Don't forget Summer's friend Rain. She only comes around every now and again and she usually brings out the WORST in Humidity, but she still tempers Summer's behavior for just a little while. Even if that little while is only 10 minutes.
@@nickamalfitano3613 yeah...nobody tells you how bad it is BEFORE you move down 🤣 man, it stormed every👏single👏day in the month of July the year we moved down here. 🙈🙉🙊😆
AC is the only one who allows us to love summer on such a personal level....shes our emotional support who let's us cry on her shoulder in this tornado of a relationship we have with our true soul mate...summer. Unfortunately our relationship with summer is as hot as it is incinerating...your average toxic love story....the fireflies though, and the warm hug of humidity while out fishing for catfish in the middle of the night...it makes it all worth it. We would be lost and without purpose If it weren't for AC. She's absolutely loved, appreciated, and sometimes she's just what we need. Again, the classic love triangle you see in the movies....
Growing up in the south, my dad never seemed to let anything bother him... he'd handle engine failure with no fuss, cutting trees off the house after a hurricane was no prob... When the AC stopped working, though, that man started sweating bullets.
I live in Alabama and live by myself, so I set the rules. I use a ceiling fan or a fan beside my bed (the fan in the bedroom is a must every night for ambient noise). I turn on the AC only for a few hours on some days in the late afternoon, and never is it left on overnight. My light bill thanks me 😂
@@Xdbd1 We live in Georgia. My husband drives a dump truck. If the A/C goes out, he calls for a tow truck. It might as well have a blown engine, cause he's not going to move it!!! LoL!
I grew up in the South when nobody had air conditioning except a few "high rises" - not even my schools had air conditioning. Now I live in the upper Midwest, this January was fun, my furnace went out one evening when the expected low was minus 20 and we had 2 1/2 feet of snow on the ground. Good times but at least we don't have fire ants...or giant roaches...not even very many snakes.
I see summer+humidity as a protective barrier. Let's face it, if it wasn't for them literally everybody would move here for the food. None of us want that.
Here's my comment for the counselor. I hate how summer always comes before it's scheduled, and insist on overstaying. It's welcome in the South. Every time I watch a British program and they talk about summer starting around June 20th, it just makes me want to cry. I've been sweating since early April.
Y'all need to try SWFL, Hurricane Ian kicked Humidity's ass so bad it left, and didn't even come back for fall. Oh and here is our seasons, hot, hotter, and OMG it's Summer (starts in Feb)
@@majorhawker4776 Pretty much all of FL is this gradient, minus the absence of Humidity. It's never not humid in Central FL. After the hurricane downpour and wind, the humidity acts all nice evening out the cooler nights and hot days but slowly it just turns back into a nasty guest, especially if the power went out. Recently moved to North Carolina and it's actually cool in the evenings long after I'd be hating the outside because of constant heat/humidity back in FL. It actually snowed (again, native Floridian) well into spring.
This is one of the funniest of your videos about the south. I remember Tennessee during summer in the 1980s, Summer was all like, "yes, these wasps are the size of helicopters, but check this out, they're using mud to build a wasp house inside of your garage and a whole wasp family is moving in. Have fun!" and then that night, "Oh, you didn't like my wasps? How about we have a thunderstorm that rattles your whole house and makes your dog cry?"
We went 2 years ago to Pigeon forge. In late October and it was still in the low to mid 80s. Very nice nice not a cloud in the sky. But being from pittsburgh that was something else.

Im a Michigander and we look forward to seeing summer each year. But when you're in an abusive relationship with Winter, anything else looks like heaven.
I grew up in the South and spent my career in the military stationed at various Southern bases. I will never forget the first time I visited Virginia, in AUGUST of all times, and it. Was. STUNNING. Cool breezes, everything was lush and green, and the sunrises over the Chesapeake Bay with the dolphins playing was simply mesmerizing. I promptly did what I had to do to make sure I retired in Virginia. Been here over a decade and never looked back 😂😂😂
As a life-long resident of Richmond I request that you send some of that weather up the James River so we can experience this paradise in August you are referring to. 😄
I'm from Alabama. I was up there for a summer camp called WYSE, it had students from all over the states. I remember the Wisconsin kids complaining about how hot it was. It never got over 80 degrees. The camp director would remind us to put on our sunscreen every day because it gets "verry hot in D.C," I almost busted a gut it was 115 degrees back home at the time and 100% humidity.
We are all ready for summer to get the hell out of here whenever fall shows up and hikes her skirt to show us her deer season and bonfires! The ironic thing is, we named the love child “summer sausage.”
Geeze. Summer is still sticking around during archery season in October, and sometimes well into rifle season, which in our zone always opens the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Season of '21/'22, Summer really stuck around in South LA until about the 2nd week of January. Can't tell you how many times I went out for a morning hunt, so warm and humid that it only took about 100 yards of walking for my glasses to start fogging up.
In Phoenix Summer is that crazy person that when they come around you hide in your house until they leave, only sneaking out at night...for three or more months
As a new Englander, I always think I’m fed up with Winter, but then we end up spending beautiful weekend vacation at a cozy ski resort, and I remember why I fell in love with it in the first place ❤
Come down to Louisiana during winter and experience mosquitos, humidity, and the plants not knowing whether to sprout again or lay dormant for a couple of weeks. And this year has been the weirdest of all weather.

Not feeling so bad about waking up to about 40⁰F this morning. New England and Winter do have a bad history (though it seems the last couple of years they've stayed well apart) but we're in spring now and it's lovely. Sorry to brag, but don’t worry; I'll be jealous of you next time I'm shoveling snow.
@@bucketofsunshine6366 We know what weather you get, we will stick with what we know, it may be hot but it doesn't try to freeze us to death and burst our pipes
@@candle86 Ya know, that's fantastic that you offered because my family recently purchased 23 acres about 2 hours due east of Dallas. We will eventually relocate to NE Texas. We've have been traveling back and forth for almost 2 years working on the property. The first summer the heat was brutal like here but it didn't last very long. The second summer it was the same. We would explain to locals but they just couldn't understand how the humidity makes you feel like you are drowning. It's nice taking a shower, stepping outside, having to go right back inside to take another shower...(that was sarcasm about the shower in case it didn't read through my comment).
Northerner here. I love winter. Not toxic, not ironic. I absolutely love winter. I love the cold, the quiet, the invigorating feel of fresh clean air. I love how bright the night sky is. I love how good I sleep. I like my hoodies and hats. I like that you think it's late but it's only 7:30 and there's plenty of time to do something. I like the fact whenever you get too hot you can just step outside for a bit and regulate. I like soups and warm foods. Hockey season is great. Catching up on "we've been meaning to do this" because we don't want to bother unburying the driveway or clearing off the car. Winter is just good. Then winter fades away and we are ready to get outside and garden, hop on our bikes, etc. We've 'reset' and are refreshed.
I hear you, born & raised, & lived in upstate NY till 29yrs old. Ice storms, mounds of snow & cold non stop cold for months is no better than the humidity down here(in FL 10 yrs now). I absolutely do not miss scrapping my windshield & digging out my car in the fridged cold just to get to work, or do anything. To each their own. Nothing wrong with it, I just prefer a couple of months hot over 6 months of cold.
Florida checking in here. We have issues with summer, too. You've heard of guests who just stay and stay and stay and seem impervious to hints that it's time to GO? Well, that's summer. He comes way too soon (mid February) and oftentimes he doesn't leave until late December. I mean, 75°F Christmases are a frequent occurrence. If summer just knew when to LEAVE!
I used to live in Virginia. My first car, which was used and the best I could afford, had leather seats and no air conditioning. Brutal! I think I finally started keeping a towel on the driver’s seat in the summer.
Matt, THANK YOU! I'm deathly allergic to heat anything over 61°F will cause me to go directly to "sun stroke", I'm allergic to sunlight exposure over 2 min where my skin blisters and I've ended up in a burn unit before over a "sun burn" at age 10....however despite being born and bred in Florida with all these environmental health issues I have fought tooth and nail to not leave Florida. I quoted my Grandfather when he said "If ever required to move where would he move? Grandfather's answer: FURTHER SOUTH!"
I feel like New Orleans is actually worse, though, because it's below sea level and that air pressure is no joke when you add in the heat and the humidity. It's like trying to breathe underwater.
