John Crist - Men From LA vs. Men From the South - What Are We Doing?

[@heatherward5053]

I live in the South. When I have had a flat tire I got out to start changing it. Before I actually got the spare out 3 different men stopped to help me and had me back on the road in 15 minutes. Love our Southern guys!! Y’all are the best!!

​@SordidBison I was passing through Catawba, NC on my way home Monday. There was a woman on the side of the road with a flat tire. Two men had already pulled over to help her and a police officer was just arriving. That many people in that tiny town (population around 700 and all back country roads) stopped to help. It warms my heart. I had my dad with me and I know he would have insisted on stopping to help but he's almost 76. Young men these days can take a few pointers from the older generations and of course the southern, country men. 😊

These are traits healthy males do not have.

I am from the South, and my family and I vacationed in Illinois (the farthest we’ve been up north) a few years back and couldn’t believe how unfriendly they were there.

I was born in the south and lived in NYC for 1 year during covid. I worked in healthcare and built a UVC box in order to sterilize things after working with a covid patient. So many of my coworkers were amazed and asked me how I built it. My response "I lined a box with aluminum foil and hung a light in it." It really surprised me that something that simple seemed so impressive to them. A big part of that I feel is pretty much everything you could want is within walking distance in a city. Here in the south, you would have to drive 45+ minutes just to get to a grocery store, and you won't even come close to the same selection.

While allergies are real, and serious, and life threatening, I think his point was that as kids there didn’t seem to be too many people with them. It was asthma, and peanuts. Now it’s pretty much everything you can think of. Either people are weaker, or technology is better to detect such things.

[@josev7417]

How old are you? I think you missed the point altogether.

[@heathercontois4501]

Food is not regulated like in Europe. We have more chemicals in growing and processing that weaken the bodies abilities.

[@kathyingram3061]

~Childhood vaccines have been increased & more toxic ingredients added, especially in 1989~That is a major cause of these 'disorders'~

[@chrisKyle7274]

Or people are just pussies nowadays!

[@johnchandler1687]

​​@@kathyingram3061 And bad diet. Food that's an industrial product, not really food your body recognizes. Eliminating sugars and highly processed carbs completely will cure most allergies and asthma and diabetes. Try finding a Doctor of Nutrition. You'll be suprized by how much your MD. Doesn't know about what you should and should not eat.

[@lukefuller284]

Thanks for coming through Cincinnati last weekend!!

[@RealMerryMary]

LA: Athenian Southern people: Spartans

[@ddw1272]

Was this shot at the Alabama Theatre? I feel like i recognize those balconies

[@tonic.1917]

He mentioned Birmingham, so probably.

[@hollybarnes842]

Yes. He was at the Alabama Theatre in October 2023

[@christophersauer1939]

There are no men in LA.

[@angelpjc]

😍 Good vibes sent ur way, John. Keep up the hilarity

[@jaimymetts]

I love our workin men and military!

[@davidscott9572]

I grew up on military bases so it wasn't till we lived off base that I learned you can hire people to fix stuff at five my dad took me to a shop to test tubes in the TV I grew up helping fix refrigerators washing machines cars there wasn't anything my dad called a contractor for.

[@louisetaylor6952]

Men who can fix things are so sexy...

[@letajohnson8838]

I miss the comedy show videos! They're all the Net Positive ones now.

[@TylerMcMahan]

Got tickets for your show in Fayetteville AR. Looking forward to it. Your skinny jeans and skilllessness will fit right in here in the LA of Arkansas. 😂

[@anitaharris9095]

Not all of us would be dead without our cell phones. I didn't have a cell phone until way after I was married. I got married in 1985. I was raised with a rotary phone,. analog clock, and know how to read map, do math with out a computer ane even figure taxes on what you spend while shopping.

[@Idk.lol7689]

Depends on wheree you live lol. I can navigate my town without a phone but Dallad lubbock or Amarillo im screwed without a modern map.

[@wadesanders7968]

Went to la la once for e3, my host was a videographer, he had a 72 Cadillac convertible but sitting on side of the sunset Blvd, said it ran hot. I rented a car for the day and we went over to AutoZone got a thermostat that installed on side of road and we cruised up and down Ventura and sunset all day in style, Alabama Boy here!

[@jasondowns940]

I’m from the Midwest and went down south to do some roofing. I was taking it easy due to the heat, but literally everybody kept telling me to slow down and not work so hard.

