Yes, they are still pretty big areas. Have you never traveled? I mean I know a lot of East coasters never travel but still. I mean it's not like I'm talking about finding Eritrea or Djibouti (I did not know those were connected) on a map.
I guess I don't understand why you'd think being unable to properly position all 50 states on a map is an indication of someone's intelligence in general or business acumen in particular.

Perhaps no region was more difficult than the tiny states of New England, where utter pandemonium reigned. Although most of the answers for Maine were correct, Delaware was often placed in Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maryland. Rhode Island generated similar answers, with some respondents even placing it in New Jersey. Meanwhile, New Hampshire and Vermont were placed all over New England, and Massachusetts was frequently mislabeled as Connecticut. Clearly, plenty of our quiz-takers were simply guessing their way through New England.​

Impressive, very impressive. Its Iowa nice until you mess around with local sports, LOL. The layoffs wasn't a local decision to begin with, kudos to McCrea and the LOCAL powers to be for making this happen.

No way they didn't get raises right? I like all these personalities but if I'm Ross, the Charter gig would probably pay a lot more.

Need advice:

I've been pissy for the last couple of days because of the whole KXnO thing. The wife was not real consoling on the matter. Her favorite radio station happens to be 106.3. How do I celebrate this with the wife? Do I celebrate like OBJ does with LSU football players or like OBJ does with rent-a-cops?
Both

Why can't he do both? It's not like realtors have to work M-F, 9-5?

I would think he could do his real estate thing in the morning and early afternoon and do the radio gig in the afternoon.

I imagine the charter gig was probably commission-based, so while there's money in it in the long term, maybe not so much right out the door

I imagine he could possibly do both though.

That real estate agent life would ssssuuuuuuuccccckk
Yeah but the Polk economy is on very solid ground and I would think the pay and stability would be a little attractive.
With little kids, the radio might be a better, set in schedule life though.
