You know you're a Southerner when you can sleep through tornado sirens but you can't sleep without the fan on.

"I watched my dog lose a fight to a bug on the porch one time." Is probably the most southern line in this whole thing.

"wasps wake up everyday and choose violence..." That is so funny and so true.

Yankees sure are critical. Thank y'all for trying to bridge the gap with humor and kindness.

“You’re insulting us but using y’all in your tweet. You’re welcome”.🤣🤣🤣🤣

I moved north and the biscuits up here are nothing but a mound of sadness and self-loathing. So hearing a northerner complain about biscuits makes sense because northern biscuits are a reflection of failure and devolution of our species.

Maybe southerners can't drive, but when my Aunt passed away her funeral was near Atlanta, GA. (I live in Kentucky) and the funeral procession traveled pretty far. On every road, from one lane roads to 4 lane divided roads, people pulled over on both sides immediately. It's like the sea parting as we came through. I even saw people take off their hats inside their cars. I was impressed. In Kentucky, we're lucky if people slow down to get around a procession, or don't honk if they have to wait at an b intersection.

Y'all, y'all, listen up. Biscuits with butter and a thin slice of country ham is HEAVEN!!!

The whole "terrible ingredients thrown together makes a salad" exists in the north too. Y'all just call it a casserole. 😘

"Wasps wake up and choose violence every day" had me dead 🤣🤣🤣

I have learned from reading many, many Southern cookbooks, that if a dish has a few ingredients held together with mayonnaise, it's a "salad", and if it has a few ingredients with cheese and/or bread crumbs on top, cooked in the oven, it's a "casserole". Born and raised in Georgia, and that is the logic I have come up with.

I am from Alabama, moved to Philadelphia little over a year ago. I can’t open my mouth without people saying they could listen to me talk forever. They’ll ask how did I get so far from home. Lol. And my coworkers are amazed at my patience with unruly customers. My mama always says kill’em with kindness 😊

Clearly people from up north don’t know how to insult a southerner. Bless y’all’s hearts.

It's funny how folks diss Southerners but no one retires up north!

Fun fact most of those “weird salads” were/are not from the South. About 50% come from the Mid West, about 20-25% from the Northeast, about 20% from the South, and 5% came from California. Fun facts the Jello salad for example was invented in PA, and the oldest recipe for the lime cabbage jello salad I could find was from CA.

“Let’s revisit the biscuit conversation” 😂😂😂 Even though I’m from the Northeast, the accuracy here is 👌🏼. If the biscuit tastes like nothing, you did it wrong and please put it down.

People that aren’t southern probably just judge the accent because they are judging the fake accent they see in Hollywood films 😂😂😂

Matt: If you don't know how to use a biscuit, put it down. 🤣🤣🤣 That was hilarious!

Most stereotypes are based on hearsay and not actual experience. Visit the South and learn for yourself how wonderful it truly is. As for the food: what do you think makes the SEC football players so happy and strong? Girl Raised In The South!❤

"Let me check the radar" is THE most Southern thing a person can say.

Matt’s “you're not using biscuits right” Ryan’s “Wasps wake up and choose violence every day" Talia's “If your Grits aren't good: You. Did. It. Wrong” and Liz and Mary's “we're under a tornado watch right now as we're recording this" particularly had me laughing!🤣👏🏼

As a true born and raised Southerner, I can tell you right now, "Let me check the Radar" while Tornado Sirens are going off is 100% true. No need to panic till you see a funnel cloud, green sky, your ears pop, the air feeling like its sucked out of the room, or the roaring sound coming through like a train. THEN you panic and get into your windowless interior room.

Up north here, 45° and people start running around in tees lol

I would love to read “mean tweets” about midwesterners. I feel like we’re kinda the glue that holds the north and south together lol

"Sunshine is Bright. Have ya'll ever Seen sunshine?" Brutal comeback level 11/10

"Wasps wake up and choose violence" I Love that. I feel the same way.

