Still deciding where we're going next! Comment below your suggestions!
If you ever go to SF, I cant wait to see your video about it.🤣
I want to see y'all in Boston and Downeast Maine
Put Louisiana on your list but you gotta come in either fall or February.
You will TOTALLY LOVE Las Vegas!!!! So much to do and see; so much entertainment and FOOD; truly a feast for the eyes and mouth!!! BUT NOT IN JULY!!! You'll die of heat-stroke!
buffalo ny, it’s very pretty in the summer and spring. would not go in the winter it’s awful. the water front is amazing and so much to do
As a “natural born Texican,” I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit!! Austin is kind of a weird island in the middle of our pretty normal state. Just so you know, there are lots of shelters and food services for the homeless but there are lots of what we call pan-handlers - people who make a living of begging, as well as the drug addicts who flock to the big cities. Most people are pretty compassionate towards the latter, not so much towards the former. I hope you come back soon!
As a native Texan (Dallas), I’m so glad you enjoyed your trip! You’re welcome back here anytime! I’m glad you experienced the southern hospitality that we’re known for. Nearly every single time I go somewhere, I end up talking to somebody I’ve never met because people are so nice! (Although that’s probably more common in Austin rather than Dallas.) I watch you guys religiously and hope you come to Dallas one day!!! It’s definitely very different than Austin. Plus, Fort Worth is just an hour away and it also has a completely different culture than Austin and Dallas. Just don’t come in the summer because you’ll hate the heat! I think I’m actually the only Texan that loves it super hot! So happy to hear y’all had a good time!
I think Joel might be a future Texan 🤠
or might be IN a future Texan
He went to try Texas BBQ and said he doesn't eat beef, ordered chicken and removed the skin... Still think he's a future Texan 😐
@@johnswanson7916 ikr, fucking dissapointment to Texans everywhere. Smdh
Not if he lives in Austin. That's not Texas no longer. Joel if you chose a democrat ran state or city to reside in, you will see homelessness, filth and a horribly run city or state. Stick with conservative areas for best quality of life.
I’m so happy you loved our state, Texas! You said some of the nicest things. Thank you. You were very honest about it. So glad you liked the river walk in San Antonio. Homelessness is a huge problem and it’s very sad.
HEB is great & has so much. I saw in another video how much you liked Whataburger!
Welcome back soon! People are friendly here. You two are super nice!
You guys make me feel so happy when I’m down and feeling depressed. Lia’s smile puts me in a good mood and Joels voice is soothing to me. And Your right. People in the US look down on the homeless. It’s so sad. And addiction is a disease and it can happen to normal people late in their life. I really love your videos.
Your tour of HEB was a fave of mine. We love our HEB!
I'm an employee at HEB logistics in San Antonio
Yes H‑E‑B and Buccee’s!
I'll take your federal emergency response team and raise you a regional grocery store.
Austin has a lot of California transplants. Austin is really California light.
If you were shocked by the homeless in Austin, prepare yourself for Los Angeles.
I agree about Austin being California light. I'm origianlly from San Antonio and while it's still true Texas I did notice that it's starting to get watered down a bit by the transplants from out of state. One of the results of having a strong economy I guess. 😏
True; the friendliness of Texas is getting "watered-down" because of all the transplants. Pretty soon, it's gonna be like any other state.
@@TheTerrylwg And the driving is getting worse. I used to be so proud of Texas drivers. Yes, they drive fast, but they still drive friendly. I was shocked by the number of aggressive drivers that I encountered when I moved to Colorado. But the last few times that I've visited Texas I noticed an uptick in bad drivers. It's so sad.
@@americanfairy It's usually all the non Texan transplants who drive this way.
@@JasnoGT I figured as much. Still, it can be a bit sad and frustrating to see.
Yessss!!! Definitely come back to San Antonio. Y'all need to come next April during fiesta. Its a week long party here in San Antonio. Lots of food/tacos, music, dancing and margaritas!!! The Riverwalk is super Lit!!!! 😁
And the parades!
