As a Minnesotan, I've been told over and over we should hate Wisconsin and the Packers. But honestly, Wisconsin is a beautiful place and the Packers have been an excellent team a long time. I don't find much to hate about Wisconsin and never will.
I never hated Minnesota and I grew up in Wisconsin but there was a nice rivalry between the Vikings and the Packers and in fact some of the people that live in Wisconsin up by the Minnesota border only get the Vikings on TV so they’re actually Viking fans not Packer fans
Minnesota's alright. I lived in Burnsville and Winona each for a few years and remained a Packers fan without getting to much flack. Back in Wisco now though. Edit: Side note ; I swear every other small rural town in Minnesota has a motocross track ,lol. Also Duluth is beautiful and Spirit Mountain has some of the best mountain biking you'll find in the upper midwest
From someone who lives in Wisconsin let me give you my 10 reasons not to move here 1. The weather 2. The weather 3. The weather 4. The weather 5. The weather 6. The weather 7. The weather 8. The weather 9. The weather 10. There isn’t a whole lot to do here
@@cubnation Like going to the Dells, going hiking to the state parks, going surfing by like Michigan, sailing by the Apostle Islands, checking out museums and cool restaurants in the cities and towns, etc.
@@miguelidcomm True, but people in Wisconsin get mad at people from Illinois who go to Wisconsin. I wonder why they run adds on Chicago media. Me, I would rather go to South Dakota.
I move too Wisconsin from Mississippi 4 years ago and lived in other states too. I fell in love with the state over the other places I lived, living in South Milwaukee. I'm a adventure type person and Wisconsin have so many gems too explore. The best way I got over winters here is having fun doing winter outdoor stuff. I love it here and won't be leaving soon.
I live in wisconsin and its wonderful here. Ive been to many other states and none of them were as nice as wisconsin. We have cheap homes in most places, good schools, and nice scenery, as well as many other things. It doesnt smell bad unless you are standing right next to a farm. The ENTIRE state doesnt smell like farms, please. We are more urban than you think. And we have weather just like every other state for 8 months out of the year. It gets really hot here in the summer too. Like yes winter is an actual season. Just because the south doesnt have it, doesnt mean it doesnt exist. Ive travelled a lot throughout the state and ive never found a lake thats so toxic you cant swim in it. Also, Scott Walker kept our college tuition stable and made it stop rising so its lower than the national average. Furthermore, the unemployment rate is like 2.5% which is 2% lower than the national average and many of the states around us. Please check your facts before making the whole State look bad. Most of the things you are talking about only happen in less than 5% of the state.
That tuition freeze is driving budget cuts, letting go professors, inability to afford maintenance, and lowering the amount of money available for every existing program when a new one forms
@A.J. Unfiltered . All you show is who is more driven. Most driven people will do what it takes to succeed. Those who are not driven will not succeed. You pointed out who is who , Not me.
@@Mcthugalot, come with me to the deep south to find what you just described. You by your own admission have never been to Wisconsin. Better yet, stay in the stagnant and arrogant hell hole you call home and don't pollute another location with your existance.
@@tetornow That's correct I have never been to Wisconsin. Yet I have been close enough to smell the filth radiating off of that horrid splotch of failure. My current living conditions could indeed be considered a hellhole as you stated. And yes I could be described as a vain ignorant failure who drags everybody around me down to my shallow level. However, even as low and toxic as I am; even the most selfless and chaste person that could be found in Wisconsin is so far beneath me that it's almost laughable. There is not a single thing redeemable to be found in that place. If I am pollution on this earth then every single being in that place is vile cancer eating away at everything even slightly decent throughout this globe. The only reason I am wasting my immensely valuable time on this is that while you probably can't read this somebody who lives in a decent state will. And they won't like the fact that I'm insulting the place where their mentally challenged family lives.
I’ve lived in Wisconsin for the majority of my life and have always taken the state for granted. After becoming a truck driver and pretty much having been to every state, I’m glad to say I love living in Wisconsin.
^^ Agreed. We have plenty of rolling hills. Along Lake Michigan its a bit flat but go 15 miles east and you have plenty of rolling hills. The Kettle Moraine and south west Wisconsin are quite hilly.
yeah agreed when I heard him say that Wisconsin is relatively a flat state I'm not quite sure where the hell in Wisconsin he was I live in Central Wisconsin and we have powers Bluff we have Timms Hill and if you go out west near the Mississippi River that's all hills
This is all wrong. Taking advice from someone from Racine that’s the gettho of Wisconsin it’s Illinois basically. You gotta come to the valley baby the north woods you’ll change your mind
Rick Sazama the wal-mart of Racine is ghetto. If you go downtown it’s ghetto, but it’s not 100% ghetto. Coming from someone who has lived in Racine for 18 years
@@3leggedwarrior850 OMG.... you mean like Shawano? One of the smallest towns in the state? We don't have a cult problem. We have a problem of people coming from other states to live here, but don't understand our ways... like helping out your neighbor... saying hello to everyone... knowing everyone around you.
But................. 1. The smell from cows is pretty limited to remote areas. And so what. Role up your windows for 10 sec..it's gone! 2. Milwaukee has some of the BEST Medical Care for retirees (according to briefings I've gone to) 3. Wisconsin keeps medical costs down by limiting medical law suit awards. 4. Wisconsin DOES have ski areas..on the Illinois border..up north..and in Wausau. 5. Northern Wisconsin has BEAUTIFUL lakes and forests. 6. Western Wisconsin has beautiful hills the Glaciers never touched. Even Eastern WI has rolling hills. 7. The towns in Wisconsin are like Europe. The Houses are painted and the old down town buildings kept up. 8. Milwaukee has a lot of inner city crime. But outside the inner city...no problem. I've lived in many states....New Jersey...Alabama...Lousiana...California...Washington State. I like Wisconsin the best. Having a Great Lake..that is accessible to the masses...is the best feature I enjoy that I didn't have in those other places.
Ugh how did you like Washington state? I lived there for 8 months I dislike that state cause people there are so damn rude and it's so hard to find a job there. The state is clean its green like Seattle but its expensive to live there. I'm so happy I moved back to Wisconsin there is more job opportunities here people are more down to earth.
Marlar House i just moved here from Michigan a little less than a year ago lol sometimes it does stink like a fart lol but it is nice here and I never here gunshots and stuff lol
I'm in Rockford, Illinois - just south of the state line, outside of Beloit. We've actually debated moving to Wisconsin just to get out of the People's Republic of Illinois!
My father is a born and raised Wisconsin native, from Milwaukee. Part of me has an attachment to Milwaukee because of my family connection to Milwaukee. At the same time, it pains me to admit that Milwaukee has alot of problems. High murder rate, high unemployment rate, a history of racial tensions (which include riots in 1967 and 2016), gangs,etc. When many people think of Wisconsin, Milwaukee is the last place they think of. Milwaukee has alot of cool stuff. Beer gardens, Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, alot of awesome architecture. There is also alot of bad going on too. Part of me has thought of living in Milwaukee (I'm currently living in the suburbs of Atlanta). Part of me wonders otherwise.
TheGeoScholar We can use good people in Milwaukee always. Milwaukee has segregation issues, especially with its suburbs, but it is still an iconic city, somewhere with a real sense of place, and not like any anonymous suburb. If you get a job here (they exist, just not as plentiful as they should be) I think your biggest hurdle will be the ice in the winter. Snow can be bad, but the icy days bother me more.
TheGeoScholar When I visited Milwaukee it was a relatively safe as well as a clean beautiful city and the people were super friendly and helpful. It just sickens me how a great city like that could just suddenly slip and fall into hard times and yet the politicians did nothing about it. A former mayor raved about getting rid of a waterfront interstate and the triumphs of the new urbanism. Big fucking deal. How about paying more attention to the poorer struggling neighborhoods rather than just focusing on downtown and the lakefront. Milwaukee needs to focus on its neighborhoods and get rid of the violent gangs causing problems.
J O Milwaukee has a unique charm to it. The cream city bricks, the lake, the river, the old world charm. One reason why the negative aspects surprised me so much when I read about it. For what it's worth, I've applied to several jobs in Milwaukee.
Robert Preskop It depends on where you go and where you come from. My father's old neighborhood is not in good shape(the north side). I do know about the neglect going on in many of the poorer areas. A riot took place in 2016. Alot of issues going in a city that otherwise has alot of cool stuff.
J O not only the suburbs but even Milwaukee itself appears hyper segregated. It seems that most black Americans are confined to the city's deeply troubled north side.
I wouldn't particularly call Wisconsin flat... It's actually quite hilly and I've actually never found anywhere in Wisconsin I'd consider flat. If we were going to talk flat, I'd say southern Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas are flat.
The only reason I clicked on this video is because I live in Wisconsin and I was curious as to what this was, but most of the reasons I find ridiculous except the weather part...I do agree with that but otherwise I love Wisconsin
Cryptikal Hey, I'm not from Wisconsin but can I just say... I respect the state and its kind, hardworking people and your state does have so much to offer including delicious food, lovely sceneries, and so much healthy recreational activity for the family :) I want you to know we care about our Midwestern brothers and sisters, you guys rock! 👍 😁 Especially Wisconsin! Love from Connecticut which you can consider an ally to the state of Wisconsin and it's awesome people :)
@@bretert He didn't even bring up the Coulees. I used to work in Whitehall WI and the drive down highway 93 is one of the most beautiful I've seen in all the midwest.
I definitely wouldnt call it flat. Its oretty hilly and the flat parts are more northern wisconsin. But you dont really notice because of ALL the trees. Kansas, nesbraska, and the dakotas now are FLAT. (Minus some parts obviously)
@@AffablyAndrew Hey go up along US 41 past lake Winnebago and that space between there, green bay, and michigan is all really really hilly. I drive a standard so I know. Now, highway 63 between Hayward in Ashland, maybe a little flat but most of the state is very very diverse. One of my favorite drives, and I may have commented this is coming from Eau Claire and going down WI-93 down to the MN state line (at least down to WI-35 then over the bridge to Winona).
Timms hill is officially the highest point in Wisconsin, supposedly, but it's not really true. The highest spot is just east of Presque Isle, in the northeast corner of the state, along the border with YooperLand. It's just over 2,000 ft, about 300 ft higher than Timms hill, but not nearly as dramatic, since most of Vilas and Oneida counties are over 1900' Since the highest spot is 2,000' & the lowest is the Lake Michigan shoreline at 598', calling Wisconsin flat is kind of misleading.
Wisconsin’s biggest problem is our vacationing visitors from the south (Illinois) . Everyone in Wisconsin will attest to the fact that we’d be a lot happier with out those terrorists!
I’ve lived in Minnesota and Illinois and have been through Wisconsin several times. Trust me.. nobody really wants to live in Wisconsin. It sucks and so do the people :)
Ok, so the 'no job' thing isn't really correct. It's more like no workers for the umpteen thousands of jobs we have available. Our factories and businesses are CRYING for help (at least in Dodge County where I live). :). Yes, winters are brutal, but nothin's better than cooking out in a blizzard, and that brandy old fashioned will keep you toasty. We're not really flat when you get up into the Baraboo Bluff, LaCrosse or Kettle Moraine area. I've lived in Wisconsin for 51 years - born and raised. No better place on the planet. And yes, we wear cheese on our head, drink a lot of beer, love our Packers and eat a ton of brats, but we're very friendly and could teach anyone a think or two about polka! ") Oh and yes, Scott 'Scooter' Walker is shameful to say the least.
Bubblers. Love em. Jobs available why? Didn't here ya say the words drug addicts. Plenty of em now since drugs have flooded our entire state. Was it done purposely? Hm. Used to be every community grew hard working families. Should be a lot of pissed off parents, but I dont hear em do you? Gone, all gone.Liberals and the handy dandy internet ruined what once was. Well, that's the easiest answer anyway. Honestly, it is politics in general. Both sides the same. Just ask scooter, hahaha. They bought into a delusion and we suffer because of this. Shameful hussies. Hard work and integrity has turned into lies, deception, laziness.
As a former restaurant owner in GB, it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to find any decent or stable employees with the amount of alcoholism and drug addiction. I’ve met much nicer people living out west and finally have friends who don’t believe having a “good time” involves getting totally plastered.
I grew up in Wisconsin, grew up, moved away, moved back, and moved away again. Reasons, in Northern Wisconsin it is really, really cold. We waited until Memorial Day to plant our garden but it still froze dead. It is not just about gardens. Housing prices might be low but heating costs are sky high. And if the power goes out or your furnace quits you either go to a hotel or die. Extra blankets don't help when it is -30 degrees Taxes, property taxes are four times what I paid in Tennessee. That's Tennessee that does not have a State income tax but Wisconsin's income tax is one of the highest in the Nation.
About the obesity problem in Wisconsin: I can see why. When I visited, they had menu items like fried cheese on a stick and fried Oreos! The kind of things my mom used to call “heart attack on a plate.” And don’t get me started on trying to find fresh fruit! If I lived there, I would probably end up eating canned fruit. Also, I’m sure it’s hard to get exercise when it’s below zero out and snowing for a good chunk of the winter!
