but I like multi eyed fish

Please do a part 2 of this. I want more! 😁😁😁

Blinky is an enhanced fish!

All I could think of was gators and cottonmouths

That river water is ice cold.

Well damn

this story reminded me of where I grew up in Arkansas, dry county surrounded by dry counties, and a bit before I was born the sheriff at that time got caught bootlegging out of his patrol car

@@TheBurcham1 I still live in a dry county in Arkansas 😅

Dry county arkansas here too. Crawford county, separated from sebastian by the Arkansas River. "Goin over the river" means going to buy alcohol. Except on Sundays of course.

@@OpposingPonygoing across the bridge! I’ve done it a time or two lol.

Nah, we just drive across the state line to Fayetteville or head south to Warrior!

Unless you live in Louisiana.

@@Caeleinn Came here to say that. I was like .. wait why can't you go on Sunday?! And then I remembered lol

"Wayll, you all might as well rustle up a sweet tea then. Go on!"

@@Caeleinn Oh, if they tried to outlaw booze on any day of the week down here, there would be riots. New Orleans would burn itself from pure rage.

Not originally from the south (I live in South Florida) and felt that personally.

Also.

54 years and I still cry every summer.

Yup

I just wish for death.🥺 (while hiding in the back freezer in the grocery store i work in)

Tru Dat

Facts. Most of the actors don't even have a southern accent. I watched a movie that was set in Georgia, noone had a southern accent.🤷🏾‍♀️

@Lee Ann Christy not in the south it ain't. Where you from, Missy? Ohio?

@Lee Ann Christy also, you punctuated "y'all" wrong.

Somebody needs to explain to actors that there are dozens of accents in the South, just like NYC.

I felt that I wanted to try out my civics history teacher who was also the football coach said “ absolutely not! “

Mine also did Driver's Ed and Health!

@@TheSaltySeaman Truth! And he worked nights and weekends at Sears.

My algebra teacher was a football coach. And it wasn't even a small school!

Ratio of teacher teachers to coach teachers is just wild.

At least your cousin was lucky that he wasn't skinny dipping.

@@roncarpenter7240 this never happened to any of my cousins. I just thought it would be a funny addition, because you know something like that has happened to someone.

Don’t forget cottonmouths

@@katestewart-taylor9736 for some reason I always thought cotton mouths and water moccasins were different snakes

@@coolhandluke7772 I knew you meant it as a joke and that it never happened to any of your real cousins.

It really is! My Gov teacher coached football and my economics teach coached baseball I think.

The girls coach (don't recall what sport) was our geometry teacher and one of the football coaches was our algebra teacher. Funny enough, I had the algebra teacher in college too when he left the high school for the college next door along with one of my classmates from that same algebra class in high school in our college class.

Most of our coaches were teachers. The ladies track coach was the principal and athletic director. The typing teacher was the assistant athletic director. The football and softball coach was a math teacher. The men's track coach taught art and government. The baseball coach and golf coach was the gym teacher and driver's education instructor. The theater director (also basketball coach early in his career) was the history teacher and ran his own hardware store. The JV volleyball coach was a math teacher. The varsity volleyball coach and ladies basketball coach taught high school business and Jr high math. The Jr high track, and JV girls basketball coach taught social studies. The band teacher was a basketball coach. You could look out the windows and see cornfield or forrest. No I wasn't raised in the south.

My Spanish teacher was a 4"10 90 lb woman, i dont think she would have made a good wrestling coach.🤣

My physics teacher was the girls' lacrosse coach. Though technically that was a club rather than an official school team

which is weird to me, I grew up Baptist and never had a rule about not dancing.

Even up north here in Western New York, I got married in my Baptist Church and had the reception at the Methodist Church because I wanted dancing, and my girlfriend's dad had a band where he was the piano player. ALSO because I didn't want alcoholic drinks for there were alcoholics on both sides of the family!

How do you tell the difference between a Southern Baptist & a Methodist? The Methodist will wave & say hello when you run into them at the liquor store. Learned that living 10 years in NC.

@@paitrynpait9664 That's because Baptists are the most diverse set of denominations. My paternal grandmas church didn't allow instruments or dancing. I've been to some that are very quiet and calm, and spent several years in one that involved jumping around and dancing as the preacher and his brother played acoustic guitar and banjo and we gave hugs and handshakes as a morning greeting. And then there are the Calvanist vs Anti-Calvanist divides.

@@Liethen I think the whole thing is intended as differences between services. The Pentecostals (ie Church of God folks) would have no problem with dancing during the service where it would not happen under most any Baptist service. Furthermore, and this is just my opinion as I don't have surveys or anything to back it up, I don't think MOST Baptists have problems with dancing in general (although certainly some do). ... Unless were talking bump & grind kinda dancing then the pendulum likely swings the other way, lol.

not like complaining makes it cooler. complaining takes energy.

