My South is south Louisiana, so the food is different, but the spirit is the same. I will add, though, that the south is built on the backs of black people, so defining the "South" without mentioning the black experience is a bit disingenuous, don't you think? I'm sure you do, I'm not trying to poke at you, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
Great post. I’m new to your blog but this will keep me coming back. Reminds me of all the summers I spent with my grandparents in Dinwiddie and Smithfield, VA. I’ve lived in New England for the past 40 years but my 400-year-old Virginia roots still run deep.
My wife and i thoroughly enjoy all that you do. Your videos on Twitter are ridiculously funny. If laughter is the best medicine, you sir, should have a PhD. 💯
Thank you for inspiring me to delete my Twitter account. The latest Bubba Shot The Podcast was fantastic. Goodbye Earl is a very special song. I was 19 in a very abusive relationship with my own Earl. That song gave me the strength to leave.
My late-father was from Mississippi. We were taught that was bad by my Japanese mother, who had divorced him. Thanks to you and the other progressive Southern comedians I can embrace my Southern roots and be proud Thanks and Love you tons. xoxo
You are young enough to be my son, but I have many of my same memories and associations are suggested in your essay. Your piece was evocative and lovely reading to the ear of a southerner who also appreciates the "issues" dominating southern culture.
60 yo lesbian here. Of course I love sports but no dips for me. I like my chips straight.😁

Also, I am a fan of all that you do,,
I'm blaming NyQuil for my typos. At least it's not covid. Proudly vaxxed.
Hey, that’s my south too except Eulene was called Aunt Carrie by the community and she was actually an Aunt to over half of them.
This was fantastic! Appalachian metronome! Thanks.

I love this so much. I grew up in what was once a small town and this was beautiful
Even with all of our faults, I wouldn't want to live anywhere other than the South.
