"Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer." Is an absolute banger of a line.
It was in Rick and Morty.
@@CyberKirby still works wonders
As a CA resident, I support this message
And we've seen what California cheers for. Looking at Skid Row and Bay Area everywhere.
Yeeeah...not the biggest fan of the state I was born and raised in for so many of those reasons...
I love the fact that Ohio lost the bet and it wasn't the voters who chose both of those things with double digit margins but is still trying to figure out a way not to allow either one of them...
yea as a Michigander there are some things better then democracy and see everyone is happy
@@dusk2308 "there are some things better than democracy" - care to explain that statement a bit more?
@@nicholassano2854 Given the context, I'm pretty sure they mean "winning college football."
Assholes ARE trying to find a way to not let them stand.
Which, considering what they've done with the redistricting amendment (anti gerrymandering effort) even AFTER the Supreme Court told them they HAD to...
It's about the only thing that makes me want to move back to CA. .
As an Ohioan who doesn't care about football this makes me incredibly happy. It's so fun to text people after the game and be like "so how'd it go?" And I the line at the weed shop (what do you call those, I don't do weed?) was super long with both protesters and people excited to buy, it was funny to watch
As a prior serviceman, I did indeed enjoy that dig at officers. 😂 NCO’s do all the real work
Laughs in E4
@@Outlaw_Deadman1996 Lol, fair. I was leading most of the clean up and maintenance assignments while the sergeants were in the company office.
@@Outlaw_Deadman1996 E4 Mafia!
No, NCOs watch the non-NCO enlisted work. They sometimes help, if the job isn't too dirty. (Terminal Lance here)
@@AlyxiSistahTweaky25isn't an non-NCO just an co?
Gods, as a Floridian i love that Ben had to pop in as himself to be like...yeah no, no Floridians do Not like this, but apparently the place we're most powerless is our own state. Honestly i think the most surprising thing is just that we haven't just straight up killed him yet. Also thank you for mentioning the whole "Florida laws are fucky and that's the actual reason Florida man even became a thing" because like, y'all Florida be crazy but it ain't like y'all ain't just as crazy.
And yeah Miami is just Cuba you can drive to
Yeah, though how many states have a city where one key piece of advice during spring break is to watch your head for falling drunks.
@thejestor9378 okay fair but for spring break? That's not Florida's fault, that's all the damn northerners coming down to trash our beaches!!!! No one hates spring break like a Florida local
Everyday that goes by with no headline reading "Ronny boy clubbed in face by a gang of Florida men" leaves me more and more depressed
@@thejestor9378 being from that area, we wish you'd keep your drunks to yourself for spring break
The other thing to notice is how many of those stories are about crimes of poverty.
Public intoxication? Didn't have a house to drink in, or a friend to drive him home.
Nude in public? Sex in public? See above.
Fighting? Witnesses watch (and cheer) instead of breaking it up before they get in trouble.
Once you know to look for it, you'll realize most of those stories wouldn't even involve police if they had even middle-class money.
"Your boos mean nothing to me, Ive seen what you cheer" love that line
1. As a Californian, I need "Your boos mean nothing to me; I've seen what you cheer" on a, er, torso covering, if you take my meaning.
2. If the last three generations of vets in my family are any indication, the officers will laugh at that joke, too. (At least Granddad will. He started out enlisted.)
Mustangs don't count, they're just enlisted with shiny bits. Real officers hate those kinds of jokes.
@@TheDarkPreacher65 Dude was literally just a lawyer with shiny gold leaves to make him feel special in his blue uniform.
@@Sigma-gb9yd
Are we going to mention the ridiculous dress whites? Or is that too easy?
Given that is a Rick and Morty line, I would be surprised if it is not on a torso covering of some kind somewhere.
Ben Brainard was in the Army Corps of Engineers for part of his career, so it's not shocking that he picked up a few things.
