Colorado, Manifest Destiny, and Stolen Land
from The Return Of Shame with Dan Soder | The Tim Dillon Show #363 · #363

The conversation shifts to Colorado's history and culture, joking about Manifest Destiny, Chili's and Applebee's built on stolen Native land, and the state's peculiar friendly-nosy character.
- Tim says the world will be brought together by more porn parodies of politicians.
- Colorado mini malls are built on stolen land, part of the state's wild culture.
- Three generations removed: Tim's grandfather was born in Colorado in 1925, making the family complicit in broken treaties and Native American genocide.
- People act like the Chili's and Applebee's have always existed, when really they're products of Manifest Destiny.
- Colorado residents have a joyful curiosity about people, asking questions and wanting to know who you are.
- New York's attitude is mind your own business and look forward, but Colorado asks 'what do you do' and 'who are you.'
