Jeanne Robertson | The Rafting Story (Uncut) 

Loved hearing the uncut version of this story! I both laughed and cried. The world lost a wonderful amazing woman who dedicated her life to making people laugh and taught us to look for the humor in less than humorous moments. She’s on my list to meet in heaven when I get there. 🙏 🕊

They say in the Grand Canyon "the Colorado river is to thick to drink and to thin to plow".

I laughed until I cried with your story! Happy heavenly birthday Mrs Jeanne. We miss you!

Miss you Jeanne

That’s not rain…between Leslie and Jeanne it’s God’s tears from laughing so hard…😂…this was hilarious…you are truly missed

She was one of the best storytellers I've ever known, thank you Jeanne!

Her stories will never grow old. RIP

What a great and hilarious storyteller -- why am I only learning about her now???

She was one of the TOP TEN HUMOROUS PEOPLE OF THIS WORLD! Truly miss her, and very glad she left her legacy of videos for us to keel laughing at ourselves!

This woman had the most unique sense of humor..she was awesome

I'm from uk. Never heard of this lady before, but wow so glad this was in my suggestions. Brilliant

Class, pure and simple. God rest you Jeanne.

I came to this country 30 years ago as a late teen to get my masters in the south, clueless about the history, clean slate, and welcome in both communities,black and white alike. It was one of the best years of my life. I found this show by accident and am I am enjoying every minute of her humor.

OMG how have I never heard of this woman. I love her!!! Such good clean fun. Never laughed so hard in my life

One of the most down to earth and funniest ladies ever. I'm so grateful that we can still enjoy her legacy through her videos. RIP dear lady with your loving husband, Left Brain. 💖

I really miss this wonderful comedian... She was an awesome Storyteller... RIP Jeanne

Loves her suit and her humor!!

I thought the short clips of this story was funny, but this full version is hilarious !

She is hilarious, God Bless her for turning our bad days into laughter! ❤

Miss her! Glad I bought all of her routines. I laugh till I cry

There will, almost guaranteed, never be another one like Jeanne! She has made millions laugh, forget their troubles, see the humor in all sorts of situations. God bless Jeanne & Left Brain. You have made our hearts merry and our troubles much lighter and possibly forgotten, at least for a little while.

One of most favorite stories!! God bless her soul, she is greatly missed.

The whole story made me laugh a lot like no other.. I went down to write and read comments and I realized she’s no longer with us .. RIP Jeanne Robertson, you are one of a kind..And I know I’d not enjoy the story if it has been told by anyone other than you!

This woman is...sadly was ..so brilliant . From a big fan in Ireland. Tears of laughter from this video.

I had never heard of her or this story. Laughed out loud!

Never heard of this lady until now. I gather from the comments she's no longer with us, but I will say this, "this rafting story is one of the funniest story's I've ever heard". I take it to be true since some of the people on it were right there in the audience. Fantastic story teller and totally hilarious without one bad word in it. Wish I'd had the pleasure of knowing her while she still was performing. RIP ma'am, you've made generations laugh

I was so Blessed to see Her In person twice. She had me laughing so hard, I couldn’t see from the Tears running down my face. For two days after my ribs were sore. God Bless her Soul. Maybe she will do a few shows in Heaven.

I miss Jeanne so much. Still, I'm glad that she and left-brain are back together.

Heard these countless times but I still laugh till tears come. She was the very best! RIP JEANNE ROBERTSON. ❤❤❤❤❤

I met her in DEsMoines, Iowa, & she was so lovely visiting with us after being on stage. She couldn’t have been any nicer ~. My heart hurt when I learned of her passing. But someone had to look after Left Brain in heaven~

Jeanne was one of the funniest and kind people that I was blessed to know.

Totally Awesome when I'm feeling down and despondent all I have to do is listen to her for 5 min and then I'm 👍 ok

Here is to endless Birthday candles, Jeanne's light will never go out. Thank you team for this post, it is a treasure

Jeanne popped up in my feed a few months ago. I watched a few. I have never laughed so hard. Then I found out she passed last year. I was so sad. I have since watched a lot of her videos. She was an amazing woman and funny.......bless her and left brain

Sure do miss this precious woman and her lovely humor.

This is at least the 3rd time I have heard this and before I have even heard it completely I am smiling in anticipation of laughing out loud!