As an Ohioan, this video made me laugh. Also, #goblue
Our governor and MI's governor do bet sweets on the game. MI bet some locally made ice cream and sweet treats, and I think Ohio's governor also bet sweet treats. OH's governor had to send Big Gretch a box of locally made OH sweets, 3 years in a row!
And it turned out that Wolverines can't even play fair.
I think that's an awesome tradition between those two state Governors.
Go blue!
yea it's a pretty common thing happens w the SuperBowl 2 the mayors of the 2 teams will usually bet the Local favorite dish to there respective city
Wholesome at it's finest
As a lifelong Floridian, Ben is spot on with the hypocritical crap going on here.
"he was an officer" truer words never spoken before
Do lawyers count as actual officers? I think not.
He was in *legal* too, even officers will clown on legal. I clown on legal, I'm a POG in a POG unit, and I saw legal at the range. Cooks get to clown on legal being POGs.
@@BenHyle Air wing USMC here. Even we get to rag on Legal.
California’s “you guys are so weird” in regards to college football related to me so much… as a Californian who could care less about the sport.
Hell yeah brotha
Not just California even before I move to Georgia I never understood college football.
Not a true American than, rip Caleb Williams though
@@1985toyotacamrywell that’s your loss, do better
@@qubed8465 I'm from South Florida we ain't like the North Florida get it right. It's not my fault that Basketball is majority of people minds in South Florida anyway
California coming in hot there at the end 😂. Love it when Ben joins the table as himself. You always know where going to get something good
Genuinely, I work for the wife of the Sheriff in my area (in Florida) and she talks to one of our customers every morning about how they (her and her husband) hate DeSantis because he treats everyone horribly and is egotistical. They go to a lot of political meetings with him and stuff. Hell, my mom works for a pretty hardcore Republican non profit (the kind of company that bans books and those kinds of things) and even her and her coworkers know that DeSantis is a bad dude because he’s interacted with them or they’ve talked to people affiliated with him. I genuinely don’t know how any educated person can be supporting him
Ronny has basically made dissent illegal
Here's how any educated person can be supporting him: they can have too many things to pay attention to and so not know his evil deeds. I know I liked him a bit before I saw this video. I didn't vote for him though and I didn't like what he and the Floridian legislature did to Disney.
@@Reubentheimitator6572 that’s what I meant by educated; I didn’t mean it as a dig at intelligence, I meant it as anyone not ignorant to the things he’s doing! Sorry if that wasn’t clear :)
@@Reubentheimitator6572 I agree with your views on Disney, however I think that the transphobic bills that have been passed are more important than that
Yep.
"The prior enlisted will and that's good enough for me." THANK YOU!
“I got other ways of getting information from people”😂 Do it NY!
His outtake of Florida going 'Banned' over and over had me imagining him pointing at things off screen and saying they're banned. This image was really funny to me for some reason.
that officer line was perfect.
That's right up there with "Don't call me sir, I work for a living."
@@TheDarkPreacher65 "Don't call me sir, my parents were married."
@@TheDarkPreacher65, I often heard my WII Naval radio operator Dad say that line! Thanks for the memory jog!
The enlisted definitely do enjoy your officer joke
FSU being left out like that honestly seems too believable except the SEC wasnt handing out bribes while doing so.
"he was an officer" had me rolling. Thank you brother
On behalf of the enlisted. Yes. We loved that one.
Him being an officer makes alot of sense.
Yeah he worked with JAG at Guantanamo as a legal officer which just makes far too much sense
@@ThePunkHobbit
And was a legal consult for the SEALs. Not qualified, just their lawyer.
@@ThePunkHobbithe also apparently helped torture people in Gitmo.
Holy shit the immediate cut to the college football playoff committee killed me 😂😂😂
Not expecting California to quote Rick and morty
Always a good day when Ben posts
If you remove the punctuation this becomes the usa bans secrets and football drama, and i kinda want to watch that now
I’m going to make a needlepoint that says “Your boos mean nothing to me - I’ve seen what you cheer!”The kids in my life have offered to help me design it. I’m slow, so it’ll take a minute, but I’ll let you know how it turns out. 🤣🤣🤣
Loving the downstate representation with Illinois and the Normal t-shirt. And the only people here angry about blocking book bans are people who are angry about books on gay penguins.
