before. TSA kept the bag and kept asking if I forgot something. I denied I did, then they pulled out the knife. I got to fly but friend lost a slightly pricey pocket knife😅
Here for the Dave story
Dave's scripts are always 👌
Living in the bible belt and an atheist, my husband was truly interested in the "Jesus be-gone" idea.
me too!!! :)
So Dave tell us about your channel! I call putting frozen pizza in the oven cooking so it's not for me but we're all curious
So i have managed to find the channel : it's called *BlindDave* and he has a copy of a Into The Shadows episode.
@@ignitionfrn2223 I'll check it out right away thanks

DAVE IS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND!
(Some things must be said in all caps!)
I saw a video on that negative ion technology stuff. Turns out, they do release negative ion, by being highly radioactive. They are imbued with Thorium powder and while it's only something in the order of 200uSv/h, because they are to be worn 24/7/365, the levels of radiation become quite problematic. To the point the US radiation agency (I can't remember their name as I am not American) and the IAEA, have forced the companies out of business and banned the sale of these products, at least within the US.
there has been more than one, United States Atomic Energy Commission ended in 1975. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) was the successor agency in 1975 plus the Office of Nuclear Energy, Science & Technology within ERDA by the same law that year. then in 1977 ERDA became the United States Department of Energy (DOE). the mandate for the DOE is actually WIDER than the AEC or ERDA because ALL energy infrastructures in the USA are under their oversight. this even includes kerosine, diesel, gasoline, and heating oil production facilities. this was to increase control and regulation of those industries and prevent another 1973-74 OAPEC Oil Crisis from negatively impacting American citizens. In 2000, the National Nuclear Security Administration was created as a subcomponent of DOE, responsible for nuclear weapons movement, storage, disposal, and security procedures by the various Department of Defense Branches.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) underneath Homeland Security would hopefully detect the items in question and seize them. if it isn't under the oversight of the Federal Trade Commission since they would have to be imported, or the Federal Communications Commission if they had electronic components like that guy's watches... those 'radioactive' products would definitely be confiscated by the DOE and destroyed.
7:16 I LOVE Dave’s cooking videos!
I don’t personally need Visually Impaired cooking tips yet (although with my genetics that might become useful in the future!) but I really enjoyed the cooking content and life hacks tbh!
I have lots of other disabilities and would love to have someone with similar conditions teach me how to hack my life!
But when I tried to share local places and their sensory, accessibility and general appeal people just weren’t that interested. I think the key is to link with charities. They have the groups of people who are applicable and they have advertising budgets and such!
If you ever start cooking online again, please let us know Dave, I was enjoying the fairly simple, tasty ideas tbh!
I tried to search it. Link? I'd like to see them

I would *LOVE* a separate video with Dave meeting Simon lore details. That could be a fun story, Dave permitting
Give us the Dave biographics we need
Someone needs to explain how one ends locked up in a basement in order to write scripts for bald Brit.
Im all for this but we need a Danny biographics 1st! & thats at least a 10 part series where eps 1-9 are the intro
Man, I love rolling a good j and watching brain blaze. Great way to chill after work.
I remember the traffic signs one, it was an awful idea. I used to think those bewilderingly bad ideas were fake and people really couldn't be that stupid - at least we have social media now to disavow me of that notion!
the paper folding thing already existed they are called thimblettes or rubber fingertips. I remember my Mom using them as far back as the 80s. It is a rubber thimble with bumps on it that’s specifically made for use with stacks of paper.
"Just like a woman! One of my all time OG Blaze favorites.
I think simon melded two different dragons den pitches.
1. The two guys with the magic water machine. Who one of the guys didnt wanna tell them what his financials were because it was in fact his partner that put up all the capital.
And 2. The guy that pitch a credit card MLM that already got a loan on his house and had already sunk like 10k into and was recruited by his ex wife. Both classics!
No, the dehumidifier masquerading as a drinking water machine was also a pyramid scheme.
just watched dave’s video they actually looked really good ! cheers mate
A friend of mine had a relative on shark tank, and they wanted her on there definitely just to make fun of her, she has said that they asked her to wear a jackass and come back out onto the stage. She said once she refused they were no longer interested and made it clear they were done with her. My guess has always been they had already decided they were not going to invest and thought it would be good TV to have her be a little over the top.
