OMG you were all over the place with this video. What are we going to do with you? You are so Hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
As Simon is so fond of scripts and voicing them ... I would gladly pay good money to see him lip sync the " I am the globglogabgalab " song. ... ' would be hilarious ! ! (great 'B roll ' footage) lol
I feel like this is one of your few channels where you can actually be simon instead of having to be a professional presenter. Well aside from youtube being scared about cursing and such.
4/20 (Brain) Blaze on!
I love how Simon will constantly talk about how he knows nothing about Star Wars and never will. Seems to know an awful lot about Twilight, though.... I see you, I see you
Excellent point
Love Twilight. I want to be a sparkly vampire.
@@brainblaze6526
Oh Simon ... You broke my heart.💔
@brainblaze6526 I'm sure you won't see this, as well as leeches drs also use maggots for wound care. 🤢🤢

Simon in a rotten mood, losing his shit over life's little inconveniences, is honestly the funniest video he's done in ages! AND THIS CUP IS COMPLETELY EMPTY! Had me falling over laughing. Sorry you're having a bad day, Simon, and sorry for laughing at your struggles but at least it made for a very entertaining video and you cheered me up from my doldrums.
Oh god me too! I really really needed it too. I just love his ability to keep his sense of humor.
I’ve been crying with laughter for most of this video
Yup!!! LOL!
I was reading your comment just as he complained about the empty cup
Stupid sun.
Fact about leeches: Don't pull them off. It agitates them and can cause them to regurgitate the blood back into you (if they had a different meal before hand, they could give you an infection or some diseases). Instead, use your finger nail (or a credit card) to scrape them off at their mouths. Then quickly cover or bandage the wound.
Ah, the comment I was looking for.
I always preferred the salt method agitates them but they usually let go immediately and fall off writhing. I always wonder if it's effective (the writhing).
I used a knife when I had them on me in Asia
Leech skin (like Slug skin) is permeable. You douse it with salt and it will suck the moisture out of the leech. It will die shortly after.
Instructions unclear, grabbed it with the fury of a thousand suns and ripped with the hatred of the doom marine.
When Simon was describing the Petard's assistant being the biggest target on the battlefield as he approached the gate, all I could think of was Aragorn screaming
"BRING HIM DOWN LEGOLAS! BRING HIM DOWN!!!"
Yeah that's what I was thinking about too.
@@brainblaze6526 I thought you hated Lord of the Rings? That scene was from the second movie during the Battle of Helm's Deep and you said you only watched the first one?😆
I laughed my ass off through this whole video. 😂 *Simon vs. Sunlight*
Working conditions in the USA currently:
No job security past this very instant. No severance required. No notice of termination required. No vacation/sick days/holidays off required. No bereavement leave. No parental leave. Your employer controls when you sleep, when you eat, where you go, what you are allowed to do on your own time, what medications you are allowed to take, and whether or not you can see a doctor without bankrupting yourself. I'd take stomping in other people's urine over all of that any day.

Was it intentional irony that Simon spent most of a video about history's most horrific jobs complaining about the sun coming out and shining through his window?
He obviously had the worst job ever with the sun on his face
Worst job ever.
Hey, having the sun in your eyes really does suck.
Simon: I don’t watch films
Also Simon: make me sparkle in the sun, like Edward
exactly he doesn't watch films
@@abe19876 except twilight apparently
@@YOURACHODEFACE the joke is twilight isn't a movie
To be fair I’ve never seen twilight either and just from social dissemination I know about the sparkling thing.
@@YOURACHODEFACE Mrs Whistler probably made him watch them. 😆
"Eviscerate" means to remove the viscera; literally to "gut" someone.
Thank you😂😂😂 I was like, how does Simon not know this?!
tightly woven linens and silk armour is actually quite protective especially against slashes. They're also easier to produce and maintain, making them very popular back in the day. even things like chainmail and plate often had a layer of cloth padding for distributing the forces of impacts.
Yeah Shadiversity taught me not to underestimate the gambeson.

Simon just a suggestion: you could always get one or two of those stick-on car screens to block that sun out whilst you're filming. You might already have some as you have kids. Just a thought. Great vid too!!
Or a crazy thought: curtains.
Make the boom look like sunglasses then at least for a few moments it will look awesome!
