No one: Dave: 😎👨‍🦯 Simon: Have I mentioned Dave is blind?

“-and I can still only do it 75% of the time.” 😂 Dave is such a legend.

About braille in a lift: Even as a blind person, you need to interact with the control panel at some point anyway, except someone else is present to do it for you. So braille in a lift is always helpful

The two rules of bar fights (allegedly): 1. Don't use your fists until your feet are bleeding 2. Don't use your feet until your chair is knackered

My single biggest pet peeve is when movies think rural America still lives in the early to mid 1900's! We do in fact have electricity, internet, knowledge of pop culture, & bathrooms in the house.

I still can't get over Kevin comparing Simon wearing glasses he no longer needs, to fit with an image of intelligence, with the Twitch streamer who no longer needed his wheelchair, continuing to use it on stream. That was fantastic.

My biggest issue with guns in movies is how often characters will unnecessarily rack shotguns, for no reason other than the sound. You know you're ejecting shells when you do that....

"Just look right and left, then cross." While talking about a blind man, {Sighs.} I'm glad I could not see the smug look I heard in his voice. LOL.

In Terminator 2, John is CONSTANTLY reloading weapons in the back seat and handing them up front.

Man, I remember the old name. Good times.

As someone that's had a chair blindly cracked over their head in a bar, I can confirm the chair does not break.

A few years back I heard the term "Doris Day parking" because unlike the rest of us, movies/shows with Doris Day showed her pulling up and parking right by the front door of wherever she was going. I'm glad Dave put it on the list.

As an American, I like to quote the Onion on gun control when referencing how it is achieved in other countries “‘No way to prevent this,’ says only nation where this regularly happens.”

Braille on the keys of a vending machine is probably one of the weirder things i've noticed. So you know you're purchasing C7 while having no idea what item is in C7.

From a former smoker to a soon-to-be former smoker, you can do it, Dave! We have faith in you. It won't be fun, but it will be worth it in the long run.

As someone who is also visually impaired… I always appreciate when Dave says something that I have been thinking for decades! 6:08

As an Australian if you mention the near total eradication of gun violence here with our national gun ban to an American you will be treated to a lecture about how that couldn't possibly work (it did), how Australia has way more knife violence than the US (it doesn't) and how the population make up is very very different (it is actually remarkably similar).

My dad literally pauses movies to see what kind of gun is being used, what gun they replaced it with during a quick scene change or action sequence, and if they are firing when the slide is locked back. 'Merica.

we need a "everything Simon keeps getting wrong about guns video" but it would have to be a three-parter lol

1:50 - Chapter 1 - Blind people 2:00 - Mid roll ads 3:15 - Back to the video 8:55 - Chapter 2 - Bar fights 12:50 - Chapter 3 - Guns 17:05 - Chapter 4 - Parking

I live across the street from a building where they teach visually impaired people (and people who are going to go on to teach other people, who go out in big-ass light blocking foam masks like they're taking a virtual reality tour that makes the neighborhood look much more interesting), and the only person who clacks his cane is the guy in charge. He lives a few blocks away and walks to work. I assume he is letting us all know he's coming, and we'd best get out of his way. We do.

On jay-walking - A lot of Aussies get confused by US laws on this because of movies and don't know that as long as you're not with 20m of an cross walk and take the shortest route to cross, you are legally allowed to cross the road anywhere.

on an American driving test, prior to getting licensed, you have to take a written knowledge test. One of the questions poses the question "How do you identify a visually impaired pedestrian?" Me, being detail focused, among being mildly autistic, thought what wound up being the correct answer was awfully presumptuous. "You can identify a visually impaired person by their white cane with red stripe". how do they know its white with a red end if they're blind? I got this one wrong multiple times

Wait! We want to hear the story about inmates heads ripped off by giant robotic arms! You can't play that in the background (at 7:48) and then fail to explain it. The braille buttons in a lift are always on one side of the door or the other, making the control panel easy to find while blind.

