Can I name all the US State Capitals? QUIZ

all right today's gonna be a fun one the color grade we got some natural lighting okay the lighting's gonna be all over the place hello everybody and welcome back to a man who clicks something and immediately forgets about it my name is evan edgar and you know one day i was at a pub quiz a year or two ago it was a fun pub quiz at one point there was a bonus question which was who can name the state capital for the state of nevada which i slammed my hand on the table carson city nevada i shout actually i wrote it down a piece of paper but that did sound pretty theatrical turns out i was correct and i was the only person in the entire room to get that correct and so i won myself a free beer it was just a pironi but hey free beer my friends were pretty jealous they're like evan how the heck do you know the state capital in nevada aren't you from new jersey oh yes i've got a lot of weird stuff up here that was drilled into me in elementary school okay i learned a lot of mnemonic devices and i can't get them out of my head and so uh last week as you know i did a video trying to guess all of england's counties i got 51 or something like that i was pretty happy and you guys just took my off the cuff comment about how easily it would be for me to place all the us states you took that seriously and went prove it and i went i'm doubling down i'm teaching you guys all about the state capitals i'm confident i can get at least 92 percent of the state capitals correct okay i'm fairly confident also let's jump in before i do this video isn't sponsored except by myself to say by the way my photography prints are very close to coming out they're coming out really soon i would highly recommend if you haven't signed up to my mailing list for the prints if you want to get one for your wall uh to check out my second channel we'll be talking about it more in depth only because there's going to be a limited run and hopefully they'll sell out who knows i don't know but without further ado the first one here we got is honolulu i mean okay we're starting off easy right honolulu hawaii i can't remember the mnemonic for that one but i mean ah frankfort uh so there was a fort full of frank forter's i think uh with a can with like the hot dog being tucked in all right kentucky frankfurt i'm not making this up all right kentucky right there bam a heart ford all right so uh a heart had a cut in it and there was someone trying to forge that cut was connecting the cut you could say hartford connecticut maybe let's just put that one around a bam oh little rock there was a there was um noah looked out of his ark and saw a little rock pretty simple there right let's pick up little rock arkansas you can see what i'm doing here right there's no way i'm making this up you you believe me right because when we get tallahassee well oh this is one that's really hard to remember i knew it had to do this was like so long it was like a towel out at sea there was florida flowers it's florida tallahassee's florida some of these i'm not gonna be able to remember but i'm trying my best olympia the olympics happened to be washing a ton of i don't know olympia's uh washington okay a columbus uh one day christopher columbus was out uh sailing in a river and he looks he sees this little o floating there he goes oh hi oh ohio columbus sorry columbus ohio boise listen i just know there were boys involved there was someone with a hoe not that type of hoe idaho though it's boise idaho folks come on this is simple how are you guys doing well all right i hope you're doing well at home uh click on jackson uh this had to do with andrew jackson and i know it's jackson mississippi uh which of course is this one right here this one is not stuck in my head too much as a mnemonic we got salt lake city utah who likes book of mormon uh i mean yet again sadly i'm not helping a train okay there's a train with a ton of new jerseys on the way to the the shore down the shore as they say that's my home state trenton new jersey cheyenne why are you roaming why aren't you coming into the house to party with a cheyenne please please cheyenne wyoming bam uh bismarck now bismarck i know i had to do with bees they were buzzing all around i think they were cold they were wearing coats bismarck north dakota uh this one's a bit yeah that was it that was it okay that was a bit weird in my head washington dc i don't think we had to memorize this one because it's not a state capital it's not real but it's right there uh saint paul this one's weird but i remember a poll with a halo saint paul yeah and he was at a bar serving these little mini sodas st paul minnesota uh let's just click that oh gosh okay colombia um colombia is going to trip me up i think uh this one's hard to remember i think it might be south carolina but i think i've completely forgotten the mnemonic and i'm looking at all the other states and i'm like uh colombia i feel like it's south carolina thank god thank god thank god all right uh madison oh there's this one has the word khan in it there's a there's a convict and he's mad at the sun uh is he burned at some point uh he's got like a sunburn is it have we done connecticut hartford connecticut all right madison oh god oh there's there's one of these states has a con in it right i just have to go through uh madison he's mad at the sun wisconsin because the oh the convict was sinning of course with madison wisconsin yes okay all right atlanta atlanta of course is georgia my mom's from georgia so like i feel like i just knew that one i don't remember any type of there's a gorge maybe i can't remember anyway atlanta georgia salem uh i don't know why they put the witch trials in there which would make you think it's new england when it's most definitely salem oregon i think i think there was some type of musical organ but i honestly can't remember baton rouge louisiana uh there was definitely