@@ridethroughlifertl I used to work for a major moving company (it was Mayflower), I can tell you right now, that whole thing of moving companies breaking your stuff is VERY rare. In fact it's proven that your stuff is more likely to get broken when YOU move your own stuff, than when you hire a professional mover. Why? Because the moving company is financially responsible for those damages. They're a business, they REALLY don't want to pay that. Moving companies also have to have very special insurance for hauling household goods, and have to be approved by the FMCSA/USDOT to do so as well

IIRC the leading theory is that after he left the river and climbed the embankment, he tripped and fell into a culvert. He got back up, still slightly drunk and lightly concussed. Made it a bit further through a field where he passed out, and was unfortunately consumed by a combine. The reason there's never been a body found is because his tattered remains were swiftly consumed by the wildlife.

Kevin thank you SO much for providing subtitles to the video clip at the beginning, makes it so much more fun when I understand WTF you are saying 😅 Bathing with your kids is pretty common in the U.K. too, but it tends to be either 2-3 kids together in the tub with an adult supervising, or a parent and a smaller child (often under 3). I believe in Japan is culturally common to bathe together as a family? It was also how we bathed when I was a kid too, parents went first, then a teen got a bath to themselves and finally the under 10s were put in together and supervised. Saved a lot of water, and kept the hassle of bathing everyone to a simple system one evening every other day (sometimes every 3 days) rather than an exhausting routine of dinner, baths and bed every night with lots of kids running around lol. I am so excited to watch another of these episodes!

Simon being very upper class in his understanding of moving. There's 3 stages of moving. "I'm new to being out on my own and renting fully furnished places with all the kitchen utensils and whatnot, I just need to move 3 boxes, a suitcase and my computer" "I have a bunch of boxes of stuff to move but I'm still not financially established and thus a friend with a pickup truck or a rent-a-van is a big help" "I have a ton of stuff including furniture and everything to move, but I'm financially established and thus can afford professional movers." Someone skipped step 2. Moving companies exist, but they're also expensive. Folks need to make a living doing this, and a friend who will give you a day in exchange for a $12 pizza is a hell of a lot cheaper than a moving man who needs a day's wage plus whatever the company's share of the profits are for that day.

You can get extra services from U-Haul like a driver and movers trust the U-Haul lesbian 😂 and it's still all pretty cheap it's just most people drive, so they rent a small truck themselves. My ex was a truck driver so of course that's what she wanted to do. My family hires teens which just feels a lot better than giving money to the company. We paid a few boys just hanging out in a park nearby to unpack our truck with us, gave em lunch and about $30 bucks each which is basically the rate for movers with a U-Haul. They were actually excited they went from having a flat basketball and doing nothing to free lunch and $30 extra at 15-17.

Even splurging on a company to move the big stuff… you’d still get friends to help you pack everything up and move the boxes, because if hiring a moving truck for a few hours is expensive, hiring a company to do the packing and spend the time to move everything is insane
@ComedorDelrico Жыл бұрын
Simon, we have pickup trucks in the US. Pickup trucks make up about 20% of all vehicles in the US. It varies depending on state, of course, with Wyoming coming it at the top with 37% of all vehicles being pickups. If you don't have a pickup truck, then your dad or your neighbor or your cousin has one and you get their help in moving. There's no need to hire a "van" when you have a pickup truck. (For the Americans following along: "van" is euro-speak for a box truck, not what we would call a van.) Moving companies do exist here, but why pay a stranger to break your stuff when you can get your friend to do it for a few slices of pizza? Moving companies are mostly used by people who are moving long distance (your cousin Larry isn't likely to let you take his truck 2,000 miles away) OR wealthy people who have more money than friends. Another option is to simply rent a moving truck (aka a "van"). For somewhat more than the cost of a pizza, but less than the cost of hiring movers, you can rent a truck, pack it up yourself, and send your blood pressure into the stratosphere with a white knuckle drive across town, during which you pray that you don't take out any mailboxes with the monstrous thing.

Also, were the subtitles auto-generated? Because a lot of them weren't quite there...notably missing the phrase "load of jizz". And Kevin, if you want to become the RNG killer, I would think all you'd ever need to do is become a really sadistic DM, right? Just make all the enemies super OP and watch people die! But you probably already knew that. As with the previous eps, I really enjoyed this one! One of these days, I hope you find the perfect anime plot to fool Simon.

We tend to have larger homes than in the uk, and loads more stuff to fill them. 4 years ago after we retired from the army we moved cities. We are a family of 6. We didnt have extra furniture or cars, nothing overly heavy or fragile etc. and we were moving 1,000 miles. Our quotes for pickup, transport and delivery( no packing) started at $8000 and went up to $12,000. Adding in them helping pack and it went up about $1500. I helped my single aunt move 500miles and she had a 1bed apt. Having them pack, load, transport and deliver was still $5300! You can rent a moving truck and If you have friends and family help you pack and load it, then you drive it yourself you can get it for less than $1000.

