@@smileyface3956 as in slavonia, i live in a village of around 4k people and everyone knows everyone, if you are younger they will know you by your parents or grandparents. It is much cooler than living in a big city because you feel like a part of the community, in a city you are just a number of the population.
I would like to thank you for coming to our small community to do this, although I was only a freshman in highschool and didn’t get to attend I heard a lot of stories and this town is amazing! James was actually my boss for 3 years and everyone in this video is someone who I am close with him some form! I only lived there throughout my highschool years and everyone was more than welcoming and I became a big influence in the short time i was there.
Aaron Tong that’s actually very deep if you think about it. Compare social situation in bars in cities and suburbs. And then look at this video where the town knows everyone. It’s really heartwarming
It was so sweet how that reporter came up to them. Just imagine, that he went to his favorite place to grab breakfeast and heard about 'three kind young men asking around about starting a party' and he was like, 'Well that's a story!' and quickly got into his car looking for them. The way he approaches them is so sweet. Bless this town, feels like radiator springs from Cars.

I'm sure y'all will never see this but i just wanted to comment and let you guys know this video single handedly changed my perspective on what it means to live a fulfilling life. I watched this when it was first posted and think about it weekly, especially the clip with the teacher who moved away and came back because she realized she could make a much greater impact in a small community. I grew up in a smaller town and never felt like I fit in, so I moved away to the city never expecting to look back. Now I've been here for a decade and a lot of my time is spent feeling like a cog in the machine and reminiscing on the place I came from. This video and its concept as a whole is so incrediblely beautiful and human and I really feel grateful to have been witness to it. So thank you so much. And if my family and I ever get to follow our dreams and move out to a little farm in the middle of nowhere I will continue to think of this video and be thankful for it ❤
Okay, the fact that they weren’t even in the town for half a day and the newspaper of that town was already looking for them to write a story!!!! 😂 this is amazing
sad thing it wasnt the newspaper from the town it is a county newspaper that is run in a bigger town down the highway.... thats small town middle america

Mission accomplished. Just checked the 2023 town rankings on Google and Mankato is no longer on it. No doubt thanks to the good people at Yes Theory. In all seriousness, thanks to the entire "Yes Theory" content creation team for putting out such high quality positive energy for the rest of the world to consume. I love the message and the idea of stepping outside one's comfort zone. It's an amazing world out there, and it's an amazing time to be alive.
I didn't think the town was boring. It was quiet and worked at its own pace. The community seemed really open minded and welcoming to anyone outside looking in. Seemed like really good folk.
my experience in a small town was sadly in a past sundown town, so i didn’t get this warmth and generosity they got. i’m so glad there are small country towns out there in the US that provide the hospitality that shows what the US is all about

Small town America is the best. Coming from someone who has experience in small town America who currently lives in LA... the genuine hospitality, kindness, and goodness of small town folks is very very missed. Thank you for showing people that these small towns have very big hearts
Mankato is my parents' home town, and they lived there in the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Your video here really did Mankato justice, and I assure you that nothing has changed from when my parents grew up until now. Well done and thank you!
I live in a town that has 300 people, we all know each other and from my side we just don't really care, as long as someone is kind to us we open to them, that's how alot of small towns are
This one was just plain surprising and I smiled through the entire video. If I should ever be ANYWHERE near Mankato, I’ll be stopping in to say hello, have a bite to eat, have a drink in a barn and maybe leave with a different hair color! Excellent video guys 🌈✨
I was born in a generally small city (Garden City, Kansas) I live in Texas now, but whenever you went out you would recognize almost everyone. Committing any small offense would ruin your life because everyone will recognize you as the one kid who broke into the middle school and stole snacks from the vending machine (some kid actually did that)
As someone FROM Kansas City -> D.C. I cannot thank you enough for giving such a positive look into small town life and the positivity and community that can be found there ❤️ Also, the pink hair is totally a Kansas thing 🤣

Katie exactly my thoughts 🤣
Or magic mike
Hahaha the dude was ready like it was the apocalypse
Aka he was hot... 🥴😏😏
OMG YES LOL
"the cops are here"

This comment lmaooo 😂
This is the best and apt comment i hv seen
hahahaha yeeees
Mankato is my parents' home town, and they lived there in the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Your video here really did Mankato justice, and I assure you that nothing has changed from when my parents grew up until now. Well done and thank you!
i stan the journalist, still practicing his passion and writing for the town and following stories. id like to enjoy my future job that much.
yeah :)
Yeahh
@Derek Lopez Im the 1000th

The reporter showed up like a messenger in Skyrim
Hahahahah golden comment
I'm s c r e a m i n g that's so accurate
I’m deadddd 😂😂😂
I love you HHHH
fuckkkk 😂
BRO THEY MADE IT TO THE NEWSPAPER IN LIKE 10 MINS IM
The only story probably
'you were the most interesting story in 3 years' - 4 random men turn up and havnt even said anything yet
That’s how it is in my town! I literally made the newspaper doing stupid shit.
Coming back here and watching this for nth time. I just love this video so much 😭🫣❤
I miss old yes theory 🥲
“We’re kinda old but....” aww
shed a tear when she said that I love these people 😍😢
My heart melted😊
“You guys are the most interesting thing in the last 3 years”🤣
I wanna know what happened 3 years ago...

