Spot on! I forgot about the Texas Pledge. I think that was in 4th or 5th grade for me. But everything was insanely spot on. Missed on how Texas is big on agricultural, so science electives are very important. Not to be a scientist, but to be able to take care of your livestock. Basically become your own vet
I still know it by rote. We said that thing every. Damn. Morning. Elementary through high school. Go to your class room. Morning bell rings and the overhead says, "please stand for the pledge of allegiance." Stand with right hand over heart for national pledge. Move hand away from heart and hold the arm at an angle to the side (like when someone in court swears to be truthful) with your hand about level with your head and say, "Honor the Texas flag. I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas. One state under God, one and indivisible." Moment of silence. Begin class. Every. Damn. Day.
Jesus Christ, I'm a Texan and I... yeah. Everything was spot on. Nail on the head accurate. It wasn't even exaggerated. It was just correct. If you're not from texas, you may think he was playing it up for laughs, but no. He wasn't.
I moved to Georgia from Texas, and people always ask me what it's like. "It's its own thing". That's the only way I can describe Texas. It's flat and it's it's own thing lol. Still love it, and heck yeah they have best BBQ in the nation! No BBQ sauce required
It’s good that the “Don’t Mess With Texas” got clarified. There are so many people that *live* here that don’t know it’s original purpose was as an anti litter campaign.
@@DeathnoteBB They switched to Adopt a Highway. Our community participates and cleans up a 2 mile stretch on the main road leading to the community. We do it twice a year during community clean up days.
As a Texan I can attest that everything stated was accurate 😅. We have our own pledge and recite it after the American one. The mums are mostly around homecoming and have bells on them along with trinkets, and can be Up to 30pounds. We also have the best brisket no question about it. And yes in 5th grade we spent a week learning how to square dance, line dance, and a few others. Texas history is required aside world and American history. Buc-ee's is awesome has extremely clean restrooms it's more of a large truck stop though and whataburger is actually good (they have locations in other states as well but not as many). HEB is amazing and they give out lots of free samples. Oh and we have Bluebonnet, catfish and fair festivals. We have an abundance of ranches as well and rodeos are so important people will take a leave off of school or work to go compete, often counting as a UIL credit or win cash money the events can be anything from art to floral to animal husbandry (we also have something called a rodeo clown). We focus a lot on agriculture, and Houston is the cultural center of the south! It's very flat and depending on where you visit it can be humid all year and blistering hot or dry and snowy! Fun fact Austin started the breakfast taco, and howdy is said but very infrequently unless you're at the rodeo, joking around, or are from out in the country. You can also find a Texas flag pretty much anywhere you look, all of my classes had a flag and usually there is some type of Texas pun or star shaped art (Texas is the lone star state) The rangers are the best, seriously they sent a swat team to take out a hijacked 18 wheeler and the swat team couldn't do it so the rangers went off roading and got onto the road with the car and shot out the tires. And most of the people in Texas should know a fairly decent amount of Texas unless they dropped out of highschool 😃
I never learned how to line dance or square dance. I went to school in Dallas until the middle of my sophomore year and now im in San Antonio. I remember seeing people break out into a line dance and me just starting not knowing what to do
Yep, not a truck stop. No Semis allowed. It's just the biggest and best "car stop". I just can't figure out why they skipped over Louisiana and built in Alabama, Florida, and soon Mississippi. 😡

My sister had 3 of them, each mum is as big as your face and the ribbons can be over 3 feet in length. They are gigantic.

Eh, it's really a different kind of BBQ. Texas is big on beef, especially brisket. You don't really want much except a good dry rub. The sauce we do use has more of a southwestern influence. Really it's more Kansas/Missouri that you'd see the rivalry with, maybe Tennessee a bit over the dry rub. The other BBQ states, especially the Carolinas, do a lot of pork, which is part of the reason there are so many different sauces in that part of the country, and honestly, they're all pretty good. But you'd never put much sauce on a good brisket (I wouldn't put any on it, except maybe as a marinade before smoking it), and a dry rub works on ribs, but not super well on a lot of other pork dishes like pulled pork. If you go to a BBQ place for the first time, look up what they specialize in. It's rare for them to have more than 1 or 2 things they do really well. For example, a place that does good brisket rarely has pulled pork as good as the brisket and vice versa. Turkey is almost always a safe bet. If they can't smoke a turkey right, it's unlikely the rest of the food will be good. Even Dicky's has good turkey and their Brisket is terrible. States are similar but there will always be restuarants that don't follow state trends. Texas does brisket really well and it's hard to find comparable brisket unless it's in another state that's big on it. On the other hand, the Texas pulled pork I've had isn't that great (not talking about carnitas, just sterotypical "murican" BBQ).
