Special thanks to Education in Ireland. I REALLY hope some of you will check out their totally free Postgraduate Virtual Fair at: educationinireland.us/fairs/postgraduate/
There you will get the opportunity to speak privately with top Irish Universities to help you find the course of your dreams.
you look so much like my irish family ...makes me wonder some times tho. sorry.
i live in america since the potato thingy happened.
This is so cool!
I studied a broad in school until she slapped me. HAHAHA
The relatively peaceful life of Washington, the Evergreen State, is sometimes interrupted by the eruption of "VOLCANOES"! There are 5 volcanoes within in the Cascade mountain range in Washington; Mount Saint Helens, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Mount Baker, and the worst offender, Glacier Peak.
As a Minnesotan, frostbite is kind of like quicksand, I grew up thinking it was going to be way more an issue than it actually is. We do a good job with infrastructure up here to handle the cold. In my City you can get around the entire downtown in walking subways and skyways, you never have to go outside. You can get from your hotel to lunch, to the hospital, and shopping without ever going outside.
I love those skyways. 💗
Fun fact: the place in the world where the weather is most similar to Minnesota is Siberia. Soooo...go us, I guess?
Wind chill is a bigger problem then the actual air temp which usually stays in the negitive teens or twenties
Except on Januray 1st (the day my German friend and I were.banking. on it!)
Geez, lots of us Minnesotans here! I'm a St. Paul dude.
LEED stands for "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design". It's the most widely used "green building" rating system in the world.
Yeah, I had to take college class on that.
Yup, that'd be Iowa...
Waste of tax money is what it should stand for.
Iowa also produces the highest percentage of its electricity by wind power of any state. (Over half and rising.)
My office has has a LEED logo but it’s also partly a huge parking garage. How is encouraging people to drive to work environmental?
"Alabama has the least amount of people walking to work"
As one of the worst things, I mean, try walking to work in Alabama and see whether or not you still consider that to be a bad thing 😅
I couldn't imagine walking to work when its 90 degrees and 90% humidity. Which unfortunately in the South is what the weather is 10 months out of the year. It feels like you are in a steam bath and after 5 min of being outside, you're basically soaking wet.
I’ve lived in Alabama my entire 26 years on this earth, & 365 days a year it’s 50000% percent humidity
And if you don't live in any of the big four cities, walking to work could take a couple hours each way.
@@andyjg13 Especially if you live where I do and it's nothing but hills everywhere.
@@Dante1920 I used to visit my grandparents when they lived in Bessemer, AL (years ago.) The hills there give San Francisco a run for the money. Walking anywhere in Bessemer? Yeah, right.
As a Kansan I must protest. We produce so much wheat and sorghum because of the large amount of flat land. But anybody that can look upon a field of wheat or sunflowers swaying in the wind like a pool of gold and say it is ugly needs to be forced to use 28k dial up internet for the rest of their lives.
I love the smell of a wheat field ready to harvest. Much better than a dairy farm! We have both in Washington. We are not flat, we have towering mountains that sometimes explode.
Few states like Kansas can say they are mention in the beloved song "America, the Beautiful." "Amber waves of grain" can only be Kansas.
Kansas's biggest problem are the declining small towns and the abandoned oil derricks/pumps.
👏🏽
@@jackmessick2869 You mean those Eiffel Towers of the boom or bust era?! They’ll be protected landmarks one day. 😳
Farms look incredibly pretty! The smell, on the other hand, not always the best (depending on what they grow).
I mean if I had to pick a state to be homeless in I would voluntarily choose Hawaii.
😂
Hawaiians are convinced that other states give one way plane tickets to people they want out.
Guess ones in Hawaii need more islands to put the new ones in...lol
Homelessness is viewed differently in Hawaiian culture. It doesn't have such a negative stigma, and people are far more generous - directly, not through organizations - in helping them.
I'd definitely steer clear of living near Kilauea, I wouldn't want to end up like the people in Pompeii.
Don't worry Diane, winter temperatures in Minnesota sometimes get to a balmy -20°F. 😂
..."We're havin' a heatwave, a tropical heatwave." Grumpy Old Men movie fan here.
I live in Houston and I like to joke that the four seasons here are:
Almost Summer
Definitely Summer
Still Summer
and
Christmas Day
@@davidbennett1357 Reminds me of an old joke about English summers: We spent the summer in England once; it fell on a Tuesday that year.
I grew up in Minnesota with the saying, our seasons are: winter, winter, winter, and construction.