I always thought the phrase “everybody knows everybody” was an exaggeration but in this town that is LITERALLY the case
I used to live in a little town called Pescadero, California and it's the same but even smaller i think.
There’s a city in Nebraska with a residency of 1 person 😂
Patrick Henry and it’s crazy bc even in Lincoln (where I live) also the capital city you know basically everyone.
This town was actually kind of big compared to small town north dakota where I live
ItsaGrac I went to school In Mankato and everyone knew me by my truck or by name and I was great 😂
As a small town midwesterner I LOVE this so much. Thank you for such accurate and loving representation.
This is my home town. Ive lived here for 13 years. The population is getting bigger. Brenda is my lunch lady lmao
Ha that’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard, tell her I said hi
The population are declining. From 1205 pop at 1980 to 809 at 2020.
@@daraobrien282 Love to see a party thrown there
That's awesome!!! I love small towns. They're getting hard to find where I'm from.
Haha wtf
im pretty sure the whole town was like "we should do this more often"
hahaha correct
Same here.. for sure they did.
Nah, I bet they didn’t say that, hope they will never though
@@x_gosie why?
@Norhurst true
When small towns are more open minded than some big cities 😲
I often find that true
Isn't that normal?
Because a big cities haves busy peoples. 😑
I live in a town that has 300 people, we all know each other and from my side we just don't really care, as long as someone is kind to us we open to them, that's how alot of small towns are
@@aresmarrow7713 where's this?
This one was just plain surprising and I smiled through the entire video. If I should ever be ANYWHERE near Mankato, I’ll be stopping in to say hello, have a bite to eat, have a drink in a barn and maybe leave with a different hair color! Excellent video guys 🌈✨
That may be the smallest town and most boring town, but they are the most wholesome people you can find.
I was born in a generally small city (Garden City, Kansas) I live in Texas now, but whenever you went out you would recognize almost everyone. Committing any small offense would ruin your life because everyone will recognize you as the one kid who broke into the middle school and stole snacks from the vending machine (some kid actually did that)
Check out Ravina South Dakota
I love wholesome people 🥰
I’m from nyc
Indeed.
Ikr this made me so happy!
It’s so funny how everyone is related and it’s like a goose chase to find a location
If you're from the Midwest these towns are literally everywhere
Alex Sibila yeah
Tru
Okc they're literally everywhere
North Dakotan here. Yea these are everywhere
Literally all of western Nebraska
As someone FROM Kansas City -> D.C. I cannot thank you enough for giving such a positive look into small town life and the positivity and community that can be found there ❤️ Also, the pink hair is totally a Kansas thing 🤣
Crazy how open everyone was even the old generation was open to Yes Theory and partying. That's awesome to see!
Old people have worked their entire life and must have been atleast 30 years since their last proper party so it brings them back.
The first time someone at party says "the cops are here" as a good thing.
Stripper cops
@@maxdeborde6772 u right
Stolen comment lol
It's amazing how everyone is just down to do it. They don't question it. They're not suspicious. They're just like "yeah, let's do it."

This whole episode made me smile and sob a little too, emotional. Gracias!
Local grocery store manager says ok to using his property for a party and then you go to Walmart to buy your groceries. Savages.
Total disrespect lmao
They did shop at his store. You can see the same red and blue stripes when they are buying stuff........
Ok but imagine living in this town for like 20 years, then all of a sudden 3 dudes show up, throw the best party you've ever attended, and then just left.
😔 sad

Idk man. How old was your dudes wives? Lmao
@@fxt701 we have the same god lol. Christians and Muslims believe in the same god
Hearing that guy say “were old but we get around” made me almost cry. The thought of you guys making some old timers night by just simply making them feek young warmed my heart so much. I WAS in tears by the end. You guys are amazing and i hope you continue your journey of making people feel alive. God bless you and the residents of that town.
Same. Very same. This was so beautiful.
@@triiipleram4563 they said they almost cried dummy.
I know right. I enjoyed this video so much.
Don't wait for someone else to create the environment that you crave, and those you meet can easily become friends for life. Hits hard
This is literally like one of those towns where everyone knows eachother and where evil alien lands and a group of people fight and defeat the alien.
It's not Stranger Things man😂
You had me at first and then
you watched that one episode of love, death & robots way too much lmao
literally the story from IT with Pennywise
@@kazi8895 first thing I thought when I saw this comment
i really love how the people there just know everyone else. like i dont even know my next door neighbor
Go introduce yourself
The go and talk to that person.

Thanks for the explanation ❤️
This is the most wholesome thing. I love how everyone they meet knows someone else who can help even more and tags along with them. Subbed just for that
“I’m just a little uncomfortable with this”

I noticed that as the guy said that he's uncomfortable with this, Thomas revealed what is written on his shirt XD
@@mayahart6825 yeah haha.
bruh moments
"Most boring town" turned out to be one of the most wholesome lol
Just like most small towns are. That's one of the most obvious differences between these small towns and larger cities.
That's how small towns are
Big cities full of jerks. But not everyone
@Jacob Underwood I live in Ely. Much more boring.
The nicest thing is you brought everyone together for a free feed and some time together. Being in a town like this can be very isolating but you've brought all ages together and it's really wonderful. They'll be talking about you boys for years to come.