I'm north, at the head of Lake Superior. Born and raised here. I doubt I could live without the lake, it gets in your blood. I also happen to think we have the best woods. All the pine, so beautiful and smells so good!
Travis, Bayfield apple fest, Iron River blueberry fest, lumberjack bowl in Hayward (I lived there for about 3 years in the late 80's) My dad, (passed 2003) worked for BN as a yardmaster, about a block from our house. He started as a switchman when it was still The Great Northern. (the best) He loved to fish, and he took us down any two rut road that ended at a lake. We'd be out in the middle of nowhere, in the truck camper he built, no electric, water...nothing! One time a bear came over and started rocking the truck. I was scared spitless but dad acted brave (I know he was more than nervous) He bought some land at Pottowatami (spell?) and we all had a ton of fun there. We used to rent the lodge for a night, but always were allowed to stay two. I miss that a lot!
I left Wisconsin to for a job in Arizona after college. I couldn't find a job in Wisconsin - even with a Masters Degree. Sorry, but I still have not come back after 30 years. Open deserts, pitch blue skies, a million stars at night, golden canyons, beautiful sunsets, warm weather, high mountain forests, no snow, plenty of good-paying jobs and a decent cost of living. I love Arizona.
I have lived in Wisconsin for 40 years, and the list is off base on most items. #10- bugs. Bugs are only a problem in June and July, and only mosquitoes. Poisonous insects, spiders, and snakes can't even live here because it's so cold in the winter. I think most states have insect problems more than 2 months a year. #9-flatness. There are lots of hills and Kettle Moraine is an amazing location for studying the glacier movement. There are lots of ski resorts in central and northern Wisconsin. It's hard to find really flat land like there is in Iowa. #8 Smell - I lived in the country and the city, different towns, and it rarely stinks like cows and only when passing a freshly done field. Cheese factories smell for about 1/4 mile radius. #7 weather - you are right on with this one. The snow is enough to make me want to move, particularly the last two years. #6 The water is fine in most locations. #5 - crime in Milwaukee is pretty bad, but that is one of the only unsafe areas in the entire state. People stay away from Milwaukee unless they have to go there, or if they have always lived there. #4- jobs- I think it is about the same unemployment rate as other states in the area #3- Scott Walker is no longer Governor. #2-Obesity - Pretty true, but I think it's probably about the same as other places in the us #1 - health care cost - depends on where you work, and what insurance they choose. Like you said, there is very little wrong about the state, so I bet it was hard to make this list. The weather is pretty much the only thing that really belongs on this list. But then it couldn't be a top ten list I guess.
M. Hood Fishing don't do that friend, true Louisiana isn't the greatest land on earth like us here Minnesota, but NO ONE, and MEAN NO ONE could possibly be worse then Wisconsin, you are loved, you are wanted, you are needed and you matter....ish ***state hugs*** @fuckwisconsin @Minnesota'sthebest @jointhemovment/lake ole' wis-cheese
Sorry, I've been to Michigan, Wisconsin, and northern Illinois in what is laughingly called their summer. Two seasons: winter and then two weeks in July it warms up to above freezing.
K lee N--OMG--people who have moved to warmer climates from Wisconsin gladly regale people with how bitterly cold winters there--and the other northernmost latitude states --are MOST of the year. There's a city in NE PA that claims to have two seasons: winter and July. In fact, it's not unknown to wear wool sweaters in July or see snow before September 21..
I've been in Wisconsin for pretty much my whole life, but man, you are certainly right about it being bad if you are looking for a job, as well as the obesity issue.
Been here since i was 5 . Yes there are plenty of jobs , tons of them actually , just too bad they are at or slightly above minimum wage . Luckily , i have a pretty decent job , saving enough money to move out of here . High taxes , drunks , crappy roads and more toothless hillbillies than i care to count . After 30 years im more than ready to leave .
Worst things about Wisconsin. According to me. 1. Long winters 2. Mosquitoes 3. High property taxes 4. Fat women 5. Rainy spring 6.Werewolves 7. Deer have CWD 8. High heating bills 9. Potholes because of the winter
We're not even top 10 in flatness, though I can't find what we're ranked. We call Illinois people flat Landers, ranked #2 In flatness. *Found it, Wisconsin is ranked 29th in flatness... Apparently not very flat. Also ranked 28th for obesity, though the obesity issue is noticable.
Look up driftless area and tell me its not beautiful!! Bluffs,lakes,the Mississippi River and fresh country air,perhaps you need a trip to WI. Look up the Great river road.
A friend spent 4 years in Madison. A really pretty city but drink driving was a big problem, my friend once got stopped by the cops (she was driving a bunch of her college friends) just so they could thank her for not drink driving
Absolutely loved this video. 8 years ago I was living in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY. The rent was cheap, $525 a month for an acre of land with a house, a carport, a pond and surrounded by a forest. Life was good but, no jobs. I took a crap job as a forklift operator at a bottled water factory for $9 an hour, nothing was happening in telecommunications. For 20 years I watched the manufacturing industry vanish. So one day I decided to not go to work. I packed up the car and gave everything else away. Wisconsin was not what I had in mind but, my oldest son lived there. In 3 weeks I had a job starting at $16 an hour. My car insurance was half of what I used to pay in NY. NY sales tax was 9.25%, Wisconsin, 5.25%. A couple years later I was up to my eyeballs in telecommunications and passed the $25 an hour mark. I do save a lot on break jobs because Wisconsin is so flat. And wow, who was the genius that invented deep fried cheese curds? Currently, Wisconsin has an employee shortage and has an unemployment rate of 2.8%. Winters in Wisconsin however, suck more than NY because they have half the snow and it's usually 10 degrees colder than NY... Well, my Wisconsin girlfriend is on me about watching a movie and I'm slacking with my beer...gotta go.
I don't know where you found people who do not like Scott Walker. He got elected Governor, passed a recall election and won a second term. Also, Milwaukee's crime problem has NOTHING to do with public drinking.
i lived in racine wisconsin my whole life if your thinking about living here DONT it is so cold and there are so many bugs and dont swim in the lake either its so cold and its just boring i would recomend colorodo tho
Yeah, well... We... erm... We- only have 3 seasons... Winter, blazing, and road construction. This year, we got more snow this month (April 2019) than we did in December 2018. I live in a nice calm city luckily.
Dustin Diamond is not a Wisconsin native. He lives in Port Washington, Wisconsin. However, he was born in San Jose,California, and likely moved to Wisconsin after his Saved By The Bell Career ended. Now, he has had some problems in Wisconsin. He did get in trouble in Ozaukee County related to a stabbing in a bar fight.
I do not know if he lives in Port Washington anymore. All I know is that if you ever stepped on his property for any reason, and he was not expecting you, he immediately called 911. He's also a dirtbag. That bar fight was related to him beating up a woman.
Not gonna lie Wisconsin is better than what he is saying it’s like literally all people of sizes live here and that shouldn’t matter and we don’t eat all dairy and cheese and it smells like a normal state literally it’s not that bad🤷🏽♀️ and btw the water is fine and only some places just literally some not very many places since I live in Madison Wisconsin that smell bad
As a Wisconsin native I have to agree with this, although I’m a Marine Bio major, so I was able to get out though, so I won’t be staying there as there’s no ocean coast. Not sure how well the high fiber diet would go over, people love their cheese curds and beer too much lol.
Nick, you are a "Marine Biology Major" and you are leaving Wisconsin because "there is no coastline". Do you realize that the entire east side of Wisconsin is Lake Michigan coastline? The northern border of Wisconsin has lake Superior coastline? The entire western border of Wisconsin is the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers. Wisconsin has more than 15,000 lakes and more than 100,000 miles of rivers. Yes, Nick Mr. "Marine Biology Major", please do leave and recycle that useless diploma. If you actually graduated, ask for a refund. Shame on your teachers.
Your right, it's hard to complain about Wisconsin compared to other States. The ground doesn't shake like some areas do. No volcano to erupt, small towns are friendly and yet we can have all four season in one day. How many places can say that? Yes, some people up north have a Euper accent and some towns have different Indian names from our Indian heritage here in Wisconsin. But all-in-all we love our colloquialism and seasons right along with our various sports. O' yhan, Governor Walker cut taxes and help get FOXCON to come to Wisconsin and other industry, We have a great water supply, Schools, and medical care
i'm australian and lived in madison. worst there is the humidity in warm weather. the lakes smelled like mould. but generally i loved living there. nicest people in the world.
Chris Lancour lots of places and the highway follows the Mississippi both north and south so if its crowded you can move pretty easily. I love Grandads Bluff. You can see the whole area.
#9 "Wisconsin is one of the flattest states" Actually a national study reviewed the flatness of all 50 states and ranked Wisconsin #29, making it less flat than MOST states.
so confused on “it’s flat” because it’s very hilly. just because the tallest point isn’t as high as an actual mountain doesn’t mean the state is flat. illinois is flat. wisconsin has beautiful hills all over.
You also forgot to mention taxes are super high. I lived in Milwaukee for 42 years. Couldn't find a good paying job. Decided to move to South Dakota in 2013 and found a great job that I like and have worked at for 5 years now. I still have family in Milwaukee and I would like to go back and visit someday.
Born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin and hate it...but its better than Illinois!! Chicago is turning into Detroit and its making the whole region take a major turn for the worst.
The only thing that was true is the crime in milwaukee i live in the trenches of milwaukee and i pray that in my sleep i dont get shot and the weather is honestly pretty bad but we have great summers
Scott Walker won the 2010 election for governor by 6 points, the 2012 recall election by 7 points and the 2014 election by 6 points. He also became the first U.S. governor to win a recall election.
@trouble_with _logic illinois and florida are the two flattest states in the union. Floridia has swamps lakes and the ocean and great beaches though. Illinois has...
I've lived in WI all my life , if you don't like the weather, stick around, it'll change. But even though it's flat, as was said, it's pretty beautiful with the lovely trails and scenery.
Too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Too humid, too wet, too flat, too many tree's, no mountains, the sun only shines 5 minutes before it sets, it looks like Chernobyl for almost half of the year and the Packers. I must escape somehow.
As a third generation Wisconsinite, I can validate a lot of the points which you made in this video. Another BIG one you missed is the out of control Dept of Justice and Dept of Corrections. These people capitalize on "being tough on crime" but just wind up breaking up families by locking people up for lengthy sentences for relatively minor crimes involving drugs, sex and alcohol. Compare the number of incarcerations with our neighboring states and you'll see my point. The legislature and governor make minimum sentences which make it harder to rehabilitate and reintegrate citizens. "Come on vacation, leave on probation" could be the next state motto.
You hit a home run on that one. I pissed off a cop in Wisconsin and he gave me a BS DUI, i wasnt even drinking. Trying to get a decent lawyer or a fair trail was a joke and they treated me like i lived in Wisconsin when i lived in California!!!
When you mentioned water pollution I figured you would have brought up the pollution from the paper mills. In central Wisconsin all the way down to milwaukee rivers were poisoned for decades due to the chemicals used in the paper industry. It's a ĺ better now due to the own water act but it's still not fixed.
Don't forget sewage spills. In Ashland another 5.2 million gallons spilled into lake superior. Over the last few yrs it's over 80 million total. 20 documented spills and no fines and no immediate end.
I was curious to see what you had to say about Wisconsin, I’ve been listening to you for a couple years but this is the oldest one I’ve ever watched. In my mind I kept hearing the background music and sound effects! Lol. It was fun to watch one of your oldies but you’ve made great improvements!
Anthony Thorp I love Wolves, but from a distance and I'm a cold preferring person rather than having immense heat. How about we switch states and you take Connecticut and I'll take Wisconsin :)
Willie Ikerd Respectfully, they're probably not because Wisconsin is further north and whatever is further north usually is colder and gets the brunt of it more.
Wisconsin is alright. The countless Illinoisians coming here to escape their broken state is evidence enough.
they need to stay in Illinois, they take all the camping spots on weekends
Those Fibs
brotherman just did that yesterday lol
Tlc1992 You’re welcome here anytime!
Dont forget the Mud Ducks from the West as well!
Also Wisconsin doesn't really smell bad only if you are right next to a farm otherwise it is fine
Kaukauna
My school used to be well away from any of them but the wind would just send the smell all the way there like, holy shit!
You’ve obviously never been in Milwaukee after it rains 😂 whole city be smelling like wet dog
Mmmm. The wonder full smell of shortstraw
Yea
As a Minnesotan, I've been told over and over we should hate Wisconsin and the Packers. But honestly, Wisconsin is a beautiful place and the Packers have been an excellent team a long time. I don't find much to hate about Wisconsin and never will.
I never hated Minnesota and I grew up in Wisconsin but there was a nice rivalry between the Vikings and the Packers and in fact some of the people that live in Wisconsin up by the Minnesota border only get the Vikings on TV so they’re actually Viking fans not Packer fans
Minnesota's alright. I lived in Burnsville and Winona each for a few years and remained a Packers fan without getting to much flack. Back in Wisco now though.
Edit: Side note ; I swear every other small rural town in Minnesota has a motocross track ,lol. Also Duluth is beautiful and Spirit Mountain has some of the best mountain biking you'll find in the upper midwest
Joe Jenks lol oh bullshit. You’re definitely taught to hate Minnesota in Wisconsin
I’m from Wisconsin and I’ve always thought the same about Minnesota lol

