| 0:00.0 | Hey, welcome to NoDum Questions. I am Destin. I'm physically in Chicago in the bowels of the |
| 0:06.0 | Philb Museum. Can I say bowels? We're down in the basement, right? Yeah. Okay. This is my friend, Emily |
| 0:10.8 | Grassley. We've known each other for a really long time and I want her to meet Matt. So I'm here in |
| 0:15.6 | Chicago for just a short period of time. She agreed to let us set up microphones and just talk |
| 0:20.4 | because I think she has deep insightful things to say about the world. Would you agree? Yeah. |
| 0:26.3 | Yeah. I guess. Let's do it. Hey, Matt. This is my friend, Emily. Hi, Emily. It's very nice to meet you. Hey, |
| 0:41.1 | Matt. It's nice to meet you too. I've heard a lot about you through Destin and also through internet. |
| 0:47.2 | Same Z's. Sweet. Yeah. I'm excited we're doing this. Me too. So, Emily, you are from all the places I'm |
| 0:54.4 | from. Yeah. When I heard that you're from Wyoming, I was like, we're probably related. Basically, |
| 1:00.6 | I assume so. There's, well, my family is one 100,000th of the state of Wyoming. Really? If somebody |
| 1:08.9 | meets us, they've met literally one 100,000th, which doesn't sound like that much, but that's freakishly |
| 1:14.4 | large. Yeah. Are you from Wyoming? No, I'm from South Dakota, but we're right across the border. |
| 1:20.0 | And once you're talking about Wyoming, South Dakota, it's like we're all one big family because our |
| 1:24.0 | states don't have big enough populations. Rapid City is really close to the Wyoming border. So, |
| 1:28.4 | I spend a lot of time in Wyoming. Well, my grandparents are from Rapid City and my mom is from |
| 1:32.5 | Rapid City and I did summers in Rapid City. I'm from Rapid City. My family homesteaded from Norway |
| 1:39.3 | in 1913 and started a ranch in faith, South Dakota. Okay. And my dad still has ranch land out there. |
| 1:46.8 | So, we kind of share a border with this guy, Morris Williams, who is famous because his land is |
| 1:54.0 | where Sue the T-Rex was found. Really? Really? Yeah. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Sue is from South Dakota. |
| 1:59.4 | So, like, we've got dinosaurs on our ranch somewhere. You need to explain who Sue is for people who |
| 2:03.6 | might not know. Oh, yeah. Because we're in the Field Museum right now. Yeah. So, Sue is the largest |
| 2:07.9 | most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex ever found. And she is here on display at the Field Museum. |