There are also bllinds that block direct rays of sun without blocking the light
I have those! I had the same thought, but then my next thought was, he can just use old scripts and tape, lol
Maybe Amazon should go into the wool prep business. Warehouse workers could drop off their pee bottles at the end of the shift to replenish the wool softening liquid.
Don't give Amazon more ideas, then they'll start having pee bottle quotas and they'll doc pay if you don't produce enough😂
@@eetadakimasuand to capitalise off the need for employees to drink loads of water to meet their quotas, they'll ban drinking water from any sources other than those supplied by the company...which the company will charge for 😭
Simon, just because something is old and was overused, does not ALWAYS mean it was totally useless, lol. But your rants ARE hilarious!
Yup. My middle daughter has haemochromatosis, a genetic disease where the body absorbs and retains too much iron. It usually goes undetected until the iron builds up to the point of damaging your internal organs. But my daughter had the fortune of being tested in her teens after her uncle on my ex’s side was diagnosed after a heart attack. And what is the medical advice to prevent her iron building up and damaging her organs? Regular drawing of blood. Fortunately for her we live in a country where blood from people with haemochromatosis can be used for transfusion, so she simply needs to donate blood regularly. But if that weren’t possible leeches could be a desirable treatment
I heart Simon's magical glowing right arm
Simon: "MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL, SAM!"
Sam: I'm no magician
One of my weekly highlights! And I really love that they come out after I've put the kids to sleep so I can sit down and really enjoy a brand new Brain blaze!! :D
What time does it come out for you here it was 2 pm eastern

Fulling is the process of tightening up or felting wool cloth after weaving it. The fibers felt together due to water temperature, soap, and agitation. Fulling the cloth makes it sturdier and warmer as it becomes more dense and the fibers interlock with each other. In the images of fulling, you can see the grooved board that the cloth is placed on at 24:02 . The women would rub the cloth back and forth over the ridges with their feet. The ammonia probably did help remove some of the excess lanolin (the oil found on wool), but the wool would have already been scoured, spun into yarn, and woven into cloth by this point in the process. The ammonia might also have helped prepare the fabric for dyeing. There are a lot of steps between raw wool and a coat.
I was looking for this comment, and I'm surprised it only has one like. The way they got fulling completely wrong in this episode makes me think how many errors there are on this channel in other topics I'm not knowledgeable about.
blaze boyo back at it again
the simon tangent evangellion thing gets me every time
This episode absolutely proves you have to do BB standing upright, Fact Boi. And I miss when you violently hit the script...
I miss the bionic ass mic
@@donnaholland1625 No question. So do I.
I want eta back, those were peak insanity days

@@noodlelynoodle. I agree. And btw, ETA spoke Dutch, my native language :-)
In Georgian time, "leech houses" were built to store the leeches prior to medical use.
Only one remains, the Bedale Leech House in North Yorkshire.
It has a fireplace and a small, rerouted stream to help provide an ideal habitat for leeches.
I'm a regular visitor to Prague and lately I found myself strolling around town searching for Simon's office window.
Don't judge me, I was blind drunk.
Take a Coke Zero next time, you might lure him out!
@@eetadakimasu😂
In the urine of mammals most ammonia (NH3) is converted to urea (NH2OH2N) before being let out as its much more soluble and less toxic (among other reasons). It still has the ability to act as a base (increase pH, form salts with acids) like ammonia does, and of course it can be converted back to 2 x NH3-molecules. I think it's the effect on pH that was valuable for dyeing back in the day.
Fun fact: Leechcraft actually has little to do with Leeches, unless you're a quack or living before 1800s.
The word "Leech" in that context comes from old germanic "læce" meaning "Doctor" or "Healer".
Hence Leechcraft just means 'the practice of medicine'.
The technical term for using Leeches is Hirudotherapy, but wasn't coined till like 2000s or something, not sure.
Im a lvl 47 sorceress in the world of leechcraft, id be hiģher but covid has meant i cant get the necessary PPE to advance 🤔😔
That empty mug cut was gold!
Keep it up, Whistle Boy! Thanks for the awesome content!
Sam, you are just the best. Absolutely killed it in this one, man. 🤘
1 yr gone, I don't expect anyone to see this... but I love that 20% of this episode was Simon yelling at/about the sun. 😂
Always love the rants. Yours about leeches brought up the memory where I was little when I had my one and only encounter with Leeches. Was swimming at a lake with my family. Maybe 4 years old? At that point I had not learned how to swim in water over my head so I was near the shore. Got out of the water and had leeches on my legs. All I remember about it is looking down and seeing them as my dad poured salt on them to get them off and then being SUPER determined to learn how to swim way out where the leeches couldn't get me. LOL
Glorious, Simon. Just fucking glorious. Sam, Danny, you Legends keep doing it.
