I thought this comment was giving number grad to the Tran derailments for a Second
You're going to be in Dallas? I don't see that on your site. Are there still tickets available?
OMG OXNARD!?
Just so you know, you've got the prize scammers now.
Keep Topeka Ks on your list
An entire minute dedicated to Minnesota? I’ve never felt so proud.
As a Minnesotan I am glad our plows get the recognition they deserve
Minnesnowta
Neither have i
You and the 12 other minnesotans anywhere near you
Might even call it cool
On the snow removal front, Wisconsin has started using cheese waste to Salt its roads.
This should definitely make it into a future video.
They should come up with a name for that, but I'm pretty sure it would be too cheesy to be taken seriously.
PFFFFF
We're what now!?
News to me......
"tell me more right now" Florida, probably
I breathlessly await Spring and Summer when those roadways start to bake their “coatings”!
@@Wayne-O-5169 the cheese touch will be very real
As someone who’s from the region of the train derailment (my dad lives 33 miles west and could see the smoke cloud from his hill), it’s honestly really nice (weird to say but still) to see everyone freaking out as much as I have been in the last week about this.
Doesn't help that the smoke's been going down-wind to other parts of the country
It's definitely a long term freak out
True
I responded to that shit man I have a incredibly small worry bout the trains that pass through my neck of the woods
The New Mexico gag reminded me of when a co-worker called to buy tickets to the gymnastics events at the Atlanta Olympics in 96. When they learned my friend was calling from Albuquerque, the person at the 800 number told him they could only sell tickets to US residents. No amount of convincing could get them to accept that New Mexico was not a part of Old Mexico.....
I had a friend who was denied a scholarship because it's only for US citizens. She's definitely a citizen, just happens to live here in NM.
The Smithsonian magazine printed a map of the US that year and left NM out... It gave half of the state to Texas and the other half to Arizona. They had to reprint the magazine and apologize to the state. I'm so white it's not even funny and I've had people tell me that my English is really good when they find out I grew up in NM. :p
Am I missing something, or is New Mexico like Bielefeld, but for America?
To this day people still look at you funny when you say you’re from New Mexico!!!!! Now I know what happened!
@@LucanVaris, I'm not familiar with what you're referring to, but the thing with New Mexico is that because of the name people from other states regularly assume it's part of Mexico.
i think this is so far the fastest that the states have gone in listing off their problems! holy hell it is a busy week!
After all the others, Alaska's seems minor.
@@Xandycane D.C. Is the one who shot it down over us and screwed themselves so…..
@@Woofdogman lol which means DC is screwed. However, compared to the others, not too bad. Any other week really bad, but 🚉🧨
@Xandycane I thought New Jersey's was the most minor out of all of them.
Also, hi, Sans!
Thank you for the beginning of this. Everything else was so crushingly terrifying, it was nice to start out seeing happy ben make jokes at silly snow plow names
I swear the snow plow names get weirder every year, and im here for it. XD
Lol the smell of roasting green chilies is amazing though.
Snow your own way really should be an option winter gives you…I’d be checking none-dusting every year😂
Ah the problem is people like me that would check 6+ feet every year
@@SerialElfYT XD same. There's been no snow that stays on the ground in southeast PA. Send help. Please. It's not right. It feels like in a few years the earth'll be burning quite literally in all the seasons. THIS IS LATE SPRING EARLY SUMMER WEATHER. IT SHOULD BE IN THE 30's at M O S T.
-10F to +10F for a crunchy high-traction snow!
I'm currently too far south to hope for it, but it was a long shot in Anchorage AK 20 yrs ago, too.
Midwest in a nut shell:
Minnesota- the snowy one
Wisconsin- cheese will fix anything
Ohio- the Florida of the Midwest
They are the florida of the midwest because over half of the residents of Florida are from Ohio. Having lived in florida, I know this for a fact from the large number of Ohio licenseplates there. Funny enough, a lot of the rest are New York plates.
And Missouri is the Texas of the Midwest
I thot Florida was the Lower Peninsula of Michigan? 🥸
@@usam-zf6gc think Ohio is in Dave Barry's origin story.
