It's good to see California having fun bugging the Government the way the other states do. And to hear him talk like himself. (Dude. Totally. Hella.)
What about gnarly? Do they still say that or no?
@@Igneous188 depends on what part of the coast you're on
@@Burning_Tardis Alright
@@Igneous188 it’s mainly surfer talk, an gnarly wave is actually describing the wave’s choppiness and it later got incorporated into regular language.
I think my Calirfornia is going to come out more this week because of this video 😂
As a Floridian who married a Californian, this sketch is life! I also appreciate The Tick reference.
Isn’t that tv show of the hero that is name Tick or I thinking something else
The The Tick reference. Also, Steven, the show, *_and_* hero are called The Tick. It's like Freakazoid. The show has the same name as the hero
@@Oskanwhitchfather okay thought so. Just making sure. Did not truly watch it but I saw pictures and clips of it
Someone explain the tick reference to me
spoooon!! I lived the Tick!
I don't think I've seen Florida get that flustered. Nicely done, California.
I mean, California IS basically the Florida of the west…
@@michealmalloy1934 Say that to California in a sketch. He'd lose it.
@@CortexNewsService I wanna see that happen now
@@michealmalloy1934 Except unlike Florida we have good weather.
@@hdrb1235 If it makes you feel better, I'm a Californian and I lost it when I read that. It's not even accurate!
.... Wait, did Ben get this so PERFECT because California and Florida are bizzaro twins of each other?
Some key differences include the fact that it seldom rains in California and Florida isn't on fire nearly as much as Cali
But the both use an umbrella
@@leeterry96 The way they use it, however, is polar opposites.
The one thing we do have in common is weirdness. I've been blessed with the adventurous opportunity of living in crazy San Diego city, where sea lions appear on i5, people drive with their legs because hands are busy with California burritos, and people are no afraid of "showing off". I love it here
@@leeterry96 Nah, you only use an umbrella here in florida if its already raining when you walk out, which is like 10% of the time it ends up raining
It's absolutely hilarious that California has the same reaction most of us Alaskans have when an earthquake hits 🤣 I'll log onto Facebook and all I'll see about once a week is "did you feel that?"
I've legit laughed at people who freak out over earthquakes I didn't even feel.
Because so often it's a TINY jolt. So many people from non-earthquake places are terrified of them, but really, the first thing you think isn't "omg, earthquake, I need safety" it's "did someone load the washer wrong?"
And then you don't hear the washer going and you think "was there a car crash nearby? Did a tree fall? No, I didn't hear anything. Maybe it was an earthquake." And THEN you check the shake map.
@@sunnirae1900 washer loaded wrong...I felt that one lolol
I only know an earthquake happened if my dad mentions it. The last time I remember actually noticing was when I was 10. I was on the floor coloring when the entire house swayed once and that was it. I didn’t realize it was an earthquake until my mom called across the house asking if everyone was ok. I haven’t noticed an earthquake since, despite people telling me they happened many times.
They both get 100 earthquakes a day
I’ve never seen Florida so riled by one state and I’ve never been so proud of California.
Loved this, and as a resident I feel obliged to point out the Central Coast is also a totally distinct region of CA. No biggie, we are used to being left out. It’s why we don’t mind being so damn hard to get to.
Last I checked it was north and south, with everything after LA being north 🙄
As a resident I just call it NorCal, Bay Area, and SoCal. Basically anything North of Ventura and South of Morgan Hill I suppose I'd call Central...but I usually just pick one of the bigger cities and call it something like Bakersfield Area, SLO area, Monterey area, Visalia area, Fresno area etc.
@@Surfinsam927 This pretty accurately describes it.
Central *coast*? Try central *valley*
I know, right?! I live in SLO County and I'm kinda confused as to which region I'm in since I'm about 6hours from LA and about 6 hours from Sacramento (without traffic or bathroom breaks)
As Californian it’s good see California make Florida mad
As someone who grew up in California it mind boggling to me that an outsider got us so accurate when so many people have failed in the past. Your only been there a few months. 😂😂 if anybody wants a true representation of what CaCalifornia is ike this is it, truly.
