Yes, Simon. The moving thing is done in America. We recruit friends and family because hiring a moving company is very expensive. Also, some people don't trust strangers with their stuff.

[@ridethroughlifertl]

Yeah, if you want to pay several hundred dollars to have some of your stuff broken, that's when you hire a moving company.

[@OkieOtaku]

@@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

[@aquablaster86]

Fact boi has it made! Never had to move your own sh!t from one place to the next?? And as far as why I wouldn't hire a moving company to do it is because that would cost several hundred, more likely over a thousand dollars, or i can call up 2 of my friends on a Saturday morning and it only costs me a case of beer and some 🍕. MUCH cheaper

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!

[@terryenby2304]

My guesses:1 plausible? im not 100% sure, but I know enough to think it could be? ✅ 2 yeah this one feels too good a story.

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.

[@christiangauthier727]

LOVE KEVIN'S VIDEOS WHERE HE TAKES THE "SERIAL KILLER" LOOK, TONE AND PERSONA, AND CHALLENGES SIMON! It's freaking EPIC! The voice changer is the icing on the cake, it always gives me chills!

[@ComedorDelrico]

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.

[@DILFDylF]

Last part is super accurate, legit felt like I had a panic attack driving the damn thing

[@PigeonLord]

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

[@ollieb9875]

Or Penske and drive it under a low bridge right 😂

[@foxhoundp9949]

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.

A good buddy with a pickup usually works for a 12-pack & some Wendy's.... moving companies do NOT.

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.

You know, when it comes to the ethics of using genetic testing services like Ancestry or 23andMe, I feel REALLY torn.

He’s never killed or SA’d anyone, and came from a home of horrific abuse, to a foster home of horrific abuse, to fending for himself at 16. Everything he did, he did just to get by, and I’d be SO pissed if any genetic material I turned in for testing got him arrested.

On the topic of moving, yes, we have moving companies in America, but many people choose to move themselves rather than hiring someone else to do it (which can get rather expensive if you have a lot of stuff to move). We have companies like U-Haul where you can rent a moving van (or trailer, etc.) to move things yourself, and of course when moving large furniture it certainly helps if you have some friends to help out. I guess it's an American thing, as many Americans are more inclined to do things themselves rather than hiring other people to do things for them.

I joined an online show called “bored factory workers”(Even tho the only time I worked inside a factory was to do catering for them) and one of the three hosts fakes his death in a video. We filmed three videos that day. Two gross food challenges and the fake death. He foamed at the mouth using antacids and I even gave him advice on how seizure activity looked. They played it out for a week and then finally came forward and admitted that he was still alive. All of their fan base snapped and went nuts. It was the end of bored factory workers. It was over. It was done. No more food challenges or drinking competitions. A lot less puking.

I love these episodes so much.

[@codybennett8516]

I absolutely love this format! I hope Kevin and you keep doing them! This one stumped me a few times.

[@stevenotto1456]

Love these real or fakes! Keep 'em up, fact boi!

[@jeromesullivan4015]

I’m sober enough to get one or two, bring it on!

[@cradleofgoth]

My favorite series on youtube!

[@ThatWriterKevin]

Thanks!

[@cradleofgoth]

@@ThatWriterKevin I want more, but I realize it's quite difficult to find stuff Simon hasn't heard of or come up with convincing mysteries. Love your writing!

[@ThatWriterKevin]

@@cradleofgoth Thanks!

3rd shift is about 11 PM to 7 or 8 am. Factories and service workers or what was considered essential workers work "shift work " 24 hr schedules.

Simon… my man, you gotta understand, America is a BIG place. If you drove nonstop straight from Texarkana, a city in eastern Texas to El Paso, a city in western Texas, it would take twelve hours. You can find moving companies that will have movers load and drive your stuff, sure, but it’s far more common to just rent a truck and do it yourself.

Love this series

[@ThatWriterKevin]

Thanks!

[@siggy6044]

Good news, there's plenty more of these coming if Kevin intends to take the lead!

[@Shicksalblume]

Got 5/5. It helped that I already knew the two true stories as I'd heard them many times before. As for the Tylenol tampering, it was an attempt to hide one murder among many. Make it look like a wider product tampering issue in the hope of getting away with the murder the tamperer wanted to get away with. As I recall, it didn't work.

Brothers Josh Strife Hayes, Kira and Callum Upton, we must welcome Brother Kevin to the Shadow Cabal. The plan to trap Simon in the basement is coming along accordingly.

[@Techgnome21]

I feel so bad for Brandon's parents. I can't imagine never knowing what happened to you child.

[@Charles-js3ri]

Ooh fake or real!!! I love it. I started using them at parties. More of these. I actually remember the last one happening.

[@PalmelaHanderson]

Funny story about drinking and driving (not *really* funny, don't drink and drive, kids. Cars are 2-ton murder bots that shouldn't be trifled with when you can't even walk straight): An old mate of mine got sloshed one night and drove home. He was living at his brother's house at the time and borrowing his brother's car. He ran into a street lamp on the way home, basically totalling the car. No one was hurt. He did a runner and left the car, walking the rest of the way home. When police eventually showed up at the house, they found my friend drunk as hell, but they couldn't charge him with a DUI because he said he got drunk after the accident. He just got charged with a hit and run (which is only a misdemeanor if no one was hurt) and fined for damaging public property

16:00 And now you're a TV presenter on the internet!

[@forgeworldobsidian9774]

Absolutely love this little series.

[@sarahtoegel1982]

I really enjoy these types of videos by Kevin, he's got a great imagination and makes it fun trying to pick up on clues to determine if it is true or not.. please make more like these in the future guys, thanks!!! Love all of your channels as well, Simon!! I look forward to seeing your videos daily, they're the highlight of my day 😊

"Hey, Trainspotting, can you dial that modulator down a skoosh?"

[@dfuher968]
