Welcome to this month's JackSucksAtGeography subreddit video!
This is also probably the last subreddit I'll do
before we reach 1 million subscribers,
which is absurd.
I honestly cannot believe
the last 12 months that this channel has had.
Thank you very, very much.
And finally, for those of you who haven't heard yet,
the first ever JackSucksAtGeography merch is available right now.
Look at that. Oh, cool globe. Oh, look on the back, even cooler.
Check out this cool animation.
Is that some stars? Yeah. Oh, is that a globe?
Oh, very nice. That's cool. Oh, JMW. What does that stand for?
Oh, hold on a second. What else is happening?
2022. That's this year. Oh, is that the St. Lucia flag?
If I scroll past that, we've got black and white t-shirts available.
We've got sweatshirts, we've got hoodies.
Very reasonable pricing.
Literally, you've only got one week before it's gone forever.
jmw.world
Order now, and they'll arrive in time for Christmas.
Thank you very much.
I'm actually a bit warm. Oh, is that the t-shirt version?
Very nice.
Anyway, top post of the month
Polish pillow, 29 US dollars; Indonesian pillow, $1.99.
That's the top post of the month.
And it's just an old reposted geography meme
that's not got anything to do with our channel.
Right, cool.
Guys, join the geography subreddit.
Let's get to 20,000 members. That could be nice.
It has to be settled... 1, 2, or 3?
Okay, my favourite flags.
Seychelles was my original favourite. Then we've got St. Lucia,
which I have been saying is my new favourite.
And then we've also got Antigua and Barbuda,
and Kiribati as well.
I love each of these flags.
There's something I really like about the Kiribati's flag.
Just the waves.
But I'm sticking with my guns. I'm going with the St. Lucia flag.
That's why I added the St. Lucia flag to my merch.
You see it there.
And it's also...
Oh, is that it on the JackSucksAtGeography YouTooz?
Coming soon? Exclusive leak?
Video idea:
Can I name all 7.7 billion people on earth?
We'll be doing it.
Maybe that's how we'll celebrate 8 billion people.
That'll be nice.
Where parrots are native.
Oh, a map I've not seen before.
It's basically southern hemisphere.
That's interesting. Now, I love parrots by the way.
Big fan of tropical birds generally. That's why I have this big Toucan cushion.
Look. Here, I am feeding a Lorikeet.
Look how much fun I'm having. Look at my happy little face.
Oh, now he's on my head I'm having a great time.
And you know what? That brings me on to this month's Jacks Geography Interlude.
People keep asking me to play Flaggle. So let's do it.
It's a different flag each day.
I think to begin with, it's going to be Greece.
Let's guess. Are you sure you want to give up?
No. I clicked the wrong button. There we go.
Oh, I thought I'd got it.
If you've never played Flaggle before
basically what it's done is
it is telling me that there is white in this area of this mystery flag.
So the white central bits from the Greek flag match
with today's flag.
But obviously, there's also a symbol appearing here.
What's got white in the middle?
We've got places like Ireland, and we've got places like Nigeria,
but none of those have this symbol.
So I'm going to try Peru maybe.
Peru has a symbol in the middle, doesn't it?
Let's guess.
Oh, it's easy. It's obvious. It's Mexico.
Now, I can see more of the symbol.
That's obviously the eagle eating the snake.
So let's type Mexico.
Guess. Yeah, we got it right.
You know what? I enjoyed that thoroughly.
We'll do another Jacks Geography Interlude
in like five minutes.
Finally achieved world peas.
Wow, the posts are terrible in this one.
If you want me to react to something next month,
join the subreddit and you'll probably get in the video.
Let's be honest.
What I thought I would learn in geography: country, flags and capitals;
what I actually learn in geography: rivers, map symbols and mountain ranges.
Yeah, my memory of GCSE geography feels like it was like 95% rivers.
It was just constant oxbow lakes, deposition...
I don't care. Stop telling me about rivers.
Still got an A though. No big deal. A* on me coursework.
No big deal, though. Don't worry about it guys.
A map in FIFA 17 doesn't have New Zealand.
How did that many people get this wrong?
Oh, my god.
When I got back to the designs for this merch, by the way,
first thing I did was made sure that we had New Zealand
because I was thinking
about how embarrassing that would be for me.
The Finnish flag.
Because it's just got like a finish line flag.
Just got subreddit look what I made Jack.
You made that. Oh, my God, it's amazing!
It's the wrong way round. I'm not going to lie.
Editor Kai, my head's hurting. Can you solve that?
Thank you. That's better.
Shall I risk naming every single one of these flags
and embarrass myself because I'll inevitably get an easy one incorrect?
Yeah, let's do it.
Okay. Keep in mind for me that they're on the side.
All right. But we got Portugal. We got Iceland, Germany, Greece, France,
Denmark, although they're not across us.
It's kind of in the wrong way. I'm just saying.