"you are not using biscuits right." Quote of the year, say otherwise and we will feud forever.

0:24 she actually said "reum". This is what that tweet meant. But, that is one of the cutest way I've heard someone say "room"!

I married a northerner 45 years ago! He was, and still is, extremely concerned that I stand at the screen door and watch thunderstorms or actually go to the mailbox during a tornado warning! 😂🤣 My grandmother used to let me go out and play in the high pre-storm winds. It felt like I could sprout wings! Good memories!

“Wasps wake up and choose violence every day.” That was the best part of the whole video

😂😂Excellent! 👏🏼 Tweet to folk up north: "Can anybody north of the Mason-Dixon cook?? A well-stocked spice cabinet, fresh herbs (and a tub o' lard🤭) can go a long way in helping y'all discover actual *flavor*!!!" And did some dumass actually ask why we can't drive in the snow? Same reason you can't get a tan in December. 🤨

I absolutely adore the heat in the South and will never leave. Anything to avoid the 8-9 month-long hellscape known as winter in the North. I had some fancy folks from work visit our southern properties this past June and the temps were in the lower 90's already. The humidity in Charleston is no joke. 10 minutes into the first property tour, one of them asked, "what time does cool off around here?" " I turned, looked him in the eye and said, "October". They cancelled the tours for the remaining properties. This year, they have scheduled their tours for March. I hope they're able to make it through, this time. lol

As a southerner who has travelled and likes to eat, can I just point out that polenta, which is served in bougie restaurants everywhere outside the south, is basically grits. So why is polenta considered fancy/gourmet and grits not?

I'm from the Pacific NW - had a fellow student there from Georgia. We teased her endlessly about her accent. One day she broke down in tears. We asked her what was wrong and through a ton of sniffles she said, "I don't know what y'all are laughing about. Y'all the ones who have the accent." Never forgot that. We don't think we have accents but we all do. And they are all wonderful.

I live in upstate NY, only a couple hours from the Canadian border, and I love grits; it's so hard to find good ones this far north, so I really look forward to my 2-3 work trips south every year. I'm also a huge fan of biscuits and tomatoes, because they're just plain good.

Love that Liz had the radar up and going during the filming. Also, the rule in the fam was.. if it is cold, it is a salad, if it is hot it is a casserole.

When she said "A roach crawled out and I don't know where it went, so I had to move apartments that night" *I felt that* 🥲

I lived in Atlanta for two years in the 1970’s. I loved the food, the slower pace (took time to get used to). The people, once I was accepted (after all, I was a yankee & I talian) couldn’t have been kinder. A very happy time in my life.

The salads part reminds me of when me and my grandma use to make carrot salad just thin sliced carrots mayo and raisins 😂 was my favorite thing growing up

I’m with y’all because anyone who talks smack about biscuits and grits have never eaten good ones. All you need is butter to make biscuits and grits taste heavenly!

"let me check the radar" is the most southern phrase ever lmaoo

So weird that I've never heard these stereotypes before. But I will say my grandma was from the South and made every form of a salad for our big dinners but I loved them all! And her phrase was 'Bless your heart'.

As a transplanted Yankee I can tell you that I have eaten in many a restaurant in the North that had roaches or rats and been fine with it. There was a Palmetto bug in my hotel in Charleston, and I just shut the door and let it have the room.

"You're not using a biscuit right. If you don't know how to use it, put it down!" 😂😂 that was awesome.

Why are people using instant grits and canned biscuits, and then treating them like they were homemade? Of course they taste nasty!! Homemade is always better when it comes to food.