No I come from sac I'll tell you right now we call San Francisco Frisco we call California Cali I don't know what part California you grew up in but I think we grew up in way different parts California
Honestly, you can count on Ben to get almost everything down accurately. The only difference for me is that we call San Fransico 'Frisco'. It's probably because I'm Central Valley Cal.
In the bay area we call San Fransico either "The City" or "SF". But I grew up in Sonoma and always say "The" before a highway or freeway number.
@@justinmejia5988 nobody calls it Cali
In SoCal
@@MsDogleaf I grew up in San Diego. It always grinds my gears when someone says SoCal as well as Cali.
Man, Ben really flexing that creative muscle. This was the best one yet.
The earthquake reaction is super accurate. Like you can drive on a small enough quake. Its dangerous as f@ck, but you can do it
Shoot if you’re driving you don’t know there was a quake half the time.
My sister was driving during the 6.-something in 2012, 2013? In Humboldt. She thought it was wind. Which is totally possible because the 101 by the Humboldt bay is windy AF. When she got to work everything was on the ground.
There was a 4.1 a couple weeks ago near San Diego and I was on the couch. My roommate was making coffee. I felt a small jolt and asked "did you feel that?" She did not. Went to the earthquake website and it was an earthquake! We spent breakfast talking about all the eathquakes we've felt.
Edit: and driving during an earthquake is not dangerous at all. Cars have suspension. You're not likely to feel anything under a 5.0. After that you'll think "wtf is wrong with this road?" After that, you'll think "wow, it must be windy."
I was in the mall one time
All you could feel was that the lights were swinging
A 4.0 earthquake will happen in an area not close to a city in Washington and the local news will be like:
Did ya feel it??
@@sunnirae1900 my fault for not clarifying at the time. Wasn't thinking in the broader scopes, but yeah i was talking about building breaking earthquake that'll have you grab a door frame for stability.
I know you can drive on a four. Stood through one back in 2015/16 and life was still happening outside.
I did not know that Disney World and Disneyland shared THAT many topographical similarities.
I knew DL was in Anaheim and I keep forgetting WDW is Lake Buena Vista, NOT Orlando.
This was much more amusing than I was expecting (and I was already expecting amusement). And the Florida has been broken. XD
Dude had me ROLLING at the name of the county
Also Fun Fact: The reason SoCal residents put a "The" in front of freeway numbers is because our freeways started out with names and not numbers, the Hollywood Freeway is the 101, the Harbor Freeway is the 110, The San Diego Freeways are both the 405 and the 5, The 5 is also the Santa Ana and the Golden State Freeway depending on what part you're on, Same for the 91 which is both the Artesia and Riverside Freeway, The Long Beach Freeway is the 710 and so on. It a cool bit of SoCal history.
I never heard this, I just say take the 10 or something like that, or we are looking for I-10 west. If we ever try to get to LA
That's an interesting story! Up in SF it's basically the reverse... just 80, 280, 380, 580, 680, 780, 880, 980... Oh! And 238! 480 disappeared a long time ago, tho. But I guess my point is, there's not many freeways that we ever actually have to deal with (so much that just by naming the freeway numbers you know what part of the Bay Area I'm talking about), so just the number is good enough. That said hearing people call it "the 101" instead of just "101" is still way too weird.
@@nickfifteen The freeways around the bay area do have names, not that I have ever heard anyone use them other than to refer to The MacArthur Maze.
@@KestrelOwens yep. I know for a fact 580 is MLK
(Not directed at you, but future readers of this thread)
No one uses them, cuz well, who's reading a long @$$ name when you need to get somewhere
I love the fact that multiple freeways can share a name AND the same freeway has multiple names. Also, people's reactions to certain parts of certain freeways.
"Get on the 405 North."
"...Why am I suddenly driving into the sunset?"
"Because that's how driving west works."
