Hey, that's me. That's you. What's up Andy? How's it going? Good to see you. That's you were born in Iowa and raised in Nebraska.

0:29.6

That's right. That's about as Midwestern as you get. Yeah. A lot of people like they don't realize it's where

0:34.8

when you talk to people not from the Midwest, they're like, Oh, what is Nebraska? Is that like the great American West?

0:42.4

They're like where they think it's just like the like John Wayne riding through the great plains. I'm like,

No, not really. It's sort of suburban shopping centers. Yeah, just strip malls. Yeah. And then corn and bean fields.

just really nothing. And it's just farms. Yeah. So if you live anywhere else in Nebraska, I would

like to see your comments in the comments section. It's going to be like 12 guys. Right. Right. Right.

1:57.6

It's me. Yeah. Yeah. I'm out here in the middle of nowhere. Do you still have a lot of family?