I made mushrooms and grits with the same seasoning I use with shrimp and grits. It was amazing... even if I got the side eye. Southern vegans find a way 😋

Right off the bat the reum thing, I learned this 2 years ago when I moved to Georgia from New York state. Southerners stretch out their vowels. Hiiiim. Roooom. Not all southerners have that drawal though. Also, as for bad driving in the rain.. it is real but the roads in GA are flat, not pitched so the water stays static on the road. Never hydroplaned so many times in my life. Guys, I tell you what! Love the content. Keep it coming

in the south, they aren't roaches they are "palmetto bugs" and they will run off with small dogs and come inside for a beer if it gets too hot outside

Loved that during filming the sirens go off. " Let me check the radar" 😂 I think all of us southerners have been through enough tornadoes we're practically meteorologists. We know how to look for a hook echo on the screen to see if anything is going on. 🌪️

I am literally eating a Popeyes biscuits while watching this for the first time. God Bless the South!

This was wonderfull, i am a northerner that has spent some time down south, the south is nice, I would love a video if the opposite, mean tweets southerners have about the north “I tell ya what” it would be a real eye opener to the northerners….but I will say this..there is one thing you NEVER EVER say to a true southerner as a northerner in an argument…and here it is…” Well who won the war” “I tell ya what” if there were not about 6 other people holding that southerner back when I made this comment I would probably be dead…lesson learned, Long live the south

It’s 1963 and I’m 7 years old visiting my Long Island NY relatives. We go out for breakfast and as I’m accustomed to in Georgia, I ask for grits. Our waitress, in true NY fashion, looks at me, smacking gum and says “What are you, a communist or something?”. I learned that day to NEVER request grits or sweet tea outside of the South. God bless her Yankee soul. 🥰

Y'all. Let me tell you something. My grandma could cook. I mean that green giant fella would stop by, sit down, shut up and take notes from her. Anyway. She would always make biscuits from scratch for breakfast and supper along with anything else she was fixing. When she was finished cooking, grandpa got his cup of coffee, a saucer, and 2 biscuits. She would then set out a basket of biscuits covered with a cloth. Let me tell you, as soon as she put that on the table it was a family battle royal. Hands were flying, kids somehow took flight without a pilots license. If you somehow got one you knew better than to just leave it on your plate. Because if you got up for something, when you got back it was gone. Those biscuits didn't last long at the table. AND rarely did they stick around till supper. But if they did, they were still delicious. When she left for heaven, we knew what God wanted her home for.

In response to the "why do you call it a salad" question, one of the definitions of a salad is: "a mixture containing a specified ingredient served with a dressing." We call them salads because they're salads, dangit!

It took a while for me to try grits, having grown up on cream of wheat. And the phrase 'I tell you what' reminds me a lot of the phrase 'dontcha know' from my birth state of Minnesota. Both are said at the end of sentences and mean basically the same thing, dontcha know.

Talia and Matt should do bless your rank together. That would be the best/funniest video ever!

Here are two things about the South that are overlooked. 1. Down here we measure distance with time. "Go up 82 for about five minutes then turn right and in about ten seconds take that first left and you'll see the house". B. Macaroni and cheese is a vegetable in the deep south. Just go anywhere that has vegetable plates. It's a menu item for that.

My Southern friend, a mature lady, describes a lot of something as "a lot lot lot"! She also says, " lord a mercy!" 😉

And don’t forget, Down here in the South, we can make a casserole out of anything 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Wasps wake up and choose violence." Truer words have never been spoken!

My son's school (PA) was delayed bc of wind-chill (a.k.a too cold) last winter. Being from the south, I'd never heard of such a thing so I called his school to confirm, which they did. Apparently, they were concerned about kiddos getting frostbite waiting for the bus! I was like, you mean to tell me it was perfectly okay for us southern kids to be waiting at the bus stop with a heat index of 98 degrees. Then travel 25min in satan's traveling sauna with no AC/fan and windows that would only slightly open because they always got stuck at that one weird angle? 🤦‍♀️

"Catherine, you gotta dress up your biscuits. That sounded kinda weird." "Catherine? You gotta dress up your biscuits. OH-"

I don't really consider myself "southern," but man, I'm with you all on just about all of these! (Especially the biscuits/grits thing and the tornado/wasp thing. Clearly, some people a) don't know how to eat and b) have never encountered a wasp.) Great as always! :D

How is that person upset about corner stores while simultaneously trying to imply that a store 5 miles away from my house is somehow convenient!?!

