As a Florida I am glad to know there is another state that has to deal with giant flying cockroaches
As a native Texan you're not alone on the flying roaches! Lol
As a Texan, cockroaches don't fly normally?
As an Australian it was jarring to learn that most cockroaches DON'T fly
Hawaii also has flying cockroaches, I saw one fly into my roommate's top in college. It was hilarious
@@kennyanderson1366Y'all have 'em too??
Wait, Gov! You forgot to ask South Carolina about the COVID rollout, the flimsy overarching excuse for these wonderful videos!
I chuckled pretty hard at “the flimsy overarching excuse”
@@Ben_Brainard Thank you, it's an honor to give you a chuckle, you who gives so many of us chuckles. Not only did this come out on my birthday, but I have a lot of family from South Carolina, and your descriptions were on point.
Also, I personally don't think the Scarowinds joke was that far of a stretch. Regardless, thank you for helping me to start another revolution around our G2V primary.
@@Halotaku happy late birthday!
“The monkeys on your monkey island don’t even have herpes.”
Ah, Florida. I live here, & even I forget some of our weirdness sometimes.
Brilliant, as always
You don't forget it. You're just used to it.
I have been waiting for this one for so long. And as someone stuck in Myrtle Beach.......accurate.
The Duke-Duke's moment is so accurate I felt like I was expericing deja vu in it's purest form.
Duke? Duke's? Duke Nukem? 😁
FINALLY MY HOME STATE GETS HERE!!!!!!
I have been waiting for this Welcome to the Table for years! Great representation of my home state
As someone who went from living in Orlando for 17 years to moving to South Carolina, this is BY FAR the best episode you’ve made.
I've only been to South Carolina once (on our way to Florida actually), and in it we passed South Of The Border and couldn't believe it was real, and then promptly got crunched between two cars and had to stand outside in the summer heat on the side of the road while a bunch of weird bugs were mating with each other/on us. So a lot of this resonated and then it was fascinating to hear the rest of it.
Finally, we’re here y’all
I'm not from SC but I've lived here going on 6 years now. This about sums it up.
OMG FINALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH BEN
I LOVE HOW ACCURATE THIS WAS
As a guy from SC I approve this message.
As a South Carolinian, I approve this message.
As a Texan I do say a Sweat Tea festival is an amazing idea
You have no idea how long I've been waiting and wanting to request THIS! Tysm❤❣️❣️❣️
According to Wikipedia the cane is actually on display in Boston.
The background feels nostalgic. It kinda reminds me the early days where Ben posted the table series before the blue background
lol SC approved, totally worth the wait
In NC, you know you’re getting close to SC when you see signs for South of the Border. You know you’ve crossed into SC when every building you can see is a fireworks warehouse.
Awesome best example 😂
I feel like he’s from South Carolina. He knows my state~
I gotta say, as someone who has spent far more time than they'd have liked to in sc, you cant boil down the entire bbq culture down to just Carolina gold. Because, in all honesty, it's one of like a couple dozen distinct styles in SC and it's limited a very specific area in the Midlands.
But also there's some decent camping in the upstate and absolutely nothing but swamps full of abandoned rum runner shacks in the lowlands.
Today we see Gov learn that knowledge isn't always power.
"What is it?"
Left-over 70s kitsch.
FINALLY SOME REPRESENTATION
As someone who lives right in the NC/SC border just north of Myrtle beach holy FUCK that’s scary accurate
As a Floridian, I too listen to bad bunny while Umm “Dancing”
I have to drive from NC to SC to see my mom, and I swear to god nobody I know online believes me about South of the Border hahaa
In your listing of different Dukes, I'm surprised you didn't mention the best group of bbq restaurants in the state, Duke's BBQ. They're all related in some way, but it's not a chain. The mustard sauce and hash, glorious Lowcountry cuisine.
Definitely need to go to the grits festival. The weigh you first then you jump in a pool of grits, roll around trying to get as much grits as possible to stick to you, then after you get back out they weigh you again, and the person with the most grits wins. Then there's also the Hellhole Swamp Festival, Spring Cooter Fest, and the Bog-Off to name a few.
They hold the BBQ festival semi-finals in my hometown every year :') maybe one of these years I'll finally make it at the right time
As a south carolinian mustard bbq on ribs is great
As a native Floridian, just thinking about Palmetto Bugs makes me break out in a cold sweat. Many, MANY bad memories...
I was waiting for NC to make an appearance and have NC and SC get into a huge fight about barbecue or something😂
And even as a North Carolinean, I hate Duke as well😂
I live in Columbia and this is all correct
We have the barbecue sauce mustard, but we don’t use it. I’m pretty sure it’s a money laundering front.
