Little something different, a little house music to kick off.
To kick off today's episode of Studio three one three,
We're coming at you, as always from Anderson Hall, the
College of Journalism and Mass Communications affectionately known as the
coch a MC, right here on the University of Nebraska
Lincoln's City campus, and we're kicking it off with it's
(00:50):
called some Nights, not to be confused with Some Nights
by Fun the one of the most iconic songs from
like our elementary school air rides say. This is some
Nights by Class Fools, released a couple of years ago.
And I love a little house music. But welcome to
another episode of Studio three one three. I'm joined as
always by my lovely co host, Dylan Sash. Dylan wearing
(01:12):
his trademark Badass hat.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's a signature hat for me these days.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Looking absolutely phenomenal on this lovely Sunday afternoon, on this
Sunday where it happens to be a beautiful sixty seven
degrees thank you, thank you to the Midwest, sixty seven
degrees outside. I don't even know what to do with myself.
It's well, I know what I'm gonna do with myself
after this, I'm gonna go take a little walk outside.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's phenomenale we spent this morning. Yeah, obviously Huskers played
basketball lost to Iowa. Not great, it was not great,
not kind of unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah, because that knocked us out of the Big
Ten tournament, right, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Well, I guess not necessarily a hundred percent. At the
time of this recording, there's still, like I guess, a
small chance, but like not really. Yeah, there's like three
other Big Ten teams that will play, and we need
them all to lose for us to get in as
like the very bottom seed, which I just don't see that.
Yeah happening.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But but you were doing outside today.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
But yeah, we parked and walked in and like even
this morning, the game was at eleven thirty. We got
there probably about ten forty five. Sure, parked and walked
in and it was just beautiful. I mean that walk
was gorgeous. It was the perfect time, like perfect weather
the whole way. And then you get out of the
basketball game and you're like you're walking back to your
car and it's like, oh, dude, shorts, hoodie, it feels
(02:32):
like summer chilling, Like yeah, it feels like summer. I mean, like,
right now, what is it sixty some degrees? I my
phone says sixty five.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Degrees sixty five, So we're in the mid sixties, and
it's it's truly like, drop everything that you're doing. Alert
the media because it's so beautiful outside. Now. Unfortunately, I
don't think that. I don't think we're in the clear yet.
I think we're I think we're in for some more
nasty cold days. My my, my Midwest instincts are just
(02:58):
telling me that we're we're not out of the woods yet.
I think we're gonna get some nasty weather. I feel
like this this upcoming week is supposed to be all
sixties and seventies, but boy, I think it's gonna get
dropped down to like the forties again in a little bit.
Like probably not this upcoming week, but next week. By
the way, it's March ninth at the time of our recording,
so the week of the tenth to the fifteenth or so,
(03:20):
I think we're good. But spring break week it might
actually get a little bit cooler. So we'll see, we'll see.
We might be in for some more rough weather, hopefully
not as rough as the eat Nebraska basketball performance today
and it was just it's not even anything to talk about.
I'm really just depressed even thinking about it. But one
(03:41):
team at the University of Nebraska Lincoln that plays basketball
pretty well a majority of the time except for except
for a couple of players like myself.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
There's a couple of players out there.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Don't really do. I'm not a great player, I'm not
a great hooper. I am the week link of Dome
Crew basketball. And we've played two games so far this season,
and the first game was very successful. I mean we
won that one. It was relatively close throughout, like the
other team had us on our toes for like the
first Like I'd say, because they used to do the
(04:16):
games by halves, two halves, now they do four quarters.
It used to be two was it eighteen minute halves
or twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Two twenty minute halves? There's two twenty minute halves and
the clock just ran allways. Now it's four four nine,
four nine minute quarters, right, which like, yes, we lost
two minutes of game time, but like also at the
same time, like the game time didn't change much like
two minutes. You're right, it is a little unfortunate, but
(04:44):
like also at the same time, I think the play
style definitely benefits some smaller teams, Like i'd consider don't
crew a smaller.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Team, we are wor smaller team.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
We usually have anywhere from five to eight guys. Yeah,
and then like unfortunately the team that we just played
had like fifteen guys, so they had to ross completely unfair. Yeah,
but like for a team like us, now we get
a minute break. We get about one minute between the
first quarter and second quarter, and then we still get
(05:14):
usually like our three to five minute break between halves,
so it kind of bounces out and it allows you know,
like we get the break, but then like we can
sub out without burning a timeout or anything like that.
Like I think it benefits us. My only only downfall
I think is like free throws, but not really like
the teams are complaining about it, but like also at
(05:34):
the same time, like it's no different than the last
time we did free throws, not really like I would
say that two minutes at You're lost was like lost
to free throw shooting anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, but anyways, it's four nine minute quarters now versus
two twenty minute halves, and our first game we were successful.
They the team had us like they were there. It
was pretty close throughout, but then in the third and
fourth quarter we pulled away. I mean the Twins were
red hot shooting from deep. Uh, they were pretty much
unstoppable from three.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Most definitely Soden Braiden went on one pretty nice little
run there.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Brand did have a great game because he I just
kept calling him Wemby from the sidelines because he was
he was in that Webby jersey.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
He's got jersey on, which I think is just so funny.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Because he's knocking down three.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
He's just he's just shooting them too, like he just
doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So, yeah, he had a great game and that was
kind of what bolstered us to our It was like
a ten or twelve point victory in that first game.
The second game was not as successful. And this is
because now not this is not all because of the
difference in team sizes, but the other team had literally
like twelve dudes on it and we had seven. I
(06:45):
think I think we literally had two subs and that
was it. And I mean, I am basically not I
don't even really count when I'm on the court because
all I kind of do is just run around in
circles and try and tire out the opposing team. That's
all I'm really good for. I can make like a
pass every once in a while, but I'm not a shooter.
I can't I can't really dribble with Well.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
We learned that Daniel wasn't a shooter this game.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
No, we we learned that I'm not a shooter, and
that's because it was what it was tied, like, I
don't remember what the score was, but the game was
tied with a minute or so left in the fourth quarter.
I probably should have just totally removed myself from the
situation because myself and crunch time in basketball don't really
go together. Football is a little bay football.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Daniel's there in crunch time.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Plays yeah football, I can make plays like I actually
kind of know what I'm doing because, like football is,
it's something that I did like a lot of backyard
football with my buddies, whereas like I didn't do much
pick up basketball with friends, whereas a lot of other
people did. And the twins have all played organized basketball.
Trevor has too.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah they played in high school.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah they played high school ball. And I just have
very little basketball experience. But in this it happens in
this final in this final quarter, about a minute left,
the guys we had the ball, Dome crew did and
we were on their end of the court. We're kind
of passing the ball around.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, this is this is the problem. We were up
in a very close game. It was like thirty four
to like thirty problems were at the time. We were
probably which is we were up, which is why I
just kept saying, swing the ball, right. Daniel didn't listen.
I key key factor there. Daniel did not listen.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I pulled up from deep I thought I was Dame Lillard,
but I absolutely a ball. The shot it was, it
was and it was ugly.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It was also like we we had just I think
we had just gotten a rebound, and we're walking it
up pretty slow. We're using our full you know, you
get your ten seconds to get half court. We're using it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And there's no shot clocker, no shots, which is.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
The which was the problem is I just kept saying,
you know, pass the ball something like that or we
either you know, we might have been tied. Actually, like
thinking about it, you know, like one of those deals
where it's like, let's force ourselves to get to that point.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But I tried to play hero ball.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I tried to.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I wanted to put the nail in the coffin. I
wanted I wanted the dagger. Is this the dagger. It
was not the dagger. In fact, was not the dagger.
I airball that they got the ball quickly made another,
like I think they made a three.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
After that, they made they made a three.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They made something that put the game right back in contention,
and then they came and took it and we lost.
So it's not on the same level of Garrett sprinting
onto the field after we had the game ceiling pick six.
It's not on that level. But it's like it's like
i'd say, like a step or two below because it
(09:36):
was it was bad. I didn't exactly hand the game
to them, but I yeah, although I gave them a goal,
this i'd call it a washy.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Maybe not a wash But you earlier in the game
had a great play, great play, Daniel.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I did have a one nice pass.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Daniel got the ball down low, and it's like at
the sideline and I'm right under the basket.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I'm there in the paint, but man, I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
All alone too, completely alone, And Daniel's like starts. I
don't know what happened, how it happened, but you're like
falling out of bounds.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Because I was about to travel, so I was just
holding my feet.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
There he's holding his feet and he's about to fall
at a bounce and I just see him get ready
just to launch this hail Mary shot. So no path
or so he's so no travel. You know, you could
appreciate it. You can respect the man. He knows what
he needs to do. And as he's falling out of
bounce like Daniel, I'm calling for it, and Daniel just
gives me this beautiful, like falling over the head, just
(10:30):
beautiful pass hits me square in the chest. I get
that thing and I go straight up.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Easy, easy, buckey, easy too.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
When I was out the door.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Because I'm I was like I was slightly behind the yeah,
like that, I was about to fall backwards, and I
think to myself, if I attempt to shoot this ball,
I'm gonna hit the side of the backboard and be
forcibly removed from the team and it would have been justified.
So time out, take you out. I did like a soccer.
It was like a free throw. My years of soccer
benefit benefited me because I did you know soccer you
(11:00):
take the free throws to keep your feet on the
ground and you move forward and you just chuck it
as far as you can like that, and I hope
for the best. I hit the soccer style. I was like,
and it went to you and you got it easy,
too easy to So my does my one assist necessarily
erase the mistake that I made later in the game.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
No, but but it but it didn't allow for you
to have another mistake.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Correct. I wasn't completely useless because in that moment, as
much as I wanted to shoot, I wanted to throw
up a prayer and hopefully make it do the Dame
time celebration. You know, I wanted to play hero ball,
but I didn't. I resisted my urges and got that bucket,
and it helped to keep us in the game. It
was a gritty game too, because Trevor was sick. The
boys were fighting.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Barry, Trevor was sick.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, it was a rough game.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
We didn't have Alex, which is the Twins' cousin.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Right, and he's a big help.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
He's a big help. He played in Minden. For those
of you who know anything about that?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Is that Iowa.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
No, it's Nebraska. But it's like it's kind of go
to carne go a little bit for further excuse me,
and go a little bit further west. Sure, just a
little bit, a little a little bit southwest of Carney,
but that's where he played. He's a great help, especially
on like the defensive side, because I feel like sometimes
that's where we're lacking, Like I mean, like no offense.
(12:16):
But like you and Gary didn't play basketball like sometimes
so like sometimes you know, you guys just get left
alone or you get blown by because you don't really
know what's going on, which I mean to be fair,
until probably i'd say probably last year. Last year, I
didn't have a lot of understanding of what was going
on either what the what the twins and them wanted
(12:37):
from me, right, but you know, I lived since I
lived with them, and especially over that summer that I
lived with him too, and it was real easy to
be like, hey, let's go play basketball. Yeah, like we'll
go play And then he stared the chemistry stand like
like Trevor, Like Trevor knows that like if I come
set on a screen, I'm gonna slip down in a way.
