When Mark asked him if he loved it in in KY, That pause and glance downward before that soft “I do - but I don’t,” was the most satisfying , Appalachian way to show appreciation and contempt simultaneously. I wish people from other regions of the country understood these internal conflicts with Appalachians. Our fleeing sense of comfort tied down to our familiar kinships and centuries of generational decline. This guy gets it.
Are a lot of you guys like this in the hollers of Kentucky and WV. This is why America get made fun of lol
@@XtraTerrestrial_519 America is a bully country with a population that is or has become largely undereducated, with no political will to fix its problems. That's why it's not held in high regard.
Consider yourself lucky that you don't know what it's like living here. There's no store you can just walk to. It's very hard
@@kathyking5372I'm in northern Pennsylvania and pretty rural. The nearest store is Dollar General and it's about 7 miles away. When you run out of something you are out of it for a while. There are no corner stores and most people that live in cities that cry about food deserts have no idea that they can still hop on a bus and get groceries. A 4 block walk is a hardship to them and the bleeding hearts cry about it while us rural folk shrug, tighten our belts and do without til we get a ride to the store next week.
@@ddz1375 yes! That's how it is where I live too I live in the Blue ridge mountains of western NC when we go to the store you better make a list and hope you have enough money to get what you need to do you till you can get out again there is a lot of times I have to put stuff back when I get to the check out cause it's don't have enough money the worst part is I'm usually just a few dollars too short like if I had just $20 more dollars I could of fed my family for another night instead I had to put it back makes me just want to cry just trying to survive my husband is disabled and on oxygen and I don't drive also help take care of my two grand daughters and living in a rural area on top of it it's just a constant struggle to survive
Literally Cousin Eddie from Xmas vacation. 😂
Ha ha. This is so funny - and true!!!
🤣🤣🤣
If they don’t get the reference they shouldn’t be here 😂
LITERALLY 😆😆😆
That there is an Are Vee, Clark.
Mark, if you read the comment section, please bring him back. We like him. He's a good storyteller.
Great interview! I love how Mark lets his guests speak without interrupting. I am here for part 2,3,4...
Lols 😂😂
What a character this guy is! Possibly one of the best interviews you've done. When he took that eye out it reminded me of a friend of my father who had a glass eye. He'd put it in his pocket and say "He was keepin' an eye on his change".
In “American Dad” Steve comes upon his grandfather (who wears an eye patch) sleeping and there is a weird puckered hole where he usually has the patch and he says “sorry, I have to air it out at night or else I get eye mushrooms”
Never will I think of glass eyes or eye patches without thinking of that quote 😂
@@feelthejoythanks, now I'm stuck with that image for life.
@@Joseph-sv2hk as am I. That show is funny af and I highly recommend
I'm a native from the tip top of the Appalachian Mountains. The things that you don't get about us hillbillies is no matter where we are from we'll look out for each other. We may fight like brothers but if you speak the language and understand the culture... your never going to go hungry or be homeless. You may be from 100 miles away and have never met but if you need a hand it will be there.
You all are dirty as fuck, and no you won't go hungry. Welfare checks everywhere.
Yes we do❤❤
@Mimi19715 yes indeed
I am proud of being born and bred Appalachia.People will never truly understand unless you were born here.🩷
@@EuleneWages4644 you're proud of that cesspool of low intelligence trash?
I can smell cigarettes, fresh cut grass, and gasoline while watching this. In a good way. Reminds me of growing up in the south.
We are all aspiring to be as perfect as you .
Don't forget the orange kool-aid
@@BLWTV it was not derogatory. I love those smells. Reminds me of growing up in the deep south.
My yard still smells like that. It always will.
@@THEALCOHOLICdAYTRADER-vd5tisend me a bottle of the air.
Mark, we need a Picture in Picture, just to see your facial expressions. 😂
That is a Great idea 👍
Yes. Definitely
I agree. I always wonder what Mark is looking like as the ppl are talking.
Yessssssss!!
Definitely ❤
When he said you got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything, Mark had no idea he was talking about the Aaron Tippin song.
The laugh is too good and the way Mark asks a simple question and he goes to town and back without answering.🤣 Hope you find sobriety Eddie Joe.
This is one of the best interviews.Funny and entertaining
The Appalachians are by far the most interesting interviews to me! Ty Mark
Yes indeed we good people 👍🏻
I agree. When I see an Appalachian interview I’m on it
Yes I agree!!
@@Monica-gene1 👍🏻💯
Totally agree!..they are the most interesting and most all of them are fabulous story tellers! Blessings❤
I love the Appalachian interviews. They are always such a wonderful reminder of the amazing populations within the US that truly struggle to get from day to day because of the lack of opportunities. I love the Appalachian people.
“I was a pretty sexy guy back then, not that I’m not anymore, but I really had it going on then “…..
Loved it
😂 This is one of the most entertaining interviews of all time! Great stuff! ❤
I’d say. But yes so full of sh!t. He lies so much he believes his own lies. Says he hooked up with his sex we teacher and was sexy and built like a brick Sh!t house
Eddie Joe has been added to the favorites list!!!!
