    hey, i gotta say, you're sense of comedic/dramatic timing is top notch. not just on this video but all ive seen so far. i really love how you have touched my heart with the story of Cathy in the Doot Doot video *and* kept me on the edge of my seat wondering how many birthday mentions you were gonna be able to fit in the Gavle goat video (:
    Btw, my mother has a sister who lives in Stockholm with her partner and children, and gets a silly level of excited when Sweden is mentioned at all (and collects Sweden themed items) So i told her i was watching a Swedish youtuber. She was indeed delighted by this. However, she did feel your name, Jeff, wasn't "swedish enough." sincerest apologies for my mother's Swedaboo behaviour. (sweeaboo? sweeboo? sverigaboo?)

    My siblings has been there for a geology class trip. She said the famous road is gone. And there wasn’t much except sidewalks and trees. But it still was fascinating and eerie. It’s good that no one died there
    Also if you want to learn about another horrifying town look into Johnstown in PA. I had to learn a horrifying amount about it in a high school class for a day. 1889. The entire town flushed away. In the middle of the night in a rain storm that destroyed a large artificial pond that had dams owned by a hunting club that broke and there was no time to warn people. Oh and there is photographs of the rubble. It’s just everything is flattened….

    My family is from PA (we moved when I was 4), and I have never heard of Centralia, so this was interesting :)
    Also, I got a good laugh out of, "You're feeling warm? Don't worry about it, it's just the Pennsylvania climate!" Truly, it can get upsettingly warm in the Summer- upsetting mostly because of the humidity, so you can't cool off via the evaporation of sweat because the air is so saturated very little is evaporating; if anything, it's adding MORE moisture to your skin- but I still wouldn't call it a generally warm climate. Temperate, at most.
    Then again, I now live near Phoenix, Arizona, so most places don't qualify as "warm" from my view. This may simply be a matter of perspective.
    Edit: I have asked my mother, and she knows about Centralia. I'm disappointed she never thought this might be something I'd be interested in hearing about :(
    Edit2: 10:40 PA residents can be remarkably stubborn about some things. This is one of the things that has lead to such events as the booing of Santa Claus at an American football game in Philadelphia, and the somewhat aggressive position that a Philly Cheesesteak is illegitimate unless it's actually been made *IN* Philadelphia. No matter how accurately it's made. (I know, I only mentioned Philly, but those are the most obvious examples I could think of.)

Smoke coming out of the hills, bone white dead trees all over the hills, and then this....just immaculate cemetery. Just ignore all the shotgun shells all over the ground, the locals get bored.

Got me all excited for a documentary that we then couldn’t find, happy when this autoplayed after another video of yours finished. It’s covering basically the same thing lol.
    Sorry I can’t subscribe more, I don’t know if unsubscribing to resubscribe would just mess with your analytics but imagine I did it for the meme.

    The SD card thing is really cute and it makes me want to start using my mom’s old digital Nikon just so I would have a reason to own one.
    Also, great & hilarious video! Another jeffiot banger, no surprise

    I thought the final destination video would be your peak, but I was so wrong. You’re impossible to stop like a sweet sweet Pennsylvania fire city