I'm not gonna slip with him. You know, I'm not
(12:57):
gonna you know, curl out and look for a shot.
I'm not a three point shooter. I definitely got to
be in my mid range. I'm definitely a mid range
bag type of guy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
There's there's certainly like a little chemistry that comes in,
just like naturally being able to play with someone else
the more you practice with them, and even if it's
just like random like picking up the ball and hooping
at the y, Yeah, just like messing around wherever. Like,
when you build that chemistry, it's gonna be tough, too
tough to beat that and tough to like go, Well,
why would I go to DK to do to D
(13:24):
Money d Dizzel when I could go to the badass
himself Dylan Sash Like, it's just like i'd go, I'd
go to not me. I don't got the frame for
basketball either. Very very short, very skinny. Now Klebinski is
shorter and skinnier than I am, but he's he He's
like the lunch pale, you know, first and last aut
kind of guy. He's gritty, he.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Played, he plays to his size, he uses his advantage.
He usually sits a little bit lower. He's there force
it usually forces turnovers or at least makes them work
for it. And the only benefit that he doesn't get
is like usually you'd say size hell right, Like with
r refs, he doesn't matter. Like even though he's tiny,
(14:05):
he'd be like, ah, he should get these calls, but
they're they don't call, but they don't, but they don't
call it. They're all like, it's just size advantage. You know,
it's whatever. You know, it's a weight advantage, skilled different
like things like that, Like they're never like yeah, like
he might have gotten shoved and really gotten moved, but
like at the same time, like the problem is is
it's usually like hey, like if you're here, you need ninety.
(14:29):
You can get from pretty much the zero to ninety
you get you get grievance in when you're using your
hand to like create space and whatnot. But it's that
ninety out. But like they always are like, oh, like
Andrew from zero to ninety is getting pushed around a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
More because he weighs like one hundred twenty pounds.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, it was like one hundred and twenty pounds. If
if he's playing a kid that weighs one hundred and seventy.
I mean, that's a he's just gonna get pushed. What
are you weighing?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I'm like, I'm like, yeah, I'm like about one sixty
one six.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I mean forty pounds is even a big difference. Yeah,
And in that sense, you know, it doesn't help him, right,
This doesn't help him that he's like I think he's
like five seven.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Because literally everyone on the court outweighs Andrew, and I
would say just about everyone on the court typically out me,
even though it's not not by any mean. I'm not
saying the guys were playing are like morbidly obese. I'm
just I'm a twig because like I do the running
Dome cru basketball, Andrew, Alex and others will be in
attendance for that Thursday game. Will I be there, I'm
(15:28):
not even sure. But it doesn't get much bigger than
Dome Crue basketball. Those are the only the only sport
that I really can think of that gets bigger than
Dome Crew basketball is your Lincoln Stars, and they're on
a tear lately. They are on an absolute tear. Thursday night,
the sixth against Sue City, I was. It was a
rough game because we took the lead three nothing in
(15:49):
that first period, and I thought, okay, lights out, we're
we're done. We're putting on another masterclass. We'll run up
the goals and we'll get an easy win. Three nothing
at the end of the first and Sue City that
they scored themselves a nice little goal in the in
the second period, so I figure, okay, okay, not that
big of a deal. We still got a two goal
lead here, three to one going into the third period,
(16:10):
and then they dropped three goals, the third of which
was short handed. They scored a short handed goal in
the for the game winner, and it was what happened
was the guys they we were like, we were on
the power play, and we shoot, and we thought we
(16:30):
put the puck in the back of the net. I
saw some guys were getting excited, like hoisting their sticks.
But then all of a sudden, no whistle, Sue City
guy takes off and we were just caught off guard.
So like, Sue City guy goes down there and he
wasn't contested super heavily, so he just puts in a
nice little goal. And it was.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Rough.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I mean, you know, if you're an attackman, you should
have that every time. Yea one with the goalie.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, it was. It was rough, just getting caught off
guard like that, and the guys lost that one four
to three. It was a rough game. But the next
night we played Sioux City in Iowa and we took
him seven to two. We beat him handily. It was
that was the Lincoln Stars that like we're all used
to seeing this year because this year they've been very dominant.
They got like I think they're are either seventy five
(17:14):
or seventy seven points now they are, they're the first,
they're in first place in the entire league, not just
the West, first place in the league. And they didn't
really show it on Thursday night, but Friday night they
certainly did. They absolutely destroyed the Sioux City Musketeers. And
just last night on Saturday, they took on the Waterloo
Blackhawks here at the ice box and that was a thriller.
(17:37):
It was a three to two overtime win. And the
overtime period I was really confused at first because one
guy we had I think it was Malta, or maybe
it was Loomer who was on the breakaway. I can't remember.
Malta scored like the penalty shot, but one of them
was on like a breakaway and he got kind of
tripped up by someone chasing after him, I think, and
(17:58):
he our guy shot it and he missed, but he
kind of collided with the goalie. It was very weird,
but the refs gave him a penalty shot because they
thought that he was interfered with enough, yeah to warrant
like a free shot. So it was what you would
see in a shootout. And it was Malte who took
the shot, Matthew Malte. He took the puck from center ice,
skated down, kind of went a little to the right
of the goalie, brought it back out to the center
(18:19):
and bam, flips the dagger hit the back of the net.
Game over three to two overtime victory. So the Stars
have won, like I don't know the exact numbers, but
it's like the I think they've won like nineteen of
their last twenty two or something. The boys have been
red hot. We're looking great, We're looking absolutely fantastic. And
the biggest news of the night was at Omaha. The
(18:42):
Omaha answers, who had lost thirty or thirty one straight.
They won for the first time since November. They won.
The Omaha Answers won for the first time since I
think November sixteenth. The Omaha Answers one in overtime too.
That was a they beat Try City. Omaha finally gets
it done and gets back in the winning call them.
(19:04):
So that was the biggest news of the night overall.
But Lincoln is still red hot and we're looking to
lock up that first seed in the West. The boys
have been playing out of their minds. We'll try and
get someone on the on the podcast from the team,
but overall Stars have been looking great this week. They
play Omaha on Friday and then they take on the
(19:25):
Cedar Rapids Rough Riders on Saturday at the Icebox. It
is kind of a baller name. It's gonna be another
good weekend of Lincoln Stars Hockey as we continue that
Anderson Cup push the regular season regular seas. So we
continue that push and hope to lock up the first
seat in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Put out here all of you will remember our boy
Michael Sandric. Yes, I came on the show. Great guest.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
We love Sandy.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
One of the things that he might have said was that,
you know he might you know, potentially be the enforcer
on the team, like he might be taking care of business.
Right we've come to see that he's in fact taking
care of business. As we're looking at the stat roster
right now, he leads a team in penaltyman.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Absolutely, he's got eighty eight of them. That's that's that's eight.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Sandy's job is he's taking care of business. I mean,
he has five goals for assists. He's down there nine
points on the season.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
But like he'll put up a few points, dude, but.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
He's getting after it.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Oh, he's all about it. He doesn't he doesn't tolerate
any any disrespect whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I mean, I'm all about it.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
But that's that's the linking stars for us. A lovely,
lovely season they're putting together. Hopefully they'll bag another Anderson Cup.
I believe like there that'll be their third or fourth
Anderson Cup in team history if they managed to get
it done. But only time will tell. Only time will tell,
only time. Until then, we've got we got kind of
a score to settle, and we've we we talked about
(20:48):
this a little bit because we we did a recording
last week, but we really just didn't have that much
to talk about. I basically had nothing. We went in
with essentially zero play.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
We said, we said, we're just gonna spitball. We spitballed,
and then there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Of fluff there was. There was a lot of fluff,
and you don't always need that, No you don't. So
we figured we're going to come in here and just
you know, give it another tribe with this lovely little
conversation topic because we think it's important to discuss as Midwesterners.
I mean, we're we're both big Midwest guys. You know.
Dylan obviously born and born and raised in Omaha. Now
he's been in school here in Lincoln, and I'm born
(21:24):
and raised in Mini. Saw it that, you know, the
frozen tundra east side, tough guy town from the Saint
Paul suburbs. You know, it ain't like the Minneapolis suburbs
softened cause you know, it ain't know what and o Yzetta, Minnetonka.
It's a Woodbury, the east side, it's a it's rough
and tough over there. So I saw.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I'm say, oh that is what they say.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Man. Woodbury's got the ref But Midwesterners through and through
and I've seen a lot of a lot of people
like to complain about the actual like the states themselves
in the Midwest. Some people claim to think that they're
in the Midwest, even though they might live in like
Oklahoma or yeah, like Montana. I've seen this. I've seen
(22:07):
this everywhere, and I need to I wish I had
an image of the actual map, because I've seen like
maps where it says like this is the percentage of
people in this state who think that they live in
the Midwest. And you have like an embarrassingly high number
of people who live in states like like Oklahoma or
(22:30):
Arkansas that think that they legitimately live in the Midwest.
And it's just it's just not true. It's just not
the deal.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Those people are always like, we live in the middle
we we were in the Midwest. We have this too,
and they have like one thing happened once, like you know,
they get one blizzard, Yeah you get you get one
little snowstorm, you get two inches of snow, and you're like,
we're in a Midwest two and you're like, no, you're not,
(22:57):
yeah're not.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
It's just not true. You don't what it's like here
in Minnesota and Nebraska where you know you're in if
you got tornadoes constantly like Nebraska does, and if you
got snowfalls.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Last week, we had a blizzard for two days.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh that was terrible. That was miserable. Yeah, and that
was that was where it was. Uh. It was like
the winds were like blowing at thirty miles an hour
and the gusts were up to like sixty. It was.
It was genuinely awful. Like I took a step outside
during that and I just know couldn't deal with it.
I walked right back in. I thought maybe I could
go out and like pick up some food that night,
(23:33):
but I just I took one step outside and I said,
you know what, We're just we're going with something frozen
that's just got to stay inside. Yeah, it's mighty cold.
The overall States is something we're going to get to first.
But we got the lovely list of seasons here and
and dilly here. I'm gonna let me type this up
in the Google doc, okay, because I want to go
(23:54):
over all of the different seasons, because you think the
Midwest has four seasons until it doesn't. All right, So
the Midwest has this is and this is the Midwest
versus everyone Instagram account. We've we've looked at this before,
we've discussed it. I don't follow the page, but the
feed or the posts from this account take up like
half of my feed. And it appears to me that
(24:16):
we've got like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
thirteen seasons that we can go through in the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Thirteen seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So we're gonna rea yeap, So we're so we're gonna
we're gonna recap him here. So we have from beginning
of the year to end of the year January to December.
January December, we have winter. Okay, winter obviously everybody knows this.
We're in the Midwest. It gets cold, it's cold winter.
