Dry county arkansas here too. Crawford county, separated from sebastian by the Arkansas River. "Goin over the river" means going to buy alcohol. Except on Sundays of course.
The river joke made me laugh since I grew up by the Savannah river. You could have also said, “You can see a gator poking its head out of the water right there. Plus, my cousin is missing a toe from when he went in there and a snapping turtle decided it wanted a snack.”
@@roncarpenter7240 this never happened to any of my cousins. I just thought it would be a funny addition, because you know something like that has happened to someone.
“….and I would know because I’m the civics teacher, history teacher, and a coach.” It’s always the social studies teachers 😂 Although, my Spanish teacher was a short angry ginger who doubled as the wrestling and track & field coach. Loved his classes.
The girls coach (don't recall what sport) was our geometry teacher and one of the football coaches was our algebra teacher. Funny enough, I had the algebra teacher in college too when he left the high school for the college next door along with one of my classmates from that same algebra class in high school in our college class.
Most of our coaches were teachers. The ladies track coach was the principal and athletic director. The typing teacher was the assistant athletic director. The football and softball coach was a math teacher. The men's track coach taught art and government. The baseball coach and golf coach was the gym teacher and driver's education instructor. The theater director (also basketball coach early in his career) was the history teacher and ran his own hardware store. The JV volleyball coach was a math teacher. The varsity volleyball coach and ladies basketball coach taught high school business and Jr high math. The Jr high track, and JV girls basketball coach taught social studies. The band teacher was a basketball coach. You could look out the windows and see cornfield or forrest. No I wasn't raised in the south.
The line about the Baptists and dancing is SPOT ON!!! I'm a Methodist and I grew up going to church next door to a Baptist Church. We built a new fellowship hall in the early 90s, and the Baptists built a new fellowship hall a few years later, but even then in the late 90s the Baptists would having weddings at their church and then come over to our church for their reception because we allowed dancing in our fellowship hall. True story!!!
Even up north here in Western New York, I got married in my Baptist Church and had the reception at the Methodist Church because I wanted dancing, and my girlfriend's dad had a band where he was the piano player. ALSO because I didn't want alcoholic drinks for there were alcoholics on both sides of the family!
How do you tell the difference between a Southern Baptist & a Methodist? The Methodist will wave & say hello when you run into them at the liquor store. Learned that living 10 years in NC.
@@paitrynpait9664 That's because Baptists are the most diverse set of denominations. My paternal grandmas church didn't allow instruments or dancing. I've been to some that are very quiet and calm, and spent several years in one that involved jumping around and dancing as the preacher and his brother played acoustic guitar and banjo and we gave hugs and handshakes as a morning greeting. And then there are the Calvanist vs Anti-Calvanist divides.
@@Liethen I think the whole thing is intended as differences between services. The Pentecostals (ie Church of God folks) would have no problem with dancing during the service where it would not happen under most any Baptist service. Furthermore, and this is just my opinion as I don't have surveys or anything to back it up, I don't think MOST Baptists have problems with dancing in general (although certainly some do). ... Unless were talking bump & grind kinda dancing then the pendulum likely swings the other way, lol.
My wife from the Bay Area is 13 years in the South (TN/KY), and she's just starting to develop an accent. I still say that the majority of Northern California is surprisingly like North Carolina reversed east to west once you exclude the coast: in the valley up through the foothills and mountains.
@@EvanEdwards I don't think you realize how accurate of a statement that is. What 2 states have the most diverse landscape, cali and nc. What 2 states have the most diverse types of wildlife, cali and nc. What 2 states have the most diverse types of people, yep. There's even Hollywood and Hollywood east too.
I’m from the technical south and yeah, we got blue laws here too. It’s very, VERY stupid holdover from prohibition yet no one wants to run on the platform of encouraging alcoholism.
I’m also from Mississippi and love these and the “Bless Your Rank” Matt does. I’m so glad to have come across good and funny representations of southern life. 😂
I'm just going to guess that Matt recorded this outdoors recently, during the "cold" weather months when it's finally comfortable temperatures outside 😂
No need for the quotation marks. We got single digit temperatures here, so it was like the midwest getting triple digits to us. No one knew what to do.
@@zchris87v80 That is the month of November in South Carolina. 100 to 30, then back to 90. If you aren't ready to put your sandels on to freeze-proof your pipes, you aren't ready to live in South Carolina.
That you called out the softball team being the actually GOOD TEAM, it sent me. Neither the HS or college I went to had a football team worth a damn, even though that's what the schools dumped all the stupid money into.
haha. I swear, high school you either had a damn good softball team, or a softball team that rivaled the football team is how garbage they are (like my high school). Also, you can expect half of the softball team to be lesbian...
On god! My HS had a dog shit football team but that’s all the school put the money towards. Meanwhile our softball team won nationals all four years I was there.
My HS, it was the marching band. And while we were definitely good, we also had the added benefit of being the largest by far in the state, meaning that we could out-compete everyone by the fact that we had 200 folks while everyone else had 50-100.
I live in the Midwest and can sympathize with the Movie vs Reality take on skinny dipping. I think swimming in our local river might result in sickness or super powers.
Thanks for posting. Have you ever noticed that in any movie set in the south the courtrooms are always portrayed as unbearably hot? Everyone in the room is fanning themselves under what are apparently the world’s slowest turning ceiling fans. As a proud resident of a Gulf coast state, I’ve been called for jury duty multiple times, all in the summer months, and I can assure you the courthouse was as cold as a meat locker each time. Several of the bailiffs were wearing their winter jackets inside.
That's today. I remember sitting in church with great granny waving those little paper fans on a stick from Thompson's Funeral Home with the unscreened windows open in summer. And the creek just beyond the graveyard was where baptism took place. I was glad we lived in town with an ac and baptismal pool at the big city church. Lol!
OMG, I connected with the weather one. I have lived in the Deep South my entire life when one day my job sent me to Virginia for a conference... in AUGUST. Holy crap, I went home and packed my bags and moved to Virginia. I had no idea that 1) foliage can remain green during the summer months, 2) it could RAIN during the summer months, and 3) it was possible for the humidity level to be less than 100%. That was over 10 years ago and I still wake up EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. and thank my lucky stars I live somewhere cooler than Hades.
