Its motto is north to the future. It's a national animal national, it's state animal is the moose. It would be the moose. And the fun fact that I found for it was Alaska was first, quote, discovered by Vitus Johansson Bering in 1741 on his way to Siberia. It was settled by Russians and eventually bought in 1867 by the US Secretary of State William H. Seward for $7.2 million or two cents per acre. Yeah. And it's the largest US state so I keep fucking doing that. Right. Why is a lemur or monkey Arizona's? I didn't think animals or lemurs were in North America. Oh, yeah, I didn't think they were. I thought they were in from Madagascar, not Arizona. I mean, I believe what you're saying. I just, I don't understand why. Oh, I see. Oh, they are so cute. Oh, they're like, they're like a cat raccoon thing. Oh, that's really cute. Yeah. That's really fun. That is a very fun fact. Good. It's not going to fall down. Good, good. Next is Arkansas. Its nickname is the natural state. And every time I see Arkansas, I think of that vine. It's like I am confusion. Why? Why not Arkansas? I love that one. It's motto is Regnat Populus, or which is Latin for the people rule. It's animal is the white tailed deer. There are a lot of states with that as their state animal. So just like we don't have any other animals. So I guess the white tailed deer. Mine too. Arizona is pretty close, though, and apparently the ring tail is in the raccoon family. So it's so cute. It's so cute. Oh, my goodness. Adorable. Anyway, so I have two little, little fun facts about Arkansas. So the name of the state is based off the Sioux word Atenza. And Arkansas is like a French interpretation of that, which means downstream place. Yeah. And Arkansas is home to six national parks and 50 state parks. There's a lot of parks. Probably. There's like when I was scrolling through the all the different facts about Arkansas, a lot of it was about like its natural geography and stuff. Events that happened. Yeah. OK. California. I'm just imagining people from coma going, bring out your dead. Bring out your dead. Oh, my God. Yeah, because all the people dying in San Francisco. Oh, my goodness. The most haunted town in the world. Just so you know what you're getting into. All right. Next is Colorado, known as the Centennial State. And that's, yay. And it's called the Centennial State because it was founded on the centennial of the U.S. being founded. Its motto is Nelsinae Numenae, which is Latin for nothing without providence. Its animal is the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. And the fun fact I found is in, I don't know if it's Fruta or Fruita, Colorado, locals celebrate Mike the Headless Chicken Day after a chicken that was meant to be eaten had its head cut off and it lived for another four years back in 1945. Yeah. I think I've heard that story to the end. It lived four years, so now locals in this little town celebrate Mike the Headless Chicken Day. What an interesting slogan. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Cool. Yeah. Next up is Delaware. Its nickname is the First State. It will let you know it was the first. Its motto is liberty and independence. Its animal is the gray fox. Love that, yeah. And so I have two little fun facts. It was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787. And it's home to a very large population of horseshoe crabs that you can go visit. Hey, I love all these little weird facts that we found. I do, too. I'm going to be so full of fun facts after this episode. Mm-hmm. Oh, my God. I, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Don't do that. Oh, that's neat. All right. Next up is Georgia. It is the peach state. It's okay. Its motto is wisdom, justice, moderation. It's just really funny. Like, wisdom, justice, moderation. It's either all or nothing. It has two animals, the white-tailed deer and the right whale. Mm-hmm. Not a left whale, a right whale. I don't know what a right whale is. And I don't know whales. I don't know about any whales that come around, like, the eastern U.S. I only know in, like, the western U.S. Right? This is a mammoth task. Why did I say mammoth? My brain said mammal and then shifted to mammoth, and I don't know why. See, this is why I'm not good at puns, you guys. Emily Raines Supreme. Oh, God, I'm not witty enough for this. Are you sure? Anyway, the fun fact I have for Georgia is that Blackbeard, the pirate, had, like, a home base on an island off the coast of Georgia, and in 1975 the U.S. Congress designated the island as Blackbeard Island Wilderness Area. I thought that was neat. No. Absolutely not. Ooh. Yeah. Like, humpback whale makes sense for Hawaii. I've seen humpback whales in Hawaii. Hawaii. Very cool. Not the fact that the monarchy was dissolved, but the fact that it's still there. That's cool. Idaho. I knew. I was trying to come up with something. No, it's not that. Anyway, it's known as the gem state. Its motto is esto perpetua, or let it be perpetual. Its animal is the Appaloosa, which is a breed of horse. And I have two little fun facts for Idaho. The first one is there is an Idahoan law that forbids someone to give someone else a box of candy weighing more than 50 pounds. That's a lot of candy. And it's home to a tree that is more than 18 feet wide, 177 feet tall, and is more than 3,000 years old. I think it's some kind of oak or sequoia. I didn't write down what kind of tree it was. There's a lot of facts about trees that I stumbled across, like in looking at all the different states. Like a lot of random tree facts, though. They're all kind of blending together. Okay. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Cool. Is it filled with actual ketchup? I was not expecting ketchup at the end of that sentence. I was like, bottle of? Okay, cool. Ketchup. Oh. Okay. That's ketchup. Okay. All right. Next is Indiana or the Hoosier State. Yeah, Hoosiers. Or is it Hoosier? I don't know what it is. I don't... It never came up. Yeah. If you're from Indiana, tell us what a Hoosier is. I thought that was neat. I thought that was neat. Limestone. Yes. Iowa. All right. Very patriotic. Yeah. Okay. Very awesome. Okay. I have a... I've already told Emily the story, but I have a little bit of backstory for this next state we're going to cover, which is Kansas. So when I was younger, we... You know, everyone has to do a project on this stage where you research... Emily's already starting to laugh. I can see her laughing at me. That doesn't help. I know you're laughing. So, like, most kids in the U.S. have to do a project on the states, and they research, like, the state, how it was founded, its nickname. Well, when I was in fourth grade, for some reason, I didn't know what it meant for a state to have a nickname. And I had Kansas. And I thought that that meant we had to come up with a nickname for this state instead of researching what its nickname was. So I remember, like, turning in, it was, like, these huge posters. We were writing all the facts about the states. And I see all the kids, and their posters are up, and I see, like, the garden state and the volunteer state. And I was, like, oh, no, I misunderstood the assignment. Because in bright blue all-caps marker for Kansas, I wrote, I wrote CROPPY. Because I was, like, there's crops that grow in Kansas. And it was so embarrassing. CROPPY, Kansas. And it stayed up for so long, for, like, months. It stayed up longer than any other school project I hung up on the wall. And the worst thing about it was that I don't think this teacher liked me very much because she put my poster eye level, like, straight as we were coming out of the classroom. So it was the first thing I saw any time I walked out of our classroom. She was, like, you know, I'm going to embarrass this little 10-year-old in my classroom that didn't know what a state nickname was. Anyway, it's CROPPY in all-caps. It's burned into my memory forever. Anyway, the actual nickname for Kansas is the Sunflower State, which I think is a lot better than CROPPY. Oh, wow. Oh, well, thank you. I appreciate that. It's motto is ad astra. Yeah. It's animal is the American buffalo, and I have three little fun facts about Kansas. The first one is that Hattie McDaniel, who we've mentioned before, she was the first black woman to win an Academy Award, was born in Kansas City. She was the first black woman to win an Academy Award, and she was the first black woman to win an Academy Award. Number four, she was the first black woman to win an Academy Award, was born in Kansas. Number two, there used to be a law where it was illegal to serve ice cream on cherry pie. Don't mess with the cherry pie. To the point where it was a law. I don't know. Probably Miss Sally May got in a right tizzy that someone dared to put ice cream on her cherry pie. That was a Parker's crust that you ruined. Oh, yeah. And then the third little fun fact I have is that the first female mayor in the U.S. was Susan Medora Salter. She was the first black woman to win an Academy Award, was born in Kansas City. The first black woman to win an Academy Award was Susan Medora Salter, who was elected in 1887 in Argonia, Kansas. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, my God. No, it's not. That's crazy. And it's weird how that happens because, sorry to get off track again, but the county that the Jack Daniels Distillery is in, in Tennessee, it's also, I guess, a moist county, you could say, because you can buy Jack Daniels at the distillery, but you cannot buy it anywhere else in town. That's very interesting. I don't know either. Probably, it wouldn't surprise me if there was some kind of, like, lobby that's, like, where there is a distillery, you can only limit sales to that distillery so they continue to make money directly in the distillery instead of just, like, I don't know. I don't know how it works. It wouldn't surprise me. That's just a guess. All right. Ready to move