Bro, the long intros are like foreplay. You may think it's unimportant but for some of us, a long intro is like a nice aperitif before the meal of brilliant snark... A subreferential amuse-bouche, if you will. I've learned something in the plethora decades on this planet: If everything is good, don't hassle the talent, son.
*Worst 21st Century Job: Fact Boy Writer* The job requires you to live in a basement with 20+ other writers and editors. If the smell of too much beard oil doesn't drive you crazy, then being chained to the radiator will break your spirit. The scariest part is the Fact Boy will beat you if the intro is too long--even though 90% of the intro is the Fact Boy's tangents.
Congrats on 300k subs on Brain "Business" Blaze. As an OG BB member I can confidently say that you are a certified legend. Together with Danny, ETA and Sam
I dont know if this might exist where you live Simon, but where I live the animal shelter has what they call a barn cat program. When they have feral cats they've trapped and neutered but are unable to return to the place they were trapped people who have barns, or just homes in the country to warehouses and even sometimes stores will apply to receive one of these cats. The only requirements are that they have a shelter for bad weather and a backup food source as needed if they do their job and chase the mice and rats away. As these are feral cats they will not usually want to be near humans, they just need a safe place to hunt and live. If this option exists where you are it would be the perfect rodent control that you barely have to think about.
I was thinking similarly: "Simon, have you heard of a device called a cat? Very useful for rodent control, not to mention being an excellent source of companionship." But your feral cat suggestion is even better. After all, a cat used to humans does not thrive without their attention.
Snakes are also great, and since he doesnt live in Ireland there should be some just a few miles out of the city. Also that's a far better use of stray feral cats than starting a cult where all the members are are stray feral cats.
I worked in a call center for a few weeks. I was selling AOL DSL(that long ago) and got some guy on the other line that accused me of being the guy his wife ran off with in an AOL chat room. He literally threatened to eat my children. I probably would have been disturbed by that if I actually had kids
Your stomach sound tangents literally had me laughing out loud, at work where I listen to many of your fine channels as they are often entertaining even without the amazing images included in your videos.
Danny doesn't shorten the intro, because we enjoy hearing the stories. It's also the closest we'll get to a biographical of Danny. If you made that video, you could just release it on the brain blaze channel. Thanks Danny!
Abspestos is actually still used in industrial applications, like the brakes on battleships, where there's no reasonable substitution. It's fine if you follow proper protection methods when using it, and you don't toss it into walls as cheap fireproof insulation.
I'm late to the party, but I love that we got an episode that's a return to form! Danny intro, long episode, Simon tangents and super fine Sam memes! One of these a week, and you can do whatever experimental format stuff you want with the other episodes factboi!
I have an electric car & I love it. It really depends on how charging stations are around you & whether you can do things while your car charges. There’s a bunch of car charges at my local mall, which is really nice since I regularly attend Magic the Gathering events there
Global punishment is still a thing in the military most places even here in Norway. If a soldier fails to behave as expected, the entire platoon is punished. Sometimes the only one spared punishment is the one who was the perpetrator. The idea is as you say to have the person wracked by guilt. Or the platoon handing out its own punishment by having the perpetrator ostracised and shunned.
Speaking of rats, in my current DnD campaign my party killed a bunch of rats and one of the party members stuffed a literal ton into thier bag of holding. We mostly cooked them for food, but once we were in a sewer system and we found a statue that the rest of the party wanted to steal, but it was in the middle of the water and we didn't have a raft. Well the guy with all the rats decided to make a raft out of their corpses and he managed to roll a nat20 on his survival check that the DM threw at him. So we now have a dead rat raft.