Especially if you do the Appalachian region in VA, definitely more forgiving in the summer than say Ocala, Birmingham or Baton Rouge. Don't know how it's legal to build a city in a place with heat like that 😂 Love me some Good ol' Virginia!
I was born and raised in the New Orleans area where you can buy alcohol at any time on any day so you can imagine the look on my face years ago when I was in Georgia and was buying a 6 pack at 10 in the morning on a Sunday and the clerk told me I couldn't buy it till 12 noon. I was like wtf.....lol
Central AL here....transplant from Chicago.....at Publix several weeks ago and I tried to buy a 4 pack of mini margaritas for my 93 yr old mother. Nope, not until AFTER noon. In the Chicago area you can buy any kind of liquor at any time day or night on any day you want...as long as you can pay for it of course!
Yeah in Pennsylvania if you forgot to buy on Saturday you have to wait until Monday, really annoying. Only applies to liquor stores, though, beer stores can stay open on Sunday if they want and places that sell alcohol (grocery stores, gas stations) as a side thing can still sell it.
Loved that you wore a UAB hat and shirt while taking about football ---- make sure not to piss off UA or Auburn fans. As a northern transplant to AL, it freaked me out when the coach was my kid's gym teacher, sub teacher, and her sub bus driver the same day --- I thought my 5 year old was making stuff up, but it was true! 'Coach' is a very important title here in the south. Also, no one in the north gets use to the cold too --- rather sweat in the summer than freeze for 6-8 months a year.
@@alostrich After about 10 years, my football coach joined the FBI because he needed a less stressful lifestyle. His heart was still in football though and he would come back to visit, along with a dinner in his honor, and anybody that could, would be there to see Coach.
The most well read World Literature teacher I ever had: - Could go line by line through Dante's Inferno and explain the reasons why the author put each historical figure into each specific level of heck - Had a dictionary that could be used to anchor a boat - Was one of the football coaches Edit: after years of being out of school, I forgot they taught World lit, not English
The high school football coach when I was there (mid 90s) was also the in-school suspension ‘teacher’ lol. He was great. He let me and my friends do whatever we wanted, including picking up our bags and just walking out of the school because we didn’t wanna be there🤷🏼♀️😅. Every time I asked for the hall pass to use the bathroom and he saw I had my backpack with me, he’d ask if he would be getting his hall pass back. He appreciated my honesty when telling him no so he kindly said ‘just go, but please let me keep my pass because I feel like an idiot every time I ask the ladies in the office to make me a new one’ 😂.
Fun fact: there IS a First Christian Church in Beaumont (TX), and at the time of the movie Footloose, it DID have a pastor named Moore. He was much more easygoing than the character on the screen and, as far as I could ever tell, never said a word against dancing. As for the town itself (nb not spelt the same), there was plenty ofdancing once upon a time (e.g. Cooter's).
I currently live neat Beaumont, Tx and died laughing when you mentioned it. In the 1980s I lived in Mesquite, Tx - that town could have been the model for the town in the movie Footloose: no alcohol sales, no dancing. We had to hold our high school prom in Dallas. They also stopped cruising on the main drag on Fridays. Nothing bad, just all of the teens driving around and visiting since there was nothing else to do - and they wondered why the teens were so rebellious and couldn't wait to move away.
I’ll never forget the day me, my ex-boyfriend and our mutual friend were riding around hanging out when we stopped by the river. My ex dared our friend to run and jump in off the ledge. He took off running, jumped and in mid air a water moccasin’s head popped up out of the water and he landed right on it! 😂 😂 Good times.
@@punkrockpearl84 Las time I got in a pool, there was a snek in it. It was just a black racewr snek. The cold blooded thing got too hot in the Alabama heat, it needed a dip to cool off. Sneks like to bask in the sun, not on the sun.
@@Lenzid82 it ain’t much better in Arkansas. My family had strict rules about what kind of water to swim in or not based on the risk of finding snakes in the water. Swift rivers and large lakes? Yes. Slow rivers, small creeks or ponds? Fuck that shit.
Any self-respecting Alabamian has a source for beer on Sunday, dry county or not. Everyone knows that Cletus keeps a deep freeze full of Bud Lights in the shed out back behind his trailer for Sundays and those not yet 21 years of age. And yes, that is Cletus, the sheriff's cousin.
Before they allowed store sales on Sunday, we had to go to a "private club" (the kind with no tip on the end of the pool sticks), pay the $1 "membership fee", and spend 2 minutes buying a handful of tallboy PBRs but still walk out smelling like an ash tray.
Don't forget the part where we're always dripping with sweat even when indoors. (Seriously, I want the sweat effects budget from every John grisham movie)
I do that whenever I dance around in the house for more than 3 songs (which is usually somewhere between 10-20 minutes), though that also happened trying to play video games in my room while the heat in my house was 80+
It cracks me up when they film a "southern" movie and I'm looking at the terrain thinking, "I don't know where the heck you are, but that is not in the south.🙄" 😆
@@gidget8717 so much gets shot in Georgia now I die laughing when it tries to pass for Kansas or Nebraska. Too many mountains and trees and hills. Lol. Or how I saw copies of my old cheerleader outfit as a Halloween costume because kids think its Hawkins High on Stranger Things when it's actually that ugly ole green and orange from Stockbridge. very surreal. Georgia as Indiana, or NJ on Ms. Marvel and much more is fun. How they love to film in that old rock quarry that has a lake at the bottom. Anyhow, you'd think they'd do better accents being in the setting but they don't quite pay attention to the details much. .
That fake accent is perfect. And all of this is true. Been in Michigan 5 years still laughing at all the people asking why i dont sound like they do on Steel Magnolias.
We moved to California when I was a kid and people would ask why I didn't sound like Forrest Gump and the first thing I'd tell them is their public school system will force my butt to take speech classes on their tax money but doesn't care if other kids even speak fluent English ... I don't know if I'd call it backwards, but California defiantly has its priorities all jacked up because I'm from South Georgia my accent wasn't very thick to begin with
The best way to describe the heat in the south is to tell someone to take a hot ass shower and then put their clothes on without drying off. Pretty much a spot on representation of how hot as hell it is down here.
