When he mentions major cities he skips over Tampa, when he mentions theme parks he skips Busch Gardens, and when he talks about hockey he skips the Lightning, I guess he just doesn't like Tampa lol
I'm glad you caught the Busch Gardens omission as well. I worked on the train ride there many decades ago. It was a different place then. Heck, all of Florida was a different place then.
Matthew McGovern IKR!!! How did he skip the Lightning?!!! Imagine if he skipped the Lightning because they got swept by the Blue Jackets in the 1st Round!!!😂
Yeah buddy, best thing about Tampa is the Lightning, the Rays (best in season 2019) and the Mike Calta show... and Drew Garaboa(I knew him from Orlando) traffic blows but its typical of any city. Best part about Florida is you can affect you local politician and/or representative for better. Most are locals themselves. Don't take that for granted, take advantage, it counts.
The whole alligator thing is such a reach. Most Floridians will not be bothering or searching for them. The weather, Publix obsession, Chick-fil-A, and throwing hurricanes parties is very accurate tho😂
Oh no. I was born in south Florida, lived there until I was almost 30 - I saw gators everywhere. It was as common for me in Florida as seeing deer in Georgia.
@@xomelxo1435 yes but they’re not running the streets like dogs and ducks. They’re only in or near bodies of water. That’s all i was trying to say. The video was a bit dramatic lol.
Yeah, Publix is GREAT, but everything costs DOUBLE compared to all other grocery stores! A 50 dollar bag of groceries at Winn Dixie costs 80 dollars at Publix.
@Michael L one of the exceptions of people born here, never have I heard the term Floridan. And my spelling earlier was a sad attempt at breaking it out phonetically...my bad. I believe ya, just never heard that, ever.
There's a hotel in tampa called the Floridan. But I've lived here my whole life and never heard anyone call someone that. And you mentioned the lightning in central Florida but forgot the Tampa Bay Lightning. Disgraceful
@@rockon8174 Georgia Mountains ⛰ are literally a 5 hour drive from Orlando,Florida… 3 hours from Jacksonville . (1 hour or so plane ride) Tennessee is also like an hour and a half plane ride or a nice road trip. Mountains aren’t that far from Florida lol
Ironically, most of the clips were of other states. I kept seeing California and even Washington D.C. at one point. The real sports obsession in Florida wasn't mentioned: NCAA football. Go Gators!

