You thought the fence law video was an April Fool's joke...Suprise! It was a pilot episode!
It was really interesting too 😁
He knows what his viewers want.
@@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721 I want more and longer videos of useless facts. The first 3 weren't enough.
Misrepresenting margarine as real butter being illegal is a good law
I agree.
U.S. federal Code mandates proper labeling of butter and margarine.
As a Missouri resident i agree with your statement.
It was the dairy farmers that got that passed
Came here to say this. 👍🏻
Well, there goes my side hustle idea of using model glue to surgically alter bears and organize a bear wrestling tournament!
I'm gonna eat all of the glue anyways.
Move to Kansas?
So what are you going to do with the bears now?
@@spacecowboy2957 Bear boxing was not outlawed.
Darn
Hes a Missouri law channel now.
Someone needs to send this to Legal Eagle.

I'm here for it 😂😂😂
Yes!
Some bureaucrat in Springfield really hated kids huffing glue and/or model train/airplane/boat/etc enthusiasts.
"They'll buy the snap-together models and they'll like it!"
At that point its probably easier to get high off of things that are actually illegal.
A kid likely died.
Socialists run Springfield.
Being from springfeild i can say starting around age 10 i built my first model kit (the Enterprise) till my 18 th birthday i built and repaired many kits and never got hassled over buying glue guess the Spld pd didn't care to mess with it.
Yard sale law is funny as hell.
My retired neighbor had a garage sale sign up for 8 years. He would just open the garage door every morning. It was practically a thrift store in his garage. And his wife would go to other local thrift stores to restock.... No business license, no tax, always cash. And he always had someone to talk to.
Seemed to be the hot ticket
When we moved to Springfield in 2002, they still had a law that said it was OK to have an open container of alcohol in the car just as long as the driver wasn't holding it.
I calle this the "hold by beer" law.
That's a still valid state law
Up until about 2012, in Montana. It was legal to drive and drink, as long as you were not intoxicated. There was no open container law.
You live in Springfield Missouri?
I found a law from around 2012 (!) about playing in the street in Rome, saying "it's forbidden to play instruments that are annoying by nature, such as the trumpet"😂
That's pure class
Cuz you KNOW someone was doing that 😂
As a resident of Missouri, I find this very informative. There is a law that is also goofy in Rolla. You are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverages out of a 5 gallon bucket on any city curb on a Sunday morning. Also a little side note the the Night host of KSHE 95 a local station out of St.Louis actually engaged in hand to paw combat with a bear and won. What a badass
that rolla thing doesn't exist
The model glue law is likely due to kids using it for huffing.
Yeah it's pretty sensible. Solvent abuse can unalive you instantly
Because we all know, nobody above the age of 18 huffs solvents.
@@Lithdren Well, solvent abuse was a near-epidemic amongst adolescents in the 1980s - 1990s.
@@skortyspice Instantly, no. Chronically, yes.
I was wondering what kind of nefarious tomfoolery was happening that prompted the stuff to be effectively outlawed. That makes a lot of unfortunate sense.
next you should do "A Liquid 15 Minutes of Weird Laws In My Home State"
Edit: now my comment doesn't make sense, the old title of the video was "a solid 15 minutes of weird laws in my home state"

"Sniffing glue" was one of the big antidrug boogeymen I remember hearing about in the 1907s and 80s. At least the lawmakers drew out the exception for model building, the glue's legitimate use, when crafting the bill.
Wow you must be ancient you were alive from 1907 to now!
Sniffing glue is a bad idea.
The 1907's was truly a wild decade.
Man I miss the 1907s. 😔
Mostly forgotten now of course, the 1907's were absolutely bonkers
Surgically altering bears for bear wrestling is very sad. It usually means detoothing and declawing it so that it can't maul the wrestler
Perfect timing, I head for Springfield day after tomorrow. Time to learn me some stuff likely to never come up in conversation.
And you can learn how to keep yourself out of jail at the same time. Two birds, one stone.
