As a Oklahoman, seeing my state talked about in detail is crazy since we get skipped over a lot, and seeing pictures of places I visit regularly on a vid is crazy, but yeah I’d say this vid is a solid comparison

He mentioned whataburger but not braums... But for real, this was a well made video. Our state (oklahoma) is kind of skipped over a lot lol

I live in North Texas. Because it's easier to take a road trip to nearby OK, I've been there several times. Surprisingly, OK is very beautiful. The people are also friendlier than the big cities of Texas

The “Texas Oklahoma rivalry” thing really just seems like Dallas versus Oklahoma. Houstonians don’t pay much attention to or hear about Oklahoma or have any shade for them. It’s okay Oklahoma, we hate Dallas too.

As someone who grew up in Oklahoma I thought our Native American history was more well known haha

Oklahoman here. I love how in detail he went when describing them in the modern day. One thing stood out to me: mountains. I absolutely love the hiking trails we have out by the Wichita Mountains. I live about an hour away from there but it's so worth the drive. On top of Mount Scott, you can see lakes, plains, the city of Lawton, and even part of the military base, as well as the wind turbines out a ways. It's absolutely beautiful. Another little note: as of lately, places near Vernon, Texas and places just south of Seminole, Oklahoma, have been hit pretty hard by tornadoes lately. But yes, Oklahoma got hit more. Moore is a hotspot for brutal tornadoes, and you can find videos on it. But don't let that keep you from giving that area of the state a visit. The city life here is pretty interesting. There's a place in the city called "Tamashii Ramen House" in Oklahoma City. They make traditional Japanese ramen, and in the interior part of the restaurant, they have 2 projectors that play 2 different animes on the wall. It's definitely a cozy place. And if you want quiet time, you can sit in the outside room with windows to see outside. Anyways, I'm rambling, but I definitely recommend giving Oklahoma a visit :)

Can't believe Wataburger got mentioned but not Sonic. And no mention of the Red River Bridge war.

I'm a100% S/C disabled veteran and used to live in TX. They offer 100% tax exempt on property tax. Once I heard about what OK offered Veterans that are 100% not only 100% property tax exemption but also we are exempt from any and all sales tax. So, I sold my home in TX and bought a home in OK. I am saving appx $4,000 a year in sales tax. All I can say is thank you to the state of OK for offering more to us 100% S/C Veterans.

I'm an Alaskan who recently moved to Oklahoma. I have lived in all 3 states at various times in my life. I am reminding you that Alaska is over 2 times the size of Texas and one third the size of the United States 🇺🇸 and I do love that even in the city, I can wave at someone and most likely get a wave back followed by a "howdy". I like to visit Texas and discuss how we could ship it (the state) to Alaska and use it as a parking lot if they don't stop bragging. Okies are humble and very hard working. Plus, in the sleepy community I live in, there are a lot of recent Texas Transpants here. Also, Aeronautical industries are big here with the FAA training center and Boeing and Lockheed also close by.

Oklahoma definitely is one of the most conservative states in the country. Not a single county in Oklahoma has voted Democrat in a presidential election since the year 2000.

I'm from Oklahoma. I've lived in Texas and California. Agree with the LA Dallas comparison. I hate both. lol After coming back to Oklahoma, I've discovered some amazing towns in Oklahoma. I prefer to keep Oklahoma small because I think all the influx really hurt Texas.

I love my home state of Oklahoma! There’s actually a lot of fascinating history of the state that could warrant its own video. In the summer of 1963, OKC volunteered to be a test subject to study effects of supersonic flight over land (it didn’t go well at all). Oklahoma also has surprisingly large percentages (compared to surrounding states) of Vietnamese and Lebanese people from early 20th century migrations. And a fun fact: Until 2018, liquor stores weren’t allowed to sell refrigerated beer. Medical marijuana actually became legal before the alcohol laws changed (even though the public voted for the latter two years prior).

Born and raised in Oklahoma Been here all my life Grew up in a small farm town of less than 400 people. Don’t see myself moving anywhere else anytime soon. Although there is a lot of rivalry with Texas. I think a most of us see Texas as a huge asset to this part of the country, politically, economically, socially. Gotta love our neighbors to the south. We will stand with them whenever they need us.

I'm from Oklahoma, my dad said that when the Moore Tornado hit, it was so powerful that it shook his house about 15 miles away in OKC and that if it had gone a few more miles it would have leveled downtown OKC

I was actually going to say that Oklahoma is more conservative than Texas, but at least you mentioned it. Texas does have conservatives, that's definitely true, but most of the big cities tend to be more liberal, like Dallas and Houston. Although Fort Worth and Arlington are more conservative.

Sister recently visited both for a few days each and decided to move to Northern Oklahoma instead of Texas because she said the land is more affordable, prettier scenery, and less populated. Also, said people in Oklahoma were much friendlier.

I’m a proud Okie! I loved this video, but there’s one thing I disagree with……Oklahoma is just as (if not MORE) crazy about football than Texas is. BOOMER SOONER! 💪🏻

Never knew about all of the details on the Native American history that is a part of Oklahoma's story. Thanks for sharing Mr. Beat!

I know most of us Texans talk shit about Oklahoma, but they're really like our little brother. Never met an Okie I didn't like.
