Fun fact from AP US history that the US territory question reminded me of: back when Cuba and the US were allies, they signed an agreement where the US would rent land in Cuba yearly for a military base (which ended up being Guantanamo bay) and they would only end the contract if both sides agreed. When the US and Cuba became enemies, Cuba tried to end the agreement, but the US refused because having a military base in enemy territory is pretty useful. So to this day every year the US sends a big check to Cuba for the land, and each year Cuba refuses to cash it out of spite.
As a Florida man, I am shocked and horrified that we're not the southernmost state. I even went to the Southernmost Point with my Boy Scout troop in middle school. My entire life was a lie.
34:16 Correction boys, the Statue of Liberty is not on Staten Island, it's on Liberty Island and falls under joint ownership by New York and New Jersey. Staten Island is over the Goethals bridge from New Jersey and is one of the five boroughs of New York City.
Correction to your correction: Liberty island is geographically part of new york despite being under the political control of the port authority, a joint project between new york and new jersey. There aren't parts of the united states that are part of two states at once. (in fact Ohio and Michigan fought the only war between two states over this issue when both states claimed the city of toledo, ohio (and/or toledo, michigan). Ohio won).

Fun fact: The legacy of New Amsterdam can be found in the colors of New York's professional sports teams today: the Knicks, Islanders, and Mets all sport orange, blue, and white -- the colors of the original Dutch tricolor flag. Also, the New York neighborhood of Harlem got its name from the Dutch town of Haarlem, which is a few miles west of Amsterdam.
The Knicks are also ‘the knickerbockers’, a name popularized by the writer Washington Irving to lampoon those NY aristocrats who prided themselves on being of Dutch descent
Just mentioning Brooklyn (Breukelen), Broadway (Brede weg/straat), Harlem (Haarlem) still got dutch origins. Pretty sure there's some Stuyvesant too besides the cigarettes
so interesting thing to note about coney dogs 1. the meat is thinner and of Greek influence compared to chili used in chili dogs. 2. Hawaiian pizza isn't invented in Hawaii, some Canadian invented it. So this isn't the first time someone invented something and naming it after a different place.
The hotdog section had me straight dead. I grew up in Flint and it is not chili haha. It's ground seasoned meat topped with mustard and onions. It's one of those foods that's delicious but you feel less like a person after.

For anyone curious about the stupid laws, there's generally four reasons they get passed: 1. A legislator in a minority that didn't want a law passed got something stupid tacked onto the law in an effort to get others to vote against it, but it got passed anyway 2. The law actually made sense once upon a time, and it's easier just to not enforce it than to go to the trouble of repealing it now (like the one about herding sheep in NYC) 3. It's not an explicit law, but an unforseen consequence of the interaction of a few unrelated laws 4. Legislators aren't actually any smarter than the rest of us, and sometimes they just make stupid laws. Sometimes you can combine categories, of course. For instance, when Rhode Island accidentally legalized prostitution (but only indoors), it was from a combination of how their anti-prostitution laws were written and a naive repeal of their anti-sodomy laws. (Not that legalizing prostitution is necessarily a bad thing, but doing so by _accident_ is pretty dumb. It got noticed in court a few years later, and it took a few more years for the legislature to agree on new anti-prostitution laws.)
While the United States National Park Service manages 423 official units, the National Parks are only a subset of these and total only 63. Making Conner the closest to question 13.

@@low_vibration BS. Take that somewhere else. You Americans treated indigenous peoples even worse than Canadians/British ever did. Friggin Indigenous holocaust.

For anyone from chat who is confused about question 12: Key West in Florida is the Southern most point of the CONTINENTAL United States meaning 48 states ( all but Alaska and HAWAII) Hawaii is an Island state that is much, much, further South that Florida. Meaning if you count all 50 states like the question implied: It's Hawaii; specifically Ka Lae (South Cape), Hawaii which is only 18.5° north of the equator. I saw one person say in quote "Stupid question, should have been more specific." I don't see how they can make that question any more specific. What do they want TT to do? Circle the answer before hand. Key words are the main focus on a test - pay attention!
To be fair Hawaii does not have the furthest south point in the US either, as Guam does exist. They probably should have said "of the listed locations, which has the southernmost point" or something.