I. Bosquez and the Alamo
When Joel said "hire a car" my brain was like, what? We say "rent a car" in the USA, haha.
My cousin works for a homeless shelter that requires residents to be sober. Homeless people constantly reject the offer of shelter in favor intoxication, even in weather conditions that threaten their lives.
I don't blame them. Their lives are hard. When we are a bit sad, we binge on pizza or go on a $1000 shopping spree. They shoot heroin or drink. No difference
Homelessness even in SF now, which never occurred to this amount years ago, it's appalling feces, syringes everywhere. In US if a person isn't self sufficient and gets themselves a job then it's sort of looked down upon. We dont have NHS or good free care here as a person needs to "help themselves" as it's not a nanny state here so much.
Glad you clarified that you were in Austin. I've been all over Texas, and it's so different in other places, probably because it's such a massive state.
Why not go to a host family? I'm sure viewers would be willing to drive you around.
Most Americans only get 10 days vacation.
I’ll be down to doing that :).
That would be awesome! I’d be more than happy to host them and show them around Music City.
Peter King So? Just because I’m working doesn’t mean I can’t host them and show them around after work.
A host family would be ideal. You could probably set something like that up pretty easily. Or, in the alternative, stay at a hotel or air bnb but arrange day hosts for each day. You could probably arrange for different viewers to host different days and get totally different experiences each day.
Your “pajama top” looks like a real shirt under your overalls. ;) Looks cute.
I love how Joel stares off and smiles while he’s thinking about the Texas trip.
Yes, y’all need to come back to Texas!!! D/FW this time!!
So happy to hear you liked Texas! That’s how we feel and yes you need to come to Dalllas and Ft.Worth( Cowtown) 🤠👍🏼 You’re videos are funny!🤣
Nelda Jean Aye another Fort Worthian, Cowtown baby!
San Antonio is good too actually visit all of Texas it is nice. Big cities and towns
You could spend a month in Texas and still not see everything!
I don't think they will have as much fun in Dallas.
You totally nailed the attitudes in the US and England on the homeless. One of the things I loved the most about my recent visit to London was seeing how respectfully and kindly the homeless folks that I saw were treated by others, even if it was just a simple apology for not having change. In the US, there are so many folks who treat the homeless as subhuman. So sad. So wrong.
So many homeless people in all of America have mental health problems. If they could get help they would be able to work and have a home. I've seen this first hand. Obviously not all homeless people but a large majority of them. America's mental health care system is a mess and people are suffering because of it.
Problem is, back in the day when people used to be in asylums and mental treatment facilities, they were experimented on, and some people were sent when they didn't have problems, and there was so much corruption, that they made it so incarcerating someone with mental health issues in an asylum was outlawed. So nowadays, when someone has mental health issues, they won't put them in institutions without the patient's ability to check themselves out against medical advice, so people will check in and out at will, and end up right back out on the street instead of actually taking the help they need so desperately. As soon as the drug fix kicks in for addicts, they're like, NOPE, I'm outta here. Those who aren't addicted will either walk away or check themselves out, and then end up back on the streets as well. Even if they have someone who is their guardian, the guardian can't force them to stay somewhere to get help. On another note, I'd say the drug problem and the mental illnesses here, and the street life makes the homeless much more dangerous here than in the UK. It's a much harsher reality in many places.
@@Teeleesom5 what does corruption mean?
So true. My own brother has been homeless because he has a laundry list of mental illnesses and the department of mental health has given up on him (he has been a client for 35 years) because he is very difficult to deal with. We really need a better way to help our people with mental issues.
So many people do not want to work and expects society to fund them
@@winniethepooh8353 In this case, it means doctors in positions of power doing things they shouldn't at the expense of the patients. Such as people would be put in mental hospitals even when they didn't need to be, and some facilities would mistreat their patients in horrible ways, but they were basically "prisons" for people that had nowhere else to go that had mental issues. These places would get big funding, but the people weren't being taken care of (we're talking decades and decades ago, but some still did awful things clear up to just a few decades ago when they finally closed.) The history of mental asylums has a dark past.
