Always use promocode Blaze when I buy Vessi's, and yes they are the only shoe I wear 👍🏻
I'm gonna skip the Vessi ad reads until they ship to EU. I'd really buy some, but they don't seem too intersted in taking my european money.
Lol yea I have a small collection of vessi shoes myself
Why did Justin look like he shat his pants on the Great Wall of China? And I do recognize narcissistic personality disorder, my fate hr had it, and Justin would probably damage his kids even more. He had to study martial arts, or he would get so many shit kicking,s, and probably still will in places like China where he is outranked by 12 year old Kung Fu kids, were all saw Kung Fu Hustle!
But that is what happens when an emotionally and intellectually undeveloped child ends up with millions of dollars, why should they grow up? Because your a dick if you dont' but I doubt he cares. He is surrounded by a fake world as a result, nothing is real, especially his "friends". When the money is gone, they will go too.
That was a lot! I feel like I should put "The End" below...still, it's only 2 cents worth.
You mean like the time Simon did a video about fantasy and then complained the whole time about how he doesn't like fantasy?
John Cena holds the record for most wishes fulfilled for the Make A Wish Foundation. He's such a standup guy :)
He’s fucking legendary. 😎
Is he still shilling for Beijing tho?
Didn't know that. I like him even more now!
Thank you!!
@@Juicewski2 to be fair he was towing the line for his shows and movies. Not being a mouthpiece for Xi. However anyone believing anything from the CCP is just an idiot anyway...

I used to clean J-Lo’s pool, and my boss definitely made it a point to ensure I never looked at or spoke to her. He said she was his most rude client. 😂
I was going to ask if you’re Ben Affkeck!
Was she wearing clothes?
Did you pee in the jacuzzi, or tip a bottle of pee in and say it's a chemical and charge her for it, you gotta get wise if you gonna get old,
@@meaculpabeth Ben has looked like that for decades though.
😮
You started off by mentioning Bill Murray as an example of what you were not about to talk about. Here’s a story of why. A friend of mine was traveling on business and had a layover. He was sitting in the airport bar and noticed that the guy down the bar from him was Bill. He worked up the nerve and went over to say “hi”. After a short conversation, my friend offered to buy him a drink. Bill looked at him and said (probably not an exact quote) “why would you do that? It’s because of fans like you that I am where I am today. I should be buying you a drink.” He then called the bartender over to do just that. Legend!
watch him in graham norton and how he was giving paloma a drink and throwing objects at the audiance ,that will change your mind.
Since you mention Bill Murray.... the most amazing thing that I have heard he does is, if someone notices him in a restaurant, and provided they don't make a huge deal out of it right then and there, he will ALLEGEDLY walk by, take a bite of your food and say "no one will ever believe you" 😂😂😂
Sounds like a prick 😂
absolutely true. in Telluride Colorado, bill bought a mocha wit a hundred dollar bill from the store my friend worked at. while he was counting the cash, bill wrote on a piece of paper "salutations-Dan Ackroyd." then he left. pretty nice tip. bill is a cool guy.
Well, I will believe them now.
I had a friend who cooked for him a couple times. Steaks, I think? The guy was a class act.
that is EVIL and i love it
fr though, Danny Trejo is an absolute legend.
he was at a convention a few weeks back, and while i couldn't afford to approach him for a photo and signature, he instead approached me for a photo and a chat afterwards. he left me crying with joy.
the dude's incredibly humble, and often lingers around for people to take pictures or sign stuff, or just be a chill dude.
he's such a sweet dude.
Dude's dude! Actor's can learn alot from fello Actor's like Danny, don't want the fans don't be famous,
Danny is a great guy, I met him almost thirty years ago in OC jail. I’m glad we both got our 💩 together and got sober.
I was taking film delivery of a movie he produced and directed that the company I worked for that bought the rights. You have to obtain a lot of legal documents in short. He was an absolute amazing person to deal with. Such a lovely man. Many times going thru the process with other films was a battle as they don’t get paid until everything in the contract is delivered. He was a delight.
Damn! Now that's cool!
His book is so good! Get the audiobook if you can. His life in his words is so profound. I grew up watching his movies and was already a fan. His book made me love him even more.
The entire video could be just James Corden

Not all of us have 11 hours in a stretch to listen to Simon describe the behavior of that human barnacle.
20 years ago I worked at Disney World in college. J-Lo was at the park one day. She came into the retail location I worked at and came to my register. The only acknowledgement of my existence was handing me her credit card and taking it back while not looking at me. No eye contact, didn’t even look in my direction, said nothing at all. Stormed off as if she was mad. I would of been pissed too for spend over $1000 for crappy souvenirs too. Strangest customer service transaction of my life😂
To quote Ozzy Osbourn, "What's a Bieber?"