Texas is the king of beef. Carolina is better at pork. Texas also does good chicken, but that's mostly because we have so many Mexicans, and they know chicken.
Great job on Texas, one thing you missed that you can fix in another video is that Texas and Tennessee are similar to Florida and Louisiana in friendliness they just don't get into as much trouble. Kinda like "if you're in trouble we got your back" kinda thing. Started with the Volunteers in the Alamo and Texas now gives in state tuition costs at any college/university to anyone from Tennessee because of it
Actually, HEB stands for Howard E Butt, the guy who started it. Well, he inherited his mother's store and changed the name from hers to his. I used to work there and that was part of the training...
Honestly pretty spot on. Especially the parts about Buccees and HEB. Although originally the store was called HEB after oats founder, Henry Edward Butts, but they have been rebranding it as “Here Everything is Better”, so you’re ok
@@TerryChick23 that's the business name. It's stands for hear everyone belongs or hear everything is better if you want to follow the dogma indoctrination the employees are taught.
As someone who spent a few years in a Texas elementary school before moving back to Georgia, you’re spot on with them having a pledge of allegiance to Texas. I always manage to blow the minds of people that never went to school in that state with that little fact. 😂 …That and the fact that our school didn’t have doors to most of the classrooms, fake fold-out walls to divide a few of them (so you could absolutely hear the next class over overlapping your current one with ease), and once spent a good chunk of our third grade year turning an entire class block into an assembly line to make bookmarks for a fundraiser because the school wasn’t allotted enough money. You know-to ‘teach how the means of production’ worked.
I really do go to H‑E‑B once a week 😭 Their cereals slap. Also, Texas teachers are doing their best but there is DEFINITELY an emphasis on sports at Texas high schools. 😥
Buc-ees being the best truck stop is a funny one. I've never seen one that doesn't have "no trucks" signs scattered across the lawn like plastic flamingos.
Common consensus among country sheriff's is, that more guns in the hands of good people makes their job easier. Cops can't be there to defend you all of the time but you can be.
Mom got a great education in Texas school she went to. Came out learning how to speak and read Gaelic ,Spanish, Old English, middle English and modern English. She don't even have a Texas accent she has an Irish accent it's what occurs when you grow up in an Irish community in Texas everything is celebrated. She grew up singing Gaelic and learning Irish dance, native American dance , Mexican dance and square dancing.
As a native and current Oregon resident, I can say that H.E.B. is the best grocery chain I've ever had to shop at. H.E.B. and the concerts I attended were my favorite parts of living in Texas for 3years.
Texas: "Can I sit here?" DC: "Uhh... what are you doing with that double-barrel?" "Oh this is just my good ol' pal. Anyway, can I sit here?" New York: "...no this is reserved for-" "VERY NICE OF YOU TO ALLOW TEXAS TO SIT, NEW YORK" "...but what about Alas-" *heavy whispering* "YOU DON'T GODDAMN HELP MATTERS DO YOU??"
I'm from Florida, and every single hurricane season when we'd go to the shelter, Publix would bring volunteers and "food", but it was really just cakes, cookies and a bunch of other snack foods. 😭😭
Kroger sucks and all of their greedy actions make them worse. Closing stores just to not pay employees a slight hazard increase during the pandemic. I’ve lived in 47/50 states and Kroger isn’t even in my top ten. But if the one near you is good, that’s great. So many stores fluctuate in quality from region to region it’s aggravating.
I do feel kind of hurt that no mention of Texas instruments, Dell, or Compaq starting here. While cali has silicon valley to make programs most of those programs run on Texas made equipment.... ok texas owned company made equipment.

I'm from Texas and EVERY morning at school we have a school pledge, the Texas pledge, and the American pledge. There's a lot of pledges.
I'm a Floridian who lived in Texas for a few years and ya... HEB is amazing. It's a bigger Publix with Walmart prices
and combos locos!
As a Floridian currently living in Texas, I miss Publix 😢
@@clairepardee8387 what do you miss about Publix?
@@chanceDdog2009 Publix subs, hot and spicy wings, chicken strips
@@clairepardee8387 PubSubs are the best subs! Especially their chicken tender sub!