Now Kids, when the sun hits the Simon, this marks the summer solstice. That's what makes Baldhenge so special.
Fun fact we still use leeches in medicine today. We use them to promote circulation and treatment to prevent amputation. Or skin grafts and to promote rejection of heathy tissue.
This is my favorite channel. It's funny to come from one of his serious channels to this one.
Hey,great video and awesome serie. Simon, Danny and sam really are a holy trinity!!
Got to say I'm happy Simon mentions the sitting down, I really think he should do the Buisness Blazes standing up, I'm really here to see him and Sam go full Alex Jones (for a lack of a better comparison) and I look fondly at the episodes where he's roaming around and losing his shit at the script.
love you guys and enjoy today's video :)
Simon, this episode was so banging that I didn't even skip the Surfshark ad. Thank you
The reason Jim staying and that being completely normal in the US is because, for the most part:
1) no days to take off to go to an interview
2) if you leave your job with no escape plan, you lose your health insurance, if you have it
3) if you leave with no job lined up, you are fucked if you live paycheck to paycheck, which is a lot of millennials.
4) a lot of people work multiple jobs too, so you have to find a job that eill let you work at your other job without firing you, and since you have no days off, and very few sick days, if any, if they keep you long or make you work an extra shift... pick which job is least likely to fire you
These videos brighten my day! Thanks Simon and Danny!
Brigtened like the stupid sun
Re: SurfShark VPN ad:
A “HoneyPot” is a device that has been designed to be vulnerable and enticing - and is monitored as a “critical alert system” - alerting the network that it is in that it is under attack.
What you described is a “Man-in-the-Middle” attack - where an attacker (in your case, operating the fake access point) inserts themselves in the flow of traffic and intercepts traffic between the legitimate AP and the client.
4:50 That sun will haunt my dreams... thanks Sam!
Love you all, keep well. You guys are incredible
Man, I NEVER sit through ads but at the end of your Surfshark pitch I realized I'd stayed focused on it the whole time to such a degree that I didn't even realize it wasn't the topic of the video 😅 haha
Keep up the good work and stay safe fella.
What's better than celebrating 420? Watching Brain Blaze and laughing with him.
Before I realized that Simon yelled "f*cking suuun!!" at the beginning, I thought he had a bad butt cramp, because of the movement and position of his left hand. Hahahaha
When we were growing up in was common for open casket wakes to be at the family home. They would last 2 days. I'm glad we at least do them at funeral homes now lol
I have experienced more Simon in this episode than ever before.
Dear Sam, the Nuke going off and Simon screaming sound effect is golden 👌 ✨️ 💛
This is one of the best shows ever Simon is in rare form and I loved every minute
Jen, could you make just a video of Simon's unrelated tangents?! He seems to be creatively broken and quite proud of that fact. It might be an easy longer video full of Simon at his finest. Hope this makes it through to someone... Danny, Peter, ETA anyone....
Shit, sorry Sam, forgot what channel I was listen to. Shit.
I feel you Simon, with regards to the sun in your face. 🙋🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Obviously the 17 year old dog has more value than the child. You've known it longer.
I love your sparkly sun anger in this episode. Cracked me up
Favorite video. With the "why does Simon move his hands so much" followed by "this is totally empty"lol
Self driving trucks replace steering wheel holders. They can't replace me, until they figure out a way to make a hose drag itself to a tank and hook itself up.
Great script Danny and amazing editing Sam.
This went sideways right quick yeah lol? Loved it! Great job.
The leach story had me lolling
Back in 1993 by dad picked a fight with a radial arm saw and lost rather badly, there was no saving his pinkie finger, and his ring finger had been literally hanging by a thread (Both were at the Proximal/Metacarpal boundary). 6 hours of plastic surgery and they managed to reattach his ring finger and resort blood supply and the finger survived, and when mom finally let me visit him the nurses were busy applying leeches to the (Literally 100's of) stitches on my dads hand, was really fascinating and funny watching my dad pretend to freak out about the leeches while off his rocker on pain meds.