I think he's the reason why, in the past, alto castratos were banned. The past sometimes really was the worst. Voice of an angel?
Every time Simon mentions Bill Murray being a legend I can't help but remember that Bill Murray is the reason we never got Ghostbusters 3. He got into a fight with Harold Ramis and, due to a clause in the contract, refused to let another movie get made. Ramis (and the others) attempted for several years to get another movie made, even offering to buy Murray out of his share. The only thing he was willing to do was to allow them to make the movie so long as he didn't have to be in it (or died immediately) but would receive a significant percentage of the film profits... of the film he didn't want to have a part in.
After Ramis died Murray subsequently decided "sure let's let a new Ghostbusters get made... so long as I get paid a metric f*ckton of cash." Hence: Ghostbusters 2016. Then Afterlife, where he also got paid quite a bit of money.
This isn't even mentioning the countless times he's been abusive or just straight up an irrational d-bag to people behind the scenes.
In summary: Bill Murray is not a legend. He's an arrogant jerk who has convinced people he's a legend by having capable comedy writers play up the "lovable jerk" angle early in his career.
It's true.
bill Murray is a self obsessed fraud.
To be fair, Ghostbusters 3 was actually made, just not as a movie. Ramis took the original draft script for Ghostbusters (which simply couldn't be made due to the amount of SFX necessary) and used the concepts to wrap up the trilogy. The result - which Bill Murray DID reprise his role for - was Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
The game revisits locations from the first two movies and ties everything together, explaining a lot of the plot holes and leading to a confrontation with the spirit of Shandor himself. Ramis and Akroyd have both declared the game to be the official finale to the trilogy, and the fandom has mostly agreed.
After Ghostbusters: Afterlife came out, a splinter group claimed that the game was no longer canon because one of the collectibles was supposedly Shandor's skull. However, if you collect the item, you find the talking skull is that of some comically depressed and pessimistic soul. Thus, while Shandor may have owned the skull, it obviously wasn't his own skull. Additionally, while the game mentions that his followers buried him in New York, both the game and Afterlife make it clear that Shandor didn't trust his followers, and that he had those few he DID trust sneak off with his body and transport it to the mine. Ironically, when Gozer returns, Shandor tries to suck up to it, but Gozer clearly remembers what happened in the game and reacts appropriately.
Bill Murray is notoriously difficult to work with as an actor. He's almost never on time and can be very fickle or temperamental. However, he's done several interviews talking about how the Ghostbusters 3 scripts were always the issue, not Harold Ramis himself. Thankfully, Terminal Reality was able to bring the best out of these scripts and the drafts from the first movie to create something truly wonderful. The game not only allowed us to get the big finale (and also the extra-dimensional plot elements from Dan Akroyd's original draft that Ramis had tried to bring back one of the failed G3 drafts), it also meant that Murray could perform his lines on his own schedule without having to share a set - which made production go far smoother than that of the first two movies.
I’m with you!
Blii Murray is a huge Diva. He's done a few good things like punched Chevy Chase. But He's a hugely arrogant asshole.
Brain Blaze script idea: have all your writers write a script about another one of your writers. You could even incorporate a game where some false stories are included and Simon guesses which ones.
That’s a terrific idea!
Or have 1 topic they must all cover and whichever entry gets the most overlap gets its own deep dive video.
Alternative BB script idea: Give Simon a big envelope heavy with paper that he's to open when the camera rolls. All sheets of paper are empty. Then we watch Simon freak out about it for about 30 to 40 minutes.
Amazing idea! Fact Boy, make it happen.
I wanna see a danny episode for fun, also an April fools episode, would be ace
Oh man, I love when factboi gets angry at the sun!
It’s nearly as good as when he gets angry at Siri 😂
My brother was a head chef at a Terrance Conran restaurant in Wardour st London and Madonna wanted to bring in a party of 15 when the kitchen was shut, inbetween lunch and dinner when all evening prep was done. He refrefused and told her assistant unless Madonna wants to come and do the prep herself 'go away' true story 😂
That only got Madonna mad. Stopping dinner prep would have gotten a bucnh more people mad.

It's perfectly understandable how someone suffering from a migraine could be mistaken for having a stroke. A migraine is a neurological condition and not everyone who gets migraine gets headaches! When I have a migraine, I rarely get a headache, but my eye on one side drops quite noticeably, I start slurring and losing words making me difficult to understand, I get confused and experience memory issues, sometimes severely and lose balance and coordination to the point I can't do simple tasks like fasten a zip or walk. Compare that to the symptoms of a stroke and you'll see they are quite similar, to the extent I've had to talk a GP out of calling me an ambulance, which is quite challenging when I'm struggling to string a coherent sentence together that can actually be understood.