I grew up in Florida, moved here from Holland in 1972. It’s an amazing state but way to crowded now. The natives are some of the best people in the world.
It is literally less crowded than the Netherlands. It's nearly halt as crowded as the Netherlands. Whenever I visited Florida I never got the feeling it's overcrowded. Of course the big cities like Miami are. But have you visited Amsterdam? Comparing Miami to Amsterdam, Amsterdam is way worse.
I line west central Florida. Weather wise the summers are brutal. Mostly because of the sogginess. It’s always wet humid with a daily thunder storm but it’s well worth it when November rolls around. November through February are just unbelievable. 70s in the day with 50s 40s and even 30s at night. The cold crisp dry clear sky nights in Florida are just heaven. Nothing beats a 38 degree dry cool night in Florida.
@R Cruz not really. Snow birds dont suport education because their kids live in other states. People who dont live here all year vote about issues that affect native florida
@R Cruz i live in florida too and i know what im talking about. I grew up here also. I remember what happened in my county...and you are right about snow birds living in the most expensive areas because a tourist economy doesn't create a lot of high paying jobs. Many native Floridians live in poverty . People who make alot of money in other states and come to florida and live great while the average floridian is struggling. It is a reason why i dont like snow birds and people from other states. Right now in my city we have a 40 million dollar sports complex but are closing schools because its not in the budget. 40 million dollar ball park that has 80% minimum wage jobs. But the guy behind it was rich and a non floridian so he doesnt have a vested interest in the local people. Hes a snow bird too.
@@a.r.3922Cheer up, most of them have flown back north for now, lol. We have the homestead exemption so we do have a big advantage when it comes to owning property. Anyway I was away for a while but just moved back and started my youtube channel to lose the weight down here where I can wear shorts year round. All I can tell you is I have a renewed appreciation for life in Florida.
After 27 years as a full time resident of South FL I can state this as one of the most important facts. If you like 9-10 months of hot humid weather and low wage jobs, welcome.
I lived in Tampa for almost 5 years and the hurricane parties were so bizarre to me, like ppl were baking cookies and watching movies like nothing was happening outside and I was having a heart attack!! One of the main reasons why I left Florida, I hate hurricane season...
Hahaha!! This is hilarious 😆 (and so true) when we left to go to Georgia, a couple of years into living in our new state we got a cat 1 hurricane in north Atlanta - I couldn’t believe how everyone was freaking out. I told my neighbors as they were prepping for gale force winds that it’s only appropriate to hurricane prep at a cat 3. 🤣🤣
@@xomelxo1435 Hey I have experienced more hurricanes or tropical storms here in Atlanta then in the 20 years I lived in Tampa. I've been in ATL for over 30 years. The only biggie was Hurricane Elena in 1985 in Tampa.
Best lines “welcome to Florida, where you’ll never know what you’ll see while driving to work in the morning” “Many people are loaded and some are broke and nothing in between “ “And the cockroaches are no joke, Florida roaches flyyyyie” “ they don’t even care that they don’t have no jobs and no teeth” this is where flatlined😂
Last fifteen+ years in Florida. Hot, crowded, and culture wars out the wazoo. Only getting hotter, more crowded, and crazier. And be sure to check on your home insurance rates before you move.
The good: warm weather, diversity of people, low property taxes, the beaches The bad: The drivers! Worst on the planet, especially on I-4 and everything near Miami!
No0b 2 stop lying I was raised in Miami!!! I have been in millions of them one I can remember all the time is Andrew! I’m a Floridian living somewhere else and happy!! Mosquitoes and flying roaches yuck!!! 🤢🤮
No0b 2 One of my cousins from Oviedo told me that he haven’t seen anything bad in Florida. Oviedo is an inland city in Florida which means that Oviedo doesn’t get hit hard by hurricanes and flooding unlike Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami.
