Our FIRST time in Oklahoma! (Driving ROUTE 66 from Tulsa to Oklahoma City)
Despite growing up in Texas, we have never visited Oklahoma, so it was about time we changed that! And for our first adventure in the state we drove Route 66 from Tulsa to Oklahoma City, making tons of fun, delicious, and quirky stops along the way.

So many places to visit, so little time. But, you covered some awesome places. I was there in October 2021, and saw some of those same things. So cool to see you stop at some of them as well. The Peanut Butter and Jelly Soda would go great with the Peanut Butter Burger from the Crow Bar in Laramie!
I live in Tulsa and love seeing people explore!

As a Tulsan, I would have been very disappointed if none of my fellow Tulsans pointed you toward the Center of the Universe. So glad you got to experience it!
In your videos, I can always tell how much Adam enjoys taste testing because he nods after his first bite or sip. He did NOT nod after his sip of ranch dressing soda. LOL!

To be honest, before we visited we didn't think much of it either, but there really is a lot to see and do all over the state! Your comment is very nice and means a lot to us. Thank you and thanks for watching!

Welcome to T-Town (Tulsa) and OK! It looks like you went to a bunch of the main attractions. You did a great job of covering my home state!
I live about a mile from the Blue Whale. Thanks for coming to see him! 🐋
Regarding the onion issue… I have a few recipes where I use the onion with the cheese grater allowing me to have the flavor of the onion and not the overwhelming texture of the onion. Make sure to use the onion and the cheese grater directly into your mixture. The secret is in the juice. And not too much as the juice can be over powering. Love the videos keep up the good work. Be safe and be well
Awesome work you two! You are officially our favorite youtubers. You make the cutest couple and we ❤ your personalities. We also appreciate your cinematography skills and your interest in history, food and ice cream... You two are our inspiration to get on the road! Many thanks for all your vlogs.
The Sapulpa Christmas Chute ended up being just as awesome as you’d hope! Lots of fun!
Love watching what you get to eat almost as much as your hiking and backpacking adventures and love it when Kona is included!
Thank you for showing our beautiful state. Thanks for coming through T town! There is so much more and great history.
You all gone through every American landscapes. Deserts, mountains, valleys, oceans and prairies.
I just wanna say thank you for exploring our great state I love seeing people come here and seeing how amazing Oklahoma is I’ve been an Okie for over 2 decades and it brings me joy seeing people falling in love with our amazing state

Really enjoyed your travel through Oklahoma. I lived downtown Tulsa for 8 years and was there on opening day for Bucks. Thanks!
Dang, wish I woulda known! I live in Tulsa, coulda told you guys the best bURGER joints here, or Tex Mex, the main two things Oklahoma's great at! Pops 66 is great for IG and some good food though!
It's been awhile since I've made it back to Mother's Road Market...but after watching your video, I definitely need to head back as there are some new restaurants in there. Glad you had fun at Pops. Anytime I have an out-of-town guest...I always take them to Pops!

I live north of okc and have been to most of those sites. Thanks for the kind words about the state . Enjoyed your banter sorry you didn't get to experience the play area at the Gathering place that is and awesome park surprised you didn't go canoeing. If you get the chance at some point visit Little Sahara park just outside Waynoka. Anyway safe travels to you both🛣🚍.👍🖐

Hello Adventurers and Happy Thanksgiving😊😊😊! We have seen that Blue Whale on the outskirts of Tulsa...and it's really cool. We traveled to Tulsa for a family reunion 4 years ago and we had a blast. We also enjoyed our time at the Gathering Place and spent half the day there and enjoyed the walkway along side the Arkansas River. I have also seen some really quirky interesting stops along Route 66 in Missouri...places like the LARGEST ROCKING CHAIR in the world in CUBA,MO & another QUIRKY attraction called URANUS TRAVEL CENTER...and the LARGEST BELT BUCKLE😊😊😊. So much quirkiness in that plaza😊😊😊😊. Tulsa is a great city with so much history...especially Black Wall Street. I have some relatives that live in Tulsa. Now, how about those Onion burgers...and you didn't share those juicey burgers? Y'all should be ashamed of yourself😄😄😄😄. Pops, YUCK!!! YUCK!!!....IIILLLLthats NASTY😊😊😊.

Great start to the OK Vids! I loved the soda tasting. Every New Years Eve we have a party where we buy a bunch of flavored sodas like your ranch when and then our kids and my 3 nieces try and guess the flavor. It's hilarious when you don't know what your drinking what your mind thinks you're tasting. Looking forward to more of Route....66!

Please come back to NE Oklahoma. When you come, explore Tahlequah, Oklahoma. We have a lot of river floating outfitters on the Illinois River, great hiking trails (I like Sparrowhawk). The town has unique shops and restaurants, museums, history and culture.
Loved this one guys!!@ Happy Thanksgiving!!
My home state, so cool. Even though I've lived most of my 65 years in Alabama I was born in Ardmore, Oklahoma and visited there often as a kid to see family. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you both were able to try our onion burgers!! 🍔 😋
That lettuce burger is awesome…hilarious! And the onion burger amazing guys!
We loved this RT 66 tour! What fun quirky places! Thinking back to travelers before theme parks they must have been in Awe! Soda scene had us laughing and of course the dancing bloops! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
What a fun video! The food looked amazing and I will think about pulverizing the onions from now on😜! Great job! Safe travels!

I know you did onion burgers at Tuckers. If you get a chance, go to Nic's on the corner of Penn and 10th. Only lunch, only cash, no real parking, about 10 seats in the whole place. Most of his sales are carryout, and awesome.

Thanks so much for this video. I am planning a trip on route 66 next year. I saved all the places you visited on my route 66 bucket list. I will also check out the videos you recommended.
I grew up with the Blue Whale. Never realized it wasn't just a normal thing to have in the neighborhood till I got older and moved away.
