I would love to see a collaboration between The Holderness Family and It's a Southern Thing.
Yesssssssss...two of my favorite channels.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
AGREED!
I would love to see that
I watch them too
In Dallas yesterday changed swampy underpants 3x. And all I did was get the mail, pick up dog poo in back yard and walked from car to restaurant. This is usually the season we turn into vampires 🧛♂️, where you're nocturnal.
Seriously CiCi First...the "South" - as defined by the US Government - does not include anything west of Texas.
Given this definition, in terms of average daytime high temperature, the town of Trail, Canada endured a hotter July 2021 than every major city/metropolitan area in the US NORTH AND SOUTH!
The hottest major city in the North was Philadelphia, with an average daytime high temperature of 87 degrees that month.
Dallas, Texas was the hottest in the South with an average daytime high temperature of 94 degrees.
Trail, Canada was hotter than all of them, with an average daytime high temperature of 96 degrees that month.
Just bear-in-mind that Trail, Canada is not a major city...but still!
Anyway...does this fact surprise you?
Data Sources: NOAA (US Government); Environment Canada (Canadian Government)
I read it doesn't even cool down at night
True story: yesterday I opened my kitchen door to take a quick trip to the store and it was so hot, humid and bright that I got mad! That's "Florida hot".
Lol, yes! Especially driving West while the sun sets in the heat of the day... convinced that is why people are so angry. 😂 We have moved to Texas since then, so now it's like we live in an oven instead of a steaming pot ☺️
Florida hot is also “don’t walk outside barefoot during the day or you will have burns on the bottom of your feet”
@@ellestorme893 I ran barefoot over the asphalt as a kid (silly me)...I wear shoes now and know better, lol. The sand though....nope! As hard as it is to walk in it with shoes, that's where you can't just run across and find relief in a few seconds lol. (I'm sure you know that... Just reminiscing!).
It hasn't happened this year yet but last summer I opened the door to let the dog out to potty and it was so hot the smoke detector went off.
Yep, you just got to lean into the sweat. Don't fight it.
Haha! She went straight for the Faygo. 🤣
Its almost 94 and supposed go up to almost 100 in N. J. and i saw this! Another BRILLIANT VIDEO! POOR KIM! LOL
Lmao, Arizonan here, we also treat silly midwesterners like this. They insist on going for hikes in july then get rescued off the mountain when they almost die. Or do die, that happens about 3 or 5 times every summer
Do u want a water? Yeah, no (pops open a Fargo) 🤣
Kim, you forgot your post... and your phone (or you have a really good hiding place)! We have been having a major heatwave here in Finland this summer and I swear my eyelids were also sweating. Love this sketch
It's true about a mayo and tomato sandwich. Always a great thing to eat in the summer.
In Australia theres a saying 'only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun.'
Being from nc...born n raised...everything she said is so true!!!! Every summer I always wonder ... how did the antebellum era survive?!? With all those layers...ppl had to stink!!! Lol
When she says "Yeah, no" and "No, yeah" and I don't question what she's saying. #midwest
I'm a Texan living in Oklahoma, for the past 7 years, and I don't question "Yeah, no" and "No, yeah" anymore either, lol! And I've picked up saying "Ope". But my born and raised Oklahoman husband and I still fight over whether it's shopping cart or buggy that you use at the grocery store. I say buggy, he says cart.
Is that “known” as a MidWest-only thing? I’ve lived in CA my whole life and my fam is only (recently) from CA, formerly AZ & my sisters and I always say that! 😂
We also say "no yeah" and "yeah no" in Florida
Canadian and same
It's also something Aussies tend to say except ours sounds like "Yeah, naaah" or "Naah, Yeah" 😅
I'm Canadian so I understood the "No, yeah" fluently. "Yeah, no, for sure" is a thing too. 😂
My parents lived in Duluth Minnesota for 3 decades. Interesting dialect.
It went down to California too. Very Bay Area 😂
This actually surprisingly translates to Australia, except its "yeah, nah".
South Carolina here , reckon I just don't understand/ translate Yankee speek . LOL
In Australia we have "yeah, no" too.
As a Midwesterner living in South Carolina, I can relate to this. My southern wife doesn't understand how much I suffer. She's always asking me to wear some long sleeved shirts and asking me not to wear shorts. When we go to Michigan in November I'm gonna ask her to wear shorts and not wear a coat. See how she likes it.
Also, the Faygo was a great touch! I miss Faygo
The saint Louis area has faygo
Hello from Lansing!
