I lost out of my school Geography Bee because of the Trench. The question asked was, "What's the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean? " I answered, "Challenger Deep." I was deemed incorrect. The correct answer was, "The Mariana Trench." It's been 33 years and I am still bitter.
I'm surprised by the host change, but I'm certainly willing to give Karl a chance. One of the reasons I like Simon is because I could listen to the man read a phone book. He's got that kind of voice. I actually enjoy his more serious content more than his crazier stuff.
@@Galiant2010 unfortunately, I'm about 10 years older than his average viewer, so some of his fascinating tangents just make me roll my eyes. To each their own, we can all find our way to enjoy.
KARL! I knew you wrote for Simon's channels but now you get to be a presenter??? Thats awesome ! I'm subscribed to both yours and Simon's channels anyhow!
Owner of this and two other channels formerly hosted by Simon was dealing with personal issues and dropped the ball (she explained how in a previous video). Simon left and Karl is the temp until someone else picks up the position or Karl wants to go full time.
@@outlaw832005lol but Simon literally just made a new channel that is a copy of this called “places” so he obviously didn’t leave on good terms . He knows the audience is here for him so when he left he started an exact replica lol
So... recap: Simon is gone from three channels he did not own, only hosted on, and the reason was the owner died during the pandemic and his daughter fell apart under the weight of his death and trying to keep things going to preserve his legacy. And Karl is the acting host as the channels move forward in the post-Simon era. I cannot fault the new owner. My step-dad passed away suddenly in August 2022, and my elderly mother has not handled things well at all. Fast deaths are great for the dead, but not so much for those left behind. Karl is a great presenter. His only fault is one he has no control over: he's not Simon, and Simon is why most of us are subscribed to the channel(s). I am willing to give Karl a chance to grow on me like Simon had, and I hope the majority of viewers feel the same. ❤
I agree, and he has the same dry humor. Simon was the least him on these channels, so they had become my least favorite of all his channels. Karl seems like mold. He'll grow on you. Lol. Really, once I started picking up his speech patterns , I am really liking him.
I just hope this doesn't go the way TKOR did. The owner died, the family took over, replaced the hosts and changed up the content to click-bait garbage.
Cool vid👍 Just a thought - kindly add metric measurements in screen as imperical measurements are only officially used in USA, Libya and Libya and Myanmar
Be sue generally the biggest subscriber base is the US. Simon explained this a very long time ago. If the subscriber base wasn’t mostly US then it would be different. You cater to your base.
Yall calm down!! Karl is doing his best. Dont forget that watching also supports the writers. If you go back 4 to 5 years ago, simon was also awkward and rushed. Give him a chance. Hes not simon but he is trying
And he's improving quite quickly. Remember that prior to this, Karl never used a teleprompter. He's done all his hosting through memorization and adlibbing. This was a totally new style for him, so it's natural it would take him some time to adjust.
@@geographicstravel - at least Karl adlibbed to someone in the studio. It took me the longest time to realize Simon's asides and tangents were to himself, and not a camera operator.
Loving this, BUT just a minor correction ; That blue hole 🕳 on the thumbnail is actually off the coast of Belize 🇧🇿 in the Caribbean on a coral reef. Nowhere near the Pacific!
Fun fact: Jaques, Auguste, and Jean Felix Piccard were the inspiration for naming Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek. Ought to have been a "Make it so" joke in there.
1.0 Speed was a little too fast, so I changed the settings. .75 Speed was a little too slow, but it made the faster parts easier to understand with Karl's accent. That is really my only issue with the video. Great job!
Yes, that is how thumbnails work. It's called clickbait and, while manipulative, it is effective at what it does and I can't fault the channel for using the tactic.
In mid 2017, I was part of a historic team that descended to the farthest reaches of the Marijuana Trench. Several of us are still giggling to this day.
Wow, it’s wonderful to “meet” someone who has experienced deep. As a child I was a great follower and enamored of Jacque Cousteau and became a scuba diver at first chance earning my padi certification and several advanced certifications as time went by and I had logged increasingly more dives. I salute those stalwart explorers as yourself!
Seeing someone else good and qualified run the show, makes me realize what great flare Simon brings as a host. Not that this guy isn't really good, but Simon is one of a kind.
