Wait.. if you don't live on the east coast, where does your ball drop?

I was thinking about this on my way home from work.

So I've always lived on the east coast and every year the ball drop to watch for the new years countdown is the NYC one in times square. It never even crossed my mind that the US is three different time zones. Where the hell do the rest of ya'lls ball drop at? Minnesota or some shit?

oh your so damn cool

but i think they wait to show the ball dropping for your time zone, so for the west coast they would delay it 3 hours.

It never crossed your mind there are different time zones?

It's simple really, everyone in the West heads out to the East for New Years.
