SHOW NOTES
Turns out the country everyone warned the world about has air conditioning, free bread, and people who'll drive a total stranger to a soccer game for free. With the World Cup on American soil and the nation turning 250, Justin and Jesse dig into the flood of foreign tourists discovering — on camera, in real time — that America isn't the crime-ridden hellscape they were promised. They get into the viral "first time
in America" reaction videos, the absurd generosity of regular Americans, biscuits and gravy as a national treasure, and why all of this abundance traces straight back to a founding built on God's word. If you've ever rolled your eyes at your own country
while the rest of the world begs to get in, this episode is your reminder to look up and say thank you.

Welcome to another episode of the Carpe Feade podcast where if the shoe fits you wear it and if the truth hurts you bear it I am Justin Gruber and I am Jesse Gruber and today we hope you will seize the faith Hey everybody welcome episode 2078 That is not the best I've ever told you it was That's not what I told you the episode number was So sorry 233 guys episode 233 of the Carpe Feade podcast welcome in That a weird thing the night we finish community group and Jesse is with me we are together we're like in the same room Yes I don't know what to say we are We are in the same room Which is great because we don't get to do this a lot and it's nice to be in the same room I am regretting it at this exact moment You're horrible you're a bad person Generally you're genuinely a bad person After saying those nice things and I was being like and then you did that you do that like why would you anyway Welcome to this episode I just want to say last episode we did not have like a show map and we were frustrated a bit And all right, so maybe I'm just speaking for you. I was frustrated. The subtitle of last week's episode should have been, oh, and another thing. I described that to somebody. I described that episode that way to somebody earlier today. And I was like, you know what? But time's already passed. It's, it's done. And we've gotten everything from, wow, that was really helpful to, I disagreed with everything you said. And it's like, all right, cool. You know, what's funny about it is we could have used something to help us with like productivity. We could have used, if there was a tool or something that could have helped us like accomplish tasks that we had set up beforehand, that would have been really effective. I just, I just wish there was a tool that could help me like, get my home to be more effective with my time, to help my kids so my kids can engage with the tasks of the home. So the home feels like a structured, a structured environment. Well, you know what, Justin? I want to tell you about a little something. Oh, oh, do tell me, Jesse. I will. Yeah, one of our friends, he built this program. It's called Path of Progress. It turns the daily grind of household chores into a game for your kids. And I know what you're thinking. One of our friends. Oh, is it like the last episode? No, no, no. They know what they're doing. It's actually really awesome. It's actually really awesome and well put together. It's better than that. It's like way professional. It's not like what we do everyone. It's actually a really good tool. Right. And the core philosophy is simple. It gives the kids the right structure and accountability. The accountability ends up becoming second nature of them. So the chores, right? The chores that you have set up become quests. And they are in coins and gems for completing said quests. And the coins they use to buy in-app rewards, like avatars and themes and customizations for their profile. And the gems, the parents set to redeem real life privileges. Like extra screen time or staying up late or whatever you want to make. You know, an ice cream run, a family movie. You know, you could get to pick a family movie. That was one that Jameson really was interested in. But you can customize it to whatever you want. And whatever makes sense for your family. It even has some educational aspects to it as well. There's built-in practice for math and writing. Grammar. You can study the books of the Bible and use it for Bible verse memorization. So you can track all this. So you're never wondering, you know, where they're at with it. There's an admin dashboard for parents with all of these stats. You can see what they're doing, who's outperforming, who. And that's really what I like. Because you need a performance review for your children if it's nothing else. Because let's be honest, guys. We all have favorites. No, I'm just kidding. Oh my God. Double bingo, though. Right. One thing that I liked when I was playing with it is like Maverick. He's my younger. He's what for. You know, you have six kids. You can't keep their energy straight. Don't look at me, bro. I don't know. He's four. He's going to turn five next month. He's he's on his way to five. But you can actually customize the amount of gems that they earn or gems and coins they earn for their different things. So like, you know, the older kids, they're like blowing through chores, you know, and then you know, you don't, you don't, you don't have a Maverick to feel left out. So you can actually increase just his coin count for certain chores. So he's kind of like competitive, which is great because it's kind of like what the Democrats do. No, but I mean, from each according to their ability to each according to their need. That sounds like communism. So you can make this app like communism if you wanted