Fun fact: cockrels don't have talons, they have claws. Talons belong to birds of prey, other birds have claws
Ben, about how long do you spend just making various silent expressions into the camera when filming an average one of these episodes? I suspect the answer would shock us.
As funny as this is how can you skip over Charleston? Its literally the one city in the entire state that is actually worth an out of state trip to go visit!
As someone who lives in Charleston, I’m glad he didn’t draw any more attention to us. We don’t need it.
No, do not talk about Charleston. We've got more than enough transplants and visitors as it is. Whoever started putting us in travel magazines deserves a game of Twister on an oyster bed.
@@coltwindstorm2549 ROTFLMAO. I grew up on the Outer Banks. My family still lives there... how do you think I feel about that stupid OBX Netflix series???? That happens to be shot in freakin Charleston! Seriously though I love Charleston, it's one of my most favorite places on earth.
@@coltwindstorm2549 Myrtle Beach Native here ... yeah. Copy paste, oyster bed full of broken glass.
Oooh, 26 is actually in overhaul right now, so the last stretch westbound before Columbia where it meets 20 is an ABSOLUTE CLUSTER, and will be for the next decade or so... Better learn your backroads!
From what i heard, SC has a problem with Ohioians for some reason (probably with Myrtle Beach and college football apparently)
I live in greenville
I feel honour-bound to mention New Mexico also has nukes and one of the highest rates of police-involved killings per capita in the country. We used to be #1 in alcohol-related traffic deaths and teen pregnancy, but it got better. A little.
Also I moved to Canada, so don't hassle me about that extra "u" or I will send The Geese
But are you a real Canadian if you say geese and not the Canadian Air Force?
Don't threaten me with a good time! Send em
Ah, the lesser Carolina.
"They don't care-they're Marines." Nearly choked on my drink.
And if most of said Marines are from here... that explains a lot.
My uncle was a marine and I legit lost it when I heard that.
Fun fact: when senator Brooke’s beat Charles sumner being the little weasel he is decided to surprise attack him because he knew he couldn’t beat him in a one on one fight.
Brooks died soon after. Painfully. Bladder infection, I believe.
Edit: Throat infection.
Afterwards Representative Burlingame goaded Brooks into issuing a duel with an absolutely scathing speech. Brooks then backed down like a coward because Burlingame was famously a crack shot and he realized issuing the challenge meant Burlingame had the right to dictate the rules of the duel. It was supposed to take place on the Canada side of the Niagara Falls to get around anti dueling laws, but Brooks said he couldn’t get to Canada without being slaughtered by a northern mob
If you are going to give fun facts you might want to get your facts right. Preston Brooks wasn't a senator he was Congressional Representative.
Man that's like going up against an undermanned fort that the government is already trying to sell to you.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916There also needs to be some comma’s. The way they wrote it makes it sound like the guy beat to death is a little weasel.
The face that Florida gagged at something is something to be feared 😭
Mustard barbecue sauce isn't that bad. It's not that good, either, but that's neither here nor there.
That was more a Ben thing than a Florida thing if I’m being honest 😂
@@Ben_Brainard We gotta do somethin' 'bout our neighbors: SC's got mustard BBQ sauce and 'bama's got mayo BBQ 🤢
@@paulcalixte2223 fun fact: dry rubbed and smoked is far superior than mustard base bbq. And I'm born and raised in Columbia SC
If you really want good eatings, try smoked brisket
@lumberjackofalltrades I agree mustard based BBQ tends to be more of a novelty. I don't see locals choose it often.
Thank you, Ben, for giving my brain a dose of the happy chemicals during this dismal study period.
Ha. School. It only gets worse from here
As someone from South Carolina…this hurts in the funniest and cringiest way possible and I love it. You must be saving the fact that our dumbasses started the Civil War for another skit 😂
Also, the bit about I26 is TOO REAL, bc I have had that happen to me and that was when I discovered I do in fact have road rage.
I thought about saying y’all started the war, but I think like 3-6 other states also have that claim!
Brooks beating Sumner was def a big factor though!
I personally discovered I have road rage when a squatted SUV almost took off my front bumper in near gridlock traffic on I-20. There was definitely not enough room for him, but he came over anyway (no blinker, obviously). When I stomped on the brakes and blew my horn, he turned around (cus he was hanging out the window to see) laughed and Gave Me The Bird. 🙂
Yall might have been the first to secede and had a wild history, but yall also gave us Chadwick Boseman, so definitely a mixed bag
north carolina is better!!! all your roads are shitty and filled with more homeless people than a poverty shelter in LA
@@Newton-Reuther I think they can be forgiven for the who succeeding thing for producing Chadwick Boseman.
