00:05We're here in Central Park in New York City, and over the next five days, we're going to race to
00:08see which team can claim the most boring states.
00:10But right now, it's 8am, so we gotta go, go, go!
00:14Okay, so the goal of this game is to claim states to make the largest territory.
00:18In a few seconds, we're going to randomly draw six cards.
00:21On each card will be a state.
00:23The first team to visit one of these states and complete its challenge will claim that state.
00:27Then, a new state will be drawn.
00:28In order to travel to these states, teams have a budget of $3,500 for flights and cars, and they'll
00:34get another $1,000 every morning.
00:36At the end of five days, the team with the most states wins.
00:39But there's a catch.
00:40Your states have to be connected in order for them to count towards your score.
00:44So, for example, if I claimed these states, my score would be 2.
00:47If I claimed this state, my score would still be 2.
00:49But if I claimed this state, connecting them, now my score is 4.
00:53In order to win the game, not only will you need to get to states to claim them before your
00:57opponents,
00:57you'll also need to figure out how to connect your states so they can count towards your final score.
01:01There are more rules we'll get to later, but for now, let's draw our opening states.
01:04Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We gotta draw the cards.
01:07Oh, check it out.
01:07Card time.
01:08Public board.
01:08Let's see.
01:11Illinois.
01:12Come on!
01:12Let's go.
01:13Amy's hometown.
01:14Well, my powers are strongest.
01:15Okay, next.
01:16Ready?
01:17Wisconsin.
01:19Ooh.
01:19Okay, we'll do those.
01:22Nebraska.
01:24Utah.
01:26Tennessee.
01:27Ooh, Tennessee's powerful.
01:28Tennessee.
01:29Okay, last one.
01:31Mississippi.
01:32Mississippi.
01:32Mississippi.
01:32Way down south.
01:33Is that another?
01:34Mississippi.
01:35I think down.
01:37Is this misinformation?
01:38Don't tell them.
01:39Okay, let's go.
01:40Let's go.
01:41Let's kick it, buddy.
01:42Let's get the heck out of here.
01:43Let's get going.
01:44We gotta go to an airport.
01:46All right, Amy.
01:47Hello.
01:47Let's go.
01:48They took off immediately.
01:49They ran away from us.
01:51I'm interested in who you are, why you're here, and what gives you the right.
01:54That's a good question.
01:56I'm Amy.
01:56No, no, no, but not now.
01:57Not now.
01:57We gotta draw a private card.
01:59Right, okay, yeah.
01:59More interested in the private cards.
02:01Yeah, we'll do that later.
02:01Are you gonna explain this in VO, or do I have to tell them?
02:03I don't really know.
02:04We're gonna explain it in VO.
02:06So, in addition to the six shared cards, each team also has five private cards.
02:10These were randomly drawn from the deck before the game started.
02:13But teams don't know what their private cards are.
02:15At the start of each day, they will get to turn over one of them.
02:18The same rules then apply.
02:19You have to go to the state and complete its challenge to claim them.
02:22But the thing is, private cards are safely in your hand.
02:26Your opponent can't steal them.
02:28And even better, your opponent has no idea what your private cards are.
02:31So if played well, private cards can allow you to make moves that your opponent can't predict,
02:35connect states they can't connect, and keep your master plan under wraps until it's too late to stop it.
02:41So, without further ado, our first private card is that one.
02:46Delaware, we could, wait, but we wouldn't want to do that right now.
02:50They're right there.
02:51We're gonna see what our private card is for the day.
02:55Wait, does that border, borders Mississippi?
02:57It borders Mississippi.
02:58Okay, then we want to go to probably Memphis, right?
03:01I think we want to go to Tennessee.
03:02I think we want to go to Memphis.
03:03Tennessee is really good.
03:04Ben, this is low-key huge.
03:07Having Louisiana is big.
03:09Call me biased, but I think going to the greatest city in the world, Chicago, Illinois,
03:14is a major hub with a billion flights every hour.
03:16Yeah.
03:16It's an hour drive to the border of Wisconsin.
03:19Yeah, but I feel like they're for sure going there too.
03:21Here, can you take this?
03:22I'm gonna check the first flight we can make to Chicago.
03:25I'm worried that they're probably so much more willing to take a risk on a flight than us.
03:31Do you think we can get to LaGuardia for a 930 flight?
03:33I think we can.
03:34It's $424.
03:35It's a little pricey, but I think it's worth it.
03:39We actually, then we need to make that flight.
03:41There's not any other good flights.
03:42We need to get to LaGuardia.
03:44We have to make this flight.
03:45We legit have to.
03:55I mean, there's an 830 from JFK.
03:57No chance.
03:58There's an 850 from LaGuardia.
03:59Okay.
04:00LaGuardia is not so far from here.
04:02Yeah, but that's 55 minutes from now.
04:03By subway, we're 47 minutes.
04:05I don't think we can gamble on an 850 flight.
04:07Wait, there's also a 1015 from LaGuardia.
04:09I might have missed that earlier.
04:10So wait, I think that makes sense, right?
04:12Yeah, do that.
04:17Dude, it's gonna be really f***ing tight.
04:20Hi.
04:21Fancy seeing you here.
04:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:24Do you think I can just like...
04:26No.
04:27I'm booking a flight to Hawaiian.
04:37I'm gonna buy you.
04:38All right.
04:39If we miss this flight...
04:40I know.
04:41We are...
04:41It's really gonna be bad.
04:44846 crisp ones.
04:57I know.
04:58I know.
04:59I know.
05:00I know.
05:00All right.
05:01Let's find that bus.
05:07Come on, Q70.
05:11Oh.
05:11No, that's not it.
05:13That's not it.
05:14That's not it.
05:16That's not it.
05:17Not a lot of people waiting, which is not actually a good sign.
05:20It means a bus might have left recently.
05:22I think we should maybe try and find a...
05:24Yeah.
05:25Oh.
05:26Yes.
05:27There she is.
05:29Let's go.
05:30I've never seen a boy more excited to see a bus.
05:34Let's go.
05:37Let's go, Q70 select bus service.
05:40That's the beauty of public transportation, baby.
05:43That's what's happening in Zoran Mamdani's New York City.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Oh.
05:50Okay.
05:51I think...
05:51We're not out of the woods yet, brother.
05:53I think we might make it.
05:54That is huge.
05:57We need to arrive at the airport with 10 minutes before boarding
06:00instead of zero minutes before boarding.
06:02Yeah, brother.
06:03Let's go.
06:04Let's go.
06:11Oh, man, they have the no free samples gates.
06:15Ugh.
06:18Oh.
06:19That is the bus.
06:25Okay, yeah.
06:25They must have gotten on the bus in front of us.
06:33I love starting the game by taking an enormous risk.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Man, I've just gotten a text that our flight is boarding.
06:41Excellent.
06:42Just in time for us to arrive.
06:45Let's absolutely cook them, Benjamin.
06:47Here we go.
06:48All right.
06:49It's a little bit of a walk.
06:50Turn on C this way.
06:54Why couldn't it have dropped us over there?
06:56This is stupid.