In fact it's proven that your stuff is more likely to get broken when YOU move your own stuff, than when you hire a professional mover. Why? Because the moving company is financially responsible for those damages. They're a business, they REALLY don't want to pay that. Moving companies also have to have very special insurance for hauling household goods, and have to be approved by the FMCSA/USDOT to do so as well

IIRC the leading theory is that after he left the river and climbed the embankment, he tripped and fell into a culvert. He got back up, still slightly drunk and lightly concussed. Made it a bit further through a field where he passed out, and was unfortunately consumed by a combine. The reason there's never been a body found is because his tattered remains were swiftly consumed by the wildlife.
I thought it was so funny that Simon forgot he made a video on the monster with 21 faces. But then the joke was on me, because I got my multitude of true crime KZreadrs confused, and Simon has not actually covered that case yet lol 🙈🙈

Kevin thank you SO much for providing subtitles to the video clip at the beginning, makes it so much more fun when I understand WTF you are saying 😅 Bathing with your kids is pretty common in the U.K. too, but it tends to be either 2-3 kids together in the tub with an adult supervising, or a parent and a smaller child (often under 3). I believe in Japan is culturally common to bathe together as a family? It was also how we bathed when I was a kid too, parents went first, then a teen got a bath to themselves and finally the under 10s were put in together and supervised. Saved a lot of water, and kept the hassle of bathing everyone to a simple system one evening every other day (sometimes every 3 days) rather than an exhausting routine of dinner, baths and bed every night with lots of kids running around lol. I am so excited to watch another of these episodes!

Simon being very upper class in his understanding of moving. There's 3 stages of moving. "I'm new to being out on my own and renting fully furnished places with all the kitchen utensils and whatnot, I just need to move 3 boxes, a suitcase and my computer" "I have a bunch of boxes of stuff to move but I'm still not financially established and thus a friend with a pickup truck or a rent-a-van is a big help" "I have a ton of stuff including furniture and everything to move, but I'm financially established and thus can afford professional movers." Someone skipped step 2. Moving companies exist, but they're also expensive. Folks need to make a living doing this, and a friend who will give you a day in exchange for a $12 pizza is a hell of a lot cheaper than a moving man who needs a day's wage plus whatever the company's share of the profits are for that day.

To answer your question about moving companies in the US, Simon; yes, we have them, but they are really expensive. Most people would just get a U-Haul if they have a lot of stuff, but that’s just a trailer you can rent. You would still need to either pack everything yourself or alternatively get some friends or family to help you

You can get extra services from U-Haul like a driver and movers trust the U-Haul lesbian 😂 and it's still all pretty cheap it's just most people drive, so they rent a small truck themselves. My ex was a truck driver so of course that's what she wanted to do. My family hires teens which just feels a lot better than giving money to the company. We paid a few boys just hanging out in a park nearby to unpack our truck with us, gave em lunch and about $30 bucks each which is basically the rate for movers with a U-Haul. They were actually excited they went from having a flat basketball and doing nothing to free lunch and $30 extra at 15-17.

Even splurging on a company to move the big stuff… you’d still get friends to help you pack everything up and move the boxes, because if hiring a moving truck for a few hours is expensive, hiring a company to do the packing and spend the time to move everything is insane
Simon, we have pickup trucks in the US. Pickup trucks make up about 20% of all vehicles in the US. It varies depending on state, of course, with Wyoming coming it at the top with 37% of all vehicles being pickups. If you don't have a pickup truck, then your dad or your neighbor or your cousin has one and you get their help in moving. There's no need to hire a "van" when you have a pickup truck. (For the Americans following along: "van" is euro-speak for a box truck, not what we would call a van.) Moving companies do exist here, but why pay a stranger to break your stuff when you can get your friend to do it for a few slices of pizza? Moving companies are mostly used by people who are moving long distance (your cousin Larry isn't likely to let you take his truck 2,000 miles away) OR wealthy people who have more money than friends. Another option is to simply rent a moving truck (aka a "van"). For somewhat more than the cost of a pizza, but less than the cost of hiring movers, you can rent a truck, pack it up yourself, and send your blood pressure into the stratosphere with a white knuckle drive across town, during which you pray that you don't take out any mailboxes with the monstrous thing.

I know the proper response to Kevin's conclusions about the guy murdered in the bar by a shillelagh shank is to clutch my pearls, gasp, and utter: "oh my! Kevin-- you took that too far. . ." But. . . No. It was hilarious and couldn't have been more perfectly executed to troll Simon. Excellent work. I hope Fact Boy features more of Kevin's works in the Whistlverse.
I had heard about the first one from another youtube show, and I remember the second one because I distinctly remember someone saying that it was Benedict from Triangle Strategy (who would also totally be able to get away with a murder). Also, were the subtitles auto-generated? Because a lot of them weren't quite there...notably missing the phrase "load of jizz". And Kevin, if you want to become the RNG killer, I would think all you'd ever need to do is become a really sadistic DM, right? Just make all the enemies super OP and watch people die! But you probably already knew that. As with the previous eps, I really enjoyed this one! One of these days, I hope you find the perfect anime plot to fool Simon.

@@alyssinwilliams4570 lol I think he is only at 13 or maybe 14 with the new science Channel. But I wouldn't put it past him making another channel or 10😆 At this point it strictly a lack of writers on different subjects. I liked when he explored playing Papers please the game, his personality is hilarious!

"People going to work at midnight? That doesn't make any sense?" - Actually Simon. Jesus dude.
Love these real or fakes! Keep 'em up, fact boi!
Thank goodness for the subtitles!
Only 2 correct again for me! Simon is getting better as I just get worse! I will blame being tired, but I just had to watch this now! Good job with the stories Kevin and congrats to Simon for using his big brain! I look forward to the next exciting show!

"Too good to be fake", Simon here changing common wisdoms
We tend to have larger homes than in the uk, and loads more stuff to fill them. 4 years ago after we retired from the army we moved cities. We are a family of 6. We didnt have extra furniture or cars, nothing overly heavy or fragile etc. and we were moving 1,000 miles. Our quotes for pickup, transport and delivery( no packing) started at $8000 and went up to $12,000. Adding in them helping pack and it went up about $1500. I helped my single aunt move 500miles and she had a 1bed apt. Having them pack, load, transport and deliver was still $5300! You can rent a moving truck and If you have friends and family help you pack and load it, then you drive it yourself you can get it for less than $1000.
It's like Fact or Fiction, love it! ❤️
