The Crazy Sh*t Americans Say From Reddit — Episode 5

0:00 Save our environment.

0:01 Say no to sidewalks.

0:03 Anyone outside the states is thinking the same

0:05 exact thing when they see this image.

0:07 That is some American Okay, if you're ever wondering why is there a certain type

0:12 of thing that is just prolifically just an American bit

0:15 of content stuff that defies the laws of logic so

0:18 that everyone else around the world looks at it and goes,

0:20 "What what in the mental gymnastics is that?" Well, I can explain.

0:23 My name is Eviger and I grew up in the US and I

0:25 spent the last 13 years of my life in London, the real one.

0:28 And this is episode 5 and a half of uh Americans say,

0:32 a collective roundup of the best contributions to social

0:34 media that Americans have made in the last year.

0:36 So, without further ado, let's jump in.

0:38 Yeah, let's save our environment.

0:40 Say no to sidewalks.

0:42 So, for those of you that haven't seen

0:43 my video on why Americans don't walk to school anymore,

0:46 uh you might be a bit confused as to why

0:48 someone would ever have this sort of sign in their lawn.

0:50 Why would you not want a sidewalk?

0:52 Why would you want that?

0:53 In most all parts of America, the paving, the maintenance,

0:56 everything about a sidewalk is actually at cost

0:58 to the property owner that has the nearest bit of sidewalk.

1:01 And that means that if it snows out, you actually have to shovel that.

1:05 And if someone gets injured slipping and falling on your bit of sidewalk

1:08 cuz you didn't happen to wake up early enough to shovel it,

1:10 hey, they can sue you because it's the land of the free.

1:12 And so a lot of Americans are just like, "No, no, no.

1:15 We don't want sidewalks." There's also more notorious reasons

1:18 for why some Americans don't want sidewalks besides just the cost.

1:21 You see, if your neighborhood is incredibly car- centric and there's

1:24 literally no life on it unless you're in a car,

1:27 what type of person can't walk around your neighborhood?

1:29 That's right, someone that can't afford a car.

1:31 So, easy way to keep the pavos out.

1:34 Say no to sidewalks.

1:35 What's next?

1:35 What's next?

1:36 Do you know Iran is pronounced wrong by mostly everyone except Iranians?

1:42 The I is supposed to be pronounced like Italy.

1:45 Well, by mostly everyone, do do you mean Americans?

1:49 This is a very good example of like the American bubble where you

1:52 literally only know American stuff and so

1:54 you're like well mostly everyone says Iran.

1:56 So I mean that's no mostly everyone in your in your country.

2:00 Yes.

2:00 I will say everyone I've ever heard in pretty much

2:03 the UK and in any any European I've actually met says Iran,

2:07 but American says Iran.

2:08 I will say though, I'm going to defend the Americans here.

2:11 I don't really think that's too big of a deal.

2:13 I think that it's just an accent thing.

2:15 Pronouncing it differently is actually fine.

2:17 You know, no one in England is calling it Italia,

2:19 you know, we call it Italy, and that seems fine, right?

2:22 But the thing that makes this the Americans say

2:24 that makes me laugh so much is the, "Oh,

2:26 well, mostly everyone pronounces it wrong." No, no, no.

2:30 Just mostly everyone in the bubble of like culture that you actually

2:32 understand cuz you've not really talked

2:34 to anyone outside of the American bubble.

2:36 That's that's the bit that makes it funny to me.

2:38 Guys who left US dollars as a tip in Greece when the currency is euros,

2:42 well, for the local people, $1 is a lot of money.

2:46 It's 86 euro pence.

2:48 that they can't use.

2:50 You know, there's a couple things I have wrong with this.

2:53 Actually, we have a comment here.

2:54 It says, "My sister is a tour guide for wealthy Americans

2:57 on their Europe tour and gets tipped hundreds of dollars in cash.

3:01 I just cannot wrap my head around it." Why

3:03 the do you take hundreds of dollars with you to Europe?

3:06 And how do you get the idea that people in the EU would prefer them over euros?

3:10 It's not really America's fault.

3:11 There's a couple places that Americans do

3:13 travel to in which they do accept dollars.