Belgium, Norway, Italy, Ukraine.
It looks like Romania, but it's the wrong way up.
Then we've got Finland. Then we got Monaco.
I meant Poland. I meant Poland.
Then we've got Finland, Spain, Czechia, Switzerland, Ireland, UK, Austria,
Hungary, and... I know it's probably super easy,
but I just can't remember it.
But anyway, you've done a very good job.
Like that's a very nice accurate cut out of Europe. Well done.
Notice anything off about this map in my French class?
It looks like it's got double Austria. How does that even happen?
The longest line you can walk without touching the ocean.
All right, you go all the way from Liberia all the way through the Sahara Desert,
so I mean you would be dead there.
You're probably not going to survive that.
Then we're going through Libya and Egypt and then we're ending up in Syria.
It's all seeming a little bit dodgy.
We're going through a bit of Iran
with tiptoeing around Afghanistan, Turkmenistan.
I'm not sure it's a route I'd feel comfortable going,
but you have a good one, you enjoy.
This tiny island in Scotland looks a bit like the UK.
Oh, remember the days when I could just look at that
and then make a YouTube short out of it, and it's like six seconds long,
and then it gets a million views for no reason?
Bring those days back, please.
Jack needs to learn the difference.
Okay, I get terms like this wrong quite a bit, and I am sorry about that.
Finland and Iceland aren't Scandinavian.
I'd never thought that Iceland was Scandinavian,
but I did think that Finland was Scandinavian. I'm not going to lie.
Iceland and Finland are Nordic,
and then Norway, Sweden, and Denmark are Scandinavian.
I reckon I should be able to remember that.
Shout out to Reland, by the way, guys.
Made the globe on a pumpkin
Africa/Europe had to be fixed which is why it looks wonky there.
Did you actually do that?
Because considering it's a pumpkin, you did a good job.
The pumpkin that I did this year, it looks absolutely dreadful. One sec.
Look at that. What's that about?
I was trying to make like an owl, but then he looks more like a mouse,
but he's got really awful eyes.
It looks okay in the picture. It looked terrible in real life.
I was embarrassed about it.
There was a trick or treater and I saw it on my little doorbell camera,
they looked at it,
and then they like whispered something to their dad,
and then that dad looked at it, and he looked physically repulsed by it.
Do you know how that makes me feel?
That was a real low moment for me that night.
Jack, your new channel just hit 100K.
Bloody hell. Yes.
Since the last JackSucksAtGeography Reddit video,
I launched geography stuff.
Thanks to editor Arian, every single day, a few times a day,
there are different geography clips going up on this new channel
and for some reason, it's getting mad views.
I've also quite a few people that have reached out to me
because they think
that geography stuff is stealing my content.
But do not worry, it is me.
I get 1,000,000 subs on JackSucksAtGeography.
Very soon. Hopefully in two weeks or something.
I get a gold play button.
That, I'm really excited about because you know,
the only actual like new gold play button that's my own that I've got is
this fella right here, JackSucksAtLife.
I got it in 2019. Obviously, that was a little while ago now.
I've no idea where I'm going to put it though.
But then, I have to go to Equatorial Guinea.
I'll be honest.
The Equatorial Guinea video, it's not going to be for a while.
All right? You want me to be totally honest?
My dogs are very old
and I can't really go anywhere until they're dead.
I don't want them to be dead.
But at some point, they will be dead
and then I'll be booking holidays to the Maldives.
I don't want them to be dead. I love my dogs.
I feel like it's coming across like I'm going to kill my dog.
I'm not going to kill my dog.
Let's look at the next post.
Oh, it's JackSucksAtGeography fanart!
Look at me holding my two favourite flags. That's so cute.
I've got like Ethiopia and Estonia socks on.
Yes, please.
We've also got a silver play button in the background.
I've got my old headphones. I've got me little nice gold glasses on.
There's a country ball on my shoulder.
People keep asking me to play country balls.
I don't know what country balls is.
California is the closest state to Hawaii,
but Hawaii is the furthest state from California.
That is a very cool statistic.
I learned recently a lady called Amelia Earhart was
the first person to fly from Hawaii to California.
So shout out to that lady. Yay.
Anyone else get these two cities mixed up?
Budapest and Bucharest?
Yes, I'm 100% guilty of this one.
Obviously, I learn all of the capitals of Europe.
Shall I do that really quickly now so we can find out if I can still do it?
Don't worry. We'll time-lapse it. Okay.
This was the one that I struggle with the most.
Podgorica.
I do not understand why I can never get this one.
Podgarica. I must be so close.
Right, we'll skip it. We'll come back to it.
I see what I've done.
I got the capital of Montenegro mixed up with the capital of Macedonia.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, I did it.
I got them mixed up, Bucharest and Budapest.
Oh, dear.
There we go, we did it. We got them all.
