Wallethub ranked Arkansas 47th on the “fun” list and I demand a damn recount — like, who thinks we’re that boring? I rant about rivers, lakes, Razorback football, Crystal Bridges, float trips and more, and how Connecticut, Delaware and Rhode Island somehow outrank us (come on). Then we flip to the Morning 6-Pack and blast through a lightning Top Six of supposedly “fun” things to do in West Virginia. We drop bits about turning roadkill into an eight-course whatever, mullet-spotting, outhouse tipping, and a state aquarium that’s basically a bathtub with a bass. It’s short, salty, and hilarious — we laugh, we mock, and we keep the best punchline under wraps so you actually have to listen.
Takeaways:
We absolutely roast Wallethub for ranking Arkansas 47th, and I demand a damn recount, lol.
I list tons of Arkansas joys — Ozarks hiking, Razorback football, lakes, Crystal Bridges, blues, barbecue, camping.
We argue that fun ain't just Vegas nightlife; sometimes it's a cooler, a boat, and someone yelling, 'y'all, watch this!'.
I mock tiny states like Delaware and Rhode Island, and I still can't believe Connecticut somehow beat us.
We finish with a goofy West Virginia top-six bit full of trashy jokes: roadkill cuisine, mullets, outhouse tipping, bathtub aquariums.
Transcripts
Speaker A:
It's haystack.
Speaker A:
And Arkansas has apparently been informed we are not fun.
Speaker A:
Wallethub.
Speaker A:
Whatever collection of joyless spreadsheet nerds they are responsible for this thing ranked all 50 states by how much fun they offer.
Speaker A:
They claim this was based on entertainment, recreation, nightlife, attractions and other stuff.
Speaker A:
California was ranked number one.
Speaker A:
Florida came in second.
Speaker A:
Fine, whatever.
Speaker A:
I'm not even going to round out the top 10.
Speaker A:
I'm going to focus on the fact that Arkansas was third from the bottom.
Speaker A:
I guess it would be 47th or fourth from the bottom.
Speaker A:
47Th.
Speaker A:
Oh my goodness.
Speaker A:
Excuse me.
Speaker A:
There's only three states in America that are supposedly less fun than Arkansas.
Speaker A:
So Vermont.
Speaker A:
Mississippi.
Speaker A:
Thank God for Mississippi, as always.
Speaker A:
And West Virginia.
Speaker A:
Arkansas is 47th.
Speaker A:
We've got the Buffalo river, we've got the Ozarks, we've got lakes everywhere.
Speaker A:
Hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, camping, Razorback football, horse races, Crystal Bridges, the Walmart, amp bikes, blues and barbecue float trips, Beaver Lake, Hot Springs, Dixon Street.
Speaker A:
You can literally spend Saturday morning mountain biking through the woods, Saturday afternoon drinking something out of a mason jar, and Saturday night screaming woo pig sue with 70,000 other people.
Speaker A:
And you're telling me Connecticut is more fun than Arkansas?
Speaker A:
What are they doing in Connecticut that we don't know about?
Speaker A:
Hey, everybody, get in the car.
Speaker A:
We're going to Hartford.
Speaker A:
Nobody ever said that.
Speaker A:
Nobody ever.
Speaker A:
Delaware beat us.
Speaker A:
Delaware.
Speaker A:
Delaware's entire personality is companies register here for tax purposes.
Speaker A:
Rhode island beat us.
Speaker A:
Rhode island is so small, if you have too much fun, you accidentally end up in Massachusetts.
Speaker A:
New Hampshire beat us.
Speaker A:
The state motto of New Hampshire is Live free or die.
Speaker A:
Which sounds less like a tourism slogan, more like somebody losing an argument at Thanksgiving.
Speaker A:
Even Alabama beat Arkansas.
Speaker A:
And that is where I draw the line.
Speaker A:
Look, maybe Arkansas isn't Las Vegas.
Speaker A:
We don't have casinos on every corner or clubs that stay open till six in the morning.
Speaker A:
But maybe our definition of fun isn't standing in a velvet rope line for 45 minutes to buy $23 cocktails.
Speaker A:
Sometimes fun is a boat, a lake, a cooler, a grill, or somebody saying, hey, y', all, watch this.
Speaker A:
And Arkansas excels at hey, y', all, watch this.
Speaker A:
47Th.
Speaker A:
I demand a damn recount.
Speaker A:
Although, then again, at least we didn't come in dead last like West Virginia.
Speaker A:
Although surely there's at least six fun things to do in West Virginia.
Speaker B:
Well, gather round, folks.
Speaker B:
It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.
Speaker B:
Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.
Speaker B:
