|
Well, folks, right now I have a guest in studio.
|
|
Name is Jack Prager.
|
|
Yes, he is related to me.
|
|
He is one of my grandsons.
|
|
And my...
|
|
Yeah, I don't know if he hears the applause.
|
|
He doesn't have earphones on.
|
|
Did you hear the applause?
|
|
You do it?
|
|
I hear it from here.
|
|
Oh, you do it?
|
|
You hear it from here?
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Jack, how old are you?
|
|
I am eight years old.
|
|
Eight years old.
|
|
So you know what they always ask kids?
|
|
At least they did when I was eight years old.
|
|
What do you want to be when you grow up?
|
|
I want to be a soccer player.
|
|
Really?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Very interesting.
|
|
I didn't know that would be your answer.
|
|
That's how much you love soccer?
|
|
Did you think?
|
|
I'm sorry?
|
|
What did I think you'd answer?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
That's a riot.
|
|
What did I think he would answer?
|
|
I had no idea, to be honest.
|
|
I truly had no idea.
|
|
But soccer player does surprise me somewhat.
|
|
So, Jack, how do you like California?
|
|
You live in Florida.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I like it because of Universal and...
|
|
Universal Studios.
|
|
Because...
|
|
I don't really know.
|
|
Okay, but you're enjoying your trip.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
That's great.
|
|
A lot.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And also Joshua Tree.
|
|
And now you're going to Joshua Tree, that's right.
|
|
Tonight.
|
|
Tonight.
|
|
Now, where you live, about half the year is really hot.
|
|
Do you mind it, or you're used to it?
|
|
I don't really care.
|
|
Yeah, so you get used to it.
|
|
That's nice.
|
|
Now, I am told, and I have tested you out on this, that you know the capital of every one of the 50 states.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Really?
|
|
There's no question in your mind about that.
|
|
I am going to ask you the hardest ones.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
Because whenever people tell me that they know all 50 capitals, I ask them a certain number that I know almost no one knows.
|
|
For example, very few people know the capital of Kentucky.
|
|
Frankfurt.
|
|
South Carolina.
|
|
This is rare.
|
|
South Carolina is...
|
|
Columbia.
|
|
I knew I should wait, and I was right.
|
|
Maine.
|
|
Augusta.
|
|
Missouri.
|
|
Jefferson City.
|
|
Did you know that, Ellen?
|
|
Yeah?
|
|
Let's see.
|
|
Mississippi.
|
|
Jackson.
|
|
Washington.
|
|
Olympia.
|
|
I'm asking the hardest ones I know.
|
|
What's left?
|
|
What is left?
|
|
Oregon?
|
|
He'll know Oregon.
|
|
What's Oregon?
|
|
Salem.
|
|
Idaho.
|
|
Des Moines.
|
|
Well, hello, Idaho.
|
|
Des Moines.
|
|
That's Iowa.
|
|
Wait, Idaho?
|
|
Oh, I got confused.
|
|
Idaho is...
|
|
My brain needs to process.
|
|
His brain needs to process.
|
|
I'm shocked.
|
|
I'm not disappointed by the average.
|
|
Tell me that one at the end.
|
|
Tell me that one.
|
|
I should ask you that at the end.
|
|
What was the name you threw out, Ellen?
|
|
Did you throw out one?
|
|
Oh, you did, yeah.
|
|
Sure.
|
|
Vermont.
|
|
Montpellier.
|
|
New Hampshire.
|
|
Concord.
|
|
I wonder what percentage of Americans know the capitals.
|
|
I've got to believe a very small percentage.
|
|
What percentage of eight-year-olds?
|
|
Well, I'm coming back.
|
|
Okay, you got them all except Idaho.
|
|
No, you need to tell me that at the...
|
|
Yeah, well, look, I'm not going to ask you all 50. Okay, so Idaho is...
|
|
When I tell you, you're going to hit your head.
|
|
Idaho is...
|
|
Because I know you know it.
|
|
I mean, I assume.
|
|
Idaho.
|
|
Do the TikTok, Sean.
|
|
Do the TikTok.
|
|
Do we have a recording?
|
|
We don't have that?
|
|
Idaho is...
|
|
Alright, it starts with a B. Next letter after B. Just, that's the last one.
|
|
Next letter.
|
|
I'm sorry.
|
|
Alright, Boise.
|
|
What's Boise?
|
|
Capital of Idaho.
|
|
Idaho is...
|
|
Oh, he really...
|
|
There you go.
|
|
I found one.
|
|
It's okay.
|
|
To know 49 is impressive.
|
|
Idaho is Boise?
|
|
What?
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
Jack is a character, folks.
|
|
What's Boise?
|
|
I never heard of the...
|
|
No, you didn't?
|
|
Yeah, B-O-I-S-E. That's exactly right.
|
|
I know Boise.
|
|
I never remember that.
|
|
I do not know what Boise is.
|
|
Yes, it's okay.
|
|
So 49 is not bad.
|
|
No, but you need to tell me more.
|
|
I'm not done yet.
|
|
Yeah, well, look, I don't know.
|
|
Tell me a lot more.
|
|
No, I won't.
|
|
I'll tell you two.
|
|
I'll ask you two more.
|
|
Alaska.
|
|
Juneau.
|
|
Right.
|
|
Alabama.
|
|
Montgomery.
|
|
Yeah, he knows his thing.
|
|
All right.
|
|
Idaho.
|
|
Hawaii.
|
|
He'll know Hawaii.
|
|
Hawaii, Honolulu.
|
|
Yes, exactly.
|
|
What is the capital of Sean?
|
|
Oh, you're talking about Cheyenne?
|
|
No.
|
|
Wyoming.
|
|
There you go.
|
|
Wyoming Cheyenne.
|
|
That's right.
|
|
Exactly.
|
|
Well, so how would you like to be...
|
|
Oh, yes.
|
|
You know what?
|
|
You asked me, what did I think you would answer about what you want to be when you grow up?
|
|
And I said I was surprised you said soccer player.
|
|
I tell you what I thought you would have answered.
|
|
Talk show host.
|
|
Right?
|
|
I don't know what you would...
|
|
No, no, that's what I thought you would answer.
|
|
If I had to guess...
|
|
Oh, so you thought I would be a soccer player?
|
|
No, I thought you would say talk show host.
|
|
Oh.
|
|
Because you love to talk into the microphone.