I'll tell you what hold my beer and read this. Some people probably never lived in the south, don't have celling fans, only eat "pop" can biscuits, never had Duke's on any kind of sandwich, stumbled into a red wasp or yellow jacket nest, only sampled instant grits without real AAs sweet cream butter, and roaches vs. rats is like comparing apple {rats} to oranges {roaches} . BUT y'all have learned to use the word Y'ALL. So in closing, bless your Yankee hearts

Water bugs were so scary and our house had roaches but here we had mice problems WHEN WE MOVED IN

I don’t think I would qualify as a “southerner” but I am a midwesterner so I relate to most of this👍 Especially the tornado bit. My Mom and I always joke how if the sirens go off instead of heading for shelter run outside and be ready for pictures! 😂

"Wasps wake up and chose violence." Me, sitting here agreeing vehemently while nursing a nasty sting from yesterday. 🥴🥴🥴🐝🐝🐝

I married a Southerner and have fallen in love with the culture. So much of what you joke about is delightfully true. The line that ""wasps choose violence everyday" had me laughing for hours. So true! I was stung several times during an encounter with one wasp several years ago ... Never again. I see one ...I am gone. :)

Greetings from Byhalia Mississippi. We love our southern heritage here "I tell you what".😁😁

Living in New York and having lived in New Jersey. I can say southern drivers were a thousand times more polite and considerate on the road than anyone I've ever met where I live. In this area you need to become a road warrior and fight for your own space on the road or people will just shove you out of it and pretend you don't exist

As someone who hails from the west coast, and has friends from both my personal life, as well as my time in the service, I thoroughly enjoyed this video.

I'm from Texas and the "I tell you what" reminded me of "Bless your heart". You can say these two phrases in so many ways. My sister and I were talking about how many ways you could use "Bless your heart" one time. Funny enough, I got a call from my doc's place after that conversation and, while talking to the assistant, she said "Bless your heart". It was the nice, endearing, and comforting version of the phrase.😂

I LOVE you guys. I'm Australian, but from the 'South-equivalent' of Australia, Queensland. Only of course, because we're upside down from you, the South is the North, and Queensland is the northernmost state. A lot of what you guys were discussing is true for us too. Our roaches are also family-sized, our temperatures and humidity are like yours, and we too have epic weather events (cyclones) that we take for granted while other states would run screaming for the hills. We don't get snow this far north, or ice, and we also have lots of animals in the road: kangaroos, possums, koalas, wombats, emus, and a LOT of cattle that loom up on you in the darkness, so yup, we drive slowly too, especially at night. And finally, yes, other Australians regard Queenslanders as slow, dumb, backwards, weird. But we know better, just like you - those other guys just aren't doing it right... Take care, y'all, and keep doing what you do.

In the countryside of Michigan, the corner stores also have the names of the first owners. We also call hills after the farmers that own the fields on either side of the road. "You go on up to Loker's Hill. Once you're over that, turn at that tree Billy smacked into while dodging a deer ten years ago..."

As a southern now living in the north I find the tornado and snow parts funny. I told my coworkers that I prefer drive during a tornado watch/warning way over driving through snow/ice. I got some crazy looks but hey its true lol

I’m Canadian. When I visited my Florida cousins, I had grits. My suitcase was filled with grits. And sweet tea.

I had a deliemma the other day; a biscuit with blackberry jam or apple butter. Now that is a southern thing.

Yes 65% is hot here in the south! It’s the humidity that makes it so hot here at 65°.

Grits with butter, salt, sugar, a bit of milk and a biscuit is so comforting!

My wife once told me about a comedian telling about encountering a big southern roach in her hotel room. Someone in the audience shouted "Hit it with a shoe", to which the comedian said, "And what, give it a weapon?" I have encountered a few in my life and once hit one with a shoe, only to have it fly at me with an, "I know you didn't just hit me with a shoe!" attitude. It won that encounter because when I went back in the room, still armed with the shoe, it was gone.