We don't claim Ohio. Someone else can have them.
I'm from Europe. You taught me more about various US states than I ever expected possible. I'm even learning where to find each new state on the map. Thank you
As a massive train geek, this hurts...
Same here
As a human being in the united states, the fact that mess happened and the company is facing so few consequences is terrifying. If ecological disasters are cheaper than being safe, we're going to see babies with a third arm in out lifetimes, and that won't be the nastiest thing..
Same here
@Rory Stephens oh my goodness that really clarifies just how astoundingly massive these locomotives were.
@@minecraftingmom it's not just the locomotives, that includes about thirty fully loaded wagons too
Love the Minnisnowta plows bit coming as we're looking at like 2 feet of snow starting today through tomorrow.
I'm in MA and I've been terrified that we've barely gotten any snow all winter. I'm wondering how bad it'll be once it hits.
Watch the ryan hall Ya'lls channel. Caise tornadoes are hitting in Missouri today and following the line of ice, stron winds and blizzards. Stay safe folks
@@deadpool569 I’m in VA, I feel the same way. We got one single dusting
@@hihellohi5714 I'm kinda happy we haven't had to shovel, but I'm worried we'll get blasted in March now, y'know?
This weather has been insane this year in MN. Snow a couple weeks before Halloween, multiple blizzards, rain last week and now another blizzard. Supposedly so bad the management at my apartment building won't be coming in on those days and it might be so bad the plows might not even be running but hey no word on schools being closed
I am loving these state details with Ohio's buckeye necklace. Also, Michigan and Ohio seem to be getting along with their mutual train derailment.
Just avoid mentioning Toledo and everything will be fine. (There was a war over it.)
I looked the longer list of Snow Plow names and they are amazing (I disagree with rankings but whatevs). When he mentioned District numbers, I thought for a second they were going to have a hunger games for snow plows.
I would watch that.
I find myself laughing like Florida a lot now and it concerns me
And then there were three
I'm a native Floridian and after watching these videos I realize a lot of people in my area chuckle like that. Hell, some of my own friends chuckle like that
The federal government is way more concerned in this video than they are in real life. And the company that is responsible lite the chemicals on fire and tried to walk away. After public backlash they came back like the BP exec in south park saying sorry lol.
They were getting scolded by their corporate masters to keep it quiet thats why the new nothing burger report on covid came out that the department of energy thinks it was a lab leak except if you read it they don't really they are low confidence which basically means it could have happened and we heard rumors but nothing even close to compelling. but news being news they are hyping it up way out of hand it basically means nothing 3 other departments which are much more responsible for looking into it doesn't even have it at low confidence
The Minnesota bit was brilliant.
The government genuinely not knowing that new mexico is part of the country is one of the most underrated running jokes on this show
Right up there with Alaska having no clue who anyone is and Hawaii wanting everyone to leave her alone.
I love that you had a whole minute dedicated to our lovely plows in MN. We're gonna need them this week with the two feet of snow we're getting. All the schools are canceled today through Friday because of the blizzard and I don't even know if it'll be cleared by Sunday
I turned 13 as an evacuated resident of Livingston Parish Louisiana. Guy running the train was drunk. Our pets were left behind. It was awful. When I turned 18 I got a whopping 5,000 bucks for living in poisonous air and water!! Thanks OBAMA!!! Just kidding Regan was in office!
I hated Reagan. It was as if every opportunity got snatched from under my feet. I worked at a Council on Aging, and lost my job due to funding cuts. The worst part, though, the most unconscionable thing, was that the budget cuts eliminated many seniors from Meals On Wheels. I remember a woman, who came to me in tears, because her sister, who lived up in the hills around there, would no longer get her meals. She was blind, couldn’t cook for herself, and her sister was also 65+, and wasn’t able to get out there every day. Many elderly people live alone, and , with those meals, we’d check up on them, to see if they were okay.
Sorry to go on, but you mentioned Reagan.
