@@raimarulightning the easiest way to remember the western US states is to recognize rivers. Outside of Wyoming, p much every western state has a border that's just a big river.
I’m from New Jersey, and in elementary school in the 1990s we had an assignment to learn the internet. Go to the website of the state you were assigned, and find basic information like exports, population, governor etc. I was assigned West Virginia, which was literally one single landing page with a picture of th governor and no other information. So my teacher sent me to the library where I had to find an encyclopedia and look up all that nonsense about West Virginia. I held an irrational grudge against WV for like two whole decades until becoming a fan of the McElroys, and Adventure Zone Amnesty specifically, eased that long held hatred. Today, these representatives of West Virginia have reignited my rage. New Jersey is one of the most recognizable state shapes! It’s got a waistline!
At the risk of invoking your ire, I didn't get that one either. I could pull like 40 states if they were blank on a map, but blown up like that is tricky. I didn't know about Vermont's Scorpion tail either.
Unless you memorize the exact short to long side ratio, Colorado and Wyoming are impossible to distinguish in isolation. Side by side one (CO(?)) is slightly wider but that is an impossible difference.
Very specific bonus for me: my dog is for some reason SET OFF by the usual wrong answer buzzer. Full barking fit. Your gentle little bell kept me from frantically having to mute wrong answers. 😊
Meanwhile I unfortunately used "no dogs on the moon" as my 'time to feed dogs' alarm for years so my dog jumps up every time it comes on before the stream begins 😂
My dog loses her mind over the doorbell, but specifically just Frasier's doorbell. When I first started watching fraiser I was so confused cause I got her a puppy and I've never lived anywhere with a doorbell!
I loved this. XD Suggestion for a follow-up round, guessing states by their motto, just so I can see them lose their minds over Utah which is just simply... "Industry."
this is my third rewatch of this episode since it dropped and travis at 20:06 yelling “give me some of the ones on the bottom!! i don’t know the ones on the top!!” with alabama on the screen has me WHEEZING every time
I am delighted to see this VOD. One of my favorite things to do as a get to know you thing is to ask people to name all 50 states and spoiler alert maybe 5% of the people I've asked have been able to do it. Everyone is sooooo confident that they know the song from elementary school. They, in fact, do not.
The animaniacs taught me all 50 state capitols, and by extension all 50 states. I don't think I could list them without their capitols though, as I only know the facts in the cadence of the song. 😄
@@bethanyhill5715 Yeah, it works great. Any type of game tends to loosen people up, there's no stakes to getting it wrong (especially since I always mention that it's very rare that someone knows them all), and once they get to a place where they can't think of more, I offer little clues about the ones they have left so we both get to know each other in that process too.
i could prolly do pretty good with a full map with surrounding states and geographic and size contexts but this game where it's just the state's shape in isolation is so weird and difficult for all the vague rectangle and tiny states.
I think this is the first time I've ever actually laughed so hard I cried. 😂 And I'm only halfway through! Sassy Griffin, the description of Fortnite, the age thing, all of that was already too much before they even got to the state game. 🤣
Shame I'm in Australia... can never see this live since it starts at like 2am Australian Eastern Time.... but nice to have a coffee and breakfast with it on a Wednesday morning.
This mascot has broken the illusory curse you've had on me for 5 years. McElroy Brothers? No mackerel brothers, fishy boys haha kindergarten name calling is back baby
Griffin: claims to have an "encyclopedic knowledge" of pokemon Also Griffin: has yet to even SAY THE WORDS "egg group" Charizard is a dragon, I will die on this hill
I saw rip miggy the mackerel merch and was like wtf is that having not seen any clubhouse content yet and that intro threw me for a fucking loop de loop holy shit choice content
Taking the atates out of context of the map is sp hard. Kansas and Connecticut are just rectangles, but i could identify th from their placement on the map
It would be a dishonor to Miggy’s sacrifice not to watch. He gave his life and now we watch to remember him. Our emotional pain at his repeated passing is but a shadow of the pain he feels in the throes of death every week
Justin and Travis telling Griffin he's wrong about his own age is an extremely older sibling move of them
They tried to make him the littlest brother but they were awfully quiet when he was the biggest.
Griffin making that "I get everything and you get nothing" demand to Travis about dragons was an extreme younger sibling move
justin whispering "its new mexico" as arizona pops up on the screen is so good
Tbh, I said it, too, lol.
A lot of the regions like NE and SW get a little muddy for me

