- Hey, I'm Mary Patterson Broome.
And we are here with - Christopher Harress
- Our Scottish pal,
and we are playing Name That Southern Thing.
(country music)
So I'm gonna pull out some very famous Southern landmarks
or live human beings and we need you
to identify them to see how Southern you really are
'cause you've been here, what, three years now?
- Three and a half years.
- So Chris, how would you rate your skillset on this topic?
- My instinct is to say really, really poor.
Like this isn't gonna go very well for me.
- Right, are you up on pop culture?
(country music)
- Like nah.
- That's a no.
- Just Scottish pop culture. - That was a no.
Okay all right. - "Outlander." (laughter)
- Well. - Tell your mum.
- We'll see how he does.
Let's start with an easy one.
Come on.
- Uh, that's
Beyonce.
- Yes, (dinging) that is Beyonce.
That's the Queen B straight outta Houston.
- She's from Houston?
- She's from Houston.
All right, okay, that was an easy one,
even though it's a young Beyonce pic.
- I do listen to her music, but not like,
it's not my go to music.
But her music videos are phenomenal!
I'll watch those.
- You can appreciate her art.
- Yes, she's iconic.
I will listen to anything.
Well I'm not really into country music.
- This challenge about to get difficult.
- Although country Tik Tok is worth your time
'cause that is bizarre stuff.
- I'ma throw you an easy one, another American treasure.
- Okay. - Do you know who this is?
- Yes, and the reason I know is
because I don't know why she has this name.
Her name's Reba, right? - Yes!
- Yes, what's her last name?
- Now come on; that's a Southern fact you should know.
But that's also, that's a sign for her.
She's so iconic now that the Scottish people just know her
by first name.
She's like Cher.
You wanna take a gander guess at the last name?
- Reba.
No, don't (babbling)
Shoot, Reba Smith. (dramatic sting)
- Reba McEntire! (buzzing)
- Oh, okay!
That's a Scottish name.
- Is that a Scottish name? - McEntire?
- I should know that; I watch "Outlander."
- Yeah, I was in "Outlander."
Good hair. - Gosh, Reba.
Great hair, great hair. - Very Southern,
very Southern hair.
- Did you see it?
Chris, did you see it? - No, I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
- That is um, that's a store.
Oh, I do know this.
I've been in!
- It's a chain.
- Yeah, I know, I just, I've lost it for a minute.
(drumming) I go in there and that's
where I get my camo from, my camo hat.
- Do you hunt?
- (laughing) I don't hunt.
- Do you get camo?
- No.
- You don't?
- No, I don't want to get lost. ("Seinfeld" theme)
This is called Salmon World.
Is it?
- That is so close!
- Uh, fish - It's Bass Pro!
- Damn it!
- But I really think it should start going by Salmon World.
- I would go there.
- We're gonna give you this (dinging)
'cause Salmon World is so close to Bass Pro.
Don't you think I should give it to him for that?
Okay.
- Thank you.
- We have another famous Southern landmark.
Let's see how our Scottish boy does.
- That's a landmark?
- Yeah.
- It just looks like a home in
- A very famous person lived here.
And now it's a museum.
He might or might not have died on the toilet.
- Oh, that's too (sighs).
You gave me too much.
- I did?
Oh.
- A lot of people died on the toilet though.
This is Graceland.
- Yeah, (dinging) Graceland!
- Thank you.
- I was gonna sing "Walking in Memphis."
I just realized I'll probably get
in trouble for singing - That's Graceland?
I've never been.
I went to his house in Tupelo, - Yeah.
- Which was a bit. - Mississippi, correct?
- Correct.
- I didn't know he had a house there.
- He was raised there.
You didn't know that?
- I didn't.
- What? - I didn't.
Should I?
I'm just gonna go.
- Go!
- Okay, now this one is an American treasure.
She is currently married to another American treasure
and creating American treasures on the Food Network.
- The Food Network?
- That's later in life.
That's her second career.
- See, here's the problem.
Her eyes are closed and I take a lot from the eyes.
That really was - It's the window to the soul.
- Window to the soul.
- It is the window to the soul.
- Or souls, if you've got more than one.
- They talk about that in "Outlander."
- And I have no idea who that is.
A young Paula Deen?
- She's in love with a boy.
- In love with a boy?
♪ She's in love with a boy ♪
It's Trisha Yearwood.

- Ah, Trisha Yearwood!
- An American country icon now married to Garth Brooks.
- Oh, Garth, I know him.
- Yes, originally from Georgia I believe,
but now they live in Oklahoma.
- Garth Brooks or her?
- Her, I think I have that right, okay.
Country music is not your strong suit so far.
All right.
- Oh I do know who that is! - Hit me!

I believe still has family there.
- This is icons, okay.
Is it Morgan Freeman?

(in normal voice) no what was it?
They said it would take a lifetime
to break out of Shawshank.
Andy Dufresne did it in 25 years. (laughing)
- That was good!
That was really good!
Okay, this is a fun one.
- Oh! - Very familiar face.
- The basketball thing is putting me off.
That is
- An Oscar-winning actor.
- Um, Jamie Foxx!
- Jamie Foxx (dinging) from "Ray,"
from "In Living Color," from a bunch more movies
that I should know
that are probably - Don't know any of these.
- He's more famous for now.
- Good for him.
- Yeah, we kind of threw you off
with the basketball thing for a second, but not that long.
- No.
- Do you know where he's from?
- Texas!
- Yes! - Okay.
- From Texas, which I guess - Well I was gonna,
I was gonna be specific.
- Oh okay.