As someone who is currently enlisted (hooyah US Navy), and a Florida resident, I did enjoy that dig at DeSantis for being an officer. Now, don’t forget to update your NFAAS if you’re in the Navy. Chief is on the warpath today.
I love The Table so much ❤ and it really helps me (kinda...) to understand America! I am so glad to be Portuguese 😂 (don't came at me because what Guterres said in the UN... He does not speak for us all 😅)
You're good.
Just remember: The US is a bunch of states Frankensteined together with the mind of a toddler.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the way you can make this crazy world less stressful, and much funnier. 😊
This is the best " news " I watched today! I enjoy the accuracy!😁👍
Loved the old newspaper spin-in
Banning bans that banter the ban of books...say that 10 times fast. 😅
That ten times fast
@@suzannepottsshorts Clever. 😅
no
"Didn't see any of that coming", XD 02:37
Not gonna lie, it was a sweet day when we (Michigan) beat that team that is south of us! #GoBlue
If you ever need a stand-in for Washington State [that's right, I clarified which one..yoouuu know why].. I've got my Birkenstocks and wool socks on and I'm ready to go!
Weed being legal in Michigan is driving me insane. I live in Monroe and 7 restaurants shut down and weed stores moved in. We have like 5 actuall resteraunts and around 13 weed stores
Lmaoooo you know that means y'all are slackin on restaurants, and demand for weed stores is just that high, right? Like it's not weed's fault your state is apparently full of desperate stoners 😂
@@chickenanon nah it's just my shitty city. Never seen it as bad as here in the rest of the state
Plus it seems like every other billboard is for a pot shop, especially once you get close to the weed capital of the state. (Which, surprisingly, isn't Ann Arbor, it's Bay City).
@t0xix904 oh so it's just your CITY thats all desperate potheads who don't wanna go to restaurants lmaooo
That might change here soon. Alot of Ohioans were going up to MI, specifically Monroe area to buy weed. There's billboards all along that stretch of highway literally pointing to where the weed stores are. But now it's legal in OH, demand in Southern MI might go down a little.
Cali clapped back HARD this episode
"The prior enlisted will and that's ok by me" yes we do fellow 88 yes we do 🤘
"Your boos mean nothing, ive seen what you cheer" is such a metal line
And it has come out, that a school district in FL has now banned Anne Frank's Diary, a couple of other recommended classical novels, and more importantly, ENCYCLOPEDIAS AND MIRRIAM-WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY
Surprised you didn't have Florida being mopey because Florida State got snubbed for the college playoff finals.
I think he covered it with "Leave me out of this." "Got it." "No, wait!"
@@okguy167
Ohh, THAT'S what that meant. This is what I get for not caring about college sports.
Even the federal government booing California at the end was hysterical (speaking as someone who's normally 100% in California's corner).
Does a ban on all bans that don't ban themselves ban itself?
…Yes?
*vsauce music plays*
"your boos mean nothing to me. I've seen what you cheer."
Bwahahahahaha
I got a book pulled from the school library when I was in high school. It was a book on creationism from Answers in Genesis in which atheism, homosexuality, abortion, evolution, divorce, etc were presented as evil and acts of Satan.
No regrets.
Doing God's work. 😂
Ronnie Boy was at Gitmo too, it I recall.
"But now what will make her dance?" 😂😂😂😂
Prior enlisted: I approve
As a prior enlisted, I get the joke of of “don’t call me sue, I work for a living”. As a specialist, I loved my captain for allowing me to drink underage in the barracks. As an adult and a deputy Director, I get leading from behind and making sure my staff has the tools and training they need to get shit done. I don’t want them bogged down with administrative work, phone calls, emails, and meetings. I need them focused and yes, working the actual job
I heckin' adore you, sir!
