Rebel vs. Yankee Talk; Presented by Steve and Simone

It's no secret when you tune into 95.3 The Bear weekday mornings that Steve and Simone have a LOT in common; their love of food, passion for sports, and desire to nap as often as possible. BUT, there's one BIG difference between the pair ... Steve is a born and bred Southern boy and Simone is an Ohio-native, Yankee girl (don't hold it against her!) - Because of their home-grown differences, there's a little speech "barrier," if you will.