@@mattz9268 the question was which state has the southernmost point in the US, and the answer is none of them. Guam has the southernmost point in the US
@@tobin1677 I understand that, but if the question is which is the southernmost state of the US, than that's what they want - the state. Like we have established, Guam is US territory, if the Question was "which is the southernmost of the US overall?" than yes, it would be Guam, but the question was asking for states ONLY.
@@mattz9268 The thing is the question isn't "which is the southernmost state of the US?" its "Which state has the southernmost point in the US". If you don't believe me go back and check question 12 on the video, it says it right there. You would be right if that was the question, but since it wasn't, well, therein lies the problem.
the reason Alaska went so cheap is because Russia really wanted to get rid of the failed colony they couldn't support without losing face (so to speak), while the parts of the US government that saw getting it as a good idea had a lot of trouble convincing everyone else (and wanted it mostly because it would be useful in the event of war with Britain (Canada not being its own thing yet) and litterally no one else (except maybe Britain, who neither the USA nor Russia really wanted to have it and would pay even Less) wanted it At All. Roughly. I may be misremembering some of the details.
20:55 Where the Quiz actually begins 22:17 Boldest assassin ever 25:55 kids these days 27:36 Tougherino 27:59 Cry harder 33:11 Garnt’s face 35:10 Educated guess 48:46 Statue of Liberty 1:33:22 Board Man going from the Video game sound episode to this made me realize how short this episode is
I used to live in Florida for 10+ years, and during question 12 I was like "oh that's easy, it's Florida, I've been there to that monument in key west" and my reaction when I found out that was a lie.... I feel betrayed by my own country 😪
When they first said an America quiz, as an American I was guessing 12-15, than they mentioned it wasn't multiple quiz only, I immediately dropped to 8-10. I am not sure whether to be happy or sad that I got 14 out of 25 as an American
I somehow got 19/25 and a couple really threw me off especially the last one which didn't even know that corner part is considered New England as all those states
They need a more energetic game host. Regardless of the good/bad questions, subtle things like, giving trivia, commentating to fill in the silence, saying "moving on", " Next question", announcing points every now and then, would add to the experience.
yeah, I feel like explaining context around some questions/answers more would make it way more entertaining. Like for example saying why it couldn't be Cuba because of the missile crisis.
Obviously the Statue of liberty was France's first attempt at a full Gundam style mech and it came out a bit weird so they scrapped the mechanical parts and gifted it as an art project

I just finished teaching my stepmom about the USA 🇺🇸 so she could pass her citizenship test. She aced it and is now a citizen, finally, after 10 years.

Connor came closest but Joey got the point. There are only 63 national PARKS. The rest are all monuments, historical sites, battlefields but are not parks.)
Fun little fact: It is theorized that the word Yankee is derived from Jan Kees, which was derogatory slang used by British colonials for Dutch colonials.
I went through the US citizenship process. When I did it, the starting cost was $800. Long process short, there are 2 parts to the test. Part 1 is a multiple choice test of 10 random questions out of a possible 100. You must get at least 7 right. When you do, the test is done. The questions are spoken. You can, actually, have a translator read the questions to you in your language. You don't even need full English comprehension for the citizenship test. Part 2 is a reading and writing part. You must read the question out loud and then write the answer in English. If you have resided less than 10 years in the US, you actually have to write an essay here. If you've lived in the US for 20+ years, you were supposed to be waived from part 2. I was told that I had to take it so after reading the question out, I went to write the answer. When I got to the 100 of the answer for "How many US Senators do we have", I just looked at the examiner and asked if he would like me to write the answer numerically or phonetically. That surprised Pikachu face was great.
So Joey and Connor actually ended up tied for 1st place. There are only 63 National Parks, but there are 423 sites in the National Park System, its a big distinction. So that would make Connor's guess of 70 for that question the correct one instead of Joey's 500. Coming out to 15 each.
Well don't forget that they gave Joey a point for Thanksgiving despite him giving the wrong answer because it was close enough, so really I think Connor was the winner.
@@tobin1677 🤔 i rewatched that part, we are both wrong. Garnt didn't get anything, but Joey did get the right answer (the answer Liberty was looking for) despite it being technically the 4th Thursday of November
@@xxkaisooxx874 the last Thursday is wrong though, that's what I'm saying, despite him being given the point. From 1863 until 1941 it was the last Thursday, but FDR changed the rule and it resulted in a fair bit of controversy at the time.
Budweiser is really not a nightmare. Its only marginally worse than Heineken. Becks was always my favorite european beer mostly because it was in "Das Boot".