"YOU SAID THIS FREEWAY WAS GOING NORTH."
"It goes north. At some point."
"WHAT."
"Look, we're two thirds of the West Coast and the nearest beach to here faces south. You get used to it."
"ISN'T THAT THE SOUTH COAST THEN?"
"God, no. Does this place look like a luxury mall?"
*pterodactyl screeching*
A few notes: In N Out is good… FOR THE PRICE. People don’t realize Californians love it because it’s cheap, and quality food within that price range. It’s easy to find better burgers elsewhere but it’s a hard to find a good burger that is that price and that good. LA has had a huge burger explosion lately and there are some amazing cheap burger pop ups here that are totally worth checking out besides In N Out.
Also Hella is only a thing said in the Bay Area or said by people from the Bay Area.
Only people not from Orange County called it The OC. People who live there say the whole name.
Los Angeles is so huge that you can have extremely different experiences depending on what neighborhood you live in even if you’re only a mile or two apart.
Also in Los Angeles distance is measured not* by miles, but by time since the two are not correlated at all. If you come here to visit, definitely get to know a local otherwise you’ll make bad choices and get stuck in traffic your entire trip.
*Edit: I forgot the “not”
And don't forget about In-N-Out's secret menu. I miss the Animal-Style fries.
@@andrewcraddock1358 one word: Whataburger
@Schlugel basically. The food you get at In-N-Out is more filling than McDonald's as well. Their Double-Double combo is $6.50 and is more filling than any combination of food that you could get at Mcdonalds for the same or similar price. The lines at In-N-Out look long, but they move quickly.
@@jonathanbeaudry3351 whataburger>
@@Pigeonwhogotburnt There is no Whataburger in CA. If it was the price that they sell food for in TX would never work in CA due to the price to be here. Also being someone who has had both while in Austin. Whataburger is decent but I compare it more to a Carls Jr/Hardeys. The closest In-n-Out compare in Austin was P. Terry's
10 points for the correct usage of both Dude and Hella. 🤣
it was so natural i didn't even realize
There were a few too many Hellas in there, but other than that it sounded almost exactly like a Californian.
Yup like totally Hella accurate.
Seriously like, way so accurate yo.
I live in Anaheim and I get annoyed when tourists at Disneyland say, "I can't believe Los Angeles is this big."
Yeah another SoCal. Also I feel really weird that people think Disneyland is in LA
Fellow OC-resident here. I loved this one (although I say I’m from Cali so….)
Yes
I live 15 min from Disney
It’s not in LA
There is Los Angeles and Greater Los Angeles which is why it can be confusing.
You wonder when they will create a UK style council authority for Greater La. after all 20 million people
At 70% vaccinated that means CA's vaccinated population is larger than the entire population of most states. It is nice to see CA flex a little more, normally CA is the butt of jokes in these sketches.
We also grow enough food to feed the entire world, including 80% of the world's almond supply despite almonds being from Iran.
@wta1518 we have 80% of all major agriculture and our economy is reliant on the water for the crops, hence the droughts.
I actually gasped out loud when I saw California-
just watched and I am not disappointed. and yes, everyone hates each other xD
one thing I'd add is that no matter what the video said, San Diego is the worst if you're visiting for a day or two.
Thats how I felt about Texas
Not nearly as much as those in Portland and Seattle hate people from CA.
That's why it has Die in Diego
That's because you're leaving so soon.
YES, TELL PEOPLE SAN DIEGO SUCKS!!! Maybe then the traffic will die back down. Also what part of San Diego did you visit because that would make the difference. 😂
As a CA Central Valley native, I'm so glad we got mentioned 🖤 even if it was only for farming and nothing else, its true, there's literally nothing here 😭 and we do like mountain to beach access lol
also I think we only are hate it when you say 'Cali' out loud
And! THANK GOD we didn't get lumped in with the rest of NorCal or Jefferson
Right! And the water complaining from central on up lol is right too.
