(06:38) === [00:00:00] Well, folks, right now I have a guest in studio. [00:00:05] Name is Jack Prager. [00:00:07] Yes, he is related to me. [00:00:08] He is one of my grandsons. [00:00:12] And my... [00:00:15] Yeah, I don't know if he hears the applause. [00:00:19] He doesn't have earphones on. [00:00:21] Did you hear the applause? [00:00:23] You do it? [00:00:23] I hear it from here. [00:00:24] Oh, you do it? [00:00:24] You hear it from here? [00:00:25] Okay. [00:00:26] Jack, how old are you? [00:00:27] I am eight years old. [00:00:30] Eight years old. [00:00:32] So you know what they always ask kids? [00:00:34] At least they did when I was eight years old. [00:00:37] What do you want to be when you grow up? [00:00:39] I want to be a soccer player. [00:00:43] Really? [00:00:44] Yeah. [00:00:45] Very interesting. [00:00:46] I didn't know that would be your answer. [00:00:48] That's how much you love soccer? [00:00:49] Did you think? [00:00:50] I'm sorry? [00:00:51] What did I think you'd answer? [00:00:53] Yeah. [00:00:54] That's a riot. [00:00:55] What did I think he would answer? [00:00:58] I had no idea, to be honest. [00:01:00] I truly had no idea. [00:01:03] But soccer player does surprise me somewhat. [00:01:07] So, Jack, how do you like California? [00:01:09] You live in Florida. [00:01:11] Yeah. [00:01:12] I like it because of Universal and... [00:01:18] Universal Studios. [00:01:20] Because... [00:01:21] I don't really know. [00:01:27] Okay, but you're enjoying your trip. [00:01:29] Yeah. [00:01:30] That's great. [00:01:30] A lot. [00:01:31] Yeah. [00:01:31] And also Joshua Tree. [00:01:33] And now you're going to Joshua Tree, that's right. [00:01:35] Tonight. [00:01:36] Tonight. [00:01:37] Now, where you live, about half the year is really hot. [00:01:44] Do you mind it, or you're used to it? [00:01:47] I don't really care. [00:01:48] Yeah, so you get used to it. [00:01:50] That's nice. [00:01:52] Now, I am told, and I have tested you out on this, that you know the capital of every one of the 50 states. [00:01:59] Yeah. [00:02:01] Really? [00:02:02] There's no question in your mind about that. [00:02:04] I am going to ask you the hardest ones. [00:02:06] Okay. [00:02:07] Because whenever people tell me that they know all 50 capitals, I ask them a certain number that I know almost no one knows. [00:02:17] For example, very few people know the capital of Kentucky. [00:02:22] Frankfurt. [00:02:25] South Carolina. [00:02:32] This is rare. [00:02:34] South Carolina is... [00:02:37] Columbia. [00:02:39] I knew I should wait, and I was right. [00:02:42] Maine. [00:02:43] Augusta. [00:02:46] Missouri. [00:02:49] Jefferson City. [00:02:52] Did you know that, Ellen? [00:02:54] Yeah? [00:02:55] Let's see. [00:02:57] Mississippi. [00:02:58] Jackson. [00:03:01] Washington. [00:03:02] Olympia. [00:03:06] I'm asking the hardest ones I know. [00:03:08] What's left? [00:03:10] What is left? [00:03:12] Oregon? [00:03:13] He'll know Oregon. [00:03:15] What's Oregon? [00:03:15] Salem. [00:03:17] Idaho. [00:03:19] Des Moines. [00:03:20] Well, hello, Idaho. [00:03:23] Des Moines. [00:03:24] That's Iowa. [00:03:26] Wait, Idaho? [00:03:27] Oh, I got confused. [00:03:29] Idaho is... [00:03:31] My brain needs to process. [00:03:37] His brain needs to process. [00:03:41] I'm shocked. [00:03:43] I'm not disappointed by the average. [00:03:45] Tell me that one at the end. [00:03:46] Tell me that one. [00:03:47] I should ask you that at the end. [00:03:49] What was the name you threw out, Ellen? [00:03:51] Did you throw out one? [00:03:52] Oh, you did, yeah. [00:03:54] Sure. [00:03:54] Vermont. [00:03:55] Montpellier. [00:03:57] New Hampshire. [00:03:59] Concord. [00:04:02] I wonder what percentage of Americans know the capitals. [00:04:05] I've got to believe a very small percentage. [00:04:07] What percentage of eight-year-olds? [00:04:10] Well, I'm coming back. [00:04:11] Okay, you got them all except Idaho. [00:04:14] No, you need to tell me that at the... [00:04:17] Yeah, well, look, I'm not going to ask you all 50. Okay, so Idaho is... [00:04:22] When I tell you, you're going to hit your head. [00:04:28] Idaho is... [00:04:29] Because I know you know it. [00:04:30] I mean, I assume. [00:04:32] Idaho. [00:04:35] Do the TikTok, Sean. [00:04:36] Do the TikTok. [00:04:37] Do we have a recording? [00:04:39] We don't have that? [00:04:40] Idaho is... [00:04:42] Alright, it starts with a B. Next letter after B. Just, that's the last one. [00:04:51] Next letter. [00:04:52] I'm sorry. [00:04:53] Alright, Boise. [00:04:55] What's Boise? [00:04:56] Capital of Idaho. [00:04:58] Idaho is... [00:04:59] Oh, he really... [00:05:00] There you go. [00:05:01] I found one. [00:05:02] It's okay. [00:05:02] To know 49 is impressive. [00:05:04] Idaho is Boise? [00:05:06] What? [00:05:07] Yeah, yeah. [00:05:10] Jack is a character, folks. [00:05:12] What's Boise? [00:05:14] I never heard of the... [00:05:15] No, you didn't? [00:05:16] Yeah, B-O-I-S-E. That's exactly right. [00:05:21] I know Boise. [00:05:23] I never remember that. [00:05:26] I do not know what Boise is. [00:05:28] Yes, it's okay. [00:05:29] So 49 is not bad. [00:05:30] No, but you need to tell me more. [00:05:32] I'm not done yet. [00:05:33] Yeah, well, look, I don't know. [00:05:34] Tell me a lot more. [00:05:35] No, I won't. [00:05:36] I'll tell you two. [00:05:36] I'll ask you two more. [00:05:37] Alaska. [00:05:38] Juneau. [00:05:39] Right. [00:05:40] Alabama. [00:05:41] Montgomery. [00:05:42] Yeah, he knows his thing. [00:05:44] All right. [00:05:45] Idaho. [00:05:45] Hawaii. [00:05:46] He'll know Hawaii. [00:05:46] Hawaii, Honolulu. [00:05:48] Yes, exactly. [00:05:49] What is the capital of Sean? [00:05:52] Oh, you're talking about Cheyenne? [00:05:55] No. [00:05:56] Wyoming. [00:05:57] There you go.

[00:06:08] You asked me, what did I think you would answer about what you want to be when you grow up? [00:06:15] And I said I was surprised you said soccer player. [00:06:17] I tell you what I thought you would have answered. [00:06:19] Talk show host. [00:06:24] Right? [00:06:25] I don't know what you would... [00:06:27] No, no, that's what I thought you would answer. [00:06:29] If I had to guess... [00:06:31] Oh, so you thought I would be a soccer player? [00:06:33] No, I thought you would say talk show host. [00:06:36] Oh. [00:06:36] Because you love to talk into the microphone.
