  • Hi we're Joel & Lia and today's video is dumb Texas laws! So before we start we're sorry

  • if the sound is slightly weird on this video, our sound recorder hasn't worked. 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. So if you enjoyed this video don't forget to subscribe,

  • Iowa and you don't know how to write a comment then sorry, we would teach you but, do you

  • have grandkids that could teach you? Do you say Iowa, how do you say it? Did it say it

  • weird? Yeah, that's gunna be fantastic. I say Iowa, coz that's how they say it. I know,

  • when do we ever hear the state Iowa, no only occasionally on telly, it's not like I'm doing

  • an Alabama. I deliberately say Alabama instead of Alabama but I don't deliberately say Iowa.

  • It was so good. Everyones gunna hate me in the comments, no it's fine darling, it's okay!
