Simon’s existential crisis every time he attempts to pronounce foreign words never fail to entertain and a part of me wants him to examine a case from my country Iceland just to see him have an aneurism. We rarely experience crimes such as murder and the two most high profile cases changed us as a nation - the Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case, an unsolved disappearance in the 70s which was rife with mishandling by our law enforcement, and the murder of Birna Brjánsdóttir in 2017 which devastated us as a nation (we were similar in age and i still remember how the entire country united in the search for her)

[@asapjasa4984]

@@havenward yes he was a part of the case (though I have yet to watch out of thin air) but our police severly mismanaged this case and forced confession by torture (not the gory kind but severe sleep deprivation and long term isolation and a dash of that good ol’ gaslighting) so I would be really interested to hear Simon’s and the writer’s take on the case

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2380">39:40</a> Simon's talking about Alex Honnold's "Free Solo". It's a great watch and despite Simon's take on it, the movie goes into detail about Alex's mental state more than just that visit to the doctor. From my understanding, Alex has been climbing since he was a youngling... so he's been doing it for 30 years or so. Not only has he been doing it for a long time, he's done increasingly more difficult climbs throughout the years. His golden rule is if he doesn't have the confidence, or he's just "not feeling it" he'll call off a climb. In the case of El Cap, he practiced and practiced and practiced it over and over with gear and built up his confidence to attempt it without safety pre-cautions. He had every move he had to make written down and studied it for years to build up his confidence. He even went over the entire route, literally inch by inch, cleaning and removing any debris, soil, & plants so he could minimize accidents. He had actually aborted attempt the day before on account of it not feeling quite right. His fear is inversely proportional to his experience, the amount of preparation and the practice he puts in - there's little left to fear when the only feeling you have is "I know I've got this in the bag". It's a misconception to think that he doesn't feel fear like it's a "superpower" - it's just that he has tempered himself, learning to minimize it and/or to let the fear pass. It's not much different than people who can handle horror movies, gore, swearing, or dark humour (to name a few examples)... some people just get a stomach for it after a while and it doesn't bother them. I would hazard a guess that Alex Honnold would have roughly the same amount of fear jumping out of a plane that any other person would have because he would be so out of his comfort zone of rocks under his feet.

[@henriroggeman7267]

I have a suggestion for a Casual Criminalist or Decoding The Unknown episode: the unsolved crimes of the Nivelles Gang (Bende Van Nijvel) in Belgium between 1982 and 1985. The perpetrators committed a series of holdups of Delhaize supermarkets and killed 28 people and wounded 40. Like in the White Uno Gang case, suspicion also fell onto the military and what in those days was called something like the National Guard (they don't exist any more). They are also associated with Gladio, I think. Check it out. Damn. You came up with it yourself at the end of the eposode. :-) But it could still be worth it.

"I have a FEW other channels" Understatement of the year so far by the 'Infamous Fact-Boi' 😂 Really liking this diversity with the different writers scripting for this channel.

Really cool to see how different people approach True Crime, especially for those who don't usually cover it 👌🏼 Would love to see you putting out 2 episodes a week on here, even if one is a shorter sub -15mins midweek episode. I watch a LOT of true crime channels and podcasts and really appreciate the more laid back 'casual' presentation style and how even with such depressing cases you are able to inject your personality and make them so much easier to digest and find entertaining.

About Free Solo, Alex Honnold definitely can feel fear it's just he tolerates it. Imagine walking up a tall staircase, you know you're getting high but you're not afraid of falling because you know you can execute the climb. Now replace the stairs with vertical ladders, after that thought experiment scale it up step by step (pun intended). Honnold is at his own league in terms of scaling this but in his mind he's not taking much risks. Climbing dangerous things is not about adrenal rush at all, it's about doing something you know perfectly well you can do and the risk of falling just adds an extra level of focus and commitment.

This group was without a doubt monsters . Couldn't just stick to stealing they had to murder as well needlessly. Murder is always needlessly .

Jen your memes are amazing!!! Love your editing. I’m 7 mins in and have laughed so many times already!!!! Simon great job as usual and the script is great. Exciting story so far!!! I’m glad you gave the “new” writer a chance on this channel!!!

[@duncanbrock7303]

About halfway through really digging his writing definitely needs to make a repeat.

[@christopherengel7436]

Hey great job as always Jen. You did okay too Factboy. I know you're rotating writers but they're all bringing there "A" games. Really great job Arnaldo and a nice interesting choice of a case.

[@tonibarrone854]

Finally!! Been waiting for ever for this. I like the long videos.

[@firelight09]

The Golden State Killer is a good example of criminals who commit crime covered by different police districts who don't communicate. 😬 A serial rapist in one area and a serial killer in a neighboring area. Scary stuff.

[@marshmllodragon]

When I first followed "when I found out" a few years ago, Simon seemed so serious and informative. I really enjoyed that, but I really love to see more of his personality. I enjoy the rambling rants and the humor these days. Keep up with the great content on all of your channels!

[@crittermama]

I like lost if your other channels, but I am addicted to this one. I have even started watching true crime shows on TV. My hubby will be in the living room watching The Great British Baking Show and having a beer and I'll be in the bedroom with the cats doing a cup of tea watching serial killers. We're a pair.

On the topic of doing extreme things for adrenaline, a lot of us ADHD folks are like that. Some of us are just understimulated at all times and we end up doing incredibly dangerous things without even considering the risk. As a child, I convinced my brother to try and steal a forklift truck and I rode on the front of it while he drove it... straight into a wall. I somehow came out unscathed there, but most of my ridiculous childhood escapades did not end like that considering the dyspraxia. There's some twisted luck in my nerve problems not allowing me to do stupid stuff as an adult, like climbing on top of Lidl and promptly falling off.

