Not all that, not all there.
After working in journalism for 14 years, I went back to school to get some fancy book learnin's about all this online stuff. My channel started as an excuse to practice editing videos and has turned into a hobby that I really enjoy. There's a quote that says something like, "Everyone will do foolish things, just do them with enthusiasm." I'm about as foolish as they come, and the channel is my way of being enthusiastic about it.
Travel, art, history, and some really foolish home vlogs seem to be the focus of this poorly funded side show, especially when it comes to Kentucky and Central Appalachia.

State Cartoon Characters Created by Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more commonplace in our lives. I decided to have some fun with it and let Microsoft's DALL-E AI create cartoon characters for Kentucky and some nearby states. The results were, well, interesting.

Symbols of the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Переглядів 109Рік тому
Moonshine, horses, barefoot hillbillies... many things comes to mind when people hear the word "Kentucky." And while the symbolism connected to our state in popular culture can be a bit skewed, there are many official state symbols that reflect some of the best Kentucky has to offer. Like others, we have a state song, state bird, state flower, and a state tree that caused a contentious debate t...

Back to Buc-ee's with some First-Timers
Переглядів 315Рік тому
Even though Buc-ee's is only four miles from my house, I'm not there as much as one might think. I make my way back to the land of Beaver Nuggets and jerky with Big Joe and Meleah's World for their first trip ever to a Buc-ee's. Also along for the experience are John and Heather from Exploration Unknown. My first trip to Buc-ee's was with them with the Richmond, Kentucky, location first opened.

secure.kentucky.gov/FormServices/Finance/EKYFloodRelief Taking into consideration the devastation from flooding in Eastern Kentucky and the fact that two questions this week were about places that are in a state of emergency, I pulled this week's quiz.

(A Rainy) 2022 Berea Craft Fair
Переглядів 2002 роки тому
In true Berea Craft Fair fashion, it rained... but it was fair from a rain-out for the 2022 edition of the fair. Artists from several states gathered at Berea's Indian Fort Theater (The Pinancles) for a weekend of creativity, music, food, and fun. In the kids tent this year we made God's eyes and kites, painted and colored. Despite the weather (especially the bad storm on Friday), it was a grea...

