I see that WhatsApp scam is now here. I see it on a great many videos. See the post by Bentley George. Has around 15 comments
So we have this top secret bunker with hidden entrances all over, I used one of the entrances the other day but couldn't get through the bunker door once inside the hole. There was rubbish everywhere, empty rappers/banana skins/potato peels/bits of wood from the trees surrounding the hole. It was like someone was using it as a dumping ground. Decided best to use another entrance but when heading back to the surface , a dead dog dropped through the opening. Still had the collar on with a phone number.
@@illkaw Oh my heavens, empty rappers. No doubt victims of Rastafarian vampires.😁
I tried Magellan. I didn't like it. There is no way to preview what's being offered on the front page. You have to click on each one. The entire front page reloads when you go back and forth. Vexing for a slow connection. I watched some of the stuff there and it was fine, but many are kind of cheesy. And they don't refund at all. A lot of German and French docos with overdubs and subtitles.
Magellan TV is da bomb diggity for my history mysteries, ya dig?
Random guy in 2000 B.C.: I'm gonna fck with people in the future by building a random rock wall for no reason
Troll skill:100
Might be the same guys who carved an entire village into a cliff.
@@kdrapertrucker their troll skill was even more superior so the rock wall guys skill was more like a 60 . They probably set the bar for trolling
Did he get the country next door to pay for it though?
Aquila Rossa yes through a trade deal
I always think future peoples will find the ruins of our shopping malls and think they "must have been used for religious purposes"
Boy, that Red Elk guy really gets around.
I noticed that too
He will be featured prominently in Unexplained America Pt. II
Total legend.
I noticed that as well
From legendary 19th century geologist to late 20th century hole expert... Makes me wonder if he's retired yet...
"Unexplained America" could be a whole new channel for Simon!
Unexplained, a sort of combination of Geographics, Sideprojects, Top Tenz, and Xplored focusing on inexplicable and mysterious places and events from around the world? That would be awesome!
Can you imagine the whining and insults we'd hear from our friends the Brits, French, Germans etc if he had a channel called "Unexplained America!!" ... And for that reason alone I say GREAT DAMN IDEA!!! 👍
@@WKRP187 I love when friends insult me.
"Unexplained America... and neighbors".
I wouldn't mind some Canadian weirdness on youtube (🙋♀️ from 🇨🇦).
And I'm sure Mexico must have some (🙋♀️🇲🇽 ☺).
Explain America would be a great new channel
When I saw "general weirdness from the USA' pop up in my notifications, I thought "wow, Simon has made a 6 hour video"
Is 6hrs long enough though to talk it all through? 😂
@@sailawaymatey5889 It would have to be a 10 part series of 6 hours each to even touch the surface. One part would have to be those weird ass churches who harass rattlesnakes until someone gets bitten, refuses treatment, everyone watches him die, and then talk about how weak his faith was. Weird, oh yea.
The story ain't over yet.
i expected California Man
On Florida man...
I live not too far from Sedona. Used to vacation there semi regularly, as my mother had a business relationship with a resort there, and they would let us stay for a stupidly low price. Walking down their main street, you couldn't go more 15 paces without someone with dreadlocks who smelled like patchouli oil trying to sell you crystals to help you meditate.Some of them with names that seemed like they were taken from a movie making fun of hippies. I met a Moonbeam, Sunray, and Star Child. I sincerely wish I was making those names up
Sounds like Glastonbury in the UK.
So what's the problem?
Go visit Bisbee, that is where they all go to retire lol
@@NikholaRichter Great lil town in SE AZ.
That's so groovy, man... ~Astral Hopper
Nah, for real, I'd love to go there, sounds like fun.
Dear Simon & Team:
Please don't stop. I love yall's work so much.
I haven't watched the entire video yet, but I feel like Florida as a whole should be on this list. Source, I was born in and still live in Florida
Maybe video on "FLORIDA MAN" on the Biographics channel. What do you think, Simon?
I escaped Floriduh in 2008, but Tennessee has proven to have its own kind of weirdness.
Florida....a sunny place for shady people
@@tncorgi92 Doesn't every place? Canada has me.
I don't know if "meth" really qualifies as a mystery though. They can just study that.
I lived in the village of oak creek in sedona for 7 years, all I can say is: World class mountain biking.
@USA Were you there the same time I spend a weekend there for a month?
@USA Unless it isn't.
Finna shred hiline
Vortexes aren't real lol

Thanks for taking the time
More like “making” the time.
At 5:45 it says "Red Elk", over a picture of Robert T Hill.
Yeah I was gonna say, are they both called Red Elk? Would've been too weird
He knows what he’s on about
That was his nickname. Robert "Red Elk' Hill. He got it from when he would go hunting and the elk would bleed....
I'm gonna stop. Just an error ;)
@@Sideprojects Oh I thought it was just Red Elk was actually over 100 years old and that he had been one of the original investigators of the rock wall in Texas and had discovered the secret of eternal life and that was part of the unexplained mysteries!
red elk is his superhero name. you're not supposed to recognize him in his superhero cloths. you blew his cover!
a commercial every 3 minutes plus a 2 minute commercial WITHIN the video itself all add up to a completely unwatchable video. i won't purposely watch this channel anymore. screw this crap. START complaining about this mass commercial INSANITY that's inflicted youtube over the last few years. WE WANT THIS CRAP TO END! for god's sake complain!
I've been to Sedona several times for various reasons and the only vortices you can find there are between the ears of its many hippie residents.
I used to live there, hippies can't afford the rent. Its mostly rich retirees, and unfortunately, more and more Californians. Most of the people that work there have to live in Cottonwood, and Rimrock areas.
Not true! A vortex forms in Sedona every time a toilet is flushed.
Let me guess, "pot cures cancer, man! It's just big pharma that's trying to keep this healing herb away from us righteous people, man!"
Actually, it takes money to be a hippy, and live a carefree, hippy type lifestyle. Otherwise, you're probably just a homeless person.
@@mattobermiller5041 No serious doctor, or scientist says "pot cures cancer".. However, it sure helps alleviate stomach pains, and induces an appetite when chemo leaves you not able to stomach food. This I have personally witnessed after my mom went through breast cancer. She was very much against pot for any reason, until I practically made her try it. Before she even realised it, she was digging in the fridge, offering to cook anything, and everything. So, you can mock the scientists that know a lot more than you do about it, and those that swear by it from experience.
Simon trying to tell us he's doing a serious video via the cool lighting: "when I'm lit like this I'm not going to be yelling unhinged improv about Enron, Cocaine, the Nazis and Danny..."
For the last 6 hours I have fallen into Whistler's rabbit hole and can't seem to stop.
What a F****** PRO! I wouldn`t have thought Simon could ever read these stories with a straight face after seeing him do Business Blaze. Impressive!
I was listening to Coast to Coast AM once and there was a guy talking about a deep hole. I guess it was Mel talking about Mel’s Hole. Anyway, he said he lowered a box into the hole. When he brought the box out there was a big egg in it. The egg hatched and inside was a dog with the eyes of a man. At that point I had things to do so I never heard what happened to the man-eyed dog hatchling.
That is absolutely insane
Did you ever stop and think, boy this story sounds like a bunch of BS?
What in the actual flying man eyed dog egg fu€k?, that is absolutely crazy I would have had to check to see if I were awake or if I were dreaming even just simply hearing that story on the radio! Not to mention if it actually happened (supposedly) to me! That fool just ain't livin' right! You can't tell me that wasn't some meth head just seeing crazy shit while he is actually just staring at the wall in the crack house he is actually at or something! then calling it in to who he thinks is alien Santa on vacation in Disney world but he actually some how called the show... that's more believable!🤣😂🤣🕳👀🐶🥚
@@beehphy If you don't think that every time you tune in to Coast to Coast AM, you're just not paying attention.
