It's time for another of Sam's niche interests, Counties! This complex way that we have subdivided ourselves since British rule is now the topic of Cooper, Aidan, and newcomer Kessid's latest trivia showdown. What are counties even there for? Why are some so much larger than others? Why does LA county have more people than the bottom 1,400 counties? Why does Connecticut feel the need to call them "planning regions"? I don't know, and frankly, I don't think those questions ever get answered. Enjoy anyways!

(00:16):
Welcome aboard Bus 1. We're on our way to Mentone,
Texas, and we've got some time to kill.
Let's play some trivia, gamers. Introduce yourselves.
What's up, everyone? It's Aiden.
I'm Cooper. Hello I am Kessid.
(00:39):
KESSID. It's KESSID so everyone welcome
the one and only Kessid AKA K Dub to the pod.
Well, that's a new. 1. Guys is it just me or does it
smell like up kessid in here? What's what's up, Kessing?
(01:00):
What is up Kessing? I guess the sky.
Welcome. Wow.
Good answer. Good answer.
Truly profound. OK that I know that location
doesn't give away a lot, but does anyone have a guess as to
what our topic might be? Did you say it one more time?
Say. You said the location was.
It so, yeah. So it's a it's a town in Texas
(01:20):
called Mentone, Texas. Man Tony.
Tony Soprano. The Mafia.
Good guess. OK, OK.
Men, Tony. Men.
Men, Tony. Men, Men.
Tony Men named Tony Men. Oh.
(01:45):
Tony the tiger, Tony said. Morning, Tony.
Tony the Tiger Say if I do a Mennamed Tony episode, I'm stealing
this small town. Fair.
Yeah, yeah, I I don't think it would be used for anything else.
So as you will figure out later,though, this is closely related
to the topic. The topic for this week is
counties. I know. 3 space OK, I should
(02:17):
have known yeah for of all Sam'stopics to choose right So.
I think I only know the county that I am in currently and the
county that Kesson is in good the.
County I'm in is really big, yes.
That might come up later in the game, no?
OK, do we get a? Point for how big my count is.
(02:39):
That'll be the tiebreaker. Do I have to?
Pull up a little map and click on the counties and then no.
OK. OK.
That is Sam and his free time. I will I.
Will not I? Could do that here.
OK, what is the Oh, it's counties.
Sorry, it's. Counting, all right, counting
like 123. 1. 2-3 Tony Soprano All righty The rules for this
(03:07):
game are as follows. There are going to be 3 levels.
The 1st 2 levels will be the typical bus 1 fare.
Level 1 questions are worth one point, Level 2 questions are
worth 2 points. But for round three, you are in
for a surprise. For particularly difficult
questions, I will give multiple choice options.
However, if you're able to guessthe correct option before the
(03:28):
options are read, you'll receiveone point in addition to the
full point value of the question.
Players, please keep track of your own points and as usual, no
Googling. Also, there will be a single
challenge question in the game where I will give a fake answer
to the question. Once per game, each player can
challenge what I say is the correct answer.
(03:50):
If a player correctly challengesthe fake answer, they are
awarded A whopping 3 points. However, if they incorrectly
challenge a correct answer, theylose 3 points.
Multiple players can challenge the same question, and whoever
buzzes in first and answers correctly gets the points for
each question. With that out of the way, let's
(04:11):
start the game. Let's get into counties.
Oh, I'm so. Excited.
I was. I was really confused for a
second, Sam, because you said round 3 is a surprise and then
started describing multiple choice.
I was like, that's not a surprise when you're talking
about multiple choice. We've done multiple choice
before. Surprise I.
Just came up with this. New thing?
(04:31):
It's like for your. Response.
But you have a limited number ofthings you can make it a.
Little bit easier. So I'm ready for the surprise.
I'm keeping it a surprise because I want to keep the
listeners on their, you know, the edge of their seats.
So yeah, I'll announce that whenwe get to it.
The structure of round 3, but it's it's be different.
So I'm excited. OK, here we go.
So level 1, this is the the basics of counties.
(04:54):
These are worth one point apiece.
Question one, how many counties and county equivalents are in
the US? Price is right rules now.
What the heck is a county equivalent?
Pounds chips perhaps? OK.
I think that's. A different thing.
Ridiculous. Cooper, your first. 600.
(05:16):
OK, Aiden. I feel like there's like 600 in
a state. I I think Cooper's Woah, I'm
going to say 2000. OK, Kesson, I don't like that
it's. I'll go 2100, so 2. 1000. 100
Wow, that's cutting the Ogle first.
I know Sir Kessen's already justso.
(05:40):
That point's gonna go to Kessen,actually.
Wow, there's a lot of counties. We've got over 3000, so 3144
nationwide. So wow, Congrats Kassad, your
first. One point.
Congrats, Kassad. That's probably.
Going to be my only bus one point but.
Don't go bus. One point that's.
(06:02):
Why they call it Bus 1 trivia? It's cuz.
All righty, question 2. As suggested by the previous
question, there are some states that have elected not to use
counties. What are these three states?
So each of you can come up with your guess of three.
You'll get a point each. So there's three states that
(06:24):
don't use counties, so. There's 3 or 4.
What do they use? Is that a?
Is that? Places.
I feel like that kind of gives it away.
Oh yeah. No, that's interesting.
Actually, that's a good hint. Especially for one of them,
maybe not the second one, but yeah.
Come up with your 3. Post it now.
You get one point each for this OK.
(06:46):
I'm just going gut baby. I like county gut.
And you said? States right section of my gut
that is. Yes, state.
We're we're sticking to states here, sticking to territories.
I don't think Guam uses countiesor needs to.
So what about American Samoa? That sounds like the Smash.
(07:07):
Bros Announcer Void Nova Scotia No.
It's like, it's like Smash, Yeah, it's like a Prince.
Edward Island, Nova Scotia, the only incorporated.
Prince Edward Island. OK, I have 3 states Sam.
OK, we're just waiting on. OK, Cassidy, you got your three?
(07:29):
Yeah. OK, Cooper, let's hear your
three first. Going all in on Alaska, Crunch,
Montana, Hawaii. OK, you get one point.
Let's go. Does that mean I got the the
question right? No, you got one each.
One each. Cassidy, you're next.
(07:49):
I think these are all wrong, butI have Rhode Island, New
Hampshire. That's it.
Or New Hampshire. Why?
Why to say like that? New.
Hampshire, New Hampshire. New Hampshire.
Delaware. Oh good.
OK, those are all good guesses, but zero points.
How great is it? How good?
Because it could it possibly be?OK, Aiden.
(08:10):
So I think Hawaii was the one that Cooper got right, But
that's why I said Hawaii. I also said Alaska and then I
said Nebraska because they have that weird.
Election stuff. I thought about seeing Nebraska.
That's a good guess, yeah. Nebraska is just a weird state.
It's kind of weird, right? Aiden, you also get one point.
Was it Hawaii? No.
So Alaska actually uses Burroughs?
(08:32):
Oh, like new. York City baby.
I know. It's very strange, Tony.
I know. Yeah.
Tony, it makes sense. Yeah, guys, I'm from Queens,
Alaska. I'm from Alaska.
So the other two, So Louisiana uses parishes they've got.
(08:56):
They're weird with all their French influence and everything.
I hate the French food, horriblelevies.
And then we actually have a veryrecent one, so Connecticut in
2022. No.
Welcome, Connecticut, The British.
State they left and came back. You know, it's one of those
(09:17):
loopholes or it technically was in a state.
Because it was like a Commonwealth or something, yeah.
So in 2022 they actually voted to abolish their counties that
they had, and now they have planning regions.
Wow, that's the worst one. That is worse than counties.
Like come up with something better honestly.
So you gotta do. Just like by name or does it
(09:39):
function differently? No, no.
So they function as as like county governments, but they're
just called planning regions. They just didn't like the name.
All voted for that. That had to be voted.
Yeah, it was like the legislature passed it.
Yeah. So let's.
Do a worse name. Cameron, what are you doing?
Cameron. Cameron Why?
Blame solely on camera. But they know how to make a
(09:59):
pizza. OK.
Do you? Not know about New Haven pizza?
We'll just let that hang on waitfor the pizza episode cuz New
Haven pizza is like the best I. Didn't know that was like a
thing. It's a huge thing.
It's like we'll get to it on a pizza episode one of these days.
All right, moving on from New Haven Pizza.
(10:20):
All right, question three. What?
This is a multiple choice question, but like I said, if
you want to guess first you can and you get an extra bonus
point. Question three, what is the most
common county name? OK, Aiden Washington.
Good job. Yeah, you get Washington two
points for you. Want to take a stab at how many
(10:41):
states? Is this not round one?
No extra point cuz no multiple choice.
Yes, cuz he got. Completely we got you even had
multiple choices. Just with the whole round.
Three, remember. Oh yeah, that's the real
surprise is he said. It wasn't going to be a multiple
choice until round 3, but it's. I never expected this.
(11:05):
I think it's I. Think it's 49 states.
I think there's one state that doesn't do it, Alaska.
That's. Actually do very high so that
it's 31. Oh, OK.
Yeah, all the presidents. Those are super common, Jackson.
There's Is there a Washington County, Washington?
That's a good question. Answer that.
I don't think so. I don't think so off the top of
(11:26):
my head. Let me double.
Check. You.
There's not a Washington County.Washington.
Wow. What?
There's a puzzle. There is.
You there is a puzzle in there. You wouldn't know Washington
County, I mean that's a suburb of close to Mainzburg, right?
Yeah. OK.
Good job, Aiden. Thanks.
Question 4. What state has the most counties
(11:47):
I mean. Not Burroughs.
Not Burroughs. Why have counties?
Is this one multiple choice Sam or is it 50 multiple choice
options? Sure it's 50 multiple options.
Please don't make. Me read them all.
Texas, yes, your intuition was right, actually kind of by far.
(12:12):
So Texas has 254 counties, Georgia's next closest at only
159. So.
Georgia and there's far in between people.
Yeah. So The thing is, is most Western
states, so like Arizona is a great example, pretty big state,
but has like enormous counties. Texas though, like the Panhandle
(12:33):
has counties that are the size of like Indiana's counties.
So that's just square after square for some reason, like and
counties that have like 40 people in it, right.
Wow. So I don't.
It's just why. It's a close.
Knit, Yeah. Why would you do that?
Why? I'm in the county that so Ed and
I were driving the other week and I saw a sign of entering
(12:56):
Kern County are. You in Kern County?
Yeah. Oh, I don't know why I thought
you were in San Bernardino. No.
OK, but San Bernardino is even bigger?
It is, yeah, but. Kern entered Kern County and
then there was another hour and a half of driving before we got
home. That's crazy.
And I'm like in the middle of the county.
That's not like 1 county to the other side.
(13:16):
Yeah. That's crazy.
It's like a big county, and it'snot even the biggest.
Crazy on a question, What is thebiggest county?
Well, that kind of leads me intothe next question, but it's it's
actually not by land. Let's question 5.
Let's. What is the largest county by
population? LA County.
(13:36):
Yes, good job. Cooper, I am.
You have buzz before the buzz. I mean, if it's not by land then
what would you possibly say? Yeah, that's fair.
I didn't. Even know about the least
intense. City.
Do you know the approximate approximate population of it,
Cooper? I don't, I just know that the
county itself has more people than like a lot of states.
(14:00):
I think it's 350 million. That's big number.
No, it's, it's just a little bitshort of 10 million, so 9.76
million. Wow, yeah. 350 million is like
all of the. Baby.
(14:23):
Guys, what if we all put aside our differences and we became 1
borough? The rocks.
What is Connecticut's thing called?
The planning region, is it one planning?
Region. 1. Planning region.
Planning region. It just rolls off the tongue.
(14:44):
True. Oh yeah, yeah.
The United Planning Region of America.
United Planning Region Singular of America.
We all. Plan.
To get up there. It's just one planning region.
E Pluribus Plan United we Plan divided we.
(15:05):
In the plan we trust. Wait, what is it?
Planning area? Planning Planning region.
I think we've got our mileage out.
Of that. So keep going, keep going.
You get one cuz that was yeah. Are you kidding me?
Well, it was multiple choice outof all 500 whatever question you
(15:25):
exist with you. This question isn't over yet,
though there's some still available.
Does anyone know any of the other top five most populous
counties? You get one point each if you
can guess. Chicago County, we were buzzing.
The County of Chicago. Whatever one that said, Cooper,
did you have one? I forget exactly what county it
(15:45):
is, but there's one outside. You have to be able to name the
county, you can't just say the one outside.
There's one outside Washington DC that I know has a butt ton of
people. I think it's a metric.