Yep. Also you guys are always protesting water cuts even when we have cut residential use 25% and farmers use 75% of the water supply, get drip irrigation then; the government is actually going to pay for it.
As a californian.... you arent wrong... like at all. I had to drive through 3 of those regions just for work... daily. The valley is hot and dry and filled with nothing but dry air, then their is the bay which is just CROWDED and busy busy busy and filled with tech. The City is what it is and then there is actually a region you missed. Santa Cruz. Mostly because to get their you either need to be patient, crazy or accidently got lost. The roads to get their are narrow and people in sports cars pretend its F1... even when traffic gets bad. Somehow i rarely saw anyone die.
Yeah I grew up in Santa Cruz. Highway 17 can be brutal.
I've noticed people in Santa Cruz call themselves part of the bay area which just feels wrong to me as a true bay area native
Santa Cruz is a place people decide to live for a few years to get away from San Jose and the peninsula, before deciding that it's maybe not worth the roads washing away every couple years.
I'm from Fresno and he definitely could have learned on the okie thing a lot more. In fact he should have called California and Oklahoma should have just shown up.
Down here in SD we have the 805, with a weekly forecast of stupid people in cars that are way less agile than they think they are.
As a Taiwanese from the other side of the Pacific ring of fire,the earthquake part cracks me up
Same from someone from Chile!! Below 6 it does not exist
Meanwhile in Australia....
Uh, what's an earthquake?
(For those who don't know, Australia is the most geologically stable continent on earth. The last earthquake we had was a 4.5 40 years ago. We're also are the only continent on earth without an active volcano.)
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 You're also the smallest continent, so having no volcanoes isn't very surprising.
as an Alaskan, same
Californian here yes I did gasp when I heard him diss in n out, I literally picked it up yesterday, also appreciate the little mention of the absurd amount of Mexican food trucks in SoCal, most of the population in L.A. is actually Hispanic bc immigration is really easy when it’s just a walk upwards. Yes I hate every other region but I love San Diego. Everybody here goes there for vacation
Eh, I won't say In-N-Out is bad. But I do feel it is overrated. *born and raised in California* Though I will say that the first time I tried their fries? Best fries I had ever had in my life... Every time after? Disappointment. I'm not sure if it's because the first time I had them was before the switch to vegetable shortening to fry them and every time after was after the switch but even so.... So sad. I will, however, have to commit the Californian sin and say that I feel that Whataburger is better overall.
@@Kamuishinjo Alright surely this counts as treason of some sort?
My California heart screamed, "How dare you" at the In-n-Out diss. I mean, it doesn't have to be your favorite, but to call it not good!!! Also, Pea Soup, Anderson's, water fights I'm impressed to see you get those. But I'm also wondering at your definition of SoCal. Like those are all north of L.A., the OC, and San Diego. Anyway, thanks for the videos, love them! Keep 'em coming!
As a Texan, I feel attacked by that there Floridian. And as a resident of DFW I feel required to point out we are technically bigger than Houston...as long as you are counting us as one city.
As a fellow Texan not from that area, we aren’t
As someone from Houston: sprawl is gross, why do people like it?
As a Houstonian, we're bigger. Also, I too am offended
As a Texan who hates big cities. They are two different cities. And Love Field is the better airport then DFW.
Houston is bigger. And more of a pain in the ass then Dallas or Fort Worth.
@@SoulKiller7Eternal the drivers in Houston are better, though. Not by a lot, but they are better.
As someone who spent their 'learning to talk' phase of childhood in California, I spent the video going "do I really sound like that??" 😂 Also loved the Anchorman reference🤣
What reference?
@@mako3271 San Diego being called a whales vagina
The funny thing is that with the whole Disney thing, DisneyLand California was opened in ‘55, while Walt Disney World Floria was opened in ‘71, so really, Florida copied California, but I still find the bit funny 😂
California has always been one of my favorites! Now they have a video all to themselves! I liked the shift in language, makes them seem like more their own person and less a representation of 'liberals'. Very curious to see if you keep that for the future!