I was thinking similarly! One of my major symptoms is partial paralysis on one side... First time it happened I also thought I was having a stroke 😅
Agreed. Migraines are no joke! Thankfully I've only had a handful in my lifetime.
One morning I woke up with one that was so bad that I couldn't even sit-up to begin to try to get out of bed.
That sounds really scary. I liked the comment to spread awareness of this, have never heard about these syptoms before.
@@anthill1510 I do try to comment because it took me a long time for me to get a diagnosis because I don't get headaches. Doctors don't think of migraine. It was only a throw away comment on a podcast about silent migraine that eventually lead me to a diagnosis. I have been investigated for mini stroke and brain tumours as a result.
To be fair when I worked cleaning rooms in a 5 star hotel we were warned that if we treated the famous people in any way different from the regular guests we'd be in big trouble. Asking for their autograph or photo was instant dismissal. The hotel prided themselves in trying to have as "normal" a stay for their guests as they could.
I agree with you there. I used to work as a room attendant in Canada Nova Scotia. And we were told we cannot ask for any autographs or anything like that. We can't even tell that we saw xyz or cleaned their room anything or like that .if someone did it was an immediate dismissal. It's just part of the work contract
@@rcmpgurl Confidentiality & privacy... even if it isn't law, it's just good policy
Makes perfect sense.
I'm a front office agent here in Florence, and yes, what sells a luxury hotel is not just the comfort and nice decor; it's the security and anonymity. I have colleagues who work in VERY high-profile places, and they are pretty much sworn to secrecy about who is in their hotel, maybe a few months later they will tell me about how the president of France or the CEO of Apple was there but can't go into too much details. I cringed so hard hearing about what this room attendant did! It wasn't professional, and can you imagine if it gets out that a fan was able to reach a celebrity inside the hotel? They would lose a lot of business!
I'm sorry for this lady who lost her job, she was naive, but it's a pretty big deal.
Yeah, when they have a hotel room it is their temporary home in a way. You can't just knock on someone's door to ask for an autograph. It seems hugely invasive to me. Not that I don't think jlo is problematic, but this instance, I am with her. It might even just have been her staff complaining without input from jlo.
Someone on a HGTV tv show said when he was a kid he wanted to be a marine biologist. He saw Jaques Cousteau out in public and was utterly crushed when his eagerness was greeted with something like, "Get away from me. All these little brats bothering me all the time!"
So now he's a carpenter.😂

Shout out to the delivery dude who saved us from 3 way forked tangent. The hero we need. Although it kind of happened anyway.
It's like the Door Dash ads that portray "dashers" as heroes. That delivery guy, dasher or not, actually is a hero. Saved us from giving up an unspecified amount of time to hear a triple-layer-tangent in which said time we would never get back...
Saved us? I'm here for the ADHD fueled tangents
Sometimes it's a little much but I have a friend that does the same thing, it's like ADHD mixed with a little bit of anxiety 😂😂
Ive worked in fancy hotels that occasionally had famous people. It was made very clear even to me who in practice would never meet a guest that if i asked for a photo, took a photo, asked for a signature or in anyway acknowledged that this was a famous person i would be fired immediately. They dont fuck around because that is their reputation on the line
Dear Simon,
Please keep Dave around. He's my favorite writer aside from (of course) Danny. Thanks for everything, this was a good one. :)
you meen daaaaaaannnnnnnnyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! and now daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvveeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
Danny and Dave are absolutely top tier. Love the others too but these two have a way with words
Hey Kevin is the best and lll fight u about it 🤣🤣🤣
@@allanscott21 Right?! I love Danny & Dave, but Kevin is amazing!
I haven't heard Simon mention Danny for a little while, did he forget to feed him again? And get him a blanket for Christ's sake, that radiator he's chained to doesn't even work.
Whatever you think of Clarkson must be tempered by the fact that he once punched Piers Morgan. That nullifies like 87% of his egregious nonsense.
He punched Tymon while calling him a lazy Irish ©️unt. It tempers fuck all.
I do agree on the Peirs Morgan point. Something the script missed here is that the crew came back to the hotel and found no food and then went into the bar to wait while someone brought them something. The altercation happened an hour or so later when they came back with sandwiches and by then they were fairly drunk. And of course, Clarkson then regretted it once he was sober. That doesn't excuse his behavior, but quite a few people have done things that they regret once they were sober. He was perfectly sober when he punched Morgan, and Morgan justifiably deserved it.
Cool, someone publicly announced their own inability to use basic reasoning skills.
@@stephenparsons542 Really? Morgan was engaging in unprovoked violence, therefore it was morally justified to use violence to stop him?
