But how was this two day's ago?
Keeps marketing team are brutal. "unless you want to end up like Simon, buy Keeps!"
@@williamoldaker5348 Most big channels post them unlisted to make sure it can't be found, edit it as needed and then post at a specific time.
@@everything777 I just want to have been a fly on the wall when someone told Simon their new sponsor was for hair loss 😂
Plz Do Qatar Real Life Aladin
Simon promoting a hair loss product is the funniest thing I've seen to date
@@TwentyNineJP lol
He still used Keeps to avoid Beard loss🤣
I'm bald as hell (ignore the wig in the profile pic) and I snort laughed throughout the ads. Also, Simon, be honest...we started losing our hair at 15, not 25. Thanks genetics...
You're not bald, you've just got your head on upside down.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The beard is him compensating ;)
1:45 - Chapter 1 - Modern morocco
5:45 - Chapter 2 - Berber beginnings
8:35 - Mid roll ads
9:55 - Chapter 3 - 3 littles destructions
15:00 - Chapter 4 - We'll always have Paris
19:15 - Chapter 5 - As time goes by
Oh man. That sponsor. I think they reached out for a nice little laugh.
Simon should say, 'jokes on them, I used their product to grow this magnificent beard'
The reached out to late
It is a little ironic isn’t it? Lol. That being said tho I wish they’d reached out earlier and I would have used the link to give Simon some of that sweet, sweet ad money because I’ve been using keeps for a few months and admittedly it does work.
@@RAS_Squints your a genious marketer lol
No one is a better spokesperson than someone who Can’t go bald.
"In all the gin joints, in all the towns the world, and she walks into mine.........." I've seen Casablanca about a hundred times and never get sick of it. Here's looking at you kid.
On dvd, at least once a year!
We'll always have Paris.
Bogart never said "play it again Sam". From memory he said "you played it for her, now play it for me Sam". The scene at the end with the aircraft was actually a scaled down Dc-3 with former "Munchkins" providing the crew for said Dc-3. It's all a matter of camera angles and scale.
@@prudencepineapple9448 Were all marooned in Casablanca now, and the bar is closed. Can't get no visa to fly out, the nazi covid's have a tight reign.
I could watch Casablanca every night and still not get bored,everything about it was perfect and the acting was superb.
All of Simon's channels are starting to blend together for me. Keep up the good work.
The city's name is also immortalised as an avenue name in Jakarta, due to Casablanca being one of Jakarta's sister cities. It houses many shopping and business centres
So what? Norway has many streets named after it world wide
Fuqu Pal Why are you triggered though ? This video is about Casablanca and Morocco in general not Norway !
Idk why but I find that super cool. Thanks for sharing! The whole idea of sister cities is awesome to me. We're all family :)
I watched Casablanca for the first time a few nights ago and thought it was great, there is literally never a dull moment throughout the entire film
Of all the UA-camrs, out of the whole internet and Simon walks into my feed
Frankly, It's his gin joint. 😉
I've always wanted to know why Casablanca is such a well known city. You have a way of reading my brain sometimes Simon!
Because of Portugal, Spain and Italy!
Thank You & Good night!
@@fuqupal hhahahaha you wish Casablanca has nothing to do with them
@@morocco_020fc7 read Casablanca's name slowly in your head and tell me it has nothing to do with Spain lol
I passed through there from Marrakesh to Rabat. Did a tour of the city... had a look at the Mosque, had a delicious lunch there as well. Traffic there sucked really huge. When we were traversing the city to get to the train station to continue the journey to Rabat, it was bumper to bumper.
Wow!!!! So much history told and Simon you told it so eloquently. Thanks for sharing
13:02 "The local population became a great source of wool for the exploding British textile industry."
did... did they shear the Berbers???
Arabs do tend to have a lot of body hair. ;)
Moroccan wool is made out of PEOPLE!
If not sheared at least "fleeced".
Omg I spit up a little beer when I read this
What did you think was underneath those turbans?
An Episode of Geographics about my Beloved City, well that's what we call a nice surprise, Mr Simon Whistler, I've been watching your videos for years now, and today you made a Moroccan Citizen, born and raised in Casablancaz the happiest man on earth, thanks a million Sir ... Cheers from Casablanca ... 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤
I'm starting to enjoy Geographics and Biographics more than top tenz (if that's possible). Simon's the best story teller!!