Lol Danny's long openings, Simon's tangents about them, and Sam's memes describing their (not always so-)silent feuds, are the whole reason I love this channel so much! Back when I was a kid, too small to remember this myself, I was told a huge rat invaded the kitchen one morning. It was sitting on the counter and I was sitting there baby talking to it, calling it Mickey Mouse. My mom came in and nearly had a heart attack.. apparently i was in my walker, more or less than 2ft away from it, just jabbering away as it munched on my crackers, looking at me as if it were listening to everything I said with perfect understanding. ... I always have loved animals, so this rings true. lol
The great thing about working in a call centre is you truly get to experience how absolutely stupid people really are. I work in a power company call centre, and we hire extra staff during winter just to field calls from people who don't understand how they use more power when it's really cold and dark than they do when it's warm and sunny.
when I worked for America Online back in the late 1990s, I found out that "helping the customer" was the call center euphemism for "get the customer off of the phone as quickly as possible"
Classic BB!! Way better than the recent “shorts”. Please keep the big intros, the tangents, the burps, the slander, the mice stories. Best of all the Whistler channels! Legend!!
You are my hero Danny keep up the good work long introductions are part of the reason that I come here we lost Factboy's blazing I don't want to lose your 15 to 40-minute intros they make my day
Congrats on the 300k on Business Blaze, Simon, I do hope to hear many more super long intro's. I do love'em some good intro's, their always very entertaining stories.
I have so many funny stories about mice in my life. I think I will call a friend and start my own tangent. But, after this video. Can’t miss your videos!
Honestly for a few days I thought we lost the old BB style and thankfully this video proved me wrong! Danny's long into, Simon complaining about the intro then getting lost on what tangents wonder along and Sam with the fire edits/ memes! Legends!
President = Chief Executive, in corporations and countries. It's just that even companies that think "Chief Executive Officer" sounds better than "President" don't like the sound of "Vice Chief Executive Officer."
When I was small, we used to have kids books in church and I would read them when I was bored and Sunday school wasn’t on. I read a book about a girl who worked in the match factory and it was absolutely heartbreaking. It ended with her dying in the snow and “going to heaven”.
I remember this book! It was scarring because at the end where she's dying she hallucinates being at a nice Christmas dinner. Still have no idea why that was a book for children.
Same! Something about lighting 10 matches until they burn out and hallucinating about something different each time. Barely remember it, but it definitely helped me learn how to count to ten, and why we don't sleep outside at night when it snows. I think it was called The Little Match Girl or something.
I love the past was the worst videos.. they always make me laugh 🤣 I worked customer service after college.. I learned very early that if I spoke softly enough, the screaming customer would have to stop yelling at me long enough for me to actually find out where to send the call. It seems too simple, but it really works.. definitely saved my ears a lot of shrill screaming
MOUSE TRAPS ABSOLUTELY WORK simon. people use the wrong bait like cheese due to the mice like cheese meme. USE PEANUT BUTTER. it has a strong smell, doesn't go bad, and stink like moldy cheese can. it also is impossible for the mouse to pick up and run away like they can solid baits which they can remove carefully. instead they try to grab the sticky stuff, and set the trap off. remove mouse, and just reset if enough Is left
Agreed. My dad once put down glue traps. Fun fact: mice can get stuck in a way in which they can still run, with the trap attached. We have the fun grey ones in our basement now. I call them tongue traps, because I always thought our old dog might try to get the peanut butter (she never did). My brother likes them because they just pinch open, so easy resetting.
Though Danny's intro was only about 7 minutes it was still nice to have it. I missed the long intros with stories of Danny's life in them. Great with funny moments too.
Guys! Guys! I am still waiting like come on. For the Brain Blaze that is just 1h:40m of intro and Simon tangents that then just ends suddenly. It is a new plateau of comic genius, I have faith that the trinity you are will get there one day. P.S. To add insult to injury. The topic of the video has to be something that everyone desperately wants to know, but can never be found out (like the algorithm for lotto numbers for instance).
Asbestos mining in Canada ceased about 10 years ago, and asbestos has now been banned. Strangely though, they are now debating whether to extract magnesium from asbestos waste or not.
I'm glad we got a legit Danny intro even if it was shorter than some of the og intro, and I do miss the walking and crazy unhinged tangents, but it is good to still have the Blaze! Simon should consider doing a Patreon account. I would pay money for an old school style Blaze every week or two, and I bet I'm not alone!
The English comic actor Tony Robinson serves as nonpareil host to an early '00s show later uploaded here to RUclips, 'Worst Jobs in History'. It's on the Timeline channel, and comes fiercely recommended -- especially after this content.
I feel like that "the president is never late" line was pulled straight from Princess Diaries where Julie Andrews, as the Queen says "The Queen is never late; everyone else is simply early". I watched that movie a million times as a kid and that was one of my favourite lines.
On the note of inheriting the King's old clothes; I don't think wearing them is the prize. I think that the jewel encrusted part is the prize -- the kind you can sell.
I love how Jen has used sound bytes from Beast Wars in this episode. I listen not watch these while working and I had to pull out my phone to confirm, I had heard Rattrap talking.
Wanted to like it; I loved OG Transformers and the stories seemed interesting, but to this day I still haven't gotten used to too-obviously CGI animation.
Hey Simon, .......a simple way to get rid of mice if traps aren't working, get one of those large white buckets (5 gallon size) mice come and go from houses all the time, dig a hole near the house, put the bucket in so it's flush with the ground, toss in some bit of cheeze, hamburger etc..and leave it...the mice will go in and won;' be able to get out and they'll die in there from starvation, or drown if it rains...
The worst job I've ever worked was at a directory assistance call centre -- and that was 100% inbound calls. After about 8pm, most of our calls fell into the 3 Ps: pizza, police or prostitution. During the day, it was often people off their tits on various drugs, demanding phone numbers for places they couldn't name or locate and then verbally abusing us for not being psychic. Our average call times were between 18-30sec and roughly 1 in every 10 or so calls was abusive. We also got a lot of calls from lonely elderly people and tbh, since my average call time was super low (I'm a fast typer and was very efficient), I often just chatted/listened to them for a few minutes and they were always really appreciative of that little bit of positive human interaction. It was really sad. There were also a few regular callers we all enjoyed. For example, Foot Fetish Guy, who would end every call by asking what kind of shoes the operator was wearing (regardless of gender) and respond with what shoes he was wearing and wish them a wonderful day. He was never overly creepy about it, always super polite, didn't hold up the line and was a highlight of the day for a lot of us. There was another guy who did the same thing, but irt underwear. He always said he was wearing something fancy, feminine or otherwise extra. There were little upsides to the job and the pay was excellent, but ultimately, the constant abuse really damaged my mental health and I had to quit. The place had and still has a very high turnover rate for exactly that reason.
Sam, I don't know if you get to see these comments in the basement but I get so much joy when you use Evangelion for the tangents. It's my favorite anime and it would be amazing if you edited a whole video with Evangelion memes. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work.
That would be amazing but I'm afraid it would require an amazing amount of work for just one video though. Gotta churn other channels too haha. Maybe I'll do it when the 15Th Impact comes ;)
I love the past was the worst videos. They're hilarious, informative, well written (props to Danny), and your commentary is great. I know you're going to talk about excrement shovelers. Do you think the aliens who do anal probes think they have the crappiest jobs? Please keep doing these videos.
I often chuckle at the conundrum of alien abduction. Cuz I love the idea of aliens studying us and ironically if they were doing it. "This" method would work. When you think about what a bear must think as we descend from the sky in a metal beast to tag them... Ironically or non ironically depending on perspective... We do check every animals bum we study too. Their junk as well. Sometimes taking samples by jacking them off heh... Suddenly alien abduction isn't so far fetched... Still "torn" on the subject after living through the "lights over Phoenix" irl. Reading up on shag harbour in Canada. But then yeah (southern trailer accent) "Dem buggers probed my bum and stole mAH baby juice"... So maybe not 😆... I'm torn...(perhaps they are too hah...) (On edit I'm still waiting for the military to explain how flares are giant metal triangles that I still haven't seen in military use after thirty years almost? So there is that).