Or are you just saying that when you don't like how someone is behaving, it's acceptable to you to use violence against them and blame THEM for your actions?
Let me guess: You vote democrat?
@@michaelhendricks9462 Morgan was spreading rumors (false ones at that) saying Clarkson having an affair with one of the shows female producers. He was shooting off his mouth attacking both Clarkson's reputation and the producer's reputation. He and Clarkson got into at one point and Clarkson punched him. Fun fact: last I checked that producer was now Morgans boss.
I sat rather close to Dennis Rodman in a restaurant. When I was leaving he looked up and i touched my ear and said he looked wonderful. He called me back and gave me an autograph for my sons.
I'd heard he was touchy, but I didn't experience it.
I was a backup musician in college and we worked backup for acts who generally hired horn sections or other backup or stage crew locally. Carlos Santana, John Kay, Dizzy Gillespie, Arthur Fiedler any others were generally very kind people, albeit edgy when performing. The kindest I met and spent time around were BB King and Jan Hammer. The absolute worst was Mel Torme :P ki
Your experience is not uncommon. Dennis is actually a very nice lad. But he had that bad boy image he worked as his public persona. He could be touchy only if you were persistent and inconsiderate.
He went to college just 1/2 mile from my house. I delivered numerous pizzas to him and his friends back then. Always nice, always tipped, always smiled. He was a BMOC but gracious and considerate. Back then he was just a skinny tall kid named Worm who played better than most.
I bought a pair of Vessi's, and i love them. They're so comfortable, I'm able to walk much further than before. As a disabled person, that's awesome.
Awesome. Now do the wholesome version about awesome stuff celebrities do 😊 please
Yes! Mocking the mean-spirited is fun, but hearing about kindness from the rich and famous is a comfort.
The Hoff is a dude sends a mates mum Christmas cards every year, and Bruce Campbell, handsome, whitty, down to earth, hell of a chin, and handsome, he payed himself in a film about himself being a crap actor for a laugh, and he's it the x files playing a heartbroken devil who just wants a family,
Mr. Rogers used to do some pretty awesome stuff
Rumor is that J. Lo got someone fired for singing the South Park "Taco Taco" song
I've been a stagehand for almost 20 years and this stuff is no joke. Some of the 'talent' ya can talk to and it's fine. Others can get all kinds of angry and all of them can essentially getcha fired. As such the general rule of thumb is to leave 'em alone if ya value your job. Ya just never know if they'll be a giant 'Karen' so it's safer to just not take the chance. I have however seen the rider for what Jennifer Lopez requests in her dressing room.... that alone told me, "This lady has a VERY high opinion of herself." It's really no surprise that she'd treat the 'help' as plebians.
LOL, It kill me the way the editors constantly roast Simon. Does Simon actually watch these before uploading them? 🤣
He knows people love it. It makes him money and won't get him sued. Just like him playing dumb most of the time. Some people like to feel smarter than others.
Simon isn't a dumb guy. He doesn't mind acting dumb to help make money. It's all part of being a business man; making the others feel good about themselves.
Jeff Goldblum loves meeting his fans and admirers. I guess hes a pretty chill guy.
I listen to Simon while I work. Today was a mash-up of channels/episodes... one was a year old, where he frequently yelled at the sun... and Simon is still yelling at the sun. 😂

The job I work for has enabled me to talk to some celebrities, there are nice ones and some real jerks. I won’t drop names because I like my job and don’t want to lose my job but there is one specifically that comes to mind, also not mentioned in this video, I now dislike watching the movies they are in, movies that I loved, but I hear their voice now and I remember the conversation with said celebrity and I can’t stand the movie now, it’s like nails on the chalkboard. Sad thing is in public they put on a good show, I’ve seen people singing their praises how nice they are, but when dealing with them in real life when they aren’t potentially on camera they don’t hide their real personality.

Idea For DTU Topic:
I think the Arthurian Legend would be a good topic to cover, not to uncover if Arthur was actually real but rather to determine all of the components that were used to creat the legend we know today. You guys could start with main well-known legend, then break it down into the different myths and historical figures that have contributed to the legend, going by time period from the pre-druid mythologies and heroes, through the Druidic era of Britain, and into the Christian era of Britain and how the Holy Grail was added to the story when the Church took interest in the island. Then end with the writer(and also Simon) giving what they believe to be the most likely development of the legend.
I think that this topic is familiar enough to draw peoole in, with ample chances for asides and tangents throughout, and enough historical and mythological content to drive Simon batty and inspire several "the past was the worst" outbursts.