I imagine the Feds took it and its now being used as a pet, or for research by our lizard alien overlords...
Who needs Magellan TV when we've got you for everything!
You are a legend.
I can confirm that Sedona is the most New Age-y place I've ever visited. As for vortices: the Airport Mesa vortex is a great place to watch sunrise and it has a wonderful view of the Verde Valley. Maybe that's enough.
I don't know why people need to make up stupid stories or use pseudoscience to justify truelly majestic places and beautiful vista's. That's all it has to be natures natural magnificence is more then enough
Unexplained would be a great new Simon Whistler channel!
A sort of combination of Geographics, Sideprojects, Top Tenz, and Xplored focusing on unexplained, inexplicable, and mysterious places and events from around the world? That would be super awesome!
Came true =)
I think William Shatner already has a TV series with that name. Potential lawsuit...if they ever found Simon's YT kingdom...
Stop. There's so many of those and they're all full of feces. Why not continue to have a good channel about history, of which there are fewer.
Wouldn’t that end up being his 789th CZcams channel?
As someone who lives in Arizona, I know exactly what's going on in Sedona: they live in the desert where there's next to nothing to do and subsequently lost their minds. It's happened to the best of us.
I am an American and even I have no idea what is going on here anymore.
But what do i know I'm in Virginia. We are all like "Not my problem. Let Maryland freak out about it." 😆
It's okay, you're in good company! We don't have a sniff of a clue what's going on here in the UK either 😂
@@skylined5534 That's why we're so messed up.
Literally camping at lake ray hubbard as I watch this. Had to rewind and make sure I heard you right! Grew up in dfw my whole life, seen the wall and nobody ever told me it was a controversy or the history!
I'm from Tucson, and I can't thank you enough for everything you said about Sedona lol 😂 nailed it
You should do a Art Bell video on it's own . Millions listened to him for years on their way into the night shift . His voice and the content of subjects warmed us as we worked or drove the highways in America . We all ( most of us ) knew it was entertainment and he got us through our dark shift as the rest of the world slept peacefully . RIP Art .
Listened to ol Art for years!!!
Hi Simon. I love your channels and have been binge watching for some weeks. You really, really need to do a show on the American Mound Building culture. It's a fascinating bit of history very few are familiar with. Thank you.
Sailing rocks, the Devil's racetrack, etc... They have figured out why the rocks slide across the dry lake bed in Death Valley. I've been there many times since we live 90 minutes away.
I live about 90 mins from Mel’s hole but never have seen nor heard of it. He almost said kittatas correctly. It’s west of the center of Washington Ellensburg is a small town off I-90. Nice place but boring.
He gives out quite a bit of old and/or out-dated information, on top of mispronouncing a LOT of names and words. His writers need to step up their game. There's some people in this thread that seen to think Simon researches all this stuff, which is ridiculous.
So they slid on ice yet they leave a trail in the mud below the ice.
Not likely.
I must be lost, I did not see a single reference to cocaine and only one fleeting reference to communism.
Wrong Simon video channel...ALLEGEDLY
Not business blaze
He did imply that Sedonans are "spacey"...
A disturbing lack of memes, and references to a man allegedly kept in a basement, too.
Allegedly you’re on the wrong channel.
Just wanted to thank you, Simon, I’ve learned a ton watching all your videos. Love your humor when something is just silly
I grew up about 20 min north of Rockwall and never knew about the wall. But the adjacent Lake Ray Hubbard also has things buried beneath its depths. In the middle of building the lake, heavy rains forced construction workers to abandon clearing the area, leaving behind loads of construction vehicles and massive areas of uncleared forest. They never returned to finish the job, allowing the lake to fill up, burying the construction equipment and making Lake Ray Hubbard a flooded forest.
Dig up the wall and make Texas pay for it!
There's a lot of flooded forests in Texas. Often enough, they didn't clear the land before making a reservoir. Great for boating?