@@Kainis80 And then have the Texan show up and be like "wdym it's fine here" after surviving 3 tornadoes, a derecho, a hurricane, a wildfire and a southern couple flash floods followed by a week of the heat index being 109
Love it and so true, though you should add to the hot weather one where the actors are always slicked up with baby oil to glow, like southerners always ‘glisten’, when, in fact, we are sallow, damp and have T-shirt sweat stains that basically connect to form large maps of the world across our torsos. :D
My Uber driver in Alabama talked a lot about Alabama Softball. If we weren't talking about Roll Tide football, we were talking about Roll Tide softball.
I’m Canadian, have no clue to what “southern” life is really like besides what you see on stereotypical movies/shows…so this channel was a great find! Thanks for the laughs! Lol
Way to represent UAB in the football sketch! :) I loathe the way the South is presented in movies (even by actors who know better). That made this video even funnier. Well done, sir!
My husband and his cousin were trying to fish in a lake, got scared off by Water Moccasins and Cotton Mouth snakes. It was a race to see who could out run who, lol. I mean the guys, not the snakes, the snakes were busy.
I remember my dad and a bunch of us went fishing in a beaver pond not far from our home one evening. We were still fishing as it got dark but stopped when someone shined a flashlight over the water and we saw a bunch of snakes moving in our direction. LOL. I went walking down the road to that pond a few days later and there must have 20 different snakes on and near the logging road just soaking up the sun. Needless to say my walk was done.
I was water-skiing as a teenager and got too close to shore. To my horror I saw a swirling mass of snakes right in front of me. Had to ski right over them while praying I wouldn't fall. Will never forget this
I was smoking a blunt out in a swamp park where people take their boats to go out into the freshwater. Out of nowhere, 2 people roll up and start making some clicking and calling of pets noises. All of a sudden like 3 gators crawled out of the water and they started feeding the gators marshmallows. One of the weirdest things I have seen in regards to humans overlapping with nature. Also, very illegal and irresponsible. I assume they were fattening up the gators and every other week they show up and catch one to eat.
The moccasins and cottonmouths are a whole different terror if you have never seen them racing across the water, popping their heads up like a periscope, and my personal least favorite just dropping out the dang trees!
Spot on. I'm so happy that my city removed Blue Laws a few years ago. We can buy beer on Sundays now but only after church (after 1:00). 🤣 We had to remind them that holy days differ depending on which religion. Friday for Muslims, Saturday for Jews and Sunday for Christians. That's the whole weekend.
I just realized liquor stores are closed on Monday if a holiday (Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s) falls on a Sunday. I wasn’t the only one unaware, as I saw many people with their noses pressed against the glass door to make sure they weren’t being burgled!!
It's Sunday, we're just out of luck. Ha, had me rolling. My town finally legalized sales after noon, got to let them church ladies get home before the streets are filled with dead bodies!
The whole softball bit was 101% accurate. And I remember when you couldn't buy any liquor anywhere in the state on Sundays and then it began to be a town by town or parish by parish matter. You couldn't buy it at ALL in the town I lived in before I moved small ass town Mardi Gras Central so the bar right past the town limits was batshit crazy.
I lived in SC for 10 years, built up a tolerance for the heat/humidity, and then moved to TN 6 years ago. Now when I go visit my parents in FL or go back to SC, I no longer have the tolerance T__T
Me, walks outside in the summer: Why's it so frickin hot?! Husband: You think you'd get used to it eventually! Me: You'd think! (both native to the south, and we still have this exchange every year)
You forgot to do the one where the Southern accent drops the character's IQ by 100 points or turns them into a country yokel even if they are from an urban area. Its funny that even after all the internal migration from the Rust Belt and the Northeast to the South, Hollywood still clings to that old stereotypical view of the South. I think the old South died some time in the '80s. I'm a first gen Southerner myself(got the double whammy of having West Virginian parents and being a Southerner).
@@amandachilds5290 I grew up in the 70's and 80's on a mountain in rural Alabama. It was a non-spoken thing that black people were not on the mountain after dark. I was raised better than that but not everyone felt that way. Now, my next door neighbors are both black, the ones behind me and to the right side of me. A Mexican family lives across the road. I have multiracial great nephews and a great niece(my niece married a black man). The area is still mostly white but the racial divide is mostly gone, at least on the surface. I am sure some token resistance still exists. I still see plenty of Confederate flags flying in spots, all across the mountain.
@@mintz9782 Oh I don't know about that. Blue Laws and Sunday closings were an irritation to me growing up so I liked those changes. Plus in addition to our local BBQ, fried chicken, sweet tea and grits(among other foods)we got better pizza, hot dogs, cheesecake, clam chowder, Vietnamese cuisine, and more Mexican dishes(plus stuff I can't remember ATM.)
@@bamachine yeah the racial thing is not what I was talking about. It was the accent thing and transplants from up north, out west and maybe foreign. For obvious reasons there have always been people of African descent and Hispanic as well as indigenous descent in the South. Florida was Spanish colonized as well as Texas. But they still had southern accents for the most part. Heck I grew up with people who escaped Vietnam, Korea and Cambodia in the 70s and their children were first generation Americans but sounded exactly like us in accents though they also spoke their native languages and parents weren't always fluent. But yes I am glad people feel safe to live all over and even the "hillbillies" or "rednecks" I know who have a Confederate flag flying about are in mixed families and don't even see it as racial at all. One is part of Cherokee nation moved from Oklahoma and her in laws are black. I know they know people think it means they are racist but they say no and won't take it down and it's their life. I know it exists and is out there and can be covert or sneaky but for the most part it's just magnified by the media or politicians with an agenda.
So identified with the beer on Sunday laws. I have spent the greater part of my life stocking up on Saturday so that we had beer to last us thru Sunday. Also in those dry counties I have bought plenty of "memberships" to clubs so that we could drink without leaving the county.
As someone who has taught Geography, World History, US History, Government, and Economics while also coaching football, basketball, powerlifting and track, all in the same school year, I concur. Oh I also ran the FCA and the concessions stands at baseball games.
