Whoa that has never happened before on the show Anyway, let's get into these cities. Shall we Billings, Montana? This is like this city you fly to if you want to visit Yellowstone National Park because it's like the largest major city it close to the area I've known people that have lived here and they said it's kind of like a small town with a lot of people that Accidentally became a city. It's one of those Wild West cities where like a lot of famous Cowboys lived and died I've never been here, but I feel like the people here probably really like to carve wood I don't know if you're from Billings. Is that true? Do you like to carve wood? Omaha, Nebraska Omaha is like that deep core of the Midwest I knew somebody from Omaha and they joked that Omaha is like the city that you're born in so that you can move out They literally even have a bronze sculpture park dedicated to the people that moved out in Conestoga wagons back in the 1800s They have a huge pedestrian bridge. They host the College World Series They have five fortune 500 companies found here including Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Of course, he lives there but most importantly Omaha is famous for its takes some of our best steaks come from here They're literally shipped all over the world in like those dry ice containers You know, it's good If it's from Omaha, Las Vegas, Nevada, keep in mind though All that flashy casino stuff on the Las Vegas Strip is technically not part of Las Vegas City It's part of a separate entity called Paradise, which is kind of like an unincorporated town of the USA It used to be run by the Mafia or whatever something like that Vegas is basically Los Angeles's crazy Ex-girlfriend that he keeps hitting up out of loneliness and literally I'm not even joking Everything has a casino in it. The gas stations the grocery stores the 7-eleven medical assistants Just go around the roulette table the thrills the lights the shows the overdraft fees I mean if this recreation is your thing, then I say go for it, but for me no offense, Las Vegas But you're just a little bit too much for me, Manchester, New Hampshire Manchester is what I would like to call a novelist city. You know how all those famous authors like Stephen King or that dude? Who wrote Catcher in the Rye they just kind of like disappeared from the public eye and they hide away in these classes serene foresty Atmospheres. That's basically Manchester. It's a place where rich authors can just like hide Otherwise, I'll let's see what else my research says. They had this huge converted mill building from the 1800s There's a lot of good kayaking and skiing in the winter I guess, Newark, New Jersey It's like New York's little sidekick slash conjoined twin today. They have the busiest shipping port in the East Coast They have an old Irish Catholic Church. They have the largest cherry blossom fields Oh Michael B. Jordan Joe Rogan Queen Latifah, Joe Pesci and Whitney Houston are from here, huh? I didn't know that, Albuquerque, New Mexico Breaking Bad made this place very booze And Albuquerque is like one of the largest metropolitan cities that has one of the largest percentages of Native Americans in it I think the population is like somewhere between five to ten percent you see tribes like the Navajo the Apache they even have their own culture and community centers and it's really crazy because the city is Like on a very flat plane, but like juxtaposed to these very amazing eroded Dancer rocky red mountains They have like a hot air balloon festival every year when they love putting green chili on everything, New York City, New York Yeah, you all know this place. Anyway, New York is our country's largest city by population New York is basically the us's gateway to the world they host a UN and like consulates for like almost every country in the world speaking of which New York is the most Linguistically and disputable ethnically diverse city in the world at least 800 languages are spoken by minority groups in the city the city is divided into five boroughs that kind of act like counties New York has so many schools that they just kind of like Gave up on naming them and just named them my number they have their own City style hot dogs pizza We all know the main tourist attraction, so I'm not gonna mention them But I will say this people live in New York for their entire lives and even they barely scratched the surface of New York Charlotte, North Carolina Aka buzz city, I guess they really like bees or Hornets. I'm gonna name their basketball team after Hornets It's what I like to call a checkerboard city. It's like half black half white with sprinkles of Latinos and Asian's every so often Let's see what my search says for ten years between 2004 and 2014 charlotte ranked as the country's fastest growing city nearly doubling in size Whoa jobs have been opening up like rapid fire and housing is cheap I know the feeling I get is that Charlotte is kind of like probably a place where people have block parties And they played the stereo on their porches as they sit down and let the kids run around in the sprinklers on hot humid summer days, Fargo, North Dakota Fargo like Omaha is a Midwestern city and it really likes to capitalize off of the movie Fargo They actually have a wood carving of Marge the cop they even have the wood chipper from the movie at the Visitor Center Where you can take pictures of yourself pretending to be a sociopath?
