  • Hey everybody

  • so this is gonna have to be a filler week because as you know,

  • Right now I am working on the next few country episodes

  • but in the meantime

  • This is gonna be part two of the last video that I did for filler week explaining the largest cities in the USA per state

  • Before I get into it, I got a quick announcement

  • So a while back I checked the UN's website on the statistics division

  • and as of recently they just officially accepted the switch of the name between

  • Swaziland to Eswatini so taking all of that into account for the very first time we will nullify the

  • Alphabetical rule for geography now and the next episode will be Eswatini. Whoa that has never happened before on the show

  • Anyway, let's get into these cities. Shall we Billings, Montana?

  • This is like this city you fly to if you want to visit

  • Yellowstone National Park because it's like the largest major city it close to the area

  • I've known people that have lived here and they said it's kind of like a small town with a lot of people that

  • Accidentally became a city. It's one of those Wild West cities where like a lot of famous Cowboys lived and died

  • I've never been here, but I feel like the people here probably really like to carve wood

  • I don't know if you're from Billings. Is that true?

  • Do you like to carve wood? Omaha, Nebraska Omaha is like that deep core of the Midwest

  • I knew somebody from Omaha and they joked that Omaha is like the city that you're born in so that you can move out

  • They literally even have a bronze sculpture park dedicated to the people that moved out in Conestoga wagons back in the 1800s

  • They have a huge pedestrian bridge. They host the College World Series

  • They have five fortune 500 companies found here including Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway

  • Of course, he lives there but most importantly Omaha is famous for its takes some of our best steaks come from here

  • They're literally shipped all over the world in like those dry ice containers

  • You know, it's good

  • If it's from Omaha, Las Vegas, Nevada, keep in mind though

  • All that flashy casino stuff on the Las Vegas Strip is technically not part of Las Vegas City

  • It's part of a separate entity called Paradise, which is kind of like an unincorporated town of the USA

  • It used to be run by the Mafia or whatever something like that Vegas is basically Los Angeles's crazy

  • Ex-girlfriend that he keeps hitting up out of loneliness and literally I'm not even joking

  • Everything has a casino in it. The gas stations the grocery stores the 7-eleven medical assistants

  • Just go around the roulette table the thrills the lights the shows the overdraft fees

  • I mean if this recreation is your thing, then I say go for it, but for me no offense, Las Vegas

  • But you're just a little bit too much for me, Manchester, New Hampshire

  • Manchester is what I would like to call a novelist city. You know how all those famous authors like Stephen King or that dude?

  • Who wrote Catcher in the Rye they just kind of like disappeared from the public eye and they hide away in these classes serene foresty

  • Atmospheres. That's basically Manchester. It's a place where rich authors can just like hide

  • Otherwise, I'll let's see what else my research says. They had this huge converted mill building from the 1800s

  • I think the population is like somewhere between five to ten percent