I can stamp out those little mistakes,
and I'll be able to eventually name all 197 capitals.
I really don't want to learn Asia or Africa.
Oh, just some rust, keep scrolling.
Do you think that's real? I don't think I do.
I mean that would be possible.
You just have to like very slowly chip away
and make sure you don't chip too much.
I think that's fake though
just because of the kind of the blurriness around some areas here.
But hey, if you live nearby that, prove me wrong.
Germany looks like it's eating Czechia. Do you know what it does?
Whoa, guys, do you hear that like shaking and rumbling?
Oh, my God. It must be time for Jacks Geography Interlude again.
I'm going to play Globle, which I've literally not played for ages.
I used to love doing this. I did it every single day for a while.
All right. What shall we go with?
I am going to go with, oh, Columbia. I'm feeling it.
Columbia, please. Here we go.
All right. How far away are we? We are 9,000 kilometres.
So we want to go basically like maybe around here.
All right. I will try Italy then.
Let's go for it. Oh, much much closer. We are 900 kilometres away.
So maybe somewhere like Poland. Should we try Poland?
I'm going to try Poland, you know.
Oh, less than 10 kilometres.
So it neighbours Poland. So 900 away. Maybe I should go with maybe Belarus.
Belarus borders Poland, right? Doesn't it? A little bit of it. Yes.
We got there in four.
I was aiming for three. I'm still happy with four.
I searched up terrible flags and the Seychelles came up lol.
Lol? This is no laughing matter. That is disgusting.
A kid named all countries of Europe and said that he's inspired by you.
All right. Here we go.
In this one, we're going to do Sporcle again.
And it's going to be the countries of Europe.
Portugal.
So he says the country and then his dad types them in.
-Spain. Belgium. -And he is a little genius to be fair.
I actually know this guy. I think he's five years old.
They've commented on quite a few of my videos
and I'm glad that I was able to inspire them.
That is epic. But yes, shout out to the flag kid.
Even though he's now better than I am at geography,
even though I'm the reason he's good at geography in the first place!
Can Jack guess the flag?
Why? I can. That's Hawaii, right? Is that Hawaii?
I will check.
Oh, I've accidentally clicked the back button.
Oh, this is the stupid back button on the mouse.
I hate it when I accidentally click the back button.
Put me back where I was. Oh, it's put me back to the top.
I'm back with this crap again.
I just want to see if I was right. Yes, I was right.
It's Hawaii. Thank god for that.
Flag of Jackan.
That literally says
"don't take this down, please" in the title.
I did it!
Oh, we've got someone that has successfully named all of the capitals.
There's such tricky ones in there, though.
So I learnt Oceania recently. Not too many people saw in the video.
All right, I'm not going to get all these. Let's time-lapse it and see how I get on.
Okay, only one I can't remember is Solomon Islands
and I know it's "Hon" something.
Okay, let's give up. Honiara.
I mean, it's a pretty good effort to be fair.
I'm quite pleased with myself.
Insane looking maps.
Okay, so they show off the topography of the countries
with the colours of the flags, which is really really cool.
It's a really nice idea.
A 3D one of these would look epic in a frame.
Look at that. That looks so much like a fish.
Romania looks so much like a nice pretty fish.
Flag glasses in a gift shop in Monaco.
Oh my God.
I was thinking of which one I'd get,
but each one of them looks absolutely dreadful.
We're just going to forget about this series.
Oh, it's been four months, or four mesecis,
since I did a continental outlines video.
Our videos are so nerdy by the way.
What happened to you, Jack?
It's like I literally put glasses on and then I was just smart.
You know what I mean?
But yeah, I'll probably learn the continental outlines at some point.
The Europe one was quite fun.
I've learned the capital cities of Europe,
but Jack's not going to learn any of the other continents.
I've learned Oceania, okay.
And I'll learn South America next
and probably North America in the same video.
Oh, but then North America's got the Caribbeans.
I don't want to learn the capitals.
Oh, I hate it. It's too hard.
Languages spoken across the Americas. All right.
English up in the United States and Canada, obviously.
Then we've got a lot of Spanish. We've got a little bit of Dutch,
tiny bit of French and also a lot of Portuguese in Brazil.
If only we could get all of these like 500 million Spanish speakers
to watch my Spanish channel...
It's so expensive to run each month and nobody watches it.
Some of my flag bunting and my two favourite flags.
Two favourite flags being Slovakia and Estonia.
Oh, that's delightful.
Maybe I should order some flag bunting when this channel hits a million.
That could be like nice for a few...
Oh, I'm about to run out of space on my camera.
Oh god.
Sorry guys, none of the other posts are good.
They're all absolutely terrible.
Thank you very much for watching. Remember to check out...
Oh no!
jmw.world for the merch. Thank you so much.
There's one week
before these incredible designs are gone forever.
And also please join the subreddit.
We really need some better posts.
See you later.
