Every Southern State Giving Directions

Комедия

Alabama knows exactly how many Dollar Generals to pass, Texas reminds you just how big Texas is, Kentucky wants you off his property, and Oklahoma is just happy to be here. Sorta. Not Really.

    True story: My mother was up in the Texas Panhandle with a friend from Scotland, and when asked where he wanted to go next he said he always wanted to go fishing in the Gulf. So they set out from Abilene to Galveston... And got a motel for the night in, I wanna say Dallas. Next morning as they started driving Scotty asked "So, how many states do we pass through until we get there?" "Oh, we've been in Texas the whole time," came the reply, "It's just about another 4 hours away." The Scotsman was stunned; they'd been driving for 2 days by the time they got there. If you try to drive anywhere back home in the UK for more than a day you're gonna need a boat because no matter what direction you go you're gonna run out of land.

    Dude, I've never seen your channel before, but I'm glad I stumbled onto this. First, as a native Nashvillian, a thousand AMENS to your portrayal of sending the Californians back to where they came from. And although it was subtle, I caught your little jab about driving until their electricity runs out. Nice touch. Second, as one who has lots of family in Texas and having driven all the way across the state many times, your Texas impersonation was also spot on and hilarious. Also, seeing as how I couldn't understand a word the Louisiana guy said, that also was fantastically accurate. Furthermore, I loved all the repent names in South Carolina. And finally, the Virginia one about DC, so true. The accuracy of each is what made them so good. Well done sir.

    Oh my God, that opening of the Texas one is practically a quote from my wife during my first visit to the state. We drove down from Chicago for Thanksgiving dinner with my in-laws in East Texas, where we found that her uncle, who lived in Lubbock, had had to cancel. She was disappointed that we missed him, so I suggested that since we'd already driven all the way from Chicago, we should go visit him in Lubbock after Thanksgiving. She just laughed and laughed, then told me I needed to go look at a map with a scale. Yeah, it's roughly the same distance from Longview, Texas to Lubbock as from Chicago to Longview. Man, this is one big-ass state.

    Matt, you mentioned the Alex Shunnarah sign in the Alabama part. I was visiting a relative in a Birmingham hospital and some poor fellow down the hall kept calling out, 'Doctor, nurse help me'. He did it over and over as it wasn't really urgent but he just did it. I know it's a sad situation we shouldn't laugh at, but from time to time he would also call out 'Call Alex Shunnarah!'

Then go until you see a huge oak tree split down the middle and turn left before you get to it. If you see wagon wheels buried in the ground as a driveway marker, you've gone too far.

    Almost 20 years ago, my two friends and I decided to "spontaneously road trip" to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. No plans for a hotel or place to stay, just go... enjoy the party scene for to days and leave. Upon exiting the vehicle, some guy approached us asking for cigarettes. My friend gave him a pack and asked where we should start .... he proceeded to give us a tour in the THICKEST Cajun accent imaginable. We were more lost after that encounter than we were when we started! Nice guy, pretty sure he was homeless but we didn't assume. Told us which alleys to stay out of to avoid trouble by pointing and saying "no! Trouble chér" [or "troubles there" I dunno]. It was a stupid decision made by 3 young men that thankfully ended in a hilarious memory that we are able to share 20 years later. I hope that "homeless man" or whatever he was is doing well and living a blessed life!

All dirt roads, no mail service at the house (had to go to PO and pick it up each day). Unless born there, you were a newbie. No street signs. Directions were given from the Tasty Freeze and houses were the original owners as in "Oh, you live in the old R. Timmons' place." To go to Lubbock or Amarillo, it wasn't measured in miles, but in hours. In fact, no one spoke of mileage at all. Groceries and gas?--that was a half-hour away. Hospital?--an hour...or so.

I feel like some people want to punish Texas for being successful - and maybe, because we've been conservative thus far, and it's WORKED.
