I will never forget the episode of a show Simon did when V-sauce Michael appeared in his chair, laughing maniacally. 😂

I have been watching Simon for so long it’s like listening to an energetic teacher/ old friend tell me interesting & obscure stories. Thank you for airing these old episodes again. It’s unlikely I would go look for them but having them pop up in my feed is a nice surprise.

My high school science teacher used to do a demonstration with slinkies. He told us a story that he used to ask a student each year to bring one in for the demonstration. One year one of his students volunteered and brought in a box of hundreds of slinkies. Turns out that student was the grandson of Richard T. James, and his garage at home was full of them.

46:40 Being familiar with the Pippi books from childhood, I knew this was the true story behind Pippi's father right away.

55:22 Agh! What the heck?! You gotta warn a guy before you switch out our beloved Simon.

5:05 I would 100% pay that just to have something so old. That sounds like a steal for a collector (obviously it’s not if you’re using it for commercial purposes). I’m a nerd for that sort of thing though.

You already did this video 8 years ago. I was a Janitor overnight as a 2nd job going to UCF. Since then, Ive loved and lost, and am an entirely different person.

“You never had a single toy as a child?”. “ I did have a slinky but I straightened it”

today I found out if I ever went to a gathering of any kind and you were there, I would leave immediately.

I absolutely can't listen to another instance of that guy mispronouncing 'nuclear.'

6:37 Bonus, Bonus fact- I once missed the “Y” on “slinky” when trying to order one for my niece. On that day I discovered a totally different, more disturbing kind of toy. The more you know.