Thank you Ben for keeping us smiling. Hope you come to Texas soon. Stay safe.
I am loving the sass from Gov rn! And the bloopers at the end!! 😂😂😂
Great job on Texas, one thing you missed that you can fix in another video is that Texas and Tennessee are similar to Florida and Louisiana in friendliness they just don't get into as much trouble. Kinda like "if you're in trouble we got your back" kinda thing. Started with the Volunteers in the Alamo and Texas now gives in state tuition costs at any college/university to anyone from Tennessee because of it
I so felt that "words are hard" at the end lmao
Actually, HEB stands for Howard E Butt, the guy who started it. Well, he inherited his mother's store and changed the name from hers to his. I used to work there and that was part of the training...
As a life long proud Texan it pains me to admit after watching your videos I'm actually florida.
Honestly pretty spot on. Especially the parts about Buccees and HEB. Although originally the store was called HEB after oats founder, Henry Edward Butts, but they have been rebranding it as “Here Everything is Better”, so you’re ok
When everyone knows that H.E.B actually stands for Herbert E. Butts
*Howard Edward Butt*
@@TerryChick23 that's the business name.
It's stands for hear everyone belongs or hear everything is better if you want to follow the dogma indoctrination the employees are taught.
As someone who spent a few years in a Texas elementary school before moving back to Georgia, you’re spot on with them having a pledge of allegiance to Texas. I always manage to blow the minds of people that never went to school in that state with that little fact. 😂 …That and the fact that our school didn’t have doors to most of the classrooms, fake fold-out walls to divide a few of them (so you could absolutely hear the next class over overlapping your current one with ease), and once spent a good chunk of our third grade year turning an entire class block into an assembly line to make bookmarks for a fundraiser because the school wasn’t allotted enough money. You know-to ‘teach how the means of production’ worked.
I really do go to H‑E‑B once a week 😭 Their cereals slap.
Also, Texas teachers are doing their best but there is DEFINITELY an emphasis on sports at Texas high schools. 😥
Especially football. Nothing else matters until football season is over
I was born in Texas and have never heard of a state song. The Alamo joke was the best.
4:00 ok Florida is just feeding the shipping at this point (ty Florida)
As a native Texan I was waiting for this video! 100% accurate. 🤣
A Texas school once tried to expel me for refusing to pledge allegiance to Texas. They failed
We’re gonna keep our eye on you🤠🤠🤠
Buc-ees being the best truck stop is a funny one. I've never seen one that doesn't have "no trucks" signs scattered across the lawn like plastic flamingos.
I knew as soon as Texas mentioned Oklahoma, he was gonna pop up. Don't worry, Texas. We know you're obsessed with us.
I live right on the border and I honestly never think about it unless someone else mentions it.
Loving the bloopers at the end of these! I hope OK gets to join the table soon!
Common consensus among country sheriff's is, that more guns in the hands of good people makes their job easier. Cops can't be there to defend you all of the time but you can be.
everything’s bigger in…Alaska
Ha! Just the animals that can kill ya.
You should talk to Colorado about that😂😂🤣 freaking great
I'm from Colorado, but I'm feeling stupid/ignorant because I don't know what he's referring to here.
@@jessodum3103 it referring to us having legalized weed. Our flag is"higher" lol
Shocked me that Texas's words reminded me stuff we actually used to do in school.
Thanks.
I want a video with nothing but bloopers 😻😂💀
I'm loving these outtakes. They are awesome!
3 things
Whataburger, Dr. Pepper and Ranch Dressing which is Texas ketchup
Jalapeno ranch dressing at whataburger
Ranch dressing was invented in Alaska
Nah, we got ketchup. It's spicy though.
@@LegendStormcrow evolution is among us. I saw that at Walmart
only if its it whataburger spicy ketchup, but i would rather dip my fries in bbq sauce than ketchup
As a Texan I can confirm this is correct especially the part about Whataburger, Buckees and HEB
I was waiting for Maryland to appear and say "did somebody say state pride?"
My dad saw a car with a sticker of the outline of Texas patterned with the Maryland flag. My dad was so confused.
At the last part I was expecting North Carolina, Tennessee and other states coming in saying they got the best BBQ
I'm waiting for washington and the split we have for the east and west sides
I swear I was going to say "State or DC”, but then I remembered DC isn’t a state (Even though it wants to be).
Yes please!
Texas is split North, East, and West. I don’t think it’s gonna happen.
