Charlie Berens is back with another of edition of Midwest Nice. Charlie jumps his neighbors car, drives himself to the hospital for stitches and gets caught on a Nest camera and Ring doorbell while delivering food for EatStreet.
Being a Midwestern, it scares me that none of this stuff seems outside of normal behavior to me
How do you people live?
@@beamerball666 Very politely.
@@halosam2963 stares in confused northeastern simmering anger, that's not directed at anyone in particular just existence
@@beamerball666 looks.like they live very friendly. looks like paradise
I love midwesterners. Everyone should act like this.
People that don’t live in the midwest watch this and think it’s a parody, but us midwesterners are just actually weird enough to be naturally funny to outsiders
Michigan here, there is a lot of truth in this video!
I swear this is Canada
Parody? I was watching it wondering what the joke was. Welp, good to see you. Off to go get some Culver's. Ope, 'scuse me, just gonna slide by here on my way out.
I am from the Deep South and a lot of it actually reminds me of that area’s people and ways.I had a friend from Detroit who married a South Georgia country boy and went to visit up in Detroit with him. His feelings were hurt because all the people he waved to on the street as they drove by ignored him! I swear! 😂
@@tonibauer2405 Unironically, doing that gets you labelled as unfriendly around here.
“The end times are near.”
*did the Vikings win a super bowl?*
I mean it's not wrong though, is it? lol
As a Vikings fan, this hurt but he’s right... that probably is the first sign of the end of days... tho if the motor city kitties ever win, I’ll be headed to my nearest bunker
@@8-bitalex215 as a vikings fan i laughed.
I gotta tell ya, that one scared the bajesus out of me.
That was uncalled for
Legend says that Charlie, after 5 years, is still holding that door.
That how Charlie got stuck on the MTA
I heard the store gave up and hired him as a greeter.
@@SirFrederick You have to be pretty old to get that one. Sadly, I'm that old.
Don't know if you watched the ending but like they let go of the door
Nah. In the Midwest the man always holds the door for women, the elderly, people carrying things, and whomever happens to be around. I have never seen a woman insist on holding the door for a guy who is unencumbered.
Asking the missionary if he wants a beer and giving him a walleye magazine is Gold dude!
Shortly after I moved to New Orleans from Green Bay (25 years ago) I tried to allow an elderly gentleman to enter an elevator before me (respect your elders) but he insisted I go first (ladies first). We stood there so long insisting the other enter first we missed the elevator all together & had to wait for the next one. When it came back we linked arms and walked in together laughing.
LOL that's adorable
New Orleans!! Love it
That is so cute!!
My 84 year old grandfather will not let me (a woman) hold the door open for him even if both of our lives depended on it 😂
The people holding the door didn't spend 10 minutes saying good bye. They must have been real upset about missing those meetings.
Ahh yes the Minnesota goodbye
Why is this kinda true tho
If its family its gonna be more like an hour standing at the door.
I know ! They were so upset they forgot to tell each other to tell their folks hi
I snowblow my older neighbors driveway whenever it snows more than a couple of inches. Even though I've insisted that I DO NOT need anything for it, so far I've ended up with cookies, 1/2 a blueberry pie and an afghan!lol! Seriously...it's NOT that big of a deal, it's 10 min worth of work....
Your neighbor is sweet. Mine mostly gives me leftovers she's had in her fridge for a few weeks. 😉
wish my mom’s neighbor would do that for her. she’s 64 and shoveled her front walk clear of 10” yesterday! Wyoming women ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh...and I live in Wisconsin!lol!
10 MINUTES? 10 minutes is a LONG time
Exactly! If I’m out there with the snowblower, might as well, amiright?
My grandparents were the only Mormons in their tiny Wisconsin town. They never spoke about their religion to anyone. And everyone was ALWAYS Midwest nice to them. When Grandma died a few years ago, many came to her funeral to pay their respects and didn’t mind the references to their religion. I was so impressed with the level of Midwest Nice my grandparents (and our family) experienced. ♥️
When the Mormons were forced out of Nauvoo, Illinois and began their long trek to Utah, some of them refused to follow. Instead, they migrated North to Wisconsin and set up a community (I THINK just to the west of Burlington). Their leader was somewhat "eccentric" and decided to leave the community and go even further North to Beaver Island, in Lake Michigan. I said he was eccentric: He established his own COUNTRY on that island and ruled over it like a king. When he passed, his two wives put his body in a hand cart and hauled it back down to southern Wisconsin. Where he's buried I have no idea.
