As a born and raised Montanan I can confidently say, “Get lost” and “Montana is full, but I heard North Dakota is nice”
Summer is hot and humid winter is cold and lasts till late April
North Dakota is full. Send 'em south
Montana seems like a nice place to live if you like being an introvert and don't mind 9 months of winter.
Ah my true home.
Sick of the Floridian summer here. Sign me the fuck up.
Eh, Winter's only six months or so. And the mountains are gorgeous.
ah, maybe one day
Sounds a lot like northern scandinavia..
Literally every Rocky Mountain state can be called by yelling "Californians go home."
Okay, your comment actually made me laugh out loud 🤣
“We can’t afford to!”
@@KireaPhillips_superj0ka Yeah, it's a shame what weak crime policies, taxes for bloated social programs, and politicians allowing China to buy real-estate will do to a State. The large NGO and other farm companies strong arming farmers into being held under large corporations don't help either in many states. If it keeps up across the States with people and companies from foreign countries being allowed to buy and hold American land most Americans won't be able to afford to live and will be forced to settle for survival.
@@riverlady982 lmao..so the way it has been for a very long time??? and its a red state, so explain that.ill wait
Absolutely true. Those child-rapists shut down half of Butte to film another prequel to Yellowstone. Just showed up and doubled rent for everyone
As a man from Montana, thanks for making the video length 406
IFYKYK
Must've lost a second somehow; it's 4:05 on my phone.
I’m confused why?
Hank Green, is that you?
@@anthonysopkow7345 used to live down the street from the crash course offices actually
As a Montanan who grew up in Florida this makes my brain happy
Your not a damn montanan till you've survived 40 winters here ask an old timer. I was born here and still don't claim to be a true montanan
Any relation to Matt Vincent perchance?
wouldn't growing up in Florida make you a Floridian?
@@TinyTyranitar95350 I’m a cross breed :)
Hank Green is that you?
As a Native Montanan who graduated from High School in '95, I can't believe how spot on you got it! It wasn't just the I-90 that had no speed limit though, it was every highway and interstate outside of the city limits of a town.
That's still pretty accurate to the most part on the back roads. It's just a matter of knowing where to go
@@kimberlyhammond9803 that is until that one single cop decides to take a stroll down that highway
@@choelstad91 True. But most the time they use Dummy Cops here. Especially in Lakeside 😂😂
@@kimberlyhammond9803 I've seen those dummy cops in lakeside, ive also seen cops on the road.
Plains also has a dummy cop, tfalls has one on one of the roads leading to the school too
Lakeside is a crazy place lol.
I had someone pass me NB coming into lakeside, at the bottom of the hill lol.
Kicking up all sorts of dust and rocks.
But yeah when I used to deliver fuel from missoula to kalispell I could get from Costco kalispell to the fuel rack off of N reserve in 90 minutes, in a 100ft semi lol...
I live in missoula
My uncle lived in Laurel and worked in Miles City and did his commute in 45 minutes in his supercharged transam.
as a Montanan, 10/10 very accurate.
PEOPLE LIVE IN MONTANA?
@@therealkayr15 sometimes
hi hank
@@kjkj2322 you made my day!
Same. Honestly he didn't just do Eastern Montana as most do which I'm happy about.
“It’s when you grab the rear bumper of a car and slide behind it on snow or ice.”
This is literally how my Grandpa would get home from school. (We’re from Canada by the way)
hookie bobbin.lol....so fun
Loved the vid, as always! Also, given some of Ben's other collabs . . . who else was half-expecting Hank Green to ACTUALLY show up?
honestly! they should collab
In fairness, he's a very busy man.
“I also meant that” Sure sure Florida😂😂😂
I've been waiting for Montana for ever. Chill dude who hates California but doesn't mind everything else because distance is the great calming factor that keeps our people from getting on each others nerves.
the problem is all the morons moving here from California, in Bozeman housing went from $200k for a three bed two bath house ,now they're $820k ( in just 4 years)
@@LANCEtheBOIL wow, that's stunning & sad! I'm in a different part of the state, near Glacier. Our property prices haven't escalated quite that much. Wishing you the best my friend.
I wouldn’t say he’s chill. He’s got the same CPVI as Indiana and Mississippi. He is NOT to be trusted.
you say this about our state, which has one of the highest gun violence rates, and also SHOT PEOPLE for legally accessing hiking trails.