Haha! It's crazy that the no alcohol on Sunday thing is still a thing. I moved out west for a few years and got used to buying it whenever. Came back to the south and threw a six pack up on the counter at Walmart and was told I couldn't buy. I was like what the hell do you mean, I'm over 21, and then it dawned on me that I was back in rural Alabama. 🤣
The "she's the shhot and ask questiobs later" kind of person is priceless! The heat, the beer, and the foitball/sortball is so True Y'all. Thanks Matt!
LOL! My sister lives in California and plays parts as a Southerner in movies. Her accent is ridiculous in some of them. The worst part, she was born and raised in N W Georgia.
Oh, when it got to the temp/humidity segment, I started _laughing,_ knowing exactly what Matt would do for the "real" segment. And of course, spot-on as always.
I'm from New York and married into Kentucky. I was fascinated by the fact that they sell alcohol until 4am in drive thrus but not until 1 on Sundays. Like I've been here five years and im still always shocked to see liquor at the Target 😂
Liquor or just wine and beer. I grew up in texas. There and the other parts of the south I've been to sell wine and beer in the grocery store. Now that I live up north (NJ) around here most big places just have a separate but attached full Liquors store. It's weird not being able to buy a bottle of wine while grocery shopping.
@kynn23 it's mostly a New Jersey thing, even the neighboring states aren't as stubbornly insistent that all alcohol must be sold in dedicated liquor stores. Pennsylvania sells beer at pizza places
@@kynn23 I live in NC, where one can only buy liquor from the ABC store. On my travels throughout the country, I found myself in a Walmart in Nebraska. As I walked down one aisle, I saw all the Cokes (and yes, that includes Pepsi, Mtn Dew, Dr. Pepper and, of course, Co-cola) on one side and liquor on the other.
@@TheAchilles26 I lived in PA until 97 and we had state liquor stores then. They closed at 9pm. So if i got out of work late but NEEDED alcohol, I had to drive to Maryland for it. Not sure what it is like now.
I like your comedy enough to watch the commercials on your videos. I think I recognized Tom Hanks Lady Killers voice in this one…you really channeled that role for this one, but you’re not wrong!! Plus, Jerry Wayne was my dad’s name, so this works for me on every level. I love it. So funny and so accurate on your characterization of the South. I wouldn’t live anywhere else!
I could listen to Matt do his heavily exaggerated accent forever. It's so good and wonderfully hilarious. And tbh as a Canadian, what I thought real southern accents were supposed to be like. Oh well! 😫😢
2:19 This is so true lmao. I've lived in the South for the majority of my life and I'm still not used to this damn heat 💀💀Every summer is the exact same unbearable humidity
I’m with you on the heat. For me Summertime in Georgia is absolutely brutal. Had no A/C in my car one summer. Black car. Leather seats. It was torture.
I turn into a different type of person in summer. I don’t have much need to go many places but in summer- I go next to NO where. I cannot tolerate the heat or humidity. I beg to move somewhere cool that time of year! Maybe we can airBnB our place? 😂
It is true that, every summer, we're surprised by the heat. I mean, we know it's coming. We dread it. But all the same, we're going to say "I believe it's hotter this year than it was last year! That news man's outta his mind if he thinks I'm turning my cooling off when the sun goes down!"
"Holy shit, it's hot out here. I've lived here my entire life and you just can't get used to this! How can you get used to this, it's like living in an oven!" Felt that to my core.

Facts. Most of the actors don't even have a southern accent. I watched a movie that was set in Georgia, noone had a southern accent.🤷🏾♀️
@Lee Ann Christy not in the south it ain't. Where you from, Missy? Ohio?
@Lee Ann Christy also, you punctuated "y'all" wrong.
Somebody needs to explain to actors that there are dozens of accents in the South, just like NYC.
"I've lived here my entire life and you can't get used to this". I utter that exact sentence multiple times every summer.
Not originally from the south (I live in South Florida) and felt that personally.

It’s always the social studies teachers 😂
Although, my Spanish teacher was a short angry ginger who doubled as the wrestling and track & field coach. Loved his classes.
It really is! My Gov teacher coached football and my economics teach coached baseball I think.
The girls coach (don't recall what sport) was our geometry teacher and one of the football coaches was our algebra teacher. Funny enough, I had the algebra teacher in college too when he left the high school for the college next door along with one of my classmates from that same algebra class in high school in our college class.
Most of our coaches were teachers. The ladies track coach was the principal and athletic director. The typing teacher was the assistant athletic director. The football and softball coach was a math teacher. The men's track coach taught art and government. The baseball coach and golf coach was the gym teacher and driver's education instructor. The theater director (also basketball coach early in his career) was the history teacher and ran his own hardware store. The JV volleyball coach was a math teacher. The varsity volleyball coach and ladies basketball coach taught high school business and Jr high math. The Jr high track, and JV girls basketball coach taught social studies. The band teacher was a basketball coach.
You could look out the windows and see cornfield or forrest. No I wasn't raised in the south.
My Spanish teacher was a 4"10 90 lb woman, i dont think she would have made a good wrestling coach.🤣
My physics teacher was the girls' lacrosse coach. Though technically that was a club rather than an official school team
The line about the Baptists and dancing is SPOT ON!!! I'm a Methodist and I grew up going to church next door to a Baptist Church. We built a new fellowship hall in the early 90s, and the Baptists built a new fellowship hall a few years later, but even then in the late 90s the Baptists would having weddings at their church and then come over to our church for their reception because we allowed dancing in our fellowship hall. True story!!!
which is weird to me, I grew up Baptist and never had a rule about not dancing.
Even up north here in Western New York, I got married in my Baptist Church and had the reception at the Methodist Church because I wanted dancing, and my girlfriend's dad had a band where he was the piano player. ALSO because I didn't want alcoholic drinks for there were alcoholics on both sides of the family!
How do you tell the difference between a Southern Baptist & a Methodist? The Methodist will wave & say hello when you run into them at the liquor store.
Learned that living 10 years in NC.
@@paitrynpait9664 That's because Baptists are the most diverse set of denominations. My paternal grandmas church didn't allow instruments or dancing. I've been to some that are very quiet and calm, and spent several years in one that involved jumping around and dancing as the preacher and his brother played acoustic guitar and banjo and we gave hugs and handshakes as a morning greeting. And then there are the Calvanist vs Anti-Calvanist divides.