06:57I don't know why they put us so far over here.
07:08Doesn't look busy.
07:10Looks a little busy.
07:11Okay, we got to put the phone away while we go through security.
07:13Wish us luck.
07:18Let me check where they are.
07:19Ooh, they're in a different terminal.
07:21Oh.
07:23They're in terminal C.
07:24But is that where the Sapphire Preferred Lounge is?
07:27Because Adam has a sickness.
07:28No.
07:29I think it's actually in terminal B.
07:30Okay, so they're at the Delta terminal.
07:33Let me check which Delta flights.
07:35This is interesting.
07:37There is a Memphis at 930.
07:38It's tight, but I think this means they're not going to Chicago.
07:43I pray this means they're not going to Chicago.
07:45Get out of my house.
07:47It's just very stressful.
07:48Yes.
07:48I just don't want to be stressed.
07:50The audience wants us stressed, but the audience...
07:52Well, you're not going to get an audience because I've actually never felt more zen and locked
07:56in in my life.
07:56I'm so zen.
07:57There's nowhere more zen than Lombardia Airport Termini.
07:59Amen, brother.
07:59And security looks smooth.
08:02Normal.
08:03Rock and rolling.
08:04Gate 60-something.
08:0567.
08:06Says it's a seven to nine minute walk.
08:08Really?
08:10That's crazy.
08:10Tennessee.
08:11Well, maybe let's get a little hustle on.
08:12We got through security pretty quick.
08:14Yeah.
08:14The guy in front of me in line was like,
08:16Excuse me.
08:17Excuse me.
08:18I have a wife.
08:19I was like, I have a wife too and her name is Tennessee and I need to go claim her
08:22right
08:22now.
08:24Three to five minutes.
08:25Yeah, if you're a freaking chump.
08:27If you're a freaking wuss, it's three to five minutes.
08:30Okay.
08:31There it is.
08:32Memphis.
08:32There it is, baby.
08:34I'm going to Graceland.
08:36Graceland.
08:37Memphis, Tennessee.
08:44Let's go.
08:45We're going to Tennessee.
08:47That was nutty, man.
08:48Oh, man.
08:49We've never missed a flight, Ben, and we never will.
08:52And that's a true fact.
08:54Except for the time we went to the wrong airport in Australia, but that doesn't count.
09:00That was some real ass jet lag in there.
09:05Let's go.
09:06Okay, so their location finally updated for me.
09:09It was like a 10-15 and a 10-30 to Chicago.
09:12Well, I think that it could matter because once a challenge is complete, the team that's
09:18completed it gets to remove a card from the board.
09:24Okay, so this is the last major rule we haven't gone over yet.
09:27Once a team completes a challenge and claims the state, that state is removed from the shared hand and will
09:31be randomly replaced.
09:33But there's another step.
09:34Then, the team that completed the challenge also gets to remove one additional state.
09:39Now, obviously they're going to want to remove whatever state is most useful for their opponent.
09:42However, to prevent this from being too powerful, their opponent can protect one state, which might force the team to
09:47eliminate their second choice.
09:49Here's what that means for the teams right now.
09:51If Ben and Adam are able to complete the Tennessee challenge and claim the state before Amy and I can
09:55claim Illinois, Ben and Adam can destroy the Illinois-Wisconsin pair we are trying to get.
10:00Obviously, we'll protect Illinois, but that will leave Wisconsin vulnerable and they'll be able to get rid of it.
10:04On the other hand, if Amy and I claim Illinois first, we'll be able to destroy Ben and Adam's intended
10:09pair of Tennessee and Mississippi.
10:11So basically, it's going to matter a ton which team was able to complete their challenge first.
10:15And based on when we're both scheduled to land, it could be decided by a matter of minutes.
10:20So like, if we tried to remove Illinois, they would probably veto it, but then we could remove Wisconsin.
10:27Yeah.
10:27Which would be...
10:28And that would leave them hanging.
10:30If they are in one of these plates, we should touchdown before them.
10:33We should, theoretically.
10:35Yeah.
10:36Do you think they've figured out that we're on this flight?
10:39Sam sure has, right?
10:57We're here.
10:58We're in duty-free.
10:59It seems like they did make a really tight flight to Memphis, is my current theory.
11:05They're still themselves.
11:06They're still acting normal and cutting things super, super close.
11:09Look, I have within me a lot of interest in taking stupid risks.
11:15However, like, not now.
11:18Yeah.
11:19And look, we can be delusional all we want, as long as we support each other.
11:23Yeah.
11:24I think he's already boarding.
11:25Group one, so we can go on.
11:27Airplane time.
11:29Airplane time.
11:30We're not together, so we'll collude by text.
11:33Yeah.
11:34I think we just need to first focus on, like, how can we get these two states most efficiently,
11:38and while eliminating the risk, that those dastardly boys steal a lot of money from our
11:43performances.
11:43Those dastardly boys.
11:44I can't believe they're doing this to us.
11:46Yeah, it's sick and twisted.
11:47You know, they call themselves my friends, and yet they...
11:50Are trying to steal our states.
11:52...compete in a game against me?
11:53Yeah.
11:53Weird.
11:54We'll see you in Chicago.
12:20Let's check on Sam and Amy here.
12:22They're just going over Detroit, and we just entered Tennessee.
12:28Surely, surely Chicago, right?
12:31Surely Chicago.
12:32We're about 220 miles out there.
12:37240 miles out.
12:39It's like it's legit, like it's pretty tight.
12:42I still think we might end up with a little bit of time.
12:4710 minutes on them, but I think we want to get a rental car in Memphis.
12:52Yeah.
12:53Because, I mean, I think the next thing we're going to do after we claim Tennessee is almost
12:57certainly we're going to want to try and drive to Mississippi.
12:59If it's still available.
13:01If it's still available.
13:02Okay, well, if we do the version called You Click, We Pick, it's $70 total.
13:09But with the car tax, it's $140.
13:13I mean, we are spending money very fast.
13:15We are blazing through our budget.
13:18Look, all we can do, land in Tennessee, do the challenge as quickly as we can.
13:29Adam, I see the Bass Pro show.
13:31Can you see the Bass Pro pyramid?
13:34Pyramid.
13:35Yeah.
13:35I love that thing.
13:36It really, it dwarves the rest of the city.
13:39Okay.
13:41Now let's get on the ground.
13:46Well, we did beat them.
13:49Just don't know if it's going to be by enough.
13:55Okay, while we run to the rental car lot, we're going to have Sam read the Tennessee challenge in voiceover.
14:03Answer hot questions while eating hotter chicken.
14:06Tennessee is famous for its fiery Nashville hot chicken.
14:09Go to any hot chicken restaurant, it does not have to be in Nashville, and order the spiciest chicken available.
14:14You must then answer three trivia questions correctly.
14:17You may answer as many questions as you wish, but you must take a big bite of hot chicken before
14:21each answer.
14:22So, hot chicken.
14:24Hot chicken, baby.
14:26Let's do it.
14:27Seems like it's a little bit of a walk, man.
14:29About half a mile.
