The first time my hubby came home from Afghanistan, he promised me that he would NEVER be too hot or too cold EVER again! EVER! He is truly in a committed relationship with our HVAC.
My solution to Middle East strife? Install a AC in EVERY house, hut or building. The trouble makers (or the Taliban) will say it’s too hot to riot or attack anything!
I was in Iraq at the start of the war (Operation Iraqi Freedom). It was the end of spring and it was 140 degrees F in the shade. We didn't have tents for the first month. About a month after we got our tents, I manage to get a generator and one large air conditioning unit. The problem was we had more than one large tent. My Soldiers almost got into fist fights trying to convince me which tent should get the AC unit. We ended up moving all of the Soldiers that had to sleep during the day into one tent, and put the AC unit there. It was the first time in months that they got some decent rest. I also had my wife ship me a small AC unit from Walmart to go with my small tent. I definitely understand where you hubby was coming from. That gung ho crap wore off after the first week of sleeping in your own sweat. I never want to be that hot when I sleep again!
My husband:I have to turn it to 67 at night bc it's hot. Also my husband: spends his time insisting the kids leaving one light on is why our electric bill is 300 in the summer. 🤣
Growing up, my dad delayed AC Day till as late as possible every spring to avoid the electric bill spike. But when we kids moved out, my mom said my dad threw all that out the window and cranked up the AC or heat at will and left lights or TVs or computers on all over the dang place.
As an hvac guy, i highly recommend never setting an a/c to lower than 73 (too hard on the equipment) . 10-12 degrees difference from inside to outside is a good rule of thumb.
😂😂😂 This may be the truest thing I’ve seen on the internet all year. When Talia says she’d gladly give up all the other appliances for the A/C - as a family, we had to make a choice between having a stove/oven or central A/C at our then 20+ year old double wide at the lake. A/C won by a landslide. You can do wonders with a large countertop toaster oven and a 2-burner hot plate when the need arises. A/C was non-negotiable in a middle GA summer, lol. We’d make that choice again in a heartbeat. Of course, that last bit made me spit out my tea laughing. Our poor ceiling fans have been literally running nonstop since Sept 2005. (Pro Tip: A fan with a lifetime warranty is worth every penny.). 😂😂😂
There's literally nothing more comfortable than a 90+ degree day while you're inside with 68 degree air conditioning, all the fans on, too, laying under a big, comfy blanket on the couch binging your favorite movies! Good stuff.
I pay for a service plan with an HVAC company to come and check my AC unit every spring, my heating unit every fall, my electricity every winter, and my plumbing every summer. Because this is not a lie. If you were in the south, you cannot live without your AC.
Agreed! I do this as well however I'm still going to buy a portable window unit just to have on hand in case the house AC breaks down. Cuz even though I have a contract and my air conditioner is new, when something happens in the middle of summer and they've got a hundred other people with the same problem, they make you wait 24 hours until they can get to you. That is not doable in the south,
@@j.darrel517 I've had one for the last 11 years and my bonus room upstairs just in case. It also helps keep the bonus room cool, because Lord knows, I've never met a bonus room that was actually cooled by the damn AC unit in the house. They always bake in the summer and freeze in the winter.
I had to turn the AC on for a couple days last week... in February. And I'm in NC. But, of course, two days later the heat was back on. The joys of winter in the South.

@@freethebirds3578 oh my goodness, I actually didn't know this wasn't a universal term! Hmm I'm wondering if people only learn an abbreviation like A.C perhaps they don't question what it stands for 😅
I just moved to NYC for school and I was trying to explain to someone how I just couldn't get used to the INDOOR temperature extremes up here (heating/cooling is on/off at a certain point of the year no matter what the weather, meaning indoors can be either super hot or super cold) and they thought I was talking about the weather in the South. I'm like "No. In the South it's always a lovely 68-72 degrees (indoors) no matter what the weather or season." They totally didn't get it.