I’ve knows about the rock wall for about 22 years. My 10th grade teacher was from there and she assured the whole class that everyone from Rockwall Texas knew about the wall. Now I kinda feel like she lied to us🤷♂️
The thumbnail is of the sailing stones in death valley. They figured that one out a while back
Still weird
They call it “The Devil’s Racetrack”
It was discovered that a little rain and wind caused the sailing stones.
@@workingmothercatlover6699 yep and a very thin frozen layer of moisture across the ground, because it gets cold in death valley too
I'd be interested in an unexplained video of other countries, I'm enjoying this one and would be happy to watch something about France,for example,or Australia
Australia has a few similar mysteries.
@@owenshebbeare2999 They'd at least have to do Harold Holt
@@owenshebbeare2999 most of Australia is a mystery.
Great job for Matthew for putting together the awesome business blaze script and this. A true legend.
Hey, Simon, I know you don't care (because I'm an OG BB legend) but playa is a Spanish word and is pronounced "PLY-ah." Just thought you should know. That being said, the Racetrack Playa is so neat! And the ice theory you put forth is exactly what my geology professors thought it was way back in 1997 when I took a class about the geology of Death Valley.
Racetrack Playah sounds like a dude that picks up women at NASCAR races.
Simon said "Efforletlessly". I just wanted to be 'that guy' that points it out😂😂😂
This is a word that I usually cut out of scripts because I can never get it right. This time I guess I forgot ;)
@@Sideprojects still a great watch as always 👌
@@Sideprojects Can relate. 'Phenomenon' has always been my stumbling block for some reason
For my little son, it was "banana". Once he got started, he couldn't stop :)
@@Sideprojects lol can't effortlessly effortlessly
"cant exist" "hoax" "no evidence" THEY GOT TO HIM GUYS.
Simon has always been a critical thinker.
Wake up sheeple.
@@Sideprojects I seriously hope the OP was being sarcastic.
"Allegedly"
lol
I’d like to see Simon do a video for each of his channels the way he approaches business blaze.
He makes those videos epically fun.
🤔 He hosts *_how many_* channels now? 🤔
Simon is a busy man. Not that I'm complaining; more interesting stuff to watch and learn. 😁
I believe he's up to 9 channels and he's not that busy because he has 3 clones to cover the work.
"Leave those ads for the plebians. Amirite?" - I subbed when I heard that line. Humour mate :D
Signed up for Magellan TV through one of your links and I love it
Thanks
mrgunsngear - another of my favorites!
pet theory: someone made the Kensington Runestone as a troll job, possibly over a winter of nothing to do, then Olof found it some number of years later
I've lived 15min from Rockwall for 35 yrs and have just heard of the actual rock wall just in the last year. In fact very few locals seem to be aware of it in my experience. Still awesome to see it covered here.
I can say the same thing about the earthen pyramid outside of Cairo Illinois. Despite the famous Egyptian name, most locals don't have a clue as to why it was actually named that.
Native Dallasite. This is the first I've ever heard of Rockwall's rock wall in over 70 years around here. We do have some odd geology.
Yep, same here. I've lived in and around eastern Dallas for 36 years and had no idea.
Love all your videos just subscribed!
Would love to hear your take on megalithic structures in Egypt.
Egyptologist these days aren’t looking too smart!
I can’t get enough of your videos!!! Keep it up! :)
And now, in the debut episode of Simon's Whose Life Is it, Will the real Red Elk please stand up!
Simon going all unsolved mysteries.
Don't worry he'll make a new channel. Allegedly!
He's hardly Dennis Farina though is he?
New channel time?
Dbnkd will be his new channel.
Yeah, I'd really like more 'Unsolved Mysteries with Simon.' As a new channel or otherwise, I could see it being a pretty fun BB topic for a vid (or a few.) Especially those he could really take the piss out of.
Huh, you lost a like in the like two seconds between me seeing your comment, liking it to an even 30, and then opening the full thread.
Not that it really makes much difference just caught my attention.