I'm also a Midwesterner living in South Carolina and my South Carolina husband has NO IDEA! I got payback though. We went home to see my family one Christmas with a -30 wind chill. My husband started panicking when his snot froze in his nose 🤣🤣
@@AnUninfluentialLife Had snot freeze last week with the -30 to -40 yummy weather.
I live in Michigan. The can of Faygo was a really nice touch.
In Missouri we have too-hot-to-go-out in the summer AND too-cold-to-to-out in the winter. Good times. Good times.
So true!
Iowa too.
Haha. That's funny!!
It's the same for Illinois.
Same as MN
"My eyelids are sweating" - I feel this, although I live in Germany.
Your weather has been crazy lately! Stay safe if you're anywhere near the flooding
Finally the tables have turned for Kim
Thinking the same thing!!
That's what I was thinking 🤣
Oh the Payback is sweet
mean the tabled has turns?
“Yeah, no” “Is that a yes, or….” 😂😂😂 I never realized how confusing that could be! I could understand perfectly.
And then the Faygo :) Should have gone for the Rock n’ Rye!
The last word is what they mean. Same thing in Canada. Ya no for sure means yes. Ya no means no… or “you know”… context matters
@@AngelVids7 "Yeah, no" means no and "no, yeah" means yeah.
Is the accent North Dakota?? Im from the midwest, but, we dont sound like that. Nebraska...if you have never been to NE, dont even bother 😂😂😂
Aussies do a "yeah, nah", "nah, yeah" thing. It's the 2nd one that counts (usually)
I love it! I live in the south with high 90s and 80% humidity, where no one blinks a sweaty eyelid at 100 degrees, but a few weeks ago we were up in Colorado. At a 5K, the announcer told everyone “Okay guys, it’s getting hot. We just hit 75, so make sure your hydrating!”
Depends where you are. My part of colorado also doesn't blink at 100. We are lucky to not have the humidity though
I envy the states that are either hot or cold, I am in Iowa where it might be 90-100 in July and August and 80% humidity for a few weeks, but then turn around to January and it might be -30 with a -50 wind-chill. Then come spring it's storms and rain a lot, worst of all the worlds...but you can't beat our 1 month of so of good solid fall weather.
What I noticed about Colorado was the lack of humidity. We went to the zoo in Colorado Springs and they had on misting stations because is was 78 degrees with like 25% humidity in August. I couldn't believe it.
@@JasonGroom As your Nebraska neighbor, I approve this message!😂
@@amytarvin2776 yep, lived there too as a kid, only benefit Nebraska has is better breeze, I am in far east Iowa about a block from the Mississippi River, so the river bluffs take away all our breeze, so in the summer it is hot, humid, and no breeze, but in the winter the northern breeze blows right down the river and freezes us out.
As a Floridian I can say yep all true 👍
When Kim said "Disney in August" I choked on my soda! 🤣🤣
WORST time to go to Disney, lol.
As someone in South Georgia, I felt that. It's unbearable here so I know Orlando feels like a sauna.
@@ms.melissa1384 being from Iowa, one time I stepped off the plane in ORD in November one year........it was 80 degrees and very humid. At home it was typical windy and 30-40 degrees, maybe a few snowflakes, lol. I'm not a summer person- I generally stay indoors during the day and do all my outdoor stuff early and late- I hate hot humid weather like the plague, haha.
So true! 😊😅 That’s why it’s so cheap to go to Disney in August! 🥵 ☀️
My brothers girlfriend loves going to Disney my brother went for the first time and said it was hot 🥵
Your description of our central Florida weather was dead on. We don't know why people come here in the summer. We go to North Carolina to escape the heat.
Yeah - the only thing worse than the heat, humidity and sudden torrential rain in the summer is how hot you feel AFTER the downpour when the humidity is even worse 🤣
As someone who lives in central FL I was thinking the *same* thing lol. They just don’t know......
Its the same here where I live in NC. Most days there is a thunderstorm between 4-5pm. Then humid all night.
"We go to NC to escape the heat" is just the kind of insane sentence a Floridian would say.
@@MaxOVADrive - I feel you. I'm pretty sure the stork was supposed to take me to New Hampshire, but somehow I wound up in NC...
I went to Disney World in December once, absolutely perfect. Temperature was in the 60-70 the entire trip. I was in tshirt and shorts, I did see a lot of people in full winter gear too. I also went in August, never again.
We went a few years back in November, it was fantastic weather for swimming and relaxing.
I’m a firm believer in the Winter visits as well. For us it was always Mardi Gras week, since kids here have that week off, Feb or March.
Went in January and it was pure bliss. Also somehow timed it so that we missed the big snowstorm at home.