@@bethmoore7722 That is an entirely understandable reflex when Reagan is mentioned. There's a statue of him in a park near me that I flip off every time I'm there. Somebody got in my face about it, so I just said, "AIDS," in a profoundly disgusted voice and kept walking.
Damn, $5,000? Especially in the 80’s.
@@aphill.5611 The derailment was 82 so let's say Gay turned 18 in 87, that 5k would be about 16k of modern money. A smidge more than what someone makes a year in most retail jobs.
I'm sure someone will blame Obama for that. It wouldn't be the first time he got blamed for things that happened before he got elected to high office.
I really desperately needed this in my life right now and did not even know it. Keep killing it Ben!
Thank you for that first bit... And you have real talent in showcasing the problems facing us while still being funny. Even if sometimes it is sad/funny.
"snowcasing"😂😂😂
As someone who lives in the PA,OH,WV trisate area that derailment is the talk of the town right now and yes everyone is angry at how badly Ohio and the government have been handling it.
1. Your joy in the Minnesnowta snowplows gives me life. Also, a hot dish is an entity in and of itself. It's not a casserole. The Midwest is going to win that battle.
2. The Gov: "Does anyone else have any wildly upsetting disasters they want to talk about?"
The kids in my life gleefully answered this before Arizona did, with responses such as "Define upsetting," "Wildly is a little strong," and "It depends on how you look at it." We know them so well, and that says a lot for you, Ben!
3. State aromas. If that catches on and becomes a thing, the possibilities are endless. I nominate the Aroma of Tacoma for Western Washington, and mountain air just before a good snowfall for Western Montana. Have a good week!
The rage I’d feel if we willingly made Tacoma’s stench part of the official state branding when there are a million and one actually good options would be nigh unparalleled. I’d personally elect for “Forest petrichor”, but I’d also take “Salmon rotting by the river” a million times over the “Tacoma Aroma”.
Michigan's state plows also have names, sadly they don't put them on the trucks themselves but when you use the state traffic site you'll see the names
As a Michigander I am offended that Minnesota has better snow plow names than us. Michigan government people need to get on that!
Thank you, Florida, for bringing a whole new meaning to “foreign affairs” 😂
Loved Louisiana's lack of recognition that they would be remarkable.
Tho I guess foreign affairs were remarked upon when terms were invented to distinguish creole from cajun, etc.
Let The Chaos Begin! 👍😁👍
(Greetings from Australia. 🇦🇺 )
The train derailment happened and then Monday of this week a metal processing plant exploded in Bedford Ohio. We are not doing well on this right now.
I wonder if all these train derailments may be linked to the cancellation of train security laws by the previous administration?
Almost all of them are caused by PSR (Precision Scheduled Railroading). If you want to know more look it up
We’ve been canceling safety laws and skirting upkeep on our rail lines since the Reagan administration. Nothing like infrastructure neglect to raise your bottom line! And now we get to pay the price as places like China and Europe make us look like clowns trying to keep up.
You know when the current administration forced rail workers who went on strike? When they were striking because of unsafe working conditions or two administrations ago when they removed the automatic breaking systems on haz mat trains…..that would have prevented the wreck in Palestine.
@@BMMEC6000 could you please tell me a fun fact about trains? I want to know because it's interesting.
@@The155thbird fun fact you say? Alright. The average locomotive has 2x+ more horsepower than a Rimac Nevera (the most powerful car in the world)
"Arizona you go first."
"You want me to leave?"
Seriously dying! Also Arizona is so used to being the hottest state they literally told people not to run their air-conditioning or their heaters because they didn't want whatever was out there to end up inside people's homes. My question, who was thinking about running air conditioning in 27F weather?
Im pretty sure it was more even having the HVAC Systems on period. even if they are not running heat or AC, just circulating air in the system can create a draw from outside. and some heater systems may be gas powered and those have vents too.
Basically, dont run ANYTHING that will create a negative pressure in the house. even a simple bathroom exhaust fan.
@@FevnorTheWolf See, that should have probably have been added!