3:15 A lot of Americans will just go

3:16 to very touristy destinations close by like Cancun, Mexico.

3:19 You can actually exchange USD.

3:21 It's accepted there.

3:22 I know Cambodia, for instance, is a country I've been to recently in which they

3:25 actually preferred in certain places a nice crisp US dollar.

3:28 So, it's not like it's completely out of place,

3:31 but it's really the energy of like, oh, everyone wants our money.

3:34 Our money is the default.

3:35 We'll just give it to you.

3:36 And it's that like permeating ethos and belief that, oh,

3:40 whatever your money is, your fantasy money, your monopoly money, here you go.

3:43 Here's real money.

3:44 It's It's ours.

3:45 Even though it's just useless to us over here.

3:47 Also, I will say when I first moved to the UK,

3:51 I went to my US bank and I said, "Hey, can I get 200 pounds worth of money?

3:55 I'm I'm going to Britain." And she was like,

3:56 "What?" And I was like, "British pounds?" And she was like, "Oh, okay.

4:00 This seems to be not a normal thing that people

4:02 ask for in South Jersey." Turns out I think

4:04 she ended up giving me two 50 notes and then

4:06 like four 20 notes and then two 10 notes.

4:09 And I was like, "Okay, this is perfect." Right.

4:11 I fly to Britain.

4:12 I land in London.

4:13 I'm really tired.

4:14 I'm really hungry.

4:15 I see, this is a sin, I know.

4:17 I see a Subway and I went, "Okay,

4:18 I'm just gonna get a quick hogie." And so I go to get one and I

4:21 try and hand the guy my cash and he looks at it and he goes,

4:24 "What is this?" And I was like, "What?

4:26 You you tell me.

4:27 I just got here." I go to the subway in in England like,

4:31 "Hey, can I use this this money here?

4:33 I want I want a sub." And he's like, "LOOK AT THIS.

4:36 LOOK at this.

4:37 Oh my god, look at the queen.

4:39 I haven't seen money like this since I had a girl's voice." First of all,

4:42 that's an interesting analogy.

4:43 Secondly, what?

4:45 And he was like, the queen looked so young in this.

4:47 Are you serious?

4:47 And I was like, I don't know.

4:49 Turns out wasn't even legal tender.

4:51 They gave me cash that was so outdated,

4:54 it wasn't accepted in the UK anymore because it turns out so few people

4:58 in my area of New Jersey in the US travel abroad to the UK.

5:01 They just had outdated notes and they hadn't actually cared to get new ones.

5:04 So, I had to take all that money to a UK bank and get it exchanged.

5:08 There's a lot of reasons why we have problems traveling in the US.

5:10 It's really fighting an uphill battle.

5:12 Next, France's new high-speed trains were just revealed,

5:16 and they look incredible.

5:18 Probably paid for by American

5:19 taxpayers through overcharging tariffs to Americans.

5:22 Turns out the American taxes, they actually don't give Americans things like

5:26 low-speed rail or pedestrian infrastructure or healthcare.

5:30 But for some reason,

5:31 the the taxes Americans pay are paying for all the other foreign countries.

5:36 That that makes sense, right?

5:37 The American exceptism that has been indoctrinated into you through school

5:40 and through the news and through

5:41 everything that Americans the greatest at everything

5:43 cannot coexist in your brain with news that other countries are actually

5:47 having quite great benefits to society and having great qualities of life.

5:51 So you can't actually accept those two things.

5:53 And so the only way both can exist is if America

5:55 is so great that rather than give its citizens basic benefits,

6:00 uh the taxes are paying for the the other countries.

6:04 That's also not how tariffs work, guy.

6:06 I'm so sorry to tell you personal experience with tariffs.

6:09 Ordered a piece of equipment from Spain.

6:11 Delivery is held until I cough up $450 of import fees.

6:15 This is 22% of the purchase price.

6:17 I thought the manufacturer from Spain would pay for this.

6:20 Nah, I pay for it.

6:22 How does this benefit me asking for a friend?

6:25 And I will say this goes both ways.

6:26 Brits also are very stupid with this.

6:28 The same Brits that were like, "OH, BREXIT MEANS BREXIT.

6:32 Let's bring Britain back for British people." Great.