It's funny if you live in Wisconsin because of how true it is.
Chris b yesssss
So true...
Call me a sick S.O.B., but I like the smell of composted cow manure spread over a farmers field.
I move too Wisconsin from Mississippi 4 years ago and lived in other states too. I fell in love with the state over the other places I lived, living in South Milwaukee. I'm a adventure type person and Wisconsin have so many gems too explore. The best way I got over winters here is having fun doing winter outdoor stuff. I love it here and won't be leaving soon.

It doesnt smell bad unless you are standing right next to a farm. The ENTIRE state doesnt smell like farms, please. We are more urban than you think.
And we have weather just like every other state for 8 months out of the year. It gets really hot here in the summer too. Like yes winter is an actual season. Just because the south doesnt have it, doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
Ive travelled a lot throughout the state and ive never found a lake thats so toxic you cant swim in it.
Also, Scott Walker kept our college tuition stable and made it stop rising so its lower than the national average.
Furthermore, the unemployment rate is like 2.5% which is 2% lower than the national average and many of the states around us.
Please check your facts before making the whole State look bad. Most of the things you are talking about only happen in less than 5% of the state.
Can you say Tom Barrett
That tuition freeze is driving budget cuts, letting go professors, inability to afford maintenance, and lowering the amount of money available for every existing program when a new one forms
@A.J. Unfiltered . All you show is who is more driven. Most driven people will do what it takes to succeed. Those who are not driven will not succeed. You pointed out who is who , Not me.

