The flamingos bring out Florida's eyes too
Not the colors specifically, just the chaos within them.
I misread that as flaminbros and now I’m sad there aren’t fratbro flamingos.
The name changed *and* he grew a backbone. We love character development.
Oh I didn’t see the name change until you pointed out
Just wait, he has only had 1 conversation with Florida. He has a long way to get broken 😂
DC needed that
Ikr. But I miss DC
Hahaha oh reading that now is funny
"If you keep fighting yourselves than nothing will change" - Ben
Wise words
Can't please everyone, someone will speak out, eventually.
Personally, I’m here for Gov’s character arc. He went from tired and hopeless to sassy and productive (or, he’s trying to be!)
Florida will fix that
@@CortexNewsService Florida will break him ❤️ but for now, Gov has hope! Sorta..
Give FL time. He's almost got him
Pretty sure gov and old DC are canonically different people
@@ATemplarIGuess yes but we got lost in translation
Sometimes the only way to get states to agree is to involve Chick Fil A
The grossest fast food restaurant next to the UPS Store (meaning its only slightly better than eating actual cardboard before I get comments from people who don't get the joke) but it is an effective manipulation tactic
@@NoThankUBeQuiet what
@@NoThankUBeQuiet chick-fil-a is one of the best fast food restaurants. They have the best customer service I’ve ever seen and they also have some pretty good food.
Chic fil A is also tied up with religion and southern states are all about that
chick fil a is godly
“No I don’t think i will”
_was that a reference to how close old man Captain America and biden looks similar_
I can’t unsee that now
Favorite part
FL: y'all know that chick-fil-a will also be affected
SC/TX: Raise the minimum wage!!!
lols for all
I didn't get it. Do SC and TX want chick-fil-a workers to be replaced by Godless robots? Why would they want that?
@@Hans293 I think they want the workers of Chick-fil-A to be compensated better, but honestly I didn't get it either
the joke is that when Texas said "Then Mc Donald's would replace their workers with GODLESS robots" the reason Chick fil A is closed on Sunday is because they want their workers to got to work on Sunday, and if they are Godless robots then they would be open on Sundays.
@@perlamedrano3637 The biggest thing is that SC isn't a very rich state, so raising the minimum wage raises prices for things that are already expensive to us, and wages and salaries for people not making minimum wage tend not to be raised.
Not as big of a deal if you're fairly well off with your salary or wage, but not great for anyone that just is making it. Basically, multiply California's "why are you not paying your teachers more?" question by all the other jobs. And the answer is that the average wage and cost of living is lower here to begin with.
as a south carolina resident we all support the chickfila period
what the chickfila goes through, we go through
I weirdly miss the Austin Texas character and I think I only saw him once.
Me too
Bring back Austin freak out California!
(not even a joke this happened irl, my cousin from CA visited my sister in TX and was so confused by Austin)
I'd love to see an el paso texas. Just to confuse everyone.
Which episode was he in? I keep trying to find it but can't
@@sada1504 WNR 8/18 Part 2: The USPS
I literally remember that alligator/drive through story 😂 It was a Wendy's, and the article ended with "no drug or substance use suspected at this time."
And if you believe that...
@@jimwormmaster fuuuuuck no
My first thought: "wait, THAT WAS A REAL STORY???" My second thought: "oh wait, it took place in Florida so why should I be surprised?"
What would happen if there was drugs
The blue tie really does bring out your eyes 😂
DC may have changed but Florida is still good old Florida
but he got a new tie with flamingos!
"Good" is a strong word.
Oh god, Montana's cameo about only paying teachers 30k is too accurate, same situation in Idaho 😭
I live here and they call it the Montana tax. We make 20-30k less than if we had the equivalent job in any other state. "bEcAuSe tHe cOsT oF LiViNg iS sO LoW" which is a bunch of horseshit.
Teachers are so underpaid
@@darmocat and they want us to move to anaconda cuz "it's a growing community"
Fuckin gatekeeper taxes.
in Switzerland, an animal rights law introduced there in 2008 makes it illegal to own just one guinea pig at a time.