Butt ton actually metric Is it Fairfax?
Yeah, you might be thinking of Fairfax or like Montgomery,
Maryland has a lot Prince George's Maryland, but none of
(16:08):
those are in the top five actually in the DC Metro.
Are we taking Chicago County as?An answer you don't know what
county Chicago is in. I may have forgotten.
Let's rack the brain, Nick. Let's rack it up.
All right, so the other Cassidy,do you have 1 Cassidy?
Cassidy, the Dean County. For.
Chicago Rocks. For the borough.
(16:31):
Chicago's in Cook County Cook. County online Cook County.
No, no, I got that. So they both started to see no.
Watching 10 County. So Cook County, 2nd place, 5.18
million people. Harris County, Texas, that's
where Houston is, is third, justover 5 million.
(16:52):
Maricopa County, Arizona, it's aone that comes around every
couple years for elections 4.67 million and then you.
Say that word before. I know it's like a Maricopa
incoming is like an election, you know, phrase.
And then San Diego rounds out the top five with 3.3 million.
Is it called San Diego County? Yep.
(17:12):
So California needs to. And you're laughing at Chicago
County. You laugh.
There's president. There's president.
I think they named it Cook County because of the bear
actually. Because.
Because they're cooking. Is that it?
Is that true? Bonus.
Point. No, I don't know.
I don't think it's. OK, yo, don't bear.
(17:35):
So with question 5 done, let's get an update on round one
points. 4 is the juicers I'm holding up.
OK, Cooper's two kess, it has one lit.
OK, now it's time for our audience question.
Oh, did they just insert this here or whatever?
Hi everyone. It's Steve Gornacki here for a
Bus 1 audience question. You've been enjoying the show.
(17:57):
In the episode, make sure to press on all those buttons like
I do on my board. Follow us on your preferred
podcast player, rate US five stars and smash that like
button. All righty, we got a fun
audience question for you because you know, I like
counties. If you watched my coverage of
the 2024 election, you may know that President Trump won 2633 of
(18:18):
the nation's 3144 counties, accounting for 84%.
Whoa. But here's my question.
Who was the most recent Democratic presidential
candidate to carry a majority ofcounties?
Again, who was the most recent Democratic presidential
candidate to carry a majority ofcounties?
(18:39):
Was it Al Gore, Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, FDR, or Jimmy
Carter? One more time, Was it Al Gore,
Lyndon Johnson? Bill Clinton, FDR or Jimmy
Carter? Make sure to send in your answer
in the comments under the episode or on our Instagram at
(19:00):
Bus 1 Trivia. Can't wait guys.
Moving on to Level 2, these questions are worth 2 points
apiece. Let's begin with question six.
OK, as you might guess, our county system can trace its
roots back to England's counties, which themselves date
back to the Middle Ages. Which of the following is not
(19:24):
one of England's 48 counties? Here we go.
Guess someone guess. Right, Washington.
Probably. LA County, Chicago, Chicago.
Chicago County. They don't got one of those.
(19:45):
OK, so we all get points, right?Here we go.
I haven't read the list yet. Oh, OK, so.
What's the following this out ball in the choice?
So it's actually 3. Points Which of the following is
not one of the 48 counties, Yorkshire, Westminster, Devon,
Buckinghamshire or Leicestershire?
(20:08):
Wow, that was an aggressive buzzKessen.
Kessen, I like heard the space bar.
That was awesome. We're going to go
Leicestershire. That actually is one of their
counties, Dang. Bro hasn't been to
Leicestershire. Don't show your face in.
Westminster. That's correct.
(20:29):
That was my throw off answer, yeah.
But it's a British word. I was, I mean, that's like a.
Violently British word. So have you ever watched Map
Men? Map men.
Map Men. Welcome to Map Men.
We're the men. And here's the map.
Map Men. Map men.
Map map, Map men. There was a whole episode on
(20:56):
like the different. Well, pretty much every episode
is about the different counties of England, so I honestly know
more about counties, Yeah. Hey Sam Episode.
Is Round 2 all English counties?Sorry, Sam, I think I'm gonna
challenge that one because isn'tthere an area in West like in
(21:17):
London? Don't they have like a separate
government in Westminster? And then there's like the City
of London? I don't know if that's counties,
but. You're and you're asking.
Me a whole bunch of hypotheticalquestions that I cannot answer.
And I'm challenging this question.
Bam. Damn, play the sound effect.
No. Damn, that would have been.
(21:38):
Huge. So you.
Put me in a food coma. So.
So Westminster is devolved from the City of London, but it is
not devolved from the county. So it's its own London is like.
There's London, and then there'sthe City of London.
Right. So the county government still
governs Westminster, but yes, like there's this.
So like there's a constituency, the Cities of London and
(22:00):
Westminster there's it's like 3000 people because it's just
like the Houses of Parliament plus a little bit.
Yeah, so. Good guess.
OK, an informed blunder on my informed blunder.
You know too. Much, I think honestly, that's
probably that's a classic aided moment is.
Thinking you know a lot. Yeah, it was a good guess.
(22:20):
Well, thinking I'm just. That's the class thing.
Like I'm actually and then just being wrong.
Hey, I'm still those are extra Bus one point trivia right now.
Wow. Moving on to question 7.
As the introduction alluded to, Loving County, Texas is the
(22:41):
least populous county in the United States, with a population
density of just 0.064 people persquare mile.
Wow, closest winds. What is Loving County's
population? Oh, that's like a fun little
unit conversion problem. Let's see.
(23:04):
Smallest. County by land or population.
Smallest county by population. This big on a map?
I'm only assuming it's about this big.
And you're asking how big is it by area?
No, I'm asking how many people live in the county.
So when am I supposed to figure out the area?
(23:27):
That was a pointless statistic, just to demonstrate how sparse
it is. I'm gonna say that it's.
OK, well, I will let Cooper guess first.
Did he buzz? Buzzed in Yes.
I'm guessing that it's just one extended family just evenly
spread out across this one county 15.
OK, Aiden. So you said it was .06 something
(23:52):
per square mile? So there are people there, yes.
It's not 0.064 people per squaremile.
So that means it has to be at least I'm just gonna say 64
people. I think the math, maths.
OK, Kesson. 80 people. Wow.
(24:15):
OK, cut me off again. Actually, Aiden by a little bit
is the closest. It's 43.
Wow, wow, 43 How big is it? I don't know do the math in the
grand scheme of things. So it's kind of on the like the
corner of New Mexico. It sits like right there in
Texas, if you can kind of envision that.
(24:36):
So it's not a very big county. Rotate Texas in your.
And what's funny is so men Tony,the county seat, which is where
we're going in this episode, hasa population of 20.
So that's a a metropolis I guessof.
All half of the county population.
Right. I know it's huge so.
(24:57):
It's pretty much a planning areaat that point.
Well, Sam, I'm on the edge of mycounty seat for how the rest of
this trivia gets. I love.
That that is herbs case. We're tuning into bus trivia.
That's wait, really? I can't do that.
What? Do you mean you?
Can't do We've already established that you living in a
(25:18):
Giant county is the tiebreaker. Yeah, jokes are point.
It is. I'm serious.
It's been established these are.They've actually been part of
the rules all along, it's just if there is a tie, it goes to
the largest county. Well, everyone knows like I
honestly like that as an addition to the standard.
(25:40):
Rule so the puzzle. Does me like.
Just. I I'm always going to go for a
tie, then it's hard to beat me. That's true.
One of us has kind of moved to we're all going to move.
Across country and it's like psych the use Burrows.
As an idiot, Cameron's like no my planning conditions region.
(26:03):
Planning Regions Question 8 As we established earlier, there
are 3144 counties and county equivalents in the United
States. However, a huge number of these
counties have almost no people living in them.
This question needs a little bit.
I need you to visualize. Take every single county in the
(26:25):
United States and arrange it from highest population to
lowest population. Like in a spreadsheet each
other. Stack yes, Stack no need to
rotate them in your mind. Just stack them, no rotating.
Taking the most populous counties, how many of them would
account for a majority of the USpopulation?
(26:45):
Does that make sense? Yeah.
Yeah. That's a good question.
OK, so we just named 6, right? No, we did the top five.
Yeah, plus no less. That was inside, yeah.
And there's 3000. Total, yes, just over 3000
total. And we're looking for how many
accounts for like 50.1% of the population.
(27:07):
This is per Census 2024 estimates so.
Interesting and. Closest wins here.
I got it. I'll just OK Aiden.
Got me a quick draw. I forgot what I was going to
say. I got.
It. 1010% I think 10% of the counties are.
OK. So like 300 and 10300?
(27:30):
And 10, let's just say 300, let's just call it Neiman 300.
That's what I was going to. I was going to.
Say that's what exactly what youwere going to say.
OK, Cooper, I'm. Going to go to 29 or not 20?
Nine, 209. I did 1%.
(27:51):
One, you know what I'm going to do 29, you know.
What? Suck it, I'm going to do 29.
OK. Cassid Cassid do 29.
It'd be so fun. You're going to be right.
You're going to be right. I'll.
Do. I'll do.
I'll do 429. Whoa.
(28:11):
OK, 4000. So the points are going to go to
Cooper guessing. You should have guessed 29
because I literally was saying my friend please guess 20.
I hope the. Recording takes that I
definitely get the points because I said 29 and 299.
(28:35):
Both of yours, so it's less so it's 145 counties account for
50.1% of the population. So interesting.
The remaining like, well you're pretty much three. 2999 counties
account for a minority of the USpopulation.
That's crazy. Very concentrated.
(28:55):
So in fact, the top 36 counties account for 1/4 of the
population. So wow, it it definitely falls
off. So all right.
Counties falling off well. Counties been falling off.
What happened to counties? They've really fallen off.
Taken over by these planning regions.
(29:17):
So these planning regions woke doesn't want counties anymore.
I can't have county Cosmo. That is long.
I want to babe them. It's gone so far up track so
(29:41):
fast. Got to bring him back.
To me, out of it. Count today.
Put that on a shirt, OK? It's like a vampire go today
though. We're.
Just getting further and further.
(30:03):
Drag it back. All right, Question 9.
Sibos transition in New York City.
Each borough is also a county. What county is Brooklyn?
Is it not just Brooklyn? Just.
(30:26):
Brooklyn. Wait, so each borough is not a
county named after the exact same thing necessarily?
Maybe could be? I said what I said.
Each borough is its own county. OK, Aiden, Brooklyn.
This is like a Longhorn. No, I'm.
(30:48):
Surprised you don't know that asa native.
I'm from the Bronx, baby. OK, that's Bronx County.
That's like blocks away is. It the Bronx, I'll be so upset
if it's Bronx. Is the Bronx county OK?
Thank goodness. Cooper No, sorry.
Cassid, you're next. I.
(31:08):
Was going to say Brooklyn. Is he right?
Well, take an actual guess, you know it's not.
Yeah, I. Took the fall for you.
It's not. New York's town, Yeah.
OK, good guess that's actually Manhattan, so.
OK. You're you're getting warmer,
Cooper. They have a county named after
the state. Crazy.
(31:29):
It's like. Washington not like Washington.
They do have, you know what's crazy?
Kessler will know. This is Pennsylvania has an
Indiana County, Pennsylvania. That's really nuts.
But that's like Indiana having Indiana County.
That's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous. We don't or they don't.
OK, Cooper, you. Where you getting us?
(31:50):
Cooper's going to flop, right? Here, Dodgers.
Dodgers. No, no, no, I'll go.
I'm just going to end up saying a name I think.
OK. Bryan Bryan, Bryan County.
Their name and names? No, it's like Moses.
(32:13):
I'm going to give a little. Addison.
Think of the regions surroundingBrooklyn.
It's very closely related to oneof those, like one of the other
boroughs. One of the other boroughs.
So like what's? Around Brooklyn, they got a
bridge. Bus Queens.
Bus Queens. Queens County, Is that a thing?
(32:35):
What's your answer? They didn't say bus Queens
Queens County. You think Brooklyn is in Queens
County? Just to clarify.
Fool. That's not not anymore, but you
have a good idea. On the right track, you're on
the right. Track.
So you're saying it it's named after a neighboring borough?
Not named after I just said closely related to.
(32:57):
Kings County, Yes, that was a total bit.
Don't give me points. Give Cooper.
Points. OK, Cooper gets the point.
Because you buzzed and you. Used it.
I used it and I just was the appen.
And that's the so the Brooklyn is in Kings County.
(33:19):
So what is that related to Queens?
It's related to Queens, Yeah, I think Queens.
Kings, I mean. Kings and Queens ball from
Enchanted. You you just really like went in
on Aiden for like you think it'sQueen Aiden County.
