I got excited for a moment seeing Ontario. Then I realized it is the city in California, not the province in Canada
Minnesota gets no love? It was only -20 last week...
Which Wiseguys in Salt Lake? The gateway?
@@tonyimboden we need a city named california
In Wisconsin we had a whole week below -50in some parts
“I don’t do second aircrafts” NEW YORK!!!!! That was hilarious, NGL
It's been 22 years since 9/11 & that is the first joke I've ever heard in relation to that day.
I was like "benjamin!"
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 that's the first 9/11 joke you ever heard? Jeez where do you live.
@@nlm2nd YUP! You AND me both honey...you and me both. I had the double furrowed brow at him and arms were all akimbo too! Funny...yes but in a painful way cuz I heard the same calls ppl talk about when they speak about getting the call. I heard it come over the scanners cuz I lived with one in our house. #Taino #Mohawk #BrooklynBornBaby #LongIslandRaised #911FamilyMemberS

The fact that I didn't saw it coming made it even funnier
California caring about Austin being cold is adorable
I ship it, Calstin.
Austin is the closest thing California has to a friend.
Austin is basically California's child with Texas, since most of Austin is just transplanted Californians
Austifornia vs Caliyork is about to get heated, innit?
We were cold in Dallas too but we had power
That 9/11 joke was unexpected
"I don't do second aircrafts"
DAMN!! I missed that the first time around ...
... and I watched the second tower fall from 30 blocks away.
It's been 22 years since 9/11 & that is the first joke I've ever heard in relation to that day.
So was 9/11

As a black man the detail to filling the quota and being on of the good ones was the best part. Super aware. Good stuff my man.
Even after over 20 years, that NY aircraft joke had me go “daaaayum…too soon!” 😂
Same. I heard that and went "Daaaayum!"
1 to 5 years is too soon. Longer than that is debatable, depending who's talking about it
…I feel stupid. Is that second aircraft thing a reference to the second tower being hit?
@@stevemc01 yeah, it’s a 9/11 reference
@@ContagiousSponge *As long as it's not submersible-based
Shocked you didn't have Montana be the one trying to shoot down the balloon since it was over him
Montana understands gun safety, he's more interested in guns as tools rather than as weapons of mass destruction.
@@dinoknight6538 You know there was at least one group of them drinking off their back porch looking at that balloon having the talk they could easily take it with their elk rifle.
The Southern States were issuing balloon permits in large caliber only and unrestricted limits on bag count.
I had a lot of neighbors talking about how they wanted to shoot it down. I'm in montana.
@@goldenegg7447 lol I want to know how many people actually pointed guns at it.
As a Michigander, I'll defend the southern states struggling with cold. Their homes aren't built to handle the cold and for the most part they don't really have the clothes for it. Unfortunately with climate change problems, they should consider looking into insulation and, in Texas's case, the govt should get their heads out of their asses and either fix their power grid or come back to the national grid.
Thanks for defending us, we are just not built for that, figuratively and literally
I'm an Iowan but live in Texas now. Cold is a relative thing and what may be typical north kills people in the south. The Northern states would fry under what we went through last summer. Imagine the crops after 4 months of zero rain and over two months straight of 100 plus weather and 3 of over 90.
@@wilddogs2656 Well put!
@@wilddogs2656 I can imagine
Arizona
Insulation is good for cold, but bad for heat. Many houses in my area (LA) were designed for attic blowers and convection vents. It is near impossible to heat these houses in cold weather because they were designed to cool themselves in hot weather. They are designed to be comfortable in 105°F 98% humidity, not 50°F 70% humidity
Ps. 70% is dry for us.
Having moved from Memphis to California, I was gutted the first time I walked into a beauty shop, and the lady said they wouldn't do my hair. Said it takes too much product and too much effort. I was with friends, we all had appointments, and I was so embarrassed to be the only one turned away. I spent months trying to find a shop to just give me a trim. Ended up finding someone who charged more than $100 for a wash and go. I started doing my own hair and I'm not great at it, but at least I don't feel like an bug under a microscope.
California and Austin’s relationship is a drama I didn’t know I needed.
And New Hampshire is so silent he makes the vacuum of Space sound like a 1920’s jazz parlor!
Considering I watch Your Honor, haven’t had the best view of how Louisiana treats people of color. Glad there’s a crown act
Great video as always Ben!
Sad there has to be a crown act. We’re all going to he*l

I'm from. New Hampshire, we got hit with that "huge winter storm" and we were fine. Everyone else is weak too cold
I love how NH is just chilling there. Pun intended. You captured us well.