I don't know if that's wholesome or just plain weird.
@@fictionfan0 wholesome. Guinea pigs can develop notable signs of depression and loneliness, sometimes to the point of dying from it. They're extremely social creatures
Ok I’m dead 😂😂 yep don’t take the south’s chick-fil-a!! We barely make it on sundays when they close! 😂😂😂
Really? We boycott it in the north.
@@sneauxone I have 2 where I'm at(LA county), and they are doing annoyingly well. Like 1 got built 2 years ago on the same street as the local gay bar.
We love them in the North...
I work at one and I’m in the North... I don’t like the CEO or his politics or views at all, but the one I’m at we get discounts on food and free drinks sooo....
@@afsteelersfan34 no we really dont
Yay! The flamingo suit (or at least a piece of it) has finally made its debut!
Cali finally realizing that nothing will change is the greatest thing ever. Now if only that could happen to real Cali. Again love the videos.
Gov and Washington speaking FACTS.
That Chik-fil-A comment, though. 🤣
I always smile when I hear about that gator at the Wendy's. Happened at the Wendy's right down the street my parent's house, I actually worked at that Wendy's for a while. Quit after a kid fished out on the floor from dehydration/overheating after eating some beans. I told him that'd happen, and he told me I was stupid... welp, now I'm giving you water.
God I do love Florida and Louisiana! I could listen to them all day! 😆. Love how you put “Ben” on the spot for not adding much! Wish it was an hour episode 😂
I kinda died when i saw DC was gone but i like the lovely character development.
I love how mentioning Chick-Fil-A immediately makes them want to raise the minimum wage
I’m liking the new season of the table.. the blue 💙
I like this new government.
DC needs a Pearl pin or something. Little shoutout to our VP
Or kick up his feet on the table wearing chucks.
or a pair of handcuffs pin
Man thought he was slick with that "no I don't think I will" line!!!
When will we see Florida in the full suit and all its flamingo glory?
Hurricane season.
I LOVE Washington's mug! Seattleite here, and I can say it's a very true statement (no pun intended)
Fun story I watched this on my break at McDonald’s and that last bit made me giggle extra hard
I love Florida's laugh. It makes my day, my week😀❤
The fact that you waited till post-trump to remind people pre-trump wasn’t paradise 🤣 but at least now we don’t have to watch Twitter for a play by play.
Day 7 of trying to find something for WV that isn’t thanks to our stupid governor: still nothing.
Well.... WV could have been in the video about the coup since a WV delegate was actually part of the crowd inside the Capitol. Although... I would love to see a future video incorporate the WV governor brining his axe and tackle box to his 2nd inauguration 😂
@@sato8875 what? Is that real? 😂
@@sato8875 I can’t wait for 2024. I just hope he doesn’t run again in 2028 (our governors can serve two terms, then they must wait at least one election before running again)
At least WV killing it with the vaccinations. Your governor got that one right!
Wait... Florida was the _voice of a reason_ for minimum wage?!
We live in crazy times.
So funny!! Loved the gator thru the drive thru when someone got bored!
You know things have gotten weird if Florida starts to make sense
So you changed DC's name.. thought you said you weren't going to😂😂not that I'm complaining.. but I love this so much
New DC is saying exactly what all us moderates have been thinking for months now, go off!
oh that’s embarrassing for you
@@cherrystrips3212 I meant saying that we don’t get anything done when we fight like kindergarteners on a playground. There’s a reason we say “United we stand, divided we fall” and that’s the reason. Nothing’s gonna get better until we stop fighting over everything.
@@lacrossestick132 at least dems and republicans have some sort of backbone, y’all stand for nothing
@@cherrystrips3212 I don’t know about other moderates, but I stand for liberty, safety, equality, and unity. Unity is the most important, we can’t get anything either side wants until we have that.
@@lacrossestick132 What does unity mean to you?
