2:12 That's why the amusement park chain is called Six Flags because the first Six Flags was Six Flags Over Texas and there was Six Flags that flew over Texas and I guess the name Six Flags just stuck.

Plot twist: Maryland girl became self aware because they found someone dumber, the Florida girl.

Nebraska guy is thoughtful and seems intelligent but he's mentioned the football stadium fact in at least four different videos. Dude is just phoning it in now. 😐😂

[RiceBenderson]

When the South Carolina guy said, “We like to take people down”, I though he was going in a different direction

[gabrielle-]

I didn’t think the Colorado guy’s sentence could get any weirder but then he just kept going

[Zaalpe]

Feel like Florida has a lot of weirder things about it than Flo Rida's name.

[circa]

California guys strange fact, "there is a fault line in LA..."

[davidtrottier]

Maine: We have the coldest springs in the US
Alaska: laughing

[digitalrookie]

I was born and raised in Michigan and when someone said we were going to Coney island, went went to this dive restaurant and got Coney dogs and fries. If and when I go back, no one better take me to a deli.

[RiceBenderson]

Is the Maryland girl just trolling us at this point?

[robinhoodieradio]

This Colorado guy is always on point. Very Coloradan. Good casting Conde Naste!

[ivegotextrabread]

Okay I’ll tell you what the actual weird fact of Minnesota is. There is a Jason Vorhees statue chained to the bottom of one of our lakes, which just so happens to be called Crystal Lake. You can go scuba diving to go see it and it’s a really cool site!

[suzijinnett]

Once again. My NM guys does not disappoint.

[thatperson]

Florida - Flo Rida. Had she never seen it written down???

[NurseKayceeHere]

I didn’t think about the Coney Island thing but she’s got a point 😂😂