This may be the best one you have ever done! But I'm an oddball - as a Southerner, I love Summer. Yes, it's hotter than the hinges of Hades, and I still suffer from my childhood's "burned buns" from the metal slide; my feet still hold a few scars from sand spurs and melting road surface (bare feet, ya know), but this years' extra long chilly late spring, has made me wish for open windows and putting the top down on my car, and sweat rolling down my breastbone. Yeah, that's all weird, I know - but that's me
Florida has the benefit of Thor vacationing in central and southern part of the state from late May to early October. He starts imbuing around daybreak and pretty much bust loose around 4 pm or later every single day.
As a Minnesotan with curly hair…Big T is still a thing. My cousin came up from Texas and after saying “pshhh 95? That’s nothing, I’ll be fine” and then proceeded to need A/C and water after walking around for like, 20 minutes because she’s used to dry heat.
I once visited Alabama in the summer. I am a native of Arizona so the heat wasn't so bad, but I did make one big MISTAKE. I parked my rental car under a TREE. When I came back it had several pounds of bird shit on it. These shits were massive. The bird must have been at least 6 feet tall.
I am a born and raised NY girl (upstate, not the city) but have called the South home for almost 30 years. I love it for 3/4 of the year…but I have a similar love/hate relationship with Summer. I tend to do my indoor projects and hibernate in the Summer…but I wouldn’t trade the place, the people or the food for living up North. The South is now my home!!
Up in the Pacific Northwest summer is technically les humid but still causes a LOT of wildfires spring, which often fluctuates between winter and summer weather But fall is the real trickster often goes from winter weather in the early morning and summer weather in the late afternoon in the beginning
As an Iowan with relatives in Minnesota and living almost on the Wisconsin border, trust me when I say that humidity is ever present. We live by the Great Lakes and have two large rivers on our borders. If the air isn't thick and practically unbreathable in summer, that is when we go outside to enjoy not dying. But yeah, he's right when he says most here like summer because winter is so crappy. Lesser of two evils and all that is the game.
Hey neighbor, Can confirm👍 Don't forget to mention that breeze is often a no,show due to the height of the corn.😒 Winter is simply a skill set based primarily on preparation, acclimation & determination.😏 ~ Signed ~ A FIB from just south of the Cheddar curtain. (Translation if needed: Illinois near the Wisconsin border)
@@1ListerofSmeg Ive lived in a few regions of Iowa. Can confirm lack of wind. In NE Iowa by the wisconsin border you have limestone bluffs and can get sticky humid hot winds going fast though. Almost worse at times
In the western side of Iowa, it is so flat with our fields that it is a common occurrence to have wind. All throughout the year. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, all of them. And sometimes it's upwards of +20mph with 40-50 Gusts. Not a lot of large bodies of water where im at, but it still gets humid because of corn sweat. I'm a Summer guy, 100%. Can't stand Winter.
Interesting, I am a born & raised Minnesotan still living in Minnesota. I LOVE WINTER AND HATE SUMMER!!! Ideally if I had the Money to do so I would move to Alaska or Wyoming or Montana into the Mountains where the Snow & Cold will be even stronger.
After living in Texas for 8 years, I'm fine with Summer showing up for a few weeks in the Rockies. i get so much more quality time with Spring, Autumn, and Winter. It's a much healthier relationship when we can spend time apart.
@@GAslim - It is, quite literally nosebleed central even with humidifiers all over the house. As to seasons, well, I lived near Boulder for four years eons ago and I remember we could get 70 degree days in the dead of winter with 2-3 feet of snow on the ground. As bizarre and hilarious as that sounds, the problem was it would freeze again that night and all the runoff from the snow melting all day would become thick, nasty ice. x.x During actual summer, it was pretty common to see rain clouds not even be able to rain all the way to the ground because it just dries up on the way down. Looks like the bottom just kinda falls out of the cloud.
As someone from Southern Nevada this is truth. Summer starts creeping in the beginning of May and hangs about until Halloween. Our heat is a convection oven, I think the humidity would push me over the edge. Stay hydrated my friends.
I do quite enjoy getting to spend time in my local lake. It’s quite nice. I might have to risk another heatstroke to get there, but the lake is genuinely amazing and a great place to swim. It actually is so popular for swimming that the demand for swimming pools is lower in my city than it would be without the lake.