6:34 And then as soon as the Brexit happens and they

6:36 get stuck off with these massive tariffs coming in from Europe,

6:38 they're like, "What?

6:39 WELL, I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING BRITAIN BACK.

6:42 Why does it affect me now?" Oh, because you don't know how to read books, sir.

6:46 Personally, I I used to buy some film equipment from this company in Germany.

6:49 I think they're called like Tomman or something.

6:51 And you know, I get a lot of like stands, uh, different lights and things.

6:54 I buy from different companies.

6:56 There's this German company I used to buy from all the time.

6:57 It was great.

6:58 As soon as Brexit happened, I buy a light stand that cost me 100 quid.

7:01 Turns out, oh, thanks to Brexit, oh,

7:04 I've got to pay extra costs for the VAT and extra for the shipping,

7:06 and now it's got to go through the border,

7:08 and oh, it cost me an extra 30 pounds.

7:10 Oh, thanks.

7:11 Great.

7:11 Thanks, Brexit.

7:12 And what's next?

7:13 Oh, Queen is America's answer to the UK's Beatles.

7:18 There's so much wrong with this.

7:20 When an artist or a celebrity gets really famous in America,

7:23 even if they're not from America,

7:25 American culture just kind of absorbs it and goes, "Yes,

7:27 this has always been American." Even though Queen is so incredibly British.

7:31 In fact, he went to like university

7:33 or school somewhere down in Heelingway, West London.

7:35 Come on, guy.

7:36 Rest in peace, Azie Osborne.

7:38 A true American original.

7:40 Ah, yes.

7:41 Aussie Osborne, the the very famous man with a very American accent.

7:44 I will give him some credit.

7:46 Yes, it's incredibly silly to call Aussie Osborne an American original.

7:50 That's the dumbest thing you could ever say.

7:52 But I mean, Aussie did live in America for a very large

7:56 portion of his life and also had an American reality TV show.

8:00 He considered himself an American towards the end of his life.

8:02 So like not an American original.

8:04 No, big daff here.

8:06 But next up, we've got America was not stolen land.

8:11 Oh, it was discovered and owned by the United States.

8:16 It was secured through stages by the mid-700s, 1500, 1783, and 1823.

8:23 Congratulations.

8:24 You have won today's stupidest American comment of the day.

8:27 You beat some strong competition, but in the end, you came through.

8:30 Oh, wait.

8:30 You beat off some strong competition.

8:32 Well, sounds like a quite quite competition.

8:35 You know, I will say the worst part about this is the snarky authority she has.

8:41 like actually.

8:43 But I kind of understand where she's coming from because from her perspective,

8:47 from her education, she's correct.

8:49 The way that she was taught in America was, "Yeah,

8:52 America discovered this area and we we kind of did these trades

8:55 with the Native Americans and we we acquired the land." You know,

8:58 sure, we had some trail of tears and the Native Americans had to to give it up,

9:01 but they they lost the war.

9:04 We traded it, guys.

9:06 We acquired it.

9:07 It's all fine.

9:09 Anyway, they have this little small area

9:10 of the US in Oklahoma where they've got little,

9:13 you know, they can have casinos.

9:14 It's fine.

9:15 It's all good.

9:16 Just don't don't think about it too much.

9:17 Just found out that in 2021,

9:19 the UN wanted to make food a human right and only two countries voted no.

9:24 America and Israel.

9:25 Wow.

9:26 Damn.

9:27 I think the thing that you could tell that this is

9:29 an American that said this is because they just found out.

9:32 Everyone else has heard about that.

9:33 That's like years ago now.

9:34 But they're like, "Oh, what?

9:36 Whoa.

9:36 Finally, something pierced through the American

9:38 exceptionalism bubble of my news sources, and I found out America bad guy.

9:43 America bad guy.

9:44 No, actually, uh, the defense for this is, well, yeah,

9:47 cuz if America believes that human right is to have food,

9:50 then we'd be the one paying for it.

9:52 Our taxes pay for them French trains,

9:54 and then we're supposed to be paying for them food for them Africans.

9:57 I don't think so.

9:58 We can barely food feed our own.

10:00 You're right.

10:00 You can, cuz you're spending your money

10:03 bombing other countries in the Middle East.