A shocking number of obscure laws that have been on the books in all states and are most often still in effect simply due to having been long forgotten are, unsurprisingly, the direct results of the actions and behaviors of individuals who, either intentionally or unintentionally, managed to upset a large number of other citizens who, for whatever reason, have agreed that the stated actions are unacceptable. For instance, in Nevada, it is prohibited to drive your camel on interstate freeways. There's only one plausible explanation for this, that someone who owned a camel rode said camel on the freeway to which a majority of other people objected.
It's _very_ unlikely that an entire majority demands such law. More likely is that it upsets a senator, which they put a bill and rubberstamp it.
I have not looked up the actual law for Nevada but I highly doubt there is a law that makes it illegal to ride a Camel in a freeway. Or only singles out camels. In reality with nearly every single one of these supposed strange laws camel was added to a list of other animals like horses or cows.
Source? I've actually looked up a lot of these strange laws before and most are not very strange and are intentionally misrepresented or taken out of context to make them look strange. Most are actually quite lame.
The gong sounding one is obviously caused by a troll going around sounding their gong to scare and annoy people lol
@@MmmmJuicy Quite possibly.
@@dimesonhiseyes9134 "are intentionally misrepresented or taken out of context"
This is true enough and I think that a lot of the time this is down to a game of telephone.
There's a good example of how this might happen in this very video. @6:00 "Maybe you're a missouri resident looking to buy a car. Better not do it on sundays". Yeah, the law is 'kind of weird' on it's own. It's easy to see how exaggerating it into something 'really weird' could happen through regular ol' laziness.
A bad writer who isn't doing any research could easily take that segment to mean that you can't buy a car on sundays *or* that you can't sell a car on sundays. Neither is true, but that won't stop him from printing something to that effect.
RSMO 578.120 explicitly applies to licensed car dealers, distributors, and manufacturers. If I, as a missouri resident, privately sell a car to another missouri resident on sunday, that's completely legal.
As someone moving to Missouri soon, thanks for the heads up. I was really planning on starting a model glue business
I'm moving there next week. Guess I'll have to look for another side gig now.
@@Wes-hl9si I’m sorry that’s your experience. I grew up in the Bootheel, and loved it. We moved away then came back to SWMO. We didn’t know anyone here but it’s been lovely. Way better than NY 💯
AUSTIN Can you PLEASE cover that one time our state elected a DEAD GUY over John Ashcroft? And really odd part: the ded guy's wife, IIRC, became governor instead, like we have a weird gubernatorial monarchy?
It was the 2000 Senate elections, not gubernatorial elections
@@vibce OK thanks, I was 10: we almost got the day off school, but due to his "love for education" that was decided against last second. He _was_ governor, running for senate; his wife was appointed Lt. Governor for his remaining term. It was still a video-worthy event, IMO. Between our civil forfeiture laws and Todd "legitimate r--" Akin, my state thinking a corpse would be better than John Ashcroft was a rare moment where I was proud to be a Missourian.
There's a specific term for this sort of event in the world of politics - Widow's succession.
It has officially happened *a lot* in US politics. I'm gonna say that when you get into the weeds, it has happened a lot more than is official. It happens sometimes that an official isn't dead but is fundamentally incapable of their official duties and the wife takes over. Ostensibly until the elected official can return to duty, but that's sometimes not really a possibility. A famous instance of this would be the case of Woodrow and Edith Wilson. Unfortunately, the laws around these sort of things *usually* require nothing more than a heartbeat for a person to fill an office on paper.
The only unusual part of the ashcroft/carnahan story is that he was dead for nearly a month pre-election. Still, there was an office that needed to be filled.
In US widow's succession is only allowed up until a special election can be held. Which is what happened with Jean Carnahan. We held a special election for the seat in 2002.
Missouri has not always been a Republican hellscape.
I was one of those people who voted for the dead man. I didn’t like Ashcroft.
If Austin did audiobooks, I would be listen all day. He's got a great speaking cadence and makes anything sound interesting.
Agreed. Also, I'd listen to Hannah Barron doing audio books.
The one about carrying a garbage bag containing an EMPTY bottle that once contained alcohol is just plain unhinged.
It's the minor in possession law, it's so vague that a minor can be charged if they even touch the container the alcohol container (or former container) is in.
