omg, so under this bill you get yourself and all your friends together, go pay for movie tickets, and have one of you sneak popcorn in. Get all of your friends to point out your friend with the popcorn to a staff member as soon as you walk in and you all walk out with more money than you started with. Just share the extra money with your popcorn eating friend and you can go to a movie you actually want to watch and then out for a meal afterwards and be no worse off than the start of the evening What a well thought out law
As someone who lives in Salem, Oregon, this story was hilarious to hear. Thank God it didn't pass so I can enjoy my popcorn at Northern Lights Theatre as I please!
Dude, were you a tour guide or something? You have such a nice delivery. I could listen to you talk all night (which I have done on occasion). Keep up the good work!
This would have sunk the movie theater industry in Oregon entirely, and been a major blow to the film industry as a whole. Movie theaters barely break even from ticket sales, hence the steep price of concessions. If Walker's bill had passed, cinemas would have lost money by being forced not only to stop selling their most popular of said concessions, but to pay out refunds and bounties to prospective popcorn eaters and their respective tattletales. This would also be hot off the heels of United States v. Paramount, an antitrust case that broke down vertical integration in the film industry. Not only that, the Television was slowly entering living rooms across the country, causing film to really need to step up its game if it wanted to compete. The 50s were a time when the cinema experience was filled with glamorous innovations, huge color and widescreen spectacles, classy roadshow engagements, and with that came increased operating costs. If an entire state was left out of that equation, the Silver Age of Hollywood would have had much less momentum. If, God forbid, the bill had passed and other republican states got similar ideas (as they tend to do when one passes a successful bill), one can only imagine the damage done to Hollywood, Movies, and American culture as a whole.

I was waiting for the twist ending, where the anti-popcorn politicians who didn’t show up were caught robbing movie theaters while the owners were distracted. The movie theater owners come back the next day to find the places picked clean while truckloads of theater seats and popcorn machines were headed out of state!

Typical. Instead of encouraging the movie theaters to get rid of popcorn, a legislator thinks that the solution is to pass a law forcibly preventing it. As if the law would even work very well.
this is so funny. i swear dean walker had misophonia. if i was rich and powerful and also stupid, i would want to do the exact same thing as him, and i would also deserve the exact same amount of shit for it.
notice how the noise of the popcorn wasnt a problem until the anti-popcorn witness started talking makes me think the people started being loud on purpose just to fuck with him and i think thats amazing
Or it could be that people just didn't bother complaining until someone else did. It would seem less embarrassing if they weren't the first one to do so

Just share the extra money with your popcorn eating friend and you can go to a movie you actually want to watch and then out for a meal afterwards and be no worse off than the start of the evening
What a well thought out law
As someone who lives in Salem, Oregon, this story was hilarious to hear. Thank God it didn't pass so I can enjoy my popcorn at Northern Lights Theatre as I please!
Dude, were you a tour guide or something? You have such a nice delivery. I could listen to you talk all night (which I have done on occasion). Keep up the good work!
Thank you SO MUCH for pronouncing Oregon the correct way. - from a person who grew up in the state.
When you live there, you learn how to be cool. Take it from me
It’s not the “correct” way. It’s just the Oregonians’ way of pronouncing it…incorrectly.😉
At least they don't say
" Warshington " like most people from WASHINGTON state .
( I used to live in Klamath Falls )
How else would it be said?
Almost died in a plane crash for a joke! Clise shave with a close call.
This is a perfect example of how worthless politicians were/are.
you know he tried to tattle on someone for eating pop corn to loud and was told to shut up
I love the background. So much better than a green screen or a bookshelf like everyone else! Always beautiful.
Good to know that American politics has always been a circus
This would have sunk the movie theater industry in Oregon entirely, and been a major blow to the film industry as a whole. Movie theaters barely break even from ticket sales, hence the steep price of concessions. If Walker's bill had passed, cinemas would have lost money by being forced not only to stop selling their most popular of said concessions, but to pay out refunds and bounties to prospective popcorn eaters and their respective tattletales.
This would also be hot off the heels of United States v. Paramount, an antitrust case that broke down vertical integration in the film industry. Not only that, the Television was slowly entering living rooms across the country, causing film to really need to step up its game if it wanted to compete.
The 50s were a time when the cinema experience was filled with glamorous innovations, huge color and widescreen spectacles, classy roadshow engagements, and with that came increased operating costs. If an entire state was left out of that equation, the Silver Age of Hollywood would have had much less momentum. If, God forbid, the bill had passed and other republican states got similar ideas (as they tend to do when one passes a successful bill), one can only imagine the damage done to Hollywood, Movies, and American culture as a whole.
An interesting theory but the bill would of likely even if passed quickly undone for the simple reason of almost nobody outside the senate is for it
This is basically an episode of Parks & Rec
L'il Sebastian was killed by a popcorn ball. 😔😔😔😔
Honestly, with how loud movies get now, it would be surprising to hear someone eating popcorn. lol
Your vids are so interesting man, your self directed tour vid actually gave me a lot of good pointers that ended up helping me pass a tour guiding exam (I’m in tourism school atm) so thank you!
Everyone else on UA-cam just covering the same old stories, but you dig deep lol.
I can’t believe Jack Bain with that betrayal, ripped my heart out