Then fools spring Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yep, we know all about that Spring had that maybe
what two weeks.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, you get your ebbs and your flow where it
can it can jump back up to sixty degrees. But
then bam, the third season, second winter hits where it's
absolutely freezing and it goes it goes back to the
winter that US Midwesterners have come to know and loathe. Okay,
then you've got after second winter, the spring of deception.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Which unfortunately. I think that's what we're we're in right now.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I think we are currently at the time of this
recording four forty seven PM on March ninth, I think
we're in the middle of the spring of deception.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Because right now, sixty five degrees, it's spring.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's great right now currently I.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Love sixty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Tomorrow seventy six, tomorrow seven. What it's going to jump
to seventy six.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Tomorrow Tuesday, Tuesday sixty okay, okay, like that right Wednesday
sixty seven, Yeah, Thursday seventy two, Friday sixty eight, and
then our favorite third winter, third Winter arrives Saturday high
forty six, yeah, forty six.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
And that's okay, but then it goes to the fifties
and sixties. But then it's going to go back down
next Tuesday. I think that this what we're what we're
about to get this week this seventy six, fifty eight,
sixty seven, seventy two, and that's a smoke screen, okay.
And I think that the third winter lies beyond this
weekend and early next week. I'm telling you, I think
(26:08):
spring break when we all come back from our little
vacation break and it's gonna be miserable by I just
know it. Okay, like my my Midwestern spidy senses are tingling.
It's gonna get ugly. Okay, we are in the spring
of deception, and the third winter will roll around to
kind of close out the month of March, right, and
(26:29):
then you have the pallen in. Okay, the pallen in,
the pallen in. I feel now they they go into
saying that the pallen in is followed by the mud season,
which is followed by actual spring. Look, I think the
pallen in an actual spring can basically be merged together
and just I think get rid of actual spring. The
(26:50):
Midwest doesn't even really have spring, I'd agree. I think
that the Midwest's springs are so like shortened, and they
can be so the weather can be so haphazard that
there's really not even a spring. I think that summer
is a very pronounced season. Winter is obviously a very
pronounced season, and I think even falls is a lot
(27:11):
more pronounced than spring. Because I think that the pollening,
mud season and actual spring, I almost feel like that
happens in just like two weeks and then bam, you're
getting like eighty ninety degree days.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Well, yeah, you get the you know, mud mud season
is just when it rains a lot, right, but like
at the same time it rains, but like that's also
what spring is known for. Yeah, what is it saying? Mayflower?
April showers may flower, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
What they say. So are are you? Are you? Would
you say that the Midwest does have like an actual
spring to it. No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I like the ponding, Like the ponding happens, like we
all know. When the pollending happens.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
All my allergies get bad. You bet you, I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Everybody wakes up and is like, yep, we're here. Can't
breathe out the right nosh spring.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Spring is here. Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Everybody on that first spring day calls in sick because
they feel horrible. They breathe out their nose maybe a
little scratchy throat. Everybody calls in sick.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And then the rain came.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
The rain happens. When the rain happens, honestly, you start
feeling pretty good, right, takes the palling out of the air.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Life moves on.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Until sometimes you get like freezing rain, like you'll get
you'll get rain, and it'll be spring, but you'll get
cool days, freezing rain can come down. You're really not
in spring. And I would say that by the time
the pallen in and mud season end, you kind of
reach that actual spring. But again it's like a week
or two. And then at least down in Nebraska, you
get to summer where you're getting the warm days you're
(28:42):
you're up in like the seventies and eighties, maybe even
mid to high eighties. Things are warm and it's great,
and then you have the I believe this is the
not the tenth season of the Midwest, which is Hell's
front porch. And I would say that a few Midwest
states can be excluded from this, like the North Dakota
and even Minnesota. Maybe Wisconsin doesn't get that hot in
(29:05):
the summer. Don't get me wrong. There are days where
I complain about the weather the heat in Minnesota, but
it's nothing compared to the two like weeks in August
that I'm down here here it gets hot and it's miserable.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Well it's miserable because it's still a little wet out there,
so it's like a humid hot.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yeah, it's not dry, it's sticky, sticky. It ain't like
the heat they got down in Arizona.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
The only way to south form. The only way to
solve that is to be in the water, on water,
in water, be around it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
So certainly Nebraska has a lot of water. I mean,
think of all the late Well what about all the
written Oh there's no water here.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
There's water.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You're salt creek of a pool, salt creek, okay, pool, Okay.
Sure they heard of an Antelope Creek. Yeah, boy, boy,
Antelope Creek my favorite swimming destination in all the town.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
It's about two feet wide, about three inches deep.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh, it's just splendid. Now. Sure, there's like a lot
of public pools whatever, But I love a good natural
body of water. Being from Minnesota, I love the lakes.
I love the rivers, and boy, Nebraska's got about what
like two dozen lakes and they're just reservoirs, and a
lot of them.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
They're all man made that you can swim in an day.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And and the river they got the Platte River, which
is totally dried up. Every time I drive over that
on I eighty, it is.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
It's pretty it's pretty wet right now.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I guess as of late, the all the snow that
we all the snow we've been getting, it's picking up.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
It's picking up.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
So so you got the you got the heat that
you can't avoid, the miserable, vicious heat Hell's front porch
where it can get up to like ninety five hundred
degrees days humidity where just standing outside you're sweating, right. Yeah,
Then false fall rolls around, and this is false fall
is like, this is an early this honestly, of the
(30:49):
thirteen seasons, I think false fall might be my favorite, because.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
False falls is the how to know you're in False
fall is when you know August is here, we've gone
back to college. Everybody's upset because AC's cranked as low
as it'll possibly go, Yes, sixty five degrees. Everybody's like,
thank god, it's finally cooling down, right, And then you
know you're in college. Maybe two three weeks. Yeah, boom,
football game. You go to the football game. You walk
(31:14):
outside your house and you're like, oh god. Then you
go grab my hoodie. Yeah, it's kind of cold, especially
you know that night game comes.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
The night games.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
You're out tailgating, respectfully, having a great time.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
And it can be like seventy eighty degrees and it's
like seven, yeah, exactly seventy eighty degrees.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Your shorts and short sleeves. You're sweating, right, and then
that night game hits. It's it's six, six pm.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Seven, it can dip down to literally like.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
And now you're sitting there, you're like, oh god.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Fifty even forties, forties, and it can get cold the Midwest.
You got to pack. False fall requires like realistically, like
three outfits. Oh god, yeah, because in the morning I've
had days where men, you you get up and walk
to class and you you could wear a winter coat.
Then you leave class and it could be shirt and
the shorts. False fall is just like that classic you
(32:03):
get like the first week of school. It's brutal, upper
nineties every day. Then you leave and you know you
have you have a few days of fun. The first
couple of game days are smoking hot, and then you
step outside a T shirt and shorts and when you're
walking the class in the morning and you realize I'm
freezing fall. Cold fall is finally here until it's not.
(32:25):
Second second summer rolls around and it's just more of
the same. It's just seventies and eighties, and then you
make it to actual fall. And I do think I
used to say, the first couple of years that I
went here, I felt that there was barely any fall
in Nebraska, like we basically just went straight from summer
to winter. But the past couple of years there's been
more of a fall Viobe, there's.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Never been more of a fall. It has cooled down.
But like even I say this, this year twenty twenty four,
we had more of like a wet fall, right. It
rained a lot, a lot more than I did, and
then I would.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Expect typically don't get much rain, and the farm like,
thank thank goodness for that rain because the farmers, I mean,
I feel like they they've had a lot of droughts
recently with the with how weird our weather's been, and
they they sure could use all those shots are.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
In the It was it was just like really weird
because it was like out of nowhere. It would like rain, yeah,
and it would be like, you know, it rained for
like an hour, right, and then nothing. It'd be fine,
and like two days later again it'd rain for like
an hour, right, But you would never know when it
was going to rain. Just the whole day looked like
it was going to rain, and then we'll just rain
for an hour, and then the next day it was fine.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I love a good overcast day when you can like
get cozy in the house, when it's just like, don't
get me wrong, gloomy days, I don't want them around
very often because they're gloomy and they're depressing. But every
once in a while, a nice gloomy day can really hit.
It can hit very, very nicely. We recapped a lot
of the a lot of the weather seasons that we
experienced in the Midwest, because it ain't like a lot
(33:54):
of places where like I mean, in Florida you have
one season summer hot it sucks. Texas you have, like
I been there a handful of times. Texas you have
like summer, and I well, I guess as of late
you can see winter down there. I mean, they've had
a few instances of nasty snowstart. But the Midwest states
are more prone to having a broad range of seasons
(34:16):
than any other region in the country. Now, what states
belong to this region, you might ask. There's been there's
been a lot of debate between myself and we had
a little internal debate on what states are actually in
the Midwest, because some people feel that the Midwest just
saying that the Midwest itself exists, Like that's too broad
(34:38):
of a distinction for these states. I mean, the in
the Midwest, you got twelve states as defined by you know,
the man or big government or a big mapping or
big government. Big government that's what we're calling the Census
Bureau or whoever the hell makes this. They're just big government.
So big government says that North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
(35:03):
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio
are in the Midwest. I think that I think this
this region system that we use as flawed because but
there are technically like five regions in the United States.
I believe maybe it's six. But this needs to be
(35:23):
broken up because how can you group like even uh
even like Minnesota and Nebraska. The vibes are far different, Yeah, Nebraska,
or like like North Dakota up here to like Ohio
all the way down here, get the hell out of here.
You can't put the two different in the same group.
And I guess here and in the lovely.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Like if you look at like Missouri to North Dakota.
Like I feel like often people like if you get
way down south in Missouri, people are like, oh, yeah,
you're touching the south. Yeah, You're like, you got you
can tell someone's from Missouri, right, because that's how they
say it down They.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Say, in Missouri, it ain't Missouri, it's Missouri. So and
I kind of feel the same. I feel like the
Missouri and Kansas even to a certain center, like the
gateways to the South.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
You look at that and you go like, you're gonna
tell me that Wisconsin and Michigan are similar, or excuse me,
Wisconsin and Kansas are similar?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Right?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
That don't work.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
So we have some states certainly are part of the Midwest,
like they are a handful that no one would argue
their validity of being in the Midwest. Like, Okay, South Dakota,
that's about as Midwest as it gets. Nebraska is Iowa. Iowa,
I think is the most Midwestern state that exists. I
feel like Iowa is just like the classic, most perfect
(36:42):
example of the Midwest state. So so now Nebraska Iowa,
I would even say that, like I would say Illinois,
you could throw one there too. I know they got
Chicago and some of the birds, and that's kind of
that's kind of an outlier for the true Midwestern vibe.
But Nebraska out, Dakota, Illinois, and Iowa. Those are the
(37:05):
four that I would definitively put in there. But you
were discussing almost like a little like sub region of
the North Midwest for my home state Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
When I when I'm looking at this, you come down
over there.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
No, it's dramatic. I don't like this one. We're in
the Midwest. Done.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I'd give you Great Lakes. Let's create another region and
let's call it the Great Lakes Region, the Great Lakes Region.