I lived here for 19 years now. It was a great place. Not so much anymore. Way too many people have flooded here because we were so great. Now it’s crowded, traffic and crime is picking up too 😞 Prices of houses has also shot up A LOT!!
I say yay no school and then I celebrate in my house wearing my fav clothes because I’m like NOTHING INTERESTING EVER HAPPENS TO ME! I’m horrible. My parents when they got divorced I was like oooo I saw that coming and I told everyone and they all comforted me! How niceeeee
I wish there was an hurricane in New Jersey but if there is I don’t want none of my families or friends to get hurt or killed. UwU. I live in a city that’s by the ocean so if there was a hurricane I guarantee u there will be no school for a month yay.
Moved to Florida in the 50's. I was 3 years old, and I loved it. However, by 2002 the state became too crowded for me, and I don't regret leaving. I don't even think of vacationing there at all.
Nick, I'm Addicted to your videos. I watch them Mostly on TV. They are So Insightful and have given a sense of our Amazing country. Thank you for having made these vids, and Thank you for yourself. I'm a fan and a student, and I Love your work. Thank you for being such a Great teacher. 🌿💚
I went to Michigan for the summer and god, I was searching high and low for a Publix cause I wanted to introduce it to my friends there, and the closest store was in Tennessee, I wanted to die
After living in Central Florida most of my life here's some pros & cons. PROS: You can literally drive to the beach on impulse whenever you want, if you're not feeling the beach there is plenty of springs and other state parks that are easily accessible even in Orlando are closes being a 20 minute drive away. It never get insanely cold. If you live in an urban area there's always something to do or see. It's very diverse and culture is everywhere. There are great schools in Florida from elementary up to college depending on what part of Florida you live in. Hospitals are top of the line in Orlando at least. Night life is amazing in the larger cities. Cons: it gets hot, ike Satan stealing your soul hot. Traffic can get really bad in some areas depending on the time of day and dri ving in some parts such as I4 is quite dangerous (I've already flipped my car once). It rains quite frequently especially in the summer/ fall. There's a lack of affordable housing in Orlando (in the suburbs of Orlando a nicer single bedroom apartments are normally $1000+ a month and okay two bedrooms are around $1200+ a month). Well paying jobs a few and far between if you don't have a higher education. There is a massive homelessness problem in Florida no matter where you go and our mental health system is not very good. Hurricanes happen regularly, but if you're in an area where it's not to bad aka not on the coast we just get drunk and party all day. In rural areas of Florida such as where I was I was originally born (lake county area) there isn't much to other than enjoy nature. In my life's experience I've come to love everything about Florida especially my city Orlando. Yes there are some crazy, racist, crappy people here, but also average people living there life.
Christopher Cofelice another con I see is when I watch these two TH-camrs who have a farm both of their property have flood problems and that another thing I hate I don’t care about humid and rain
As someone who was born in Ohio, grew up in Europe till I was 16, moved to the Panhandle and attended college + settled down in Southeast FL ... you should REALLY consider doing follow up videos for each of the six main regions in FL ... because we're a transplant State, we might as well be 6+ different States when you break it down ... (Southeast, Southwest, the Conch Republic aka Monroe/Keys, Northeast, Central and the Panhandle). Everything from politics, economies and demographics is different ... would be a fun mini-series to see!
Thanks Nick. You just made me feel better about my decision not to move to Florida. I have been feeling torn about it. By the way, I love your videos and your sarcastic sense of humor!!!
As a Floridian myself, yeah this is all pretty accurate. The only thing missed was definitely i-4. It is the worst interstate to drive on. Going 10 over the 70 mph speed limit is the standard and a quarter of the people driving go 20 or more over. Turn signals don't exist and people will just cut you off left and right.