SSSHHUUUSSSHH!!! Don't tell them that!! Dang! Bless your little lovely heart, that's when the Locals go!
Only the tourists go in August, unless we just had a hurricane
“Yea no” as she pops a Faygo. Welcome to Michigan 😂
100% Pure Michigan ❤️
and ohio lmao
We have Faygo here in Chicago too...
I love your neighbor! I moved from Kansas to Texas during August. After about two weeks of 100+ temps, the weather guy said the temps were cooling off. I immediately jumped up, turned my A/C off, and started to open a window. I quickly realized the error of this decision. Bless my heart!
Best line is "Swamp in your underpants" I laughed a good 30 seconds with tears
Swamp butt is the worst lol
..."Butt" true. I'll see myself out now 😆.
There is even a product they sell here in South GA called Anti-Monkey butt powder to get rid of swamp ass….. no joke look it up
Remember when cars had, "crotch blowers" for the driver? Yeah, I'm that old.
Yep. The ole swamp crotch. Then there's the burning thigh chafe. Oh, and don't forget the boob sweat. Hell, your scalp gets so sweaty, you look like you just took a shower (from a distance, of course, cause the smell up close will tell ya otherwise).
As growing up a Floridian and now in Wisconsin, this is all true!
Same, grew up in Arizona now I live in Wisconsin, it is soo true 👍
I am a Wisconsinite and when we go to Florida in the winter we think 60s is like beautiful for shorts and the news is saying to wear layers 🤣
I'm also a Wisconsinite. When I was in high school, I went on a class trip to Florida over Easter break. We spent one day at Cocoa Beach. It was 60s and mostly cloudy. I ended up with the worst sunburn I've ever had!
I’m from Michigan and long ago went to FL on my honeymoon in December. It was about 65 and we were loving it! But when people in the shops heard we were here for our honeymoon, they apologized for the “bad weather” haha!
Grew up in Kansas City. Now live in Wisconsin. I know KC isn’t south and not as hot, but there were a few weeks late July, early August where I did not leave the house during certain hours. I used to laugh at Wisconsinites complaining about 80 degree weather, but now I’m acclimated and I complain about 80 degree weather.
"I'm sweating like a sinner in church" Hilarious!!! I haven't even finished watching the video but I just can't help myself!!! We are off to a brilliant start!
They cleaned it up - the phrase is actually sweating like a whore in church. 😆
@@bpace2509 I have just learnt something new! 😂
I made a mental note on that one!
my LA city aunt says sweating like a whore in a church
@@JS-rv3et 😂
People used to laugh at us as they drove by with me pulling on our golden girl's leash and my husband pushing her butt trying to get her to take a short walk in the supposedly "cooler" evenings.
Lemme just say, when i saw your comment and read 'golden girl' I really had a hard time understanding what that had to do with Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia.
@@Khaleesi_Jack LMBO
@@Khaleesi_Jack Same here!!!!!!!
Yep. Our border collie just gives up and lays down in the road. We unhook the leash and he follows when he's ready.
@@Khaleesi_Jack lol
I love how she described the Florida afternoon monsoons 😂😂😂 so accurate!!!
"Where is the rest of your sandwich" -- yep that was my childhood
I said that to one of my friends when she brought that for lunch. LOL! I grew up and sent my son to pre-chool with hummus, veggies, and fruit and he got the same question. Ha!
OMG! I am laughing so hard. Loved this! I live in Louisiana and that is our summer weather. And the “ Bless your Heart” was perfect. Thanks you so much. Listened to the podcast and now I realize how hard everyone works to put out these videos. You all are so talented.
I live in Michigan I cant handle the heat but the cold I can easily take I would not survive in the south
I'm from Chicago. I was in Tulsa OK to visit my daughter, Liz, about a year ago. A couple of days it was over 100*. I was much less uncomfortable than when it's 95* with 90% humidity in Chicago.
I was born and raised in NC. I haven't been back for years (can't handle the humidity).
To all non-Tarheels out there, every word of this video is true. It all just came back to me like it was yesterday. 🐍☀️🔥☀️🐍
I need a tomato and mayo sandwich. I just happen to have some boiled peanuts, too. Really! 😄
You can take the girl out of the South, but you can't take the South out of the girl. 🙂
I have been in NC my entire life and things have not changed.
Spent a couple years in the a Raleigh area... Coming from Illinois, the weather wasn't really hotter than I was used it, just more consistently muggy. Winter was nicer, though.
Also... Never saw a copperhead except in a zoo.
Lived here in NC since 1973. The family is native NC. This is great. Hasn't changed a bit
Boiled peanuts kick ass. When I moved up north they were impossible to find aside from the occasional ancient can in the back of the supermarket. Also I never realized tomato and mayo sandwiches weren't an everywhere thing. I guess I just never thought about it.