Can confirm, college tuition here in Vermont is RIDICULOUSLY expensive... Even our state colleges are bonkers expensive, which is part of why I didn't continue onto my Masters... But maybe with this "study abroad in Ireland" thing I can!
If you were the one, that would be AMAZING
Go for it! An MFA would open up so many new doors for you.
@@chipparmley Doors at McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, etc. Would you like to supersize that order?
I was a student at UVM 30 years ago (best years of my life). As I recall, it was known then for being the state university which received the lowest percentage of its funding from its state government. It might have had the highest tuition. In my 4 years the tuition increased $1000 each year, from $14,000 to $18,000. Those numbers were high at the time, but one generation later would be quite the bargain.
I would also love to study abroad in Ireland for my Masters, but feel like I am getting too old for that.
Lots of duck hunters in Arkansas is the reason why there’s so many dogs. Atlanta is the only city in the U.S. where bumper to bumper traffic at 2:00 am is a normal thing.
Funny you mentioned that. About 20 years ago I worked for a computer software company and Alpharetta was one of our clients. I couldn't figure out why there was bumper-to-bumper traffic when I drove in and out at the end of the day (but only going my direction). About the third day, I asked and they explained why that was happenign.
@@almostfm It’s gotten twice as bad in the last 20 years. Atlanta traffic is like Las Vegas, it never sleeps.
I KNEW hunting was going to explain that! (I actually thought raccoons, not ducks, though)
One benefit of growing up in the Atlanta area is traffic elsewhere doesn't look that bad.
There’s a lot more positive things than negative ones in each state. You have to take the good with the bad and make the most of it. Have a nice weekend!! ❤️U☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸
I think America has some of the best people in the world
@@DianeJennings Yes, and you would fit right in!
Chewy is the cutest that is for sure, great job Diane
I agree with Washington’s stats. We count our snails on our walks every morning! 🤣 most days we get to 100 and we stop 🐌. Cause there’s just sooo many!
And maybe as few as 20 years ago, we never saw snails in Washington. But maybe that's just my family/friend group? And that's in western Washington.
@@briantorgerson7241 that’s just yours then. I’ve lived here all my 42 years, and remember them very clearly as a child growing up in Ballard. Haven’t ever lived in eastern Washington, only king and snohomish county.
Arizona: you get used to it. Also, there are parts of the state that are up in the mountains and are quite cool and beautiful.
I used to live in Arizona for over twenty years, by the way.
Not surprised Iowa has the lowest divorce rate. People here tend to marry just once. Surprised they didn't mention all the agricultural things they rank first in: corn, pork, eggs, honey, ice cream, etc.
Can also confirm, having lived in Arkansas, that dogs rule there. Shelter adoption drives are always successful in that state...Chewie would make a LOT of friends there.
Glad you didn't get the first letters of corn and pork mixed... some typo that would have been!
@@tonys1636 No kidding!! 🤣🤣🤣
Iowa also ranks first in puppy mills...
As a life-long Iowan, ranking first in pork really isn't something to be proud of...
@@timnewman1172 We get it. You just don't like Iowa or Iowans. There are 49 other states. Pick the heavily populated, kale-loving state of your choice. 🤷♂️
There she is. I love all the extra content, and longer videos. I just hope it doesn’t delay your Book, Cooking with Diane

@@DianeJennings don't forget to plan for the sequel. Cooking during the apocalypse with Diane.

Trinity college has a beautiful campus and it's right across the street from a Butler's chocolate shop
That’s the main reason I chose it 😳
About setting a world record: I have the 1964 edition of The Guinness Book of World Records, and what I find interesting about that early edition is that it was published before people did weird things just to get into the book. For instance, the face slapping record was 30 hours by two guys in Kiev in 1931, for some reason other than to get their names into the record book.
I seriously considered studying abroad when I was an undergrad. I hope this event goes very well, it sounds like a great opportunity!
You could easily be in the Guinness Book of Records, Diane...as one of the most caring and authentic people in the world.
Aww I wish I was. I’m a regular flawed individual though. I try my best
@@DianeJennings You shouldn't sell yourself short Diane. You are one of the most positive people on TH-cam. You have flaws, maybe so, but don't we all?
Yeah, Diane...you have such a kind spirit and amazing smile and laugh...thanks :)
Oklahoma here: Our casinos are owned by the sovereign tribal governments. They use a lot of the income to provide education, health care and other important services to their tribal citizens.