He did do this on Biographics, which I'm *sure* is 100% historically accurate: czcams.com/video/7fuVAnAZXHU/video.html&pp=ygUSYmlvZ3JhcGhpY3MgYXJ0aHVy
Can we take a moment to appreciate Sam's sound design? Excellent directional effects on Simon's departing farts.
As someone with diagnosed ADHD, I've actually genuinely been convinced Simon has ADHD for a hot minute XD
Same here!
That would explain his constant rants; I'd thought it was coke.
The hypocritical part of jennifer lopez reporting the maid is that one of her famous movie roles was playing a maid, and she was probably a role model for the fired maid before that incident. "Jenny from the block" couldn't write her name on a damn napkin as a tip for the poor girl?
Also, not sure if the stories about Bill Murray are true, but several people have come out saying he's a real bell end.
Ya. I think Simon has covered that before actually. In early year and prime he was a pain to deal with. The super cool lovable uncle vibe was his later golden years.
That's ridiculous. Most hotels that rent to celebrities will tell you when hired that your not to speak to the celebrities any different than normal people, and under no circumstance are you to ask for something. It's an immediate termination. So yes I think her STAFF, not her, were perfectly justified in reporting her. Also, so what it she was playing the part of a maid in one of her movies? As for making her a role model? From a movie that's reception was mixed to poor? "Time magazine named it one of the top 10 worst chick flicks." If she really was a role model and got that job based on her, then that job wasn't going to last either way.
@@mentalshatter Maybe 'Jenny from the Block" and her staff could realize people make mistakes... And not report an innocent interaction, where they would have good reason to believe someone would get fired over?
@@Busefalis I used to work at a hotel...that is weird famous person or not.
Only Simon can have tangent in a tangent about his repeated tangents, then get a call leading to a new tangent💀💀💀
I recall the smug expression he had in his mugshot when he was arrested for street racing, like he was untouchable. That is when I started to really dislike Justin Bieber as a person rather than just not my genre of music. If you haven't seen the photo, look it up and feel the rage.
Can we get a whole video on the amazing, wonderful and mysterious things Bill Murray does? I’m a big fan of him as well. Love his movies! 💜
I would LOVE that as well!!!
You can really tell how long this rant went on as the light continues to travel up 😂😂😂 love it.
Showing up to a random house party and then helping clean up/doing the dishes is pretty legendary.

That Teletubbies baby in the sun thing..... that shit creeps the hell out of me. every time.
If Dave ever gets doxxed he'll only have to worry about getting bombarded with fanny candles instead of the traditional death threats
Please make a part 2 theres so many more celebrity bells!
20:06 To be fair, we don’t know all the facts. Yes, asking a patron for an autograph while on duty is across the line (and most people at 5 star hotels know this). It doesn’t say she came to the room for that reason - she was probably there to clean. Even so, the maintenance staff at hotels have it bad enough - poor benefits and minimum wage - she didn’t have to report it and get the lady fired. If you’re turning down beds all day and cleaning up after strangers, you’re probably not turning down other lucrative jobs to do so.
It doesn't matter if she knocked on the door to ask for an autograph or did it while cleaning the room. It's a huge no no and all staff know it's a fireable offense. Reporting it was the right thing to do and so was firing her. I've worked as a cleaner (not with famous people) and while the work is hard, it's not hard to follow the rules. I knew what behaviours would get me fired so I didn't do them.
@@MsMaryPatricia
You can have your opinion and I can have mine - that’s what the comments section is for.
They just make it seem much more overt than it could have been, and getting someone fired for asking for an autograph (even if against company policy or general accepted practices) is just kinda low when you’re a huge star and have other things you should be concerning yourself with and don’t even appreciate how important the job is to the person in question. It reeks of classism.
I worked in the Ritz-Carlton and dealt with famous people several times, and would never ask for an autograph because it’s unprofessional and kind of impolite, but if it had been someone I was a huge fan off and I ended up making some comment (treating them as anything other than a guest) I could see getting reprimanded, but getting fired for a one time occurrence that doesn’t include stealing or violating a guest’s privacy seems a little harsh - especially if the celeb were to report it themselves. If it was one of her team, that would be more understandable. We don’t have all the facts, so we can’t say she was egregiously in the wrong.
An "elimination diet" recommended by a Dr. is indeed very restrictive AT THE BEGINNING. The idea is to start with a diet of foods that don't typically cause the symptoms you're investigating (EG: migraines), then add in foods until the migraines recur. Then you just avoid the foods you identified, and go back to eating everything else.
Vessi shoes look like...
If your landlord lived in a trailer park, these would probably be the best you can afford.
Gwen P tweeted right after the lockdowns lifted that things for her had gotten so bad she had to eat bread. I know people who were using fast food napkins as toilet paper. But she really knows the struggle of the little guy.