Yep
@@Mcthugalot, come with me to the deep south to find what you just described. You by your own admission have never been to Wisconsin. Better yet, stay in the stagnant and arrogant hell hole you call home and don't pollute another location with your existance.
@@tetornow That's correct I have never been to Wisconsin. Yet I have been close enough to smell the filth radiating off of that horrid splotch of failure. My current living conditions could indeed be considered a hellhole as you stated. And yes I could be described as a vain ignorant failure who drags everybody around me down to my shallow level. However, even as low and toxic as I am; even the most selfless and chaste person that could be found in Wisconsin is so far beneath me that it's almost laughable. There is not a single thing redeemable to be found in that place. If I am pollution on this earth then every single being in that place is vile cancer eating away at everything even slightly decent throughout this globe. The only reason I am wasting my immensely valuable time on this is that while you probably can't read this somebody who lives in a decent state will. And they won't like the fact that I'm insulting the place where their mentally challenged family lives.
mcthugalot yeesh
@@hyperzone6426 I take my hatred very seriously.
I’ve lived in Wisconsin for the majority of my life and have always taken the state for granted. After becoming a truck driver and pretty much having been to every state, I’m glad to say I love living in Wisconsin.
Every employer in my area is looking for workers... so if someone can't find a job, they are not trying hard enough.
How’s U Wisconsin Madison, and why some ppl say Madison is great when others say Madison sucks?
@@Tom-jr4hc those that say it sucks aren't afraid to tell the truth.
Beautiful city
Congratulations
It’s because people there would rather drink and collect unemployment, as a former restaurant owner in GB it was almost impossible to find decent help
It’s because everyone wants to move out of this shithole.
Welcome to wisconsin where it snowed more in October than it did in December :)
WI isn’t really all that flat either. Illinois in the other hand...
or kansas... or nebraska.
exactly western wisconsin is lined with Bluffs!
^^ Agreed. We have plenty of rolling hills. Along Lake Michigan its a bit flat but go 15 miles east and you have plenty of rolling hills. The Kettle Moraine and south west Wisconsin are quite hilly.
yeah agreed when I heard him say that Wisconsin is relatively a flat state I'm not quite sure where the hell in Wisconsin he was I live in Central Wisconsin and we have powers Bluff we have Timms Hill and if you go out west near the Mississippi River that's all hills
Yes seriously, I live on the west side of the state and it’s incredibly hilly!! But it’s really beautiful too
This is all wrong. Taking advice from someone from Racine that’s the gettho of Wisconsin it’s Illinois basically. You gotta come to the valley baby the north woods you’ll change your mind
True. Racine is ghetto. Doesn't even seem like Wisconsin.
Rick Sazama the wal-mart of Racine is ghetto. If you go downtown it’s ghetto, but it’s not 100% ghetto. Coming from someone who has lived in Racine for 18 years
Inner city of Racine is bad, stay close to the hwy 94 and it's nice.
I live in the valley (one of the cities in the Fox valley if that is what you are talking about) I live in Neenah
Holy crap it's so weird seeing these comments of random people who live so close to me...
i have visited 48 states and wisconsin is my favorite state. beer, cheese and beef sticks. how could you not like that.

