You realise that you're old when you hear someone explain to the audience what an audio cassette is ._.
Had the same thought, and I was born in 90. I remember when portable DVD players were pretty nifty
now imagine what our grandparents feel
Lol 😂 I had the opposite reaction. Although I do know what a cassette is.
Hehe yeah. When I was these kids age, cassettes were the latest 'mobile technology' replacing LP's and if you had a personal cassette stereo cassette player that had Dolby stereo and recorded you were rich. I remember spending a weeks salary on a Kenwood one 1cm thick, and my music a shelf full of cassettes. It was a real bummer when the cassette players 'ate' them and all the tape came out like spaghetti wasn't it lol. Remember the 'splice fix' trick with sellotape?!
YUP!
I declared myself supreme leader of an ant hill once when I was a kid.
The ants barely took notice.
You forgot to topple the queen and rule with an iron fist
Or you could have simply named them infidels, wiped them out and moved on to the next hill.
That so random
Just like the movies...
Yes josh, you, who is a nobody, declares leadership over a random useless ant hill. well done and congratulations to you
"The thin, bearded religious figure." I thought he was referring to himself as the owner of CZcams lol
I follow simon
Would they know what to do with a tape cassette and a pencil though....?
Did you guys see the video?
Did the narrator tell about how CIA funded and helped Khomeini into power and exile the Western supporting King of Iran?
I dont wanna watch it incase it's biased and they dont tell about that part since its like 50% of the thing that happened
I'm 17 and I'm proud to say I already knew what a tape and a blackberry are.

I LOVE Simon's delivery. His facial expressions and voice tone are terrific.
He was born for this work. A true professional.
I agree.
Thanks :) :)
Me too, but I can't shake the feeling that he puts on the English accent. I mean, Simon pronounces the word "caliph" as cay-liff.. English people say cah-liff. Every video has a moment that makes me pause and wonder if he's putting the accent on or if he's trolling us.
Simon' I think your fantastic. Don't stop doing what you were meant to do.
Every time, I think I already know about the subject matter you make me pause 🤔 and I learn more.
Just wanted to say thank you for that.
The fact that you had to explain a tapes & black berry phones, just makes me feel old
@1504245
I hear you loud and clear, especially the fat and furry part . . . 🤣😲
Lol
Still use my Blackberry, still the best phones out there :)
I was born in 2000 and i knew what they were. I think the gap is much smaller than Simon said so don't feel old 😁
Don’t feel old I’m just 21 and I grew up with all those things, your young compares to most on this planet ❤️
I don't think I can express how much I love the channels that Simon and his crew have created. Teaching us all one video at a time.
All of Simon’s channels are great to listen to while I work and do other things- it’s amazing, entertaining, and still educational! Keep up the great work! 👍 We love you, Simon! ❤️
They are not "his channels" he's a voice actor who is given a script he has nothing to do with production beyond being a talking head. that is how he is able to represent so many channels. I love the content too, but let's give credit where credit is due and that credit is certainly not Simon's to have.
@@lionheartfilms793I've never seen such a spectacularly incorrect statement!
Wind your neck in, and do some research before spouting of falsehoods. Simon founded, and runs all of "his" channels.
May as suggest a role in Russia's information ministry would be an ideal career change for "someone" like you.
@@ryanfarmer4882 perhaps it is you who should do some research, Instead of taking things at face value. He has multiple ongoing issues with plagiarism dating back a decade. But what do I know its not like I utilize my internet connection for more than regurgitating face value information. Do better, be better.
Educational about what?! He just had his opinions and most of the time he told lies

Brilliant lmao
Baaaaa'd. But then, this is EweToo(b).
Evan Fields not original
100th like.
ha ha ha XD
He was a Tyrant just like the Shah. The Shah was a secular Tyrant and Khomeni was a religious Tyrant. Same thing with two faces. If you want to read about a great Iranian leader read about Mossadegh.
im agree with you
Meet the new boss, not so different from the old boss.
shah tried turning iran to a 1st world country but the stupid people protested for that
shah gave everything to iranians
they didnt want it
comparing khomeini and shah is insane
the cost of dollar was not changed a single time in shahs time so nothing got more expensive expect for time that it changed 5 rials which is less than a toman and people were arguing for the change that happend after so many years
shahs father made it illegal for people to wear hijabs but shah made it legal again so people could do what they want
he gave homes to the victims of earthquakes, fires and etc
while khomeini executed 200k teenager because they didnt like khomeini
shah didnt want to sell oil to us and other countries so they took him out