Damn. Now that's effective governance right there. If only the state or even federal government were half as competent 😕
@@krishpatel3156 also in some states gambling is illegal but there are casinos there because states can’t regulate tribal activity on their reservations so tribes built casinos in order to get money and develop and then used some of the money to diversify their revenue sources.
@@kittycatgaminghayley6210 I'm aware.
Fun Fact: The world largest casino is in one of these reservations in Missouri.
@@krishpatel3156 the largest one used to be Foxwoods which is on the Mashuntucket Pequot Tribal nation which is in my hometown in Ledyard, Connecticut. Mohegan Sun casino is nearby and run by the Mohegan tribe. I have friends who are from these tribes and I’m happy for them.
@@krishpatel3156 The worlds largest is Winstar in Oklahoma with almost 550,000 square feet. Followed by a few in China then to one in Connecticut. The Winstar takes 20-30 minutes (depending on how crowded) to walk from one side to the other. It's a monster of one big huge room that just has a few curves in it. Looks like one really big twisting hallway and very easy to lose the people you came with in it. Which I think was the plan, "Can't find so and so, no worries, just throw a few more dollars away! They'll turn up eventually!"
As a Hoosier (living in Indiana), I would love to say that either of those facts surprised me but sadly it doesn't.
I live in Wisconsin and it's true, we have a lot of cheese. The Ellsworth Cheesecurds are the best btw.
What about cheesecake?
@@Ryan_Dye-r Yea we have that too but we're more famous for our regular cheese and our beer too. Wisconsin is known as the Dairy State and the Beer state.
@@paullangland6877
I
Well, there's a Cheesecake factory in the Milwaukee suburb Wauwatosa...so there is cheesecake in Wisconsin
@@BenjaminRoethig I don't doubt you but I live up in the Northwestern part of the state and the point is that yes we do have a lot of cheesecake but it's mostly the regular cheese that we're producing along with beer.
Alaska has changed a lot since the 1970's, which shows my age. My brother lived there in the 70's and people were not a bit violent and very trusting. To give you an example he would go hunting and in Alaska there are so many desolate wilderness areas, many places you had to go by small planes to get there, people would have their cabins set up with food and shelter for hunters, they never met, to go into when they were hunting in these places. My Brother eventually moved to Missouri and some years later went back to Alaska for a visit. He said there was so much change there now and the days of trust was now gone. He would never go back.
On top of that, from your video I see that it is violent there. Now that is really sad.
Thank you for your upload Diane
Alaska is these things by capita. In the seventies, with an increase in employment and money came those seeking it. Not necessarily all with good intentions. Also, if you are not used to the seasonal darkness, you will be introduced to "cabin fever" depression. You need to keep active. And as the money drops, so does the population. Coincidental? I think not. I just returned after having left for six years in Florida. So happy to be back in this beautiful state.
Enjoyed the video and learned quite a lot! As someone from Kansas, it is pretty boring scenery, but watching the sunrise or set over an open field can be beautiful. Thanks so much for promoting this Education in Ireland program! I have been trying to look into postgraduate study abroad on my own, but this will make things so much easier!
Boise, Idaho is actually a great city. I work for a company HQ'd there and get to go a couple times a year. Awesome downtown area, incredible outdoor activities. BUT...once you get outside of Boise...If you're even slightly left of center, it's a pretty far right paradise. Up in the Panhandle, it's like another world.
Utah here. I'm not surprised at the Church attendance. We also often have the worst air in the country. When Northern California burns, the smoke drifts east and gets trapped by our mountains, which happen to be just east of where 80% of the state lives. There's no where for the smoke to go, so we just breathe it. This year we had the worst air in the WORLD several times.
Californians continues it's tradition of running things for other states.
Wow, sorry to hear this. That's terrible.
Speaking as a California fire evacuee over several years now? Yeah, I question how bad you air is compared to what I have dealt with since 2017 at least. Sorry if we have inconvenienced ya! And I am severely asthmatic since I was 5 so, I'll trade any time ya want!
The 2020 Glass fires got within a mile of my home....I tend to think the air quality in my front yard trumped yours....Just saying...
@@randlebrowne2048 Wow, what an ignorant assho#e statement...And where are you from that's such a perfect Nirvana?
I’m from Oregon and was wondering what we’d be worst at… dodged a bullet on this one! 😂
As a native Oregonian I can attest to the fact it is a very nice place to live as long as you never go to Portland, avoid Eugene like everyone there is contagious with something and only go to Salem if you have to. You will most likely love Oregon.