14:32That seems like a stupid way to design an airport.
14:54Okay, we checked the tracker.
14:56They're already leaving the airport.
14:58We're still taxiing.
15:00We're on like one of those mega long Chicago air taxis.
15:03I think we're getting close, but they're getting, they're getting a big lead.
15:06They can't do that the day before us.
15:08They can remove Wisconsin from the board, which prevents us from doing this combo.
15:12That would really suck.
15:13That would give them an early head start.
15:16But, you know, nothing I can do right now.
15:20We're not even moving.
15:22We are still walking to the rental cars.
15:25It looks like they're still taxiing at least.
15:30Okay, good.
15:31I checked them online.
15:33I just need to bring, like, my ID and my card.
15:35Can you follow me?
15:37Anything on this right side that you like.
15:40Wow, Adam, you're a pick of the bunch.
15:45That was nice and, well, I mean, I was going to say it was quick.
15:48I don't know, I mean, it was a very long walk.
15:50But then when we got here, we just got the car.
15:53How does this car work?
15:54Okay, that's crazy.
15:56And, oh, my God.
15:58Okay, here we go.
16:00We're on our way to Hattie B's.
16:02I just want to say for the record that this is very exciting for me personally.
16:06Hattie B's is an iconic Tennessee restaurant, and I personally am a big fan of Hattie B's.
16:12Now, it's worth noting that this is technically Nashville hot chicken, and we're in Memphis.
16:16But Hattie B's is originally from Nashville, but they opened a location in Memphis.
16:21This man knows his chicken.
16:23I will say that I am scared about how spicy it's going to be.
16:28I think they have, like, a scale where it goes up to, like, X, X, X, your guts for this
16:35level of spice.
16:37Great, great.
16:37Hopefully I can just...
16:38It's kind of...
16:39It's gonna be lock-in time.
16:41Yeah.
16:41As it so often is.
16:43I'm taking a look at the map here.
16:44It seems like they are still taxiing.
16:48Great.
16:48Best I can tell, they are on the runway.
16:51So, we managed to get out of the airport before they could get off the plane.
17:10I think we figured out our move.
17:16Okay.
17:18Assuming we want to stick to our plane, I already called an Uber.
17:20Great.
17:20We haven't explained, actually, why we're doing what we're doing.
17:25Escape the train.
17:26Illinois is the rail hub of America, the state where all six Class 1 railroads meet.
17:31Get on any non-metro train and have one player randomly select one of the five secret Illinois passwords.
17:37You may not get off the train until the other player has successfully guessed the selected password.
17:42At each stop of the train, including the stop where you board, the guesser may ask one yes or no
17:46question.
17:47If you get off the train for any reason, you must restart with a new password.
17:52Okay, so here's Amy and my plan.
17:53In order to complete this challenge, we have to get on a train.
17:56Now, there's a metro line that leaves directly from the airport, but metros don't count for this challenge.
18:00And unfortunately, the commuter rail station right outside the airport doesn't have any trains for over an hour.
18:04So, because we're so desperate to complete this challenge before Ben and Adam completes their challenge,
18:09we're going to take an Uber to a different commuter rail station that has a train leaving very soon,
18:13which will allow us to start the challenge as quickly as possible.
18:16It should be said that what we're trying to do here is get on a train, a commuter rail,
18:21that runs not along the same track, but parallel to the blue line.
18:26Yeah.
18:26Which does go to O'Hare.
18:27Okay, I think I've timed it for the furthest close stop we can make.
18:33Prospect?
18:34Um, I think it's Cumberland.
18:36LX6-3.
18:37Oh.
18:37Okay.
18:38Hey, for Sam?
18:39Hey, how's it going?
18:40Yeah.
18:43So, Cumberland inbound Union Pacific Northwest in 22 minutes.
18:49Yep.
18:49I'm going to guess they're at Hattie's Hot Chicken.
18:54Oh yeah, Hattie B's Hot Chicken.
18:55Here, barring huge backup or something, they're going to get their first attempt done before we get going.
19:02Hattie B's.
19:03Welcome to Hattie B's.
19:05Oh, it's cute.
19:07Let's get in there and let's get you the hottest chicken that they will allow you to have.
19:13How do I put this in there?
19:21How do I put this in there?
19:22Uh-oh.
19:26That?
19:30That is, that is a real, that's, that's legit.
19:34Well, hopefully it moves fast.
19:39Not, not so far it doesn't.
19:41That's where the Chicago Dogs play.
19:43Impact field.
19:44What do the dogs play?
19:45The Chicago Dogs play baseball and their dogs in the hot dog sense.
19:49And, um, their mascot, uh, is Squeeze.
19:52I feel like I've heard of Chicago's baseball team and it's not that.
19:55The Chicago Dogs playing an independent league.
19:58They have so many mascots.
20:05So, they landed almost an hour ago and nothing yet.
20:08Yeah.
20:08We sort of thought that they would have the challenge done by the time we even got to start.
20:13Yeah.
20:13And so, the difference between us getting it and like a couple of questions versus having to really ride it
20:19out is huge.
20:20Well, think about your question sequencing.
20:22Yes, I have, I've, I sat on the plane, I took lots of notes, I have lots of ideas.
20:27I'm going to use the first question to see if I can make sort of a word bank for us.
20:31And then I think second question, I'm going to try to like, maybe split it roughly in half.
20:37And then, depending what we're seeing out of them, maybe third question, a Hail Mary.
20:41And then if that doesn't work, I'll go back to like actually treating this normally.
20:45I think another thing that potentially you, the audience, should know,
20:48if we get this in fewer, not only is there the speed benefit, but we have a better chance to
20:54make it up to Wisconsin.
20:55It would be huge.
20:56Which would be massive.
20:57Yeah.
20:58I don't remember exactly when they got to the chicken place, but it's been a minute.
21:00Yeah.
21:01Maybe they're having some issues.
21:02It's, it's, it's sort of, it's the way it's turning over here.
21:04The situation where our game is actually a blast.
21:07I love it.
21:09I haven't thought this one.
21:11I don't want to talk this one.
21:13I don't want to talk this one.
21:16It's fantastic.
21:19It's fantastic.
21:20There's no, it is.
21:22There's no one.
21:23Right.
21:23There is no one.
21:25There is no one.
21:25Uh, yeah.
21:28We got, they hit us with three.
21:30They hit us with the field trip first.
21:32I think to many, the most like Illinois thing would be the 1990s Chicago Bulls or like Michael
21:39Jordan.
21:39And I think for the sake of this list, it would be Jordan and not like Pippen or someone else.
21:44So I think something with that is quite likely, but I also like challenges about Illinois.
21:50And I would imagine there was some temptation from the list writer to do something that was
21:55not Chicago specific, which puts me more in a Lincoln state of mind.
21:59I mean, before the train gets here, go generate which one it's going to be from the random list.
22:03Okay.
22:04The train is now late.
22:05I would like to complain about that.
22:07So I have a list of five and I got to do a random number generator to decide which one.
22:12Okay.
22:13It's one.
22:14And one is, it's Michael Jordan.
22:19Hmm.