to or, you know, you could not and that's fine. But the simple reality is like my oldest son Mason can do significantly more things than my youngest son Logan. Just there's different. There's a different capacity to pick up their ages are so different. I mean, I could ask my older son to like, hey, can you pick up my car and move it over there? And he'd be like, no problem. Logan's like, can you take the trash out? Wow, it's really heavy. Yeah, it's like, it's a different. They're different. They're different humans. Different people. So there's tons of custom. All that to say, there's tons of customization options in that in that admin dashboard. And there's there's guides to guide you through it all. There's analytics schedules. You can do rotating chore assignments. I've got that set up for Jameson and Teddy. The each could take turns scooping the cat boxes every day. So whatever works for you guys, it's built by a father or four to manage the complexities of real families. So there's no more nagging, no more power struggles. If you've got kids at home, you can actually sign up and get a 30 day risk free trial. Again, the app is called Path of Progress and the website is pathofprogress.ca. And you can use our code Carpe Fide, C-A-R-P-E-F-I-D-E. And you can get these really sweet looking avatars. They're so cool. Just for free. Just for signing up with our code. And what I want to say, just very clearly, you're thinking, I don't want to download something else. There's always so many things that download. Okay, but how about you delete the 40 other apps you don't use and download this? And like, all right, fine. Maybe you're like, I don't know. Jesse and Justin are kind of nutch-obs. That's fair. Let me assure you, the person that made this is an absolute professional. And if you would like to consider how professional they are, you should go to our website. Just take a second. Just take a second. He did the... You take a second, go over to our website and look at it now. Look at how much better and awesome our website is and understand this. He did that like in like his spare time for like one evening. Like, that's how good he is at what he does. It went from a concept to deployed in four days. And that's spare time in four days. Yeah, that's incredible. Hey, do you think you could... Oh, yeah, sure. I'll work on it. I'll work on it when I'm taking a crap. Like, it was like literally like, you look at this website and you're like, wait, what? Yes, that's how good this app. And now take that. And he's actually poured his love and talent into this app and understand that it is infinitely better than just our website. So just take it. Just take it. Take a second. Go over. Try it out. Try it out. If you want sweet avatars, use our code because let me tell you. They're really cool. I mean, literally everything Jesse uses now is just a Carpe Feade avatar that has been made. That's what big by Josh. By Josh. And like, it's like, oh, what's Jesse's profile? Oh, no, it's just a Carpe Feade avatar. It's awesome. It's epic. But it's everywhere. So yes, again, that's pathoprogress.ca. Use code Carpe Feade. You get a 30-day risk retrial. You can set it up how you want. Your kids can try it for a couple of weeks, get into a nice routine, rhythm, customize it, tweak it, do whatever you got to do. And it's absolutely fantastic. Yeah. And if you're going to be on your screen, say, miles away doing something productive, and also you can utilize accountability as well. So it's fantastic. Yeah. All right. It's a great fix for the I'm bored line. Yeah. Oh, your board. Why don't you go grab some coins, bro? Check your chart. Grab a little quest, bro. Travel a little quest. All right. I just want to be clear. We're not overselling this. It's actually really cool. I'm going to move on now. I asked for like a 90-second ad read. I feel like we've talked about it for five minutes. Yeah. I'm sorry. We're going to move on to something that's like, all right. So if last week was like that catharsis you need when you go into like, have you ever been until, have you ever seen these rooms, Jesse, where like you can just break things? Like you've been... Oh, yeah. Rage rooms. Yeah. So if last week was like a catholic rage room for us, this is going to be just straight, wholesome, happy catharsis. So we're, we're Philly sports teams here. So like last week was like gritty. Oh, yeah, gritty. And this week is like the fanatic. It's just... Yeah, this is... Yeah, this last week was gritty, which is really just the fanatic with a long orange hair. And big eyes. But he's angry. Well, it's like, that's the thing, but he's nice. Actually, really hilarious. Wow. I get it. He's hilarious in his anger. Yeah. It's great. So gritty is the flyers, just in case you weren't. That's our hockey team. That's our NHL team, the flyers. And gritty is awesome. And then there's the fanatic who is literally the most below baska in the universe. He has been around forever and he's the Philly. He's our baseball team. And he's got... I mean, dude, the fanatic. He's got like a wife. He's got kids. He's got his grandma. They build entire universe around the fanatic. There's like literally like there's like fanfiction about the fanatic. All right. This is the fanatic. What we're going to do this week is just straight up react and comment. All right. So this is just for fun. Like if you just want to have a little bit entertainment with us, it's reacting comment on one of the biggest phenomenons that we... I'm loving right now. I'm just loving it. I love every second of it. It is the videos of international