I live in NY
We have all four seasons in one week
I'm in Franklin, TN and I had the same conversation with my new neighbor from California. I even mentioned that she needs hair sunscreen on her new hair color or wear a hat. Your hair will seriously get lighter. She though I was nuts. Bless her heart 😆
boiled nuts??
HAIR sunscreen??? Bless your heart! Up in Canada we see sun-bleached hair as a happy part of summer... it's a free new look + it shows you've been able to get out and play. You guys are just so weird down there.
@@tastycarAt least we know when to say sorry.
You might want to look at a map that shows you anything beyond the borders of the old U.S. of Yeehaw; Canada is pretty big and we don't all live in the same square kilometer and speak the same dialect. You're thinking of Newfies and they make up about 4% of the population of our entire country.
@@tastycar If the shoe fits...
@@tastycar I see you have zero reading comprehension. Quelle Suprise.
I'm in the Midwest from GA now. Its so cute how these folks talk about "all the humidity we're having." 😂😂😂 I'm like, "Uhm...WHAT humidity??" We have air you can wear and air you have to eat with a knife and fork in GA in Summer. You take a shower, step out, and dry off...but before you finish your legs, your back is wet again.😂
While I understand your statement, in the Chicago area it's not uncommon to have humidity 90%+ during the summer. Condensation will appear on your vehicle windows once you flip on the air.
@@curtisfranzen986 the ultra high humidity of which I spoke was in Atlanta. Here they TALK ABOUT high humidity, but they have NO idea. In Florida, it was worse.
@@dgeneeknapp3168 I appreciate you. I would like to point out though that we get a great of humidity too. We regularly get Gulf Stream weather, plus we are right next to the largest bodies of fresh water on the planet. Also, the wind will be low today, only steady of 15mph with gusts to 25+.
@@curtisfranzen986 that wind you see... Atlanta gets zero movement of air. It's 95 plus with that humidity and zero air movement. Add to the fact that the 90 degree heat and elevated humidity starts in mid to late April and goes into late Sept. Imagine sitting in a sauna for 6 months. The nights don't even improve. When the back yard pool (full sized gunite) is actually very warm you know it has been around 100 degrees for about 7 plus days with zero cooling at night. I know Chicago gets hot and I've been to the great lakes during a heat wave. It wasn't pleasant. No one and nearly nothing was air conditioned. THAT was awful. The restaurants were unpleasant as hell to eat in and shops were like ovens. They do call Atlanta "Hotlanta" for a reason though. It's the ridiculous length of the summer, the complete lack of anything resembling a breeze, the length of the especially hot temps, and the thick juicy nights. The Atlantic one side and the gulf on the other side of the south of Georgia and the extreme southern latitude and lack of breeze make it a summer that seemingly never ends. Please know that my diatribe is all in fun. I know everyone prides themselves on the various miseries of their location. I'm in the plains and now take pride in the -20 cold I've endured. I know there are a infinitely colder places either by actual temperatures or greater lengths of the blasts. It's all in good fun.
I've got one you may appreciate. My son Josef (USMC) went to San Diego for basic. They get humidity warnings at 25%. That very same day, in Chicago the temperature was 89* with 92% humidity. As you have mentioned, Atlanta's numbers are similar. 2 other young men in Josef's group were from ATL. They all looked at each other like WTF?
It actually hasn't been much better in the Midwest this year. The whole rain every afternoon and swamp in your underpants thing :P
"Where's the rest of your sandwich?" Lol :D I love these!
I think global warming has affected us in the Midwest...especially Chicago...our weather for the past couple years mimicks the South...we've had warmer weather than usual. Almost like ATL or Charlotte...super weird... like it's November 2 2022 and it's 70 degrees right now! It should be like 40 for early November.
I love the neighbor cracking open a Faygo pop. Representing my culture.
For the water break, lol
The Midwest neighbor strikes again! I freaking love her!!! She's hilarious 🤣 (and Steeeve!)
I’m from Minnesota, born and raised. My husband’s name is Steve. Accurate on every detail’
I just love this friend of yours. That character is so damned likeable.
I love seeing Kim as the "calm" one
Poor neighbor, she was so happy before she talked to you:D
😂😂😂
Love your neighbor!! I live in Wisconsin, and I so relate to her. She needs her own channel!! I’ll watch it!! 😉👍
Born and raised Floridian here, and I can tell you at 3 o'clock is exactly when it rains everyday during our summer cycle. About 20 minutes long and you think you're in a monsoon until it's abruptly ends and then you're left with the Super sauna effect.