The idea of "Universal Basic Income" makes sense where (and when) a country or society doesn't pay a large portion of the workers a decent livable wage - enough to pay for housing, food, education, etc. I'm pretty sure that most countries these days would fall under that umbrella. In the few countries that have adopted UBI, including the few that have tried it in small sections of their population, that it has been an overwhelming success. The more that people are allowed to actually live their lives as opposed to working themselves to death to just survive the more quickly society as a whole will progress in a forward direction
It's the only way well legally take the money the 1% of the 1% have illegally hoarded without another french revolution(off with their heads). The stupid part is most 1%ers seem to fail at business... If no one can afford your product but a few... It's kind of funny the major precursors of modern capitalism would take every rich person ceot for a few like gates and buffet and hang them in the public square for hoarding(hoarding your money in capitalism is a huuuge no no... Basically they'd burn every investment firm and REIT on principle...
@@bayoubilly5176 ya man. I think modern capitalism is more of a combination of capitalist ideas and the old feudal system where only a very few held almost all the wealth and every one else were peasants. I think that our modern "democracies" function only partially and that the richest are much like the old feudal lords - that's certainly the way the US was designed - all of the well educated rich people made it so they would always be in power so that the "dumb" masses, who couldn't possibly know what's right, wouldn't interfere. I believe the only actual democracy this world has ever known was the ancient Greeks, before Rome took over the continent.
@@ChopBassMan sorry for such a short response but "I agree" heh . Whenever I see gates or buffet or that one billionaire in Cali that pays all his ppl even entry level a very decent salary. I get a little hopeful. Sadly the Koch's aren't as moral heh.
@@bayoubilly5176 ya man. For every philanthropist in the world there are probably dozens of Koch's. Until world society learns that the idea of massive income differences being ok, we don't stand a chance of any kind of true equality. It's really unfortunate that the idea of being selfish and building up huge excesses of material and/or financial things is apparently ingrained in our societies - I would imagine largely because so much of human history has been one of either suffering or being not too far removed from suffering. As the globalization of modern technologies and benefits become more ubiquitous, hopefully we will be able to relax the idea that we're one step away from disaster and the "selfish attitudes" of the world and in particular of the rich to allow incomes to even out some
No Danny don’t you do it! I loves me a good opening act that just makes the beginning of the ride a gosh darn thrill! A blood pumping exciting clever transition into torment and despair that is the past, which was the worst hehe

Bro, the long intros are like foreplay. You may think it's unimportant but for some of us, a long intro is like a nice aperitif before the meal of brilliant snark... A subreferential amuse-bouche, if you will. I've learned something in the plethora decades on this planet: If everything is good, don't hassle the talent, son.
Simon: Complains about long introduction
Also Simon: Goes on a 3 Minute tangent every other sentence
Reading this comment mid Simon rant. Priceless
came here to say that
This entire video is just Simon ranting. I have no idea what it's about lol. I love it.
This is a Tangent Blaze Special where its mostly just Simon rambling about unrelated topics.@@OpenLogicEFI

Simon we all love Danny's introductions. We're still waiting on the script about Danny's life
And also North Korea lol
I’m calling you right now: Simon replaced his legs with bionics on his quest to immortality and he just doesn’t wanna show us.
Or he needs a new charger for his bionic ass and his backup charger has no extension wire so he just sits the entire time
I dont know if this might exist where you live Simon, but where I live the animal shelter has what they call a barn cat program.

Simon should consider doing a Patreon account. I would pay money for an old school style Blaze every week or two, and I bet I'm not alone!
The English comic actor Tony Robinson serves as nonpareil host to an early '00s show later uploaded here to RUclips, 'Worst Jobs in History'. It's on the Timeline channel, and comes fiercely recommended -- especially after this content.
Never stop danny! Intros are the best!