And we can throw Minnesota land of ten thousand lakes.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Oh, we got plenty of lakes up there, do you
bet you?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Wisconsin and Michigan, those three can be the Great Lakes Region.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Plus what about Illinois the lakes?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Illinois touching it, Illinois touching it, but like.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Indiana's touching it.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, but when you don't think of the lakes when
you think of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, that's because like Ohio
is also touching Lake Erie. Yeah, technically, like I think
of you know, I think of like Wisconsin with lakes Superior. Yeah,
you got Lake Superior. You got like Michigan. Obviously you
think of Michigan, you think of like Michigan, but then
you have the Huron like you know, you got your
(38:07):
you got your Lake Erie.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
That's That's one thing.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
I don't know. I haven't been new. I haven't been
to all of the Midwestern states, and I can't I
haven't been able to gauge the vibes within each one.
But I would say, I mean, you got Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa,
Illinois that are definitively part of the Midwest. But I
I almost think that, like you said, I actually kind
of liked the idea of I was against it at first,
(38:31):
and I think that while all these are Midwest states,
there can be little subgroups like North Dakota, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin that's like the the like Upper Midwest. You know,
I would I would, I would give you like North Dakota, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin as part of the Upper Midwest. Then I
would say minute like Michigan. And even though you technically
(38:56):
can't say that, you when you think of Indiana all
the first thing that pops in my head is the
Great Lakes. Yeah, I would say that just because of
their geographic location, I'd say Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.
I would even give those four as like the Great
Lakes Midwest, which sounds kind of jank. I know Wisconsin
and Minnesota touch Great Lakes, but yeah, i'd give Illinois
(39:21):
because they're also like a little bit further east, whereas
like Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Nodak are really far north.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Well, so I found this second land, the second place.
Apparently there was this pole I don't know it was
from Reddit, sure basically said that Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana
are the most Midwest Midwest states.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Iowa is Illinois and Indiana. Now now I think Iowa.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Is Iowa for sure, I think, But like you look
at this, I thought about this one. It's kind of
like a They also called what was Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois to be called the midland the Midland, not the
Midwest the Midland.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I actually kind of like that. There's nothing west about Illinois, Indiana,
or Ohio. There's nothing Western about exactly, and you could
say the same thing from me.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
I feel like, I feel like you could talk to
Michigan and Wisconsin in the Midland have.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Controversial.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Well like if we just like, if you let's let's
say this, you want to get rid of you want
to you want to get rid of it. Make this
the most, you know, easiest way to do things. I
would go north Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and I
don't really like it, but I'll do it. Missouri, Iowa,
and Minnesota as your midwest.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
And Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota as the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
And then your midland would be Wisconsin, Uh, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
And you what did you do for the Dakotas, Nebraska,
and Kansas.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Did you just say playing midwest Midwest?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Oh? Okay? Those four along with Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, they okay.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Basically split down the Wisconsin and Illinois border. Split that down,
go right, go left.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
If you take a look at what big government says,
or the US Census Bureau as they're often called, The
Midwest is divided by the Bureau into two divisions. The
East North Central Division includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin,
all of which are part of the Great Lakes region,
which is which I genius, I like it. The West
(41:42):
North Central Division includes Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota,
and Nebraska, several of which are located at least partly
within the Great Plains region. I think I hate grouping
the Midwest into all twelve of those states. As a Midwesterner,
I don't think it's appropriate. I like the kind of
(42:03):
subdivision that they have. I think it should be the
Great Lakes Region and Midwest. I feel like, like with
my kind of conclusion that I feel like we both
determined that there's nothing Western about Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, or Michigan.
And due to their you know, proximity with the Great Lakes,
I think that that's a whole separate thing in and
(42:24):
of itself. And you could group Wisconsin in there too,
because there's they touch a great lake. So I think
that what we're kind of what we've been working at
here is you have the seven the seven states, the
seven western most states of the Midwest. That's like the
true Midwest, right, Yeah, and then you have your Great
Lakes region in Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. And
(42:46):
that's kind of what we've been getting at. And I
think I think we've come to a pretty good solution
in that. I think though the Midwest, you can just
toss out some of those five states. The true Midwest
is the Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. You
heard here first, first groundbreaking work. I think we did
a lot for the world today, Dylan.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I think we really made some impact. I think we
really we're gonna change lives with this show, Dylan. Let's
just say that. So, if you're in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
or Michigan, you don't live in the Midwest the Great
Lakes region. Take it or leave it. That's what I
got for you. That's all I got.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Well, because I'm like thinking about it, and it's like
so many of these regions are so large, right, and
it's like how do you really break them up?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
It is tough because like you look.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
At like the South, but like the culture of like Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama,
Missouri are way different than what's in Florida, right, But
Florida is a South does it gets in that region.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
And Florida is just like an entity of its own.
That makes it really tough. I feel like Florida shouldn't
be accounted in any of the regions, but you do
make a great point. The South in and of itself,
there are various kind of vibes.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
Well, yeah, because then you have like it when you
look at it and you're like all right, well, like
you know Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, what do you
call that the Mountain rat Yeah, Mountain West, right, and
then you got Pacific Northwest of just Washington and Oregon.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Can just two states make up a region?
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Well, then here's here's the wild one. What's California. I
get that California is massive. It is like that's the problem.
They're huge.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
You could group you could cut the state up in
a four sections. Then they could each be in their
own region.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
You just cut well, because like if you go north,
you get snow basically. Now some south you're in like
the Bajas. You're in the middle. You've got like a
weird mix, but you've also got all your cities and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
You can go from. At the north, you're basically in
the Pacific Northwest. In the south, it's like desert. It
feels like you're in Arizona. I mean, I've been out
to like Palm Desert, Palm Springs. It's just sand and
cac die. There ain't much out there. But then you
get up to the central part where I haven't been,
and it's it's just different. California is different. So the
region in system within the United S dates is very flawed,
(45:01):
and it almost doesn't even because it's not even worth
giving attention to to a certain extent. I mean, as
I say, as we talked about this.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Film says it takes about ten, ten to twelve hours
to drive north to south, depending on your actual route
in California. In California, ten to twelve, ten to twelve hours,
given you what route you take. But like actual duration
could be different depending on traffic.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
And sure, sure, but like that LA traffic.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
That's a significant distance.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
That's huge for us.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
Twelve hours here pretty much gets you almost all the
way through Colorado.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah you're pretty much in Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Exactly, you're pretty much in Utah.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yeah, twelve hours if I'm driving I remebride. Our road
tripped from Woodbury, Minnesota, down to Austin, Texas, which was
a choice that me and my friends made, and twelve
hours we were basically in like the central part of Kansas,
maybe southern part of Kansas. With that route we took,
which was mostly just sitting on I thirty five, taking
(46:00):
taking a couple of detours to head to head west
a little bit to get you know, directly north of Texas,
and then just take I thirty five down. But it
was with that route we were basically into Kansas. The
thought of staying in one state driving for ten to
twelve hours is outrageous. It's crazy. It's crazy. There's a
lot a lot of ground to be covered in the
state and so much that classifying it and summing it
(46:22):
into one and into like five or so regions is
not not ifaction. It just doesn't make it just doesn't
make no sense done.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
If you want to even get more wild on it.
Imagine if you didn't have to use the state borders.
Because you didn't have to use the state borders, guess.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
What California can be divvied up.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
California can be divvied up into different ones. I think
you get a great a great lakes because like, here's
part of me, here's part of my problem. Right South Minnesota, farm.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
South Minnesota West, even a lot of northern Minnesota. Northern
Minnesota is a lot of lot of farm until you
get further east to the Great the Lakes period.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
Well, in the south you have like the South, but
then what are you doing about this little Appalachian Mountain Range,
because that's completely different.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
It just gets tossed in there.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
And then you got like the Western Frontier. But then
if you go all the way up north, like I
think you could go pretty much cut through and get
like different sections of like the quote unquote North, the
Great White North, it's like northern Montana, Coca Coak, cold.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Icy, cold, icy, worse than worse.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
And then you've got like you've got like New England.
But like when I think of New England, I've got
you know, Maine, New Hampshire, whatever. That other one is Vermont, Vermont,
thank you, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island. But then like
I'm also throwing like I'm thinking old timey thirteen colonies
when I think of New England.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Correct. And then with the even with like states down
south Florida, I've heard that like the very northern parts
of Florida is just like the most southern that you
can get, Like it's just just like exactly what you
would think of, like more on the Alabama Georgia, Arkansas,
Mississippi kind of vibes, but like the southern part of Florida, Florida,
(48:07):
it's like not at all like that at all. It's like
more like a concrete jungle with like the you know,
like Miami or either like Fort Myers or Laud you
know or whatever. But again I don't know much about
the state. But if you could do it within states,
dividing up the regions, and that would be cool.
Speaker 3 (48:25):
What are we what are we doing with the I
I just would have to assume that Alaska gets its
own and so.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Does Oh why yeah they're too, Yeah they don't. I
mean if there was if there was a place within
the forty eight contiguous states that was like Hawaii, I
would have been there yesterday. I mean, I think a
lot of people, a lot of people would it be
an old guess maybe?
Speaker 3 (48:45):
I guess maybe the only way that they're that you're
not is if is if the pricing is the same
correct true?
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Why is expensive? A lot of people want to go
out and live in a in a in a place
with the seventy seven degrees, a light breeze and uh
mostly sunny skies every day, but not a lot of
people can get it.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
It's it's tough to get cold.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
I feel like we've If we keep discussing this region debacle,
we're we're gonna get deeper in it and we're never
gonna come to a solution. It's complicated, much like many
issues are within our world. But that's what we've got
today for you guys.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
I mean, I think, pretty light episode.
Speaker 2 (49:24):
But we got some good content in here. I think
I think.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
Here's a problem. It's not much has been going on
because we're in midterm week.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Right so there's there's a lot, a lot of grinding
for you know, exams, that's what people got to do.
But my weeks haven't been that bad. But right after
spring break is when I get kicked. That's kind of
the problem that I'm having is right when we get back,
I'm gonna get my butt kicked. And it's gonna be
hard for me to go from like chill mode to
(49:51):
work mode. But we'll figure it out. Ladies and gentlemen,
you guys are awesome. Thank you so much for tuning in.
We appreciate you guys more than you'll ever know. Do Dylan,
you are not Deuce. I am Dylan Dylan. I am deuced. Dylan,
thank you so much for joining me. It's been a pleasure.
We got fifty to fifty by Vandage, released in twenty fifteen.
Closing us out reminds me of summers at the tap room.
(50:12):
Wish I could go back, but we got to move
on in life. Dylan, thank you so much for joining us.
I'm deuce. This has been Studio three one three from
the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, affectionately known as
the Code JMC. Enjoy your life, take chances, drive fast,
eat a good cheeseburger, do something for yourself. Tonight, folks,
have yourself as a lovely day.
And a.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Little something different, a little house music to kick off.