10:04 Wo!

10:05 I'm starting a new business of importing American water to Europe

10:08 to slowly introduce Europeans to the concept of drinking water.

10:12 I'll call it tap, which is short for true American pure water.

10:18 How will we tell the difference between your beer and your water?

10:21 American light beer is bad.

10:22 Listen, I've genuinely never had a good American beer.

10:25 That I will just throw that out there.

10:27 I feel like it's so easy to get good

10:29 beer in every country I've ever been to in Europe,

10:31 especially Germany, Belgium, and also England's got some great ale.

10:35 America, I'm so sorry,

10:36 the the only things you're really exporting, at least culturally,

10:39 is the light beer, which does taste like piss, and the the craft beer.

10:44 It's just not ubiquitous.

10:45 I hate when people go like, "Oh, uh, you just don't know the real American beer

10:48 at this small brewery down in Minnesota." Off.

10:51 Guess what?

10:52 You can have small breweries in every country.

10:55 We're talking about the genuine quality all around.

10:58 You don't say wine is great in England just because there are some good wines.

11:03 You go to France and then you weep because

11:04 IT TURNS OUT YOUR WINE IS Seven days in Europe.

11:08 Croissants and pasta.

11:09 3-hour dinners.

11:10 No gym.

11:11 Apparel spritz and wine.

11:13 Beach gelato.

11:14 Desserts.

11:15 Lost 5 lbs and never felt healthier.

11:17 Americans when they start walking 15 minutes a day

11:19 instead of taking the car to get to the toilet.

11:22 It's it's crazy the difference it makes to just be able to be fit by existing,

11:29 you know, just by living your life.

11:30 You don't have to work out.

11:31 You don't have to exercise.

11:32 You just go to work.

11:33 And to do that, it involves walking 10 minutes to get to the tube station,

11:36 getting off, maybe walk another 10 minutes, and you do that back the other way.

11:39 Guess what?

11:40 You've just spent 40 minutes of your day walking.

11:42 I know a lot of Americans are now waking up to this and they're like,

11:44 "I know, but we don't have." You can do it.

11:47 You got to protest.

11:48 All right.

11:49 Learn how to protest the right way.

11:50 pupils use phone locking stations at Scotland's first phone free school.

11:54 That sounds like an interesting idea.

11:56 I feel like I'd probably want a phone free school for my kid in a way.

12:00 It's just cuz they're so addictive.

12:01 It'd be like I don't know.

12:02 It just feels like a big thing.

12:03 So, I feel like that makes sense.

12:04 They're trying to make sure the people's actually focused.

12:06 It's fine.

12:07 If there's a shooting, how do they call for help?

12:11 Almost every other country has solved this problem

12:13 that you guys seem to be plagued with.

12:14 And uh schools in other countries aren't like dystopian horror films.

12:18 Wait a minute.

12:18 You can remove the phones.

12:20 Yeah, you can remove the guns, too.

12:21 You just have to, you know,

12:22 have some sort of moral backbone and a propensity to change things.

12:25 All right.

12:26 What do we got?

12:26 An American arrested in Brazil and wants American rights and amendments,

12:30 even in another country.

12:40 Okay.

12:41 Like a dog in a cage.

12:44 Yeah.

12:44 Like a dog in a cage.

12:45 This is how Brazilians treat American citizens.

12:48 Got it.

12:50 Listen up, Donald Trump.

12:53 Do whatever you want.

12:54 I'm a Trump supporter.

13:01 It's like It's like Trump is this man's like God.

13:05 He's like praying to him like, "But but I'm American.

13:08 I'm a Donald Trump supporter.

13:10 You can't touch me.

13:10 Donald Trump, please help me." Oh, it's God.

13:15 Also, if you're feeling bad for this man in any sort of way,

13:18 just know that uh he was arrested for supposedly

13:20 being a sex pest and stalking and harassing some women.

13:24 Yeah, there's too many clips online

13:25 of Americans being abroad and being like, "What?

13:28 What?

13:28 But what?

13:29 I have the right to do this." I was like, "No,

13:31 before you travel, look up the rights to the countries you're actually visiting.

13:35 A lot of times you'll find you have more.

