    You have such dignity and a warm heart, Tipper. I, and I’m sure thousands of other viewers, appreciate that you set aside those mean comments and don’t make them the focus of your videos. Probably 99.9% of all your viewers truly have great affection for you and your family and have come to appreciate Appalachia because of your RUclips channel.
    So many people have grown up in circumstances that are very different from what your family life was and is like. Your inheritance of deep Christian values speaks volumes about the impact influences within a childhood home can have on generations. You and Matt’s little grandsons are blessed to be born into a Christian family who.will be taking them to Sunday School and church and setting a Christlike example in their ordinary daily lives. I think everyone of you are ministers of God’s love by what you share on RUclips.

    Don’t listen to those people, honey. My Mamaw would say that your spirit irritates their “demons.” That says way more about them than it does you. You won’t ever see a hater doing better than the person they hate and they are just jealous. I look forward to your videos and I often rewatch them. My family is from Southern Appalachia but so many people from all over the country have moved into our area. I enjoy meeting people from different places, but seems like they look down on us locals. You and your family are helping to keep our culture alive, and we love y’all for it.

You can imagine the teasing my Mom took. My oh my she got a job working for the yellow pages of Michigan Bell Telephone Co. That MS accent turned out to be an asset. She worked in customer service.That southern drawl and hospitality turned angry irate attitudes. Your sweet mountain accent is much the same,I appreciate your vocabulary tests and sweet family.

    Tipper, I have two things to say here. I'm watching this video while up in the mountains of West Virginia. I've been thinking about your vocabulary lessons all day while I interact with the local folks. The accent is definitely different than yours, but I have an ear for southern accents, and I love them all. The second thing I want to say is, please don't ever be embarrassed by the way you talk or let anyone even attempt to cause you hurt. Even though you are in North Carolina, you sound so much like Tennessee, and that reminds me of my home and my kin, who have long left this earth. I'd listen to you read the phone book. Sending you blessings.

Matt is looking more and more natural on camera with each video too. You explain how you integrate your RUclips job into your everyday lives and its just how I imagined it to be.

    The amount of time I use your name in a day is growing. I just shared your biscuit recipe with my cousin who was going to see her granddaughter and she wanted to make biscuits and gravy in the morning. I told her to use Tipper's recipe...like she was supposed to know who Tipper was. I think I mentioned you again to her about the garden. You are such a huge part of my life that I feel like we are friends. ( I know that seems weird.) I do believe we would be friends if we were closer. God brings people into your life for a reason. I remember the first video I ever watched and it was the girls giving the definition of words. I didn't know they were twins at the time though. It was so funny. I just love your family! God bless!!

    Tipper, you are very blessed to have been born, raised and living in an area where you are around your family and friends. I was born in eastern Ky but was raised up north. Even though I had uncles, aunts and cousins (dads family ) living around us I feel I missed so much by not living where I was born. That's one of the reasons I enjoy watching your videos. I also have family in Berea, Ky. I think you said you have been there. This is my dad's side. Their accent is slower than yours, but they used a lot of the same words as you. Mom's side in eastern Ky (Letcher Co where I was born) they speak very slow and also use about the same words as you. I think you would find these areas interesting to compare.

I am old fashioned in a lot of ways, it is so sad what has happened to our country, and when I watch your videos I just get lost in them because y'all are what I think a family should be. Yall are so real and you remind me of my childhood and my grand parents. I love to watch y'all and Corie and Katie. Thank you so much for letting everyone get a glimpse of goodness and love.

I just love Celebrating Appalachia and everything it’s about. It takes me back to the old days and living with my grandmother and grandma whipping up Johnny cake in the kitchen.

Today, I was at work & me and my co-worker were talking about something (I can't remember what now) and I was about to repeat something that you had said in a video - "Tipper said..." almost like you were a good friend or family member! That is the gift that you give to others. By sharing your history - life, language, family, work, etc. with others, we feel like we're right there with you, in your kitchen or the garden, drinking a glass of sweet tea and listening about your Appalachian recipes, language, customs.