Great Salt Peter Cave - Rockcastle County, Kentucky
Definitely Jealous!! I've Never seen a more enticing beverage in my LIFE!! I saw em at Krogers, but I was feeling poor that day. Next time I will DEFINITELY SPLURGE on a 6 Pack🌾💛💚💜💙🙌
Walmart has them the cheapest I've found. They are $2.88 for a four-pack here. They are def worth it!
Lol sees itself thinks it’s another cat? Lol
Before I could get my camera he was talking to himself and seemed freaked out. LOL
Cutie pie
And rotten. Rotten as hell!
I put on my best Caftan, and listened to George Michael, but still...NO Ale8 here😢😢
You just need to move north a couple of states. LOL
😆
My Bestie❣🥰
@@missybrock 😍🤗😘
AI will be replacing us soon. I just hope it makes me look thin 😃. Some of these had me giggling.
LOL! I laughed so hard doing these. I'll prob do a follow-up next weekend because I forgot one I really wanted to include (and I've had a couple of requests). Hope yall are doing great and are keeping an eye out for stimulant addicted ursine creatures!
When the aliens invade, they will come out of the caves & coal mines of KY. Then y'all can add "ground zero" to the list 🤣. Enjoyed!
Ya know, after watching Hellier I'm pretty convinced this is true! Indrid Cold is probably running a pool hall somewhere in Letcher County just waiting for the signal. LOL
Nice. That's what I say when I see something in store lol 😂 lol 😂 that I use see when was little 😂
I'm trying to stock up before it all sells out! It's going fast! I gotta try not to drink it all at once and lose a toe to the sugar. LOL
@@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly Don't You Dare!! 💜💙💜
We are always in search of a good KY Hot Brown.
I've eaten a lot of hot browns in a lot of places, and I think Boone Tavern here in town probably has the best I've eaten. (now I'm thinking about hot browns while making Tuna Helper. LOL)
Hope we can find some. 🤞
Better look fast! our Walmart is about sold out already. (And Walmart's is the cheapest here at least -- $2.88 for a four pack versus $4 and change at Save A Lot)
sure, looks good. But you can’t get that stuff here where I live in Indiana‘s for Sharing Scott
Check Cracker Barrel if you have one close and want to try it. I've heard that a lot of Cracker Barrels have it in their gift shops. I hope all that bad weather I hear about around Chicago and northern Indiana missed yall yesterday!
@@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly we had no storms and I will check Cracker Barrel have one about a mile from my house… thank you Scott
Oh ya
Every time I see your time (horseplop) I grin. LOL
@@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly lol 😆
Lol Perfect song for this
Would you believe I got a notification saying this video would be banned in Russia? LOL
@@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly that’s crazy
@TheNDTShow I agree with you, Nathan.
@@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly 🤣🤣 Wonder Why?!
😂😂😂 hilarious
I'm thinking about doing a follow-up. If I do, I'll do one for Nebraska!
@@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly sounds great
I Love da ginger kitties ❤😂 so 😊
Beautiful boi!
lol
O so sweet love it
Hes cute
Funny looking characters for sure tales
It was a lot of fun to play with for sure! Some of that stuff scares me. I hope people only use AI for good stuff.
OH MY My first remark is that they ALL have too many teeth for this area of the country The one Ohio guy with a hat on looks like his star is in the shape of Texas I am going to shut up and be good, except to say that the last woman shopping for cucumbers was just TOOOOO happy with her find at the yard sale🙄
That was fun.
Thanks Marilyn! It was a fun one to make for sure. It took a long time though because I kept getting tickled. LOL
Large Bass, Small Bass all bass is yummy 😂
You got that right! LOL Have you ever caught a pregnant one and eat the eggs? That's good stuff!
@@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly No, lol that's next level. Like Lily and her fish tongues 👅 😂
@@2002momsc LOL!!!!!!
These are so fun. That scary SC thing look like a grown up sea monkey
Sea monkey! That makes sense! I wondered if it was some sort of crab cake that went bad. LOL
I have WAAY too many comments, so I'll hold back, some😅 The dancing raccoon was my Favorite, obviously. The Elephant for Alabama made me laugh the Most!!!! It was Soo cute, though!!! The AI stuff scares me some, but I LOVED THIS🥰
I'll have to watch several more times to Soak it all in❣
I'll probably have followup video because there were a couple of funny ones I've left out (and I've had a couple of requests. (That Alabama elephant was the best!)
Looks like an interesting place to visit !
It's really a cool place, and my video didn't come close to doing it justice. I'm glad people had the forethought to save it and fix it back up.
I have seen these at Kroger`s but never pulled the trigger on one ,,,, Hard to give up Evan Williams Peach LOL
I'm down for anything peach! These are def worth the try, but I'll admit I was really happy to see the blackberry back in stock at Walmart last night.
Well looks like alot of them got big mouths 😂 o I have laugh till I cried 😂 lot of them looked scary. Tenn I dont know lol laughing peas. O so funny. Big Teeth big feet wow Shewwwww. love this video. O how I needed to laught lol. You done a fantastic job on this video. Ok. Take care ❤
