"Ah! It is so great to be back in the Balkans. I actually love researching this place because it's like you'll never get bored. It's Europe's most dysfunctional family. However, when it comes to [country], it's kind of like...Welcome to quite possibly the sleepiest nation on the planet."

"Ah, [country]! It's not a Latin country. You're thinking "maracas". It's in the Arab world. It's not really Arab much. It's in Africa and not the Middle East. But it borders Spain, literally. Like three times. This is gonna be a fun one."

"For years, you guys have been joking over and over by saying: "Oh, by the time Geography Now gets to the [country] episode, the country is gonna be underwater." Well, ha ha ha ha! Guess who's still staying afloat!" "Islands don't float." "Oh yeah, hey Hannah, how you doing?" "I'm Marvelous!" "Hannah, you know, what?" "What?" "How would you like a lot of lines in this episode?" "That sounds great!" "All right, you're in."

Pandering much? You bet. Hi, Gen-Z."

"Hey everybody, years ago, do you remember how we did the Comoros episode and I said I couldn't find anybody from Comoros but I got the next best thing: A dude from [country]? Well, you guys remember Nick, my one [from country] friend. Say hi!" "Hey guys! Great to see you again!" "Nick will be co-hosting with me for this episode. Nick, what is one thing about [country] you'd like everybody to know?" "Well actually, I'm born and raised British but you know my heritage? Yep. Woo hoo!" "Meh, good enough."

"Hey everybody. Before you watch this episode, just a little disclaimer: I was stupid and I booked the wrong day at the YouTube space so we weren't able to film in the studios. So I had to improvise and we filmed in my house. So the next two episodes are gonna have the same quality of how we used to film the episodes back in like 2016. Relatively poor echoey, audio quality and very visible black backdrop. But I did not want to 'not upload a video this week' , so I had to give you something, I mean, these Geography Now! videos are mostly just about the information. Right...right...right?? I'm sorry guys. But anyway, I tried my best and I still want to give you a video this week, so without further ado, here we go."

"Now you guys know I'm half Korean. If you don't know much about East Asia, basically: Putting aside all the political differences, at the end of the day, the nearly two billion of East Asians like Koreans, Japanese and Chinese are distant cousins. Then little [country] comes in with less than 3 million people and they step on the scene and it's like "Oh, hey, hey grandpa.""

"Now, if there was one country that holds all the deepest secrets and treasures of historical Africa, you might say "Egypt? Ethiopia?", which, okay, yeah. Those are viable candidates. But try a country with the richest guy that ever existed, with cities flourishing in science, astronomy, and literature and gold! It looks like good old joll- [country] just stepped in the ring!"

"Oh this place! It's like the strangest little sovereign island nation with this strangest little language, with the strangest little homes, on the strangest little landscape!" "Ah, why thank you."

"Oooh this is gonna be a good one. Very few people know anything about [country]. AKA, the land of wind and ghosts. Strangers from a vibrant background with forbidden actions that linger hidden in the sands lost in time. Whoa, that sounded like the preface of a romance novel. Well that's one more thing I can add to the list of things to pursue in case Geography Now! crashes and burns."

"Remember how in the Ghana episode, I told you that Ghana was like the perfect starting point for beginners interested in visiting Sub-Saharan Africa?

"¡Ah! ¡ Finalmente hemos llegado al episodio de [country]! Pero no puedo hacer esto sin un [person from country in local language] de verdad...¡Bienvenida a mi amigo César de Puerto Vallarta!" "¡Hola buenos tardes a todos!" "César, si tu pudieras decir una cosa de [country] para abrer este episodio...¿qual seria?" "[country] es un pais místico, colorido, lleno de cultura y tradiciónes. [country] va mucha más allá del mariachi y tequila solamente, e pronto los cantaremos." "Bueno. Oh, yeah, and he speaks English, too." "Oh, yeah. I went to college in Texas. So a little bit."
