@@thelegoman1176 I'm not certain if you're serious or not, but just in case you are: Dolly is one of the kindest people in America. Actively uses her influence and stature to help others. Built libraries and donated books to existing ones. Open minded and open hearted. Pretty much universally loved/liked across the nation. Hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like her, and I'd say impossible to find someone who hates her.
I am a Washingtonian, far, far, far removed from Tennessee, and the MINUTE he started to question Dolly, I started going "Nope, nope, no, you do not do that, you have no excuse to do that." If we know her this far off, no way that Gov is going to come out unscathed.
There are two women from Tennessee that you don't question: Dolly Parton and the late Pat Summitt. We also lay claim to Oprah, Aretha, and Tina Turner and several others tho we have to share them. This state produces absolutely majestic women -- every single one of them strong, brilliant and beautiful.

@@lauraknight5973 as someone born and raised in Tennessee i can promise you if Dolly Parton so much as joked about being governor she'd be installed that day. To heck with Bill Lee, all hail queen Dolly.
Dolly really is a treasure. We enrolled our daughter in the imagination library, one book she got was written by Dolly (I am the Rainbow, iirc). We showed her Dolly's picture on the back and told her that Dolly wrote the book and has ben sending books for her. She then said "I love her." Also, on kiddos birthday we got an email of Dolly singing Happy Birthday for her. She loved it, went to sleep listening to it on repeat a few nights, was willing to listen to a few of Dolly's best songs another night.
I won't lie, but when I heard that Gov didn't know who Dolly Parton was, I was a bit insulted. This is coming from the guy who lives in the state where the main attraction to one of our amusement parks is Dolly Parton.
Did anyone else do the “Whoo” when he started singing Rocky Top? Also, you’re right about Dolly. She’s a treasure in every way. There’s even a Dolly themed hotel in Nashville and she’s on some of our license plates
You actually spelled Smoky Mountains correctly! My heart is happy. (Before anyone asks, a lot of people like to spell it Smokey, like the national park mascot. It really shouldn’t bother me as much as it does. However, you can sort of use it to tell who is and isn’t from the area, which is kind of funny.)
And, iirc, she held off on getting it for a while because she could quarantine & limit contact with others easily, but others couldn’t, or were more vulnerable, and she didn’t want to use her celebrity status to take one when so many others needed it.
Your missing one, Nashville is it’s own, so many tourists, so many California’s, it’s so easy to see a tourist there, you know can tell the difference, if they’re dressed like a cowboy or cow girl, there usually from out of town.
So it's like PA then? Because the only thing West PA and East PA hate more than each other is Central PA and their respective neighboring states. (East PA hates New Jersey, West PA hates Ohio.)
The ‘Dolly Parton can see 8 states from Rock City’ joke was so on point, I cracked up! Also yeah, no, Lookout Mountain may be partially in GA, but Lookout Mountain is in TN actually
Dolly Parton is an American treasure and I love her. She makes great music and is a wonderful person. She's one of the Queens of Country Music. In case you don't know any of the other Queens, here are some of them:Reba McIntyre, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, June Carter Cash, and the lovely Carrie Underwood.
As someone born and raised in Kentucky, but on the Ky Tn border, I think I connected more with this episode than Kentucky. Also, Jim Beam is made in Bourbon County KY, and Bourbon County is dry for anything over 5 percent.
That's a cardinal sin. Don't they know that Christ himself turned water into the finest wine and that was after they drained dozens of barrel of wine. If he was here today, he would have turned water into the finest whiskey.

