I lived in Dubuque for years (from Dyersville area originally) and the Youse drove my wife nuts. I never noticed it until she pointed it out. She is not from the area.
One of my best friends from ISU 'got on' at Abbott Labs in the far N suburbs of Chicago. He said the old timers there called it "Abbott's."Here around Waterloo we refer to the corporate John Deere offices or manufacturing as “Deere’s” and I’ve never noticed it until it drove my wife (not from the area) nuts. We also never say someone got hired, it’s “they got on” somewhere.
“Jimmy got a new job, he got on at Deere’s in Waterloo”
Waterloo and Dubuque are both communities that use the term Deere’s when saying anything about John Deere.Here around Waterloo we refer to the corporate John Deere offices or manufacturing as “Deere’s” and I’ve never noticed it until it drove my wife (not from the area) nuts. We also never say someone got hired, it’s “they got on” somewhere.

Many locals in pella call vermeer manufacturing “Vermeer’s”. Strange thing.Here around Waterloo we refer to the corporate John Deere offices or manufacturing as “Deere’s” and I’ve never noticed it until it drove my wife (not from the area) nuts.

There are people from Iowa who can't even say Des Moines right.Many locals in pella call vermeer manufacturing “Vermeer’s”. Strange thing.
What an odd dude. He clearly needs a hobby.
Him going toe to toe with Dave Ramsey for some reason sounds wildly entertaining to me.Not to intentionally resurect an old thread, but I just heard "Derek from New Sharon" call into the Dave Ramsey show on Tuesday (via podcast) calling himself "Pete from Chicago". He mentioned driving through Iowa and something about getting screwed over by a car dealership.

So true. I listen to mostly talk radio locally, WGN or the local sports station. Just because I am never in the car for more than a few minutes on a daily basis and they tend to have less commercials than the music station. So, instead of listening to commercials for my 4 minute drive. I think most of the appeal for me is just trying to figure out the mentality of people who call into these shows that think the general public care about what it is they have to say.Sounds like he has one that he loves to me...
Is he Derek's brother?So what’s the deal with this guy? Why does he talk like he’s from the southern US? Do other people in Iowa have southern accents? CW and Stanz are from the southern most part of Iowa and they don’t talk like that. I think New Shannon isn’t even in southern Iowa, it’s eastern Iowa?
The second I heard “Derek in Iowa” I cringed and knew exactly who was coming. Thankfully it was brief and not as bad as I was expecting.He just called DP show to talk about Purdy. So proud to have him nationally representing the state of Iowa and ISU. Lol!
I always thought it was a contrived character for Chris and Ross' Fanatics show. Apparently not the case.Is there really a Derek and is he really from New Sharon?
What did Dan Patrick and his crew think of him?He just called DP show to talk about Purdy. So proud to have him nationally representing the state of Iowa and ISU. Lol!
