This episode of Things Southerners Say is tackling everything y'all love about spring in the South. And the stuff we hate too (looking right at you, pollen).
Every Saturday at noon, my Mom would say"If the Russians were going to bomb Memphis, they'd attack at noon on Saturday because nobody would pay attention to the sirens. "
YES. I loved this too. Then that little voice in my head said "now that's probably not as accurate since that perfect storm that was the introduction of the Instant pot and 'that' episode of This Is Us." - that voice is a buzz kill.
Yeah, that time when you can't sleep because you'll suffocate is so very, utterly wonderful, isn't it? Especially when you start trying to sleep so you'll die and it will end, but you keep chocking back awake.
Ya learn not to waste time on make up and to wear the least you can get away with, depending on function and if your snarky heifer of an aunt is there.
@@rosencain 🤣 I have the"snarky heifer" of my big sister's friend who I've known since I was 7. I don't know how my lovely sister stands her. And she loves to pick me apart. But my mother is like "you can't make a scene or be rude at a function!" . I only ever see her at functions. Totally evil woman.
@@StephBer1 I've a couple of family members who think it is their job to cause trouble if more than 10 people are gathered. As for my aunt, I'd go North to visit my parents and she would come over just to see if I gained weight. For some stupid reason when I was a kid she didn't think I ever heard her snarky comments about me being chubby. Got even with her, she came in as usual and after a few minutes complained that I hadn't commented on the weight she had lost (I hadn't been up in 2yrs). So I had her stand and spin and told her I found it, it's on your butt! She did not come in to see me the next 2 times I went up :D
@@rosencain Hahaha. Cheeky but so worth it. Everyone is always too nice when it comes to these rude people. I'm glad you got a reprieve from her for a few years. :)
"If the crockpot is for sale, that marriage is about to fail." Unless they are newly-married. Then they probably have two or three crockpots for sale because they received several as wedding gifts.
1:33 as someone who live in Oklahoma, the state with the most tornadoes every year, this is pretty much everyone here lol. Note how he doesn't even move when the sirens go off he just says, "hmmmm..... pretty loud" 😂
The sirens are so loud they could be from 2 towns over! I don't take cover until Mike Morgan says to. David Payne interrupts TV when the wind blows over 45 mph
Hey, Bill Curtis got his Pulitzer here in Topeka for saying "For God's sake, take cover!!!" and hiding under the anchor desk until the June 6th 1966 tornado passed by the studio.
I miss Gary England being on channel 9, dude was legit upset that they didn't stay in the studio with him on May 3, 1999. He kept going on air until the tornado hit there and i just lol because i remember him saying i guess i just have to man the camera alone. 😂 Like yes Gary you're right because ppl are trying to live lol.
Lol two years ago it was 34 degrees on the 4th of july. Last year it was 40. I remember vividly because i had to ride 15 miles on my motorcycle to get to work that morning. I was frozen.
Here in Virginia it's winter almost every morning, but spring visits every afternoon. At least that's how it was this winter. It snowed one night this year and was 30 in the morning but 60 by the afternoon. That was our snow day. And yes some schools did close. There was a fair bit of ice
Claratin might as well be a placebo when it meets my allergies. Which have already started round 2. Mountain Cedar attacks at Christmas and now who the heck knows. Oak pollen? Weeds? Flowering trees and shrubs? It's all going on right now.
When the tornado siren started we'd all be on the front porch looking for funnel cloud. One time there were three of them in sort of a line to the west of us!
“Oh am I ready for baseball season, let’s just say I’ve asked six of the braves players to be pallbearers at my funeral that way they can let me down one last time.” 😂😂😂😂
People who say they don't have allergies come to Georgia we will give you allergies. Not looking to to my seasonal allergies this spring. Oh wait they have started already.
Augusta, GA here. I worked at a hospital back in the day. Less than a year after I had moved here, one of the doctors overheard me say I didn’t have allergies when we were all discussing everyone’s spring miseries. He proceeded to tell me that if I didn’t have them yet, I would inside of a year or two. He was right. Apparently that’s a thing. If you stay in Augusta long enough, it isn’t a matter of ‘if’ you develop allergies, but more a matter of ‘when’. Pardon me while I reach for my Allegra-D...
Avery the Cuban-American darn thing breaks down all the time anyway. Just wait outside the entrance when it’s down. The ride will open back up again, and now it’s a 10 minutes wait, plus the 10 minutes you spent waiting outside for it to reopen. 20 minutes tops
Yessssss, punching someone in the face yes. I have allergies all year around ......lmao same. I’m dying ....wait that’s the Tornado sirens ...it’s ok.. ignores it. Gawd I love being Southern born and raised Texas gal here.
Jessaca Kordsmeier Redd in a state of Namaste soaps Have a cup of water with a little local honey dissolved in it every morning before you go outside. It helps with those allergies. If you have them really bad add a tea spoon of apple cider vinegar in there too.
