I hate to say it, but I was disappointed by this list. Most of the entries seemed more like random facts in general, rather than strange facts about the states. I was expecting more stuff like Kentucky being the only state to have two people serving as president at the same time (Davis and Lincoln) or Texas having a provision in its constitution allowing it to split into five states. Stuff like that.
the new guy is the perfect example of 'be yourself'. Don't try to be the OG narrator, I am sure the new guy has his style that he needs to bring out instead of just trying to be the OG narrator.
They aren't on the other side yet. The vast majority are still against him. Or it's not that they're against him, but they are just for the guy we all came to love. Without him it's just not the same channel at all. That voice was such a big part of it but I don't listen to the new ones. I think it should be a spin off channel.
Thank you for the pretty much daily content. Love all of the new voiceover people. Not easy to make these info channels run with one person reading alone.
I feel like the reg. Dude has a calm way of telling the stories. Instead of like he's reading it to us. But the new guys will get there! Thanks for your hard work! Love the vids.👍
Nice to see the Conch Republic story told - even to this day there are still Conch Republic signs here and there - you used to be able to get a Conch Republic Passport at certain times of the year. Visitors from the US mainland can get the 'unofficial' title of Fresh-Water Conch if they live in Key West for long enough.
Here and there? Go into any gift shop on the island, and you'll find Conch merch. Coffee cups, t-shirts, key chains, placemats... I'll bet you can even find a Conch Republic mousepad, lol.... They're right next to the Key Lime Pies... 😁
New Guy Is Good, and Also this allows for the OG Guy to rest a bit and be happier and better for the other videos. And we as audience win because we'll get more and better videos!
I’d rather the videos came out less often but had the true voice. It’s part of the channel. Imagine if Hell’s Kitchen did a season without Gordon Ramsay. The views would absolutely plummet.
4:51 Hey! It's Reginald Val Johnson! 5:48 So somewhere of the coast of Georgia, there's a undetonated nuke sitting on the ocean floor? 7:12 NOW, I remember this!
There’s nothing wrong with the other people who do your voiceovers, but it makes me want to click off an otherwise very interesting sounding video simply because the main voice over guy is THAT GOOD
1:30 Just incredible! It is crazy how much antibiotics are used today in health care facilities...and to think penicillin was the "first true antibiotic"! (American Chemical Society)
If you go far enough back in Weird History's catalog, there were 2 different narrators before Tom Blank, a man and woman voice. I think this was the first guy. See their video about the radioactive boy scout.
When people think of Van Halen, they think of David Lee Roth because he became the iconic voice. Nobody thinks of Sam Hagar. That's like a whole different band.
@jasondashney agreed. Tom is THE WH narrator to me. Just like Roth is THE VH frontman (even though i always skip over 1984 like i skipped over the Weird History food videos lol). And definitely not badmouthing this narrator. He's great, just different than what we've all come to know. Theres people out there who love the Van Hagar years too haha.
My husband's family hail from The Conch Republic. I love it here! We are locals and enjoyed ringing in the New Year on Duval Street and partying with ourfolks in Bahama Village 🐓🐚 🇨🇺 🇧🇸 🌴 for it to be one way in, one way out, we really should be our own republic 😀
A mnemonic device to learn some of the Mississippi river states is MIMAL the chef. His hat is in Minnesota, his head is in Iowa, his body is in Missouri, his legs are in Arkansas and his boots are in Louisiana. Some people add to the device by saying that he's cooking Kentucky Fried Chicken in a Tennessee frying pan.
Descendants of Jefferson Davis' camels were still running wild well into the mid-20th century in Arizona after the originals were set loose in the Sonoran Desert.
These aren't so much facts about states as they are just random facts that happened to occur in some particular named state. Could have been any state.
I have to say that i enjoyed the video! I learned something new, and the channel kept his funny side of telling weird stories! And narration was perfect understandable by non- Americans English speakers!
Everyone is so tough on the new narrator. I listen to weird history either when I'm working or in bed to fall asleep, the new guy scratches the same itch the usual narrators voice gives (to me at least) 😊. Of course, everyone is warranted their own opinion. I think if he added more emotion to his voice he'd be a lot better recieved. Great video as always!
I don't think you have missed anything. I haven't seen or heard anything about those in a while, either. I personally think those were the worst videos this channel makes and skipped most of them.
That is an absolutely moronic take. I don't like most of these terrible jokes, either, but that doesn't mean they were written/spoken by AI! Most people, in fact, suck at writing and/or telling jokes.
How'd you figure that out!? I don't see any credits. I remember Michael Swaim from Cracked and after reading your comment, I recognized his voice. Never would have expected him to end up here.
This narrator sounds like he just grabs the script and reads it without rehearsing, without annotating it, improvising; that's why his reading sounds so flat. The Illinois joke fell like a lead balloon. Anyone here who has performed music (choir singer here) knows that you don't just go on stage and play. You need to rehearse, and annotate the score: the composer may have put some pp, mf, fff here and there, or some < >, or maybe an "andante" or a "vivace," but even then you need to annotate the score to develop your own interpretation, or the conductor's. It appears this narrator doesn't do anything of that. When I listen to him, I invariably start to repeat the words with emphasis and expression - like, questioning, doubtful, mumbling, surprised, scornful, skeptical ... - and cannot but think that when even I and my Spanish accent could do it better, something is lacking here. That's the difference with the main narrator. He gives expression, emotion and variety to the script. This gentleman only reads it.
These new guys sound like they should be doing Mazda commercials (no offense). The deep, older sounding man is where it’s at. David Attenborough spoiled us, sorry
6:02 I watched the four Jaws films in a daily sequence, ending with the last one (Jaws Revenge) on my birthday on December 7th. I watched Jaws Revenge again on New Year's Eve.

