Hi! I can't get this link to work. Is it just me? I'd really love to get your book.
Excellent Saturday morning story to close out 2023, JD! You're the best, friend, and Lord willing, I'll be sitting with you for every one of your stories in 2024!
Thanks so much Scott, Happy New Year Brother!
I'd love that story whether it was true or not. But if I were Lyin' Amos, I'd head for the hills if I ever saw Dragon coming! Anyway, y'know the Irish love storytelling as much as anyone. I always got the impression that what made a lie a good story instead of a sin was if it were told so over the top that nobody could take it seriously. Like a Paul Bunyan story. One time when I got back from a trip as a child, the teacher invited me to tell the rest of the class about it. I started to talk about how my cousins down south had to walk across the backs of hungry alligators with great snapping jaws to reach the school bus every morning. Teacher made me shut up and go sit down, which was a shame since I was very proud of myself for that story.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I spit my coffee out
@frostyfrances4700 Do you still tell stories?
@@justanotheralmaroad1923 - Only the clearly Bunyanesque kind. People today have been lied to so long on such a massive scale about serious matters, which they believe, so I don't want to risk misleading people. Good friends might get the slow roll-out version though, since they know me well enough to suspect when something's afoot. And they're not going to storm off in a snit b4 I can get to the punchline. I'm sorry to say that where I retired mostly for financial reasons in a politically incompatible region (let's NOT get too specific here) in the great rural Midwest, too many people are already full of (in my view) unreasonable doubt of my motives and the state of my immortal soul. I try not to throw too much fuel on that fire. Not good for anyone. Kindly forgive me if I've already crossed that line here.
And thank you for asking, btw. I am guilty of having told my son's little preschool friends that the chicken feather I stuck in a corner of a poster of the old Arabian Nights movie had fallen to the ground one night; I was outdoors enjoying the stars when I heard a rush of mighty wings and Pegasus himself flew over. And lost one of his feathers. Which I retrieved and stuck on the corner of that movie poster featuring his likeness in case he ever flew over again. ...... But you can't get away with that story if any listener is over the age of 4 or 5 for sure. When they're around 3 though it flies well.
That had me in stitches! Lord have mercy that was funny.
I love that. He got even in the best way. I'm till chuckling. Great story.
He who drags last drags the furthest!
These stories keep getting better. Some one asked me the other day if I could visit one place where would it be? I'm thinking the Appalachia's.
Thanks so much Spencer!
Hey JD. I would have been like Hiram so mad i could have bitten nails in half. Over the years i have seen jokes that hurt others. Folks really need to think it through before pulling a prank that could be harmful
I enjoyed it JD thank you. Hey i found you on TH-cam tv yesterday. Watching your story telling on big screen makes it so much realistic.
YES! I make these videos in 4k just for You Tube TV :)
this reminds me of a friend i had, he died about 10 years ago. he was definitely an artistic liar! he was a short man. one of his tales was, he worked in construction one time, they were doing work on a bridge over the marsh mud. another man who was shorter than him! slipped and fell in the mud and sank to his armpits! he said they swung a backhoe bucket with a rope tied on, they told shorty to tie it under his arms. they pulled Tention on the rope, the mud had such a suction on shorty that the diesel motor on the machine bogged down! and black smoke came out the exhaust pipe! then they could hear his body snapping and joints popping! and when the mud let go with a popping suction! shorty came loose! they swung him over and stood him up by my short friend, and shorty was a foot taller than him! he told this story in about 1975 to me and i still laugh!
😂 😆
That there made me laugh too! Good one.
lol good story.
A good Saturday morning laugh to close out the year. Thank you for another great story.
Thanks so much!
Good morning JD! You gave me a chuckle this morning, thanks for making my Saturday special.

Great Story as usual.
Greetings from the Rhine River at the wild Southwest of Germany.
I hope I can one time visit the Appalachian Mountains and hopefully there will be still some real Hillybillies over there.
they still here, you can bet that!
Thank you JT, I really enjoyed this whopper's whopper! As long as there are Appalachian Mountains, there will be hillbillies, Melungeons, half-breeds, rednecks and other 'terms of endearment' that have been used to refer to the mountain folk!
I have traveled to many places and I am very proud to be back in the Eastern Mountains Tennessee, from where my people came!
🇺🇸🙏🏼♥️
Better watch out for those wild Indians
😂😂😂Lyin’ Amos sure pulled a good one on Draggin’ Hiram🤣
That was a good one JD!
😂
An unexpected twist left me satisfied!
👍🏼
best one yet!
Thank you Loraine!
I greatly appreciate this new episode. Thank you
Thank you!
That’s one of your best buddy. I have listened so much I feel like you an old friend. Good luck friend.
I’m glad to have you here Scott!
Best story ever. More please!!
Thank you!
Love it. Thank you for posting.
Thank you
So good!
Thank you!
Well that sure was funny JD. Nothing like a little rubbing to inspire a whopper That last prank was epic especially as Amos left without giving Dragon any relief of his anger. I’ll bet he would have planned a fabulous prank if he’d just had the chance. Thanks
Enjoyed again JD
Thanks John!
Awesome tales 🇨🇦👍❣️
Thank you Marion!
Got to admit I was thrilled that lyin Amos got over on him. What a fun story. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Me too, I was pulling for Amos
Great story & pitchers brother! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏
😅my Dad would have loved that story! It was great.thanks for the chuckle!
❤️
Great story to end the year with JD.
It reminds me of my father who was such a story teller all of his life that when he died his story telling was the center of his eulogy. Happy New Year to all 🙏
❤️
Good morning and happy Saturday!
Morning Robbie
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller love it. Man went far for a great joke.
And that is an "artistic liar" @@robbie5984
He seems like he was the best of those.
Happy New Year Brother! I hope only the best for you and your family this upcoming year. God bless. 🙌
Our family enjoyed this great story. Thank you for all that you do. ❤️
Thank you Melody!
Well I laughed out loud. Thanks JD