@@badguy1481 The Strang Colony. Initially he went to Voree, WI (outside Burlington) where he claimed to discover golden plates that he interpreted. After a while he went to Beaver island. Michigan invaded his Beaver Island kingdom (he claimed to be king of the church, and stated his church had sovereignty over the island, above the state government) to throw him out, and arrested him. He was acquitted and got elected to the state legislature. He was eventually assassinated by former members of his church that he'd excommunicated. A fascinating guy, truly.
@@qadgopthemercotan Good info. Thanks.
@@qadgopthemercotan lmao so that's why nobody wants to go back to Beaver Island
I am glad you permitted them to speak of their religion at their funeral. Umm... nice of you?
When you’re at Midwest Zoom college
Two people: *start talking*
Person 1: oh you can go
Person 2: oh no you can go first
Person 1: no really you can speak
Person 2: no I’m totally fine waiting
😂
Legend has it they're still on that zoom call
*"Ope, you can go"
I kid you not this happened to me today. The teacher finally had to tell someone to go.
@@dragongem124 LOL
This is so true though
I have begun to say “ope” more and more, and I blame you Charlie
I always thought that was just an Ontario thing until I found this guys channel
English isn't even my first language and I still say ope
I think your word thank got auto corrected to blame
@@nutzpwnz thanks for the correction😂
I'm in the West Midlands of England and I've started saying it too 🤷♀️.
"There was a letter from the IRS, I didn't open it cause it's a federal offense and all.. but I did hold it up to the sun and sorry to say it's not looking good Joe"
Oh my gosh this is so True!
I just moved way up midwest, and when my cab pulled up to my house a bunch of neighbors were outside. Everybody knew each other, and ends up my furniture wasn't going to arrive for 2 more weeks! The cab lady loaned me an air mattress, blankets and pillow, the guy across the street loaned me a card table and 2 chairs, the kids nextdoor shoveled my driveway and made snow angeles on my front lawn, and I have a problem crossing the street because everybody stops for pedestrians, I was confused.
LoL
God I Love it!
Talk about Love thy neighbor they got it down🙏💝😁🙏👍
Never hire "All Trust Movers" though they are far from trustable, very far.
Sounds like the opposite of Baltimore, MD where upon arriving, someone will end up trying to take your wallet or phone (or both). Then as you try to make your way to your place, a driver will try to run you over despite the pedestrian crossing light being on so that they can get wherever 5 seconds earlier!
Can't wait to leave this crap city. You made the midwest sound so much more appealing!
@@NguyenLe-sb5xw Thanks, and IKR Especially the pedestrian crossing sheesh!
I left a suburb north of Chicago around 50 thousand people, and my new town has around 3500 people.
I think that's a big factor maybe?
I was driving with a neighbor and they started driving slower and I was wondering why, and she said it's a common place the deer cross, and by golly she's not totalling her car again 😂
Snow, Wolf's & Deer are my favorites I love it and would do free commercials for it if anyone asks LoL💝❄️🐺🦌💝
@@NguyenLe-sb5xw I grew up in the midwest and then moved to Baltimore. Lived there for five years and then high-tailed it back to the midwest.
@@suzC7 yup I hear ya!
LoL
@@NguyenLe-sb5xw Hey, I lived in Baltimore for 8 years after growing up in Wisconsin, and, um, well, maybe you're right, don'tcha know? Nice to be back in WI! Smell our dairy air!
The fact that there's snow in one shot and no snow in the next perfectly describes the midwest
Yup, we invented dressing in layers.
Walleye "Sirloin of the Sea".
I can think of a lot of people who'd appreciate neighbours that helpful. And I would definitely stop by for old fashioneds.
right? anyone who snowblows my vertical gravel driveway is getting at least a 6 pack.
Me too! I'd nevet turn down an invite from Charlie! He's the GOAT!!!
WHAT is in an Old Fashion? My grandparents drank them during winter in North Dakota.