As an Uber driver, I’d love to see your fun experiences with Uber. I always try to engage and be entertaining or informative. And of course will take a hint if the rider doesn’t want to be talked with.
Love your show guys!
I’m not sure how that drivers wife would feel about the surprise offer for dinner. However, most people in Texas are pretty friendly.
I agree public transportation is severely lacking in Texas, even in the large cities.
What? I can take the bus anywhere in Austin and San Antonio. I did so whilst at university. I think people who drive doesn't really know about the bus experience in America.
I lived in Austin and Houston and had to ride the bus. It was terrible. It took forever to get anywhere, a bike was preferable to riding the bus. Bike plus bus was manageable, but a car gives you more access to places that dont have regular public transportation service.
@@theresag1969 I live in Houston and the bus is generally used for commuting to and from Downtown, Med Center, Greenway Plaza during the work week. It is not, let's just hop on the bus and go to the store, or to the doctor. Not in suburbia. There are those that take it in the inner loop, but its generally just faster to just drive.
It’s not that it’s lacking, most people in the US own their own cars so there’s no need for a giant metro system or intricate bus routes
@@perkibest22
Well too bad for Houston. You can and I've done it in San Antonio and Austin, way out to suburbia where I lived in both locations. I can tell you if you don't try to use it you won't really know what it have offer.
Thanks for the video 😀. I would adore you to see New Orleans. The food, people, music and different areas are all Amazballs.
There are non-stop flights from LHR during the summer.
Taddawson68 Dawson even more homeless people...
umop apIsdn Theres homeless anywhere you go. Sure more in some areas, but in my opinion, Louisiana has sooooo much culture and nice/kind people. Specially New Orleans. Now during Marco Agra’s I’d be a little careful because we do tend to go a little overboard, but I’ve never had as much fun in any other state and I’ve been to most of em
The word "lit" here in South Carolina means "tipsy!" Love your channel! You are both SO human and laid back!
Depends on your age.
@@rebeccaisabella2303 Really? News to me. Is that a put-down?
Yeah...I like Texas. But..."all my ex's live in Texas, That's why I hang my hat
in Tennessee." ROTFL!
@Nicolas
lol
🙄
lol
That is one of the dumbest songs ever.
Yes!!! Come back to San Antonio! Would love to smoke y'all a brisket!
Yes!! CHACHOS!!
Patrick Connelly really? Of all the restaurants you come up with Chachos???
I just got back from Austin and I completely agree with your point about how welcoming everyone was. The friendliest city I've ever been to. Loved this video, it's made me want to go back to Texas!
I have worked with many homeless people . Many of them would not go to the shelters because they would get bullied and have there thing stolen by the other homeless. also many of them are dealing with mental illness .
You can thank Ronald Reagan.He made HUGE budget cuts for mental institutions . That's why so many mentally ill people wander the streets.
Actually the biggest percentage of homeless are drug addicts and make the choice to ruin their lives
@@wuhanlabtech3580 yeah?alot of homeless people didn't do drugs when they became homeless.i was alcohol and drug free when I became homeless.i saw alot of other people too.alot of homeless people moved up here when Reagan screwed up America . They used to have jobs that went overseas.
@@thealaskan1635 ahh thebjob exodus happened when free trade deal with China went through and that was under Clinton.. just facts .. also facts most the homeless where not workers in the Reagan years they are much younger .. sorry I dont blame my lifes problems on others it's called being responsible .. if I somehow became homeless I would never become a drug addict .... what purpose would that serve?? Make this worse ?? Ya great life plan!! Sorry I use my mind and body for useful things not destructive things
@@wuhanlabtech3580 wrong, genius.Reagan was president.All those Nike jobs went to little kids in third world countries.Then car companies sent jobs to Mexico.IBM quit making computers.Quit watching lies at FOX fake news.