@@Liethen I think the whole thing is intended as differences between services. The Pentecostals (ie Church of God folks) would have no problem with dancing during the service where it would not happen under most any Baptist service. Furthermore, and this is just my opinion as I don't have surveys or anything to back it up, I don't think MOST Baptists have problems with dancing in general (although certainly some do). ... Unless were talking bump & grind kinda dancing then the pendulum likely swings the other way, lol.
Being a Californian who married a Southerner, I can attest that my reenactment of a real Southern accent is as bad as the accent portrayed in movies
My wife from the Bay Area is 13 years in the South (TN/KY), and she's just starting to develop an accent. I still say that the majority of Northern California is surprisingly like North Carolina reversed east to west once you exclude the coast: in the valley up through the foothills and mountains.
Yep- First time I heard Michael Rooker I said - There's a homeboy.
@@EvanEdwards I don't think you realize how accurate of a statement that is. What 2 states have the most diverse landscape, cali and nc. What 2 states have the most diverse types of wildlife, cali and nc. What 2 states have the most diverse types of people, yep. There's even Hollywood and Hollywood east too.
There’s lots of different southern accents. The problem is they mix it up, putting an Appalachian accent in Texas and Dixie in Georgia.
I’m from the technical south and yeah, we got blue laws here too. It’s very, VERY stupid holdover from prohibition yet no one wants to run on the platform of encouraging alcoholism.
It so nice having media about the South that isn't constantly trashing us. As a Mississippian, I love these. Keep up the good work, Matt! 😄
I’m also from Mississippi and love these and the “Bless Your Rank” Matt does. I’m so glad to have come across good and funny representations of southern life. 😂
Well, before COVId Mississippi was number 1 in children vacation
Mississippi doesn’t need help getting picked on. You guys do it pretty well by yourself. Lol
As an Alabamian, I concur!
I too am from Mississippi. I am loving this channel.
I'm just going to guess that Matt recorded this outdoors recently, during the "cold" weather months when it's finally comfortable temperatures outside 😂
That would explain why he wasn’t sweating during the “hot” scene!
Yup... 59 in North Georgia today. Our daffodils are already blooming.
The bugs were singing, so it must be July... or January.
No need for the quotation marks. We got single digit temperatures here, so it was like the midwest getting triple digits to us. No one knew what to do.

That you called out the softball team being the actually GOOD TEAM, it sent me. Neither the HS or college I went to had a football team worth a damn, even though that's what the schools dumped all the stupid money into.
haha. I swear, high school you either had a damn good softball team, or a softball team that rivaled the football team is how garbage they are (like my high school).
Also, you can expect half of the softball team to be lesbian...
On god! My HS had a dog shit football team but that’s all the school put the money towards. Meanwhile our softball team won nationals all four years I was there.
@@howardbaxter2514 the other half is bi
Basketball was most small towns big draw. Much less expensive.
My HS, it was the marching band. And while we were definitely good, we also had the added benefit of being the largest by far in the state, meaning that we could out-compete everyone by the fact that we had 200 folks while everyone else had 50-100.
I live in the Midwest and can sympathize with the Movie vs Reality take on skinny dipping.
I think swimming in our local river might result in sickness or super powers.

To quote a great comedian "WE SWAM IN RAW SEWAGE! AND IT MADE US INVINCIBLE!"
Thanks for posting. Have you ever noticed that in any movie set in the south the courtrooms are always portrayed as unbearably hot? Everyone in the room is fanning themselves under what are apparently the world’s slowest turning ceiling fans. As a proud resident of a Gulf coast state, I’ve been called for jury duty multiple times, all in the summer months, and I can assure you the courthouse was as cold as a meat locker each time. Several of the bailiffs were wearing their winter jackets inside.
Hell yeah! It'll be steaming outside and you get in a court room and it's f*ckin freezin
It is freezing to keep you awake during the trial
“Southern lawyer” has been a stock Hollywood type since To Kill a Mockingbird and Inherit The Wind (see also: JFK.)
That's today. I remember sitting in church with great granny waving those little paper fans on a stick from Thompson's Funeral Home with the unscreened windows open in summer. And the creek just beyond the graveyard was where baptism took place. I was glad we lived in town with an ac and baptismal pool at the big city church. Lol!
I'm told the judge's robe is thick. And guess who has the thermostat.
OMG, I connected with the weather one. I have lived in the Deep South my entire life when one day my job sent me to Virginia for a conference... in AUGUST. Holy crap, I went home and packed my bags and moved to Virginia. I had no idea that 1) foliage can remain green during the summer months, 2) it could RAIN during the summer months, and 3) it was possible for the humidity level to be less than 100%. That was over 10 years ago and I still wake up EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. and thank my lucky stars I live somewhere cooler than Hades.
Amen! God's country for sure!
Summer is when I miss Virginia the most. I moved away to Texas 20 years ago (in the middle of June no less) and I regret it every May 🤣
Being from NH, I would not survive in Virginia either.
Especially if you do the Appalachian region in VA, definitely more forgiving in the summer than say Ocala, Birmingham or Baton Rouge. Don't know how it's legal to build a city in a place with heat like that 😂
Love me some Good ol' Virginia!
Summer of 2022 felt almost tropical for all but 2.5 weeks in late July. I love Virginia weather.
I was born and raised in the New Orleans area where you can buy alcohol at any time on any day so you can imagine the look on my face years ago when I was in Georgia and was buying a 6 pack at 10 in the morning on a Sunday and the clerk told me I couldn't buy it till 12 noon. I was like wtf.....lol
Here in Arkansas you can't buy it till Monday lol.

Central AL here....transplant from Chicago.....at Publix several weeks ago and I tried to buy a 4 pack of mini margaritas for my 93 yr old mother. Nope, not until AFTER noon. In the Chicago area you can buy any kind of liquor at any time day or night on any day you want...as long as you can pay for it of course!
Yeah in Pennsylvania if you forgot to buy on Saturday you have to wait until Monday, really annoying. Only applies to liquor stores, though, beer stores can stay open on Sunday if they want and places that sell alcohol (grocery stores, gas stations) as a side thing can still sell it.
