California really had the audacity to diss sweet tea in front of *multiple* Southern states and act shocked at how they reacted
Seriously, what was he thinking
In California’s defense, it is just sugar and tea. It's cultural significance is hard to explain though
Sweet tea isn't that good. It's like juice but worse.
@@wta1518 if you get fast food crap sure
@@thejestor9378 No, EVERY sweet tea is disgusting.
"Anything new?"
"Florida's about to get wasted."
"I said 'new'."
"By a hurricane."
"Again, 'new'."
"Catastrophic damage, massive loss of life, 'end of days' getting Google searched?"
"Mais sha, dat just Florida on a weekday."
As a Floridian who rode out the hurricane, I feel this.
@@diamondelliott8935 Sharknado happened in Florida.
@@16ktsgamma not much will get me to putting hate into a comment, but the fact that there is more than one of those movies, let aloNE FIVE OF THEM!! AAAAAAHHH!!
kill.
California lowering their glasses had me in stiches, but Puerto Rico at the end just killed it. Once, again well done.
It's because that truck was heading to California.
Florida also got hit tho, man those 150+moh winds were craaaaaaazy, almost took our roof and almost flooded the house, watching that from the front porch was pretty wild, also walking out into the eyewall (worst part of the storm) to use the car radio to get news was a mistake lol
Rico is the best character, hands down. And yes, I’m biased
Yep, a lot of us are still trying to get power back and even water
@@Chaotic1King And now the news cycle is only reporting on Florida. I hope you're safe and recovery there has more support than after Maria.
And I understood P.R.'s closing comment. One of the joys of only learning the "important" bits of a language.
I can also get someone angry enough to punch me in Russian and Finnish!
@@tarody3953 i wish tbh, It’s honestly JUST as bad and it’s even causing bad flashbacks for a lot of the Puertorican community here, there’s even areas in the south that still have closed roads due to Mudslides, floods, etc.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Hehe Spanish cursing is more fun tbh
California: it's just sugar in tea!
The South: so you have chosen death
I really didn't like that there wasn't sweet tea that time I was temporarily in Massachusetts.
As a Puerto Rican with currently no power, water and questionable choices of food, that last part made me laugh like an idiot XD
No power, but you're here? Huh?
@@codeman99-dev Solar for charging small things and generators for public places. Cell towers are probably running on a generator system to allow for contact to the outside world and each other. It's 2022.
@@codeman99-dev You ever hear of a battery bank, generator or hand cranked phone charger flashlight radio combo units? I'm fairly certain anyone that lives in the path of hurricanes has at least one if not all of those
@@codeman99-dev Found the child who hasn’t heard phones contain batteries & generators can be bought for any energy source-from the sun, to oil, to troll tears. That one is around 24/7 as you just demonstrated. For best results, store those tears where the sun doesn’t shine.
Floridian here, in the same boat as you are the moment. Hope we can get you help soon.
This was an… eventful table news. Also, my thoughts go out to all those who were hit by Ian. I was hit as well, but nothing really bad happened to me.
It’s still going.. it’s still hitting east coast of florida with the last bits of it, heading out into ocean a bit then gonna be landing again in SC if prediction stands correct this time.
@@thejestor9378 It’s a tropical storm right now though, right?
@@liblib620 it was a cat 4 when it landed in Florida yesterday at 2 pm, it has only left the land of florida and hitting coast of it as it heads out around 2 pm today, with surges still hitting them, as it is now going back from the tropical storm it weakened to over the span of 24 hours back into a cat 1 as it’s heading back up to hit SC sometime tomorrow.
Thank you I live in Florida and was evacuated to Orlando
As someone named Ian, it is very weird to see “hit by Ian” cause it short circuits my brain. I saw the destruction in some videos. Can’t even imagine the anguish many are feeling, it having their homes completely flooded and ruined
Puerto Rico!! It's so good to see him back. Keeping my fingers crossed that after all the states are called to the table DC and Puerto Rico get their chance to be called
Hear Hear!
Please include Puerto Rico more often!😉🇵🇷😎
I fully support Puerto Rico gaining statehood, but DC was very specifically created not to be a state, and the logic behind that decision still holds up well today.
@@matthewpoff2077 But there are more people in DC than in some states.
And all the other territories! (Guam, American Samoa, USVI, etc.)
I hope Florida is treated just as well s PR has
Being half Puerto Rican I find it hilarious how the US ignores Puerto Rico but also saddening
Same
Puerto Rico could be a full state, but chooses not to join. Once they finally do, they'll get the full benefits, but until then they'll have to put up with substandard aide in exchange for lack of financial and political obligations and governmental oversite.