I'm glad you got a good laugh! That made me happy to read. I laughed by hind end off making this! There were a couple of funny ones I forgot to include, and I've had a couple emails asking me to do some more, so there might be a follow-up.
Well I disagree with those knuckleheads in Frankfort ,,,,,, The Coffee Tree IS the ONLY tree in Kentucky ,,,, or it should be !!!!
I agree 100 percent! I couldn't find any reason why they wanted to change it in the first place other than some bickering about a politician running a nursery that grows tulip poplars. Good ol Kentucky! LOL
And AI will take over the world !
It scares me a little, not really because of what it can do, but because of what people will do with it. Now, if there was some sort of AI that could wash my dishes for me I'd be all for that! LOL
These are fun to play with
I've had a ball with it! I had a few more good ones that I forgot to put in this one. I might have to do a follow-up. Hope yall are doing great! (and Duke!)
Good to have you back Scott enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Vickie! This was a fun (and interesting) one to make!
Enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing. Interesting things.
Thanks Vickie! Hope your week is going smoothly!
I enjoyed the video! 😊
Thanks Tina! And thanks for watching!
Great video! I learned some new things. Never had an Ale8 before. Hope to try one some day! 🙂
We need to fix that! LOL Sometimes you can find Ale8 at Cracker Barrels in the gift shop. Hope all is well!
I associate YOU with KY You are a great treasure of the Commonwealth I enjoy a great history lesson on a Monday evening. Thank you for being such a great teacher 🤗 to Popeye from me and Hok'ee🐾🦊🐺
That's so sweet! I like history a lot, and the history here is just so weird at times. What's not to love! Hugs to you and Hok'ee.
Rite now Little Scottie Testerman, don't be a snortin that soap I'll take a snort of that there Bourbon, and give me a chicken leg to gnaw on as well🍗 I could not do the chicken, without the Bourbon Cocaine Bear has officially landed a place in history🐻I will agree....KY does have some quirkiness Thanks for bringing a few smiles mine and Hok'ee's way 🤗 to Popeye🐾🦊🐺
You've not lived until you've had bourbon glazed chicken! The best of both worlds. (Popeye and I aren't speaking right now because of a huge scratch down the side of my nose.)
@@TalesoftheTeknohillbilly Time for Ted Nugent.....Cat scratch fever😾
this has been going on in lexington for a LONG ass time.. hehe when you are in law school they make you do a certain amount of community service to get your degree. Well.. 2003 we ALL got suckered into this. THE WHOLE LAW CLASS of 2003 at UK had to learn the frigging thriller dance. It was marvelous!
I bet that was fun! Me and some friends have talked about doing it this year. If we do, I'll wear my camera on my headstrap and vlog it from that point of view. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods! Thanks for watching!
Drink and the flowers I knew nice video tales
I'm gonna get yall some Ale8 one day. I'm on a mission! I'll leave the allergy flowers up here. LOL
Perfect!!!!
Wait until Wednesday. I've got an interesting one I'm working on!
Loved this video. Learned a few things too.
I've decided I'm going to start doing some more Kentucky-centric videos like this. We have so much to be proud of! Hope all is well is your neck of the commonwealth!
Wow this video is amazing learn so much I do. But yellow flowers bout only think I new plus the drink lol. 😂 amazing what you can leans just take time great video big thumbs up Take care❤
My field is full of those yellow flowers, which is why I can never breathe. LOL I'm gonna get yall some Ale8 one day! It's my mission!
#1🎉
Better than a #2 LOL Hope yall are doing great!
What a fun video!
Thanks! It's hard not to have fun in that store. Hope all is well!
Aight, being from the hills in Arkansas, I have a special appreciation for the commentary. The sister and brother in law made my day. Much love from an old hillbilly.
I might not have much in this world, but I'll always have my accent! LOL Hope all is well down in Arkansas! Thanks for stopping by... come again!
I enjoyed the video! 😊👍
Thank Tina! I love that they are so accommodating to UA-camrs.
"Fun" and "mall" are two words which just naturally go together. We got a kick out of the bear movie too.
I'm addicted to that movie. I don't know what it says about me (LOL), but at least I'll admit it.
Not sure if I've ever seen them in GA. Will keep an eye out just in case.
Sometimes you can find Ale8 at Cracker Barrels outside of Kentucky. Really, we just need to get yall up here for some Kentucky goodness!
The Clay men seemed to have pretty good hair, which probably contributed to their fortunes 😃. Interesting slice of history.
Literally LOLed! They had good hair, but you know it probably smelled like a wet dog. LOL
Sure wish I'd bought into Buc-ee's 20 years ago. Looks like they made some dough off y'all 😁
If I had a fraction of what my friends spend there in a week.... they go just about every night. I don't spend much when I'm there. As long as I get a cold pop I'm all good.