Well lakes are fine till its 100+ for multiple weeks and the lake temperature rises to like 95, where suddenly its dangerous to swim in because bacteria starts to thrive.
Matt, I love your videos. HILARIOUS!! Especially if you’re from the South (and despite often being left out of your videos, Oklahoma is part of the south…shame on you, lol) you totally get this humor.
Awesome video Matt. I think Summer and Spring had a falling out Herr where I live in East Tennessee. It seems lately that it's spring for a good day ot two then it's just hot. Spring must be leaving the room every time Summer pops his head in.
" ...those people up there." LMAO!!! My neighbor is a transplant from Minnesota...MINNA SODA! After her being here for three years now, I am still translating for her! LOL!
After the storm, I went up north, they complained about one 70 degree day with no humidity. They thought they were dying and then I explained Louisiana summer and went quiet.
I remember being greeted by Humidity when I stepped off the plane after my first tour in Afghanistan; just run up and hugged up all on me like "I missed you so muuuch!" To be honest it was nice seeing him again, but he got clingy and always kept trying to give me this wet wool overcoat to wear. I had to break off our relationship, and move in the end.
Living in southern Ohio, I note that in the Gulf South the average summer high is 6-7 degrees warmer, while the average winter temperature is 14-15 degrees warmer. I lived in South Carolina in the 1980s and southern Mississippi in the 1990s. I prefer Big T to minus 3.
Fall is my fav season in the South. All 14 days of it….and those 14 days are not consecutive. They are mixed in heavily with full blown summer days…but still.
Sitting in an 82 degree apartment in Maryland, aka the Little South, feeling this. It's 62 outside but I can't open a window because it'll just be 82 **and** 80% humidity in here.
Here in Northern New York (that's above Upstate New York & as far away from NYC as you can get & not be in Canada), usually it's nine months of hockey and three months of bad ice. But if Summer comes on a Sunday we all go on a picnic!
This video was perfectly timed. Aaron's San Antonio, it's over 80% humidity and it's supposed to get into the mid-90s today. And that's without the sun making a guest appearance
I’m Georgian and this is 100% accurate. And we’ve had a VERY mild year. I was still wearing long sleeve shirts in June. August got a bit smarmy but all in all, Summer…it’s been a good year.

It's nice taking a shower, stepping outside, having to go right back inside to take another shower...(that was sarcasm about the shower in case it didn't read through my comment).
Northerner here. I love winter. Not toxic, not ironic. I absolutely love winter. I love the cold, the quiet, the invigorating feel of fresh clean air. I love how bright the night sky is. I love how good I sleep. I like my hoodies and hats. I like that you think it's late but it's only 7:30 and there's plenty of time to do something. I like the fact whenever you get too hot you can just step outside for a bit and regulate. I like soups and warm foods. Hockey season is great. Catching up on "we've been meaning to do this" because we don't want to bother unburying the driveway or clearing off the car.
Winter is just good. Then winter fades away and we are ready to get outside and garden, hop on our bikes, etc. We've 'reset' and are refreshed.
I hear you, born & raised, & lived in upstate NY till 29yrs old. Ice storms, mounds of snow & cold non stop cold for months is no better than the humidity down here(in FL 10 yrs now). I absolutely do not miss scrapping my windshield & digging out my car in the fridged cold just to get to work, or do anything. To each their own. Nothing wrong with it, I just prefer a couple of months hot over 6 months of cold.
Same. I open window all winter. Day and night
Mmm! Crispy air!
Love it.
Summer? Ugh!
@Monk...where are you? Colorado, Wisconsin, Kentucky?
@@ImNotaRussianBot i agree! Window always open
Very well spoken, in Phoenix and missing winter and seasons from back home!
The 4 seasons in the south:
Almost summer
Summer
Still summer
Christmas
I currently live in Central Florida. We live with Summer for 9 months out of the year (often more). Everything said in this skit is TRUE!!!
Florida checking in here. We have issues with summer, too. You've heard of guests who just stay and stay and stay and seem impervious to hints that it's time to GO? Well, that's summer. He comes way too soon (mid February) and oftentimes he doesn't leave until late December. I mean, 75°F Christmases are a frequent occurrence. If summer just knew when to LEAVE!