@@VetteguyC6 nah, Portland and Eugene are great.... I'll agree about Salem, (my hometown). We call it So-lame for a reason
@@kharma7755 Portland would be nice, if it wasn't for the lack of cleanliness. I'm not mentioning the people, or politics. I have been there many times and the city just seems rusty. The trashcans were always overflowing with garbage. Graffiti everywhere, and good luck with the public restrooms. Also, the drinking water is sketchy. I always got the vibe that the people living there don't care about there city, and it makes since because many moved in from elsewhere. If they can invest a little bit more into cleanliness, and community pride, maby Portland can become the hippy utopia they advertise themselves as.
in an old james bond movie a villain was going to nuke kansas to prove he could nuke other states to, james bond said," nuke kanasa? no one would know about it for a decade,"

Diane discovers Real Life Lore yay!! You gotta check out some of his videos on outer space and the size of the observable universe!
Come to North Carolina, we also have the most efficient production of sweet potatoes. Really the best reason to come is the beautiful nature you can experience.
I second your recommendation for Diane to visit us in North Carolina. I grew up here in New Bern. Hiya fellow North Carolinian.
@@johnnabuzby6103 hello!!
OMG it Diane! Happy day! Always good to see you!
I’m Canadian so I don’t know many of these facts but I was surprised that Vegas didn’t have the largest casino!!!!
I live in DFW. The reason OK has the largest casino is because they are illegal in Texas and right across the state border is Winstar Casino. If you check the massive parking lot it's almost all Texans.
Vegas just has the largest *number* of casinos (which all compete with each other).
It's casinos next to casinos next to casinos on the strip or downtown.
Good choice Diane, Real life lore is a great channel
It looks great!
Next up: each county in Ireland is best at. 33 to 36 controversies, hopefully without troubles.
PS. Ireland is the SILICON Valley of Europe. Silicone Valley is a derogatory nickname for the San Fernando Valley in California, where many adult movies were filmed. Silicon is used for chip production. Silicone is used for cosmetic surgery.
I'm from Washington State. And I can confirm the snail 🐌 thing. They are everywhere. 😱😂😂🐌 Lucky they are easy to outrun. 😉
Not so sure GA has the best roads but I agree that traffic in Atlanta is a bitch.
Good ol' Spaghetti Junction.
I don't want to drive in Atlanta ever again! We had several Near Death Experiences when we went to Lego Land with 2 small boys in the back seat. The GPS lady had us in the wrong lane several times. I still don't know why we had to detour going to the Fox Theater. Add an extra hour onto ever trip to make sure you have enough time!!!
Fun Fact: In Pennsylvania, you can go from Blue Ball to Intercourse to Paradise in 20 minutes.
Didn't she make that trip!? 😅
@@LindaC616 She certainly didn't make a video to be watched in Arkansas about it.
@@jwrockets ???? We're talking about PA here...???
Ah yes, we have such lovely names for our towns.
There are two ways to get to Paradise. You can go through Intercourse or Bird In Hand but, if you turn too soon you end up in Blue Ball.
And yes the highways are littered with deer carcasses.
Great video. Ms. Jennings!
Interesting stats. Great video
Friday + upload day = an awesome birthday 🥳.
HAPPAY BIRTHDAY BUDDY!!!
Happy Birthday to ya!

I live in Wyoming. Some things they didn't mention are that we have the largest raw wilderness, lot's of wildlife, energy independence and best cost of living in the US. In fact i would say the the Wyoming attitude is the closest in America to that of Ireland. Tho we do seem to be stuck in the 1930s.
Depends on what part of Wyoming. For instance, I live in a town that operates on a boom economy. We go through long periods of high unemployment and long periods of explosive growth. Conversely, there are other towns that seem like they jumped right out of a spaghetti western.
Grew up in Glenrock, I'm pretty sure we were a two step from a Clint Eastwood western parody. Casper seemed...odd back then, its been a boomtown since I left in '02, Cheyenne was always fairly decent.
I've watched every one of your videos. They just keep getting better and better. Also, I have the biggest crush on your editor...
Hi Diane! Awesome content!! Stay awesome have a great weekend and like you say “stay weird” and FYI editor Diane, nerds are awesome…🙄..Arizona is extremely hot in the summer, but can rain a lot during the monsoon
Can't comment about every state so I'll just pick 3. Alaska has almost nothing going on, low population and high land area, so people have too much time on their hands and gets into trouble. Kansas is flat, you can stand in the middle and look in every direction and it looks exactly the same, there is no difference in the scenery anywhere. With Hawaii being an island, there is no place to go and difficult to get anything there.
