you may have a tough time believing some names that people have given to places let’s talk about that good mythical morning there are a lot of places on earth I can’t tell you how many places there are linked but there’s quite a few more than a thousand billion less than a billion more than a thousand and they have you got a name these places so you got to come up with a name and sometimes people come up with weird names we’re going to play a game today where I’m going to say the name of a place and it may be a real place out there with a weird name or maybe a weird name that I have made up okay you have ten places that are gonna be given to you oh yeah you tell me if a real or fake get 600 yeah now buddy if you get six out of ten or more right you get your rename Rhett mcLaughlin I’m giving you the right to change the name of that Fox it I will gladly take it how many out of how many you got to get six out of ten that’s 60% technically technically a failing grade but you know what I don’t have a lot of faith in you okay by the way that’s what makes us human naming things no monkeys name stuff really no I’m just kidding okay we go Winker pickle sorry what Winker pickle not a place how about Winker picker Winkle it’s no different Winkle picker point Winkle picker points it’s funny how you Maryland you laughed at the mispronunciation but they’re all equally absurd Winkle picker points Winkle picker Winkle picker point Winkle picker point Ireland Winkle picker who how do you pick a Winkle I don’t know uh I’m gonna start off at yes that’s the place it’s fake but a fun fake fact about wink / Winkle picker Winkle picker I can say is the most famously it’s most famously known for being the birthplace of the Winkle picker shoe which is a real shoe that kind of shoe right there really yeah you have a pair I’ve seen those you warmed a prom all right so I I’m losing right now okay don’t don’t kick somebody with that toad suck Arkansas toad suck mine so man this party is a toad suck that one is a total suck toad like a toad Arkansas absolutely real correct it is a town in Arkansas the original name the origin of the name is disputed some say it was received when the river men would congregate at the local tavern where they would suck on the bottle so they swell up like toads which makes no sense to me so I don’t think that’s what it is I think it’s probably the corruption of a French phrase meaning a narrow channel in the river also toad sucking is a real thing people do it because it has hallucinogenic effects not in Arkansas but other places in the world yes okay so one one up one down rectum Netherlands rectum gee I wonder who could have made this one up rectum Netherland let me just roleplay for a second hey I’m Rhett I’m