Watched from Bangalore, India. Sadly Jeanie R. is not known in this part of the world. Just by chance I stumbled across this video and what can I say? That I feel privileged to be listening this genuine master story teller or incredibly sad that I learn that she has passed on... Thank you madam. I am sure that you have a grateful audience wherever you are.

OMG! The minute I heard her voice telling this story, the laughter burst out of me and the tears of humor ran down my face! I had heard this before on my computer and cracked up. But I saw Jeanne in person twice in one year in 2012 or so. She is the funniest comedian I’ve ever heard. Her stories never get old! I was so sad to hear about her death. 😥🙏🙏

I haven't laughed so hard in years! I could picture just about every scenario!

I was lucky enough to see Jeanne live. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. She is without doubt one of the funniest people ever. So sad to have lost her.

Was listening to this as I was getting ready for work this morning. What a wonderful way to start your day! But dont try putting on mascara when Jeanne is on a roll! Lol😉

Blessings & Joy! And Thank You God for Jeanne!!! Just "met" her on RU-vid yesterday & Can't Wait for eternity to meet up once again!

I howled with laughter, I would have given anything to meet this lady 😪

Back almost 50 years ago I hiked down into the Grand Canyon and back out again on the same day. I was out of shape and tired coming back up, with a lot of people passing me, when I caught up to a very old man hiking very slowly towards the top. He had been on a raft - but it was too rigorous for him, and they had let him off at the bottom of the canyon so he could walk out by himself. And when I caught up to him he had his nitroglycerin pills in hand, and he was focused on counting his steps to keep himself moving one step at a time towards the top. So we stayed together, and reached to top as the sun was going down. And I left him after we found a pay phone. But I've always wondered how bad that rafting trip must have been, and what the organizers where thinking when they left this very old man at the bottom of the canyon.

OMG, I couldn't sleep and this came up in my recommended videos so I clicked on and I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. Jeanne Robertson is pure comedy gold. I wish I would have known about her when she was still with us, may she rest in peace.

She was a great story teller..... RIP Jeanne

She was a beautiful woman. Just classy!

I don't know how I'm just experiencing this wonderful, hilarious, charming story teller of a woman, but I'm sure delighted I have!! ☺ what a joy! What a talent!

Her legacy lives on thru her laughter in these videos.

I love this kind of narrative humour and Mrs Robertson is such an adept. Love her work.

We've been down the Grand canyon. It was 18 days and we paddled our rafts. This is the funniest thing I have ever heard. Cried laughing so hard. Very true.

I can't believe this wonderful lady is gone. It just felt so quick when her and the husband passed. They had to be reunited but I really thought she would be kicking into her 90s

I love you and miss you.I bet she keeps the heavens in stitches!

Rest In Peace Jeanne, you made the world brighter.

Funny, inspirational & classy. I miss you terribly Jeanne. You made a difference n my mood EVERY time I listened 2 YOU Jeanne. 🌺🥰🌸 I never heard the longer version b4, ty so much 4 posting it. 🙏🏼👍💜

I am happy that I got to hear and laugh with you today!

I have watched this over and over. I love her delivery and sense or humor. I hope Mrs. Robertson is in the company of Angels. God bless Mr and Mrs Robertson.

I miss you Jeanne, I had become accustomed with the Saturday back porch. Rest In Peace Jeanne

I’m still saddened that she died. It seemed so sudden. What a funny lady. May she Rest In Peace! with Left Brain.

Hilarious! RIP Jeanne.

I never become tired of replaying Jeanne's video..still laugh as if viewing for the 1st time..thank you Jeanne..hysterical..

I watched this lady's RU-vid channel unfortunately a few days after she had passed, and oh how i wish she had been spared for a while longer. She is the first "speaker" that i have heard that was so funny in the things that she said and got up to, you couldn't help but laugh. Jeanne could sure put the majority of the world to shame by her fresh and life humour that was so clean and refreshing that my Nana if she was still alive could have listened to her all day. Her warm and natural way that she had is truly a big miss for us on this earth and her son and grandsons. Thank you Jeanne for bringing humour just when we need it most. RIP Jeanne with Left Brain

Love this story everytime I hear it. Thanks for posting it uncut.

