As an Alaskan I am so proud to be accepted into the Midwest, also as another Alaskan the lay down thing is only for tourists from the lower 48 without a gun and usually ends bad we use our voice for black and brown bears first, then a warning shot or some spray and if that doesn’t work we unload in their shoulders so if the shots don’t kill them it’ll stop them chasing you. If you do run into a polar though your pretty much up a creek without a paddle and might as well start a rosary
@@JadeGaming224 your still not safe my friend. As a Georgian a thing I’ve learned the easy way (thank god) is that any pool of water that’s reasonably deep and murky, probably has an alligator in it.
As a person from Michigan, (who grew up with the Lions never winning) I gave up on them. I went to college football and I’ve been a wolverine my whole adult life. This last season watching them win the national championship really brought home to me how important it is to see the team you love win it all. I just stood there and sobbed knowing that at my age I probably won’t see that again. It was very emotional and I was left thinking “now what do we do” but we did it and we went the distance. To all the loyal football fans who love their team. I hope you get to experience that joy because there’s nothing in the world that compares. It’s so funny because people ask me why it means so much to me and I can’t tell you why I just know that it does. So I’m looking for a new football team because I’m rather disillusioned with mine. My heart will always remember U of M team 144.
Used to be a French press guy... then I found out about cowboy coffee. Boil a good ol pot of water take a fistful of coffee and throw it in there. Once ready take off heat andput a cup of cold water in. The grounds will sink to the bottom. The trick to getting it real good never wash that pot just rince it out. The first few are mediocre but once you give it that nice seasoning you can't get better coffee anywhere.
I worked at kwiktrip for 6 years and I always would say "have a good day" and then wait for the "you too", or whatever response they would give, and then i would follow it up with a "we'll see you next time" as they're turning to walk away so it wasn't so awkward.
I live in the interior of Alaska. A Northern Minnesota transplant. I will agree with that Bear advice. I have had many run ins with Grizzly And black bears out on my adventures in the remote bush. If attacked by a black bear fight back. Play dead if its a Grizzly. That's only IF you dont have a firearm on you, And I always have a firearm on me. To be honest, black bears have caused me more problems over the years than grizzly's. And yes, black bears are just as dangerous as a grizz. People get attacked by them quite often in Alaska. Anywho, great podcast guys!
My favorite is the Tom & Jerry's b4 dinner. So fun and delicious. You cannot find this in Georgia or Southern States. Love dressing! The southern people do not put it in the turkey! I'm glad I grew up in Minnesota. ❤
Hey Guys my dad was being creative one year and instead of making official stuffing he used a big bag of seasoned croutons and just added hot water. Actually worked
there is more saltlife stickers in the midwest and inland than on the coast!!! this guy is 100% correct. i live at the beach (used to live in the midwest) and rarely see saltlife stickers here, but they're littered inland
I grew up in the Midwest, but moved to the east coast 13 years ago. I love listening to the podcast to remind me of all the things I love about the midwest. 🥲
Minnesota guy here. We say , “The Cities. “ And that encompasses all of the twin cities area. We use all other cities names. So, Chicago is just Chicago. We don’t really care one way or the other about Chicago though. Haha. I understand a sconie calling it the city. It is closer to them. The cities is the twin cities area for us in MN though. Haha. Love you guys!
You guys should put up a board with names of people/guests like him who gave you insight into history, or just worthy of being on that board, it would be fun, funny and engaging for the show. Btw im talking about the guy who talked about the map and ranch (Nate from Anchorage Alaska)
As a diehard Detroit Lions fan, I humbly accept everything you guys said about us. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. Can you guess what my least favorite holiday tradition is? Exactly, you nailed it. I just want to be able to sit back, belly’s full of mom’s delicious food, and enjoy a Lions W with my 2 sons. I’m not asking much 🤣🤦🏽♂️🍻
@@chaddurall6862 - Right! I grew up in Cheney, and have lived in Spokane for almost 20 years. The funny part is my oldest brother now lives in Michigan, and it’s all so relatable. Every time I go visit it feels so familiar.
Y’all gotta go to AK!! The amount of content you’d get from the experience would be insane! It’s a beautiful place and I’d love to hear about it on this podcast 😂
The lions lose every year to bring Michigan closer together. To remind families that there's life outside of football and maybe, just maybe, its time to take the kids out to the lake again before the big freeze. They do this on purpose for all the good hard working families of the great north. True heroes in my book
Another great episode! 👍 ps: maybe I missed it, and don’t get me wrong I like that you travel and visit small town bars but what happened to „your“ bar guys ?
As an Alaskan who has looked around and asked officials, the minimum I’m you should carry just to scare the bear is a .45. When you come across one though, is just keep doing what you’re doing. They know you are there. Just be ready, but don’t freak out. 6/10 times they just want to say hi, 2/8 they just accidentally came by and went bye bye themselves. That last 2/10 when come is when you act and worry
Crazy bear mace story I read about a few years back. It was online so you know it is true. 😏 There was a man hiking with a group when he came upon a grizzly or brown bear. The guy whipped out the bear mace but unfortunately the wind blew it back into his face and incapacitated him. The other hikers say that when the bear attacked the smell of the mace was so strong thr bear actually couldn't stand it and left him alive. Has anyone else heard this story and if so did it have merit?
Brown bears usually just wanna go by doin their business. Just let yourself be known, keep making a bit of noice and they will adapt. If you hear a whisteling sound tho, usually means momma bear has observed you being close to her children, this is the time to slowly back the fuck away.
More like the Midwest should be trying be be called Alaskan. I mean Alaska is bigger than the entire Midwest so therefore it's that one people should be trying to be a part of 🤯
My fellow midwesterners, Alaska is on an ocean. If it isnt part of the West Coast then Alaska is Up North at best. C'mon brothers lets have standards in the midwest
I'm willing to shun myself as a Canadian for speaking up! Sorry! I apologize in advance but Canada has Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta playing "Midwest" on expert difficulty! Seeing the u.s. states like ohio play on easy mode is laughable!
Hey Charlie I know we always lose to the Packers for the most part on Thanksgiving but I will say my most memorable Thanksgiving was watching suh stop the Packers offensive player after that play that was epic and I always remember that it's Detroit Lions fan