I'm boutta cry this is so accurate it hurts almost as much as sitting on a pleather car seat on a July afternoon without long pants!
Oh, no no no. Who does that? I'm so sorry for your legs.
Pleather cushions. Probably black, too. That's a rookie mistake.
A BLACK pleather car seat, ROFL
I used to live in Virginia. My first car, which was used and the best I could afford, had leather seats and no air conditioning. Brutal! I think I finally started keeping a towel on the driver’s seat in the summer.
If we ever need to elect a spokesperson for the South, vote Matt Mitchell 🗳️😂 He's not only spot on but hilarious!
Only if Barry McGuthrie gets to represent South Carolina. IYKYK
Matt,
THANK YOU!
I'm deathly allergic to heat anything over 61°F will cause me to go directly to "sun stroke", I'm allergic to sunlight exposure over 2 min where my skin blisters and I've ended up in a burn unit before over a "sun burn" at age 10....however despite being born and bred in Florida with all these environmental health issues I have fought tooth and nail to not leave Florida. I quoted my Grandfather when he said "If ever required to move where would he move? Grandfather's answer: FURTHER SOUTH!"
This is a super well written sketch! Good job!
Totally agree
Matt, you never disappoint. I’m in Florida, the humidity capital of the south next to New Orleans. 😉
I feel like New Orleans is actually worse, though, because it's below sea level and that air pressure is no joke when you add in the heat and the humidity. It's like trying to breathe underwater.
This may be the best one you have ever done! But I'm an oddball - as a Southerner, I love Summer. Yes, it's hotter than the hinges of Hades, and I still suffer from my childhood's "burned buns" from the metal slide; my feet still hold a few scars from sand spurs and melting road surface (bare feet, ya know), but this years' extra long chilly late spring, has made me wish for open windows and putting the top down on my car, and sweat rolling down my breastbone. Yeah, that's all weird, I know - but that's me
I'm crying 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is absolutely true and 100% accurate
Florida has the benefit of Thor vacationing in central and southern part of the state from late May to early October. He starts imbuing around daybreak and pretty much bust loose around 4 pm or later every single day.
I love how well u capture the southern experience 😂😂😂
As a Minnesotan with curly hair…Big T is still a thing. My cousin came up from Texas and after saying “pshhh 95? That’s nothing, I’ll be fine” and then proceeded to need A/C and water after walking around for like, 20 minutes because she’s used to dry heat.
Dry heat? In Texas???🤔🤔🤔
I once visited Alabama in the summer. I am a native of Arizona so the heat wasn't so bad, but I did make one big MISTAKE. I parked my rental car under a TREE. When I came back it had several pounds of bird shit on it. These shits were massive. The bird must have been at least 6 feet tall.
Everything battles for shade down here
I am a born and raised NY girl (upstate, not the city) but have called the South home for almost 30 years. I love it for 3/4 of the year…but I have a similar love/hate relationship with Summer. I tend to do my indoor projects and hibernate in the Summer…but I wouldn’t trade the place, the people or the food for living up North. The South is now my home!!
Same, girl. Love it here. I'd rather deal with a southern summer than a northern winter.
Up in the Pacific Northwest summer is technically les humid but still causes a LOT of wildfires
spring, which often fluctuates between winter and summer weather
But fall is the real trickster often goes from winter weather in the early morning and summer weather in the late afternoon in the beginning
As an Iowan with relatives in Minnesota and living almost on the Wisconsin border, trust me when I say that humidity is ever present. We live by the Great Lakes and have two large rivers on our borders. If the air isn't thick and practically unbreathable in summer, that is when we go outside to enjoy not dying. But yeah, he's right when he says most here like summer because winter is so crappy. Lesser of two evils and all that is the game.
Hey neighbor, Can confirm👍
Don't forget to mention that breeze is often a no,show due to the height of the corn.😒
Winter is simply a skill set based primarily on preparation, acclimation & determination.😏

@@1ListerofSmeg Ive lived in a few regions of Iowa. Can confirm lack of wind. In NE Iowa by the wisconsin border you have limestone bluffs and can get sticky humid hot winds going fast though. Almost worse at times
In the western side of Iowa, it is so flat with our fields that it is a common occurrence to have wind. All throughout the year. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, all of them. And sometimes it's upwards of +20mph with 40-50 Gusts.