We lost some of our big shade trees so in the summer it can get up to 80 during the day. It would go higher, I’m sure but that’s the temp we put it on when we’re not home. Otherwise, that poor thing would be running all night to cool us off. We have an attic fan too. I hate it for the noise & how it pulls the humidity inside. Feel like I’m living in and walking around a swamp.
I'm in the reverse situation. I've been living down South for about 15 years & still can't get used to mild winters. Spring is just a speed bump on the way to Summer!!
My son is an HVAC specialist in the South. All of this is gospel truth. People get panicked as all get out when their AC goes belly up. (Service your HVAC unit every year folks and change that grimy filter!)😁
This is the one great advantage to window units. If one fails, you shrug and turn up the other units. Get a new one from Lowe's or Home Depot the next day. If you feel like it.
LOVE THE END! This is SO true, y'all!!! In my previous house of 14 years, the fan over my bed ran 24/7 365 (except for cleaning which I did once a month!) for all 14 years!!!!
We have the same thing here in the California Central Valley. An easy 105 or 110 in the summer and the fan never stops even in the winter. We do have dry heat. We're looking at the South one of my wire for tires in 3 years, so this channel is like prep School. 😂😂😂
Underrated moment - when Matt/Talia were arguing, and she reached in to turn on the thermostat. Without missing a beat, Matt went from angry arguing to a simple "click" LOVE it!
The last apt I lived in before my current one was plagued with ac issues the entire 3 years I lived there. One year ago I decided enough was enough. With the rent increase and crappy ac I moved. When finding a new apt, my main criteria was if the ac was good. I actually went to the ac unit to see how old it was and ran it in the apt before I would sign the lease. I was appy to see that they had a bigger unit for upstairs apt and it was fairly new. I sleep with the temp at 66 at night and turn it up to 71 during the day. I live alone so it's not unusual for me to have only the TV and ac running during the hottest part of summer. My highest bill last summer was $122. During the winter it's usually $60. One other thing... I have had my best sleep in a hotel room with the temp all the way down as cold as it could be. I was nearly breathing frost it was so cold. Slept like a baby.
Oddly enough, I've had my best sleep in a hotel room with the heat cranked to max when working in Pennsylvania during late October. Having not seen snow in 4 years at that point, it snowing the 2nd day I was there and not melting for 4 really sucked when I didn't have the clothing for it.
My husband keeps it extra cold in hotels too, which I’m fine with. He says it isn’t going on his electric bill so have at it. He’s so bad but in a good way.
I spent one winter in a house that wasn't insulated. I don't live in the south, our winters have knee-deep snow for months. And during those months, we would warm the house up with a wood-burning heater to 19C (66F) every day, only to have it drop to 12C (52F) in the morning. We had cozy sleep, but very... refreshing mornings. There was a week when it was below -20C (-4F) outside, so one of us slept during the day and woke up at night to look after the heater while the others slept. It was a fun experience, but never again.
"I'm going to wreck your power bill!" "It'll be worth every penny" *A small price to pay, for salvation* This is just Squidward and Mr Krabs arguing over touching the thermostat in human form
Who knew that all of those years waiting out the kids going to sleep before Santa, the Tooth Fairy, etc. could visit would payoff so well?! I, too, just wait until I hear snoring and then drop it 2 degrees. But I have to turn the ceiling fan off at night, kills my sinuses to leave it running. Winter = close the bedroom hvac vent; Spring = open that bad boy up!
🤣🤣🤣 mine has finally given in and turns the a/c down at night. I can run a small town on the heat I put out so I need the a/c. We have a mattress heater pad if he gets too cold.