When I was a teenager I was warned from a police officer that if I had a garbage bag in the back of the truck that had smashed up beer cans within it I could be charged with open container. I'm not sure a judge would allow it to proceed, but it likely is still a law. This was in Missouri.
In the mid-80s, I bought a plastic kit of an M-16 at a Springfield hobby shop. Little did I know that the glue I used was considered far more dangerous to possess than a full-scale replica of a fully-automatic rifle... which I even took to school for "Rambo Day." The times have clearly... changed... a bit, since then.
We actually do still have a "bachelor tax". It just isn't a direct tax of a specific amount. The income tax brackets and rates penalize being single over being a head of household (single with dependents) or married.
that should be illigal.
"I don't need sleep, I need answers!!!"
I’m a resident of this beautiful state I have an answer for you. It’s Missouri you kinda have to live here to get it but all the bear laws which there’s a lot of manly cuz there so common to find people decided to do crazy shit like fighting them which a radio host in St.Louis actually did
Considering also the fence law video, one wonders what battles on the homefront Austin is fighting.
In Fort Wayne, IN it’s illegal to walk across the street with a watermelon over your head
I can do you one better. In Minnesota, it is illegal to cross state lines with a duck atop your head. I win.
Learn your commas.
@@spacecowboy2957 How would you enforce that?
@@johnnotrealname8168 Do you have any ideas?
@@spacecowboy2957 No.
I didn't expect this to be a series, but I'm here for it.
I'd tune in weekly for a long-form series covering obscure or silly laws from every state from a number of specified categories.
I live in Columbia, MO and I know exactly how the largest dealership in the city gets around the no car sales on Sunday rule. He owns 11 different businesses within the city limits (and more in other cities and states) that are all registered as car dealerships. They share inventory so every individual lot can count as a car show involving at least 11 dealerships.
I live in Missouri too, and he's not joking. It gets worse. He could have went another 30 minutes and still not cover it all.
Move...go to Illinois....maybe Chicago.
At a Dollar Tree, they did or do sell laser pointers, and I can confirm, I was age checked.
I won't say which retail store is unknowingly breaking the ridiculous model glue rule in Springfield, but their business name rhymes with Hallmart, lol.
Okay, the bear wrestling law is so hyperspecific that I now have a burning need to know what on Earth happened in Missouri to make that a thing. Somewhere in the state's history, there's a story about someone who organized a bear wrestling tournament with surgically altered bears and I absolutely need to hear Austin talk about it.
Not necessarily, bear wrestling was actually a thing back in the post civil war time up to even the mid 1900s. It actually started in Europe in the early 1800s, and then came to the US and Mexico. There would be someone would bring a bear into a small town and offer a set amount of money if a person could stay in the cage/ring with the bear for a set amount of time. There were also some businesses, like saloons and bars, that would have a bear on site for someone to wrestle. The surgically altered part is because some would take the bears teeth and claws out so the bear couldn’t kill a person.
@@TheCrazyMoparDude68 Huh. Interesting.
1800s and early 1900s Bear wrestling was a "sport" across the Midwestern and the "old" western states.
People were getting killed for entertainment, and animals hurt.
So, a lot of the states involved in it banned the practice.
"I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah!"
It's usually the ppl from Iowa that call it that. Everybody else copy's them. Iowa has it's own acronym that explains the confusion...
@@demandred1957 It's a Simpsons quote.
Nobody from Missouri actually says it like that
After all, if people are allowed to call it Missourah, they should be required to say Mississippah.
@@kyrataylor2035 YES
i work at the KC public library. proud to see we're doing the good work.
If there was a law against run on sentences you could just shut the whole state down based on that alone.
It's a good thing he got the fence laws out the way because this video would be waaaaaayyyyyyyyy longer.
The sports official one is legit. Sports parents can be a special kind of crazy.
In fairness, there are numerous states and municipalities that regulate the sale of model glue due to its potential for abuse as an inhalant
That laser pointer one is super reasonable honestly. You ever see how kids behave with those things?
The laser pointer law was because children were pointing them at the sky at night and supposedly this caused problems for both private and commercial aviation. Missouri is not the only state that passed legislation on this matter.