22:20She already said Michael Jordan.
22:23This could be big.
22:25Okay.
22:26It's the stakes.
22:27So Ben, that's what we have to order.
22:30We have to order.
22:31Shut the fuck up.
22:34It's made with ghost peppers.
22:35There's a lot of fire symptoms next to it.
22:39I am going to get more towers and I am going to get them shut the fuck up.
22:50There's nothing we can do now but wait.
22:53Are they at the station?
22:55They're at Cumberland.
22:56They're at Cumberland Station.
22:57Yeah.
22:57They're first restaurant.
22:59And I think they're still just running at school.
23:01Well, that's a problem.
23:02It's a real puzzle.
23:04Good problem.
23:04That guy was awesome.
23:06Oh my God.
23:07Okay, Amy.
23:08The train is here.
23:09Now we've got 20 questions.
23:15I'm going to do Yolo on the second question because I think this one will narrow.
23:20I think it's quick.
23:21It's quick to the next.
23:22Okay.
23:22I'm going to list a long list of things.
23:24The yes or no question is, is any of the things I listed the thing?
23:27Okay.
23:28Any Obama, Abraham Lincoln, any athlete or coach for Chicago professional sports team
23:32or the team itself.
23:33Any of the following Chicago landmarks, The Beam, The Sears, Willis Tower, Wrigley Field,
23:37The Art Institute, Museum of Science and Industry, or Navy Pier.
23:39Any Illinois universities such as IU, IUCU, Chicago, Northwestern.
23:43Any iconic foods and drinks such as Malort, old style, beefish pizza, Chicago style,
23:47hot dogs, carrots, popcorn, or similar.
23:48Any work of art at The Art Institute.
23:50Any movie or TV show set in Illinois like any John Hughes films or Blue Brothers.
23:54Or any actors, characters, or locations strongly associated with any such piece of media or art.
23:58Or anything related to the Pullman Rail Yard or Chicago's Union history.
24:01That is a very long list.
24:02Yes.
24:02But is it any of this?
24:05Yes.
24:06The next stop should be really soon.
24:08They haven't done it yet.
24:10I'm going to...
24:10So my plan is Hail Mary Guess at the next stop.
24:15And then failing that, narrowing, I guess.
24:19Okay, this could be really tight.
24:22I mean, they're still there.
24:23I don't know why it's taking them so long.
24:25I don't know.
24:25But whatever it is, shout out.
24:27We got a field trip.
24:29We got absolutely a field trip.
24:30We got a field trip.
24:31The size of our field trip is so small compared to the size of that field trip.
24:36Dude, I gotta be honest.
24:37When we were in the car like two minutes out, it was like, it's dumb.
24:40We were saying that to ourselves.
24:44We thought it was...
24:45It wasn't going to be close at all.
24:46You know?
24:47And that wasn't going to be exciting.
24:48We have nothing to hide from you anymore.
24:50We are simply scared.
24:53We are simply scared.
24:58Thank you very much.
24:59Thank you so much.
25:00Okay, this one is the one that you would see.
25:03And it came faster than I was expecting.
25:08We've acquired the shut the clock up.
25:10We do really need to hurry because they could kind of get this at any second.
25:15I'm deciding what to do as the sort of Hail Mary guest.
25:21And I think ultimately the amount of rage I'm going to feel if it's one of the two things I
25:26said on the platform,
25:27which is something Chicago Bulls-y or Lincoln, and then my Hail Mary guess is anything else.
25:33That's going to be, and it was one of those, that's going to be overly frustrating for me.
25:37And the Bulls is tricky because it could be the Bulls or Michael Jordan.
25:40We have relatively frequent stops, which is good.
25:44Ben, I'm feeling quite frightened.
25:46Okay, let's...
25:47I have to take a bite first before I get the question.
25:49Yeah, and let's, and really get that in there, in that mouth hole.
25:53Get it in there.
25:55How's that tasting?
25:58Is it spicy?
26:01Are you, do you feel, you, I really can't shut the clock up though,
26:06because you do have to answer trivia.
26:07Are you ready for your first question?
26:08Right.
26:10In which war did Tennessee earn the moniker the Volunteer State?
26:13Uh, the Civil War.
26:14No.
26:16S***.
26:21Three U.S. presidents have hailed from Tennessee.
26:23Name one.
26:25I think that Andrew Johnson's from Tennessee.
26:27Correct.
26:28Yes!
26:29That was a, that was a deep cut.
26:31Okay, question, you've got one question right.
26:41I just want to note that I'm really good with spicy food and this is nuts.
26:44Yeah.
26:44No, I can see that on your face and in your body.
26:47Are you, okay.
26:48Yeah.
26:48This is multiple choice.
26:49Tennessee was the blank state to join the U.S.
26:52Was it the 14th, 16th, 18th, or 20th?
26:5618th.
26:57Incorrect.
26:58It was the 16th.
26:59Well, shoot.
27:02Right.
27:03Okay.
27:04Yep.
27:05I'm going totally.
27:06Yeah.
27:07Unfortunately, it's time for more chicken.
27:11Okay.
27:11I'm sick to my stomach, by the way.
27:13Okay.
27:14But that could just be because I had, um, microwave mac and cheese at 11 p.m.
27:18Hmm.
27:20Disclames.
27:21Okay.
27:22We're here.
27:22You might think it's pronounced Duplen.
27:23We're about to stop.
27:26Is it Abraham Lincoln?
27:28No.
27:29Okay.
27:31Now, now, dear audience, here's what I have to say to you.
27:34Spiritually, I really think it's the Bulls.
27:36And I think it's the Bulls or it's Jordan.
27:37I think it's mighty because I'm too locked in.
27:41And I, and I want to sort of believe in a major way.
27:46And I really, really want to be better.
27:48Oh, I don't even know.
27:51Okay.
27:52We're moving again.
27:52Okay.
27:53Probably have like three minutes to decide.
27:57Yeah.
27:58Get that in there.
28:00It's, is the chicken good at least?
28:03That's good.
28:10Okay.
28:11Okay.
28:12Without the aid of a map, how many states border Tennessee?
28:15Eight.
28:16We looked at that earlier.
28:17We did.
28:18Flashback.
28:18Flashback to when we talked about that.
28:20Worth noting.
28:21And this is awesome for us.
28:23I think that Tennessee borders more states than any other state in the country.
28:27Yeah.
28:27You think it borders eight states.
28:29That is relevant information for this game.
28:31So you got that.
28:32You need to get one more.
28:36Yeah.
28:36Get it in there.
28:37Yeah.
28:38You've been doing great.
28:38You've been really eating this chicken good.
28:40You almost got a whole nugget.
28:43Yeah.
28:44It's nourishment.
28:45Think about the, it's nourishing qualities as opposed to its burning qualities.
28:55Okay.
28:56This is multiple choice.
28:57Which popular soda was invented in Tennessee?
29:00Fanta, Coca-Cola, Mountain Dew, or Pepsi?
29:05Well, it definitely isn't Coca-Cola.
29:07That was invented in Georgia.
29:08Oh God.
29:10Uh, Fanta.
