Wulf: Is it “Jerry” or “Gary?”

Gerry: Gary, G-a-r-y.

Wulf: I wanna know, what is the rivalry between North Dakota and South Dakota.

Gerry: What is the rivalry?

Wulf: What is the rivalry like? Have you already been asked this?

Gerry: Um, like are you talking just like state vs. state or like football, University of South Dakota vs. North Dakota?