I feel like that should now be switched to non Midwestern states. Also as a michigander we welcome Alaska to the Midwest with open arms
And here I am in the south Atlantic sittin in Florida
@@JadeGaming224 your still not safe my friend. As a Georgian a thing I’ve learned the easy way (thank god) is that any pool of water that’s reasonably deep and murky, probably has an alligator in it.
Welcome to the Midwest!! If it means anything, that is the exact same way we handle black bears here in Mich.
@@TopDawgResalewelcome Alaska.
Alaska seems to be just the Midwest on hardcore mode
Top notch comment 🤙👌
Ultra nightmare mid west edition
We have officially almost doubled the size of the midwest by adding Alaska!
Alaska bigger then most the country jomie
But population barely changed. You just added a small city's worth of people.

As an Alaskan I agree fully and love this.
Finally we're being recognized by the lower 48🤣🤣🤣
The most honest setting for a podcast. You have a real Midwest "cheers" vibe.
Not even from the Midwest but these heal my soul
This is what my life needed. A podcast that is just wholesome midwest people goofing with other wholesome midwest people. I love there accents too.
Hey y'all . Found the podcast from TH-cam shorts and I really been enjoying y'all podcast so far . Lol hope to learn a lot about the Midwest
The Midwest Survival Guide is a great bathroom book. I bring it with me in there, and I’m good to go!

Lotsa wonderful midwest folks out here in Interior AK, glad we are now OFFICIALLY in! 😂.
Keep up the awesomeness!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!! 🦃
Grew up in Wisconsin and currently live in Alaska. The BEST of both worlds.
I worked at kwiktrip for 6 years and I always would say "have a good day" and then wait for the "you too", or whatever response they would give, and then i would follow it up with a "we'll see you next time" as they're turning to walk away so it wasn't so awkward.
Here in GA the stuffing on the side is called dressing. A gibblet gravy is poured all over it and it is DELICIOUS!!!

Gotta say, my part of Alaska also has pulltabs everywhere, and it seems like it's mostly midwesterners that have any idea what those are.
Love your guys podcast!!! I'm from Minnesota would love to see you guys come to Minnesota come have a few beers with ya
god how i wait for these two gems.
My favorite is the Tom & Jerry's b4 dinner. So fun and delicious. You cannot find this in Georgia or Southern States. Love dressing! The southern people do not put it in the turkey! I'm glad I grew up in Minnesota. ❤
The end of Anne’s phone call epitomized the Midwest goodbye

The amount of salt life stickers on pontoon boats in these parts is hilarious to me
This show is about to blow up
I grew up in the Midwest, but moved to the east coast 13 years ago. I love listening to the podcast to remind me of all the things I love about the midwest. 🥲
I think seeing the time stamp from you of all people made me watch it all the way through
Im a new alaskan and i gotta say it matches up pretty well with what i know of the midwest, we even have holiday here lmao
I believe the proper Midwest response to see you next time is "sounds good" .
Tell ya folks I say hi.
I use that one way more than I should..
🍻
The most midwestern part about this episode is the lady hittin' the slots behind them. Hasn't she heard of pull-tabs?
Minnesota guy here. We say , “The Cities. “ And that encompasses all of the twin cities area. We use all other cities names. So, Chicago is just Chicago.

The boys are buzzin and say hello to the folks!