Many homeless people don't want to live in shelters and will refuse any offers for them to do so.
It's unfortunate, but true. Many homeless won't accept help in any form. This is usually the schizophrenic/mentally ill, and not the addicts.
Because they don't want to live by rules and there are strict rules in shelters
Or they've been attacked in a shelter in the past and no longer want to go there.
Also, Joel and Lia do seem a bit naive about the homeless situation. Yes, there are some people who are homeless due to addiction, mental illness, and financial reasons. But there are also a sizable amount of people who are homeless because they want to be. The homeless shelter in my town recently added a bunch of new beds, but the people refuse to take advantage of it. Also, my uncle had briefly hired a homeless person, and was willing to help him find housing, but the guy refused and even quit his job once he had earned as much money as he felt he needed. Some people don't want the responsibility of paying rent, taxes, and keeping up with a home.
TLDR - Some homeless people choose their lifestyle and refuse the help of shelters and outreach programs. That's why there's such a negative attitude towards them.
Knowing people who work at homeless shelters it is true many homeless people choose to live on the streets rather than abide by the rules of the shelter. Others are mentally ill and they fear living in a shelter and around people. I wish we could do more for these people too but short of putting them all back into institutions for the Mentally ill there is not much that can be done for those who refuse help.
And something else about this problem that is specific to Austin, that is where the Texas State Hospital is located. Many people who were brought there over the years with mental illness (not drug problems, per se), when they were discharged didn't want to go home or didn't have anyone there who wanted them, so they decided for one reason or another to just stay in Austin.
Guys, I was in Texas for several days after you were there. I've been to Texas many times, but this was the first time in San Antonio. After seeing your video about Gourdough's in Austin, I checked to see if they had a location in San Antonio. Luckily, one had just opened right on the Riverwalk! So I tried it, and I loved it. I never would have tried it were it not for you. Thank you!
Texas loves y’all is so true fam
Insightful and hilarious! I really felt that you guys would would like the vibe in Austin. Loved the Texas series! Such fun. Thanks! L&C 👍 ♥️😘🇬🇧
Nah Austin Texas SUCKS!
The vibe in Austin is not a Texas vibe, bcz most ppl in Austin are not from Texas. So, Joel & Lia you picked the wrong town for the Texas experience. I travel a lot and I am most at home in the smaller towns scattered between the big cities here. But, that's just me being from Texas and loving it.
When I first moved to Austin I also, thought the homeless problem was pretty bad. And I tried to help which is when I discovered the majority of them don't want help. Therefore is the reason you see many homeless. They just don't see homelessness as a problem.
Atlanta is the worst
Austin probably has more homeless people than most other Texas cities perhaps because the Austin State Hospital is one of the main psychiatric hospitals in the state. A lot of homeless panhandle around the University of Texas campus.
David Roberts says this winner of a human being you must be....
Some of them too are not homeless. I saw one lady that would panhandle off Parmer but then my husband saw her taking her dry cleaning yo shop in a BMW...
I loved your Texas series! I think my favorite was when you went to the shooting range! I almost died when Lia turned toward Joel with gun in hand! Then I couldn't stop laughing about Lia's excitement over her new "camera" case! You two did a great job on the Texas series!
Fantastic video series al in all. Loved the fails and falls as much as the highlights. Love you all. ❤️♿️❤️♿️
You could do a reaction video comparing your previous assumption videos about Texas to your experience.
I love what you said about homelessness and addiction! That ignorant cruelty triggers me too!
So triggering! I hate it when people spout ignorant views like that
Katie Pitkin amen
Ditto.
I worked with homeless people in Miami. There are a lot of issues and very few solutions. Most shelters require people to be sober because of insurance issues (if shelters allow people using or under the influence, they open up themselves to lawsuits and other legal problems), so most of the people you see on the streets are quite unpredictable. When people say, “they won’t go to a shelter,” they’re not entirely wrong - they can’t be in the shelter high.
@@ThoseTwoBrits1 I'm a fan but you guys are being the ignorant one's. It's not all black and white as you think.
