About Utah
Utah is a landlocked state in the Mountain West subregion of the Western United States. It is one of the Four Corners states, sharing a border with Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. It also borders Wyoming to the northeast, Idaho to the north, and Nevada to the west. In comparison to all the U.S. states and territories, Utah, with a population of just over three million, is the 13th-largest by area, the 30th-most populous, and the 11th-least densely populated. Urban development is mostly concentrated in two regions: the Wasatch Front in the north-central part of the state, which includes the state capital, Salt Lake City, and is home to roughly two-thirds of the population; and Washington County in the southwest, which has approximately 180,000 residents. Most of the western half of Utah lies in the Great Basin.

Utah has a 106-acre forest that's made out of one tree. It's called Pando, or some people call it the Trembling Giant, and it's a quaking aspen tree — a clonal colony, which means it's got the same root system.

NASA has actually created, or at least someone from NASA, a Mars flag. Do you know we have a Mars flag?

Crime Watch has helped police with over 5000 cases. It is quite impressive. I think my favorite from America's Most Wanted catches was this story set in the Green Parrot Cafe in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is incredible. Did you guys read about this? Basically there was a robbery of that cafe in 1992, and it was a bit botched and someone ended up dead, like one of the staff, I think, in the cafe or one of the people in the cafe.

He starred in car adverts in the 90s. Have you seen that? Oh yeah. It's a gorgeous car advert and it shows him driving on the in like the salt flat, Utah's Great Salt Lake, so he's not on a road, there are no other vehicles around but he's having a wail of a time driving away. It's lovely. His driver, by the way, guess what his driver's name was?