@@kristenkaz3080 One of the classic cocktails. Berens even has a video about making them WI style. :-) ua-cam.com/video/sPGrvymxFnk/v-deo.html They're remarkably tasty, you can customize them almost as much as you can a "martini" or a "daiquiri" or "margarita" (using quotes because some of these drinks really don't qualify in my book, but YMMV). I had a "chocolate old fashioned" yesterday that was delicious. They tend to be on the sweeter side, but are open to interpretation.
We all need this level of kindness
Amen!
I once came home after work to a pair of people sitting on my living room couch talking about god with my athiest husband. I think we are midwest nice.
😂👍
He might have trying to de-convert them. JW's take their junior missionaries to the houses of people who've talked to them in the past and have been noted as being atheists. The purpose isn't to proselytize, but rather give the new missionary a baptism by fire, so to speak, to learn to recognize those who will have no wish to join them.
My Midwest Catholic alter boy , dad would just yak away trying to convert them .My mother couldn't believe it . He did it for hours. They never came back ! Lol!!
Put those Mormon missionaries to work. They’ll do anything... mow your lawn, dig a hole...
🤣
"I need to tell you the end time are near!"
"Did the Vikings win a super bowl?"
LMAO💀
That got a legitimate LOL from this Minnesotan.
cuts deep
As a die hard Vikings fan, that was funny.
Dude Dad finally got his 10mm back. What a glorious day.
Why is it always the 10mm?
@@michaeltovar3785 seems the entire car is held together by them.
Wait,there’s 10mms?
@@michaeltovar3785 They should start replacing the 11mm socket with a backup 10mm one.
“I need to tell you the end times are near”
“Did the Vikings win a super bowl”
Charlie, I’m a vikes fan and that was a VIOLATION. That struck deep.
I'm surprised he didn't say "Did the Lions get into the Super Bowl?" 😂😂😂
..... notice I didn't say WIN
Tbf, I always thought the Patriots just sweep everything. Though maybe that's just because of my football ignorance.
Oh Lord, please bless me with a sweet Midwestern man.
Emily-Me too!
The Lord only seemed to bless me with the selfish ones even though I'm from Minnesota. :/
Hanging out with the wrong ones! There's some bad ones here in MN too...
They appear to all be taken sadly.
well idk where you live but there a whole lot of em out in, well, the midwest
I was chillin on the Davenport while watching this.
LOL...I forgot about the "Davenport" right along with the "pressure cooker"
Did you take the plastic off? 🤔
😂
Haven't heard davenport in years. Used to sit on one too. Used to have an ottoman and divan too ( from Turkish style big in '20s. Stayed in our time warp home from 1918 to 70's.
...and Oma would call me in to wash up the dishes in the zinc (S Dakota).
Charlie! When we gonna see ya doing drills with the Packers der guy? Let’s see what the ol cannons got!
Too bad he trew out da ankle, he'da made da pros aye!
I'm a Vikings fan and I still burst out laughing when Charlie alluded to the Vikings winning the Super Bowl as the end times. Keep er movin
Love the Fleet Farm Hoodie haha
It's Farm and Fleet or get back in the truck!
JK But we would go there when we went to visit my aunt and uncle in central Illinois when I was a kid.
@@bradlemmond Fleet Farm’s better ;)
Yessir
@@melindafield6880 wrong, farm and fleet or bust
@@bradlemmond I was gonna say, the Farm and Fleet has all the good stuff
When we moved to Arizona 13 years ago, I was blown away by the differences here. No friendly neighborhood greeting committee with banana bread or a casserole when you move house (no greeting at all, in fact!). No one waves. Some people get MAD if you hold the door for them... But, I've finally found a good spot: out in the country/desert and have super friendly neighbors! Took 13 lonnnnnng years!!!!
"Ass over teakettle" is a new one for me 😂
I would recommend immediately incorporating it into your daily convos
Been a family staple for my whole life.
I say this all the time..probably because I do this too often..ice near the end of the driveway is treacherous!
Have you heard "tea cup over tea kettle"? That's the original nice version.
@@suzaynnschick158 for the refined sensibilities for sure. That I have heard back when I was a girl growing up in MN. I couldn't recall it as I KNEW Charlie's version wasn't quite what I'd experienced.
Thanks for sharing it.
THE DELIVERY TO THE LAKE! We used to deliver pizzas to the ice fisherman all the time 🤣
The Otter Tail Power Company installed poles in the ice on Lake Bemidji and delivered power to all the ice houses.
