When the South loses cell service

[@alostrich]

Shirts are from my merch store! Check it out here- gettinplaceshop.com

[@siljatanner1318]

I came to the comments to find out about those RAD shirts 🤣🤣🤣

[@AliciaRainbow]

Yesss I need that HISS shirt

[@Kerryjotx]

That’s what I came here to ask

[@BethMDowney]

Already sold out of the HISS shirts? Bring them back PLEASE!

[@angelaj686]

Restock the Lampoon's shirts!❤

[@CynicalPete]

As a one of the two C-Spire customers, yes we’re fine

[@BuckeyeNut123]

2 cans and a string?

[@jamesstanley7065]

Yup we're good. 😂

[@mchlhffnr]

That makes 3 of us

[@royce0869]

Lol

[@wendelljohnson1052]

At least 5 of us. CSPIRE was fine.

[@kittyhasfangs2291]

Gonna start Cicada 😂Wireless where we all stand outside and yell at each other. 😂😂😂

[@cinnabunning]

I had no idea where this particular joke was going when he started ("Cicada Wireless"? 🤔), but that punchline hit SO hard 😂😂

[@301.allday]

Then go off the grid for 11/12 years? Or maybe that's just Maryland.

Cicada Wireless, where screaming incoherently at each other is just how we do things.

"This never happened with Bell South" - brought a tear to my eye, being old enough to remember Bell South

[@iamafish7]

They were only bought back by AT&T in like 05. A lot of these phone companies need to be broken up again.

[@philgoad5587]

I remember when it was still Southern Bell

[@RICHat22]

I only remember as far back as South Central Bell.

[@whopper526]

We had southwestern bell, was just talkin to my husband about that the other day lol

SOS: straight outta service

[@k86_]

My mom is laughing her butt off for not giving into pressure and getting rid of her land line. 😂

[@vtaylor21]

I always call my grandmother's landline. I have her cell phone, but I haven't used that in years.

[@SolaScientia]

My parents still have theirs, but I swear the only calls to it all are spam. All the doctors' offices and anyone important gets the cell numbers (call quality is not that great on the landlines anymore where I live).

[@AKHWJ3ST]

I'm just the opposite. If you want to talk to me, call my land line. My cell is unreliable. The only thing my cell is good for is texting and giving me a false sense of security when I'm on the road. I keep telling people that but they don't listen to me.@@SolaScientia

[@kynn23]

The only reason I gave up my landline was cost. I wish I could afford to keep both phones.

[@dmandman9]

@@kynn23I got rid of mine due to cost as well. But I’m doing a bit better now, so I might just get it back.

We called one of the buildings on my college campus the Bellsouth building. I'm not sure what its actual name was and I definitely don't know what they call it now.

[@WhiteTiger333]

This never happened with Bell South - LOL!

“Cicada Wireless” 😂💀 Genius

[@cjengland2365]

Cameo by a real telephone! LOL!

[@FreedomJane-bx4um]

Dinner bell does the same thing. The smell of chicken fried steak is also wireless.

[@TinySwanGrandAdventures]

Same with freshly grilled steak or BBQ being smoked 🤤🤤

[@vishnu79]

I went to church last Sunday w/my sister and her family because I was going to help put up her new gutters afterwards. She was hosting her "ladies book club" (translation = gossip circle) while we were outside, and she made "brunch" for everyone. Chicken fried steak, hashbrowns, waffles with jam, sausage patties, and sourdough toast, with Amish butter and cheese on the side. I swear we could smell it halfway to the hardware store.

[@dvldog_]

Matt was on point, on topic, on time..... even had the throw-back to Bell South..... and the HISS t-shirt is freaking awesome, as was everything about this video.........

[@MrnmrsCCazares]

My boy Matt is *on toppa dis!* also with the quick fast costume changes.

[@WarPoet-In-Training]

That first bit was the most country thing ive ever heard 😂

[@jaymeelk9380]

I miss just going outside and screaming at each other. So and so, come home! Hey whoever, you home!? I could hear my Mom from anywhere I was supposed to be. If someone was yelling for you, people come tell you, in case you missed it even. Like hey so and so, your moms calling for you, literally, hollering across town.

[@reelBigSpic]

When they said “the South will rise again,” I think it’s rebounding exponentially with glorious comedic timing!

[@joshmprescott]

BELLSOUTH. I thought I was the only one who remembered.

[@jeffreyhansen1737]

And now it's AT&T for landlines. But I promise anyone who had bellsouth had way more phone issues than this little outage we just had. Rain causing static, power company cutting drops, cut cables and such lol. I work for the phone company so I experience this quite a lot🤣🤣🤣

[@vmcgee9972]

​@jeffreyhansen1737 I worked at BellSouth during divestiture in the 80's. I'll never forget that headache

I got jump scared by the C Spire reference. That is so region specific, even in the South. Having used to work customer service for a company they contracted, I wish there were that few customers. We would have had a more manageable work load.

My waffle house is still open, so we're good, for now, anyway.

[@DeliveryMcGee]

If Waffle House is going about business as usual, whatever disaster just struck isn't THAT bad. If only serving a limited menu, the situation is dire. If closed, your town just got Old-Testament-style smited (smote?). If Waffle House closes preemptively, you want to get very far away ASAP.
