Hi! I can't get this link to work. Is it just me? I'd really love to get your book.
Excellent Saturday morning story to close out 2023, JD! You're the best, friend, and Lord willing, I'll be sitting with you for every one of your stories in 2024!
Thanks so much Scott, Happy New Year Brother!
I'd love that story whether it was true or not. But if I were Lyin' Amos, I'd head for the hills if I ever saw Dragon coming! Anyway, y'know the Irish love storytelling as much as anyone. I always got the impression that what made a lie a good story instead of a sin was if it were told so over the top that nobody could take it seriously. Like a Paul Bunyan story. One time when I got back from a trip as a child, the teacher invited me to tell the rest of the class about it. I started to talk about how my cousins down south had to walk across the backs of hungry alligators with great snapping jaws to reach the school bus every morning. Teacher made me shut up and go sit down, which was a shame since I was very proud of myself for that story.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I spit my coffee out
@frostyfrances4700 Do you still tell stories?
@@justanotheralmaroad1923 - Only the clearly Bunyanesque kind. People today have been lied to so long on such a massive scale about serious matters, which they believe, so I don't want to risk misleading people. Good friends might get the slow roll-out version though, since they know me well enough to suspect when something's afoot. And they're not going to storm off in a snit b4 I can get to the punchline. I'm sorry to say that where I retired mostly for financial reasons in a politically incompatible region (let's NOT get too specific here) in the great rural Midwest, too many people are already full of (in my view) unreasonable doubt of my motives and the state of my immortal soul. I try not to throw too much fuel on that fire. Not good for anyone. Kindly forgive me if I've already crossed that line here.
And thank you for asking, btw. I am guilty of having told my son's little preschool friends that the chicken feather I stuck in a corner of a poster of the old Arabian Nights movie had fallen to the ground one night; I was outdoors enjoying the stars when I heard a rush of mighty wings and Pegasus himself flew over. And lost one of his feathers. Which I retrieved and stuck on the corner of that movie poster featuring his likeness in case he ever flew over again. ...... But you can't get away with that story if any listener is over the age of 4 or 5 for sure. When they're around 3 though it flies well.
Hey JD. I would have been like Hiram so mad i could have bitten nails in half. Over the years i have seen jokes that hurt others. Folks really need to think it through before pulling a prank that could be harmful
I enjoyed it JD thank you. Hey i found you on RUclips tv yesterday. Watching your story telling on big screen makes it so much realistic.
YES! I make these videos in 4k just for You Tube TV :)
These stories keep getting better. Some one asked me the other day if I could visit one place where would it be? I'm thinking the Appalachia's.
Thanks so much Spencer!
Really enjoy your channel, thanks for being around, ❤
Thank you Sharon
JD I pray you and your family are doing great Amen 🙏
All is well brother, how are you feeling
this reminds me of a friend i had, he died about 10 years ago. he was definitely an artistic liar! he was a short man. one of his tales was, he worked in construction one time, they were doing work on a bridge over the marsh mud. another man who was shorter than him! slipped and fell in the mud and sank to his armpits! he said they swung a backhoe bucket with a rope tied on, they told shorty to tie it under his arms. they pulled Tention on the rope, the mud had such a suction on shorty that the diesel motor on the machine bogged down! and black smoke came out the exhaust pipe! then they could hear his body snapping and joints popping! and when the mud let go with a popping suction! shorty came loose! they swung him over and stood him up by my short friend, and shorty was a foot taller than him! he told this story in about 1975 to me and i still laugh!
😂 😆
That there made me laugh too! Good one.
lol good story.
A good Saturday morning laugh to close out the year. Thank you for another great story.
Thanks so much!
I loved that story lmao it warmed my heart 🙂

That was a good one JD!
😂
That had me in stitches! Lord have mercy that was funny.
Enjoyed again JD
Thanks John!
Well I laughed out loud. Thanks JD
glad you enjoyed it Melissa, hope y'all have a Merry Christmas!
@TheAppalachianStoryteller Merry merry Christmas to you and yours.
Great Story as usual.
Greetings from the Rhine River at the wild Southwest of Germany.
I hope I can one time visit the Appalachian Mountains and hopefully there will be still some real Hillybillies over there.
they still here, you can bet that!
Thank you JT, I really enjoyed this whopper's whopper! As long as there are Appalachian Mountains, there will be hillbillies, Melungeons, half-breeds, rednecks and other 'terms of endearment' that have been used to refer to the mountain folk!
I have traveled to many places and I am very proud to be back in the Eastern Mountains Tennessee, from where my people came!
🇺🇸🙏🏼♥️
Better watch out for those wild Indians
Awesome tales 🇨🇦👍❣️
Thank you Marion!