I love Charlie Berens! What a National Midwest Treasure!
Charlie doesn’t seem to be acting that much. I get the sense he might actually be this nice.
Holy cow the shoveling other people’s walks is soooo true. Do other people not do that? It’s normal for me
Not in the city! lol
@Hidden Aspects Then are you definitely going out of your way to be super nice to your neighbors, because it is definitely not common for city folks, lol
In Pennsylvania they'll call the cops on you for it. Not even kidding. Found that one out the hard way.
Not in the northeast lol. Wisconsin? Definitely.
@@OldSaltyBear Surely not Pittsburgh? 😮
(Although Pittsburgh isn’t what it used to be 😢)
Love when he says “you silly goose” 😂
Same, that always kills me. 😂
From the Midwest, now in the South. This last snowfall my husband was in full gear joyfully shoveling the sidewalks. Our neighbors tried to walk in the street to avoid the clean sidewalk until we said “Oh please! This is so you don’t have to walk through the snow.” They were so confused.😂
I know I lived in Atlanta for a bit, I was the only one driving around our neighborhood at times! Giving people rides! 😁😁😁😁
That “blood” was hilarious 😂🇨🇦
My father liked to use the phrase “ass over tea kettle“. I’m waiting to hear “side by each” meaning next to each other.
My mom said “side by together”, but she was from TX.
For anyone wondering if this is accurate, sent this to my mom and all she had to say was “he seems like a normal nice man”
Also snow blowing your neighbors driveway is another way to justify buying a snowblower.(yes I have a snowblower)
That was my late husband! He snowblowed all the neighbors' sidewalks up and down the block and even down the next block.
Michigander here, I just ordered a snowblower the other day and all I could think about is how easy its gonna be to clear my neighbors sidewalks.
Same with a pressure washer
You didn't say "ladies first" holding the door open. Starting to doubt your Midwest creds there Charlie...
defiantly only use that when being with the boys, don't want to be sexists and all that, dontcha know?
@@cheeseninja1115 Nah, gentlemen still exist in the midwest, and we say "ladies first" to females. Chivalry is not dead.
Nowadays she'll kick ya in the nads and spit in yer face as she storms past you without saying thanks.
@@frankdillingsly3580 i wouldn't!
@@gw4451 Bless your heart. I still hold the door anyway
I'm from Colorado, went to UW, and now live in Oklahoma. So, I now say ope and y'all. Sometimes in the same sentence. I'm very confused.
Your confused, how about the people your talking to!
I am a lifer WI-ite ( excepting 2 ish yrs in IL , I'm embarrassed to say ) yet I have adopted saying Y'all. It's just easier so often.
the only way to squeeze right by a group of people is with a polite "ope sorry let me squeeze right by yall"
Charlie, I just shared this with a good buddy of mine. Oh, m'gosh...I described to him how you're a "loveable everyman." I mean, you just nail it on all levels. Just wanted to send a note of encouragement, for you're doing some really great stuff we can all relate to. God bless you, Charlie. :)
It’s funny how the lions are so irrelevant that he doesn’t even consider the end times being when the lions win a super bowl.
What are “the lions”? 😁
well that'll only happen when hell freezes over, so its bound to happen because that happens every year in MI!
That's because the Vikings has four bits at that apple.
@@cheeseninja1115 "I understood that reference."-Steve Rogers
(As would Thor, since I believe one of the Nordic countries also has a place called Hel/Hell.)
Actually it's why Barry Sanders retired early.
When he said he’d get a beer for the Mormon missionary I laughed so hard! Next thing you know he’ll be offering coffee to him...or tea!
Pretty sure mormons can have caffeine now actually. They basically have some weird arbitrary magisterium that will change on a whim like how they flopped on the idea that black people are cursed with the Mark of Cain.
@@rushthezeppelin they can have caffeine but coffee and tea are still a no
@@lisabradley7668 Because that makes perfect sense >
@@rushthezeppelin i never said it made sense that just how it is
It was a jehovahs witness, I think.
Oh the holding the door open one is so so true
I live in the Midwest and my neighbors and I are currently caught up in a battle to shovel one another's snow. Sometimes niceness is just nice, but sometimes it's a competition!
Charlie gives the word Wholesome a new meaning.
I have lived all over the country and always return home to Wisconsin.