Texas is a very friendly and genuine place. Glad you got to experience it.
You guys I loved this peppy and honest video of your time in Texas. I love Texas, but am from Missouri in the Midwest. Your background scenery is just lovely in this video. Have a peaceful weekend.
I'm Texan through and through I live in San Antonio I've been watching several of your episodes I meant to say this on a different video every major city is blue the rest of Texas is red but Austin is a California blue it shouldn't be the capital of Texas it's the redheaded stepchild Austin is nothing like the rest in Texas
The “blue” cities you mention include Austin, Greater Houston, DFW, San Antonio, which metros together is almost 20 million people, or 2/3s of the State’s population. Maybe we need 2 capitals. Where would you like the “red” capital (sorry, I assume you are a loyal servant to Trump and Moscow Mitch)? Hey,miser there some crap town called Moscow, Texas?
Okay old man
theespazmaster so how old are you? $7.25/hour I bet.
Instead of coming up with an argument you insult that shows your intelligence
Okay, Boomer
y'all definitely need to come back to Texas! and when you come to DFW, you should stop by the restaurant I work at (it's a Brit-owned pub and a small corner store inside) if you're missing a taste of home!! plus, we've won awards for the 2nd best fish & chips in the nation and the best in Texas :)
I’m American and taking my first trip to Texas for my birthday 😀. Thank you so much for this review I am now more excited for my trip 🥰 👍🏽
Y'all are adorable! I'm a Texan who lives in Austin & loved hearing your recap. Yes, HEB rocks & the vibe here is dope!! LOL I love my city. 😉 I'm headed out this week for my first trip to England!! Very excited to see your beautiful county. ❤
Cool to point out the differences between us Brits and America in your trips it's so cool
Thank you!
"That's the time I fell down at Wendy's..." Uh, Lia? How 'bout "That's the time I almost shot and killed Joel!" lol Good times. ;)
Haha, right?! I forgot about that one! :D
Just found out about your channel guys. I used to live in San Antonio and now moving to London in 10 weeks from the North East of England. I got the same vibes off Texas after living there for a year. It's an incredible place. The people are super kind, sociable and just truly respectful/ For real, a couple of my uber drivers in Texas had candy, bottles of water and incredible stories. I noticed something there, people genuinely mean everything they want to tell you. When they say "have a nice day!" they really mean it. I love Texas :)
I'm so happy, you enjoyed your trip to Texas. Y'all come back, soon!
A large portion of the homeless in the US suffer from mental illness or are chronic drug users. These two factors makes it hard because they tend to do things that get them kicked out of their homes, rental houses and shelters. Many families try to get help for them but they can't be made to stay in treatment (not that most of it is very effective) and leave. They quickly relapse and start the cycle again. VERY FEW people are "chronically" homeless because of bad luck. As Joel noticed, most of our homeless aren't just down on their luck but generally have mental/medical issues. A 2015 survey reported that 25% had serious issues like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Many years ago these people would be committed to mental hospitals that were dehumanizing, prison-like institutions. Our great solution was to shut them down and let everybody out. Today the three largest mental health hospitals in US are Cook County Jail in Illinois, Los Angeles County Jail, and Rikkers in New York.
Agreed. Instead of trying to fix the mental health system we just shut all of the hospitals down. The few that do exist are constantly full, so it's hard to find a bed when you have a family member that's suffering from a mental health crisis. It's so sad.
@@americanfairy Mental health is a HUGE problem that won't be fixed anytime soon. Modern medicine has some amazing knowledge and treatments for our physical sufferings but, when it comes to treating mental disorders, it feels like they are barely past bleeding people to get out the bad spirits. My wife lost her older sister at the age of 30 due to mental issues and drug addiction. She was bi-polar and would bounce between depression and manic states, she would become violent and also used intravenous drugs. They eventually had to kick her out of the house because she would become physical and stole items to sell. Her parents would pay rent but then she would do things and get kicked out of apartment complexes. She would get help then stop taking her medication and spiral out of control once again. I don't think that anything else could have been done other than to have her committed to psychiatric hospital for the rest of her life. I would like to be hopeful for the future but I just don't see the advances coming in the treatment of mental illness. I hope you have better luck with your family member.
