The thing I love most, aside from your 20 channels, which I listen to all the time, (and have been since you only had, like, 3) is the fact that I can listen to them on my walks and not have watch them on KZbin, with the pictures, that are fun, but miss absolutely nothing in context. Excellent narration, and your asides 😂. I also like that you’re like me, “wait I need to look this up!”.

[@Greatblue56]

Recently rewatched The English Patient. Great film but the true story is much more involved. Thank you!

[@misledprops]

With a life like that, why the hell did they appropriate the most boring section of it in the movie?!

[@iteerrex8166]

The thumbnail looks like Voldemort.

[@TheKulu42]

That's who I thought it was at first. Voldemort was based on a real person who had really bad plastic surgery? I thought. Poor guy!

[@allisonperry7645]

Same actor plays both

[@jc6800]

That's Whistlermort..

[@PrismaticTentacle]

Yes. Yes it does.

[@barrydysert2974]

​@@jc6800Excellent 🤣

[@Zeldaschampion]

Looks like Voldermort was a real busy guy before he took on Harry Potter.

The film received twelve nominations at the 69th Academy Awards, winning nine, including Best Picture, Best Director for Anthony Minghella, and Best Supporting Actress for Juliette Binoche. It was also the first to receive a Best Editing Oscar for digitally edited film. Ralph Fiennes, playing the titular character, Kristine Scott Thomas were Oscar nominated for their performances. The film also won five BAFTA Awards and two Golden Globes.

Gilf premiere means an entirely different thing in American.

[@padawanmage71]

I guess Tom Riddle drove around before being found by Dumbledore.

[@susanmolnar9606]

I always enjoyed The English Patient but as myself being half Hungarian I knew the true story. But that doesn’t take away from a movie that never stated true story.

[@jazdragen]

I wish more movies would avoid putting "based on a true story" when the story bears no resemblance to the film plot

[@homer3716]

Mustaches were insane back in the day and not in a good way

[@mastafoo886]

@20:55 wow thats quite the funny sounding name for an erotic dancer

[@thom-bennett-tailoring]

🤣

[@olovlundstedt507]

Im glad i was not the only one who caught that! 😂

[@Greatblue56]

Yup. Same. When he kept saying it, it got funnier each time.

[@curtislindsey1736]

I was like wait, did I hear that correctly?!😂😂😂

[@RonNieminen-z6h]

Well the names candy and jade where already taken

[@katherinecollins4685]

Fantastic video

[@JimCliffe]

Please!! 'Onda-che'. Not 'Ondatee'. Otherwise, very interesting. I was impressed with Fitzroy McClean's stories of the Long Range Desert Group in his book Eastern Approaches. It's fascinating to hear it mentioned again.

[@danelcutler6467]

That was a beautiful movie

[@homer3716]

Meh

[@ALA9E]

Woah what a life of adventure, my worse nightmare

[@rickwilliams967]

The Voldemort face was a nice touch 😂

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

Wonderful introduction

[@CarlBranco]

nice job

[@alij7047]

Thanks!

[@TodayIFoundOut]

Thanks! :-) -Daven

[@ayejayuu49]

There's an interesting subject for a video there about an admiral in a now land-locked country

[@martonpasztory3722]

Simon's famously bad pronunciation of foreign names couldn't be worse this time... I' m not sure if he got a single syllable right...😅

[@DECKTRON5001]

Who keeps giving this guy access to aircraft?

[@kwilloniad7447]

Pronunciation of Ondaajte is OnDatchay.

[@OmnivorousReader]

Very interesting... and now I kind of want to read The English Patient.

[@sydneyslaughter7163]

Dude was on his own side. I respect that

[@iveBENwatchin]

Where’s the bloopers with that belly dancers name

[@charlesplante]

5:50 7:44 7:53 8:34 GILF

[@charlesplante]

9:08 12:09 bonus GILF's

[@EclecticLensYT]

Woohoo! The audio sounds great!! 😉

[@benjamingrunbaum3601]

Gy in Hungarian is always pronounced like a J. So Gyorgy should sound just like the English name George. (More or less)

[@alianna0130]

My mom told me we were related to Rummle who apparently was the right hand of the desert fox dunno how true that is.

[@BognaZone]

ROMMEL. Yes, "the desert fox"

[@adamhawes2360]

Why is Voldemort driving that Jeep?

[@mattfaucz4599]

umm excuse me...what was the belly dancers name?

[@ayejayuu49]

He was a bit of a slacker then?

[@HandyMan657]

What was that belly dancer's name again?

[@ALA9E]

Alot of tongue twisters😂

[@calebbrown6735]

I hear minecraft music 21:50

[@heatherjones6647]

On datch ee = Ondaatje

[@padawanmage71]

I guess Tom Riddle drove around before being found by Dumbledore....

[@mwolkove]

I like to imagine that guy introducing himself and the other person saying "you'll never believe this!"

[@djtigerstripes]

These pronunciations of Hungarian names are hilarious.

[@Crimsonacer92]

Hey man Fak me ?😂

[@stancil83]

I'm sorry I just can't. I gave it a try. But I just keep zoning out. I could swear I watched this movie, I just don't remember any of it. So this is not your fault Simon. You could probably bore a hole through Earth with this story. I'm pretty dumb anyways. Voldemort brought me here.

[@WahRizz]

Same im too high

[@_PITBOY]

How many ways can you mispronounce the author of this book. Almost every Canadian ... just knows how to say it. Michael Ondaatje - as in phonetically - On-dot-chee-ay Most ...including him, usually say it quickly as On-dotch-ee

[@Torskel]

All these stupid AI thumbnails..

[@RobertKohari]

OMG ... that butchered name ...

[@gertjevanpoppel7270]

I really like your videos simon and they are a refreshment for all off these 💩 A.I. videos 😀... If i can make a suggestion , please concentrate on a few channels simon. Quality is more important than quantity 😀.

[@felbarashla]

Do you think he is not doing a good job as host? He doesn’t research or write these scripts. He reads what they write for him and he sends it to an editor so it looks and sounds good. He is mostly the management.

[@itarry4]

Yhea he could easily manage another couple of channels. He reads scripts and organises getting them written, etc not write them himself and it wouldn't matter how many he did as the quality wouldn't suffer at all. I'm hoping he does a nature one like places but with Animals, plants, etc.

[@auro1986]

you are all patient

[@marksaxby607]

Porsche wasn't a car company until well after WW2, so he wasn't working for them between the wars...

[@martonpasztory3722]

Porsche was founded in 1931, they were building tanks for Germany during the war... There was even a Porsche Tiger I prototype.

[@SpectrumofSmarts]

Sumin this video is boring for one of yours. Its very dry and historical
