Very cool watch. What's the joke? The reason the UP exists is because Wisconsin is a bunch of pussies?

Three syllables or four?
It’s three. An-tee-tum.

I mean, that’s how I’ve always pronounced it, and it’s how the park rangers out in Western MD pronounced it too.

Phew.

The guy in the video used four syllables - An-Tee-AY-Tum

I haven't watched it yet, but is it an AI voice like you hear on some reels? Because I saw one the other day that referenced Nacogdoches, TX (home of Duke killer SFA!) in the funniest way I've ever heard.

The only acceptable reference to Nacogdoches is home of Clint Dempsey. “Do you know where I’m from, dog?”


One of my alltime favorite EPL moments, and I always think about it when Dempsey and Richards are at the desk together. Then then they did this. I know people hate the CBS/Paramount studio team, but it fills my YouTube algorithm with some great clips.

No, that was the only thing that stood out as being really weird. It's An-tee-tam. I didn't even rewind to figure out what he was trying to do, but it was weird.

I listen to a fair amount of AI voiceovers at this point and have learned to get past it. But, no, this is a real dude. He pops on camera during transitions and stuff.

This guy sucks. Not only for his piss-poor pronunciation of Antietam, but because he excluded the true #1 weird state border: the Delaware pimple on New Jersey’s ass.

I grew up maybe 15 miles from said pimple, and even I never knew about it until a few years ago from a SwampCrash.

Of course, that’s probably how I know it. It bamboozles kids.