@@david-1775 I am so sorry to hear about your sister-in-law! And thank you for the well wishes for my family member. Unfortunately, things aren't going so well with him. Only time and effort can tell if things will improve.
I went to a boarding school in High Wycombe England when I was 17 and my dad was in the military so I was fortunate to see many amazing people but now I am a truck driver across the US and get to see how great our country is. Smart not to drive and are homeless is quite high
Texas welcomes you back anytime
Great show, I'm glad you had a good time in Texas. I love your background set. Seem much better then a bed. Very cool.
Amarillo, Texas.
Come on Down, i would LOVE top Show you Around. My Grandmother came fromme Dorset, Parkstone... in 1955.
Enjoyed the Texas Vids! Keep it up guys! #favyoutubers
Thanks so much!
i just got back from working in austin for 2 months, and absolutely loved it! i could definitely live there after my 2 years in London
Love this video, especially your assessment of the homeless problem! Love y’all!
I am. Always helpful with homeless. But I share food, not money.
Joel and Lia,
I would love to invite you to Georgetown, Texas, 25 miles north of Austin. I would be happy to drive you around! (But not in Dallas---you could get lost on their freeways and NEVER find your way out. And I'm used to LA freeways.😍💝🐱
Love you guys!
I'm a retired teacher, lived in LA for 40 years as a junior high teacher and retired in Texas.
Georgetown is a nice place. Keep Georgetown normal! 😁
By the way I'm a Dallas native but this weekend I went to a music festival in Denton ( UNT college town). It was so amazing! The community vibe there is fantastic. Everyone was dancing with each other. Denton is like a miniature version of Austin without the bourgeois. you guys would love it too.
TX is full of fun art... The Prada installation in Marfa. The MANY installations in and around Amarillo... glad you had your experience.... come back for more!
Honestly - If you are going in July - the south will be just too darn hot and sticky. Now I'm from Kentucky and I try to go north in the summer ... maybe consider the Pacific NorthWest, Seattle, Pikes Market Puget Sound ... or Northern California. Big Sur and Carmel by the Sea, Monterey, Redwood Forests ... find a legend with a convertible and live the lyrics to the Johnny Rivers Song, Going Back to Big Sur ... "Guess I'll drive up Highway One and see the Ocean kiss the setting sun"
Northern California.....Beautiful, friendly and lots to do and see!!!
Always carry a multi-plug so you can share the outlet with others who need to recharge. American etiquette.🤟 I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A VIDEO OF YOU BOTH TAKING TURNS DRIVING! That would really tickle me.🤣👏
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Made me SMILE! Come back any time...always welcome! I’m in Fort Worth/Dallas.
Since I live in San Antonio, your Texas Series was my favorite.
The more you come to the US, the more you will need to have your own car. Most cities don’t have great public transportation, and everything is spaced out.
Trip ideas: Houston and San Antonio, Texas; San Francisco, California; Portland, Oregon; New Orleans, Louisiana; Or Washington, DC/Baltimore, Maryland combo
Love you guys!!
We have Fiesta going on in San Antonio right now. Glad y'all enjoyed yourselves in our hometown.
You guys should do this for New Jersey!
Glad you enjoyed yourselves!!!
Homelessness, its bad everywhere I’m sure but I was really shook by a
documentary I just saw about how bad it has gotten in Washington state, because of their local government choices. The problem is out of control and people are perplexed
Hi Joel and Lia. Well I recall your Greyhound bus odyssey; I know the Amtrak traIn goes from Texarkana to El Paso, but takes almost 2 days. Thanx
Texans are always in Holiday mode. ❤️❤️❤️
Lit Vibrations!! Lmao Love it!!
Try Colorado. Mountains and lots to do in the Denver Metropolitan area.