Loved that you wore a UAB hat and shirt while taking about football ---- make sure not to piss off UA or Auburn fans. As a northern transplant to AL, it freaked me out when the coach was my kid's gym teacher, sub teacher, and her sub bus driver the same day --- I thought my 5 year old was making stuff up, but it was true! 'Coach' is a very important title here in the south. Also, no one in the north gets use to the cold too --- rather sweat in the summer than freeze for 6-8 months a year.
And they will be called “Coach” until the day they die.
@@alostrich After about 10 years, my football coach joined the FBI because he needed a less stressful lifestyle. His heart was still in football though and he would come back to visit, along with a dinner in his honor, and anybody that could, would be there to see Coach.

The most well read World Literature teacher I ever had:
- Could go line by line through Dante's Inferno and explain the reasons why the author put each historical figure into each specific level of heck
- Had a dictionary that could be used to anchor a boat
- Was one of the football coaches
Edit: after years of being out of school, I forgot they taught World lit, not English
After being a sweatbox my entire life I'm enjoying cold weather 8 months out of the year😊
The high school football coach when I was there (mid 90s) was also the in-school suspension ‘teacher’ lol. He was great. He let me and my friends do whatever we wanted, including picking up our bags and just walking out of the school because we didn’t wanna be there🤷🏼♀️😅. Every time I asked for the hall pass to use the bathroom and he saw I had my backpack with me, he’d ask if he would be getting his hall pass back. He appreciated my honesty when telling him no so he kindly said ‘just go, but please let me keep my pass because I feel like an idiot every time I ask the ladies in the office to make me a new one’ 😂.
Fun fact: there IS a First Christian Church in Beaumont (TX), and at the time of the movie Footloose, it DID have a pastor named Moore. He was much more easygoing than the character on the screen and, as far as I could ever tell, never said a word against dancing. As for the town itself (nb not spelt the same), there was plenty ofdancing once upon a time (e.g. Cooter's).
Fun facts! Thank you for sharing!
I currently live neat Beaumont, Tx and died laughing when you mentioned it. In the 1980s I lived in Mesquite, Tx - that town could have been the model for the town in the movie Footloose: no alcohol sales, no dancing. We had to hold our high school prom in Dallas. They also stopped cruising on the main drag on Fridays. Nothing bad, just all of the teens driving around and visiting since there was nothing else to do - and they wondered why the teens were so rebellious and couldn't wait to move away.
Ahhh I miss the 80s. Feel sorry for the teens
I’ll never forget the day me, my ex-boyfriend and our mutual friend were riding around hanging out when we stopped by the river. My ex dared our friend to run and jump in off the ledge. He took off running, jumped and in mid air a water moccasin’s head popped up out of the water and he landed right on it! 😂 😂 Good times.
Exactly why I prefer pools. Screw those sneks...
@@punkrockpearl84 Las time I got in a pool, there was a snek in it. It was just a black racewr snek. The cold blooded thing got too hot in the Alabama heat, it needed a dip to cool off. Sneks like to bask in the sun, not on the sun.
I'm in NJ now, but I grew up in TX. People up here wonder why I won't swim in fresh water. That's why!🤣😅
@@RainCheck797 This was around the LA/TX boarder in NW LA. You know what’s up! 😂
@@Lenzid82 it ain’t much better in Arkansas. My family had strict rules about what kind of water to swim in or not based on the risk of finding snakes in the water. Swift rivers and large lakes? Yes. Slow rivers, small creeks or ponds? Fuck that shit.
Any self-respecting Alabamian has a source for beer on Sunday, dry county or not. Everyone knows that Cletus keeps a deep freeze full of Bud Lights in the shed out back behind his trailer for Sundays and those not yet 21 years of age. And yes, that is Cletus, the sheriff's cousin.
🤣
Before they allowed store sales on Sunday, we had to go to a "private club" (the kind with no tip on the end of the pool sticks), pay the $1 "membership fee", and spend 2 minutes buying a handful of tallboy PBRs but still walk out smelling like an ash tray.
That's why you just buy twice as much on Saturday. One reason why payday in the South will always and forever be on Friday.
American Legion? Lol! That was the only place you could get it in the 70's if you went to Georgia Southern until the year I graduated.

Don't forget the part where we're always dripping with sweat even when indoors. (Seriously, I want the sweat effects budget from every John grisham movie)
My God, yes! It's like we have absolutely no air conditioning in any building...at all!
A Time to Kill is just hilarious with the sweat. Every character - inside and outside.
For real! Here in SC, I freeze to death at my office all summer from the AC! 🥶
@@pebblesanddirt My mind went immediately to that movie 🤣. Good movie, but yeah...the constant sweating like nobody had AC.
I do that whenever I dance around in the house for more than 3 songs (which is usually somewhere between 10-20 minutes), though that also happened trying to play video games in my room while the heat in my house was 80+
😂 love this!! I just die laughing when people in the movies try to be southern

@@gidget8717 so much gets shot in Georgia now I die laughing when it tries to pass for Kansas or Nebraska. Too many mountains and trees and hills. Lol. Or how I saw copies of my old cheerleader outfit as a Halloween costume because kids think its Hawkins High on Stranger Things when it's actually that ugly ole green and orange from Stockbridge. very surreal. Georgia as Indiana, or NJ on Ms. Marvel and much more is fun. How they love to film in that old rock quarry that has a lake at the bottom. Anyhow, you'd think they'd do better accents being in the setting but they don't quite pay attention to the details much. .
@@amandachilds5290 isn't that the truth! 🤷♀️ it seems film makers get worse and worse on details!
The worst is when actual actors born in the south "ham it up" in the roles. They go all Foghorn Leghorn.
@@bamachine yes but I blame the directors. That must be what they are told to do. Lol
That fake accent is perfect. And all of this is true. Been in Michigan 5 years still laughing at all the people asking why i dont sound like they do on Steel Magnolias.
We moved to California when I was a kid and people would ask why I didn't sound like Forrest Gump and the first thing I'd tell them is their public school system will force my butt to take speech classes on their tax money but doesn't care if other kids even speak fluent English ... I don't know if I'd call it backwards, but California defiantly has its priorities all jacked up because I'm from South Georgia my accent wasn't very thick to begin with
@@ddcs0s just wow, I cannot even begin to comprehend.