I know whoever made the test used the google automated results based off the national park question. The search gives you all sites managed by the NPS which is more than just national parks
New London is a city in Connecticut. I think most people in the US who know that New York used to be New Amsterdam probably learned it from the song “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” which has the line “Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can’t say. People just liked it better that way.” But the real reason is because the Dutch lost the city to the English so they renamed it. Edit: And if it makes them feel any better, I’ve never heard of a Coney Dog and also guessed New York for the same reason they did.
29:26 It is the fourth Thursday of November. This means it is the last Thursday, 5 out of 7 years. This was the compromise made in 1942 due to FDR changing the date from the last Thursday (The original day set by Abraham Lincon) to the third Thursday. This caused many arguments between the two political parties before they reached the compromise on the fourth Thursday of November.
10:04 minesweeper is not actually solvable, at least not the windows version. They don't check whether it has a unique solution, and you can end up in a 50/50 situation if there isn't enough info. I'm surprised he never got such a situation in his 5 hours.
There was a song called “Istanbul” by They Might Be Giants, and it was featured in Tiny Toons. A line from the song was: “Even old New York, Was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it I can’t say. People just liked it better that way.” And that trivia as stuck with me for over 20years now.
As a Detroit native, a Coney dog is an all beef frank on a steamed bun with Detroit style chilli, onions, and mustard. Dont let people see you put ketchup on it.
@@yanguskhan8513 That gets into some heated history. All that can be confirmed is that it was Greek immigrants who lived in New York near Coney Island around the time the American Hotdog was made. They Moved west and started some restaraunts. The main argument is between American Coney Isand, Lafayette Coney Island, and Todoroffs Coney Island in Jackson. They all argue about who the true originator was. Havent had Todoroffs, but, in my opinion, Lafayette > American.
Clevelander here which is a sort of cousin to detroit (we also eat thin crust pizza cut square) and yes, you're allowed to put ketchup on pizza until you're 10 or 12 and after that its a serious faux pas.
Listen, as a New Yorker, I'd love to fight yous over this shit but you live in Detroit. Yous already got it rough enough, might as well let you have this one
I'm still confused how the thing is called a Coney Dog is not from Coney Island lol but from Detroit well at least that's one W for the city since the lions will never get one
Here’s how I figured out chloroform for the alcohol given my US history knowledge: Prohibition was the main cause of mafia type groups coming to fruition; they were made regarding the bootlegging of alcohol. Since kidnapping with chloroform is something associated with the mafia, it makes sense that it could’ve come with bootleggers having a lot of the stuff and using in for mafia crimes

My grandmother would give me 2 dollars bills every year for my birthday. Now I have a huge collection of them and they're just sitting there, but they're pretty cool to bring out and show people.
Interesting tidbit about the $2 bill, it's not rare but is the rarest current legal tender. This is because back in the 50s and 60s a ton of bills got axed from public circulation and the $2 was one of them leaving only the $1 (Washington), $5 (Lincoln), $10 (Hamilton), $20 (Jackson), and $100 (Benjamin) as publicly available. This is what started the idea of $2 being rare, however it was brought back in the 1970s as a cost-saver for the US Federal Reserve after leaving the Gold Standard and reentered circulation and is minted to this day. Despite that most people (including myself) hoard these bills just because they account for less than a thousandth of a percent of minted US currency, given that's still over a billion bills and about half a million enter circulation each year. Also fun fact about Andrew Jackson on the $20, he is the US president notorious for loathing paper/printed currency and didn't trust banking systems (especially national banks). The guy was positively insane, but given it's because of this mindset that he's also the reason the US was debt free during the 1830s, the first and last time ever in US history.
as a michigander this coney dog talk is killing me it's gotta be a vienna dog specifically (all beef dog, natural casing) that's fried in oil instead of grilled, topped with a beef chili, raw onion, and yellow mustard.

So, to the new employee: next time maybe you can read the questions out loud and also say the answer? just a sugestion, the bouncing makes watching more dynamic
Fun fact : There is also a Statue of Liberty in France, although it is smaller. Other fun fact : The Alaska purchase was heavily criticized when it happened. A lot of people thought they just bought a lot of useless land. Little did they know about the oil... (And also how strategic it turned out to be for later)
Connor: "I will win, I'm practically American."
Also Connor (20 mins later): "it's not fair! You're both with Americans!"