As a Montanan I can say this is completely accurate
Big fan of you hank
I'm from Scotland so please don't hold it against me but I thought it was Montananites like manhattanite 😓. I apologise to all Montanans for getting it wrong.
@@morgancollins1863 Lol as a Montanan that is funny as hell, Don't feel bad, I just recently figured out that people from Oregon are called Oregonians, lol
Me too! This is completely accurate to here 😂😂😂
I didn't know what hookie bobbing was called. I knew what it was, just not what it was called.
Need a follow up from Hank Green -- that would be total *chef's kiss*
I was half expecting Hank Green to show up as Montana
I'm so glad Montana finally got the intro it deserves. I grew up there and I always felt like we were Florida but with snow. Just wait until Ben finds out about the Vigilante day parade.
Ooof, trying to explain to non-locals why our state troopers still honor lawless murderers...
Yes
I want to see him talk to DC about it
Or about Lewistown having a giant missile in a park.
@@c0ppercreeper251 the privately owned tanks aren't to be overlooked either
You somehow managed to hit that combination of cowboy and ski-bum that sums us up perfectly. Bravo
Grew up in Great Falls, and I remember an unofficial slogan was "You're welcome to stay. Over there. Stay over there." Also, the speed limit was "reasonable and prudent" over the entire state. Not just I-90. But, like every other person not from MT, you only know the I-90 corridor...where all of CA and NY have moved to (and Kalispell) and turned it into CA and NY.
Im sad I didn’t get to see Hank Green as montanna
everything ben does just makes me happy :3
Same!
fr
Ong nigga
Yes
The only thing missing was a joke about the Berkeley Pit
One time I went to the visitor center with a towel and swim trunks 😂😂
Thankfully I wasn't the only one who was disappointed in that. But to be honest it was briefly mentioned in a roundabout way with Florida's snow geese comment
Lifelong Montanan here. This is eerily accurate. And yes, don't move here, the locals DO NOT like out of staters moving here.
You can also tell where people live in Montana just by looking at their license plate number. That should have gotten an honorable mention.
Ah, 3C? Billings, huh? Neat.
@@rhyla5719 5C is Lewis and Clark County. 7C is the Flathead. 4C? Missoula. It is pretty neat and I don't any other states that have that.
It gets real awkward when you move from one county to another. People would know you're not originally from there. Lol.
If you get the regular joe schmoe yeah but my starts with BFJ
Fun fact about that was all based on the population of the county when the enacted the number for county that's why Butte is one it had the largest population in Montana at the time.
@@rhyla5719 quite a few southern states like GA put the county name on the plate
Fun fact about montana. We are so large because we got wyoming and idaho cartographers drunk while deciding the state lines and straight up redrew it how we wanted. The old idaho border was the continental divide the whole west edge of montana
omg I hope this is true!! love it
As a Montananan, this is 99.9% accurate. The only thing wrong is us talking to DC without cussing them out.
True Dat
And we hate both Dakotas.
Yeah... Removing the Montana Militia was a mistake
Very true. Just one of the reasons we send Jon Tester to DC.
Fellow Montanan here, I agree as well.
I loved in Criminal Minds that the one time they go to Montana, the old guy on the team went, "And they phoned US?"
Gov: "Florida, how do you call Wyoming?"
FL: "Who's Wyoming?"
Wyoming: *gets blown in by the wind, completely confused as to where he is*
@@F0UR3V3R
As a raised Wyomingite, it’s not so much of a confusion of Where… but Why
@@wyolaskan1868 that's what people from Wyoming are called... Wyomingites...?
@@emagithesimp942
Yep!
Can we just appreciate how many accounts Hank Green had to make to post how happy this video makes him as a Montanan
As a Montanian, I can say that this is the most accurate representation of Montana you will ever see. We're all a bunch of Texas, California, and North Dakota hating cowboys with six month winters and governed by our supreme leader, Hank Green
Yes!! My home state is represented, and the kids in my life are celebrating like hell to be included on the Table. Thanks, Ben! 💜🤗👍
Montana also has the shortest river in the United States. Also, we have to have Powder days because there's no such thing as snow days for schools or businesses.
Montana: *opens his mouth*
DC: 😲
Florida: 🤷♂️
🤣🤣🤣
As a person living in Montana just imagine 9 months of winter and 3 months of not snow LOL
My parents have the perfect analogy for Montana, "There's two seasons here, winter and road construction."