Michigan is a great place to go in the summer. The Great Lakes are so beautiful in this summer. I think that you would really enjoy Mackinaw Island. the problem is a lot of the cities are very small and not everywhere even has Uber drivers
Yes, driving is a MUST in Michigan.
What a wonderful work trip! You guys have a great job 😄🇺🇸💕
haha we love it! Very lucky to do this!
I would say it depends on the individuals you meet mostly, but the regions also determine how you are treated. I have grown up and traveled around the States. Been to about half, never ran into someone that wasn't willing to help if I was lost. I remember one day in Chicago, got lost looking for the train, and we were running a bit late. This homeless guy heard us talking about which street to be looking for. He came up told us how to find it. We looked a bit confused, so he took us through a building as a short cut and saved us about 5 minutes. He didn't even want money, was just happy to help.
You should head to the Pacific Northwest. Seattle, Washington or Portland, Oregon are great cities and are a very different experience and vibe than the South or East Coast.
I live in Tacoma... The Pacific Northwest has a lot to offer. Not only the cities, but the temperate rain forest, Mt. Saint Helen, the Space Needle, the Pacific Ocean coastline, the Columbia River, the Cascade mountain range with it's ski resorts... a wonderful variety of options! LOVE living here...
I spent a long weekend in Seattle and I loved the vibe there. I think Joel and Lia would love it too. I am from NH and it's beautiful here but the mountains there are just breathtaking.
I love the greenery of Oregon. Seattle is great.
I'm a native Texan and married a Washingtonian and honestly the Pacific Northwest are rude especially Seattle the dispensaries are nice especially Zips Cannabis on 38th St in Tacoma,WA
Traverse City, Michigan in the late Summer / early Autumn
Went there for the first time a few years ago. LOVED it.
I am from Michigan and that is a beautiful area! Been there many times.
Went there for early fall....awesome!! Great breweries, wineries...lots to do...great food, friendly people
Michigan is so green and blue...so many lush trees and all that water, the rivers and lakes. There's a reason the first British colonial government wanted to keep Michigan Territory wild and underdeveloped! Mackinac Island, too. Be careful in Detroit though. Driving is a must!
So happy you had a lit time.
As I've said before.....New England in the fall. So beautiful.
Nashville is the place to be ...the Hollywood of the South...if you like country music...By the way, I loved your Austin vlogs!
I think ya'll would ABSOLUTELY ADORE New Orleans Louisiana -- OMG the French Quarter is something ya'll would NEVER forget SO much to see & the hospitality is just OFF THE CHARTS wonderful! Also the cuisine/food puts Texas to shame b/c NOLA is well known for our delicious amazing food!! BBQ oh we can do much better than that for sure! We are VERY friendly down & down to earth & would love to have you. PLEASE consider your next trip to New Orleans (especially during MARDI GRAS) THANK YOU
I just found your videos today and love them. I from Texas and found your comments interesting.
So glad you loved Texas!!!
hey ya'll good morning I enjoyed watching ya'll explore parts f Texas wish you could have seen more than Austin or that tiny part of San Antonio
Yes, there is much more to Austin than what you did see. Come back sometime!
When y'all come back to Texas, y'all will need to check out my neck of the woods in North Texas.
I'm really glad you guys had margaritas on the river walk in San Antonio.. it's one of the best experiences to have in Texas!
Great video. Good to see you reminiscing about your Austin trip. The Austin series was the best. I agree with you regarding the homeless.
So glad y’all had a good time!
Texas is amazing! I haven’t left since I moved her 20 years ago.
Uber to the rescue! I think that would be the best way to go anywhere in America. Because they are local and know their way around. Good idea on the Uber video! Make sure y’all post it first!
Homelessness is messy either way you look at it. The unfortunate thing is there are people who properly use the system and others who abuse it just based out of plain laziness...making it so difficult for those who really want to change their lives around. I get both sides, which is probably one of the reasons Austin and New York have such a problem.