We don’t have AC here in the UK because our summers consist of 3 days of heat, 3 days of unbearable heat then the rains back but as I am a complete wimp when it comes to heat I’ve promised myself a portable AC Unit this year and not the desk fans that blow hot air at me 🥵 Great video guys ♥️👍
Put a pan of ice in front of your fan (do Not put the fan in ice or water lol) and let it blow across the chilled water from a height above where you sit. This is what we call a "swamp cooler" setup
Learned a trick from our yearly 4 day power outage thanks to hurricanes (yes, I will them over tornados, earthquakes, wildfires, and blizzards-at least you have a week to prepare for them) Fill your gallon milk jug or any large container with water and freeze it. If it’s super hot, set it in a pan or something to keep any furniture from getting wet from the condensation, put it IN FRONT of your desktop fan and you will need a light blanket during the night as it cools you down.
I’m “humidophobic” so can’t imagine how you’d get by without air conditioning! 😱 Here in South Australia we tend to have dry heat, though it did reach 47C/116F a year or two ago and can be over 40C/104F for days, even weeks, at a stretch. For me, access to clean water, with air conditioning a close second, is “vital” to survive! 🥵
@Bigfoottehchipmunk they could be the same as our “evaporative” air conditioners, but my preference is the refrigerated type. No way do I want any humidity added - ever!
Bwwaahaahaa!!! The ceiling fan earrings!! I am on the floor. Dying! Sooo good!! And can’t live without either of those life savers. God bless our fans and A/C!
I am with Tallia, I live in Central Florida and the central air is set at 76° and my bedroom window AC is set at 68° for sleeping. I only use one lightweight blanket but that’s probably because I sleep with a dogs that might as well be a heating pad.
I'm a bit north of you, but I'm the same way! House is concrete block, so we can leave the AC at 76-78, but I MUST have my bedroom at 67 all night (with the overhead fan of course!)
Northern Michigander transferred to Missouri by choice five years ago---and watching this on an 88 degree May day, enjoying having the temp at 72 and not sweating up a storm anymore. But I'll take this heat over the nasty blizzards, ice, snow storms, and never ending cold of my beloved home state! And, on the plus side, my electric bill is only half in the summer what it is in the winter, and that's with a/c on 24/7. Since everything in the apartment complex is electric, the furnace works far harder in the winter than the a/c has to in the summer, so there's at least that compensation. I've never had a summer electric bill higher than $76.
Buckeye here & the weather here can never make up it's mind ! I think I'll take some heat over the freezing cold & blistering winds any day ! Last week o was cold & wearing 3 layers. Today, capries & T- shirt ! Now that's more like it !
Y’all. This was awesome. Lol. My aunt always keeps her house a chilly 67 and all fans running year round. at least (if not colder) some of us freeze but she just tells us that unless we wanna see her take more clothes off we need to dress with more layers. We add layers. 😂 AC is definitely her favorite utility.
The fan part is so related! I keep my fan going 24/7 save for cleaning every two weeks because it gets dusty easily. I love hearing the sound of the blades as it helps me to sleep. 😴 💤 Light blankets and sheets a must during the summer here in Texas. . .especially with a dog who can be like a heating pad. 😅
We're in TN and I've had the A/C on for at just a month. It's currently on 71 and my hubby and the cats are miserable, but I'm hot. I pay the electric bill and I'm not going to be miserable. I keep it in 68 in the winter. I'll probably end up divorced when I hit menopause if I'm like this now. I crochet, we've got lots and lots of blankets.
I tell my husband every summer that I would rather starve than go with out the AC and as a side note he feels the same way about the heater so it’s a win win for both of us🤣
I'm with your husband, I can easily live without AC but I have to have heat in the winter. I'm not comfy unless I'm sweating a bit. Lowcountry South Carolina is hot and humid in summer and winter is mild by normal peoples standards but anything below 60 is cold for me so winter sucks. 🤔🤓🍻
"Honey, why is the A/C set at 60°?” "So it'll cool off faster." "Turning it down lower doesn't make it cold faster, it just stays on longer." "Right. Which makes it colder." "But ... that's ... it doesn't ..."