@@tenabarnes3269 Yeah, and in case some people don't know, there are some laser pointers that are more a lot more powerful and dangerous than the ones that are sold as cat toys. Kids would point these at airplanes and actually blind (at least temporarily) pilots.
@@tenabarnes3269 I was a flight medic in the 2000s and this was a problem for us on multiple occasions(in MO)
mhm, also it's surprisingly to cause pretty serious eye damage with one.
As a missouri state citizen, this place is wack
Try Illinois 🤣, you don't know "whacked" you don't know how lucky we have it here in Missouri.
I avoid that state like the plague @SouthernGround
As a fellow life-long Missourian, yes, yes it is 😂
In Texas, if you get caught with wire cutters in your back pocket, that means you're cattle rustling and you can get hung for that
I'd really love to hear more about what brought some of these odd laws into being, if you do more videos like this. Some can be reasonably guessed at, others not so much, and I'd enjoy learning more about both. :)
I love pointless and stupid laws! This will likely be mildly more entertaining then fences and their legality!
We are learning more and more about Missouri lately
Please do a video about the history of Missouri bear wrestling! I am super curious why that became a law. That surgical alteration part is especially intriguing
It probably simply means removing teeth and/or claws to make the bear less lethal at the sport.
@selkie76 I'm sure you're right, but isn't it more exciting to think they're adding lasers and biomechanical implants?
Illinois has the same Sunday car sales law.
Obviously there is no law about using the phrase "solid 15 minutes" flippantly😂. Thanks for the content Austin. I always enjoy it.
Ah yes, the Bible clearly states "Thou shalt not sell a Kia Sorento on the Lord's Day." I'm glad Missouri is keeping this day holy.
youre right, tho it does mention to not purchase anything on the sabbath
King of the hill?
A direct copy and paste,
"Missouri law does not require employers to provide employees a break of any kind, including a lunch hour."
This was very fun when I was working 12-16 hr restaurant shifts! 🙂
that's true of most states unfortunately. only 21 states have mandated work breaks
Try Six Flags. They purposefully understaff, then the under-16s no-show, leaving the rest of the crews woefully short handed, so nobody gets a break, esp on busy days like holiday weekends. I got stuck at the hand stamp exit for almost eight hours straight one day, after the first half hour, all I saw was a wall of hands. Morning shift lead told evening shift lead everybody on her crew was gone. They completely forgot about me. Or even taking hourly number counts. I couldn’t walk for an hour after that, and asked another employee to wheelchair me up to HR where my car was parked. Memorial Day 2017.
As a non-native transplant to MO, thanks for keeping me safe from possible conviction and/or incarceration. Pretty sure that would have been the ONLY consequence of the bear wrestling match I was organizing! 😅🐻
A very compelling follow-up to that fence law masterpiece in April.
Dude, you can't keep releasing these on my days off. People at work are going to think I'm weird if I keep coming back with legal knowledge from Missouri.
True fact: Sunsets in Missouri are even more beautiful in autumn. On my first trip through Missouri I witnessed a particularly spectacular one. So crazy laws or no, I shall be back.
9:19 I will have to avoid Overland tho. 😂
There are people in Springfield who have a yard/garage sale nonstop for years until they pass away or move. Rarely do they shut them down. It takes a neighbor calling daily to get them shut down.
Finally someone is serious about model glue.
Some of these aren't too crazy. The model glue one is probably to prevent solvent abuse, especially by minors.
But why specufically model glue and not other adhesives? Or paints? Sounds more like some people really hated hobby shops.
“Enjoying solitude”… Good joke Austin. Good joke. 😂
Stay safe out in Missouri today. As a neighbor in KS, we’re bracing for tornadoes 😅
Every hobby store I’ve been to in Springfield MO is in violation of that law about glue display.
Maw and paw shop in Brandon, every local game store, Hobbytown, etc…
And almost every Warhammer player I know has violated the glue law.
Holy crap Missouri actually made a law against arming bears.
More than likely I would imagine its to prevent bears from being declawed in order to facilitate bear wrestling.