As a NorCal native, thank you for the accuracy - and the nod to Jefferson. This skit was way funnier than I thought it’d be!
Lived in Southern California my entire life, I sleep through earthquakes at this point.
I thought everyone knew that Disney is in Anaheim.
Wait… Kern river is deadly? LMAO
As someone who swam in it, it definitely is, although there are calm parts
Californians know that Disneyland is in Anaheim.
Non-Californians don't even know Anaheim exists.
@@RevokFarthis Guess they also haven’t heard of the Angels. I’ve sat through exactly one Baseball game ever and it was at the Angel Stadium of Anaheim.
Bro the way you had California goin off about things in Cali and Florida was flipping out because that's our shit had me in tears esp when Cali was like "everyone thinks Disney land is in LA but it's in a much smaller city nearby" I was like oh shit everyone thinks Disney world is in Orlando but it's not also! Haha great content bro you got an amazing handle on all of the states! Fla will always be my favorite bc that's where I grew up and I know that's where your from which is why you hit his lines spot on with everything he says!🤣😂
Thanks for the many laughs. Just found your channel a month ago and have been Sharing it with everyone. Don't forget to breathe and take a moment to yourself.
Loved this as a Californian born and raised, but In n out is amazing so when you grow some taste buds you should go back and enjoy the best fast food burger ever
this
And part of the experience is waiting in line. Which is enjoyable because you know you're getting some damn good food at the end.
Yes when I was young I didn’t like burgers
but I like in and out
So far, the one time I visited CA, I went to San Diego. It was SO nice! I can't wait to go back and explore more of the state - I mean, more of San Diego.
You are welcome here in San Diego anytime!
If you can handle the smell of manure and enjoy wine, check out some of the wineries in The Grape Vine (Central Cali, north of LA).
Nice
[Technical Glitch] Someone please reboot FL with a white claw. The FL outtakes is my average Tuesday🤣😂🤣
Fun Fact: White Claw is popular in the Central Valley. We have lots of southern transplants and decendants here lol 😆
As someone born and raised in Fresno, you missed the perfect opportunity to say, "They all hate each other for various reasons... Except the Central Valley. Dude, they hella hate on themselves so much that no one else needs to hate them."
As a lifelong Texan, I could care less about the city size jab, but you done crossed a line with In-N-Out. They may not be the _best,_ but those are some *damn* good burgers. Not to mention the animal-style fries and the milkshakes..
Differences in restaurant preference aside; loved the video!
You just lost your Whataburger privileges, partner.
A Texan who likes In-N-Out..?? Impossible.
That's alright, some people like burgers that taste like beef and fries that taste like fries; and some people like their food to taste like grease. Those people go to In-N-Out
@@Jchmcom Bold of you to assume I even like Whataburger in the first place.
Let me correct you there by saying in n out is the ONLY good fast food burger place
SoCal native, I enjoyed this! The traffic statement is very relatable especially on The 91, 405, & 5. 👏 We don’t count traffic in minutes, it’s all based on “what time you leaving?” Yet you always add a half-hour delay to a simple drive. Heck, when I go to InNOut I often anticipate a 25 - hour delay depending on the time I departure.
I’m not from Cali, but this is still one of my favorites because California is my favorite character and also the call is my name spelled differently, so that’s amusing (and also Florida getting annoyed 😂)
"You start saying his name and give up halfway through".......
Me a Californian: .....welp....yeah you got a point.
Love the research Ben does in these. As a Central Valley Californian, I feel heard. Surprised he didn't mention almonds.
Somehow, the new piercings are so fitting for Cali!
Of course In-n-out is good. I am from Germany and never were in the US, never eaten there. But Gordon Ramsay likes to eat there. So it HAS to be good
OC resident here. Thanks for the laughs! Never though we have so much in common with Florida.
Hi OC neighbor! (Also OC resident)
Everyone is a little Florida. That's how Florida got to be the way it is.
@Adam Estes The Aztecs definitely beat orange cove an you cannot change my mine
@@itzforkda9542 Well I’m happy to see this, as a current Aztec.
