Alabama Bama is back, and boy, does she have some hot takes on the latest ranking of the happiest cities in America! Spoiler alert: she thinks it’s a total joke, especially since Fargo, North Dakota made the list. I mean, c’mon, who’s happy in a tube top in January? Bama’s all about that sunshine and margaritas, and she’s got some hilarious insights on what really matters for happiness—hint: it’s not about low divorce rates or physical fitness! So grab your favorite snack and get ready to giggle as we dive into Bama’s wild world of wisdom and witticisms. Trust me, you don’t wanna miss this one!

Takeaways:

  • Alabama Bama thinks Fargo can't be happy if it means bundling up in winter gear.
  • Bama believes happiness is all about mindset—and maybe a little tequila on the side.
  • Seven divorces? Who needs a happy city when you can keep it lively, like Bama!
  • The happiest places might not be so happy if you can't wear a tube top.

  • If Bama can be happy after all her ups and downs, we can too—bring on the margaritas!

Transcripts

Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack, one of my favorite times of the week when we chat with my dear old friend Bama down in rural Alabama.

Speaker A:

And she joins us on the phone.

Speaker A:

Now, Bama, did you see they put out the listing?

Speaker A:

The ranking of the happiest cities in America?

Speaker B:

Oh, I seen that, Haystack.

Speaker B:

And let me tell you, that is a bunch of lies.

Speaker B:

They had Fargo, North Dakota on that list.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, Fargo was in the top five.

Speaker A:

I think it was.

Speaker A:

It ranked pretty high.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Now, I ain't never been to no Fargo, but I can tell you right now, anywhere that gets so cold you can't dress like no hoochie mama is not gonna make me happy.

Speaker A:

I don't think that was one of the official metrics.

Speaker B:

Oh, I seen their metrics.

Speaker B:

Physical fitness, low divorce rates, stupid crap.

Speaker B:

Honey, I get winded doing self checkout at the Walmart, and I've been divorced seven or eight times, and I am nine margaritas deep happy every ding d day.

Speaker A:

So wait a minute.

Speaker A:

You're telling me happiness is more of a mindset?

Speaker B:

Well, yeah, exactly.

Speaker B:

It's about your attitude.

Speaker B:

And tequila.

Speaker B:

Well, mostly the tequila.

Speaker A:

Well, now, I don't think that's how the study defined it.

Speaker B:

Well, that's why their study is wrong.

Speaker B:

You show me one happy person in Fargo, North Dakota, wearing a tube top in January, I'll wait.

Speaker B:

Go ahead.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I don't.

Speaker A:

That's probably gonna take a while.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that's right.

Speaker B:

That's what I thought.

Speaker B:

Anyway, I gots to go.

Speaker B:

My trucker friends are letting me tan on top of his 18 we so I can get closer to the sun.

Speaker A:

Now, Bama, that doesn't sound too safe.

Speaker B:

It's called commitment to happiness, Haystack.

Speaker B:

Try doing that in that stupid old Fargo.