[@garrettferrell6821]

Probably getting paid by the hour,gotta stretch those jobs out 😂

[@timothytraver5918]

Why so quiet? (The performance audio peaks at -13.8 dBs. -36.8 RMS.) Normalize it to -0.5 dB's before exporting.

[@straycat1674]

Funny, I’ve been down south myself. Moved to LA in 2005. My girlfriend is from Northern California. Men are little different up there than men in Southern California. I think closer to what I am. One thing I’ve learned, most of the people I’ve met in Los Angeles would die within weeks of an apocalypse. They don’t know how to hunt or fish. They don’t know basic first aid and self-care. They can’t fix much of anything. Can’t fix an engine and I’m not talking about a computerized when I’m talking about a carbureted engine. They don’t know how to farm or forage. They don’t know how to take and regrow vegetables from portions of used vegetables. My girlfriend has stated as much with her experience as well. Plus a lot of the people I’ve met that are from Southern California, look older than me I’ll be in 10+ years younger than me.

[@vuho2075]

I'm a life long Southern California guy who works in corporate finance. Where do I fit in?

[@thefriendlyranger5718]

Sadly, you don't. Dudes who keep their heads down and quietly keep the world running mostly go unnoticed and that's not always a bad thing. I'm a Deep South dude yet have seen enough of the world to not buy into generalizations.

[@GlennRiccobono]

Peanut allergies!!! 🤣 Sorry Snoopy

[@jimpinney]

It is so sad, that he is so right.

[@perijetton9275]

Being from the South is the best culture in the country!

[@scotteboy]

We've got a 41 year old dude at my job who didn't know what a Phillips Head is.

[@buffalobill9958]

I feel like our best skill is just having the confidence to get at it. If something needs done we may not know how to do it but we have the confidence that we can and we'll find a way to get her done. May not be the right way but it's a way 😂

[@thefriendlyranger5718]

Yep, I've done plenty of things that no one taught me to do. The key is just starting (and hopefully not doing something stupid that results in serious injury or death). 😀

[@rondacey7595]

What about us Northern, from New England. If it's 40 degrees it's spring 🌼🌱😅.

[@Sporkonafork1]

The last joke made me actually cry 🤣🤣

[@priscillamann4852]

Funny. It's good to laugh again, thanks

[@musicallydisneyamvs6731]

I an adopted Asian, not from the south, I already knew how to refuel, change oil, do laundry, cook on the stove, clean the house, handle the tv by the time I was eight years old. So Idk, genetics or dumb luck? 🤷‍♀️

[@hurdygurdyman1905]

Not genetics -- I have spent years living in several different Asian countries and the guys here... they can't do ANYTHING

[@lisagrace6471]

It is so true! I am in another country right now...and I had problems with my cell phone and it was scary lol.

[@BrendaWilcoxson-wk2lv]

I come from generations of Alabamians. We are blessed with manly men that treat women like queens.

[@LindaMedley-ym1qc]

Nothing better than a southern guy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@brucehalleran1149]

Not to disagree with anything he said, but perhaps the qualifier aught to be rural, rather than just southern. If the local hardware stocks T-posts, welding gas, electrical distribution panels, and more than 4 kinds of animal feed, that would be a good indicator.

[@markholbrooks7218]

Southern born, Southern bred, Southern till the day I'm dead

[@Tikenmuwings]

Damn straight

[@Heavywall70]

LA is Louisiana It is the south!

[@BigRW]

No such thing as toxic masculinity.

[@matthewdubay1180]

I read the title and think, isnt LA in the south. Loiusiana correct, LA?

[@RedneckAdonis]

I wish they would quit moving down here. We dont want em.

[@T.L.610]

💯

[@timothyknight2236]

Any of you 60 year old men out there remember having bottle rocket wars?

[@MicahM]

Dude this is so accurate!

[@cjhoward409]

So true … without our phones we’d be dead 😬😂

[@edithdlp8045]

I would survive, I am from 1975.

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

Ppl would be rioting in the streets without their tech high 🤣

[@Roma-rusk]

​@@twobitsandpepper8235 no one would know. 😂

[@prestonowens4594]

Don’t forget us MidWestern men, we’re the intermittently depressed factory workers. We’re like the Mordor Orcs toiling away in Isengard.

[@amyfairburn5460]

Well, Bless your heart!