That "paper folding" guy didn't invent those things! They've existed for decades. No way he could get a product patent for the idea, only a design patent for making them thicker & colored. (Was he trying to make them cute?) I'm over 50 & as a kid I saw teachers, librarians & assorted office workers use them. Little rubber things, in a non-distracting semi-sheer color that you would just call white or nude, that come in 2 sizes to stretch over your forefinger tip or your thumb tip. Depending on what you need you get the set or just the forefinger one. It simply uses a tiny bit of friction to grab a single sheet from the top of a stack, preventing the germiness of the "lick your finger" trick & letting you get pages sorted much faster. It helped prevent paper cuts too, but that wasn't the intended function.
It looked like he put rollers on his.
@@russell2952 That sounds weird! Not sure what function little rollers would help with, but I didn't see that show. I guess I'd have to see the part where he explains it. Whatever it was though, he still wasn't gonna get rich selling a modified version of something cheap that already exists in office supply catalogs & only a very small % of careers need. 😄 Sometimes people can come up with a truly innovative idea to modify something that a lot of people need/want. That will make money over time if marketed & produced correctly. But you have to do research & honestly think about how many people would really find it worth their money to buy your product once they know it exists. Even the best marketing can't sell a ton of a product that most people don't need.
14:15 your car has a camera in the dash that watches your eyes… if it detects you are looking away from the road too much it’ll pop up that “are you paying attention?” message.
A lot of negative ion products contain thorium dioxide
Which slowly release gamma radiation over time
I can always count on Simon and Co. to keep me up to date on what NOT to do in the business world
Love The Blaze, but, I do miss seeing Simon rant and slap paper scripts. Methinks that parenthood has mellowed our Fact Boi.
Dave i'll pay £100000 for the Jesusbegone. I need that in my life!
"Did you not watch previous episodes?"
4 seconds later " have I taken a sip of this coke?"
Simon, you smooth brain
The Jesus Be Gone just soinds like a door loaded with explosives in such a way to launch the door in the specified direction... I LOVE IT!
Omfg I need the throwing hedgehog!
Seriously, why were my grade school SPECIAL ED PE teachers so obsessed with making us blind people try to throw things at a specific target. I was lucky if the thing I was throwing even got within 5 inches of said target. So demoralizing!
I think this is only ok if the hedgehogs are given guide dog style training but with more empasis on stunt skills etc
19:00 the negative ion items have been shown to be radioactive, lots of videos on them
Always very entertaining thanks
Blind people actually love driving as a prank.
Obviously not on populated roads, but Tommy Edison here on YT learned how to drive in a parking lot, and there's the famous story of Stevie Wonder parking someone's car, spreading the rumor that he has to be sighted!
Fun fact usually if you're visited by jahovas witnesses it's because someone you know is one, or you're on a list of potential converts for a myriad of reasons. Not a ton of them illegitimately visit every house along a route anymore, instead targeting specific people.
Normally i dont do this, but no, that's not remotely correct. Each congregation is given territory, and that territory is split up and put in rotations. JW's don't "target specific people". Now if someone is especially hostile they get put on a "do not do" list where they are avoided (that specific address anyway). You can also just ask to be put on that list.
I think we should fight the injustice of disallowing certain "problematic peoples" from public roads. This is an outrage and we should all be deeply ashamed of ourselves. #LetDaveDrive
I don't agree with zapping squirrels, but you don't have to keep watching the free food. If you happen to spot a squirrel nibbling away you have a zapping option, and I'm sure they will get the message after a few zaps. I don't like the idea, but it does make sense for those who only want to feed pidgys and not squirtles.
Feed the squirrels. What's wrong with that? Hell, I want something that zaps the birds and lets the squrrel eat in peace.
@@russell2952 The same thing? You choose when to zap.... 🤷🏻♂️
¿Por qué no los dos? Bird seed isn't THAT expensive, let everyone chow down.
Simon's beard is so manly I'm waiting for it to pull out a cue card and start adding its own commentary.