But.................
1. The smell from cows is pretty limited to remote areas. And so what. Role up your windows for 10 sec..it's gone!
2. Milwaukee has some of the BEST Medical Care for retirees (according to briefings I've gone to)
3. Wisconsin keeps medical costs down by limiting medical law suit awards.
4. Wisconsin DOES have ski areas..on the Illinois border..up north..and in Wausau.
5. Northern Wisconsin has BEAUTIFUL lakes and forests.
6. Western Wisconsin has beautiful hills the Glaciers never touched. Even Eastern WI has rolling hills.
7. The towns in Wisconsin are like Europe. The Houses are painted and the old down town buildings kept up.
8. Milwaukee has a lot of inner city crime. But outside the inner city...no problem.
I've lived in many states....New Jersey...Alabama...Lousiana...California...Washington State. I like Wisconsin the best. Having a Great Lake..that is accessible to the masses...is the best feature I enjoy that I didn't have in those other places.
Ugh how did you like Washington state? I lived there for 8 months I dislike that state cause people there are so damn rude and it's so hard to find a job there. The state is clean its green like Seattle but its expensive to live there. I'm so happy I moved back to Wisconsin there is more job opportunities here people are more down to earth.
Ah, the Kettle Moraine places in and around Eagle and Palmyra. I've been there. My Dad and I once went to a gun range nestled in the Kettle Moraine.

Come visit Wisconsin and smell our "dairy air"!
Marlar House ok so not everywhere is dairy
It was a play on words. Dairy Air = derriere (butt)
And have a fuckton of alcohol
Marlar House i just moved here from Michigan a little less than a year ago lol sometimes it does stink like a fart lol but it is nice here and I never here gunshots and stuff lol
I'm in Rockford, Illinois - just south of the state line, outside of Beloit. We've actually debated moving to Wisconsin just to get out of the People's Republic of Illinois!
My father is a born and raised Wisconsin native, from Milwaukee. Part of me has an attachment to Milwaukee because of my family connection to Milwaukee. At the same time, it pains me to admit that Milwaukee has alot of problems. High murder rate, high unemployment rate, a history of racial tensions (which include riots in 1967 and 2016), gangs,etc. When many people think of Wisconsin, Milwaukee is the last place they think of. Milwaukee has alot of cool stuff. Beer gardens, Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, alot of awesome architecture. There is also alot of bad going on too. Part of me has thought of living in Milwaukee (I'm currently living in the suburbs of Atlanta). Part of me wonders otherwise.
TheGeoScholar We can use good people in Milwaukee always. Milwaukee has segregation issues, especially with its suburbs, but it is still an iconic city, somewhere with a real sense of place, and not like any anonymous suburb. If you get a job here (they exist, just not as plentiful as they should be) I think your biggest hurdle will be the ice in the winter. Snow can be bad, but the icy days bother me more.
TheGeoScholar When I visited Milwaukee it was a relatively safe as well as a clean beautiful city and the people were super friendly and helpful. It just sickens me how a great city like that could just suddenly slip and fall into hard times and yet the politicians did nothing about it. A former mayor raved about getting rid of a waterfront interstate and the triumphs of the new urbanism. Big fucking deal. How about paying more attention to the poorer struggling neighborhoods rather than just focusing on downtown and the lakefront. Milwaukee needs to focus on its neighborhoods and get rid of the violent gangs causing problems.
J O Milwaukee has a unique charm to it. The cream city bricks, the lake, the river, the old world charm. One reason why the negative aspects surprised me so much when I read about it. For what it's worth, I've applied to several jobs in Milwaukee.
Robert Preskop It depends on where you go and where you come from. My father's old neighborhood is not in good shape(the north side). I do know about the neglect going on in many of the poorer areas. A riot took place in 2016. Alot of issues going in a city that otherwise has alot of cool stuff.
J O not only the suburbs but even Milwaukee itself appears hyper segregated. It seems that most black Americans are confined to the city's deeply troubled north side.
I wouldn't particularly call Wisconsin flat... It's actually quite hilly and I've actually never found anywhere in Wisconsin I'd consider flat. If we were going to talk flat, I'd say southern Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas are flat.
Very true. I havent been in eastern WI but western WI definitely isnt flat, tons of hills and bluffs in the La Crosse area
The only reason I clicked on this video is because I live in Wisconsin and I was curious as to what this was, but most of the reasons I find ridiculous except the weather part...I do agree with that but otherwise I love Wisconsin
Cryptikal Hey, I'm not from Wisconsin but can I just say...
I respect the state and its kind, hardworking people and your state does have so much to offer including delicious food, lovely sceneries, and so much healthy recreational activity for the family :)