"When someone tells me they don't have allergies I've considered punching them in the throat just to give them a little taste" Why is that me though 😂😂😂
Spring? You mean endless rain. It pours for days straight and then you get one or two days of dry weather which gets your hopes up before the next multi day storm comes. (I'll admit I'm from Memphis which is normally pretty rainy no matter what season)
"It only lasts 2 hours here!" OMG, soooooo true!!! If you aren't careful here in TN, you'll miss spring altogether and just mistake it for a warm snap!!! LMBO!!!
I love these things, they are so true to the South. And every time I hear one of my Yankee friends say "I moved to the South because of the weather" I'm thinking "Are you kidding me, it is hot and sticky for eight months out of the year"!!! And I've never lived anywhere else...
“We don’t need a play-by-play of your snot cycles”. 🤣 I laughed, this is how allergy/sinus sufferers bond! I constantly have a Kleenex stash on me. And live on Mucinex and Claritin.
Allergies are why I'm glad I moved to North Dakota. I still get them but not as bad. Also if I buy the locally made honey and drink a glass of hot tea with it mixed in it before the season starts I don't get them at all or they are very mild. That's a tip for y'all.
Hello from Alabama! 24 degrees last night and yet my allergies are already kicking my butt. Forget over the counter it's prescription all the way! Matt always reminds me of my father, at least what he says. LOL
rayjaypaulsen we live near Shreveport LA. They weren’t bad last year but we had a bumper crop the year before. You were scared to take a deep breath outside for fear of sucking a few of them down your throat.
These are so true it hurts! I dread spring because one day it 75 degrees and the world is beautiful then the next day it’s 90 degrees, humid, and I won’t be out of the AC until November. Actually it was still 90 in November this past year so make it December
The allergy sufferer -- yes, yes, yes. Of course, in Central Texas you've just come out of Cedar Fever season, and then get hit with all the yellow/green pollen crap. And we've got mold year-round! Gotta love Austin. Matt was on a roll today!
That guy ignoring the tornado siren was the most southern thing in the world.
Every Saturday at noon, my Mom would say"If the Russians were going to bomb Memphis, they'd attack at noon on Saturday because nobody would pay attention to the sirens. "
@@doughesson So, true! 😂😂
We do that in the Midwest too...in fact...too many Midwesterners decide to go outside and watch the tornado. 🤦♀️
@@alexakemmann88 One time I saw the clouds spinning right above my house and I was sitting on the porch.
Yes! Completely! When we have them at work, we all ask if we really need to do anything! 🤣🤣🤣
“If that crockpot is for sale, that marriage is about to fail” 😂😂 I love it!
YES. I loved this too. Then that little voice in my head said "now that's probably not as accurate since that perfect storm that was the introduction of the Instant pot and 'that' episode of This Is Us." - that voice is a buzz kill.
didsdddddd
sad
Ha
“Livin in satans armpit.” Ain’t that the truth.
Lol
Are you too polite to say "livin in Satan's butt cheeks?" That's where you really are in the south. 😁😁
Especially in Florida
Kemarly Dorfeuille florida is the New York of the south. They don’t count.
Nothing like opening the door to go outside and gettin' slapped upside the head with the humidity either. Lol
"When someone tells me they don't have allergies I consider punching them in the throat just to give them a little taste." MEEEEEEE
Yeah, that time when you can't sleep because you'll suffocate is so very, utterly wonderful, isn't it? Especially when you start trying to sleep so you'll die and it will end, but you keep chocking back awake.
Everyone in the south has allergies
Same if you tell me that unless your my friend I will punch you in the throught
@@arielt6556 Not everyone. And some have it so worse than others.
@@HikaruRain I dont understand how anyone wouldn't ofc some people have it worse but it's the weather down here
"Sweating like a sinner in church while I'm trying to butter a roll" Oh my gosh, I had to go back and watch that part three times. Freaking gold.
Spring? Oh, you mean that thing that happens 30 days out of February and March before Summer hits you like a sweaty backhand from Lucifer.
30 days? No way. 🤣
It's more like 30 hours or 30 seconds in the morning for about a week.
You “all” are giving me a new appreciation of the northern states, with a full four season cycle! 😁
FEBRUARY AND MARCH!? We don't get spring until May. You want hot then cold? Try 20C 1 day then -2C with snow the next in June.
"It's hot, then it's cold...it's just like Garth Brooks in the 90's.."
😂😂🤪🤪😂😂🤪🤪
“Are you Garth Brooks or Chris Gaines today?” That killed me😂💀
😆😅😃😉
Oh Matt... the Braves letting you down line was awesome. Hilarious
Yes especially when you consider Georgia's curse that everytime any of our teams get into the championship we blow the lead by the fourth quarter.
@@az547 my wife still cries thinking about that one
Aged poorly haha… good
"I forgot I was wearing makeup". Yep, done that way too many times...
Yeah, when you look like you went on an ugly cry? But it's only the allergies. This is the time when mascara is a waste.