13:37 And a lot of times you'll find, well,

13:39 there's a little bit less leeway for being a If you can't tip your server,

13:43 don't go out to eat.

13:45 Of course.

13:45 Of course.

13:46 Your bill 10753.

13:48 We got moved the decimal over one.

13:49 Yeah.

13:50 Times it by three.

13:51 What are you on about?

13:53 Jesus Christ.

13:54 30%.

13:56 Listen, I've made an entire video before about how bad the server

13:59 rage is in the US and why it is that way.

14:02 But it is still 213 an hour and it's

14:04 been like 6 7 years since I made that video.

14:07 And it's disgusting because the quality of life has been

14:10 pretty much staying the same if not going down in America.

14:12 But yet the cost of living has gone up so significantly.

14:15 So this bill is so much more than it used to be.

14:18 So even if it were 15 to 20% or 10 to 15%

14:22 like it used to be when I worked as a server,

14:24 that percent would mean you were making more money as tips.

14:27 But now it's just like oh 30% 40%.

14:30 You know what might be a radical idea?

14:32 Maybe maybe just pay servers a living wage, right?

14:35 No.

14:36 Cuz that's bad for the business owners.

14:38 Think about the millionaires in society.

14:40 What will they do?

14:41 What?

14:42 Then they'll just take up all their jobs.

14:43 Yes.

14:44 That's what happened in every other country, right?

14:46 We don't have waiters here.

14:47 No.

14:48 But we do.

14:50 Wait, they're they're actually paid A LIVABLE WAGE.

14:52 WOW.

14:53 I can't believe it.

14:54 Where in the world can you drink at 18?

14:57 Like everywhere except America.

14:59 Well, actually, let's bring up some interesting stuff.

15:02 Look at this map, right?

15:03 This is the legal drinking age around the world.

15:05 You can see that America is uh sharing the age

15:08 of 21 with uh Egypt and some other countries around there,

15:12 but most seem to be 18 or below.

15:14 But I'll do you one better because this is actually

15:16 the legal drinking age in public in a very specific manner.

15:21 However, this map of Europe might blow your mind if you're an American.

15:24 Looks like there is no minimum in most countries.

15:27 You can drink as long as you're in private.

15:30 I will say I don't know how accurate

15:32 this map is because I know that in Britain specifically,

15:35 you are actually allowed to go to a pub

15:37 with your family and have an alcoholic drink,

15:39 a low alcoholic beverage with your meal.

15:42 But any restaurant really,

15:43 as long as you're with your family and you're under 18, that's fine.

15:46 But I'm fairly certain you are not

15:47 allowed to drink alcohol if you're under five.

15:49 I don't think there's many British four-year-olds that are

15:51 like pregammon going out to the spoons being like,

15:54 "Hi, I'd like I'd like a Stella.

15:56 PLEASE, PLEASE GIVE ME a Stella.

15:58 Give me some Peroni." It's just different culture.

16:01 But I do think that the drinking age of 21

16:03 is crazy cuz you can go to war, right?

16:05 At 18, US is getting the draft back in it.

16:08 But it looks like 21.

16:10 No, no, you can't drink till you're 21.

16:13 That makes sense.

16:13 Europe chose their little walkable cities.

16:16 We chose to go to the moon.

16:18 Please stay there next time you go.

16:21 Listen, this is yet again a perfect encapsulation of Americans say.

16:25 So when they say Europe chose the little walkable cities,

16:29 think about what that means.

16:30 Who gets to benefit from walkable cities?

16:32 Let me see.

16:32 Uh everyone.

16:35 Everyone.

16:35 Who gets to benefit?

16:36 Wait, from walking on the moon?

16:38 Well, how many how many people walk on the moon?

16:41 Was it under 10?

16:43 Yeah, you you all get to enjoy really nice life.

16:46 But we had a couple people that actually went into the sky once.

16:50 Oh, man.

16:51 Oh, that's so good.

16:52 The cope is beautiful.

16:54 It's such a sad thing where they're like

16:56 desperately looking for like but but but the moon,

17:00 the Super Bowl, World War II, I can't keep up.

17:04 Do European clocks go to 24?

17:06 I'm referring to analog clocks as anyone could set a digital clock to 24.