I wouldn't know since I'm South African, but I know they wouldn't be as popular here as in America
@@IonizedComa Would be my guess too
Get rekt 🤣
Hey guys, love the quiz as always! Quick question, is it maybe possible next time to say the answer of the question as well like "The answer was C Cuba" for example? Love listening to these in an audio format and can't really make out half the quiz sometimes
joe: usa doesn't have official language because it would class with native americans
guys i think joe is in for a shock if he learns about American peoples history with native americans
Goes perfectly well with them not knowing who's on the $20.
to be fair smallpox did most of the work and it's not all that different from the japanese treatment of the ainu
@@low_vibration BS. Take that somewhere else. You Americans treated indigenous peoples even worse than Canadians/British ever did. Friggin Indigenous holocaust.
@@ravenwraith1017 well first of all north america was a bloodbath long before the Europeans arrived. Death by torture and enslavement were the norm in tribal warfare. I never said the us was good to the pre Columbian tribes but smallpox wiped 90% of them out. How do you think small bands of conquistadors took down the aztecs and inca? The fact that you lump them all under indigenous makes you sound like a british colonizer in 1870s africa. Do tell were the cherokee magic when they fought alongside the confederacy for their right to own black people?
@@low_vibration my guy did you just said small like nearly all of the Spanish people went there its not just the conquistadors its also the merchants and people who wanted to made a name the first good map of America is made from the blood of the natives bc of the whole el Dorado event
For anyone from chat who is confused about question 12:
Key West in Florida is the Southern most point of the CONTINENTAL United States meaning 48 states ( all but Alaska and HAWAII)
Hawaii is an Island state that is much, much, further South that Florida. Meaning if you count all 50 states like the question implied: It's Hawaii; specifically Ka Lae (South Cape), Hawaii which is only 18.5° north of the equator.
I saw one person say in quote "Stupid question, should have been more specific."
I don't see how they can make that question any more specific. What do they want TT to do? Circle the answer before hand. Key words are the main focus on a test - pay attention!
To be fair Hawaii does not have the furthest south point in the US either, as Guam does exist. They probably should have said "of the listed locations, which has the southernmost point" or something.
@@tobin1677 Guam is us territory. The question was for US states
@@mattz9268 the question was which state has the southernmost point in the US, and the answer is none of them. Guam has the southernmost point in the US
@@tobin1677 I understand that, but if the question is which is the southernmost state of the US, than that's what they want - the state.
Like we have established, Guam is US territory, if the Question was "which is the southernmost of the US overall?" than yes, it would be Guam, but the question was asking for states ONLY.
@@mattz9268 The thing is the question isn't "which is the southernmost state of the US?" its "Which state has the southernmost point in the US". If you don't believe me go back and check question 12 on the video, it says it right there. You would be right if that was the question, but since it wasn't, well, therein lies the problem.
Joey: I don't think donkeys are capable of staying alive in Arizona
The entire Grand Canyon: Am I a joke to you?
the reason Alaska went so cheap is because Russia really wanted to get rid of the failed colony they couldn't support without losing face (so to speak), while the parts of the US government that saw getting it as a good idea had a lot of trouble convincing everyone else (and wanted it mostly because it would be useful in the event of war with Britain (Canada not being its own thing yet) and litterally no one else (except maybe Britain, who neither the USA nor Russia really wanted to have it and would pay even Less) wanted it At All.
Roughly. I may be misremembering some of the details.
To add more context, the reason they sold it is because not only do they need money after the Crimean War, it also to deny the British from taking it
I mean if this is information from the US, the chances any of the details resemble reality is close to zero.

Man going from the Video game sound episode to this made me realize how short this episode is
I used to live in Florida for 10+ years, and during question 12 I was like "oh that's easy, it's Florida, I've been there to that monument in key west" and my reaction when I found out that was a lie.... I feel betrayed by my own country 😪
The contiguous United States is the caveat Key West used. An understandable mistake honestly
you always thought you lived closer to the placenta
When they first said an America quiz, as an American I was guessing 12-15, than they mentioned it wasn't multiple quiz only, I immediately dropped to 8-10. I am not sure whether to be happy or sad that I got 14 out of 25 as an American
Most natural born citizens would fail the actual citizenship test. So like pretend this is a mini version of that
same american here got 14/25
I somehow got 19/25 and a couple really threw me off especially the last one which didn't even know that corner part is considered New England as all those states
pretty proud of myself im english and got 21
Don't worry I'll make you guys feel better cause i got 7 :,D
They need a more energetic game host. Regardless of the good/bad questions, subtle things like, giving trivia, commentating to fill in the silence, saying "moving on", " Next question", announcing points every now and then, would add to the experience.