I think you're doing very well, Karl! You already look quite comfortable in the role and you're giving it your own spin and flavour, and I enjoyed this video quite a lot thanks to it! If you decide to become a permanent host, you'll definitely fit in very well, and I'm also going to check out your main channel! On the video itself, fascinating subject. It's amazing how far we can go when we set our minds to it and don't half-ass it. If only we didn't leave our trash behind while doing it...
The accent is tricky. It seems like he is trying to read it as quickly as possible, but in doing so he failed to impress the highlights of the presentation. (Not a judgement, just a helpful critique) Like when talking about how Challenger Deep is not the closest to the core, and how the spin of the earth bulges the equator and then … I have no idea what he was saying … and then I heard a challenger deep again and then realized I had missed something!
@@Maver1ck911 In Top Tenz. The gist of it is that the previous owner of the channels (Top Tenz, Biographics and Geographics) died suddenly (of Covid, iirc) and the new owner, his daughter, fell apart because of grief and pressure and her relationship with Simon was strained so he decided to leave these affiliated channels. She has admited fault in this but is hoping that she can get things back under control and make the channels successful again.
It was a Coast Guard Cutter. They had a small boat out in case of sharks, and I only swam around for a few minutes so I could brag about it to my grand kids someday
@@Patrick_Cooper and in YT comments as well don’t forget. You’re probably about the same age/generation as my father, he was born in ‘53. Wasn’t there a carrier in the USCG? Why don’t they contain an area with nets for swimming, for physical exercise? I’m sure there’s plenty other creatures besides sharks, like jellyfish, squid, stingrays, saltwater crocs, giant sea snakes and eels and unknown sea monsters, even whales are dangerous. Did you have much opportunity for swimming etc? Or was it just once in a blue moon kinda thing?
@@flashgordon6670 The Coast Guard never had a carrier. They mostly had ships and boats much smaller then your average destroyer of the day. The Campbell was 327 feet long by about 40 wide. It was used in WW2 as convoy protection, and on one crossing they encounter a U boat on the surface. The captain order to ram the sub. They did and almost sank themselves.
@@Patrick_Cooper That makes me feel lucky to not have been in WW2. Weren’t you a bit far from the coast at the Marianas trench? I mean guarding from 10000 miles away is taking the job just a bit too seriously imo. Sorry I forgot that carrier groups have an S in the name, USCSG easy mistake, still you made it sound so glamorous.
Constructive criticism is cool. The 1 mil "Where's Simon?!?!" "No Simon, no watch!!!1!!1" "Your accent is weird, sound more like Simon!" (latter on one of their last vids) on the other hand, can gtfo. They aren't constructive, they're childish. @@willdsm08
Always love to see and hear Karl presenting. Calm and relaxed yet authoritative and knowledgable. Great mix of qualities. You should definitely keep him!
I prefer measurements reported in their original form, so they don't get mangled by repeated back and forth conversions. If you can't deal with simple arithmetic, calculators are ubiquitous.

I found your content extremely interesting and informative. My ears need you to slow down just a little bit so that I can better comprehend the information you have spent so much time researching for us. Thank you for the video.
If you go into settings you can adjust the playback speed (slow it down or speed it up) to your preference. Hope this helps you. It took me forever to figure it out.
@@prodigioussovereign2548 Thank you for the tip. I liked the content. Others seem to have had similar experiences in the comments, so, I hope Geographics will consider it constructively as it was intended. Thank you.
Im both a fan of simon and of Karl after seeing him in other things prior so either way im happy with the choice of hosts, good vid btw and all the best to you regardless of whats going on behind the scenes.
Not surprised Simon doesn't host still. Dudes got like 10 channels on youtube. He probably cloned himself just to get the work done, and the clone died or something. Sounds legit
I appreciate the video. Thanks. I am having some trouble understanding Karl, however, as he talks very fast. I'd appreciate in the future if he would try to slow down a bit. I know I can set RUclips to play at a slower speed, but I'm trying to make a helpful comment that might benefit many listeners. Thanks.
Need to work on pace and making sure the voice audio is layered over the music so the two don't fight each other. 1:50 just doesn't work to convey the point, too chaotic writing and pace. 5:005:30 is done well with good pace.
We can put a man on the moon. Land RVs on Mars but can't build a vehicle that could go down and explore the Marianas Trench and Challenger Deep? I'm not a physicist could someone explain that. I really would like to know.

