James's Sister: Yeaaaah I'm not really sure you should do a video about Arizona ._.
James's Sister: I mean only people from Arizona will think it's funny!
James: I'm going to do it anyway...so if you saw my Bashas' video which I think was the
Fifth one in the French trip series you'll know that I live in Arizona
So cool I'm going to talk about it! Pros and Cons of living in Arizona! PRO!!
We got cactuse-cac- cacti! And in fact we and a tiny bit of Mexico are the only place in the
WORLD! with Saguaro cactuses-
I mean cacti.. BOOM! And as an extra bonus they look really funny with Christmas
decorations on them
CON not a lot of trees, which I mean who needs trees!
they just stand there all they do is provide shade and oxygen
I guess you could climb them I don't need that instead of trees we have these things
pro we have In-N-Out..okay that store technically originated in California but
it's moved to here and it's delicious
I actually applied there and I got an interview they didn't hire me though :(
you guys are missing ooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Con: THE HEAT it's unbearable! in the summer you can expect the weather to be
in TRIPLE DIGITS
we don't have to be told not to leave our dog or babies inside cars because
we're already dying of heat stroke while the air conditioning is on Pro: We don't
have daylight savings which might seem like a good thing but the only reason we
don't is because con the sun is trying to kill you
Yes, it's hot here pro its think we got the Grand Canyon which is like one of
the seven wonders of the world I guess
and it can be seen from the Great Wall of China I'm just kidding that's not
true :')
oh I got it! Pro: Citrus.
We grow oranges lemons and grapefruits
they only get ripe in the winter though these are actually part of the three C's
of Arizona
We have: Citrus, copper, cats, cacti, and cattle, and calcium,
because of all the sunshine we're getting. Con: it hardly rains here
yes that's a bad thing because i never learned how to close an umbrella
okay that's an exaggeration of course I know how to close an umbrella but it was
a very hard learning curve and Arizona was not built to get rained on when we
do get rain streets flood schools closed and trees
well these kinds of trees fall.. Pro: So yeah the summer can be unbearable but
winter is a total breeze
winter is when the weather is perfect well everyone else has to deal with
stuff like this here all we get is ripe lemons perfect for making cold
lemonade with and because our winters are so not really wintry we have a bunch
of old people who move down here in the winter and then move back to their
summer home in Minnesota or whatever you like birds who migrated south in the
winter but like snow birds which is coincidentally what we call them
so really it's sort of a Pro / Con on one side we have tolerable weather but
on the other side
old people you know I can't really think of any more pros
so we're just going to say more cons apparently phoenix was ranked number 10
on the rudest cities in America which okay, how do you measure a cities rudeness
rude people and comparing them to other cities like oh this person in Phoenix
called me a piece of s***, but this person in Wyoming only called me a piece of crap so I guess Phoenix just has more rude people add it to the list
and also on the same list we apparently
we had some of the worst drivers around which I can sort of see because everyone
here drive 7 to 15 miles over the speed limit but i really hate slow
drivers so it's kind of a pro for me but I guess it's a con
also did you guys know that a haboob is another name for a dust storm and i know
this because we've had to use that word before
and because we call them that dust storms become 20 times more awesome
in fact we're probably excited to see haboobs just so we can make jokes
about them as soon as we see a cloud of dust on the horizon
we all fell at guys it's haboob you guys remember ahah!
Thas what we call it and then we go inside and make jokes like oh man this is one
is a massive haboob
and lastly probably the worst con of all, the heat
I know I already mentioned it three times but I don't think I've really
driven my point home here
it's so hot here I am literally sweating right now as I'm recording this and
that's not on the script please get me out and some of you watching are
probably like but James
it's a dry heat right that means it's not as bad
let me answer that question with another question and then an answer
do you know what else a dry heat is? ovens and volcanoes and that's where I
live