The best way to describe the heat in the south is to tell someone to take a hot ass shower and then put their clothes on without drying off. Pretty much a spot on representation of how hot as hell it is down here.
and then have some westerner talk about how it's technically hotter where they are from. Then have them do the same thing and shut up real quick.
@@Kainis80 And then have the Texan show up and be like "wdym it's fine here" after surviving 3 tornadoes, a derecho, a hurricane, a wildfire and a southern couple flash floods followed by a week of the heat index being 109
Again sir nail on the head. Our football coach was the Calculus and History teacher! Keep 'em coming love your videos. Oh yeah, Roll Tide!
And geography teacher!
And don’t forget driver’s ed
Ours was the calculus teacher and the Dean of Discipline. The whole school knew if you got in trouble! He was an awesome guy though!
Creative writing teacher at my high school
Love it and so true, though you should add to the hot weather one where the actors are always slicked up with baby oil to glow, like southerners always ‘glisten’, when, in fact, we are sallow, damp and have T-shirt sweat stains that basically connect to form large maps of the world across our torsos. :D
Que laying on the couch, too hot to move, just goin "it's hot as fuuuuuuc-"
Wonderful acting skills, Matt. Love the varied voices for the characters.
Some states now allow alcohol sales on Sundays, but only after 12 or 12:30 PM, and only certain types.
This man speaking facts!
My Uber driver in Alabama talked a lot about Alabama Softball. If we weren't talking about Roll Tide football, we were talking about Roll Tide softball.
every bit of this is so true. living in SC, this felt like going down to the Flock Shop... which IS a bar with a playground out back.
Why was the women’s softball reference so true?😂😂😂
I’m Canadian, have no clue to what “southern” life is really like besides what you see on stereotypical movies/shows…so this channel was a great find! Thanks for the laughs! Lol
OK you got me with the brewery and fruity IPA.
Way to represent UAB in the football sketch! :)
I loathe the way the South is presented in movies (even by actors who know better). That made this video even funnier. Well done, sir!
My husband and his cousin were trying to fish in a lake, got scared off by Water Moccasins and Cotton Mouth snakes. It was a race to see who could out run who, lol. I mean the guys, not the snakes, the snakes were busy.
I remember my dad and a bunch of us went fishing in a beaver pond not far from our home one evening. We were still fishing as it got dark but stopped when someone shined a flashlight over the water and we saw a bunch of snakes moving in our direction. LOL. I went walking down the road to that pond a few days later and there must have 20 different snakes on and near the logging road just soaking up the sun. Needless to say my walk was done.
I was water-skiing as a teenager and got too close to shore. To my horror I saw a swirling mass of snakes right in front of me. Had to ski right over them while praying I wouldn't fall. Will never forget this
I was smoking a blunt out in a swamp park where people take their boats to go out into the freshwater.
Out of nowhere, 2 people roll up and start making some clicking and calling of pets noises.
All of a sudden like 3 gators crawled out of the water and they started feeding the gators marshmallows.
One of the weirdest things I have seen in regards to humans overlapping with nature. Also, very illegal and irresponsible.
I assume they were fattening up the gators and every other week they show up and catch one to eat.
The moccasins and cottonmouths are a whole different terror if you have never seen them racing across the water, popping their heads up like a periscope, and my personal least favorite just dropping out the dang trees!
@@brandywine4000 Yeah, imagine being on a beaver pond at night and then shine a light across the water to see a few of them heading your way.
Spot on. I'm so happy that my city removed Blue Laws a few years ago. We can buy beer on Sundays now but only after church (after 1:00). 🤣
We had to remind them that holy days differ depending on which religion. Friday for Muslims, Saturday for Jews and Sunday for Christians. That's the whole weekend.
You forgot Saturdays for the Seven-Day Adventits. Some towns in Texas shut down on Saturday
My town too but we still can only buy liquor 7:AM to 7:PM Monday thru Saturday
I remember the days when you could buy a hammer on Sunday - but you could not buy nails.
I just realized liquor stores are closed on Monday if a holiday (Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s) falls on a Sunday. I wasn’t the only one unaware, as I saw many people with their noses pressed against the glass door to make sure they weren’t being burgled!!
Okay? It’s the south it’s Christianity down here. Don’t like it ya can head back up north.
If I walk down to the mailbox in the summer and there isn't any mail, I'm legitimately pissed off.
When it comes to Sunday beer, it pays to live five minutes above the Florida line.
It's Sunday, we're just out of luck. Ha, had me rolling.
My town finally legalized sales after noon, got to let them church ladies get home before the streets are filled with dead bodies!
Good one
The whole softball bit was 101% accurate. And I remember when you couldn't buy any liquor anywhere in the state on Sundays and then it began to be a town by town or parish by parish matter. You couldn't buy it at ALL in the town I lived in before I moved small ass town Mardi Gras Central so the bar right past the town limits was batshit crazy.
As a native Floridian, the one about the heat is absolutely spot on.
I lived in Florida for 20 years, had to move and I miss it all the time
Hey fellow Floridian, I was born and raised in South Florida now moved to Georgia he isn't wrong to say that
I lived in SC for 10 years, built up a tolerance for the heat/humidity, and then moved to TN 6 years ago. Now when I go visit my parents in FL or go back to SC, I no longer have the tolerance T__T
I miss Florida I moved to Ohio 3 years ago I lived in St. Could nice place tho
The outtakes from movies where they switch back to their British or Irish accent.
This man is owed a beer by everyone in the south
I'm pretty impressed by your range of realistic and exaggerated southern accents
You make me nod. You make me smile. You make me chuckle. And by golly, you bust my gut. Keep 'em coming.
Me, walks outside in the summer: Why's it so frickin hot?!
Husband: You think you'd get used to it eventually!
Me: You'd think!
(both native to the south, and we still have this exchange every year)
The first couple of 80+ degree days are like that for me. But since it was only 50 a couple days before....
You forgot to do the one where the Southern accent drops the character's IQ by 100 points or turns them into a country yokel even if they are from an urban area.