One must imagine Miggy happy
To just drop a new Things I Bought at Sheetz on a random tuesday 7 years after the last one...I think Fungalore heard my wish.
Fungalore definitely HEARD your wish. It is what Fungalore does.
Fungalore heard my wish too but he didn’t tell anyone
Hell yeah
Griffin at 4:15: "I'm not gonna waste my time on a *VOD*
Me, wasting my time on the VOD: 👁️👄👁️
I like to watch the chat replay and pretend I’m there with the masses
@@Adventurous-Emma samee
Excited for the upcoming cryptic "Wyoming?" merch
As someone from Montana, I would ABSOLUTELY buy that

West Virginia and irrational grudges, like chocolate and peanut butter

I didn't know about Vermont's Scorpion tail either.
when shown the state of connecticut, the state i live in, that has its shape on the flag, i didn’t recognize it
That is, without a doubt, Wyoming
Wyoming is my comfort state
i know it wont ever change but every week i hope that miggy wont choke on the jar of pens and it breaks my heart every time he does
I like how Griffin is like "Charizard isn't a dragon is 'the bit'" but he's actually really mad and won't give it up because he knows he's right.
when ct came up on the screen i confidently thought to myself, "texas". I have lived in ct for 23 years.
0:57 - Theme starts
2:12 - Show starts
Why would you ever skip the theme song???
Thank you so much!!
Anyone that clicks the second option is a sinner
It’s just for people who find claymation deeply disturbing, we couldn’t watch Wallace and Gromit either.
@@unhallowedyves so valid.
Just noticed miggy lying on the table in the back during the second half of the intro, RIP dude
Glad someone noticed. I thought it’d be funny to have him still in the scenes somewhere.
The state quiz is actually really hard without size and location context.
Americans when they see a rectangle: Aaaah, beautiful Wyoming!

A RETURN TO THINGS I BOUGHT AT SHEETZ IS EVERYTBINF I HAVE DREAMED OF
Maybe wyomning was just the friends we made along the way

15:53 listening to Justin boldly proclaiming that my homeland is not a real state had me SCREAMING
Clint doing the energy dragon bit is so good... the format of this show is top tier!
I loved this. XD Suggestion for a follow-up round, guessing states by their motto, just so I can see them lose their minds over Utah which is just simply... "Industry."
YES
Please Fungalore. Add the Brawny Paper Towels man as a dragon.
What's wild is that Miggy doesn't suffocate when out of the water but he can choke on a cup of pens.
I mean same tho
Spending all that time on how Charizard isn’t a dragon, when Smaug also isn’t a dragon lol
I never thought of it before but I'm from below georgia's chode. Thank you, Griffin.
*the intro song exists* “fine, I’ll listen to all of balance from start to finish again
I see they've already bailed on their four-digit called-shot numbering system 😂 loved it as usual boys!
This game made me so so happy. Please do more quizzes, maybe with countries, or flags, or something else. It is so so so amazingly fun
So happy to see more Things I Bought at Sheetz. Absolutely love it.

Genuine question, does this work well as a get to know you?? What else do you learn except how many states they know?

