Every Southern State Giving Directions

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.

As a Cajun who's lived in Texas his whole life, I can confirm the Texas one is true and I'm proud that I understood every single word spoken by the Louisiana guy

When I was a kid growing up in Texas, I'd ask my parents "Are we still in Texas?" on long road trips. The answer was always "Yes". Now, in my mind, Texas is the default size of a state and all other states are just small.

The aggressive Southern Hospitality shown by Mississippi is so accurate 😂

[CallsignArclight]

As a Virginian that was 110% accurate.
"You're going to DC?"
"Why?"
Had my giggling silly.

As a Floridian, this is PAINFULLY accurate. It’s either toll roads ‘till judgement day, or backwoods routes that are better navigated on alligatorback

As a proud Cajun from south Louisiana, I can confirm the accuracy of the Louisiana directions. Especially the part about stopping for a link of boudin. Though we too use Dollar Generals and Jesus billboards as landmarks. And "big rig wreck lawyer" billboards too, unfortunately. So many billboard Maybe we can feed some to

Born in Alabama. Grew up in Virginia. Live in Texas. Spent time in Georgia, North Carolina, and Mississippi. You’re spot on for all of them.

As someone who moved to Louisiana twenty-five years ago as a child, I am proud to say I understood a full _three-quarters_ of what he said.

I was a firefighter/EMT up in North Georgia and was new to the county I was working in, and we got a call in the middle of the night. I stopped by the dispatch office (in the same building) to get directions, and she told me "Go by where Farmer Tucker's barn used to be, turn left, and go down a smidge."

Mississippi is so true. I stopped at a little country store to ask directions. Didn't know anyone, But ended up having lunch with the owners, and then they "fixed a bag" for me to take for later. It was great!!

Best line: "get on I-40 west and just keep going.."

As a 25 year resident of Louisana I can attest to getting directions nearly exactly as you portrayed, only longer and even more confusing. It all stemmed from a supposition that I knew where “John’s former gas station” was. Things went downhill from there. 😅 Thanks for the laugh, Matt!

[teenzset]

As a former Louisiana resident, I understood every word he said

[TNCSA]

as a Tennessean i thank you for saying what we all think when we hear " hi i just moved here from California "

[texasaggie]

As a native Texan I actually had a Ms Darlene and she gave directions as you go over yonder and …. Her father was a baptist preacher who was passed before I met her but he painted the winged pegasus sign on things across Texas. She was related to Buster Welch and once had a party where I met Tex Hill of the Flying Tigers. True story.

[gypsybelle]

I’m from Mississippi and I love Mrs. Darlene! She is a sweetheart. So accurate! I love that Mississippians wind up knowing somebody you do. ❤

[ItzSailorChaos]

The fact that I'm born and raise in SC and I knew exactly which Repent sign he's referring is sending me over 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[PaulGAckerman]

I lived in Texas for 23 years. Truer words have never been spoken. Texas has a monopoly on having miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles.

Florida man here. That part is spot on. If you want to give Cranky a tip, he loves those small yappy dogs the people that retire from New York love to walk along the edge of the lake.