You are one of my favorite channels. I love watching the videos you put out. Definitely underrated for sure and I hope more people discover your channel
That fuddy-duddy dean walker
Anyone notice that big rock over to the right looks like a giant piece of popcorn ? 🍿
Love how my guy is just standing in a forest. Not for practical reasons or some thematic backdrop, just presumably because he likes the fresh air and being outside. Respect.

Red Scare [the racial slur]
I should have grabbed a bag of popcorn for this one! Thanks for sharing such an obscure news story with us! 😜
3:55 Popcorn for me, but not for thee!
I was waiting for the twist ending, where the anti-popcorn politicians who didn’t show up were caught robbing movie theaters while the owners were distracted. The movie theater owners come back the next day to find the places picked clean while truckloads of theater seats and popcorn machines were headed out of state!
socialism is when no popcorn
You mean when YES popcorn
socialism is when popcorn
Triple money sounds like a free ticket glitch. You could just have your family snitch on you over and over and over and split the rewards.
Another great story, thoroughly enjoyed it all around. Love your vids, watched almost all of them and always excited for the next release!
Bro this is hilarious!!!!! 😂
This is why I love your channel! This country has some very interesting history. You’re the best keep up the good work.
9:12 "Senator Walker is not a Communist. He may be a liar, a pig, an idiot, a Communist, but he is *not* a porn star!"
Do you have a teleprompter? How in the world do you memorize so much of the verbiage from your sources?
Wild stuff. Great video. And pre-congratulations on reaching 100k subs in about 3 months.
People practice.
This has some RFK energy to it.
Love the channel, and I highly appreciate all of your work in uncovering our local history.
My question is, do you know if there is a single grave from a Confederate Civil War veteran? I’ve only found Union veterans (no surprise). I think you could do a* separate series on decorated soldiers from various conflicts, as a new series for your channel. Best wishes from RI.
I've been wanting to do UA-cam for a couple of years and I'm getting to the point where I'm actually writing down video ideas, and suffering to find any good ones that aren't taken already. I thought I struck gold, I thought, when I came across the idea of maybe just making casual conversational history videos of my local areas' urban legends and other such modern mythologies.
but then I found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I feel like yet another idea I wasn't fast enough to do
oh, well, I'm sure your labor here produces much better content than I ever could dream of. keep it up, man.
2:27 treble damages for allowing the presence of the kernel!
Always love the outdoors vibe of your videos.
Typical. Instead of encouraging the movie theaters to get rid of popcorn, a legislator thinks that the solution is to pass a law forcibly preventing it. As if the law would even work very well.
Like abortion bans will stop people, but then nothing can be done to make guns a little safer for everyone.
Listen, I found this channel a few months ago and I'm obsessed. Please keep going❤❤.
Well, I can't eat popcorn, but if I caught one of y'all doing it, I'd be rich!
Now we have boxes and tubs that do not make noise. Oh, well!😂😂😂😂
this is so funny. i swear dean walker had misophonia. if i was rich and powerful and also stupid, i would want to do the exact same thing as him, and i would also deserve the exact same amount of shit for it.
Me: sees new DimeStore upload and immediately pops a bag of Orville Redenbacher and takes a seat
My home state, odd then, odd now. I love Oregon.
notice how the noise of the popcorn wasnt a problem until the anti-popcorn witness started talking
makes me think the people started being loud on purpose just to fuck with him and i think thats amazing
Or it could be that people just didn't bother complaining until someone else did. It would seem less embarrassing if they weren't the first one to do so
It is not the popcorn, but the bags. Put popcorn in cups. Our local theater does. 😉
Excited to watch, love the videos!
Why do you keep glossing over the fact that it says popcorn AND peanuts?? Jimmy Carter is ashamed of you
I really liked this video. Speaks to the core issues within America.
Man fuck the national debt! The real issue is popcorn.
That photo is the coolest thing ive seen in a while
Orville Deadenbacher, the Popcorn Zombie, approves of this video.
Planning to binge Dime Store Adventures during this snowy day in Kansas City. At least till 3:25pm GO chiefs!😂
Today, the good Senator would be labeled as either a fascist or a communist or both.
that hairdresser is now my personal hero
the only voice of reason
11:40 a lawmaker being pro something until it becomes a human rights issue is so funny and on brand.
What a funny story! Thank you for sharing, there’s always the most interesting historical anecdotes in your videos! 😊
This is so ridiculous. Nothing changes and I love it
I never thought that a man just standing on a rock could tell such an entertaining story so well.