Alaska is virtually as much an island as Hawaii since most things from the Outside come by ship or air rather than by truck thru Canada.
@A Neophyte In regards to Kansas, I used to say that it was so flat, you could watch your dog run away for 3 days! 😉
@@SpearM3064 😂🤣
I'll have you know that eastern Kansas has the Flint Hills. Of course, they're still pretty flat for hills because there's too much flint for trees to grow, but you'd lose sight of your dog after an hour on that side!
@@pondboy3682 I've actually driven through Kansas a time or two (too many to count) and agree. My impression while I was driving was that KS was like driving on a long, straight, roller-coaster. One time I was following my friend to the border, and felt absolute panic when I lost her while in a dip, and she had gone over the next hill. Silly, I know 😁... but KS isn't quite flat. Most recently live in eastern MT, and the argument for there is similar, very flat. However, you'll be driving along and suddenly there will be a gorge that a bridge has been built over. These gorges are water collectors, and funnel water to the nearest river. They come in different styles, and are often filled with trees that the Plains do not have.
Going to get to your beautiful country one day. I am Scottish, Irish and Swiss- German. America would not be America today had not so many Irish immigrated to this country. We are a better place because of the Irish. Keep up the great work with your videos. You (the person) are as real as it gets on TH-cam.
Aww thanks! 🥰
Happy Friday! I really love and enjoy this video. Have a safe Halloween 🎃👻. Have a very safe weekend.
Studying abroad would be fantastic. And being as myself having Irish roots ( Scott, Polish, French), I would love the opportunity to see Ireland. And please continue to make these videos. I love watching your reaction to these comments about! May I say, your beautiful inside and out! Lovely smile! 😉👍
This was totally accurate for my home state, Georgia. I feel vindicated - I’m always telling people we have the worst traffic. It takes over an hour on average for commuters to get to their jobs. But more happily, I think we can all agree that Chewie is indeed the cutest dog on the internet. 🐶✌️❤️
I have a long commute but it is way outside of 285.
@@chipparmley Me too, Chip. No commute anymore though. Unless you count the 20 steps from the bedroom to the office. 😁
I’m so glad we agree!! 🥰
I live about two hours from ATL, but traffic still sucks on I-85. The never-ending construction makes my commute exponentially longer, too
@@MaryBeth205 I feel for you, Mary Beth! I think I-85 may be the worst in the city. Along with 400 I think. I live on the other side of town and it’s almost as bad. I actively avoid going to concerts on that side of town because it’s so bad, which is a shame since they have some great shows in Duluth usually.
Love ya Diane, anyway I would love you to make a video of you cooking a full traditional Irish Meal from scratch while drunk. Additionally I live in Minnesota and love our harsh Winters.
I did Irish breakfast drunk! It’s on the cooking playlist
@@DianeJennings I know but I mean a full dinner:)
@@morrigankasa570 Considering how much Diane hates to cook, that's kind of a big ask, but it would be hilarious to watch!
@@johnnabuzby6103 true, though some of my favorite videos of hers are her drunk cooking:)
@@morrigankasa570 You're getting no argument from me about them being some of her funniest videos. I especially love the one where she tries cooking Thanksgiving dinner in America. That was priceless.
Love the video.
Very cool , interesting video !
As an Ohioan I was intrigued to see what we had and the allergy thing is hitting me hard right now.
I massively emphasize
Ohio is the only state that I have lived in for any length of time, other than Pennsylvania, and my allergies were a mess in Ohio (not much better in Southwestern PA, where I tested allergic to 30 of 38 environmental allergens).
I witnessed a ship wreck, yesterday. It’s still sinking in
@RealLifeLore is a great channel, lots of interesting content
Much Love Diane.
I can confirm Ohio has the “safest” but meanest weather. Allergies are horrible stuff can be cheap though.
Some great culture and architecture too.
@@Caseytify yeah. And then the rual parts of the state are gorgeous.
There is a good bit of history here as well. For instance, Dayton, OH is the literal birthplace of aviation because one half of the Wright Brothers were born here, and where they came up with their designs for their flyers in the back room of their bicycle shop (which still stands). The area where Ohio sits was highly contested by the British and French during the Seven Years War due to its fertile land for farming and tons of natural waterways for trade. Many entertainment celebrities hailed from this state as well, such as Martin Sheen and Dean Martin.
@@meltedplasticarmyguy yeah. And a lot of people will discount Ohio as a bad or unimportant state.