Its funny that even after all the internal migration from the Rust Belt and the Northeast to the South, Hollywood still clings to that old stereotypical view of the South. I think the old South died some time in the '80s. I'm a first gen Southerner myself(got the double whammy of having West Virginian parents and being a Southerner).
It died in 90s in metro and suburban areas. It's on its last legs in rural and Mtn areas...
Yeah the south was better until all the Yankees came here ruining how we do things and how we live.
@@amandachilds5290 I grew up in the 70's and 80's on a mountain in rural Alabama. It was a non-spoken thing that black people were not on the mountain after dark. I was raised better than that but not everyone felt that way. Now, my next door neighbors are both black, the ones behind me and to the right side of me. A Mexican family lives across the road. I have multiracial great nephews and a great niece(my niece married a black man). The area is still mostly white but the racial divide is mostly gone, at least on the surface. I am sure some token resistance still exists. I still see plenty of Confederate flags flying in spots, all across the mountain.
@@mintz9782 Oh I don't know about that. Blue Laws and Sunday closings were an irritation to me growing up so I liked those changes. Plus in addition to our local BBQ, fried chicken, sweet tea and grits(among other foods)we got better pizza, hot dogs, cheesecake, clam chowder, Vietnamese cuisine, and more Mexican dishes(plus stuff I can't remember ATM.)
@@bamachine yeah the racial thing is not what I was talking about. It was the accent thing and transplants from up north, out west and maybe foreign. For obvious reasons there have always been people of African descent and Hispanic as well as indigenous descent in the South. Florida was Spanish colonized as well as Texas. But they still had southern accents for the most part. Heck I grew up with people who escaped Vietnam, Korea and Cambodia in the 70s and their children were first generation Americans but sounded exactly like us in accents though they also spoke their native languages and parents weren't always fluent. But yes I am glad people feel safe to live all over and even the "hillbillies" or "rednecks" I know who have a Confederate flag flying about are in mixed families and don't even see it as racial at all. One is part of Cherokee nation moved from Oklahoma and her in laws are black. I know they know people think it means they are racist but they say no and won't take it down and it's their life. I know it exists and is out there and can be covert or sneaky but for the most part it's just magnified by the media or politicians with an agenda.
I love how Matt roasts that Foghorn Leghorn accent they use in all the movies!
“Both sides of the ball, were a really small school” so true haha
Matt: "Oh its Sunday? We're just outta luck then." Me: *Laughs in Louisiana*
So identified with the beer on Sunday laws. I have spent the greater part of my life stocking up on Saturday so that we had beer to last us thru Sunday. Also in those dry counties I have bought plenty of "memberships" to clubs so that we could drink without leaving the county.
I too, once battled with alcoholism
The football coach one is so true in fact almost all of our coaches teach at the school
He should be in movies, so funny 🤣 makes me laugh every time 🤣🤣😂

Man, I can't wait to see the next SEC skit he kills me every time. keep it up Matt!
Loving your channel, Matt! Keep them coming!
Haha! It's crazy that the no alcohol on Sunday thing is still a thing. I moved out west for a few years and got used to buying it whenever. Came back to the south and threw a six pack up on the counter at Walmart and was told I couldn't buy. I was like what the hell do you mean, I'm over 21, and then it dawned on me that I was back in rural Alabama. 🤣
They repealed that law years ago in Georgia
Lived in Alabama my whole life and I’m still not use to the Alabama heat.
Same. Also some of the most bipolar weather throughout the year.
The "she's the shhot and ask questiobs later" kind of person is priceless! The heat, the beer, and the foitball/sortball is so True Y'all. Thanks Matt!
matt leaving its a southern thing and making his own content made me realize that matt was the reason for the best content on that page.

I'm from New York and married into Kentucky. I was fascinated by the fact that they sell alcohol until 4am in drive thrus but not until 1 on Sundays. Like I've been here five years and im still always shocked to see liquor at the Target 😂
Liquor or just wine and beer. I grew up in texas. There and the other parts of the south I've been to sell wine and beer in the grocery store. Now that I live up north (NJ) around here most big places just have a separate but attached full Liquors store. It's weird not being able to buy a bottle of wine while grocery shopping.
@@RainCheck797 Must be a Northeast thing. Here in Michigan, every grocery store and most gas stations sell booze.

I’m with you on the heat. For me Summertime in Georgia is absolutely brutal. Had no A/C in my car one summer. Black car. Leather seats. It was torture.
That sounds bad enough here in Michigan. I'm glad you got A/C after that summer.
I turn into a different type of person in summer. I don’t have much need to go many places but in summer- I go next to NO where. I cannot tolerate the heat or humidity. I beg to move somewhere cool that time of year! Maybe we can airBnB our place? 😂
Sunday just means we gotta drive to the county line.
"Around here we play football!" 8 man football, but it's still football.
It is true that, every summer, we're surprised by the heat. I mean, we know it's coming. We dread it. But all the same, we're going to say "I believe it's hotter this year than it was last year! That news man's outta his mind if he thinks I'm turning my cooling off when the sun goes down!"
The heat thing is what got me! Lol. I've lived in South Georgia all my life, and I'm pretty sure we have the worst climate in the world.
I’m in Mississippi, and there were times that I swore I saw a giant magnifying glass up in the sky…
I have lived there and swore it was the gateway of the 7th circle of hell!!! Mercilessly hot!
100% accurate. You should do a video of movie sayings southerners never say that they say in movies.
The Braves and Falcons hats in these clips are amazing!
"Holy shit, it's hot out here. I've lived here my entire life and you just can't get used to this! How can you get used to this, it's like living in an oven!" Felt that to my core.
Ha! In Texas, you can buy beer after noon at the Piggly Wiggly on Sunday!
What! The Pig sells beer on Sunday?
ya but then you'd be in Texas. Ha!
@@StarlordStavanger Yeah good point. You don't NEED beers when you are in Texas, you get that buzz just from being better than any other state.
@@sillyquiet there's a handful of better states my guy. ha!
as a man of the south, this is the perfect amount of satire lol.
1:37 that one 😂😂!! I was too scared, usually to cross a non-fenced property line, yet alone hop a fence
I’m not dying over a baseball 😅😂
his fake southern accent is wicked funny! and his southern sterotypes are spot on.