I always say, "It's a touch warm out today. A few more degrees and it might get hot."

@@Avrysatos besides, we all got our complaints about the weather out of our systems years ago!

same up north but with cold

It's the skeeters that get you. And in Savannah the gnats!

My wife from the Bay Area is 13 years in the South (TN/KY), and she's just starting to develop an accent. I still say that the majority of Northern California is surprisingly like North Carolina reversed east to west once you exclude the coast: in the valley up through the foothills and mountains.

Yep- First time I heard Michael Rooker I said - There's a homeboy.

@@EvanEdwards I don't think you realize how accurate of a statement that is. What 2 states have the most diverse landscape, cali and nc. What 2 states have the most diverse types of wildlife, cali and nc. What 2 states have the most diverse types of people, yep. There's even Hollywood and Hollywood east too.

There’s lots of different southern accents. The problem is they mix it up, putting an Appalachian accent in Texas and Dixie in Georgia.

I’m from the technical south and yeah, we got blue laws here too. It’s very, VERY stupid holdover from prohibition yet no one wants to run on the platform of encouraging alcoholism.

I’m also from Mississippi and love these and the “Bless Your Rank” Matt does. I’m so glad to have come across good and funny representations of southern life. 😂

Well, before COVId Mississippi was number 1 in children vacation

Mississippi doesn’t need help getting picked on. You guys do it pretty well by yourself. Lol

As an Alabamian, I concur!

I too am from Mississippi. I am loving this channel.

That would explain why he wasn’t sweating during the “hot” scene!

Yup... 59 in North Georgia today. Our daffodils are already blooming.

The bugs were singing, so it must be July... or January.

No need for the quotation marks. We got single digit temperatures here, so it was like the midwest getting triple digits to us. No one knew what to do.

@@zchris87v80 That is the month of November in South Carolina. 100 to 30, then back to 90. If you aren't ready to put your sandels on to freeze-proof your pipes, you aren't ready to live in South Carolina.

haha. I swear, high school you either had a damn good softball team, or a softball team that rivaled the football team is how garbage they are (like my high school). Also, you can expect half of the softball team to be lesbian...

On god! My HS had a dog shit football team but that’s all the school put the money towards. Meanwhile our softball team won nationals all four years I was there.

@@howardbaxter2514 the other half is bi

Basketball was most small towns big draw. Much less expensive.

My HS, it was the marching band. And while we were definitely good, we also had the added benefit of being the largest by far in the state, meaning that we could out-compete everyone by the fact that we had 200 folks while everyone else had 50-100.

is cancer a super power?

same in New Jersey. so many factory runoffs chemicals. eeuuugghh.

If it's not dried out by then. Thanks to irrigation most of our rivers are too low to swim in in Nebraska.

If it’s the Cuyahoga, third-degree burns!

@@Ucatty2 To quote a great comedian "WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE! AND IT MADE US INVINCIBLE!"

Hell yeah! It'll be steaming outside and you get in a court room and it's f*ckin freezin

It is freezing to keep you awake during the trial

“Southern lawyer” has been a stock Hollywood type since To Kill a Mockingbird and Inherit The Wind (see also: JFK.)

That's today. I remember sitting in church with great granny waving those little paper fans on a stick from Thompson's Funeral Home with the unscreened windows open in summer. And the creek just beyond the graveyard was where baptism took place. I was glad we lived in town with an ac and baptismal pool at the big city church. Lol!

I'm told the judge's robe is thick. And guess who has the thermostat.

Amen! God's country for sure!

Summer is when I miss Virginia the most. I moved away to Texas 20 years ago (in the middle of June no less) and I regret it every May 🤣

Being from NH, I would not survive in Virginia either.

Especially if you do the Appalachian region in VA, definitely more forgiving in the summer than say Ocala, Birmingham or Baton Rouge. Don't know how it's legal to build a city in a place with heat like that 😂 Love me some Good ol' Virginia!

Summer of 2022 felt almost tropical for all but 2.5 weeks in late July. I love Virginia weather.

Here in Arkansas you can't buy it till Monday lol.

@@gypsyjunklady Hey girl! 🤣 I was about to make a comment about our area.

@@melindaroop1346 That's so funny! Some people just don't know about that drive to Oklahoma 🤣🤣🤣

Central AL here....transplant from Chicago.....at Publix several weeks ago and I tried to buy a 4 pack of mini margaritas for my 93 yr old mother. Nope, not until AFTER noon. In the Chicago area you can buy any kind of liquor at any time day or night on any day you want...as long as you can pay for it of course!

Yeah in Pennsylvania if you forgot to buy on Saturday you have to wait until Monday, really annoying. Only applies to liquor stores, though, beer stores can stay open on Sunday if they want and places that sell alcohol (grocery stores, gas stations) as a side thing can still sell it.