Fellow Ohioan and allergy sufferer checking in, lol
Well if the worst thing he could think of about Missouri was the poisoning of Times beach in the 80s, we must be doing pretty good. After the clean up it became a very nice addition to our state parks.
There are plenty of things Mizzura sucks at...
Sooooo...pretty much every video begins that way. It's wonderful. As a Texan, please know your videos are great. If you ever come to visit, please know you are quite welcome.
Growing up in Minnesota, I can attest to the winter low temps getting down to -50f. But they failed to mention the wind-chill getting down to -90f.
I'm not the least bit surprised that my home state, West Virginia, leads the nation in opioid abuse. I AM surprised that West Virginia was so low on the list when it comes to alcohol consumption. Then, again, I moved from there to Ohio about a year ago.
It's funny as hell. My little community has three stores that sell alcohol. I make my own, so I barely buy it.
IT seems like anyone here that you ask knows at least one person that has died from overdose and several others currently addicted.
Great list! I didn’t know half of these but as a Tennessee resident the low # of dentists doesn’t surprise me 😂
😱 🦷
I have travelled through Wyoming many times since I live in Colorado and one of the things entertaining to see is how Wyoming tends to have VERY high winds, and trucks hauling manufactured homes often see the home they're moving blow away. I don't think there was even one time I was driving to a friend at their trade school where I did not see a trailer home upside down in a field or at least a trailer.
Love the channel!
I'm from Southern Illinois (we are proud to not count our selves with Chicago). I believe we also have the highest number of governors to be sentenced to prison time, all of whom were from Chicago. Also St. Louis is the closest large city at about 120 miles (from the town I live in) compared to over 320 miles to Chicago.
So does your local sports stations cover the Cubs and the Blackhawks, or the Cardinals and the Blues? I've done the drive from CHI to STL and back to see the Cardinals, but don't really know where the line is. Also, boy we saw a lot of corn on that road trip.
Southern Illinois is the best part of Illinois. Shawnee National Forest is beautiful.
State of Illinois is so different than Chicago. Same way in New York with NYC lol.
@@StefanWB it tends to be Cardinals and Blues. There are Cubs and Blackhawks fans, but they are often people that came from Chicago. Yeah, lots of corn north of 64, if you keep going south and get to Hwy 13 you see quite a few orchards and vineyards and the terrain gets very forested and hilly since we are technically part of the Ozarks.
That's true. People outside of Illinois often associate the entire state with Chicago. Southern Illinois would probably rather be its own state or be part of Missouri or Kentucky - not that I'd necessarily blame them. The crooked Chicago governors tend to come from nearby suburbs because they would never live in the city.
Wow! Great timing...was just logging in to YT to see if you had posted yet! My weekend is kicking off well, now if it would just stop raining :) Have a lovely weekend Diane, hope the sun is still shining and warm in Spain (not so much in Annapolis, MD). Salut, sláinte, cheers! 🍻
Great video.
I drove through Kansas once and it was *eerie*. High brown grass fields on both sides of the road with hardly a tree to spice things up. The natural equivalent of looking at a beige wall.
Surprised Wisconsin wasn't the drunkest state, they usually win that.
I lived in Stoughton for three years a while back.....a town of about 12,000 back then, 17 bars in 4 city blocks, filled to capacity every single night of the week.....
Native Cheesehead here. There is a bar in my native Milwaukee called Drink Wisconsibly. :-). The baseball team is the Milwaukee Brewers. It used to be the case that there were more bars than grocery stores in WI.

Snails diane and they are bad, I remember them everywhere when I stayed up there with my sister. I thought that it was great that the guy couldn't find anything bad that happened in my lovely Oregon
Thanks!
Aww thanks Jim!
This checks out for me. I live in PA, and I can grow mushrooms in my garden even if I don't water it. If it so much as rains for an hour or two, I have to pull up mushrooms. Plus, I know for a fact we grow 68% of edible mushrooms in the US. A lot of Italians who immigrated here started mushroom farms in Chester County.
Proud to be a Canadian with Scottish and Irish heritage :)
NYS taxes and winters are why I live elsewhere as an Ex-Patriot retiree on a military pension.
As a new yorker we do have gorgeous falls
@@mariosnyd if you mean Niagara Falls, then the Canadian side is much better, then the American side, seriously the casino is responsible for most of the blight on the city and the roads are horrible! But as for the scenery yes I love the country and land of New York but I hate what they have done to it.
@@Irish381 yes NYC should be its own state
Soooo today the best and the worse vid!!!! Happy Friday Queen Diane☘ love the nerd alert by Editor Diane💗 🤣🤣🤣 stay unique, hugs !!!!