To kick off today's episode of Studio three one three,
We're coming at you, as always from Anderson Hall, the
College of Journalism and Mass Communications affectionately known as the
coch a MC, right here on the University of Nebraska
Lincoln's City campus, and we're kicking it off with it's
(00:50):
called some Nights, not to be confused with Some Nights
by Fun the one of the most iconic songs from
like our elementary school air rides say. This is some
Nights by Class Fools, released a couple of years ago.
And I love a little house music. But welcome to
another episode of Studio three one three. I'm joined as
always by my lovely co host, Dylan Sash. Dylan wearing
(01:12):
his trademark Badass hat.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
It's a signature hat for me these days.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Looking absolutely phenomenal on this lovely Sunday afternoon, on this
Sunday where it happens to be a beautiful sixty seven
degrees thank you, thank you to the Midwest, sixty seven
degrees outside. I don't even know what to do with myself.
It's well, I know what I'm gonna do with myself
after this, I'm gonna go take a little walk outside.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
It's phenomenale we spent this morning. Yeah, obviously Huskers played
basketball lost to Iowa. Not great, it was not great,
not kind of unfortunate.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah, because that knocked us out of the Big
Ten tournament, right, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Well, I guess not necessarily a hundred percent. At the
time of this recording, there's still, like I guess, a
small chance, but like not really. Yeah, there's like three
other Big Ten teams that will play, and we need
them all to lose for us to get in as
like the very bottom seed, which I just don't see that.
Yeah happening.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But but you were doing outside today.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
But yeah, we parked and walked in and like even
this morning, the game was at eleven thirty. We got
there probably about ten forty five. Sure, parked and walked
in and it was just beautiful. I mean that walk
was gorgeous. It was the perfect time, like perfect weather
the whole way. And then you get out of the
basketball game and you're like you're walking back to your
car and it's like, oh, dude, shorts, hoodie, it feels
(02:32):
like summer chilling, Like yeah, it feels like summer. I mean, like,
right now, what is it sixty some degrees? I my
phone says sixty five.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Degrees sixty five, So we're in the mid sixties, and
it's it's truly like, drop everything that you're doing. Alert
the media because it's so beautiful outside. Now. Unfortunately, I
don't think that. I don't think we're in the clear yet.
I think we're I think we're in for some more
nasty cold days. My my, my Midwest instincts are just
(02:58):
telling me that we're we're not out of the woods yet.
I think we're gonna get some nasty weather. I feel
like this this upcoming week is supposed to be all
sixties and seventies, but boy, I think it's gonna get
dropped down to like the forties again in a little bit.
Like probably not this upcoming week, but next week. By
the way, it's March ninth at the time of our recording,
so the week of the tenth to the fifteenth or so,
(03:20):
I think we're good. But spring break week it might
actually get a little bit cooler. So we'll see, we'll see.
We might be in for some more rough weather, hopefully
not as rough as the eat Nebraska basketball performance today
and it was just it's not even anything to talk about.
I'm really just depressed even thinking about it. But one
(03:41):
team at the University of Nebraska Lincoln that plays basketball
pretty well a majority of the time except for except
for a couple of players like myself.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
There's a couple of players out there.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Don't really do. I'm not a great player, I'm not
a great hooper. I am the week link of Dome
Crew basketball. And we've played two games so far this season,
and the first game was very successful. I mean we
won that one. It was relatively close throughout, like the
other team had us on our toes for like the
first Like I'd say, because they used to do the
(04:16):
games by halves, two halves, now they do four quarters.
It used to be two was it eighteen minute halves
or twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Two twenty minute halves? There's two twenty minute halves and
the clock just ran allways. Now it's four four nine,
four nine minute quarters, right, which like, yes, we lost
two minutes of game time, but like also at the
same time, like the game time didn't change much like
two minutes. You're right, it is a little unfortunate, but
(04:44):
like also at the same time, I think the play
style definitely benefits some smaller teams, Like i'd consider don't
crew a smaller.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Team, we are wor smaller team.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
We usually have anywhere from five to eight guys. Yeah,
and then like unfortunately the team that we just played
had like fifteen guys, so they had to ross completely unfair. Yeah,
but like for a team like us, now we get
a minute break. We get about one minute between the
first quarter and second quarter, and then we still get
(05:14):
usually like our three to five minute break between halves,
so it kind of bounces out and it allows you know,
like we get the break, but then like we can
sub out without burning a timeout or anything like that.
Like I think it benefits us. My only only downfall
I think is like free throws, but not really like
the teams are complaining about it, but like also at
(05:34):
the same time, like it's no different than the last
time we did free throws, not really like I would
say that two minutes at You're lost was like lost
to free throw shooting anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, but anyways, it's four nine minute quarters now versus
two twenty minute halves, and our first game we were successful.
They the team had us like they were there. It
was pretty close throughout, but then in the third and
fourth quarter we pulled away. I mean the Twins were
red hot shooting from deep. Uh, they were pretty much
unstoppable from three.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Most definitely Soden Braiden went on one pretty nice little
run there.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Brand did have a great game because he I just
kept calling him Wemby from the sidelines because he was
he was in that Webby jersey.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
He's got jersey on, which I think is just so funny.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Because he's knocking down three.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
He's just he's just shooting them too, like he just
doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
So, yeah, he had a great game and that was
kind of what bolstered us to our It was like
a ten or twelve point victory in that first game.
The second game was not as successful. And this is
because now not this is not all because of the
difference in team sizes, but the other team had literally
like twelve dudes on it and we had seven. I
(06:45):
think I think we literally had two subs and that
was it. And I mean, I am basically not I
don't even really count when I'm on the court because
all I kind of do is just run around in
circles and try and tire out the opposing team. That's
all I'm really good for. I can make like a
pass every once in a while, but I'm not a shooter.
I can't I can't really dribble with Well.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
We learned that Daniel wasn't a shooter this game.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
No, we we learned that I'm not a shooter, and
that's because it was what it was tied, like, I
don't remember what the score was, but the game was
tied with a minute or so left in the fourth quarter.
I probably should have just totally removed myself from the
situation because myself and crunch time in basketball don't really
go together. Football is a little bay football.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Daniel's there in crunch time.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Plays yeah football, I can make plays like I actually
kind of know what I'm doing because, like football is,
it's something that I did like a lot of backyard
football with my buddies, whereas like I didn't do much
pick up basketball with friends, whereas a lot of other
people did. And the twins have all played organized basketball.
Trevor has too.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Yeah they played in high school.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah they played high school ball. And I just have
very little basketball experience. But in this it happens in
this final in this final quarter, about a minute left,
the guys we had the ball, Dome crew did and
we were on their end of the court. We're kind
of passing the ball around.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, this is this is the problem. We were up
in a very close game. It was like thirty four
to like thirty problems were at the time. We were
probably which is we were up, which is why I
just kept saying, swing the ball, right. Daniel didn't listen.
I key key factor there. Daniel did not listen.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I pulled up from deep I thought I was Dame Lillard,
but I absolutely a ball. The shot it was, it
was and it was ugly.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
It was also like we we had just I think
we had just gotten a rebound, and we're walking it
up pretty slow. We're using our full you know, you
get your ten seconds to get half court. We're using it.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And there's no shot clocker, no shots, which is.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
The which was the problem is I just kept saying,
you know, pass the ball something like that or we
either you know, we might have been tied. Actually, like
thinking about it, you know, like one of those deals
where it's like, let's force ourselves to get to that point.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But I tried to play hero ball.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
I tried to.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I wanted to put the nail in the coffin. I
wanted I wanted the dagger. Is this the dagger. It
was not the dagger. In fact, was not the dagger.
I airball that they got the ball quickly made another,
like I think they made a three.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
After that, they made they made a three.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
They made something that put the game right back in contention,
and then they came and took it and we lost.
So it's not on the same level of Garrett sprinting
onto the field after we had the game ceiling pick six.
It's not on that level. But it's like it's like
i'd say, like a step or two below because it
(09:36):
was it was bad. I didn't exactly hand the game
to them, but I yeah, although I gave them a goal,
this i'd call it a washy.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Maybe not a wash But you earlier in the game
had a great play, great play, Daniel.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
I did have a one nice pass.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Daniel got the ball down low, and it's like at
the sideline and I'm right under the basket.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I'm there in the paint, but man, I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
All alone too, completely alone, And Daniel's like starts. I
don't know what happened, how it happened, but you're like
falling out of bounds.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Because I was about to travel, so I was just
holding my feet.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
There he's holding his feet and he's about to fall
at a bounce and I just see him get ready
just to launch this hail Mary shot. So no path
or so he's so no travel. You know, you could
appreciate it. You can respect the man. He knows what
he needs to do. And as he's falling out of
bounce like Daniel, I'm calling for it, and Daniel just
gives me this beautiful, like falling over the head, just
(10:30):
beautiful pass hits me square in the chest. I get
that thing and I go straight up.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Easy, easy, buckey, easy too.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
When I was out the door.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Because I'm I was like I was slightly behind the yeah,
like that, I was about to fall backwards, and I
think to myself, if I attempt to shoot this ball,
I'm gonna hit the side of the backboard and be
forcibly removed from the team and it would have been justified.
So time out, take you out. I did like a soccer.
It was like a free throw. My years of soccer
benefit benefited me because I did you know soccer you
(11:00):
take the free throws to keep your feet on the
ground and you move forward and you just chuck it
as far as you can like that, and I hope
for the best. I hit the soccer style. I was like,
and it went to you and you got it easy,
too easy to So my does my one assist necessarily
erase the mistake that I made later in the game.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
No, but but it but it didn't allow for you
to have another mistake.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Correct. I wasn't completely useless because in that moment, as
much as I wanted to shoot, I wanted to throw
up a prayer and hopefully make it do the Dame
time celebration. You know, I wanted to play hero ball,
but I didn't. I resisted my urges and got that bucket,
and it helped to keep us in the game. It
was a gritty game too, because Trevor was sick. The
boys were fighting.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Barry, Trevor was sick.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yeah, it was a rough game.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
We didn't have Alex, which is the Twins' cousin.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Right, and he's a big help.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
He's a big help. He played in Minden. For those
of you who know anything about that?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Is that Iowa.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
No, it's Nebraska. But it's like it's kind of go
to carne go a little bit for further excuse me,
and go a little bit further west. Sure, just a
little bit, a little a little bit southwest of Carney,
but that's where he played. He's a great help, especially
on like the defensive side, because I feel like sometimes
that's where we're lacking, Like I mean, like no offense.
(12:16):
But like you and Gary didn't play basketball like sometimes
so like sometimes you know, you guys just get left
alone or you get blown by because you don't really
know what's going on, which I mean to be fair,
until probably i'd say probably last year. Last year, I
didn't have a lot of understanding of what was going
on either what the what the twins and them wanted
(12:37):
from me, right, but you know, I lived since I
lived with them, and especially over that summer that I
lived with him too, and it was real easy to
be like, hey, let's go play basketball. Yeah, like we'll
go play And then he stared the chemistry stand like
like Trevor, Like Trevor knows that like if I come
set on a screen, I'm gonna slip down in a way.
