Maybe that's a non-answer.

Slow down, John.

Slow down.

I don't have a horse.

On Long Island?

Would you relax for a second?

I actually don't have a horse in this race, but let's just remind ourselves that your whole oeuvre with regard to Long Island is 30 years out of date?

40 years out of date?

I think the thing that cracks me up most about John's ownership of Long Island is that you haven't been able to claim any ownership of Long Island in 30 years.

I get that, but maybe it's unfair because I moved so much when I was growing up, and I was only ever in a place for two, maybe four years at a time.

Right, but to me, I don't own the podunk little town in western Connecticut that I grew up in, not in a literal sense, you know what I'm saying.

Well, Connecticut doesn't have any culture, so.

Oh, all right.

Now your New York is definitely showing.

I mean, the whole left side of the state thinks they're New York.

Yes.

I know, it's so true.

I mean, it's just, it's funny to me how devoutly, John, in particular, you believe in this balls to bones, and yet it's so unequivocally outdated information.

My point is that the colloquial usage may be wildly different today.

No, it may not be.