It's unfortunate because listen, I'm from up North personally, but I never liked and still don't like speeding. I only go faster if I'm in the passing lane, but otherwise, I like taking my time and driving carefully. It pisses me off that people down here don't know how to drive. Impatient person up my rear, excessively slow person in front. I-4 is truly the highway of death. A lot of times, I seriously wish that all the Northerners could go back home and that those Yankee politicians could STOP RAISING THE DAMN TAXES ON EVERYTHING. It's coming to the point where once I have enough money I'm actually going to be moving out of this state to somewhere else where it's quiet and no one really bothers you. I live in Thonotosassa right near Temple Terrace, and trying to go onto Fowler Ave any day is like trying to walk through a forest of thorns. It's a pain in my rear. But, it's all about managing. Yet again, doesn't mean there ISN'T something we can do about any problems here.
Only Northerners//people with foot fungus wear socks and sandals in my part of Florida. Flip-Flops are standard issue here, if you don't have a V suntan on your foot, then you're not a Floridian.
They are cringe my dude, has no one ever told you? I don't have feet fungus, which is why I wear flip-flops not socks and sandals even in the winter. St. Augustine//Jax area all my life.
Haha. As a FL native I really loved this video! Its so true! And Floridians ARE more afraid of tourist, elderly, and uninsured immigrant drivers than we are hurricanes or bugs/predators. The roads be crazy! Especially I4! I love it!
We have TWO professional hockey teams. Florida Panthers (1996 Eastern Conference Champions, 2022 President's trophy winner) and Tampa Bay Lightening (3 time Stanley Cup Champions) AND TWO professional Soccer Teams Inter Miami CF and Orlando City SC (2022 US Open Cup Champions)
@V A no, it's most certainly a hellish place. It's far to hot outside to breathe, much Less to enjoy living. If you're not near the coasts its pretty much Mississippi, just pine trees and swamps and mosquitoes. All my life I've wanted to move away from Florida but it's not done smothering and roasting me I assume. It's awful and I can't escape it.
Nasty water depleted Everglades endless cutting down of trees over mining phosphate endless amount of sinkholes due to over humping Florida's natural water reservoir these are all things I think about modern Florida when I move down in the seventies it was absolutely gorgeous
subagon I wouldn’t count the Florida Panthers as a viable hockey team. Tampa Bay kicked ass this year, but got schooled in the first round of the playoffs.
As a " Florida Man ", lol. I'm a native, born and raised ( currently living in Tallahassee ) and I think it's safe to say that we all here appreciate the love and recognition ! However allow me to point out a few things : 1. We actually get some cold weather. Especially in North Florida. We literally got down to the high 40's just about 2 weeks ago and it was still in April. So yea, it's not the negative, the teens, and 20's that a lot of northern states might get but cold is cold. 2. We now have 2 hockey teams. 3. You forgot to mention that we have the best beaches in the continental US. 4. Not all of us " Florida Men " are crazy. We're just "different" and I know me saying that isn't helping the case any but it's true, lol. 5. Publix is the bomb ! Go buy a sub from there ( get the Boars Head products whether it's meats or cheese ) and you'll love Publix too ! Either way... I'm loving this series. Now I'm curious about some of the other states. Keep up the great content.
haha, ain't that the truth about the cold! He must of not got the news that in the winter northern Florida is brown. we might have a winter that last two/ three weeks, but it is enough the kill the grass, and you better bet ya we are wrapped in layers of clothes. the 40s to the 60s might seem nice to our northern state cousins, but we are only built for the heat. p.s -Don't even get me started when it got down into the teens a few years back! I thought i was going to die from exposure! it didn't help that it was sleeting heavily (i didn't even know that was a thing until it happened) and windy. You could hear the branches on the trees breaking like glass because the water and sap in them was frozen solid.
What's interesting to me is that northern Florida is completely different from South Florida. I would define the panhandle as more like Alabama. My job had me in the panhandle for two years but I'm from SoFl so I know first hand.