An old school Business Blaze style video by Danny, Sam and Simon wouldn't go amiss. Space heater, script slapping, a tribute to the OG Blaze, am I right Peter?

I remember a scene from Herbie Fully Loaded where the movie zooms in on the front of the 1963 Volkswagen Beetle and shows an effect of the engine revving up. Not sure if it was done for the sake of creative license or because zooming into the rear of a Bug and showing an engine would confuse people who are not into cars but it was still funny to me.

As well as the impossible parking space whenever anyone gets out of a car in a movie they just slam the door shut. They never lock their car and yet the car never gets stolen.

The cost of parking spaces makes me so mad. I once knew someone who was paid less per hour than customers were charged to park next to the shop where he worked. A literal parking space earned more than him

Not that anybody probably remembers this show, but there was a 90s drama on CBS set in Chicago called Early Edition and the main character's parking difficulties were something of a recurring plot point. He was always literally running around the city to save people's lives because taking a car was just not feasible.

The writing advice "the hero never takes a sh*t" is to help avoid bogging the story down with unnecessary details (and to avoid horrible creative decisions) but reloading can help create *tension*, and that *should* be used.

Even in all the Deadpool movies, including Deadpool and Wolverine they show Deadpool reloading even if in a "Hollywood" way. There's no infinite ammo. I mean, we all saw what he could do with 12 bullets. lol

You do hear some people in the US who are critical of the lack of guns in the UK and correlate it with higher numbers for other crimes.

12:02 Ah, yes. The ol' Portsmouth Handshake. Gets 'em every time.

The real point of suppressors is to help prevent hearing loss. Suppressors are great for subsonic ammo, like .300 blackout. Supersonic ammo is still really loud, but quieter than without a suppressor. The reason suppressors are NFA items is to make money for the ATF. Full auto items are also NFA items, but the idea that its to keep people safer is not really true, because full auto makes it less likely a shooter will hit anything.

*BLAZE ME BABY* 🎉

Guns never being loud enough is always my biggest gripe with most movies because unlike other troupes, having gunshot being deafeningly loud and shock the audience to their hearts actually enhances the emotional impact of the movie, which should be a win-win for realism and excitement.

The one that always gets me is using a defibrillator (or any other electrical device) to jump-start a heart that has stopped beating. That's not how those things work.

About the parking... it's not really a movie, but an episode of "Kim Possible" made fun of that at length :D

8:41 Yes that's useful because it's not hard to find that panel, it's right beside the door, and if it's not on the side you check first, you just go to the other side. although often I find the large raised print numbers quicker to identify.

My biggest pet peeve with how guns are shown in movies is how shotguns blow a single foot wide hole through anything from walls to tree trunks. Shotguns shoot pellets or a slug, they dont make 1 giant hole. They either make 1 hole thats slightly larger than most bullet holes or sevel really small holes.

Dave should be made the president of the World Blind Union.

I count rounds fired and how long people are under water in movies. My husband thinks I'm weird

Dave's dad gun jokes are [chef's kiss]

15:06 Alec Baldwin disagrees. 😉

I park in the handicapped spot, then put on my sunglasses and take out my tapping cane, and walk in to the shop. 😎

Parking outside of a building in London is one thing, but another thing the movies never show is the sitting in stationary traffic for hours trying to get to the building to park in front of in the first place.

Holy moly! A reference to The Expanse in the wild!

Winkles! Goes well with the famous AM knuckle sandwich. You can cut the crusts off, if you're feeling posh.

Movie makers usually don’t know bugger all about guns.

I’m an Australian and I’ve had several Americans tell me that Australia is a dangerous place because of our lack of guns.

Your sponsored ad for Incogni was interrupted by a pop up ad for Nord VPN

Hi Dave and sightlings: I was taught in elementary school (we started cane training at 4), to use the touch point (tapping) method for outdoors, particularly walking the crowded sidewalks around school. It alerted others to our presence and we were especially taught to use it as echo location in parking lots and such. As an adult, I only use it for echo location. Also, for crowds, we were taught the modified grip, where you move your hand down below the grip of the cane and hold it close to your body because of the cluttered area. You can't do touch point that way.