Completely agree
yeah, I feel like explaining context around some questions/answers more would make it way more entertaining. Like for example saying why it couldn't be Cuba because of the missile crisis.
Take a shot for every time Garnt called a Coney dog, "a hot dog with onions" and completely ignored every time they said it's a chilli dog lmao.
Old age is getting to him
Lmao, that pissed me off so much
Coney dogs are alright but that shit made me rage
connors face when garnt sneezes is in absolute fear and confusion. i love it
Joey: "Is Eleanor Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt's wife?"
Liberty: "Yes."
Me: "NO!"
Fucking hell.
My eyes rolled so far into my head, I need to get to the ER.
yeah, Eleanor Roosevelt was Franklin D. Roosevelt's wife. FDR was Teddy Roosevelt's fifth cousin
pretty sure they corrected it later in the vid, it’s not that serious
Obviously the Statue of liberty was France's first attempt at a full Gundam style mech and it came out a bit weird so they scrapped the mechanical parts and gifted it as an art project
Thanksgiving is the fourth (not last) Thursday in November. Sometimes November has 5 Thursdays.
this is the first stream i fully watched live and didn`t regret it. it was very good expirience, will repeat it when i`ll get a chance
Benzaldehyde is often used as an artificial flavoring for almond or cherry.
Potassium ferrocyanide is used in blueprinting.
Vinegar is largely dilute acetic acid. Traditionally made when yeast over oxidize sugars from ethanol to acetic acid.
Chloroform is regularly used as an organic solvent, especially deuterated chloroform while performing nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
To those wondering why Trash Taste Stream 27 isn't uploaded, the reason why is explained at 1:44:14
Thanks... I was wondering what the f... was happening...
Garnt's sneeze jump scare is legitimately my favorite part of this stream 🤣🤣 Conner's face is priceless
I just finished teaching my stepmom about the USA 🇺🇸 so she could pass her citizenship test. She aced it and is now a citizen, finally, after 10 years.
It's annoying that there isn't an explanation along with the right answer as it would make it educational and the boys could learn something.
I’ve recently started watching the tests they do lately and there always a good episode I hope they do another YLYL again tho the first was kinda scuffed cause some of the best clips got cut off way too early
Connor came closest but Joey got the point. There are only 63 national PARKS. The rest are all monuments, historical sites, battlefields but are not parks.)
Fun little fact: It is theorized that the word Yankee is derived from Jan Kees, which was derogatory slang used by British colonials for Dutch colonials.
I went through the US citizenship process. When I did it, the starting cost was $800.
Long process short, there are 2 parts to the test.
Part 1 is a multiple choice test of 10 random questions out of a possible 100. You must get at least 7 right. When you do, the test is done. The questions are spoken. You can, actually, have a translator read the questions to you in your language. You don't even need full English comprehension for the citizenship test.
Part 2 is a reading and writing part. You must read the question out loud and then write the answer in English. If you have resided less than 10 years in the US, you actually have to write an essay here. If you've lived in the US for 20+ years, you were supposed to be waived from part 2. I was told that I had to take it so after reading the question out, I went to write the answer. When I got to the 100 of the answer for "How many US Senators do we have", I just looked at the examiner and asked if he would like me to write the answer numerically or phonetically. That surprised Pikachu face was great.
So Joey and Connor actually ended up tied for 1st place. There are only 63 National Parks, but there are 423 sites in the National Park System, its a big distinction. So that would make Connor's guess of 70 for that question the correct one instead of Joey's 500. Coming out to 15 each.
Well don't forget that they gave Joey a point for Thanksgiving despite him giving the wrong answer because it was close enough, so really I think Connor was the winner.
@@tobin1677 it was actually Garnt that got the point since he got the Thursday part right
@@xxkaisooxx874 You may want to rewatch that, Garnt got nothing since he said October. After Q3 Joey had full points while the other 2 were at 2.
@@tobin1677 🤔 i rewatched that part, we are both wrong. Garnt didn't get anything, but Joey did get the right answer (the answer Liberty was looking for) despite it being technically the 4th Thursday of November
@@xxkaisooxx874 the last Thursday is wrong though, that's what I'm saying, despite him being given the point. From 1863 until 1941 it was the last Thursday, but FDR changed the rule and it resulted in a fair bit of controversy at the time.