The AC will always break down at the worst time, usually in the middle of a heatwave. Change your air filter at the beginning of each month (if you have pets) or at least every 3 months. Also, clean out the drainage. It gets clogged with dust, then causes a leak in your walls.
This is SO TRUE! We could not live w/o the A/C in the Summer ( and most of the Spring and Fall). I live in in Mobile, AL so it is not at all unusual to have the A/C on until October. Yes, I would give up other appliances to have central air. It is a must. Also, our ceiling fans stay on all year. It's a Southern Thing does it again! 🤣
It's over 100% outside so my mom and I definitely got our air going. Last night, the power was out and it was like living in an oven! Thankfully, my brother and his family live so close we can walk there and they invited us over and it was so cool over there it felt so good! Bless thier hearts. Thankfully the power is back on and we can relax.
Damn if this ain't the best group of people ever. Y'all are the best at making me laugh even when I'm having a bad day if I see a new video from iast I have to see what it's about and by gawd y'all don't disappoint! Please keep it up
70 during the day here in Texas and 66 at night. We have ac here and I ain't playing with my thighs... and I have fans going 24/7, with feet out of all covers, ALWAYS! Plus film and shades on my windows. Thighs dont play.
The best thing, maybe the only good thing, about living where it's hot and dry is being able to effectively use swamp coolers until it's just about 100° outside.
I have lived in AZ for 50 years now. I don't miss the swamp cooler. My ac died in July 2020 when I was going through chemo. My brother in law loaned me his shop swamp cooler. Thank goodness we didn't have many monsoon storms during those 2 weeks.
@@lorettacarroll6015 I had the opposite experience last year. My swamp cooler died, and it was a whole thing getting to work right, so I only had my AC for about 6 weeks. When I had lived with roommates, they'd never want to turn on the AC because of the bill. I'd get home, they'd be miserable in tank tops and shorts so I'd always say, "Wouldn't you pay $3 to be comfortable right now?" Then when I got my electric bill after the cooler broke, I had to give myself that speech after the fact. I was doing the math, breaking down the bill to each hour and going, "Yeah, I guess that was worth it, but just barely."
@@suzannehartmann946 Haha! It regularly gets into the high 110's in the summers, but I have still never felt anywhere near as hot as I did when it was a humid 82° in Florida. I'm just not built for that. As for cooling systems, if it's a dry 100°, a properly installed swamp cooler will blow around 70° or so. Beyond that, I switch to AC.
This must be the modern south. At Memaw's house, she didn't have air conditioning OR a ceiling fan. Just the attic fan. Open the windows on the shady side of the house, put in your ear plugs, and turn on the switch. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, ISN'T IT? MORE ICED TEA? THANKS, DEAR. HOW'S WORK BEEN LATELY? It was horrible. And I miss it anyway.
What did we DO before air conditioning? In that vein it's been said that the worst mistake this country ever made was bringing air conditioning to D.C.
Amen. Our air unit broke last month and we're making do with a window unit and a few fans till we can get the air unit fixed. We live on an extremely tight budget since my hubbys rollover accident.
Its was 104°F last week...in May... FUNFACT: there are 2-3 times more Heat related deaths every year than Cold related deaths. You can always put on more clothes in the winter, but you can only take so many off before it becomes illegal.
@@damienthetexasian6827 I lived there for over 20 years. Not sure it ever got over 100° in May, but okay. Still I've always thought that 100° in May is pretty ridiculous!
OMG! So true. Here in Texas it could be 40 in the morning and 90 at bedtime. The humidity at times feels like a wet blanket. AC runs nine or ten months of the year, sometimes heat and AC in the same day. Love y’all
Oh yes I have learned long ago not to eat or drink while I'm watching these videos. Darn near choked a couple of times before I learned my lesson. This stuff is just too funny
My husband is an HVAC tech. I just showed him this sketch. I haven’t seen him laugh this hard in a long time 😅

Winter = close the bedroom hvac vent; Spring = open that bad boy up!