on? Louisiana. The Pelican State. Pelicans. Its motto is union, justice, and confidence. You want to know what its animal is? No, it's a black bear. With black bears. I don't know. And I have another interesting law. So there is a law in Louisiana that states that if you bite someone with your natural teeth, it is a simple assault, but if you bite them with false teeth, it's aggravated assault. I know. That's crazy to me. I feel like if you bite anyone at any point in time, unless you're, like, a baby with just gums, it's aggravated assault. Teeth hurt. And the human jaw is enough bite force to, like, crunch a finger like a carrot. Like, bites are no joke. And they're more deadly bacterial-wise than dog bites. It's all to do with, like, our microbiome. And we're not really good at sending off other people's microbiomes, but they get in our bloodstream. A mess. Let's do it. Maryland. Oh, okay, cool. Yeah. Okay. Line, L-I-N-E. Like line. I am. It's motto, I'm going to attempt this. Which is Italian. For strong deeds, gentle words. Yeah, I like it. It's animal is the thoroughbred. Got another horse here. And in 1813, the residents of St. Michael's in Maryland hung up lanterns and trees and on shit masks as the oncoming British Navy approached. This tactic caused the British to miss almost the entire town. They, like, overshot the entire town because they thought it was, like, higher up than it actually was. And cannon fire only hit one house, which is now known as the Cannonball House. Yeah. Do it. Oh! Salem and all the other places in Massachusetts. Okay. Hmm. Yeah. Oh! All right. Hmm. Wow. Yeah, I would call it Webster Lake, too. Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! That's really funny. Michigan. The Great Lakes State. Its motto... I'm going to attempt this. This one's a long one. See? Which is Latin for, if you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you. Ha, ha, ha! We are, like, the entire state of Michigan. Both parts is peninsulas. Ha, ha, ha! Look about you! Ha, ha, ha! Its animal is the white-tailed deer. And the University of Michigan was the first state university in the U.S. founded in 1817, and its original name was Cathelopistamion before being renamed to the University of Michigan in 1821. So that only lasted, like, four years. Ha, ha, ha! Yeah. Mm-hmm. Ha, ha, ha! Oh, shit! Ha, ha, ha! Aw. Mm-hmm. Makes sense. Ha, ha, ha! You know what? Like, everything about this story makes sense. Like, you got a guy from Minnesota, like, I'm assuming, like, this all, just this guy, he's like, you know, it'll be a good idea, hold my beer, I'm gonna steam these two pine boards, I'm gonna stand on them behind a boat, and then they're just gonna go. Ha, ha, ha! Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mississippi. The... I was about to say, it's the most fun state to spell. Ha, ha, ha! It is the Magnolia State. Its motto is Virtute et Armis, or By Valor in Arms. Very intense. Its animal is the white-tailed deer. It's the home of the world's largest cactus plantation. I know, I was not expecting that. And it's also where Teddy Roosevelt famously refused to shoot a captured bear, which resulted in the teddy bear being created. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mizzou. Maybe because it's short for Missouri. I think I've been to Mizzou before. I think we went there for a... Or maybe we played against them in a... I used to play Quidditch, you guys, because I'm a super nerd. I think we either went there or we played against them at a tournament for Quidditch. Oh, what you gonna show me? Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! We've already established Idaho, so... Mm-hmm. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, me too. All right, Montana. It's known as the treasure state. Its motto is Oro y Plata, which is Spanish for gold and silver. The animal is the grizzly bear. And I have three little fun facts about Montana. One, it has more species of mammals than any other state. Number two, it's home of Yellowstone National Park, which was the first national park in the U.S. And number three, Jack Horner, who is the chief paleontologist of the Museum of the Rockies, was the inspiration for Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. Yeah. I thought that was neat. Ha, ha, ha! Nebraska. Heh. So I guess it's like we don't care what your law says, we're all gonna be equal. Okay. I do see that in, like, during slavery, that being a thing for sure. Food facts. Oh! That's the big thing. I mean, I guess a soft drink is just a drink that doesn't have alcohol in it, because those are hard drinks. No, it's any non-alcoholic drinks, because alcoholic drinks are hard, so... No, and it... I didn't until it was, like, way late in my career as a waitress. Yeah. I love that. Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Yeah. Ha, ha, ha! Sure. All right. We have Nevada, the Silver State. Its motto is, All for our country. Its animal is the desert bighorn sheep. And I have two little fun facts about Nevada. I've heard it's technically pronounced Nevada, not Nevada. So, one, it is the second highest producer of gold in the world behind South Africa. And, two, camels were used to traverse the Nevada desert until 1870. Ha, ha, ha! I know! Camels! In the United States, in Nevada! Yeah. They're very stinky. I don't want a camel. They smell really bad. Yeah. You should just do that. As long as, like, you didn't live at the zoo. I think so. Ha, ha, ha! Hmm. Hmm. I'm ready. Ah! America! Hmm. Ha, ha, ha! Like crying, like soaring in the air. Yeah! Ha, ha, ha! Hmm. Ooh! Yeah, that's apt. It's a mystery! It's on a hill! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Okay, next one. Got New Jersey. New Jersey! Where Cory is! It's the Garden State. It's motto is Liberty and Prosperity. Okay. Ha, ha, ha! Then live free or die. Ha, ha, ha! This is live free and have a good life. Yeah. It's animal is the horse. Not any kind, just horse. It's considered the diner capital of the world. Has the highest percentage of an urban population in the U.S. So like most, there's a higher percentage of its population being urban than anywhere else in the U.S. And it is the car theft capital of the world. Ha, ha, ha! Specifically North New Jersey. Ha, ha, ha! The website I was looking on said it had more car thefts than New York and Los Angeles combined. Ha, ha, ha! This is New Jersey, not Nevada. Ha, ha, ha! New Mexico! Oh! Love that. Ha, ha, ha! I love the song at the end of the movie where it's like Columbia, My Enchantment. De quiero! I can't sing. I can only sing it like when I'm listening to it. I do too. Ha, ha, ha! Okay! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! No. Oh! Okay. Salsa? Enchilada? Okay. Okay. Chilies. And I love chili sauce and salsa. Mmm. I made enchiladas the other day. They're really good. Yes! We can make each other food. Ha, ha, ha! All right. Next is New York! New York. The Empire State. Its motto is not, I'm walking, hey, I'm walking you. It's Excelsior! With an exclamation point. Ha, ha, ha! It's Latin for ever upward. Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Its animal is the beaver. And the New York Post is the oldest running newspaper in the U.S. founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1803. And it is also home to the first capital of the U.S., New York City. Noise. Oh, yeah. Yes. I guess it means, like, being authentic versus, like, seeming a certain way. That's my cursory thought of what that might mean, but I don't know. Noise. Ha, ha, ha! Croatoan. Croatoan. That's one of those, the mysteries that I, I'm like, what happened? And I think about it. I wouldn't say it's my Roman Empire, but I definitely think about it more than probably most people do. And I'm just like, what happened? I want to know. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Is there anything new that's come out about it? North Dakota. The Peace Garden State. Maybe because the Garden State was already taken, so they're like, the Peace Garden State. I don't know. Its motto is liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable. Its animal is the Nakoda horse. Dakota is sued for friends or allies, and it has tried to drop the North from its name and just be called Dakota twice. Once in 1947, and again in 1989. Both have failed. Ha, ha, ha! It just wants to be Dakota. And poor South Dakota is like, what about us? Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Well, it's like Virginia and West Virginia. You know. It's like we were here first. I don't know if it actually was or not, but... Ha, ha, ha! Yeah. Oh, gosh. My stepdad's from Ohio, and I can't hear Ohio without hearing him say, O-H-I-O! It's embedded into my genes at this point. Ha, ha, ha! Everywhere we go, if he sees someone with even a hint of Ohio State red, he will scream across a restaurant, he will scream across a parking lot, anywhere, at any point in time. Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! T-E-N-N-E-S-S-E-E! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! T-S-S-S-S-I-P-P-I! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Oh, my God! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! We're incognito! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Labor Omnia Vincent, which is Hard Work Conquers All Things. I bet they did. It's Animals of Buffalo. And Oklahoma has the largest population of Native Americans in the U.S. with 67 tribes represented within Oklahoma and with 39 tribes having Oklahoma as their headquarters. And this, they have a population of 250,000 Native Americans. Not as many as I thought, though. 250. And it's the highest, it's the largest population of Native Americans in the U.S., within one state. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I just think it, not so much a fun fact, but I thought it was really important to talk about. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Oh, wow. Ha, ha, ha! No one else's wings. Just mine. Ha, ha, ha! Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But Colorado has more statewide. That's not a fun fact about Colorado that I wrote down, but it's one I came across. Ha, ha, ha! But Portland, that makes sense. Yeah. That's where everyone goes. Like, everyone goes to Portland so they can open a brewery. Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! All right. Next is Pennsylvania, the Keystone State. Its motto is, I don't know, I didn't see anything about keystones. Its motto is Virtue, Liberty, and Independence, which makes sense because, you know, like Philadelphia and all that. It's animals of white-tailed deer, and I thought this was very interesting. So the first medical application of oxygen was completed by Dr. George Holtzapfel in 1885, saving his 16-year-old patient from pneumonia. What? Ha, ha, ha! Ha, ha, ha! Well... Ha, ha, ha! I've never got a chance to meet your Papa, but from what stories you've told me about him, that's, that's, yeah, that checks. Ha, ha, ha! Rhode Island. It's not. Ha, ha, ha! I feel like we're going to manifest that we're an island. Just hope. Aw! The shortest, the shortest slogan for the smallest state. Ha, ha, ha! I love both of those facts. Ha, ha, ha! Cool. Cool. Ooh! Mm! I'll watch you, yeah. That sounds great. Ha, ha, ha! Let's do that. All right. Next is South Carolina, which is where Kyle's from. It's the Palmetto State. Its motto is Dom Spiro Sparo, which is Latin for While I Breathe, I Hope. Its animal is white, the white-tailed deer. Two little fun facts about South Carolina. One, it produces and ships more peaches than Georgia. It's like the number one producer and shipper of peaches in the U.S. I know, I think when it's talking about Georgia, it's the highest quality of peaches. But South Carolina produces more. They're shitty, pissed peaches! Ha, ha, ha! The second little fun fact that I just found delightful. You can view the very first boll weevil found in South Carolina at the Pendleton District Agricultural Museum. Ha, ha, ha! They caught it and they saved it and you can look at it in the museum. Ha, ha, ha! No. Ha, ha, ha! Boots and snoots and boots and snoots and boots and snoots and boots and snoots. Ha, ha, ha! Okay. Not Mount Rushmore. Ha, ha, ha! Okay. Alright. Ha, ha, ha! They're close. Just let them have this one, Emily. Ha, ha, ha! You know what's next, Emily. Ha, ha, ha! Rocky top, you'll always be ha, ha, ha! Home to me. Go, Rocky Top! Woo! So, the website that I used, which was like 50states.com, had a lot of information about Tennessee that I was not prepared for. And it was really hard to choose. I narrowed it down to four. And I was like, well, it's a state we're from, so I'm going to expand a little bit upon it. But it had a lot of really cool facts. It had like, one of the also, like, each state had a list of their songs, their state songs. Tennessee has a lot. Ha, ha, ha! There's like six. Tennessee, it's the volunteer state! And it's motto is agriculture and commerce! I know! Ha, ha, ha! I know. Farm, farm, farm, farm, farm. It's animals the raccoon! Yay! So, I have four fun facts about Tennessee. And I kind of divided it up into regions. So, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville is the longest running radio live radio program on Earth. It is broadcast every Friday and Saturday since 1925. Yep. Number two, Oak Ridge, Tennessee is where the atomic bomb was developed. Yep. Yeah. And number three, the National Civil Rights Museum is located in Memphis, Tennessee at the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. And the last one, Tennessee comes from the Yuchi word, tanasi, which means the meeting place. Yeah, in, like, east of the Mississippi. Which for a while that was the, like, before people started crossing the Mississippi, that was the United States. So, or the buckle. Alright, that's what I got for Tennessee. Woo! Alright. Yes. Oh, the continent of Europe. Ha! Ha! The fact that you followed up with you can shoot intact Bigfoot, but they're not considered endangered. Ha! Ha! Oh my god, that shit's so funny. Alright. Next is Utah. The Beehive State. It's motto is Industry. That's it. They're busy bees over in Utah. Ha! This animal is a Rocky Mountain elk. And Utah is home to many wonderful natural rock formations, including the Rainbow Bridge. It is the world's largest natural rock span at 278 feet wide and 309 feet high, made of complete sandstone. Yeah. Ha! Ha! I think that's the only slogan that references itself. Ha! Ha! Y'all, I am named after the Morgan horse. My mom, that's her favorite kind of horse, and my mom was a crazy horse girl, and she named me after her favorite breed of horse. That's why my name is Morgan. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Yeah. Ha! Ha! I can't imagine there's that many that do. Like, super north yeah. That's a lot of maple syrup. Alright, next one. Virginia. The Old Dominion State. Its motto is Six Semper Tyrannis, or Thus Always to Tyrants. I-O. Thus Always to Tyrants. I don't know what thus means. Like, I know what it means, but not like yeah. Its animal is the American foxhound, and I thought this- I have two little fun facts about Virginia. One, this boggled my mind. About half of the entire U.S. population lives within a 500 mile radius of Richmond, Virginia. About half. New York City is only 350 miles away, so I figured that probably has a lot to do with it, but and just the East Coast has a lot of people, but yeah. According to this website, about half of the entire U.S. population lives within the 500 mile radius of Richmond, Virginia. And eight U.S. presidents were born in Virginia. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, and Wilson. Alright, that's Virginia. Okay. They're just vibing. Okay. I think marmots are cute. They're like little weasels, I think. I saw the ringtail pulled up. It's so cute. That's a rodent. That's a rodent. Oh, cute. They do look like prairie dogs. Cool. Yeah. Wait. I have another state that was the first to give women the right to vote. Hmm. Hmm. Wyoming. Hmm. Both of our sources lied to us. Oh, no. Wyoming was the first, right? And then Utah was the second. Okay. I don't hear anything, but I can also hear the highway outside of my house. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I've got fairies as in like boats that move people. Okay. I had to make sure they didn't mean like the fae. Oh. Okay. Neat. Next is West Virginia. Mountain Mama. Country roads. It is the mountain state. Its motto is Montani Semper Liberi. Our mountaineers are always free. Which I can get behind. This animal is the black bear. And the first women-only federal prison was opened in West Virginia in 1926. And that was everything else is about like mountains and coal mines and trees. Okay. Wisconsin. That's where I have family living. Family, like cousins and aunts and stuff. Oh. Oh. Not that way. That way. Oh. Yeah. Okay. Uh. Oh, like discuses, but it's cow patties. Let's draw a cow shit. I don't know. No. Don't. Don't do that. Alright. Next is Wyoming. The equality state. Its motto equal rights. Its animal is the buffalo. And I have two little fun facts about Wyoming. One, it was the first state to get, well it was a territory at the time, but it was the first to give women the right to vote. And two, the Wyoming license plate has a fucking bronco on it. Its name is Old Steamboat. And it was an unbreakable horse that could not be ridden. Old Steamboat. I have a quick question that we can edit out. I know, unlike the chart, I put like Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico were bonuses. Did you look up anything about Washington D.C.? Okay. Great. Because I looked up stuff about Puerto Rico, so I just wanted to make sure. It's like Virginia and Maryland. I love that. Mm-hmm. All right. My last honorable mention is Puerto Rico. Its nickname is La Isla del Encanto or the Island of Enchantment. Its motto is Joanes Es Nuestro and Puerto Rico Joanes Es Nomen Iuis. I hope I did that right. It's Latin for John is his name. And when I was I saw this on, I think, like Wikipedia. There was a few Johns that were referenced. I don't know which John it's referring to. John the Baptist was referenced. A couple other Johns. So, John is his name is the slogan of Puerto Rico. Its animal is the coqui which is a little frog. And it's called a coqui because that's the sound it makes. Coqui? I know. And like Washington, D.C., it is not a U.S. state. It is a U.S. territory. Citizens can travel back and forth between the two without the need for passports. It has its own government and its own Senate and House of Representatives. They do not vote in U.S. elections. Instead, they elect a resident commissioner who participates in U.S. Congress and speaks on behalf of Puerto Rico. So, it sounds like they have more involvement than even Washington, D.C. does. They don't have a voice in what kind of U.S. policies are instilled onto them as far as voting does. But they have someone who can speak on their behalf who can be in Senate committees or Congress committees and stuff like that. But it sounds like D.C. doesn't even have that kind of representation. I guess they would just have to set up a permanent address. Just like... Yeah. Because they're still U.S. citizens. Yeah. So, they don't need to file for immigration or anything. They can just move here if they want to. I assume... I have no idea. I've never looked at the process of moving to and from Puerto Rico. I just know you can go there without a passport. Just go? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah! So, we did a little bit over 50. But, you know, D.C. and Puerto Rico are still... Yeah. Yeah. If you have any ideas for what we can do for our 100th episode, please let us know because I currently have no idea and I'm already panicking about it. I know. I know. Still, though. I know. Yeah.