Absolutely
Mine to ❤
Great interview. I didn’t want to end. I would love to hear more from this guy
I love the shaking of the ice in the glass of tea. Its a very country thing to do. My old old time kin folks always did that to signify satisfaction.
I have drank many an ice tea out of that style of canning jar / mason jar like he had, growing up in the south, it was a glass, a jar, a vase, or anything you needed it to be ,and poor folks always had a lot of em.
Excellent interview, Eddie Joe. Thank you for sharing your life!
Even though I’m from Southeastern Kentucky and hear these stories all the time anyways 😂 these Appalachian interviews are my favorite ❤
You gotta love the happy go lucky guys in the world. I hope he’s able to grow the cool kids group into a large organization and help the kids in his town.
That Randy Quaid without the beard
Randy Quaid is actually batshit insane though
🤣🤣🤣
This Guy literally lives day by day.Happy go lucky….wish him well One eye warrior!❤
Yeah, off tax-payer's dollars. He's a useless pimple on the ass of society.
This guy has more stories then a library
Been everywhere but the electric chair and seen everything but the wind.
When your in jail..that's all you have is time for stories
Fascinating stories and probably a loooot of lies. But still worth hearing!
*than a library
Man, I like him! I about hit the floor when he took out his eye! 😂😂😂 I'd love to hear more from him! Great interview!
Bring this guy back he has some stories to tell
That's ok..
Dude was boring and a liar, mostly.
Mark every morning you post at 6 my time right when I start work . 😊 I love listening to all the videos man. Vary interesting your doing a really good thing.
Great interview. Thank you for sharing your life Eddie Joe!
👍🏻👍🏻
If the right people want you gone, you’re gone. Sad but true
I love these Appalachian interviews!
“Breast implants, Z28 Camaro and T Tops!!” Gotta love this guy. 😂😂
Hilarious
When he said " u hear me?" I hollered
LoL
LOL😂
🤣🤣
It’s tough in Eastern Kentucky when it involves economic opportunities however it’s still a safe environment for someone to start a family. There’s no gangs or random shootings like in other impoverished paces across America. However there is individuals that will snatch the life from you if you cross them with negative intentions. There’s just not much too lose since you didn’t have much anyway. People in Appalachia are monumentally big on respect. They give so they think they should receive as well. It’s a fascinating culture.
Where there are drugs, there is always crime. It is FAR from safe.
Eddie joe is by far my favorite interview so far.
This guy was awesome good attitude. Wish him nothing but the best for him.🇨🇦🙏
Wish this guy all the best!!
And yall thought The Dukes of Hazzard was fiction. 😂
who are you to say if this guy is lying about it all or not? Don't judge when you ain't perfect lil dude
@@ProgressiveGoldbug 😂😂😂😂
@@burnzy18 Calm down Karen. Take a Lorathet.
Seems like a decent guy just trying to get through life. Reminds me of a lot of people from SWPA. When he took his eye out I lost it. I hope he can kick the addiction and just be. Good luck Eddie Joe!
Agree about SW PA it's also Appalachia here.
He seems pretty cool. Too bad about the drug addiction. Hopefully one day he'll get sober.
I've got relatives in Appalachia, eastern Kentucky, specifically. He reminds me of so many of them. And what he said is true, about liking living there, but not; it's how it is.
What an interesting character I really enjoyed that!
Great interview here!!
Great interview Mark:) thank you 😊
I want more of this guy mark
I’m from Kentucky and this is pretty representative of a large portion of people in eastern Kentucky. Western Kentucky is extremely different
Good to know, we will not go to Western Kentucky.
I'm from Tennessee and Kentucky is Kentucky what a dumb statement
You’re exactly right about that I live in south central Kentucky and my son lives western Kentucky and it’s all totally different from eastern Kentucky . There’s a big difference in different parts of the state it’s mostly farmers and people like that here in my part of Kentucky . But about 80 miles up the road from here in Louisville there’s nothing but crime there you couldn’t pay me to live there I don’t like even go to visit my family that lives there ! But Kentucky is actually a beautiful state and it’s got a lot of history here .
@@user-tv4ff7td4j you clearly haven’t lived in Kentucky
@@thematriarchy2075 why wouldn’t you go to western Kentucky?
Great interview!
I know this dude, he is for real. No acting here. That club he was talking about was across the road from my inlaws.
I couldn't understand what he was saying about his uncle's young wife what happened to her?
@@kathyking5372yeah he talked in circles about that for sure. He seems like he’s quite full of bs to me.
Dude is a riot.My first cousins cousin.We hooked up.Zlol
@@adspursounds about right. Awful genetics for a reason lmao
What was it? A whore house?
Shitters full. LOVE THIS STORYTELLER. WE GOTTA GET PART DEUX
Wow What a treat for this channel, a whole couple weeks without a delusional transmission
Lol
women and teeth have a lot in common …
if you ignore them they will leave .
🤣🤣🤣
Feel better now?
He is the funniest guy! Seems sincere.
Always great videos 👍
Thanks for Sharing Eddie Joe🙏💙
Eddie is awesome and a fun guy! His stories seem very candid and honest
I have known a few guys like this, an absolute blast to be around, salt of the earth, would help you in a split second…
🤔……indeed.
