I discovered Trae Crowder's comedy on an episode of Christopher Titus's Armageddon Update podcast. When this book came out I purchased both the Kindle version and the Audible narration. While the book is great on its own, the ability to hear it in the exact tone intended by the authors made it an even better read. But enough about the media, here is what I thought of the book.

Having grown up both in a very small town and travelling, this book touched a special place for me. Trae and Corey captured the reality of being a small town person AND an American travelling. If not careful, we can miss a lot by being self-centered and arrogant about our place in the world. When we take moment to stop and enjoy where we are travelling and the people we meet along the way, travel is much more about the journey than the destination (to appropriately corny this review up). These two "hillbillies" take the reader along with them as they visit new places and learn new things. At the same time, they do not disparage these other places and even laugh at themselves in new settings.

I highly recommend this book to small town folks, those who savor their travels, and anyone who just enjoys humor that does not cut down anyone else. ( )

Having not watched TV in over 30 years, I had not even heard of these comedians, but the premise of the book sounded good, and as a shamed Southerner myself, it seemed they were coming at things from the proper direction. And indeed they are. There's a lot of wisdom here (probably more wisdom than humor, even), and their takes on the places I have personally been, such as New Orleans, Charleston, Atlanta, and England are spot-on. Highly recommended. ( )

They say "across the pond" entirely too many times, but otherwise a smart, engaging, laugh-out-loud funny travelogue.

And cheers to Harper Horizon for not embargoing the digital audio, instantly available from HooplaDigital. ( )