Not a lot of large bodies of water where im at, but it still gets humid because of corn sweat.
I'm a Summer guy, 100%. Can't stand Winter.
Interesting, I am a born & raised Minnesotan still living in Minnesota.
I LOVE WINTER AND HATE SUMMER!!! Ideally if I had the Money to do so I would move to Alaska or Wyoming or Montana into the Mountains where the Snow & Cold will be even stronger.
@@morrigankasa570same, if I go outside my skin literally starts hurting
After spending some time outdoors today this is so fitting and we are still in Spring. 🥺 Love you, Matt! ❤
How could you not mention our good friend, Mr. Air Conditioning?
It just wouldn’t be the same without him.
Grandpa said it ruined humanity
There are times when I am very uneasy with the character flaws you so accurately identify about my life...
lol
As a roofer down here, can confirm Summer has tried to kill me on multiple occasions. Last year was really rough for us.
Love it Matt…very funny and creative!👍😎
After living in Texas for 8 years, I'm fine with Summer showing up for a few weeks in the Rockies. i get so much more quality time with Spring, Autumn, and Winter. It's a much healthier relationship when we can spend time apart.
Thinking of moving there myself. Awful dry though
@@GAslim - It is, quite literally nosebleed central even with humidifiers all over the house. As to seasons, well, I lived near Boulder for four years eons ago and I remember we could get 70 degree days in the dead of winter with 2-3 feet of snow on the ground. As bizarre and hilarious as that sounds, the problem was it would freeze again that night and all the runoff from the snow melting all day would become thick, nasty ice. x.x
During actual summer, it was pretty common to see rain clouds not even be able to rain all the way to the ground because it just dries up on the way down. Looks like the bottom just kinda falls out of the cloud.
Pure genius. Your jokes, the timing, all of it. You always crack me up. 😂
“He is a hugger”😂😂😂
I think this is your best one yet. I literally almost spit my drink out!
As someone from Southern Nevada this is truth. Summer starts creeping in the beginning of May and hangs about until Halloween. Our heat is a convection oven, I think the humidity would push me over the edge. Stay hydrated my friends.
I do quite enjoy getting to spend time in my local lake. It’s quite nice. I might have to risk another heatstroke to get there, but the lake is genuinely amazing and a great place to swim. It actually is so popular for swimming that the demand for swimming pools is lower in my city than it would be without the lake.
Well lakes are fine till its 100+ for multiple weeks and the lake temperature rises to like 95, where suddenly its dangerous to swim in because bacteria starts to thrive.
Gators….. snakes… brain eating amoeba 🤦🏽♀️
@@Macsrus5 I’m too far north for gators. Snakes are way more afraid of me than I am of them. Brain eating amoeba is something I’m willing to risk.
@@marthahawkinson-michau9611 In the south, the flesh eating is always in the back of our mind… lots of gators and snakes😊
@@Macsrus5 I’m in central Arkansas. It’s still south, but just far enough north for the gators to freeze in the winter.
Speaking as a Midwest girl, Winter does treat us terribly, and I can't wait to see Summer again
Now I want to see a video where the south and Midwest meet. Heck, all regions should show up to the party.
88% humidity today here in Texas. I don't even need a water bottle. Take a breath, thirst quenched.
Matt, I love your videos. HILARIOUS!! Especially if you’re from the South (and despite often being left out of your videos, Oklahoma is part of the south…shame on you, lol) you totally get this humor.
I am stealing the "Hemoglobin Aficionados".
The only thing getting me through Southern summer is knowing college football season is after it.
Amen.
Go Dawgs
And the fact that summers in Florida is literally hell but it gives us less snowbirds and amazing naps from thunderstorms
Summer is so indecisive….like, it gets back off of vacation, but never decides to stay until June rolls around! Matt is the man!
Matt, a video about kudzu and the South would be hilarious. (Do folks outside the Southeast know what it is?)
@@paulamartin6724 😂
Awesome video Matt. I think Summer and Spring had a falling out Herr where I live in East Tennessee. It seems lately that it's spring for a good day ot two then it's just hot.
