The Moron Brothers

[@Possumliving]

This video has been up for 10 years now, and I've watched it at least 4 times. Love it! I can't (and don't want to) even imagine what kind of miserable life the 47 people who disliked it must be living.

[@mikeellis8339]

City folks

[@fjb4932]

Possum, Looken likes a couple of them thar sour pusses had a few kids. Up to 55 now. Noooo shame ...

[@nikburton9264]

Them folks got no class. Up to 63 now.

[@georgeland9862011]

Those 47 people probably live in an urban jungle with an HOA and some 21 year old giy doing 100 mph past there house in a 25 mph zone.LOL

[@shtooops]

"if weeduh had bologna durin the civil war weeduh won" HAHAHA classic.

[@eagerbeaver57]

A real couple o' good ol' boy's living the good life like they know it. More power to ya guys.

[@hideyho67]

My grandpa had a cabin on the Kentucky,ran trot lines and hunted and fished around those parts up to the day he died. Never wanted to go anywhere else, that's contentment.

[@njtr]

Some people may have thought these guys were crazy, building this boat. Now look at them, having the time of their lives. What a GREAT idea.

[@thatguydoug]

I would absolutely watch a fishing show with these guys. Different guest musician each week, playing and fishing.

[@Cosmicblast77]

I kind of envy them and their peacful life style. Wish I was going down that river in their house boat.

[@seymour5000000]

at first i was shocked, but then i loved it! no mortgage, credit cards, time clocks, boss, deadlines, day care, traffic, gas bills, etc. they own their own lives. love it!

[@wittethan]

Just looked back on this and realized this is the single thing that sent me into a shanty/house boat/raft frenzy that has led up to me making plans to raft down the Big Sip! Thanks guys! PS: I was born in Kentucky!

[@Pwnzistor]

"with his mouth" LOL, seems pretty laid back, I like these guys..

[@tikka3030]

Yep one of the reasons I love living in the south.

[@Str8eningTheCurves]

KYAfield has the best videos...this one and the turtleman are my favorite vids on youtube... These guys are full of laughs... I bet he kept a grin on his face all day hanging out with these fellows.

[@ReannaDrum]

I read about the Moron Brother and this video in the Kentucky Living magazine I got in the mail today and just had to watch this. I'm glad I did. Now I want a old river houseboat even more. Talk about a great vacation!

[@BroTheDude]

I was high when I watched this and thought it was the funniest video I'd ever saw

[@ArkRed1]

You go guys. You people after my own heart. That's the way to live.

[@epsilonsigmamu]

Now you see, why can't we have a reality TV show about THESE guys?

[@SCduckwhacker234]

I laughed when he said somethin bout government cheese and if we had bologna we woulda won the civil war! These guys are hilarious!!

[@wideeyedsneeze]

Oh my GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD! Starting at 3:42 is the greatest banjo riffs I've ever heard but its only 10 seconds long. What is that song?? Has anyone bought their records and can tell me? Its so awesome.

[@t4705mb6]

I would give everything I have ever earned to LIVE on a houseboat like this. I grew up in the country too and find my peace with nature. I should have never listened to the the idiots telling me I had to "get ahead"! Live and learn. P.S.: Bluegrass is my favorite country music. I loved it when the "Darllins" played on the Andy Griffith Show when I was a kid!

[@MartinHouston]

Love you'r boat, and the music. River is beautiful. You guys are a real inspiration.

[@RondoDimes]

"If we'd had bologna during the Civil War, we'd won." lol. KY River is beautiful, especially along the steep palisades.

[@BluegrassCamaroAdam]

man o man nothin like being entertained by the good ole boy's. Great job boys. May God Bless You an your shack.

[@Zigge]

What is that song called they play at 3:55 ?

[@John-ym1dx]

The way you eat them bone carp is you boil em till the bones and meat separates, let the meat cool down, flake it up in a bowl, add a little cornmeal and flour, onion and egg, then fry it up in bacon grease like you would Salmon Patties. Makes good eating.

[@mushroomcloud1]

Just have to ask.....Would you rather spend time with these ol boys on the river or Michael Bloomberg in New York City. .......? There is only one correct answer. (Hint, it is the one with the bluegrass music).

[@kirvin2]

The best way to get around the bones in a buffalo is to leave them in and pressure cook the meat, which makes the bones soft. Then you make croquets, just like salmon. You won't notice the bones and they improve the flavor and add calcium.

[@acousticwork]

I know these gents very well. You'll not find better men. These are the characters we fight for.

[@hideyho67]

My grandpap loved this old river and spent many years living in a cabin,running trot lines.These guys are really funny.One of the songd on their CD is about a guy's wife trying to break the tobacco chewing habit.

[@lazy010011]

"Looks like you built it with your feet to me" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@majorl311]

The song is the Fishing Blues by Taj Mahal

[@FeelingCalled]

Those guys are cool as they come. I like how pops is in the johnboat out back piloting the shanty.

[@swisscheesenrye]

ABSOLUTE HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!

[@njtr]

A lot of people might mock these guys, but inside they're really jealous. I think the boat's beautiful, and a GREAT idea.

[@youtubeuserUCVuhjgRB1]

[@horsesandtipis]

Good bang music there. Love my houseboat too!

[@ds3333]

It is nice to have a best friend like that. I love bluegrass.

[@oldvision1645]

Take it from an old river rat....this IS living! Nothing sooths the soul like drift'n down the river.

[@militiaguy]

Now what's wrong with me? I should be doin the same thing. Love the boat and the music and the fellas. Good on you.

[@hatelyIII]

@thatguydoug Yeah that would be a great fishing show. Great idea there Doug.

[@rossmcclure5618]

[@gamarybeth]

These guys are smart. I wish I was on the boat with them.

[@Banjomountain]

These guys are great. I would do this if I was retired.

[@TexasLady04]

[@brodyjoe50]

[@breckandy]

[@9MrLucky]

[@pl747]

[@cycimian]

Excellant way to beat paying county taxes.

[@dLimboStick]

[@RentAnEducation]

I've shared this video with many people. Very cool.

[@TJ41238]

the way ive heard of getting around the bones is to fillet it and put it in a blender and blend up the meat little hair bones and all and make something like a salmon patty out of it

[@myke201]

Wonderful. wish I could be there. Thanks for posting it.

[@KjoUn0]

Thanks Triple Aught for sending this......I love these guys LOL

[@deejsaan6678]

Have you posted this in Facebook's Shanty Boat group ?

[@Punchabearinnamouf]

Man I'd love to have one of those. I think I might need to go build one this summer!

[@efletch91]

That's totally cool. These dudes are very smart, not morons at all. That's an awesome way to live, in my opinion. And it's also pretty environmentally sound, to be honest, considering that they're not hooked into giant coal-burning electricity plants. I wish I could live like this, just so in-tune with nature.

[@lilheavenranch]

With the crazy life we face everyday, I'd love to take a vacation and hang with them.

[@whistlebelly]

Looks like you built it with your Feet!! Classic!

[@jbuell311]

I wanna take a float trip w these fellas.

[@pelepeng]

What is the song just before 4:00?

[@EmeraldAisle]

if we tried that here, we'd get a ticket for unauthorized motor vehicle on the river, or something.

[@uke552]

These guys are just good Americans!

[@nevermeanttofade]

Where can I buy a ticket for a cruise with you? Need to dangle my feet in the river and let time pass a little slower.