🤣🤣🤣 mine has finally given in and turns the a/c down at night. I can run a small town on the heat I put out so I need the a/c. We have a mattress heater pad if he gets too cold.
YES😂😂😂
Me too! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ryan coming in at the end is the BEST 🤣😅 I truly appreciate my fans and ac lol lol
Very sorry I thought that you were referring to you having humid admirers as you have your face on there like you wish you did
I was smiling the whole time watching this, but when the ceiling fan chimed in I cracked up laughing 😂. It’s so true Y’all!!!!!!
I work at an HVAC wholesaler in central Alabama and this killed me! some call it a hot summer, I call it groceries.
I had a friend that was a plumber and she said every time a toilet flushed she heard “cha ching”!😂
We don’t have AC here in the UK because our summers consist of 3 days of heat, 3 days of unbearable heat then the rains back but as I am a complete wimp when it comes to heat I’ve promised myself a portable AC Unit this year and not the desk fans that blow hot air at me 🥵 Great video guys ♥️👍
Put a pan of ice in front of your fan (do Not put the fan in ice or water lol) and let it blow across the chilled water from a height above where you sit. This is what we call a "swamp cooler" setup
Learned a trick from our yearly 4 day power outage thanks to hurricanes (yes, I will them over tornados, earthquakes, wildfires, and blizzards-at least you have a week to prepare for them) Fill your gallon milk jug or any large container with water and freeze it. If it’s super hot, set it in a pan or something to keep any furniture from getting wet from the condensation, put it IN FRONT of your desktop fan and you will need a light blanket during the night as it cools you down.
How's it going with the lack of ac right now? I hear yall are cooking.
I was told the homes in UK are not built to have AC, but to last. OUr homes are disposable.
omg - Thank you for reminding me to call for the HVAC tuneup. ((picking up the phone - hitting HVAC on speed-dial))
I’m “humidophobic” so can’t imagine how you’d get by without air conditioning! 😱
Here in South Australia we tend to have dry heat, though it did reach 47C/116F a year or two ago and can be over 40C/104F for days, even weeks, at a stretch.
For me, access to clean water, with air conditioning a close second, is “vital” to survive! 🥵
@Bigfoottehchipmunk they could be the same as our “evaporative” air conditioners, but my preference is the refrigerated type. No way do I want any humidity added - ever!
Bwwaahaahaa!!! The ceiling fan earrings!! I am on the floor. Dying! Sooo good!! And can’t live without either of those life savers. God bless our fans and A/C!
I am with Tallia, I live in Central Florida and the central air is set at 76° and my bedroom window AC is set at 68° for sleeping. I only use one lightweight blanket but that’s probably because I sleep with a dogs that might as well be a heating pad.
I'm a bit north of you, but I'm the same way! House is concrete block, so we can leave the AC at 76-78, but I MUST have my bedroom at 67 all night (with the overhead fan of course!)
AC: 70-72 day, 66 at night. Heat: 68 day, 64 night
The fan DUDE the whole skit was awesome and the finish was great
Northern Michigander transferred to Missouri by choice five years ago---and watching this on an 88 degree May day, enjoying having the temp at 72 and not sweating up a storm anymore. But I'll take this heat over the nasty blizzards, ice, snow storms, and never ending cold of my beloved home state!
And, on the plus side, my electric bill is only half in the summer what it is in the winter, and that's with a/c on 24/7. Since everything in the apartment complex is electric, the furnace works far harder in the winter than the a/c has to in the summer, so there's at least that compensation. I've never had a summer electric bill higher than $76.
Buckeye here & the weather here can never make up it's mind ! I think I'll take some heat over the freezing cold & blistering winds any day ! Last week o was cold & wearing 3 layers. Today, capries & T- shirt ! Now that's more like it !
How northern were you? I live in Charlevoix County.
Hahaha! Very clever! And yep, it's time to turn the A/C on here in the South. It's HOT!
