Well I have heard similar conversations first-hand. I liked the “knows Joe Mauer’s cousin” claim to fame and the Grain Belt Beer finish. Where else would favorite lakes be considered a personal interest worth mention?

“There are no losers in Minnesota”. So they say.

So if there are "no losers in Minnesota" what do you call the Vikings?

I must be too old....couldn't understand a thing Maria B was saying....kinda over the top with that accent....doncha think?....she has one heck of a psycho-comic routine otherwise.

Maria Bamford is a stand-up comic. She also was the gal in the Target Xmas time commercials a few years back.
Do not know the other gal, but probably another comic.

Maria Bamford is a stand-up comic? After listening to that I thought she was someone's pet's squeaky toy!

I have lived in minnesota my whole life but my minnesota accent pet peeve:
