Alaska's state motto is North to the future. Don't know what that means, but there it is. They all have mottoes, these states, My favourite one is Kentucky. Kentucky's known, really, for two things.
Fried Chicken.
Well, apart from that. It's called The Bluegrass State, but it's Bourbon and The Kentucky Derby - the race. And somebody came up with a two-word phrase for Kentucky which encapsulates both those things which I think is rather brilliant.
Pissed Horses?
That would do it. No, it's Unbridled Spirit. Isn't that clever? Genuinely clever.
Yeah. No, that's great. That absolutely shits on North to the Future.
[Laughing] It does, doesn't it? It's got to be said.
Because if there's one place you do not want to head north from, it's Alaska. 'Cause there's fuck all of the world there. You want to go south! You want to see stuff... North to the Future maybe you'd say from Argentina.