There's a small brick obelisk in Murfreesboro that marks the geographic center of the state. It's just north of the MTSU campus, and my apartment was about a mile from it.
Born and raised in Memphis. But now I live in South Florida. There are "3 states of Tennessee" and they're nothing alike. Only thing I would have added was BBQ. Tennessee, especially Memphis, has the best period. And all the BBQ places have signs with a happy dancing pig inviting you to eat him. 🐷
You’ve made my day. As a Tennesseean, I’ve been waiting for this video since I stumbled across your content last year. I love all your videos but this one just made me really smile, which is what I needed today. So thank you.
I got to meet with dolly herself after one of her shows. (Tennesseean here btw) and she was the nicest person I think I'll ever meet. Dolly for queen of TN 2022!
I live like 20 minutes from Nashville and I can confirm that Old Hickory is HUGE. When applying for jobs if thats the street name you literally have to open maps to check which part cause it could end up being 45 minutes the opposite way then you're trying to go
Bell road makes Indian school look like childs play. You can take bell from 108th street to 184th Ave, but it then turns into sun valley parkway and goes to Palo Verde nuclear power plant. That's 72 miles
What makes it even worse is, old hickory is not one continuous road, it was broken up in the expansion of the city. Effectively creating multiple Old Hickory boulevards. And don't confuse the similar hickory hollow, that is yet another road name after a rather awful president.
Memphis should be an alternate personality of Tennessee like Austin is for Texas. I wholeheartedly agree with your representation of Tennessee lmfao. “It’s Memphis” extremely accurate.
I remember my little sister being so excited to get the free Dolly Parton books. Also, as a Memphis native, I can confirm that we're basically the only real city in West Tennessee. Like yeah, there's other cities, but they don't really... 𝘢𝘥𝘥 much, ya know?
My dad is from Tennessee, and when we moved back from England we lived in the upstairs apartment of my grandmother’s house there until my sister and I were around the age of two. By the way, Commodores > Volunteers.
Fun Dolly Fact for the US Government: Tennessee wanted to build a statue of her just a couple years ago, and she said she wasn't worthy yet. even though she's already the best person alive. That just made Tennessee want to build a statue of her even more.

Hi, East Tennessean here. COVID hasn't been too much of a problem in small towns but now, after paid COVID leave was removed in my workplace, everybody's been taking their turn with the Rona. We had a good run, boys
I grew up in middle Tennessee and the two genres are essentially classic rock and bluegrass. Country music isn’t as big as people suppose it is in Tennessee.
As a native Tennessean you got this spot on...also, Vols football.... Tennesseans pretty much don't really acknowledge their pro football team, but insult the Vols, their college football team, and you're in for a fight. Also, you'll have a fight if you yell "Roll Tide". I'd also like to point out how much people will fight you if you trash talk Dolly Parton, who is very liberal, which makes no sense given the extreme conservative environment of the state. She absolutely is a national treasure though.
She's done more for this state, and especially the historically poor eastern part of the state, than anyone, and we love and appreciate her for that regardless of her politics
I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life and don’t really pay attention to sports, but I legit had to look up our pro football team because I forgot that any team other than the Vols existed
That's Tennessee politics for y'all there. There's a difference between being liberal and voting liberal. Knox county/ Knoxville is corrupt no matter who's party is in charge, you're just voting for who'll be corrupt in your favor, it's a lot like Daley Era Chicago in that way, minus patronage that works.
@@ewhays I wouldn't say I've seen any blatant corruption from Mayor Jacobs. I mean, I've been way too busy to look for anything, but I haven't heard of any corruption or scandals from his office since he was elected
“Dolly could finish the Majesty building on I-4.” Now that’s saying something, because that building has been unfinished for over a decade now, and has been dubbed the “I-4 Eyesore”. As a Florida native, I’d know, considering how many times I’ve driven past it. I doubt anyone could finish it, but if anyone is up for the job, it’s definitely Dolly
I don't normally feel patriotic but all of this made me smile And yeah good fuckin luck on I-24. Ugh or I-40 Also I literally lived on old hickory boulevard for like 14 years lmao
You might want to check in on Kentucky there Ben. I think the state is sinking. The mountains are flooded and the waters keep rising. And hilariously the builders of the Arc are suing the insurance company for flood damage. Haha
Born and raised in Middle Tennessee and let me tell you Dolly is a deity. OHB is omnipresent If they are in Nashville and have a cowboy hat they are a tourist. Murfreesboro (yes that is how it is spelled) is the center of the state culturally with Memphis essentially being Missouri and Knoxville and Chattanooga being Georgia.

What I find _real_ funny about Dolly Parton, is that she lost a Dolly Parton lookalike competition. To a drag queen
Charlie Chaplin also once lost a Charlie Chaplin lookalike competition. I think Elvis did too.