Yep.
Native Califorian stuck in Texas. Just started binge watching and love it. Love that you talked about the split in California. Back when hetalia was big with all my friends i convinced them to do a states hetalia. It took forever to sell them on the fact that SoCal and NorCal had to be two seperate personalities.
YES
thank you! NorCal and SoCal are like, totally different dude.
I think you broke Florida. He needs to visit Louie and wrestle gators.
When gov said he's enjoying this I think he just love the signs of angry FL lol
"Not the face! Not the face!" " No I was thinking something more like.....SPOON!"
Love how the roles with DC and Florida switch here to the point where DC was enjoying seeing Florida get a taste of his on medicine
I was born in Sacramento, California and I call it Cali to upset my family that still live in the state. It's a bit ridiculous that the short name is so upsetting.
2:19 As a backpacker, this line is hilarious and painfully stings at the same time
Cali got some much needed screen time, love how he and the gov' harassed Florida too
One Billion Life Points for the "The Tick", "The City" reference.
in-and-out is the best fast food restaurant in the US i don’t care what y’all say
As a born and raised Floridian who now resides in LA: I don't ever want to give up the mountains.
I have to know. Was the sunglasses falling off planned?
"SoCal is known to be sunny and warm all year"
The High Desert would like to know your location.
As someone from the Central Valley of California. This is truly accurate but hilarious. Also got the tick reference.
As a Californian I fully endorse this message, especially the part about In and Out…lol
California said that every part of Calli likes San Deigo, but most people in the State of Jefferson just hate everything that is not them
I’m a transplant to CA. I got a kick when about 20 years back when a guy I worked with said “He loved living in the city.” I said “New York.” He was not happy, but I throughly it was fun. In the back of my mind I was thinking of The Tick.
SoCal needs to stop taking our water, we should tax them. In N Out is boring and limited varieties that are outdated.
I have been waiting for this one! It did not disappoint!
Same fam
As a Californian, this was the best representation I've seen. Also, I was ready to fight when you said In-N-Out isn't good.
I appreciate the Ocala-horse joke. Well done, sir; that was a well executed deep dive. There is also a funny story between the city of Ocala and the state of KY, also about horses. Be sure to get some ‘boil p-nuts’ next time you hang around mycanopy.
Made me want to actually sign in, just to comment. Keep up the good work, amigo.
People who think In n Out Burgers are the best have never had Dick's Drive-In.
That's what he said
I do want to eat burgers that are out of California. But once I do get out of California, I forget to do so.
I've never been to an In n Out, but Dicks is the best ... Unfortunately named perhaps, but still ...
Omg, the in and out burger hype. I finally caved to drive to our nearest one having been 3yrs out here and went and was like "yeah, this is a burger... an adequate burger. Pretty decent fries". But nothing to get that much hype.
Got the tick reference. Thank you for making my day
0:39 Place obligatory "SPOOON" joke here...and yes I did get that reference.
That aside yeah, there's always good memories to be made in San Diego.
Love this! And as a so cal native, I agree in and out is overrated!!!!
I’m also from California, I like in n out but I don’t go out my way to tell people about it
Bay Native. Never tried it. The line aint worth shit
I feel called out right now. It's really weird because I didn't realize "hella" was Californian slang until my friend was doing a crossword puzzle at my school
“That’s what- he- said”
Speaking as a native Californian, I think you need something like the Austin side for Texas, but conservative. Because the second you get out of the Bay Area or LA area this state is so red it makes Texas look blue.
It was the earthquake and region clarification for me. 😂 This was so accurate, it hurts.
Anything below a 3.5 is barely perceptible. They're just small jolts where if you're not sitting down and relaxing, you probably won't even feel them. Between a 4.0 and a 4.3, you don't immediately think "Earthquake!!!" You think "did someone load the washing machine wrong?"
@@sunnirae1900 the calm and collected shift forward in your seat and pause in whatever you’re doing to stop and think “is this dangerous enough for me to panic over?”