Dave's a good writer I enjoy his work, & Danny is definitely a golden goose in your Wonka factory. make peace, profit. Simon bro, keep doing what you do. I enjoy watching.
Seeing the "Sunlight Rising Saga" was the cherry on the top of the video. Watching how it worked it's way up added an extra layer of suspense. Thank you for the heads up at the begining.
Vessies rock, I received them as a gift but didn't know how great they are! Waited till spring to try these out. Wow! Just wow.
Jenny from the block was being asked to sign the legal papers to cover all the damage but the person trying to serve her was fired.
"Celebrity Karens"...?
When did we stop calling those people Divas?
I still use the word "diva", and only just now, from your comment, made an association between the two.
Karen is more egalitarian? xD
I went to see a band I really love, The Dead South, from Regina, Saskatchewan. They are very big in Canada and have won several Juno awards, equivalent to the Grammy in the States. They tour all over Europe, and Australia and New Zealand and play to packed houses. I saw them last year in Central New York. I was very early for the show, doing other stuff in town, and walked past the venue. Outside the tour bus with some roadies was the mandolin player. I would've been too shy to say anything, but when he saw my band shirt, he said, "I like your shirt!" and stuck his hand out for a shake. Later I saw the lead singer hanging out by the bus chatting with a little girl and her parents. I blurted out, "I'm so glad you guys are here!" (Brilliant, right?!), and he cocked his head and grinned and answered, "Well, we're glad you're here, too!" There are 26,000 fans in their biggest fan club, and many post photos of themselves taken with the band before and after shows, even at restaurants. Such a lovely bunch of guys! Three of them have been together since kindergarten, and the fourth since university. Talent, friendship, loyalty, and kindness for their fans all rolled up in one!
Simon is truly the most humanly thinking way of life. I don’t care where you’re from. I’m a retired vet from the U.S. Army and you sir never disappoint. I hate the disgusting humanity behind the story but cannot stop listening to your absolutely respectful way you have put each video with the thought of each victim in mind before the gruesome details needed to continue the story. Thank you from America and all of humanity because people seem to forget the care that I live and breathe just to keep any normalcy alive for everyone in America or anywhere. Please share anything (including from Simon) because the love he shares is more important than any political views that people hold onto. He is the only willing content producer to speak the truth and project what we have been feeling for so long!
I thought the difference between divas and Karens was that Karens are racist and reinforcing societal power structures
19:50 Yeah, employees at hotels shouldn’t go to people’s rooms and ask for autographs. To get someone fired for that though is definitely a crappy thing to do and isn’t deserved, in my opinion. Getting somebody fired is 10 times worse than a fan trying to get an autograph.
I disagree. Reporting and firing the employee was the right course of action. All staff know you're not supposed to ask for autographs/photos or engage in any sort of fan fare. Once the employee crossed that line there was no going back. Who's to say they wouldn't ask for more or even worse, tell their friends where the star was staying so they could get one too. You can easily replace a cleaner but the hotel relies on their reputation. If they lose that, celebs stop coming and that puts more jobs at risk than just the cleaner who couldn't follow rules.
Absolutely, these people should get fired. You are there to perform a job, not harrass the guests. I worked for a hole in the wall restaurant in my late teens and there was a blizzard that shut down the airport's from NYC to Boston and Tyme Daily was being driven from one city to the other in a BLIZZARD and stopped at our restaurant as it was the only place open. It was me (the hostess), one waitress, and the manager (who was cooking). I immediately recognized her when she walked in. I said good afternoon, Ms. Daily, smoking, or non? Sat her and walked away. The waitress couldn't stop STARING at her, nor could she form a coherent sentence while taking her order. I noticed Ms. Daily becoming more and more uncomfortable. I went to the manager and spoke with him about it. He went to her and asked how things were going and when the waitress came back all googley, she asked if I could be her waitress. I literally just treated her like a normal person. When she was done eating, she asked me to come over and sit with her. It was amazing to just talk with her. She asked me about myself and stayed away from herself. I avoided asking her about her life, and when she left, I got a nice 500 tip, and the other 2 got 50 because they couldn't keep their starstruck selves from gawking and stammering.
Elimination diets are common for migraines in order to identify triggers, but the point isn't to stay on it long term. instead, you slowly add things back in to notice when a spike happens
Exactly! Elimination diets are also part of figuring out food groups to avoid if you've got Crohn's, Colitis or IBS etc. but it isn't supposed to be forever 😂
This is surely the first of 10 videos on this topic, and I (who generally doesnt care one bit about celebrities) is here for it.
How is it that within the first 30 seconds I am already laughing 😂 keep it up Simon Oh and by the Way how many writers are now lock in The Basment
I've heard Hollywood was trying to replicate Simon's success in the Blazement and that this is why the WGA are striking.