a baseball game involved with a girl named no the louis slugger louis slugger which is the name of a baseball bat brand uh baton rouge uh louisiana i don't even know how rouge got involved montpellier okay so this one this one um i remembered it because mont also had monts so it's like even though there's other ones it was like montpellier was vermont you know now which one of these is vermont which one's new hampshire i believe uh it's just in alphabetical order so m for my you know if this one i was actually not alphabetical i just felt that one all right montgomery is one of my favorite ones all right so there's a guy named al and he he's climbing up a mountain he's got some gum on his shoe it's pretty frustrating uh and right as he's climbing up he then hears a really loud bam gosh he gets scared so he turns around books it he runs he hurries down the mountain mount gum okay we got des moines now des moines i i hate this one it's not because it's difficult it's iowa i don't remember the mnemonic i just know it just sounds gross des moines iowa no no a phoenix uh my housemate this one had to do with like a ticket with with like nicks in it uh i obviously just went to arizona there was like a oh it's an arid zone in the desert where you get tickets that have knicks in them phoenix arizona providence there's a professor just imagine a giant professor right and he's riding on an island and his spurs are putting dents into the island providence rhode island the smallest state bam richmond okay richmond i'm fairly certain is virginia it just feels like that type of thing um i don't know how what the mnemonic was but i know it definitely didn't involve a virgin you know i don't remember it but we're gonna go with virginia here uh correct juno hey do you know what the capital of that state is i don't know alaska juno alaska bam uh topeka so this one involved a can and there was a tow peeking out like just so you know this is a bit more difficult for me because the way that i learned it was i was told the state and i had to guess the capital working backwards it's a bit more difficult but like i said topeka kansas which of course is right here are you guys i hope this is impressive is this going to get me like ladies should i put it to my hinge bio a dover this is just a diver who's diving into the what a delaware her name is della what did delaware when she was diving well she dove in dova delaware next to the new jersey tri-state area at one point there were two cows together they were in like uh i don't know if you guys know the term but it's a yolk and there was a new yolk you can see where i'm going with this but sadly the cows were all bonnie they're all all boney they're albany new york all right shazam harrisburg this is again one of my favorites so one day i was looking out the window sill sorry i was looking out the uh window vein uh i put one of my favorite pens all right i've got got this little that's not i got a fountain pen okay promise i got a fountain pen i put it on the window sill looked out the vein and oh my god is that a hairy iceberg harrisburg pen sil vayne yeah springfield there was uh what's annoying about springs being in fields is that sometimes they just keep going and they're just loud you know i'm so ill of the noise caused by these springs a springfield illinois 60652 boston boston mass 02134 send it to zoom i honestly don't remember that one i just know it's boston mass augusta um this one's pretty simple it's just the image of a horse and a gust of wind is blowing past its beautiful main easy pie august domain carson city okay so at one point the actual sun he's driving in a car and he's really thirsty and he stops by a gas station and he's like hey man you know i can get some water and the guy this in the city gas station he's like i'm sorry there's novada carr sun city nevada okay that makes sense right you're remembering this please take notes thank you indianapolis it's just the capital of uh indiana i mean it's nothing really difficult there just put paulus at the end it's similar to the maryland one a sacramento a lot of people think that like california is difficult for a lot of people capital-wise i did just say it's california this one also involved a tow and a sack on the toe that's all i can really come up with oklahoma city doesn't take a brain surgeon it's oklahoma uh jefferson city uh this is i believe it involved the old president uh jefferson it was missouri which is right here of course we all knew this santa fe now santa was delivering some gifts to the kids in the desert um and that's all i really got for you because i know it's new mexico i don't think he sent them any extra presents but charleston charleston choose where do they come from north carolina i swear the carolinas were the ones that always tripped me up the most but at least i still have it somehow after all this time oh god i don't oh no the hundred percent was taken from me i got to cocky okay charleston uh this has got to be something like west virginia yeah okay so at this point we're at 98 please this is this is ruined my hinge bio jesus uh helena uh this one has to do with montana because that's what it is mont there's a girl named hannah hell nope can't remember no raleigh all right so now we're going back to north carolina a place where i am cancelled from

south dakota lansing what's singing it's the land the land is singing michigan i honestly can't remember why but it was doing it all right i was there i witnessed it austin texas i'm just giving up on the demonic we have nashville uh that's just tennessee yet again uh no mnemonics for me lincoln oh so for this one the president uh lincoln the 16th president he happened to be going to an auction and there he sees this like really strange-looking statue of a cow and he's like that's a no-brass cow of course because he's lincoln nebraska where's nebraska there he is uh concord another con so this