And don't think about going on a nice hike or to the park unless you're anemic and need the heat.
Really love the bless your heart! That was the finishing touch. I really like the new videos
That actually happens in Chicago too. Though not on a daily basis, and not at the same time. The adage in Chicago, "If you don't like our weather, wait 15 minutes" is not a lie.
Tomatoes..homegrown on toast sandwich...yum ..or if fancy. A sprinkle of bacon bits.
With a sprinkle of salt and pepper fresh out of the garden the best yummy 😋
@@angelasieg5099 we have a great farmers market and get yellow tomatoes from Amish farmers. Sooo Good
Literally our lunch for tomorrow!
Sounds so good
Y'all making me hungry.
Haha! So true about rain at Disney every day at 3pm! Bless your heart!💜
I can’t believe she spilled Florida’s best kept secret lol.
The neighbor has done it again, had me laughing and spitting out my drink. She's sooo funny.
Where is she FROM? That accent!
@@sandramort37 Based on props (a Detroit Tigers shirt in the winter video, a Faygo in this summer video) and vocabulary, I'd say Michigan. I'd put the accent at "exaggerated Yooper or maybe Minnesota," since I live in southern Michigan and my ear isn't really tuned to either one.
@@kynn23 For the accent, definitely not Minnesota - at all. Her regular voice (non-Canadian accent - listen to the bloopers, you'll hear a different one) is Minnesota, more or less. Someone (whom I'm guessing is Canadian) said on the winter video that it sounded like a mix between Newfie and Cape Bretoner (the exaggerated Canadian accent, that is). As someone who grew up in Minnesota, I can tell you for an absolute fact that a true Minnesota accent sounds like a clipped German x British, nothing like the exaggerated Canadian one she uses in this video and the winter one (I've only seen those two, so if I'm neglecting to mention other ones in which she appears, apologies).
@@SnowySpiritRuby I live in Minnesota and your absolutely right that is not a Minnesotan accent
We also had a nasty blizzard a couple years ago in October😂
Is she really your neighbor?! She’s hysterical!
She’s actually their daughter.
@@unknownperson3691 Yeah, no
@@InexplicablyPurpleRose Their producer is their niece, and she’s younger than Mary Ann, by a lot. She’s a neighbour and co-worker. It’s in their Behind the Scenes video.
True SWest v. South story: We had a week-long family reunion in Indiana in July; and it was about the usual for mugginess. 🥵[this means night time temps around 80/humidity 70%]
The first morning, the fam from SoCal rolled in for breakfast, wondering aloud how we coped with “this terrible humidity.” Shortly after, my sister-in-law from MS walked in and announced that if it got any colder at night, she was gonna need *another* quilt.
St. Louis is a contender for humidity awards. "It is because we live in the river basin" . Just accept the fact. And yes my familia roots are still there .
Whoever plays the midwestern lady is freakin brilliant!!!!!
I think is their producer
She’s also their neighbour and co-worker. Check out their podcast (on Spotify, etc.) “Behind-The-Scenes with Our Team”. 👍👍
She’s awesome. As awesome as the holdernesses are on their own, she’s been a great addition.
@@Musicandfilms7 x
Yes she would be amazing on SNL.
Like a swamp in your underpants - accurate!!
Many people in Florida here, call that 'swamp ass.' lol
Yep, I live in Central Florida, grew up in Miami. I can attest to the accuracy. 😆
The exact reason I moved to and am staying in the high altitude desert southwest. No humidity. Get this, I don't need a/c. I know. Awesome. No roaches. Barely notice if there are mosquitos.
I went on vacation to Taos NM two years ago in the summer and it was glorious! No humidity, cooler temps. I loved it! I'd move there in a heartbeat! (I'm from Pennsylvania and it's muggy as hell here.)
I would love to.
It would be so funny if Charlie Behrens made a guest appearance when Kim and her neighbor have one of their chats...
Charlie did show up in the episode “Midwest First-Timer”.
Add Matt Mitchell 'n' then y'all'll really have sump'in! 😉
Charlie Behrens and Matt Mitchell with this combo.
I’m a northerner living in the south and went on a walk on a wooded path and ran into my first copperhead, a baby one. Needless to say I never ran so fast in all my life! Also, I have never sweated so much either! Even going through menopause, I still never sweated like I do now! Eyelids and everything!
This is me.
I was born in a blizzard in Michigan and love winter more than summer.
I can easily sit in the snow without a coat on and feel refreshed.
Often I go barefoot.
I like the sun but like it best in the middle of winter.
I derive my energy from the cold.
