Oklahoma Stereotypes

We talk with Roni, the super awesome chick behind the Oklahoma Explorer Instagram Page this week all about Oklahoma. We take some time to talk about how Natural Falls State park started the Oklahoma Explorer project, Travel Ok, Atlas Obscura, and of course the many roadside attractions in the state. Courtney refuses to believe anything other than Will-Hay Nelson is the coolest no matter what the results of Roni's Instagram votes say. She's sure the Blue Whale of Catoosa is cool and all but Willie will always be a winner in her heart. 

We talk about deep fried butter, a food Jay just can't quite get over, calf fries, festivals, and noodling. We learn about the Oklahoma way to pronounce words like Miami and Prague, and Jay learns there is more than one meaning behind the letters PBR.

We are all guilty of stereotyping from time to time. Stereotypes don’t always have to be a bad thing; they come from somewhere, right?

Instead of trying to look past the stereotypes, maybe some good can come from embracing them and the individual cultures each state has. After all it is a big country and so there are bound to be some differences.

So with y’alls help we want to spend this season investigating and answering one of Courtneys most in-depth questions yet…

Which state has the coolest stereotype in America?