My father was in the Navy and because of that I lived in 5 different states. I also attended 8 different schools 1st grade through 12th grade because of all the moves we made. I really enjoyed every where we lived. Hawaii was nice but small. I also spent time in the Army and added to the states I lived in. I also lived in Italy while in the Army. But I settled down in the eastern part of Tennessee. I have to say I love this area.
Here in Minnesota, we consider our brutal weather to be a feature, not a bug.
And of course West Virginia has the lowest income inequality: nobody has any money.
As Keillor said, "It builds character. You learn to avoid self-pity"
See, Diane, since here in Vermont we rank #1 in terms of pay equity between males and females obviously if you decided to work from a home base in the US for a while it’s the natural place to work from! Although you might want to learn to drive first, Vermont is exactly great on that whole public transportation thing.
You would need a car there for sure!!
You are so cute ! And you make my day !!! Keep posting . . I learn a lot from you .
Haha... the entry about Oregon has definately changed since 2018! 😂🤣😅😆
Makes me proud to be a born and raised Oregonian. If you want to see another side to American culture that you really don't see anywhere else visit the Pacific Northwest!
having lived in multiple states, (I grew up as an Army brat), I can firmly state that Oregon is the absolute best one... I LOVE it here
Quack! Quack!
@@RHCole Haha I didn't say those things are what makes Oregon unique.
I was raised in Oregon from a baby so, while I'm not officially a member of SNOB, I'm durned close.
And while I live this state, every state will have people that say their state or area is the best and I'm fine with that. I'll put Oregon up against any state because it really is the best.
@@RHCole who mentioned anything about that??
Arkansas's stats are connected, surely! I assume many people suddenly realize one day, "Wait, why do I need a partner when I've got a dog?" 😂 (Obligatory shout out to Chewy!)
It’s actually really weird here in Arkansas to have friends with parents that are still together. Just seems off if someone’s parents aren’t divorced 😂
Great video. Have a wonderful weekend and have a Happy Halloween. X
I live in Southern AZ and it feels like we get 400 days of sunshine a year. It's hot. The high for today was 110F (43C). Our winters are very nice, though.
Texas, Texas!!! Heaven on Earth and the home of great mothers that can cook!
Great channel, brings a smile to me during a long work day. Happy Halloween and keep up the great work you and Chewie do.
Hi Diane. I'm from California and I can relate to the state having problems with air pollution, not to mention rising costs of living, higher taxes, homelessness and screwed up politics. It's no wonder why a lot of my friends are moving out of state and either living in the South or Eastern part of the U.S. Have a safe weekend Diane. 🧡🎃
As a Pennsylvanian, it checks out. We're basically one giant forest - hence the deer. We also have a town where mushrooms are their "thing"... apparently, they're the "mushroom capital of the world", and half the mushrooms grown in the US are from there.
YAY Oregon!! Fun video!!
Wow, I've lived in the US all my life and there were some big surprises in this one. High violent crime in Alaska? Seriously? Surely they must be including bears and wolves in that count! And Florida flat? Flatter than Kansas? Geez, some midwestern states are like table-tops! And by the way, that Education in Ireland thing sounded awfully good, if only I were younger again...
I saw an Alaska documentary. There is lots of alcohol and drug use. That, combined with the weather, makes people volatile. We have a few hot heads in Alabama too, because of alcohol and extreme heat.
Yes about the high violent crime in Alaska...especially violence against women...that ain't no bear! And with Florida, the entire state isn't that high above sea level, so and not a whole lot of change in elevation across the state.
Do you know how often Trinity College is Jeopardy Answer? ( I have a theory a viewer of DJ is one of the question makers )
That’d be cool!
The San Joaquin Valley where I live (Fresno) is a huge bowl where pollution gathers. The smoke from the fires this last summer was so bad you just didn't want to go outside. California does have a lot of smog.
I was stationed at Castle AFB in the 80s, I don't remember pollution that much (no fires while I was there) But I do remember the smell of garlic and onions! (aroma from Manteca) Also remember thick fog!