But don’t cross ‘em - there’s hell to pay, even if you didn’t do something wrong and/or intentionally - if they just think you did something to hurt them or their kin….you best get out of town - and don’t come back.
I could listen to this guy all day!
Great interview Mark😊
He still lives in a place where the judge slips out the back door of the lady’s house with the red porch light.Hes not dumb by no stretch and what he’s telling you about the law is truth.Kentucky especially on the eastern side of Kentucky lives in a few pockets and band together,if they want you,they will figure out a way of getting you.
It ain't just in Kentucky it like that in other Appalachia states aswell
@@donnaallison7462 I’m sure,I was just speaking by experience but I live in Tennessee but I’ve been fortunate here lol
Love your channel mark ! ❤
Me too:)
Eddie is entertaining and I could listen all day great interview 😍
Eddie Joe said he was 195 pounds and built like a brick shit house.💀🤣🤣🤣
He ain’t lying about the police in KY. Especially the fkn troopers. They’re all so sus and motivated. Those Commonwealth laws don’t make sense.
Facts I live in paintsville
@@JohnnyDagburnGoble home of Chris Stapleton, famous blues man.
@@Policearegood-mt6kxJohnny famous too...for being a retard 😂
"Poor thing is over weight" 🤣 I chuckled at that.
This guy sure is a character,😂, and a hell of a storyteller!
Great interview
Lol it was just posted a min ago....😂😂
I think english subtitles are necessary since not everyone was born in an english speaking country.
@Brandon
Obviously Mark doesn't have the time or resources to make subtiles.
However CZcams has but it's an automatic AI thing doing it.
It works well with people who talk plain American or English.
But when people have special dialects, like from the South, or people from gangs, the subtiles are just as difficult to understand as the people who are being interviewed.
I'm Norwegian and two years ago I had a real struggle understanding people like this guy but after listening to many interviews, it's got a lot easier.
But try the CZcams subtiles, you may find it more useful than I did!
best video ever! 😆
@@leneo1731clever of you to use dialects as reference to understanding English deeper. English is such a slang-driven language I can’t imagine learning it in life retrospectively. Kudos✌️
Thanks for sharing your story Eddie Joe. Very interesting, you are a good story teller. 🙂🙂
Loved this interview. He had great stories and I believed all of them. Hope to see more talks with Eddie.
Great storytelling!
I could listen to him all day ..
Telling his stories. I absolutely love them. I love this interview..im from eastern Kentucky...staffordsville ky area. Moved away to ohio years ago. All of my family still lives there. ..ky is and always be home to me ❤❤
These are the kind of stories I love to listen to!! I bet he’s a hoot!!!
People talking down on this guy like you all are better . I doubt he would do you good folks like that . Why dont all them on there high horse and do an interview to show iff your shining personality .
That’s right
👍🏻👍🏻
Not usually a fan of these Appalachia episodes, but I’m glad I listened to this one.
I would like to add, I wouldn't trade a plate of pinto beans, or " soup beans", fried taters & cornbread for anything.
With a big slice of onion!!!!
@@tammylewis9324 I am starving for this now. Notes for the grocery list.
This man has a jolly ole soul✌️👌💥💯🔥🤙 People like this guy usually are remembered positivity after their long gone because their positive BIG spirit and this guy could definitely light up room . Great interview Mark 🤙🔥💯💥👌✌️😁😎
I was convicted of attempted murder.... Did 281 days total....
The Commonwealth Is Amazing
Love this guy.The stories are great.💯👍🏻
Agree
I enjoyed listening to him; he was entertaining. You should consider bringing him back, Mark.
this guy is an actual inspiration...
Oh Lord! Eddie Joe attorney at law.
Cases-1
Cases lost-1
Bahahaha😂
LMAO.
Bring Eddie Joe back😊
His clutching his mason jar of moonshine is a nice touch.
Yes! Get back with him. I’d like to hear more : )
Me too:)
This is a dude I could hang out with.👍😊
Great interview! Very entertaining! Just make sure you have hip waders close by as you view this.
Next county over from Cousin Eddie! 😀 Lots of those guys around! Please bring him back! One of the best interviews yet!
I lived in a decent neighborhood in Winchester, Kentucky for three years back in the 2000s and I think almost every adult there was on some kind of painkiller except me, and most of them had good jobs at local factories.
More Eddie please.
Love the comment about Eddie in Xmas Vacation, too funny😂
Being from Appalachia myself, he reminds me of many people from small towns down here. He seems sincere and genuine. I wanna see more from Eddie! #smalltownnwga
This guy is great!
This dude is the real deal. Lit one cigarette with the other! Smokes 2 packs a day and only uses a lighter once in the morning 😂
Something tells me Eddie Joe was Hell on Wheels Back in the day! 😁 Seems like good people.
Hahaha great way to describe it. Totally agree.
I love living in Appalachian ❤❤❤ We are truly genuine people. Kentucky will forever be my HOME.
You gota love this dude..
I love this guy
Best one yet 😂!!
That first line that he said had me😅😅😅
I raised my part of hell lol