I'm more kidding trying to. Give a hint.
Yeah. So, so Manhattan is New York, NY
(33:42):
County, obviously the Brooklyn is Kings County, Queens is just
Queens County, Bronx is the Bronx County.
And then does anyone know StatenIsland?
That's not Staten Island County,so.
Basically New Jersey. County, basically.
No, it's Richmond County. Totally.
Random I think I heard. Of that, what about Long Island?
(34:06):
So Long Island I don't. You know Nassau County, right?
Yeah, there know Nassau. And then Suffolk County is like
the Hamptons and everything elsethat's out there.
So see I. I know all these names and I
have no clue what they were. Like it's one of those they're
just mumbling around and you're like if.
You say NASA, I'm like, OK, yeah, totally.
But I didn't know that was a county unlock all.
(34:29):
Right, we've got one question left to round out round two, and
then it. Gets.
And then it gets crazy, yes. The surprise surprise.
Stay tuned. Hold on to your freaking county
seats, listeners. Question 10.
It's undoubtable that there are some very weird county names.
(34:51):
Which of the following is a realcounty name?
RoboCop, RoboCop, OK Butts, Yolo, Bourbon Mussel Shell, or
Pocahontas. Only one of those is only.
(35:13):
One of those is real. Oh, only one of them is real.
Yes. Oh, I was going the complete
opposite. Uh oh.
Let's think Aiden Bourbon. Nope.
Sorry. Really, that one makes sense
because bourbon is do. Bourbon is a city, isn't it?
Do they call like areas of Kentucky, Bourbon County,
(35:36):
Bourbon country? That's what I'm thinking of.
I mean, it is whatever. Yeah, the Kentucky would be a
good guess, actually for where Bourbon County would be.
I mean, hey, so Kassid, you're up next.
Butts. Butts is not a real county.
Name. Hold on, so bourbon whiskey is
named after? There's a place in Kentucky
(35:59):
named Bourbon, I think. OK, the county doesn't have to
be named. It's not a county.
It's just like after the city, right?
It's just like games. Maybe bourbon.
Kentucky isn't. The other one was Yolo.
Yeah, so the ones left are Yolo,Mussel Shell and Pocahontas.
Gotta be mussel mussel shell. That's correct.
(36:21):
Good job. No way you.
Came up with mussel shell. Do you know where mussel shell?
What state that's in? Maine.
Good guess at Montana, actually.Where they don't have Marvel
guests, Yeah. So.
Where they're all scrawny, walking around like twigs.
Yeah, it's super weird history. So created in the county was
(36:44):
created in 1911. Named after the Musselshell
River apparently, which the river was named that in 1805 by
the Lewis and Clark Expedition due to the abundance of
freshwater mussels found along its banks.
Oh, I didn't know Montana had waters.
Yeah. Isn't that crazy?
(37:06):
And then they named me some. Montana Mussels.
That's. Crazy.
Yes, should be their state slogan.
That should be a shirt. Not taken out of context.
And it's Lewis and Clark eating mussels.
Oh yeah. Just have a shirt where it's
Lewis and Clark eating muscles. That's.
(37:27):
The shirt, yeah, everyone would get the rest.
I love these the Montel. Muscles, and it's Lewis.
Little do our contestants know that this was the fake answer.
Looks like they were fooled thistime.
(37:48):
I actually was at the I was in Kentucky recently and or is like
the Indiana Kentucky border and they I was at the spot where
they met up to go on their expedition.
Oh. That's very cool.
OK, let's get an update on points 'cause we're done with
Round 2. I have dropped from 4:00 to
3:00. So in that Extravia game, that's
(38:09):
what. They still have one.
Yeah. I didn't know this round.
Trivia come alive. Let me tell you.
If if I'm counting the the two points that it was just like
give to Cooper anyway, I have 10ohh.
My God and the big county tiebreaker on his side.
(38:30):
Let me. Say though so once we get to
round three it's it's anyone's game truly.
I know we always say that for grabs on the low end, yes.
So I mean, it's it's gonna get crazy so.
Wait, what? On the low end.
It's up in low end. How?
Many. How many?
Extra points are you gonna have in this round?
So Level 3 this is. This is for all the marbles.
(38:54):
Big ones. Welcome to our county
pronunciation extravaganza. Extravaganza, huh?
This so Level 3 is going to have8 rounds it's going to go quick
what it's. So round 3 has 8 rounds in it.
(39:18):
It's like boroughs. It's like boroughs recursive
rounds. They're.
Planning regions. They're planning rounds.
Yes, Level 3 has. 8 planning regions.
There you go. So wait.
For each level, I'm going to privately send each of you one
county name. So each level they're kind of
related, so they're in like a certain region or a state.
(39:41):
You get one chance to correctly pronounce it for all of us, and
if you do, you get 3 points. If you incorrectly pronounce it,
the other players get an opportunity to steal, and if
they correctly pronounce it, they get one point I like.
This. I like this.
Does that make sense? OK, yes, we'll walk through once
(40:04):
again. OK, make sure you have your
texts open because here we go. The first round is some lovely
counties in the great state of Michigan.
Pure Michigan is gonna. Have to read it out loud.
OK. Are you gonna send it in our
group? Chat.
No, I'm gonna privately text youso.
You don't think Siri could say these, correct?
(40:26):
No, definitely not. I have Irish Syria.
Cooper's reaction says it all. Now some of these, don't be LED
astray, are pronounced the way you think they would be so, but
some of them are not so. So don't overthink it.
Take some time. Unless you do need to, right?
(40:50):
So take some time. Ready.
OK, sure. So Cooper, I have like a pre
established order, but that's fine.
Cooper year first, it's like. OK, I'm just gonna let it flow
naturally so everybody knows of everyone's favorite.
Hold on time. Before so so for all the
(41:11):
listeners so we can so we can follow Cooper's pronunciation.
Why you printed and cut the house?
Yeah, that's. Don't need to do it in post,
That's good. OK, Everyone's favorite county,
Keweenaw count. Keweenaw, Michigan.
OK. Aiden, you're Michigan.
(41:31):
Aiden, you're next. For my actual one or to steal
Cooper's terrible one, this is Aiden's here.
OK, so I think it's the kind of thing where like the French were
coming down and they named it something in French, and then
over time it got Anglicized. So I think it's Presque Isle,
MI. OK.
And then finally from to round up Michigan Kessid.
(41:53):
This is, I think it's Jovic Michigan.
Jovic. Yeah.
You're all wrong. Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
All right, so we're just gonna pass it in a circle, right?
So does anyone want to steal? I mean, I'll try both of them.
Yeah, I'll try them, OK. Yeah, yeah.
So let's deal. Yes, please.
(42:14):
No downside, right? So mind if I did?
So let's start with kessids. Aiden Cooper, you you could take
stabs. I'd rather take Aiden.
There's no we could do both, right?
Yes, Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Go Jabek. Okay, that's closer than Kessen
was, but no. Joe Gabik, that's the tennis
(42:34):
player. So you're thinking of the.
Tennis, so this is pronounced. BIC.
Okay, you're getting a little closer.
Gogebic. Gogebic County isn't that nice,
that is. Not bad.
That's no point. It's the.
Westernmost county in the Upper Peninsula.
(42:54):
That's what I. Obscure Gogebic.
OK, Gogebic, I believe this was Aiden, so Cooper and Cassidy
could try to steal. I was just going to say Presque
Isle. That's what I was going to say.
OK, funny. So the county seat of this
county is indeed pronounced Presque Isle.
However, the county itself, however the county is pronounced
(43:18):
Presquille County. Presquille I had that thought
and thought that was the most ridiculous thing and I threw it
out. No.
But your whole thing about, oh, it's French and it got English
size. I was like, he's got.
Oh. Fuck.
Damn. Then finally Cooper's so Aiden
and Cassidy can work on this one.
What? What did Cooper say?
Kewana. Kewana Kawina.
(43:40):
Yeah, Kiwaniwina, that's actually Castle.
That might be it. I don't.
Know Aiden, do you have one? I said Kawina, okay.
What's so funky about this one is the single E is pronounced as
E. Quena.
And the EE is pronounced as an E.
(44:01):
So it's Keweenaw. So it's Keweenaw, yes.
Isn't that crazy? So that is the northernmost
county in Michigan. So like Isle Royal, like up
there by Minnesota, that's part of it.
It's like 2000 people live there.
And no points for that. Any.
No points for that. Question with three rounds in
(44:23):
that planning region within rounds 3.
Planning inside a question? Yeah.
OK. All right.
Moving on to the next round, we've got some upper Midwest
ones. So this is Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Wisconsin, Yeah, I know that.
So let me I'll start with Kessetfirst.
(44:44):
So yeah, I guess I could just hold them up.
You see it for the first? No, I like this one.
Just see. It you shouldn't show it to us,
but you shouldn't show it until after we do the first
pronunciation. OK, my God, that is.
I can't even make sense of this in my parade.
(45:04):
I love these words cuz they're like how about some more vowels?
Just yeah. What in the world?
So Kess has got the one from Minnesota and then Cooper and
Aiden each have a Wisconsin. So yeah, right, a Wisconsin.
Wisconsin, OK. What's the order?
KESSID. All right, all right.
(45:26):
Here. Here we go.
Here it is the. Build up is OK. 123.
Candy Yoee. Minnesota Candy.
Yo. Yoee, it goes crazy.
OK. Cooper, Manitowoc.
Wow. OK.
And then Aiden. I'm saying trempe, Lou.
(45:50):
OK, no. So I'm damn Cooper was the
closest. I'll say that.
OK, OK, so let's start. Manitowoc.
Let's start with kessids. So Aiden.
Cooper, you get a. Guess on this I'm blocking the Y
what? Did Kesset say?
Candy Yohi. Yeah, Kesset said.
Candy Yohi, which is is pretty darn close.
(46:12):
Candy Yohi. Good job, Cooper.
Wow. Wow. 1 candy go steel.
Wow, that's crazy. Cooper gets a point for that.
Oh Jesus, he's pulling away. He's.
Pulling away with it. Away, Cooper.
OK. Oh, so Cooper's is next?
You're not gonna get. What do you OK?
I did a refresher. What He said.
Cooper, what'd you say? Manitowoc.
(46:34):
And that's what I would have probably gone.
With I know what I would say. Second Manitowoc.
Manitowoc. We can't have Manitowoc because
two woke. Is it Manitowoc?
So you're overthinking the OS. Oh, so it's Manitowoc?
Manitowoc. Manitowoc, Man is a.
(46:55):
Manitowoc, man, I need a walk. And then Aiden's.
Aiden's is a doozy this round. So.
Guys love it. Triple Owl.
Okay, Kesson. Whoa, yeah.
Right. I saw those easy days.
I was like, I don't know, trampoline.
(47:16):
Trampoline. There you go.
That's good. Okay, what's crazy about this
one is it's pronounced trampolo.Trump.
Below I was debating. Between an O or an O satin on
the end, Dang. So okay, so that round Cooper
gets one from the steel for candy Ohi County, Minnesota.
That's. Crazy.
Moving on to round three, we're going up to Washington State
(47:39):
baby Washington. What's it said be Washington?
OK, so Kessid. Oh my God.
Oh my God. I'm trying to be generous and
give eight in the French ones, so.
You know, fucking Butcher. You're welcome, man.
You're. Welcome.
Yeah. All right, all right.
(47:59):
Here we go. Here.
We go. I'm just gonna try to take a run
up at this. Make it natural.
Make it natural. Don't overthink it, OK?
Snohomish. You're such a.
You're so smart. I'm such so smart.
Sorry, did. You get it, Yes, Well, so.
It's I mean, I just read it Snohomish.
(48:20):
Snohomish. Yep.
Snohomish County, just north of just north of King County, where
Seattle is. Yeah.
How many you got next? You get 3 for that.
Holy shit. Come on, guys.
OK, Cassid Wakiakum. No, Aiden.
So I'm I'm just gonna go full French on this one pond O re.
(48:41):
Full French. Pond O re.
I'm gonna give it to you so cuz they so they say so they say.
Ponderay or something they. Say yes they say Ponderay,
Ponderay County and then Kess does.
Do you guys want to take a stab?Kess is a meme this round.
Not wanna huck a loogie. So it's Wakayakum wyakum.
(49:06):
Slash. Beautiful county right there,
right in the southeast Washington.
So pretty right along the Oregonborder.
Wakayakum excuse. Me scenic Wakayakum County, OK,
so Wakayakum County. Come to.
Come county. OK, So moving on to round four,
(49:30):
we're going to be out West for these ones.
I'm like washing Aiden. Kern.
Yeah, I'm kind of out right. Well, that's your.