Green to green, brown to brown, blue to bits 😘👌 great electrical advice xD
Fun fact about Alaskans, Packers are the most supported football team here. Possibly because we like cheese and we have culture

Damn this aged poorly my friend. It was so close I wanted them to win.
Well, if we win our next 9 games, we can still make the playoffs!
@@Logan. “There’s always next year” - every Detroit Lions fan since forever
From Canada 🍁 here Happy Thanksgiving
Moved to eastern Washington state a couple years ago and there are so many Midwest vibes here it’s crazy!
Have never stepped foot in the Midwest, but my time in eastern WA has made me say “ope” on a daily basis now
Born and raised in Spokane WA and I can confirm the Midwest vibes I’ve never felt like we belong in the PNW.

This podcast is awesome
i love this podcast. much love from florida.
I still worked this morning but that was more to prep for Black Friday because hoooooo boy it’s going to be crazy again
Also the animal is a red panda

Man if only i was 3 years older. I live in Fargo and it would be crazy to go to that bar and see ya
I’ve been carded at Walgreens when I was 22 my wife was 18. They denied me purchasing a 12ver.
Another great episode! 👍 ps: maybe I missed it, and don’t get me wrong I like that you travel and visit small town bars but what happened to „your“ bar guys ?
Spose Charlie doesn't wanna hear about the sharks that wander into the great lakes and some rivers🤣
Welcome Alaska to the Midwest family!
42:32 from the short

I have a question. Would you consider Missouri as a part of the South or the Midwest?
Many would say the south- the attitude- the talk and so on…
shoutout to Anne!! I'm from mankato as well
8:08 "I love kwik trip right?" hahaha
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Oh no Michigan is the mitten state. the U.P is Wisconsins hat and wind break from Lake Superior. Your welcome. 😆
I like some IPAs, but grew up with Grain Belt.
Got a sub outta me! Jeepers I love it
Holy cow this is an amazing pod cast and i 2 am a midwestern
Loving this pod. I am sure you boys have had this request but any chance to get Mary Mack to belly on up?
If it’s on the outside of the bird (not “stuffed” inside it), it’s dressing
What happened to Citgo? When did Quick Trip take over?
Happy Festivus🙂.
BTW.
I ain't Charlie
How do I know when it is live and how can I call in?
The new Click and Clack😊
2 guys and both had a „funny“ I got electrocuted story 😂
So what happens when you run into a mix grizzly and polar bear? 🤔
How do you call in?
So, the first 5-10 minutes was the inspiration for the failed fried turkey shtick on Charlie’s channel?
Stuffing not in the bird we always called derssing
42:43 is where the title of the podcast section starts.
What happened to the camera? Just a black screen?

Car Talk is available on You Tube.
Brown bears usually just wanna go by doin their business. Just let yourself be known, keep making a bit of noice and they will adapt. If you hear a whisteling sound tho, usually means momma bear has observed you being close to her children, this is the time to slowly back the fuck away.
Same approach with wolves (at least gray), they will avoid you if given the notice. When startled tho they might attack
German/Polish/Scandinavian ancestry's a must.
If any midwestern folks are watching / reading this: what’s a typical midwestern stuffing ?
I can listen to Midwestern not-accents all day
Again, the Midwest test is simple: can you find Leinie's Original or Grain Belt? If not, you're not in the Midwest!
My favorite is being a lions fan, and watching my team blow a lead and shit the bed and lose lol but go lions. But more importantly GO BLUE!!!!
Try being a Seattle Seahawks fan!
I wanna be on the show.
Alaska its own thing bb
No, we're just excluded
More like the Midwest should be trying be be called Alaskan. I mean Alaska is bigger than the entire Midwest so therefore it's that one people should be trying to be a part of 🤯
Alaska belongs with Florida as their own thing lol
Haha yeah no
American coffee? You mean water with food coloring?
Not going to tell her what that means. ??
Noooo its a you betcha kinda situation
Wyoming💛
Bears are omnivores, not predators like a tiger or lion so they dont go for the kill bite, They will just hold u down and eat you alive like a salmon
7:52 for the people that are lazy
My fellow midwesterners, Alaska is on an ocean. If it isnt part of the West Coast then Alaska is Up North at best. C'mon brothers lets have standards in the midwest

I’d much rather be what we are, the far northwest. aS aN aLaSkAn, I do not accept.

If the air isn't trying to kill you in the winter, are you even living?
yoo
Dark meat, stiffing I really like u for that but WTF U DONT LIKE GRAVY!!!!!!
Nah we north west we bigger the the whole midwest
There is no such thing as good gas station coffee.
Stuffing prepared on the side is an abomination and an affront to God.
first
Hey Charlie I know we always lose to the Packers for the most part on Thanksgiving but I will say my most memorable Thanksgiving was watching suh stop the Packers offensive player after that play that was epic and I always remember that it's Detroit Lions fan