I feel like that "the president is never late" line was pulled straight from Princess Diaries where Julie Andrews, as the Queen says "The Queen is never late; everyone else is simply early". I watched that movie a million times as a kid and that was one of my favourite lines.
Please never shorten these intros and tangents they are my favourite things
Please do a time line and review of all Danny's jobs for one show!!!
On the note of inheriting the King's old clothes; I don't think wearing them is the prize. I think that the jewel encrusted part is the prize -- the kind you can sell.
Simon is now starting videos with a tangent before even hitting the 7 page intro. I love this channel
Danny's intros are why I watch this channel
My number one favorite part of brain blaze is the editor roasting Simon.
Dannys intros are basically the #1 reason I watch these
Yes. There was slavery during the Victoria era.
Long intros are the best. Keep it up, Danny!
I love how Jen has used sound bytes from Beast Wars in this episode. I listen not watch these while working and I had to pull out my phone to confirm, I had heard Rattrap talking.
I squealed when I saw him!❤️
Danny: 2:45 read time
Memeoligist: I get Paid by the Hour Correct?
Simon: 12:15 min. tangents...
total run Time for intro Priceless...
NEVER change how you do this channel. I love it.
Fun fact about Monopoly, it was originally called The Landlord Game and was meant to point out the problems with capitalism.
This by far the most Simon episode I have ever seen!
Beast Wars was one of the best TV shows of all time.
Wanted to like it; I loved OG Transformers and the stories seemed interesting, but to this day I still haven't gotten used to too-obviously CGI animation.
0:05 And you already elicited a loud chuckle out of me Sam.
31 seconds later and again lol
Danny's intros are the best part of the videos! 😂
Hey Simon, .......a simple way to get rid of mice if traps aren't working, get one of those large white buckets (5 gallon size) mice come and go from houses all the time, dig a hole near the house, put the bucket in so it's flush with the ground, toss in some bit of cheeze, hamburger etc..and leave it...the mice will go in and won;' be able to get out and they'll die in there from starvation, or drown if it rains...
Congrats to you all on 300K! It's awesome. I'm an OGBB person. I like to see smart and funny You Tubers succeed.
The worst job I've ever worked was at a directory assistance call centre -- and that was 100% inbound calls. After about 8pm, most of our calls fell into the 3 Ps: pizza, police or prostitution. During the day, it was often people off their tits on various drugs, demanding phone numbers for places they couldn't name or locate and then verbally abusing us for not being psychic. Our average call times were between 18-30sec and roughly 1 in every 10 or so calls was abusive.
We also got a lot of calls from lonely elderly people and tbh, since my average call time was super low (I'm a fast typer and was very efficient), I often just chatted/listened to them for a few minutes and they were always really appreciative of that little bit of positive human interaction. It was really sad.
There were also a few regular callers we all enjoyed. For example, Foot Fetish Guy, who would end every call by asking what kind of shoes the operator was wearing (regardless of gender) and respond with what shoes he was wearing and wish them a wonderful day. He was never overly creepy about it, always super polite, didn't hold up the line and was a highlight of the day for a lot of us. There was another guy who did the same thing, but irt underwear. He always said he was wearing something fancy, feminine or otherwise extra.
There were little upsides to the job and the pay was excellent, but ultimately, the constant abuse really damaged my mental health and I had to quit. The place had and still has a very high turnover rate for exactly that reason.
That last meme legit startled me 😂
Sam, I don't know if you get to see these comments in the basement but I get so much joy when you use Evangelion for the tangents. It's my favorite anime and it would be amazing if you edited a whole video with Evangelion memes. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work.
That would be amazing but I'm afraid it would require an amazing amount of work for just one video though. Gotta churn other channels too haha. Maybe I'll do it when the 15Th Impact comes ;)
Man after threatening to break out the whip, I expected another “NO DONT DO IT!” Sam, you’re slacking mate, slacking.
Simon: "The Past was the Worst" 2022: "Nuclear War?"