17:10 I can't tell if you're joking or just American.

17:13 I will say I actually think that's quite a good question.

17:15 This American is clearly asking a question because he wants to know.

17:19 He's like, hm.

17:20 I mean, if they do have the military time,

17:22 do they have that on the analog clocks, too?

17:25 No.

17:25 I just want to throw it out there.

17:27 The clocks here are still just to 12.

17:29 I will not say it is better or worse.

17:31 I'll throw that out there.

17:32 I have switched over to military time, the full 24-hour clock,

17:36 but I still mess up with it all the time from my I guess more American brain.

17:40 So, I've nearly missed flights once because it was like,

17:42 oh yeah, I've got till 7:00 p.m.

17:44 till my flight, so I'm just going to get a little little milkshake over there.

17:47 No, it was actually 17, which is 5.

17:50 So, I nearly missed my flight, but I didn't never miss a flight out

17:52 of all 255 flights or whatever I've been on.

17:55 Not once.

17:56 Almost many times, but not once.

17:59 German police's quick reaction to a guy doing a Nazi salute.

18:03 Literal fascism, lol.

18:06 No freedom over there.

18:07 This is not something to celebrate.

18:09 The government can just ban anything and disguise it under hate speech.

18:13 That's a bad president.

18:17 Isn't it just a Nazi salute is quite

18:19 literally by definition just that IS HATE SPEECH.

18:22 LIKE WHAT, GUYS?

18:23 JUST BECAUSE HE'S DOING a Nazi salute and because

18:25 he's saying that the Jews and because he has

18:27 a Hitler mustache and because he's calling for the extermination

18:29 of a different genocide doesn't mean he's a Nazi guys.

18:33 It's a slippery slope.

18:34 Think about it.

18:35 This is just policing language in America.

18:37 We can No.

18:38 Fun fact, Americans do not have the freedom of speech that they think they do.

18:41 I've made an entire video about that because Americans are like,

18:44 "Oh, you can't send a tweet over there." It turns out no.

18:47 You're just sucking up your propaganda that you get from your news sources.

18:51 Sorry, news sources.

18:53 Why is it so difficult for people to love America?

18:56 It's a good question.

18:57 It's It's really hard to know.

18:59 Uh even with our flaws, we are still the greatest nation in the world.

19:04 That is truly that's it thread.

19:09 That is the most American thing you could say.

19:12 Maybe it's the modesty that puts people off.

19:13 Yeah, maybe it's the overconfidence.

19:16 Is 6 days off for 2025 excessive?

19:19 I'm a contractor who doesn't get paid time off.

19:22 If I don't go in, I don't get paid.

19:24 My coworker asked how many days off I took this year and I told him six.

19:28 He told me that it was crazy and that is way too much.

19:31 Am I in the twigite zone here?

19:33 Is 6 days too much time taken off.

19:35 I mean, I do work from home.

19:37 I don't have anything to laugh at here.

19:38 I'm just mostly depressed for this person.

19:40 I mean, I'm assuming they also don't work weekends, right?

19:43 You wouldn't like be bragging to your friend like,

19:45 "Oh, you only work 5 days a week.

19:47 What the hell?

19:48 You take two days off on the weekends.

19:50 What the hell is wrong with you?

19:51 How are you supposed to build up our GDP

19:53 so that the billionaires have more money to children?

19:55 What the is wrong with you?

19:56 Why don't you want to do that?

19:58 Americans think they have rights because certain

20:00 companies gift them benefits rather than the actual

20:03 rights being given to them by the government uh such as it is in Europe.

20:08 Just working all time.

20:09 You're you're going to be an old person and wonder what

20:11 you did with your life cuz you worked all the time.

20:13 She was born in America, but she set foot on Irish soil first.

20:20 Listen, I want to bully him, but I honestly think this is just a little sweet.

20:25 Maybe that's the American in me.

20:27 Sure, I know.

20:28 I know Americans get real over the top with their origins,

20:31 and then when you say something about it,

20:32 they go, "Well, I'm actually just American.

20:34 I've never been to Ireland yet." It's okay.

20:36 It's okay.

20:37 Let's just let them have their little time.