Hey during the day it was getting up into the high 50s and low 60s! Lol
@@jdcnosse No one in AZ (that wasn't visiting) would even think it was slightly warm till it was in the high 80's for several days. Years ago I worked in 108 F weather. Then it dropped down to 100F. We all had on sweaters!
Flip side, moved to Minnesota in January and thought I wouldn't leave the house to April or May at least!
@@sistakia33 I know that's why I was being sarcastic lol
My friend… I NEED you to do a “Weird Laws” episode on Montana.
If only for the final joke being; “it says here that a man and a woman can’t have s*x unless it’s in missionary position?”
“Oh yeah, what’s wrong with that?”
“I mean- how do you enforce that?”
“I mean, we really can’t, unless someone was watching.”
Florida: “You guys must have the WORST corn.”
“I think we’re done here.”
I'm from Montana, and I endorse this message.
Rumor on campus was UT had the same law. I never checked.
You need to apply for next year's plow names even though you're not a resident
We definitely needed that wholesome from Minnesota.
Ben “It’s a casserole and i will fight you about that.”
Minnesota “you’d lose.”
Indeed you would. Also no fighting my state
Also it's Duck, Duck, GREY DUCK. And that's a hill I'm willing to die on.
@@Mokey56001 I STAND WITH BOTH OF YOU!!!!!!
It's a casserole. There is no such thing as a hot dish and there never has been.
@@Mokey56001 And that's just stupid. It's duck duck goose. Why is a gray duck different from the other ducks?
@@wta1518 isn't hot dish what servers say when they bring your fajitas to the table on those sizzling griddle plates?
Hooooow many times did you forget to say Minne-SNOW-ta and have to go back? Brilliant, per usual 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am a simple RUclips viewer. Whenever I see PA in a Welcome to the Table sketch, I hit like.
We should be in the next update, since we’ve filed criminal charges vs NS.
So this entire video I was in a state of wtf is happening and I'm Floridian.
Arizona was just being Arizona, nothin wrong here
On a side note. The government was the one that screwed the pooch on the whole train derailment thing. One of the things changed in the whole strike talks was lowering the safety checking time for trains from 2 minutes to 45 seconds to satisfy investor and stockholder since they would lose a lot of money from the increased pay and somehow that whole part of the talks past without anyone realizing until now.
Absolutely loved this video! Easily the funniest one I've watched in a while, and they're all damn funny.
And as a lifelong Minnesnowtan, absolutely love that first minute!
I’m glad you opened with the snow plow names before getting into the dumpster fires
Minnesota being so proud is amazing 😂😂😂
Thank you. I needed the snow humor today SINCE I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY THIS YEAR! AAAARRRGGHHHH WHERE IS MY FREAKING ONCE A YEAR SNOW!
You may come up here to Montreal and take as much off my property as you can f*cking shovel. My neighbours will also make the same deal.
Come to Minnesnowta and you will have plenty of snow!
MinneSNOWda!😂
Shh.... - GA
Coke to Alaska. We have gotten a good about 10’ this winter alone
States can have aromas? Also those plow names gave me some much needed joy!
Yes... I promise you Wisconsin smells like cow farts and hay.
To be fair, New Mexico has gone a little overboard with the "Official State _________".
We've got the ones everyone has:
State Bird: Roadrunner
State Flower: Yucca
State Soil: Penistaja Series
Some that are common, but not universal:
State Tree: Ponderosa Pine
State Mammal: Black Bear
State Insect: Tarantula Hawk Wasp
State Fossil: Coelophysis
State Fish: Rio Grande Cutthroat Trout
State Gem: Turquoise
State Grass: Blue Grama
And then there's the rare ones:
State Cookie: Biscochito
State Vegetables: Chile/Pinto Beans
State Tie: Bolo Tie
State Amphibian: Spadefoot Toad
State Reptile: New Mexico Whiptail Lizard
State Butterfly: Sandia Hairstreak
State Aircraft: Hot Air Balloon
State Necklace: Squash Blossom
State Train: Cumbres and Toltec (no derailments!)