"And Disney isnt actually in Orlando." Hee! The kids in my life had rhe exact same reaction as Florida. I didn't even bother remind them that they only knew where Disney actually was because of Ben. 😂😂 Good to see the Table!
Disney is South of Orlando. Closer to Kissimmee.
I am with your kids on that
Did you have to take that from Orlando? Now it just has the Pulse tragedy, the collapsing highrise apartment building and that senior citizen's home where you get free national secrets with the waffle buffet left for it...
@@Ugly_German_Truths The Pulse club was a few miles up Orange Ave.
Champlain Towers was 200 miles Southeast of Orlando, near Miami.
I've not heard about the nursing home?
I feel like when Florida gets called to the table, it's gonna be an intervention.
it was already called
@@Atalas5 It needs to be recalled an intervention is *LONG* overdue for the place.
It was among the first ones at the table...
I love this idea. I could also see the states calling an intervention for the government at dome point.
As a North Carolinian descended from South Carolinians and once a resident of Columbia, this cracks me up! 100% accurate! Except how on earth did the one week of giant signs proclaiming "COCKFEST!" on every major road into the state Capitol get missed?
As person not from south Carolina this is 100% accurate.
Not 100% but pretty close!!
As someone who's lived in SC the last 11 years I concur, not quite 100% but extremely close haha
HAH
I like you
As someone who was born and pretty much raised entirely in SC (4year tour in TX from 1-4) it’s like 95% accurate. I still have no idea what is at South of the Border but I do not want to ever find out
@@EclecticBear I got to know, what is south of the boarder?
As someone from South Carolina i’ve been waiting for this since the beginning of the table. Thanks for finally doing South Carolina it was really funny. 😂
"I feel lied" to should be what the American people say not the American government. Love thesevideos Ben
3:34 Haha! As a North Carolinian, the reason no one drives on the right side of the road is because they’re driving on what’s left of it. Also lookin forward to seeing one of your shows!!
As a former NC resident... Yeah, that has happened to me.
Good to see the table is back
It’ll be coming slower bc I have a lot of things going on, but it’s still coming!
@@Ben_BrainardHa! That's...what.......she...uh
.....said! 😂😅😅
@@nyghtmareinmi Ye God's Floridaism is spreading! 🤣
Thanks for covering my weird old state! If you ever decide to visit, do it in the spring or fall, wear bug spray, and don't forget to be pleasant with people. You ain't gotta say hey to everyone you see, but there's a level or general respect for your fellow human around here, and we like it that way
Mac and cheese is a vegetable, and sweet tea is the only tea! You can find me behind the Lizard's Thicket if you disagree
Is sweet tea something other than tea with sugar? Is the tea green, red, black, white, or yellow? Cause I prefer greens and reds with sweetener (I usually use honey instead of sugar) but I do specifically use peppermint tea during Christmas time
Lipton Tea usually. Bowen/Black tea, sweetened to taste. Served cold.
@@tesseracttitan6445 Lipton black tea, sweetened with either honey or enough sugar to give you diabetes (usually honey when homemade, sugar when store bought)
Oi fellow south Carolinian!
The only 2 options for native Charlstonians is American Classic or Tetley Tea. Both are black Oolong Teas.
South of the Border. Tackiest place on Earth. In college in Central PA in the mid 90s, we had a conversation about where to get some fireworks. I mentioned the only place I knew for sure to get them was South of the Border. 45 minutes later, we started a 24 hour round trip from Gettysburg to there and back. I would tell stories, but I can't say I remember much of the trip
I hate that place with a passion, and the fact that it insists on reminding you it exists for like a hundred miles in either direction doesn't help.
I’ve never visited it but lord knows I want to every single time I see those billboards
@@Ben_BrainardYou have to go to the gift shop
it's easily like the size of a Walmart and there's a year round Christmas room
@Ben_Brainard worth it at least once passing by. Maybe not worth a 10 hour each way round trip. But gotta experience it once
Finally SC
I've been waiting so long
(As a person from SC) Very accurate especially the palmetto bug part
Also we have 3 types of barbecue sauce: ketchup/tomato based, viniger based, and mustard based
There are many sauces, but this one is mine
South Carolina, we were the Florida of the original 13 colonies and for the first 50 years of the country's existence. Also where the first shots of both the American revolutionary war and Civil War (We may or may not have started the wars, but were sure hell made it officially happen) were fired. Home of the Catfish Festival (which is in my hometown-which is truthfully the only thing my home town is known for). If SC is in the national news, it's not for anything good. We're also know for having the OLDEST SENATOR at 1 point (Strom Thurmond, he was our most famous senator for 48 years). We'll also we shut down the entire state if we get any amount of snow on the ground.