@@MaskedReviews if you talk to most of the guys who come over, theyr pretty cool with the arrangement, they basically get the vast majority of the benifits of being a u.s. state without most of the requirements, up to and including citizen ship. Thats basically why they don't vote to join the union despite having a yearly catastrophe that would benefit from more U.S. aid if they were a state, they dont join us because they like the freedom not because we treat them like a second class citizen.
@@Belial1125 I understand, I was explaining for all the Americans (even those part Puerto Rican) that seem to think Puerto Rico is being mistreated somehow
@@MaskedReviews that was actually meant for nico i just accidently respinded to you instead.
My aunt just told me yesterday that, my cousin just flew out with the team to work on getting the power in Puerto Rico back. Hoping everyone else still in the path comes through alright.
Apparently, power is restored in parts of Guayanilla, but I'm still on generator power for the foreseeable future
@@ranwolf7650 Hope things get better for you sooner than later. And while I can't say how much of a difference one guy will make, I can at least guarantee he's one of the biggest elecrical engineering nerds you've ever heard of and actually loves his job. So I guess that's one tiny, minor positive in a giant situation of suck? I hate it for all y'all stuck in it. Much love from North Carolina
@@kitishy from what I'm seeing, I'm guessing power will be restored in my area within the next 2 weeks or so. Damage to the power lines isn't nearly as bad compared to Maria. I'm lucky this time the only real damage is i lost a couple of Avocado trees and a Caimito tree(not sure what it's called in english)
@@ranwolf7650 I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could have been. But "at least it wasn't as bad as Maria" is a very low bar indeed. That is giving off "I fell down the stairs and broke my legs, but at least I didn't catch on fire" vibes. I'm all for being grateful and focusing on the positives to get through, but you're still allowed to be frustrated about it. I'm sorry about your trees, I'm glad more weren't badly affected but in my admittedly limited understanding of various types of orchards that's a few years minimum for the cultivated replacements to produce. So just because it isn't as bad as it could have been or bad as other people have experienced, it still kinda sucks. So if you wanna a judgment free zone to complain about things you feel like you shouldn't complain about cuz other people had it worse, please come here, no judgment. :) I'm so glad you're experience wasn't the worst it could have been, but don't forget to take care of you.
@@ranwolf7650 costa sur blew up (again)
As a Louisiana native, I really felt that sweet tea moment
As a Texan, I did to
@@emberandfriendsanimations2454 sweet tea is good with any meal, the yuppies just hate haha
As a South Carolinian, I agree.
@@avidreader4140 yes sir!
@@emberandfriendsanimations2454 As a Georgian, I actually participated.
As a North Carolinaian for 22 years, with regards to that sweet bit. HOW DARE YOU CALIFORNIA BEN!! Sweet tea is apart of our history!!
Imagine caring about sugary leaf water.
@@wta1518 bless you heart. *Aggressively sips sweet ice tea*
Amen, fellow Tar Heel! Besides, I hate coffee, so sweet tea is the only thing that wakes me up in the morning.
I was North Carolinian until 1790 and yeah, I felt it too. California just doesn't do tea as well as the South. Earl Grey is nice and all, but it's not the same.
@@avidreader4140 OOop, sounds like someone watches 'It's a southern thing' youtube channel. ;)
NY attitude as usual is what I love and is VERY accurate
Re: oklahoma,the poor guy in the helicopter giving the report did NOT WANT TO
Tried so hard to say he couldnt get a good shot of what it was.
The southern states thinking sweet tea is more important that politics is too accurate I cant-
It really is; as a Texan, can confirm 💀
Sounds like Democrats need to run on a platform of declaring sweet tea our national official drink. Republicans will fuss about it, but they'll mainly be mad they didn't think of it first.
Well, it is. Even Virginia can appreciate some fine sweet tea.
As a born and raised Texan I felt personally attacked by cali insulting sweet tea
Same, sweet tea has got to be the best drink ever. Hands down
@@boredsav5379 it's actually kinda gross. I'd rather drink plain water.
I just sugar with tea
@@MargaritaOnTheRox agreed lol and I live in SC no wonder so many people in this state have diabetes.
What the hell is insulting about describing the main components of the beverage accurately?
I'm surprised Texas didn't mention the truck that spilled beer.
They had one too? We had spilled beer all over the highway in FL just before the hurricane
@@jacquejac1840 free Coors light for everyone.
@@pokerpokerfla I don’t see much wrong with spilling water. 👀
@@YukiLuvsJesus Ha! I like it.
NM is having a lot of trouble keeping track of their animals😂😂😂
Seems to have been a drug/weapons bust. But, as someone in the area of concern, I really do wanna know where that tiger went.
Because we're not used to having any!