Stationed far away but this video made me a little home-sick for my home state. I’d swear time goes by just a little slower there! Florida born and raised! I’ll be back to you some day.
Moved 3 months ago from Ohio, work was the only reason I went to Florida.. It has its positives, defiantly has negatives. This video was actually relatively accurate from what I have seen
If you live in south east Florida or any other big city be prepared to have bad drives and a high cost for renting. I live in WPB and I pay $1235 for a 1/1
Daniel O'Neal I lived in the Villages off Palm Beach Lakes Blvd for a few yrs. My rent was $1200 a month and that was early 2000s! All the places I’ve lived in South east Florida, I liked WPB the best.
If I can ever save up money to move far away I would love to move to Florida. I've always wanted to move there since I was a teenager for some odd reason. Ironically I've actually never been to Florida.
Wow thats actually impressive...your provably the only native that can say that lol. You need to get out of that concrete jungle and explore the real Florida!!
1 professional hockey team? You forgot about the Tampa Bay Lightning! Also, Florida grass is brown because we don't usually get enough rain. We're in droughts a big chunk of the year so we have water restrictions. If you see green grass, it's probably painted, which yes, that's a thing: grass paint. Flying roaches are called Palmetto Bugs. We have probably the most sinkholes in the US. We don't pay state taxes: Tourists and snowbirds pay our taxes. You should probably mention the Florida Sunshine Law which is why "Florida Man" is seen all over the country. It's stuff that happens everywhere. We're just picked on because of that law. As you've mentioned: Most people are not born here. They've moved here. So it's not actually "Florida Man". It's "Transplant Man".
-Donks/Dunks=old school car like a box chevy with candy paint and 40inch matching rims. -Only state black girls wear gold teeth. -Mudding is a sport in highschool. -Your mom is also your sister. -Your father's your brother. -They fly Confederate flags on cars. -Tampa stripper capitol. -Florida has the highest aids. -Florida just started treating aids 2018 -No car emissions bcuz of hillbillies. -Capitol of child molesters(NO JOKE) -Disney hires several molesters a year. -Headquarters/Capitol of adult swingers & swingers membership only nightclubs. (Bikeweek,Nascar,etc.) -People smoke flaka
Overall, I can't give this a thumbs up, even though much of what he said was accurate. Showing farm and beach scenes that were probably filmed in California didn't help. Here's a clue, if you see mountains, even hills or beach side cliffs, then it's not Florida. Florida is perhaps the flattest state in the country, although Kansas would be a close second.
The Panhandle has some hills (up to 300 ft) and there is a ridge of hills in the Clermont area (up to 150 ft), but yeah, the rest of the state is pretty flat.
Having grown up in Florida, I can relate to everything he mentioned. One thing he left out is the constant change going on. Every time I've gone back, parks and nature preserves and open beaches are all built up. Where once I could see the beach from the coastal roads, gargantuan high-rises now block the view.
Hey nick, you should do a top 10 states most likely to survive a collapse of the us government. Maybe do a top 10 states with the best infrastructure? Top 10 with the worst. Top 10 states most vulnerable to a terrorist attack or foreign
It’s Flor I dians (short I). Also, during the rainy season (summer), it typically rains in the afternoon. Not much rain at all during the winter & spring. Good videos.
At first I thought this was an old video when he didn't mention the TB Lightning but I see it was done very recently. Also the Lightning have been pretty good lately, at least during regular season, so he shouldn't have missed mentioning them.
@@marsrangerr You are correct. When I moved away from the TB area, we only had the Buccaneers, and I only recently became a hockey fan so I have no inkling as to when the Lightning started.
I was born and raised in Tampa and the worst thing about Florida is the snowbirds I miss the days when you could drive a couple miles in less than an hour.
I was born here. It's been raining most of the day today. Yes, our biggest gripe is the tourist and old people clogging up the roads. I hate the heat and humidity. I have moved to 3 different states but always find myself back here.