29:11Incorrect.
29:11It was Mountain Dew.
29:13I'm sorry, but you are going to have to eat more of that chicken.
29:16They're still there.
29:18I'm going to make my decisions completely emotionally.
29:21Emotionally, I will not forgive myself if it is the Bulls or Michael Jordan.
29:26And I got this close to getting it on a Hail Mary.
29:28And then I was a coward.
29:29I won't be able to cope with that.
29:32It like looks sinister.
29:35I'm crying. Look at that.
29:39You're not going to be crying when you get this last question
29:41before they're able to do this damn challenge.
29:44Okay.
29:45Okay.
29:46Tennessee is home to the second most frequently visited house in America
29:48behind only the White House.
29:50What is this property's name?
29:51What? House?
29:53Second most frequently visited house.
29:55Elvis' house. Elvis' house.
29:56Graceland.
29:57I'm going to Graceland.
29:59Graceland.
29:59Memphis, Tennessee.
30:01That is correct.
30:12Okay, let's call them. Let's call them ASAP.
30:16Ha.
30:17Oh, no.
30:20They got it.
30:20They're calling.
30:23We got it.
30:24Tennessee is ours.
30:26Sorry, folks.
30:29That's Tennessee in the back.
30:31Okay, so Tennessee claimed here is the next state.
30:35What is it?
30:36Well, that would have been convenient.
30:38Oh.
30:39What a diva.
30:41Okay.
30:42Well, now we get to eliminate one.
30:44I'd like to eliminate Illinois.
30:45Ooh.
30:45That's crazy, because we're in Illinois.
30:48Yeah, we would have probably beat her that one.
30:49Yeah, Amy says no.
30:51Okay.
30:52Then we will eliminate Wisconsin.
30:54Pick rocks, jerks.
30:55But it has so much cheese.
30:57You want to find out what's next?
30:59I guess.
31:03Michigan!
31:04Michigan?
31:05That could have gone better for us.
31:07Okay, bye.
31:08Okay.
31:08Bye.
31:09Okay, well...
31:10That was not a great draw for us.
31:11That was not a great draw, but we freaking got it,
31:14and we eliminated Wisconsin.
31:16Well done with the chicken.
31:19That deserves a handshake, not a high five.
31:21Okay, well, I want to eat a little bit of chicken,
31:23and then we got to get out of here and go to Mississippi.
31:26Yep.
31:28Michigan's not bad.
31:29It really makes me wish we had Wisconsin not to dwell.
31:32Yeah.
31:33But it's near.
31:34Yeah.
31:35And if Wisconsin or Indiana comes up,
31:37then that could be good for us.
31:38So I just...
31:39Just for my own sake.
31:41Is it the Chicago Bulls?
31:43No.
31:44Okay.
31:44Now the object is just that we don't want to have to get on
31:46another commuter train.
31:47Yes.
31:47So I think next one I'm going to do, is it a person?
31:50Because if the answer is yes,
31:53I'm going to...
31:53There will be sort of a devil in my ear telling me
31:56it's Michael Jordan,
31:56and if it's no, I at least have information.
32:01Oh, my God.
32:03This chicken is so good.
32:05Yeah, the regular chicken.
32:06We can spare a few minutes before we go.
32:09We need a few left.
32:11The fries are really good, too.
32:13That is insanely good.
32:15And...
32:16kind of spicy.
32:18If that's kind of spicy,
32:19I don't know what the hell you were eating.
32:21Do you want a bite?
32:22No.
32:22No.
32:23I'm really pissed about Michigan.
32:25Michigan is not a great drop.
32:26Especially because, like, there's so many drops
32:28that would be useful for us with Tennessee.
32:30But they'll come up.
32:31They'll come up.
32:36Just looking into rental cars.
32:37Is it a person?
32:39Is it a person?
32:41It is.
32:44It's Michael Jordan.
32:45I'm gonna be really normal about it.
32:48Should we talk about Mississippi?
32:50Sam, please go ahead and read the Mississippi Challenge.
32:56Send Rockleberry Finn down the Mississippi.
32:58The Mississippi River famously serves as the setting
33:00for the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,
33:02in which two characters go on a journey down the river on a raft.
33:05Go to the Mississippi River and find a rock
33:07that is at least four inches in one dimension.
33:10You are now responsible for getting this rock at least 30 feet down the Mississippi River.
33:14Build a raft only from natural materials gathered near the river
33:17and place the rock on top of the raft without attaching it to the raft in any way.
33:22Push the raft into the water and have it carry the rock at least 30 feet without touching it.
33:26Thank you, Sam.
33:27So, I think that this is pretty doable.
33:30I mean, I don't know how long of a drive it is, but it's really not that bad.
33:34Not at all.
33:34And then we can just get on the Mississippi River wherever we can find it and just get it done.
33:41My hope is that we can just continue to build out from Tennessee.
33:44Tennessee, as we freaking talked about in trivia, borders eight states.
33:48We do also, I mean, again, we have our private card of Louisiana.
33:53My opinion about the Louisiana card is we should do it when we don't have anything else useful to do.
33:59If there's something else we can do that's helpful, do that first.
34:03We can go to Louisiana last.
34:04The board is about to change a ton.
34:06They're going to claim Illinois.
34:08That's going to change the board twice.
34:10We're going to claim Mississippi.
34:10It's going to change the board twice again.
34:12So, I mean, I just don't think we can plan past Mississippi.
34:15No.
34:16Because things are going to be completely different.
34:18Four of the six cards currently up will no longer be there.
34:22You look so comfortable.
34:23Look, you got to take comfort where it comes.
34:26Are you comfortable about the fact that there's another station, another shot?
34:30And is it Michael Jordan?
34:35Yes.
34:38Nicely done.
34:49That was really good.
34:51So let's call him.
34:52Hello.
34:53Oh, hello.
34:54We're sort of, you know, enthused to tell you that we've gained ownership of the glorious Khanate of Illinois.
35:00I would love to see a new state.
35:02Yeah, what's the new state?
35:04Show it to me first.
35:05Show it to Sam first.
35:06I want to read it first.
35:09See, I showed it to you guys first.
35:14That is, um, really free screening.
35:19We would like to remove Mississippi, please.
35:21Yeah, we're going to veto that.
35:22That's going to be a no from us.
35:24You guys need...
35:25Hey, yes and.
35:26Whatever happened to that?
35:27We would like to eliminate New York.
35:29Really?
35:30Yeah.
35:31Great.
35:32No, that's awesome.
35:33I love that.
35:34We need a new state.
35:35There's a new state.
35:37Mm-hmm.
35:39Vermont.
35:41Okay, bye.
35:42Okay, we need to check if we can get to Canada today.
35:45Because they're far from Canada.
35:46We're right near Canada.
35:47It could be huge.
35:49It could be absolutely huge.
35:51Canada.
35:55Wendover Productions LLC does not endorse the concept of Canadian statehood, nor does it endorse any threat to Canadian sovereignty
36:01or right to self-determination.
36:03Canada is an independent nation with its own cultures and traditions distinct from those of the United States.