travelers coming to America and experiencing America because they wanted to see their soccer team play. Now, it's so awesome because they have been told I really hope that didn't show up at the audio because I really hope it does. I want to murder you so much. All right. My wife fed me a salad earlier. I guess the salad. I don't know what I usually eat salad. So it could be the Capri-san clump-layed edition that you just had. I don't know. It's pushing out some weird stuff. Dude, that's a that's a cooking Capri. All right. So the media, the international media has... Everyone knows that the fastest way to consume liquid is by crushing a Capri-san. That's the fastest way to get liquid of your body. Okay. That's what every doctor says. Not a doctor. But every doctor says without a doctor. The joy. Dr. Biden. Joy. In watching people who have been fed from international media that America has filled with like like evil, mean, lazy people that it's crime-ridden and it's dangerous. And in watching them come to America and experience the fact that we live in the absolute greatest country in the history of the world. Like, like, bar none. Like everywhere you go is air conditioned. You have indoor plumbing everywhere you go. You have like in America, our homeless people have cell phones. Like it's just... It's just... And they're experiencing for the first time. And everything they've been told is in America. Our homeless people make more money from being homeless than they do working actual jobs. Yeah. It's insane. And watching these people just experience this reality is really just... Like, it just makes you say, I'm not grateful enough. And I will say, like, I'll wrap this up in a kind of a Christian way, but I'll let the... We'll do the enjoyment first. So we're just going to do a couple of super clips. Now, obviously, this is audio-beauty. So we'll describe it. We'll let a little segment play. And then we'll just kind of describe what you're experiencing through the audio. Sound good? I'm down. It's a plan. Let's try this. I've been smiling watching these. This has been fun. My name's Amiche. We need to talk as French. We need to stop saying, Vive la France. And start saying, Vive la Merrieque. This place is incredible. It's incredible. I just had access, per the cue, for the first time in my life. We need to start saying, Vive la Lutche, on just you get Costco. You French. Howdy. I'm just... We need to start saying, Vive la Lutche, I just took a good Costco in France. The joy of watching them go into stores. It's like... Oh my gosh. I didn't realize this many breads was possible. Vive la Merrieque. I want to make it too straight that says that. Even though I really don't like France. I don't like France, but that guy gets it. He walked into a merrily and he understands. Oh my gosh. Texas barbecue. I live in France. I live in France. It was amazing. Texas barbecue. That's right, buddy. That's right. This is what's great. This is a word French people trying to sound Texan. There is some type of cowboy store. Or maybe it's just a regular store in Texas. I'm not from Texas. They're in just generic Texas store. The New Jersey, it would be a cowboy store. Yeah, this would be outpour near my house. Yeah, this would be near the rodeo. This is boots and cowboy hats. But the caption is French people attempt Texas accent. Getting my old change on Sunday, y'all. Audi. I'm getting my old change on Sunday, y'all. God dog one. God dog one. God dog one, hemp. You're gonna have to try some house. God dog one, hemp. You're gonna have to try some house. That line. Just that line. I reckon I have someone going to go in four tools. I reckon that someone's going to go in the false to loan. You're going to take an accent. You'll better get ready. We're fixing to how big boys get to hunt. Y'all better get ready. We're fixing to how big boys get to hunt. Y'all better get ready. We're fixing to how big boys get to hunt. What you're mixing is the faces that these guys are trying to work their faces in to try to say. They try to talk out of the side of their mouth. They're not really working too low because they're francin'. The one guy tried to say that that dog won't hunt. He's always trying to say that dog won't hunt. They're doing really good. They're doing really good. They can't say it. But they're just happy. They're just happy. The food's too long. It turns out that there is it. I'm sorry. North African people with large knives trying to slice off their heads right now. They're just happy. They're just not to be just reported on another one. We're not doing that. That's too long. It's happening all the time. This is Phenatic. This is Phenatic. We've gritty off the side. By the way, this is a great way to contextualize things. I like the fanatic versus the gritty. Yeah. That's really good. Well, blast your hull. It's one of the skin of the whole deer in it. That's good. That's good. It's harder to kill down here. Right? African hospitality is unmatched. This is great. I don't know the owner of this boat at all. He just seen my video yesterday and sent me a message saying I'm heading out tomorrow. Do you want to come? I said, sure. He then invited me into his house. Is now giving me a private tour and taking me to breakfast on the water on his boat. This is incredible. You guys don't understand. This is not normal in any other country. The media of Port Fraser. He's on a boat. It's just British guy. Yeah. He's a lonely island. A monoboe. He was probably, he was probably, he probably was in Florida for the games. And he's just cruising around on this guy's boat and