Also I lived in Asheville for 6 years which is set right in the Appalachian mountains and whereas I grew up hearing it pronounced the way that Matteo's family pronounced it..everyone that lives in the mountains pronounces it "Appa - Latchen"
I'm from the Midwest and have always heard it pronounced how Matteo said it. My father-in-law's family is from West Virginia and that side of the family said it like the phone did-- App-ah-latch-in
Definitely Dorothy and Rose vibes lol What if the podcast was 20 mins? Or maybe do a apart 2? This one was too short and I wanted to hear more about both of you guyses air travel experience. Also, Google was right, "App-a-lach-in" mountains
I’ve never heard that but I believe him that it’s a regional thing… is he dumb for pronouncing it the way everyone in his hometown does? Yes… but only because he’s lived in New York for years lol.
I’ve heard two different pronunciations my whole life and I’m about 20 miles from a trail entrance. Appa-lay-shen (You don’t live in the actual mountain or scary dew drinking baby part of it) and Ap-uh-latch-en (you 100% had Mountain Dew in your baby bottle) ETA: in Lehigh Valley, PA
North Carolinian here. I have NEVER heard the Appalachian Mountains pronounced the way Nick says it. EVER. I have heard people say it the way Matteo says it (but that's wrong lol). The correct pronunciation is the way the phone said it (like "latch").
Southwest Virginia here. I've Never heard it like Nick said it either! So strange to hear it like that. We always say it's Appalachia, as in I'll throw an apple at ya if you pronounce it appalasha😂
It's a damn travesty that this podcast isn't longer. 😂 I loved this wild tangent this episode took and I am here for it. I can relate to Matteo's struggle with how to address what Nick doesn't know LOL 😭
I grew up in Virginia and we pronounced it Appa-LATCH-ian. I hear the flat A pronunciation sometimes from people in states farther north, but I have never heard Appa-lake-ian like Nick said.
Flight attendant here, and I agree that the cost of travel has gotten insane while the quality continues to go down :( Also, I’m sad that the flight attendant was rude to you about asking for biscoff. If we don’t have snacks on the bev cart we just nicely inform you that the snacks are coming next or that we can bring it to you after the beverage service, it’s not that deep lmao the drama is so unnecessary. Sending love from Chicago
I'm losing it laughing at Nick randomly wanting to know If you can take the fish home from the Great lakes as if he's going on a fishing trip there 😂😂😂
The phone pronounced “Appalachian” correctly. I say it like Matteo says it because it’s the way I learned it. If I had to give a speech that used the word a lot I would practice a lot to say it correctly.
Nick's question about sport fishing regulations is valid, interesting, and complicated. I'm a fisherman but I don't fish on the great lakes very often. To answer Nick's question to the best of my knowledge: Yes, you can fish on the great lakes. There are regulations based on species and time of year that determine whether you can keep the fish or release it. Common types of fishing on the great lakes include: Salmon fishing (far out in a boat), Perch fishing (near the shores), trout fishing (near shores), and like general fishing for things like catfish, carp, bass, panfish, etc. There are even fisherman who target sturgeon, which can be like 12ft long! You can hire guides with boats to take you fishing for salmon. There is also a limited amount of commercial fishing in the great lakes, done with nets. I don't know much about that. Thanks for the great fishing question, Nick! I'd love to go fishing with you some time, that would make a funny video hahaha
The line actually is "And I can see Russia from my house." Which Sarah Palin never said… It was a Saturday Night Live, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler sketch.
Palin said "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska”. From an island in Alaska in the Bering Strait on one side sits Russia and the other Alaska in the middle are two islands the Diomedes about less than 3 miles apart we each own an island you can stand there and wave to each other. During winter the strait freezes and you can walk from Alaska to Russia in about tens minutes.
Mateo says it properly, and he's absolutely right about the Denver airport. It just somehow feels... ominous. Can we get the very lovable Nick to audit a geography class where he's answering every question? I'd watch that all day, because Nick.
He didn't say it correctly actually. It's Appa-latch-in. And I would Love a history lesson from Nick😂 Just him in front of a chalkboard giving us all his incorrect world history facts🤣🤣
i agree with Matteo about the pronunciation. i love how pretty Nick is in his blouse but then don't ask him any historical questions. hahha. love these 2. 👏👏
Omgggg so I had just come back on a flight after being dumped by my girlfriend of 4 years….I also watched CoCo and I expected to cry, but omg all of my emotions came out and I was bawling crying and laughing and I looked like a crazy person for the entire 5 hour flight!! 😱😭😢
I'm from the Appalachian mountains -- we mostly say appa-LATCH-an in our region but I've heard a lot of appa-LAY-shun... Never in my life have I head "appa-LINKIN", and it's his whole family? Jesus. Nick's town was built on the backs of the children who were left behind.
Hate to say it both of y'all are wrong. I live at the foot of the Smokies (Part of the Appalachian Mountain range in Tennessee) It's Appa-Latch-in. I've heard people say it the way Matteo says it and I don't it sweat but Nick continues to astound me.
I called my friend from Mercer County Pennsylvania, sort of halfway between Erie and Pittsburgh, and asked him about the pronunciation. He pronounced with a 'ch.' I asked him if this was a regional issue and he suggested it was a genetic issue.
There’s a phenomenon where u watch ur movie and someone else’s too… it’s called being nosey 😂😂😂😂 love this podcast! Fucking hilarious every week! Another great episode boys! 🔥🔥🔥
I was at a party the other weekend. There was a teacher there from PA, they went on and on about how the education system in Pennsylvania is better then anywhere else. I feel I should offer this podcast as a retort. Everyone loves COCO, I dislike it because the whole movie is about how you can never escape your family.
To clarify, I know there are mountains in Colorado, I was put on the spot and didn't realize it was the rockies, but I do know it is the rockies I just blanked in the moment 😭🤦♂️
Honestly, I wish people would stop reacting so violently to your strange education. It’s going to spoil those wonderful moments when they emerge and you’re so adorable standing your ground on what you were taught, even if it was absolute trash.
Im from the Appalachian mountains and Nick is SHOCKINGLY wrong. Matteo is debatably right. We say it the way Matteo and google says it 🤷🏻♀️ I ACTUALLY SCREAMED WDYM APPALAKAN!!?
