The Great Lakes, known for being water, famous for being five.

Nobody thinks much about them, so let's have some fun.

Let's find out why the Great Lakes are secretly, incredibly fascinating. Hey, hey, hey, folks, welcome to a whole new podcast episode, a podcast all about why being alive is more

interesting than people think it is. My name is Alex Schmitz, and I'm not alone. I'm joined by Rebecca

Reeds and by Eli Uden. They're two wonderful comedians and podcasters. Rebecca Reeds is co-host of

The Villain Was Right, which is a very

funny pop culture podcast that pursues that premise. The Villain was Right in the pop culture

thing. That's a show on the From Superheroes Network of podcasts. Eli Uden is somebody I know from

comedy and from college humor.com. We both work there and were associated with it at various

times. He's now one of the co-hosts of What a Time to Be Alive, which is a very funny podcast

about news stories and recent things that make you say the title of that podcast. Also, I've

gathered all of our postal codes and used internet resources like native-land.c-ca

to acknowledge that me and Eli each recorded this on the traditional land of the Canarsi and Lenape peoples.

I acknowledge Rebecca recorded this on the traditional land of the Haudenosaun, Mississauga, and Wendot peoples,

as well as many Anishinawbek speaking peoples, and acknowledge

that in all of our locations, native people are very much still here.

That feels worth doing on each episode, and today's episode is about the Great Lakes.

This North American Great Lakes show is a patron pick.

Thank you very much to patron Taylor for suggesting it, and thank you to everybody who voted for it in the polls.

These lakes are absolutely the title of the podcast.

I feel like we are going to get just one drop of water out of the vast amount of knowledge that you could have about these five humongous bodies of water

and all the different interconnections and other things about them.