State Question: "Red or Green?" This is in reference to chile. The official answer is "Christmas," meaning both.
State Guitar: New Mexico Sunrise Guitar
State Poem: "A Nuevo Mexico" by Luis Tafoya
And finally, we have not 1, but 5 different State Songs:
State Song: "O Fair New Mexico" by Elizabeth Garrett (daughter of Sherriff Pat Garrett, who killed infamous outlaw Billy the Kid)
State Ballad: "Land of Enchantment" by Michael Martin Murphey
State Bilingual Song: "Mi Lindo Nuevo Mexico" by Pablo Mares
State Cowboy Song: "Under the New Mexico Skies" by Syd Masters
State Spanish Song: "Así Es Nuevo Méjico" by Amadeo Lucero.
We have a state appetizer, beetle and (unofficial) termite mascot. But aroma is truly a weird one.
Released just in time for Minnesota's latest blizzard! 3 days of snow fall, could set a new record
Omfg I died at the "at least I am not Detroit" , hastily made cleavland tourism video is a classic
...those snow plow names bring so much joy to my jaded, dead heart...🥲
I get very happy when I see Arizona in one of these
Speaking of which, we are getting a lot of heavy winds and rain 👍
It's been a day of endless dust where I'm at. And Flagstaff is snowed in. Send that snow down to the Valley...
@@onlyastaronlythesea I am sadly not in Flag 😭😭
I too am in the Valley lol
Scoop there it is is probably my favorite.
Snowing 15"-25" of snow here in MN today and tomorrow!! 🌨️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Just to make clear, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has eight districts. It's purely an administrative thing, and only people in the Department or people working in the state highway industry, i.e., engineers and contractors, know about the eight district thing. So they must have had a little contest for snowplow naming. I worked for Mn/DOT many years ago.
We do love our snow plows in MN. They're so very important to living here.
I was in my class when all our phones (including the professor) when toffee with the Hazmat warning about the Nitric acid spill. Scared the crap outta everyone, and one of my first thoughts was that I hope it made it on table news
3:13 - Blooper: "I desperately needa poop." Nearly pooped myself at that.
Had to watch the MinnesNowda section multiple times. Lol😂 Genius!
This will affect the trout population
Doesn't just about everything?
@@ladykoiwolfe pretty much
I hate myself for having the urge to say only in Ohio
"That's awful!"
"At least I'm not Detroit?"
Bro! That was a good one! LMAO
The fact that my brain autocorrected Minnesota to Minne-SNOW-ta makes me giggle
Was sitting here thinking that the “Han Snowlo” would be my favorite and then he said “Sleetwood Mac”. 😂
That opening was AWESOME
I was on the phone with my hubby when he was talking about dust storms outside of Tucson. Saw the headline that evening. Best we can determine, he barely missed being caught in it. (And when he saw the video linked to the news story I sent him, he said all the tires were intact which means the driver was either messing with his phone, or fell asleep at the wheel. I haven't followed up on the news to see if anything was said regarding the how/why.)
This is the happiest I've seen Ben's on show character
Non-toxically hilarious!!
Best intro ever, thankyou Minnesota.
“MinneSNOWta” I love it!
ok, I am starting to feel the love here in MN, but still no tour date... We are only getting like 18 inches of snow right now...
Seeing as most news outlets beyond the locals completely ignored the Nitric Acid spill less than 10 miles from my house and the houses of my family and friends, thanks for mentioning it.
Arizona isn’t usually worth mentioning for anything but like…that was a big deal here in Tucson.
Is this a first time hearing about our plows because we’ve had some amazing names…
I mean Darth Blader and the Truck formerly known as Plow was 2021
2022 Gave us Ctrl Salt Delete The Big Leplowski and Betty Whiteout
I love that my state is getting the recognition we deserve
"I did to it what I did to most disasters and set it on fire"
Yep. Nailed Ohio there.
ye we needed to hear the names
This may have genuinely been the most I’ve laughed of any of these skits (and I do thoroughly enjoy them)
As a Minnesotan, that is our most important news.
