Southerners In The Summer

It's officially summertime in the South. I don't care what the calendar says. Get your frying pan ready, make friends with your Air Conditioner, and find your nearest 24-hour gas station (for reasons I will explain in this video).

[@alostrich]

Subscribe or your outside eggs will burn

[@earthlingposer]

Thanks Matt! Another good one. I was in a Sneaky Pete's gas station last month and those old men who hang out there were mocking me for being a rich man since I was buying an energy drink..he said Boy I wish I was a rich man buying them 5 dollar drinks!..it could've been a sketch!

[@liznichols4916]

I work for FDEP (Florida Department of Environmental Protection), back when the state was first being surveyed they pulled chains with mules to survey land. After losing a mule to BLOOD LOSS from the horse flies, biting flies, and mosquitos they decided surveying was not to be done in the summer months. In one instance a man counted 40 alligators in the square he was supposed to be surveying so he stopped counting and said they could have that square. No joke!

Matt , the best part is the thunderstorm that lasts 30 seconds . It just happened here a couple hours ago .

True Northerner Fan again: "...and the Yankee Transplants you know they're struggling" - It's 90 degrees up here right now and it's only the turn of June. It was just a nice 65-70 and boom, the south came up here to visit. Thanks for coming to say hi but next time send a warning or something? :D

I am a nurse, and once did a travel contract to Arizonia. I walkes outside one August day after work, the locals had all been coming in complianing about the heat, so expected the worst. I got iutside and said, aw its not hot, this is spring like, good football weather. The locals screamed its HOT! Its a hundred degrees! I said no it aint, its maybe 75, 78. They pointed to the themature on the wall outside and it read 101. I said that got to be broken. But at 10% humidity, it felt like that one week of comfortable fall to me. They all melting and i hadnt even broke a sweat walking to my car and back. LOL

As a southern native those long springs come with a price. 4th winter is brutal

Don't forget the 3 minute rain that steams up the street....

Love your content! As a Northern Transplant working at UTK, you have become a staple video content I watch on lunch break haha.

Another classic Matt, thanks. Also I hope you congratulated Adam Schwartz on the new addition to his family. :-)

Gnats!! I moved here to Mobile from Seattle last October. We have gnats up there for sure. I think ours must be a different species. Ours up there were more of a solo wandering nomad type. Sure, they go for the face, but you could shoo them away with a couple of Van Damme chops in the air. You guys down south have coordinated squadrons that work in an attack pattern that is as complex as it is relentless. These squadrons are led by Kamikaze gnats that inspire the rest of the gnats by flying into your ears, your eyes, or your nose.

[@Julie-pb9iz]

That was brilliant. Thanks

Upper East Tennessee in the '80s, if you moved part of a shirt off of your arm, you heard a peeling sound. Also, on the hottest days, some really, really weird bugs started showing up outdoors. Also also, parts of the car that were made of black plastic would soften up and kind of melt.

Oof I feel this, last year we had a pipe bust then 2 weeks later when we finally got that fixed our AC sounded like someone threw a brick in a drier.

I recently broke the lemon pyrex sun tea jar that was handed down to me from my mother in law. I'm pretty sure I'm cursed with 7 years more miserable summers lol

As kids we would cool off with garden hose, or jump in the the closest creek. And fight for that little bit of shade, swings were the best fans without electricity.

The rain shit is spot on. I lived in Tampa for awhile and it rained every afternoon for like 20 minutes, and then done. It was like clockwork. Sometimes it was a total downpour and you'd swear there was almost no clouds in the sky.