In Cooper's out oh, it's pronounced Kern.
Oh, it's. Kern County, in.
Utah. Yes, we got 2 in Utah, one in
Arizona. Cooper, you are up.
(49:52):
First, OK, maybe I'm I feel likeI've heard of this one, maybe
not. I would say Thule.
Nope, Sorry, Aiden, I'm. Going to say Duquesne, Utah.
Close, but no cigar. Damn.
And then KESSID, Coco, Nino, Arizona.
(50:15):
Yes. Wow.
Let's go. So, Coco.
Nino So we'll start with that. It's I'm I'm giving you some
grace on these because like they're they're tough.
So Coconino County, OK, that's where Flagstaff is beautiful
Northern Arizona, Sedona and thelike.
So Nino Canino, Cassidy get three points for that.
So moving on and let's do Coopers.
(50:36):
So Aiden and Cassidy get a stab.At that, I would say so.
What'd you say? I said Thule.
That's what I probably do. Too well.
Cats a good guess. That's what I was, said second.
Aiden, what tool? OK.
So it's actually Tuilla hasn't? That ever gotten that in a
millionaires? Tuilla.
Tuilla County. Ella.
(50:58):
OK. And then this was Aiden's.
He was pretty close. But Kassad Cooper, you get a
stab. What it what it said?
Duquesne because that's how like, you know, like Duquesne
University or. Duquesne.
Duchesne is it? Duchesne is it like?
Duchesne or something? No.
So it's just Duchesne. Duchesne, OK.
(51:19):
Isn't that what I just said? Oh, did you?
I didn't. I didn't hear that.
Roll the clip you already would like.
Duchain. I might as well duchain.
I think you might have. Said Duchesne.
That would be a. Heck of a rapper named Duchenne.
Do do it. Shane So it's Duchene super
weird cuz like Duquesne is how you say the university, which is
(51:40):
yeah, yeah. It's got a little bit different
too. So now for this one, we're
headed back to the industrial heartland.
We've got some Ohio and Pennsylvania ones.
Sometimes in Cleveland, I feel Ifelt like it would be unfair to
give Kessa the loan. Pennsylvania.
So he's getting in Ohio, Cleveland.
Okay. Sounds like Kessen knows that I.
(52:01):
Think I think I do, but I'm gonna look like an idiot if I
don't know, okay? It's okay, I think I know it,
but we'll see. All right, so we got our order.
Let's start with Kessen. All right.
Is it Giaga, Ohio? Wow, good job.
Let me show you guys. And it does not look like it's
spelled that way. Yeah, I'm.
Giaga Wow. Wow, cuz it looks you'd think it
(52:24):
would be like Goga or Giaga. I don't know, but Giaga is
correct. Yoga.
So good job Cassidy, get 3 for that one.
OK, Aiden is next. This is making me think of the
Skylar sisters. I'm gonna say like skull kill or
something like that. Skull kill Pennsylvania.
It's close. That's close.
OK, cool. And then, Cooper, you are last.
(52:48):
I'll say Tescarawas. Oh, close, but no.
So let's do. Let's start with Aiden's.
I want. I'm interested to see if Kessen
knows this one. Sky the sky kills, Angelica
kills. Scale kill.
Wait, what did you say? Kessen Shul kill.
(53:08):
Wait, wait. What did you say, Cooper?
You're both and Peggy. Skill kill.
OK, no. So it's Skukill.
Skukill. County and then.
Finally saying school. Really weird.
I'm taking my kids to this. And this was Cooper.
(53:29):
So Aiden and Cassidy, you get a guess at this.
Did you say Tuscarawas? Is that what he said?
Tuscarawas, yeah. Tuscarawas said.
I was close. On mine.
Guessing. Do you have a guess?
Mom, change the stereo. Whis OK, so it's.
He said I was close though. So it's Tuscaroras Rs.
(53:52):
You're gonna hear me. More like RA.
RI know, even RAWA, it's Tuscaroras.
Tuscaroras County. It's where New Philadelphia.
OH, it's right there in Appalachia.
We're getting there round 6. Round 6.
We're headed to the great state of New York.
(54:12):
As we've been discussing so muchthis episode.
Sounds like Kesa does an inkling.
All right, Kesa, let's see what you got, Chautauqua.
New York. You got the.
County, precisely, but the best of New York.
New. York Yes.
(54:34):
So let me let me find this card here because you would not think
that's how it would be. But yes, so Chautauqua County,
New York, it's in Western New York State.
Oh, because it looks like it would be Chautauqua, but it's
not It's Chautauqua, but it's just Chautauqua.
You're not the. News Genesee, NY.
(54:58):
Got it. Genesee County.
Everyone's getting it. It's like Tennessee with AG
Genesee. Yes, yeah.
It's also Genesee County, Michigan, which we didn't have
earlier, but that's where Flint is.
Great city of Flint. So great city of.
Flint Cooper. Sorry, I almost revealed it.
I'm gonna say showery. No.
(55:18):
OK, showery, you're not that faroff, but you guys can steal if
you know it. Go, Harry.
Yes. Harry, Harry, the noodles we've.
(55:39):
Got a lot of points. Yeah, racking them up.
OK, so our penultimate round here, we're going to be up in
New England. Oh baby.
We still got more. How many there are 8 planning?
Regions some rounds at this point, yeah, there's.
How many questions are there left?
Who is this one question one? Oh, ma'am.
(56:01):
There's 8 per question, and there's 5.
Questions Why even play the first two rounds?
Cassidy, you're up first. We're gonna go cowos.
Not quite. OK, Aiden.
Sagatahawk, Maine. No, No.
(56:23):
I'm so that's. Exactly how it looks.
So you're laughing, but that's Iread it verbatim.
This is. Not good.
Cooper. Guys, my leg.
Gonna be bad. My third grade phonic skills are
working overtime right now. What do you wait, Sandy Cooper?
Piscataqui no, you said scatagories and all categories.
(56:46):
Categories OK, let's start with Coopers because that is a pretty
difficult 1. So Aiden and Cassidy can you can
steal here. Piscataqui's Aiden do, I guess.
I was going to say Piscataquist.Yes, so Piscataquist County,
Maine, so it's not qui as much as.
(57:07):
Scat and quiz. Piscataquist, Maine.
OK, let's do a. Deal.
Like I mean, what did? Aiden say.
Sagata Hawk like I just read it.I mean, that's what it says.
What it? Says
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.I just love.
Guess it's like inquisitive luck.
Sagatha Hawk. Yes, Sagatha Hawk.
(57:31):
So it's wow, Sagatha Hawk. Sagatha Hawk.
That is not wrong. Isn't that crazy?
Pretend that it's a. County and then say it.
Oh, what? Happened.
I've been doing. That man, I've been thinking
that as planning regions. That's why we get them wrong.
OK. And then it's like Cassids.
It's short, but you got to get it.
Did he say? Coos, what'd you say, CASSID?
(57:52):
I said Coos, I think. Coos, New Hampshire.
You think it's Cous? Like couscous?
That's. What it says, it's literally.
Reading it, Sam, it's step one. Imagine it's a county.
I'm gonna say Cush. It's that good.
Cush, New Hampshire. Oh my gosh.
(58:14):
OK. So it's Kessen was actually
pretty close. So it's Co OS I mean.
Like at that point. I would have known.
Give him the steal so. Okay, this is our last round.
Wow, we're headed. What a journey it's been.
Yeah, what a journey it's been. Here we go.
Aiden, depending on how you say this, you might need to break
out the emergency bleeps, okay? I'm going last goofer.
(58:43):
We got our start. Thinking on exactly how I'm, I
keep switching between things. OK Cassid, this is this is
extremely hard. I'll just work.
Man OK Talia Farrow, Georgia. OK, a totally valid guess, but
no OK. Cooper OK Boda tour Virginia No.
(59:03):
No. And then Aiden, the one we've
all been waiting. For Virginia.
Tell me I'm wrong. Tell I read it.
I'm literally read it. You're not thinking about what
is what the county would be. I'm just reading, I'm just
starting it. Ohh the fucker planning region.
(59:27):
Those fuckers that. I.
OK, so let's go back through. So this is Kesson's.
I will say he his pronunciation is not close and it's totally
understandable. So what?
OK, Kesson, say what you said again.
Talia Farrow, that's exactly howI said.
Taliafro OK, you're not going tobelieve this one, Toliver.
(59:51):
What Noah's? Does challenge challenge?
No, I already told you guys. Like reading this, there's no
like rhymes with Oliver, Like like Don Oliver, Yes, like
that's how you say. It that's actually crazy.
Like they're just making it up at that point.
Aiden went last so we got Coopers next if you want if
(01:00:13):
Aiden or Kesset wants to challenge.
I think Boat Tort was pretty good actually.
Cooper Boat. Tort, I didn't say.
Boat Tort, what'd you say? I said boda tour.
I'm say boat tort, boat tort, Virginia boda tort.
Oh, Kesset's close. So you don't pronounce the last
R, so it's boda tot. Oh boda tot.
That's weird. That's OK.
(01:00:34):
Why don't people just spell things how they are?
Why don't you just? Need what you now show them
mine, Sam. Yeah, it's just FUCKER Virginia.
So this is fucker Virginia I think.
I read the card. What's crazy is is there's.
(01:00:56):
Like 2. There's like 2 words you have to
stay away from in this word, which is crazy.
So OK, Cassidy of a guest thick choir.
Thick. Wire thick.
Honestly, based on the last two totally valid guests.
So it's actually pronounced fockier, like hang out I was.
Close. So it's like, oh, you Fock ears.
(01:01:18):
That's like an accent. So if I said it in an accent, I
would have been right. Yes.
So it's fockier County right outside DC, OK.
Right outside. So we still have the challenge
question to do, but I'm interested in where everyone is
standing currently. And you have 11 because you have
10. Oh my gosh, Cooper is like 18.
(01:01:39):
Oh. That's OK.
Oh, but Aiden already guessed the challenge.
Yeah, no. So I can't win.
Kessing can win, though. OK, can win.
OK, do. I wanna go.
Through OK, I can go through. I will say it's not, I didn't
mispronounce any of the countiesintentionally.
That would be awesome though. Actually, it is fucker Jeff you.
(01:02:00):
Better believe it. That would just be, we mean we
have to go back through 24 counties and we're like.
Oh, did he? OK.
So they repeated all the questions so they could remember
what they were. Any guesses?
I know they're also the Numbers Honey episode.
If I had not let Cooper have those two points and he loses,
(01:02:20):
then I could beat him. I made a crave mistake.
The way that was decisive and you're like, yeah, let him have.
AI didn't deserve it, but Cooperdidn't need it.
Honestly, the Kings County one is the one I'm thinking.
OK. Now I don't want to do that.
(01:02:41):
I'm not gonna have a visible reaction.
I know, I know. I mean, you've had.
Some it's potato. That's true during the
pronunciation how those are not too so.
You know what I'm actually gonnado?
The population of the small of the lowest population.
Of Loving County, OK. Kessing Love.
Loving County. I'll do.
(01:03:04):
I don't know. I was thinking the one where the
states that don't use counties. That's an interesting one.
Are you locking that in? Yeah.
OK. So unfortunately you're both
wrong. Do do we want to keep going?
Keep going. Wait, we're at hours 15 into
this one. All right.
(01:03:25):
I'll just announce it. So.
So it was actually question 10 saying which of these are real.
County Muslims are. They all.
Real. They're all real.
So bourbon. County is real.
So. I knew Pat.
That's the one I was. I was like, there was something.
I was, I was so so you guys. Were no, you guys were like
dancing around it truly. I was like, oh geez, they got me
(01:03:47):
figured out. So.
Yeah. So.
Butts County, Georgia, right outside Atlanta.
I'm surprised you didn't know Yolo County, California.
That's not really in your neck of the woods, but ish Central
Central Valley, Bourbon County, Kentucky.
You were right on the money and it.
Is the IT is a county. Damn it.
(01:04:07):
And then I knew. Bourbon County whiskey was named
after I got gas like. So hard by Sam there so.
I'm like, oh wait, it doesn't happen.
Bourbon County, me thinking no, that it really is.
Yeah. Jeez, Lord.
So those are all really. I remember being sussed.
In the moment, but when you readit back, I didn't remember that
I was sussing at that one. The muscles is real.
We can make the shirt. And stop it muscle shell County
(01:04:29):
Montana is real. I just felt like that sounded
the. Fun Luther Clark eating muscles
and you guys gotta love those Minnesota muscles.
Gotta love those Montana. Sorry, Montana.
Ridiculous. We would.
Never hear the end of it. If it was, if we put Minnesota
muscles, we'd get. Sued to do oblivion.