This show is me primary channel for foreing news about US. Hello from Finlanda and Ben, keep up the good work! Btw, ever planned to do gig or few in Finland? As most here speak good English, you really should run small tour here too!
Another great episode Ben!
Prior enlisted here, loved the officer dig. Got a chuckle out me. Rah
Good to be back at the table.
"He was an officer" 😂
Prior enlisted, enjoyed that joke.
He wasn't just an officer, he was a JAG officer. As in a slimy navy lawyer. As in the officers that tended to not wear camo in country so the enemy "wouldn't think they were combatants" ( quote from an actual JAG officer I saw in Al Taqedum (TQ), Iraq wearing his khakis instead of camo)
That makes way too much sense...
“yeah, leave me out of that!”
sec: “you got it pal”
might be one of my favorite jokes you’ve made ben.
As prior enlisted... I love it 😂😂
Totally correct on the officer bit.
I think even Texas liked California’s one-liner.
This prior enlisted is absolutely okay with it 😊
Great Commentary. A "Prior Enlisted" approves. ;-)
Excellent table
The prior enlisted do get it and also approve. Joke on funny man, joke on.
Lol, the prior enlisted will, and that's good enough for me
Another proud born-and-bred Illinoisan!!! Woohoooo!!!!
great to have the table back at full capacity
Now what will make her dance got me😂😂😂
1:15 as a prior enlisted that was a good dig.
I appreciate Ben going the extra mile by not only having a Vernor's in his hand, but the limited edition Black Cherry version.
(Black Cherry is a fucking delight, straight or with numerous spirit companions. As opposed to the Faygo Blaspop which is only good as a mixer)
Michigan should be *more clearly holding a Vernors. Or Faygo lol
I believe he’s holding the black cherry Vernors.
@@tiffanypatton9293 I honestly thought it was Dr pepper
@@mcpossumI can see that, similar color
@@tiffanypatton9293 I edited my comment lol I didn't even think about the seasonal Vernor flavors 🤣
Love it when California actually comes up with a burner of a line
Yeah complaining about either party in the US redistricting is the pot calling the kettle black. My favorite was when the Democrats created an electoral district that was "connected" by running several miles along an interstate.
Yeah I was gonna add...both parties have been gerrymandering since there were political parties.
I live in Michigan but I didn’t even know that black cherry flavored Vernors existed but now I need it.
Yes, the prior enlisted liked that!
As a 26 year US Navy enlisted veteran, I approve this message! 😂
New York what are these "other ways"
No, yeah, no, the Toledo War Champs tshirt is spot on.
highly enjoy your humor and facts
That's more like it California, be unapologetically smug about being on that high horse.
Great video.
Ha! “Leave me out of it”
Tolerance is a social contract. When someone breaks it, you are under no obligation to tolerate their actions. Ban book bans.
Yes. They mostly are. If you disagree, the bully bunch will gang up on you.
Honestly, Im happy that my homestate of Ohio finally legalized recreational weed. My old college roommate will be a happy camper now.
Except that Republicans in the Ohio state legislature are working around the clock to find ways to prevent the will of the people from actually being implemented
I think that now you are just describing the entire government's job at this point.
As a michigander I approve of this message... 😁
And did not expect us to win🤣
And GO LIONS!!! 🥳
We got that wood chucker 🤯.
Find one? HAHAHA... I have a LIST, Ben. A LIST.
Provide that list then
You rock bruh!
Prior enlisted here. But that subtle dig in football that slipped through hurt.
The enlisted do. Thank you.
California should pull an Austin and remove his beanie. Let the great state of Jefferson out.
De-Sucknuts was an Oralfical? Makes sense now
As prior enlisted i did indeed like that
*laughs in Michigander*
Why conkers on the necklace? We brits put them on shoe laces, then we hit them against one another, taking turns, until one of them falls apart. Weird game, don't know how or why it got started.
Did not expect a rick and morty reference in this episode
I always will love Florida ❤. Home state is crazy
