Exploring John B. McLemore's Abandoned House with a Hedge Maze | Tour of S-Town

[@goudagirl6095]

I literally JUST listened to this podcast for the first time tonight while I was cooking in the kitchen, and it profoundly affected me when the city clerk retold hearing him commit suicide while on the phone! How awful for her, poor woman! Now, fast forward several years later, and his "son" Tyler has now been killed by police while on his own property. Absolutely heartbreaking. Depression is a b****. I struggle with it myself. John's life made me think of the show "Sherlock" where he laments that his intelligence forces him to spend life seemingly stuck in a bowl full of goldfish who can't, and will never, understand him. I wonder if John watched the series and thought similarly. RIP John and Tyler.

[@jennifergarrett6809]

Some people don't realize just how difficult depression is. How it works on you. Whether it's situational or chemical it really tears you up. I'd never heard of John before but my heart hurts for his family and friends. I hope you're doing well and that you're having a great day. Miss seeing Lakota. Hope she's doing good too. Have a great day.

[@morganlefay2599]

So true, it's always a journey to figure it out.

[@cindydutton9189]

I'm happy to see that you are feeling better. It's amazing what a little time off can do to restore yourself. You have to put yourself first because noone else knows what you need more than you do.The videos are great but not worth wrecking your health over. Stay safe and strong and remember to put yourself first. ❤❤

[@Hossak]

Beautifully put. Watching videos like this are fantastic but they would take a toll on you guys, especially such a poignant place as this one. KZbin is a relentless monster with respect to people wanting content but that takes so much effort and commitment to make, you are not an endless well. Take care of yourselves and stay well.

[@Capt_Caveman205]

My cousin Tyler Goodson from the podcast that everyone loved... S-town.. was murdered by police last night. I can't believe this happened. I love you and miss you Tyler.

[@thamuzkilo]

What happened?

[@Capt_Caveman205]

@thamuzkilo you've probably seen it on the news since then but there was a 911 call for a "domestic situation " and then there was a stand off. They said that he came outside brandishing a weapon and was shot. Out of respect for the rest of my family im not going to go into what i think was going on but this is a really heartbreaking situation. He was such a great guy and everyone loved him so much. And he was such a good father. I really feel for those kids and his sister and brother. He touched alot of ppl all over the world and he will be very missed.

[@mstoi8802]

Oh no.! I came to this video because I loved the podcast so much! I’m saddened to hear that! Oh geez that is awful! I’m grateful that Tyler at least got to know what John did not…and it’s that the podcast touched millions and people adored them!

[@naturaldisaster1043]

Wtf 😢

[@Capt_Caveman205]

@naturaldisaster1043 yea it sucks. Especially for his mother and siblings but the entire family is torn up about it.

[@Myob08]

The coolest thing about John B is he was a genius and an eccentric and funny all at once type of guy. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to everything he spoke about and amazed at how vast his extensive knowledge was on every plant he grew. It’s been over 6-7yrs since l listened to his podcast and to date he is still in my thoughts ❤

[@nanapatsullivan2344]

Im glad to see you posting again. I hope you're doing well.

[@mw6346]

I'd love to hear John's take on Covid and all the things that have happened since his death. Especially his take on Tyler's death.

[@JaiPritchett]

OMG! I loved the podcast and story when it came out.... Just randomly thought about John today and found this vid..... EXCITED TO WATCH IT! LESTS GOOOOO

[@BigBscorner]

Just now watching this sadly Tyler Goodson passed away yesterday 12-3-2023 rest in peace brother

[@351damien]

Such a shame it's all been left to ruin. It's hard to imagine what a beautiful place this was looking at this video but when you see pics back in 2010 or so it's breathtaking. That thunderbird must have been his mother's since new I've discovered pics of him standing in front of it as a child. Sad all round for everyone involved. Rip

[@dianemarie5731]

Loved the podcast when I heard it. So nice to actually see John B’s home. What a story. Thank You

[@dejonc6z]

Rest up John! Very interesting human!

[@mitchlec8916]

This was amazing, I just wish it would have been longer and more exploration of the house, seeing the workshop would also have been great.

[@lindsaybc2192]

Strange. I just, out-of-the-blue thought of s town and decided to look it up and now I see this was posted 2 weeks ago.

[@annpierson973]

Glad your feeling better, I sure have missed you and your videos, I DO NOT WATCH NO OTHER CHANNEL BUT YOURS, YOU ARE THE BEST, AND I PATIENTLY WAIT ON YOU TO SEND VIDEOS. YOU ROCK BIG BANKZ!! GOD BLESS YOU, STAY SAFE AND WELL, ALWAYS. AGAIN, I ONLY WAIT AND WATCH YOUR VIDEOS. ❤❤❤

[@jilldavis7229]

What an interesting person with an interesting story 👍 I would love to have all of that wood that made up his house! Sooo very sad that it is going to waste when it could be put to good use!!! Thank you Bankz for bringing this story to our attention 👍🙏💕

[@lindsaybc2192]

Drone footage was a treat, thanks. The "bridge troll" part was hilarious!