I'm glad you caught the Busch Gardens omission as well. I worked on the train ride there many decades ago. It was a different place then. Heck, all of Florida was a different place then.

Crowded???, come to NYC or California..
Florida amazing ? Have you ever been in California or hear about it ?
It’s only crowded in certain areas. We have a lot of wilderness as well. Most of our population is along the coastal cities.
You have the modern Florida and real Florida.

The good: warm weather, diversity of people, low property taxes, the beaches
The bad: The drivers! Worst on the planet, especially on I-4 and everything near Miami!

I’m from St Pete and there was a time where we weren’t hit for 7 years, we had a little good luck streak.
No0b 2 One of my cousins from Oviedo told me that he haven’t seen anything bad in Florida. Oviedo is an inland city in Florida which means that Oviedo doesn’t get hit hard by hurricanes and flooding unlike Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami.
Honestly California has the best weather, landscape but the politics, taxes, unaffordable housing kills it
I lived here for 19 years now. It was a great place. Not so much anymore. Way too many people have flooded here because we were so great. Now it’s crowded, traffic and crime is picking up too 😞

I've never had anything other then heavy rain happen in a "hurricane" so I dunno if hurricanes are a myth or there not hitting us.
Moved to Florida in the 50's. I was 3 years old, and I loved it. However, by 2002 the state became too crowded for me, and I don't regret leaving. I don't even think of vacationing there at all.
Where did you move to?
Well, you should see it now.. It is as crowded as ever 😢
Nick, I'm Addicted to your videos. I watch them Mostly on TV. They are So Insightful and have given a sense of our Amazing country. Thank you for having made these vids, and Thank you for yourself. I'm a fan and a student, and I Love your work. Thank you for being such a Great teacher. 🌿💚
when he said that where obsessed with Publix, I was like sTOp EXpoSinG Me!!!!!!!!!
As a Floridian we must accept the TRUTH.....that PUBLIX is part of our DNA !
Not a FL native but I do love my Publix!!
I went to Michigan for the summer and god, I was searching high and low for a Publix cause I wanted to introduce it to my friends there, and the closest store was in Tennessee, I wanted to die
Someone send me a Ring Sub to Kentucky for me lol I grew up in the Keys now I’m stuck in Ky without Publix
Hi I'm from Europe and Idk publix, what is so cool about it ? Lol
We Floridians sure do love Publix, but the heat you have to endure to load your groceries into the car can make it not soo fun
This is why REAL Floridians always have a cooler in the back of their truck!
Charlie Odom Exactly!
That is what Publix bag boys are for !
Or do what I do and go to Publix 20 minutes before closing.
I will take hot weather most of the time over what freezing cold though.
As a man from Florida it is nice :)
I'm in Clearwater it doesn't rain as much as everyone says
After living in Central Florida most of my life here's some pros & cons.
PROS: You can literally drive to the beach on impulse whenever you want, if you're not feeling the beach there is plenty of springs and other state parks that are easily accessible even in Orlando are closes being a 20 minute drive away. It never get insanely cold. If you live in an urban area there's always something to do or see. It's very diverse and culture is everywhere. There are great schools in Florida from elementary up to college depending on what part of Florida you live in. Hospitals are top of the line in Orlando at least. Night life is amazing in the larger cities.
Cons: it gets hot, ike Satan stealing your soul hot. Traffic can get really bad in some areas depending on the time of day and dri ving in some parts such as I4 is quite dangerous (I've already flipped my car once). It rains quite frequently especially in the summer/ fall. There's a lack of affordable housing in Orlando (in the suburbs of Orlando a nicer single bedroom apartments are normally $1000+ a month and okay two bedrooms are around $1200+ a month). Well paying jobs a few and far between if you don't have a higher education. There is a massive homelessness problem in Florida no matter where you go and our mental health system is not very good. Hurricanes happen regularly, but if you're in an area where it's not to bad aka not on the coast we just get drunk and party all day. In rural areas of Florida such as where I was I was originally born (lake county area) there isn't much to other than enjoy nature.
In my life's experience I've come to love everything about Florida especially my city Orlando. Yes there are some crazy, racist, crappy people here, but also average people living there life.
Christopher Cofelice another con I see is when I watch these two TH-camrs who have a farm both of their property have flood problems and that another thing I hate I don’t care about humid and rain
Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks. I'm considering moving there since this is one of the only places you can own a red fox. I know it's a dumb reason don't look at me.
I live in Orlando to the affordable housing is getting worse! and the pay is still low, they trick people with the "no state income tax"

i was born in florida and most of my friends are from other states like mass and newyork.👌🏾
Love Florida so much I am from a beautiful part of the United Kingdom and I just love Florida. In fact I love America
As someone who was born in Ohio, grew up in Europe till I was 16, moved to the Panhandle and attended college + settled down in Southeast FL ... you should REALLY consider doing follow up videos for each of the six main regions in FL ... because we're a transplant State, we might as well be 6+ different States when you break it down ... (Southeast, Southwest, the Conch Republic aka Monroe/Keys, Northeast, Central and the Panhandle). Everything from politics, economies and demographics is different ... would be a fun mini-series to see!
How u moved pit at 16 and went to collage at 16?😂
The biggest threat in Florida is hurricanes. You can evacuate, which is good as long as you do it early, but your house and most of your stuff cannot.

Thanks Nick. You just made me feel better about my decision not to move to Florida. I have been feeling torn about it. By the way, I love your videos and your sarcastic sense of humor!!!
As a Floridian myself, yeah this is all pretty accurate. The only thing missed was definitely i-4. It is the worst interstate to drive on. Going 10 over the 70 mph speed limit is the standard and a quarter of the people driving go 20 or more over. Turn signals don't exist and people will just cut you off left and right.
It's unfortunate because listen, I'm from up North personally, but I never liked and still don't like speeding. I only go faster if I'm in the passing lane, but otherwise, I like taking my time and driving carefully. It pisses me off that people down here don't know how to drive. Impatient person up my rear, excessively slow person in front. I-4 is truly the highway of death. A lot of times, I seriously wish that all the Northerners could go back home and that those Yankee politicians could STOP RAISING THE DAMN TAXES ON EVERYTHING. It's coming to the point where once I have enough money I'm actually going to be moving out of this state to somewhere else where it's quiet and no one really bothers you. I live in Thonotosassa right near Temple Terrace, and trying to go onto Fowler Ave any day is like trying to walk through a forest of thorns. It's a pain in my rear.
But, it's all about managing. Yet again, doesn't mean there ISN'T something we can do about any problems here.
And New Yorkers love to use that excuse to drive fast
That’s everywhere
Even the cops go 20-30 over the speed limit! And they don't even pull people over for doing the same!!! 😳
@@reedgolden5248 not South Carolina!