Sedona is a trip Simon! Highly recommended. Love that one of my favorite CZcamsrs is talking about one of my favorite places 🤙🏻
you have so many high quality channels! just want to say well done keep it up my man
Sedona seems like the place where a bridge salesman could make a fortune
Where is London Bridge??
@@georgemcintyre3508 Oh, it's right in Sedona! It's next to the Brooklyn Bridge. Do you want to buy it? I think we could work a deal for your purchase of London Bridge. But first, let me consult your horoscope to see if now is a good time for you to be making such a large, important purchase from a random person on the Internet.
"Hey, I heard there's this big hole in this place!!!"
"Cool, I'll look into it!"
**gets coat**
I can't believe they'd talk about Meghan Markle like that.
Another channel?! How do you have any time Simon?! Fantastic job as always!
Unexplained America would be an apt description of the whole country at the moment.
I live about 15 miles south of where the Kensington stone was found. I was on display for many years at a local museum and I got to see it. Most locals believe its real and that it is proof the Vikings went far inland. Intricate ancient ruins by a farmer would be tough but who knows. There is still a county park where it was found.
As a huge Business Blaze fan it's so odd watching Simon present all "professional" like this haha
I love these fascinating little side trips that you make.
i def am fascinated by early nordic expeditions to america. had me excited tbh.
The racetrack playa lol, got a kick out of that, sounds like your talking about some smooth talking racecar driver lmao. We pronounce it like "ply-uh" :-)
I thought that was a weird name when I heard Simon pronounce it. Then I looked at the spelling.....
I'm Soo glad I'm not the only one! 🤣....my only correction (no disrespect)....
Simon.... 'ply-ya , [ or ] ply-yah'
Music man....No Diggity, No Doubt, Black street, Dr. Dre😜💕💕.
It's spanish for 'the beach'. (Playa)
Everyone pronounces it ply-uh, except for those who mispronounce it.
About 20 years ago or so Coast to Coast AM also had a guy on that invented a time travel device. He talked to Art for hours.
It fit in the palm of his hand. When he found himself waiting in a line or something he would take it out of his pocket and move it around in his hand. Time then sped up and he was transported forward in time.
What he was describing was basically a type of fidget spinner & poor Art Bell had never heard the phrase "Time flies when you're having fun".
I'm reading your comment on a time travel device, lol! I look down, enjoy some vids or w/e... then I look up, & what do you know?
A couple of hours have disappeared into the ether!
Woohoo! Another great upload :)
I enjoy your channel so much. I am simultaneously entertained and taught. School should be this fun.
"Symmetry" in geological features is absolutely not uncommon. Rockwall is a natural feature.
Racetrack playa has been largely understood, but still weird.
Interesting video Simon, top job mate!!
Love this chann and mega! Love the tone and accent of your voice Simon.
Feeding the algorithm
Feed me Seymour!
The algorithm is hungry!
I grew up 30 miles from Rockwall. Never knew about this. Name of the town makes more sense now though.
Worth mentioning about the runestone is that in the last couple of decades it has become essentially proven that literacy in Scandinavia was high throughout history, they just used runes on perishable materials and made no attempts to keep the writings(so that when literacy was recorded officially, it was minimal because it only counted latin literacy).
So, runescript didn't die out here in Sweden until sometime mid/late 19th century, maybe even very early 20th century(my grandparents were all born in the 1910s and had no knowledge of runic script BUT, mentioned it a few times as something older people did, i just wish i had known then what i do know and asked properly about it), when it was finally replaced completely with latin script for the majority of people.
Meaning, that if the runestone is a fake, it may very well have been written with the runescript that was normal in Sweden in the 19th century. Meaning that the supposedly partially abnormal script/language itself is NOT fake in any way.
And when i read up on the stone, well, it seems to fail in many ways, but at the same time the excuses made for the fails are at least halfdecent and the fails are not severe and there is some small backgrounds and support to be found for more travels across the sea.