@@KalosDestruction November update. No Tiger located.
... It's a big state? (Also, egh... we did find *A* baby tiger earler this year, but it was not THIS missing tiger. So we still got a missing tiger. Just.... letting that out there.)
🤣
Poor Puert Rico, maybe one day you'll get the respect!
Who?
@@Broomer52 💀omg that got a chuckle outta me-
As a Canadian, just found out about the Jones Act yesterday thanks to Phillip DeFranco.. Yall need to do some letter writing campaigns or something to get that shit repealed so the next skit can be Puerto Rico rebuilding
Now that I know there's a "Sweet Tea Festival," I need to book tickets for next year!
There's also a sweet tea half marathon too
Sweet tea festival was in Summerville, so only the low country was focused on that. The upstate has completely been focused on the Clemson NC State game and if it’s gonna be in a hurricane or not
North Carolina (Charoltte) had a meat spill that closed down most of North I-77
South Carolina had an oil tanker rollover about 15 miles South of the Meat spill (not the same day) that closed ALL lanes on South I-77. There are only 2 other bridges across the Catawba river within 30-ish miles. It was taking 2 HOURS to get from Charlotte to Rock Hill, normally a 15-20 minute drive.
Props for New Mexico and our Albuquerque shenanigans. 🤣
We still haven't found the tiger though
@@reddmatheson3035 November update. No tiger.
Ah new Mexico. Land of magical wonders. Like how tf a tiger and a gator were roaming the streets. 🤣
The last bit hit me hard given I'm stuck in a high school till someone fixes my neighborhood.
As a SC resident, you had me at Sweet Tea Fest
Hey look at that I caught one on time!
Anyways thanks for keeping me up on the news Ben!
As a Minnesotan im glad you found a way to bring us in.
2:19
My friend from another country (a non-native English speaker) messaged me and asked me if I was okay after the flood. I asked her wtf she was talking about and she sent me a screen shot of a post mentioning surviving the Alfredo flood.
😂 I told her we were okay
Noticing the changes is a fun game! The font in the name tags, for instance. Was the lack of teleport noise a choice or a mistake?
I hope the noise comes back
@@avidreader4140 Me too, I was making the log in/out noises in my head
Update from a Floridian: Doing fine. Hurricane made a mess, street signals are down, but looks like the damage in my city is minimal. Kids are already back to playing at the local playground. Just need to clean up and we will be good as new.
oh god I bet Texas will never let Oklahoma live that down
as we speak my neighbors have taken floaties and are in the flooded parts of my neighborhood floating likes it's a lazy river. hurricane ian is very entertaining
Is the water safe to swim in though? Just be cautious, you never know what's going to pop out of those waters...including bacteria.
When life gives you lemons...
@@rhodawatkins4516 u use it to float in a flood
Ouch hope Puerto Rico’s alright.
Minnesota doesn't need to spill lube on the highway. We have enough lakes and rivers to fish in as it is 🤣
Oklahoma wins the “Most WTF News Story” for this week.
georgia actually makes it longer than one line this time 😂 but we are very passionate about our sweet tea
This past two weeks have been really stressful for me, that I haven't been able to watch most of your uploads recently.
So receiving a new notification from your channel, made me really happy today!
I find myself grinning from ear to ear while watching your wonderful, detestable and chaotic characters clash with each other at the table! As most debates in real life aren't that fun nor cheerful to watch. :]
He did SC justice honestly. Between the Carolina\clemson shirt and the mention of sweet tea he really wrapped our state up pretty nicely. Only thing he's missing is the costal haven we are for a good few near dead traditional African language dialects (Gullah particularly being repopulerized by Sunn m'cheaux). Good work overall!
God I love New York
And it’s 90% true
This episode is as good as usual with the exception of lacking sound when state joins/leaves, preferred it with the sound effect tbh.
Poor Puerto Rico come on be nice to him for once guys!
wonder if Florida is gonna be doing okay next episode
Honestly, considering how Florida has acted before, I get the feeling that almost the entire state would need to flood for him to admit he’s not fine after a hurricane
I get the feeling Florida won't even realize it happened
@@emberandfriendsanimations2454 As a (former) Florida native. I can only think FL is used to it.
@@Krescentwolf yea probably
@@emberandfriendsanimations2454 it did
As relocated New Yorker, to the midwest (from upstate)... I never thought we were as warm and caring as your characterization thank you!
as a south Carolinian i can confirm that i care more about sweet tea than politics. speaking of which, theres this ice cream place in pawley's island that sells sweet tea ice cream. i got that and some lemonade ice cream on time in the same contain as some strawberry ice cream. i ate the strawberry one first and then the sweet tea and lemonade ice creams fused together. I then has arnold palmer ice cream :D
I have to try that. I'm a South Carolinian too. But now I want to try that ice cream place.