you should sub then there's a lot you could catch up on?
We have TWO professional hockey teams. Florida Panthers (1996 Eastern Conference Champions, 2022 President's trophy winner) and Tampa Bay Lightening (3 time Stanley Cup Champions) AND TWO professional Soccer Teams Inter Miami CF and Orlando City SC (2022 US Open Cup Champions)

@V A no, it's most certainly a hellish place. It's far to hot outside to breathe, much Less to enjoy living.

Correction: Florida has 2 pro Hockey teams.
subagon I wouldn’t count the Florida Panthers as a viable hockey team. Tampa Bay kicked ass this year, but got schooled in the first round of the playoffs.
I hate it when people who don't live in Florida talk about Florida. Because half the time they just go to Wikipedia to get "research" .
You must hate Florida! And there's nothing wrong with being older. If you don't get there you are dead. Everyone deserves respect.
As a " Florida Man ", lol. I'm a native, born and raised ( currently living in Tallahassee ) and I think it's safe to say that we all here appreciate the love and recognition !
However allow me to point out a few things :
1. We actually get some cold weather. Especially in North Florida. We literally got down to the high 40's just about 2 weeks ago and it was still in April. So yea, it's not the negative, the teens, and 20's that a lot of northern states might get but cold is cold.
2. We now have 2 hockey teams.
3. You forgot to mention that we have the best beaches in the continental US.
4. Not all of us " Florida Men " are crazy. We're just "different" and I know me saying that isn't helping the case any but it's true, lol.
5. Publix is the bomb ! Go buy a sub from there ( get the Boars Head products whether it's meats or cheese ) and you'll love Publix too !
Either way... I'm loving this series. Now I'm curious about some of the other states. Keep up the great content.
haha, ain't that the truth about the cold! He must of not got the news that in the winter northern Florida is brown. we might have a winter that last two/ three weeks, but it is enough the kill the grass, and you better bet ya we are wrapped in layers of clothes. the 40s to the 60s might seem nice to our northern state cousins, but we are only built for the heat.
p.s -Don't even get me started when it got down into the teens a few years back! I thought i was going to die from exposure! it didn't help that it was sleeting heavily (i didn't even know that was a thing until it happened) and windy. You could hear the branches on the trees breaking like glass because the water and sap in them was frozen solid.
What's interesting to me is that northern Florida is completely different from South Florida. I would define the panhandle as more like Alabama. My job had me in the panhandle for two years but I'm from SoFl so I know first hand.
From Miami, Florida here most of my life and yes, I do get tired of the constant heat sometimes! Other than that, I have enjoyed my life here.
I love my state, born and raised here!
I have lived in Central Florida all my life and enjoyed this video very much.

Stationed far away but this video made me a little home-sick for my home state. I’d swear time goes by just a little slower there! Florida born and raised! I’ll be back to you some day.

Florida is not a southern state

@@mariowalker8426 ..True and most of southeastern Florida was settled & developed by northerners hence the Yankee culture.

Seems like everytime you take a ride down a road, especially i75, its like commiting a genocide of lovebugs
And Charlotte/Hardee/DeSoto/part of Lee and Hendry counties are FULL of those bugs, I have to clean my car weekly when it happens in May!
I killed a love bug once. Didn’t regret it.
If you live in south east Florida or any other big city be prepared to have bad drives and a high cost for renting. I live in WPB and I pay $1235 for a 1/1
That’s cheap !!! I just got a1495/m. Boyton is no better. Wpb is actually the lowest
Rent in Bay Area is much better. I was payin 1100 for a 2/2. Northern Virginia is still way worse tho
Daniel O'Neal I lived in the Villages off Palm Beach Lakes Blvd for a few yrs. My rent was $1200 a month and that was early 2000s! All the places I’ve lived in South east Florida, I liked WPB the best.