@@brockkelly4841 As a south Texan, I am offended.
@@theromanus shut up you’re not real -N.T.
Glad to see Colorado mentioned here, and I am not even mad.
Should of had New York coming in with Wegmans being the best grocery store
I remember learning dancing in elementary school, to the old school country artists! Achy Breaky heart! Mums were the shit too!
"i thought there would be more guns. oh well." oh florida, i thought the same thing
We like to conceal carry
As someone who isn’t originally Texan but has lived here for many years, I agree about all those statements lol.
I legitimately called Whataburger, Buc-ee's, and H.E.B. the holy trinity out loud before you brought them up. You really got the state down well, huh?
Mom got a great education in Texas school she went to. Came out learning how to speak and read Gaelic ,Spanish, Old English, middle English and modern English. She don't even have a Texas accent she has an Irish accent it's what occurs when you grow up in an Irish community in Texas everything is celebrated. She grew up singing Gaelic and learning Irish dance, native American dance , Mexican dance and square dancing.
As a bonafide, born and raised, Texan...I approve!
As a native and current Oregon resident, I can say that H.E.B. is the best grocery chain I've ever had to shop at. H.E.B. and the concerts I attended were my favorite parts of living in Texas for 3years.
I do love pointing out that it was an anti litter campaign.
The *best* Anti litter campaign.
"I just teach mine how to run from Gators"... that is surprising true they did actually teach that at my elementary school in Miami
You know what I’ve realized? Florida has never joined the table yet, he’s just always at the table lol
I agree. I'm just over here thinking "How did Florida even know how to call all the States?" Like, seriously, what's his back story?
Hell yeah, Gainesville rock city! Third wave ska was pretty awesome 😀🏁
I feel like Florida + Texas - Guns = Australia
1:31 This is an awesome reference, especially Florida's "damn it"
How did this not include CA and TX fighting over whether Whataburger or In-N-Out is the superior burger joint?
Because it’s not an argument. Whataburger is better lol
I never realized how much normal stuff is like super patriotic to others. I'm Texan and I've heard/lived through all of that that Texas said.
Texas: "Can I sit here?"
DC: "Uhh... what are you doing with that double-barrel?"
"Oh this is just my good ol' pal. Anyway, can I sit here?"
New York: "...no this is reserved for-"
"VERY NICE OF YOU TO ALLOW TEXAS TO SIT, NEW YORK"
"...but what about Alas-"
*heavy whispering* "YOU DON'T GODDAMN HELP MATTERS DO YOU??"
Texas: "Buckee's" Biggest and best truck stop in the country
Iowa: Laughs in "Iowa 80"
Heck yeah! HEB! The only thing that would of made it better is if he said "Here Everything's Better at My HEB"
I'm from Florida, and every single hurricane season when we'd go to the shelter, Publix would bring volunteers and "food", but it was really just cakes, cookies and a bunch of other snack foods. 😭😭
HEB is hands down the best grocery store. Wish they had them here.
As a Texan I have to say Kroger beats them and that hurts
Kroger sucks and all of their greedy actions make them worse. Closing stores just to not pay employees a slight hazard increase during the pandemic. I’ve lived in 47/50 states and Kroger isn’t even in my top ten. But if the one near you is good, that’s great. So many stores fluctuate in quality from region to region it’s aggravating.
I have only met one Texan in my life.
He’s a history teacher.
can i call myself disappointed we didn't see Austin here?
"😕 Are your children 🦚s?" Hilarious and adorable 😝
"That still doesn't seem like substance."
*Gestures in current Texas events*
🤣 Words are hard.
Biggest truck stop in the country is in Iowa, it’s the I80. Buc-ee is the world’s largest car wash. Just for anyone that cares
“Are you gonna reinstate the mask mandate”
“And make it harder to yell at Oklahomans on the border!?”
I lost it lmfao
As someone who took Texas History in the 7th grade, all this checks out. Except Buckeys being a truck stop. They're not allowed actually.
“Here we just teach kids how to run from gators!” That sounds like a stereotypical Florida joke but it’s an actual fact 😔
Got to zig zag
"H.E.B. is the best grocery store"
New York: *laughs in Wegmans*
I do feel kind of hurt that no mention of Texas instruments, Dell, or Compaq starting here. While cali has silicon valley to make programs most of those programs run on Texas made equipment.... ok texas owned company made equipment.
3:24 /puts on pork pie hat
/dance to the sound of the sax
WELL DONE!