This was pretty accurate from a someone in TN, the Old Hickory Blvd joke was too good
I'd even really like country music and even I know Dolly Parton is a national treasure
I grew up in middle Tennessee and the two genres are essentially classic rock and bluegrass. Country music isn’t as big as people suppose it is in Tennessee.
holyyyy that was one of the best intros to the table i’ve seen in a while, coming from a floridian who loved the dolly parton part
As a native Tennessean you got this spot on...also, Vols football.... Tennesseans pretty much don't really acknowledge their pro football team, but insult the Vols, their college football team, and you're in for a fight. Also, you'll have a fight if you yell "Roll Tide". I'd also like to point out how much people will fight you if you trash talk Dolly Parton, who is very liberal, which makes no sense given the extreme conservative environment of the state. She absolutely is a national treasure though.
She's done more for this state, and especially the historically poor eastern part of the state, than anyone, and we love and appreciate her for that regardless of her politics
I’ve lived in Tennessee my whole life and don’t really pay attention to sports, but I legit had to look up our pro football team because I forgot that any team other than the Vols existed
That's Tennessee politics for y'all there. There's a difference between being liberal and voting liberal. Knox county/ Knoxville is corrupt no matter who's party is in charge, you're just voting for who'll be corrupt in your favor, it's a lot like Daley Era Chicago in that way, minus patronage that works.
@@ewhays I wouldn't say I've seen any blatant corruption from Mayor Jacobs. I mean, I've been way too busy to look for anything, but I haven't heard of any corruption or scandals from his office since he was elected
@@ryanwilson5834 he doesn't have to be the actively corrupt one for corruption to flourish.
The FL laugh at the end of the intro always makes me smile.
I have never laughed so hard at this series than that Opryland joke. That hit me in the feels.
I remember going to Opryland. The mall is nice, but it feels like they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Excuse me, but Dolly Parton is a patron saint, thank you very much!
Native Tennesseean here and yes. It’s all true. Especially the part about Dolly being a national treasure. Gov needs a flogging for not knowing.
I’m from Tennessee; and this is awesome
“Dolly could finish the Majesty building on I-4.” Now that’s saying something, because that building has been unfinished for over a decade now, and has been dubbed the “I-4 Eyesore”. As a Florida native, I’d know, considering how many times I’ve driven past it. I doubt anyone could finish it, but if anyone is up for the job, it’s definitely Dolly
All roads in Nashville leads to Old Hickory Blvd is the most accurate statement about TN every. Hahah
0:51 RIP Gov
As a Memphian, I can confirm that Memphis is Memphis.
Seeing Florida actually get upset and a little frustrated over Gov not knowing Dolly was very cathartic.
I don't normally feel patriotic but all of this made me smile
And yeah good fuckin luck on I-24. Ugh or I-40
Also I literally lived on old hickory boulevard for like 14 years lmao
All i know about Murfreesboro is that Strong Bad likes the sound of it.
A human of class
Only lived in Tennessee for 3 years and this episode made me laugh so hard cause it's all true! 🤣
Live in Nashville off Old Hickory Blvd, can confirm you wind up there no matter where you go
Memphis needs it’s own character.
You might want to check in on Kentucky there Ben. I think the state is sinking. The mountains are flooded and the waters keep rising. And hilariously the builders of the Arc are suing the insurance company for flood damage. Haha
Tennessee 😍 My favorite state :D
Tennessee
Texas
Michigan ❤️
I love the Goo Goo Dolls reference
As a diehard UK fan, I felt Florida's pain for having to sing that song that I will not name.
"most of cuba is in Miami, but that's still Florida" damn that was hilarious
As a kid of Cuban dissent it made me break out into laughter
@@tella5026 I've known a few cuban dissidents myself and that's why I found it hilarious
@@mattrs1 it made me choke on my water
As a Tennessee Native I miss Opryland. Went almost every summer.
As a native Tennesseean this is completely accurate
Born and raised in Middle Tennessee and let me tell you
Dolly is a deity.
OHB is omnipresent
If they are in Nashville and have a cowboy hat they are a tourist.
Murfreesboro (yes that is how it is spelled) is the center of the state culturally with Memphis essentially being Missouri and Knoxville and Chattanooga being Georgia.
I loved how the Dolly Parton schtick was quickly devolving into a Chuck Norris meme. But in all seriousness, she's a treasure and must be protected.
Government: *excepts respect*
Also Government: *doesn't know dolly parton*
As a person that is born in South Florida all my life and living in Georgia now even I know who she is. She literally the queen.
Florida just saved Gov’s life.
I love your video's they make my day.
Rocky top Tennessee
Rocky top Tennessee.
Damnit, ya got me.
As someone born and raised in Tennessee I am dying from laughter.
I love Florida and Tennessee!