20:39 That baby's having a little little nice time stepping on the grass from Ireland.

20:43 It is though to be fair some Americans say.

20:47 Why does Italian pizza look so bad?

20:50 It seems uneven and disproportionate whereas American pizza

20:53 is far more balanced for its design and texture.

20:56 Going to have to have you Google ultrarocessed foods maybe some UPFs.

21:00 I can tell you that eating an Italian

21:01 pizza compared to an Italian American pizza.

21:03 Very different thing.

21:04 Very different thing.

21:05 I will say put me on the cross Italians.

21:09 I think American pizza, especially from New Jersey and New York,

21:11 is so much better than Italian style.

21:13 And actually, I wish I could get more

21:14 than New Jersey style pizza in this country.

21:16 But I cannot because all they have is this Italian one, which is nice.

21:20 But I will dill even with the UPFS.

21:23 I think American pizza is better.

21:25 Okay, dip it in the ranch.

21:27 I'll bring it back.

21:28 You dip it in some blue cheese.

21:29 This is my American hill.

21:31 I will die on.

21:32 All right.

21:32 This is my Sumpter Hill or whatever the is called.

21:34 Fort Sner.

21:35 Ah, something like that.

21:37 Next.

21:38 Do you use WhatsApp?

21:39 No, I live in a first world country.

21:42 Listen, listen.

21:43 This is where you find out I all the Americanness in me still existing.

21:47 But I think that's funny.

21:50 Is it because I'm still American?

21:52 Absolutely.

21:52 There is no debate between iMessage and WhatsApp.

21:55 Hate WhatsApp.

21:55 I hate haven't used WhatsApp.

21:57 I understand that it's so you could talk

21:59 to people that have Android phones and stuff, whatever.

22:01 But whenever an iPhone user uses it, I'm like, what is wrong with you?

22:04 You you ever send an image or a video on WhatsApp and you

22:07 can see all eight pixels of it and you're like, "What is this?

22:10 What?" It just compresses it so bad.

22:12 It's an awful messaging system.

22:13 I don't care that other people are on it.

22:15 I just don't really message them as much because I don't

22:17 like having to use a a disgusting app which compresses my images.

22:21 I sent some lovely drone videos to some friends the other

22:24 day on iMessage and I was like, "Look at this.

22:26 I shot these drone shots the other day.

22:27 I was so proud of them." And then this is what I sent to my friends on WhatsApp.

22:31 So poor Chris Bargo has to see this.

22:33 I'll die on that hill as well.

22:34 Okay, I'm so sorry.

22:36 Could someone like Jimmy Kimmel even exist in Germany?

22:39 Where's this going to go?

22:40 What we got?

22:41 Jimmy Kimmel is a comedian who appears on American television every weekn night.

22:45 He is known for being making uh he is known for being making political

22:53 jibes at the current president and ruling party is known for more than that.

22:57 Right.

22:58 My question is would this even be tolerated in Germany?

23:03 My US licenses to broadcast over the public

23:05 airwaves are granted by the government to private

23:08 companies and the broadcasting antennas are all

23:10 separately owned by other private companies in Germany.

23:14 Aren't all broadcast facilities owned by the government?

23:16 Are the people who appear on television government employees essentially?

23:20 Would a comedian be able to appear on German

23:22 television and criticize Friedriz consistently night after night?

23:28 Maybe read at least a bit about German television before embarrassing yourself.

23:32 Do you guys have freedom of speech on TV?

23:35 Are you allowed to protest against the government?

23:38 Or are you allowed to make jokes in Germany?

23:40 You can make jokes.

23:41 They just don't laugh in Germany.

23:43 They just don't they don't really have a sense of humor.

23:44 Right.

23:45 Look at this bread.

23:46 Right.

23:46 This guy hilarious to Germans.

23:49 They love him.

23:50 He's just a suicidal bread.

23:52 Burnt dust brought.

23:53 All right.

23:53 What do we got, Mr.

23:54 I like giving money to Elon Musk?

23:56 We've got I've noticed Europeans are

23:58 way more susceptible to propaganda than Americans.

24:01 Every time I travel and talk, European people at bars,

24:06 they repeat the same three talking points.

24:09 Mass shootings, healthcare, tipping.

24:13 Oh, damn.

24:14 So, that means the Europeans are more susceptible to propaganda.

24:17 It It sounds like they're more susceptible to understanding world

24:20 events in the news that's going on in your own country.

24:22 Yeah.

24:22 Every time I talk to Europeans,

24:23 they seem to bring up the same issues with our country.

24:26 I I actually don't really hear about that that much.

24:29 There's propaganda to tell us about the healthcare problems.

24:31 No, it's called being well read, you stupid.

24:34 I can't believe it.

24:36 Why are these Europeans so informed?

24:38 I It's so annoying.

24:39 It's It's obviously propaganda.

24:40 They're They're just reading into the propaganda.

24:42 They haven't heard about our national parks.

24:44 They haven't heard about the new double Whopper that they sell at Wendy's.

24:47 That's right.

24:48 There's a collab between Wendy's and KFC and Burger King.

24:51 They haven't heard about the KFC double down.

24:53 They haven't heard about all the new fried chicken joints jumping out.

24:56 All they talk about is the mass shootings

24:58 and the things that actually matter in society.

25:00 Please, if you are an American, I would just like to please beg of you

25:04 to just look things up before posting about it online.

25:08 You know, like Florida, man.

25:09 America is the Florida of the world.

25:13 Okay, Americans, that's kind of how it is.

25:14 But if you'd like to at least imagine what it's like to live

25:17 in another country or at least have an internet connection from one,

25:19 you can use today's video sponsor, NordVPN.

25:22 That's right.

25:22 NordVPN, if you didn't know, is the world's fastest virtual private network.

25:26 When you're on the internet at your home or everything else,

25:28 you think you have a nice connection.

25:30 That's cool.

25:30 But you're within the country that your ISP is located.

25:33 But what if you want to see the search results or look

25:35 up the news in another country and see what their results would be?

25:37 Well, with one click of a button with NordVPN, boom,

25:40 your internet connection is tunnneled all the way to France.

25:42 You can actually do the Google there and be like, "Oh my god,

25:45 this is the results that they get." And then

25:46 you can get news that is tailored to other countries.

25:48 It's actually quite interesting.

25:49 A lot of times when I'm doing research for these videos,

25:51 I'm actually looking up American articles that block me out because I have

25:54 these things called uh rights in the UK under GDPR and they're like,

25:58 "Whoa, we don't want to have to worry about your rights." So,

25:59 with one click of a button,

26:00 haha, I sneak on in because now they think I'm an American again.

26:04 It's great.

26:05 So, NordVPN allows me to do my job a bit better.

26:07 And hey, it increases my data privacy because whenever I'm abroad

26:10 and I want to be able to connect to the internet,

26:12 I want to make sure that nobody's spying on my stuff.

26:14 Guess what?

26:15 NordVPN provides a private tunnel from my connection

26:18 to the website I want to go to.

26:20 And that is good by me.

26:21 Plus, did you know that Nord has a 30-day money back guarantee?

26:24 I mean, if you've never tried it, you might as well give it a shot.

26:26 See what it's like.

26:27 See what the search results are.

26:28 And hey, if you are interested in NordVPN,

26:30 please sign up at nordvpn.com/evan because you can

26:32 get a huge discount on a 2-year plan.

26:34 Help support the channel.

26:35 Thank you very much to NordVPN for sponsoring.

26:37 Without further ado, let me wrap this up.

26:39 Welcome to the outro.

26:40 It's a bit of a doozy, isn't it?

26:41 Never thought I'd make it to five episodes or five and a half of Americans say.

26:45 But if you haven't seen any of the other ones, they're all a fun time.

26:47 I will leave a playlist of that over here, actually.

26:50 Uh, otherwise, thank you so much for watching.

26:51 Hope you had a good time.

26:52 And hopefully I'll see you back on my YouTube channel next Sunday.

26:55 Whatever I decide to upload, you never know.

26:58 It's kind of the dopamine pull.

27:00 Anyway, I'll see you next week.

27:02 Thanks for watching.

27:03 Goodbye.

27:05 Thanks for watching.

27:05 I'll see you guys next week.

27:07 Goodbye.

27:08 Neighbor night.