If you get a chance to come to Fort Worth, we have the Stockyards. It’s pretty much like going back in time. Super fun and real rodeos and cowboys everywhere!
Driving a car in the US comment was funny. My daughter and sister-in-law rented a car in Scotland and were scared spitless the entire time they were driving there.
I can testify that my dad was frazzled after driving in Edinburgh for a day that even though my family had planned to drive from there to London, he turned in the car, and we took the train South.
Everyday in Texas is a great day.
You all just gave me the biggest business Idea EVER! Thank you!
Cities worth visiting in the US that you haven't been to yet:
-Boston: The US's history city and sports city.
-Philadelphia: The Rocky steps, cheasesteaks, further History (The liberty bell, independence hall)
-Washington DC: The Capital of the country. Loads of museums and monuments.
-Chicago, Pizza: skyscrapers, baseball, Lost in The Pond guy (Would love to see a crossover video).
-New Orleans: Mardis Gras and Bourbon Street
-Denver: hiking and skiing in the beautiful Rockies
-LA: Showbiz city, plus great weather and beaches
-San Fran: Hippie city USA!
-Portland: Hippie city USA... Jr!
Seattle: If Boston, Denver, and San Fran had a baby (and it was brothers with Portland). Water views, sailing, boating, hiking, city life. Visit here first (might be a bit biased)!
Matt haha San Francisco hasn’t been a “hippie city” for 40 years. It’s the high-tech capitol. Kind of opposite of hippies these days.
Matt Nashville?
@@jessicawatson7360 Yes! Nashville has become the US's music city.
Great suggestions!!
I am curious, what is your Uber Rating
Saw all your Texas videos, I’m from Austin and looks like y’all had a great time. Think your opinion on Austin was right on the nail. I’m originally from El Salvador and people in Texas are super friendly. I have travel from Panama up to Canada and 36 states and Austin is truly special. Hope y’all come back soon.
As a kid that grew up in Dallas, trips down to San Antonio riverwalk were always the best
I wish I was one of the Uber drivers and grab an selfie 🤳 😫if you ever arrive in New England I will be there 🤪
Chicago!! (I'm not from Chicago, I just love it.)
Yeah I do too.
I just discovered y’all like 48 hours ago and I have to say that y’all need to let me know the next time you visit Texas because y’all seem like so much fun! I will volunteer to be your personal tour guide! ❤️🤍💙
The Uber idea is great!
I'm buying y'all an audio kit. Your audio needs some help, lol
Where do I send it
Addressing the homeless issue: yes, it’s sad the amount of homeless currently in U.S. cities, but the attitudes of people toward those homeless are kind of understandable because, as you said, the homeless here are “scary,” and sometimes dangerous. I just got back from New York and tried to give money to homeless when I could but many of them are suffering from mental issues/addiction and are often belligerently hostile toward everyone and people you don’t want to encounter at night when you’re alone. I think those scary experiences with the homeless shape people’s attitudes toward the homeless population in general, and our government (unfortunately) doesn’t provide any kind of medical services to help these people with their mental issues and addictions, so they’re left to fend for themselves. I’m sure that’s part of the reason why so many homeless are as hostile as they are. It’s a sad situation but not one the average person can do anything about.
There’s also the issue of people wanting to live on the streets, refusing beds in shelters because they don’t want to abide by their rules, and choosing to remain homeless despite opportunities to try to pull themselves out of their situations. They prefer to live without any responsibilities, even if that means sleeping on the streets. You can’t help people who don’t want help.
You just put into words what i was about to type. Spot on!
Every city run by Democrats has a bad homeless problem
I didn't think so at first but it checks out.
You’ve just got to come to Atlanta Georgia. You’ll love it!!!
As an Uber driver and Montanan I would LOVE to see you guys do a video on both! Come to Montana in July/August and you WILL have a blast....camping, hiking, visiting the National Parks, float trips!, fishing, and so much more. It is SO incredibly beautiful you will have a great "different" experience and some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet!