If Dave can say that he watched these movies, I can say that I've read an audio book, right?

Oh my God is Dave blind?

Mythbusters tested silencers/suppresors and they were surprised at how well they actually worked.

Wait so this blind writer is a habitual barfighter?!

I like the Stonehenge roof joke.

Simon: I just read the prompter, I don't retain any of the information I'm reading. Dave: I'm blind. Simon, literally seconds later: Did you know Dave is blind!?

As an American I would say don't trust drivers to give you the right of way if you are blind or disabled in any way. Some people are will stop but don't take the risk.

"Guns don't go off accidentally" There's an FBI agent in a Denver night club that disagrees. 🤣

Hang in there, Dave, and kick that habit like a Canadian baby.

There is a term for getting a parking space right at your destination: Kojacking, after the TV detective who always pulled up to a seemingly reserved space.

The first topic about blind people using canes as funny to me because I just rewatched watched "Scent of a woman" this week.. Classic Al Pacino

To be fair, If you ask for a beer without specification here in the Netherlands you would get the standard lager.

1. Defibrillators are for those that still have a pulse. 2. Police do not put chalk outlines around bodies. Sometimes it happens and those people are called chalk fairies. 3. Firearms sound different for a variety of reasons. 4. A fighter pilot's mask stays on. The mask also contains the radio. 5. Most gun fights in the wild west were ambushes and not duels. 6. For artillery, it's the flash, the incoming sound and then the explosion. 7. Air burst artillery have been around since Napoleon. It's even mentioned in the U.S. National Anthem. It's rarely shown in movies, but was the most common way to suppress infantry. 8. Modern warfare is usually fought beyond visual range. The end fight in the first Top Gun would not have happened. Military vehicles would be nowhere near the giant monsters such as Godzilla. 9. In Hollywood, there is very little learning and too much free time in schools. 10. There are too many doctors in teams in these doctor shows. These doctors would be booked months in advance with their own patients. Having more than two doctors at a time talking about the same patient is unrealistic.

Why did simon just brush over dave being a participant in a bar fight ? Like how did that go down, did someone attack dave or did dave start the fight 😂😂

13:19 generally as an average American we don't know and don't care about what's happening in other countries. Unless that country happens to have oil, then according to the government and media, we care a whole lot if that country has "democracy".

I am going to have to do a well actually here but in Japan yes, you can and do just walk into a place and ask for a beer, because often they only have a single beer.

This might not be the best opinion for optimizing BB for the RU-vid algo. But I miss the days of 40 minute or longer Business Blaze episodes. OGBB FTW.

We actually figured out a woman was stealing at my job due to her usage of her cane. She claimed total blindness and would half the time come shopping solo, tapping around the store and asking people for help. That was fine, she rarely walked into things and employees were friendly. One day she was spotted in the cosmetics section, cane resting on her cart.. picking stuff, looking in the mirror and pocketing it. We figured maybe she had some slight sight but paid more attention. She left the store and found her way to the bus for the disabled tab comes, with her shopping cart and no cane. There’s anti-car ramming pillars, cars in the fire lane, constant people and vehicle traffic. Every past time she’d navigated to her ride with her cane, sorta dragging the cart. Next time we paid more attention. She has some degree of sight loss, but managed this entire trip solo, even putting the cane in her cart at times. Our store is busy, and she wasn’t asking people for help. She pocketed cosmetics, and some other random stuff into her purse. Blind or not, you know when you’re doing it. This time she was caught. She claimed she thought she was putting the items back. The cameras showed totally otherwise.it was a large bag, she’d also put some expensive candy bars in there. (Our security team is all male, I was the female chosen to be in the room with while she was spoken to)

On the firing lots of rounds through a machine gun: Due to an inventory error my unit in Afghanistan ended up with a shipping container full of past its best linked 5.56, 7.62 and m19 grenades. Trying to explain why we had it would have involved more explaining than anyone wanted to do so we took it to the range and "trained". This involved lighting off ammo until the barrels turned red. I can report that neither the m249 nor the m240 malfunctioned or suffered any ill effects.