@@jacedostal4399 Really I heard the version where we do have all four seasons.
Almost Winter. Winter. Still Winter, and Construction.
Duh.
If we're lucky 😂😂😂
Our Weather is Bipolar and doesn't like to give us Seasons 🤣🤣
What montana did you grow up in?
The less summer the better. Plus, there are plenty of other places to live.
FINALLY! I've been waiting for Montana to join the table! So happy to see it's finally here!
My uncle who lives in Coram MT would say the tourism motto was leave your money and go home. Glacier is stunning.
It really is. I'm lucky I grew up in the Flathead Valley. We would always take Field Trips to Glacier Park for school
So excited to see MT join the table! And thanks for the mention of our new congressional district. Also love that FL and MT seem to hit it off so well, can't wait to see more. But gotta shout out to ID on the longest undammed river. The 700-mile Yellowstone River is the longest with only small dams and lacking major diversions or levees. The 406 mile Salmon is truly undammed.
Ah this makes me happy and excited. My dad grew up in Montana and we’d always spend the summers with my grandma. Fun fact; powder days aren’t just for work, some of my dad’s buddies used to tell wild stories about their “sick days in college” lol. They’ve also got An Ri Ra in the summer, the largest Irish festival in the American west! The Irish step dance contests are so much fun and so intense lol.
We have a bunch of cool festivals up here, evil days were one the bestbut do to the family we no longer hold it. The folk festival is also a treat.
Ya it's neat but not worth giving up Knieval days.
@@meghansadventures I agree but what can we do when the family refuses Butte the ability to do it??
@@scottmontz6664 ya that's valid.
I grew up on the ND side of the ND/MT border... My 141mph "envrionmental impact" ticket on I-90 just West of Glendive in 1995 is still one of my pride and joy moments.
Friend! I got a speeding ticket those years too!! Guess my safe & prudent wasn't the officers' safe & prudent;) I wasn't going that fast, but he tried to claim it was a residential area (it wasn't). I was like, "Are you done, I have places to go." I was pulling a trailer at the time also! Yes I'm very proud of that moment, too bad someone had to ruin it for us.
@@krystalmurphy3006 we can thank texas for that one, they had a bunch of people going though in the winter thinking 80-90 was safe and prudent and when they crashed because they had never driven on ice before Texas pressured the feds to threaten Montana with the loss of national high way funding if official speeds weren't put in place, my faverate part of all that was Montana is one of a very, very few states that can get no money from the feds and still be in the black due to how our budget laws are wrighten
What were you driving?
That is such a Montana conversation.
Me waiting for Missouri, realising ben will do literally every state before Missouri 😩
😢
He’ll do Iowa last
If you join the Patreon, you get to vote on which state comes next. He uses a random generator to pick 5, then we vote. So, Ben doesn’t actually determine when states are introduced. Patrons do! 😊
Ben doesn’t decide on which state is next. Patreons pick from 5 states that are randomly selected each month.
@@lukethompson2714 Iowa is the California of the midwest. Every single state bordering it uses it as a punchline.
I mean if Florida has a solution to getting rid of the Cali transplants it's not just Montana that wants to know
@Melissa H if only
I love how everyone hates California to the point that DC says he understands hating California. 🤣🤣🤣
This Nana from Montana wants to affirm that Montana DOES have 4 seasons: Almost Winter, Winter. Still
Winter AND Construction.
And the Noth Dakota jokes are all in good fun. They reciprocate with quite witty Montana jokes of their own😉😆
“Back then, everybody wanted to push their outfit triple digits down the Montanabahn through Gopher Crotch, Montana.” 💀💀💀💀
As a Montanan I find it hilarious that Ben chose Eastern Montana slang. We all know what it means but it's just funny. Great job!
SD's quick appearance and the, "Ope! Sorry," GOT ME 😭
OMG... Montana has to be adopted by Alaska as their little brother now! 🤣
I agree! Montanans are the only lower 48ers that Alaskans respect.
We are also the 3rd largest state in the US
Montana vibes with Florida, even managed to confuse him for bits here and there?? Hats off for you Monty.
if he wants to piss off Texas for the longest time Montana had more guns per person than Texas and still holds the crown in registered guns per person than any other state, and Montana lets you own tanks with still operational cannons for street driving but the gun has to be unloaded and locked in transport position when on highways or city roads but if you are on public county roads you can have the turret unlocked but still unloaded, on private roads you just cant shoot people
any extra weapons other than the cannon, cant be mounted when on public roads but private roads we don't care
As a Montana resident, been a long time coming. I love it
i, a montanan, have been waiting for this for so long. this is wonderful.