"Pretty sure I've never had drugs in this bag but I'm going to be searching for drugs In this bag" peak brain blaze 😂👏
Dragons' Den was first broadcast in 2006 but based on the format of the 2001 Japanese show, Tigers of Money.
It is so hard for Simon to NOT talk about something 😂 8:16
6:00
Since when did the basement have a window? Or a bell for that matter?
Simon, you're giving them too many luxuries!
16:58 I was not prepared for and laughed way too much at that belch.
Dude....i still cant believe simon cusses,burps and farts in blaze. If toure coming over from casual criminalist its hilarious.heheheh.
The "damp cupboard" is actually the entrance to the basement👀👀👀
For someone who hates communism, Simon does seem to have done a bit of an "Uncle Joe" Stalin on Danny! ;) Hope things are going well Mr Salter, you gave me many laughs.
ETA: Just want to say Dave and Kevin, enjoy your scripts immensely. Another good one today Dave!
A counterpart video, Please! With the best-of! Love & respect for everything you guys do!
8:34 to skip all the intro. Bloody hell Simon!
Using earth's spin wouldn't be a perpetual motion machine.But I also feel like the coriolis effect would be a horrible way of harnessing it.
The fold-ease is old....think of the rubber finger tips bank tellers use to rapidly and accurately count out bank notes. Same concept, just made more for counting quick and correctly rather than "folding lots of paper".
Dehumidifiers water is the sweat, ball juices, lent,hair nasty water you can possibly imagine. Chilled at the perfect bacteria, mold growth temperature for maximum grossness
10:00 that's Newton's first law of motion. You may have heard the term "law of conservation of momentum" which is in reference to Newton's laws of motion. You're welcome Simon 👍
The memes in this video are the best I've seen.
In American English the word "scheme" has a much more negative implication than it does in the UK
Okay, but I've seen a bird feeder that has a pressure system that pulls the outside of the feeder down - closing the door so the squirrel can't get at the seeds. Why not combine that with the squirrel boss? When the outside slides down have it make contact and close a circuit to automatically give a little zap to the squirrel.
Hey, Dave! About that door idea 👍👍🤭
I've just realized why our Whistle can't handle long intro's: it's because they are in competition with his tangential excursions!
Thanks to Simons belching I got coffee in my nose now...
Me: Goes to search bar and types "blind.." gets auto filled with "blind daves potato skins" LOL
In regards to the fold ease, if the job requires more folding than a human can do safely, there's literally machines for that.
Re the Esso Watch, I once encountered a guy at a horse show marketing the exact same scam under the name "Mojo Band". My SO worked on a horse yard where a few riders wore the things to "improve their balance". My SO pointed me at the guy and muttered something to the effect of "do your worst". I have a decent scientific education and am a good problem solver. I listened to his speech, then when he was done I repeated it back to him. A crowd starts to gather as he and I engage. Once I got him to agree that I understood his process, I then outlined why each and every point in his five step process was flawed and how the test he outlined was a combination of the placebo effect and improvement due to practice (if someone does a balance task twice, they will naturally be slightly better the second time around because they know what to expect, scam band or not). He's started by claiming to be the inventor of this widget, but finished by saying he didn't know exactly how it worked, but it did and I was a skeptic. It didn't swing with the crowd.
My SO recounted the exchange to her friends at the horse yard. Within the week, three mojo band users fell off their horses.
At 10:00 , to the mention of needing extra energy for the turbine motion. I think all this lost tech that we have like falcrums and water bladders needs to come back. There's the device called the Jacob's slipgate. You put one cup of water up top let it filter down to the bottom fully. Then you apply a second cup of water and then watch the device work forever until evaporation takes effect. I could mention more lost technology but this one answers your question if anybody ever connects the two technologies. Don't forget guys we have silent Velcro as well as silencers for tanks I'm pretty sure we could figure this out again. Unless we pull a NASA and say oh we fully forgot how to do this even though that's our job.
I was about to say that my favourite Dragon’s Den was the drinkable water machine…and best of all, one of the guys used to sell Kirby cleaners….but then Simon tells the story
