Idaho Governor Tries To Crack Viral '6-7' Joke Mid-Speech

It was the joke that took over the second half of 2025-- 'six seven'.

Did you laugh? Do the thing with your hands? We get it. I mean, we don't. But we do.

Nobody could really describe why the 'six seven' joke was so funny, or so viral, but it sure brings a lot of laughs, screams and joy to kids--and adults that want to seem like they're cool. So given all things going on in the world, it's a breath of fresh air.

You may not be aware, but Monday, January 12th, the Governor of Idaho Brad Little gave his 'State of the State' address--where he shares what's been going on in Idaho, where we stand as a State, and what Idahoans can expect from the next legislative session.

The rather dry event was primarily spent praising Donald Trump and bashing the Biden administration--all while finding ways to brag about Idaho great. Lots of things make Idaho great--political banter no matter your side of the isle, most often, isn't one of them.

In an attempt to lighten the mood, Little dropped a creative use of 'Six Seven' and while the adults in the room missed the relevance of his reference, the kids in the gallery--way up top--had an absolute BALL and that's enough to make anyone's day.

You can see the video of the moment for yourself, below:

The crowd didn't laugh too much when he dropped the joke--but then again, the average age of the Idaho legislature or frankly, that room, had to have been above 40 or 45 years old, right?

A for Effort, Brad.