For real. I'm also from NH and yeah I feel like he captured us pretty well. We're a pretty quiet state that never makes waves or ever gets mentioned.
It was -120° wind chill on Mount Washington last Friday, so, NH has every right. Made me appreciate the "balminess" of -17° in upstate NY.
@@Laura-it2zb nearly shorts weather!
-22 at my house 8 miles from the base of mt Washington
@@andrewhynes5417 Was that Friday? Mount Washington can be wild at the peak ... but, -120° 😳
"I'm one of the good ones." I died!
🤣🤣🤣
If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, I would have had my student loans paid off earlier.
I would have a million marbles
Ouch!!!!, you earn this 👍
"I'm so cold. Oh my God we need to save him!" I literally laughed so hard I cried for 5 minutes
Thanks so much for enunciating so clearly behind the beep. Made what you were actually saying even funnier.
Yeah, I'm glad I could read almost every word 😂
A skill I envy, and yet will never acquire...
What'd he say? I ain't that good at reading mouth movements
@@MrJJandJim Watch the hands, they say it all.
@@erinpenn7745 I ain't good with sign language, either...
Nah, just pullin your leg, lol!
this episode is weirdly wholesome. feels more like banter than an argument
As a New Hampshirite, we'd sigh at any southern state saying their cold, but sympathize with the more northern states specially with how cold it got last week (wind chills from -40 to -57 depending on how north you live). We'd also brag about Mt Washington hitting a new record-low air temperature at -46.9F also shattering the coldest national wind chill record at -108.4F (previous was -102.7).
Wind chill of -62⁰F? How is that possible?
People from Arizona: its cold
Meanwhile the weather: 20000
@@benjaminoechsli1941 mountains or something, I haven’t the slightest clue
That's a dry cold, come join us during the next cold snap. It's not cold till it's 98% humidity and cold
I love how New Hampshire wants to say something but doesn't. lol
Frostival is a good time. My favorite part is the coffee and cocoa crawl. Local businesses partner with local coffee shops, you get a mug, and parade around downtown in below zero temperatures 🥶
I appreciate NH just silently glaring at them complaining bout the cold. Last weekend it was as low as -50 in Maine
My folks were saying it was -46 on the coast; I'm rarely glad to miss winter at home but I think I'm better off this year
Don't I know it, it got down to the 30s here in Charleston this week!
... I miss Nebraska weather so much. Way more fun.
I sweat too much to live in the south.
@micahphilson same beach weather is so crazy here in Myrtle Beach. Who would've known it would be in the 70s in early February?
And -108 wind chill in NH.
I love all of the northern states ragging on Texas about it being cold. 🤣
Lol they're going to act like overgrown children who didn't put on the power and a light jacket we're going to treat them like children, oh wait the texans are children.
Don't worry, We'll get back at them when they can't handle anything over 90 degrees.
@@anthonyjohnson9946 lol we can take the heat too. We prepared for it because we saw it coming, as you southerners should've seen as well. I'd also like to point out that neither can texans handle over 90.
@@dinoknight6538 Texans can handle heat. Their power grid, not so much.
@@anthonyjohnson9946 good luck with that when it comes to Massachusetts, we can handle below freezing and above 90 (when it happens) almost equally (we handle the cold better)
Amazing video as usual. I can relate to the cold. It was -40 here earlier in the week.
-56
-40 and still went to a hockey game.
As someone from AZ can't tell if I'd freeze or everything around me would melt around me in that temp
I love that Alaska didn't say a word about what its lowest temp has been. He's not concerned about getting bragging rights
You mean the ones he gets during winter?
I love The Table. It teaches me about those crazy southern neighbours of ours.
I like the idea of every month we get a new offscreen POCity, can't wait to see what we get in April for NAAHM, fingers crossed it's Dearborn or Southwest making an appearance again
Yes! Bring in Dearborn! I grew up there 😁
It was nice to see Austin again.
I'm in an Austin suburb, we didn't lose power but internet was down for several days and my mom works from home, so that was hard. She had to go to my uncle's house, use his wifi to work. Folks in Austin proper have had it real bad. We mostly had a lot of tree damage out here from ice.
I love how NH was glaring when you talked about cold. Especially with Mt Washington had a windchill of -108°
Lol perfect! NH is not impressed with your cold when he won the cold lottery!
Love this video, one of my favorites so far. Literally walked out of class to watch it lol.