What are some things we missed about living in Florida? Let us know in the comments below!
1 professional hockey team? You forgot about the Tampa Bay Lightning! Also, Florida grass is brown because we don't usually get enough rain. We're in droughts a big chunk of the year so we have water restrictions. If you see green grass, it's probably painted, which yes, that's a thing: grass paint. Flying roaches are called Palmetto Bugs. We have probably the most sinkholes in the US. We don't pay state taxes: Tourists and snowbirds pay our taxes. You should probably mention the Florida Sunshine Law which is why "Florida Man" is seen all over the country. It's stuff that happens everywhere. We're just picked on because of that law. As you've mentioned: Most people are not born here. They've moved here. So it's not actually "Florida Man". It's "Transplant Man".
Jeremy Wiseman thank you for mentioning the hockey part
Iguanas in south Florida are invasive and everywhere
@@Skills50 They are everywhere... Also, Jeremy, you need to mention no state income tax.
-Donks/Dunks=old school car like a box chevy with candy paint and 40inch matching rims.
-Only state black girls wear gold teeth.
-Mudding is a sport in highschool.
-Your mom is also your sister.
-Your father's your brother.
-They fly Confederate flags on cars.
-Tampa stripper capitol.
-Florida has the highest aids.
-Florida just started treating aids 2018
-No car emissions bcuz of hillbillies.
-Capitol of child molesters(NO JOKE)
-Disney hires several molesters a year.
-Headquarters/Capitol of adult swingers & swingers membership only nightclubs. (Bikeweek,Nascar,etc.)
-People smoke flaka
Overall, I can't give this a thumbs up, even though much of what he said was accurate. Showing farm and beach scenes that were probably filmed in California didn't help. Here's a clue, if you see mountains, even hills or beach side cliffs, then it's not Florida. Florida is perhaps the flattest state in the country, although Kansas would be a close second.
The Panhandle has some hills (up to 300 ft) and there is a ridge of hills in the Clermont area (up to 150 ft), but yeah, the rest of the state is pretty flat.
Illinois is FLAT and boring as H€££
As someone who's lived in Florida my whole life, if you don't like hot, humid weather DO. NOT. MOVE. HERE.

Having grown up in Florida, I can relate to everything he mentioned. One thing he left out is the constant change going on. Every time I've gone back, parks and nature preserves and open beaches are all built up. Where once I could see the beach from the coastal roads, gargantuan high-rises now block the view.

It’s Flor I dians (short I). Also, during the rainy season (summer), it typically rains in the afternoon. Not much rain at all during the winter & spring. Good videos.
I was there 1989 and my cousin emigrated from the UK to Pensacola
Wrong there are 2 hockey teams the Tampa Bay Lightning
People here are hyped about the Lightening
At first I thought this was an old video when he didn't mention the TB Lightning but I see it was done very recently. Also the Lightning have been pretty good lately, at least during regular season, so he shouldn't have missed mentioning them.
JLR VA the Lightning have been around much longer than TH-cam has even existed
@@marsrangerr You are correct. When I moved away from the TB area, we only had the Buccaneers, and I only recently became a hockey fan so I have no inkling as to when the Lightning started.
It has been proven that when the Titanic and the lightning hit the ice they both sink
I was born and raised in Tampa and the worst thing about Florida is the snowbirds I miss the days when you could drive a couple miles in less than an hour.
And currently thousands of people migrating here. That’s daily 🤦🏻♀️ Raised in Miami and intend to keep it that way 🤓
I've lived in the panhandle of Florida my whole life and I don't plan on leaving. But if one day I do, I hope it's some place with mountains.