...allegedly.
Simon either needs to start taking adderall, or stop snorting coke, not sure which, but certainly one or the other
Although not a fan of his I feel the need to defend Jeremy Clarkson. We know from sources on that day he was working when his father had recently died, his wife was in the process of becoming his ex-wife and he was having a generally shitty day. No excuse you might say, and despite being prevailed upon by the BBC's lawyers to say otherwise Jeremy Clarkson would agree with you. He said other people have had just as bad a day and they didn't start punching their workmates in the face.
Being Jeremy Clarkson he added it wasn't as if Oisin Tymon was Richard Hammond or James May who, he intimated, were much more deserving of a physical assault. Further Oisin Tymon himself refused to report the incident to the BBC because he was aware of the precarious state of mind Clarkson had been in and it was Clarkson himself who reported the incident to the BBC.
Finally Jeremy Clarkson has said the BBC were right to sack him because such behaviour is not in any way acceptable under any circumstances. That is not the behaviour of someone entitled it is the behaviour of someone who had a really bad day, was a bit of tosser on that really bad day, and accepts and owns it.
I was as happy as anyone else to dump on Jeremy Clarkson for this incident but a deeper dive proved I was wrong and for all his many other failings - and they're many - Clarkson is not an entitled prick.
A little story... Van Damme use to stay at a hotel I worked at. He stayed for almost 3 months and so did some of his family. There is alot I can tell but when you mentioned the kitchen story it made think of his son calling me around 1 am in the morning and says or states rather" My father wants some chocolate ice cream with chocolate sauce AND I KNOW YOU CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN! " I said ok sir... and took it to him 😆I could have said no but by this point in his stay if you knew there would be hell to pay from his assistants every morning around 5 am
This is the best side of Simon, love the tangents and unconstrained raves. Keep it up
And I find it weird when a lot of people talk about vaginas when they actually mean Vulva
Funny thing is, I don't even know the word for vulva in my mothertongue. I assume it's vulva, just pronounced differently, but I've never heard anyone say it and I'm 33.
Edit: I looked it up. It is Vulva just pronounced phonetically in my language, but I promise you that if I say it no one will know what I'm talking about 🤣
Gwyneth has bin accused of (among her litany of sins) having very offensive b.o.. I wonder how her co-stars cope in that situation? Not happily, I'm sure!
Great job as usual, Simon. Do you sign autographs? You should keep a stack of autographed head shots for fans ❤
Calling Justin Bieber’s music trash is an insult to trash. Trash can at least be repurposed and do something useful on occasion.
I was diagnosed with ADHD earlier this year and it makes me feel so much better when I see other people do the thing. If Simon can go on tangents without it being annoying or disruptive then so can I. Who wants to learn about Alligation?
Oh I got one, Vanilla Ice! He was suppose to preform in our small city of Hopewell, VA around 10 years ago. Well after not showing up on time and people waiting 3 hours, someone finally went looking for him. Apparently he was found on the other side of town at a waffle house and drunk as hell. Apparently they finally got him to go perform so he did one song, which he extremely botched in his super drunken state and then left... people were pissed!!! And to this day I regret having missed this complete shit sho.
Funny story about Vanilla Ice!! He was shaken down by Suge Knight for a HUGE sum of money and with that he started Death Row Records. I found that out the other day. Lol
He's got the nice-looking armchair in the background that he never uses. When the sun is in his eyes, he should do the show from the armchair.
Speaking of divas and sun in the eyes...have you heard that story of captain on a battle ship and the sun was shining in his eyes during a briefing so he ordered the bridge crew to turn the ship a couple degrees so the sun wouldn't be in his eyes anymore? Instead of just standing in a different spot lol
The way I heard it he was sitting down to eat iirc, only to realize as he sat down that the light was in his face so he called up to the bridge and had them alter the course slightly.. Either way, legendary move
I live in Los Angeles and my dad was in the movie business so I met lots of celebrities growing up and have never fawned over any of them, they’re just people. I have had two memorable encounters those and the first one I’ll mention is when Bette Midler came into the stationery store I worked in when I was a teen and as I had always loved her music, etc I did say to her that I was a big fan and she was extremely negative, no smile and no thanks, just a bad attitude. The second one is when I was waiting tables at a vegetarian restaurant and market and Lyndsay Wagner, who starred in my absolute favorite tv show when I was a kid, The Bionic Woman came in and was shopping in the store part and I went up to her and quietly told her that I absolutely loved her! She was so positive, friendly, receptive, gracious and kind and we had a conversation that went on for several minutes. What a gem! Fame tends to go to too many people’s heads and they get extremely distorted egos and turn into buttholes to put it lightly. Especially those who start out as child stars…it generally ruins their lives in various ways and some get permanently ruined by the sense of entitlement and grandiosity that can happen. Like severely spoiled kids who are never told no, get everything handed to them on a silver platter and never have any consequences for bad behavior….it absolutely ruins them! And they go onto ruin the lives or days of those around them.