Spring must be leaving the room every time Summer pops his head in.
Spring ran away with the Easter Bunny this year.
Oh my God this is one of the best ones you’ve done in a while
This is really creative content, as is normal for this channel. It's great!
Now all those repressed memories of my first marriage are crashing in. Hey Summer, I still hate your guts.
Here in the Midwest, spring has been flaky as hell. Didn’t even bother to show up this year.
Air Conditioning is my BEST FRIEND during summer. She makes life worth living.
That’s my impression of (upper Midwest), it’s a breeze but it’s a hurricane, great snippets
Wow Matt, another home run! You have to be leading the league in homers. (See what I did there with baseball and summer?)🤣
Go Braves
Rhode Islander here, I thought our summers were tough UNTIL my sister moved to Louisiana.....😢😢.
I've lived in Arkansas, Texas, and South Carolina. Never felt humidity remotely as bad as it gets in the Midwest, my home.
1:09 Mosquitos are "hemoglobin aficionados" 😆😆😆
" ...those people up there." LMAO!!! My neighbor is a transplant from Minnesota...MINNA SODA! After her being here for three years now, I am still translating for her! LOL!
lived in the south my entire 43 years. I LOOOOVE summer. Winter on the other hand, that's a hate-hate relationship!
After the storm, I went up north, they complained about one 70 degree day with no humidity. They thought they were dying and then I explained Louisiana summer and went quiet.
Just discovered this channel and it is an absolute gem. You are so talented!
“He is a hugger.” 🤣
At least we had a beautiful spring cool spring without busting @ss right into summer this year.. Be thankful for everything the Lord gives us.
Your content is outstanding sir. I can't get enough. You, Ryan George and Julie Nolke are all superb. =)
I remember being greeted by Humidity when I stepped off the plane after my first tour in Afghanistan; just run up and hugged up all on me like "I missed you so muuuch!" To be honest it was nice seeing him again, but he got clingy and always kept trying to give me this wet wool overcoat to wear. I had to break off our relationship, and move in the end.
Sun brewed sweet tea
This summer in Mobile county Alabama had been rough... this is spot on!!
This is too funny AND too accurate!😂 I still love summer though. 😊
As a Wisconsinite, I approve of your northern accent. I have said, "we need to crack some Leinie's out on da lake."
Being from South Carolina, I definitely concur about the toxicity.
Living in southern Ohio, I note that in the Gulf South the average summer high is 6-7 degrees warmer, while the average winter temperature is 14-15 degrees warmer. I lived in South Carolina in the 1980s and southern Mississippi in the 1990s. I prefer Big T to minus 3.
"Hemoglobin afficionados" 😂. Oh shit! I'm deeeed laughing 😅.
Some great work Matt! Loved it!
Fall is my fav season in the South. All 14 days of it….and those 14 days are not consecutive. They are mixed in heavily with full blown summer days…but still.
Sitting in an 82 degree apartment in Maryland, aka the Little South, feeling this. It's 62 outside but I can't open a window because it'll just be 82 **and** 80% humidity in here.
Here in Northern New York (that's above Upstate New York & as far away from NYC as you can get & not be in Canada), usually it's nine months of hockey and three months of bad ice. But if Summer comes on a Sunday we all go on a picnic!
This video was perfectly timed. Aaron's San Antonio, it's over 80% humidity and it's supposed to get into the mid-90s today. And that's without the sun making a guest appearance
I’m Georgian and this is 100% accurate. And we’ve had a VERY mild year. I was still wearing long sleeve shirts in June. August got a bit smarmy but all in all, Summer…it’s been a good year.
Matt, this is comedic genius brother. Fucking genius.
Oh wow! It's only 79° outside at 2 in the afternoon! And it's dark... and there's a tornado... damn it.
Where is the outrageously LOVE button? This may be my favorite of your videos yet.
Growing up in TN, all of this is accurate. Having conducted my fair share of couples therapy with toxic relationships, this is also accurate.
As a born and raised Floridian, this is accurate.
Matt must have quite the collection of Tshirts. 😂 video!

The South turns into Michael Jackson when Summer comes. Lol. Love that.
HOLD UP.
Hemaglobin Afficianados???

As a florida resident, I resemble this sketch.