I did a bit of digging and found an article about this law. Apparently, bear wrestling was something of a local sport before the law was passed. The article even makes a reference to someone named Ransom Prine who was supposedly a professional bear wrestler.
@@TheFinalFanboy "professional bear wrestler" goes hard.
I had a dog named Bear, and we wrestled all the time. I hope no one noticed.
@@MeriDougso did I, but he was a Pomeranian

Hi from NJ where buying a motor vechicle is also illegal on Sunday
ETA most if not all gas stations will be open but most if not all shops will be closed.
I try not to gas up when I'm traveling in or around New Jersey.
Thanks Austin for the shout out for Perryville MO's silly laws, Strangely I reside in that town due to work, and my sister and her family live near you in Nixa MO also due to their work requiring them to relocate to that area.
Germany still has a "Bachelor" tax. It's for everyone who is unmarried. not just men. Germany has 6 classes of income tax:
Lohnsteuerklasse I: Unmarried people, or married people who don't live together.
Lohnsteuerklasse II: Same as I, but with kids.
Lohnsteuerklasse III: Married and living together, and the spouse picks V.
Lohnsteuerklasse IV: Married and living together.
Lohnsteuerklasse V: Married and living together, and the spouse picks III.
Lohnsteuerklasse VI: Only used for additional jobs. The first job is always taxed one of I - V, any additional job is taxed VI.
Based on the class you pay more or less income tax. Generally VI is worst, I is second worst, and the rest is complicated.
It's still a part of US federal taxes and most state taxes too. I'm not really sure where this guy is coming from on that one.
It's just reworded now. Instead of a tax penalty for being single, you get a tax break for being married. The math is identical no matter how you word it though.
Missouri? More like Misery
Yep
facts
Meh. It’s not that bad.
As a born missourian No 1 really cares about those Weird laws Because 75% of Missouri is out in the countryside Including me
Haha when I'm having a bad day sometimes I will say something like, "Well how can I not be having a bad day, I live in Misery!" I'm so dramatic! But really I love Missouri!
In Malden, Mo, it's against the law to spit on the sidewalk.
It goes back to being a railroad town, having wooden walkways, and a lack of spittoons causing damage to dresses.
Yes you get a fine in many cities for spitting on the sidewalk. However, puking is free!
Dang, my gong bong isnt permitted in Missouri! Times are sad.
Nothing says happiness like sucking down a cloud of sativa express, then upon the seal being broken the gong sounds for that sweet meditation of euphoria bliss.
For some odd reason, I feel enlightened in a weird sort of way. Could there be a circle of randomness in which random information could become not so random at all?
10/10 content as always
The model glue one is actually based in tragedy. High school students in Springfield started huffing the stuff and several died from the effects…
As a fellow Missourian, thank you for making this video
what, wait - _wait_ *WHAT* - Footloose is _TRUE_ Purdy, Missouri actually does have a ban on school dances. I was about 12 or 13 when the movie 'Footloose' was released in 1984 thinking 'what a *ridiculous* concept for a film', only to find out in 2024 that there is some basis in truth, in reality.... (ok, well not the "town limits" - but still...)
not that I would ever doubt your word or research Austin...
" _A ban on school dances in a small Missouri town survived Supreme Court review today_
_Without comment, the Court refused to hear a challenge by a group of students and their parents in Purdy, Mo., to the ban. They argued that the policy, reflecting the Christian fundamentalist view that social dancing is sinful, violated the constitutionally required separation of church and state_
_Fundamentalist Christians make up a majority of Purdy's residents, and a group of ministers took the leading role in preserving the century-old ban when school officials considered modifying it in 1986_
_Joan Fox, a parent and plaintiff along with her son and husband, said the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case was ''a real loss for students in this community and around the country.'' Mrs. Fox called on the school board to voluntarily abandon the 100-year-old dance ban. source: New York Times_ "
Yeah, my dad was apart of the kids that protested- Also, the footloose thing is kind of an inside joke amongst Purdy residents :)
@@FallingMoonXoffical well done your dad - at least he tried to make a difference. 👍☺
yeah, I can understand that - better to laugh, make it a joke - than dwell on it 😁
Footloose isn't based on Purdy according to the writers/producers/director, it's based on one of their own home towns.
