Nist also told a story on the podcast about: A disagreement with Turner during one of his visits to Indiana.

“So we set off from the airport and it took about three hours and we’re approaching Gerry’s house,” he recalled. “So I see this open land – I don’t see crops, I just think it’s flat land – and I think, ‘Wow, you could build townhouses there!’ That’s all I said and Gerry said: ‘Oh, so you want to take the farmer’s land away from him?’ “Note to self, don’t say that again,” I say.