Which one? Because I'd heard there was more than one, and the town I grew up in was known both for the Catfish Festival and the number of fireworks stores just off the 95. I'm nowhere near there now, but I couldn't remember where else it was.
2:44 "Why did I write that" ... wrong Ben.
The meta humor
As someone born and raised in South Carolina? This is true, although he forgot the legend of the gray man where it says before hurricane hits if you see the gray man on the shores of Pawleys Island, your house will be spared and let’s not forget beautiful Greenville, South Carolina, and Spartanburg, but mostly downtown Greenville great great place to visit. and I am a Clemson fan who due to family relations going to Duke is also a duke fan and we’re not talking mayo
Oooo i didn’t hear the one about the gray man!
@@Ben_BrainardDid you hear about the submarine we made that drowned a crew, we recovered it and cleaned it out, and then it drowned another crew XD
Or the Guinness World record for the biggest sweet tea sculpture is in Summerville, SC
or that when the British attacked Fort Moultrie the cannon balls bounced off the palmetto logs (and the palmetto tree isn't technically a tree, it's a grass) the fort was built from and destroyed the British ships with their own balls
@@Ben_BrainardMy friend’s mom picked up the Gray Man on the side of the road just before Hurricane Hugo. He disappeared from the back seat of her car! 😱
What about Ann Bonny! She's not only one of the few female pirates that gained infamy, but she even weaseled her way out of the gallows and disappeared without a trace at the end of her career
hey, as a new mexican. I want our one thing back!!!! we promise not to crash anymore stolen ufo's
I almost wrote in a line about the chilis but it wouldn’t have fit time wise 😩
Well written, and good editing on that part. definitely made the joke funnier
@@Ben_Brainard
That’s right. Aliens are your one thing. Cause our green chili is better.
Amen brother, Why do you think they were flying over new Mexico in the first place...it has nothing to do with the locals growing their own, Herbal remedies at the time....@@arm279145
I was trying to figure out how someone was a new Mexican and then I realized you meant from new Mexico
I'm such an idiot
As a native SC, all very true. Love the reference to Dirty Myrtle. A little sad Greenville and the Upstate didn’t get a mention, but maybe that’s cause we’re still managing to keep it a secret. You acknowledged the greatness of the one true mayo though, so props for that!
Duke's RULES!
Greenville really is the crown jewel of the state but don’t tell Charleston bc she’ll just gather up her petticoats & run until she collapses!! Not until Miss Lindsey Graham.
As a former Floridian I laughed too hard at that Disney joke. I miss Florida. Georgia only has a large rock it has the nerve to call a mountain.
South Carolina, you still got South of the Border?! My family used to pass through it on vacation all the time when I was a child. I miss it, too.
And we have a big chicken
And a giant peach mooning the Highway.
I havent been in a decade but I heard they cleaned up SOTB. I dont really go to the northern beaches so havent had an excuse to pass it
South Carolina, the northern Florida of the Southern States.
🤣
As an honorary party time South Carolinian,a 13th generation Florida Man, and a BBQ expert I have to say: 1, Mustard BBQ sauce is amazing, and 2, Mustard BBQ is an Eastern Carolinas (both) thing not a SC thing. In Western SC and Western NC they use the vinegar Moppin' Sauce.
That's a lie. We use Mustard base in the SC upstate.
mustard base is very sc and vinegar base is nc, it blends a little bit depending where you’re at. lived by the mountains and state boarder for most my life but at that point you get both options. eh but mustard is pretty much state wide sc
@@mryamp they use mustard BBQ sauce in Eastern North Carolina, and everyone I know in the proper SC highlands (towns like Long Creek, Rocky Bottom, and Mountain Rest) use vinegar.
@@iwontliveinfear I'm from Oconee County near Mountain Rest. Everyone I know uses Mustard Base. Vinegar base is an option, but most use Mustard base. Even then most smokehouses I've been too from from the upstate to the low-country have mustard base as an option. I'd say Mustard is definitely the South Carolina sauce.
