You know, yesterday I don't feel like I was fully prepared to discuss how many people visit the state of Colorado,

but I've been stewing on it for 24 hours. And now I think I am. You're just underrating how sparsely populated the West is. I'm surprised

I couldn't get to this quickly because it's one of my big things. There's, you know, I've got some

core tenants. One, Notre Dame football is the purest and best thing that's ever

existed in the world. Two, people do not understand the degree to which the east is much

more populated than the fucking west. There's no one who live, like the number of people

who live within driving distance of Colorado is so much astronomically lower than the people who live within driving

distance of, you know, Niagara Falls, for example, but like a million other things too.

Like you think of Alabama as a rural state, and it is. But like the number of like, like,

like just Alabama versus Arizona, Arizona's got like incomparably fewer people in it.

Even somewhere like Oregon, incomparably fewer people in it.

And Alabama?

I bet, dude.

Yes, I'm going to say it confidently.