You forgot the part where it was the EPA lighting things on fire and FEMA tried to tell Ohio to go pound sand, and that the EPA CURRENTLY says it is perfectly fine and safe despite the lung irritation, lesions, fish and wildlife deaths, rashes, burning eyes, and headaches! Good times!
And you forgot about the part of how setting it on fire now is better than letting it sit and make things worse in the long term.
I heard OH's gov told FEMA to pound sand.
Not used to being early. Keep up the good work ben!
I'm surprised California didn't mention the blizzard in SoCal
Did love the Minnesnowota bit
As a Minnesotan I approve
It's kinda horrifying that I get a better idea of current affairs from a comedy sketch than from the actual news
As someone who lives in Minneapolis, thank you for talking about our snow plows! lol
As an Ohioan, I'm excited to see us portrayed beyond being the butt of (really funny) jokes, but I'm sad that this was the thing that got us there!
When you search up Ohio on anything you just get a bunchof only in Ohio jokes and it might just be me but I and getting quite tired of it.
upvote for that intro alone. That is genuinely laugh out loud hilarious
Ben had to much fun with the snow plow names.
I myself am not from Minnesota. But I am from IL. So nice to see we are not in the news this week. But we are always a mess somewhere. Ben ur awesome kid. Keep up the good work.
Other Minnasoda snow plows include Betty whiteout and the big laplowsky
The chemicals from the derailment are in the Ohio River watershed. I'm just outside of Cleveland, which is in the Lake Erie watershed. So I'm safe; all that poison is going to flow down the the Mississippi and into the Gulf ... with my daughter living in St. Pete. Yeah, this sucks.
Ohio: "At least I'm not Detriot?"
Me: "Fun times in Cleveland again, still Cleveland!"
Scotland had similar snowplough/ gritter names & you can see where they are in the winter on a website. Is great.
Gov acting like all these train derailments aren't DIRECTLY his fault because he's the one in charge of making sure they're safe is so on point for the Gov.
(yes the companies ABSOLUTELY cut safety corners out of greed, but the government is the one in charge of safety regulation and if they were doing their job the corners wouldn't be able to be cut in the first place.)
Oh! I almost forgot to watch The Exciting of Trains today! Thanks for the reminder Ben!
I *love* that not only did you include a reference to the Hastily-Made Cleveland Tourism video, but that you also stuck the landing with the followup. 😂
Othe joy from the names... and the horror of the disasters... so a typical week.
I want Canada to name our plows too. But we'd run out of names before reaching the halfway point.
This sketch may have just become my favorite
I am a Minnesotan nap first part makes my heart swell with Viking pride
This is the greatest thing to happen since I've lived in Minnesota
As a Spartan, no snow plan name will ever be better than Trouble With The Cold Snap. IYKYK
Weirdly enough, a bunch of Federal people were involved with the Ohio one, and kept arresting reporters trying to record anything.
I only heard of one arrest. Still one too many, but were there more?
@@DrewKime Apparently, there were a few. I'd understand barring them from getting too close because... Y'know, toxic chemicals and all. But arresting them seems... Suspicious, honestly. Not really another word for it, besides just "weird", and that doesn't really communicate how alarming it is.
@@MrJinglejanglejingle The one that I heard of was in the room waiting for a press conference. They kept delaying, eventually he had to go live. Someone decided that him standing in the back of the room talking was more distracting than dragging him out.
My allegiance is to Wisconsin, but I have a love for Minnesota when it comes to the snow plows.
I'm thinking maybe trains are going to be the 1st quarter theme this year, but what will be the overarching plot?
The plot will just be chaos and that is the plot of this decade./g
PSR
The seems very much to be something best said by R.E.M. - "It's the end of the world as we know it".
I'm not trying to be dramatic here, but shits just kinda off the rails lately...
😜
I couldn't help it - had to.... I'll go now. 😜
@@Broadpaw_Fox 😑
@The Railroad Guy - I know., I know - I just had to. It's the joke that deserved to be said!