To me, the only way forward is to have different thoughts on solutions to problems that can be debated using facts and data to form policies that are most likely to allow society to not only survive but thrive into the future. But that requires people are united by facts, data, and logical argument. If people are united by national pride whether that pride comes from reality or false statements, that doesn't sound like a good unity to support.
"... they don't even have gator tail" Love the video's!
Been binging these.
Hilarious!!!!
Excellency and happiness. And a good set of expectations for what is to come and how to deal with it!
Love the opening, So true about the two side just making everyong fight.
That last one was BEAUTIFUL!!! 😂😂😂
Over the moon that Oregon has started making an appearance in more sketches.
Cali needed the backup since Texas had every state between TX and Florida.
You are my HERO. Thank you.
I love your videos so much. Thank you for making these times so much better
Thank you for having Montana in a University of Montana Grizzlies Sweatshirt! GO GRIZ!!!!
I'm just glad that Oregon made an appearance, and I also own that shirt.
Ahh so this is when GOV comes to the table & DC becomes its own thing. Nice
Did I punch the air happily as Washington spoke and literally said the same thing I was? Yes, yes I did
As a Texan that last part got me
Truer words have never been spoken.
Loved it! Only thing is, that in texas chickfila lines are much longer than McDonald's lines.
That's everywhere. Other restaurants complain about lost revenue, Chick-fil-A sales are up. They already had the most efficient drive through and it is really paying off now. Even when the line is wrapped around the building they are faster than any other fast food restaurant in our area.
listening to about guinea pigs and wondering why florida knows ... oh yeah.. lol
Was trying to see if there was finally a character for Washington State yet and I'm glad I did. Love the WSU representing
Go Cougs!
Looking sharp Gov 👌
This series is the only reason why I subbed. It's so damn funny!!
"I'm beginning to think it's not a new DC at all"
ouch, okay, got a bit deep there i guess
I love the fact that as soon as Florida mentioned chick fil a the whole south is like raise the minimum wage lol 😂😂😂
Honestly the first thing I think of when raising the minimum wage is the effect that that will have on restaurants because of their small profit margins
Funny thing is... it isn’t that small. Grocery stores is actually way smaller. Same pay unless you work at a big store too
@@TheMetroidblade thank you for informing me of that I intend to go into culinary and everybody always tells me that it's small profit Martians so you have to be super careful about what you do And at last time they raised the minimum wage the profit margins for a lot of restaurants were too small for them to stay open so I had assumed it would have a similar effect But perhaps not I should Do some better research
@@Goat_boii well... it’s complicated. Most stores have contracts but work on cents per item. After all they are just pushing an item you can get any where else. Where as restaurants need much higher to stay afloat. Just something I’ve noticed working in both fields and food production
@@TheMetroidblade ah~ great we love complicated things *sarcasm*
I wrote a several paragraph response breaking the numbers down based on my work at Wafflehouse and 6 other Food Service employments.. and then accidentally hit a thumbnail and lost it all. I might come back to write it again some time but the highlight summary could be something like this:
1. Food Cost with Waffle as an example: $0.25 for banmarie of waffle-batter yielded $195.20 without exaggeration given that the banmarie effectively yields a fair estimate of 64 sales at $3.05.
2. Worst case scenario marginal sale of waffle given $15/hr wage doubled to generously consider that one sale's possible marginal overhead still yielded an absolute minimum of capital (not just raw profit, actual all expenses and projection paid capital) of 50% above breaking even.
3. Even working one of the worst run wafflehouse units in the region, my absolute worst nights still turned an ROI of $240(profit counted from register start)/$132.50(labor "cost" of all staff for the shift) or 80% capital above breaking even (almost doubling the investment on the worst nights in the worst store where we wound up sitting around for hours because everything is done and there's that much delay between batches of customers)
4. Realistically it tended to be around $600/$132.50 or 353% capital above breaking even.
5. Studies have consistently shown that raising the minimum wage actually energizes the economy to the point of significantly improving profits.