"If the crockpot is for sale, that marriage is about to fail." Unless they are newly-married. Then they probably have two or three crockpots for sale because they received several as wedding gifts.
Yeah after two that's to much 😂 I recieved 3 🙈
I got three. one lives at my parents, one lives in cabinet for parties then the last one is my main crockpot
I got three and all of them live in my cabinets. Ones for winter BBQ ones for my chili and the last one is for my lazy ass dinners.
"If a crock pots on sale that marriage is gonna fail"
I'm dead
“You can tell a lot by a family’s yard sale. If a crock pot is for sale, that marriage is about to fail.” 😂
"Home run? More like I'm going home," every introvert ever
I'm runnin home for sure
I cant wait for my own home lol. freedom!
Lol me too

Truth from another Okie #ripMoore
It doesn't bother me any heck I hear it every day at noon
"Love is in the air, no wait that's the tornado sirens."
6 Braves players as my pall bearers so they can let me down one last time. LMFAO 🤣
Spring in Mississippi is legit one day, then it’s back to 100° and 100% humidity. Same with winter. Maybe have winter one day...
Lol two years ago it was 34 degrees on the 4th of july. Last year it was 40. I remember vividly because i had to ride 15 miles on my motorcycle to get to work that morning. I was frozen.
The rest of the world: 100 degrees celsius !!!! Oh wait, its America! They use Fahrenheit . Was worried for second there you guys!
@@Cody_Ramer In Mississippi?!

Also as a Braves fan, that saying is 100% true
That one just sent me over the edge. Too true.
Helen Holt the game against the cardinals last year still has me 😢
Absolutely 💯
word
At least you Braves fans didn’t have Not one, but TWO World Series stolen by cheaters! Go Dodgers!
Things northerners say in spring: You sure we’re not still in winter? 🥶
We share the allergies part though. Thank goodness for Claritin D
I hate the giants
Also, “Oh, God, here comes the construction cones. Home to roost.”
They say Canada has 2 seasons. Summer and Hockey. Not far off. Hockey is sept to june.
I lived up North for a few years and I never had an allergy problem. But I did every Spring living in the South.
Claratin might as well be a placebo when it meets my allergies. Which have already started round 2. Mountain Cedar attacks at Christmas and now who the heck knows. Oak pollen? Weeds? Flowering trees and shrubs? It's all going on right now.

So the Braves can let me down one more time I’m weak 😂😂
My Mustang is yellow and in the Spring so is the windshield.
😂😂
So true y'all 😂 Pants with buttons ARE oppressive!!!!
😂😂😂YESSSSSSSSS😂😂😂
Meandmy Tea Agreed
“Oh am I ready for baseball season, let’s just say I’ve asked six of the braves players to be pallbearers at my funeral that way they can let me down one last time.” 😂😂😂😂
Around these parts, we have:
Almost winter
Winter
Still winter
Pothole repair season.
Voltaire Decent Minnesota or Wisconsin?
M K Southern Alberta.
Voltaire Decent so even more winter than us!
M K freaking endless. And “summer” failed to load last year. I think I only got about 5 tanks of gas out of my bike.
@@voltairedecent255 same here in Wisconsin bud..we had a few days hit the 80s and just cool wet weather
People who say they don't have allergies come to Georgia we will give you allergies. Not looking to to my seasonal allergies this spring. Oh wait they have started already.
Texas will give you some pretty good allergies, too.
KY is pretty bad too

I relate to the allergy girl soo much!
It’s confirmed, love causes tornadoes

Good point.
In the south Spring is all 4 seasons over a 3 month time period.
In Texas it could be 4 seasons in one day.
In the spring in Oklahoma we’ve had all four seasons in one day!
I can feel my allergies acting up already. 🤧🤧
I don’t watch baseball but that Braves joke was hilarious 😂
Yard sales!!! Yaaaay!! Lol Don't know the black lady's name but she's my favorite besides Matt. LOVED THIS👍👍

Lol had to laugh at are you Garth today or Chris Gaines lol
I didn't mind the Chris Gaines phase.. so sue me.
I loved Chris
jessicaaudate I liked some of the songs he came out with as Chris just never understood the Chris phase.
Thanks for the smiles. Your channel has lots of funny videos.
Matt the philosopher: " So they can let me down one more time." Braves lost every game I attended....
I thought it was me hexin' them, so I stopped goin.
“I want to write help me but my whole body will break out in hives” 😂 and the tornado siren! True. And the makeup!!!!! YASSSS
Matt never let's me down!

Edit: Let’s go! I actually am!
Btw...thinks for using my suggestion in the Live Stream yesterday!
Oml when the tornado sirens went off I felt that in my soul 😂😂 you hear them so often in the south it’s crazy.
I’m binge-watching Southern Thing….. this is making me laugh all the time
"Why the heck do those pretty little white flowers smell like _dead fish wrapped in unwashed gym socks_ ?"
Spring is amazing! Too bad it only lasts a week.
Surprisingly spring is a bit easier on my asthma than cold weather. A damp winter can be rough. And yep... BASEBALL SEASON IS ALMOST HERE!
Imagine having spring

Worth the heat (with air conditioning, y'all) to avoid the -20 degree, 4+ ft. of snow winters which also last 5 months.