Hope to see you in south Florida sometime soon!
"I gotta get a bigger gun" gave me the biggest laugh of the day >.
The way I cackled every time New Hampshire made an appearance when everyone else whined about the cold!! 🤣🤣🤣
New Hampshire appreciates the exhausted stares of disbelief
As a native of New York, as soon as he said, "I don't do second aircrafts...." I had to sigh.
yay my favorite show is back
"I actually just don't have a Thyroid"
I've never felt more seen lol 💜
I love how I can only read lips when it comes to threats like the whole beep when Gov. got threatened for not knowing who Flint Rasmussen is.
Please tell us ! The only thing I got is 'shove it up your ass'
I got the first half
You want to share with the class? Lol. I got the first part but not the rest.
As a non-American I had to do a little googling for ND because I didn't recognise it. I always forget that there are two Dakotas.
I’ve been here my whole life (27 years) and I still forget sometimes.
As someone currently living in New Hampshire, that is a very accurate depiction about how I feel about the weather.
Thank you for talking about the Crown act!! It still hasn't passed federally and we need it! Black ppl still getting fired or kicked out of school all cause of their hair. We need to pressure our government to pass it.
It was good to see Texas introduce a Crown act last year.
Fargo!! In a Table News episode! I feel so honored!
We still have a scammer in the comments! Everybody remember, don't message any profile that looks like Bens, but has "text me on telegram" in front of it! There is NOT a giveaway.
Living in NH, I can proudly say NH was on point in this episode.
I just googled who Flint Rasmussen is. For those wanting an answer, he's a rodeo clown, and that is exactly what it sounds like from what I can tell. There's literally photos of this man in clown makeup and a cowboy hat.
Rodeo clowns are there for two reason, entertainment, and safety. Yes they are part of the rodeo safety crew, and they got the dangerous job of distracting the bulls and stallions when a rider gets thrown off.
@@thejestor9378 Ohh, that makes a lot more sense with some context, thanks man.
Thanks for the research! I live in Montana and I still didn't know who that was.
"I don't do second aircrafts"
god damn he really went there didn't he.
Proud of you, Louie. (I’ve lived here all my life and have never said that. I think I’m having an existential crisis!)
Yesss, love to see the inclusion of Memphis with TN.
Glad I live in the part of Austin with power so I can see this 😆
I literally moved from Austin to Alaska and I can confirm the winters here are so much more tolerable BECAUSE WE HAVE POWER.
Apparently, people without thyroids have cold intolerance. Glad Ben is in California.
It all depends on how long it’s been without one and how well their medication is working with them. Not had one for 6 years and the medication is doing great. Just wish I didn’t live in New Hampshire.
Every single one of these is brilliant and please never stop. Thank you.
Your skits are next level, dude! One of the best short humor things on the internet!!
I'm from Nebraska: you don't realize just how warm "cold" is in Texas. Feels like Autumn.
I was so sad to hear about Flint retiring. He's been a staple for the PBR since u could remember
CaliAusten with a touch of Swamp OTP💜
As always, Ben is my favourite character when he shows up!
That sigh from New Hampshire was beautiful. It's the only state that has seen snow fall in all 12 months. Heck, I've personally seen it snow in all but July and August in NH.
Montana has had snow in every month as well. It's rare in July & August but it's happened.
@@robinrennick2948 I must have seen an old record book. Thanks.
Wow is Montana a little cranky or is just me. & will someone please Save Austin! Poor sweet baby is freezing to death! The rest of them can freeze but not Sweet Austin!
Also that second plane joke from New York is the. First joke I've ever heard in relation to that day & it's been 22 years since 9/11.
Other jokes have been around, but to me it was too soon... or they ... just were not funny. This was good. I agree about Austin! And New Hampshire just sitting there... glaring... pricelesss.
@@d4r4butler74 I've never heard any of them before. Question: any idea why New Hampshire is so pissed off?
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 They're REALLY cold..
Yeah well, 9/11 jokes tend to crash and burn, so it’s not too good
Montanan here, we're always cranky here.
That opening skit is pure 24 karat gold
I live in New Hampshire and I wasn’t even aware it got that cold
"Hi, Austin!" 👋👋
lol
You missed a "back and to the left." reference with Texas shooting.
nice
I've this this multiple times. But the sound guy needs a raise and promotion.
#scam
Thank you for including Utah!! Please continue bringing him in!!!
I really enjoy these clips. Thank you sooo much!