8:22 Adam Sandler's was raised in New Hampshire, his hometown is Manchester. He was the #1 most popular comedian at my high school...though Jim Carrey came in at second place.
3:30 Colonel Fitts was played by Chris Cooper, the Academy-Award winning actor that graduate college from the University of Missouri. I am also an alumni from that school.
Ya’ll need to give more to respect to Michael Swaim. His work at Cracked paved the way for so much of the content that is now watched on here and other sites.
I really wish the new guy like the last narrator wouldn’t be a distraction to the subject matter. The best narrators keep viewers focused on the videos while keeping their voices low key and detached and not play an active part in it.

States don’t have presidents
Where's the regular narrator? Love that guy! Not complaining, just saying...
If you’re not complaining, I am. I only like the normal guy, he’s hilarious and his voice is perfect.
Hes just off for the holidays guys.
Not trying to be negative this guy is great. But the other guy could make me laugh with the tone of his voice.
You are complaining.
How do you know he's regular?
If only the voice inflection was there on the snarky parts. The script writing is top notch. The delivery and humor is lost.
the new guy is the perfect example of 'be yourself'. Don't try to be the OG narrator, I am sure the new guy has his style that he needs to bring out instead of just trying to be the OG narrator.
See the new guys’s old work by searching “Cracked Does Not Compute.” so funny.
Maybe he should learn the correct pronunciation of Conch (konk).
@@MirzaAhmed89both pronunciations are acceptable.
Reminds me of Dan Levy and his father Eugene Levy
All of it is written content. Dude is just reading the script.
Well, as far as I can tell it’s been every Thursday new guy has done the narration
I appreciate the consistency

@@DS-re4vs that's how we determine the non-natives!
1:43 it was definitly a different time, when you had a smoking soldier in bed in a Penecilin ad. 🤣
The Camel idea in the desert is not outrageous. Australia introduced camels in the 19th century and there still is 1 million camels there.
They even export Camels back to the Middle East.

Tell us you work for the channel without telling us you work for the channel. I see this same comment on every video from the new guy
Nah, I'd rather they be less frequent with the og guy than this schmuck.
I can almost hear the other guy’s voice when the sarcastic phrases are said. I only imagine him saying them and makes the video more enjoyable
Conch is pronounced Conk.
Not when I say it
Thanks for this! 🗽 My maternal grandfather would always call margarine "oleo", no matter the brand.
