Day Trip to Odessa ☄️ (FULL EPISODE) S10 E10

This modern-day Boomtown isn't just a town for roughnecks and wildcatters -- it's for trippers too! Visit this West Texas town and you might just strike black gold!
For a breakfast that checks all the boxes on your foodie list, go to Dumplin’s Y Amigos. Just like the name suggests, whether you’re craving down home country cooking or a nice big plate of Mexican huevos - they make both deliciously. Oh…and did I mention they serve chips and salsa all day long??
This food truck-turned-restaurant has some of the funkiest foods you’ve ever tasted. Whether you order a heaping basket of “Buffalo Fries” or a “Homer Simpson” slider piled high with mac-n-cheese and bacon, your tastebuds are definitley going to be thanking you. Don’t skimp on dessert - they’ve got “Funfetti Fritters” which are cakeballs smothered in icing.
All around town, you’ll find tons of artsy jackrabbits (like Jack Ben Rabbit) commemorating Odessa’s long history of jackrabbit roping - seriously! It used to be a featured event at the Odessa Rodeo, but now these not-so-little guys are all that remain of that odd tradition.
If you’re a huge fan of Texas high school football, then catching a highschool football game between the Permian Panthers and Odessa Broncos is a must. The popular book and TV show, “Friday Night Lights” were based off of this very town.
Sixty-three thousand years ago, a giant crater crashed into the earth, leaving a huge hole in Odessa and plenty of intergalactic mystery. This crater has been slowly filled in with West Texas dirt and wind, but the interesting history behind it remains. It’s just waiting for you to uncover the truth at this museum.
Forget hopping the pond to see this intriuging European structure; UT Permian Basin has a replica Stonehenge that’s almost as big and just as cool to see!
Unfortunately, the Presidential Archives have closed since filming.
To trip or to trip…that is the question. Well, it should only be a question when you’re visiting this replica of Shakespear’s Globe in London. This theatre is the most authentic replica in the states - and is home to some pretty awesome productions.

I love these last two videos. I saw a huge poll the other day asking what is the worst town someone has been to, and the number 1 answer was odessa/midland. I never believe in things like that as I travel around the country, and there are cool places, cool people, and fun things to do everywhere. You showed that today. Sure, Odessa isn't some big touristy place with beautiful scenery, but it's still a great texas city with great people, good food, and fun things to do. Adventure is everywhere in America and everywhere in Texas. From the top way up in Dalhart, all the way down to Brownsville. If you cant find fun things to do and see then you aren't looking.

@user-fv5ms4sz8e Жыл бұрын

Wow! This brings back a ton of memories. I was able to quickly point out a bunch of places your camera captured, even though I haven't been there in forty five years. The crater was much deeper and more obvious as a child and it's hard to believe it's filled in so much. The way I hold my tortilla, is by making sure two fingers pinch the opposite end I'm eating on and I prop it up with my thumb, so it all stays in, but I can still move it around, while chowing down. Your Three Amigos technique of beans 🫘 shooting out one end, is a losing battle. What's really interesting about the presidential museum, was that it was for the longest time housed in the downtown library. So, it's cool to see that it has been placed in a facility all to its own. In Jr high, we got to go to the Globe Theatre 🎭. There was a symphony there and it was my first time to hear such a marvelous thing. The giant Jack Rabbit was born in 1962, which is too cool and I won't say why. We moved to Corpus Christi the summer I would have started high school at OHS. But, after seeing the beach and lots of water, I never wanted to go back and I became a beach bum, living in a bungalow in Port Aransas and Rockport. Rockport as you know got tore to pieces by hurricane Harvey. If you keep heading West to El Paso, could you please find my stone dam 🦫 I built when I was 12, under the overpass near Pecos? I'm told it backed up enough water that it's now an oasis. When you find it, it's name is Willie's Dam. If it's still there, it's 49 years old and needs a state historical marker near it. 😅

Thanks for the Odessa video! I kept watching hoping to see you go to Ratliff Stadium! Too bad the game wasn’t there instead. I was born and raised in Odessa and started going to football Permian football games as a toddler in 1975-different stadium then. It was my sophomore year at Permian when Buzz Bissinger hung around Odessa in preparation to write his book and graduated from Permian in 1991. I moved away for college, got married, my folks moved and I’ve lived in Michigan for almost 25 years now. Thanks for the memories!

I know exactly what year this was! I was in that Mojo band. Grew up here in Odessa and can say I prefer a small town than the big cities. You should definitely watch Permian vs. OHS game. The stadium gets packed with people. Also, the asado (pork in sauce) is red from the Chile. No coloring just the beautiful color of the Chile peppers. Fun fact: Chef Alejandro has recently competed in Chopped and won!

We also have the rodeos that come to town and the other community theaters in the area. We have art museums and live performances by nationally renowned artists at the Wagner Noel Performing Arts which is half way between the towns. We have everything you have in a large city only on a smaller scale.

@sugarbunnytv 2 ай бұрын

@@millenialmusings8451 I moved... And let me tell you it was the best decision I've made! Everything is way cheaper (so I can actually afford rent) , there's more to do, literally so many nice people which is a huge difference, it's greener and even a little less hot with more rain! And it's easy to drive with how big roads are..it never feels crowded I think the only thing is the job market. It's harder to land a job and get paid well.. But since I work from home that isn't really a problem, it just took awhile for my room mate to get a job out here. That being said, Odessa does have more opportunities because of the oil field, but if you're not going into that field I don't suggest it because then otherwise it's hard to find a job. Midland is the better city if you do consider going down there. Just because there's more to do! It might be easier to find a job too if you don't want Odessa's oil field jobs.. But it's very busy and the rent is soooo high compared to Lubbock. For instance, in Odessa we paid 1300 to live in a 2 bed, 1 and a half bath townhouse that was so poorly damaged we were just waiting to finally leave. Now we live in a 900 2 bed 2 and a half bathroom where the upkeep is amazing! Sorry for the spill but I hope this helps!

Native Texan, been in Odessa for the last 20 years, only three things to do here. Your options are work like a dog, get drunk and/or play golf..... and I don't drink and I don't play golf. Anything you buy locally is three times the price, and you'd best learn to speak spanish if you want to order breakfast. It's hot as hell except when it's freezing cold, trash and beer cans everywhere, plastic bags flapping in the mesquite. If you need to work and put your kids through college you can get it done here, other than that, it's a dusty dirty shithole of a town that's literally in the middle of nowhere. Any doctors are here only because they had a low GPA and couldn't get anything better. Wife had cancer, they gave her antibiotics for nearly six months before they finally figured out she had a tumor the size of a lemon. She died a few years ago. So if you get hurt or sick.....good luck. And good luck on the Permian Basin roads as well. You're more likely to get mangled or killed in a wreck than you are on your oilpatch job working around high pressures and poison gas. Several major crashes on a daily basis. Don't get me wrong, there's lots of good hardworking folks here. But I recently retired hence no further reason to stay, time to sell the house and get the hell out of Odessa Tx. Never been up to the northwestern U.S., think I'll go see it.