Biographics
. One of the most informative sites on CZcams. Keep up the great work. Love it.
The world is focused on China and Russia, but actually Khomeinist Iran has been the most successful post-Cold War state in expanding its influence and basically creating an Empire across the Middle East. Iran now has massive influence in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Gaza, has built up Hezbollah into a very formidable politico-military force that drove Israel out of Lebanon, and helps anti-Western regimes as far away as Nicaragua.
Hey biographics crew I have a request for you guys. Can you make a video on the Dictator of the Dominican Republic Rafael Trujillo? He was such a ruthless dictator during his 31 year reign (1930-1961) that the period of time is know as the Trujillo Era. Please let me know what you guys think of this as a video has not been made on him yet. Keep up the good work on your videos and I hope you all have a wonderful day. Attempt#2. P.S this will probably be the last time I’ll repost this. I do hope a video about it will be made one day in the near future. Take care guys at biographics.
Is he the one that had the negro league players? Then threatened to shoot them if they lose.
jblack2525 i haven’t read anything about that, so I cant be certain. One thing I can say though is that Trujillo in 1937 killed anywhere between 12,000 to 35,000 Haitian, along the Haiti/ Dominican Republic border
Was he the one they referred to as "Papa Doc"?
Andy Van Lente no papa doc was the nickname for the president of Haiti from 1957-1971
Rafael Trujillo had the nickname El Jefe
I believe the biographics team will get around to it. They have so many recommendations that it may take a little while though. Im still waiting for Liberia's ex-president Charles Taylor. American educated warlord with American children and CIA ties that was funded by tire giant Firestone and supplied by notorious arms dealer Viktor Bout from lord of war fame. There is so much info on the guy, so many down right insane stories. His son came over from high school in orlando,florida to leading the anti terrorist unit and conducting so many atrocities and claimed to be a demon. What a nice middle class american kid from orlando,florida huh?
My friend (I’ll call him John) lived in Iran just prior to the Shah’s overthrow. My friend was Caucasian, his wife Iranian. Their son, obviously half Iranian. John had some high ranking friends involved with the overthrow. They told him, “Your wife is okay. However, we can’t promise your safety ~ or your son’s. Please leave before this gets out of our control. We like you and don’t want harm to any of your family but others in this movement don’t feel the same way.”
My friend had to escape with his son under the cover of darkness. His friends (those involved in the Shah’s removal) helped him escape.
It is much more detailed and interesting when he tells his situation.
Thanks for posting this video.
What about the pretty Wife? Their pretty hot over there!!
@@masterchamp3067 lol

Some of my family had to leave too (all white). They had lived there for over ten years.

Underrated comment right here
Simon has the best delivery of any narrator I have ever listened to. Love his take on things. I absolutely love these videos. Keep .em coming,,
By far the best introduction of the entire series of biographics channel
I am 20 and I have seen cassettes. When I was 1 may be 2, I started talking and my siblings thought,"we can record his voice" years later, I got to listen to those tapes.
FINALLY! I have been requesting this for months!!!
:)
Biographics I do apologize for my rudeness. I forgot to say thank you. Thank you to the crew of biographics and Simon. I am truly sorry. God bless you, and the rest of the crew.
Simon, I discovered your podcasts awhile ago - all I have to say is, you're an amazing storyteller!! As part of the under 20 crowd and a complete history freak, I can say with full confidence that Biographics is my favorite channel ever. Your narration style is great, your voice is spot-on, and you don't sound like those history teachers that bore you to death! You have a gift man, keep it up!
Thank you :) I will
I second that!✌️
Ayatollah is a great guy who should of led America to

It is a clear fact that the Man you're describing here was loved and highly respected by the people even after revolution & destructed war. Your expressions are good that does not mean your thoughts are based on fact,. In this regard one should try to research by primary persian sources, his speeches, writings and his nation can describe him best, not the biased media.
Literally the only reason he fell into power was the blind faith in Islam people had making them align with him, and the bad state of famine and abuse of funds the shah had the country in. He had bad ideas and was a weak leader. The country went from a place of poorly guided progression to poorly guided regression

@@MooncricketsInc Simon said something in the video about young people. That's my guess forgot precisely what but it was in reference to that young people would not usually learn about such things basically.

I went to the Mausoleum of Ayatollah Khomeini when I was in Iran last summer. It was the only time throughout the entire 15 days that I felt any bit of unwelcomeness. They didn't know that I was American, just a young western guy, but the people at that one location are the diehard conservatives. The rest of my time in Iran I would openly tell people that I was American and they would say "Welcome to Iran! I hope you enjoy your stay here!" and chat with me about my thoughts on Iran, their favorite things about America (the "American Dream," Los Angeles, NYC, the tv show Friends, etc) and just want to practice their English. Obviously I was interacting with everyday people, not the government, but I really enjoyed my trip. The mosques and palaces in Shiraz and Isfahan were especially amazing (as well as Golestan Palace in Tehran), and the food was delicious! Side note, you can tour the former American embassy now (it is essentially a propaganda museum now but there are old CIA relics etc on display).

Nah, I would love to see peace between Iran and the USA. It was a huge missed opportunity that the US and Iran weren't friendly from the beginning when Khomeini reached out to the US.

Fantastic overview and history of this era. I was a young man joining the US Army during the 80's and always wondered why we were at "difference" with Iran. No internet back then and research was not something the common person conducted on a regular basis. Current events were still hard to follow with TV and news magazines being the only outlet.
