Just on a technicality,
1) the word sheriff actually comes from the shortening of the word shire-reeve (a reeve being a Anglo-Saxon local official)
2) counties were never ruled by counts, and count was never a English title. Count is the French/European version of earl, who ruled the shires at the time of the Norman invasion. Because they spoke French, they renamed the shires counties, as it was the equivalent term. This is also the reason why the female equivalent of earl is countess.

As someone who grew up in greater Manchester, I can tell you that there a lot of people who don't like their hometown being considered part of Manchester, especially the ones on the Lancashire and West Yorkshire border. There are towns in greater Manchester where people fly Yorkshire flags from their windows 👀

Kentucky used to have laws that made it really easy for locals to split off and form their own counties if they didn't like how the county they were in was being run. That's why Kentucky has more counties (120) than any other US state, despite it only being medium size in area and on the small side in population. When it was first granted statehood, Kentucky had a grand total of three counties.

8:23 The ukelele smashing wasn't because Mark wanted Jay to stop singing, but that he'd been reminded that Rutland still exists