[@ChristopherShirey-o2n]

People dont understand that being depressed and having depression ate very different. Takes you somewhere you cannot explain. Its very dark and very painful.

[@christinarobinson126]

Just listened to the podcast & was hoping to see his home. Thank you for sharing!

[@cynthiahughes5504]

What a misunderstood life a great brilliant man

[@leftyla]

Oh wow, thanks for this. I literally just discovered the podcast a week ago and I've become obsessed with this story. Hard to believe it'll be almost 10 years since his death.

[@crystalmcmahon302]

What an interesting story I’ve never heard of this before but it sounds like he was amazing guy. Thank you for sharing. It’s good seeing you back. R.I.P. John 🙏🏻

[@gilactico]

Really was an interesting guy,as were many of his friends and acquaintances.A fascinating insight into a world full of flawed yet captivating and likable characters,and of course John

[@beatehofmann9022]

What a interesting story and great explore. Thanks for your fantastic work. Greetings from Germany.

[@zslis4348]

I would absolutely love to live in a place like that. God rest his soul.

[@carolynnance2376]

Glad your back! You look great! God has His hand on you! You are loved and needed. I love how you started the video! Double fireplaces. That IS cool ! Great video. Thanks for sharing . Blessings and prayers from OKC Grandmother.

[@CarolF-s5s]

Excellent video! My hometown is about 20 minutes from there. I have relatives living in Woodstock. I've heard many stories about John B! The podcast was great! You are looking good Big Bankz! Take care of yourself!

[@raymondhoagland4976]

Interesting story of John, going to look more into him. Thanks BigBankz 👍

[@cjfravala]

I started doing that after BigBankz video lol

[@fayewilson1892]

I live in Alabama..I have never heard of this man but l am gonna check to see how far this is from where l live..l would love to go see this place❣️

[@carriesnest]

Your laughing was infectious in this video. You had me smiling and laughing with you. It was sweet of you to leave your bracelet 🤗

[@S-and-D]

Omg😂 a hop skip and a jump LOL him up on that bridge 😂

[@retAFcop98]

Great exploration! Thanks for another fantastic adventure!

[@lisaparsons4124]

Yes I agree 💯

[@ericgeorge76]

Thanks for making this video, I just finished the podcast and this helps flesh out the reality of it. Such a heavy and interesting story. Did you realize when you were there that the small scroll shaped headstone with coins was the one Tyler made for him? Mr Reed mentions it in the podcast. I'm glad you filmed it.

[@Jessie-j8c]

I just love your videos you are awesome bigbanks

[@rejectedjeepers7317]

First time heard s town and John reminded me exactly of my friend Dale. He too was not long for this world and he would have loved to hear the podcast.

[@michellekach8967]

Awesome video. Sad story. Depression is so serious. I feel so bad for people that can't get help. ☮️☮️☮️ hopefully there is help out there. 🫶🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much for sharing.

[@jerroldmcley4347]

It is a cool place you went through the house 🏠🏡 so fast I missed it

[@lukecrue1]

I can't believe you didn't say anything about the headstone Tyler made. It was the smaller one with all the coins on it.

[@MZ412BABY]

HEY BIG BANKZ, I'M HERE AS USUAL. LETZ GO! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@jomama5186]

What a beautiful job you always do.🧡🙏

[@lifewithlacy7190]

Very interesting video. Thank you for introducing me to this brilliant man with such an interesting backstory.

[@clairefunnell8481]

A very interesting story. Would have liked to see some of his work. Pretty decent house too. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cjfravala]

Loved this home! I could definitely live in something like this! Awesome explore and beautiful when u both left something on his grave, very respectful....I wear Vans also and understand the sliding 😂❤

[@Macrodosian897]

I try to imagine an alternate universe in which John doesn’t have the depression and is doing a weekly podcast. Damn that guy was so brilliant and fascinating and also tortured. So sad.

[@rhondajones4296]

Just ran across your channel and I can’t stop watching. I really wish I could tag along on one of your discoveries. I live in a house built in the 1900s, my son grew up here and he would be the 5th generation. Stay safe. ❤

[@toxicmoldmedia]

Bankz love the videos bro. They are getting better and better. One thing I just have to recommend is, bringing a respirator with you, just atleast have it to put on if you see any black mold in these houses. My channel has hours and hours of news clips about people suffering from breathing it in, I don't want you to be like them. Just be safe bud.

[@cynthiakoster7014]

Hopefully you are doing well...luv this story!

