Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) He tangata whakahoahoa ahau, he tangata mahi nui nō Ohio. Koinei te āhua o te whakaahua a te nuinga o aku hoa i New York i ngā tangata o te Midwestern. He rite ki te mea kei te huihui tātou ki "The Flyover Wonder Bread Factory", kahore he tae, he hohonu rānei. E kiia ana e tohu ana mātou i ngā mea pai katoa o Amerika. He pono pea tena, engari ko te "hoa me te mahi pakeke" he tino... he maeneene. Mēnā e whakaaro ana koe he pakeke rawa ahau, ui atu ki tētahi tangata ehara i te tangata o te Midwest kia whakaahua i tētahi i whānau, i tipu ake i te Heartland o Amerika. Ko taku tautuhinga tino pai i ahu mai i tētahi hoa mahi i tipu ake i Florida. I uaua ia ki te whakaahua i a mātau i te timatanga, katahi ka mea, "He mea noa iho". He rite ki te Amish? "Kahore", ka mea ia, whakamataku. Ahakoa ko aku hoa o te Midwestern, he uaua ki a rātau te whakaaro ki ngā whakaahuatanga whakamīharo. Ko te kaitohutohu ture a CNN a Danny Cevallos he tangata whakapehapeha no North Muskegon, Michigan. Ko te mea tuatahi i puta mai i tona mangai, "Te aroha!" I muri i tērā, i uaua hoki ia. "E tama, kia kite ahau...um...e kore e ohorere ngāwari?" I huri au i aku kanohi. "He mea ahuareka noa iho tena, e Danny". Ka mutu tana kōrero, kātahi ka mea, "Ka pai ake ki a au te kōrero pōhēhē i ngā kōrero kino e pā ana ki Florida". Ahakoa tōku hoa hou, a Jared Zak, nō Wisconsin i uaua. Ko te mea pai rawa i taea e ia te whakaaro ko "hearty". I pātai atu ahau i ēnei pātai i muri i te uiuinga a Eric Dayton, e hiahia ana kia wehe atu tana whenua taketake o Minnesota i te Midwest. "Kei te Midwest mātou mēnā e titiro ana koe ki reira mai i New York City, mai rānei i tētahi wāhi i te [East] Coast", i kī mai a Dayton ki ahau. "Heoi anō, ko te whakamāramatanga a tētahi atu. Ki taku whakaaro kua tae ki te wā kia whai mana tātou anō". Ko Dayton rāua ko tōna tuakana, ko Andrew, ko tōna pāpā te kāwana o te kāwanatanga, he kaipakihi o Minneapolis, he toa kakahu me tētahi wharekai e tino pai ana ki te rohe. I muri i te haerenga a Eric Dayton ki Scandinavia (he maha nga tangata o Minnesota no te uri Norwegian), i miharo ia ki te tuakiri pakari o te rohe. I whakapehapeha ki tana rangi makariri, ki tana kai, ki tana ahurea, ki tana... Ko te Raki. Na he aha, ui ia, kihai i Minnesota? I te taenga mai o Dayton ki te kāinga ka utua e ia tētahi kamupene o Minnesota ki te hanga i ngā potae kākahu mō tōna toa kākahu e kī ana, "Te Raki". I hokona atu rātou, ā...
Costello: Ko te Midwest ehara i te 'whenua rererangi' a he nui ake nga mea hei tuku atu i te whakahoahoa. E hiahia ana te rohe ki te whakarerekē i te ingoa, i te mea e rua nga tangata o Minneapolis e ngana ana, e ai ki a ia.