how did it happen? I just saw his video. He posted it on Instagram and it was like, hey, bro, you want to come? But look, you can come ride on a boat. Come check it out. He's like, what? Yeah. Yeah, because you have to understand we're not we're the majority of America is not the insanity that is spouted by the most ridiculous of our politicians and the most ridiculous of our media. Like we're just not that's not who America is. Right. We're we actually just have an enjoyment about living in America and about the life that we have. And we take this for granted all the time. And these poor people are coming over from places that are for lack of a better term socialist run hellholes. Like that's just what they are. And they're like, wow. No, I'm not getting shot. I'm not getting stabbed. I just got invented onto a $100,000 boat. I'm going to breakfast for free from a complete stranger. Because I like soccer and I'm here. Like that's crazy. It is. You know what's interesting is that even our church had a had beauty Fleming up here for a marriage conference and I had him and his wife and his kids over to my house. We were hanging out just one afternoon before the conference and and it was it was interesting because they lived down in Florida, which is completely different and is the land of the free down there. It's like New Jersey. Like I tell people all the time people don't move to New Jersey unless they're like family is dying and they have to take care of them. Like I mean, a solid 70% of the country is the land of the free compared to New Jersey. Yeah, but but it's interesting because because we were chatting and they they commented on our on my grass. They're like this grass is just so nice. It's nice to like it feels different. They're like, yeah, we don't have like real grass like this down there. And it's like just so interesting how like in America, you can just travel to different states and get completely different experiences. And it's like it's it's unique. Like it's unique to that place. But it's all that's all one country. Yeah, that's the reality of being American. Why would you why would you try? Why would you try? Why would you take why vacation somewhere else? Yeah, like when taking vacation in America, when people tell me they're traveling and then they like pick these are really stupid countries. I'm like, I'm like, gosh, they're like, well, you don't want to travel. I'm like, I don't want to travel outside of America. Yeah, there's so much to see here. Why would I go anywhere else? But if you go to Switchless and you can see mountains, I'm like, oh cool. I can go to like West, the Polkinoes and Sea Mountains. I don't need to go to like, I can go to Vermont and Sea Mountains. I can go to, you know, Nevada and Sea, I don't have to go. And I can be free. I can the west side of the country as mountains and the east side of the country as mountains. It's crazy. There's mountains everywhere. I could buy things in English in America. I could rely on reliably the same stores will be in the others. Like, I don't have to convert money. Like, why are you spending three times the amount to travel across the ocean? Oh, but it's like the histories there. Like, bro, calm down. There's plenty of cool things to see in America. Like, there's so many, anyway, I'll stop. The Americans as rude, lazy, all the above of hospitality and kindness and care and pride. Americans hold these truly like no other country I've been to. And to show you perfect example of that today is flag day, national flag day. And I went to the Huntsville square so nice to see everyone gather hat, take it off and respect the country. Everyone came up to me and said, hi, handshakes, how are you? If you have any questions about this or that, let me know. If you want to go hunting, I'll show you this safely. Say anyone outside of the US ignored the media because this is the best place I've been to. And that's it's beautiful because you know, June 14th was was flag day and he happened to be in Huntsville, Alabama. And got to experience that we have a flag day and we just genuinely love our country. Which soccer happening in Huntsville, Alabama? Uh, let's go ahead and a giggle does does soccer happen. I don't follow soccer. It's crazy. The world cup is here, but like I don't know barely anybody that actually follows soccer like religiously like we do football or baseball. Well, we're hockey when we beat Canadians. Well, I mean, the fun thing is the fun thing is about America's we realized, hey, we can use like our hands and stuff. Why don't we? Uh, yes, there's a people in Birmingham, Alabama. So Huntsville being he's just getting a place to stay in your Birmingham. Yep. Football. It's like soccer, but there's no kicking. There's no kicking. It's called football, but there's no kicking. Well, there's a little kicking a little, a little, a little. Oh my gosh. This is just a montage of kids just absolutely being kids. It says we braced for people to be cold or worse. Instead, they've been some of the warmest people we've met. The thing we feared was the thing we were most wrong about this. This is a great video. The tip of this is there at some time a convenient store. The kid just climbs in the freezer section and the other kids just shut them in and he just look happy. They're just going in the cold air. Just let me knock it up. Going down the street, everybody says hi. What do you mean hi? What do you mean, my? What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean? Hi. We're just happy to be here. There's just so many of these videos to watch. We'll do more. We'll do