Lots of Laughs Out Loud! Hey, Charlie - my house needs to be scraped and painted, my yard could use some landscaping, and my trees needs to be trimmed...
Phil reminds me a lot of Charlies real dad. Great straight man.
I think it is Charlie's dad.
Gosh! As a southerner this is true, especially holding the door open for people ☺️
Funny story... while back I moved from Ohio to Northwest Pennsylvania. Just 100 miles or so. Figured its not that far, how weird could it be? Well...
First winter I found out real quick they sure get a lot of snow there... so when the first storm came through, I fired up old Betsy Lou (my MTD Gold 36" with the heated handles) and cleared my drive and walk, all the neighbors drives and walks and Ms. Debbie's caddy corner to the intersection cause it appeared she didn't own a shovel. Anyways... you'd think I bought them all a lifetime membership to beer of the month club. They offered me all sorts of stuff from money to food and gas for Betsy Lou etc.. I tried telling them it was no big and its how I get my exercise in the winter... but they kept going on about it. Ms. Deb even invited me in for a "warm up". Not sure what that is, but I had supper waiting so I respectfully declined. Anywhose..
Later in the spring there was a tiny tree on the property line that got severely damaged by one of the storms. Now it was clearly on the neighbors side, so I left it sit for a minute to see if they were going to clean it up. After a couple weeks I decided me and the boy would take care of it. We were cleaning up our yard, so... mizal. While we were at it, the neighbor came out of the house red faced and said he wanted the wood for his fire pit, so we cut it in to rounds and stacked it up nice next to the stump. Thats where it sat for the next four years I lived there.
Was like living in another country.
Sirloin of the stream lol
Hey!! The Vikings winning a Super Bowl is NOT the end of......
Pass the beer nuts.🥺
My buddies dad was in all 4 Super Bowls for the Vikes. He was proud to say he helped them lose them all.👍 Fred Cox if you care.
Freddie Cox!!!
@@XtreamBrands Always open for a beer and Vikes talk!
As a Canadian, i agree on the walleye!!
This series can (and should) go on indefinitely. Any set worth it's salt should come with at least 2 10mmm.
"Did the vikings win the super bowl"
That had me in stitches man! 😂
Ass over tea kettle, get all kitty wampus! 🤓🍻
I'm from Fond du Lac, had to move to SD for work. You make me homesick man.
Loved the whole series, can’t wait for another !
I live in Nevada. Grew up in So Cal. This videos are funny and heartwarming at the same time. It's really hard to believe that there are places where people are so nice it's funny.
How about a 4 way stop that takes forever cuz no one wants to be the first to go?
I think hes done that bit, or one similar in just letting everyone else go.
@@CuriousDiscourse excellent
My husband invited Mormons in for coffee....twice. I think he scared them the second time though 🤷🏻♀️
When my husband worked third shift, he was awakened from his daytime sleep by two ladies from a local church knocking at the door. He answered the door, and it turned out that they said they were taking a survey. Their question was, what was his religious affiliation. He very politely told them that he was a pagan. (That was a fib. He's not.) It was also the end of the conversation, but he was polite even though they had disturbed his sleep.)
Mormons aren't even supposed to drink coffee lol
The number of times I call a person a "silly goose" instead of an idiot (I gotta be nice at work) is astronomical.
I think I've used the word "silly" instead of calling someone stupid just to be nice, but never ever added "goose" after it, lol
I call my cat "ya silly bastard" all the time and it's started to rub off when I'm talking to humans, lol.
These Midwest folks seem so kind. Even having spent most of my life in the Philadelphia suburbs (with a small taste of a Midwest vibe during my college years in Pittsburgh PA), I still can’t get over how downright rude and heartless many an Eastcoaster can be. Tomorrow I venture to NYC for work for the day and am already bracing myself 😣…and that is the land from whence my father’s family came!
I’m originally a midwesterner and I live in NYC. As a NYer, I feel we get a bad rap; we won’t go out of our way to get involved or bother you, but if something is really going down, we will be there to help. Honestly, given the population density, I think it comes down to needing to protect a sense of privacy. There’s not as much space to live your life without fear of judgement unless everyone here just lets everyone else exist. You leave people to do their thing, don’t interfere, and focus on your own stuff, and hopefully they treat you the same way. In the Midwest you might see 1 or 2 people a day who want directions or something, so it’s easy to give. In NYC, if you give time or directions to everyone who requests something from you, it’s a full time job and you’re probably going to be spending all your money before you can take care of your own needs. In actual emergencies NYers pull together though.