I'm from North Florida, but I lived in England for several years, and while I was there, I worked for a Chinese community center and my best friend there was Chinese from mainland China. I went back for a visit a few years ago and stayed with her and her husband for a week, and she was feeding me different traditional Chinese foods each day. By about day four, we ran out of ideas and we contemplated having congee again, which is basically like grits but with rice, so I was telling her about grits, and she smiled and was like, "I know what grits are. They're very popular in the north of China" (where she's from). And then she walked over to her kitchen counter and brought out a bag of grits with both English and Chinese writing on it. We had grits for breakfast that morning. Chinese grits. They make their grits a little bit more soupy than ours, and where she's from, they put kind of a pickled relish on the grits instead of salt and butter, but the fact that I was able to get grits in the north of England - Chinese grits no less - more easily than getting grits north of the Mason-Dixon line was just wild.

I live in Iowa. You know you're getting close to the South,when you see Quaker Instant Grits on grocery shelves.

"I tell you what, say that again and see what happens." - Every southern dad on a lengthy family road trip.

I did most of my growing up in the south, and for the most part I'm happier now that I'm on the west coast...but who are these fools making fun of southern FOOD? Look, rest of the country, there's plenty to make fun of the south for, but they do food better than you. They just do. Don't be upset about it, just humbly ask them to teach you their ways.

Biscuits are gravy delivery devices.

I’m from the Midwest and have lived in the south for 13 years. That driving comment is 💯 correct 😂 People down here cannot drive to save their lives lol And when it rains…GOD FORBID!!! Y’all would think they were about to drive on lava 😂

Forget the waterbugs and roaches, your mosquitoes are as big as hummingbirds ! 😅

Don't forget the cornbread. I moved to Wisconsin one time and the church I was going to decided to prepare a lunch after a service southern style. Supposed to be all these foods from the south. Me who was raised my whole life in the south went to test their foods. They got nothing right. Mashed potatoes were plain, cornbread was nasty, corn was nasty, everything that I recognized as a southern food item was nasty or plain. They failed.

For anyone who’s never been stung by a wasp, it literally feels like getting an electric shock. Difference is the shock pain last longer than an electric shock and is followed by swelling.

Oh my gosh, we used to rent a house in East Texas that had the tornado siren directly in our yard. When that sucker went off the first Wednesday of every month, or for a tornado, the windows would be rattling, the walls would be creaking and the whole house would be shaking, but my husband would still be in the bed snoring his head off! 😂😮😂

Lifelong Southerner and never heard of a corner store, ate a plain biscuit, or had plain grits.

As someone from the Midwest where in 2020 it got to -52 degrees, it is utterly mind boggling to hear anybody say 65 degrees is cold. I hath been flabbergasted

I am currently active duty Army and when I started my career I was definitely a Northerner. Over the years I have made the conscientious choice to retire as a Southerner.

Lived in the south 7 years. LOVED IT and it's people.

That 65° and burning up comment had me laughing. This is early March and we've been in upper 70's/low 80's for 2 weeks already here in New Orleans.

So funny! The tornado alarms going off gives us a strong desire to go see if it's in sight. If not, we go about our business and "keep an eye on the weather" as my mom says. Lol

I am in the south, and I do not like grits at all. All my kids love them and my husband. Everyone is different. Tornado warnings - I have seen people BBQ in them, mow their yard in them but where I live here in southern MS, most go outside and stand on porch and watch for them. For all those insulting us Southerners - Bless Your Heart.

A Biscuit is a VEHICLE for other things!! 💥💥💥💥🫵🫵🤣💯💯💯💯

4:10 - that's right about the store - "go to Bruce Geralds and get me a ..." - Bruce Gerald, who originally opened the store in the 70s, died 20 years ago and it's now an Exxon. But it will always be "Bruce Geralds".