Garnt thought that hot dogs always come with chili and he said it like four times in the Coney Dog bit....ffs
I genuinely got jump scared when Garnt sneezed at the end
As a new englander from Boston, MA and now a Marylander- this episode hurt my soul
After thinking Budweiser was a GOOD beer, yes. Yes, you pass.
All you need now is a gun license, and your good to go.
It's America; you barely need that license in like 2/3 of the states.
Budweiser is really not a nightmare. Its only marginally worse than Heineken.
Becks was always my favorite european beer mostly because it was in "Das Boot".
Don't forget stealing other nations natural resources 🤣
@@mr.m2659 Hey now, a lot of countries do that. We just do it in the most blatantly loud and obvious way possible :D
Budweiser itself is great, bud light is for summers only.
I know whoever made the test used the google automated results based off the national park question. The search gives you all sites managed by the NPS which is more than just national parks
42:57 Gigguk forgot that it's chili, cheese, and onions on the hotdog and not only onions for a coney dog 😆
$2 bills are uncommon but I've never known them to be rare.
New London is a city in Connecticut.
I think most people in the US who know that New York used to be New Amsterdam probably learned it from the song “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” which has the line “Even old New York was once New Amsterdam. Why they changed it, I can’t say. People just liked it better that way.”
But the real reason is because the Dutch lost the city to the English so they renamed it.
Edit: And if it makes them feel any better, I’ve never heard of a Coney Dog and also guessed New York for the same reason they did.
I hope Man In A Motel animates the part at 1:43 where Garnt asks "Is there a test you need to do when you apply for American Citizenship?"
connor is literally a couple small steps away from being homeless- already has the 1 outfit and lack of bathing down
This just makes me realise how similar old people and homeless people arw
29:26 It is the fourth Thursday of November. This means it is the last Thursday, 5 out of 7 years. This was the compromise made in 1942 due to FDR changing the date from the last Thursday (The original day set by Abraham Lincon) to the third Thursday. This caused many arguments between the two political parties before they reached the compromise on the fourth Thursday of November.
When the New York name question came up I just started hearing they might be giants.
Istanbul (not Constantinople)
Same, I don't think I saw anyone in chat mention it but I didn't start looking until after the answer was revealed.
Maryland and Delaware are considered Mid-Atlantic states because of their location.
Canadian thanksgiving is in October, so Garnt could have confused it with that by chance.
Just noticed. Questioner is named "Liberty".
10:04 minesweeper is not actually solvable, at least not the windows version. They don't check whether it has a unique solution, and you can end up in a 50/50 situation if there isn't enough info. I'm surprised he never got such a situation in his 5 hours.
To be fair if it took 5 hours to solve 1 he probably did and didn't realize.
There was a song called “Istanbul” by They Might Be Giants, and it was featured in Tiny Toons.
A line from the song was:
“Even old New York,
Was once New Amsterdam.
Why they changed it
I can’t say.
People just liked it better that way.”
And that trivia as stuck with me for over 20years now.
That's the only reason I knew it lmao I saw them live like maybe 9 years ago
Question 9 is extra tricky because Benjamin Franklin was actually never a US president, just one of the Founding Fathers
my god, it took me forever to scroll until I could find someone as equally smart who pointed this out lol
The boys thought Delaware was in New England when reality it next to Maryland.
Joey calling idaho Midwest had me pissed, it's farther west than Arizona.
30:00 Garnt was obviously thinking of canadian thanksgiving, which IS in October
As a Detroit native, a Coney dog is an all beef frank on a steamed bun with Detroit style chilli, onions, and mustard. Dont let people see you put ketchup on it.
wasnt it because the guy originally was from new york and missed the coney island hot dog and wanted to make his own??
@@yanguskhan8513 That gets into some heated history. All that can be confirmed is that it was Greek immigrants who lived in New York near Coney Island around the time the American Hotdog was made. They Moved west and started some restaraunts. The main argument is between American Coney Isand, Lafayette Coney Island, and Todoroffs Coney Island in Jackson. They all argue about who the true originator was. Havent had Todoroffs, but, in my opinion, Lafayette > American.
Clevelander here which is a sort of cousin to detroit (we also eat thin crust pizza cut square) and yes, you're allowed to put ketchup on pizza until you're 10 or 12 and after that its a serious faux pas.
