Round Here and Over Yonder
Round Here and Over Yonder: A Front Porch Travel Guide by Two Progressive Hillbillies (Yes, thats a thing.) | Trae Crowder, Corey Ryan Forrester
6 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
Join Southern comedian duo Trae Crowder and Corey Ryan Forrester in this hilarious and irreverent travel guide as they wander about ponderin' the peculiarities beyond their small-town front porches. Trae and Corey will take you from the smallest of small towns to major US metropolises (or is it metropoli? We haven't a fartin' clue!). They'll even cross the pond to sip tea in some of them fancy kings-and-castles places that PBS Viewers Like You can't stop yapping about. From Chickamauga to Cheyenne, New York to New Orleans, Seattle to Scotlandno matter where these two wandering jesters go, there's something to roast, something to toast, and something to learn about what ties us together as humans. Even the most outrageous of us. In this book you'll find: Loads of eccentric things folks say. Seriously well-informed tips on exactly where to eat and what to order in each city. Anecdotes from Corey about everything from "German Mardi Gras" in Helen, Georgia, to eatin' over-priced rabbit in Napa, California. Travel bingo boards and ad-libs for your own adventures. And as many off-the-beaten-path jokes as can be packed into 256 pages! Perfect for anyone who: Likes to travel. Loathes to travel. Any Southerner who's both a little proud and a little ashamed of the South (that's all the sane ones). Any Northerner, Midwesterner, or West Coaster who wants to know what two self-proclaimed rednecks have to say about their own hometown. Anyone from the UK who thinks us Yanks are the craziest folks on God's green earth (cause this book will likely confirm that stereotype, yup).

Very short, snappy, humor bits on different places visited by the authors. I enjoyed the U.S. parts more but it is easier to laugh at one‘s self.

Finished this up during lunch on this wonderful spring day. This was a read some/listen some because I just had to hear them tell some of these stories! If you like the comedy antics of these guys , you‘ll probably get a kick out of this book. I snort laughed aloud plenty!

Suet624 Trae is 🔥🔥🔥 8mo
Ericalambbrown @Suet624 I adore him! The rants he tapes in his car on current events are 100% pure giggle fuel for me. My guy and I come from a long line of Missouri hillbillies so we get being of the “W-T persuasion” as he says. 😂 (edited) 8mo
Suet624 He has helped me guffaw during some dark times. He‘s the best. 8mo
Ericalambbrown @Suet624 SAME!!! He‘s a treasure 💕 8mo

This was a humorous travel guide written by two comedians from small Southern towns that didn‘t travel much until adulthood. They wrote funny short blurbs about expected places like Nashville, but also chose less well known ones like the German “historical” village of Helen, Georgia, iykyk 😂😂. I didn‘t enjoy the second half where they traveled to the UK because the chapters were longer and less punchy, but a fun a #borrownotbuy.

This is a fun little travelogue. I appreciate that the writers take such evident enjoyment out of seeing the world, seeing the world as themselves, and that their identities are multilayered enough that they‘ll talk ceaselessly of beer but also mention the Tardis.

Ericalambbrown I ordered this from my local bookshop and keep forgetting to pick it up! I need to do that because I love these two! 1y

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Okay, but Lexington is not the biggest city in the Commonwealth. Get it right. Having lived 3/4 of my 42 years in Kentucky and Tennessee, plus a couple years in Alabama, I really enjoyed the southern pieces. I‘ve been following Crowder on social media for a few years and I like the “liberal redneck” vibe. Both authors did a nice job narrating. This is just what I needed to break up my October spooky reading.

OrangeMooseReads I love Trae 1y