Thank you!
WhooWeee! Gotta be able to dish out AND take it. Happy New Year JD
Yes indeed!
That was incredible! Great story.. I'm going to have to get a thesaurus if your ability to word Smith progresses much farther. 😂😂. Did I hear Fireball Mail, and Arkansas Traveler? Maybe?? I'm hoping for 50% right. Lol.
Thanks Rusty! The music from this video was "John Henry", "peach cobbler" and "Melody of the Night"
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I'll have to re-watch it.. I was way off.. I felt sure fireball mail was right.. of course there's the possibility that I've been playing it wrong. 🤣🤣
Oh JD!! That was the best & funniest story I’ve ever heard!! Sometimes you just shouldn’t keep poking at a big sleeping lion! Haha. Oh my word…..that just makes my day! Thanks so much! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
Thank you Betty! Lyin' Amos got 'em good!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Hahaha!! Yes he did! ❤️✝️

My fiolks are Parsons on my Granny side and I was thinking the same thing 😅
Well hello there it's Ray again from the land down under Australia yes that was a very good story that being a ex logger myself and being in the timber industry swing Ajax at the age of eight beside my father and as I went through we had a lot of Blacks like that beanie done that where's the call Mr 80 when they realise was only 30 play master Heller past life if you know what I mean they used to get me to do the setting up because I was good at it I can say something and they go oh yeah done that so I just love that story brought back memories so thank you very much I'm Lovin It thank you Ray❤❤😂 that's about how hard I used to laugh
Thanks for sharing that story Ray
Draggin Hiram was certainly outdone by the best! Hahahaha!
Yes sir!
I got a new campfire story to tell. Thanks. I live in a place where they logged extensively. According to local folklore, we coined the terms "hillbilly, ridge runner and stump jumper." For ourselves. When a man couldn't get enough lumberjacks locally, he brought a bunch of guys from Kentucky here to work. When the job was finished, they took the terms back home. Those are all titles of honor here. If you didn't work the woods, you starved.
Those are still words of honor in my neck of the woods.
I knew a stump jumper from Kentucky. His grandmother was born in a foddershock, he said.
@@S.L.O.P. Okay, I'll bite. What's a foddershock?
Good morning brother
👋
What goes around comes around 😂, neat story! Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
That was Great 😊
Thank you!
IM HERE!😊❤
Hope you enjoy!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I have not been disappointed yet JD..😊🥰
Omg look at the size of the logs!!
They used to grow huge- before men started harvesting them
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I’ve heard of the terrible Chestnut tree blight back East. Too bad those forests aren’t still around. Sigh
Ol Amos sho nuff got ol Hiram...guess you gotta be careful who you are a messin with. We were listening to the story and ol lying Amos got us! We were holding our breaths waiting for them to get to the wreck! Boy..you should have heard the laughter from us when you told the rest of the story!
That's awesome, thanks Ronnie!
Cutting the Yancy side of Grandfather caught my family ear
:)
This was a good.n it reminds me of myself I been known to pull a joke or 10
😂
🤠😂🤣😎
Hope you have a great New Year my friend.🇺🇸
You too Michael
"How does your compostry peir to stantiate ". My grandpa used to say that. I haven't heard anyone else ever say that
Im glad this story took you back to a precious memory
That was a good yarn there lol
Thanks Terry!
Good one
Thanks 😊
Ewwww-wee! This was a good one!! 😂
Thank you so much. I love this story.
Good job, Amos😂😂
He got him good!
Old saying, "It's a lot bigger sin to tell a boring story than to tell an exaggerated story."
yup!
❤
❤️
Happy New Year God bles
Happy new year!
You should do a video of the ghost of Drummond Bridge

Thank you ❤️
Pretty neat story!😂
Thanks Edward!
Tall tales are rightly so!
❤️
Oh, this is a good one! HAHA!!
Thank you!
Nice one!😮😂
Thank you! Wishing you a happy new year!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller And to you my friend..❤️
That was fun. But ohhh so wrong. 😅
He who drags last… drags the furthest
Just like my military days. Who could tell the biggest lie only we called them war stories.
❤️
Good one😂
Thank you ❤️
That lie was a real waste of company time and the men's labor. Amos was leaving (and he finally got revenge). Some people just have to have the last word.
Amos looks like Adam Calhoun
that's a coincidence for sure!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Hahaha maybe? Thanks for another great story Bud!
well he did ask amos to tell them the biggest lie he ever told lol lol
Yup 😂
So Dragon was a bully.
Draggin' Hiram was like most bullies, he could dish it but not take it
Ukraine still smells like a laundry mat to me. 😮
🐸✝️
👍🏼
😂😂😂
😂
@TheAppalachianStoryteller Amos is the man 👌 your story's are brilliant. I've just discovered them and look forward to listening to many more here in Scotland 🏴😁
🤣
😂
A y’all liar! 😂
his lyin' was art!
I like your content but you're accent sounds fake that from seventh generation Appalachian
I never know how to respond to comments like this. I mean, its the same accent ive had for 50 years here in Anderson County Tennessee. Can't please everybody all the time, mama used to say.