This intro theme is more of a roller coaster than the first 10 minutes of Pixar's Up
i'll never tire of the intro.
So Griffin became the master stater by providing the most incorrect answers 😆
We now have Charizard (not a Dragon-type) and Smaug (a Fire-Drake; not a dragon) on the list.
Griffin is so real for gatekeeping Charizard
My brain was immediately and confidently like "Nebraska" every single time
I've lived in Connecticut and didn't get that one. SHAME! It's so much more squashed than I thought!
I feel like the whole Things I Bought at Sheetz bit was expressly inspired by how long Dwight’s hair has gotten. And I love that.
I think this is the first time I've ever actually laughed so hard I cried. 😂 And I'm only halfway through! Sassy Griffin, the description of Fortnite, the age thing, all of that was already too much before they even got to the state game. 🤣
15:00 griffins youngest sibling tantrum is so funny
I love this VOD and it’s absolutely saved my horrible day 💜 Thanks Brothers!
I love the mackerel pun on McElroy
This is some of the funniest shit they have ever made I can't believe I've waited this long to watch
Yesss. Best clubhouse of the week.
I am so excited for more Things I Bought at Sheetz
14:40 actually, historically, the opposite is true. Straight lines happen after wars, jagged lines happen from compromise or natural landmarks.
I will never forget you, Miggy Mackerel.
RIP miggy. Shout out to the byebyebye dance reference.
Omg that's what it is! Thank you
You're going to come to Wyoming on tour now right? This was an elaborate way of announcing that?
Feel like they have to now!
I've never been more thankful that I watched an intro
I LOVE THE STAR TREK VCR INTERACTIVE BOARD GAME!!! I got so excited when I saw it!
The troll of showing a square and saying it was colorado instead of wyoming was masterful
Best part of every episode is when a coupla boys get shrunk down and carried off at the end
Shame I'm in Australia... can never see this live since it starts at like 2am Australian Eastern Time.... but nice to have a coffee and breakfast with it on a Wednesday morning.
So much amazing content, things i bought at sheetz and the clubhouse?? thank you team McElroy we are not worthy.
I wish I could tune into these live!
This mascot has broken the illusory curse you've had on me for 5 years. McElroy Brothers? No mackerel brothers, fishy boys haha kindergarten name calling is back baby
there’s nothing funnier to me right now. this is my 3rd viewing of this masterpiece
And the sun’s probably shining
in Wyoming
justin dying laughing while travis and griffin relitigate charizard’s dragon-hood 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
wait this is incredible
Hell yeah, great to see Dwight, the mad lad!
loving the made in trav nation mango
Griffin: claims to have an "encyclopedic knowledge" of pokemon
Also Griffin: has yet to even SAY THE WORDS "egg group"
Charizard is a dragon, I will die on this hill
the "made in TravNation" at the end got me more than I expected
Minnesota has a little Alfred Hitchcock silhouette carved out of it.
That area is made up of western Wisconsin and regionally was (maybe still is) referred to with a racist nickname.
I saw rip miggy the mackerel merch and was like wtf is that having not seen any clubhouse content yet and that intro threw me for a fucking loop de loop holy shit choice content
man Dwight's mom is gonna be so cheesed you ruined another pair of pants.
Yknow here I was thinking "this intro is fun but it's a little childish" and then someone died so jokes on me I guess
My favorite show ever
When I was in 8th grade we had the state test where we had to name each state AND name the capital.

THINGS I BOUGHT AT SHEETZ MY BELOVED
Justin! You did Odyssey?! The one time I made Worlds it was Ames, but I judged there ten times. Whole lotta memories from that place.
They need to play one with all of the states
Holy Sheetz
Very into quizzing all three Mcelroys
TiBaS is coming back?!
I swear to god if next week does not include a debate about whether Tad Cooper is a dragon I will scream.
I love this so much 😍
Hey Justin thats a really nice coffee mug. Love me my Contigo Autoseal!
Maybe cant do Portland,Oregon anymore but we will accept you in Eugene for sure.
Saying that Charizard isn't a dragon because it's fire/flying is like saying squirtle is a water and not a turtle
Taking the atates out of context of the map is sp hard. Kansas and Connecticut are just rectangles, but i could identify th from their placement on the map
Stream starts at 0:57 :)
Ahh, Wyoming, the Matt Doyle of states.
the intro made me question if i was hallucinating or not
Didn't think I'd come up in this episode!
TAD COOPER MENTIONED!!! W.
i did abysmal on the state game, also 100% forgot nebraska existed as well
The intro animation looks like ya’ll turned into ninja turtles and then turned halfway back to human.
NOT THEM SAYING MY STATE WAS MADE UP??? WERE NEIGHBORS BROOOO
Griffin, just like Lance told us, not every dragon is a dragon type.
Do I really have to watch a friend die every week, though?
It would be a dishonor to Miggy’s sacrifice not to watch. He gave his life and now we watch to remember him. Our emotional pain at his repeated passing is but a shadow of the pain he feels in the throes of death every week
The grieving process just doesn’t account for this!
A really nice episode, a little shorter, but you got it bros
Youngest bro being upset when losing and making himself win with bonus points is so accurate
This made me so irrationally angry I was yelling at my screen like it was a sports match and my team was losing. WYOMING IS LITERALLY JUST A SQUARE