The best. Loved every minute
Went swimming at a friend's grandparents cottage when I was 10, noticed several containers of salt lying around. They didn't bother to tell me that the pond was infested with leaches and that they habitually poured salt on them to get them off. Twenty minutes in the water and we all had dozens of leaches attached. Didn't speak to that "Friend" again for over a year.
Best episode ever! Can I just get an episode of Simon being Simon? Telling stories, battling the sun and trying to drink it from empty cups😂 #mylife😂 I can watch this all day, very relatable!
I prefer the Brain Blaze with Simon up and being crazy. He's calmed down in the newer ones. Good episode as always though. Love the tangents
Well I’m not the only one wanting Simon to flail around slapping the script!
The irony of the sun shining in his eyes as he's telling the story of these workers
Uh, too much coffee today?!🤣 I'm here for it! I can listen to you for hours.
This opened with an Amazon job ad.
Also, leech-gathering was the subject of Wordsworth's poem 'Resolution and Independence', so beautifully parodied by Lewis Carroll.
Fun fact, leeches are still used in medicine today! Usually on animals at the vet's when they have swelling around an area the vet needs to examine, not so much with people....
They are used for people. Leeches can draw blood up to the surface more effectively than anything manmade. Used a fair amount in reconstructive surgery.
My mum works in a pharmacy. They've had medical leeches and maggots before.
On one of my stays at Massachusetts General I got into a conversation with one of the nurses, and she said that they kept their leeches in the refrigerator when they weren't being used. In certain kinds of reconstructive surgery they would have a flap of skin sewn down, and leeches could remove the blood before it stagnated, and they also injected a blood thinner to keep the blood moving. And later I read an article that indicated that the best leeches came from the Czech Republic, but were now bred at leech farms.
Lol Sam with the even more scarring from teletubbies.
Do a video on Action Park. Sure they have a whole documentary about it, but it's right up this channel's alley and I bet you and the viewers would enjoy it.
I remember when when Simon worked at the Sainsbury’s, the Thunder Muscle was always neat, orderly, and very well stocked.
Simom's life choice never cease to amaze me 🤣
Keep it up blaze boy 👍
This was one of the funniest videos I’ve seen with your out takes
Legendary start to the video Fact Boy!
I laughed at the dick shadow for an uncomfortably long time.
I loved the Lost Coast reference!
My sister died at the age of 21 while 8 months pregnant. Not only did they present her in an open casket but also her unborn daughter. It has scarred me for life. This was in Australia btw and not the US.
😮😮😮
Good video 👍
The light looks nice especially with the plant on your desk
Came for the script, stayed for the sunbeam saga.
100% certified Not-Fun Fact: There are situations in which removing blood and not putting it back are medically necessary. One of these is priapism (an erection lasting more than four hours). To prevent the penis from rotting and eventually falling off , the blood must be drained, ending the erection. While they generally use a terrifyingly huge needle for this, leeches may sometimes be used.
Leeches are still used today in medicine. They have applications in transplant surgery and are quite beneficial to help with venous drainage until the wounds can heal.
The Florida keys are fantastic, you would love it Simon!
I loved his step-dad voice at the end.
Simon actually sounded good at 26:54 with the "circle of life" stuff
When Simon talked about grenades near the junk, I was hoping for a certain shot from Mad Bull 34.
We now know why Simon sits down now. It’s the leeches!
Today I Found Out: Wool comes from sheep. :-D Thanks for all your videos, great work!
Yo that shadow on Pikachu was entirely too realistic wtf
The really nasty leech-like health treatment these days is using maggots to remove necrotic or scarred tissues. Apparently they are fantastic for healing, but the very thought of it makes me queezy.
Thanks team, made me laugh as always.
4:55, WHEN DAYLIGHT BREAKS
That sun baby meme from the teletubbies got me 🤣
That baby has a baby of her own now.
The suit and the formal delivery are gone, 2 down to 4 go, script slapping, walking around, bionic ass and his never ending supply of cocahina. Doing those sponsored ads fror the cartels was definitely worth the effort 🤣
Oh Simon, toughen up. It's the Sun! Glorious, precious, warm SUN. I've just suffered through a Tropical Australian winter and I can't wait untill the temperature rises above 30° and I can be warm again!
a mime and flaming raft, my funeral just got better
Summer is Coming.
Maybe SW needs to do his filming down in the basement with Danny.