"Hooky Bobbing" is what we call "Skitching" in Minnesota. Often its a game of Chicken to see which kid let's go last. Stopping without falling down is a challenge, too.
I've spent 21 years out of 21 years in montana and have never heard that term.
Isn't skitching with a skateboard, though? Could have sworn that was a general term.
@@Dr.Spatula - Only in a warm climate. In Minnesota, skitching is a (dumb and dangerous) way to have fun when the streets are icy and you and your friends are too young to drive.
@@pacificostudios Yeah, I live like an hour west. Skitching is still a very common term, even if you also use it in ice and snow. Tying sleds to ball hitches and shit too
@@Dr.Spatula - That's cool. I did this in the late 1970s, and it might have just been a term used in my neighborhood or town near Minneapolis. I didn't know.
"It's gonna be one of THOSE days."
Killing me over here! 😂🤣
I have been waiting to see Montana for so long by itself
The funniest but was when South Dakota appeared😂😂
YESSS!!! I was 15-19 when the speed limit changed and I know exactly where Gopher Crotch is. ND vs MT = #accurate
Something that was left out is all the river floating we do. And the fact you can get buffalo burger just about everywhere.
Keep 'em coming Ben!
As someone who brought the population of my county up to double digits im happy Montana finally showed up.
I saw this and IMMEDIATELY clicked! This should be interesting.
GO GRIZ!
My family is from Columbia falls.
No shot, I’m from Missoula
I don't even like sports and I still wear Griz merch, I'm from Missoula
@@bramcunningham1115 same!
Same!
I have a weird feeling that most of us that watch this would be from Missoula
Video was excellent but you had me hoping for a Hank Green Cameo
Is Ben a Nerdfighter???? DFTBA!!
Finally! I've been asking for months, it was worth the wait for montana
As a Montanan, I have been waiting for this video for ever! And the video is quite accurate to
10/10 accuracy lol were pretty much Florida and Texas rolled into one weird ball. Throw some snow and Canada in the mix and you've got Montana
Didn’t expect FL and MT to become friends so easily!
I'm from MT why wouldn't we lol
I did. 🤣
we're both insane. I'd be suprised if we didn't get along with florida. we just dont like california.
Montana is just Florida but you replace the constant summer with constant snow
@Jace Dostal and replace the coke with meth...
Hey Brain! Have a good day thanks for the fun videos!
I was having a pretty bad day. then I saw there was a new table intro, and it's the first time I smiled/laughed today. Thanks Ben!😃😃
Stevensville checking in. Can confirm this video is accurate
This was hilarious 😂 keep up the good work Ben! 😊
As a Montanan I can confirm that if a tourist does as much as ask me for directions they will be deprived of food for the next 9.8 days while simultaneously being tortured in my light-flickering basement
Ive been laughing and re-watching this video at least 15 times, A great video like always dude.
I've been waiting forever for this.
Yeah! More table!!
As a Florida Native, I sure am learning a lot about The People from the Great White North. So, you have.... mountains.....and the type of snow that doesn't go inside you? Wow. Interesting....🤔
The way this sketch started I was a bit surprised there wasn't a Hank green cameo but still loved it! Keep up the great work Ben
Very funny! Thankyou for the perspectives and personalities
I love that this video is our area code long. 🥰
I'm sure Montana would hate this, but everyone should try to see Glacier National Park. It's a fantasy land and completely worth every second but completely overrun by tourists (myself included)
For the love of god pls do that instead of Yellowstone. I live just outside of Yellowstone and it seems like the other lower 47 states can’t drive worth a shit 😂
I'm from Montana and can Confirm Glacier Park is Gorgeous, especially McDonald Lake. We would take Field Trips there for school literally all the time growing up and my family goes hiking up there every year. Plus they have Great Huckleberry Ice Cream
I would say that statement is accurate. I have lived here in Glacier my entire life of 38 years. I would say also that this place is a retirement destination for all types of WEFers and NWO elites. This place was founded and has been secured for a very long time by people who have gotten over on the world for centuries. I don't much care for their way of life, but for the time being, at least I know that I am safe from any kind of military presence that would at all jeopardize the comfort of the controlling class of sub-humanoid filth that makes their home here. So be it.