Hot miserable weather makes me want to sleep and nap 24/7.
If it could be cold all year round, I would be happy.
Amen to that I'm from illinois but currently live in Florida and when temperature's are 45 in winter here I'm like 😇
Iceland dakotas
No kidding, this was me (the girl from Wisconsin) when I moved to Kansas. And prior to that, basic training in South Carolina and advanced training in Georgia. Fire ants? Brown recluse? Humidity? And what the heck were "summer training hours" (honestly, we started the workday at 5am and ended at noon). Bless my heart.
Basic in Anniston Alabama and Air. Ft Sam, San Antonio Texas the first time and Basic Ft Jackson SC and Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville AL 2nd time! Thank goodness for permanent party Alaska 1st time and Germany 2nd time! Love cold weather:)
@@pinkrose5796 Ft Drum NY and Camp Carroll South Korea!
My son Josef (USMC) went to San Diego for basic. One day he called Momma to say that they had a "humidity warning" it was 27%.
Come to Missouri! You can have blizzards, toasty temps with 100% humidity & all the snakes, just in one day.
I think you forgot the spiders too. I HATE SPIDERS!!
As someone who has lived in both places, this is quite accurate.
I could never survive a day in the south. I need to come there like December. There has been almost 1 month heat wave in Finland, and I am done. For the next decade.
Ya wanna come for our December tornadoes? Yup. Tornadoes. I kid you not. 🥴😁
OMG!!! Steve is my favorite!!! He's kinda like Wilson from "Tool Time"!!!
I never thought of this but it's perfect! Or Howard's mom from The Big Bang Theory.
"Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun."
EDIT: She was talking about snakes already, then a lake, and brought up brain amoebas instead of water moccasins? missed opportunity.
i had the exact same thought: oh the lake? watch out for water moccasins! they're aggressive but i do like to watch the way they "slither" thru the water
When my northern family and friends tease my about “cold” in Orlando I reply with let’s do Disney in August and see whose still standing at the end of the day lol. I work from home outside on my patio (guess who never planned to work from home full time thank God I have a laptop). Also cuts down on the afternoon phone calls when they can’t hear anything but the daily deluge.
We did Disney in September, and I thought I was going to die every time we walked out of the hotel (grew up in Wisconsin). But then again, at Thanksgiving I was wearing shorts and my Florida relatives were wearing sweaters...
@@madmommy 😃
I'm a 5th Gen Native Floridian and my husband is from Maine(a transplant)and if you ever and there are certain things you just do not do in the "summer"....then again it can be 89°F on Christmas day so...more like things you just don't do if the combined feels like, UV index, and actual temperature is over 100°F by 11am.
Disney during December is perfect weather wise. Busch Gardens year round is fine. Water Parks are OK providing you respect the heat and hide somewhere from no later then 12pm-4pm. My family has a timeshare at the beach in July so you just wake up early have fun and avoid the heat of the day then continue having fun till whenever.
If I had a dollar for every case of sun poisoning, sun stroke, heat exhaustion, and sun burns requiring a trip to the E.R., and person who didn't realize you can get sunburnt from the glare of the sun off the water I'd never have to worry about inflation again.
Pretty sure the reason Florida is the chaotic center of the U.S.(and the world)has mostly.to do with the weather and how people's body and brains adapted to survive.
I mean it gets pretty hot and humid up north too in the summer. At least on the great lakes. Not Florida bad, but not fun. Plus most of us don't have AC!
In Florida, I would go from freezing indoors, to dying outside in the heat!
@@kebert2thumbsup yeah it’s like winter north in reverse. Always have trouble trying to figure out what to do with my coat when I am shopping in a downtown area that is mostly outside because of the on and off and on again lol.
I work outside on my patio so no AC but I do have a fan to at least blow the hot air around lol.
I love the neighbor so much!!! This was amazing! Hope you don't get in trouble for telling the southern secret of 'Bless your heart.'
Being in VA... all so true: the sweaty eyelids, copperheads that pretend to be sticks....
Yep! My crazy family decided to go to BG today. I took a hard pass! 🤣
I moved from Montana to Virginia for one year. ONE. Dear GOD, I seriously don't know how you all do it lol
Then thankfully my hubby's worked moved us to Kansas. So now it's like Montana (no humidity) and Virgina (110% humidity) split the difference, just with no mountains and about 15% of trees that Virginia has lol.
@@sarasunshinemt4444 Just stay in as much as possible! If I’m outside, I spray down with the hose or go to the pool.
It's the same all over the south. We have rattlesnakes AND copperheads AND "daytime heating showers" that just make the heat and humidity worse in Texas.