I know its so good isent it :)
Y’all ever heard of Business Blaze? THAT is Simon’s most epic channel. Allegedly
Same here.
@@gabrielkay6866 yea that is a real good chan to no dout !
Gabriel Kay yes by far the best channel of his.... allegedly he has worn a zebra sex mask over there.
Feeling Simon's mood here - I lost all of my hair this year due to alopecia (oh, 2020, you're such a fun year!) and I'm a woman. No Keeps (or shampoo, conditioner, or hairstyling products) for me either!
On some women, that look is stunningly beautiful.
To bad for Simon he doesn’t have a sponsor called “gets”
Noice.
Yeah. That's funny.
Cute cat
🤭
*too bad
Great video. I think you had a slightly deviated approach to present the city. True it is a business tourist destination but the average tourist won't be able to appriate this part. But in fact the most shining part of the city is its role as a financial hub bridge between Europe and Africa. Casablanca is hosting headquarters of several companies and banks operating in several european and african countries.
Your advertisement about hair loss had me busting!!! Thank you so much for a great laugh. I'm 30 years old so I may need to look into that product sooner then later
I would love if you could cover the rest of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. The pyramid episode has me hooked. I especially wanna know more about the gardens of Babylon.
The first time I saw the movie I was surprised at all of the little sayings that came from the movie including the ones that weren't actually in the movie(play it again, Sam)
Fun fact: The quote "Play it again, Sam" only exists in the movie from a few Mandela effect universes. The quote does not currently exist in this universe (as of the date of this post).
"You know what I want to hear! You played it for her, you can play it for me. If she can stand it, I can. Play it!"
Uau!! I'm Portuguese and I had no idea we had a part in casa blanca. Great video!! Love it every time people can see our tiny country was once a force to be reckoned with!
A force a colonialism and genocide. Congrats.
We conquered you and brought you civilization and in return you brought us destruction . Thanks a lot 😒
Discovered this channel yesterday, have been binge watching your videos exclusively since then
Simon uses dollar shave club on his head and keeps for his epic beard what a guy 😂

Very well done. Thank you.
Every time I watch a biographics or geographics video, Simon mentions 3-4 things in passing that I want to see full videos of... These guys will never run out of content, that's for sure
morocco is amazing! Tangier might also make an excellent video, just for the lore if nothing else
visited Casablanca in 2018. loved it.
My grandmother would kick right off if she heard you call it "just a movie".
Adele Taylor what’s ‘kick right off’ a pseudonym for?
Like throw a bitch fit? Break out laughing? Take of running? Start a revolution?
First and last term you used...basically
GREAT MOVIE they dont make them like that anymore !! i just love the classics !
'" Did you sleep well?"
"Yes"
"That's strange. You are not supposed to sleep well in Casablanca."
Thank you for saying: In Hollywood.. Bombastic budget replaced simple story telling.

Here’s looking at you, kid. It’s also more than a scene in the defunct Great Movie Ride at Disney World. Morocco is beautiful
God I felt that 'It's too late for me' and I'm only 22
Take it from a girl... hair on men is highly overrated!
Grow a beautiful beard like Simon here and girls won't care a bit
Thank you for Finally doing a episode about morocco
Man you give so much info I’m going to be looking it up for months! Lol good stuff!
Simon's hair is waved- it's waved goodbye!
That was exceptionally good, Reminds me of that song "I get knocked down, I get up again, You're never gonna keep me down." and "Location, location, location".
I feel like we should start a count of business blaze memes that end up in other channels
‘allegedly’
Wow! Very good piece! THanks!
I like your video ❤ well made … you kept information clear and academic and balanced with a soul and humor … great video 🎉
im in my mid 40's a self proclaimed NERD, GEEK...Watcher of STAR WARS well over 1000 times...That being said...i will always have Casablanca!!..I first watched this PERFECT movie with my Mom at 7 yrs old!..i watch it Twice a year since, once with my mother. also my name is Rick.