@@cocotaveras8975 Can’t believe no one replied. I’m from Wisconsin. Thank you!
If Wisconsin is flat, then the Rockies are small hills....Do you even live here?
Wisconsin is basically like the Netherlands but more hills and less cows.
@@bretert He didn't even bring up the Coulees. I used to work in Whitehall WI and the drive down highway 93 is one of the most beautiful I've seen in all the midwest.
I definitely wouldnt call it flat. Its oretty hilly and the flat parts are more northern wisconsin. But you dont really notice because of ALL the trees. Kansas, nesbraska, and the dakotas now are FLAT. (Minus some parts obviously)
@@AffablyAndrew Hey go up along US 41 past lake Winnebago and that space between there, green bay, and michigan is all really really hilly. I drive a standard so I know. Now, highway 63 between Hayward in Ashland, maybe a little flat but most of the state is very very diverse. One of my favorite drives, and I may have commented this is coming from Eau Claire and going down WI-93 down to the MN state line (at least down to WI-35 then over the bridge to Winona).
Timms hill is officially the highest point in Wisconsin, supposedly, but it's not really true. The highest spot is just east of Presque Isle, in the northeast corner of the state, along the border with YooperLand. It's just over 2,000 ft, about 300 ft higher than Timms hill, but not nearly as dramatic, since most of Vilas and Oneida counties are over 1900'
Since the highest spot is 2,000' & the lowest is the Lake Michigan shoreline at 598', calling Wisconsin flat is kind of misleading.
Wisconsin’s biggest problem is our vacationing visitors from the south (Illinois) . Everyone in Wisconsin will attest to the fact that we’d be a lot happier with out those terrorists!
Leave:Me:In:A:Little:Log:Cabin ? I live in Wisconsin and aren’t we all human?
I’ve lived in Minnesota and Illinois and have been through Wisconsin several times. Trust me.. nobody really wants to live in Wisconsin. It sucks and so do the people :)
Lol everywhere smells like manure? Hahaha silly non wisconsians
I know right!
GGboss man EXACTLY you get used to the smell of fresh poop
GGboss man i only smell manure 2 times a month
Ikr
Wisconsians? Wisconsinites.
Ok, so the 'no job' thing isn't really correct. It's more like no workers for the umpteen thousands of jobs we have available. Our factories and businesses are CRYING for help (at least in Dodge County where I live). :). Yes, winters are brutal, but nothin's better than cooking out in a blizzard, and that brandy old fashioned will keep you toasty. We're not really flat when you get up into the Baraboo Bluff, LaCrosse or Kettle Moraine area. I've lived in Wisconsin for 51 years - born and raised. No better place on the planet. And yes, we wear cheese on our head, drink a lot of beer, love our Packers and eat a ton of brats, but we're very friendly and could teach anyone a think or two about polka! ") Oh and yes, Scott 'Scooter' Walker is shameful to say the least.
Couldn’t put it better myself
Bubblers. Love em. Jobs available why? Didn't here ya say the words drug addicts. Plenty of em now since drugs have flooded our entire state. Was it done purposely? Hm. Used to be every community grew hard working families. Should be a lot of pissed off parents, but I dont hear em do you? Gone, all gone.Liberals and the handy dandy internet ruined what once was. Well, that's the easiest answer anyway. Honestly, it is politics in general. Both sides the same. Just ask scooter, hahaha. They bought into a delusion and we suffer because of this. Shameful hussies. Hard work and integrity has turned into lies, deception, laziness.
Hi
Brandon McGowan agreed
As a former restaurant owner in GB, it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to find any decent or stable employees with the amount of alcoholism and drug addiction. I’ve met much nicer people living out west and finally have friends who don’t believe having a “good time” involves getting totally plastered.
Horrible review of a great state.
Your facts are almost completely wrong
I grew up in Wisconsin, grew up, moved away, moved back, and moved away again. Reasons, in Northern Wisconsin it is really, really cold. We waited until Memorial Day to plant our garden but it still froze dead. It is not just about gardens. Housing prices might be low but heating costs are sky high. And if the power goes out or your furnace quits you either go to a hotel or die. Extra blankets don't help when it is -30 degrees Taxes, property taxes are four times what I paid in Tennessee. That's Tennessee that does not have a State income tax but Wisconsin's income tax is one of the highest in the Nation.
Northern Wisconsin averages 20 degrees colder than Moscow who's suberbs are actually in Syberia.
cold keeps the shitheads away, trust me anywhere warm has really crappy people
I love Wisconsin. Going back to visit in June and couldn't be more excited! Such a beautiful and peaceful place. Highly recommended.

About the obesity problem in Wisconsin: I can see why.
When I visited, they had menu items like fried cheese on a stick and fried Oreos! The kind of things my mom used to call “heart attack on a plate.”
And don’t get me started on trying to find fresh fruit! If I lived there, I would probably end up eating canned fruit.
Also, I’m sure it’s hard to get exercise when it’s below zero out and snowing for a good chunk of the winter!
Wisconsin is great if you love trees and alcoholism
Scott Merritt And cheese

Gregory Everson You also have a dairy problem that it makes the Minnesotians go dairyphobic

Wisconsin is HUGE, depends where you go but there's also large areas of rolling hills like Ohio.
I'm north, at the head of Lake Superior. Born and raised here. I doubt I could live without the lake, it gets in your blood. I also happen to think we have the best woods. All the pine, so beautiful and smells so good!
Travis, Bayfield apple fest, Iron River blueberry fest, lumberjack bowl in Hayward (I lived there for about 3 years in the late 80's)
My dad, (passed 2003) worked for BN as a yardmaster, about a block from our house. He started as a switchman when it was still The Great Northern. (the best)
He loved to fish, and he took us down any two rut road that ended at a lake. We'd be out in the middle of nowhere, in the truck camper he built, no electric, water...nothing! One time a bear came over and started rocking the truck. I was scared spitless but dad acted brave (I know he was more than nervous) He bought some land at Pottowatami (spell?) and we all had a ton of fun there. We used to rent the lodge for a night, but always were allowed to stay two. I miss that a lot!