All right, so I think on that, on those numbers, Cooper has
(01:04:51):
been crowned Master of County. Keeps it out.
Excellent job and excellent job.Kessid Yeah, first time doing
very well. I mean that pronunciation round

Welcome aboard Bus 1. We're on our way to Mentone,
Texas, and we've got some time to kill.
Let's play some trivia, gamers. Introduce yourselves.
What's up, everyone? It's Aiden.
I'm Cooper. Hello I am Kessid.
(00:39):
KESSID. It's KESSID so everyone welcome
the one and only Kessid AKA K Dub to the pod.
Well, that's a new. 1. Guys is it just me or does it
smell like up kessid in here? What's what's up, Kessing?
(01:00):
What is up Kessing? I guess the sky.
Welcome. Wow.
Good answer. Good answer.
Truly profound. OK that I know that location
doesn't give away a lot, but does anyone have a guess as to
what our topic might be? Did you say it one more time?
Say. You said the location was.
It so, yeah. So it's a it's a town in Texas
(01:20):
called Mentone, Texas. Man Tony.
Tony Soprano. The Mafia.
Good guess. OK, OK.
Men, Tony. Men.
Men, Tony. Men, Men.
Tony Men named Tony Men. Oh.
(01:45):
Tony the tiger, Tony said. Morning, Tony.
Tony the Tiger Say if I do a Mennamed Tony episode, I'm stealing
this small town. Fair.
Yeah, yeah, I I don't think it would be used for anything else.
So as you will figure out later,though, this is closely related
to the topic. The topic for this week is
counties. I know. 3 space OK, I should
(02:17):
have known yeah for of all Sam'stopics to choose right So.
I think I only know the county that I am in currently and the
county that Kesson is in good the.
County I'm in is really big, yes.
That might come up later in the game, no?
OK, do we get a? Point for how big my count is.
(02:39):
That'll be the tiebreaker. Do I have to?
Pull up a little map and click on the counties and then no.
OK. OK.
That is Sam and his free time. I will I.
Will not I? Could do that here.
OK, what is the Oh, it's counties.
Sorry, it's. Counting, all right, counting
like 123. 1. 2-3 Tony Soprano All righty The rules for this
(03:07):
game are as follows. There are going to be 3 levels.
The 1st 2 levels will be the typical bus 1 fare.
Level 1 questions are worth one point, Level 2 questions are
worth 2 points. But for round three, you are in
for a surprise. For particularly difficult
questions, I will give multiple choice options.
However, if you're able to guessthe correct option before the
(03:28):
options are read, you'll receiveone point in addition to the
full point value of the question.
Players, please keep track of your own points and as usual, no
Googling. Also, there will be a single
challenge question in the game where I will give a fake answer
to the question. Once per game, each player can
challenge what I say is the correct answer.
(03:50):
If a player correctly challengesthe fake answer, they are
awarded A whopping 3 points. However, if they incorrectly
challenge a correct answer, theylose 3 points.
Multiple players can challenge the same question, and whoever
buzzes in first and answers correctly gets the points for
each question. With that out of the way, let's
(04:11):
start the game. Let's get into counties.
Oh, I'm so. Excited.
I was. I was really confused for a
second, Sam, because you said round 3 is a surprise and then
started describing multiple choice.
I was like, that's not a surprise when you're talking
about multiple choice. We've done multiple choice
before. Surprise I.
Just came up with this. New thing?
(04:31):
It's like for your. Response.
But you have a limited number ofthings you can make it a.
Little bit easier. So I'm ready for the surprise.
I'm keeping it a surprise because I want to keep the
listeners on their, you know, the edge of their seats.
So yeah, I'll announce that whenwe get to it.
The structure of round 3, but it's it's be different.
So I'm excited. OK, here we go.
So level 1, this is the the basics of counties.
(04:54):
These are worth one point apiece.
Question one, how many counties and county equivalents are in
the US? Price is right rules now.
What the heck is a county equivalent?
Pounds chips perhaps? OK.
I think that's. A different thing.
Ridiculous. Cooper, your first. 600.
(05:16):
OK, Aiden. I feel like there's like 600 in
a state. I I think Cooper's Woah, I'm
going to say 2000. OK, Kesson, I don't like that
it's. I'll go 2100, so 2. 1000. 100
Wow, that's cutting the Ogle first.
I know Sir Kessen's already justso.
(05:40):
That point's gonna go to Kessen,actually.
Wow, there's a lot of counties. We've got over 3000, so 3144
nationwide. So wow, Congrats Kassad, your
first. One point.
Congrats, Kassad. That's probably.
Going to be my only bus one point but.
Don't go bus. One point that's.
(06:02):
Why they call it Bus 1 trivia? It's cuz.
All righty, question 2. As suggested by the previous
question, there are some states that have elected not to use
counties. What are these three states?
So each of you can come up with your guess of three.
You'll get a point each. So there's three states that
(06:24):
don't use counties, so. There's 3 or 4.
What do they use? Is that a?
Is that? Places.
I feel like that kind of gives it away.
Oh yeah. No, that's interesting.
Actually, that's a good hint. Especially for one of them,
maybe not the second one, but yeah.
Come up with your 3. Post it now.
You get one point each for this OK.
(06:46):
I'm just going gut baby. I like county gut.
And you said? States right section of my gut
that is. Yes, state.
We're we're sticking to states here, sticking to territories.
I don't think Guam uses countiesor needs to.
So what about American Samoa? That sounds like the Smash.
(07:07):
Bros Announcer Void Nova Scotia No.
It's like, it's like Smash, Yeah, it's like a Prince.
Edward Island, Nova Scotia, the only incorporated.
Prince Edward Island. OK, I have 3 states Sam.
OK, we're just waiting on. OK, Cassidy, you got your three?
(07:29):
Yeah. OK, Cooper, let's hear your
three first. Going all in on Alaska, Crunch,
Montana, Hawaii. OK, you get one point.
Let's go. Does that mean I got the the
question right? No, you got one each.
One each. Cassidy, you're next.
(07:49):
I think these are all wrong, butI have Rhode Island, New
Hampshire. That's it.
Or New Hampshire. Why?
Why to say like that? New.
Hampshire, New Hampshire. New Hampshire.
Delaware. Oh good.
OK, those are all good guesses, but zero points.
How great is it? How good?
Because it could it possibly be?OK, Aiden.
(08:10):
So I think Hawaii was the one that Cooper got right, But
that's why I said Hawaii. I also said Alaska and then I
said Nebraska because they have that weird.
Election stuff. I thought about seeing Nebraska.
That's a good guess, yeah. Nebraska is just a weird state.
It's kind of weird, right? Aiden, you also get one point.
Was it Hawaii? No.
So Alaska actually uses Burroughs?
(08:32):
Oh, like new. York City baby.
I know. It's very strange, Tony.
I know. Yeah.
Tony, it makes sense. Yeah, guys, I'm from Queens,
Alaska. I'm from Alaska.
So the other two, So Louisiana uses parishes they've got.
(08:56):
They're weird with all their French influence and everything.
I hate the French food, horriblelevies.
And then we actually have a veryrecent one, so Connecticut in
2022. No.
Welcome, Connecticut, The British.
State they left and came back. You know, it's one of those
(09:17):
loopholes or it technically was in a state.
Because it was like a Commonwealth or something, yeah.
So in 2022 they actually voted to abolish their counties that
they had, and now they have planning regions.
Wow, that's the worst one. That is worse than counties.
Like come up with something better honestly.
So you gotta do. Just like by name or does it
(09:39):
function differently? No, no.
So they function as as like county governments, but they're
just called planning regions. They just didn't like the name.
All voted for that. That had to be voted.
Yeah, it was like the legislature passed it.
Yeah. So let's.
Do a worse name. Cameron, what are you doing?
Cameron. Cameron Why?
Blame solely on camera. But they know how to make a
(09:59):
pizza. OK.
Do you? Not know about New Haven pizza?
We'll just let that hang on waitfor the pizza episode cuz New
Haven pizza is like the best I. Didn't know that was like a
thing. It's a huge thing.
It's like we'll get to it on a pizza episode one of these days.
All right, moving on from New Haven Pizza.
(10:20):
All right, question three. What?
This is a multiple choice question, but like I said, if
you want to guess first you can and you get an extra bonus
point. Question three, what is the most
common county name? OK, Aiden Washington.
Good job. Yeah, you get Washington two
points for you. Want to take a stab at how many
(10:41):
states? Is this not round one?
No extra point cuz no multiple choice.
Yes, cuz he got. Completely we got you even had
multiple choices. Just with the whole round.
Three, remember. Oh yeah, that's the real
surprise is he said. It wasn't going to be a multiple
choice until round 3, but it's. I never expected this.
(11:05):
I think it's I. Think it's 49 states.
I think there's one state that doesn't do it, Alaska.
That's. Actually do very high so that
it's 31. Oh, OK.
Yeah, all the presidents. Those are super common, Jackson.
There's Is there a Washington County, Washington?
That's a good question. Answer that.
I don't think so. I don't think so off the top of
(11:26):
my head. Let me double.
Check. You.
There's not a Washington County.Washington.
Wow. What?
There's a puzzle. There is.
You there is a puzzle in there. You wouldn't know Washington
County, I mean that's a suburb of close to Mainzburg, right?
Yeah. OK.
Good job, Aiden. Thanks.
Question 4. What state has the most counties
(11:47):
I mean. Not Burroughs.
Not Burroughs. Why have counties?
Is this one multiple choice Sam or is it 50 multiple choice
options? Sure it's 50 multiple options.
Please don't make. Me read them all.
Texas, yes, your intuition was right, actually kind of by far.
(12:12):
So Texas has 254 counties, Georgia's next closest at only
159. So.
Georgia and there's far in between people.
Yeah. So The thing is, is most Western
states, so like Arizona is a great example, pretty big state,
but has like enormous counties. Texas though, like the Panhandle
(12:33):
has counties that are the size of like Indiana's counties.
So that's just square after square for some reason, like and
counties that have like 40 people in it, right.
Wow. So I don't.
It's just why. It's a close.
Knit, Yeah. Why would you do that?
Why? I'm in the county that so Ed and
I were driving the other week and I saw a sign of entering
(12:56):
Kern County are. You in Kern County?
Yeah. Oh, I don't know why I thought
you were in San Bernardino. No.
OK, but San Bernardino is even bigger?
It is, yeah, but. Kern entered Kern County and
then there was another hour and a half of driving before we got
home. That's crazy.
And I'm like in the middle of the county.
That's not like 1 county to the other side.
(13:16):
Yeah. That's crazy.
It's like a big county, and it'snot even the biggest.
Crazy on a question, What is thebiggest county?
Well, that kind of leads me intothe next question, but it's it's
actually not by land. Let's question 5.
Let's. What is the largest county by
population? LA County.
(13:36):
Yes, good job. Cooper, I am.
You have buzz before the buzz. I mean, if it's not by land then
what would you possibly say? Yeah, that's fair.
I didn't. Even know about the least
intense. City.
Do you know the approximate approximate population of it,
Cooper? I don't, I just know that the
county itself has more people than like a lot of states.
(14:00):
I think it's 350 million. That's big number.
No, it's, it's just a little bitshort of 10 million, so 9.76
million. Wow, yeah. 350 million is like
all of the. Baby.
(14:23):
Guys, what if we all put aside our differences and we became 1
borough? The rocks.
What is Connecticut's thing called?
The planning region, is it one planning?
Region. 1. Planning region.
Planning region. It just rolls off the tongue.
(14:44):
True. Oh yeah, yeah.
The United Planning Region of America.
United Planning Region Singular of America.
We all. Plan.
To get up there. It's just one planning region.
E Pluribus Plan United we Plan divided we.
(15:05):
In the plan we trust. Wait, what is it?
Planning area? Planning Planning region.
I think we've got our mileage out.
Of that. So keep going, keep going.
You get one cuz that was yeah. Are you kidding me?
Well, it was multiple choice outof all 500 whatever question you
(15:25):
exist with you. This question isn't over yet,
though there's some still available.
Does anyone know any of the other top five most populous
counties? You get one point each if you
can guess. Chicago County, we were buzzing.
The County of Chicago. Whatever one that said, Cooper,
did you have one? I forget exactly what county it
(15:45):
is, but there's one outside. You have to be able to name the
county, you can't just say the one outside.
There's one outside Washington DC that I know has a butt ton of
people. I think it's a metric.
Butt ton actually metric Is it Fairfax?
Yeah, you might be thinking of Fairfax or like Montgomery,
Maryland has a lot Prince George's Maryland, but none of
(16:08):
those are in the top five actually in the DC Metro.
