      Where do you live, Mr. Nick Johnson? In OK? You give a lot of recommendations with no evidence to back them up. Hope your real estate business is booming because your You Tube video productions stuck. You will pass off all Okies with your sour attitude about the quality of life in OK. You need an Attitude adjustment, man!! Are you crazy?

    Just came back from an 8-day visit to Oklahoma, and it wasn't what I expected. Much greener and hilly than I thought. People were very polite and I got none of the antagonism when I chose to wear a mask that I thought I'd get (I obviously look at social-media too much). Overall, it impressed me. Tulsa, particularly, is very nice - with its outdoor attractions, bike/pedestrian paths, and arts district, it reminded me of some of our Pacific Northwest cities like Portland and Eugene. Thanks for making me feel welcome, Oklahoma!

      Tulsa actually has one of the worst crime rates per capita in the country! I grew up there and didn't realize how dangerous it was until I moved away..we were subject to a lot of thefts, property damage, etc..but it seemed pretty normal at the time! I've heard Tulsa is on the up-and-up and it has changed a lot in the past few years. I have family who is moving back after 11 years overseas, and it seems a lot different now.

    I was raised and spent my young adulthood in Oklahoma, though work has taken me away for many years (to the DC area and also San Antonio). I think this was a pretty accurate and even-handed video, light-hearted throughout. I really do miss a lot of things about Oklahoma, and enjoy visiting there whenever I can, usually yearly or so. Thank you for highlighting the state's diversity of landscapes - that diversity would be downright shocking to many people, even to many Oklahomans, especially those who hang out almost exclusively in the OKC area. And the state's people are great. This is all making me homesick.

    I have lived in Oklahoma most of my 44 years and your video is mostly accurate. The meth problem isn't as bad as it was 10 years ago and I have never heard anyone say YEE YEE. The OU/OSU thing is true. Broken Bow area is really improving if you are an outdoorsman you can rent a really nice cabin down there some of them are big enough to sleep over 10 people and you can enjoy some fly fishing and go hiking or look for a Bigfoot. Lawton and Midwest City are definitely places to stay away from. In the last year I have been all over Southeast Oklahoma fishing around and the decline of the small towns is sad. A lot of them are so run down and I have noticed a lot of burned down houses in almost every small town I drove through. On the plus side the metro areas, OKC and Tulsa, just seem to be getting bigger and getting new businesses there are a lot of new houses being built. One thing about Oklahomans is that almost everyone here knows more about tornadoes and thunderstorm than most people, we even know all the meteorological terms and what they mean. We are well informed on severe weather. Check out the National Weather Museum in Norman.

      Yee Yee is a brand term made famous by country singer Granger Smith, who was born and lives in Texas. A lot of country fans say it but it’s not an Okie-ism.

      Actually Kansas and Florida has the most lightning density. Texas and Kansas has the most lightning strikes from cloud to ground. Florida has the most frequency of lightening and has the most deaths per yr than any other state do to the atlantic breeze moving over solar heated land. This lifts the moist air masses that host thunderstorms. Therefore Florida has the most lightning and more deaths due to a thin state as where Texas has bigger land and less people per capita allowing for less deaths from lightning. Little Florida has more frequency than big TX. LA would be a close 2nd for deaths. FL actually has from Cape Canaveral to Tampa which is known as Lightning Alley.

    Great video as always! I went to Oklahoma to "meet the parents" for a holiday weekend. We took a puddle jumper plane from DFW to OK, and I don't recommend that. I think 'somebody' wanted to show her friends how we spend money, maybe. Saw the 'Jesus of the Whichitas' monument, and the military base. They took me to some place where supposedly nobody finishes the hamburger, but I could have eaten 2 of them. I went to a tiny gym for a one-off visit, and saw the first Ford GT, that I had ever seen in person. I got to watch some Dallas Cowboys football with some authentic locals, and thought that was cool, being pretty alone doing that on the east coast. I bought some OSU sunglasses in a gas station. We went out drinking in a club, and I was glad to be part of a set of couples, because the men in there looked like the O-Line for OU football, not openly threatening, but the kind you wouldn't want to ask their date to dance and try to live to tell about it. On average, it looked like a nice state. The people I met up close did like to drink and smoke cigarettes until the room fogged up so bad, you couldn't see through it. You could definitely see the ease with which people could fall economically without some educational advantage. Any place where people are living very free, and not having a lot of outside influence is going to feel that way. It would be hard to choose over Texas given the proximity and opportunity differences. Just having access to DFW airport by car could be an edge there.

    I moved to Oklahoma near Durant about 2 years ago. The shitting on small towns in this video is alittle excessive. Sure there are problems, but I've learned that people in this state are some the nicest most helpful people I've known. They aren't stuck up around here and are super happy to have conversations. Oklahoma isn't that bad imo. The scenery as you travel accross this state is amazing. Ive been in the Kiamchi mountains across to the sand dunes of Little Saraha state park. This state has alittle bit of everything.

    Yee Yee is an apparel brand put out by TEXAN band called Granger Smith. The boys and girls here in Oklahoma find it in country/ western clothing stores (ie: Cavenders). It became "a thing" with the teeny bops in the past 5 years or so. Remember the Guess jeans popularity of the '90s? Kinda the same thing.👍 Mostly, we're just Okies, we do own that😁

    I'm a southern Californian living in northern Oklahoma now. It was a massive cultural shock. It took years to adjust, but now, during these crazy, shifting times, I'm super grateful to be HERE. New cultures and imports are moving in and helping to evolve the mindsets, but the locals are stubborn. Ive never heard the term "yee-yees", but it's an accurate description🤣
    Oklahoma girls are very pretty....it's the makeup! But can be competitive and clicky. There is a lot of creativity and talent here, with a non defeatist attitude. It's a great place for people who work online and want to raise a family and food on a lot of open space! 🥰