I left Wisconsin to for a job in Arizona after college. I couldn't find a job in Wisconsin - even with a Masters Degree. Sorry, but I still have not come back after 30 years. Open deserts, pitch blue skies, a million stars at night, golden canyons, beautiful sunsets, warm weather, high mountain forests, no snow, plenty of good-paying jobs and a decent cost of living. I love Arizona.
I have lived in Wisconsin for 40 years, and the list is off base on most items. #10- bugs. Bugs are only a problem in June and July, and only mosquitoes. Poisonous insects, spiders, and snakes can't even live here because it's so cold in the winter. I think most states have insect problems more than 2 months a year. #9-flatness. There are lots of hills and Kettle Moraine is an amazing location for studying the glacier movement. There are lots of ski resorts in central and northern Wisconsin. It's hard to find really flat land like there is in Iowa. #8 Smell - I lived in the country and the city, different towns, and it rarely stinks like cows and only when passing a freshly done field. Cheese factories smell for about 1/4 mile radius. #7 weather - you are right on with this one. The snow is enough to make me want to move, particularly the last two years. #6 The water is fine in most locations. #5 - crime in Milwaukee is pretty bad, but that is one of the only unsafe areas in the entire state. People stay away from Milwaukee unless they have to go there, or if they have always lived there. #4- jobs- I think it is about the same unemployment rate as other states in the area #3- Scott Walker is no longer Governor. #2-Obesity - Pretty true, but I think it's probably about the same as other places in the us #1 - health care cost - depends on where you work, and what insurance they choose. Like you said, there is very little wrong about the state, so I bet it was hard to make this list. The weather is pretty much the only thing that really belongs on this list. But then it couldn't be a top ten list I guess.
Still better than Louisiana.
M. Hood Fishing don't do that friend, true Louisiana isn't the greatest land on earth like us here Minnesota, but NO ONE, and MEAN NO ONE could possibly be worse then Wisconsin, you are loved, you are wanted, you are needed and you matter....ish ***state hugs***

Jacob Mathews Minnesoatans have celebrated so many Super Bowls...not by winning any, just by hosting a couple.
And the number one reason for NOT moving to Wisconsin is (drum roll, please)...Winter is 11 1/2 months long!
One MercilessMing not true! We'll have at least six weeks of non-winter!
Sorry, I've been to Michigan, Wisconsin, and northern Illinois in what is laughingly called their summer. Two seasons: winter and then two weeks in July it warms up to above freezing.
omg,spring summer and fall have normal if not high temps,winter is winter. mid nov til mid march is cold.
K lee N--OMG--people who have moved to warmer climates from Wisconsin gladly regale people with how bitterly cold winters there--and the other northernmost latitude states --are MOST of the year. There's a city in NE PA that claims to have two seasons: winter and July. In fact, it's not unknown to wear wool sweaters in July or see snow before September 21..

A friend spent 4 years in Madison. A really pretty city but drink driving was a big problem, my friend once got stopped by the cops (she was driving a bunch of her college friends) just so they could thank her for not drink driving
Absolutely loved this video. 8 years ago I was living in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY. The rent was cheap, $525 a month for an acre of land with a house, a carport, a pond and surrounded by a forest. Life was good but, no jobs. I took a crap job as a forklift operator at a bottled water factory for $9 an hour, nothing was happening in telecommunications. For 20 years I watched the manufacturing industry vanish. So one day I decided to not go to work. I packed up the car and gave everything else away.
Wisconsin was not what I had in mind but, my oldest son lived there. In 3 weeks I had a job starting at $16 an hour. My car insurance was half of what I used to pay in NY. NY sales tax was 9.25%, Wisconsin, 5.25%. A couple years later I was up to my eyeballs in telecommunications and passed the $25 an hour mark. I do save a lot on break jobs because Wisconsin is so flat. And wow, who was the genius that invented deep fried cheese curds? Currently, Wisconsin has an employee shortage and has an unemployment rate of 2.8%. Winters in Wisconsin however, suck more than NY because they have half the snow and it's usually 10 degrees colder than NY...
Well, my Wisconsin girlfriend is on me about watching a movie and I'm slacking with my beer...gotta go.
the state isnt flat, we made our roads go with the hills/around them
I don't know where you found people who do not like Scott Walker. He got elected Governor, passed a recall election and won a second term. Also, Milwaukee's crime problem has NOTHING to do with public drinking.

Dustin Diamond is not a Wisconsin native. He lives in Port Washington, Wisconsin. However, he was born in San Jose,California, and likely moved to Wisconsin after his Saved By The Bell Career ended. Now, he has had some problems in Wisconsin. He did get in trouble in Ozaukee County related to a stabbing in a bar fight.

He got a comedy gig in Green Bay coming up lol
And Jeffery Dahmer lol
I do not know if he lives in Port Washington anymore. All I know is that if you ever stepped on his property for any reason, and he was not expecting you, he immediately called 911. He's also a dirtbag. That bar fight was related to him beating up a woman.

My family has lived on the same land in Wisconsin for over 100 years. And we absolutely love it.
As a Wisconsin native I have to agree with this, although I’m a Marine Bio major, so I was able to get out though, so I won’t be staying there as there’s no ocean coast. Not sure how well the high fiber diet would go over, people love their cheese curds and beer too much lol.
Nick, you are a "Marine Biology Major" and you are leaving Wisconsin because "there is no coastline". Do you realize that the entire east side of Wisconsin is Lake Michigan coastline? The northern border of Wisconsin has lake Superior coastline? The entire western border of Wisconsin is the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers. Wisconsin has more than 15,000 lakes and more than 100,000 miles of rivers. Yes, Nick Mr. "Marine Biology Major", please do leave and recycle that useless diploma. If you actually graduated, ask for a refund. Shame on your teachers.
hi nick
Don’t forget about Culver’s! Lol 💙
Your right, it's hard to complain about Wisconsin compared to other States. The ground doesn't shake like some areas do. No volcano to erupt, small towns are friendly and yet we can have all four season in one day. How many places can say that? Yes, some people up north have a Euper accent and some towns have different Indian names from our Indian heritage here in Wisconsin. But all-in-all we love our colloquialism and seasons right along with our various sports. O' yhan, Governor Walker cut taxes and help get FOXCON to come to Wisconsin and other industry, We have a great water supply, Schools, and medical care
He's also giving BILLIONS in tax breaks to FoxConn... how does that help the average Wisconsinite?
Over time it will be a great tax base for the local economy plus provide good paying jobs in many of the cities around the State.

#9 "Wisconsin is one of the flattest states"
Actually a national study reviewed the flatness of all 50 states and ranked Wisconsin #29, making it less flat than MOST states.
Exactly. We may not have mountains, but Wisconsin is anything but flat.
Western WI is far from flat
If anything Florida is the flattest
so confused on “it’s flat” because it’s very hilly. just because the tallest point isn’t as high as an actual mountain doesn’t mean the state is flat. illinois is flat. wisconsin has beautiful hills all over.