Are we taking Chicago County as?An answer you don't know what
county Chicago is in. I may have forgotten.
Let's rack the brain, Nick. Let's rack it up.
All right, so the other Cassidy,do you have 1 Cassidy?
Cassidy, the Dean County. For.
Chicago Rocks. For the borough.
(16:31):
Chicago's in Cook County Cook. County online Cook County.
No, no, I got that. So they both started to see no.
Watching 10 County. So Cook County, 2nd place, 5.18
million people. Harris County, Texas, that's
where Houston is, is third, justover 5 million.
(16:52):
Maricopa County, Arizona, it's aone that comes around every
couple years for elections 4.67 million and then you.
Say that word before. I know it's like a Maricopa
incoming is like an election, you know, phrase.
And then San Diego rounds out the top five with 3.3 million.
Is it called San Diego County? Yep.
(17:12):
So California needs to. And you're laughing at Chicago
County. You laugh.
There's president. There's president.
I think they named it Cook County because of the bear
actually. Because.
Because they're cooking. Is that it?
Is that true? Bonus.
Point. No, I don't know.
I don't think it's. OK, yo, don't bear.
(17:35):
So with question 5 done, let's get an update on round one
points. 4 is the juicers I'm holding up.
OK, Cooper's two kess, it has one lit.
OK, now it's time for our audience question.
Oh, did they just insert this here or whatever?
Hi everyone. It's Steve Gornacki here for a
Bus 1 audience question. You've been enjoying the show.
(17:57):
In the episode, make sure to press on all those buttons like
I do on my board. Follow us on your preferred
podcast player, rate US five stars and smash that like
button. All righty, we got a fun
audience question for you because you know, I like
counties. If you watched my coverage of
the 2024 election, you may know that President Trump won 2633 of
(18:18):
the nation's 3144 counties, accounting for 84%.
Whoa. But here's my question.
Who was the most recent Democratic presidential
candidate to carry a majority ofcounties?
Again, who was the most recent Democratic presidential
candidate to carry a majority ofcounties?
(18:39):
Was it Al Gore, Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, FDR, or Jimmy
Carter? One more time, Was it Al Gore,
Lyndon Johnson? Bill Clinton, FDR or Jimmy
Carter? Make sure to send in your answer
in the comments under the episode or on our Instagram at
(19:00):
Bus 1 Trivia. Can't wait guys.
Moving on to Level 2, these questions are worth 2 points
apiece. Let's begin with question six.
OK, as you might guess, our county system can trace its
roots back to England's counties, which themselves date
back to the Middle Ages. Which of the following is not
(19:24):
one of England's 48 counties? Here we go.
Guess someone guess. Right, Washington.
Probably. LA County, Chicago, Chicago.
Chicago County. They don't got one of those.
(19:45):
OK, so we all get points, right?Here we go.
I haven't read the list yet. Oh, OK, so.
What's the following this out ball in the choice?
So it's actually 3. Points Which of the following is
not one of the 48 counties, Yorkshire, Westminster, Devon,
Buckinghamshire or Leicestershire?
(20:08):
Wow, that was an aggressive buzzKessen.
Kessen, I like heard the space bar.
That was awesome. We're going to go
Leicestershire. That actually is one of their
counties, Dang. Bro hasn't been to
Leicestershire. Don't show your face in.
Westminster. That's correct.
(20:29):
That was my throw off answer, yeah.
But it's a British word. I was, I mean, that's like a.
Violently British word. So have you ever watched Map
Men? Map men.
Map Men. Welcome to Map Men.
We're the men. And here's the map.
Map Men. Map men.
Map map, Map men. There was a whole episode on
(20:56):
like the different. Well, pretty much every episode
is about the different counties of England, so I honestly know
more about counties, Yeah. Hey Sam Episode.
Is Round 2 all English counties?Sorry, Sam, I think I'm gonna
challenge that one because isn'tthere an area in West like in
(21:17):
London? Don't they have like a separate
government in Westminster? And then there's like the City
of London? I don't know if that's counties,
but. You're and you're asking.
Me a whole bunch of hypotheticalquestions that I cannot answer.
And I'm challenging this question.
Bam. Damn, play the sound effect.
No. Damn, that would have been.
(21:38):
Huge. So you.
Put me in a food coma. So.
So Westminster is devolved from the City of London, but it is
not devolved from the county. So it's its own London is like.
There's London, and then there'sthe City of London.
Right. So the county government still
governs Westminster, but yes, like there's this.
So like there's a constituency, the Cities of London and
(22:00):
Westminster there's it's like 3000 people because it's just
like the Houses of Parliament plus a little bit.
Yeah, so. Good guess.
OK, an informed blunder on my informed blunder.
You know too. Much, I think honestly, that's
probably that's a classic aided moment is.
Thinking you know a lot. Yeah, it was a good guess.
(22:20):
Well, thinking I'm just. That's the class thing.
Like I'm actually and then just being wrong.
Hey, I'm still those are extra Bus one point trivia right now.
Wow. Moving on to question 7.
As the introduction alluded to, Loving County, Texas is the
(22:41):
least populous county in the United States, with a population
density of just 0.064 people persquare mile.
Wow, closest winds. What is Loving County's
population? Oh, that's like a fun little
unit conversion problem. Let's see.
(23:04):
Smallest. County by land or population.
Smallest county by population. This big on a map?
I'm only assuming it's about this big.
And you're asking how big is it by area?
No, I'm asking how many people live in the county.
So when am I supposed to figure out the area?
(23:27):
That was a pointless statistic, just to demonstrate how sparse
it is. I'm gonna say that it's.
OK, well, I will let Cooper guess first.
Did he buzz? Buzzed in Yes.
I'm guessing that it's just one extended family just evenly
spread out across this one county 15.
OK, Aiden. So you said it was .06 something
(23:52):
per square mile? So there are people there, yes.
It's not 0.064 people per squaremile.
So that means it has to be at least I'm just gonna say 64
people. I think the math, maths.
OK, Kesson. 80 people. Wow.
(24:15):
OK, cut me off again. Actually, Aiden by a little bit
is the closest. It's 43.
Wow, wow, 43 How big is it? I don't know do the math in the
grand scheme of things. So it's kind of on the like the
corner of New Mexico. It sits like right there in
Texas, if you can kind of envision that.
(24:36):
So it's not a very big county. Rotate Texas in your.
And what's funny is so men Tony,the county seat, which is where
we're going in this episode, hasa population of 20.
So that's a a metropolis I guessof.
All half of the county population.
Right. I know it's huge so.
(24:57):
It's pretty much a planning areaat that point.
Well, Sam, I'm on the edge of mycounty seat for how the rest of
this trivia gets. I love.
That that is herbs case. We're tuning into bus trivia.
That's wait, really? I can't do that.
What? Do you mean you?
Can't do We've already established that you living in a
(25:18):
Giant county is the tiebreaker. Yeah, jokes are point.
It is. I'm serious.
It's been established these are.They've actually been part of
the rules all along, it's just if there is a tie, it goes to
the largest county. Well, everyone knows like I
honestly like that as an addition to the standard.
(25:40):
Rule so the puzzle. Does me like.
Just. I I'm always going to go for a
tie, then it's hard to beat me. That's true.
One of us has kind of moved to we're all going to move.
Across country and it's like psych the use Burrows.
As an idiot, Cameron's like no my planning conditions region.
(26:03):
Planning Regions Question 8 As we established earlier, there
are 3144 counties and county equivalents in the United
States. However, a huge number of these
counties have almost no people living in them.
This question needs a little bit.
I need you to visualize. Take every single county in the
(26:25):
United States and arrange it from highest population to
lowest population. Like in a spreadsheet each
other. Stack yes, Stack no need to
rotate them in your mind. Just stack them, no rotating.
Taking the most populous counties, how many of them would
account for a majority of the USpopulation?
(26:45):
Does that make sense? Yeah.
Yeah. That's a good question.
OK, so we just named 6, right? No, we did the top five.
Yeah, plus no less. That was inside, yeah.
And there's 3000. Total, yes, just over 3000
total. And we're looking for how many
accounts for like 50.1% of the population.
(27:07):
This is per Census 2024 estimates so.
Interesting and. Closest wins here.
I got it. I'll just OK Aiden.
Got me a quick draw. I forgot what I was going to
say. I got.
It. 1010% I think 10% of the counties are.
OK. So like 300 and 10300?
(27:30):
And 10, let's just say 300, let's just call it Neiman 300.
That's what I was going to. I was going to.
Say that's what exactly what youwere going to say.
OK, Cooper, I'm. Going to go to 29 or not 20?
Nine, 209. I did 1%.
(27:51):
One, you know what I'm going to do 29, you know.
What? Suck it, I'm going to do 29.
OK. Cassid Cassid do 29.
It'd be so fun. You're going to be right.
You're going to be right. I'll.
Do. I'll do.
I'll do 429. Whoa.
(28:11):
OK, 4000. So the points are going to go to
Cooper guessing. You should have guessed 29
because I literally was saying my friend please guess 20.
I hope the. Recording takes that I
definitely get the points because I said 29 and 299.
(28:35):
Both of yours, so it's less so it's 145 counties account for
50.1% of the population. So interesting.
The remaining like, well you're pretty much three. 2999 counties
account for a minority of the USpopulation.
That's crazy. Very concentrated.
(28:55):
So in fact, the top 36 counties account for 1/4 of the
population. So wow, it it definitely falls
off. So all right.
Counties falling off well. Counties been falling off.
What happened to counties? They've really fallen off.
Taken over by these planning regions.
(29:17):
So these planning regions woke doesn't want counties anymore.
I can't have county Cosmo. That is long.
I want to babe them. It's gone so far up track so
(29:41):
fast. Got to bring him back.
To me, out of it. Count today.
Put that on a shirt, OK? It's like a vampire go today
though. We're.
Just getting further and further.
(30:03):
Drag it back. All right, Question 9.
Sibos transition in New York City.
Each borough is also a county. What county is Brooklyn?
Is it not just Brooklyn? Just.
(30:26):
Brooklyn. Wait, so each borough is not a
county named after the exact same thing necessarily?
Maybe could be? I said what I said.
Each borough is its own county. OK, Aiden, Brooklyn.
This is like a Longhorn. No, I'm.
(30:48):
Surprised you don't know that asa native.
I'm from the Bronx, baby. OK, that's Bronx County.
That's like blocks away is. It the Bronx, I'll be so upset
if it's Bronx. Is the Bronx county OK?
Thank goodness. Cooper No, sorry.
Cassid, you're next. I.
(31:08):
Was going to say Brooklyn. Is he right?
Well, take an actual guess, you know it's not.
Yeah, I. Took the fall for you.
It's not. New York's town, Yeah.
OK, good guess that's actually Manhattan, so.
OK. You're you're getting warmer,
Cooper. They have a county named after
the state. Crazy.
(31:29):
It's like. Washington not like Washington.
They do have, you know what's crazy?
Kessler will know. This is Pennsylvania has an
Indiana County, Pennsylvania. That's really nuts.
But that's like Indiana having Indiana County.
That's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous. We don't or they don't.
OK, Cooper, you. Where you getting us?
(31:50):
Cooper's going to flop, right? Here, Dodgers.
Dodgers. No, no, no, I'll go.
I'm just going to end up saying a name I think.
OK. Bryan Bryan, Bryan County.
Their name and names? No, it's like Moses.
(32:13):
I'm going to give a little. Addison.
Think of the regions surroundingBrooklyn.
It's very closely related to oneof those, like one of the other
boroughs. One of the other boroughs.
So like what's? Around Brooklyn, they got a
bridge. Bus Queens.
Bus Queens. Queens County, Is that a thing?
(32:35):
What's your answer? They didn't say bus Queens
Queens County. You think Brooklyn is in Queens
County? Just to clarify.
Fool. That's not not anymore, but you
have a good idea. On the right track, you're on
the right. Track.
So you're saying it it's named after a neighboring borough?
Not named after I just said closely related to.
(32:57):
Kings County, Yes, that was a total bit.
Don't give me points. Give Cooper.
Points. OK, Cooper gets the point.
Because you buzzed and you. Used it.
I used it and I just was the appen.
And that's the so the Brooklyn is in Kings County.
(33:19):
So what is that related to Queens?
It's related to Queens, Yeah, I think Queens.
Kings, I mean. Kings and Queens ball from
Enchanted. You you just really like went in
on Aiden for like you think it'sQueen Aiden County.
I'm more kidding trying to. Give a hint.
Yeah. So, so Manhattan is New York, NY
(33:42):
County, obviously the Brooklyn is Kings County, Queens is just
Queens County, Bronx is the Bronx County.
