It's not working, cool. So I don't know what this is gunna sound like, it's back to the old days! Brand new, not working, cool. No complaints please. No complaints. Okay, we're not gunna claim ownership of this, we found it online on dumblaws.com. Well we thought, obviously everywhere in the world there's stupid laws so we're like well why don't we just try to have a look, you know, if there's any dumb laws in Texas, we'll just do a few different ones. I've spoken about one of my personal favourites from London before, which was a pregnant woman is allowed to pee inside a policemans hat if she needs to pee. And apparently it's still a law. It's so weird. Can't wait to be preggy and pee in a hat! I wonder if someone's put it into practice. Oh yeah I bet. Sorry, sorry, give me your hat! I think it's because the hats used to be tin. Not tin, but like, hard hats and now they're just like... I think they still are, they still wear the hats like that. Yeah but not as heavy as they used to be, like policeman now - alright how many years have you been around?! "Not like they used to be", I sound like a 60 year old woman. Okay, let's crack on with some Texan laws that are a bit stupid. First law: it is illegal to sell ones eye. That's so random. But why just eye, surely it should be illegal to sell your body parts. You can sell your teeth, you can sell your ear lobes, but not your eye. What about both eyes? Coz it says 'ones eye', it doesn't say it's illegal to see 'ones eyeS'. Oh yeah, it says ones eye. So it's like, doing a dodgy deal. You can sell both, but don't sell one. Yeah don't come to me with one eye mate, like what are you doing? That's ridiculous and who would buy an eye? Yeah, I don't know. It's a bit like the kid in Stranger Things, no, not Stranger Things, did you watch The End of the F***ing World on Netflix? Because he collects all those weird things in the shed. Yeah he'd definitely just have like an eye. American families, I know what you collect! I'm kidding. So another one is "One must acknowledge a supreme being before being able to hold public office" so basically if you're going to hold public office, if you're gunna be on the council or a mayor, then you've got to acknowledge God and say that you believe in God. Which doesn't surprise me, coz Texas is like very Christian-y isn't it. Oh wow. Just to get a place, just to get a job, you've gotta be like I'm sorry if I don't, I believe. So even if they don't they've gotta say that they do. Gotta pretend. Oh that's so dumb. I think that's silly you can just be who you wanna be, just believe whatever you wanna believe and you should still be able to be a sheriff, if that's what the job title is! If you dream of being a sheriff and you're not, you should be allowed to not be one. Have we got any sheriffs watching? Yeah! I'd love to know a sheriff in real life. I've always wanted to meet a sheriff. My name's Lia, I love cooking omelettes and I'd love to make an omelette for a sheriff. and I'd love to meet, a sheriff. it's such a weird fact. Erm, I've always wanted to know a sheriff. Always put me red lipstick on and give one a big kiss on the lips. Why am I chatting... funny stuff. Why's your book upside down? That one? That hat? The Lia book is upside down. Lia book...? The book that says 'Lia'. It says Lia on it?? Oh my gosh, did you not know? No. Are you joking? That's the whole point, why did you think the pages are folded? Oh, I just thought she did a nice art thing. I've literally never seen .... How did you not see that? I just thought, 'oh it's sweet of her to like fold it into a thing' I'm not joking. Show the camera. This is a book that a viewer gave Lia, where she's folded the pages. You did it on your Insta story and I was like that's amazing, but you didn't even see the Lia? No I just went "Oh I've had this really nice gift". Did not see the Lia until right now. Coz it was upside down on your shelf. Yeah I just put it on my shelf, I was like that's such a cool like art piece... I had no idea. This is what I have to work with. Joel, if that's your biggest problem then you're lucky, so shut up. Sorry you think you've got problems? My business partner doesn't even know her names spelled in a book. Okay she can't see an illusion, get over it! SO sweet! So sweet! A sheriff would never do that for me. That was from a lovely viewer from Sweden. Who's not a sheriff. Thank you Joel, I'll put it back correctly. I just wanna be in your brain sometimes, and just know why you thought a fan gave you a folded book, you must have just been like why is it folded? Yeah exactly, I was like aww so sweet but like... so funny! No that's really cool, I was really jealous when I saw it coz I've seen those online, people pay a lot of money for those on Etsy. Oh wow. Like to have their name spelled, coz people know how to fold it. And I really wanted one, but clearly the viewer just likes Lia and not me. But anyway, ONWARDS! Dumb laws in Texas! Sorry guys, he's dealing with his own stuff. If you're enjoying this video don't forget to click subscribe and the notification bell so that you know when we're uploading videos. You can be the first one to watch them. And the poll for today is do you think these laws are real or are they just having us on? Like, let us know in the poll above Lia's head. It is illegal to milk another persons cow. Oh my gosh, that's so funny. Imagine that scene, Stop milking my cow! That's ridiculous, when did that come into law? And why is it still a law? I think it's coz cows are like peoples bread and butter. Oh it's their property. These are my cows, I make money off of these guys, don't you dare milk my cow. What if it's to stop pickpockets, but they're like pick-teats, pick-udders, and they like to squeeze it into their mouth and run off and you're like that is illegal. Just need a drink. Just need a little squirt. eww that's gross! That's so rank. But Lia's