36:08And Wendover Productions LLC fully affirms its right to maintain their culture and identity under its own set of laws
36:15and government.
36:15Any inadvertent suggestion that Canada is or should be a state as produced by the mechanics of this game should
36:21be disregarded and not posted about on Reddit.
36:25Wendover Productions LLC maintains that the Canada wild card is actually cool as hell because it lets you connect states
36:31like Washington and New York, which is actually so crazy if you think about it.
36:35And also, we thought it would be cute if we ended up going to Canada during a season that you
36:40guys thought was just going to be about the United States, but then ended up having Canada also.
36:44So, peace out, love y'all.
36:48Canada.
36:49Yeah.
36:50So, that's not good.
36:53So, I'll just note, Canada connects Michigan and a lot.
36:59And a lot of others.
37:00That would be free.
37:01My take is go to Mississippi now, do it, and eliminate one of those that's going to be easiest for
37:07them to mess them up, right?
37:08I think that's what we've got to do.
37:10Yeah.
37:10Well, let's go.
37:13Oh, my God.
37:15Welcome back to my freaking ride.
37:17It's 100.
37:18It's pretty slick.
37:19Pretty freaking sweet.
37:29What is this?
37:30This is Jefferson Park.
37:31Let's get off.
37:32Okay.
37:33This means we're not doing Michigan.
37:35Well, life is long.
37:39Okay, thanks.
37:41I mean, with us being closer, we've got to go for Canada.
37:43We've got to go for Canada.
37:44We're heading back to O'Hare in hopes that we're going to find a functional flight.
37:50This could be huge, Amy.
37:51If we're able to get this, Canada connects to, like, so many states in different areas, more than any U
37:57.S. state.
37:58Okay, there's a 2 p.m. to Ottawa, but that's going to be really tight.
38:00Ottawa's also a small airport.
38:01There's a 3.30 to Montreal.
38:03I mean, it puts us pretty close to Vermont.
38:05Yeah, there's a Vancouver, but I don't think that would make sense.
38:07Oh, that's...
38:08Okay, they're so expensive.
38:10There's a Detroit.
38:12Detroit, oh, right on the border.
38:14Oh, it would probably be a lot cheaper.
38:16Detroit is a good thought.
38:17There's a 3.09 to Detroit that's a lot cheaper, but we'd have to cross by land.
38:21But I think there's a bus.
38:22I mean, like, we could get, like, a car, so...
38:26Here we go.
38:27Okay.
38:27This is, like, the true jet lag moment.
38:29Yeah.
38:29It's like, we thought we were going to Wisconsin.
38:31Then for, like, five minutes, we thought we were going to Michigan.
38:34And now we think we're going to Canada.
38:36Okay.
38:36But what are they doing?
38:38Let's see if they're driving to Mississippi.
38:46My tummy feels crazy, dude.
38:48Yeah?
38:49I don't think that that's supposed to be the first thing you eat in a day.
38:52Shut the clock up?
38:53Yeah.
38:54I don't think that you're supposed to sort of start the day off with shut the clock up.
38:57Here we are.
38:58Take a look at that.
38:59Mississippi.
39:00Where are they?
39:01My guess would be they can take a train into Michigan, can't they?
39:04They may be going back to the airport, in fact.
39:07Going to freaking Canada.
39:09They could be going to...
39:10Or maybe they're just flying to Detroit.
39:12Oh, isn't Detroit, like, on the border with Canada?
39:15Oh, it is.
39:16Yeah, you can drive straight from Detroit.
39:18And it's weird because you can drive south from Detroit into Canada.
39:22It's starting to look more Mississippi-y.
39:24Yeah, that looks like Mississippi.
39:26Is that the Mississippi River?
39:27No, that's not the Mississippi River.
39:30That's just some other bullshit.
39:31Look at that tractor.
39:32Zoom in on that tractor, bud.
39:33Okay, sure.
39:34Let them see it.
39:35There it is.
39:36That's tractor.
39:37That's damn tractor right there.
39:38I feel like we were just in the middle of Memphis and now we are out here.
39:41Yeah, in a huge way.
39:43I mean, the challenge we've got coming up is a little literary reference.
39:48It is.
39:49What a deep cut literary reference for you guys.
39:51I feel good about what I did and didn't ask.
39:56But I am.
39:57I, like, really wish I had a book.
40:06Okay, welcome to day one of I try to learn one new thing about my introverted boss every day while
40:12we travel the country together.
40:13Basically, I've worked at this company for three years now, and sometimes people are like, oh, like, what's Sam like?
40:19What's his deal?
40:19And I'm like, so while we sort of crisscross the country together, I am challenging myself to learn one specific
40:27thing about him every day.
40:28And just as a fun little challenge, I'm not allowed to ask him directly.
40:31I have to sort of compel him to tell me.
40:34For day one, we're going to start pretty simple.
40:37I am hoping to find out the title of one book he has ever read.
40:42Bonus points.
40:43If I can find out what he thought of it.
40:45Let's go.
40:46I can give you a book.
40:47I don't.
40:48I did not bring a book.
40:50But I feel like I would be, wow, what, you got it already?
40:57Amy said she needed a book.
40:58Oh, my God, this is huge.
41:00Have you read it yet?
41:01No, I was planning on reading it during this.
41:04But I think it's good.
41:06I think I'll like it because they're, like, short stories is my understanding.
41:10Essays.
41:10Essays.
41:12And my attention span is roughly the length of a TikTok.
41:15It's easier to consume because it's more like I'm scrolling vertical videos.
41:18Okay.
41:19They are...
41:21Sick in the head.
41:22They definitely look like they're going to the Mississippi.
41:24It'd be ludicrous if they were to go to Mississippi.
41:26Yeah, but this is great because this means that we have safe route to Canada.
41:29So it'd be $3.71 per person.
41:31Good bet.
41:32Yeah, but, like, what cheaper flights are we going to be finding realistically, like, in general in this game?
41:38We 100% want to go to Canada.
41:39Are we booking?
41:40I think we're booking.
41:42Do it.
41:43$740 bond.
41:45Okay.
41:46That is booked.
41:47It's a hell of a lot better than the options we had before.
41:57I'm actually kind of worried about this one.
41:59No, I think this one could prove kind of tricky, but it's undeniably possible.
42:05Well, I think it's, at a minimum, it's popsicle.
42:08It's popsicle.
42:09It's popsicle.
42:09It's possible.
42:10This is the, uh, this is the Grand Mississippi.
42:14Oh, there is a current.
42:15It's kind of big.
42:17Is that the state flag of Mississippi, do you think?
42:19I think it is, yeah.
42:20That's cool.
42:21And there are two people here, seemingly on a date, and now we're about to join them.
42:26Their date is about to get awesome.
42:29Ugh.
42:31Yeah.
42:32Is that cool?
42:33That's kind of cool.
42:35Ben, welcome to the Mississippi River.
42:37Dude, this is sick.
42:39Oh, it's like, I guess it's like I've seen a lot of pictures of the Mississippi River,
42:43but I suppose we can communicate that it feels really big.
42:46It is enormous.