Fun facts! Thank you for sharing!

And they will be called “Coach” until the day they die.

@@alostrich After about 10 years, my football coach joined the FBI because he needed a less stressful lifestyle. His heart was still in football though and he would come back to visit, along with a dinner in his honor, and anybody that could, would be there to see Coach.

@@alostrich bonus points if they build a really good program that wins championships!!!!

The most well read World Literature teacher I ever had: - Could go line by line through Dante's Inferno and explain the reasons why the author put each historical figure into each specific level of heck - Had a dictionary that could be used to anchor a boat - Was one of the football coaches Edit: after years of being out of school, I forgot they taught World lit, not English

After being a sweatbox my entire life I'm enjoying cold weather 8 months out of the year😊

Ahhh I miss the 80s. Feel sorry for the teens

Exactly why I prefer pools. Screw those sneks...

@@punkrockpearl84 Las time I got in a pool, there was a snek in it. It was just a black racewr snek. The cold blooded thing got too hot in the Alabama heat, it needed a dip to cool off. Sneks like to bask in the sun, not on the sun.

I'm in NJ now, but I grew up in TX. People up here wonder why I won't swim in fresh water. That's why!🤣😅

@@RainCheck797 This was around the LA/TX boarder in NW LA. You know what’s up! 😂

@@Lenzid82 it ain’t much better in Arkansas. My family had strict rules about what kind of water to swim in or not based on the risk of finding snakes in the water. Swift rivers and large lakes? Yes. Slow rivers, small creeks or ponds? Fuck that shit.

My God, yes! It's like we have absolutely no air conditioning in any building...at all!

A Time to Kill is just hilarious with the sweat. Every character - inside and outside.

For real! Here in SC, I freeze to death at my office all summer from the AC! 🥶

@@pebblesanddirt My mind went immediately to that movie 🤣. Good movie, but yeah...the constant sweating like nobody had AC.

I do that whenever I dance around in the house for more than 3 songs (which is usually somewhere between 10-20 minutes), though that also happened trying to play video games in my room while the heat in my house was 80+

🤣

Before they allowed store sales on Sunday, we had to go to a "private club" (the kind with no tip on the end of the pool sticks), pay the $1 "membership fee", and spend 2 minutes buying a handful of tallboy PBRs but still walk out smelling like an ash tray.

That's why you just buy twice as much on Saturday. One reason why payday in the South will always and forever be on Friday.

American Legion? Lol! That was the only place you could get it in the 70's if you went to Georgia Southern until the year I graduated.

and then have some westerner talk about how it's technically hotter where they are from. Then have them do the same thing and shut up real quick.

@@Kainis80 And then have the Texan show up and be like "wdym it's fine here" after surviving 3 tornadoes, a derecho, a hurricane, a wildfire and a southern couple flash floods followed by a week of the heat index being 109

With just the right hint of Foghorn Leghorn (aka the chicken that probably got fried...we are what we eat) I say, I say I do declare son. 😂

@@amandachilds5290 lollll

That’s a perfect description 😂😂😂

We moved to California when I was a kid and people would ask why I didn't sound like Forrest Gump and the first thing I'd tell them is their public school system will force my butt to take speech classes on their tax money but doesn't care if other kids even speak fluent English ... I don't know if I'd call it backwards, but California defiantly has its priorities all jacked up because I'm from South Georgia my accent wasn't very thick to begin with

@@ddcs0s just wow, I cannot even begin to comprehend.

It cracks me up when they film a "southern" movie and I'm looking at the terrain thinking, "I don't know where the heck you are, but that is not in the south.🙄" 😆

@@gidget8717 so much gets shot in Georgia now I die laughing when it tries to pass for Kansas or Nebraska. Too many mountains and trees and hills. Lol. Or how I saw copies of my old cheerleader outfit as a Halloween costume because kids think its Hawkins High on Stranger Things when it's actually that ugly ole green and orange from Stockbridge. very surreal. Georgia as Indiana, or NJ on Ms. Marvel and much more is fun. How they love to film in that old rock quarry that has a lake at the bottom. Anyhow, you'd think they'd do better accents being in the setting but they don't quite pay attention to the details much. .

@@amandachilds5290 isn't that the truth! 🤷‍♀️ it seems film makers get worse and worse on details!

The worst is when actual actors born in the south "ham it up" in the roles. They go all Foghorn Leghorn.

@@bamachine yes but I blame the directors. That must be what they are told to do. Lol

And geography teacher!

And don’t forget driver’s ed

Ours was the calculus teacher and the Dean of Discipline. The whole school knew if you got in trouble! He was an awesome guy though!

