Russians from Louisiana

So I'm having a conversation with Kyle. We're quiet for roughly 30 seconds when a male gymnast does an insane vault. 

I say "man! Where is he from?!"

Immediately, immediately mind you... Kyle replies "I think somewhere in Louisiana."

Now this might sound like a plausible answer except the heat we're watching doesn't feature the American team. 

Turns out, he's Russian. So I'm like... What?!?!

Kyle says "oh I fell asleep and I guess I was dreaming about people from Louisiana!"

Dude... 30 second lull in the conversation.