@@TheAppalachianStoryteller love it. Man went far for a great joke.
And that is an "artistic liar" @@robbie5984
He seems like he was the best of those.
Another larripin' good yarn by a master storyteller. Thanks.
Thank you!
Your stories and work to share them are very much appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you!
Great story
Thank you!
Great one. I get a big smile on my face when I thumb through and see a new story. And the longer the better. Thanks J.D.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support! Hope y'all have a happy new year
I so live your channel! Ive been fallin asleep to them everynight...just to wake up and hit replay!❤❤❤😁
Thank you!
What a great story. Thank you for sharing all your stories with us.I hope to be here in 2024 to hear more stories
Thank you Bessie, many more on the way!
Well that sure was funny JD. Nothing like a little rubbing to inspire a whopper That last prank was epic especially as Amos left without giving Dragon any relief of his anger. I’ll bet he would have planned a fabulous prank if he’d just had the chance. Thanks
IM HERE!😊❤
Hope you enjoy!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I have not been disappointed yet JD..😊🥰
I got a new campfire story to tell. Thanks. I live in a place where they logged extensively. According to local folklore, we coined the terms "hillbilly, ridge runner and stump jumper." For ourselves. When a man couldn't get enough lumberjacks locally, he brought a bunch of guys from Kentucky here to work. When the job was finished, they took the terms back home. Those are all titles of honor here. If you didn't work the woods, you starved.
Those are still words of honor in my neck of the woods.
I knew a stump jumper from Kentucky. His grandmother was born in a foddershock, he said.
@@S.L.O.P. Okay, I'll bite. What's a foddershock?
Omg look at the size of the logs!!
They used to grow huge- before men started harvesting them
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I’ve heard of the terrible Chestnut tree blight back East. Too bad those forests aren’t still around. Sigh
Love this story JD!! I believe it's true!
Thank you Traci!
I greatly appreciate this new episode. Thank you
Thank you!
Draggin Hiram was certainly outdone by the best! Hahahaha!

Great story to end the year with JD.
It reminds me of my father who was such a story teller all of his life that when he died his story telling was the center of his eulogy. Happy New Year to all 🙏
❤️

Old saying, "It's a lot bigger sin to tell a boring story than to tell an exaggerated story."
yup!
Good job, Amos😂😂
He got him good!
That was a good yarn there lol
Thanks Terry!
Oh JD!! That was the best & funniest story I’ve ever heard!! Sometimes you just shouldn’t keep poking at a big sleeping lion! Haha. Oh my word…..that just makes my day! Thanks so much! Blessings always! ❤️✝️
Thank you Betty! Lyin' Amos got 'em good!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Hahaha!! Yes he did! ❤️✝️

😂

😂
🤠😂🤣😎
Hope you have a great New Year my friend.🇺🇸
You too Michael
Happy New Year God bles
Happy new year!
Tall tales are rightly so!
❤️
That was incredible! Great story.. I'm going to have to get a thesaurus if your ability to word Smith progresses much farther. 😂😂. Did I hear Fireball Mail, and Arkansas Traveler? Maybe?? I'm hoping for 50% right. Lol.
Thanks Rusty! The music from this video was "John Henry", "peach cobbler" and "Melody of the Night"
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I'll have to re-watch it.. I was way off.. I felt sure fireball mail was right.. of course there's the possibility that I've been playing it wrong. 🤣🤣
You should do a video of the ghost of Drummond Bridge
ill look into it, thanks!
lol that was something else.
Thank you ❤️
Pretty neat story!😂
Thanks Edward!
Happy New Year Ya'll 🍾🥂
Happy New Year Lana!
Thanks for the story.sounds like a few people i know.😂
Thanks Wayne!
Good one😂
Thank you ❤️
Oh, this is a good one! HAHA!!
Thank you!
Nice one!😮😂
Thank you! Wishing you a happy new year!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller And to you my friend..❤️
Cutting the Yancy side of Grandfather caught my family ear
:)
Just like my military days. Who could tell the biggest lie only we called them war stories.
❤️
That was fun. But ohhh so wrong. 😅
He who drags last… drags the furthest
That lie was a real waste of company time and the men's labor. Amos was leaving (and he finally got revenge). Some people just have to have the last word.
Amos looks like Adam Calhoun
that's a coincidence for sure!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Hahaha maybe? Thanks for another great story Bud!
well he did ask amos to tell them the biggest lie he ever told lol lol
Yup 😂
So Dragon was a bully.
Draggin' Hiram was like most bullies, he could dish it but not take it
Ukraine still smells like a laundry mat to me. 😮
🐸✝️
👍🏼
😂😂😂
😂
@TheAppalachianStoryteller Amos is the man 👌 your story's are brilliant. I've just discovered them and look forward to listening to many more here in Scotland 🏴😁
🤣
😂
Looking at the pictures of these hard working men makes me so mad. No people worked harder than those of Appalachia and yet here they are still some of the poorest people in USA and many not living much better than they did 100 years ago. If wages had kept up with inflation minimum wage would be $23.00. But the wealthy in the country believe in "Keep them poor." In most of Europe wages are $20+ a hour along with full medical, 2-6 weeks paid vacation, free day care, mostly or free college and affordable housing. It's why the 7 of 10 happiest countries are in Europe. US workers are the most productive people on the planet and yet we receive the least compensation for our labor and it'll stay that way until labor stands up and says ENOUGH to the 21st century "Robber Barons."
I'm poor and rather stay that way, working never hurt nobody, thank God fer what ya have and be grateful when it's time He takes ya home brother.
The government putting it nose in wages is why no one wil have the opportunity I did. 30 years ago I started a construction job I knew nothing one of the greatest men I have ever met gave me a job for 5 bucks an hour. I learned every day and work my way up to making good money. If minimum wage would have been $20 an hour, he could have never given me that opportunity t I am grateful for every day.
A y’all liar! 😂
his lyin' was art!
I like your content but you're accent sounds fake that from seventh generation Appalachian
I never know how to respond to comments like this. I mean, its the same accent ive had for 50 years here in Anderson County Tennessee. Can't please everybody all the time, mama used to say.