I'm not gonna slip with him. You know, I'm not
(12:57):
gonna you know, curl out and look for a shot.
I'm not a three point shooter. I definitely got to
be in my mid range. I'm definitely a mid range
bag type of guy.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
There's there's certainly like a little chemistry that comes in,
just like naturally being able to play with someone else
the more you practice with them, and even if it's
just like random like picking up the ball and hooping
at the y, Yeah, just like messing around wherever. Like,
when you build that chemistry, it's gonna be tough, too
tough to beat that and tough to like go, Well,
why would I go to DK to do to D
(13:24):
Money d Dizzel when I could go to the badass
himself Dylan Sash Like, it's just like i'd go, I'd
go to not me. I don't got the frame for
basketball either. Very very short, very skinny. Now Klebinski is
shorter and skinnier than I am, but he's he He's
like the lunch pale, you know, first and last aut
kind of guy. He's gritty, he.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Played, he plays to his size, he uses his advantage.
He usually sits a little bit lower. He's there force
it usually forces turnovers or at least makes them work
for it. And the only benefit that he doesn't get
is like usually you'd say size hell right, Like with
r refs, he doesn't matter. Like even though he's tiny,
(14:05):
he'd be like, ah, he should get these calls, but
they're they don't call, but they don't, but they don't
call it. They're all like, it's just size advantage. You know,
it's whatever. You know, it's a weight advantage, skilled different
like things like that, Like they're never like yeah, like
he might have gotten shoved and really gotten moved, but
like at the same time, like the problem is is
it's usually like hey, like if you're here, you need ninety.
(14:29):
You can get from pretty much the zero to ninety
you get you get grievance in when you're using your
hand to like create space and whatnot. But it's that
ninety out. But like they always are like, oh, like
Andrew from zero to ninety is getting pushed around a lot.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
More because he weighs like one hundred twenty pounds.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yeah, it was like one hundred and twenty pounds. If
if he's playing a kid that weighs one hundred and seventy.
I mean, that's a he's just gonna get pushed. What
are you weighing?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I'm like, I'm like, yeah, I'm like about one sixty
one six.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I mean forty pounds is even a big difference. Yeah,
And in that sense, you know, it doesn't help him, right,
This doesn't help him that he's like I think he's
like five seven.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Because literally everyone on the court outweighs Andrew, and I
would say just about everyone on the court typically out me,
even though it's not not by any mean. I'm not
saying the guys were playing are like morbidly obese. I'm
just I'm a twig because like I do the running
Dome cru basketball, Andrew, Alex and others will be in
attendance for that Thursday game. Will I be there, I'm
(15:28):
not even sure. But it doesn't get much bigger than
Dome Crue basketball. Those are the only the only sport
that I really can think of that gets bigger than
Dome Crew basketball is your Lincoln Stars, and they're on
a tear lately. They are on an absolute tear. Thursday night,
the sixth against Sue City, I was. It was a
rough game because we took the lead three nothing in
(15:49):
that first period, and I thought, okay, lights out, we're
we're done. We're putting on another masterclass. We'll run up
the goals and we'll get an easy win. Three nothing
at the end of the first and Sue City that
they scored themselves a nice little goal in the in
the second period, so I figure, okay, okay, not that
big of a deal. We still got a two goal
lead here, three to one going into the third period,
(16:10):
and then they dropped three goals, the third of which
was short handed. They scored a short handed goal in
the for the game winner, and it was what happened
was the guys they we were like, we were on
the power play, and we shoot, and we thought we
(16:30):
put the puck in the back of the net. I
saw some guys were getting excited, like hoisting their sticks.
But then all of a sudden, no whistle, Sue City
guy takes off and we were just caught off guard.
So like, Sue City guy goes down there and he
wasn't contested super heavily, so he just puts in a
nice little goal. And it was.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Rough.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I mean, you know, if you're an attackman, you should
have that every time. Yea one with the goalie.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, it was. It was rough, just getting caught off
guard like that, and the guys lost that one four
to three. It was a rough game. But the next
night we played Sioux City in Iowa and we took
him seven to two. We beat him handily. It was
that was the Lincoln Stars that like we're all used
to seeing this year because this year they've been very dominant.
They got like I think they're are either seventy five
(17:14):
or seventy seven points now they are, they're the first,
they're in first place in the entire league, not just
the West, first place in the league. And they didn't
really show it on Thursday night, but Friday night they
certainly did. They absolutely destroyed the Sioux City Musketeers. And
just last night on Saturday, they took on the Waterloo
Blackhawks here at the ice box and that was a thriller.
(17:37):
It was a three to two overtime win. And the
overtime period I was really confused at first because one
guy we had I think it was Malta, or maybe
it was Loomer who was on the breakaway. I can't remember.
Malta scored like the penalty shot, but one of them
was on like a breakaway and he got kind of
tripped up by someone chasing after him, I think, and
(17:58):
he our guy shot it and he missed, but he
kind of collided with the goalie. It was very weird,
but the refs gave him a penalty shot because they
thought that he was interfered with enough, yeah to warrant
like a free shot. So it was what you would
see in a shootout. And it was Malte who took
the shot, Matthew Malte. He took the puck from center ice,
skated down, kind of went a little to the right
of the goalie, brought it back out to the center
(18:19):
and bam, flips the dagger hit the back of the net.
Game over three to two overtime victory. So the Stars
have won, like I don't know the exact numbers, but
it's like the I think they've won like nineteen of
their last twenty two or something. The boys have been
red hot. We're looking great, We're looking absolutely fantastic. And
the biggest news of the night was at Omaha. The
(18:42):
Omaha answers, who had lost thirty or thirty one straight.
They won for the first time since November. They won.
The Omaha Answers won for the first time since I
think November sixteenth. The Omaha Answers one in overtime too.
That was a they beat Try City. Omaha finally gets
it done and gets back in the winning call them.
(19:04):
So that was the biggest news of the night overall.
But Lincoln is still red hot and we're looking to
lock up that first seed in the West. The boys
have been playing out of their minds. We'll try and
get someone on the on the podcast from the team,
but overall Stars have been looking great this week. They
play Omaha on Friday and then they take on the
(19:25):
Cedar Rapids Rough Riders on Saturday at the Icebox. It
is kind of a baller name. It's gonna be another
good weekend of Lincoln Stars Hockey as we continue that
Anderson Cup push the regular season regular seas. So we
continue that push and hope to lock up the first
seat in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Put out here all of you will remember our boy
Michael Sandric. Yes, I came on the show. Great guest.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
We love Sandy.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
One of the things that he might have said was that,
you know he might you know, potentially be the enforcer
on the team, like he might be taking care of business.
Right we've come to see that he's in fact taking
care of business. As we're looking at the stat roster
right now, he leads a team in penaltyman.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Absolutely, he's got eighty eight of them. That's that's that's eight.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Sandy's job is he's taking care of business. I mean,
he has five goals for assists. He's down there nine
points on the season.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
But like he'll put up a few points, dude, but.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
He's getting after it.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Oh, he's all about it. He doesn't he doesn't tolerate
any any disrespect whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I mean, I'm all about it.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
But that's that's the linking stars for us. A lovely,
lovely season they're putting together. Hopefully they'll bag another Anderson Cup.
I believe like there that'll be their third or fourth
Anderson Cup in team history if they managed to get
it done. But only time will tell. Only time will tell,
only time. Until then, we've got we got kind of
a score to settle, and we've we we talked about
(20:48):
this a little bit because we we did a recording
last week, but we really just didn't have that much
to talk about. I basically had nothing. We went in
with essentially zero play.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
We said, we said, we're just gonna spitball. We spitballed,
and then there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Of fluff there was. There was a lot of fluff,
and you don't always need that, No you don't. So
we figured we're going to come in here and just
you know, give it another tribe with this lovely little
conversation topic because we think it's important to discuss as Midwesterners.
I mean, we're we're both big Midwest guys. You know.
Dylan obviously born and born and raised in Omaha. Now
he's been in school here in Lincoln, and I'm born
(21:24):
and raised in Mini. Saw it that, you know, the
frozen tundra east side, tough guy town from the Saint
Paul suburbs. You know, it ain't like the Minneapolis suburbs
softened cause you know, it ain't know what and o Yzetta, Minnetonka.
It's a Woodbury, the east side, it's a it's rough
and tough over there. So I saw.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
I'm say, oh that is what they say.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Man. Woodbury's got the ref But Midwesterners through and through
and I've seen a lot of a lot of people
like to complain about the actual like the states themselves
in the Midwest. Some people claim to think that they're
in the Midwest, even though they might live in like
Oklahoma or yeah, like Montana. I've seen this. I've seen
(22:07):
this everywhere, and I need to I wish I had
an image of the actual map, because I've seen like
maps where it says like this is the percentage of
people in this state who think that they live in
the Midwest. And you have like an embarrassingly high number
of people who live in states like like Oklahoma or
(22:30):
Arkansas that think that they legitimately live in the Midwest.
And it's just it's just not true. It's just not
the deal.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Those people are always like, we live in the middle
we we were in the Midwest. We have this too,
and they have like one thing happened once, like you know,
they get one blizzard, Yeah you get you get one
little snowstorm, you get two inches of snow, and you're like,
we're in a Midwest two and you're like, no, you're not,
(22:57):
yeah're not.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
It's just not true. You don't what it's like here
in Minnesota and Nebraska where you know you're in if
you got tornadoes constantly like Nebraska does, and if you
got snowfalls.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Last week, we had a blizzard for two days.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh that was terrible. That was miserable. Yeah, and that
was that was where it was. Uh. It was like
the winds were like blowing at thirty miles an hour
and the gusts were up to like sixty. It was.
It was genuinely awful. Like I took a step outside
during that and I just know couldn't deal with it.
I walked right back in. I thought maybe I could
go out and like pick up some food that night,
(23:33):
but I just I took one step outside and I said,
you know what, We're just we're going with something frozen
that's just got to stay inside. Yeah, it's mighty cold.
The overall States is something we're going to get to first.
But we got the lovely list of seasons here and
and dilly here. I'm gonna let me type this up
in the Google doc, okay, because I want to go
(23:54):
over all of the different seasons, because you think the
Midwest has four seasons until it doesn't. All right, So
the Midwest has this is and this is the Midwest
versus everyone Instagram account. We've we've looked at this before,
we've discussed it. I don't follow the page, but the
feed or the posts from this account take up like
half of my feed. And it appears to me that
(24:16):
we've got like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
thirteen seasons that we can go through in the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Thirteen seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So we're gonna rea yeap, So we're so we're gonna
we're gonna recap him here. So we have from beginning
of the year to end of the year January to December.
January December, we have winter. Okay, winter obviously everybody knows this.
We're in the Midwest. It gets cold, it's cold winter.