Don't forget that at the time the stone was "found", knowledge about vikings in N. America and the fact that it was what was called Vinland? It was myths known to few people. Öhman was more likely to know about runic script than he was about Vinland being in N.America.
Also, there IS an Icelandic document from 1347 about a ship that got off course while returning home from Markland with a cargo of timber. This at the very minimum suggests that travel there was relatively common, as otherwise a low priority cargo like timber wouldn't be taken from there, you just don't go to unknown lands for timber, when they could go to Scandinavia for it.
So, overall, it's really hard to tell if the runestone is real or not. There's enough evidence to suggest that it could be, while there's also enough evidence suggesting it's fake. Although looking at how it was dealt with when found suggests it is less likely to be fake.
Yes they became somehat famous for finding it and... Not much else, they did not seriously try to exploit the fame or make serious money from it. Which they easily could have done, far far more. They treated it more like what they said it was, something cool they found that they liked to show off but it wasn't their life.
Badass videos.. Always. Thanks Simon!
Lived in arizona, prescott valley, I was upside and back down just about every single butte in Sedona and I gotta say I never felt seen or experienced any vortex there.
Lived in Sedona and same. There are people there that believe a UFO is under one of the mountains as well and I am like what are you smoking and why aren't you sharing?
Good video 👍
Love the topic
I'm most amazed that there were two guys called red elk in two different mysteries
I know its been covered numerous times, but you can't do American weirdness without Marfa.
Marfa lights still leaves scientists and researchers confused, and arguing. Its fun to watch scientists argue.
They're headlights man. I've seen them myself.
@@porkcracklins630 lol no they ain't, lived down there awhile used to see them all the time
@@shawnwilliams854 Yeah, they really are. I've been out to Marfa repeatedly over 15 years. Its regular lights. Ain't no ghosts. Ain't no aliens.
Marfa Lights is not a recent occurrence: there are well documented statements of people seeing them in the 1800's. Not a lotta cars back then. So the source of the lights is only part of what has people confounded.
The bigger question: exactly WHY any visible light would behave the way Marfa lights do.
"General Weirdness"? I love the title! I'd like to see his life story in the biographics channel. General Weirdness, leading the fight against the ordinary, one quirk at a time...
I love how red elk was two peoples name in this video. Lol. Great video bro. Love any content that you are doing. It seems like you are more free to be yourself on this channel. Love it. Keep up the good work!
I live in Dallas and had no idea about the rock wall. Thanks Simon!
Recently a geological historian did samples of the stones and found that it's a naturally occurring structure because the rocks have no fractures that aren't symmetrical from rock to rock. If it was man made the fractures wouldn't be symmetrical.
Damnit Simon, I'm in Texas and we only get 4 hours of electricity a day if we're lucky. Your numerous mid reels and ad reads are using up precious time with power!
Why do u only get 4 hours of power?
@@shadymcnasty5920 winter storm, back in January. Cuz our power grid sucks. It was an old comment
I do love listening to your stories
Managed to catch a video from my favourite CZcams channels no 47!😹
Every time you say "playa", you make me want to cry. It is pronounced "ply-ya" not like player without the r.
And Fox Mulder figured it out to be a combination of ice and water transitioning.
Sedona, and particularly the Bell Rock/Oak Creek area is absolutely gorgeous.
Even if you don't believe in "vortices" and such it's a great little hike.
*Words cannot express* the feeling of sitting on an intact stone seat in what was once the home of people who lived over 6000 years ago.
Like really, go or don't, but don't let some hippie-dippy nonsense keep you from experiencing first-hand something many never do.
Hi Simon and company
I would like to suggest a new Mega project or Side Project that might interest you.
It involves one of the largest non nuclear explosion, mining underneath the ocean and it all being broadcast live, for the first time ever, across Canada.
It is called The Ripple Rock Explosion.
I think it is worth looking into as it is a bit of interesting local history here on Vancouver Island. I know you like the Pacific Northwest and I thought you might like to look into this.