I need to catch up on these videos! Im so used to Simon, but Karl is kicking ass! It was a little fast pace, but I talk similar. Definitely dig his style though
We just added another host too! Karl Smallwood and Eric Malikyte (who works behind the scenes) will share hosting duties to keep Karl from burning out.
@geographicstravel I was worried about that for a moment. It's good not to be overwhelmed, even if it's a fun job! I hope Simon is alright, too. I'm totally watching catch-up videos!
Great video & really cool to see a new face. Although I'm not sure that's what they meant when you were told to where a button down shirt...vacation only my friend !
Not on Top Tenz, Biographics or this channel any more. They're not his, and he and the actual owner went their separate ways a while back. You just noticed? This is really just beating a dead horse at this point...
Rest for Fact boy lover of coke and Freudian slips, and to meny content farms to count. Long live Karl Smallwood of Big Whangs limited and the unsung script writer for a good chunk of what Simon was given credit for by the unknowing masses.
Karl, I think, in my opinion, you are doing a FANTASTIC job hosting Biographics, TopTenz, and now, Geographics! Prayers that your journey goes from interim host to permanent host.
@V0idFace No you are stating your OPINION. The FACT you don't understand the difference is not a surprise. If you had commented on any other geographics video before this one, it might add credibility. As such your words are hollow.
@@archstanton6102 except it isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact: Karl is bad. He’s a bad host, the channel is going downhill. These are all facts, and you not liking them doesn’t negate them. Cry more. Oh and stop liking your own comments, it’s sad.

Like the content, as always 😊
Thank you !
Could I suggest adding in graphics of metric equivalents for all of our friends who don't use freedom units?
So all the planet bar USA, Liberia and myanmar
Why is the video thumbnail picture of the Great Blue Hole in Belize?
It's a clickbait.
Omg yall are such babies...
Pure darkness makes for bad thumbnails. Would you be interested in a submarine journey? Its free just for you. 😂
Dude, who is this????!!!!!where is the Whistle!!!!
Can’t think of a better replacement for Fact Boi than Mr. Fact Fiend himself. Great work Karl!
Is Simon sick or just sick and tired of hosting 4011 channels?
"Sounding" pshhh haha
I need to catch up on these videos! Im so used to Simon, but Karl is kicking ass! It was a little fast pace, but I talk similar. Definitely dig his style though
We just added another host too! Karl Smallwood and Eric Malikyte (who works behind the scenes) will share hosting duties to keep Karl from burning out.
@geographicstravel I was worried about that for a moment. It's good not to be overwhelmed, even if it's a fun job! I hope Simon is alright, too. I'm totally watching catch-up videos!
Great video & really cool to see a new face. Although I'm not sure that's what they meant when you were told to where a button down shirt...vacation only my friend !
Please use also the metric system
Please read a book
Wait, where’s Fact Boy?
Not on Top Tenz, Biographics or this channel any more. They're not his, and he and the actual owner went their separate ways a while back. You just noticed? This is really just beating a dead horse at this point...
@@paulherman5822 It's just not the same without Simon Whistler though
@@Eric_Hutton.1980Yes, that's how change works.
You'll get used to it.
Rest for Fact boy lover of coke and Freudian slips, and to meny content farms to count. Long live Karl Smallwood of Big Whangs limited and the unsung script writer for a good chunk of what Simon was given credit for by the unknowing masses.
Karl, I think, in my opinion, you are doing a FANTASTIC job hosting Biographics, TopTenz, and now, Geographics! Prayers that your journey goes from interim host to permanent host.
He’s not, let’s hope he is fired soon. He’s bad.
@@V0idFacestick to trolling other channels
@@archstanton6102 stating facts isn’t “trolling.”
Karl is bad, I hope he is gone soon.
@V0idFace No you are stating your OPINION.
The FACT you don't understand the difference is not a surprise.
If you had commented on any other geographics video before this one, it might add credibility. As such your words are hollow.
@@archstanton6102 except it isn’t an opinion, it’s a fact: Karl is bad. He’s a bad host, the channel is going downhill.
These are all facts, and you not liking them doesn’t negate them. Cry more.
Oh and stop liking your own comments, it’s sad.
Amelia Earnhardt's plane is probably in the Marianas Trench or in a similar subduction trench in the western Pacific.
I’m so tempted to make an immature joke
Go ahead, I'm sure it'll be very original and not at all grating