We are going to hold you to your word . Canada is waiting to find out what we are worse at. We know what we are best at, producing hockey and curling players.♥️🇨🇦✌
You guys need to tell her, province by province. What are the Poutinelands good at? Worst at? Etc
Kudos bur really who cares about curling or hockey, . maple syrup is the best. never eat pancakes or johnny cakes without it. of course have maple in US also
@@richardmead5969 they're the greatest at being polite and gracious
There was a time when I would have jumped at studying overseas. Statistics can be misleading. If one very empty state has a bad day at the factory and 4 people are hurt that is worse than a populated state that saw 400 people get hurt. The roads in Georgia are not bad, and I just never drive in Atlanta during rush hour. I no longer have to do that. 😁 Thanks Diane 😁 Have a great weekend, and I am looking forward to the live stream.
🤫
Well, a great deal of it's probably Atlanta, there, they probably looked up statistics for the most people delayed by how much or something, so I can buy that, especially cause people coming *from* that commuting mess also tend to pile up when they finally get back to smaller towns. (Also a lot of college towns draw *big* crowds in the state cause college football is so big. :) )
Atlanta really is massive.
I live in Georgia and I used to have to commute through that horrific traffic. That section where several highways meet is known as spaghetti junction and it is awful!
Wisconsin (Milwaukee) has the largest Irish culture festival outside of Ireland.
Fairly accurate for CA, NJ, NM. I vote to make Diane MOST IMPORTANT INTERNET PERSONALITY IN THE WORLD for the Guiness Book of World Record. Chewey get cutest sidekick in the world.
"LEED" is some sort of environmental standard for architecture. I also, still, have no idea what that means either.
If I remember correctly from my Environmental Studies class, it stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design. LEED certified buildings are designed to reduce the environmental impact by using sustainable products like solar panels, hemp-crete, water reclamation, etc.
Kansas has a beauty all its own. Come here in late May/ early June and you will beautiful yellow and green fields and skies of deep dark blue. Plenty of CLEAR night skies as well. You can see all the way to heaven.
I can confirm that Rhode Island has the worst roads. Driving home from visiting family in New Jersey (best tasting corn and tomatoes) we knew we had finally reached RI when we hit our first pothole on the road.
We cheered! Home!
(This was in the early 1960s, so little has changed.)
The tiniest state in the Union, RI did not need to declare Independence from England, as we were independent already by land grant.
Lil' Rhody also has the longest name: Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
It's an absolutely beautiful state. It has the grandest mansions, all in a row called " Summer Cottages", in Newport.
The clam cakes are the best in New England.
I'm in NJ with family in RI.
After slogging through Connecticut, I'm always thrilled to see the "Welcome to Rhode Island" sign.
My first act as emperor of the universe will be to put an expressway (with no interchanges) from Greenwich all the way to Westerly so we can just completely skip over that traffic nightmare state.
@@wildbillnj1975
Why not go for the whole shebang; let's skip NY as well!
I remember the tolls, the NY traffic and the signs that changed from green to blue.(early 60s)
My favorite part of that long drive was going over the Tappanzee Bridge.
We were told that if we touched the car window, at the exact center of the bridge, we would get an electric shock.
I suspect this was a way to temporarily quell our constant whining,
"Are we there yet?"
Fun to hear the best/worst for each State. Oh, may not show up in stats, but Oregon is definitely known to be worse at one thing. BOOP
What’s that?!
@@DianeJennings if you are not born there, you are not welcome there.
I wasn’t born here, but I’ve been very welcomed. I haven’t felt that at all… actually, most of the people I know that live here are transplants. Not that I represent the entire state population, lol, but just my perspective. Maybe there was backlash because of the cost of living skyrocketing around here
@@alu.minium521 I've lived in Oregon for 35 years and I've not found that to be remotely true... Oregonians are very welcoming, though we do often joke about wishing that Californians wouldn't move here, because of housing prices skyrocketing... In reality, we welcome all
Diane, you hold the Guinness World Record for youtuber with the sharpest wit and cutest dog. What other record could you possibly want? And yay for West Virginia, with one "best" and three "worsts". :)
😂🥰
Most radiant teeth.
Hello from boring Delaware! Fortunately the sucky nightlife makes it very easy to view Dianne’s videos on a Friday night!
As for leed, our cities tend to update their 100 year old buildings So there's not a lot of new construction. There's been an uptick since the Great Cedar Rapids flood and the Iowa city building boom though.
Having family from West Virginia and a freaking town named for my grandmothers family it’s also the number 1 state for cousins getting married. (Based of my own families genealogy)
Thinking of moving there, what town?
Do you often hear banjos?🤪
@@SuperDrLisa It’s a little tiny place in Braxton County. Last I heard it had a post office, Elementary school, and 1 local Restaurant. There is no downtown area and no stop lights.
Truth. I have roots here stretching back 300 years. It's one of my worries if I run into potential dates.