Thanks for your time, and I've always enjoyed your interesting and informative video's.
Cheers from Canada
Ah yes, Mr British pimpin. Happily subscribe to any channel your on, I enjoy your shows, keep it up man.
Olof Ohman wins as the most Swedish name I've ever heard in my existence
I've heard of all of these except Mel's Hole. And Simon explained why, because there is zero evidence it even exists, and no one has ever seen it. Not even sure how that one made the list. The others are all iffy, but at least there is something to argue about depending on how gullible vs logical that you happen to be.
As a kid (ages ago) I was most smitten by the mystery of the Kensington Runestone. But even as a kid, the thing that bothered me the most, was how extremely unlikely it was that a group of Norwegian/Swedish Viking adventurers would document their adventures in 1362, and here comes the part I could never get over....536 years later, what are the odds that this Viking Runestone would be found and dug up, by a Swedish immigrant? That was just a little too convenient and coincidental, for me, even though I really wanted to believe in amazing Viking stuff. LOL
And on top of that I'm pretty sure vikings didn't use the gregorian calendar that was a Christian thing
@@douggaudiosi14 But they did have the Julian calendar and an example of dated papers going back to 1225, Julian.
no evidence for Oak Island either, but they built a TV empire out of that nonsense.
A day in the life of Simon:
-Make lots of coffee
-Open email
-Print scrips
-Turn on camera
-Record a minimum of 23 hours of raw footage
-Check the stats and comments in each of his 38 CZcams channels
-Repeat
Notice something missing? Well there’s nothing missing. Simon does not sleep.
Me a med student who loves history 😂 loving all your channels Simon 😍
Random Troll thousands of years ago stacking a rock wall: "ooh yea, people are gonna lose their shit trying to figure this out"
Troll level:♾
No, I'm Red Elk!
Really interesting. A similar video about canada would be neat!
Great video 👍🏻 Also, Simon, I really like your choice of shirt, the colour is just amazing and really suits you 😃
Racetrack Playa is a perfect name for a race horse
Or a hip hop artist who likes NASCAR
yeah... except for the fact that it's actually pronounced "ply-ah" which is Spanish for "beach".
In the uk there was a racehorse called Martins Booby 😂
The new Robert Stack and Unsolved Mysterires
Taking a break from binge watching ThatChapter crime vids (Mike the Irishman rivals Englishman Simon for pronunciations!) seeing Simon has a . . .mysteries vids! Woo Hoo! Snow Day BONANZA!
"Leave those ads for the plebeians", Simon says as I watch his ad about Magellan TV.
Rockwall isn’t just a clever name after all
I live in Dallas, but I never knew Rockwall has an actual rock wall. What's next, Lewisville actually has some guy named Lewis living in it?
@@chitlitlah I always wondered if there are two roommates in Calgary named Cal and Gary.
As a native Arizonan, that name pronunciation was painful to hear.
The worst pronunciations I’ve ever heard
Good.
As a person that's lived in many of and visited all of the states, I'm guessing no one gives a shit.
@@Sideprojects good that Red Elk appeared twice. It is the Spanish pronuniation Playa (beach) and you said Rockwell. The Rockwall was proven to be a geologic formation.
You basiclally do what they call "throw a grenade in the room and walk out" your an idiot. I want you to keep making money off America since it pays well for youtubers but, I am sure we will get tired of you. The problem is the rest of the world watching this thinks it is true and doesn't research anything just like you do. Enjoy the Czech Republic where you live but, maybe you should come here and research things. Your editors should be fired or just keep putting out junk but, remember the youtube money will run out so, invest it in something instead of spend it like the other Goobers do on youtube. BTW I don't know if you made anything on me I fast forwarded through most of the crap and skipped the ads.

Born in Minnesota and lived here my whole life and never heard of the rune here always learn of something new every day I guess
So much America(USA) stuff.. we're not the only people around... at least you labelled this video with USA often they are labelled simply America. We have over 50 countries in America. I thank you for all your videos.