And in the Tidewater of VA … plenty of cottonmouths..🐍😮 yikes!
Heat sickness and heat stroke is no joke. Be careful in the heat. It's just as dangerous as hypothermia.
The Midwest lady's accent is the most adorable thing, it cracks me up every time 😂
Hilarious! And what dedication to film in the hot sun, too! This should also be titled 'How to educated Northerners and Canadians about the South'
As a Yankee that's lived in the south; YES! Buahaha!!!!
“Sweatin like a sinner in church”….😂😂😂
Don't forget the "Palmetto Bugs" and how they climb in you ears and mouth while you are sleeping lol I still LOVE my home state of North Carolina though. In Asheville if it gets up to 82 we think it's a heat wave lol. I love when you include your northern neighbor, being a southerner married to a Ohio guy, I can really relate lol Love your videos!!
OMG in your mouth??! Never heard of palmetto bugs 😮 Lol I'll take New York roaches, thanks. At least they stay on the floor 😂
@@rachelpr1797 yup. they fly. and they're huge. though I have never had one in my ear or mouth. on my leg though while I was sleeping. I woke up and flipped out.
And I thought I didn't like Palmetto bugs before....😬😬😬
What?? Don't tell me that. Isnt that just a cute name for those giant cockroaches? The only living thing I'm scared of. Terrified.. I passed it on to my kids😏
@@sandywhite9796 Hahah Yes! But you have to admit "Palmetto bug" does sounds classy lol
I grew up in IL and now live in Alabama..this is HILARIOUS! Ugh! I woke up to 97% humidity this morning and tried walking our dogs…it lasted 5 min. My husky (yeah lol) kept looking at me like wtf are you thinking? Bless it we’re done for the day. 🤣🤣🤣
The neighbor seems so sweet. I like her accent. 😊
I grew up in Louisiana, I know about hot and humid and hoards of mosquitoes.
Hahaha!!!!! Your Midwest neighbor better avoid Texas then, we've got Copperheads, Water Mocassins, and multiple types of Rattlesnake. The brain eating amoeba is very sad and unfortunate part of Southern summers though, I lost a cousin to it.
I am sorry. God be with you and your family. May your hearts all be healed according to Isaiah 53, by the power of his saving and healing blood that was poured out for all. Let it be so, let it be so. I am truly sorry for your loss. It is good that you remind people the sun can have dangers.
North Carolina has all those snakes (though water moccasins are typically called cottonmouths here), plus coral snakes.
Rattlesnakes are in every state just so you all know lol 😆 😂
@@normalisntcomingback.Jesusis Ya' I know, we have Timber's as far north as Chicago here in Illinois. Though they are rare.
Love the videos y'all do with your Northern neighbor!
So true and that's what makes it so funny!!
My family has been planning a move from Cleveland, OH to Charlotte, NC where my son lives to avoid the cold winters. Yesterday, we were starting to re-consider since much of the country is under a heat wave and Cleveland has remarkably had 70+ degree weeks during January for the past 2 years. Thank you Holderness Family -- After watching this video we have officially changed our minds! LOL
I almost moved from Columbus to NC. It was so hot and humid that most people, myself included, stayed indoors when I went for a visit. Also, there were bugs everywhere, inside and out.
@@teacher345 Not to mention those tiny 🦎 lizards that get in their houses and the 'fire ant hills'! Besides... Global warming is working well for us Northerners by warming up our winters! We actually almost relocated to Columbus for my husband's job some years back. Beautiful city! Maybe we'll reconsider it. You guys don't have 'copperheads' do you!? ☺️😂
@@theswych - there are four kinds of venomous snakes in the United States: rattlesnakes, copperheads, cottonmouths (a.k.a. water moccasins), and coral snakes.

"Bless your heart, Steve"
Had me cracking up 🤣
🤣 It’a like a swamp in your underpants.”
Poor neighbor, she now knows what Kim feels in the summer. Tables turned. LOL.
That "Bless your heart" made me laugh so hard. I just now am finding out what it really means and when I lived in Arizona and was going to ASU, I was in a ministry that had mostly people from the south in it. They were ALWAYS saying "Bless your heart" to me and I thought they were just the sweetest people. I am finding out just recently that I am "neurodivergent" and at college age I was definitely that. Some of them are still my friends to this day - Ima gonna hafta have a little chitchat about that with them now.
Yesssssssss so glad to have it flipped the other way! Especially when Kim started talking about summer rain in Florida. Yup, every day. And the snacks! 🤣🤣🤣 so true
I love that her neighbour has one volume...loud! LOL bless your heart. 🙏🇨🇦💖
Definitely don't miss summer in NC! Can't go outside, have to run between air-conditioned locations, never cools off at night...Michigan is much better in summer!!!