And then does anyone know StatenIsland?
That's not Staten Island County,so.
Basically New Jersey. County, basically.
No, it's Richmond County. Totally.
Random I think I heard. Of that, what about Long Island?
(34:06):
So Long Island I don't. You know Nassau County, right?
Yeah, there know Nassau. And then Suffolk County is like
the Hamptons and everything elsethat's out there.
So see I. I know all these names and I
have no clue what they were. Like it's one of those they're
just mumbling around and you're like if.
You say NASA, I'm like, OK, yeah, totally.
But I didn't know that was a county unlock all.
(34:29):
Right, we've got one question left to round out round two, and
then it. Gets.
And then it gets crazy, yes. The surprise surprise.
Stay tuned. Hold on to your freaking county
seats, listeners. Question 10.
It's undoubtable that there are some very weird county names.
(34:51):
Which of the following is a realcounty name?
RoboCop, RoboCop, OK Butts, Yolo, Bourbon Mussel Shell, or
Pocahontas. Only one of those is only.
(35:13):
One of those is real. Oh, only one of them is real.
Yes. Oh, I was going the complete
opposite. Uh oh.
Let's think Aiden Bourbon. Nope.
Sorry. Really, that one makes sense
because bourbon is do. Bourbon is a city, isn't it?
Do they call like areas of Kentucky, Bourbon County,
(35:36):
Bourbon country? That's what I'm thinking of.
I mean, it is whatever. Yeah, the Kentucky would be a
good guess, actually for where Bourbon County would be.
I mean, hey, so Kassid, you're up next.
Butts. Butts is not a real county.
Name. Hold on, so bourbon whiskey is
named after? There's a place in Kentucky
(35:59):
named Bourbon, I think. OK, the county doesn't have to
be named. It's not a county.
It's just like after the city, right?
It's just like games. Maybe bourbon.
Kentucky isn't. The other one was Yolo.
Yeah, so the ones left are Yolo,Mussel Shell and Pocahontas.
Gotta be mussel mussel shell. That's correct.
(36:21):
Good job. No way you.
Came up with mussel shell. Do you know where mussel shell?
What state that's in? Maine.
Good guess at Montana, actually.Where they don't have Marvel
guests, Yeah. So.
Where they're all scrawny, walking around like twigs.
Yeah, it's super weird history. So created in the county was
(36:44):
created in 1911. Named after the Musselshell
River apparently, which the river was named that in 1805 by
the Lewis and Clark Expedition due to the abundance of
freshwater mussels found along its banks.
Oh, I didn't know Montana had waters.
Yeah. Isn't that crazy?
(37:06):
And then they named me some. Montana Mussels.
That's. Crazy.
Yes, should be their state slogan.
That should be a shirt. Not taken out of context.
And it's Lewis and Clark eating mussels.
Oh yeah. Just have a shirt where it's
Lewis and Clark eating muscles. That's.
(37:27):
The shirt, yeah, everyone would get the rest.
I love these the Montel. Muscles, and it's Lewis.
Little do our contestants know that this was the fake answer.
Looks like they were fooled thistime.
(37:48):
I actually was at the I was in Kentucky recently and or is like
the Indiana Kentucky border and they I was at the spot where
they met up to go on their expedition.
Oh. That's very cool.
OK, let's get an update on points 'cause we're done with
Round 2. I have dropped from 4:00 to
3:00. So in that Extravia game, that's
(38:09):
what. They still have one.
Yeah. I didn't know this round.
Trivia come alive. Let me tell you.
If if I'm counting the the two points that it was just like
give to Cooper anyway, I have 10ohh.
My God and the big county tiebreaker on his side.
(38:30):
Let me. Say though so once we get to
round three it's it's anyone's game truly.
I know we always say that for grabs on the low end, yes.
So I mean, it's it's gonna get crazy so.
Wait, what? On the low end.
It's up in low end. How?
Many. How many?
Extra points are you gonna have in this round?
So Level 3 this is. This is for all the marbles.
(38:54):
Big ones. Welcome to our county
pronunciation extravaganza. Extravaganza, huh?
This so Level 3 is going to have8 rounds it's going to go quick
what it's. So round 3 has 8 rounds in it.
(39:18):
It's like boroughs. It's like boroughs recursive
rounds. They're.
Planning regions. They're planning rounds.
Yes, Level 3 has. 8 planning regions.
There you go. So wait.
For each level, I'm going to privately send each of you one
county name. So each level they're kind of
related, so they're in like a certain region or a state.
(39:41):
You get one chance to correctly pronounce it for all of us, and
if you do, you get 3 points. If you incorrectly pronounce it,
the other players get an opportunity to steal, and if
they correctly pronounce it, they get one point I like.
This. I like this.
Does that make sense? OK, yes, we'll walk through once
(40:04):
again. OK, make sure you have your
texts open because here we go. The first round is some lovely
counties in the great state of Michigan.
Pure Michigan is gonna. Have to read it out loud.
OK. Are you gonna send it in our
group? Chat.
No, I'm gonna privately text youso.
You don't think Siri could say these, correct?
(40:26):
No, definitely not. I have Irish Syria.
Cooper's reaction says it all. Now some of these, don't be LED
astray, are pronounced the way you think they would be so, but
some of them are not so. So don't overthink it.
Take some time. Unless you do need to, right?
(40:50):
So take some time. Ready.
OK, sure. So Cooper, I have like a pre
established order, but that's fine.
Cooper year first, it's like. OK, I'm just gonna let it flow
naturally so everybody knows of everyone's favorite.
Hold on time. Before so so for all the
(41:11):
listeners so we can so we can follow Cooper's pronunciation.
Why you printed and cut the house?
Yeah, that's. Don't need to do it in post,
That's good. OK, Everyone's favorite county,
Keweenaw count. Keweenaw, Michigan.
OK. Aiden, you're Michigan.
(41:31):
Aiden, you're next. For my actual one or to steal
Cooper's terrible one, this is Aiden's here.
OK, so I think it's the kind of thing where like the French were
coming down and they named it something in French, and then
over time it got Anglicized. So I think it's Presque Isle,
MI. OK.
And then finally from to round up Michigan Kessid.
(41:53):
This is, I think it's Jovic Michigan.
Jovic. Yeah.
You're all wrong. Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
All right, so we're just gonna pass it in a circle, right?
So does anyone want to steal? I mean, I'll try both of them.
Yeah, I'll try them, OK. Yeah, yeah.
So let's deal. Yes, please.
(42:14):
No downside, right? So mind if I did?
So let's start with kessids. Aiden Cooper, you you could take
stabs. I'd rather take Aiden.
There's no we could do both, right?
Yes, Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Go Jabek. Okay, that's closer than Kessen
was, but no. Joe Gabik, that's the tennis
(42:34):
player. So you're thinking of the.
Tennis, so this is pronounced. BIC.
Okay, you're getting a little closer.
Gogebic. Gogebic County isn't that nice,
that is. Not bad.
That's no point. It's the.
Westernmost county in the Upper Peninsula.
(42:54):
That's what I. Obscure Gogebic.
OK, Gogebic, I believe this was Aiden, so Cooper and Cassidy
could try to steal. I was just going to say Presque
Isle. That's what I was going to say.
OK, funny. So the county seat of this
county is indeed pronounced Presque Isle.
However, the county itself, however the county is pronounced
(43:18):
Presquille County. Presquille I had that thought
and thought that was the most ridiculous thing and I threw it
out. No.
But your whole thing about, oh, it's French and it got English
size. I was like, he's got.
Oh. Fuck.
Damn. Then finally Cooper's so Aiden
and Cassidy can work on this one.
What? What did Cooper say?
Kewana. Kewana Kawina.
(43:40):
Yeah, Kiwaniwina, that's actually Castle.
That might be it. I don't.
Know Aiden, do you have one? I said Kawina, okay.
What's so funky about this one is the single E is pronounced as
E. Quena.
And the EE is pronounced as an E.
(44:01):
So it's Keweenaw. So it's Keweenaw, yes.
Isn't that crazy? So that is the northernmost
county in Michigan. So like Isle Royal, like up
there by Minnesota, that's part of it.
It's like 2000 people live there.
And no points for that. Any.
No points for that. Question with three rounds in
(44:23):
that planning region within rounds 3.
Planning inside a question? Yeah.
OK. All right.
Moving on to the next round, we've got some upper Midwest
ones. So this is Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Wisconsin, Yeah, I know that.
So let me I'll start with Kessetfirst.
(44:44):
So yeah, I guess I could just hold them up.
You see it for the first? No, I like this one.
Just see. It you shouldn't show it to us,
but you shouldn't show it until after we do the first
pronunciation. OK, my God, that is.
I can't even make sense of this in my parade.
(45:04):
I love these words cuz they're like how about some more vowels?
Just yeah. What in the world?
So Kess has got the one from Minnesota and then Cooper and
Aiden each have a Wisconsin. So yeah, right, a Wisconsin.
Wisconsin, OK. What's the order?
KESSID. All right, all right.
(45:26):
Here. Here we go.
Here it is the. Build up is OK. 123.
Candy Yoee. Minnesota Candy.
Yo. Yoee, it goes crazy.
OK. Cooper, Manitowoc.
Wow. OK.
And then Aiden. I'm saying trempe, Lou.
(45:50):
OK, no. So I'm damn Cooper was the
closest. I'll say that.
OK, OK, so let's start. Manitowoc.
Let's start with kessids. So Aiden.
Cooper, you get a. Guess on this I'm blocking the Y
what? Did Kesset say?
Candy Yohi. Yeah, Kesset said.
Candy Yohi, which is is pretty darn close.
(46:12):
Candy Yohi. Good job, Cooper.
Wow. Wow. 1 candy go steel.
Wow, that's crazy. Cooper gets a point for that.
Oh Jesus, he's pulling away. He's.
Pulling away with it. Away, Cooper.
OK. Oh, so Cooper's is next?
You're not gonna get. What do you OK?
I did a refresher. What He said.
Cooper, what'd you say? Manitowoc.
(46:34):
And that's what I would have probably gone.
With I know what I would say. Second Manitowoc.
Manitowoc. We can't have Manitowoc because
two woke. Is it Manitowoc?
So you're overthinking the OS. Oh, so it's Manitowoc?
Manitowoc. Manitowoc, Man is a.
(46:55):
Manitowoc, man, I need a walk. And then Aiden's.
Aiden's is a doozy this round. So.
Guys love it. Triple Owl.
Okay, Kesson. Whoa, yeah.
Right. I saw those easy days.
I was like, I don't know, trampoline.
(47:16):
Trampoline. There you go.
That's good. Okay, what's crazy about this
one is it's pronounced trampolo.Trump.
Below I was debating. Between an O or an O satin on
the end, Dang. So okay, so that round Cooper
gets one from the steel for candy Ohi County, Minnesota.
That's. Crazy.
Moving on to round three, we're going up to Washington State
(47:39):
baby Washington. What's it said be Washington?
OK, so Kessid. Oh my God.
Oh my God. I'm trying to be generous and
give eight in the French ones, so.
You know, fucking Butcher. You're welcome, man.
You're. Welcome.
Yeah. All right, all right.
(47:59):
Here we go. Here.
We go. I'm just gonna try to take a run
up at this. Make it natural.
Make it natural. Don't overthink it, OK?
Snohomish. You're such a.
You're so smart. I'm such so smart.
Sorry, did. You get it, Yes, Well, so.
It's I mean, I just read it Snohomish.
(48:20):
Snohomish. Yep.
Snohomish County, just north of just north of King County, where
Seattle is. Yeah.
How many you got next? You get 3 for that.
Holy shit. Come on, guys.
OK, Cassid Wakiakum. No, Aiden.
So I'm I'm just gonna go full French on this one pond O re.
(48:41):
Full French. Pond O re.
I'm gonna give it to you so cuz they so they say so they say.
Ponderay or something they. Say yes they say Ponderay,
Ponderay County and then Kess does.
Do you guys want to take a stab?Kess is a meme this round.
Not wanna huck a loogie. So it's Wakayakum wyakum.
(49:06):
Slash. Beautiful county right there,
right in the southeast Washington.
So pretty right along the Oregonborder.
Wakayakum excuse. Me scenic Wakayakum County, OK,
so Wakayakum County. Come to.
Come county. OK, So moving on to round four,
(49:30):
we're going to be out West for these ones.
I'm like washing Aiden. Kern.
Yeah, I'm kind of out right. Well, that's your.
In Cooper's out oh, it's pronounced Kern.
Oh, it's. Kern County, in.
Utah. Yes, we got 2 in Utah, one in
Arizona. Cooper, you are up.