I have lived in Wisconsin all my life and it's VERY hilly!!!! I don't know where you got your information but it's wrong!
You also forgot to mention taxes are super high. I lived in Milwaukee for 42 years. Couldn't find a good paying job. Decided to move to South Dakota in 2013 and found a great job that I like and have worked at for 5 years now. I still have family in Milwaukee and I would like to go back and visit someday.
Living in Wisconsin you get used to the winter real quick.
But just because you get used to it doesn’t mean you’ll ever enjoy it
@@Hitman_Hearns exactly my point
The way you said Racine hurts on a deep level.
Moving there next week from Illinois, couldn’t be more excited lol. You should do an Illinois one loll
Jared Martell wishing you the best in cheeseland. Moved here from Illinois in" "97 never regretted a day being here. God Bless. And Many Blessings
Enjoy our Cheesiness! And welcome! 🧀
Born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin and hate it...but its better than Illinois!! Chicago is turning into Detroit and its making the whole region take a major turn for the worst.
steve g I agree but some city's in Illinois are beautiful
The only thing that was true is the crime in milwaukee i live in the trenches of milwaukee and i pray that in my sleep i dont get shot and the weather is honestly pretty bad but we have great summers
It got to -60 degrees last year
I was there. Had to call in work a few times because my battery died in my car.
Scott Walker won the 2010 election for governor by 6 points, the 2012 recall election by 7 points and the 2014 election by 6 points. He also became the first U.S. governor to win a recall election.
Madison, Wisconsin good place for star gazing. Hmm.
Star gazing? How about Williams Bay the home of Yerkes Observatory?
But you usually can't see the stars in Madison until the 8th or 9th beer.
That 70s show is set there so that’s a plus.
wesrm1: Also the old shows Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley!
wesrm1 all Wisconsinites love that 70s show, we grow up watching it.
No. It's set in a fictional town, one that does not exist. Wisconsin is a real place.
Craig Corson point place was a fictional town but the actual set was in Milwaukee
Pay close attention next time you watch the show and you'll notice it's actually Happy Days set in the 70s.
I don't know if have traveled to the rest of the states, but if you think wisconsin is flat, then brother you haven't been to Illinois!!!!!!!
Glenn Miller Or Nebraska. Now that's a flat state!
@trouble_with _logic illinois and florida are the two flattest states in the union. Floridia has swamps lakes and the ocean and great beaches though. Illinois has...
@trouble_with _logic ya outside of chicago there basically isnt anything.
Kisses
@@jennyh444 hi
You forgot to include driving in downtown Appleton. The roads are so lumpy that I actually had to pull over to see if I had a flat tire or not.
Wisconsin isn't bad it is actually beautiful in Wisconsin
I've lived in WI all my life , if you don't like the weather, stick around, it'll change. But even though it's flat, as was said, it's pretty beautiful with the lovely trails and scenery.
The bucket woman.
It's Boo-kay.
It isn't flat, same
Watching this from my urban house in west Allis and Take it from me I don’t smell no manure
I live in Wisconsin and last week it was 70 degrees and today it snowed. I love Wisconsin tho.
Wisconsin does not have a serious bug problem. Florida is the worst followed by Louisiana, Texas, California and Georgia.
In the South it should be expected its humid and tropical climate attracts them.
Drugs and alcoholism ruin everything.
And liberalism
Alcoholism, fat people, excess cheese, bad weather and binge drinking. Sounds like a Spring Break Party in rural Poland.
It's a funny list isn't it if that's your biggest problems you're doing pretty good
I love the cheese, but must agree with the rest. Except maybe it isn't binge drinking when it never let up.
I like Wisconsin and Minnesota, but not the weather.
Pete The Frog. Minnesota is better than Wisconsin
Bart doesn't even live there he's a troll I've seen some of his other posts.
Lmao too funny i live green bay west side i walk at midnight i never have a problem. Go Packers. I love this state.
I've been in Wisconsin for my whole life, and it doesn't smell bad EVERYWHERE.
Only if your close to a farm, does it actually smell like a farm.
Too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Too humid, too wet, too flat, too many tree's, no mountains, the sun only shines 5 minutes before it sets, it looks like Chernobyl for almost half of the year and the Packers. I must escape somehow.
I enjoy this video
As a third generation Wisconsinite, I can validate a lot of the points which you made in this video. Another BIG one you missed is the out of control Dept of Justice and Dept of Corrections. These people capitalize on "being tough on crime" but just wind up breaking up families by locking people up for lengthy sentences for relatively minor crimes involving drugs, sex and alcohol. Compare the number of incarcerations with our neighboring states and you'll see my point. The legislature and governor make minimum sentences which make it harder to rehabilitate and reintegrate citizens. "Come on vacation, leave on probation" could be the next state motto.
Tim Svea Oh yeah, and that thug former Milwaukee sheriff that Fox fake News loves to prop up, good one.
True
You hit a home run on that one. I pissed off a cop in Wisconsin and he gave me a BS DUI, i wasnt even drinking. Trying to get a decent lawyer or a fair trail was a joke and they treated me like i lived in Wisconsin when i lived in California!!!
timmmahhhh you had to edit that junk comment?! It’s like two fucking sentences..
steve g I feel you brother..im currently in dui (they call it owi) court right now from a dui where I wasn't even driving
I'm from Green Bay, and living in Green Bay is great, I live right next to the Packers Stadium, and I love hearing everyone cheering "Go Pack Go"!!
Obesity isint a problem! So what if somebody is obese except who they are!! Your just plain rude
Yes winter is bad like -57°. It only smells bad cause it helps the plants grow. I from Wisconsin and its amazing
Half of this shit I don't agree with! I love Wisconsin!
Hi
WISCONSINITES ASSEMBLE
ikr
RAAAAAHHHHHH

When you mentioned water pollution I figured you would have brought up the pollution from the paper mills. In central Wisconsin all the way down to milwaukee rivers were poisoned for decades due to the chemicals used in the paper industry. It's a ĺ better now due to the own water act but it's still not fixed.
Don't forget sewage spills. In Ashland another 5.2 million gallons spilled into lake superior. Over the last few yrs it's over 80 million total. 20 documented spills and no fines and no immediate end.
Appleton born and raised, and proud of it. Love the badger state.
Same!
I was curious to see what you had to say about Wisconsin, I’ve been listening to you for a couple years but this is the oldest one I’ve ever watched. In my mind I kept hearing the background music and sound effects! Lol. It was fun to watch one of your oldies but you’ve made great improvements!
I’m from Illinois and I frequent Wisconsin every week. Haven’t had any problems. I might even consider living there.
You like snow and wolves I'll sell you my place !!!!
Anthony Thorp snow don’t bother me at all. Chicago winters are just as bad.
Anthony Thorp I love Wolves, but from a distance and I'm a cold preferring person rather than having immense heat. How about we switch states and you take Connecticut and I'll take Wisconsin :)
Willie Ikerd Respectfully, they're probably not because Wisconsin is further north and whatever is further north usually is colder and gets the brunt of it more.
