What's up, everyone? I'm here with Hari Kondabolu, comedian you may know who joined us on Subway Takes a couple of months ago, maybe a couple weeks ago, whose take was very, very, very, very, very, very popular. I call it a triple-decker, which means it hit over a million on Instagram, on TikTok, and on YouTube Shorts. That rarely happens. I'd say it happens once every...
hundred episodes we get a triple decker so he's he's a very very limited club of people his take his take was that there are too many states in america we need to get we need to cut 10 what the hell is up harry how are you i'm good man is that right i'm a triple decker you're a triple decker it never ever literally i i think you're probably one in three total so what's your take too many states in america we need to cut 10 oh
100% agree. All right, we start out with Dakota. We don't need two Dakotas. South and North Dakota are one Dakota now. And still, that's me being nice.
Okay.
That's still barely a state, but fine. One Carolina.
One Virginia. Okay.
Three gone right there. Number four, Rhode Island. It's a vestigial organ off of Massachusetts. You're going to cut it off? It has to go back to Massachusetts. Oh, it's being absorbed. Yep. Alabama, Mississippi, one state.
You can't combine those two. Why not? Because they're two distinct places. Since what? I'm afraid to go to either of them. Bill Clinton's from Alabama. No, he's from Arkansas. Same thing. So we've taken out five. Five. Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, one state. Okay, that's six.
Vermont, New Hampshire, one state. I don't know why they're two states. It's one piece of land. We're not in a Hispaniola situation. Okay, one state. Washington and Oregon, one state. Okay, one state. Okay, this gets a little tricky now. We sell Alaska to Canada. in exchange for British Columbia, which expands the Northwest, right? And then we get a little bit of Ontario that has Toronto in it.