[@dascorncakes1151]

yep, ADHD, summersalted backwards down 2 flights of stairs because I was bored, it hurt and I had carpet burn for weeks. I was like 7

[@johnmarston3185]

Should hv filmed that forklift thing mate thats some jackass shit 🤣

[@Bohemain0518]

The original song was sung by Simon and garfunkel, "hazy shade of winter." In NJ, we had tickets, and each toll booth had a collector.

[@Graveyard94]

Much like the expression for only ever being so many feet away from a rat, you’re never more than a few recommendations away from one of Simon’s channels 😂 thankfully all his content is very informative or entertaining

[@jasonliston5467]

I super love this channel. Stranger than fiction facts and dark humor is so entertaining! You and your team keep up the good work

[@kathrynkramer8345]

Oh, come on Simon: a 17 year old boy “riding” a Starlet?!

[@ComedorDelrico]

I hear he went "downtown" with that Starlet.

[@genevielamb1903]

Arnoldo rocks. Very vivid descriptions! Loved it all!

[@terryenby2304]

I love hearing your inside jokes!! I also think mild annoyance is essential for a healthy relationship lol

[@miaceria2531]

Jen is fantastic! The taken scene cut to Michael from the office is amazing!! She's the reason I won't switch to the podcast version

[@andiemay8410]

Amazing script, love this writer and so nice to learn about a crime I hadn't heard of before!! Keep it up CC Team!!

[@teodorapetkovic]

Arnaldo feels like a trickster god, with all that painting the scene only to crash it down for a joke. Welcome to the roast-er of Casual Criminalist!!!

[@BleedingBasco]

I am perfectly okay with 23 pages, because i just have to enjoy it. I love the hard work you all do.

[@charlotteb6450]

this one was really enjoyable, thanks simon, arnaldo and jen!

[@snooapples]

YES. FINALLY. I AM SO EXCITED. My very quirky, very anxious dog is at the groomer for the first time after a very bad experience last year. This is the perfect distraction from worrying about my dog 😂

Enjoyed arnaldo's writing just as much on this channel!

[@AnyoneCanSee]

I listen to this podcast when I go on walks for exercise. As I cannot say how much I love them I found you on KZbin to tell you. Everything is pretty much closed again in Scotland and so often after dinner I walk for a could of hours to keep and listen to your podcast. You've saved me from sitting in front of the telly and falling into despair.

[@tacostacosyum7663]

I've only recently discovered this channel. I love it. Thank you, CC crew!

[@fredericamatzner5708]

"Hazy Shade of Winter" was originally recorded by Simon and Garfunkel in 1966. In 1987, it was part of the soundtrack for the film "Less Than Zero," and was covered by The Bangles.

[@StevenLockey]

Simon: let's make a channel about horrible crimes cos I love money Also Simon: Horrible crimes make me feel bad but here's another one cos I still love money 🤣

[@TheGhostOfFredZeppelin]

This episode is really about 30 minutes long, the rest is just glorious tangent after tangent. I'm all for it!

[@maysiefurs]

I’m certainly on my way to hell for absolutely laughing so hard Simon I love your tangents! 🤣 hope you get some sleep x

[@daniellezepess]

I don't know which of Simon's tangents prompted this, but had to share that I'm currently watching the miniseries "Unbelievable" based on a true-crime serial rapist that was active in the U.S. Pacific Northwest in the early 2000s-2010s. The saddest/most frustrating part about it is how the detectives 'investigating' the original incident essentially interrogated the victim to the point of forcing her to recant her statement [of being raped.] It's tough to watch, and I totally get Simon's frustration with investigative incompetence/apathy. Simon, I appreciate your empathy, and your impressively long narrations. Casual Criminalist Team, keep the fascinating content coming.

[@hinder10709]

Oh cool. I've been curious about this. It reminds me of the Brabant killers for some reason. Which is also a video I'd like to see.

[@lolalo6344]

The Brabant killers? Which ones are those? Never mind, it is mentioned in the video

[@bobbisparks53]

Was that the thing that happened back around 82-85? I was just little girl then but my family and I lived in Germany and I recall hearing something with that name....it was a spree killing or something like that with rifles instead of handguns, right?

[@hinder10709]

@@bobbisparks53 Yeah. I just find it interesting because the motives seem so nebulous. As well as the long periods between crimes. I suppose because there's so little info about the killers and their motives I find it intriguing. There are some theories but nothing makes sense.

[@bobbisparks53]

@@hinder10709 most crimes of that caliber seldom do make sense...the theories can be twice as crazy or not even close to AS crazy as the reason...if my parents recall correctly....the main thought is that they did that as a distraction from the REAL job which was robberies of high costing stores and businesses....mom THINKS one of the hits were a grocery store on the cash pick-up day and some diamond or jewelry place but she's not 100% so plz don't quote her on it. I was just impressed with myself for getting that one right!! There's SO MUCH hate, crime and death in the news, sometimes it's hard to keep track of it all sadly. Take care and thank u for the validation that I was not crazy about thinking I'd heard some glimmer of that story when I was a kid. At 4-5 yrs of age...I was smart but I was also a kid so I truly am shocked that little nugget retained in my memory! Take care sweetheart!! Happy new year

[@thehumanconsensus]

I have to say, I'd like to see a video that's just Jen and Sam going back and forth, talking through memes where we have to figure out which ones which. Your video editing memologists are outstanding!

[@langedelamort999]

The money truck video was in South Africa, the people probably would have killed them if they had stopped since they were already aiming for the head in the video.

[@RHCole]

My thoughts exactly.

I love simontube , simontube is best. honestly youtube for me is 75% or more just simons channels... and I love it.