(49:52):
First, OK, maybe I'm I feel likeI've heard of this one, maybe
not. I would say Thule.
Nope, Sorry, Aiden, I'm. Going to say Duquesne, Utah.
Close, but no cigar. Damn.
And then KESSID, Coco, Nino, Arizona.
(50:15):
Yes. Wow.
Let's go. So, Coco.
Nino So we'll start with that. It's I'm I'm giving you some
grace on these because like they're they're tough.
So Coconino County, OK, that's where Flagstaff is beautiful
Northern Arizona, Sedona and thelike.
So Nino Canino, Cassidy get three points for that.
So moving on and let's do Coopers.
(50:36):
So Aiden and Cassidy get a stab.At that, I would say so.
What'd you say? I said Thule.
That's what I probably do. Too well.
Cats a good guess. That's what I was, said second.
Aiden, what tool? OK.
So it's actually Tuilla hasn't? That ever gotten that in a
millionaires? Tuilla.
Tuilla County. Ella.
(50:58):
OK. And then this was Aiden's.
He was pretty close. But Kassad Cooper, you get a
stab. What it what it said?
Duquesne because that's how like, you know, like Duquesne
University or. Duquesne.
Duchesne is it? Duchesne is it like?
Duchesne or something? No.
So it's just Duchesne. Duchesne, OK.
(51:19):
Isn't that what I just said? Oh, did you?
I didn't. I didn't hear that.
Roll the clip you already would like.
Duchain. I might as well duchain.
I think you might have. Said Duchesne.
That would be a. Heck of a rapper named Duchenne.
Do do it. Shane So it's Duchene super
weird cuz like Duquesne is how you say the university, which is
(51:40):
yeah, yeah. It's got a little bit different
too. So now for this one, we're
headed back to the industrial heartland.
We've got some Ohio and Pennsylvania ones.
Sometimes in Cleveland, I feel Ifelt like it would be unfair to
give Kessa the loan. Pennsylvania.
So he's getting in Ohio, Cleveland.
Okay. Sounds like Kessen knows that I.
(52:01):
Think I think I do, but I'm gonna look like an idiot if I
don't know, okay? It's okay, I think I know it,
but we'll see. All right, so we got our order.
Let's start with Kessen. All right.
Is it Giaga, Ohio? Wow, good job.
Let me show you guys. And it does not look like it's
spelled that way. Yeah, I'm.
Giaga Wow. Wow, cuz it looks you'd think it
(52:24):
would be like Goga or Giaga. I don't know, but Giaga is
correct. Yoga.
So good job Cassidy, get 3 for that one.
OK, Aiden is next. This is making me think of the
Skylar sisters. I'm gonna say like skull kill or
something like that. Skull kill Pennsylvania.
It's close. That's close.
OK, cool. And then, Cooper, you are last.
(52:48):
I'll say Tescarawas. Oh, close, but no.
So let's do. Let's start with Aiden's.
I want. I'm interested to see if Kessen
knows this one. Sky the sky kills, Angelica
kills. Scale kill.
Wait, what did you say? Kessen Shul kill.
(53:08):
Wait, wait. What did you say, Cooper?
You're both and Peggy. Skill kill.
OK, no. So it's Skukill.
Skukill. County and then.
Finally saying school. Really weird.
I'm taking my kids to this. And this was Cooper.
(53:29):
So Aiden and Cassidy, you get a guess at this.
Did you say Tuscarawas? Is that what he said?
Tuscarawas, yeah. Tuscarawas said.
I was close. On mine.
Guessing. Do you have a guess?
Mom, change the stereo. Whis OK, so it's.
He said I was close though. So it's Tuscaroras Rs.
(53:52):
You're gonna hear me. More like RA.
RI know, even RAWA, it's Tuscaroras.
Tuscaroras County. It's where New Philadelphia.
OH, it's right there in Appalachia.
We're getting there round 6. Round 6.
We're headed to the great state of New York.
(54:12):
As we've been discussing so muchthis episode.
Sounds like Kesa does an inkling.
All right, Kesa, let's see what you got, Chautauqua.
New York. You got the.
County, precisely, but the best of New York.
New. York Yes.
(54:34):
So let me let me find this card here because you would not think
that's how it would be. But yes, so Chautauqua County,
New York, it's in Western New York State.
Oh, because it looks like it would be Chautauqua, but it's
not It's Chautauqua, but it's just Chautauqua.
You're not the. News Genesee, NY.
(54:58):
Got it. Genesee County.
Everyone's getting it. It's like Tennessee with AG
Genesee. Yes, yeah.
It's also Genesee County, Michigan, which we didn't have
earlier, but that's where Flint is.
Great city of Flint. So great city of.
Flint Cooper. Sorry, I almost revealed it.
I'm gonna say showery. No.
(55:18):
OK, showery, you're not that faroff, but you guys can steal if
you know it. Go, Harry.
Yes. Harry, Harry, the noodles we've.
(55:39):
Got a lot of points. Yeah, racking them up.
OK, so our penultimate round here, we're going to be up in
New England. Oh baby.
We still got more. How many there are 8 planning?
Regions some rounds at this point, yeah, there's.
How many questions are there left?
Who is this one question one? Oh, ma'am.
(56:01):
There's 8 per question, and there's 5.
Questions Why even play the first two rounds?
Cassidy, you're up first. We're gonna go cowos.
Not quite. OK, Aiden.
Sagatahawk, Maine. No, No.
(56:23):
I'm so that's. Exactly how it looks.
So you're laughing, but that's Iread it verbatim.
This is. Not good.
Cooper. Guys, my leg.
Gonna be bad. My third grade phonic skills are
working overtime right now. What do you wait, Sandy Cooper?
Piscataqui no, you said scatagories and all categories.
(56:46):
Categories OK, let's start with Coopers because that is a pretty
difficult 1. So Aiden and Cassidy can you can
steal here. Piscataqui's Aiden do, I guess.
I was going to say Piscataquist.Yes, so Piscataquist County,
Maine, so it's not qui as much as.
(57:07):
Scat and quiz. Piscataquist, Maine.
OK, let's do a. Deal.
Like I mean, what did? Aiden say.
Sagata Hawk like I just read it.I mean, that's what it says.
What it? Says
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.I just love.
Guess it's like inquisitive luck.
Sagatha Hawk. Yes, Sagatha Hawk.
(57:31):
So it's wow, Sagatha Hawk. Sagatha Hawk.
That is not wrong. Isn't that crazy?
Pretend that it's a. County and then say it.
Oh, what? Happened.
I've been doing. That man, I've been thinking
that as planning regions. That's why we get them wrong.
OK. And then it's like Cassids.
It's short, but you got to get it.
Did he say? Coos, what'd you say, CASSID?
(57:52):
I said Coos, I think. Coos, New Hampshire.
You think it's Cous? Like couscous?
That's. What it says, it's literally.
Reading it, Sam, it's step one. Imagine it's a county.
I'm gonna say Cush. It's that good.
Cush, New Hampshire. Oh my gosh.
(58:14):
OK. So it's Kessen was actually
pretty close. So it's Co OS I mean.
Like at that point. I would have known.
Give him the steal so. Okay, this is our last round.
Wow, we're headed. What a journey it's been.
Yeah, what a journey it's been. Here we go.
Aiden, depending on how you say this, you might need to break
out the emergency bleeps, okay? I'm going last goofer.
(58:43):
We got our start. Thinking on exactly how I'm, I
keep switching between things. OK Cassid, this is this is
extremely hard. I'll just work.
Man OK Talia Farrow, Georgia. OK, a totally valid guess, but
no OK. Cooper OK Boda tour Virginia No.
(59:03):
No. And then Aiden, the one we've
all been waiting. For Virginia.
Tell me I'm wrong. Tell I read it.
I'm literally read it. You're not thinking about what
is what the county would be. I'm just reading, I'm just
starting it. Ohh the fucker planning region.
(59:27):
Those fuckers that. I.
OK, so let's go back through. So this is Kesson's.
I will say he his pronunciation is not close and it's totally
understandable. So what?
OK, Kesson, say what you said again.
Talia Farrow, that's exactly howI said.
Taliafro OK, you're not going tobelieve this one, Toliver.
(59:51):
What Noah's? Does challenge challenge?
No, I already told you guys. Like reading this, there's no
like rhymes with Oliver, Like like Don Oliver, Yes, like
that's how you say. It that's actually crazy.
Like they're just making it up at that point.
Aiden went last so we got Coopers next if you want if
(01:00:13):
Aiden or Kesset wants to challenge.
I think Boat Tort was pretty good actually.
Cooper Boat. Tort, I didn't say.
Boat Tort, what'd you say? I said boda tour.
I'm say boat tort, boat tort, Virginia boda tort.
Oh, Kesset's close. So you don't pronounce the last
R, so it's boda tot. Oh boda tot.
That's weird. That's OK.
(01:00:34):
Why don't people just spell things how they are?
Why don't you just? Need what you now show them
mine, Sam. Yeah, it's just FUCKER Virginia.
So this is fucker Virginia I think.
I read the card. What's crazy is is there's.
(01:00:56):
Like 2. There's like 2 words you have to
stay away from in this word, which is crazy.
So OK, Cassidy of a guest thick choir.
Thick. Wire thick.
Honestly, based on the last two totally valid guests.
So it's actually pronounced fockier, like hang out I was.
Close. So it's like, oh, you Fock ears.
(01:01:18):
That's like an accent. So if I said it in an accent, I
would have been right. Yes.
So it's fockier County right outside DC, OK.
Right outside. So we still have the challenge
question to do, but I'm interested in where everyone is
standing currently. And you have 11 because you have
10. Oh my gosh, Cooper is like 18.
(01:01:39):
Oh. That's OK.
Oh, but Aiden already guessed the challenge.
Yeah, no. So I can't win.
Kessing can win, though. OK, can win.
OK, do. I wanna go.
Through OK, I can go through. I will say it's not, I didn't
mispronounce any of the countiesintentionally.
That would be awesome though. Actually, it is fucker Jeff you.
(01:02:00):
Better believe it. That would just be, we mean we
have to go back through 24 counties and we're like.
Oh, did he? OK.
So they repeated all the questions so they could remember
what they were. Any guesses?
I know they're also the Numbers Honey episode.
If I had not let Cooper have those two points and he loses,
(01:02:20):
then I could beat him. I made a crave mistake.
The way that was decisive and you're like, yeah, let him have.
AI didn't deserve it, but Cooperdidn't need it.
Honestly, the Kings County one is the one I'm thinking.
OK. Now I don't want to do that.
(01:02:41):
I'm not gonna have a visible reaction.
I know, I know. I mean, you've had.
Some it's potato. That's true during the
pronunciation how those are not too so.
You know what I'm actually gonnado?
The population of the small of the lowest population.
Of Loving County, OK. Kessing Love.
Loving County. I'll do.
(01:03:04):
I don't know. I was thinking the one where the
states that don't use counties. That's an interesting one.
Are you locking that in? Yeah.
OK. So unfortunately you're both
wrong. Do do we want to keep going?
Keep going. Wait, we're at hours 15 into
this one. All right.
(01:03:25):
I'll just announce it. So.
So it was actually question 10 saying which of these are real.
County Muslims are. They all.
Real. They're all real.
So bourbon. County is real.
So. I knew Pat.
That's the one I was. I was like, there was something.
I was, I was so so you guys. Were no, you guys were like
dancing around it truly. I was like, oh geez, they got me
(01:03:47):
figured out. So.
Yeah. So.
Butts County, Georgia, right outside Atlanta.
I'm surprised you didn't know Yolo County, California.
That's not really in your neck of the woods, but ish Central
Central Valley, Bourbon County, Kentucky.
You were right on the money and it.
Is the IT is a county. Damn it.
(01:04:07):
And then I knew. Bourbon County whiskey was named
after I got gas like. So hard by Sam there so.
I'm like, oh wait, it doesn't happen.
Bourbon County, me thinking no, that it really is.
Yeah. Jeez, Lord.
So those are all really. I remember being sussed.
In the moment, but when you readit back, I didn't remember that
I was sussing at that one. The muscles is real.
We can make the shirt. And stop it muscle shell County
(01:04:29):
Montana is real. I just felt like that sounded
the. Fun Luther Clark eating muscles
and you guys gotta love those Minnesota muscles.
Gotta love those Montana. Sorry, Montana.
Ridiculous. We would.
Never hear the end of it. If it was, if we put Minnesota
muscles, we'd get. Sued to do oblivion.
All right, so I think on that, on those numbers, Cooper has
(01:04:51):
been crowned Master of County. Keeps it out.
Excellent job and excellent job.Kessid Yeah, first time doing
