00:07travel shows and we were talking about it would be great to see what Birmingham, Alabama
00:10is like because we're pretty much all from Birmingham and as we were talking about it
00:14somebody started Googling and we found that there were Birmingham's all over the place
00:17and we found 18 other Birmingham's, there's one in Canada but the rest are in the States
00:23and they're all across the States, there's 3 in Ohio, there's 2 in Pennsylvania, there's
00:29obviously the one in Alabama but they go all the way over to Kansas, there's one in
00:34Kentucky which is literally underwater, it's under a lake now but it used to be a Birmingham
00:38years ago and so we started to kind of work on this idea and ended up with this United
00:45States of Birmingham as we're calling it and creating this treaty of friendship, the Lord
00:49Mayor of Birmingham UK was well up for it, we found in Birmingham, Pennsylvania, there's
00:542 in Birmingham, Pennsylvania but in one of them there's a family called the Brinton's
00:57and they've been there for a long time, the original Brinton was William Brinton who came
01:03over, he was a Quaker who was being persecuted and he has a lot of ancestors now, they spread
01:10out across the globe, one of those ancestors is Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift has an official
01:16link with Birmingham, our Birmingham. We're calling her a Brummie, Taylor Swift is a Brummie.
