  • Hey, everybody could see you again. So two things number one. We are filming the next few country episodes

  • So I gotta give you a filler week topic second of all very quickly

  • A lot of you have been asking me what am I gonna do about?

  • Swati me, you know the name that Swaziland's just changed their name to and to answer that question

  • I'm going to see what the UN does in terms of their

  • methodology for standard country codes and names right now the country still stands under

  • Swaziland under the ISO alpha-3 code of

  • swz

  • if they change this for the first time I will nullify the

  • Alphabetical rule and we will do in a SWAT teeny episode if they do not change it then I will have to follow the UN

  • standard list and it will have to go under s for

  • Swaziland so it's up to the UN. All right, but let's get into the video

  • So for this video I chose a topic that many of you guys suggested a long time ago

  • I summarized all of the 50 states of the United States

  • however, a lot of you guys asked me to summarize the biggest cities in each state of the United States

  • I've actually been to a lot of these cities

  • So I feel like I have a better

  • insight to some of them but for some of these cities my knowledge is pretty limited because I've never even been to the state let

  • Alone this city

  • So for those cities

  • I'm just gonna try my best to improvise and

  • summarize it how I feel like that city would be like based off of whatever little knowledge I have and I might add a little

  • Bit of research in there as well. Alright, so here we go, Birmingham, Alabama

  • This place is like Atlanta's little brother and it was like a huge Center for the civil rights movement

  • And like it really doesn't matter if you're black or white everybody cheers for the same team

  • They all scream roll tide and they love Alabama style barbecue. Oh my gosh so much sauce, Anchorage, Alaska

  • Now you guys know that Ken and I were recently there for the second geography

  • There's the thing the city of Anchorage was like built by survivors if you thought Texans were tough

  • You have not met Alaskans practically everybody in that city knows how to either hunt fish or like just generally not die

  • Literally when I was at that school, this girl came up to me and she showed me this picture

  • She's like hey, look at this

  • I shot this moose when I was only eight years old

  • Speaking of which the city actually does have like I think fourteen hundred wild moose just roaming around randomly

  • No, but seriously, it's like an incredibly charming City. Lots of like Pioneer themed bars and pubs and restaurants very charming

  • totally recommend you visit, Phoenix, Arizona

  • They're like the opposite of Anchorage in which instead of thriving off of the cold thrived off of the heat

  • The City of Phoenix is really interesting because it's like they have these big massive

  • Boulder Hill things all over that the highway passes through there's a lot of native tribes there

  • Like I think the Apache and the old dam, you know instead of green grass and their front lawns they have cacti

  • These people are very smart when it comes to like water conservation

  • And yeah, I mean if you just really want to see like a desert metropolis, Phoenix

  • Go there Little Rock Arkansas. Now, I drove past here one time and my first impression was wow

  • There's a lot more black people here than I thought there were I always thought Little Rock would be kind of like, you know

  • Predominantly white, you know country-ish type of city

  • But no like literally half of the population is black and it's really interesting because the city kind of like fuses

  • Country and black culture like there's black people there playing country music. That's the thing like this city surprises you at every turn

  • So I like if you like surprises go to Little Rock, Los Angeles, California my hometown the second largest city in the u.s

  • Basically when it comes to California, there's two titans Los Angeles and San Francisco LA makes billions off of entertainment

  • San Francisco makes billions off of tech now LA is like a double-edged sword because on the surface, you know, you have beaches

  • skiing perfect weather most of the year good-looking people

  • But the problem is you have lots of smog

  • Traffic scams broken dreams and everything is like crazy expensive especially if you're north of the 10 freeway

  • But other than that whether you love it or hate it, there's just something about this city that just sparkles Denver

  • Colorado Denver is like our healthiest city people here

  • You know, they all go hiking they all go kayaking they all actually go outdoors

  • I'm pretty sure half of everybody has like a stash of trail mix in their cars just for emergencies

  • It's a little deceptive though. The airport is like 20 miles away in the middle of some cornfields

  • But yeah I imagine Denver is probably a beautiful city where they eat a lot of elk

  • Because elk is like a big thing out in the Rockies

  • I know if you're from Denver, let me know if that was right, Bridgeport, Connecticut

  • Now I have never been to Connecticut

  • but I knew a guy that lived close by and he said it's actually a little bit kind of like

  • depressing and creepy because there's like a lot of power plants and factories and

  • Industrial areas along the coast and one of them is haunted

  • I think it's called like the Remington Arms Factory and there's also that like abandoned haunted cursed Savoy Hotel

  • Which was like built on an Indian burial mound and my people were murdered there or something

  • The fact Connecticut has like a lot of creepy stuff now that think about it

  • But the funny thing is Connecticut is also known for being like very clean and proper and like suburban II

  • So, I don't know maybe it's like clean and proper but with like a creepy undertone

  • Maybe it's like the the Stepford Wives that type of thing going on. I don't know how you describe yourselves

  • Kinetic Hetty kinetic kid, Ian's what do you call it? What do you call yourself? Kinetic Asian's kinetic Kees kinetic energy

  • I don't know Wilmington Delaware now

  • I've never been there but I did a little bit of research Wilmington is actually the site of Fort Christina the first Swedish

  • settlement in North America

  • Yeah I remember the Swedish actually took a stab at

  • Colonialism that one time and they tried to make an empire didn't really work out that well

  • but they tried now today there's a tons of Italians and Greeks the city slogan is it's a place to be

  • Somebody I'm not completely sure what that means, but maybe if you think you're a big shot