Love rewatching Jeanne's Stories ...Miss her so much

I have heard parts of this many times and it is still so funny. I am so thankful we got to see her live a couple of years ago and had seats on the second row right in front of her. It was great! I still can't believe she is gone. I know she is rockin the rafters in heaven.

I have watched this at least a dozen times and most of them while in bed with a brain bleed, but this is THE FUNNIEST story I have EVER heard and it makes me laugh ( not so hard as before cos no strain on my brain allowed) it truly cracks me up... All Jeannie's stories are hilarious to the max, but this has me laughing when I want to cry instead. Thank you SO much for posting this. She's the funniest lady I EVER heard, ever! And America has some very clean comedian folks, not so much here in the UK sadly but I am glad I got to hear of her when I lived stateside, and through RU-vid being her with me back to the UK.

National Treasure , she’s one of the best speaker/ humorous in the world.

I loved listening g to Jeannie . She is surely missed

We need more comedians like her. RIP with the Lord, Jeanne

So so funny. I so love this story. Still laughing out louder after hearing it again and again. Thank you. Still miss her a lot.❤️❤️

So funny Jeanne!! I miss you!! I'm so happy we have these videos to watch!!

Too hilarious she's absolutely delightful! What a wonderful storyteller! I laughed out loud several times. And I'm just not the type that laughs easily. I'm so surprised I have never heard of this beautiful clever witty woman before. Thanks RU-vid for suggesting such a priceless gemstone! 💎

I laughed so hard at this set that I almost peed myself! So glad Jeanne Robertson popped up in my feed!!!!!

Oh, How I miss Jeanne!! Thank you so so much for sharing this uncut version!

Brilliant of course! Hubby asleep and I’m rocking the bed with trying to keep my laughing quiet 😂. Thanks for continuing to share the videos and bringing us the joy of this wonderful late lady’s performances. World class… and full of class. ❤

Seeing the uncut version was very entertaining. I laughed out loud. I may have awakened a neighbor. Story-telling isn't that easy to do. I'm sure I'll watch this episode many times.

JEANNE YOU WERE SO FUNNY! THANKS FOR ALL THE LAUGHS!

Jeanne, hope you have Heaven in stitches. You were and still are a gift for so many. Laughter is good for the soul. You are the Queen.

I can listen to this over and over, she sure was one in a million, one funny lady.

She’s easily on of the funniest comedians ever

I would be happy if I could tell stories like she did. So 🌟much fun to listening too. 🤣😂Thank you. 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨🌟

🤣😂. Nothing like Jeanne to brighten a day. So thankful for her videos to carry on.

What gorgeous, wonderful and BRILLIANT LADY!! I just love her and her expressive acting! Stunning, whilst left brain looks so serious in the audience. God Bless this GREAT LADY AND HER FAMILY!!!

This had me laughing so hard it hurt. She is deeply missed. Some people are just too good for this world. 😢

I love watching you Jeannie. I know you are keeping God laughing. I love you Jeannie and miss you.

We miss you Jeanne

It takes a whole lot to amuse me and I have to say Jeanne is classed right up there with Erma Bombeck. God love them for getting real and saving my life.

Thanks so much for bringing us this uncut piece. I surely needed that laugh today. This was terrific to say the least.😂😂😂

I haven't laughed this much in ages!!!

So Funny! Laughing so hard. What a Blessing she was and still is Today! Heaven must be a very funny place, indeed ❤

Sharon here: I will never stop wishing I had been able to see Jeanne in person. She was such a beautifully funny and elegant lady, finding humor in everything and everyone. If smiles and chuckles were a dollar each, she'd have earned millions from the humor she shared.

Loved the uncut version of the rafting story. It is so good😊

I love and miss you, Miss Jeanne!

What a wonderful, funny lady! A master in southern story telling…I laughed and cried at the same time 😅 Rest in peace, dear lady !

Having spent some of the best years of my life guiding on the Colorado, you made me laugh so hard I cried. Thank you for telling your story 🤣

Miss you Jeanne 💕😪 had heard this on spotify, thank you for putting this one up

Love you, Jeanne! ❤️ You are a star! ⭐

I never get tired if her stories😊

So sorry I didn't find these videos sooner, I love her stories

Dear Jeanne: I wish with my heart that you were still here. I miss you!