This is honestly how my first summer in Texas felt. I'm originally from the Central Coast part of California where you can still wear a sweater in the summer. But my husband and I moved to Texas to be near his family two years ago and now I don't even bother going outside during the humid, hot summers here.
Do you miss the summer fog? Or too far inland for this?
@@LadyAnuB I lived more inland, but I did commute to the Central Coast daily. I just got use to the summer fog.
@@LadyAnuB Summer fog? That's what I get on my glasses when I walk outside in July in Chicago.
Lol this is so true. I live in the south and my husband is a northerner. He can’t handle the summer. I feel so bad for him. He cannot handle it, even after 6 years. Then again he wears shorts most of the winter. Lol
EVERYTHING you said is spot on. Hilarious. Florida resident here. St. Pete now and grew up in Sarasota and those are all so true. Sting ray season, gators in lakes and amoebas, afternoon thunderstorms for like 15 mins like clockwork some summers. Lol. I was dying thank you!
that little scream neighbor makes when Kim says "yeah thats a copperhead" so funny
I'm in Michigan and when it's over 65 I'm dead I hate HEAT
I can relate, in the summer we get "cabin fever" in North Carolina.
I lived in south Texas most of my life and moved to Iowa and boy, it's dead on minus the rain! Humid and scorching hot and literally run to one air conditioned spot to the next!
Florida here . You did a great job describing our summer's 😆
True story: I work in a fast food restaurant where we sometimes have to go outside to work the drive thru, and I always dread that part because it gets so hot!!! I don't think I'd be here to tell the tale if it wasn't for good old ice water!!! LOL!!
We are definitely melting here in AZ, but it’s a “dry” heat. Except for like now during monsoon season, we can get up to 50% humidity. 😂 Originally from VA so I know a little bit about humidity and it sucks!
I love AZ used to live in Tucson. Now I’m in Orlando FL. I find it amusing how 50% humidity is viewed. In AZ it’s high in FL it’s low. We get excited when it drops down to 50.
If money were no object and I didn’t have elderly parents to care for I’d move back to Tucson immediately lol. From someone whose done wet heat and dry I prefer dry.
@Kelli Graham - stay safe during the flash floods.
50% are you kidding me? Try 98% and hot.
50%!? There’s higher humidity here in the winter. In the summer it’s consistently above 85% to 90% plus upper 90s in temperature.
@@susanstetson3435 maybe one day you’ll get back here. Ya never know.
Me, a native Michigander, who eats tomato and Mayo sandwiches and also says bless your heart. No yeah the sandwiches are great
I live in Chicago and.........It's super hot in the summer (101...Probably not that hot 4 u) and we get terrible winters sooooo.....yeh
I grew up in Florida, and now live in Maryland. I thought the summers were supposed to be cooler in the north....
(and yes, technically we are below the mason-dixon line, but let's be real...)
OMFG!! I went to Orlando to visit my brother 2 years ago and it thunderstormed EVERYDAY!!! I couldn't believe it, then I realized why every store was selling ponchos!!🤦♀️🤦♀️.
I live in Rhode Island so very different weather down there!
Every summer I visit my relatives in VA and and tomato sandwich is still weird for me.
I (former Northerner) learned about tomato and mayo sandwiches visiting family in Kansas as a kid 🤣
The summer definitely took some getting used to! 🤣 After living my entire life in Michigan, then moving to the south several years ago, I am finally beginning to acclimate. But the humidity really is a different story down here! 🤣😂
Does the Minnesota girl have her own TH-cam channel? She's a f****** riot
Yeah/No she's from Michigan
@@kendallsmith1458 eh same thing lol
@@ashleyleavitt6219 NOPITY NOPE NOPE NOPE
This is definitely one of the best ones I’ve seen for y’all! Her Midwest accent is sooooooo on point!
I remember once being able to sit on the front steps and eat a whole tomato, when I was little in the summertime. I wonder if kids do that today?
It is amusing. When I was in middle school, my family moved from Iowa to South Carolina; and also spent several summers in North Carolina. Later, I returned to Iowa as an adult. I am and always will be a Midwesterner.
Even in my many years in the South, I never gave up my Midwestern ways. I'd hang outside, even in the middle of the day, no matter how hot; and I learned to accept it. I also ran around barefoot, despite poisonous critters.
I just didn't worry about snakes or whatnot. If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone. I never saw the point of sitting inside out of fear of heat, humidity, snakes, etc. We Midwesterners just don't live that way.