Doc Holliday also fires 3 shorts from a double barrel

The most bizarre braille sign I've ever seen is labels in the lavoratory on a plane. Like anyone's gonna be in there groping the walls in case there's information, like, "Here's the sink."

Watch the John Wick movies. Keanu Reeves is a stickler for realism and if you are paying attention, he reloads ‘exactly’ after the last round is fired as in real life; i.e. if the magazine has a capacity of 30 rounds he will eject said magazine after firing 30 rounds and reload. Legend 😊

i don't know why but the skyrim bit about dave being blind was so much funnier than it should be, maybe it's because dave mentioned he was blind like 5 seconds before simon said "dave is blind"

A whole video could be done about the ways Hollywood wrongly depicts mental illnesses.

The clever thing about a gun fitted with a silencer in films is that the victim always also dies silently and immediately. No one ever gets wounded by a gun with a silencer or shouts out in pain

When I was 5 my mother took me to a live wild west show. In the show two cowboys were fighting and one smashed a break-a-way chair over the other's head, a piece of that chair flew into the audience and struck me between my eyes the theater manager took me to the hospital in his car I passed in and out of consciousness. This was in 1962, and I still have a scar

13:33 they absolutely do. The amount of times I've seen an American unironically say that the UK would have less knife crime if they had guns...

Movie makers have never understood how newspaper headlines are written to neatly fill the space across multiple columns. This mistake has been going on for about a century already and it drives me crazy.

On my first time driving through Manhattan, it took me THREE HOURS to park in front of the hotel because I couldn't get over and to a spot, then had to follow the one-way traffic around and try again.

Dave! This past week there was a chance I was going to end up mostly blind. At least I was scared it was going to happen, because I have lost most of the vision in one eye already from my MS. But all of the information you have shared about your life did help me freak out a little bit less lol. My good eye should be ok though, as long as no infection happens.

Re: parking. Our hero always stops like half a mile from wherever...

A " blind " lady put her " seeing eye dog" in the cart while shopping at Walmart. Bark once for left, twice for stop, or something

"Oh, I see!" I get it. I "see" what you did there. ("See" what I did there?)

One of the most entertaining and possibly realistic seeming use of a bottle in a fight was from the Punisher video short named "Laundry Day" with Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman.

Life hack, park in a disabled bay and flip out a white cane as you open the car door.

J-walking is illegal where I live. Everyone does it anyway. I once stopped a friend from doing it in front of a cop. She asked the cop if she would find her for j-walking 🤦‍♀️

The weirdest use of braille I've seen in real life is on the buttons of a _drive-thru_ automated teller machine. Are they expecting someone blind to drive up to the machine?

2:00 That placement of the "We know" bit from Nancy Drew made me laugh out loud. And I really needed to laugh.

I'm always dumbfounded when in movies they're driving a manual car and make shift changes at 100 miles per hour.

Another cane myth, not directly associated with being blind, is that having one means you're disabled and have some notable problem walking. I have a cane, but rarely use it because sometimes my balance decides to go loopy and I would rather not nosedive into the pavement. Most people seeing me would never see any sign I was disabled though

The worst offender for "stupid about guns" is "Ant Man". They had a scene where a gun is kept from firing by blocking the hammer. They used a Glock for that scene. Glocks don't have a hammer. So instead of using any other gun they went and spent a fortune to CGI-add an external hammer onto a Glock.

Perfect use of the clip with known liar Todd Howard saying "this just works"!

Simon seriously forgot he told us Dave is blind less than a minute earlier

Dave's blind??? Why has this never been mentioned in previous videos?!?!? ;-)

The ordering Beer in a bar and getting one with no further questions! It actually happened to me once! "Beer, please." *Beer appears."

Blaze time!!!!

Simon, no, you *are* supposed to slam the magazine in to reload it, at least once you have it lined up and started. That's so you can be confident the magazine release caught and so it won't fall out.