Then fools spring Okay.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Yep, we know all about that Spring had that maybe
what two weeks.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, you get your ebbs and your flow where it
can it can jump back up to sixty degrees. But
then bam, the third season, second winter hits where it's
absolutely freezing and it goes it goes back to the
winter that US Midwesterners have come to know and loathe. Okay,
then you've got after second winter, the spring of deception.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Which unfortunately. I think that's what we're we're in right now.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I think we are currently at the time of this
recording four forty seven PM on March ninth, I think
we're in the middle of the spring of deception.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Because right now, sixty five degrees, it's spring.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
It's great right now currently I.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Love sixty five degrees.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Tomorrow seventy six, tomorrow seven. What it's going to jump
to seventy six.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Tomorrow Tuesday, Tuesday sixty okay, okay, like that right Wednesday
sixty seven, Yeah, Thursday seventy two, Friday sixty eight, and
then our favorite third winter, third Winter arrives Saturday high
forty six, yeah, forty six.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
And that's okay, but then it goes to the fifties
and sixties. But then it's going to go back down
next Tuesday. I think that this what we're what we're
about to get this week this seventy six, fifty eight,
sixty seven, seventy two, and that's a smoke screen, okay.
And I think that the third winter lies beyond this
weekend and early next week. I'm telling you, I think
(26:08):
spring break when we all come back from our little
vacation break and it's gonna be miserable by I just
know it. Okay, like my my Midwestern spidy senses are tingling.
It's gonna get ugly. Okay, we are in the spring
of deception, and the third winter will roll around to
kind of close out the month of March, right, and
(26:29):
then you have the pallen in. Okay, the pallen in,
the pallen in. I feel now they they go into
saying that the pallen in is followed by the mud season,
which is followed by actual spring. Look, I think the
pallen in an actual spring can basically be merged together
and just I think get rid of actual spring. The
(26:50):
Midwest doesn't even really have spring, I'd agree. I think
that the Midwest's springs are so like shortened, and they
can be so the weather can be so haphazard that
there's really not even a spring. I think that summer
is a very pronounced season. Winter is obviously a very
pronounced season, and I think even falls is a lot
(27:11):
more pronounced than spring. Because I think that the pollening,
mud season and actual spring, I almost feel like that
happens in just like two weeks and then bam, you're
getting like eighty ninety degree days.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Well, yeah, you get the you know, mud mud season
is just when it rains a lot, right, but like
at the same time it rains, but like that's also
what spring is known for. Yeah, what is it saying? Mayflower?
April showers may flower, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
What they say. So are are you? Are you? Would
you say that the Midwest does have like an actual
spring to it. No, I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I like the ponding, Like the ponding happens, like we
all know. When the pollending happens.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
All my allergies get bad. You bet you, I get it.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Everybody wakes up and is like, yep, we're here. Can't
breathe out the right nosh spring.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Spring is here. Oh boy.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Everybody on that first spring day calls in sick because
they feel horrible. They breathe out their nose maybe a
little scratchy throat. Everybody calls in sick.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And then the rain came.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
The rain happens. When the rain happens, honestly, you start
feeling pretty good, right, takes the palling out of the air.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Life moves on.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Until sometimes you get like freezing rain, like you'll get
you'll get rain, and it'll be spring, but you'll get
cool days, freezing rain can come down. You're really not
in spring. And I would say that by the time
the pallen in and mud season end, you kind of
reach that actual spring. But again it's like a week
or two. And then at least down in Nebraska, you
get to summer where you're getting the warm days you're
(28:42):
you're up in like the seventies and eighties, maybe even
mid to high eighties. Things are warm and it's great,
and then you have the I believe this is the
not the tenth season of the Midwest, which is Hell's
front porch. And I would say that a few Midwest
states can be excluded from this, like the North Dakota
and even Minnesota. Maybe Wisconsin doesn't get that hot in
(29:05):
the summer. Don't get me wrong. There are days where
I complain about the weather the heat in Minnesota, but
it's nothing compared to the two like weeks in August
that I'm down here here it gets hot and it's miserable.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Well it's miserable because it's still a little wet out there,
so it's like a humid hot.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yeah, it's not dry, it's sticky, sticky. It ain't like
the heat they got down in Arizona.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
The only way to south form. The only way to
solve that is to be in the water, on water,
in water, be around it.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
So certainly Nebraska has a lot of water. I mean,
think of all the late Well what about all the
written Oh there's no water here.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
There's water.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You're salt creek of a pool, salt creek, okay, pool, Okay.
Sure they heard of an Antelope Creek. Yeah, boy, boy,
Antelope Creek my favorite swimming destination in all the town.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
It's about two feet wide, about three inches deep.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Oh, it's just splendid. Now. Sure, there's like a lot
of public pools whatever, But I love a good natural
body of water. Being from Minnesota, I love the lakes.
I love the rivers, and boy, Nebraska's got about what
like two dozen lakes and they're just reservoirs, and a
lot of them.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
They're all man made that you can swim in an day.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And and the river they got the Platte River, which
is totally dried up. Every time I drive over that
on I eighty, it is.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
It's pretty it's pretty wet right now.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
I guess as of late, the all the snow that
we all the snow we've been getting, it's picking up.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
It's picking up.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
So so you got the you got the heat that
you can't avoid, the miserable, vicious heat Hell's front porch
where it can get up to like ninety five hundred
degrees days humidity where just standing outside you're sweating, right. Yeah,
Then false fall rolls around, and this is false fall
is like, this is an early this honestly, of the
(30:49):
thirteen seasons, I think false fall might be my favorite, because.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
False falls is the how to know you're in False
fall is when you know August is here, we've gone
back to college. Everybody's upset because AC's cranked as low
as it'll possibly go, Yes, sixty five degrees. Everybody's like,
thank god, it's finally cooling down, right, And then you
know you're in college. Maybe two three weeks. Yeah, boom,
football game. You go to the football game. You walk
(31:14):
outside your house and you're like, oh god. Then you
go grab my hoodie. Yeah, it's kind of cold, especially
you know that night game comes.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
The night games.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
You're out tailgating, respectfully, having a great time.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
And it can be like seventy eighty degrees and it's
like seven, yeah, exactly seventy eighty degrees.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Your shorts and short sleeves. You're sweating, right, and then
that night game hits. It's it's six, six pm.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Seven, it can dip down to literally like.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
And now you're sitting there, you're like, oh god.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Fifty even forties, forties, and it can get cold the Midwest.
You got to pack. False fall requires like realistically, like
three outfits. Oh god, yeah, because in the morning I've
had days where men, you you get up and walk
to class and you you could wear a winter coat.
Then you leave class and it could be shirt and
the shorts. False fall is just like that classic you
(32:03):
get like the first week of school. It's brutal, upper
nineties every day. Then you leave and you know you
have you have a few days of fun. The first
couple of game days are smoking hot, and then you
step outside a T shirt and shorts and when you're
walking the class in the morning and you realize I'm
freezing fall. Cold fall is finally here until it's not.
(32:25):
Second second summer rolls around and it's just more of
the same. It's just seventies and eighties, and then you
make it to actual fall. And I do think I
used to say, the first couple of years that I
went here, I felt that there was barely any fall
in Nebraska, like we basically just went straight from summer
to winter. But the past couple of years there's been
more of a fall Viobe, there's.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Never been more of a fall. It has cooled down.
But like even I say this, this year twenty twenty four,
we had more of like a wet fall, right. It
rained a lot, a lot more than I did, and
then I would.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Expect typically don't get much rain, and the farm like,
thank thank goodness for that rain because the farmers, I mean,
I feel like they they've had a lot of droughts
recently with the with how weird our weather's been, and
they they sure could use all those shots are.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
In the It was it was just like really weird
because it was like out of nowhere. It would like rain, yeah,
and it would be like, you know, it rained for
like an hour, right, and then nothing. It'd be fine,
and like two days later again it'd rain for like
an hour, right, But you would never know when it
was going to rain. Just the whole day looked like
it was going to rain, and then we'll just rain
for an hour, and then the next day it was fine.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I love a good overcast day when you can like
get cozy in the house, when it's just like, don't
get me wrong, gloomy days, I don't want them around
very often because they're gloomy and they're depressing. But every
once in a while, a nice gloomy day can really hit.
It can hit very, very nicely. We recapped a lot
of the a lot of the weather seasons that we
experienced in the Midwest, because it ain't like a lot
(33:54):
of places where like I mean, in Florida you have
one season summer hot it sucks. Texas you have, like
I been there a handful of times. Texas you have
like summer, and I well, I guess as of late
you can see winter down there. I mean, they've had
a few instances of nasty snowstart. But the Midwest states
are more prone to having a broad range of seasons
(34:16):
than any other region in the country. Now, what states
belong to this region, you might ask. There's been there's
been a lot of debate between myself and we had
a little internal debate on what states are actually in
the Midwest, because some people feel that the Midwest just
saying that the Midwest itself exists, Like that's too broad
(34:38):
of a distinction for these states. I mean, the in
the Midwest, you got twelve states as defined by you know,
the man or big government or a big mapping or
big government. Big government that's what we're calling the Census
Bureau or whoever the hell makes this. They're just big government.
So big government says that North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan,
(35:03):
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio
are in the Midwest. I think that I think this
this region system that we use as flawed because but
there are technically like five regions in the United States.
I believe maybe it's six. But this needs to be
(35:23):
broken up because how can you group like even uh
even like Minnesota and Nebraska. The vibes are far different, Yeah, Nebraska,
or like like North Dakota up here to like Ohio
all the way down here, get the hell out of here.
You can't put the two different in the same group.
And I guess here and in the lovely.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
Like if you look at like Missouri to North Dakota.
Like I feel like often people like if you get
way down south in Missouri, people are like, oh, yeah,
you're touching the south. Yeah, You're like, you got you
can tell someone's from Missouri, right, because that's how they
say it down They.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Say, in Missouri, it ain't Missouri, it's Missouri. So and
I kind of feel the same. I feel like the
Missouri and Kansas even to a certain center, like the
gateways to the South.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
You look at that and you go like, you're gonna
tell me that Wisconsin and Michigan are similar, or excuse me,
Wisconsin and Kansas are similar?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Right?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
That don't work.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
So we have some states certainly are part of the Midwest,
like they are a handful that no one would argue
their validity of being in the Midwest. Like, Okay, South Dakota,
that's about as Midwest as it gets. Nebraska is Iowa. Iowa,
I think is the most Midwestern state that exists. I
feel like Iowa is just like the classic, most perfect
(36:42):
example of the Midwest state. So so now Nebraska Iowa,
I would even say that, like I would say Illinois,
you could throw one there too. I know they got
Chicago and some of the birds, and that's kind of
that's kind of an outlier for the true Midwestern vibe.
But Nebraska out, Dakota, Illinois, and Iowa. Those are the
(37:05):
four that I would definitively put in there. But you
were discussing almost like a little like sub region of
the North Midwest for my home state Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
When I when I'm looking at this, you come down
over there.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
No, it's dramatic. I don't like this one. We're in
the Midwest. Done.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I'd give you Great Lakes. Let's create another region and
let's call it the Great Lakes Region, the Great Lakes Region.