Creative writing teacher at my high school

Que laying on the couch, too hot to move, just goin "it's hot as fuuuuuuc-"

I remember my dad and a bunch of us went fishing in a beaver pond not far from our home one evening. We were still fishing as it got dark but stopped when someone shined a flashlight over the water and we saw a bunch of snakes moving in our direction. LOL. I went walking down the road to that pond a few days later and there must have 20 different snakes on and near the logging road just soaking up the sun. Needless to say my walk was done.

I was water-skiing as a teenager and got too close to shore. To my horror I saw a swirling mass of snakes right in front of me. Had to ski right over them while praying I wouldn't fall. Will never forget this

I was smoking a blunt out in a swamp park where people take their boats to go out into the freshwater. Out of nowhere, 2 people roll up and start making some clicking and calling of pets noises. All of a sudden like 3 gators crawled out of the water and they started feeding the gators marshmallows. One of the weirdest things I have seen in regards to humans overlapping with nature. Also, very illegal and irresponsible. I assume they were fattening up the gators and every other week they show up and catch one to eat.

The moccasins and cottonmouths are a whole different terror if you have never seen them racing across the water, popping their heads up like a periscope, and my personal least favorite just dropping out the dang trees!

@@brandywine4000 Yeah, imagine being on a beaver pond at night and then shine a light across the water to see a few of them heading your way.

I lived in Florida for 20 years, had to move and I miss it all the time

Hey fellow Floridian, I was born and raised in South Florida now moved to Georgia he isn't wrong to say that

I lived in SC for 10 years, built up a tolerance for the heat/humidity, and then moved to TN 6 years ago. Now when I go visit my parents in FL or go back to SC, I no longer have the tolerance T__T

I miss Florida I moved to Ohio 3 years ago I lived in St. Could nice place tho

Good one

You forgot Saturdays for the Seven-Day Adventits. Some towns in Texas shut down on Saturday

My town too but we still can only buy liquor 7:AM to 7:PM Monday thru Saturday

I remember the days when you could buy a hammer on Sunday - but you could not buy nails.

I just realized liquor stores are closed on Monday if a holiday (Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s) falls on a Sunday. I wasn’t the only one unaware, as I saw many people with their noses pressed against the glass door to make sure they weren’t being burgled!!

Okay? It’s the south it’s Christianity down here. Don’t like it ya can head back up north.

The first couple of 80+ degree days are like that for me. But since it was only 50 a couple days before....

I too, once battled with alcoholism

They repealed that law years ago in Georgia

That's the thing. They probably wouldn't let an actor with a real Southern accent use it in a movie. Not "Southern" enough.

I wondered what happened to the others.

Still true in NC. The wal-mart even has an automated speaker message reminding people on Sunday morning that they can't buy alcohol before 12.

@@TheProjectHelpDesk Yup! My church had to skip communion one Sunday cause we ran out of wine and couldn't buy any more!

@@dillonvandergriff4124 LOL! They still sell grape juice, though!

Liquor or just wine and beer. I grew up in texas. There and the other parts of the south I've been to sell wine and beer in the grocery store. Now that I live up north (NJ) around here most big places just have a separate but attached full Liquors store. It's weird not being able to buy a bottle of wine while grocery shopping.

@@RainCheck797 Must be a Northeast thing. Here in Michigan, every grocery store and most gas stations sell booze.

@kynn23 it's mostly a New Jersey thing, even the neighboring states aren't as stubbornly insistent that all alcohol must be sold in dedicated liquor stores. Pennsylvania sells beer at pizza places

@@kynn23 I live in NC, where one can only buy liquor from the ABC store. On my travels throughout the country, I found myself in a Walmart in Nebraska. As I walked down one aisle, I saw all the Cokes (and yes, that includes Pepsi, Mtn Dew, Dr. Pepper and, of course, Co-cola) on one side and liquor on the other.

@@TheAchilles26 I lived in PA until 97 and we had state liquor stores then. They closed at 9pm. So if i got out of work late but NEEDED alcohol, I had to drive to Maryland for it. Not sure what it is like now.

I HATE it fake accent's literally

Same. Also some of the most bipolar weather throughout the year.

Girl Scouts?

What! The Pig sells beer on Sunday?

ya but then you'd be in Texas. Ha!

@@StarlordStavanger Yeah good point. You don't NEED beers when you are in Texas, you get that buzz just from being better than any other state.

@@sillyquiet there's a handful of better states my guy. ha!

I’m not dying over a baseball 😅😂

That sounds bad enough here in Michigan. I'm glad you got A/C after that summer.

I turn into a different type of person in summer. I don’t have much need to go many places but in summer- I go next to NO where. I cannot tolerate the heat or humidity. I beg to move somewhere cool that time of year! Maybe we can airBnB our place? 😂

I’m in Mississippi, and there were times that I swore I saw a giant magnifying glass up in the sky…

I have lived there and swore it was the gateway of the 7th circle of hell!!! Mercilessly hot!
