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

In general is the largest francophone community in the US and it's really cool when they speak it and even if they just have that

Cajun accent it's like oh yeah keep talking Portland, Maine now again, this is difficult because I've never been to Maine my buddy

Jason is kind of from that general area. He's told me a little bit about it

I feel like Portland is kind of like if you took all the stereotypes of Maine and jammed it into one

Concentrated semi metropolitan area, that's what it would be like, you know

Huge maritime culture a lot of people there go sailing and fishing

I'm sure like, a lot of the houses and buildings are like decorated with you know, maritime ornaments like anchors or like harpoons

there's probably a guy with like an eyepatch and he lives in a lighthouse and he's like I once caught this whale but it got

away

Baltimore Maryland where you can get crabs

Like softshell Blue Maryland crabs cooked right or crab cakes that it's a really cool city

I've been there a few times they got a great little Italy

They got like historic wooden sea vessels on the coast where you can just kind of visit and check them out

It's just like a really cool place to have a lunch, you know, yeah, that's what I'd say

Baltimore is like a good lunch city, Boston, Massachusetts. I've known a lot of people from Boston and according to them

Boston is better than New York in every possible way. You cannot refute that