You can pry In N Out from my cold, dead hands. Also I enjoy seeing its expansion going eastward, slowly invading other states.
Am I the only one that didn't catch the tick reference?
No.
I like to think that Ben just has 48 clones of himself that go wherever he goes and all dress up as the states.
As someone from el paso texas, i approve of that xD
As someone who was born in California and lived there 11 years, In-N-Out is good.
I love everything always being compared to Florida and Florida losing his mind over it!
I lived in California for most of my life, and I agree that In-N-Out is not good. For those who disagree, I implore you to try one of their burgers with a lettuce wrap instead of a bun. It proves that the only good thing there is their bun (and maybe their milkshakes, I guess). Their fries are only good animal style (so they're smothered in sauce and you can't actually taste them). /rant
The Emperor was here
As a midwesterner who moved to Houston... Whataburger isn't that great and In-n-Out is just as okay. I like my burgers like I like my hotdish: buttered and crispy. Steak n Shake and Culvers all the way (except not all the way, I like a good garlic butter burger with just lettuce and cheese, no tomatoes or pickles or onions.)
Someday I'd like to see Ben move to Texas just to see how the jokes change.
I love puns. My favorite joke is "3 men walk into a bar. You would have thought one of them would have seen it."
Fun fact: if someone goes to In-and-Out and they are from Mexico, they take pictures to prove it to their friends back home and make them jealous.
Edit: I also found out from a Californian to never say Cali, but SoCal is fine. Hey, every place has their preferred nicknames.
Dude "did you feel that?" Is pretty much the only right response to an earthquake. One time I got into a whole ass argument with my parents bc it was like 10pm and I felt an earthquake and went to their room and was like "did you feel that??" AND THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO BE LIKE "there was no earthquake" we argued for maybe 45 minutes before the state website for earthquakes was updated and showed like a 5.2 or something like that around 20-30 miles away from our house. I knew there was an earthquake.
Have you had a vid on massholes yet
Yah. ITS Wicked Pissah
The original animated Tick show was one of the best superhero shows of all time
“Below 75 degrees is jacket and pants weather.” That is the most correct thing I’ve ever heard
The interestate thing reminds me of something: locals up here in WA say I-5, but just 405 for I-405 (*unless they're doing a traffic report, then they have to be all official about it). And it's I-90, but HWY 522 is just 522, etc.
Half the time I forget Ben plays all the characters
If you ever find yourself passing through the central valley you'll see lots of agriculture, poverty, meth addicts, bulldogs (renegade norteño gang members), and musicians. But unlike LA, Fresno County consist of a lot of jazz players, sound cloud rappers, and old cover bands. And if you ever reside in Fresno city for any reason you'll somehow never leave, even if you move away; you'll be back! 🤣
I remember my first earthquake... high school, study period session where everyone actually does extra classwork, catch up on homework, or dick about while I sit quietly and draw like an introverted goth. And naturally while listening to alternative rock, table shakes, I turn to the guys who share the same table as me about to yell "Will you dicks stop moving the-" And I see all the tables shake. after a fine minute, all is quiet, I take my headphones out and ask. "wtf was that?"
The City...my, The City. Yep, got the reference, all the way from Australia! Absolutely loving this whole series, thank you so much for posting it all up. Using it as a guide for where to go in the US :)
The only thing you forgot is Texas brooding in the background constantly trying to pick a fight with California, and California not seeming to notice or care
(I have dual California/Texas citizenship, this state “rivalry” dynamic was most of my childhood)
I didn’t realize both have the Disney Park in a county called Orange County 😂
That thing about San Fran. That Really depends on where you're from. Im from Sac and it is called San Fran and 'the city' around here. I think some in central call it Frisco.
Another nice thing about San Diego is -- knock on wood -- no major earthquake faults. SF and LA are built right over them.
"You think In-N-Out is good." Them's fighting words, Ben!
Follow up, Ben this video was so good you need to make another where it's California's job to call Florida.