[@miashort1870]

Amazing explore! S town is my favorite podcast ever❤ Really cool to see John B’s home! I really wish they would’ve kept the maze up though- it woulda been amazing to see it reach maturity, and I bet Kendall Burt would have made some tourist money off it too.

[@paulinemcallister9855]

Great blog take care lost two sons one to drugs and one 19 was ill for some time life hard but can be happy again blessings 🙏 nanapolly xscotland ☮️🌻🥰🌟🦁🌌💥🎏☕🍩

[@davechapman1371]

Fantastic episode! I was wondering if you ever planned to explore his property. I rode my bike to it a few years ago. Such a great podcast and story. Loving this format for this video also. Your channel gets better with each episode.

[@starryknight437]

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing your travels!!!❤️🙏🙂

[@bradrichards6107]

What an interesting story. Thank you for sharing. I am glad you are doing better BigBankz. Just continue to keep your eyes on Jesus.

[@scillyautomatic]

Never heard of this podcast but RIP Mr. Goodson.

[@Macrodosian897]

The podcast is called S-Town. It’s been downloaded more than 80million times. A truly unique piece. I highly recommend a listen

[@JJ9715]

I hope you’re feeling well, BigBankz! I love watching your videos, I find them interesting and sometimes creepy!

[@satosugu_glazer]

came across your channel today and i’m shocked that you don’t have millions of subscribers yet, your content is crazy good! i’m addicted already haha

[@rob2669]

[@lindsaybc2192]

[@Formerlywarmer]

[@joanrhoton8841]

[@joshhartin78]

[@topratedgamer5397]

RIP John ❤

[@rlukegoddard]

Well done. I was hoping you'd hit this place one day

[@CanadianManDan]

Downloading the podcast S-Town , I never heard of any of this , goin get caught up.

[@lindsaybc2192]

How do you like it? Incredible, right?

[@tonibray488]

Great video and RIP John

[@leehart8144]

This was great👍

[@Cricket28000]

This is so interesting 🤔, thanks

[@DonnaJenkins-iy9kw]

Amazing video today

[@peterantonsen3539]

As always great objects and the history 👍

[@Danniedorito]

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ love your channel

[@wanda5869]

This was awesome 👍

[@forthekozofhelpingothers]

Sorry to have missed earlier but watching replay now

[@forthekozofhelpingothers]

I'm glad to see you covering him. I've been watching and reading about him and s-town recently

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi BigBankz 🙋🏽. I'M running late today ‼️ 🤣 LOL.

[@susiesunshine43]

Hey how did you get access to the property??

[@MrPerry281]

Vans are a skateboard shoe....made for grip hahaha love the video tho. Thanks for the content.

[@anitanelson6250]

Can't wait

[@wanda5869]

Wish you could do more videos like this

[@COONNFRIENDS1]

So sad, he died in 2015 and it’s already abandoned

[@annettecorbus5284]

Loved it BigBankz keep exploring and always stay safe ❤️❤️

[@lisafreeman4222]

Awesome video

[@cayennenaturetrails8953]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing !!

[@gerredstallings465]

What's left of the house it was most likely really nice after being put together

[@DMARQUIS97]

Wow seems like a interesting guy

[@susanpugh5265]

Loved this!

[@bigshan8184]

R.i.p Tyler goodson as well. Just lost his life as well

[@lisainks2631]

love the brige moment..😂

[@dawndeany3049]

Love your video you do

[@annjackson1449]

Looks better than the Little Caesars in Memphis Tennessee

[@nicoletanis3703]

Do you know when Rosa Parks could no longer pay her rent, the owner of Little Caesars offered to pay her bills until she passed away. That was a nice gesture.

[@annebell7274]

AWESOME !!!!!! 👍👍👍🌿🌷🌷🌿

[@amandarowell4932]

I live in Alabama and I'm trying to figure out where Woodstock AL is located.. Great explore.

[@MrsRuffner]

We are near the Mercedes plant in Vance

[@joangravel2436]

Thanks I enjoyed watching video

[@Alexwillis225]

Where did you find they found the cold in the freezer?

[@oldnavyGray]

I went yesterday and most of the bookshelves are knocked down, there are holes in the floor, all the Nat geo books were gone a lot of the window’s destroyed the car was even destroyed more with a tire in the front window and the truck up, the baby is still there but your bracelet wasn’t I’m sorry to say

[@pg1171]

Bull Dog Bend! I have been by there so many times...

[@josinger3091]

If the cousins were decent people, they would have given Tyler and his brother a share of John’s estate. John clearly expressed his wishes in the podcast, in his own words. A goodwill gesture of 15% would have made a huge difference to Tyler’s family.

[@rja9784]

I grew up in Centreville, AL. A lot of people knew John. I always remember people saying that he had a lot of book sense but zero common sense

[@loth_on6056]

Dont know that Podcast but in respect of both of them you make a good hood Tour i think...the original Bridge Troll was best Part 😅