Not yet in Maryland!
@@cherylhee9762 It's supposed to be in the 80s this week and possibly 90s next week here in northwest Georgia!
@@sallyphillips9175 😱
The ceiling fan at the end hahaha!
Thanks for the reminder to clean the ceiling fan. I forget because it’s never off long enough to do it
FACTS
So true y'all, Love Yall, poor fan, gets no break, needed my southern fix !!! :)
Totally. When the power goes out and the fan actually stops it's "Well hello there constant feeling of suffocation."
As my neighbor says, “ Air conditioning has saved more lives than an-ti-bi-odics.” ( in that exact syntax too)
How does a ceiling fan get dusty even though it never stops spinning?🤔 That is the question that I need answered!
Dust in the air collects on the blades
@@doughesson Yesterday we had to clean the blades AND the front cover on our floor fan. It now blows air!
Y’all. This was awesome. Lol. My aunt always keeps her house a chilly 67 and all fans running year round. at least (if not colder)
some of us freeze but she just tells us that unless we wanna see her take more clothes off we need to dress with more layers. We add layers. 😂 AC is definitely her favorite utility.
Co worker once told me you can add layers to warm up but there's only so much nekkid you can get to cool off Lol
Amen and hallelujah. The Dept of Energy are lunatics.
The fan part is so related! I keep my fan going 24/7 save for cleaning every two weeks because it gets dusty easily. I love hearing the sound of the blades as it helps me to sleep. 😴 💤 Light blankets and sheets a must during the summer here in Texas. . .especially with a dog who can be like a heating pad. 😅
I can help. Kick the DOG out.
I discovered these people while home sick with Covid-19. They kept my miserable self company.
I love Talia! My A/C runs practically all the time. Hey, it's Florida!
Its the humidity makes it worse!
LOOLLL I lost it when I saw Ryan as the ceiling fan 🤣🤣🤣
Matt needs an Oscar for playing an AC unit that doesn't want to be on all the time. It went against his whole being.
We're in TN and I've had the A/C on for at just a month. It's currently on 71 and my hubby and the cats are miserable, but I'm hot. I pay the electric bill and I'm not going to be miserable. I keep it in 68 in the winter. I'll probably end up divorced when I hit menopause if I'm like this now. I crochet, we've got lots and lots of blankets.
78 and 82?
Drop those by 10 degrees and we can talk.
I feel like Matt was like: “hey look I can sound like a broken thermostat.” And they just made it into a sketch😂
Fan Guy is my favorite! If there's one thing I cannot stand in my life is still, stale air in my house. Fans in every room, y'all!!!
Thanks Y'all I was needing a Matt and Tallia fix.
they are both truly talented actors
Definitely felt this today. Outside: 95, inside at work: 80, then I come home to a chilly...75. gotta keep that bill manageable
Everybody wants to run the ceiling fan. But how many of us remember to truly appreciate them? 🥺🥺🥺
The fan - too funny, lol I love it!
I tell my husband every summer that I would rather starve than go with out the AC and as a side note he feels the same way about the heater so it’s a win win for both of us🤣
I'm with your husband, I can easily live without AC but I have to have heat in the winter. I'm not comfy unless I'm sweating a bit.
Lowcountry South Carolina is hot and humid in summer and winter is mild by normal peoples standards but anything below 60 is cold for me so winter sucks. 🤔🤓🍻
"Honey, why is the A/C set at 60°?”
"So it'll cool off faster."
"Turning it down lower doesn't make it cold faster, it just stays on longer."
"Right. Which makes it colder."
"But ... that's ... it doesn't ..."
True that! I could not have made it through my years in Houston without both the AC and the fans!
The AC will always break down at the worst time, usually in the middle of a heatwave. Change your air filter at the beginning of each month (if you have pets) or at least every 3 months. Also, clean out the drainage. It gets clogged with dust, then causes a leak in your walls.