But yes, Purdy, you can't dance, I grew up in the county seat, and Purdy did give tickets for public dancing or listening to music. It's a stupid law that generates a lot of money for the village.
@FallingMoonXoffical I still live in the area. It's a stupid law that generates a lot of money for the village, and by extention the county seat in event rentals and associated taxs.
WHY CAN’T I WRESTLE A BEAR!!!!!???!?!!
My dad's friend paid a guy at a hunting and game show to wrestle his bear a few decades back. The friend didn't win, though.
You can, but only once.
It's ok it's only a misdemeanor
Because his Highness Wojtek, King of Poland, has declared it so
Because until the last 5 years there wasn't any to enlist.
They are considered extirpated
I just love these weird laws, and btw; I don't think I've listened as intently to something in a very long time as I did during your fence law-video! My brain seem to really vibe with that subject and the monotony and absurdity of it all.
Springfield having a stricter model glue control law than the US has gun control laws.
You spent a minute and 10 seconds on the intro, as well as a minute on the outro, giving us only 13 minutes of laws. Is there a law that lets me sue you for this ?
Why am I sitting here on a Saturday watching this as a non Missouri resident😂😂😂
How perfect, I move there next week!
Me too
my condolences
The bear wrestling laws are to prevent animal abuse, there are other states that allow some pretty horrific things when it comes to predators. In Missouri we actually have extremely strict laws regarding hunting in general including the ways in which we are allowed to hunt predators/trophy hunt. Other states have wildlife killing contests for coyotes/foxes/wolves/cougars and the like while we do not allow that here.
This is true. Missouri is a major conservation hub and in general led the way for other industry such as MFA. Also, Missouri usually has the most charted caves, with Arkansas sometimes finding more annually. You used to be able to get a different license plate featuring artwork referencing the cave state.
I moved from Springfield, MO just over 15 years ago and it was the best decision of my life. I'm 43 now, and the thought of moving back to Missouri fills me with existential dread.
would you say living there filled you with.... misery?
You too!? I thought I was the only one that hates Springfield. Left in 01', never looked back. Have to visit family on occasion, but that just reminds me how much I hate it and never lets me get nostalgic.
Must not have lived somewhere where the hippies rule then, try Illinois. You request your acre of misery back quickly, bunch of invalid run that state. I've never been happier with the logical downt to earth people of Missouri. Meth addicts discluded, as nobody should count the idiots on speed as a factor, they're now everywhere.
To be fair, Springfield sucks but there's other towns that are much better. I've been in MO since 2009 and it's much better than the other states I've lived in.
I also have this dread every time I have to go back to Missouri. I like Joplin, but basically everywhere else I hate because of old bad memories. Lots of depression just trying to muster the will to get up and get in the car to go. Stay strong bro
I guarantee the model glue thing is due to hysteria around inhalants during a drug panic.
I’m from Moberly. So, when I was in ninth grade our student body, took to using “stink bombs in random locations in Moberly particularly the vents of public places and the schools. However, MLS a molasses feed producer stinks the whole town up all summer 😂
@11.00 I guess this is due to a fear of/problem with glue sniffing, so sad =(
I would like to hear one on Minnesota 💜
Wooo missouri mention
more minutes of austin talking about things!
this time weird laws in missouri!
nice!
Texas has a similar law about selling cars on Sunday (although technically they're allowed to pick which weekend day to close on). The law's defenders claim it's meant to protect car salesmen from being overworked.
Oklahoma is the same way. I moved here from Missouri and thought Oklahoma was weird by comparison, but I think Oklahoma is closer to normal now.
Misery...the best state.
Show me ! 😂😂😂😂
Can't wrestle a bear, but can you assert your dominance and get taken back to the bears home world, start and uprising and become supreme leader?
As long as wrestling is not involved…presumably?
I live in excelsior springs mo. I had no idea it was illegal to throw snow
Surgically altering a bear for bear wrestling sounds like the backstory of a super-bear Superzeroes character, complete with evil bear wrestling surgeon nemesis.