This is a family channel.
He was in that movie "Crash" that won Best Picture.
He's from Atlanta.
Go give him a multiple choice?
A, MC Hammer, B, Montell Jordan, C, Ludacris, D, 50 Cent.
- The MC Hammer, (laughing) the MC Hammer.
- That isn't correct.
It is C, Ludacris! (buzzing) - What?
- A rapper from Atlanta.
- I have heard of Ludacris.
- You have?
- But I guess I didn't ever see him.
- He also goes by Luda.
Did you really, did you really think?
You know what MC Hammer looks like for real though, right?
- Yeah yeah but you know what these people look like.
I don't.
- Yeah, all right well.
All right, here's another one.
Everything was better in high school.
Remember when we were in high school?
Remember when we drank in high school?
Remember fires in high school?
That's pretty much how I'd sum up.
He actually had a different name
before he got famous and they changed his name.
- Uh-huh, who's they?
- You know like the country music industry.
They were like, "You'd be cooler with this name."
I'll give you a hint.
Originally, his first name was Josh.
Now it's something else, but he's got the same last name.
Oh my gosh, and did you see that?
- Yeah, I did see it, but I can't really tell
what it says at the bottom.
I still don't know who it is!
- You don't?
Okay.
- He's got great teeth though.
- Any guesses?
- Jake?
- You saw that!
He saw that.
- I did see it; I'm sorry.
- Jake Owen, country singer (buzzing)
- Jake Owen! - Jake Owen,
country singer, talks about bonfires.
- And his old name was Josh Owen?
- Yes.
- And what was wrong with Josh?
- He's still fly.
Josh or Jake, he's still fly.
- Yeah, what does fly mean?
Like hot?
- You know, yeah.
Let's see if our Scottish friend can name this landmark.
- Oh!
Well, that's Biltmore.
- Yes! (dinging)
- Just outside Asheville in North Carolina.
- Yeah, good job!
- And I have tasted their wine, very good.
That's where Anderson Cooper lives, right?
That's his family, right?
- The Vanderbilts?
- He's a Vanderbilt.
- Right, right.
- But I'll tell you this.
It was 70 or $80 and I was like I just don't,
I just don't wanna pay all that money
to go into this palace.
But it was the best money I've ever spent.
What an experience!
Yeah it really was fantastic.
- Did you know it's the largest privately-owned house
in the United States?
- I did not!
- I know 'cause it was cued for me
(laughing) on the back of this photo.
Uh, let's try another one.
- Let me have a good look.
- It's a Southern Thing audience knows this one.
- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm. - Huh.
He looks like he's in a football stadium.
- This is deceiving, the shirt.
- 'Cause that is uh, (drumming) what do you call them?
- Rolling Stones. - Rolling Stones, thank you.
- So that's a rock and roll vibe.
- I'm trying to even just make a guess like a weird name.
Is it, is it?
- Think about the past.
Everything was better in high school, drinking.
- I reckon his name's Garret or Chase.
- That is actually very close.
- Really? - 'Cause it is kind
of a trendy bro name.
It's Hunter Hayes, (buzzing) who's a country singer.
But kind of a new school country singer.
- He looks like very talented.
- Yeah, yeah. - I wish him all the best.
What symbol is that? - What stadium is this?
- Name this symbol.
- I don't do sports.
Oh gosh, all right.
That's your no pile, okay.
Let's try.
- Wow!
It's almost like you'd have to have been there yesterday
to know what that statue is, the Boll Weevil Statue
in Enterprise, Alabama.
- (dinging) Wow, he got it!
I gotta be honest.
I grew up in Alabama.
I wouldn't have recognized this.
- This statue was erected December 11th, 1919
after about two or three years
of the cotton industry completely collapsing.
George Washington
- Carver? - Carver!
He convinced the people of this town
to diversify their produce and it made them very, very rich.
- Do you also teach a class on the boll weevil?
'Cause this all very informative.
- Thank you, it's a short class.
- Well, that's in your yes pile.
All right, that was impressive.
- But that was yesterday!
You know 2019 is 100 years.
So they celebrated that yesterday.
Such a wonderful day it was.
- Wow, congratulations Enterprise.
- Yeah!
- This is pretty easy. - Okay.
- If you don't know who this is,
I'm probably gonna get up and leave the room
'cause it's
- Well it's the last one so it's fine.
- I'm gonna call the police actually.
It would be criminal.
- Hmm, she's got little peace earrings on.
That is Oprah.
- Yeah (dinging) it's Oprah Winfrey!
- 'Cause I know she likes peace.
- Originally from Mississippi, correct?
- She's great.
- Did you know she was Southern?
- I did know she was Southern.
I know a few, I didn't know she was from Mississippi.
I know that she gave away a bunch of cars once.
- Yes.
- And she loves books.
- She does love books.
- Yeah she's a ferocious reader.
But yeah, she loves books.
- She loves her cocker spaniels.
- And she loves money!
- I think she loves telling people
to live their truth more than anything.
- I would say that if I had unlimited amounts of money.
- I mean, you're pretty much Southern now.
- You reckon?
- You're definitely Southern now?
- Do you remember when you didn't know
that Elvis was from Tupelo, Mississippi?
- I do remember that.
- So hand in your Southern card
at the door. - I do.
I remember that, yeah.
(country music)
Oh yeah, what did make you think that was Paula Deen?
- You said Food Network.
- Blonde.
- I know what Paula Deen looks like,
but I just, I couldn't think of anyone else.
You said Food Network.
- She's doing stuff on the Food Network now.
I don't think Paula Deen has one
on the Food Network anymore.
- Okay.
Did Paula Deen sing country?
- No, no. - Okay.