42:49And it's quite, I'm moved.
42:51I have to say that I'm genuinely feeling a little bit, uh, moved.
42:55Well, we've scared the couple into leaving.
42:57But we were making their date really awesome.
43:00Goodbye to that couple.
43:02All right, let's start by finding Rockleberry.
43:04Okay.
43:05Okay, surely something in here.
43:08Ooh, ooh.
43:11Is that Rockleberry?
43:12Yeah, I think that's Rockleberry, man.
43:22It's so exciting.
43:23I never get to take the train into O'Hare.
43:25Yeah, because it takes like four hours from downtown.
43:28It leaves a little bit of desire in terms of speed, in my opinion.
43:31Yeah, well, sure, but it exists.
43:33Yes, that is a lot better.
43:34Like, we don't have to switch to the little LaGuardia bus, which I respect.
43:39Well, I don't.
43:40Amy, by the way, we haven't done this yet, but who are you?
43:44What are you doing here?
43:45And what gives you the right?
43:46Right.
43:46Um, okay.
43:47Okay, so who am I?
43:49I'm Amy.
43:50Hi.
43:51What am I doing here?
43:52I work at Wendover Productions.
43:54And I guess the Obamas and Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres were not available, so I got the call.
43:59They said they didn't want to take a spot from you.
44:01Well, and that's because the majority of them are very generous people, and one had a scheduling conflict.
44:07What gave me the right?
44:08I kind of operate under the divine right of kings, like, generally speaking.
44:13Like, I think God sort of just said, it's you.
44:15And then, how dare you?
44:17How dare I, um, with gumption and a song in my heart.
44:21The army's here.
44:22The freaking army's here, dude.
44:24It's the army.
44:24Sam and Amy f***ing sent the army here, man.
44:26They sent the army.
44:28Dude, s***.
44:29Uh, we need wood.
44:30Here is a big piece of wood.
44:32Yeah.
44:32Beautiful.
44:34Yep.
44:34Is there anything we can do that's not tying stuff together?
44:38Like, we could probably, like, weave sticks.
44:41We could weave.
44:42Yeah, yeah.
44:43That's what I'm talking about.
44:45And then you get another stick.
44:47I think this is the same kind of wood.
44:49Oh, it's muddy.
44:53Come on in.
44:54I would not be good in a survival type scenario.
44:56No, I've never thought you would be.
44:58You know what I mean?
44:58It's like, if I can get this right, then it holds the whole thing together.
45:03F***.
45:03F***.
45:04Did it.
45:05No, it's fine.
45:06It's fine.
45:06I can fix it.
45:06I mean, I think that is like...
45:11Let's get a good prodding stick.
45:13Yeah, that's a nice long...
45:15I got a prodding stick.
45:20Oh, Jesus.
45:21Okay.
45:22Don't step on that.
45:25Okay.
45:26Boop.
45:28All right, Ben.
45:29You good?
45:30Oh, s***.
45:31Careful.
45:32Careful.
45:32Careful of the mud.
45:34Oh, no!
45:37We fell.
45:38What happened?
45:39No, Ben!
45:40Ben!
45:41Ben, just get out of there.
45:42Get out of there.
45:43Oh, my God.
45:44All right.
45:45We're at the airport.
45:45We're at the airport.
45:46We're going to the airport.
45:47Can you believe it?
45:47Us of all people?
45:48I'm feeling good about knocking New York.
45:51I don't even know if they were doing it.
45:52Yeah, I don't think that they realized that it was advantageous for them based on just
45:56their flight timings.
45:57Okay, Detroit.
45:58I think we've decided it makes sense to go to the airport.
46:01Yes, there were rental cars that Sam was seeing for kind of turbo cheap.
46:05And while there does seem to be a tunnel bus that spiritually we would like to take...
46:09It seems, though...
46:10It doesn't have super high frequency.
46:12So, anyway, we're going to spend a little money, save a little time.
46:15And I don't know if you guys have heard what time is money.
46:17Okay.
46:18All right, ready?
46:20I'm going to try to launch it.
46:26Okay, it's going.
46:27There it goes.
46:28Can we kind of try to, like, give it a little bit of, like...
46:31Yeah?
46:33It's kind of just floating there.
46:35No, but it's moving.
46:37It's got to get past here.
46:40Yeah, well, and it can't go back to shore.
46:43Don't go to the shore.
46:44Don't go to the shore!
46:53Don't go to the shore!
46:55Dude, you are .
46:57It's so slippery.
46:59And it hits shore.
47:00Okay.
47:02Well, it got close.
47:03Amy, they've been at the Mississippi River for quite a long time.
47:08I'm genuinely, like, outside of the game, hoping that they didn't drown.
47:14See, I'm telling you, it's slippery.
47:21Dude, dude.
47:22You've got to get out of here, okay?
47:25I'm calling you.
47:26I'm calling you.
47:28You're done.
47:29I mean, they still show on the bank.
47:32Yeah, they show as alive.
47:35All right, here's the new plan.
47:37I've reconstructed our raft, and I've found the longest stick in the world, and I'm going
47:40to really just push it all the way out.
47:42Oh, this stick.
47:43It's quite the stick.
47:47Let's just try launching from here.
47:50Okay.
47:51You're going to have to do it.
47:52I don't trust myself.
47:53No, don't come down here, dude.
47:54You're banned.
47:55Yeah.
47:55You're banned from Mudtown.
47:56I am glad to be banned from Mudtown.
47:59You are one of the slipperiest boys we've ever seen.
48:01We have much evidence.
48:03So you just do this one.
48:09I turn and I go, shoot, do, do.
48:12I'll be facing forward.
48:22Oh dear.
48:23I didn't even see that.
48:25Okay, that's fine.
48:28Okay.
48:29There she is.
48:34No.
48:36Rockleberry is dead.
48:37Let me see if I can get the raft back.
48:39Oh, okay.
48:40Good hooking at least.
48:42Don't lose it.
48:43Trying to hook it.
48:44See, now it really wants to move.
48:47No.
48:48I think it's gone.
48:54Well, it continues to float, which is admirable.
48:57All right, let's hurry.
48:58Let's, we gotta, we gotta get another one going.
49:01This challenge looked challenging.
49:04Consequence being, we should probably discuss maybe
49:06what we want to protect in case they call over.
49:10While we're on the flight, yeah.
49:11I mean, Canada.
49:12Yeah.
49:13Yes.
49:13If that means no Michigan, devastating.
49:17I mean, I think almost certainly no Michigan.
49:18Unless again, they, they completely biff this challenge
49:21and they're still doing it by the time we get.
49:22Yeah.
49:23And they just, and they just eventually like cut bait and give up.
49:25Yeah.
49:25If it seems impossible, how hard does it seem?
49:27I mean, cut to how hard it seems.
49:33Try this.
49:34Look, I, I'm gonna find another Rockleberry cause we did kill him.
49:45I think I kinda got it.
49:48I broke the whole thing.
49:50I'm, I'm, I'm getting lost, man.
49:54I don't understand.
49:55I don't understand.
49:55We, we, we had it.