I for sure say "keep er moving" way more than I need too. Anodder group that has their own language is those yoopers. if you want you should slide north a bit. Well, I actually could swing by Manitowoc on my way this weekend, up in Canada now, its basically on the way. just grab your swampers an' choppers, tonsa snow.
"I need to tell you, the end times are near."
"What? Did the Vikings win the Super Bowl?"
I can't stop laughing!!!
You blended in to the bird feeder 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It warmed my heart and soul so much to hear someone say Pop, and not have anyone jump to correct it to “soda”
It IS soda in WI though.
Difference between wi and mn with shoveling
MN- they do that when they think youre being lazy
WI- genuine kindness
Hey now
"Watch for deer" "Watch for deer" it's a true love story...
Sorry I'm late to the show, was watching deisel brothers tear down a house with pick up trucks. Pretty awesome...
All three of these you forgot "Stay warm!" My favorite Midwest phrase.
How dare you call me out like this???
-signed, a Minnesotan
Lol I always tell people to watch out for deer.
He seems like such a nice guy! Time to move to the Midwest!
2:25 managed to bring back the saga of the borrowed tools love that.
“The end times are near.”
“Did the Vikings win the Super Bowl?” 😂😂😂
As a southerner, I feel like Midwesterners are brothers from another mother. :)
Oh my gosh! Another midwest nice, jeeze louise its gonna be a good week 👍
Your channel has showed me that Minnesota and my home of New Brunswick, Canada are kindred places and it's friggin scary man. In a good way!!
He’s from Wisconsin.
Love us midwesterners. Was that your dad sayin you're trespassing?? Lolol.
😂😂😂
there's so much truth in this video. I sure miss Minnesota some times.
Dude. You kill me. Love it, keep doing it.
you bet! More to come
@@CharlieBerens You’re awesome Charlie!!!
The sirloin of the stream....amazing!
Mormon: "I must tell you, the end times are near"
Charlie: "Oh no, did the Vikings win the Super Bowl?!"
Me: going back and forth between laughing and crying....
I think it was a Jehovah's Witness. Mormon missionaries don't typically talk about the end times, in my experience.
As someone from rural Wisconsin, I can confirm that "watch out for deer" is basically how we say goodbye.
Sour Power Jolly Good is my favorite!
fantastic for old fashioneds
As a nurse you see that kinda patient all the time.
when you lived in the midwest... then move to any other part of the US.... boy you really miss the midwest niceness! I can't tell you how annoying it is for people not to smile at you whatsoever... let alone a "Hi how are you?" sheesh!! did your mom raise you like that?
Ah, this makes me miss the Midwest a bit. I love where I live in Maine, but they're definitely a different breed out here.
Eyup
I wish Charlie would show up at my door.. wouldn't let him leave LOL.. 😍
Keep jerky at the ready.
These are soothing for my midwestern soul
Also, that Fleet Farm sweatshirt is on-point.
Moved from TX to PA/NJ and then to Illinois and as soon as I saw the red solo cup and the salt I had flashbacks to this winter where I decided to salt our neighbors drive cause "I had the time" lol
I like how the doorbell camera says "ding" that's attention to detail
How dare they?! At the end when they realized that they missed their meeting, I didn't hear a SINGLE "tell yer folks I says 'hi'".
That's how it is here in Kenosha. 😂
I freaking love kindness. I love this video.
Ouch, Not feeling the love. . "end times are near", "what, did the Vikings win a super bowl?". . . . . . . LOL. . . (but crying inside). . .F da Bears. . LOL
Yeap, so true. My stepfather invited some missionaries in years ago and talked their ears off for like 2 hours. He really has a huge background of studying various holy books and loved to challenge their thoughts on various stuff while offering them drinks and lunch, being very nice and all the whole time. Pretty sure we got blacklisted from them cause they never came back.
My version of midwest nice: I can't help that old man shoveling in a wheelchair because I might take away his strive for purpose and desire for something to do.
Ah, that was YOU! Now I know.😖👍
I know how that feels I live in Nebraska everybody that way even me