It was 105 this weekend in San Antonio. I’d slay a dragon if it meant my AC stays running.
Up north we feel this way about heat in the winter
When he started making that noise it sounded expensive 😳 lol
This is SO TRUE! We could not live w/o the A/C in the Summer ( and most of the Spring and Fall). I live in in Mobile, AL so it is not at all unusual to have the A/C on until October. Yes, I would give up other appliances to have central air. It is a must. Also, our ceiling fans stay on all year. It's a Southern Thing does it again! 🤣
As a HVAC technician, I approve of this video 😂😂
the fan is so accurate i have got to show this to my papa .. he was an appliance repair man for sears for 47 years, it will be hilarious for him
LMBO. This is so true, y'all.
It's over 100% outside so my mom and I definitely got our air going. Last night, the power was out and it was like living in an oven! Thankfully, my brother and his family live so close we can walk there and they invited us over and it was so cool over there it felt so good! Bless thier hearts. Thankfully the power is back on and we can relax.
You forgot Dad! He'll do any and everything to keep you from moving down the thermostat even 1 degree. He'd certainly be on the AC's side
Until *he* gets too hot, and then he cranks it down until everyone else is cold lol
My dad is the exact opposite of that statement.
Living by the equator I have the same tropical weather year-round-never below 75° and typically more than 85% humidity. This sketch was fantastic!!
Damn if this ain't the best group of people ever. Y'all are the best at making me laugh even when I'm having a bad day if I see a new video from iast I have to see what it's about and by gawd y'all don't disappoint! Please keep it up
So true, it HURTS! We take out a loan every year to pay for A/C in Houston, by gosh, Texas! 🤣🤣🤣🤠🥶🥶
Lol who sets it at 78 during day and 82 during night? That’s nuts…what’s the point of AC?
70 during the day here in Texas and 66 at night. We have ac here and I ain't playing with my thighs... and I have fans going 24/7, with feet out of all covers, ALWAYS! Plus film and shades on my windows. Thighs dont play.
67F, 24/7, 365.
I WOULD DIE!
To condition the air 🤓😄
The only people that do that don’t live in the South!
Phoenix, AZ! So true! Especially the fan at the end, dust and all!
Matt as an AC unit! 😂😂😂 I'm dying!
how do I like this more than once!!! 👍 👍 👍
Well done yall!!
I’ve been watching you guys for years and this is one of the best (and most relatable) sketches I’ve seen. Loved every bit of it.
AC came on in March
I've only had my air off for about 2-3 weeks all this past year, South Florida. And I just bought a new dual Ryan for the porch.
I lived in Central Texas without central heat or air for over 20 yrs. Summers got harder and harder. I am sooooo grateful to be in a house with AC.
The AC breaking on the weekend! I felt that in my gut. Everything breaks after 5pm on Friday night.
The best thing, maybe the only good thing, about living where it's hot and dry is being able to effectively use swamp coolers until it's just about 100° outside.
Yeah, so jealous
@@hishealer Don't be the slogan "but it's a DRY heat" is ridiculous. 100 degrees is STILL ONE HUNDRED!
I have lived in AZ for 50 years now. I don't miss the swamp cooler. My ac died in July 2020 when I was going through chemo. My brother in law loaned me his shop swamp cooler. Thank goodness we didn't have many monsoon storms during those 2 weeks.
@@lorettacarroll6015 I had the opposite experience last year. My swamp cooler died, and it was a whole thing getting to work right, so I only had my AC for about 6 weeks. When I had lived with roommates, they'd never want to turn on the AC because of the bill. I'd get home, they'd be miserable in tank tops and shorts so I'd always say, "Wouldn't you pay $3 to be comfortable right now?" Then when I got my electric bill after the cooler broke, I had to give myself that speech after the fact. I was doing the math, breaking down the bill to each hour and going, "Yeah, I guess that was worth it, but just barely."