6. Most importantly, and I can NOT stress this enough...
If you are responsible for an operation whose primary goal is to make a profit of the currency that allows survival as a reward for work, and you cannot so much as meet a basic standard of living for those carrying out your most essential duties YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS! The whole point of employment is a promise of survival. You do the work, you earn your keep. Beneath that is not just unfair or "disappointing", it's genuinely inhumane and a fundamental component of most poverty aside from systematic discrimination. Even gambling borne poverty has roots in an understanding that survival without debt is really only a chance given the employer weighted deal before you and I.
The name changed!!
The Chick-fil-A reference at the end I like that one
Chick fil a is literally the one way for Southern states to agree with anyone lol
As a proud Texan, nobody threatens our Chick Fil A
So good, I had to watch it twice!
Wow! You hit all the high notes with this one, Mr. Brainard. Quite the lecture on the realities of politics. Hope it registers with those who need to hear it. Well done.
Still waiting to see the rest of Florida!s flamingo suit, but the tie was well placed. 😂 Ps, everyone should learn Florida math.
The new tie looks great
Bwaaah. The chick fil a jab at the end had me dead 💀
Ayee, my favorite Florida Man story!
Holy frick. Listening to him say these things are just... Go off
Ok that very last joke made me laugh really loud
Yes! My favorite one.
Wow, that tie can change a man.
As a Texan who HATES Chick-fil-a, that's one hellofa joke you got there Ben! Please, keep churning out some more! Also, Hook'em Horns!
Just a small observation I’ve had:
Chick-Fil-A is to the South; as Dunkin is to New England
As a southerner, if Chick-fil-A went bankrupt, people would literally BURN THE CAPITOL TO THE GROUND. CHICKFILA IS LIFE TO THESE PEOPLE.
That’s a boring life
The most accurate parody of American politics that I've ever seen in my life.
Fantastic!
every time cali comes on i'm both simultaneously in complete agreement and "is that me???"
Finally, Washington shows up!
The joke at the end... I giggled out loud.
ROFL! OMG the Southern states weren't messing with Chick-fil-A. 😂
This was beautiful!!
smartest thing I've heard in the lognest time at the start
I’m surprised Texas wanted chick-fil-a to be affected, in my experience most of them say it’s the best QSR you can find 😂
Of the Chick-fil-A's I'm familiar with, they all start at higher than minimum wage.
I mean it wasn’t by much at the one I work at. Minimum wage was 7.25 and Chick-fil-A paid 8
@@swimmerman2233 Here they start at $10-$11 per hour, and offer benefits even to part time employees. And give raises after 1 year.
Depends on experience and owner operator
I lost it at "Chik Fil A" lmaooo
I love how Florida's the one to bring up Chick-fil-A
Flordia doing white claw math is like when Kevin can only do math regarding pie
i really like the Florida laugh ..
Less funny but WAAAAAAAY more informative this time around. Love the minimum wage argument. Yes, Montana, WHY AREN'T YOU PAYING YOUR TEACHERS MORE?! 🤦🏽♂️
I live here, we have the lowest salary in EVERYTHING. Across the board :D McDonald's pays more than the school
Exactly! All that democracy thing doesn't make sense
"I have very dark eyes" I noticed O/////O
YES!!! THIS MANS SPITTING FACTS!!!
That last one killed me lol
He's also the first president to be impeached twice and win both times.
Idgi. How does Florida only know math to get a certain amount of white claw? Why, Florida? 😩😂
He's so right... nothing changed... and we still can't afford anything on a minimum wage salary...
Finally someone gets it, if burger flippers make as much as teachers it means you're not paying the teachers enough. It's too bad there's no way to cap what executives make and have businesses use the profits to pay employees a living wage.
I am not an American, so I find this just slightly gloriously confusing, it just makes it more fun... also I love the Character consistency... and the way Florida is both idiot and genius, and it has been kept really well.
I feel like Florida giving math to Montana in number of white claws is pretty accurate. Considering Gallatin.
Where I live in idaho it seems like the unofficial minimum wage is $11 an hour.
There were two fast food restaurants literally right next to each other and only one had the starting wage posted outside ($11hr) the other was $9hr I don't know why anyone would apply at the second restaurant.