I will absolutely have to take a train to South Carolina sometime soon, that sounds amazing.
It's official: Ben gets me more news about my own state (OK) than my own local news. I did NOT hear that about that truck spill!
The news report was hilarious! Happened on I40 going through Yukon.
I still love that you keep your videos vertical for this
Great Video!! Glad to see Puerto Rico is back. All we need know is Hawaii back
In our hearts or in out stomachs, the true place where alligators belong.
Don't forget by our sides as our emotional support animals. 🤣
As a pureblood Louisianan i stand by the sweet bit
So glad PR made it in!!
The fact that I learned this from you & not my own news channels in OK 🤣
Having seen this on the Patreon earlier, I was REAL nervous about what was on the thumbnail for this video!😂😂😂
Graham of SC has long been an embarrassment not only to his state, but several southern states.
i wonder if california ever gets tired of being the wesley crusher of the country
The Puerto Rico reference took me a second. Biden better start his trip there.
I continue to amaze myself being g caught up in all the "different" people at the table!
You missed the cases of beer that spilled in Florida last week.
This was incredible, from the trucks to PR at the end
Be safe Florida.. love to ya's. Get well soon ;)
Lube was my guess for what Oklahoma spilled.
Why do I only learn Minnesota news from this series
Why does no one ever tell me about these things
The states being so supportive to MN with the annoyance level is unexpectedly sweet.
Oklahoma really knows how to party if they needed a whole truck full of fun times....😄😄😄
0:37 california be like: ive done it but at what cost?
Agreed, Sweet Tea is more important than politics.
'Surprised that none of the other states questioned why PR was there.
In Ohio right near the PA border a truck recently crashed carrying milk. Milk spilled all over the highway shutting it down completely.
as a puertorrican i feel 100% represented
family is getting hit by Ian now, they got hit down in tampa, and we got hit down in Puerto Rico. Lots of my family down in PR don't have any power right now. a few do and have called us to tell us they're okay, but passed that.... sucks.
Here in Dallas there was a truck that spilled canned veggies just a couple weeks ago on U.S. 75, but I guess there were too many already for that to make the cut.
There seem to have been a lot of truck spills in Texas recently. Maybe someone should look into that?
thanks for delivering yet again Ben!
Love it already.
Exactly that was one of the worst hurricanes I’ve ever seen or been through I am so glad we got on the outskirts of it it’s almost came straight for us I live in Tampa thank God I feel so sorry for all those directly hit that would’ve wiped out Tampa Bay
California deserves a Bless Your Heart about the sweet tea.
As a Puerto Rican in Oklahoma I had to listen to the last part a few times. Such a quick swing from raunchy to dark humor.
This is how I get my news and I have regrets
Poor Oklahoma, they knew what would happen when they said what was in the truck
Don't worry Rico, Florida is going to be right behind you on that.
nothing makes me happier than the p.r. bit, it's soso accurate
Table news baby!!
Can't believe Texas didn't say he's seen a tiger. They are very commonly trafficked here, if you wander around your local sketchy warehouses long enough you'll find some baby one in a cage somewhere
The best way to receive news
As a Georgian I can confirm that sweet tea is indeed the most important thing over all else next to football and coke-a-cola
I, a Texan, visited California once a few years back with a bit of family. All they had around the area we stayed was Raspberry Tea.
No Sweet. Just Raspberry.
And every time (a total of 3), the servers kept looking at me confused, I felt like I was being judged, like they thought I was the dumbest person in the vicinity.
To this day, I STILL hold a grudge against the state because of the lack of Sweet Tea, so when California dissed the beverage here, the memories of the looks and chunks of floating Raspberries resurfaced and got me heated for a hot sec! 😂💀
All in all, this was an amazing skit, and I can’t wait for the next one!
As an someone from SC if you really think we care about politics more then tea. Hahaha bless your heart
Bro I love this channel thanks for your news channel
Sweet Tea yes!
Finally someone remembered that Puerto Rico exists and it's a territory of the US.
Thank you 🙏 😂 🙏
As a southerner, (from Florida) sweet tea is VERY important
That’s alright, Missouri had a tanker trucker catch fire today.
God, it took me a moment to realize that was PR but DAMN when it hit me it HIT me
Good to see Puerto Rico again
Finally, you mentioned NM's alligator debacle. Though, I kinda wanted New Mexico to grill Florida on that one.
Best one yet!
Thank you for the corn kid song. I needed that in my life.
I laughed so hard at this! Beautiful!
Nice to see a PR cameo.