    Tipper, I could not find an email address for you, but I’m determined to get this hominy casserole recipe to you, because you said you love hominy. So do I! This recipe is so good. Here ya go:
    Jolley Christmas Hominy Casserole
    • 2 15.5 oz cans yellow hominy, drained
    • 1 4 oz. jar diced pimentos, drained
    • ½ cup sour cream.
    • Caution: too much sour cream will make it runny
    • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
    • Note: sharp cheddar preferred.
    • 1 whole jalapeno pepper per can of hominy, seeded and finely chopped.
    • Adjust jalapeno to taste.
    • Spray 7" x 9" Pyrex casserole dish with a thin coating of PAM.
    • Pre-heat oven to 350°
    Instructions
    Fold all ingredients together in mixing bowl.
    Caution: do not over-mix. Consistency should be soft but clay-like---more dense than that of a cake mix so ingredients clump together.
    Spoon mixture into the Pyrex dish and smooth the top.
    Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar on top to form a cheesy icing when baked.
    Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly on top. Remove from oven.
    Rest. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes, and serve.
    Enjoy! Guaranteed, no left-overs!

    Oh Tipper I believe God opened this door for you to bless your family first and then to bless the rest of us by showing us how to be happy with who we are in God’s beautiful world. You are so very special to me for certain. Thank you for being you.

    Hi Tipper! ❤ I am excited this is my first comment on your channel. 🥳 Yet I’m sad to share that I just found your channel this week. Gosh, what a better life I would have had if I could’ve found you sooner…as in years ago! 😁 I know why I found you this week - because life is synchronous. Recently I prayed to God to teach me about authenticity, and bring someone into my life who is an example of authenticity. This week he showed me you. What a truly priceless blessing. Monday, June 3, 2024. The day God introduced me to Tipper. 🥰 I texted my sister Kellie on Tuesday and said, “I was awake until 5:20 a.m. last night watching RUclips videos on a channel I just found, because I asked God to teach me about being authentic and he sent me to Appalachia…who knew!” God knew.

    I enjoyed this video and you allowing us to get to know you on a more personal level….not that I want to know all your personal life-just an overview of who you are. Also, I tried and I can’t even say okra the way you were told is correct…it’s okree for me as well.
    It’s great to hear you thank God for your living while being with your family and not taking it for granted. I know it’s a lot of work….sometimes I hate to comment because I know you try to read them, but at the same time I know it helps push the channel out to others.

    It can be hurtful to read nasty things in the comments on a video, and I'm sorry that a channel as wonderful as yours hears them!
    When our videos have gotten nasty comments our mama tells us to reply with kindness, as the Scripture says about heaping coals on the head of your enemy. Most times people don't reply after that or they remove their nasty comment. God's ways are the best ways 😊
    God be with you,

    Goodness me - I understand everything you say and I’m Australian! I love your dialect and enjoy hearing some of the differences as well as the similarities to my dialect (because a lot of Australians have Scottish/Irish ancestry as well). When watching your channel, I have often discovered answers to questions I formed years ago e.g. I read about red eye gravy and wondered about the name but it was only when I watched you make it that I realised it involved coffee!!!

    Some of my ancestors came West from Grayson County, Virginia two generations ago. In so many of your videos I see glimmers and glimpses of the traditions they brought with them. Perhaps part of it is your Faith, but I believe it is also the closeness of family. We all adopt cultures and habits that make us a community-intertwined hearts with common purpose. Whether you say “okri” instead of okra, or p’rit near as many of us say out West, we are all special and dear.

    This was a wonderful video Tipper. I love that your down to earth. It’s nice because most people that grow up somewhere they get tired of where they have lived for years and move to try a new life somewhere else. We moved from California to Arizona 3 yrs ago. Our part in Arizona is not green and pretty like where you live. By the way, I bought the Outshine bars and my favorite is watermelon, my least favorite is lemon. In fact one time I was eating my bar the same time you and Matt were eating yours, that was too funny. Well Tipper, your a Joy and a BLESSING to watch. God Bless, Tori from Kingman Arizona 🌵

Loved it and the way you talk sounded like those folk. So your accent is why I watch your videos. Love to listen to you. I don’t miss very many. Just keep doing what you are doing. 💜💜

    Thank you, so much, for all the advice you're sharing for newbie creators like me. I, too, feel like I have a very blessed life and have knowledge and skills that I want to share. Making RUclips videos seems pretty natural to me after having retired from teaching elementary school a year ago. My videos are always of things that I'm planning on doing anyway and I just bring my viewers along hoping it may help them in some way. Most of the channels that I subscribe to are very similar to this, including yours. I enjoy watching how others garden, cook, preserve, and live their daily lives. That is why I enjoy your channel, too. it's kind of like keeping in touch with a friend. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