more. There's great videos here to watch. You want to do the Chili's one? Oh, yeah. This is just a family going to Chili's. By the way, one of the greatest things I've enjoyed. People are like, I'm going to go to a fancy dinner. So we're me, me and my son are here. Should we do the biscuits and gravy? Oh my gosh. Yeah, you know what? Let's let you shut this bread up. This bread was like, this looks gross. But really, these people are just like, I want to take my kid to a fancy restaurant. So we went to Texas house. This bread. And we're like, we're like, I'm just like, Texas Red House is not a fan. You know what? Good for you. And like, they're just so surprised. Like, he brought us. He brought us. He brought us. They just brought us bread. And I said, we didn't order this. It's like, I know it comes with a table. It's just overwhelmed that there's just free bread came to the table. And he's like, it's the best bread that I've ever had. You've never had bread like this in London. Like, you can't find it in New England. It's just so great. But this guy is funny because this guy got biscuits and gravy, which by the way, freaking amazing. If you're, if you have not had biscuits and gravy, you have like, oh my gosh. It's so good. You know what? We'll just send you to England. You can, you can go enjoy the New South African, North African population that's present in England. Okay, because biscuits and gravy is amazing. Just so highly requested biscuits and gravy. Let's see what this is all about. It's my first time trying it. It does not look very appetizing. I'm not going to lie to you. It doesn't look appetizing. There we go. Yeah, you ready to flip that around, buddy? Doesn't look appetizing. Takes a bite. Julie, wait a second. The realization of joy. Takes another bite immediately. Very surprise. Wait, wait. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It tastes like bread pudding. By the way, it doesn't, I don't know what bread pudding you've ever had, bro. This is not bread pudding. We still have bread pudding. They've got it right. They know what they're doing over here. Yeah, we do. They're doing great. It's getting gravy. It's actually really good. Then he takes a bite with potato with the breakfast potato. He's losing it. That was really good. He can't stop eating. It's now turned into a shoveling contest. It's not an interview anymore. It's just one of those. It's just like eight beat eaters. You're just going to take a video of me enjoying this. It's not, it takes us five. It's so good. He just like, yeah, this is amazing. Oh, my gosh. By the way, wait till he tries bread pudding. So bread pudding is actually a dessert. Welcome to America. It doesn't taste savory. It tastes like bread and icing and sweet milk. It's amazing. These guys with the drink is pretty funny too. We should do this one. So much. Anyway, 10 out of 10 would recommend this. No, no, no, no. That was cheesecake factory. That guy's funny. I ask him medium size. That's me. But you medium. My entire family can drink from here for one month. You mean medium size? Yeah. But on the side. Everything is bigger. But also, why you have to pay more? For the bigger size if I have the filter field? Because that you can take out and you just have it for the entire day. But there is no sense. You have the filter field. I don't know how many. How many? I don't know. At least two plates of pasta. At least two plates of pasta. Sugar is good. Yeah. Sugar is good. 100%. No. It drops on the ground. The sadness. The face. The sadness in the eyes. Why did we drop it? The size. I don't know why we're doing these things. Why don't you? It's so weird. Oh man. Why do you pay for bigger size if you get the free refill? Why? Get the free refill. It's so crazy. It's so crazy. It's been in the form. I thought it was like fully Mexican. Is it supposed to be? No. Chinese is American. What? What? Chinese is American. What? Where it was like a Mexican restaurant. It was like... Chili's is what's called text mix for everyone just to be clear. It is very American. It's just like an American diner kind of thing. It's not an American diner, but they'll find it up. I don't know what. I don't think that's right. I don't know that's good. I don't know. I don't know. That's what I'm like. I don't know. I don't know. And broccoli. Yes, you can have broccoli. This poor child's never had American cooking. Is it broccoli? I think it broccoli. Yes, you can have broccoli. I really had an alter figure. I know. But there's a miniature eggplant. I know that's an alter one. It looks so good. I'm sorry. I'm going to be piece. Be piece. Oh. And then they get the chips and salsa. That's silly. It's a pizza for the whole whole town. They're amazing. They haven't even eaten the chips and salsa. They do not know. It's bottomless. It's bottomless chips and salsa friends. Shout out to those chips and salsa kids because you can have more. More ever. It's kind of like the sauce is probably like like, like, like, Rani. It's cheesy. Now they're trying to say salsa. I thought it was like the wordy. She don't know. That's not like that. Can you try some? Caisers sauce. Yeah, it's good. That's right, little kid. That, that chili such that Caisers good. Oh, yeah. These poor, these wonderful children having their whole entire lives expanded. You're an expert. Base balls on. Base balls on. Go. Not Carolina. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The shit is coming like replace your drink before you even ask. They're leaving. Finish it. You don't even ask for a reason. Hey, is that three? Yeah. So you're in case one soda. This is three. So crazy. Yeah. Welcome to America. Three. You have like three liters of coke. Three liters of coke. So. Half rack of ribs. Oh my gosh. So, other people. Tell people what you get. I got the burger. What kind of burgers are those? The one that you latch the look outside. I'm inside here. Oh, honestly, the case city is salad. Looks really good. Look, the kids are going to be so happy. Oh, this is. You have to understand this is so cathartic for us after last week. This is so fully fanatic. Oh, thank you. Amazing. They're overwhelmed today. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. My first treat. Six after theistas I've ever had or although I was probably just on that burger a few years ago. They're overwhelmed now. They're so shocked. They are so shocked. Yeah. They are creating qualitatively well now. They're hoping they're out of pozwolo I don't know about you, Jesse, but whenever we, you've been with me, like whenever I go somewhere else in America, I'm always looking for the off the beat. I'm always looking for mom and pop spots because I want to eat where the people that live there eat, I don't want to eat at these places. But for, this is what I mean. And for the rest of the world, they come and eat at our large chain restaurants. And it is, they're amazed at the large chain restaurants and all I'm thinking is like, dude, pull out your phone, search near you, and type in the food, just whatever food you want, whatever you feel like, type that food in, and go off the beaten path, and not only will you be in awe, but your brain will melt right out of your ears. Yeah. Oh, man. Should we do this guy? No, forget that guy. Go to one of the other girls, the ladies' other videos. If you click on what? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you go back to her profile, she's like nine of them. All right, I got you. I got you, fam. Oh, yeah, fam. Oh, yeah, fam. It's the America invasion. I know what's the American. Okay, I'll stop. Just any of them. Okay, just click on it. Across the USA, then everybody be sure. Like California, you see them wearing their back. You said pick any of them. This one has no, this one has no anything. Just roll a little bit, maybe. All right, I'm going to, I'm going to mute it until from eating an all 16 world cup host cities. And I had angry people in my DMs the entire time, furious that I was promoting the United States. But I'm going to be honest with you, the world owes Americans an apology. America that everyone wore me about was rude, dangerous, and broken, but the one that I actually turned up to, friendliest people in the world. God's showing their appreciation by sharing a Glasgow tradition. Yeah, cones on statues. Cones on statues. Yeah, in America, hey, you got a glass kind of tradition. What's your tradition? Nothing offensive. We just put cones on statues. Bro, let's do it. You know what America is like? You know, I'll climb that statue. You can be the code. You can reach the statue. Every American's like, yo, give me that code. Guess what, general Wallace, you got a cone on that. It's a set. Of course, of course we'll share your tradition. We don't care. The cone head done. You know what really blows my mind is that these people are visiting American cities. It's true. Like the thing that I despise about America is where these people are and they think it's like the best things in sliced bread. These are men and American Eagle costumes. Dutch fans doing a road trip and a ram and feeling the American vibes so much that they're just singing American road. Having so much fun. What's a cowboy hat on? Your favorite beer is missing from a tap. We've never seen anything like it. There's a decent chance that Scotland has something to do with it. So pause the jazz. That Scotland story is they were in the Boston area. Because Scotland hasn't made the woke up in a long time. And basically they like drank a Boston drive. Beers. That's amazing. Scott's came in and said, this is amazing. There's beer everywhere. And they drank all the beer. It's just like good for you guys. I mean, it's way better than the murder that's happening in your streets. So good for you guys. This video is a cop play with the soccer ball. I don't know if it's a cop or if it's just like a public safety off the other side. But like the whole, I have to say this about the World Cup. America has absolutely smashed it. Before this tournament, you had people online saying it's going to be a terrible World Cup. America doesn't like football. Nobody's going to travel. We're not going to feel welcome. We're not football. It's been quite the opposite. We've got fans from all corners of the globe. We've got packed world class stadiums, by the way. Friendly people. Everybody you meet is just stopping you and talking about football and your experiences. I think we can all agree that America has in an absolutely fantastic job of hosting this World Cup so far. Genuinely feel a lot of people's opinions on America will now change after this World Cup. Yeah, buddy. That guy was wearing a Bucky shirt the whole time. Yeah, that's the, I think that's Freddie. I think that's the famous guy that's like, I think he got invited to the White House, actually. I mean, as he started posting these videos, and he went into a Bucky's and he's like freaking out like, well, I mean, because Bucky's is the greatest place in the world. You go to Bucky's for the first time in anybody free. I freaked out. Actually, I think you were so overwhelmed that you were like, my anxiety was so high. Why would we go to a Bucky's on opening weekend