49:56A little did we know we used the best sticks on the damn beach.
50:00We still need more bark if that rock is gonna be able to sit on it though.
50:04I mean, yeah, maybe this can served a dual purpose.
50:08I think we might've done it.
50:09I think.
50:10No, careful.
50:11I think that's it, Ben.
50:12Okay.
50:13I think we got it.
50:14Okay.
50:14Should we try it?
50:15Let's not forget Rockleberry.
50:17Okay.
50:18Okay.
50:19Now we just gotta get it out there without Rockleberry falling.
50:25Yeah.
50:25Just be very careful not to tilt it.
50:32All right.
50:34What's up?
50:38Come on, buddy.
50:40Now we wait.
50:42You know what they call this plane, Amy?
50:45Ooh, um, Mr. Jones.
50:49No, they call it the Devil's Chariot.
50:50Oh, um, what happened?
50:53Well, it's just very, very, uh, compact inside.
50:56Should we go aboard?
50:57Sure.
50:58Let's.
51:20Here.
51:21Let's set up a shot so that we can do a time lapse.
51:29All right, Ben.
51:30When it passes me, that's it.
51:32Okay.
51:32It's getting close.
51:34Bye, Rockleberry.
51:36Good luck to you.
51:38I wonder what it's gonna learn on its journey.
51:41I think that's it, Ben.
51:42Look, it passed me.
51:43There we go.
51:45Boom.
51:57All right, let's call him.
51:58That's Mississippi claim.
51:59I only fell over five times.
52:02It only took way longer than it should have.
52:05Ben, they're on a plane.
52:05Can you please draw, Ben?
52:10A little bit of South Dakota.
52:12Okay, how do we feel about that?
52:14I don't think it does too much for us right now.
52:17Now the real question.
52:18What do we want to eliminate?
52:19I think we want to get rid of Canada.
52:21Yeah.
52:21Let's try and get rid of Canada.
52:21Let's eliminate Canada.
52:22Amy has said no.
52:24She says that's a no.
52:26In that case...
52:27I think it's gotta be Michigan.
52:28Michigan.
52:29I suppose we could also get rid of Vermont,
52:31but I think Michigan is an easier thing.
52:33Goodbye, Michigan.
52:34And to replace it?
52:37Let's find out.
52:40Georgia.
52:43Georgia is one of the eight beautiful states
52:45that borders Tennessee.
52:46Well then, I think we have no choice but to go to Georgia.
52:51Because Louisiana is our only other pick,
52:53but that's safe because it's private.
52:56Can we drive to Georgia or is that a no-go?
52:59I think that's crazy.
53:01Yeah, it's pretty far.
53:02I think we go back to Memphis.
53:04Yeah, I think we fly to Atlanta.
53:05And I think we fly to Atlanta.
53:06I am gonna do a quick pants change.
53:09Totally.
53:10All right.
53:11New pair of pants, new me.
53:14Very exciting.
53:15Let's go back to Memphis.
53:16Can you see what the next flight is to Atlanta?
53:18I mean, it's gotta be the case that there are frequent flights
53:21from Memphis to Atlanta,
53:22like if Atlanta's the biggest hub in the South.
53:24And we have to get in before 8pm Atlanta time.
53:29That's right.
53:30Is that gonna be doable?
53:32Let's see.
53:33No, there's actually only seemingly one flight to Atlanta left today.
53:38It's at 7.
53:39That's it?
53:39Yeah.
53:40What the hell?
53:41Okay, look at what flights there are out of Memphis at all.
53:44Yeah, I'm not really seeing great flights for us.
53:47I think that there's just a lot of flights that must be sold out.
53:51I mean, Google Flights is literally just saying drive to Atlanta.
53:54Do we need to drive to Louisiana?
53:56I mean...
53:57I think we need to pull over because we're driving away from Louisiana.
54:01So if we're gonna go to Louisiana...
54:03All right.
54:04We gotta...
54:04All right.
54:20Okay.
54:34Okay.
54:35I mean, see if you're seeing the same thing as me.
54:39Jesus.
54:41I'm seeing that literally the only place we could fly is Philadelphia.
54:45I wanna go there.
54:46Memphis Airport really letting us down.
54:48I wonder if we hadn't taken so long with Rockleberry
54:51if we could have gotten a flight.
54:52There were four flights from New York to Memphis today.
54:54We have the biggest pyramid in the world.
54:57So now I think we gotta either drive to Atlanta.
55:00We wouldn't get there by the end of the day.
55:02Or drive to Louisiana, actually.
55:05Now the trouble with driving to Louisiana is if you drive to Louisiana,
55:08we're in the middle of nowhere.
55:09Atlanta is five hours, 45 minutes.
55:12So we'd have to drive for an extra two hours in the morning.
55:15So I kind of start to think maybe we need to drive to Atlanta.
55:19Do we have any other options?
55:21The thing is, if we waited around until tomorrow morning,
55:24we would likely still wanna go to Georgia.
55:27And so we would probably take a flight to Georgia first thing in the morning.
55:31And like at that point, what's the point?
55:33It's just so inefficient, man.
55:35It feels crazy.
55:37I think we should start driving.
55:38I think we're going to Atlanta, dude.
55:40I don't see another option.
55:43For the time being,
55:45I don't know what is better than at least heading towards Atlanta.
55:49Road trip!
55:50Maybe we turn around.
55:54Welcome back!
55:55Thank you so much for watching the first episode of this new season on Nebula.
55:59Also, we freaking got you.
56:01Canada's involved.
56:02Canada's involved with this season.
56:03All of you said there was no way that Canada would be involved.
56:05I saw all the comments.
56:06They said there's no way that Canada's in there.
56:08They've all been saying this.
56:09We punked you.
56:10You got punked.
56:11You got tricked.
56:12We tricked your ass.
56:13You just done got gone.
56:14And if you wanna find out more about how we came up with that...
56:18It was so genius.
56:21You can check out this week's episode of The Layover,
56:23which is our little after show podcast.
56:25Just for you.
56:26Just for you.
56:28Nebula subscribers.
56:29Speaking of just for you,
56:30I also recommend, especially if you like my partner Amy,
56:33you go check out the show that she spends a lot more time doing than this.
56:36She's our director of the show, Abolish Everything,
56:39one of the originals that we, the Wyndover team, put together.
56:41It's a comedy debate show where comedians come on
56:42and abolish some societal ill, like...
56:46Varmints.
56:46You abolished varmints.
56:47And what do you do?
56:48I abolished the dentist.
56:49I also abolished children doing plays.
56:52The worst.
56:53It's one of the worst things that can happen.
56:54Don't let them do entertainment.
56:56They suck.
56:57Just not plays.
56:58They can do musicals.
56:59But plays...
57:00They don't sing good.
57:01Well, look, if you want to know my nuanced takes on this,
57:03watch Abolish Everything.
57:05Okay.
57:05Yeah, go watch that.
57:06It's available to you free right here on Nebula,
57:08because you're already a subscriber.
57:09And it's fun.
57:11Yeah.
57:12Yeah.
57:13Check it out.
57:15Bye.