When the balloon went over Charlotte NC where I live my dad was like 🤔 and was glued to his phone following it and screaming WHY HAVEN’T SHOT IT DOWN YET 😂
Best cold open ever
2:10 yeah I feel like that too. I recently moved from Seattle to Austin, and when school was canceled last week, all I could think was, "ha! Texan wimps!"
This was a very good one thank you
"I gotta get a bigger gun." and then gov's reaction. 🤣🤣🤣
I currently live pretty near Bear Lake, and wow was that cold front unexpected. I don’t keep up with the news/weather forecast much, so I was out one evening just walking back through town from getting together with some friends and went to check the temperature and it was like -15! Obviously some places/people are less familiar with the cold than I am (winter’s probably my favorite month, snow and freezing temps are much preferable to the 90+ we get in the summer) but that was bone-chilling weather. At least we’re a little more prepared for it than Texas has been the last few years, I can’t imagine going without power for multiple days like that. The few times my power’s cut out, we’ve been able to get it back up within the day.
“Just don’t expose any skin or be outside for more than 10 minutes, and teachers, please do be understanding and excuse any student tardiness resulting from the weather.”
-my school district, -25 degrees.
New Hampshire silently judging all these cold folks who think Mt. Washington didn't set any records.
it surprises me that this was the first 9/11 joke on this show
California to Austin:
"We have to save him 😥"
California to Texas:
I say let it die! Let it die~ Let it die~ 🎶🎵
I love that you had New Hampshire in there when talking about the cold much appreciated
Minnesota needed to bring up The Winter Carnevale. Yeah we're that crazy we celebrate Winter
huh????
I sometimes wonder if other countries have their own versions of Table News.
Not Australia, we're to laid back to give a Flying F🤬ck
@@زاااااااااااااااااااااا Welcome to Australia where if it doesn't try to kill you, then it probably hasn't meet you yet.
Kind of wondering if Ireland would be a part of the UKs table news, Europe’s table news or if they’d have their own with all the counties.
You’re content is dope Ben. I’d love to see more CO and MO
Minnesota!!! And it’s good news , even better
Your videos make my day thank you
@BenBrainard778 wow I love scams the real ben brainard is @Ben_Brainard
The New York joke made me think yeah I understand New York I understand that was a rough day for all of us. But yes it was like a very cold week. I love how California was wanting to help Texas and trying to convince Utah to help. Last year when that winter storm hit we Utahns sent our plumbers to help out with the pipes.
We made it to 10th coldest on record here in RI. First time in five years we have hit negatives. Not too bad, we were prepared. Worst was the upper part of the state had some power outages. Had some branches and trees fall, not that bad. The wind chill did suck though.
Utah wearing short sleeves in -68 degrees is a very Utah thing to do.
"I don't do second aircrafts" LOST IT XD
Love the new renovations to the "UI"
New Hampshire in the background just sick of theor shit. I'm so grateful you were able to make this one!
almost need to have your GOV character have a technical glitch every time he is "one of the good ones."
Meanwhile in the Carolinas: "What's with all this balloon junk?"
wow, the bit from NY and aircrafts was spot on
I'm just surprised you didn't say anything about what happened here in Ohio, (in a small town named East Palistine, about 20 mins from where I grew up) on the 4th, a train got derailed, that was carrying, the same type of chemicals used to make PVC, and caught fire, the whole town basically had to be evacuated.
Love the Casual -108° you threw in there
new york dipping when he hears "there's a second one" had me dying.
Yup. I'm definitely new hampshire. Anytime anyone complains about the cold I remind them of the ice storm of 08 that I dealt with without heat or insulation
Lmao, NH just observing makes my day!😂
These just keep getting better and better. Love how you point out that in even the reddest states, the big cities are usually blue, lol.
FARGO!! 😍😍 yay!! The frost festival was super fun here!! So exciting to hear from the better Dakota
ND is always the best Dakota :)
Why am I just learning about an event in my state from a Table YT video when i've lived in (state) for over 10 years lol
As someone from NH. It was cold.
So God damn cold in NH
Gov: "Roll title."
Alabama pops-up: "So close!"
Meanwhile me in the UP disappointed in the lackluster snow
I look forward to the day when Florida calls Montana a gringo for not pronouncing it “Montaña”
Damn! Massachusetts was warm af with -12.
Wait... are we supposed to include wind chill or not?
The -108F was with wind chill, apparently a national record.
@@znowyowl5197 Yeah, the towns around the base of the mountain were at like -30 to -50 before wind chill. Cold, but nothing we're not used to.