with five children? And see, that was the mistake. We went to, at that point, what was the largest of Bucky's in the world? Because every time one opens up, it's the largest Bucky's in the world. Is that true? Yeah, when it opened, it was subverbal. Yeah, that was the largest. And it was on, it was within its opening week. And we went on the weekend. And severe in, in Tennessee is already a tourist town. So people pull off and touristy there. And so it was insane. It was funny though. You could still find a gas bomb. There was billions of people I've never seen so much. There were thousands and thousands of cars. And yet, you could still just pull up to a gas bomb, because there's that that you get. And honestly, checking out was fine. And they're happy people. They're like, hey, welcome to Bucky's, because I work in the greatest place in the world. So it's screw you. But we walked inside and I was like, we lost Justin. He was just gone. And I'm like, I need a tour. Like, I don't know what's going on with me. I want to be an ambassador for Bucky's. And I should have done that. Yeah, it was, it was not okay. I take full responsibility. And so the next time I go to Bucky's, I'm literally going to be like, hey, if it's your first time, just gather over here by the Beaver statue. I will take you in and give you the tour. Oh my gosh. I've like memorized the layout. I love it so much. All right. Anyway, you want to do one more? Yeah. Yeah, come on. Should we do our first one or should we do this one? You know what honestly, I don't think, can you beat these videos so good? You're amazing, invading America during peak Patriots season is my favorite content on internet right now. If you aren't keeping track of this, you need to check it out. I can't, I can't skip it. You might be witnessing the fall of Europe right before our very good. If you know we're all going to go to Europe next summer and everyone suddenly going to have air conditioning, the streets will be lined with Costco's Walmart F-150s in Cracker Barrel and Waffle House. Do you've had biscuits and gravy from Cracker Barrel? It's hard to go back to cigarettes and coffee being your breakfast. Did you know region players are currently looking up the meaning of bless your heart? How many Spanish players are asking themselves if y'all is most hotos or ostedis? All of Europe will not be bred about by the Muslims. We'll be bred about by cornbread and two liter mountain dew. And I can tell each and every American. You'll be brought about by cornbread and mountain dew. Really? I said this before we started recording. It's like, it's like so. How did you change the world? It's like, well, we hosted the world couple of years. And America's 250. Like, yeah, it turns out everyone had been told that America sucks. And then they came to America and they were like, wait, you guys, this could, this is where you, this is your everyday, like you wake up to this everyday. Really? Yeah, we can go to chilies whenever we want. Yeah, we can't chill. Yeah, you know what's funny? We can stop at Texas Roadhouse on just a Friday afternoon. It's just a Friday afternoon for us. It's amazing. Get this. You can like order up Wawa hoogies anytime. By the way, it's Hogi Fest. If you live near a Wawa right now currently, it's our best. Wawa, not a sponsor. You really do appreciate what you got. Praise the Lord God almighty for keeping America great and safe. This guy's getting refill. I can refute this a thousand times. That's my first fucking America. I mean, I'm more like Texas guys. This breakfast for you. You know everything. Just in a Texas roadhouse. Just say. One thing I love about the European world cup tourists right now is that they're not just being dropped off in the middle of Los Angeles or New York City or some over hyped metropolitan hub that most Americans like myself don't even like. They're being dropped right in the middle of the heart of middle America. The most hilarious part about this is a lot of the locals in these areas have no idea who these people are or why they're even there. So the stories we're hearing all over social media of the overwhelming American hospitality restaurant owners driving European tourists to the world cup games because they can't find an Uber. Deli owners giving British tourists free lunch just because they came all this way. Local firemen in Alabama giving tourists tours of the fire department and giving them merch, including challenger pins like all this stuff can go on and on all of this stuff that we're seeing all over social media right now of the overwhelming kindness of Americans. That's real America. Don't watch the news. Don't hyper focus on these horrible big cities like New York focus on this stuff because this is real America and this real America that is shocking in the best way all of these European tourists is a direct result of people living by American values and principles. And we Americans are proud to be Americans because our values actually means something when they're applied in real life. Only if you're white. This this guy is great. This guy embraced the American culture. Like he bought a literal course beer like $5 like convenience store hat. He's just rocking it. Probably a little sure that cracker. Well, he's got a foot. Oh, that's look at the look at the background. Totally. That's 100% cracker barrel. And he got biscuits and gravy. And this man's mustache is also amazing. But like we'll let him react. Yeah, big chunk of this. What's it is mouth drops the floor could die. So this is so good. This is why I want to have it. He's just an heaven is