I love the past was the worst videos. They're hilarious, informative, well written (props to Danny), and your commentary is great. I know you're going to talk about excrement shovelers. Do you think the aliens who do anal probes think they have the crappiest jobs? Please keep doing these videos.
I often chuckle at the conundrum of alien abduction. Cuz I love the idea of aliens studying us and ironically if they were doing it. "This" method would work. When you think about what a bear must think as we descend from the sky in a metal beast to tag them... Ironically or non ironically depending on perspective...
We do check every animals bum we study too. Their junk as well. Sometimes taking samples by jacking them off heh...
Suddenly alien abduction isn't so far fetched...
Still "torn" on the subject after living through the "lights over Phoenix" irl. Reading up on shag harbour in Canada. But then yeah (southern trailer accent)
"Dem buggers probed my bum and stole mAH baby juice"...
So maybe not 😆... I'm torn...(perhaps they are too hah...)
(On edit I'm still waiting for the military to explain how flares are giant metal triangles that I still haven't seen in military use after thirty years almost? So there is that).
The idea of "Universal Basic Income" makes sense where (and when) a country or society doesn't pay a large portion of the workers a decent livable wage - enough to pay for housing, food, education, etc. I'm pretty sure that most countries these days would fall under that umbrella. In the few countries that have adopted UBI, including the few that have tried it in small sections of their population, that it has been an overwhelming success. The more that people are allowed to actually live their lives as opposed to working themselves to death to just survive the more quickly society as a whole will progress in a forward direction
It's the only way well legally take the money the 1% of the 1% have illegally hoarded without another french revolution(off with their heads). The stupid part is most 1%ers seem to fail at business... If no one can afford your product but a few... It's kind of funny the major precursors of modern capitalism would take every rich person ceot for a few like gates and buffet and hang them in the public square for hoarding(hoarding your money in capitalism is a huuuge no no... Basically they'd burn every investment firm and REIT on principle...
@@bayoubilly5176 ya man. I think modern capitalism is more of a combination of capitalist ideas and the old feudal system where only a very few held almost all the wealth and every one else were peasants. I think that our modern "democracies" function only partially and that the richest are much like the old feudal lords - that's certainly the way the US was designed - all of the well educated rich people made it so they would always be in power so that the "dumb" masses, who couldn't possibly know what's right, wouldn't interfere. I believe the only actual democracy this world has ever known was the ancient Greeks, before Rome took over the continent.
@@ChopBassMan sorry for such a short response but "I agree" heh . Whenever I see gates or buffet or that one billionaire in Cali that pays all his ppl even entry level a very decent salary. I get a little hopeful. Sadly the Koch's aren't as moral heh.
@@bayoubilly5176 ya man. For every philanthropist in the world there are probably dozens of Koch's. Until world society learns that the idea of massive income differences being ok, we don't stand a chance of any kind of true equality. It's really unfortunate that the idea of being selfish and building up huge excesses of material and/or financial things is apparently ingrained in our societies - I would imagine largely because so much of human history has been one of either suffering or being not too far removed from suffering. As the globalization of modern technologies and benefits become more ubiquitous, hopefully we will be able to relax the idea that we're one step away from disaster and the "selfish attitudes" of the world and in particular of the rich to allow incomes to even out some
🇨🇦 the last asbestos mine in Canada closed in 2011. The past was the worst.
Danny’s introduction speaks to my 6 years of working for in a call center for canadian and American cellphone companies.
not even a full minute in, and factboy's already spiraling off into a tangent...bless him
Danny's introductions are the best part Simon
"Danny, what are you doing?"
He's pleasing the people, Simon!
"What are you up to, The Past?"
I remember Danny's bread job from last year. One of the original business blaze videos.
Love how Simon doesn't understand he IS the call centre boss all along
Editing is absolutely hilarious haha
The introductions are back! Yes! Thank you!
No Danny don’t you do it! I loves me a good opening act that just makes the beginning of the ride a gosh darn thrill! A blood pumping exciting clever transition into torment and despair that is the past, which was the worst hehe