Kalispell is said to be named after a Flathead word for "land above the lake". At least that is what they tell the locals. There is actually a group of Native Americans that were called the Kalispel indians and notice that I spelled that with one L instead of two. Those tribes lived about three hours west in Spokane, WA.
But we did not take our name from them either. Kalispell is Kali Spell. The Spell of Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction. Charles Conrad, the founder of the town was a Freemason whose family fled their plantation after the civil war and ended up in Montana, which is why there are so many people in Montana that have that funny southern drawl. He traveled to India and is likely where the spelling came from. Spelling, get it?
The Flathead Indians were called that because they used cradleboards on the heads of their babies. This was done to emulate the appearance of those who they considered, "spirits" or "angels" with various kinds of macrocephaly.
This place is like every other, it is just that this place was set aside, and kept pristine for the "chosen".
The Earth is Flat and Motionless.
Well yeah if you live near Glacier. I was gonna say that Kalispell is already infested with rich Californians so have at it, then I read one of the comments bellow, and now I just worry for the school system there.
That's fine with us as long as people are coming to see it then leave back to where they came from.
Fantastic. Loved it, particularly the Hank Green reference. Now we just need a Hank comment to make it all golden.
As a Montanan who just moved to Florida, this makes me so incredibly happy
Well Ben Brainard has spoken. And I am happy!
As a Montana resident I can't agree with this more
I learn more about states from this show than i ever did in school.
“It’s when you grab the rear bumper of a car and slide behind it on snow or ice.”
I know that thing. We called that bumper skiing when I was growing up.
Montana is my new favorite.
As someone who has moved to montana from the southeast, not muched changed when i moved here, although i live in bozeman, so the possible housing crisis stuff hits a little close to home
I feel that! I grew up over the pass in Livingston. I had to move away because staying in the area was completely unaffordable.
I lived in Bozo 1994-2016. Land prices went up in the late 90s when a bunch of outsiders (MANY from CA) came into the county and started buying up large acreage. Property tax went up steadily for years; a 4-bed ranch house was renting out $600-$1000/room. 2010-2015 was the worst for income/expenses. Cost of living kept going up. I had a nonprofit job ($20k/yr) and had to move into 'low-income' housing -- $600 for a 650 sq ft apartment. But the Yellowstone Club kept getting new residents, Moonlight Basin was going strong, and Bridger ski passes kept going up in price. Life was hard unless you made at least $45k/yr
@@KenZchameleon Also, on the Livingston side, both now and when I lived there, loads of people would get sooooo pissed off whenever someone suggested building apartment buildings. WTF are ordinary people supposed to live, then??
@@Chonkula Seriously! I have a friend from Livingston and she had to live there and commute to Bozo for ages before she could afford to live in town... and even then she needed a roommate.
I remember when the city council put the kibosh on any housing taller than 2 stories because it would 'ruin the view' of the other residents (campus housing doesn't count). And over by the hospital, where there's nothing, it wasn't even considered. I mean, I love seeing the M, but really??????
Native montanan here.. can confirm this is very accurate 😆 we do have seasons.. pre winter, winter, second winter and construction.
1:41 even Florida is bewildered 😆
I live in Montana this is so perfect
Love that I understood everything Montana said, cause I’ve got family there. That kinda stuff sounds strange to other people
I find that to the truth with pretty much every state.
Especially with the Rocky Mountain Oyster thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Ben Brainard So happy you are feeling better! Wishing you a great recovery and incredible health!
Been waiting for this
Very funny. That's coming from a life long native. Forgot about the open speed law or lack of. I live about 8 miles outside Missoula. There's about a 5+ mile straight stretch on I90 going into town. Had a 68 RT charger & a 86 IROC at the time. Was fun to open them up going to town. Hopefully more out of staters/ California will see this and stay in their state. Oh and winter is actually only about 6 months give or take.
I want to go to Montana now.
Remember afterwards to get lost lol
Montana is full. Sorry. Try North Dakota.
As long as you come here, spend money then leave.
Visit, then go away. Politely.
OK - this was WAY more fun then I expected. I am definitely going to “like & subscribe”. Thanks…
2:36 thank you for this Brainard
If Florida has found out how to send Californians back to California, I know 48 other states that are eager to hear how!
Maine definitely wants to know!! I wonder if the same tactics would work on New Yorkers and members of that state that shall remain nameless?