  • Wilmington is your place to go Miami, Florida

  • now when I think of Miami I think of like dudes wearing

  • you know buttoned beige shirts with matching slacks and like

  • Sandals and maybe slicked back hair or like a Panama hat and for them that's considered business casual

  • Miami is like two things the cruise ship capital of the world and the Latin American capital with a huge

  • Cuban population, you will always hear like some kind of Latin music playing in the background and you'll smell something spicy in the air

  • unfortunately

  • They do get kind of hit hard with extreme storms and hurricanes and they do kind of have to worry about

  • Flooding with you know rising sea levels, but hey worry about that later the Mambo just started playing let's dance, Miami

  • Wow, this is the worst continuity error I've ever made in a video but nothing I can do about it

  • Got to keep moving on Atlanta, Georgia. Atlanta is kind of like birmingham's older brother

  • You know, it's uh, it's the home of Martin Luther King lots of civil rights stuff happened here, too

  • but uh The interesting thing is that they are now becoming like the new Hollywood

  • Of the East Coast tons of TV and movie production companies are moving out to Atlanta now partially because number one the scenery

  • To the weather 3 it's cheaper for the tax rates and 5 generally

  • It's just like a nice convenient City when it has like the busiest airport in our entire country, Atlanta

  • It's kind of like an up-and-coming city in America. Check it out and back to the previous footage, Honolulu, Hawaii

  • I've been to this place and I will say this be careful of the rocks

  • Underneath the water on some of the beaches

  • I personally think Honolulu is kind of like what all Polynesian States should strive after you know

  • Like a culturally intact place that moves forward into the 21st century with an advanced infrastructure and diversified economy. What's really cool though?

  • I would say is the Hawaiian language revival a couple decades ago

  • The language almost went completely extinct, but then they started like immersion programs in schools

  • And now like half the population can speak it mostly the younger people, you know

  • You got all the touristy stuff from the beautiful beaches and whatever

  • But to me that is like one of the most beautiful things about Honolulu, Boise, Idaho

  • Now this is a difficult one because I've never been to Idaho let alone Boise

  • So I'm just gonna kind of say what I guess the city would probably be like to me

  • I feel like Boise is the type of city where nobody

  • Would bother you like seriously

  • I feel like half of their population must be part of the witness protection program because not even serial killers would they'd be like

  • Oh, I have to go to Idaho

  • Forget it. I did some research and let's see one of the largest Basque communities in America lives here

  • What else they have a centre for birds of prey which helped the peregrine falcons from being taken off the endangered species list

  • Oh, that's pretty cool. I guess. Yeah Boise. I port will be the bird or the Falcon capital of the USA, Chicago, Illinois

  • Now I wasn't born in the city, but I did spend a lot of years growing up here

  • So I feel like I have a somewhat extended knowledge base Chicago is the comedy capital of America

  • There are more comedy clubs here per capita than in any other city in America

  • Some of our most famous comedians were either born or trained here

  • They also have like the slow lowest metro system in the country

  • but that's actually part of the charm you're riding a train in these like

  • Elevated platforms to get so close to the buildings like you feel you're gonna hit them

  • Oh and never ever put ketchup on your hot dogs

  • Indianapolis, Indiana I passed by this city a few times and that's kind of like what the city is known for the city that you

  • Pass by and not just kidding

  • The biggest thing that they're famous for is the Indy 500 one of the largest motorsport venues in our country

  • I feel like the people in Indianapolis like it's like a city where you could probably still be a farmer and live in an apartment

  • Like the guy down the hallway in apartment 305 a you know

  • He actually probably has like a tractor in some field 40 miles away, Des Moines, Iowa

  • I went here for Caleb's wedding you guys remember Caleb? Yeah, he's from Iowa

  • my impression of Des Moines was like

  • Oh, just maybe this little guy he's trying to be a city out in the middle of the country, you know

  • But seriously Des Moines is kind of like this secret little weapon that America hides in the middle of nowhere for one

  • It's like one of the most important cities for presidential campaigns because the first caucuses are held here and second. It is our insurance

  • capital city

  • So yeah

  • If you want like financial services

  • Or like logistics specialists come out here. These people really know how to do their math and wrestle they're famous for wrestling as well

  • So it's like they're smart and strong go figure, Iowa, Wichita, Kansas

  • now this place has two nicknames cow town and the air capital of the world the first one because they have a

  • Prominent cattle industry go figure the second because they are famous for being very prominent figures in the aeronautical engineering industry

  • Thanks to the perfect setting of flat land and unobstructed skies. They also host the McConnell Air Force Base

  • But yeah, if you want to fly high

  • Wichita's skies or where you might want to arise

  • Yeah, I got the flow. No, I don't, Louisville, Kentucky. Its

  • Louisville not Louisville, Louisville, no, Louisville

  • I've been here a few times and I gotta say it is a nice little sleepy River town scooter. You remember scooter

  • Yeah, my buddy scooter. Sure. He's from there. And yeah, I stayed at his family's place very walkable city for them

  • It's all about baseball bourbon and horse racing. They put bourbon in everything

  • They put it in like their cakes their pies if you're not all bourbon pie. Oh, that is good stuff

  • What's really weird though? Is they have like a theme park right neck to the airport? Okay, New Orleans or

  • Nollans now, there's the one city in the US that I have not been to that

  • I am dying to go to the food is spicy. The music is unique

  • The buildings have that Janousek quoi

  • Appeal that brings you back to the era when the French controlled this place and just like, Hawaii

  • There is a resurgence of people that are now starting to learn Cajun French

  • Louisiana