I haven’t been to Casablanca but I have been to Agadir and Marakesh. They were both beautiful places. We lived in Germany at the time and used a German tour company for our trip to Morocco. From the airport to the hotel area there were checkpoints at every intersection. When my husband and I left the hotel grounds we had “undercover “ minders following us around. We didn’t care much, we were after all American soldiers on leave. We were open minded and respectful of the people around us and we had a really great time. I think the only time I got a little miffed was when we were leaving and the female officer was giving me a hard time going through security, something about not taking Moroccan coins out of the country. (It’s not allowed apparently) other than that I would go back again.
I really enjoy watching him/you too quite literally I appreciate that he/you have the camera stand/tripod and then the edit as an addition a wonderful combination and informative the holy Trident of (informative) entertainment 😂🙏🏼
Keep doing what you do much love and positive vibes stay healthy
Really interesting - thank you for the context.
One of your best videos yet.
When i see your Bio or Geo channel alert i just watch...even when lacking, always informative and entertaining. ;-}
I have holidayed in Morocco and it is a wonderful country. Rick's Bar in Casablanca is modeled on the film studio set in Hollywood.
The coffee is very good and too expensive prices !
Frankly my dear...
I'm gonna need to put this on my bucket list.
Casablanca is superior to Gone With the Wind, in every way.
@@thomashiggins9320 Here's to you kid!🍻
Damn Simon, you are killing the game with these videos. Keep it up!
Morocco is also the country that has Africa's first high speed rail lines with trains that have a top speed of 200mph running from Casablanca to Tangier. Like the US Acela, they are based on the French TGV and built by Alstom.
My cousin stayed there with a host family while she was doing her Arabic studies in college, among other countries! She really enjoyed herself!
Only you Sir could make that Sponsor mention work so well .
Star Trek - The Next Generation even had a tribute episode in the 1st season, "We'll Always Have Paris". The Enterprise responds to a distress call, and Picard runs into an old flame, one that he ran out on in Paris when they were to meet up.
thanks
"At some point, they had to have looked at ANOTHER invading army..."
And cried "Leave us alone Mel Brooks"?
As my wife is from Morocco I've been to the country many, many times and unfortunately Casa is my least favorite place there. Big, dirty, polluted, crowded, horrible traffic. Not a fan.
Try Marrakech, Fes, Essouira, or Ouarzazate first.
So true. I was so disappointed with Casablanca.
Chefchaouen , Hoceima , Tangier, Taza and other hidden gems are gorgeous too . I'm moroccan and for me Casa is the uggliest city here !
Making Simon do an ad for a hair loss therapy is like making Casey Anthony do an ad for a daycare.
I don't see the equivalency but I'm gonna count it!
God only made a few perfect heads the rest he covered in..., na screw it. Yer bald, mate. :)
"Casablanca" is my all time favorite movie. I watch it every birthday as a special treat to myself. My family was on a cruise through the Panama Canal a few years ago and the ship had "Casablanca" on the schedule in one of the smaller theaters. ON THE DAY WE WERE TRANSITING THE LOCKS! So I went to guest services and explained my plight. She graciously said she'd see what she could do and I expected nothing to come of it. Two days later I get a hand written note from the CD and the Captain explaining that they had talked the guy who was giving all the historical Panama talks to move his scheduled session so they could show the movie again. In the BIG theater this time. Only time I've ever seen it on the big screen and I was dead center with a Guinness, two whiskey, and a big damn bucket of popcorn. There were maybe 10 people in the theater with me and somehow they found out I was the reason there was a second showing. Lots of smiles and "thank-yous".
Awesome! I need to watch the movie now, Also Do Monte Carlo Next! 😃👍
Thank You!

Hey Simon, would love you if you did a Geographics vid on The Pink and White Terraces, the '8th Wonder of the World' destroyed by a Mt Tarawera a volcano in colonial times in New Zealand. It's a great story with a fascinating history.
If any of you don't enjoy Simon's presentation of detailed history, and you feel you have to leave a thumbs down, then just don't watch. He has never been a hack. Sounds like you people are who give it a thumb's down. It's always a short capsule of history in one are of the world. Learn something!
Hi Lynn, I liked your comment that ended with "Learn something" :-) I'm setting you some homework if you are up to the challenge.
Simon said "... the barbary priates would run up and down the mediterranean coast stealing from villages and robbing wealthy european ships."
