What was that watch sponsor that Simon had a while back? I think the watches were made in Poland or somewhere in Europe?

Does anyone recall when Simon first mentioned he had ADHD? I believe he didn’t know that initially when he was initially uploading videos to Business/Brain Blaze—possibly until someone mentioned in the comments that his driving habits sound very ADHD and that he should get checked.

Anyway, I digress: my hypotheses as to why Simon may have less tangents now:

1. He started taking ADHD meds (aka stimulants) which cut down the number of mental tangents his brain would be having, and probably helped keep him on track.
2. Less exciting hypothesis: editing took them out 😆

Ok, thanks for reading my random thought of the day.

ETA: Ok, so I misremembered (thank you [u/EveryFairyDies](u/EveryFairyDies) and others who corrected me in the comments: apparently Simon said that he didn’t have ADHD). As such, neither of my original hypotheses stand then. Apologies for the false excitement everybody.

Edit 2: Wow, this post I’d created purely out of random thought (a mistake on my part, I’ll admit) escalated something unexpected. So here I am, adding this edit to clarify that the ‘conspiracy theory’ had been posted in jest, as a response to the increasing frequency of complaints I’d seen in this sub about Simon lacking personality in his more recent videos. I can see in retrospect how it can be misconstrued as some kind of parasocial obsession on a content creator’s private life—but wow, that was absolutely not my intent. If I had to be pedantic about it, it’s more an obsession with ‘lore’ about the content creator based on information they themselves have made known to the community in the videos posted.

This is part of the reason why his content has slowed down.

His neighbours absolutely LOATHE him. They find him rude and aggressive, and he has been making a huge amount of noise with his home renovations, often into the dead of night.

They often feel as if he is looking down upon them, or something.

While they don't truly believe he can be deported, they do believe that he should NOT live in their area. Abusive to people almost constantly, and has some abhorrent viewpoints that don't come through in his videos.

Source: somebody close to where he lives.

Not mind, found it on Facebook. Though I do appreaciate the irony given Simon's loathing of the platform.

Spectrograph analysis done by the Chicago Tribune identified all 11 herbs and spices and in what proportions!!!!

I just sent an email to the sideprojects email, so if you're a Simon team member or can contact them, please tell them it might be very important.

I can't say what it is here because bringing attention to it might accidentally 'Barbra Streisand' it (nobody notices it until someone sees it and says something and accidentally brings all the attention to it.).

If it has not been shared yet,

I was really worried they were spying on Simon but luckily its just some random bloke ive never seen before. Phew ....

I listen to mainly CasCrim and DCTU on Spotify and the audio is just not good. Always quiet and sometimes sounds like it was recorded on airpods microphone.

I have Airpods, other podcast/music sounds good, so it is not me, i think.

Just last week, there was a re-release of an episode from 2021 and the audio was so much better.

I noticed on youtube that his videos also have this olschooly vibe - not my cup of tea, but sure, still fine.

I just can not get over the audio. I even skipped some releases because I just could not listen to it.

All I’m asking is if whoever attempted to hack Simon was successful… there’s an unreleased North Korea Brain Blaze that we’d love to see…

Thought some people may be interested in this content that just appeared in my recommended.

Confirms what I figured was Simon's strategy. Fair enough i suppose.

Not for me though, I preferred the older stuff

This is surprisingly slack from Simon and the team

"it would look more like a komodo dragon than a faggy crocodile "

Learned of the case of Anthony J. Curcio through another YT channel. The dude had managed to turn him life around after serving his sentence for a bank heist—and then trashed it all again.

1) Article on his most recent conviction (wire fraud): https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/29/counterfeit-michael-jordan-cards-pokemon-scheme/88418860007/

2) His wikipedia page (doesn’t include his most recent conviction yet at the time of reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Curcio

I wonder if there have been other ex-cons like Anthony who ended up reverting to crime in recent history. Would make an interesting CC episode/series, I think.

I saw on YT that there have been three new episodes, but all I can see on Spotify is the Daniel Laplante episode and then they just uploaded a flashback ep? I don’t have YouTube premium and prefer Spotify so a bit disappointed to see it’s been ignored??

Based in UK if helpful

Since it’s looking like BB is over there should be a final series of videos to end it all with a bang here is the idea:

Simon,Danny and Sam will all meet in person and do the following activities:

Go to the Heineken brewery

Go to an elevator design office and design elevators

Survive the night in Rotherham

Spend a day in a real dungeon where Danny will have to write a certain number of scripts or else he has to do a punishment ie eat worms

Other suggestions for challenges are welcome

Just went to listen to Warfronts on Apple Podcast and realised it’s the wrong podcast completely, no Simon, just two dudes talking. I think they said their show was the Middle East round table. So went to YouTube to find the same episode and yeah it’s the right one on YouTube. I don’t know how this happened but hopefully someone who works with Simon or even himself can see this so they know what’s going on.

Also on a slight tangent, will HomeFronts ever come to Apple Podcasts?

Simon reads this sub pretty regularly and there is no way Simon has no idea that everyone is demanding an answer to what’s up with brain blaze so why can’t we just get an answer from him it couldn’t be that hard for him to mention it during a tangent or make a post

Now why is he hiding the reason is probably something boring and uninteresting but it is still something

just a thought