dairy-free so, you would never do that. Oh I would never milk another persons cow. Only just if the cow wanted it. It sounds like a euphemism, milk another persons cow. It sounds like I would never sleep with your wife. I would never milk your cow. Hey, do you wanna come milk my cow. I've got a lot of respect for you Joel, I would never milk your cow. Oh thanks so much. But actually this maybe makes sense because Texas are big on cows aren't they! They like cattle herding, the cowboys, they catch the cows. Oh yeah, they're big on cows they are. So that makes sense! This cow is our cow, don't go near it and don't even think about touching it's tits. Literally. Don't even think about it. Don't give the tits a squeeze. Okay this is weird, it can't be true, but it's on dumblaws.com so maybe it is. It says that a recently passed anti-crime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime that is to be committed. What? How can they even enforce that? What? I don't - say it to me in English. So they require criminals, they're like, look if you're gunna commit a crime, before you do that you need to give you victim 24 hours notice to tell them why you're about to do that to them. You're kidding! So if I wanted to burgle you, I'd have to be like hi Lia just so you know I am gunna burgle your house and the reason I'm gunna do it is because I really like your computer so I really want to take that for myself. No criminals are gunna do that! I would've loved 24 hours notice in Paris, I wouldn't have gone. I would've not made the journey. Hi Lia, just so you know, you're gunna be in a hotel lobby, I'm gunna steal everything from you, so just watch out. So does that mean if they report it to the victim before they're about to do it that it's not illegal? Coz what's the incentive to say that. Yeah, so they could be like, he stole my cow. and He'd be like no I'm not going to prison coz I wrote you an email yesterday saying I was gunna do it and you didn't stop it from happening so.... you'd have to write an email back saying okay if you're gunna attempt to do that, just so you know, I'll be standing by with a gun. No wonder they all want guns in Texas. I would want one. Where the criminals are literally saying hey I'm coming, watch out! The next one is the entire Encyclopedia Britannica, is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home. So is it illegal to make beer at home in Texas? I think it stops them from going out and buying it. This is just all assumptions. This just reminds me on The Simpsons where they made their own beer in a bath tub. And they were like mixing it. What do they call it? Not Moonshine, that's something else.... Moonshines like super strong spirit I believe, then I've got that completely wrong. Bootleg? Is that what it is? I dunno but you felt like it dropped in. I'm just making stuff up. Bootleg in a bath. So our Encyclopedia, we think that's our encyclopedia, we're not sure, Britannica, sounds like us is banned in Texas so, anyone got one? Do you want us to send you one? We can send you one. We'll break the law, but we're not American citizens so we can break the law. Yeah we'll break some laws for you and then you guys need to write a letter saying "Joel & Lia are gunna send me this thing which is illegal so don't even try" You could do it orally though so we've done it orally. We've done an oral... we're about to commit a crime. Let's stop there. So the next law is, when two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing each shall come to a full stop and neither shall proceed until the other is gone. That just means no train is gunna go anywhere. Right, so they get there to where trains cross and it's breaking the law if one of them goes. So how do they make the decision? They stop and get out and have a chat. That's really backwards, they should just have made an agreement 24 hours before, orally saying like look I'll go first. But do you know what, I don't wanna be responsible for any lives so.... don't take my word for it. How do you think it would be if we were responsible for laws in Texas? I think we could make Texas even better than it is right now. Well what would you do? Well firstly I'd take away lots of these laws, we'd be really fun law makers. Oh yeah like burgers on a sunday only. And then I'd do some unpopular ones as well because I quite like to be a bit controversial, so I'd be like vegetarian Tuesdays where it's illegal to eat meat on a certain day of the week, just to reduce everyone's meat consumption. That's fantastic, saving the planet and saving Texas. Vote for Joel Wood. Let us know why you think of my laws. It's illegal to take more than 3 sips of beer at a time while standing. It basically means you can't drink at the bar if you're stood up, like go and find a seat hun. Coz maybe like once you've had 3 sips of beer, you're gunna get drunk so sit down. really? Maybe? I mean that would be the same for us because we're lightweights, 3 sips of beer and we're gone. I'm getting a bit better, 3 drinks now and I'm gone, whereas before, 3 sips used to be dangerous. Drink responsibly. Okay so the last one, is that it's illegal for one to shoot a buffalo from the second storey of a hotel. Very specific. That's so weird, but you can do it from the first or third, fourth, fifth, but not second. Where has this come from? Someone must have done it from the second floor and they went it is now illegal to shoot buffalo, it should be illegal to shoot buffalo anyway. Let alone from a hotel. It's very odd, I'm sure this is not very regular. Oh definitely because I know we've got like the policemans hat, we've got weird laws here which aren't ever really enforced, but I think these are just ones that have never been taken out of the law so technically they still exist. Oh I love that. I love little things like that. It's what makes the world go round. Yeah, really gets us off. We love all this.