And we can throw Minnesota land of ten thousand lakes.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Oh, we got plenty of lakes up there, do you
bet you?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Wisconsin and Michigan, those three can be the Great Lakes Region.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Plus what about Illinois the lakes?
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Illinois touching it, Illinois touching it, but like.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
Indiana's touching it.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, but when you don't think of the lakes when
you think of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, that's because like Ohio
is also touching Lake Erie. Yeah, technically, like I think
of you know, I think of like Wisconsin with lakes Superior. Yeah,
you got Lake Superior. You got like Michigan. Obviously you
think of Michigan, you think of like Michigan, but then
you have the Huron like you know, you got your
(38:07):
you got your Lake Erie.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
You know.
Speaker 3 (38:09):
That's That's one thing.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
I don't know. I haven't been new. I haven't been
to all of the Midwestern states, and I can't I
haven't been able to gauge the vibes within each one.
But I would say, I mean, you got Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa,
Illinois that are definitively part of the Midwest. But I
I almost think that, like you said, I actually kind
of liked the idea of I was against it at first,
(38:31):
and I think that while all these are Midwest states,
there can be little subgroups like North Dakota, Minnesota, and
Wisconsin that's like the the like Upper Midwest. You know,
I would I would, I would give you like North Dakota, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin as part of the Upper Midwest. Then I
would say minute like Michigan. And even though you technically
(38:56):
can't say that, you when you think of Indiana all
the first thing that pops in my head is the
Great Lakes. Yeah, I would say that just because of
their geographic location, I'd say Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.
I would even give those four as like the Great
Lakes Midwest, which sounds kind of jank. I know Wisconsin
and Minnesota touch Great Lakes, but yeah, i'd give Illinois
(39:21):
because they're also like a little bit further east, whereas
like Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Nodak are really far north.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Well, so I found this second land, the second place.
Apparently there was this pole I don't know it was
from Reddit, sure basically said that Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana
are the most Midwest Midwest states.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Iowa is Illinois and Indiana. Now now I think Iowa.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
Is Iowa for sure, I think, But like you look
at this, I thought about this one. It's kind of
like a They also called what was Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois to be called the midland the Midland, not the
Midwest the Midland.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I actually kind of like that. There's nothing west about Illinois, Indiana,
or Ohio. There's nothing Western about exactly, and you could
say the same thing from me.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
I feel like, I feel like you could talk to
Michigan and Wisconsin in the Midland have.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Controversial.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
Well like if we just like, if you let's let's
say this, you want to get rid of you want
to you want to get rid of it. Make this
the most, you know, easiest way to do things. I
would go north Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and I
don't really like it, but I'll do it. Missouri, Iowa,
and Minnesota as your midwest.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
And Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota as the Midwest.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
And then your midland would be Wisconsin, Uh, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
And you what did you do for the Dakotas, Nebraska,
and Kansas.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Did you just say playing midwest Midwest?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Oh? Okay? Those four along with Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, they okay.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Basically split down the Wisconsin and Illinois border. Split that down,
go right, go left.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
If you take a look at what big government says,
or the US Census Bureau as they're often called, The
Midwest is divided by the Bureau into two divisions. The
East North Central Division includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin,
all of which are part of the Great Lakes region,
which is which I genius, I like it. The West
(41:42):
North Central Division includes Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota,
and Nebraska, several of which are located at least partly
within the Great Plains region. I think I hate grouping
the Midwest into all twelve of those states. As a Midwesterner,
I don't think it's appropriate. I like the kind of
(42:03):
subdivision that they have. I think it should be the
Great Lakes Region and Midwest. I feel like, like with
my kind of conclusion that I feel like we both
determined that there's nothing Western about Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, or Michigan.
And due to their you know, proximity with the Great Lakes,
I think that that's a whole separate thing in and
(42:24):
of itself. And you could group Wisconsin in there too,
because there's they touch a great lake. So I think
that what we're kind of what we've been working at
here is you have the seven the seven states, the
seven western most states of the Midwest. That's like the
true Midwest, right, Yeah, and then you have your Great
Lakes region in Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. And
(42:46):
that's kind of what we've been getting at. And I
think I think we've come to a pretty good solution
in that. I think though the Midwest, you can just
toss out some of those five states. The true Midwest
is the Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. You
heard here first, first groundbreaking work. I think we did
a lot for the world today, Dylan.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
I think so.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I think we really made some impact. I think we
really we're gonna change lives with this show, Dylan. Let's
just say that. So, if you're in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
or Michigan, you don't live in the Midwest the Great
Lakes region. Take it or leave it. That's what I
got for you. That's all I got.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Well, because I'm like thinking about it, and it's like
so many of these regions are so large, right, and
it's like how do you really break them up?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
It is tough because like you look.
Speaker 3 (43:31):
At like the South, but like the culture of like Louisiana, Arkansas, Alabama,
Missouri are way different than what's in Florida, right, But
Florida is a South does it gets in that region.
Speaker 2 (43:46):
And Florida is just like an entity of its own.
That makes it really tough. I feel like Florida shouldn't
be accounted in any of the regions, but you do
make a great point. The South in and of itself,
there are various kind of vibes.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
Well, yeah, because then you have like it when you
look at it and you're like all right, well, like
you know Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, what do you
call that the Mountain rat Yeah, Mountain West, right, and
then you got Pacific Northwest of just Washington and Oregon.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Can just two states make up a region?
Speaker 3 (44:15):
Well, then here's here's the wild one. What's California. I
get that California is massive. It is like that's the problem.
They're huge.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
You could group you could cut the state up in
a four sections. Then they could each be in their
own region.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
You just cut well, because like if you go north,
you get snow basically. Now some south you're in like
the Bajas. You're in the middle. You've got like a
weird mix, but you've also got all your cities and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
You can go from. At the north, you're basically in
the Pacific Northwest. In the south, it's like desert. It
feels like you're in Arizona. I mean, I've been out
to like Palm Desert, Palm Springs. It's just sand and
cac die. There ain't much out there. But then you
get up to the central part where I haven't been,
and it's it's just different. California is different. So the
region in system within the United S dates is very flawed,
(45:01):
and it almost doesn't even because it's not even worth
giving attention to to a certain extent. I mean, as
I say, as we talked about this.
Speaker 3 (45:07):
Film says it takes about ten, ten to twelve hours
to drive north to south, depending on your actual route
in California. In California, ten to twelve, ten to twelve hours,
given you what route you take. But like actual duration
could be different depending on traffic.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
And sure, sure, but like that LA traffic.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
That's a significant distance.
Speaker 2 (45:30):
That's huge for us.
Speaker 3 (45:31):
Twelve hours here pretty much gets you almost all the
way through Colorado.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah you're pretty much in Yeah.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Exactly, you're pretty much in Utah.
Speaker 2 (45:39):
Yeah, twelve hours if I'm driving I remebride. Our road
tripped from Woodbury, Minnesota, down to Austin, Texas, which was
a choice that me and my friends made, and twelve
hours we were basically in like the central part of Kansas,
maybe southern part of Kansas. With that route we took,
which was mostly just sitting on I thirty five, taking
(46:00):
taking a couple of detours to head to head west
a little bit to get you know, directly north of Texas,
and then just take I thirty five down. But it
was with that route we were basically into Kansas. The
thought of staying in one state driving for ten to
twelve hours is outrageous. It's crazy. It's crazy. There's a
lot a lot of ground to be covered in the
state and so much that classifying it and summing it
(46:22):
into one and into like five or so regions is
not not ifaction. It just doesn't make it just doesn't
make no sense done.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
If you want to even get more wild on it.
Imagine if you didn't have to use the state borders.
Because you didn't have to use the state borders, guess.
Speaker 2 (46:38):
What California can be divvied up.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
California can be divvied up into different ones. I think
you get a great a great lakes because like, here's
part of me, here's part of my problem. Right South Minnesota, farm.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
South Minnesota West, even a lot of northern Minnesota. Northern
Minnesota is a lot of lot of farm until you
get further east to the Great the Lakes period.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
Well, in the south you have like the South, but
then what are you doing about this little Appalachian Mountain Range,
because that's completely different.
Speaker 2 (47:07):
It just gets tossed in there.
Speaker 3 (47:08):
And then you got like the Western Frontier. But then
if you go all the way up north, like I
think you could go pretty much cut through and get
like different sections of like the quote unquote North, the
Great White North, it's like northern Montana, Coca Coak, cold.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Icy, cold, icy, worse than worse.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
And then you've got like you've got like New England.
But like when I think of New England, I've got
you know, Maine, New Hampshire, whatever. That other one is Vermont, Vermont,
thank you, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island. But then like
I'm also throwing like I'm thinking old timey thirteen colonies
when I think of New England.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Correct. And then with the even with like states down
south Florida, I've heard that like the very northern parts
of Florida is just like the most southern that you
can get, Like it's just just like exactly what you
would think of, like more on the Alabama Georgia, Arkansas,
Mississippi kind of vibes, but like the southern part of Florida, Florida,
(48:07):
it's like not at all like that at all. It's like
more like a concrete jungle with like the you know,
like Miami or either like Fort Myers or Laud you
know or whatever. But again I don't know much about
the state. But if you could do it within states,
dividing up the regions, and that would be cool.
Speaker 3 (48:25):
What are we what are we doing with the I
I just would have to assume that Alaska gets its
own and so.
Speaker 2 (48:31):
Does Oh why yeah they're too, Yeah they don't. I
mean if there was if there was a place within
the forty eight contiguous states that was like Hawaii, I
would have been there yesterday. I mean, I think a
lot of people, a lot of people would it be
an old guess maybe?
Speaker 3 (48:45):
I guess maybe the only way that they're that you're
not is if is if the pricing is the same
correct true?
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Why is expensive? A lot of people want to go
out and live in a in a in a place
with the seventy seven degrees, a light breeze and uh
mostly sunny skies every day, but not a lot of
people can get it.
Speaker 3 (49:05):
It's it's tough to get cold.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
I feel like we've If we keep discussing this region debacle,
we're we're gonna get deeper in it and we're never
gonna come to a solution. It's complicated, much like many
issues are within our world. But that's what we've got
today for you guys.
Speaker 3 (49:22):
I mean, I think, pretty light episode.
Speaker 2 (49:24):
But we got some good content in here. I think
I think.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
Here's a problem. It's not much has been going on
because we're in midterm week.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
Right so there's there's a lot, a lot of grinding
for you know, exams, that's what people got to do.
But my weeks haven't been that bad. But right after
spring break is when I get kicked. That's kind of
the problem that I'm having is right when we get back,
I'm gonna get my butt kicked. And it's gonna be
hard for me to go from like chill mode to
(49:51):
work mode. But we'll figure it out. Ladies and gentlemen,
you guys are awesome. Thank you so much for tuning in.