Listen, as a New Yorker, I'd love to fight yous over this shit but you live in Detroit. Yous already got it rough enough, might as well let you have this one
I'm still confused how the thing is called a Coney Dog is not from Coney Island lol but from Detroit well at least that's one W for the city since the lions will never get one
This is definitely not the us citizenship test. The amount of clowning on America as they take this quiz lmao
Joey: “the Disco Eighties”
Despite the fact that Disco was the tail end of the 70’s…
New Wave Eighties.
“I’ve never seen Abraham Lincoln without his hat”
Literally almost ever picture of him is without his hat lmao

“What’s up New England! This is old England!”

It's gonna be great to finally see you guys in person when you guys come on tour!
Here’s how I figured out chloroform for the alcohol given my US history knowledge:
Prohibition was the main cause of mafia type groups coming to fruition; they were made regarding the bootlegging of alcohol. Since kidnapping with chloroform is something associated with the mafia, it makes sense that it could’ve come with bootleggers having a lot of the stuff and using in for mafia crimes
The lady in the back sounds like a text to speech bot LMAO
After watching Garnt’s performance on OTK’s game show, im hoping he will redeem himself here
Boy did he disappoint 😅
could you provide a link?
I just went through a drive thru after watching this, and the person in front of me had an Idaho license plate, and it actually says famous potatoes on it...
Garnt, you know that Great Britain is called that not because it's amazing, but because it's the largest of the British isles, right?
My grandmother would give me 2 dollars bills every year for my birthday. Now I have a huge collection of them and they're just sitting there, but they're pretty cool to bring out and show people.
it feels odd seeing just the boys when we’ve had a slew of guests
Interesting tidbit about the $2 bill, it's not rare but is the rarest current legal tender. This is because back in the 50s and 60s a ton of bills got axed from public circulation and the $2 was one of them leaving only the $1 (Washington), $5 (Lincoln), $10 (Hamilton), $20 (Jackson), and $100 (Benjamin) as publicly available. This is what started the idea of $2 being rare, however it was brought back in the 1970s as a cost-saver for the US Federal Reserve after leaving the Gold Standard and reentered circulation and is minted to this day. Despite that most people (including myself) hoard these bills just because they account for less than a thousandth of a percent of minted US currency, given that's still over a billion bills and about half a million enter circulation each year.
Also fun fact about Andrew Jackson on the $20, he is the US president notorious for loathing paper/printed currency and didn't trust banking systems (especially national banks). The guy was positively insane, but given it's because of this mindset that he's also the reason the US was debt free during the 1830s, the first and last time ever in US history.
Drinking game idea: take a sip every time they mention Johnny Harris xD
as a michigander this coney dog talk is killing me
it's gotta be a vienna dog specifically (all beef dog, natural casing) that's fried in oil instead of grilled, topped with a beef chili, raw onion, and yellow mustard. IT'S NOT JUST A REGULAR HOT DOG WITH ONION, OKAY THIS IS IMPORTANT TO US I WILL NOT HAVE OUR CULTURE STOMPED ON BY MR ALL BREAD TASTES THE SAME
you can go anywhere in central MI and run into like 10 coney island diners wherever you go, and you're legally obligated to go to one and order 2 coney dogs + a vernor's when visiting MI for the first time
I always love it when one says something confidently enough that another goes yeah thats right when its completely wrong.
Garnt: The island that the statue of liberty is on
Connor: yeah
My friends and I do this often then later one of us will go WTF were we thinking.
I feel sorry for that one friend who was right but wasn’t confident enough or wasn’t believed
Joey getting that Thanksgiving point is rigged, 2/7 times it isn't the last Thursday.
So, to the new employee: next time maybe you can read the questions out loud and also say the answer? just a sugestion, the bouncing makes watching more dynamic
Fun fact : There is also a Statue of Liberty in France, although it is smaller.
Other fun fact : The Alaska purchase was heavily criticized when it happened. A lot of people thought they just bought a lot of useless land. Little did they know about the oil... (And also how strategic it turned out to be for later)
As an American I am excited to see how this goes
Vinegar is made from coconut water, fermented and/or spoil to activate the acidity of the coconut water.
I like this type of quizzes. It would be nice though to know a bit more info on the choices or answers to at least explain stuff away.
I really didn't think I cared until Conner guessed Idaho. You go boy.
Listening to this as a historian is like a torture game