eyes closed face to the sky. So good. It's so good. Look, we did we just needed catharsis. We did. This is this is fairly fanatic all the way. Like you can just take a second to appreciate what we have every day. And here's the here's the reality for Christians. The one the one British guys exclamation in his longer video. He's just walking in a park and he's just like there's there's not trash everywhere. Look, look at look at this. These squirrels he says this look these squirrels. These squirrels are even eating. No, I don't know. I don't know what that means. I don't know if they're in England. They're eating squirrels and leaving the carcasses. Quite possible. Quite possible. But it's like this. There was the issue there was the issue with the cats and dogs. Yes, it was just he's just like look at these squares. The squirrels aren't even eaten. And I'm like, wait, what? But also like what he says like just thank the Lord God Almighty that America has stayed great. Because this is the genuine outpouring of just the trickle of God's grace. Like just the smallest amount present at the founding of our country to and still values that have a connection to God's word. Just that dipping of the toe and the immensity of God's grace has given us something 250 years later that that is still when you compare it to the rest of the world. Absolutely amazing. And it should it should really encourage us not to lose that. Amen. It really should encourage us not to lose that. That there is something worth there is something eternal to fight for. Present in those. In fact, not only is there something eternal to fight for, but just as Christ has torn tearing up, tore down the walls of his city so that he can make more citizens because no wall can hold back his kingdom. And he needs it to expand just as he has done that for us to bring us into his government into his kingdom. Not only should we fight to keep it, we should fight to continue to grow it and to make it more. And we have that freedom here. Like we have that freedom in America to continue to keep the glory of God on our tongues openly, right? That that we have a place where in the majority, like, all right, so not in your inner cities, but in the majority of America, women don't fear when they walk around with their purses like out in the open. And we don't have to fear when our child is playing in our front yard. Now, obviously, then you go to the Democratic co-holes in cities and that's totally different. But for the majority of Americans, that's our experience and what a gift that is. And yet we don't speak enough about absolutely eternal things. The thing that will not just maintain, but grow America, grow the kingdom of God. We don't speak about those things enough. These people are coming here and simply finding people to be kind. They're simply finding people to be genuine and and it's blowing their minds. And yet there's so much eternal, like, eternal grace and joy that we have in the Lord. We don't speak about it at all. And that should be a huge challenge to us as Christians. We do live in the greatest place in the world to live right now. And yet we take it for granted and we complain and we get frustrated. And yet we don't speak of the eternal sovereign God that has offered us salvation that truly gives us freedom. We even know we don't speak about it at all. So take that joyful thing and just wrap it up and and proclaim the glory of God because that is what makes where we live awesome. And and that's what we'll make where we live even better. Awesome. Yes, because we can do what we want with language. You know, I'll share this for the people that are still listening. We were driving who driving over here today for a community group and maybe maybe it was whatever, but it's unimportant. But we passed Lucas Greenhouses and they have they have all the flags in front of Lucas Greenhouse. Yes, very American. And and we really we really said, why is the American flag higher than all the other flags? And and Maverick said Maverick by four year old said, because it's the greaterer flag in the world. 100% 100%. It's the greaterer flag in the whole world like duh. That's why it's higher than all the other flags. You know what? And the rest of the world is absolutely finding that out and starting to agree. All these people are going to go back home and when someone says something negative about America, they're going to be like, shut your mouth. I was there. It's not bad. I went shut your mouth. I went to Chili's. They brought me chips and salsa. I didn't order them. They spent three hours in Chili's eating chips and salsa. They put listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. They brought me bread and I sat down and there was bread. And I was very concerned because I didn't want to be charged for the bread and then I was informed. The bread just comes to you. They just bring the bread. And if I get the bread, they bring me more bread. This is America. It's amazing. Oh, man. What a what a fun time. Look, overwhelmingly the reality is there's a very deep, deep spiritual reality and truth in all this. It's joyful. It's fun. Why do we complain and and be just be ungrateful? Why? When we should be active and engaged in bringing the eternal glory of God into these things because we can and we should. That's how free we are. So I say we get after it, man. Yeah. We got to get after it. Heck yeah. Well, I mean, is it greater or flag all of the world? That's right. It is the greater or flag in all the world. Well, and with that dear Christian, we hope that you this day would seize the faith.
