I imagine Simon tucking in his kids every night like "this bedtime story is brought to you by the legends at Vessi. More on them in a bit"

[cnaisbitt]

Danny is an absolute legend of a writer. best of the best.
I can see why Simon won't let him out of the basement.

'The format here is I read the title, then immediately ruin the mystery using my big brain'... Love it 😂

What you are saying IS NOT a bad take! I totally agree with you Simon about how most people act when they are being yelled at and kind of threatened IF they don’t 100% buy into a certain way of thinking, turns most people away! Personally, the more a person, a group of people or even say half of the media gets loud with me and are obviously trying to push me into their way of thinking, the more I want to do ANYTHING but what they’re preaching! You and I definitely have that in common! You should never bow down to those with bigger mouths than you. People who are only agreeing with something due to how it makes them FEEL and not based on what the actual FACTS are seem to be the people with the loudest voices! Most of the time they are spewing total BS and are lying to you the majority of the time!
Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴

Wherein we watch Simon, the self-proclaimed “big brain, fact boy”, struggle and completely fail to remember what a plastic lid is called. I live for such moments.

Simon : snail ice cream? I don't want to eat weird things
Also Simon : I want to eat all the weird animals

The way we can detect the flip in magnetic poles is with oceanic basalt and other lavas. When the rock is molten the magnetic elements in it can move and rotate, aligning with the current magnetic field. When the lava solidifies it locks those magnetic elements into place. So by dating and comparing the patterns in the rock we can get an idea of the magnetic field at the time.

In one of the Gulag Archipelago books, Alexander Solzhenitsyn recounts how the prisoners dug up a woolly mammoth and before scientists could examine it, the prisoners ate it! Apparently it was an improvement on their regular rations.

Simon should make a satirical conspiracy theory channel where his writers come up with the most insane random conspiracies and present them as facts while delivering it in the onion style satire. It would be gold and sadly would probably be the biggest hit channel he’s ever made.

Fun Fact: The difference between True North and Magnetic North varies where you are in the world, and varies slightly over time. That is why you need to know the difference, called Magnetic Declination, and need to realign your compass before using it for navigaion.
Unfun Fact: Forgetting to do this will end up with you in the middle of a field with a bunch of angry team members wondering why their knackered asses are not relaxing in the nice warm chalet, and contemplating if a sock full of Kendal Mint Cake is enough to bludgeon a man to death with.

Most impressive is how Danny still manages great scripts despite the shackles, gimp-suit and darkness. I guess it shows how good those Vessi shoes are.

I last used a compass last week. Very useful, actually. Even if you're not lost. If you have one, and so does a friend in the next town over, you can locate a forest fire in minutes with a map. Both of you take a bearing to the smoke from your house (a bearing being the compass direction to the thing you're looking at). On the map, you draw a line from each house at the bearing taken there, and where the lines meet is where the forest fire is. NO need to wait for the evening news to tell you if you need to pack out or not.

I thought about Simon's rant against paper straws (which I agree with) when I went out for my husband's birthday at a nice Italian restaurant and my blackberry Italian soda was served with a straw made out of PASTA. Not like a very long hollow spaghetti, it absolutely felt like plastic, a little transparent blue even, and had a more sturdy feel than a McDonald's straw (which somehow ALWAYS split on me, and then I'm sucking up air with my soda, I hate that). We need THAT with biodegradable cups, instead of plastic cups and paper straws. We didn't test to see if the pasta straw was edible (it certainly didn't seem like you could bite it without breaking a tooth) or just how long it would hold up, if it became a limp noodle after 8 hours... but at least it wasn't disintegration before I finished my soda.

Coming soon from Simon: Encoding the Known! A podcast about taking well-explained things and building conspiracy theories out of them.

Milo Rossi of the Miniminuteman channel has offered up what I believe to be the best explanation of the Rese map. He noted that the point closest to South America matches the coastline of Tiera Del Feugo, and that the other side of the land mass matches the northern coast of Australia. He also points out the section is more than three times the size of the actual continent of Antarctica, rotated almost 60 degrees, and says that it is very likely just an artist's interpretation that connects the southernmost explored lands at the time into a single continent.

Simon, I like to repeat something said at the beginning of a Netflix special about the College Admissions scandal here in the US: Prestige originates from a French word for Illusion. All the prestigious schools offer an illusion of superiority. Just because someone went to Harvard doesn't make them smart. While I was working on my Ph.D., one of the ladies I worked with liked to cite studies from Harvard because she assumed the prestige of the school automatically translated into credibility. I like to systematically rip such studies apart to demonstrate they're not without flaws or perfect. Harvard is just a Brand Name everyone knows with a lot of money behind it... but that money goes into the endowment, NOT the research. Their research isn't any better than any other place. In fact, what matters more is the credibility of the individual authors and not the institution. I always say I've known some pretty stupid people with Ph.D.s. But unless someone is practicing law and they hold a degree from Harvard, They're not any more special than anyone else. Harvard is famous for their law school and that's their strength. Every thing else, not so much. People that go there have an illusion of greatness behind them, and that's it.

Less than 2 minutes in and fact boy goes into one of his tangents! This one features snail ice cream! 🤣🤣

[hasher]

I love the upbeat melodic music when Simon is just sliding in a personal comment. It then just instantly changes back to mysterious with Danny's narration 😂

[nicholaslewis]

30:52 I like how Simon can look up Gerald Ford and not realize he means Jimmy Carter😂