Let me know if you think this is a reasonable summary of their activities ? I've never given a thumbs-down to Simon myself - I like him too much - but I'm hoping you'll figure out why some people do so. History is too important to miss out (perhaps deliberately) the worst parts.
My assumption is that the thumbs-down are not for missing out important parts of history, but for missing out parts selectively that someone less generous than myself (or you) might consider to be partisan.
Haha the ad is funny but the way you played it was *hilarious!*
You wouldn’t be the man you are today without that shiny head of yours Simon
Please do one on Copperopolis...White Rock, Swansea South Wales. As always keep up the hard work!
Casablanca is one of my favorite movies
Mine too, along with "Captains Courageous" with Spencer Tracy.
Who is that in a reflection at 18:31 and why is it moving so fast? :O
Seemed a bit spooky and suspicious when I saw it as well
A very related story, but actually quite different, would be an account of Tanger (or Tangier as it is known in the West). It's nearby and quite abit smaller than Casablance, but in my visits to Morocco, I found Tanger much more fascinating than the much vaunted Casablanca. Its history is wild, but sadly (almost) no one goes to Tanger.
Me: Hears berber
My brain: *HAm BuRBuR*
Who noticed the 'ghost', seen very briefly as a reflection in one of Simon's framed pictures when he was talking about the assassinated French admiral? Simon is always entertaining.
Simon has outdone himself with this video!
I went to Morocco in 2017 and Casablanca in particular along with other part of the country. I miss it
Oh, the irony of a bald man hawking hair retention products. 🤨😋
It is the city where I was born 27 years ago, before moving abroad.
And a story on Sicily would be terrific, too.
Suggestion, The Edmond Fitzgerald on Lake Superior.
Cheers!
What, nothing about the waters? I heard Casablanca was famous for it's waters. Perhaps I was misinformed.
Water of Casablanca is bad the best water of Morocco are founded in the rif mountain

I really enjoyed this one! I have been planning a trip to Casablanca but now the pandemic has hit and I don't know what will happen. If I can go in December or January 2021 I'm going! P.S. Simon...from one cue ball to another, you're head looks great.
Spend your money and time elsewhere. Casablanca is a disappointment, way too overrated.
My advise as a moroccan is : For now , visit Tangier , Marrakech , Chefchaouen , Hoceima ...etc .
As for Casablanca give it 3 years from now , since they are building new projects there and It will look good in 2-3 years time . Now It's just like a big workshop !
hhh_funny
I visited Casablanca in 1999 and I thought it was one of the most dreary cities I have ever been to. There was really not that much there to see other than the Mosque and the very interesting souq. I am glad to here they are trying to spruce it up a bit.
I live sixty miles south of Casablanca and really must agree, there is little to love about the city. Few tourists visit Casablanca as there is very little to interest tourists other than the Hassan II Mosque.
I'm puzzled by your sponsor... Like, It's good to have sponsors, but it's confusing to be like "Hi there, I'm a very attractive man who looks very attractive bald, may I interest you in a product that will contribute to none of that?"
you should make a vídeo on lisbon
Thanks!
we love simon for his bald head a cool beard great video as well i have seen the maltease falcon by humphery bogart
So Morocco not only was the first nation to recognise the US but also supported the revolution that birthed it? I'd be interested in knowing the opinions of right wing Islamophobes in the US on this fact
Do you miss your hair Simon. I'm missing alot of mine gonna go to keeps use your code and hopefully get my hair back.
Thank you
What did Simon look like with hair???? Topknot, Ponytail? Mullet? 😂😂😂
Finding this concept very hard to picture hehe
"its too late for me" xD I feel like i owe it to all my bald bros to keep my hair
Heh, every bald man once thought he'd never lose his hair. It happens to the best of us.
That sponsor spot was a pure win!
Bald since 18 and Loving it. No bad hair days and I can run a bit faster.😆 what happened to dollar shave? Definately more appropriate sponsor haha
Spent a lot of time in Marrakesh when doing space shuttle support. There was a trans-Atlantic abort site, AKA "Oh shit! site", near there at an old SAC base. Used to go to the market to pick up gifts. Enjoyed meals in roof top restaurants over looking the square. Good times.
At 14:53 for a second I thought the music from Enderal was playing! Got my hopes up, there's some amazing BGM in that mod. Definitely want to play it some more now, heh
Love this channel