@@suzannehartmann946 Haha! It regularly gets into the high 110's in the summers, but I have still never felt anywhere near as hot as I did when it was a humid 82° in Florida. I'm just not built for that.
As for cooling systems, if it's a dry 100°, a properly installed swamp cooler will blow around 70° or so. Beyond that, I switch to AC.
Absolutely brilliant! And so true! Thanks, y'all. 🙏❤️
Yeah when Ercot asks us to preserve energy and moderate using the A/C, I just say "That's cute. Nah, son."
haha! hundreds of thousands of us are saying the same thing lol!
Don’t know who or what Ercot is. But I bet his place is cool…
Funny, I was just thinking about what a great day today was, low 80's, breezy, I wish I had called out sick just so I could enjoy the day outdoors!
Funny is that you “call out sick” and we “call in sick”! 😎 P.S. do you also, say, at the store stand in line or on line?
@@samiam619 I stand in line...
OMG THE FAN AT THE END🤣😂
This must be the modern south. At Memaw's house, she didn't have air conditioning OR a ceiling fan. Just the attic fan. Open the windows on the shady side of the house, put in your ear plugs, and turn on the switch.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, ISN'T IT? MORE ICED TEA? THANKS, DEAR. HOW'S WORK BEEN LATELY?
It was horrible. And I miss it anyway.
Amazing!
I love how the dust stays on the ceiling fan, until you accidentally switch it to the other direction...
So true y'all 🤣😆😂
this was hilarious but the ceiling fan bit sent me over the edge. Soooo good i'm crying. Thanks I needed that. 💜
Ya'll are the best! Wishing we could just skip this summer and go straight to football....Bama Football.
So funny, and so true! Desert native here, and my fan runs all year long.
What did we DO before air conditioning? In that vein it's been said that the worst mistake this country ever made was bringing air conditioning to D.C.
This one might be one of the best EVER! Well done, guys! Well freakin' done!!!!
I have an HVAC, ceiling fans AND window units! I love my Tennessee! Even mid summer!
Always keep a window unit in storage in case the central air unit goes down.
Hell I guess I'm a true hick. I just leave it in my bedroom window all the time just in case 🙃. You know it can get hot in December too!.
Amen. Our air unit broke last month and we're making do with a window unit and a few fans till we can get the air unit fixed. We live on an extremely tight budget since my hubbys rollover accident.
@@jameshuggins4300 Then I'm a hick too. Mine never came out of the window ever.
@@queenbunnyfoofoo6112 🤣🤣👍
If this isn’t up for an Emmy ………….
Its was 104°F last week...in May...
FUNFACT: there are 2-3 times more Heat related deaths every year than Cold related deaths.
You can always put on more clothes in the winter, but you can only take so many off before it becomes illegal.
SO TRUE Y'ALL!
Where was it 104? Goodness! The TX desert?
@@biker5662 San Antonio
@@damienthetexasian6827 I lived there for over 20 years. Not sure it ever got over 100° in May, but okay. Still I've always thought that 100° in May is pretty ridiculous!
@@biker5662 may 7-8 ....101°-104° depends what side of town
I live in Kentucky. I barely turn on the heat in the winter, but I make up for in the summer. I can't take the heat AT ALL so the AC works hard.
😂😂😂😂Love it!
OMG! So true. Here in Texas it could be 40 in the morning and 90 at bedtime. The humidity at times feels like a wet blanket. AC runs nine or ten months of the year, sometimes heat and AC in the same day. Love y’all
Y'all almost made me spit out my coffee...THAT would've been a Sin....but I'll give you a Pass this time. 😁😁😁
Oh yes I have learned long ago not to eat or drink while I'm watching these videos.
Darn near choked a couple of times before I learned my lesson. This stuff is just too funny
I live in DMV area of VA, and having grown up in North, I rarely use my heat in winter, but run my AC constantly in summer cause of heat.
Department of Energy can suck eggs, I can't sleep in temps higher than 70, even with no blankets.