Sam with the subtle savagery and an Asterix reference. *chef kiss*
If I had to deal with someone like Jen when I was a server I’d have done the exact opposite of anything she wanted or didn’t want. She doesn’t want this on her salad, well she just got extra added to it. Plus said salad will take 30+ minutes to be brought to the table
That's what I remember! Back in the day the servers had their own website to warn other servers what celebs to watch for that tip crap. J.lo was the lead on everyone. She'd leave change and even went so far as to tip $10 for +$1000 meal. When she was with Ben in '03 he left a black jack dealer a $100 bill - Jen picked it up and left what she thought was more appropriate - the guy said Ben came back, apologized for her behavior, and gave him the money back. That site went down in '05.
I will never get tired of the Simon walking away sound effects. Thanks for all the work you do Sam!
I worked with Jay Leno on a make a wish for one of my patients over 30 years ago. He was the kindest man, so sweet with my patient and going above and beyond.
The rise? We’re well past the rise of the celebrity Karen. They’ve been there since the inception of Hollywood. Only difference now is they’re finally being called out for it.
Funny man as always. Maybe make an episode with only south park for cutaways. Gold.
Simmons tangents in his tangents make me realize. We should get a list of his best tangents (would make a great vid for TopTenz)
Surprised Amber Heard wasn't mentioned in this one. But we may have already had a blaze on her. Hard to keep track at this point.
The video/sound editors for The Simonverse videos are spectacular. 100/10 Oh, and good list Simon ;)
Agreed. I feel like Sam did a particularly great job on this one :)
Should do a celebrities being legends to balance the scales
Kind of cool to see the sun on Simon Whistler's face. Shows how the day is progressing while recording the video. Also, it would have been cool if Simon showed Jennifer Lopez's parody on South Park.
Simon: I just received a delivery and have completely forgotten my tangent!
Every editor: Scour the earth and find this delivery person. We must uncover the source of their secret power!
Simon needs to see the manager about that sunlight. He's too important to have to put up with that treatment. Lol. 😂
Indeed. And have you noticed that we've never seen Simon eating garlic? Or when talking about his favorite foods, mentioning garlic? And in this video, he mentioned how he drank his 'meal replacement'. Does this mean Danny has finally escaped the basement, and Simon's had to find a substitute?
Most of the interviews I've seen regarding Clarksons producer punching from people not on but around the staff, people from automotive manufacturers on set and such often say said producer was a bit of a pushy bellend himself, so not that it was right but it was likely long time coming and less about a cold steak.
The best part of these videos is Sam roasting the hell out of Simon with every single edit
The elimination diet is supposed to be used to figure out if you have an intolerance to FODMAP containing foods and you are supposed to slowly re-integrate these foods into your diet to figure out exactly what foods causes your symptoms.
My goodness Gwyneth Paltrow is out of her goddamn mind! NM that she looks like the feminine Marjorie Taylor Greene but you're just not sure who's crazier 🤣
Said it before and I'll say it again. Simon DOES have ADHD. I have ADHD and yes I do a lot of tangents too!
I concur so much! I also have ADHD. Unfortunately for me, my tangents aren't a strength where I work. Simon has cracked the code.
Happy Saturday
If you're seeing this, John Cena, have a great weekend!
Lmao John Cena is going to see this video. Also, Jezza can’t do wrong. But I didn’t say that. He’s my favorite whiny entitled baby 😂
Vessi, I am begging you, please ship to the UK!!! Also good vid Simon.
I hope for a part 2 😁
Oh, there's plenty of material for part 2
On behalf of Canada, we're sorry for Bieber. And Shatner, too 😋.
Hey you fought like lions in 2 world wars that way makes up for them 🇨🇦 🇬🇧
I have no problem with Shatner. Bieber you can flush
@@Theshropshireratter 😂😂😂 fair point and thank-you (well obviously I had nothing to do with it, but you know what I mean 😁🖤).
@@slake9727 deal 😉.
Jennifer Lopez started her career as a dancer. Part of the FlyGirls on "In Living color" she should remember her clawing her way up and not be a knob.
In clarksons defence he had been promised a hot meal after the shoot and was very hungry which is probably how he got so drunk so quickly also the man he hit only went to the hospital so he could have medical proof for when he took clarkson to court he was treated and discharged within a few hours