As a person who lives in Daytona Beach I thank you, Myrtle Beach can suck it
As a person born and raised in Daytona Beach: WE ARE THE MODEL
@@Ben_Brainard only place you can race on the beach ⛱️
I won't lie, as a South Carolinian boy scout, finding hundreds of cigarette butts everytime we clean it is very concerning and disappointing, so when my family go's on vacation, we go to Tybee Island, might not be the best, but it's still a beach😅
Pawleys island is better
As somebody from Greenville, SC - there's a good reason we send all the tourist types there lmfao
More the table woooooo
"they're marine, they just want to fight"
*Affirmative Rahing in the distance*
You know after watching this show for years I am realizing that every state doesn't like the Federal Government for one reason or another
I’ve been a subscriber for over a year, and i’m so excited to finally have my state join the table!
Excellent as always Ben, only 9 more states need to be done.
Dunno if you read comments but was curious if you planned to re-do some of the older "Joins the Table" videos if you feel you didn't talk much about a particular state.
Wait till he hears about the watermelon festival like a week of nice little things in a even smaller town
I live in Florida and Disney is not in Orlando for sure! 😂
Just like Bush Gardens is not in Tampa
Funny thing, I watched your Illinois joins the table video yesterday where you recapped all the states that had joined the table so far up to that point. I think you meant to mention North Carolina in the list of states you'd done so far but said South Carolina in the video. Me, thinking this introduction was already a thing, went to look for this video thinking it'd already came out and now it's on my feed today. The timing could not be more incredible.
Why was the “Why did I write that” Line given to GOV instead of Ben? 😂
I was getting kinda worried you weren’t gonna mention that we grow more peaches than Georgia. And we have more peach water towers too
As a New Yorker in Florida, the fact "mine acts like AI" is sadly true...but don't disrespect mac n' cheese.
Duke's mayo is good. It tastes good and is one of the only ones I have found without lemon juice or citric acid in it, which I'm allergic to, so that's extra good.
As a south carolinian, I laughed far too hard at the Brook's Cane joke. I saw that in the state museum when I was like 8
Points for Governor Foghorn Leghorn. Missed opportunity to mention the Coburg Cow as an indicator for if Charleston should be scared for a hurricane or not.
As someone from the upstate, it's actually a very beautiful state and lots of people know that. Don't listen to other locals who complain about too many people moving here.
As a South Carolinian (who's really sad that I can't make your show - you're playing my home town while I'm in NY for college!), All of this checks out. Down to our thoughts about Florida ❤
I am legally obligated to inform you that it is spelt "Parris Island", and is best enjoyed in July
Mustard BBQ sauce is delicious. Fight me.
2 things.
You are right, it is good.
And
I didn't realize that it was a SC thing.
Did you just ask Florida to fight you?
@@DustMug You're goddamn right.
Mustard is good on barbecue, but what all is in mustard barbecue sauce? I don’t like standard barbecue sauce.
as a South Carolinian who loves mac-n-cheese, it is indeed a veggie at all restaurants
There is only 1 "Carolina" & it ain't the South one, just sayin
Hey, I'm loving this series!
This made lunch my first day at work amazing 🥰
Hope the rest of your day goes well, and congrats on the new job!
@@eldorados_lost_searcher Thanks so much! And I hope you have a great day, too 🥰
As a Georgian, the peach thing is totally true, and they're generally better at it too. It's all super backwards, because our best crop is actually peanuts, and if you ain't had Georgia boiled peanuts you ain't lived. Not to say Georgia peaches aren't amazing, but fresh SC peaches are just that good.
Kinda sad that he didn't mention boiled peanuts! I tried to explain boiled peanut stands and my partner thought I was unhinged
Sassafras Festival and the Lobster Races in a land locked county in South Carolina are the best (or not).
Fun fact about the "more peaches than Georgia" thing is that there's an even bigger gap than most people think. Just one single location (a produce grower called Titan farms in Ridge Spring SC) has alone routinely grown more peaches than the entire state of Georgia for years.
and that's the last of the 13 original states/colonies
As a South Carolinian I beg you to make more South Carolina content.
Oh the painful accuracy! 😂😂😂
I exclusively refer to McMaster as Foghorn Leghorn!
And the first time a palmetto bug flew at me, I literally ran out of the house screaming at the top of my lungs "THEY HAVE WINGS?!? NOBODY TOLD ME THEY CAN FLY!!!"
I almost lost it when you said “and Disney isn’t even in Orlando”!!!!! Having lived in Orlando for like 25 years that ALWAYS drove me INSANE!!!! It’s NOT in Orlando!!! It’s in Lake Buena Vista!!! MUCH closer to Kissimmee than Orlando!!!!
South Carolina upstate skips on past without getting mentioned. Yes just mention how weird we are, so Cali people don't actually know about the good shit. Thanks Ben ;)
I love how cranky South Carolina is
It's 65 degrees with 85% humidity in my hometown at this moment when I checked. The high of the day was 85. Why do you THINK they're cranky XD
